History: (Note: 946 words/750+ needed for high ranks)
Taishi was a strong man in life. He desired power and with hard work and a strong resolve, he become a great and powerful warrior. He was undefeated in battle. His impressive winning streak had awarded him a key position in the Japanese government. He was getting everything that he wanted: Wealth, Fame, Power, and a beautiful wife. Unfortunately it was all taken from him in an instant. One night, Taishi was killed in his sleep and his wife was kidnapped. Taishi became a soul who was so angry with his weakness and inability to protect him wife. He was so angry and filled with regret that his rage transformed him into a hollow.

The first thing he did as a Hollow was to get vengence with his murderers. He found them and consumed their soul. However he still felt emptiness, he felt that something was missing. His pain continued to cause him to suffer. Therefore he consumed countless human souls to quell his anguish. He was confronted by a dozen shinigami over the years and had consumed the souls of each of them in turn. His hunger however was not satisfied by human souls alone, so he started eating other hollows and his power began to grow.

His bounty grew, as did his power. One day after eating hundreds of other Hollows, he evolved into a Menos Grande. Remarkably, he kept his personality and sense of individuality. He possessed incredible power and defeated two dozen more shinigami. Then he returned to Hueco Mundo, realizing that nothing good would come of staying on Earth any longer. Either he would be defeated by a high-level soul reaper or he would lose his sense of individuality and devolve back into a regular Gillian-class Menos. He began to eat other Menos and developed a sweet tooth for them. They were not only much more delicious than ordinary hollows but they increased his strength at a much faster rate then he ever could on Earth. After eating hundreds of Menos he evolved into an Adjuchas. As an Adjuchas his power reached a new tier of strength. He became the strongest Adjuchas in the 'basement' of Huecro Mundo. However, he wasn't satisfied.

He wanted more. By traveling to the surface of Hueco Mundo and devouring other Arrancar, his power great at a tremendous rate. Eventually after eating over 50,000 Adjuchas, he evolved. He became what is known as a Vasto Lord. His power was so great that he could cause Hueco Mundo to shake with his reiatsu alone. Taishi wasn't sure if it was greed or what but he still wasn't satisfied. He felt a greater purpose, a higher calling. He believe with all of his heart(metaphorically speaking as hollows don't have a heart) that his destiny was beyond all hollows or shinigami. He ate other Vasto Lord's to gain even more power.

One day, a Vizard named Kensei took over Hueco Mundo. His throne was located in Las Noches. He used the Hōgyoku to convert Menos-level Hollows into Arrancar. He tested it first with weaker hollows but they were imperfect/incomplete Arrancar who did not possess anywhere near the level of strength that full-fledged Arrancar had. He chose 10 of the strongest Arrancar to be his Espada and live with him in Las Noches. Taishi was one of the Hollows converted into Arrancar. In fact he was created to be the Most Powerful Arrancar In All Of Creation. Taishi hid his reiatsu and Kensei didn't realize his potential and assumed Taishi to be failure/failed project and neglected to make him an Espada. Little did Kensei or the other Espada knew but two of the Espada that went to Earth were defeated and eaten by Taishi, increasing his power.

When Kensei took 5 Espada and went to Soul Society for the Grand War, Taishi was left at Hueco Mundo and so were the 3 strongest Arrancar. He challenged the first Espada and killed him. He claimed his prize by eating the 1st Espada. His strength had increased inconcievably. Kensei eventually returned and was shocked to find that his second-in-command was killed by some unknown arrancar that wasn't even a member of his Espada. Before Kensei could question him, Taishi launched a devastating Cero at Kensei causing a massive explosion. Believing him to be dead, Taishi began to celebrate his victory. It was short-lived however as Kensei was very much alive and the two began an Epic Battle. The battle seemed evenly matched that is until Kensei decided to fight seriously. At that point the gap in strength became noticable. Kensei had the upperhand. Taishi then released his Zanpaktou and initiated his Ressurection form. In this form the tide of battle quickly shifted. Taishi's power was Insane and mind-boggling! He was overpowering Kensei and forcing him on the defensive. Causing the Espada to be shocked beyond belief because not even the former 1st Espada had the power to do that even in his released form. Kensei was impressed and surprised himself but he had enough and put on his hollow mask. Suddenly his Reiatsu became so immense that it brought all the Espada to their knees. Then he phased in front of Taishi and mind-boggling speed and unleashed his Gran Rey Cero and fired it directly at Taishi at point-blank Range!!! The blast was so devastating it nearly destroyed Las Noches! Taishi was seriously wounded on the floor and couldn't move. He was completely covered in blood and reverted back to base form. He said, "Impressive, that blast would of instantly vaporized the former-1st Espada even if it wasn't fired point-blank. You are strong, I will give you that.From hereforth you are known as the 1st Espada and you will live here with me and the rest of the Espada at Las Noches!"

Not too long after. The new 1st Espada, Taishi, aroused a rebellion that shook Las Noches to its foundations. In the midst of the confusion and chaos, Kensei had disappeared and most of the Arrancar have forgotten about him(Kensei). Taishi took over as the new leader and reformed his own Espada with the strongest Arrancar and personally trained them to be more powerful than the old Espada. Taishi himself became much more powerful then he ever dreamed possible. He finally had achieved his goals or had he? Believe it or not, he did not stop there. He wanted to kill the Soul King, eat his soul and become the most powerful being on Earth, Hueco Mundo, Soul Society, Soul King's Domain, and The Underworld. He wanted to become an unstoppable Deity, the new Soul King. To accomplish this he needed the king's key.
