Name: Karzan Zaraki (First name pronounced CAR-ZEN)
Alias: The Massacre Fang
Age: 592 (Appears to be in his late 20's or early 30's)
Gender: Male
Class: Arrancar
Faction: Las Noches
Rank:Primera Espada, Second in Command, Lord of the Deep
PvP Availability: Ask Permission
Description: 6 foot 4 inches tall, and jet black hair, Karzan might be described by some as having a "fatherly" appearance, were it not for the golden irises and slitted pupils of his eyes. His mask fragment is located at the back of his skull, underneath his hair, making it seems as if he does not have one. His canine teeth verge on being fangs, but most people do not even see him open his mouth.
His Hollow hole is on his chest, just below the neck line. He wears the classic Arrancar garb, only with a longer than normal coat, with the front open and collar upturned, over a white tank-top, and a teal colored obi holding up his pants rather than a black or white one.
Reiatsu Color: Teal
Personality: In the last 300 years, Karzan has had much time to dwell on his past, and his ambitions for the future. Much calmer than he used to be, Karzan avoids unnecessary conflict with regular Hollow, but purposely antagonizes any lesser Arrancar he encounters out in the Sands, and will often deprive them of feeling as if the fight has truly ended, hoping to goad them into trying to better themselves, and attract them to the Espada.. However, if he has chosen to devote himself to a fight, then he is ruthless, and will not hesitate to play on his opponents fears and weaknesses. When dealing with what few allies he has, Karzan is understanding, and tries to be as neutral as possible, but he is easily exasperated by the power hungry and aggressive people that surround him.

His wife and other family were cut down by Shinigami after they became Hollows.

History: Leader of a pack of werewolves living in North America during the late 1800's, Karzan had a wife, who bore him a son, which they named Azerik. In the month before his son would come of age, the village in which the pack lived was attacked by a large band of bandits, and the entire pack was killed in the night. Karzen woke to find himself in the town center, surrounded by the corpses of his fellows, some of them between the stages of transforming into their lycan forms. He looked down at his chest, and saw a rapidly decaying chain, the looked around seeing the same happening to other adults of the pack. Confused and scared, Karzan turned into a wolf like Hollow, with black skin, and a red striped Hollow mask. Along with the rest of the pack's adults, he went on a rampage, devouring the souls of the remaining children, as well as a few of his fellow Hollows. He also ended up devouring the soul of a human girl, who had been dating his 17 year old son, but when he turned to start devouring his son, a small platoon of Shinigami showed up and started to exorcise the rampaging Hollows. He watched as the Hollow that had been his wife was slain in front of Azerik, then bounded off into the nearby forest. When he was far enough away from the slaughtering grounds, he departed for Hueco Mundo.
During his first 100 year tenure in Hueco Mundo, Karzan devoured many hollows, and eventually became an Adjucha. It was not long after becoming an Adjucha, that he heard of the growing army of Arrancar. He traveled to Los Noches, while continuing to devour Hollows, and became a Vasto Lorde along the way. In one particular incident, Karzan earned himself the title "Massacre Fang" by annihilating, and consuming over 300 Hollows, with a fair number of Gillians, and a few Adjucha among them. Karzan was turned into an Arrancar, and remained unknown for some time. Some 100 years after his initial transformation, Karzan became the Primera Espada.
About 20 years in the time of Hueco Mundo passed, and Karzan served Lord of the Deep Anubis faithfully, and was made the Second in Command. Soon after, Anubis disappeared into the desert, and did not return. To protect the throne for his master, Karzan, the loyal dog of Anubis, took his master's title, and sat on the throne of Las Noches. He guards is jealously, still hoping for the return of Anubis, but striving to return Las Noches to glory, searching the desert for strong Hollow and Arrancar, and making plans to show the other factions that his kind are still a threat.
After the failed invasion of Karakura, Karzan fumed at the disastrous effect it had had on the unity of his army, and at the fact that he had been defeated by a naive boy such as Clyde. Karzan locked the throne room and focused on planning his next moves, carefully considering everything, and coming to two conclusions: he had become distracted by the idea of turning Clyde into a martyr, and he would have to unify the Arrancar under a common goal before he could make them what they needed to be. To do that, he would have to remove Kyoshin from the position of power he had, and he knew just the way to do it. He smiled to himself as he plotted how he would teach the fool a lesson in humility...no more handouts, Kyoshin would have to earn his way back into power, just as Karzan had. As he made these plans, and sought to pin down the reasons he had failed up until now, Karzan was forced to face the reality that Anubis had abandoned Las Noches. When he came to this realization he was at first angry, but he soon came to terms with it. He no longer had to do any of this for his "master", his ideals were now his own. With these convictions, he became convinced he could realize his goals, even if the Espada turned against him.
It would not be long before Karzan realized that rebellion from the Espada was a very real threat, and he began to modify his plans. To hold off the inevitable, he had demoted Kyoshin, and placed the former Tercero Espada Rose Leocadia -with whom Kyoshin was "involved"- as his replacement. He knew this would eventually drive the youngling to such rage that he would not hesitate much longer to kill Karzan, who knew that even if the other Espada did not sympathize with the whelp, they would certainly not hesitate to use him as a puppet against Karzan. When Kyoshin eventually challenged Karzan for his throne, the Lord of the Deep did not hold back. Their contest would end in a stalemate, when Kyoshin realized he had yet to surpass Karzan. Wandering off into the desert, he has not been seen since, but he is presumably training so that when he returns he can take the throne. Karzan remained as the Lord of the Deep, though there were few Espada left for him to rule. He was content in this however, as it gave him an opportunity to restructure, and mold the castle of Las Noches to his designs.

Zanpaktou
Name: Destello-Colmillo (Flashing Fang)
Description: His unreleased sword is a Spanish Cazoleta sword.
Resurreccion
When Karzan releases his Zanpaktou, his already abnormally sharp canine teeth become razor sharp fangs, and black armored Hollow skin covers both his arms and legs, and his mask fragment changes to form a protective yet flexible ring of bone like armor around his neck, and extends under his lower jaw and forms fang like protrusions around his chin. His hands covered in the black Hollow skin are clawed, and the claws can be extended up to 1 foot. The tips of his toes are similarly clawed, and his legs are more heavily muscled than before, increasing his initial take off speed.
Abilities
Garra Ilover=Rain of Claws: The tips of his clawed finger break off, and fire at the enemy as he claws at the air, then regenerate. The same can be done with his clawed feet.
Acgrandar=Extend: His clawed fingertips extend, with a maximum reach of 3 feet.
Paralizar de Aullar=Paralyzing Howl: Karzan lets out an eerie howl, which paralyzes his enemy for up to 15 seconds. (If enemy has 50-above, less attack points than Karzan, they are paralyzed for 15 seconds. If enemy has 20-40 attack points lower than Karzan, they are paralyzed for 10 seconds. With only 10 points lower, or equal attack points to Karzan's 5 seconds.)
Aullar Cero=Howling Cero: Karzan releases a Cero from his mouth, while using Paralyzing Howl, rendering his enemy incapable of dodging the attack, if they are at least 20 points lower than him in attack. (Ability Mix, not Custom Cero)
Colmillos El Tierra=Fangs of the Earth: Karzan shoves his clawed fingertips into the ground, and uses an enhanced version of Acgrandar to make them attack his enemy from under ground. Range is about 10 feet.
Colmillo Bala=Fang Bala: Karzan can alter the Bala he fires in Resurrecion, condensing them and making them take on a crescent shape, allowing them to cut instead of doing impact damage.
Vasto Garra=Long Claw: Taking advantage of his armor's regenerative ability, rather than simply regrowing and extending his claws Karzan can meld together the fingers on his hands and elongate the armor into a 2.5 foot long curved blade that extends from the middle of his forearm. The armor that the blades consist of has more layers and is as strong as any Zanpaktou.
Passive Abilities:
Veloz Basa=Swift Feet: His release focuses on increasing the muscles in his legs, increasing his movement Speed by 10 points, and extending Sonido by 5 meters.
Regenerado Escudo=Regenerated Shield: Damage beneath the armor does not heal, but the hardened Hollow Skin will repair itself almost instantly.
Items:

The first Kanji is "Karu" which has many meanings, but the one used for this name is "impel".
The second Kanji is "Zen", again having multiple meanings, the one being used is "gradually advancing".
All together this can mean "He who is impelled to gradually advance".
