Lanza

The Lanza (槍; Ransa) are Arrancar who have been fused with a strong soul that has survived the torments of hell. Through an unknown procedure done in the towers of Torre Hueca under the supervision of our Lord and his few trusted lab assistants the captured essence is forced to merges with that of the host Arrancar. Only the strongest may survive the procedure of having the two souls in one body creating a constant inner turmoil the Arrancar must learn to control and master. The captured soul itself seems to have some correlation to a deadly sin and grants the Arrancar host its innate soul abilities for as long as the host body lives or til the soul is extracted though a very painful and deadly process. The power levels of the chosen Lanza are normally equal or surpassing that of Espada so when the soul is merged with the Arrancar he/she becomes stronger in comparison, but not necessary higher in rank. The number assigned to a Lanza is merely that a number, no Lanza out rank another whether they are I or VII. The tattoo given to an Lanza is similar to that given to an Espada except it is a roman numeral. -Shousan, Lord of Hueco Mundo United
