[IC]≪Attitude≫

[C]Xophett harbors a very curious and regal personality, which is portrayed through him via vague, mysterious veil that exudes from his ever so inconspicuous being. Whilst mostly coming off as polite, and rather tame in comparison to the majority of other hollows, Xophett carries an immense taste for battle, along with a vibe of creepiness which can easily feel off putting to most individuals. This is mainly due to his very peculiar design and his tendencies to speak rather slow and calmly in his naturally deep toned voice, even under high pressure situations, never raising his voice or showing any verbal haste with his words. Xophett can be easily summed up as a character who aligns moreso on the spectrum of Chaotic neutral opposed to any true semblance of good, evil. Not really being all that interested in either humans, quincies or shinigami, and instead seems to be fully invested in his fellow hollows. As Xophett views himself as a true god figure amongst other hollows, believing that he is ultimately what all hollows should aspire to be. Because of this, his goal in life takes shape of wanting to create and or find hollow rivals for himself, companions in which he can jest with on equal terms. As he views complete and utter superiority over the rest of his race to be a fairly unfulfilling existence. When Xophett reawakened in the new age of Hueco Munro which was lead by the leadership of Harribel, Xophett was displeased and rejected the current state of heuco mundo, as it stayed away from its natural wild environment, abandoning it for a more civilized society. Xophett hated this, as a peaceful hueco mundo in his eyes would result in a weaker Hueco Mundo, meaning that he would never get the rival he so craved. Xophett believed it to be best for Hueco mundo to remain a lawless dog eat dog environment where only the most powerful, ambitious and daring hollows survived as that setting is what ultimately gave birth to the 3 primordial titans of the hollow world, Himself, alongside Barrgarn, and Ikomikidomoe, the only two hollows that Xophett ever truly considered his equals. Xophett’s desire to search for a worthy hollow opponent is a mindset very similar to that akin to Unohana’s own, who created the Kenpachi tradition which involves the current kenpachi having to be killed by another for the title to be passed on and become the new kenpachi, thus ensuring that with every generation, the holder of the title would only get stronger and stronger. Xophett holds a similar principle but on a much larger scale. In comparison, Xophett is very much the “Kenpachi” figure of the Hollows in a sense that he simply wants to fight worthy opponents, something that is scarce to find amongst his own kind. So try the idea of hollows becoming more peaceful and civilized, horrified him, as it means there is no hope for another great hollow to come to be so satiate him as his great desire for battle.

[bciu]Life as a human

[C]Xophett in his years as a human was born in ancient Egypt to parents of high nobility amongst his culture. However whilst his mother was still pregnant with him, she was mysteriously attacked by an unknown presence, luckily surviving the encounter to eventually give birth to her first and only child. This was due to her unborn son having a soul king fragment in his soul from conception, and having a very potent amount of reiatsu even from birth. This distinct reiatsu is what drove hollows far and wide into lands untouched by them to seek out this child, causing small to decent sized mayhem in his ancient city. Due to his mother being attacked by a hollow and surviving the encounter, the child was gifted, or moreso cursed with power that would begin the catalyst for his Fullbring, however, moreso, the attack of the hollow caused a distinct birth defect on the child, a loss of pigment in his skin which made the baby come out with skin of near ghostly white complexion.

[c]Because the child was born with unique white colored skin, along with the fact that his birth coincidentally coincided with the sudden appearance of hollows which started a chain of unknown attacks on citizens around the area. The people of his culture viewed the child as an ill omen, a curse placed upon them, as the arrival of the child seemingly signaled doom for their people, proposing that the child should be killed. The parents of course refused these accusations and pleaded for their child’s like to the pinnacle of their society, the Pharaoh himself. They managed to convince their god-king of sparing their child, with the cost however that he must prove his worth. The child was then ultimately taken from his family at birth and raised brutally as a warrior to combat the supernatural forces that now plagued his people. Throughout the years he trained and grew in skill. Whilst he did, he grew a close friendship with the Pharaoh’s son who took interest in the child when they were kids and closely looked after his training. Despite not yet unlocking his Fullbring, his latent reiatsu easily allowed him to accel in his training and eventually become the best warrior his people had ever known.

[c]Gaining some semblance of spiritual awareness, the now warrior was able to feel and somewhat see hollows, and used his skills to hunt them and safeguard his people from their malice. The people of his culture went from despising a child whom they believed to be a curse on their land, to praising a proficient warrior who they labeled as a savior. Whilst there was still some individuals who could not let go of their hate, their thoughts were silenced by fear to dare speak badly of a savior aloud. The warrior was at the top of his life, loved and adored by most, and to top it all off, his best friend, the son of the pharaoh was soon going to partake in the crowning ceremony in the royal temple which would bestow the title of pharaoh from his father onto his son, as the father had grown quite frail over the years, seeing his son as ready to take the mantle. As his best friend, the warrior accompanied the ceremony and watched as his childhood friend became crowned as the new pharaoh. Tis was a happy day, until date reared it’s upcoming horror. Unbeknownst to everyone, a large hollow attack unlike any beforehand befell the temple. 10s of them scrambled around attacking all they could find in sight, the warrior was horrified at the sudden attack, feeling incompetent that he let his guard down so much to not see or sense such an onslaught approaching.

[c]He tried his best to protect those he could, but it was for naught. The warrior was more than proficient to take down a single hollow whilst prepared, but unprepared against 10s? He simply was no match. The odds against him, he opted to protect what members of the royal family he could. As the onslaught ended and the dust finally settled. The warrior was able to save his best friend, the new pharaoh, however a horrifying revelation revealed that no other member of the royal family had survived. The pharaoh’s father, mother, and all related family were all desecrated by the monsters, their precious lives lost right under the Warriors nose. As word of the event spread throughout the city, the citizens stood in uproar, seeing the warrior as to blame for the death of the royal family, some even believing that he purposely lead the monsters to the ceremony in attempts to wipe out the royal family. Regardless of their reasonings, all the love the warrior had built up was gone, everything and everyone demanded his death. The warrior seeked forgiveness in his best friend, pleading to him that he did not do this to his family, he would never.

[c]However, the pharaoh, struck with grief and pain over the loss of his family, confused and scared as to what to do. The warrior meant a lot to him, they were friends for so long. In his heart he knew he didn’t mean this to happen, but it was clear as day that regardless of how strong he was, or how good his intentions, as long as he lived, their people would be attacked and people would only get hurt. So, it was with a heavy heart that the pharaoh looked past the warrior’s pleads and issued his execution for the greater good of his people, regardless of how horrible it made him feel. With this decision, the royal guards were sent and ordered to kill the warrior. Emotionally broken and already wounded, he tried to fight back to the best of his nigh super human ability, however after multiple spear wounds, daggers in the back and beatings from nearly every aspect of his body, he finally was brought down to his apparent death. After being “killed” the pharaoh had arranged for a ceremonial burial to be made, where the warrior was to be wrapped up and sunken in the sand pits as an offering to the gods, in hopes that his body returning to the earth will lift their curse. The warrior’s body was wrapped in rags and was carried out into the desert escorted by a convoy of guards and nobles as witness, and of course, the pharaoh himself. As his body was being transported, a guard who was carrying his body noticed that parts of his wrapped up corpse would move ever so slightly now and again, proving to be a bit suspicious, however a thought overlooked as the guard did not believe he wasn’t dead due to the immense injuries the warrior sustained.

[c]As they reached the sand pits. His body was hoisted and released into the pit, slowly sinking and the guards, nobles and Pharaoh alike watched its descent into its somber grave. However as it sunk, the wrappings began to move even more so, signaling what seemed to be a physical struggle, at this point everyone could see it and was in disbelief at what they were witnessing. Out of sheer perseverance, the bandages tied apart, revealing the warrior was still alive, thriving in agony and pain and eventually horror as he realized what was happening to him. The spectators, horrified themselves, saw this miraculous revival as a sign of the warrior being a monster himself, as no normal man would survive such a thing. As he struggled and attempted to escape. He looked out to the crowd and pleaded one last time for his friend to help him. Alas, the pharaoh, unable to go back on his actions, did not lift a finger, and simply watched, holding back tears as his friend sunk, by waist, by chest, by neck, by head, until all that remained was a single hand, still reaching out to him, which too, was eventually swallowed back into the earth.

[c]As the warrior was now submerged, air leaving him, surrounding only by darkness. In his most low moment, he clings to the sand around him, fueled by his anguish, his despair. And with it, his Fullbring awoken mere moments before his death. As any full bring awakening would, a large concentrated explosion ensued underneath the ground, and with it, the already wounded warrior perished, the explosion that would awaken his fullbring destroyed him, and with him, cracked the land around him, causing the sand around him. The ground where the sand pits laid crackled in tremors, creating violent earth quakes that reached all throughout the city.

[c]The sand shifting spastically, causing unfathomable chaos. The entire foundation of the city, fragmented and before anyone could dare escape, everything and everyone was steadily swallowed by the sand until nothing remained. Any semblance of the ancient city was now lost to time, buried, along with the warrior. However this was not the end of his story. The warrior was overcome with grief and pain from both his murder and means of betrayal from his once loyal friend, as well as accidentally causing ruin and the death of his home and people. His soul remained in the world of the living, wandering the vast deserts where his people once’s lived, where he once’s roamed and protected what he cared for. Eventually, as years progressed, the immense anguish consumed his heart, confirming his fate as his soul descended into madness, and turned him into a hollow, dragging his very spirit into the depths of Hueco Mundo.

[ucib]Life as a hollow:

[c]And thus marks the birth of Xophett Xophobos. A hollow born in the ancient days of humanity. As he progressed, Xophett as a hollow began to experiment with his abilities that he achieved upon his death as a human, whilst its unknown what his full ring would of been in life, in death, he grew a power affiliated with sand and control of it over any domain. Whether or not if this is a coincidence of his bitter end in life by burying himself and his people into a desert is unknown, at most, it hints as to what perhaps his fullbring may have been. Over the course of decades, rising high in prominence as a monstrously powerful hollow. Through his time in Hueco Mundo, Xophett grew to see himself as a god-figure in the world of hollows. Due to his great power, Xophett developed a custom of tradition.

[c]He would not only test his strength but to test the strength of hollows around him by going under a hibernation state by entombing himself deep in the desert of Hueco Mundo and sleeping for 10 thousand years before reawakening and going out on a venture to fight the strongest hollows, gauging their strength and ensure that the hollows who stand at the top of the current generation is stronger than the last. This tradition led to Xophett facing off against both Barragarn and Ikomikidomoe plenty of times before in the vast past of Hueco Mundo, eventually viewing them as the two strongest hollows to ever live outside of himself and being impressed by their status as the only 2 hollows to ever be able to legitimately challenge him in battle.

[ciub]Current day:(involves events from SAFWY)

[c]100-200 years before the events of present day during the events of the 8th kenpachi, Azashiro’s  initial rise to prominence. His main goal being to eradicate all hollows in existence to fulfill his distain for them after seeing his entirely family butchered by them in his childhood. After Azashiro slayed the 7th kenpachi and settled with his new captain position, Azashiro used his perks as a captain to travel to Hueco Mundo in attempts to directly slaughter all hollows in Hueco Mundo by fusing with the realm and using it to slaughter all life in sight. However, unbeknownst to him, by fusing his reiatsu with the land, and by direct affiliation, the sand of Hueco Mundo, Azashiro’s influence disturbed Xophett’s slumber which was already near the end of its cycle.

[c]However Xophett could not ignore the strange energy that was seeping through the land he layed dormant in. So, against his preference, Xophett arose from his traditional slumber and confronted Azashiro who was making light work of any hollows around. Xophett faced off against Azashiro and the two had a small dialogue, mostly Xophett proclaiming that his escapade is causing ruckus that is quite annoying to sleep through, with Azashiro having no intentions on listening to what a hollow had to say or it’s comfort. Azashiro tried to use the sands of the land to attack Xophett, only to be surprised by the fact that the sands he controlled were being resisted by Xophett’s own fullbring abilities to be able to control them all well. They proceeded to have a short skirmish, trading control over the terrain until Xophett had enough indulging their tug of war and used his control over sand to forcibly subdue the land around them to remain still, ceasing anyone’s control over them.

[c]Without his advantage of fusing with the world, Azashiro went to his alternative, which was to simply fuse with Xophett’s reiatsu and use it to rupture Xophett from the inside. However this trick also failed, as no matter how many times Azashiro tore Xophett’s body from the inside, his potent high speed regeneration always healed him back without so much as loosing his footing. Once again shocking Azashiro as this hollow seemingly by passed the only tools he’s ever needed to win a battle. With his abilities seemingly negated or useless against such an enemy, a helpless Azashiro was confronted by Xophett who had created and drawn his blade compromised of sand and held it at Azashiro, signaling his apparent defeat. As they faced off they once again exchanged a few words, Xophett complementing Azashiro for his strength, saying that if they were in any other location, he may of been at an extreme disadvantage, as his ability compares to what he could do in Hueco Mundo.

[c]Azashiro did not fancy or care for the praises of Xophett and simply expressed his distain for hollows, and how he will kill them all under any means necessary. Xophett hears his words with mild interest and is seemingly humored by his notion and plays along with it. Xophett states to Azashiro that if he truly wishes to kill all hollows, then why is he here? Hollows are born from humans, and as long as humans exist, hollows will as well. These words hit Azashiro, allowing him to notice such a big insight in his plan which was before blinded by his eagerness. He understands now that the hollows in Hueco Mundo are simply half the issue and that he needs to target humans first before dealing with hollows. Xophett sees the potential in Azashiro and withdraws his blade, believing that with proper training, and without such over reliance on his abilities, he will be potentially a formidable opponent in the future when he wakes up on schedule.

[c]Because of this, Xophett spares his life and allows him to leave Hueco Mundo, hoping that he will one day return even stronger to fufill his ambitions, and will return to face Xophet. These events are what leads to Azashiro returning to the soul society and imposing his idea of using his ability to convert humans to beings that are incapable of becoming hollows by forcing evil out of their hearts by fusing with them. This leads to Azashiro being outted by soul society and being threatened by the arrival of even the 0 division to apprehend him. And thus the events of SAFWY play out as normal. Xophett goes back to sleep, however due to his short premature awakening against Azashiro, his sleep cycle was slightly thrown out of wack which lead to Xophett oversleeping past the events of the arrancar arc where his sleep cycle had planned for him to reawaken, however he slept through to the end of the thousand year blood war, being rudely awoken once again by the extreme effects on the world which was caused by the chaotic, near fusion of the realms via Yhwach during his final moments before being slain by ichigo.

[c]This had awoken Xophett once more, and now is permanently awake for his 1,000 year period before going back to sleep for another 10,000. During present day(after the end of the TYBW, but before the end of the manga time skip or the hell arc), A newly remerged Xophett arose in a new Hueco Mundo which was quite different than ones in previous generations. This generation was a lot more…formal, less like a wild jungle and more like a society of sorts, a clear change of presence however Xophett didn’t mind much. However his curiosity truly peaked when he encountered arrancars. A near Human like evolution of hollow he had never quite seen before, challenging numerous of these arrancars to battle to judge their abilities, finding himself rather mildly entertained. This eventually lead to Xophett confronting Harriebl, who was the new ruler/queen of Hueco Mundo, and by proxy, was the strongest hollow around. Xophett questioned her on the absence of Barragarn, inwhich Harribel proceeded to explain to Xophett that the former king had died in battle against soul reapers.

[c]This fact has shocked Xophett as he held Barragarn in high regard and wondered if the Shinigami that he faught a few hundred years ago was the one that slayed Barragarn. In any case, he then asks her about Ikomikidomoe, inwhich Hallibel replied with confusion, never having heard that name before, making Xophett assume that he too much of perished at one point in time, making him rather disappointed. He ultimately ended up challenging her to battle which she originally refused, however Xophett persuaded her by questioning her integrity as queen.

[IMG=V4O]

[c]Whilst in battle, Xophett with relative ease managed to beat Harribel in battle and saw her power as too low to be worthy of the title of queen, and judging this new era of hollows as a failure if she was the strongest they had to offer. Thus, he took it upon himself to rob her of her title and throne as queen and make himself the substitute king of Hueco Mundo until a hollow he feels worthy of the title should arrive and prove himself.

[C]Xophett uses single/dual wielded blades which are visually akin to traditional Egyptian kopesh swords which are curved, near hook like blades. These swords are crafted from sand which is molded/hardened/sharpened by his reiatsu.

[CI]<<Techniques/abilites>>

[IC]Hollow Abilities:

[C]These are abilities Xophett acquired that are due to his hollow being. I’m sure we all know what hollows can do generally so there’s no point individually explaining everything here.

[ci]Unique Hollow Abilities:

[c]•Super high speed regeneration•

[C]An ability not seen by many of the more powerful hollows. As stated by Ulquiorra, most arrancar willingly gave up this ability for more power. Normal high speed regeneration allows for hollows to rapidly heal from damage, as long as said damage didn’t involve the head or vital organs which could not be healed in such a manner. However Xophett has an even more potent variant of his ability which grants him the perks of being able to high speed regenerate from practically any injury using sand. As long as he has access to sand, he can use it to reconstruct bodily wounds he may bare, even ones that damage vital areas. This special sand like regeneration makes him practically nigh unkillable in Hueco Mundo, and generally hard to kill elsewhere due to always having a fair quantity of sand inside of him.

[ci]•Complete sand Manipulation•

[c]This ability allows Xophett to manipulate sand and bend it to his will. This can take shape in the form of controlling sand masses, or forming sand into objects such as his signature blades. Due to Hueco Mundo being primarily a ashen desert, these abilities makes Xophett a near god-like figure in this environment, being able to essentially control the world around him and bend it to his will. However in places other than Hueco Mundo that lack sand, Xophett’s ability in this regard is much less potent. He makes up for this however by consuming large amounts of sand from Hueco Mundo and storing it inside himself if he ever was to leave it. This way he can regurgitate large amounts of sand from his body using his reiatsu to create some advantage of his ability, however it’s clearly best utilized in Hueco Mundo where his powers makes him a nigh-god like figure amongst fellow hollows.

[ci]Signature Techniques:

[c]•Sand Swords•

[c]Xophett uses his control over sand to imbue his reiatsu into sand and uses it to form a kopesh like blade from it, hardening and sharpening it with his reiatsu to where it becomes a functional blade.

[c]•Self-Cero•

[c]Xophett uses his insane high speed regeneration to new extremes with this cero technique. This ability involves Xophett conjuring a cero with his mouth like any hollow could, however instead of firing it, he instead swallows the cero and passively adds even more power to it inside himself over time. He then can willingly ignite the cero inside himself, blowing himself up in order to get the jump on an unsuspecting opponent. Dealing a face to face direct hit to his opponent with an overcharged cero. This move typically ends up decimating Xophett’s body to pieces, making it so it takes awhile for him to reform from such a blast. This technique also has a vulnerability where whilst he has the cero consumed, any significant amounts of damage taken has a chance to forcibly detonate the cero, meaning whilst consumed, Xophett must avoid taking as much damage as possible to optimize his chances at getting a critical hit on his opponent.

[bci]Weaknesses:

[ci]•Refusal to kill worthy opponents•

[c]Due to his self imposed role of god of Hueco Mundo, Xophett has grown accustomed to simply testing his opponents, fighting them until he has been satisfied with their power and then leaving them be. As stated beforehand in the wiki, Xophett will only fight those who he sees worth in, and won’t bother to lift a finger towards any less, showing some semblance of a very high moral code in a world where killing thy enemy is practically to be expected. He will only kill those who actively show little to no promise and actively provokes him. This can be a massive weakness in hindsight as he never fights with intent to kill, thus, even when fighting seriously, he holds back against worthwhile opponents to avoid potentially killing them and wasting their future potential, which could easily lead to trouble.

[ci]•His zombie-like durability•

[c]A big theme around Xophett is his highly potent regeneration which is a crutch as to how he has survived for so long along side his extraordinary abilities of sand manipulation. However it is worth mentioning that Xophett, albeit being strong, is quite a glass canon almost(His Heirro is pretty crappy lol), essentially meaning that he takes damage rather easily, whether it be from sword slashes or blunt force. Because of his unique regenerative abilities, he often doesn’t care about his bodily condition and opts to take blows in close quarters opposed to dodging, which he can take advantage from in numerous ways, but is a double edged sword as such carelessness can easily lead to more trouble.

[ci]•Water and Fire•

[c]With sand being sand, any enemy who can utilize water abilites can prove to be a good counter for Xophett as water makes sand crumbly and brittle, making it harder to control, weakening any potential constructs or use of its manipulation. The same rules pretty much apply to fire. As high concentrated heat when applied to sand can harden and brittle it by turning it into glass. These two elements in the hands of a competent user can be detrimental to a Xophett who is outside of Hueco Mundo and has to fight off of limited sand. However in Hueco Mundo, Xophett can handle these weaknesses a lot better due to the sheer abundance of sand at his disposal.

[C]Anytime post TYBW or 10,000+ year periods prior to the main story.(can be worked around for specifics)

[CI]<<inspiration>>

[C]visually he is inspired from Exodia the forbidden one.

[ci]<<Powers>>

[c]His ability to manipulate sand is very akin to Gaara’s abilities from naruto or sandman from Marvel. although they weren’t exactly an inspiration.

[ci]<<Hollow Mask>>

[c]Xophett’s hollow mask is reminiscent of his traditional Egyptian headdress he wore as a warrior in life.

[ci]<<Azashiro>>

[c]Due to Barragarn and Ikomikidomoe both being gone, Azashiro is the only being whose fate remains unknown to Xophett who he knows, has the power to potentially give him an entertaining battle. And is still virtually waiting for him to return. Even more so it is also fun consideration to think that Azashiro and Xophett in some ways we’re at one time both the “kenpachi” figure for their respective factions.

[ci]<<Hibernation>>

[c]Sleeps every 10,000 years and stays awake for 1,000. Thus repeating.

[ci]<<Hollow evolution>>

[c]Very similar to Barragarn and Ikomikidomoe, Xophett is a primordial hollow who lies in a class of hollow that is something ancient, which lies above that of a normal vasto lorde.

[ci]<<Ideology>>

[c]Xophett as a character is meant to ultimately represent the embodiment of how old hollow society functioned before the espada/arrancar’s organized its society. As the god of Hueco Mundo, he actively wants hollows to become stronger so that once day a new rival can rise. Despite the fact that Arrancars in general are stronger than normal hollows, they also are more human than hollows and thus lack the innate and nearly primal desire to achieve more power. And because of this, the new generation of Hueco Mundo is effectively stifled in power as the ones leading aren’t as ambitious and are more concerned about peace. This disappoints Xophett as arrancar or not, this kind of environment would lead to weaker and weaker hollows. Something he dreads. Because of this, Xophett carries a distain for arrancars, viewing them as an evolutionary dead end for hollows and generally inferior. Basically, he’s immensely racist against arrancars lol. However, Xophett doesn’t see all arrancars as completely irredeemable. He keeps Rudbornn around as essentially his right hand man, and is rather interested in Grimmjow and sees him as the only arrancar to still have his drive and motivation to become the strongest. Thus, has much faith in grimmjow, seeing him as the best potential canadate for king, although he has a long way to go before he can prove himself worthy of such.

[Ci]<<Status of King>>

[c]Xophett has no desire to be king due to his immense strength, believing it would be an unfair position to hold due to his abilities and would stifle the progression of hollows. However, that is only the surface truth. The full truth is that the title “king” means little to Xophett as he ultimately views himself as a physical embodiment of Hueco Mundo itself. Believing that he is the land. Something virtually beyond a “king”, as kings come and go, however Hueco Mundo itself always remains.

[ci]<<A bit of Hypocrisy>>

[c]As stated above, Xophett is a very ideological being, however his views on how hollows should be and his distaste for Arrancars can be somewhat seen as hypocritical. Xophett dislikes Arrancars because they visually and inherently they are more human than normal hollows to a degree. However it’s worth acknowledging that Xophett himself is very similar to an Arrancar in many ways. Despite him still having a monstrous appearance, his personality, complex morality and extensive ideologies are nearly polar opposites of what a typical hollow should be. Thus making him, arguably, just as human-like as an arrancar.

[ci]<<Powerscale>>

[c]So how strong is Xophett? That’s a fairly particular question with I feel a kinda obvious answer. It’s no surprise to say that he is definitely an upper echelon character and is very powerful, especially by hollow standards who wasn’t amped by the Hogyoku and turned into an arrancar. As as far pure reiatsu goes, it’s a bit hard to scale him generally. In my mind, Xophett, ancient Barragarn and Ikomikidomoe were all relatively the around one another, with Xophett being the overall weakest out of the 3, however due to his additional and very beneficial sand abilities, he was able to be on par with the two. Super vague scaling, I know lol, but it’s the best I can really directly compare. So, ultimately here are the 2 different criteria of powerscaling I can give him:

[c]•If Xophett is within the confines of Hueco Mundo, or really any deserted area inwhich his Fullbring can be fully realized, Xophett scales directly to an Ikomikidomoe level threat, who in material like CFYOW, was a true force to be reckoned with(before he HARD jobbed to Kenpachi).

[c]•If Xophett isn’t in Hueco Mundo or any deserted areas and has limited sand access, he becomes a much more humbled but still fairly high end character. In my mind he is still far superior to any other present day hollows and would be about on par with a high end captain+. Tbh outside of Kenpachi, I can’t see any current members of the Gotei being able to 1v1 Xophett and having much good chances of winning, at least not without prep. So probably 1 high end captain with backup, much like the Karakura town battles with the Espada which consisted typically of each captain being assisted by multiple visoreds in order to combat their respective target.

[ci]<<Theme>>

[c]N/A

[ci]<<Symbolism>>

[c]Xophett, Barragarn, and Ikomikidomoe are meant to represent the 3 titans of Heuco mundo’s history. Each one of them embodying a certain beyond man concept. Xophett being the god of Heuco mundo. Barragan being the King of Hueco mundo. And Ikomikidomoe being the Monster of Hueco mundo.

[ci]<<True Evolution>>

[c]During the events of the “New breathes from hell” arc Xophett undergoes a massive arc inwhich he gains a “new” evolution after consuming and gaining the power of Barragan and Ikomikidomoe. This boost in power evolved Xophett beyond a vasto lorde but into something completely different than an arrancar as he retained his monstrous appearance.

[IMG=J7T]

[c]It is worth mentioning that this state is not a transformation, but is a whole new evolution for Xophett that cannot be regressed or turned off. It is who he is now virtually. In his state of being, his powers boost significantly, making him, quite literally the hollow equivalent of Yamamoto and or base Yhwach in comparison to their factions. His powers despite remaining mostly the same have now been amplified to the point where he himself can turn into sand along with turning other things into sand, granting a level of matter manipulation which allows him to turn even a tranquil forest into a desert for him to control. Furthermore, he gains two new yet mostly cosmetic abilities that allows him to create and control white stone structures which make up Hueco mundo, as well as shroud the sky in his now partially black reitasu to give the impression of night time. In case ya haven’t been able to piece it together, all these abilities sums up to Xophett now being able to create a pocket sized Heuco mundo wherever he is. Getting rid of one of his main weaknesses of his powers only being fully utilized in one place, which now, could essentially be anywhere. Lastly, this new form completes the “god, kings, and monsters” symbolism between Xophett, Barragan, and Ikomikidomoe. By Xophett absorbing the two, the powers of all 3 hollow titans are now in one vessel, making Xophett a truly ungodly force, representing now, all 3 aspects himself.
