It occurred to me that my OC Arrancar Xenethis Chimera wasn't named after a Japanese phrase or object. Chimera speaks for itself, its the mythological beast that was formed of various other vicious animals, such as lions, birds and even insects like scorpions.

Xenethis on the other hand, I made up on the spur of the moment. It just sounded kind of cool. Realising that I could have accidentally named him any number of stupid or insulting things by accident, I decided to look it up.

Turns its a Latin name for a really creepy looking spider.

I then began to realise how relevant his name was to his position and those around him. Take Tier Harribel and her Fraccion. Each are based on an animal of sort (Shark, Deer, Lioness and Snake), but they don't have an insect in their group. Now while Xenethis' abilities in no way reflect a spider, in some case his character does. He's a natural predator, kills without mercy, and prefers to remain in the shadows than rise to a new seat of power like the Espada, even though he easily could. Plus, the Chimera in his name can relate to the Quimera Parca technique that Apacci, Mila-Rose and Sun-Sung share.

...I think I made my character fit in without even realising that? I gotta say I impressed myself with skills (aka my complete blind luck)

Anyway, in other news, after taking parts in a few roleplays with I decided that I really wanted to flesh Xenethis out in a story, plus there are tones of relationships and scenarios I want to write about.

So yeah, Xenethis Chimera is getting his own fanfiction, and no it won't be a Sue-Fest. I read some really great fanfics where Arrancar OC's and even Ichigo become high ranking Arrancar and manage to kick the ever loving crap out of the Espada and till make time to develop character and make it seem believable. That's what I'm aiming for with this fic.
