Luppi Antenor/Expanded Universe

was the Sexta (6th) Espada in Sōsuke Aizen's army, having temporarily replaced Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez before his death at the latter's hands. He was later resurrected by Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Appearance
Luppi is a male Arrancar with youthful, but effeminate, features. He possesses short, curly though unevenly cut black hair and lavender eyes. Just above his left eyebrow is a row of three pink stars. The remains of his Hollow mask, which consist of a top row of teeth, rest atop the left side of his head. His Espada tattoo is prominently displayed on his right hip. However, the location of his Hollow hole is unknown. After being revived by Mayuri, Luppi has two stitched up lines running vertically down his face over both of his eyes.

Luppi wears a variation of a typical Arrancar outfit. His attire consists of a long-sleeve shirt, enough to cover and cloak his hands. Luppi's shirt has an opening on the left side of his body, just below his arm, allowing him to place his Zanpakutō within it. In addition, there are two large square-like holes on the bottom portion of his shirt that reveal his left and right abdomens. Luppi finishes his outfit with a white hakama, black sash, black tabi socks and a pair of low-heeled open-toe shoes.

Personality
Luppi is rather arrogant, insulting Grimmjow for his lowered rank and boasting constantly when in battle. He mocks his enemies by saying "Sorry!" in a sarcastic tone after insulting somebody, as well as by licking his lips and noting the odds against his enemies out loud (i.e. 4-on-8).

In battle, Luppi is unsatisfied with fighting opponents that pose no challenges to him, going so far as to invite multiple opponents to attack him simultaneously during his battle in Karakura Town. Luppi also likes toying with his opponents in battle, especially if he doesn't consider them a threat. He is easily irritated, however, rising to the simplest of taunts. He is a bit lewd, commenting on Rangiku's breasts, but almost immediately afterwards, he threatened to kill her. He is clearly vengeful, as when the mission was over and he was still alive after Tōshirō Hitsugaya's attack, he vowed to the young captain that he'd be back to kill him.

Luppi and Gin Ichimaru, on the other hand, are on good terms, as Gin comments about being lonely after Luppi's death, citing the fact that the two often spoke. Though in an omake, after Gin makes a friendly comment on it, Luppi gleefully denies this fact, much to Ichimaru's dismay.

Powers & Abilities
Great Spiritual Power: As the former sexta Espada, Luppi possesses a great amount of Reiryoku. In addition, he is capable of easily fending off three lieutenant-level Shinigami and a captain during the initial stages of the Espada's second invasion of Karakura Town. After being resurrected and receiving further enhancements, Luppi's Reiatsu increased to the point that it was capable of intimidating both Candice and Meninas. Luppi's Reiatsu is Pink.

Toxic Blood: As a part of his modifications, Mayuri Kurotsuchi added several of his own drugs to Luppi's bloodstream, including one that paralyzes anyone on contact.
