Resurrección Name: El Jugador- The Gambler
Release Phrase: Place Your Bet
Animal Representation: Jackal
Family: Sound
Sealed Resurrección: The sealed weapon of the Jackal is a pair of modified Falcata blades. The blades are black with the tip and edges being silver. They are also both 20 inches long, shorter that your typical Katana, but still enough to get the job done. The blades are at least 4 inches wide in width, the blades almost seem to have no cross guard. This is very common and is quite expected for weapons of this type. The hilt or what Lucius calls the hilt of the weapon, is made up of the same material of your typical hilt. It is of a semi square shape as the end of the hilt actually curves and meets the cross guard. There is also a pair of scabbards that each blade are carried inside of. The scabbards are also black and if one should look closely, there are designs of a pack of animals, most likely jacks on the outside of the scabbards. These jackals also feature of the blades themselves that has a curve or a dip in the belly of the weapon. The blades also seemed to be made for close quarters combat, based on their length, which is mainly an assumption by many.
Initial Release:
The transition from from being normal, to extraordinary would have been completed, by a mere release phrase. The Arrancar known as Lucius Cross, by now underwent a few changes. The head of the Arrancar is the starting point for these changes. The Arrancar's teal colored hair that is normally straight. Will now be spiky, with even more volume to it. Cross will also be sporting a mask on his face. A venetian masquerader's mask, with a major portion of the mask being white. The mask is decorated with black ribbons at the top of it, these ribbons also has bells at the end of them. The ribbons are shaped like a slender triangle, that stands up firm. There are at least seven small bells in total. The bells on the end of each ribbons are golden, stemming from black ribbons with red outlines. The ribbons themselves extend up to 8 inches in length. The eye holes of the mask, has tiny black designs just below it. These designs are in the shape of black spades, like on a card. The spades point downward, acting as tears falling from the eye of the mask. The lips of the mask are painted black, along with a black outline around the eye holes. At the base of the mask, such as the chin and jaw area. Extends 7 black triangular shaped ribbons, with Grey fur on the out edges of them. The ribbons also has bells attached to them like at the top of the mask.
Lucius is also dressed in what appears to be three pieces of garment. Lucius wears a black overcoat over his clothing. The overcoat is decorated by playing card symbols. These symbols includes, diamonds, spades, hearts and cloves. Ranging from aces, king, queens, jacks etc. The overcoat also has a thick Grey fur, that acts as the collar. This fur settles on the shoulders of Lucius, as well as covering the neck area of the man. Beneath this over coat of his, he sports a black shirt that is buttoned, but not all the way up. The Arrancar is sports a pair of gloves on his hands. On his left hand in a black glove, wile on his right is a white glove. The overcoat is also buttoned at the mid section. Effectively creating a "V" shape at the upper half of the body, and an inverted V at the lower half of the body. The end of the sleeves, where the wrist is, also has Grey fur decorating it. The bottom of the overcoat also has this Grey fur on it too. Lucius wears a pair of trousers that are also black, with what appears to be black man boots.
The Pistols comes in the form of modified 44 Magnums, which is a reflection of their power. The nozzles of each pistols takes the shape of a Silver skull, with its mouth wide opened. The mouth of the skull as one would expect leads to the inside chamber of the pistol. The eye of the skull acts as infrared markers emitting a red light, so that the wielder of the Pistols can properly aim. These markers can pinpoint a target up to 800 meters away. The pistols as stated are modified Magnums, however they don't carry the same slim chamber as your regular magnum does. They're instead made to be more rectangular in shape which is 4 inches in length from the top of the nozzle to the bottom of it. The magnums also extend 10 inches long, with your typical round barrels that holds the rounds. The weapons are very durable much any other Zanapakuto, granting them the ability to perform melee combat. The guns will be black in color, well most of it for the most part. With the skull shaped nozzle, being silver along with the hammer and the trigger. Along the sides of the each weapon, will have the markings of flame vinyl engraved in it. The handle of the weapons are actually white and black with a rubber grip. At the front of his waistline a deck of cards are located, they too are apart of his weaponry and arsenal. The cards are more or less like your general deck of cards, with all the general cards coming into play. These include Jacks, Queens, Aces, Kings etc. The deck of cards are black, with the inside of the cards being white, the number of the cards and so on being a mixture of red and black etc. The cards are generally carried in a case on his hips, that are easily accessible. What is truly remarkable about the cards, are their metallic structure, able to act much like a Zanapakuto does.
Ultimate Ability: El Jugador's ability is based on sound and its creation, construction, reconstruction, reshaping, density, intensity and its manipulation in order to induce a number of effects. Through the use of sound vibrations, El Jugador can create ripples of sound based energy, resulting in concussive blasts, which rips and tears apart things using his Spiritual Pressure. The manipulation of sound allows for great versatility. This includes using the sound waves to perform offensive and defensive man oeuvres. The sound waves can of course be fired off from the Jackal's pistols. The cards being used, may have the sound based energy expand around them and solidify, and as a result acting as a shield. The sound waves are at times released with card symbols decorating them. The cards in the deck can be manipulated to move and act like blades if the Jackal so wished it. The release of El Jugador's powers also has close relations to the Jackal's innate ability. This means the sound waves will inject ripples of sound vibrations into an opposing force. The result of this is the weakening of the opponent's own defense and offense, by up to 40% of its true power. What this means is that El Jugador will appear to have overwhelm the opposing force, by breaking through defense and offense alike much easier. As a side not, all of the techniques related to El Jugador has the same ability.
Innate Ability:
Name: Truco de Naipes- Card Trick
Description: Despite the name of the Jackal's Innate ability, it really has nothing to do with trickery, at least not from his point of view. Truco de Naipes will manifest a field of sound based energy from and around the person of the Jackal. This field spreads out like a sphere, reaching out 5 feet in all directions. The energy field around the Jackal sends out constant vibrations, creating ripples of sound based energy around the Jackal.The energy is mainly used as a defensive ability that works in certain ways. Truco de Naipes will inject ripples of the Jackal's Reiatsu into other opposing Reiatsu based abilities that comes into contact with it. By doing so, Truco de Naipes looks to weaken the power of other abilities, it will weaken abilities by up to 50 percent of their true power. While doing this it also slows down these abilities and even the personnel within its range. However the person is slowed down to at least 70% of their true speed.

Techniques:
Name: Veintiún- Black Jack/ Twenty one
Level: Ressureccion
Type: Offensive
Effects: Black Jack as the name states is loosely based on the gambler's game. The Jackal will normally use his pistols gained from is Ressureccion as the catalyst to Black Jack. The technique releases 21 rapid blasts of concussive sound based energy. The appearance of the energy blasts are like Ceros, but are 3/4 of the size of your typical Cero. The energy is also dark with card symbols decorating it, such as Kings, Queens, Jacks, Ace etc. Upon contact without whatever they touch, they will release dangerous ripples of sound based energy that tears and rips apart materials, even the human body is not spared from this. These concussive blasts will seemingly explode as they collide, but as stated the effects are slightly different. These concussive blasts and ripples of energy expands out 15 meters after they initially make contact, thus creating a devastating technique. The speed of the blasts are also significantly faster than a Cero, very similar to the way in which sound travels. They are three times as fasts as a Cero, but can still be dodged if timed properly.

Name: Broma del Joker- The Joker's Jest
Level: Ressureccion
Type: Offensive
Effects: The Joker's jest as one would imagine by the name is more or less a jest thought up by the Jackal. This is one of his most prized and yet most difficult techniques to execute. As a result of this, the Jackal has come up with two ways in which to ensare his targets with this technique. The Jackal will fire off sound waves from his pistols, that sounds like the call or howl of a Jackal. The sound waves are almost invisible, but are like the size of the Black Jack techniques. The almost invisible wave only noticed by its warped outline will collide with the targets. And once it does so, it will send its foreign energy into the body of the victim. By doing this it creates a cerebral malfunction which then affects the movement of the opponent by disrupting their nerve system. This causes movements to be reversed, which means the act of wanting to look left, will see the opponent look right instead. The act of wanting to jump, will see them duck instead. The act of wanting to lift their arms, will lift their legs instead. The act of wanting to walk forward, will see them going backward instead. The act of wanting to run, will see them walk instead. The act of wanting to perform a speed based move such as Shyunpo will see them walk instead.The other way of inducing the technique, is by having cards from his deck explode thus sending these dangerous waves outwards.They generally perform the same function, except the Jackal uses the cards from his deck instead. The flight of the cards can be controlled by Cross.
