Name: Claire McMorgan
Aliases/ Nicknames: Mother [Everyone knows her as Mother. No one knows her real name.]
Age: 237/13
Seat: Primera Espada
Height: 4'6''
Weight: 96lb
Personality: Mother is cruel, sadistic, and totally and completely evil. She both literally and figuratively has no heart, often surprising others with how little she cares for her suboordinates. Using the ability her zanpakutou gives her when it is unreleased, she can see what people are most ashamed of and uses it to her advantage.
Theme Song(s): Hurt Me -- Kerli
Physical Description: Mother has short cropped blue hair and blood red eyes. She has dark skin and a frown on her face most of the time. Her uniform is a small sleeveless dress with black edges. She wears a white collar around her neck with a black tie as well.
Zanpakuto Name and Sealed Description:(Mother usually has her minions do the dirty work, so her powers, other than the one her zanpakutou gives her in its sealed form, are usually unknown.)
Verguenza [Shame] is longer than the usual katana, with a single-edged blade, though the sharp edge is rough. The hilt is wrapped in black cloth, with a star-shaped hilt.
Resurrección (Returning Blade) "Haga que se ahogan en pesar, Verguenza!" [Make them drown in regret, Verguenza!]
When Mother enters her Resurreccion, her outfit becomes notably skimpier, and she sprouts demon wings and tail. she weilds an oversized gun that she swings around easily with one hand.
-Release Attacks
| Cañón del fuego | A massive fireball shoots from the gun, burning and killing the landscape where it is aimed, whether it hits the opponent or not. It is very deadly, if Mother puts enough energy into it.
| Túnel de la llama | From the gun fires a long pillar of flame, scorching the air it travels through and destroying anything in its path. Can be used similarly to a sword, Mother can swing around the finished pillar like a blade.
| Ataúd ardiente | A fireball fires from the barrel of the gun, similarly to Mother's weakest attack, but this attack almost never misses. There has only been one occasion where it has, and that person still died by Mother's hand. The fireball engulfs the oppenent and forms into a coffin-like shape, and when Mother clenches her free hand, the fire collapses on itself, burning and crushing the bones of the enemy.
Resureccion : Segunda Etapa (Returning Blade: Second Stage) "Condúzcalos en locura con culpabilidad, Verguenza!" [Drive them into insanity with guilt, Verguenza!] As Mother enters her Segunda Etapa, her formerly skimpy outfit transforms into that of a fancy kimono, her hair is once again let down, with her trademark red ribbon in her hair. She appears to be wearing a strapless white dress under the kimono, which seems to at more as a robe. The fabric of the kimono's sleeves are white, but the body and collar are black.
Segunda Etapa Abilities/Attacks As she enters her Segunda Etapa, a ring of twelve swords appears behind her, and she can use these at will. She can throw them with alarming accuracy and wield them like blades, but they can also act as doppelgangers, transforming into Mother look-alikes in order to confuse and/or dispose of the enemy. The amount of swords is unlimited, as she uses one she can generate another in its place. Within this form, Mother possesses overwhelming spiritual power, her already immense reiatsu increasing by three hundred percent. It is enough to kill many beings, only extremely powerful Arrancar and Shinigami can withstand it, even fewer can even stand in close proximity with it.
| Lluvia de la lámina | All the blades behind her turn, pinpointing the enemy, and begin to fire. As each blast of swords fires off, another appears and follow the same pattern. This can happen three to five times, until the swords cease fire and remeain in a ring at Mother's back.
| Borde llameante | She chooses two swords, holding them to her sides, and both catch fire and begin to burn with an immense heat. From this point, Mother can wield the flamings blades, or she can thrw them as projectiles. the flame is almost impossible to put out, and will burn an entire town if it misses its mark.
| Muerte negra | A black cord seems to run between the hilt of each of the twelve blades at her back, then, as the ring completes, it fills in to create a black disc that seems to be an abyss of nothingness if stared into. Mother then takes the disc and flings it at the opponent with a 99.9% surefire accuracy, and the blackness engulfs the opponent, crushing their organs, suffocating them and crushing them until they are killed.
Hougudo
Hougudo #1: Fumificus
Type: Support
Element: N/A
Range: 25 feet in a sphere
Description: The first of the Hougudo spells is a support spell. Upon completion of the chant, the user throws out their hands. A large amount of smoke then billows forth, covering the area in a dense smokescreen. As it is effective on the user as well, this is primarily suggested as a distraction before escape. As an incredibly low-level spell, this smoke is neither particularly hazardous nor likely to stay around for long, and even a small blast can clear it away.
Incantation: Smoke and smog, blow forth and blind my enemies. Hougudo #1: Fumificus!
Hougudo #7: Exuro
Type: Offense
Element: Fire
Range: 30 feet
Description: Hougudo #7 is a low level power, considered more of a practice technique than anything else. The spell summons a small blaze in the palm of the user's hand; which is then thrown at an opponent.
Incantation: Ever-burning fire of purification, Lord of Destruction and Sign of Rebirth, gather in my hand and strike my enemy! Hougudo #7: Exuro!
Hougudo #17: Dios Tukos
Type: Offensive
Element: Lightning
Range: 20 feet out, up to 50 feet below
Description: A more serious spell than the single-digit jokes, Dios Tukos is a heavy hit that is most popular after a series of physical strikes on the enemy, becoming a finishing blow. Usually chanted while fighting, not standing still, at the end of the incantation the user throws their arm down and shoots a large, powerful blast of lightning at their foe. Recommended for use in mid-air combat.
Incantation: Come forth from the void, O Thunder, and cut down my enemy! Hougudo #17: Dios Tukos!
Name: Hougudo #21: Ventī Vertentis
Type: Defensive
Element: Wind
Range: Twelve feet around self (closer is untouched).
Description: A moderately powerful defensive spell that creates a vortex of winds around the user designed to protect them for ten seconds or so while they take a short breather and gather their energy. Its power could make it a higher level spell, but due to the short duration, it has been considered a lower-level spell than it might otherwise be.
Incantation: O turning storm of spring, bestow your aerial protection upon us! Hougudo #21: Ventī Vertentis!
Name: Hougudo #27: Nebula Hypnōtica
Type: Support
Element: N/A
Range: 30 feet around caster
Description: Sleep-inducing Fog is a Hougudo spell that does exactly what it sounds like it should. Upon completion of the chant, a fog is unleashed that has the potential to put others in the area to sleep. However, if the target(s) is higher in rank, level, or whatever is equivalent, they can shake off the effects. Otherwise, they will be subject to falling asleep for either their next Gaian post or the next hit on them. Can be used on a single target or small group of targets once every four posts
Incantation: Atmosphere and Water become a Fog. Bring a dreamless sleep upon thy foe! Hougudo #27: Nebula Hypnōtica!
Name: Hougudo #41: Gelmorsus Adhaero
Type: Offensive
Element: Ice
Range: 60 feet
Description: Gelmorsus Adhaero, the Frostbite Cleaver is a moderately powerful ice-type spell, spoken easily and moderately powerful. Upon completion of the incantation, the user clasps their hands together and extends their index and middle fingers, to form a vaguely gun-like shape. They will then slash somehow, the direction is usually irrelevant, sending out a crescent-moon shaped blast of ice along the diagonal chosen, the size depending on how large of an arc the user made. The "outside" of the moon is the leading edge. Generally recommended for targets slower than you who are more likely to be hit.
Incantation: Crux of the Frost King, shoot to join and ally against hostility. Form a falcon of ice to strike thy foe. Hougudo #41:Gelmorsus Adhaero!
Name: Hougudo #45: Crystallizātiō Tellustris
Type: Offensive
Element: Earth
Range: 75 feet
Description: This spell can only be used while on or above solid ground. Ice, water, lava, etc. doesn't work. Crystallizātiō Tellustris is a neat spell that will raise seven stalagmites from the ground with no warning in a one hundred foot radius around the caster. This would not be an issue except for the fact that these stalagmites come up one at a time, directly under the target, forcing them to do some fancy footwork in order to avoid getting impaled. Most acrobatic people can handle this spell fairly well, though if used in succession, or by two people on one target, it could be quite a headache.
Incantation: The madness of earth, forge to break out itself in this cry. Seven spikes, rise from the ground! Hougudo #45: Crystallizātiō Tellustris!
Hougudo #68: Atrum Vesica
Type: Offensive
Element: Dark
Range: 50 feet
Description: Atrum Vesica is an offensive Hougudo spell that summons 4 dagger-like formations of dark energy around a target. These daggers will then stab inwards toward the target at 1.25x the user's SP.
Incantation: The governor of underworld, lend unto me your power! Hougudo #68: Atrum Vesica!
Hougudo #84: Prodigiosus Renovatio
Type: Healing
Element: Light
Range: Self or Target by Touch
Description: One of the most powerful healing spells, Prodigiosus Renovatio is a spell that can completely heal a target, changing the wounds to nothing and getting rid of all potions, poisons, and other effects that might be in the system. It does, however, take 25-50 percent of the user's energy to cast. Most generally used when a fight is over to prevent death. It can only be used once while actually in a battle, if it's to be used again the person must get out of the battle.
Incantation: Holy Ones, hear my cry to raise and rejuvenate my friend. Blessed Ones, once more create a miracle before my eyes! Hougudo #84: Prodigiosus Renovatio!
Hougudo #87: Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns
Type: Offensive
Element: Electricity/Wind
Range: 100 feet
Description: One of the more irritatingly powerful Hougudo, Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns is a mighty spell that unleashes a torrential blast of electric and wind power at the opponent. It is most likely to blast apart even a group of targets, as its dual-elemental nature also gifts it the power to move at twice the caster's speed.
Incantation: Come, spirits of air and lightning, Oh southern storm which blows with torrents! Bolts of lightning to cut through the night, spring forth and strike my enemy! Hougudo #87: Jovis Tempestās Fulguriēns!
Skills:
| Visión del alma | This is Verguenza's dormant ability. It allows Mother to see into the deep reccesses of a person's mind, and drag out whatever dark secrets are kept there. Mother uses this to her advantage and breaks the spirit of her enemies, bending them to her will.
Other Abilities:
| Bala | (虚弾 (バラ), bara; Spanish for "Bullet", Japanese for "Hollow Bullet") Bala is an Arrancar alternative to Cero. The technique hardens the user's Spiritual Pressure and fires it like a bullet. Although it is weaker than a normal Cero, it moves about twenty times faster and can be fired at a much higher rate but the damage is much the same. Stronger Arrancar can also fire a more powerful Bala, while retaining its twenty-fold speed.
| Cero | (虚閃 (セロ), sero; Spanish for "Zero", Japanese for "Hollow Flash", "Doom Blast" in the Viz translation) are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various body parts, such as mouth, tongue, hand or fingers. Only Gillians, Adjuchas, Arrancar, and the Vizards have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently. Various Arrancar and Hollow characters display variants of the technique, such as the Espada-exclusive Gran Rey Cero, the Cero Oscuras that Ulquiorra Cifer can use only in his released form, as well as the Cero Sincrético performed by Pesche Guatische and Dondochakka Bilstin.
| Garganta | (黒腔 (ガルガンタ), garuganta; Spanish for "Throat", Japanese for "Black Cavity") is how Arrancar and Menos-class Hollows move to and from Hueco Mundo. Kaname Tōsen and Kisuke Urahara have also demonstrated the ability to use the technique. It literally tears open the dimensional fabric separating the worlds, revealing a tunnel of whirling, torrential energy that must be focused and solidified to create a discernible pathway.
| Hierro | (鋼皮 (イエロ), iero; Spanish for "Iron", Japanese for "Steel Skin") refers to the hardened skin of the Arrancar, which is a result of their compressed spiritual power. While their skin is strong enough to block even released Zanpakutō bare-handed, it is by no means impenetrable. Stronger Arrancar have proportionally stronger skin than usual.
| Negación | (反膜 (ネガシオン), negashion; Spanish for "Negation", Japanese for "Anti-Membrane") are energy fields are used to rescue fellow Hollows. Only the Gillian-class Menos have shown the ability to use it. Negación fields surround a target in a square beam of light that isolates the target from the dimension they are currently in, making it impossible to harm them. The field then pulls the target towards the Menos that created the field. Espada have a special cube-shaped device called Caja Negación (反膜の匪 (カハ・ネガシオン), Spanish for "Negation Box", Japanese for "Anti-Membrane of Negation") meant to simulate Negación fields, which are used to punish their subordinates if necessary. The cube, when used on a subject, traps them in an alternate dimension from which there is no escape; however, this assumes it is being used as intended. More-powerful Arrancar, namely the Espada themselves, can escape given enough time.
| Pesquisa | (探査回路 (ペスキス), pesukisa; Spanish for "Inquiry", Japanese for "Probe Circuit") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami ability to sense Spiritual Pressure. It functions very-similarly to sonar.
| Sonído | (響転 (ソニード), sonīdo; Spanish for "Sound", Japanese for "Transfer Effects") is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami Flash Steps and the Quincy Hirenkyaku; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonído is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound caused by Flash Steps.
