Personality
Vicente is generally observed as the quiet psychotic of the Espada. He has a bit of a temper that brews inside him as a sick form of sarcasm and patience, rarely ever letting it overflow. He carries with him a sarcastic smile or devil's grin wherever he may walk, letting people believe he's kind but in reality being a manipulator. He's the type of man to give a pep talk to his army just to watch them march off to get slaughtered and then laugh about it. He's very narrow minded and stubborn, not making him that great of a leader, but more of an army consisting of himself. He views Soul Society with extreme prejudice and disdain, and actually finds Quincy rather an interesting middle-man, but hates them all the same for jumping out of the blue on Shinigami and Arrancar affairs, saving their asses when the Arrancar had them backed into a corner. He is often viewed as the silent psychotic amongst the Espada, never outwardly speaking what he really thinks, but plotting the sadistic demise of whomever he crosses paths with. It's not uncommon for him, once engaged in combat with an individual, to develop a sickening obsession with them until he hunts them down and murders them.
Towards other Espada he is generally accepting. He realizes the Espada coexist as an organization, and should only one of them take on the responsibility of fulfilling Aizen's wishes, Aizen would be left with a single dead hero rather than a living general. As for Aizen himself, Vicente views him in a special light. He is thankful for his creation and empowerment as an Espada, and as such, Aizen is one of very few people that Vicente has come to respect. In battle, Vicente often refuses to let himself enter his resureccion, even after his enemy has entered their utmost power. Only when he feels it is needed will he ascend into resureccion, toying with the opponent and delivering painful wounds to egg them on until he decides to fight serious. Combat is like a sadistic game to him.
Vicente generally has no care or regard for human life, not even feeling guilty slaughtering innocent people. In fact, he often does it for fun to bring a Shinigami out of hiding to toy with.

Historical
Background
Vicente remembers nothing of his human life, but what he remembers as a spirit and beyond is vivid.
After becoming a spirit and having his chain eroded, he became a hollow. As the basic type of hollow, his mind was a simple one; consume all that attracted him by spiritual power. He stalked earth aimlessly, being drawn to whomever may peak his interest at the time. He didn't see many other hollows and often came into contact with creatures he called Shinigami; unfortunately, any Shinigami to him was a death wish waiting to happen. He fled from them constantly, feeding on human after human. He stalked the earth for months until fate would come upon him; he found a wounded Shinigami calling for help after being wounded in a fight by another Shinigami that had gone rogue. Moving in, the Shinigami was helpless against him as he devoured her spiritual energy, receiving a gigantic boost in power.
He found a new home in Hueco Mundo amongst billions of other hollows like himself, but he made many trips to the human world to stir up trouble and lure out Shinigami, only to devour them and increase his power incredibly every time he did so. Eventually, Shinigami caught on and avoided him, and humans weren't enough. The spoiled Vicente would take refuge in Hueco Mundo, and one day, when his hunger simply overflowed, he let loose on every hollow that came near him and devoured them all. He wandered across the vast desert, devouring every hollow in his way, until he came across a huge field of hollow scrapping with each other and eating each other. He joined the fray and fought for his life for a week straight, and in the end, he came out of the struggle as a Gillian-class Menos.
Even as a Menos he was incredibly powerful from devouring the souls of Shinigami, and he immediately took control of the mass of hollows that comprised his form. He stalked across the desert of Hueco Mundo as a much more powerful being now, and nothing could sate his appetite besides another Menos. So stalk he did, and every few weeks, just when he was about to lose the mental struggle, he managed to pick up a few weak hollows as scraps before finding several other Menos. He lived only to feed, and he gorged himself on any Gillian he could find. After years of devouring smaller hollows and Gillian alike, he finally came across a powerful Adjuchas. This Adjuchas had no intent of devouring him; in fact, he'd been isolated for so long he promised to find food for Vicente in exchange for his companionship. The two stalked about as a pair, sharing meals and devouring what they could find. Vicente grew in power incredibly during this time period of several years, and eventually, he had become an Adjuchas himself.
Vicente had no intentions of keeping his end of the bargain, however. He had become too tempted by power, and when his partner least expected it, he challenged him to combat. It was no secret that by now his fellow Adjuchas was nearing the power of a Vasto Lorde, having wandered through Hueco Mundo for many many years as an Adjuchas, feeding off of whomever he'd found. Stunned and appalled, he refused the combat until Vicente bit a chunk out of his body and gulped it down, showing he was serious. Enraged, insulted, and saddened, writhing in pain, the Adjuchas was already in severe pain as Vicente dealt mortal blows to his weakened body and devoured him savagely, claiming his only loyalty belonged to himself. After devouring him, an incredibly surge of power enveloped his body, and a few days later he was approached by a man in a white cloak with insane spiritual power.
Jumping to the occasion, he attempted to devour the man, but was beaten savagely for his efforts. He was promised power beyond his wildest imagination, and the man introduced himself as Aizen. Following the man back to his fortress in Hueco Mundo, Las Noches, he served as Aizen's personal bodyguard once he underwent the process of shinigamification, turning him into an arrancar. Even as an arrancar, he was extremely powerful, powerful enough to even rival the current Espada. He was jealous of their position and special treatment, and anyone could only imagine the glee plastered upon his face when the Quincy slaughtered the Espada and opened up a spot for him. He was instantly promoted to tenth when he died, then eighth, then seventh, then fifth, then fourth.
Taking this as a challenge, Vicente lives these days to constantly prove his worth to Aizen in hopes of achieving power far greater than what he has now. He is often seen at the forefront of war, either conducting stealth strike teams or at the front lines, painting his blade with shinigami blood.
Allies The Espada, some Arrancar, very very few Hollows. Most allies he has are temporary anyhow.
Zanpakutō
Name Aleta Rapida (Swift Fin)
Element N/A /No Element
Appearance Aleta Rapida takes the form of a sword. The sword has a blue polished handle with a white metal pommel, and scaling up from the grip the guard can be seen, obviously. The guard is shaped like a pair of jaws clamping down over the bottom of the blade. The blade itself is not curved, so the sword does not take the shape of a katana or some such sword as that. The blade is much more straight than a katana and is refined with an edge composed of many serrated teeth rather than a straightforward blade, which adds much more damage per swing than usual; it allows the blade to rip as it slices.
Ressuréccion
Ressuréccion Release Phrase ''Diezmar, Aleta Rapida!'' (Decimate, Swift Fin!)
Ressuréccion Appearance
After uttering the release phrase, Vicente will take Aleta Rapida and aim the tip at his hollow hole. Then, he will jam the sword through it and the transformation will take place. The sword will twist and bend erratically as it fuses into Vicente's body. After a large shockwave which sends debris flying everywhere, the dust will clear and there will stand Vicente in his Ressureccion. He has grown to about six feet and four inches tall, and his arms have lengthened to stretch just below his kneecaps. His entire body is covered in sharp teeth-like spikes, especially his arms, which contain blades. His teeth are now more numerous and much more jagged than before, and his pupils are fully dilated. His hair has slicked back and narrowed to form a fin-resembling hairline tracing down his neck and part of his back, while his actual head is protected by a small visor; it appears like the jaws of a piranha shading his eyes. His arms are a bit more muscular and contain eight large tooth-like blades each; his primary weapon. The blades may seem very flimsy, but in reality, they can stand up in combat against the strongest zanpakuto. Every one of these arm blades vibrates at an extremely high frequency, massively increasing their cutting power. The vibration even produces a low audible hum.
Ressuréccion Abilities
Cortador De Sonic (Sonic Cutter)
When Vicente slices at the air with his vibrating arm blades, it creates a large distortion of reiatsu and high-frequency sound that is blasted toward the opponent at an extreme velocity, creating a sonic boom which sends a wave of sonic energy through the air that slices apart everything in its path. When both arms are used to perform the technique at once, an X-shaped wave of sonic energy is blasted outward with much greater cutting potential.
Barrera Diente Sonic (Sonic Tooth Barrage)
Vicente launches any number of his teeth-like blades on his arms with highly pressurized reiatsu, causing them to scream through the air at an extremely tremendous velocity at the opponent. The blades, due to the spped, can slice through flesh and bone completely cleanly with hardly any trouble at all. While one tooth blade isn't terribly damaging or threatening, an entire volley of these blades could slice even the most experienced combatant into red ribbons before they hit the ground. A full salvo of these teeth would potentially be fatal; every time a tooth is fired, a new one replaces it.
Diente Malo (Wicked Tooth)
Sacrificing a small portion of his spiritual energy, Vicente forces the blades on his arms to combine with each other and grow much longer. The short blades are now as long as the blade of a sword extending from the outside of each wrist, elbow, and shoulder. They may appear to be normal blades to the fooled eye, but each blade is actually extremely complex; they are serrated on a microscopic level, vibrating with an even louder hum than before. This microscopic serration allows the blades to cut through almost any material with extreme ease. This, combined with Vicente's expertise in Sonido, makes for an incredibly bone-chilling and frightening ability.
De Onda Sonica De Vacio (Sonic Vacuum Wave)
Vicente will slash the air in front of him creating a rupture of sonic energy which then blasts forward at the opponent, homing in on them at the speed of sound. The attack is extremely fast and upon arrival, detonates which causes devastating damage more powerful than a Cero. This attack can not cut, and is probably the weakest in terms of casualties, but travels extremely fast.
Sinfonia Sonora (Sonic Symphony)
Vicente's most powerful ability. Vicente pumps a large portion of reiatsu into the vibrating blades on his arms, sending the frequency of their vibration skyrocketing through the roof. Their once low hum has now become a deafening screech, a plague to the ears, and the air starts to violently vibrate around them. Upon reciting the name of the attack, a barrage of sonic cutters is blasted out in all directions, slicing through everything in their wake. Vicente can direct the path of these cutters and send them screaming toward his opponent. If they cannot escape the hellish assault, they'll literally be sliced into shreds.

Titles
Adept Hierro Specialist:
This character has strengthened their hierro in battle against powerful foes. They can generally shrug off most physical damage and are even able to deflect weaker energy attacks with their bare hands.
This title is charactertized by events where Vicente has taken quite the rocking in damage yet still stood up with less injuries than he should have had. He received a very damaging blow from a Vice Captain that would have probably put the common arrancar out of comission, yet still managed to stand to his feet afterward and keep fighting.
Adept Swordsmanship Specialist:
This character has grown on their sword in a way, and have learnt various sword movements, styles, attacks and abilities. They know their way out of dire situations through only the act of swordplay, though there are some who still beat them in the art.
Vicente's Adept Title in swordsmanship is adequately demonstrated by his uncanny sword fighting style. Rather than kenjutsu or some formal art of fighting, Vicente has rather shown himself to be much more adept at fight with one hand ambidextrously, meaning he can fight adequately with his left or his right hand, while using brute strength to smash aside his opponent's defenses and cut them down. To opponents he takes more seriously, he uses the even more uncanny reverse grip. He holds the handle point-down, using his high speed to deliver wide slashes to the enemy or groups of enemies at once.
Adept Sonido Specialist:
This character has delved even further into the sonido, and can use it too maneuver around at a quickened pace, and is even able to leave behind a single after-image to confuse the enemy.
Vicente's Adept Title in Sonido is characterized by his ability to use it at a moment's notice, as has been demonstrated when he fought a Vice Captain level Shinigami. He can use it to escape danger right before it strikes, and he hardly ever tires from using it for a lengthened period of time.
Adept Cero Specialist:
This character has advanced further in their use of cero, and can now fire the blasts in rapid sucession. Charging the blasts is quicker than ever, becoming fully charged in a matter of seconds.
This title is characterized by Vicente's extensive and creative uses of Cero and Bala. He is able to charge them quickly and often combines this tactic with Sonido to blink out of combat, charge a high-power Cero, then blink back in and cram it down the enemy's throat at close quarters. He has also demonstrated this attribute with his Bala.
