All Bleach characters are "souls". Living humans contain souls within their bodies, while disembodied souls, or spirits, have a form composed of particles of spiritual energy called ectoplasm (ë‘×Ó, reishi?), which otherwise mimics human anatomy, aside from slowed aging. This form encompasses all of the spirit's being; there is no distinction between mind and body. There are a variety of different types of spirits in Bleach, each with a differing visual theme and approach to combat. The specific types are described below.
Human: The humans of Bleach are much like the residents of modern Japan, and most cannot see or sense disembodied spirits in any way. Spirits can, however, inhabit artificial human bodies called gigai which are visible to ordinary humans. One in 50,000 humans is a medium with some awareness of nearby ghosts, but only a third of these are able to see them clearly, and only the strongest of mediums are able to speak with or touch ghosts.[14] Certain unique humans naturally have both the power to sense and the strength to fight with spirits. Ordinary humans can gain the ability to interact with spirits by spending time around a large source of spirit energy.[15] Plus: Benign ghosts in Bleach are known as pluses (wholes in the official English editions). A plus is the spirit of a person who has died.[16] A chain, known as the Chain of Fate (Òò¹û¤Îæi, inga no kusari?), protrudes from the chest and binds the plus to a location, object or person that they felt close to in life.[17] The soul can move about freely if the chain is broken, but this also causes the chain to corrode.[17] Normally, pluses are sent to Soul Society by shinigami in a ritual called soul burial (»êÔá, kons¨?) before this corrosion becomes significant. If the Chain of Fate is corroded entirely before a soul burial can be performed, a hole will form in the chest of the soul where the chain was once anchored. Such souls are driven mad and become evil ghosts known as hollows.[17] If the Chain of Fate is torn out deliberately, this also leads to spiritual degradation.[18]
Shinigami: Shinigami (Soul Reapers in the official English editions, Death Gods in most subtitled versions) are the psychopomps of Bleach. They are souls with inner spiritual power, recruited from the ranks of the residents and nobility of Soul Society. Like all spirits, they cannot be detected by normal humans. Shinigami use their zanpakut¨, supernatural swords that are the manifestation of their owners' power, to perform soul burials on pluses.[16] Shinigami also use zanpakut¨ and magic known as kid¨ to fight their archrivals, the hollows.[16] A group of shinigami known as the vizard have also obtained hollow powers through illegal means, gaining removable masks and access to certain hollow abilities.
Hollow: The hollows are the major antagonists of Bleach. They are evil ghosts who reside in Hueco Mundo but travel to the living world to feed on the souls of the living and dead alike. Like shinigami, hollows are made of spiritual matter and cannot be detected by ordinary humans. While the majority of hollows can be overcome by the average shinigami, there are some which surpass even the most elite shinigami in strength. All normal hollows wear white masks,[17] but a small group of hollows have broken them, becoming arrancar. By shattering their masks, these hollows regain the ability to reason, obtain a humanoid form, and gain access to shinigami powers.[19]
Artificial soul: Artificial souls are a type of soul mass-produced by the shinigami.[20] Issued in pill form, they are used to force shinigami out of their gigai during protracted stays in the living world, and also to evict pluses that refuse to leave their bodies after death.[20] They come with a pre-programmed personality that animates the host body until the owner returns.[20] In addition to the mundane versions, a series of experimental souls authorized and created by shinigami researchers exists.[21] Known as modified souls, these were meant to hunt hollows by possessing soulless human bodies and supercharging a particular aspect of them (for example, strength or speed).[21] The shinigami decided to scrap the project due to the inhumanity of forcing dead bodies to fight, and ordered the destruction of all modified souls.[21] Only one modified soul exists in the manga, but there are three more such characters in the anime. Quincy: The Quincy are a clan of spiritually aware humans who once fought against the hollows, using weapons composed of spiritual energy to slay them.[22] As opposed to shinigami, Quincy absorb and channel energy from their surroundings to fight.[23] Unlike the shinigami method of killing hollows which allows the hollow to enter Soul Society, the Quincy technique simply destroys the hollow's soul entirely.[22] This method has the propensity to shatter the balance of the universe, because when souls are destroyed, the number of souls entering and leaving Soul Society cannot remain equal.[24] This issue prompted the shinigami to conduct a campaign to exterminate the Quincy about 200 years before the main storyline.[25] At least two Quincy still remain.
Bount: Exclusive to the anime, the Bounts are a clan of human beings with high spiritual energy and special powers. They were accidentally created by shinigami scientists looking for a way to create eternal life. Bounts consume the souls of human beings to survive; theoretically, a Bount could live forever by doing so. Although the Bounts have a strict rule to consume only the souls of the dead, the final group of Bounts chose to drain souls from living humans in order to become more powerful. Each Bount uses a "doll" in combat, a type of familiar possessing its own special abilities. Every doll is unique and is a manifestation of the user's power. If the doll is destroyed, its owner is destroyed as well

[edit] Arrancar Main article: Arrancar in Bleach An arrancar (sometimes written allankar or arankaru) is a hollow that has removed its mask and gained shinigami powers. The name arrancar is a Spanish verb meaning "to remove" or "to rip off," a reference to an arrancar's removal of its hollow mask. In the manga, it is written as arankaru (ÆÆÃæ, lit. rip mask) but has no native Japanese pronunciation, instead using the katakana for arankaru.
Few hollows have the potential to remove their masks normally, and even if they manage it the change is not significant. S¨suke Aizen is able to artificially create arrancar with the Orb of Distortion, which also unlocks much more of their potential than a natural transformation would. The process of turning a hollow into an arrancar is called shinigamification (ËÀÉñ»¯, shinigami-ka?).[2]
Arrancar and ordinary hollows differ in two ways: the location of their holes and the near-total disappearance of their masks. When hollows become arrancar, the chances of them retaining a humanoid form increase with their intelligence; only vasto lorde-class arrancar will definitely assume a humanoid form. If powerful enough, an arrancar can seal his or her excess power into the form of a zanpakut¨. Unlike with shinigami, this zanpakut¨ is by no means sentient. It is simply the hollow's true form sealed into a sword. Therefore, an arrancar's release of their zanpakut¨ is merely a temporary restoration of their former selves. An arrancar release is called resurrecci¨®n (Spanish for "resurrection"). Arrancar do not have a known second release.
Those arrancar under Aizen's command also have a standard theme for their clothing. Their uniforms consist of a white jacket, black sash, white hakama, and black socks with white sandals; in essence, the uniforms are basically inverted shinigami uniforms

The vizard are the antithesis to the arrancar; they are shinigami who have obtained hollow powers and whose shinigami powers remain dominant (although they do have to undergo a process and maintain their dominance over their hollow), while the arrancar are hollows that have obtained shinigami powers and whose hollow powers remain dominant. Having begun as shinigami, the vizard appear entirely human. Unlike the arrancar, they do not have holes or partial masks (common traits of transformed hollows) anywhere on their body, though they can produce masks on demand, and they carry zanpakut¨ like normal shinigami. When using their hollow powers, a vizard's appearance does not change except for the mask on their face and the color of their eyes, with the whites of their eyes turning black and the irises gold. This process of donning one's hollow mask is referred to as "Hollowification" (Ð黯, hor¨-ka?) by Dordonii. In battle, the vizard use their hollow powers to augment their shinigami abilities, granting them massive increases in speed, stamina, and strength. They also gain access to some of the common hollow abilities, such as cero blasts. Bodily harm can seemingly be ignored while wearing their masks, as demonstrated by Ichigo's hollow during his unwilling transformations.
Vizard zanpakut¨ seem to function in the same manner as those of standard shinigami; however, none of them have explicitly used their releases in combat yet, excluding Ichigo and Kensei. The vizard seem to prefer their mask-given powers to their shinigami abilities. The vizard remain in complete control while wearing their masks, unlike Ichigo's early unstable transformations. As suggested by Aizen, the fusion of the two spiritual entities allows these shinigami to reach levels of power far surpassing that of either side.

shards: on extremley rare ocasions certain hollows will devour not just a persons soul, but there body as well. in the hollows stomach the body becomes energy and when the hollow is killed the energy splits and so does the persons soul. these broken souls are called shatters and their fragments are called shards. shards represent different parts of the persons soul and can repersent many things. for example a shard could repersent a persons individual emotions or all thei positive or negative emotions. also they almost always have special powers due to being inside the hollow. these powers may be reflections of the hollows or their own unique powers. if the shards are not reunited within 3 days of the shatter the person will die and become a hollow. this also means the person will never be whole again. also ocasionaly the person will retain their powers after becomeing a whole again or develope new powers.

Menos A multitude of normal gillian-class menos.Though most hollows are simply transformed human souls, a sub-group of hollows known as menos (Spanish for "minus") exist. Menos are conglomerations of hundreds of normal hollows, resulting in a single composite entity of far greater strength than any normal hollow.[1] Menos-class hollows are considered so dangerous that Soul Society sends only highly trained shinigami teams to handle menos incursions.[1] These incursions seem to be rare, however, as menos rarely leave Hueco Mundo unless attracted by large sources of spiritual power or encouraged to by other forces.
Menos are created when the void within an ordinary hollow's heart becomes so substantial that human souls are incapable of sustaining it, at which point it begins devouring fellow hollows. These cannibal hollows are attracted to one another, and a mass inter-devouring follows, resulting in a gillian.[2] Following this transformation, the gillian can evolve twice more, first into an adjuchas and finally into a vasto lorde, provided certain conditions are met.
Shawlong Qufang depicted as a conscious gillian on the left and as an evolved gillian on the right.Gillian-class menos (girian) are the weakest class of menos and the first stage of menos evolution. They are giant in comparison to other hollows, dwarfing even the largest standard hollows by at least the size of a two-story building, but lack agility and intelligence. While a gillian-class menos is quite powerful, they are still much weaker than a shinigami lieutenant. According to T¨shir¨ Hitsugaya, they are comparable to "foot-soldiers", reflected in their uniform appearance. In Soul Society, gillians are known as menos grande and are shown in textbooks discussing menos. Menos grande literally means "big minus" in Spanish ("less big" is also a possible translation). Similarly, the kanji for menos grande is ´óÐé (lit. big emptiness).
Though gillains usually have no personality to speak of, one of the many hollows that comprise it may retain control over the new entity, reflected in the unique mask it wears in comparison to a normal gillain. Only these gillian variants have the potential to evolve in adjuchas-class menos. The evolution is facilitated by the continued cannibalization of fellow hollows, even other gillians, which slowly transforms their bodies into unique forms,[3] thus accounting for the variation in powers and appearance between gillian-based arrancar despite ordinary gillians being uniform. Though these gillian variants possess unique forms, they do not lose their massive size until they fully evolve.
Adjuchas-class menos (aj¨±kasu) are the medium class of menos in terms of power, and the second stage in the menos evolution. Adjuchas can vary radically in appearance, from bulky humanoids to the jaguar-like form of Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. Unlike the gillians, they are roughly human-sized. They are also much smarter than the gillians and have the power to match. It is likely they could fight evenly with at least a shinigami lieutenant. They watch over the many gillian-class menos.
Adjuchas-class menos are much smaller in population compared to the gillian class, due to the rarity of any one hollow being capable of overwhelming the many other hollows that comprise the body of a gillian. Furthermore, the adjuchas must continue to devour hollows, or its mind will be absorbed by the hollows comprising its form and it will revert back into a gillian. The subsequent lack of an individual will also precludes the reverted gillian from becoming an adjuchas again.[4]
An example silhouette of a vasto lorde menos.Vasto lorde-class menos (vastor¨de) are the most powerful class of menos, and the final stage in the menos evolutionary line. They appear almost completely humanoid, and each one is stronger than an average shinigami captain; T¨shir¨ claims that ten of them under S¨suke Aizen's control would be enough to defeat all of Soul Society. It seems that Aizen has important plans with them, but the details haven't been revealed. The remnants of Ulquiorra's mask resemble that of the example vasto lorde.
Vasto lorde are the least common form of menos, but the exact population is unknown. They are believed to reside within the very depths of Hueco Mundo. Apart from the need to cannibalize even more hollows, any special requirements for the creation of a vasto lorde are unknown.

transers: quincy who got hollow powers when their quincy abilites went into overdrive in a near death sichawashin and they absorbed the hollows power but not its spirit. there bodies purfiy the power and make it usable. they also gain the ability to create weapons made of reisha that can be stored in the body from the energy of powerful hollows they defeat. they can even develope (and usualy do) a weapon that reflects the power of the hollow whose power they first absorbed. they can also asume a full transformed state for short periods of time by useing a hollow weaon they or another made as a focus to amplify there own hollow powers. many quincy in the past could do this but disbised hollows so much that they were shunned and usualy would take there own lives or be killed by their fellow quincy. due to this transers are hated by most traditional quincy.only one out of every 10 quinct can ecome a transer.

Onitenshi- The onitenshi are the descendents of an oni (demon) and a tenshi (angel) who fell in love long ago. God allowed the oni and tenshi to be together and they lived amoung the humans. An onitenshi is a half demon, half angel. They have demons powers, angel powers, and any other powers they’ve acquired on their own. They’ve been around for centuries and they never die. The onitenshi look just like everyone else most of the time and so it’s hard to tell when one is around. They can use any part of their body as a weapon just by focusing energy into a certain body part. Some will also carry weapons that are hidden as a piece of clothing or jewelry. Onitenshi are mostly protectors. They will either find a family with problems or that will have problems and stick with them to help them or they will wander around and help those who need it. Since hardly anyone knows exactly who they are the onitenshi are still pretty high in number.
Direct Descendents: There are twelve direct descendents of the oni and the tenshi. There are seven boys and five girls. Ichirou (m), Jiro (m), Adalei (f), Jiko (m), Kurogai (m), Reiya (f), Kaira (f), Dominique (f), Tsuyoshi (m), Albedo (m), chaos (m), Masumi (f) Most of them are split up however a few are together.
Branch Descendents: There are a lot of branch descendents. The branch descendents are just the other children of the oni and the tenshi. And they are the children, grandchildren, etc. of the direct descendents. There are a lot of them wandering around everywhere.
They have their own special abilities based on whether they are branch or direct descendents. And the direct descendents also have abilities that only they know. An onitenshi’s body can be hurt but not destroyed. Their wings are hidden in their back and if you touch the top of their heads you’ll feel two lumps which are their horns (only some onitenshi have horns).
Each of the direct descendents are a onitenshi guardian of something.
Ichirou- Onitenshi of Courage Jiro- Onitenshi of Knowledge Adalei- Onitenshi of Protection Jiko- Onitenshi of Wisdom Kurogai- Onitenshi of Care Reiya- Onitenshi of Love Kaira- Onitenshi of Peace Dominique- Onitenshi of Loyalty Tsuyoshi- Onitenshi of Strength Albedo: Unknown for now chaos- Onitenshi of Truth Masumi- Onitenshi of Youth
Two of the direct descedent males (second and fifth boys) were changed into humans when their angel and demon powers were sucked out. They were, however, able to keep their immortality. They've wandered around for centuries changing their ages to fit the amount of time they should be aging in order in hide themselves. They never truely revealed themselves and got invovled with anything until recent times when their "mother" got sick. Two humans were called to help take care of the boys. A human man and a human woman were given immortality to watch over the boys as their "parents". The boys do wish to become onitenshi again but due to certain things that have happened to their bodies they may not ever be able to.
(the two human boys will be added to the list once they are revealed)

vampires: This race have exsisted for many centuries. roughly 3000 years ago, five people, a sorcerer, a whitch, a necromancer, a warlock, and a corupt priest, all made a deal with the devil for immortality and power. in return he gave them their desires but at a great cost, they lost their souls and thier human forms. soon these 5 beasts caused chaos in the land, multiplying by many means and killing everything i thier path. God saw this and sent a group of warriors to slay them. he, however, allowed those born of these beasts to remain because of one thing, many of them were born with souls which ment even they could be saved from their darkness, and many were. centuries latter, the decendents of these beasts remain, some good, some bad, but their curse remains. their are five types of vampire with abilietes that depend on their disposition. they are as followed.
necros: these vampires are decended from the necromancer. these vampire look human except for their pale skin and red eyes. they are extremly sesitive to sun light and if precautions arent taken their skin can actualy be burned by it. they have high iq's and are usualy very brilliant. they have the ability to bite people and take control of them for short periods of time, they can also use this on corpses to create and control ghools, undead minions, though those in this race who are good dont use this ability as it greatly disrespects the dead. more powerful versions of these clan can even raise and control the dead without biteing them, giveing somthing of an army of zombies.
whites: this race are deceded from the which and have the ability to read minds. they can also use telepathy and even create illusions. they can also use telechenisis to move objects. they look like normal humans but are alergic to silver.
war recs: this race are decended from the warlock. they have the ability to summon and control hollows and other corupted beings. they also have the ability to manipulate fire and some other elements. those who becomes extremly strong can even create flames inside their bodies safly or use fire to heal themselves. they have a human appearence but do not drink blood to sastain themselves. they can do it however to inhance their abilites. they are unable to swim and when they come into contact with water become partialy if not completley paralyzed. due to this they rarly go over large bodies of water.
prills:those decended of the priest. they have the ability to change shape into almost anything, though wolves, bats, and insects are their specialty. their true forms however are extremly hideous and their for they almost always stay in a humanoid form unless provoked to change. they also seem to be able to control other animals they take the form of at a certain level. unless they are on good terms with God and Christ and are saved, crosses ward them away and holy water is like acid to them. they also can not enter a church or step on holy ground.
siphens: these are decended from the sorceror. they have many abilites the others poccess but are few in number. their exact weaknesses very but they are by far the strongest of the clans. they are concedered nobility in the world of vampires and are either respected, or hated byut always feared. they usualy keep a young human form but somtimes let their age show. they are as strong as vasto lords and take pride in their culture. many of them despise the soul society and humanity for verying reasons.
all the races have greater strengh, speed, agilty, excedra, and far stronger senses. the necro's poccess blood vision which lets them see for long distances while the prills have a simalar abilty that lets them detect heart beats and blood flow. high level vampires can also fly without wings and it is possable for them to drink blood without converting the vistem into a vampire and without killing them. animals bitten by certain races can even mutate into monsters. hollow blood is fatal to many of the races and for corupt vampires the blood of a christian can be anywhere from sour to fatal depending on sercamstances. also all races but prills have increased rates of healing when under moon light and some are even directly healed by it.

Mascherato: The Mascherato are Quincy that have gained the use of Hollow Powers, much like the Vizard. The Mascherato were originally going to be included in the Manga of the series, but were scrapped before publication. In an interview with Tite Kubo, Kubo described the Mascherato as "A very anti-social type". He originally planned to make only a select few appear in Bleach, and commented they are very dark and mostly have gothic or emo attire on. Mascherato are weaker than Vizard, but have more abilities available. Usually when a Quincy turns into a Mascherato, it is through immense loss and sadness, something which must be kept during their Hollowfication. When a Mascherato Dons there mask, it is usually formed as if that Mascherato is just changing into a Hollow, it sprouts out from there face and forms, however some Mascherato already have there masks on all the time, just like the Vizard. After a Mascherato changes, they usually gain a weapon made from there Reiutsu manifesting into a solid state. These weapons are usually in the forms of Scythes etc. Another ability the Mascherato have is something Kubo described as the "Quincy Final Form 2.0", he mentioned that no Senrei Glove is needed but the users mask must be active. He described the transformation by stating that: "...when worn, the user's mask would seemingly come to life, sprouting legs or tendrils for example. The Mascherato will also gain markings all over there body, as well as wings that sprout from there back, made from the Mask bone itself. The wings cannot make a Mascherato fly, but increase speed greatly, while the legs, tendrils etc can be used to climb high places. Kubo also mentioned that once this form is activated, the user loses all reasoning, but once it has de-activated, there is no permanent loss of Quincy power, as in the Final Form." Mascherato tend to dive into learning dark attacks, and can pull them of like any Kidó spell. Kubo mentioned some of these dark arts could be for example detaching there shadow and using it as an ally or 'melting' into the ground, and reappearing elsewhere. When asked if Tite Kubo would introduce the Mascherato, he simply said: "I have thought about it, but for now, I'd rather keep them in there home, the Abandoned Mines."

Mascherato: A race of quincy who have developed hollow powers. (not to be confused with transers.) The most common way Mascherato come into bing is when, during a time of great anger, sadness, etc., a quincy goes through hollowfication and the hollow powers enter into them. This can occur in may ways, such as a large amount of hollow type spirit energy entering into the quincy's body, a quincy being attacked and nearly slain by a hollow during such a time of negative emotion, or a quincy nearly becomeing a hollow.
Personalites: While this doesn't apply to all Mascherato, most are very anti-social, emo, goth etc. and don't like to interact with the outside world very often. Most actualy feel more at home in huceo mundo with hollows then in the real world with humans. They do socialize with each other but aren't as close as some other races are. Not all mascherato are like this however, but due to their limited numbers (only around 20 or so exsist in the entire world) it is hard to tell how many aren't. They hate soul reapers due to what happened to quincy, and hate vizards due to their up beat attitudes and that they can control their hollow powers more effectivly then mascherato. they seem to have no problems with arrancar but also rarely interact with them due to them have soul reaper powers. They greatly dislike transers and call them "the lucky ones" because of the number of abilites and amount of control they can have. Also, they are envious of the fact that transers can combine their quincy and hollow powers as well as they do. Some have even lost their faith in God and christ but still believe in them. this includes only part of the mascherato however, but a exact number is unknown.
Powers: Mascherato pocess both hollow and quincy powers. The puincy powers are more dominent but only by a small amount. They pocess the same reisha control that all quincy do but many have walked away from the use of bows and now use weapons such as scythes, lances, swords and other such weapons. Many, however, have lost their faith in God and due to this, have caused their spirit energy to become dark, and negativly influenced. They also more often then not learn and use dark attacks and spells simalar to kido and also have developed unique items and accesories for battle. They pocess a number of duel powers (hollow and quincy) as well, including the hollow arms ability they share with transers, which allows them to absorb, purify, and shape the spirit energy of a strong, fallin hollow or hollow being into a weapon they can use at anytime. they don't however, pocess the ability to use these weapons to amplify or focus their hollow powers into forms or attacks like transers do. they also have control over cero blasts after training for some time, and can call their hollow masks to amplify their powers just like the vizards. many also have their own unique hollow power simalar to a hollow's. Example:screchers leaches, the madusa hollows control spores,(the one orihime first fought), etc. These unique powers can only be used though when a mascherato dounes their mask. Also, mascherato absorb a small portion of power from every hollow being they defeat, causeing them, over time, to grow stronger and stronger. their quincy powers often purify this extra power but if too much is absorbed then the quincy powers can't purify it adding to the more negative hollow energy within the mascherato. this power is purified over time though on most occasions. It should also be noted that when a mascherato dones their mask, the mask appears in the same manner as in a normal hollow transformation. this means the mask is secreted from the pours on the face, the mouth, and the eyes. the mascherato also pocess their own unigue quincy final form but don't lose their powers as a side effect. this "hollow mode" is very different from the normal final form in many ways, however. In this form, the white substances that the mask is made from spreads to different parts of the body where it can creat anything from wings to claws or even tentacles or extra limbs. A hollow hole also appears somewhere on the mascherato's torso and the mask seems to come alive. While in this state the mascherato gains amazing power, but loses control and become more hollow like. The longer they stay in this form the more they lose themselves to their hollow powers and the harder it becomes to turn back to normal. How long a mascherato can stay in this form safely differs depending on circumstances.
(if you have any questions pm me.)

Rebeldo Hueco (rebelous hollow): More commonly refered to as simply rebeldo, are a race of arrancar who were born from soul reapers. When a soul reaper developes hollow powers they also develope an inner hollow who is their polar opposite. if such a soul reaper subdues this inner hollow, then they take control of their hollow powers. Rebeldo, however, are born when the inner hollow manages to overcome and subdue the soul reaper and the spirit of the soul reaper's zanpakuto. at this point they become a total hollow for a breif time (usualy just minutes or seconds, and then become an arrancar. After this thier appearence is almost that of a normal arrancar with only a few difference such as their eyes are the classic black and yellow collors and they some time have unusual makings.
Personality: the personality of rebeldo differ from one to the other, but are most commonly the polar opposite of the soul reaper's who they were born from. They don't like to be controled by anyone and most commonly work alone, though some will banned to gether for various reasons or follow someone far stronger them them in hopes of gaining power.
Powers: Rebeldo have many powers to speak of from their soul reaper and hollow powers, and use them both together just for kicks. They often like to show off their soul reaper powers, which they feel they have earned for defeating their original selves, they arn't afraid of useing their hollow powers though, and will often use them both simultaniously. Soul reaper powers: They pocess the ability to use not only kido, flash step, and other such powers, but also the releases of their original forms zanpakuto. this includes shikai and bankai (if the soul reaper had it). It should be noted, however, that if the inner hollow takes over before the soul reaper has aquired either release, then it is nearly immposable for the rebeldo to gain them. Due to this, most inner hollows wait until their soul reaper has at least gained the basics of bankai before attempting to take over. Their is still a slight posability of a rebeldo developing their releases after changing, but this is extremely difficult and dangerous as this might give the soul reaper a chance to overcome the inner hollow. Hollow powers: Rebeldo are able to use all the same powers as an arrancar, including cero blasts, and even have their own version od the arrancar release that restores thier full hollow powers and gives them a form simalar to their original hollow forms. Arrancar seal this extra power into a zanpakuto, but rebeldo do not, instead keeping it inside of them until needed. They can call on their full hollow masks at will and by by doing so, release their full hollow powers and take on their hollow form. this form is usualy somewhat human shaped but only enough for the rebeldo to use their zanpakuto in battle. A rebeldo is at it's strongest when useing it's hollow release and it's zanpakuto release, especialy bankai if it is avaliable.

Summoner: Summoners have been around for about as long as there have been hollows raoming the Hueco Mundo. Summoners are humans gifted with their powers before their birth. These powers come from the combination of bount and human energies. Summoners usually will have one human and one bount parent or one of the parents might be a Summoner themself. Usually Summoners don't look any different from the people around them. However if a Summoner has gray eyes it means they have a strong connection to the Hueco Mundo and they can summon stronger creatures than normal Summoners. Summoners summon up hollows from the hueco Mudo and will take control of them or convinve them to serve/help them. Once a hollow has a Summoner Master they are pledged to them for eternity even if they become an arrancar. A summoner can have a maximum of 20 hollows under his control at once however most Summoners only have about five or six at a time. Mainly because they have to keep track of the hollows in the many places and realms they go and keeping your mind on 20 hollows is difficult even for the most expirienced Summoners. It's rare to find more than one Summoner within 10 miles of another because only one child will usually get the power. However on occasion more than one child will recieve the power and when the two or three are near their powers increase and ther hollows become stronger.
Low-Level Hollows: These are very easy to control and Summoners will use them for practice or they might summon them for fun as children. Some young Summoners have also been known to summon low-level hollows for protection against something as little as a bad dream to something as bad as a murderer in the house. Also if a Summoner doesn't have enough energy or concentration to summon up a big hollow they will summon smaller ones. Young Summoners usually work will these hollows.
Medium-Level Hollows: More advanced because these require mind control. For a Summoner to control a low-level it takes nothing but usually asking them but medium-levels minds have to be taken over for a certain period of time before they will obey. Sumners will work with these as a way to increase their concentration.
High-Level Hollows: Very difficult to control and stubborn. Older Summoners or prodigies will go for these ones or even jsut thrill-seekign Summoners. It takes a lot of skill, talent, luck and concentration to keep these hollows under control and in line. If you can master summoning up a high-level hollow them you're considered a Master Summoner.
Menos: Only Summoner prodigies can summon up Menos. And unless it's a mindless Menos or one that wishes for someone to lead it Menos are no joke when it comes to controlling. A sUmmoner will usually have to fight the Menos and at least knock it down before it will obey. It takes tewenty-times as much concentration to control a Menos than it does a high-level hollows and it's eighty times more difficult than a low-level hollow. But once a Summoner has a Menos under his/her control then other Menos will just join in fear of the leader Menos.
Arrancar: If one of the hollows under the control of a Summoner somehow becomes an arrancar they usually do not leave their Master's side. Summoners will give the arrancar a choice to leave or stay and most pick stay. They protect their Master even more than they would have as a hollow but they cannot protect them as well as the Menos unless they had been a Menos before their transformation. They act as bodyguards and someone friends to their Master. Summoner Arrancar, as they're called, are very different from normal arrnacar with their behavior, their personality, basically everything. They do have Zanpaktou but thier names contain the Master's name. For example if the master's name is Ame (rain) then the Zanpaktou will be called Egui-Ame (harsh rain).
Prodigies: Being a Summoner prodigy doesn't mean you developed your powers over night. It means you had anatural talent and you worked hard enough to be able to summon a Menos. To be considered a prodigy is even better than being a Master Summoner. The strongest level of the Summoner Rank it's a great honor to be called a prodigy. Right now only seven prodigies are known to exist. There were nine but two were killed.
Weapons: A Summoners gratest weapons are their fingers and their minds. A Summner must only snap to summon up a hollow. Depending on the amount of spirit energy they use determines what level the hollow will be. They use their minds to control, keeep track f and communicate with their hollows. Most Summoners can summon a group of four hollows at a time and can make them dissapear in a moment's notice to protect them from an unavoidable attack.
If the hollows are killed the Summoner will live on however if the Summoner is killed the hollows they controlled will die as well. No one knows why this happens the way t does but they believe it's something to do with the mind link between the Master and the hollow. A Master can cut the link as a hollow is dieing but only prodigies can cut their own links before they die and set their hollows free again. If the link is not cut by the Master the hollows die because they lose part of their mind and it causes them to die.
Ranks: Summoners have ranks based on their powers an abilities
Young Summoners: These ones can only summon low-level hollows. If they are on their way to becoming a prodigy they can summon medium-level hollows as well. They have trouble concentrating hard enough to control hollows and their energy hasn't developed yet.
Sumners: The name is shortened for this group. Said like sum-ner. They will work with medium-levels and low-levels but mediums first. They work hard on their concentrationa nd will sometimes not pay attention to their energy levels. These ones are usually stupid teenagers. They don't concentrate their energy and then they wonder why they can't summon the right level hollows.
Master Summoners: These are the Summoners who can summon up high-level hollows. They pay attention to how much energy they use and they only focus on their mind-control once the hollow is in front of them. The two lower levels of hollows immediate obey these Summoners due to their status and their power.
Prodigies: With the strongest power and the most honor of the Summoners, these ones aren't to be messed with. Amazing energy control, focus, concentration, and summoning ability is what they have. It takes years to aquire this status and most Summoners give up when they cannot reach it. The seven that have reached this level worked hard to get where they are. Prodigies are reveared by hollows and high-levels down to low-levels will follow them as soon as they are summoned. Menos still give them a hard time though.
Three of the seven prodigies have learned how to place hollow spirits into objects which makes them able to just throw the object and summon them instantly. This allows the prodiges to have more than 5 hollow under their control at one time since they don't have to worry about where they are.
