Character source: OC, Bleach
Character history:
Serraph Quarrere was born in 1935 in London. As a young boy he spent his time down by the local library, diving his mind into the depths of its oldest tomes. There was nothing he didn't want to know. No knowledge was trivial to him. By the time the second world war broke out, he had became the librarian's assistant, responsible for fetching, returning, and organizing the vast collection of books that dwell there. There were some books he was forbidden to read however, but not entirely kept from doing so. Despite his longing to do so, he obeyed his superior. However when the bombs fell upon London, he saw this as a chance to take the slightest peek inside these banned texts while everyone else seemed to flee to the shelters. As he pulled the thick, dust covered scripture from the shelf a nearby detonation caused the tall bookshelf collapse atop of him, ending his life as a human forever.
His spirit however simply couldn't move on, bound to the library ruins he remained until his own chains tore his heart, his love apart as the once grand library was remade into something entirely. At first rage was the trigger of this transformation, Giving him a rather beastly form for a Hollowified soul, but his hunger was targeted less on those who destroyed his death-place, but those who became sources of knowledge for mankind. For a century he spent his time kidnapping a wide variety of people ranging from Historians, Scientists, to even sources of entertainment such as Poets or Scriptwriters. To Hueco Mundo he'd steal them, gleaning every morsel of knowledge from their dying bodies before devouring them. His tastes grew more and more broad. Nothing was safe. Other Hollows became targets, sparking his evolution to among the Menos Grande. His time as an Gillian was more of a feeding frenzy than gathering of knowledge but in the end his personality would gain control, transforming him into the less numerous Adjuchas. In this form he regained his thirst for knowledge and curiosity for all things, but lost his knowledge of himself and everything up to that point. Such emptiness drove him forward until he was approached by the leader of the second Generation of Espada led by the former Third Espada, Tia Halibel. Under her guidance and those she had collected so far, his transition from Hollow to Arrancar was rather simple.
Now as a more humanoid figure, he lost most of his hunger for the souls of the dead, allowing him to turn to his more curious side for satisfaction. But then again he could not be satisfied, as his Aspect of Death was Curiosity. Forever he would be curious, with each door opened he would encounter several more. His task as the Eighth Espada was to create, maintain, and guard Los Noches's, the Espada's base of operations, library. To this end, despite his lower rank among Tia's knights, he held the power to request acquisitions of various Human or even Shinigami texts to be brought home to Los Noches. This was the price of having a broad array of knowledge on hand. Those ranking outside the Espada however, could not decline his summons or missions.
He wasn't the most popular of the group, but Serraph, as he called himself now, forced them all in his own way to recognize his importance. After all without that recognition, he would be weeded out and destroyed by the stronger members. In the end, it would seem it was all in vain, as the smiling one would reach out with his almighty hand and pluck him from his library in los Noches... but... this wasn't so bad. In this new realm, he would recognize that this place held infinite possibilities, he'd just have to start looking.
Physical Description: (originals only)
Serraph Quarrere looks rather young considering his age. He appears to be in his late teens with a short height about 5'3". If one were to look at him the first color that comes to mind would most likely be white as he sports rather long white hair, grey eyes and pale skin. But this is to be expected given his composition. His skin is about as strong as paper, probably because his body is composed of layers upon layers of paper like materials. This is where he stores his knowledge, written in minuscule lines of text over the inside of his body. If one were to cut him, he does not bleed blood, but rather ink instead. His Hollow hole, a literal hole somewhere among the body symbolizing the hollowfied heart, is located upon his lower neck
