Espada (, Esupada; Spanish for "Sword", Japanese for "Ten Blades"): are the top-ranked Arrancar, in Las Noches,
Exequias (Ekusekiasu; Spanish for "Funeral Rites", Japanese for "Funerary Attacking Force") ; They are responsible for dealing with rebels and intruders in Las Noches, usually terminating both hence their name. They appear to be the Arrancar equivalent of Soul Society's Onmitsukido.The Espada, much like with the Números, seem to have a level of control over the Exequias
Privion Espada: former Espada who have officially lost their rank and are assigned a three-digit number. Being former Espada, they are far stronger than the normal Números
Fracción (Furashion; Spanish for "Fraction", Japanese for "Subordinate Officers") : are a subsection of the Números that directly serve a specific Espada. The number of fracción for any given Espada varies. The fracción are all fiercely loyal to their respective Espada masters (due the the latter's impressive amount of power),
Numerous ( numerosu; Spanish for "Numbers", Japanese for "Number Holders") : the combat specialists in the army of Arrancar. The Números are assigned a two digit number at birth from 11 to 99 to indicate their age (Número 11 is the oldest, Número 99 is the youngest). The fighting ability of the Números is thought to be superior to all other arrancar, except for the Espada (current and former). The strongest Números are chosen by the Espada to become their Fracción. {(Will not be listed due to the sheer number of them, though if I have the will I may list them)
These are the current ranks of the Espada. The 3 highest Espada have a authority over every other Arrancar, and also have a right to demote the other Espada to the Privion ranks.

How to get a rank
1. Post here asking for the rank you want, if your applying for an espada position, send me a role-play sample or ask me to look through previous posts.
2. If your challenging for a higher rank you must post here and pm the person, also a higher ranking espada will be assigned the judge, to make sue the fights fair.
3. Privion ranks are only open for espada that hace been demoted or lost to a lower ranking member.
But if you really want the privion rank without becoming an espada, you must have a detailed history including how you lost your espada position in your character app.
4. All Espada, I trust you to be active and fair. Have fun.
