Zankken Javan

Zanken Javan is the 90th Arrancar in Sōsuke Aizen's Arrancar Army, before being transformed into a Hollow he was originally a man named Keiji Fukushima, a member of a Yakuza group operating out of the Edogawa Special Ward.

Appearance
Zanken stands at 10" tall as something of a giant. With pure black hair that looks something in similarity to a lion's mane, instead of covering around his head however it has been pushed back and only furthers out behind him until ending in a point around waist length. His eyes are a light blue colour across dark-tanned skin.

Zanen's body is fairly buffed up and his appearance seems to want to flaunt off having muscles as indicated by his upper clothing being nothing more than a vest fashioned in the style of the Arrancar uniform - the vest is white across the most of the vest with black outlining the main details would the golden embroidery of two dragons making there climb up from the bottom of the vest to the shoulders where the heads stop - embroidered in a motion as if they are going to jointly bite Zanken's neck - the back of the vest is completely plain for whatever reason, the vest length stops just after Zankenu's chest leaving the lower part of his upper body completely revealed (probably to flaunt the muscles on his body as said above).

Zanken wears wrapped up bandages on his hands as makeshift fingerless gloves which stretch over his hands, covering his wrists and stopping a short ways up his arms. While the remains of his hollow mask sits on the left side of his chin going around to just below his ear. Although none of the teeth from the mask are present a large fang (in resemblance to a Saber-tooth Tiger's fang) reaches off of the mask coming below Zanken's chin by a few centimeters. Zanken's Hollow hole is located at the center point of his chest easily pointing out that part of his spinal cord should be missing even though it doesn't effect his physical functioning in any way.

For his lower body Zanken's garments are something most would consider unconventional, wearing armoured leggings and boots that is white with black out-linings and golden links passed through the chain mail that bears itself visible on the back of the knees of the leggings and at the crotch area - as underlay for the rest of the armour. On the back of his lower body he wears a kama following the same white and black motif with more golden embroidery this time the embroidery is in the shape of Kirin with smoke coming from it's nostrils.

Zanken is always seen standing or sitting up right, commonly with his arms crossed or his arms folded over his back with his Zanpakutou being held in between his arms and the back of his neck. When in combat Zanken always wields his Zanpakuto with his right hand regardless of which state it is in, in some cases when his Zanpakuto is in Resurreccion he will wield the halberd with both hands at the bottom end as if it is a rather-lengthy sword, he usually does this when he wishes to ensure the attack will have some range and that both his hands can be used to put force on the attack.

Personality
Zanken is something of a wild animal. Being reckless and hot headed, he is always seen with a toothy grin on his face, while he eagerly awaits the next time he gets to partake in battle. Despite being an Arrancar he does have some degree of fairness against his opponents and even in his own abilities often disregarding the fact he could absorb the power of his enemies to further his own growth as well as holding back his full strength unless he's sure his opponent has the ability to kill him in an equal standing. Even though he seems to only live for the next battle he is severely loyal to those he calls friends and will forsake his own safety to protect them - this is only made a more sturdier part of his personality by the fact he doesn't care about other opinions degrading or otherwise.

History
Born as Keiji Fukushima, Zanken was a member of a Yakuza group that operated within the Edogawa Special Ward within the Tokyo Prefecture. Life was pretty stable for the man, working as a "tax" collector for those who did business with the Yakuza. Granted brushes with law enforcement every now and again made his life dangerous, but exciting.

During one of their routine "tax collections", Keiji and his partner Toyohisa Ukita were caught by Tokyo police officers. In the ensuing gun battle Toyohisa and Keiji were gunned down. Keiji's anger filled soul at what he believed to be a life he'd had no control over transformed him into a Hollow. Keiji killed the police officer who had ended his life before being woken up to the spiritual world where he began to hunt souls. Things quickly began to go down hill when he was found by Shinigami, robe clad swordsmen with much more power than himself.

Keiji was able to escape the beings that tried to cut him down, and continued growing in power by consuming souls for over a month. He was found again, but this time he was able to defeat his opponents, although he was left in a severely damaged state afterward. It was at this time that Keiji met another Hollow, one which consumed him as lunch. But his life didn't simply end there. Keiji's mind became part of an amalgam of Hollows known as a Gillian-class Hollow, where tens, if not hundreds, of Hollows tried to become the dominant mind of a stronger physical body than they alone possessed. Keiji was the victor, but at the cost of most of his identity. Motivated only by an unusual desire to devour fellow Hollows, Keiji eventually became an Adjuchas-class Hollow.

He continued on his path of devouring fellow Hollows, before leaving the Forest of Menos for the desert above. He travelled for what seemed like years, finally happening on another Hollow that he attacked in a savage attempt to sustain himself. This Hollow turned out to be a fellow Adjuchas and the two beings nearly slaughtered each other in an attempt to devour the other. In the last moment Keiji gained the upper hand, allowing him a victory. It was then that he found an outside observer who offered him a chance at even greater power. That outsider, was Sosuke Aizen.

As an Arrancar the collective of Hollows that made up his mind became one solidified personality. While Keiji Fukushima was the dominant mind, he had lost his identity to gain such a position. The combined mind became the being known as Zanken Javan.

He was stronger than most other Arrancar in this particular field and a single punch could tear apart entire rooms of Las Noches as shown in his battle with Sierra Alvarado, the same fight also showcased his ability to create tremors or shockwaves of air with his attacks by the sheer force carried by his arms and legs.


 * A master in its use, Zanken could form Cero's almost instantaneously and then fire them at his target for devastating effect, he utilized his Cero by clenching his fist as if gripping something and then throwing the Cero once it had formed in his grasp where it would immediately explode into a beam of energy. His Cero was golden in colour and predominatly "thrown" with his right hand.


 * Is the name applied to the ability used by Arrancar to harden their spiritual pressure and then fire it with speed to match or surpass bullets. Zanken utilized the Bala the same way he did his fists, to prove that someone was capable of taking his Cero in a fight of equals. His Bala was of an orange tint similar to the colour of the Cero utilized by Franceska Mila Rose.


 * Compressed spiritual power that acts as a natural armour for Arrancar, Zanken's was average in quality though it was noted that he could have made it stronger given the strength of his spiritual power.


 * The ability used by Arrancar in order to detect Spiritual Pressure, Zanken would tab the hilt of his zanpakutō to the ground where-in a blue glowing line would extend out towards a targetted area before returning the information back to Zanken. This allowed him the precision of the but made him unable to use the sonar-like version that others used.
