Espada Information and Requirements

Espada Baseline Information:

According to most documents this is what has been found out about the Espada. This information is questionable at best, and many are seeking out the truth behind these Rumored Espada.

Throughout the creation of the Arrancar there are a few that set themselves as the most powerful and most elite of all of the others. These beings that have transcended the ranks of power and authority are called the Espada. The most powerful arrancar are organized into a council of sorts known as the Espada. Numbered from 1 to 6, the espada are the equivalent in their organization as the captains of the Gotei 6, although they are grouped differently. While the Gotei 6 have different squad numbers based on their squad's specialty, the espada are numbered 1-6 based on their individual power level, with 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest. Nonetheless, weakest is a relative term. The espada are still quite powerful.

Note that attaining Espada status is very difficult: not only is the quality of your posting judged harshly, but you are also required to pass a stringent application process to show how you reached the level in which you were granted a position of power and given the number 1-6. Also note that not all current Espada will retain their position as an Espada. Those who are not will be made into Fraccion for those who remain and you will not loose any current GP and will be automatically able to apply for the position as outlined in the "requirements to apply" section. This is covered in greater detail below.

Espada Number:

You are now given a number that gives you the authority and power to command. This number also gives you access to an additional power. This power is the Master Resurreccion. This is the second release of you ressureccion. As a hollow you had normal Hollow powers, but when you shed your mask you were able to materialize a new power and this was the Ressureccion. Now that you have become one of the elite masters of the Arrancar you can now take that Ressureccion to its next level.

Master Resurreccion will become an Espada Specific ability.

Requirements to apply:

For an Arrancar to be eligible for Espada status, the applicant must have displayed exemplary posting and provide ample reason for becoming a Espada. A request is made by filling out Elite Class Rank Request and submitting it in private to a staff member who will discuss it with their colleagues. If the request is approved, the applicant will be asked to write a post that describes his or her point of being offered a position in the Espada ranks. This post will have a minimum of 2,000 words and is expected to be the very best work of the applicant to date. Subpar writing will result in rejection and being made into a Privaron. If you are accepted you will gain a 100 EP bonus for achieving a prestige class.
