Crowe is a vagabond of an Arrancar looking for a place in the world. Four hundred years as a Hollow and another thirteen as an Arrancar have muted his senses and made him lose all touch with all other races apart from his new one. Crowe is contantly at odds with the creature he is become, consuming Hollows as little as needed and seemingly afraid of the monster that he is now, without a doubt. He is withdrawn, quiet and it would only take a glance to see the anxiety that seeps from his very soul. However, inside Crowe lies the great potential of a comrade, if only he can step out of his own shadow of doubt and fear.
He joined those stationed at Los Noches five years ago, when the mighty castle lay in ruins. Along with the others who called the fortress home, Crowe paid a large part in the rebuilding of the icon and felt pride in his work. However, with the arrival of the New Arrancar and the Espada that have claimed control, Crowe's issues with the ruling class have lead to him consider a new path that takes him away from his new path - perhaps on a collison course with other races.
Crowe Starazo, his situation for now
For now, Crowe has left his post at Los Noches and is reconsidering his place within the Arrancar ranks. Thoughts of rebellion against the new Espada has risen in his mind, but this is outweighed by his lack of confidence, and even greater lack of allies. This is not helped by the fact that he is finally growing comforable with his Hollow nature - however, he worries that his 'humanity' (or at least what he feels is humanity) will fade once he begins to consume Hollows for sport, not just out of necessity.
He wishes to finally return to the human world and see how the world has changed - he knows the Shinigami have been hit hard by the Plague, and believes them to be no threat. Encountering a Shinigami, or Quincy would do much to shape Crowe as to the many threats in the world.
Crowe Starazo, and the other races
Shinigami - When Crowe joined Los Noches, he feared the power of the Shinigami that he learnt from the other Arrancar and Hollow that inhabited the castle - however, now that he knows that the Plague has decimated their numbers and reduced their forces outside their base of operations, Crowe no longer has a deep-set fear of encountering ones. Views them rather neutrally, but as an Arrancar, has an in-built reluctence to encounter one.
Quincy - Knows little of the Quincy, but understands they are little more then powerful humans, and remains rather neutral of them.
Humans - Reluctant to encounter humans, as he fears he will grow to love to consume them, striking away any 'humanity' or 'good' that Crowe believes still lurks within him, even if that is just a lie that he tells himself. Neutral on them as a species, would rather avoid.
What Crowe is looking for, and what he can offer
For humans, Crowe would most likely be little more then a monster seeking out prey, fighting what his very base urges try and force him to do. For more powerful humans, who would see Crowe as a true threat, he may find himself some kind of rival, or perhaps something deeper as Crowe's status as an Arrancar evolves. After all, just because nature wills things to be one way, does not make it so.
For Quincy, Crowe will be at odds with The Order, due to his hatred of ruling classes in all ways. If he learnt of The Order, he would abhor the very ideals of the Quincy leaders; if he became involved, it would pit him against those who support it, but perhaps find allies and comrades who also stand against the Order, regardless of race.
For Shinigami, due to the nature of their races, Crowe will find himself in conflict. Where there was fear at their overwealming forces, Crowe now takes comfort in the fact that the Plague has wiped out much of their numbers; however, an encounter with a Shinigami could shatter all his beliefs in what they are, and what they have become after the Plague, as he has yet to ever meet one.
In regards to Arrancar and Hollow, Crowe feels there are three camps, which may overlap. Those who take their fate into the own hands. Those who bow and follow the Espada. And those who are little more then beasts. Crowe seeks the companionship of those of the former, but finds his beliefs and views contrasted by those of the other camps. Those who bow to the Espada are seen by Crowe as little more then pawns, and everything he hates.
Overall, Crowe can offer the following things to potential threads:
This is just a basic outline of Crowe's thoughts (as of this post) in regards to the other races. I'd love to thread with any of them, however! Just because it says here little might come of it, that's the magic of threading, things can change and go in directions none of it's participants expected from the start.
So feel free to post here, or hit me up on the Discord server, if you want to set up a thread with me, and I'm sure we'll be able to work one thing out or another!

Overall, Crowe can offer the following things to potential threads:
- An encounter with a different kind of Arrancar - one that does not quite understand or know what kind of monster he really is, and is on the precipice of a higher state of being... or madness.
- A comrade for those who are oppressed by authority, and a rival to those who organise and lead said authority.
- A chance to make an impression on an Arrancar who knows little of the outside world - as of this post, Crowe has never encountered any race outside of the Hollow-breeds.
- Combat against one who has at least a notable amount of strength, but no formal training of how to properly aim his power.
- And most importantly, and most likely to apply to fellow Arrancar - allies that Crowe can trust his madness with, train with, and grow connections with as he begins to understand his true place in the world.
