Monzaemon, Kawatake – Thread Weaver

General Data

Name: Monzaemon, Kawatake. Nickname/Alias: Kawa; Watake; Thread Weaver. Gender: Male. Age: 27. Age Appearance: 25. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Birthplace: Land of Wind. Organization: Kabuki Branch. Position: Kabuki Branch Head/Spokesman. Clan: Monzaemon. Rank: A Rank shinobi. Chakra Nature: Earth, Lightning and Yang. History: Having grown up in the clan alongside his elder brother, Uemura, Kawatake was not born with even a fraction of the talent that he is recognized for today. In fact, for the majority of his childhood he was considered weak and without talent, so as a form of rebellion Kawatake decided to learn the Kabuki arts rather than the Bunraku that his mother, father, and brother practiced. Still he only held minute skills even there, but it was better than nothing for while he had not gained much from his parents' teachings he had learned dedication. It was thus through his dedication that he came to, largely behind closed doors, master his skills. When he saw his uncle's idealistic nature he looked up to him, but the man had crossed a line. The Monzaemon did not consort with those outside the Land of Wind, barely dealing with those within it outside of their circle, and as such the man needed to die. When Uemura approached him with a proposition to deal with their wayward uncle and his supporters, he immediately complied, agreeing wholeheartedly that something had to be done. As such, the two prepared in secret, learning one another's techniques for the sake of familiarity. Finally it came time for the operation and, having gathered several others, Kawatake set out to eliminate any and all loyalists, with great success. When he arrived back and saw Uemura still fighting he was the only one there not confused. Afterall, his brother had taken many hits that ought to have killed a man, yet hadn't. Kawatake simply watched and waited with a smile on his face for his brother to emerge victorious. Eventually he did somehow surviving it all against all odds and making his three proclamations to the clan. This was the day that they became the two clan leaders, one to rule and the other to negotiate and keep the peace in the masses. He can hardly believe it was only 8 years ago, but nonetheless it is behind them and he expects the clan to make great leaps and bounds as it is once more in a position to expand. It's going to be an interesting life from here on out. Personality: Kawatake is a man of efficiency and community. He understands the need for trust and loyalty and so he projects such values, even if only sometimes. He prefers to keep any confrontations quick, rather than drawn out, be they violent or simple social disputes. He is a leader at heart, a thinker, a man of understanding, but not one to pardon simply because he sees the logic behind their ways. In Kawatake's eyes what is best, is what serves the group, and even if one day this should require he step down from his place, he would gladly do so. While not considered overly chatty, Kawatake is outspoken, finding it far easier to simply state his opinion rather than remain silent so as to uselessly remain unheard. He has a way of charming people to his side, inspiring them to rise against opposition and conquer obstacles. While not charming, he can be considered earnest, though not quite to a fault. In stark contrast to this he is a cunning man, capable of using deceit, or at least clever word play or illusion to fool those he wishes to into doing what he wants. In this way he may appear manipulative, but his actions are always with only the best intentions, 'cept in combat when he clearly wishes to swiftly end the life of aggressors. While he could be considered brutal in his efficiency in the field, the man has only been called vicious by his enemies and to him this means little. After all, Kawatake believes that to truly know someone you must not simply meet them on the battlefield and cross blades, but also converse and come to truly understand them and how they think. He thinks it an art, and an intuitive skill, to understand a man, or woman, quickly. It is in this way that he may tear down the walls of opposition and hatred, so as to erect the bridge from disparity to the new land, wherein a bright future lies, metaphorically of course. This perhaps reveals one of the strangest things about the speaker, for he is both pragmatist and idealist wrapped into one package. A bizarre combination indeed. Theme: Added later.

Combat Data

Special Traits Skilled in a mixture of ninjutsu and Taijutsu Master of the Chakra Thread Techniques Nigh Perfect Chakra Control Average Chakra pool Agile and Quick ========================================= Techniques: Possesses all E ranked techniques. Canon Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation): Linked to all weaponry and the palms of the user's hands in this case. Chakura no Ito(Chakra Threads) Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique) Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique) Custom Jutsu Name of Technique: Idō chijō no keijō(移動地上の形状 'Shifting Earthly form'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation. Rank: D-B. Range: 19 meters(62 feet). Nature Type: Earth. Handseals: 3. Description: Preforming the three hand seals while quickly visualizing the results of this technique, the user can shift the appearance/form of the earth within a 20 yard hemisphere. This technique is strange in the way that it works as it can only apply 1 shift in form, but within the entire area if the user is able enough, at a time and thus makes it rather limited in nature as at least 5-10 seconds must pass before one can use it again. This technique works by sending off a 'blueprint' using the user's chakra, this 'blueprint' is in the form of an invisible pulse of chakra which thus effects the environment shifting it to the user's will with great speed and effectiveness, though this is variable depending on the skill of the user. Weakness: Depending on the complexity or amount of earth being changed the amount of chakra taken increases or decreases. ==================== Name of Technique: Sentō no jutsu(銭湯の術 'Spire technique'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: D-C. Range: Anywhere as long as his chakra is present. Nature Type: Earth. Handseals: 1, or 1 held. Description: By sending some of his chakra into the ground he can then create spikes from the earth. These spires range in size from that of a needle to the height of 6-8 feet as their maximum. If he wishes to create more than one spire at a time he holds the hand seal so as to create up to 12 spires in rapid succession. Following this he cannot create more spires for 5 seconds. Weakness: The spires can only come from places where his chakra is located. Additionally, if he cannot see the spot where his chakra is going to create one, the accuracy decreases somewhat. ==================== Name of Technique: Doton: Hokyō(土遁：補強 'Earth Release: Reinforcement'). Type of Jutsu: Supplementary Ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: Contact. Nature Type: Earth. Handseals: 5. Description: Making contact with an object, the user can then imbue it with a set amount of earth chakra. As they preform the hand seals the jutsu activates, forcing the earth chakra to move outwards and interconnect making the object(s) more sturdy. With complete mastery the user can easily utilize this on not only small objects and brittle ones, but also to sharpen the object(s) as well by refining the edges and the like. Once active it stays active and takes no more chakra. Once the chakra is present the technique can be reactivated with only the ram hand seal, but it will be half as effective as the first activation. Weakness: Purely supplementary. If deactivated the chakra within the object will half disperse and half remain therein. ==================== Name of Technique: Itoori: Tenteki(糸織り：点滴 'Thread Weaving: Infusion'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Earth and Yang. Handseals: 6. Description: Through the masterful utilization of chakra threads this technique is made possible. First utilizing the initial handseals, after which point chakra threads must be manifested, the user will make contact with objects via their threads and infuse chakra into said objects. This chakra, as long as it is connected to the user directly or indirectly, can be transformed into jutsu via additional handseals. If this technique is used on another individual it can either be used to impart them with chakra restoring their stamina or to paralyze a localized area. Weakness: If contact is lost, the infused chakra will fade slowly over time depending on how much chakra is within the object or material. Activation of infused chakra requires handseals and, at the very least, indirect contact. ==================== Name of Technique: Migotona hairetsu(見事な配列 'Masterful Arrangement'). Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu/kinjutsu. Rank: S. Range: N/A. Nature Type: N/A (in his case, Yang). Handseals: 3. Description: While requiring very few handseals, this technique is of extreme difficulty and is only possible due to Kawatake's mastery of his tenketsu points in addition to base shape-manipulation and the Chakra thread technique. Upon activation the user gains the ability to specifically direct the flow of their chakra out of particular chakra points(tenketsu). While most shinobi are incapable of controlling chakra not emitted from the hands, feet, or mouth, Kawatake has gained this ability by moulding techniques within his body prior to emitting them. As such, he is capable of launching jutsu essentially from any chakra point on his body as long as said point is not blocked. Kawatake, in part, has cheated as he has amplified his body's control over his tenketsu via the yang affinity's amplification capabilities. Weakness: If his tenketsu are blocked or his chakra is sealed he cannot utilize this technique. Additionally, heavy physical damage in areas can prevent him from emitting chakra there. It is particularly dangerous to mold elemental jutsu prior to them exiting the body due to the difficulty in restraining the elemental effects and activating them at precisely the right moment. The last weakness is noted in that he can damage himself if he releases the wrong jutsu from the wrong place making this a potentially hazardous technique if misused. ==================== Name of Technique: Shinkei no ito(神経の糸 'Neural threads'). Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: 15 meters. Nature Type: Lightning and Yang. Handseals: 8. Description: To execute this technique the user first manifests mundane chakra threads and pours yang chakra into them, preforming the necessary handseals as such is done. Upon the fourth handseal's preparation lightning chakra is poured into the threads. As the lightning chakra passes through the threads the yang chakra creates temporary conductive pathways from the user's nervous system to the threads in the localized area of the technique. The lightning chakra is thus linked in part to the user's nervous system and while sensations other than simple contact are not transferred the user gains the ability to manipulate the threads as if they were a part of their own body. This allows increased versatility and maneuverability of the chakra threads in addition to amplified responses. Weakness: This technique can be incorrectly executed and if it is the threads will feel pain and can overload the nervous system causing the user to pass out. Additionally if the lightning chakra is not handled delicately it can electrocute the user. A first time learned of this technique will have to learn how to manipulate the threads anew as while doing so is somewhat intuitive they have no muscle memory for the action and thus will have trouble doing so. As such manipulating the threads so as to execute precise movements in high-speed or close combat can be difficult even for a master. The threads gain an affinity weakness to water, tending to weaken if they come into contact with it. The flow of lightning chakra can be increased or decreased, but the higher it is the more likely it is to damage the user. In its base state the threads will not shock or stun a target. ==================== Name of Technique: Ito ten'i(糸転移 'Thread transference'). Type of Jutsu: Supplementary shape-manipulation ninjutsu. Rank: D-A. Range: N/A. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 2. Description: A dual purpose technique, Ito ten'i allows the user to transfer chakra through threads from one thread to another in addition to redistributing the chakra within a given thread or altering its solidity. This technique could be considered the general shape-manipulation technique for chakra threads. The secondary application of this technique allows the user to spawn new threads from already established ones though manipulation of them will be somewhat limited as they will move in roughly the same trajectories though several inches apart. A master can utilize this technique to manipulate far more than a mere 10 threads, even separating the threads by feet but synchronizing their movements chakratically so as to appear to control many more threads than they are in truth. Weakness: While allowing for use of far more than 10 threads the technique can decrease the accuracy of the utilized threads in addition to the structural integrity of the threads themselves making them more easily absorbed, disrupted, or destroyed.

The Legion Collective

Nation Sheet

Species: Legion; Legiana or Legianans in their tongue.

Government

Due to the species' now communal mind, the Legion Collective is governed by what one might consider a true democracy. However, rather than vote for officials whom then govern the populace, Legion constantly runs hypothetical situations and relays multiple plans of actions throughout the Collective for mass review. As such all decisions can, more often than not, be considered the directive and intention of the race as a whole no matter their location in relation to one another. However, in addition to their democratic governance, the Legion Collective has established three caste designations. These castes help the Collective maintain a stable number of minds within their communal consciousness. 1st Caste: Individuals within this caste are those who travel off-world to explore, contact and in general interact with what, in Legion's mind, amount to unknown variables. While members of this caste are considered equally important to the Collective as a whole, they have more or less been chosen for their role and accept it in their entirety. These individuals are those who explore new worlds, enter diplomatic relations with other nations, or go into dangerous areas of the galaxy. The 1st caste is the middle class in terms of overall nanite count. 2nd Caste: The second caste is composed of 'swarms' who take part in the mining, harvesting and colonization of planets. This caste is the largest out of all three castes and is responsible for any form of industrialization or construction that does not simply utilize members of Legion as its components. 3rd Caste: The third and smallest caste is made up of both biological and technological members of Legion. These individuals maintain fully colonized worlds, increase the mental population over time, and maintain the psyche of the entire race as a whole. Damage to this caste can damage the entire collective if the 1st caste is wiped out or damaged significantly. A small percentage of the biological individuals in this caste are sometimes utilized as representatives or envoys when interacting with other races, at least in theory since Legion has yet to encounter any new ones since the rather unfortunate incidents of their past.

Military

Legion has no standardized ships due to the nature of their technology. As such, Legion spacecraft cannot truly be designated ship classes until formatted by Legion, unless such is done by size rather than function. Additionally, due to the fluid nature of Legion's technology whatever ship one sees may not remain in the same format for long depending on what resources are available and what is required of said vessel. In terms of infantry and planetary combat, Legion's forces tend not to have any standardized form and must be categorized on a case-by-case basis. The fluidity and naturally synchronous movements of their military make them perhaps one of the most difficult nations to combat should one head down that route. Nonetheless, they do have their own weaknesses, such as the fact that all of their ships are composed of Legion's nanites. Seldom is this not the case thus meaning that the destruction of a single ship is far more costly to them than it would be to other spacefaring races. For further information on their capabilities see their Cultural and Technological Overviews. Examples of Ship Designs that Legion prefers can be seen in the following links: http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2012/087/3/1/dns_vermilion_hope_by_tekka_croe-d4u8cwv.png http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/067/d/3/space_ship_by_funkychinaman-d4s5vaq.jpg http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/216/c/f/ship_by_genjihl-d44l2bl.jpg http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs43/i/2009/138/9/7/Space_Ship_concept_1_by_LucianP.jpg http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2013/130/a/f/koramund_by_mr__jack-d64rode.jpg

Technological Overview

Quantum Mastery: Legion has largely achieved mastery of the quantum realm, giving them dominion, to an extent over its forces and particles, allowing them to utilize a wide variety of incredibly advanced technology. Quantum entanglement relays and teleportation being only a fraction of their capabilities the Legion collective tends to focus on particle weaponry, absorption and/or deconstruction in warfare allowing them to take in different energies or disassemble unshielded matter and then reformat it for their own purposes. Nanites & Nanotechnology: Since the advent of quantum consciousness, Legion has housed itself in the many tiny bodies of nanites and as such have become deeply integrated with the construction of their technology, be it big or small. At their current point of development there are billions upon billions of nanites each of which is commanded by one member of Legion's now collective hivemind-like consciousness. While to some the utilization of nanotechnology and nanites would merely bolster their construction capabilities, they have literally become the absolute standard for the Legion Collective as a people and thus as a nation. Rather than construct large machinery out of larger and bulkier parts, Legion utilizes its own body to skip the construction step that most utilize, composing their machinery, spacefaring and otherwise, with what amounts to their own bodies. In fact, their five completed planets are primarily composed of, or at the least suffused with, Legion's nanites, a process, which naturally took them a great deal of time to accomplish. While there are some exceptions to this rule of nanites=their machinery, these exceptions are few and far between as they are only utilized in situations wherein utilizing the literal members of their species as composite parts would be more dangerous than beneficial regardless to the speed at which the construction would otherwise take place. In conclusion, their nanotechnology in tangent with their mastery of the quantum realm and lower forms such as atomic and molecular manipulation the Legion collective are capable of constructing essentially anything. Legion does tend to avoid the use of anti-matter weaponry or otherwise powered machinery due to the possibility of it violently reacting, and subsequently annihilating, with the nanites that compose their people. Instead of utilizing anti-matter they tend to create friction or sap radiation as a power source through creating what amount to absorption devices from their many tiny nanite bodies. This process is done both to power their ships and to power their industrial machines or any buildings required for their few remaining biological kin. They are not however limited to the absorption of thermal and radiation energy, and can absorb it from just about any source. This means that their weapons of choice also tend to be particle or energy weapons as such is the easiest for them to generate.

Culture and Mentality

Having been integrated with their technology for an extended period of time has somewhat altered the mentality of Legion as a whole, making them very logical and if needed, cold and calculative to a fault. However, Legion is not unnecessary cruel and could be considered a very peaceful entity overall. They prefer to avoid war as it is less beneficial to their race than even to others as the destruction of a single Legion ship means the loss of literally thousands, if not millions, of lives. Despite their consciousnesses, which started biologically, being housed in mechanical constructs and connected by a wireless network facilitated by quantum entanglement relays Legion has an intense appreciation for biological and synthetic life, be it sentient or otherwise. They would rather relocate entire ecosystems from their home planet in order to harvest it, than simply wipe the species out, which would be far more cost effective for them overall. Beyond their peaceful mentality and largely logical tendencies, Legion is, oddly, religious. The Collective actually worships the Architect, the now long dead scientist who brought about their understanding, and subsequent mastery, of quantum consciousness and the many applications gained by being capable of manipulating it. A Biological Member of Legion:

History

Once a biological race like the vast majority in the galaxy, Legion, as they are called, reached a level of technological and biological development wherein they concluded that it would be far more beneficial for their kind to become technologically synthetic, rather than remain in fleshy mortal vessels. So, an individual now only known as the Architect, who was the leading scientist on their home planet, Legianos I, began to explore the possibility of transplanting a consciousness from a biological body into a synthetic construct. After many years the Architect discovered a correlation between a group of quantum particles and consciousness. Having discovered this, the scientist went about isolating these specific particles and experimenting with them in other organisms. It took time, hundreds of years it is said, but the Architect was able to master these particles to an extent, allowing him to recreate, re-localize, or entangle them with structures that they would not have otherwise been related to. While other scientists attempted to transplant brain matter or nerve tissue into a cybernetic body prepared to house and facilitate their continued existence, the Architect could circumvent these methods entirely. All that was necessary was the construction of a system which could properly support and broaden, rather than stunt or limit the capacity of his kind's mental abilities. So while others strove to induce a state of biological immortality, or the considerably more foolish brain transplantation, the Architect began to work on what amounted to a technological, rather than biological, apparatus that could attract, hold, and amplify the quantum aspect of the mind. If he could succeed in this, all aspects linked to the mind's quantum manifestation would follow. It took many decades to go through several prototype stages, testing only on animals possessing various levels of intelligence. With his knowledge of quantum intelligence the Architect eventually managed to construct a device able to warp quantum forces into a new consciousness. Through this method and given much time he managed to mold an advanced artificial intelligence. Having constructed the host body for this consciousness, he began his first attempt to migrate an advanced intelligence from one host to another without any sort of direct interface or physical connection. It worked. With this hurdle conquered the Architect began to extend certain propositions out into the public. His ideas and eventual demonstrations amazed the masses and after five years of debate among their political leaders of the time and what amounted to mutual consensus After much debate the first experiments on their own kind were conducted, and to great success. Gradually more and more of the general populace chose to undergo the process till eventually all but a seldom few had made the transition. Those who did not remained in their biological vessels. This was for the purpose of reproduction beyond anything else, allowing them to continue creating more minds as well as to preserve specimens of their own genetic make-up should something go awry. It was a good thing that some decided as such to because not all of the quantum mind migrations were successful, in fact a large portion of the populace was wiped out either during the process due to incompatibilities, or in post when the apparatus malfunctioned even slightly. Improvements were thus made on the technology, facilitated by the incredibly amplified intellects of their already advanced race. When they transferred their minds to the modified apparatus, which were not only more stable, but much smaller, they amplified their mental abilities to such an extent that their kind went from individuals to a linked collective of mind. This was when the entity, which now calls itself Legion came to be. Over time they acclimated to their newly attained psyche, and in the long run became massively more effective as a community and a species. While some among Legion dissented or defected from the collective, the vast majority of adapted to their new vessels, and from the Great Transition to present have worked towards bettering their species' agenda as a whole. Legion has been space faring for over five-hundred years, though only in the last two-hundred have they developed the technology and mentality, that leads them to believe it is time to come into contact with new races in their galaxy. While this is the case, it is not accurate to call any interaction between the Legion Collective and other species Legion's first alien contact. This is because Legion has encountered several races in the past one-hundred years, sadly their synthetic status has led these now largely extinct races to war out of what amounts to xenophobia or other irrational fears. In lieu of these unfortunate encounters, Legion has since decided to utilize a small portion of their biological brethren as envoys so as to ease the suspicion and worry of whatever species they encounter next, be they biological or otherwise.

Other

Over the two hundred years that Legion has been capable of Interstellar travel they have acquired a total of 24 planets, not including their home planet, Legianos I. Of these worlds only five are fully inhabited by members of both the 2nd and 3rd Castes. Due to Legion's infrequent tendency to truly colonize worlds, the presence of both of these castes is significant as it essentially means that the aforementioned planets are fully colonized expansions from the Legion home world. However, due to Legion tendencies, these colonized worlds can more accurately be referred to as harvested planets. Now, these massive spheres are actually composed of the same nanites that make up the majority of the Legion Collective. Over time the Collective's still biological kin will fill each nanite with consciousness. When the entire planet is sentient the world is considered complete. As such these 4 worlds, and their home world, are the only completed/fully colonized worlds among those Legion has under its sway. Legianos I aka The Cradle The other 20 worlds are primarily inhabited by a number of 2nd Caste nanite swarms, 'commanded' and protected by three swarms of 1st Caste members. All of the worlds currently held by Legion are located in strategic positions. Their 5 completed worlds, this including their home world, are positioned inside of a 'sphere' if you draw lines between the surrounding planets within their control. This allows the Legion to use their out worlds as defensive outposts of a sort should another race attempt to attack them. Each of these five worlds is less than a light year away from a massive space-station as seen below: These Space Stations are referred to as Spires, but are actually Quantum Entanglement Transportation Arrays which allow Legion to either transport themselves to a a remote location instantaneously without the use of a FTL drive in a ship, or to travel between Spires quickly so as to deliver resources and the like between planets. A single spire is typically 10 miles in length, primarily so its surface area is enough to absorb solar, thermal, and any other energy source it can. These energies are utilized to maintain its systems which are primarily geared towards the stabilization and creation of quantum entanglement passages. Additionally, Spires are capable of jamming spatial or quantum transportation systems, causing them to abruptly "dump" craft off before their destination, typically just at the edge of Legion space. Spires do this by detecting quantum or spatial anomalies that are moving in a trajectory aimed in the direction of Legion space. Once these are detected the Spires safely reverse the effects exhibited by the noted forms of FTL drives causing their function to cease. More accurately an effected FTL drive will be incapable of warping space or interacting properly with their surrounding quantum field due to the greater force/control being exerted by the local Spire. While a Spire can shut down perhaps one medium sized fleet with this capability, anything larger will be ineffective, only working on several ships or diverting their trajectory somewhat causing them to end up slightly off in their coordinates. Similarly a single Spire cannot effect multiple fleets of even small size and doing so on even one small fleet will decrease their ability to properly transport Legion vessels. The last notable capability of Spires is what Legion refers to as their Null Field. This field is created through the Spire's ability to manipulate the quantum field, thus allowing them to essentially divert energy and matter around themselves. A Spire can however not do this permanently and while it works as an incredible defense it requires that the Spire leave its "arms" open thus exposing it to enemy fire upon the time that the Null field fails. Conversely Spires can close their "arms" creating a defensive shell over their surface, which absorbs most forms of energy and uses it to gradually create a Spatial pocket. Once this spatial pocket is formed the Spire will phase into it, vanishing completely. At this point the Spire is typically unreachable unless it can be pried from this pocket. Spires are one of the few constructs that Legion's nanites does not entirely compose as it requires portions of anti-matter to power. The stations are also taxing to resources, almost regardless to the amount of such, and thus must only be constructed when absolutely necessary. Construction of a Spire takes, at the very least, seven earth days. The Legion Collective's Homeworld, once known as Legianos I, is now simply referred to as The Cradle.

Current Information

This section will be regularly updated. Legion has recently sent out eight separate fleets of ships, each composed of what would initially appear to be one super-capital ship. This ship is essentially the entire fleet combined into one single vessel that has travel capabilities comparable to a Spire, but limited to its own form. Each ship is 5 miles in length making them utterly massive constructs, each of which possesses a large store of super condensed lead for conversion purposes only. None of these ships are armed with weaponry, but all are currently equipped with energy absorption apparatus and displacement fields, which tend to curve projectiles and the like around the vessel. Each vessel is currently home to 5 biological members of Legion, 4 of which are guards and servants, and 1 of which is a trained ambassador. These individuals are currently in a form of stasis so as to ignore the passage of time while they wait for first contact.

Shinku Hyūga – Tasatsu Tsuki

General Data

Name: Shinku(Crimson) Hyūga. Nickname/Alias: Tasatsu Tsuki(Blood moon). Gender: Male. Age: 26. Age Appearance: 26. Sexuality: Heterosexual. Birthplace: Land of Fire. Organization: N/A. Position: Rogue/Outcast. Clan: Hyūga. Rank: A Rank. Chakra Nature: Fire, Lightning, Yin, and Yang. Additional Appearance Details: Standing at 6 feet, and weighing 210, most of which comes from muscle, the Hyuga is a daunting man to look upon. Typically garbed in greys, blacks, with crimson or white accents, Shinku is typically quite easy to distinguish in a crowd, if not by his clothes, then by the aura of malice that shrouds him like his black cloak. More often than not he can be seen with a slight smirk on his lips and a dark, foreboding amusement in his eyes likening him to the guise of a starved beast—ravenous and unpredictable. History: Born to the Main branch of the Hyuga family, Shinku was the youngest of three siblings, both brothers, and so was raised only as a back-up plan should his elder brothers fall in battle. He took offense to this early, becoming jealous over the years as he noted his parents obvious favor to his elder siblings. Not enjoying what he found to be obvious scorn, Shinku at first did his best to out preform his brothers in any way he could. The first way that he found he could do this was in their training, as the three boys were trained together, perhaps to foster rivalry and thus improved results from their ambition. This method perhaps worked too well as Shinku's father and brothers quickly discovered that while he was the third son, he had inherited what could be considered one of the most potent Byakugan for generations. Even at an early age he was capable of advanced forms of sensory perception, able to evade and counter both of his brothers in single combat with relative ease. Such was his mastery that he could nullify strikes of the gentle fist by releasing a pulse of chakra to disrupt attacks on impact. His brothers, Tetsuishi and Ryūko did not however, enjoy being shown up and so one day they cornered him out of sight of their parents and challenged him, two to one. Thinking it a casual challenge or practice, Shinku agreed and took stance, ready to have a good training bout with his brothers. The results were not pretty. As a testament to Shinku's skill, despite the age gap of 5 and 9 years between he and his elder siblings, both boys were laid unconscious from pain by the end of it and Shinku stood confused. He did not understand how his brothers had not stood a better chance, thinking that they had perhaps held back he sat down and waited for them to regain consciousness. When they awoke Shinku was sitting, with a beaming smile, and clapping his hands. He asked for another round, insisting that they had held back. In response, Tetsuishi and Ryūko got to their feet and backed away, frightened. This was the first time Shinku was called a demon, but it was not the last. For several years little happened between the brothers, but it began to become apparent that the eldest, Ryūko, was to be the head of the clan upon their father's death. By now Shinku was 18 and had began to yearn for freedom from regiment, from responsibility. He found that he no longer wished to lead what others called his clansmen, his kin. He had no interest, they were inconsequential. Nonetheless, his clearly inferior elder brother being the heir irked him so he devised a plan to...change things. Waiting till his eldest brother was asleep, Shinku made his way to his sleeping quarters and, utilizing the very style his father had taught him, killed his sibling, rupturing his organs by applying gratuitous amounts of chakratic force with his strikes. He then stole away with Tetsuishi, threatening that he'd kill him unless he be pardoned, for he was not a fool and knew the consequences for killing a member of the head family, even if he did not understand them. Out of necessity he was allowed to live, but not among the Hyuga, no, his father exiled him, stating that should a member of the clan lay eyes on him they were to steer clear, or organize a strike team to eliminate him. In the following years Shinku made no attempt to hide his presence, at least not until they sent a strike team. It was only then that he revealed he'd been doing mercenary work, having learned to hide himself effectively when necessary. So it was that the hunting party, became the hunted. None returned. Since then Shinku has roamed the lands selling his skills for coin and enjoyment. When a contract does not amusement and he has received his payment, he additionally takes the payment of his employer's life. Still, while a dangerous man, he is a valuable asset to any who can retain his amusement and thus make themselves worthy of his time. If this can be done he will serve with the loyalty begotten from great enjoyment, for what is better than pleasure in a life whose years are numbered? Personality: In short, Shinku is a predator and a sociopath, preying on the weak, and strong both. He cares little for matters of morality, not really understanding the difference between killing someone who has wronged you, and killing a small child for bumping into you accidentally on the street. Still, Shinku does have some feelings and can be offended. In fact, he becomes jealous as easily as he is angered and the two are easily linked. Beyond this it is made clear by his behavior both in his mercenary years and in his childhood, that he sees no problem with killing, theft, extortion and manipulation of all kinds. Still, he does not prefer to be subtle, instead taking intense pleasure from blatant torture and defacement of what people find precious. He is disloyal, lest you garner his respect by besting him, yet offering deference of a sort, as his pride is not to be hurt. While certainly a savant in the area of combat, if not an outright genius or prodigy, Shinku is lacking when it comes to intentionally swaying others in a subtle manner. No, he much prefers to destroy than to create and will revert to his base nature if given the chance. When angered or driven into a fit of deeply seated jealousy, Shinku is more prone to manipulation as his arrogance will more likely beget recklessness. This is surely one of his greatest flaws, along with his inability to empathize with others or understand the weight, or relevance, of what others call “sins”. While some might think that being incapable of empathy would not weigh or disadvantage someone they would be sorely wrong for it makes manipulation of people's emotions much more difficult and prediction of their actions by such just as hard. It is in this way that Shinku can be confused by false emotional stimuli as he must go on what he sees as he does not feel as others do. That is simply his lot in life. Though, perhaps he is deserving of such a fate, considering his depraved past, or are all men worthy of redemption? Niveau Zero - Underground Flavour(xKore Remix)

Combat Data

Special Traits Exceptionally durable and precise movements. Skilled with ninja weaponry and knives. Shinku is equal parts fast and strong. Slightly Above average chakra pool. Master of the Gentle Fist Style. Best at ninjutsu and taijutsu. Absolute Chakra control. Sensory Mastery. Lacks range. Name of Kekkei Genkai: Byakugan(White Eye). Clan: Hyūga Description: The primary ability of the Byakugan gives the user a near 360º field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. Upon activation of the dōjutsu, the wielder is granted an automatic 50 meter field of vision around themselves which can be extended through training to at least 10 kilometers. The Byakugan is also able to see through solid objects, smokescreens, and even through most barriers as only a particularly strong barrier such as the Four Black Fogs Formation is able to somewhat distort the Byakugan's perception. It can also differentiate between non-corporeal clones and see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight. The dōjutsu has the ability to follow high-speed movement. It is also able to magnify objects to see the smallest of targets in the area and see in infrared to detect a target's body heat. Arguably its greatest ability is to see chakra in all its nature, including its flow and the circulation system inside the body with great detail as well as the colour of chakra allowing the wielder to differentiate them. Like the Sharingan and Rinnegan, the Byakugan can detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used. The Byakugan can also discern a transformation from the real person through their chakra. It is from the Byakugan's especially acute perception of chakra that the Hyūga Clan are able to employ their signature fighting style: Gentle Fist. Able to strike without force, and yet do more damage to a ninja than some of the most powerful ninjutsu. ========================================= Techniques: Possesses all E ranked techniques. Canon Jutsu Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation): Linked to all weaponry and the palms of the user's hands in this case. Hakke Kūshō(Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm) Jūkenpō Ichigekishin(Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body) Shōtei(Palm Bottom) Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō(Protecting Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms) Chakra Suppression Technique Meisaigakure no Jutsu(Hiding with Camouflage Technique) Custom Jutsu Name of Technique: Senbatsu jokyo tsuku(選抜除去突く 'Culling Strikes'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Taijutsu/Kinjutsu. Rank: S. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: N/A. Description: While utilizing the gentle fist style, the user directs chakra to the palms and fingers especially, amplifying the already crippling strikes of the Juuken to higher levels. While not officially a technique of the Hyuga clan, Senbatsu jokyo tsuku allows a master practitioner of the Juuken to kill with a minimum of two to four strikes depending on the areas struck. The reason for this technique's deadly nature is the abundant amount of chakra focused to the hands as each strike does not simply penetrate the body or close a tenketsu, but actually closes, and then ruptures both chakra system and internal systems of the body, causing massive trauma. While several Culling strikes can kill, it is also possible to utilize this technique in order to permanently cripple. Weakness: The simplest counter is to dodge, but it is also possible to seal the user's chakra and if such fails then block or deflect the strike. Individuals skilled with their chakra might even be able to disrupt or lessen the damage via manipulation of their chakra internally or along the surface of their skin. Armor will also slightly defend against this technique. This technique, while not incredibly chakra taxing initially becomes tiring if utilized continuously for longer than 30 seconds at a time and while it requires no handseals to activate it takes roughly 5 seconds to focus the chakra for its use. It also strains the user's chakra system to utilize. ==================== Name of Technique: Nise hataraki-guchi(偽働き口 'False Opening'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei taijutsu. Rank: A. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 0-5. Description: While typically requiring no handseals, Nise hataraki-guchi allows its user to focus chakra throughout their chakra system along their tenketsu and over the surface of their flesh. While initially devised as a counter against other users of the Gentle fist, it can also be utilized to diminish the force behind blows, by releasing small focused pulses of chakra upon an attack entering several inches of his person. If 5 hand seals are utilized the area of effect is changed to 1 foot, allowing Shinku to actually direct a bound field of chakra around his body to redirect or alter the trajectory of attacks. Weakness: Especially fast attacks can strike him despite the presence of this pseudo-barrier, and while it can defend him to an extent it is nothing like the Hyuga's chief technique: Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven and is in no way an ultimate defense. ==================== Name of Technique: Kasai no boshū(火災の募集 'Fire's Offering'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu. Rank: C-A. Range: 50 meters. Nature Type: Fire. Handseals: 12. Description: Once the handseals are completed the user of this technique is capable of manipulating externalized fire chakra in such a way that it alters air pressure via differing heat in various areas. This allows the user to essentially manipulate wind despite not having wind affinity and can be utilized for a great variety of purposes. Weakness: The user's manipulation of wind via the fire affinity will however, never be quite as effective or chakra efficient as someone utilizing the actual wind affinity. Additionally, this technique is subject to the affinity weaknesses of both fire and wind as well as stronger wind users being capable of overpowering anything the user can cook up. Lastly this technique becomes chakra intensive after it is used for a mere 40 seconds. ==================== Name of Technique: Konran denryū(混乱電流 'Disruption Current'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/taijutsu. Rank: C-S. Range: Contact-3 feet. Nature Type: Lightning, Fire, and/or Yang. Handseals: 9. Description: As he utilizes the handseals necessary for this technique, the user exudes yang and fire chakra into the air, not allowing the latter to ignite, but instead utilizing it in a similar fashion to Kasai no boshū. This preparation creates a 2 meter field of chakra surrounding the user's body, which is primarily composed of yang chakra, but secondarily composed of fire affinity chakra. Once this is in place the user's body additionally becomes infused with lightning chakra increasing their reaction time and overall speed/accuracy. However, the true purpose of this technique is only viewed when an individual enters the invisible 2 meter field of chakra. Upon doing so the user is capable of slightly altering their trajectory, both in general, and specifically if they choose to focus its use. This is done by manipulating air currents and the distribution of chakra in the victim's body via infusing yang chakra into their body at varied points to throw off their coordination. Additionally, this field of chakra is incredibly conductive, allowing the user to transmit electrical shocks through it to stun or damage their adversary. The longer an individual remains within the field, the more of the user's yang chakra is infused into their body and once nearly all of it has entered them the final state of this technique is achieved. In this state the user is capable of sending devastating shocks of lightning chakra through the victim's body, crippling their nerves permanently and burning them terribly. If the user chooses to take a more subtle route they can essentially highjack the victim's body by sending specific electrical impulses through their body for a limited period of time (usually 30 seconds to 2 minutes) allowing them control. Weakness: The manipulation of the body via electrical impulses is rough at best, not allowing for precise motor control beyond. Additionally, exiting the field for even 10 seconds can help to dispel its effects if you have not been within it for a prolonged period of time. Last of all is the field's elemental weakness which is fire, as it can be ignited. Lightning chakra coursing through the potential victim's body can also nullify some of the damage. ==================== Name of Technique: Mōsō(妄想 'Delusion'). Type of Jutsu: Kekki ninjutsu/genjutsu. Rank: D-B. Range: Physical or chakratic contact. Nature Type: Yin. Handseals: Variable. Description: Its handseals depending on the intended complexity of the genjutsu, Mōsō is a technique that allows the user to weave genjutsu via either physical contact or chakratic infusion. Typically this technique is employed by creating a thin veil of yin chakra through which the victim is intended to move. At the point that they move through this invisible veil of chakra they are inducted into the genjutsu. Weakness: Doujutsu can easily notice the yin chakra. Additionally, sensor shinobi can detect the chakra, though perhaps not what kind of chakra it is. This technique can be circumvented simply by avoiding contact with the chakra or by breaking from it via spiking your own chakra. Also, dodge. ==================== Name of Technique: Hakke hensū tenohira(八卦変数手のひら 'Eight Trigrams Variable Palms'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei taijutsu. Rank: N/A. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: N/A. Description: The user is capable of utilizing any amount of strikes to damage the internal chakra body, or block tenketsu utilizing the gentle fist style. The more strikes landed, especially in succession, the more dangerous its effects on the victim and the more thoroughly their chakra is sealed. Weakness: Self explanatory. If you can't figure this out, then you might want to rethink some things.

Kimiko Uchiha –

General Data

Name: Kimiko(Empress Child) Uchiha. Nickname/Alias: Miko; Gender: Female. Age: 23. Age Appearance: 20. Sexuality: Bisexual. Birthplace: Land of Fire. Organization: N/A. Position: Clan Head. Clan: Uchiha. Rank: S Rank. Chakra Nature: Fire, Wind and Lightning.

Additional Appearance Details

The clan symbol is on the buckle of her belt and additionally on the shoulder of her right arm. She stands at 5'4 and weighs in average for her size. Her Typical Garb both in and out of combat can be seen below.

History: Born from one of Toyotami Uchiha's many relationships, the damned womanizer, Kimiko was conceived between the aforementioned and a woman named Nekkiko. Nekkiko and Toyotami's relationship was however, quite fragile as it turned out, as Kimiko's mother would later tell her, “your father just couldn't handle so much woman in one person.” Nonetheless, Nekkiko stayed with the clan, so that her daughter could at least have the benefit of protection and of her father being there for her when needed. It was in this way that Kimiko, a fierce and rebellious girl even in her youth, came to be raised among the Uchiha where she made her mother proud and drove her father mad. >Throughout her childhood she was a rebellious little girl >Mommy's little girl for the most particular >Nekkiko, her mother, died when she was 18 >Grief stricken, Kimiko is deeply hurt by her mother's death Daughter of Toyotami and Nekkiko Uchiha. Older sibling to “Shiro”. Only been clan head for 3 years (since she was 20). Personality: Kimiko is a fierce woman with a fire in her eyes and a sassy sway to her step. She is abundantly aware of her authority and as any good leader should, uses it responsibly...most of the time. She has the cheer of her father and the passion of her mother both, but her cheerfulness is not always an honest one. With a skill for acting, she has learned to harness her emotions, knowing that if not allowed to express herself, she would explode—and not in any fun fashion much to her displeasure. Kimiko is a woman of passion, but also one of logic, possessing a strong intuition begotten of her harsh analytic mind—some wrought of training, some which she was simply born with. She is, in some ways manipulative, but at the same time she can be as honest and caring as any mother, loving spouse, caring sister, or close friend. Still, she is not altogether kind and can be quite cruel at times, as she is indeed a woman of many contradictions—as was her mother, and still remains her father. However, above all, she is proud, confident, though with a small amount of the girlish innocence and insecurity that most still hold within themselves no matter their age. A product of her fierce mentality and confidence, Kimiko is the type of women to smile in the face of adversity and take any obstacle simply as a challenge of her mettle. Still, she is not without flaw, hardly, and this is apparent most in times of great personal distress and highly emotional situations. In particular are the emotions of hatred, love, and by extension, anger or passion. She has difficulty dealing with these emotions and, especially in situations of life or death, this can be a strong negative influence on her decisions. Theme: Katalyst - Intergalactic Supernovae

Equipment Data

Base Weapons & Items: X explosive tags. X smoke bombs. X kunai X shuriken X wire X Kaisō kunai Specialized Weapons & Items: Name of Weapon or Item: Yogoshi junrei-sha(汚し巡礼者 'Sullied Pilgrim'). Description: For the most part a typical chakra conductive yari, this weapon is also adorned with six strips of Kaisō nunoji, three of which make up the wrapping about its shaft, and three of which are tied to the small circular formation at its base. The blade is forged of chakra, carbon, and iron making it a durable thing indeed. The shaft has also been infused with chakra and its molecular structure altered somewhat, making it just as durable as the rest of the weapon. Beyond this it is more or less a normal instrument of conflict. The cloth that adorns this weapon was once white, but now maintains a crimson appearance, hence the name of the weapon. ==================== Name of Weapon or Item: Kaisō nunoji(改装布地 'Refurbishing Cloth'). Description: A special form of cloth weaved by Kimiko herself, infusing chakra into each thread as it was weaved. This cloth has, additionally, been infused with several fuinjutsu sigils, allowing for it to regenerate from any damage by absorbing either natural energy or the user's chakra, the second of which is more effective and faster, and transmuting it into cloth. The fabric retains a soft consistency akin to silk despite being capable of fending off even a blade if used properly. This material is extremely sensitive to chakra and in this specimen's case, Kimiko's chakra, making it more or less impossible for others to utilize it properly. Chakra can be channeled through Kaisō nunoji so as to slightly alter its capabilities and, if one has masterful control, structure. This allows a user, such as Kimiko, to actually inscribe fuinjutsu rapidly upon the surface of the cloth—this is its primary function. Name of Weapon or Item: Kaisō kunai. Description: Kunai with several inches of Kaisō nunoji tied to them.

Combat Data

Special Traits Jack of all Trades – Master of none Advanced Fuinjutsu/kenjutsu user Skilled in Genjutsu and Ninjutsu Medium-large chakra pool(7/10) Skilled actor and Tactitian Incredible Chakra control Mastery of the Sharingan While Kimiko at first, from the above, appears skilled in just about everything one must keep in mind that because of the broad scope of her skills, she has gained a series of skillsets that work well together, but not so well apart. More or less, the best way to exploit her is to make it so that she is not capable of utilizing some of her skills as eliminating any one of them from her arsenal will weaken her. Similarly, forcing her to utilize any one of her skills on its own will result in a drastic decrease in her combat proficiency. Additionally, it is of note that her chakra control and tactical abilities are primarily from the fact that she possesses the sharingan, rather than from innate ability. Name of Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan. Clan: Uchiha. Description: The Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: the "Eye of Insight" (洞察眼, Dōsatsugan) and the "Eye of Hypnotism" (催眠眼, Saimingan). The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan itself gives colour to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate them. They are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular. The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements. As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement. However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react. The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai techniques. The user can memorise ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with near-perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques. In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. In addition to physical skill and kekkei genkai techniques, the Sharingan cannot reproduce techniques dependent on other factors, such as summons that the user has not signed a contract with. The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties. More advanced Sharingan users can take the hypnosis ability even further to the point where a powerful summon or even a tailed beast may be controlled. The hypnotic ability coupled with the other aspects of the Sharingan can make the user appear as if they can "see the future". First, the user must perfectly mimic every move their opponent makes and possibly their thoughts and words through careful observation. Then, they suggest an action to the opponent such as hand seals for a technique that the opponent and Sharingan user already know and copy that. With these things done, the user can complete the action even before the opponent does, possibly using the Sharingan's genjutsu to confuse or delay them. As with other genjutsu, genjutsu cast by the Sharingan are capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, replaying memories to someone else via genjutsu, or creating various illusions to deceive someone. The potency of the Sharingan's illusion is dependent on the user's knowledge and skill with implementing genjutsu. ========================================= Techniques: Possesses all E ranked techniques. Canon Jutsu Iatsu Sharingan(Coercion Sharingan) Genjutsu: Sharingan(Illusion Technique: Copy Wheel Eye) Magen: Kyō Tenchi-ten (Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change) Magen: Kasegui no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique) Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni(Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson) Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu(Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire technique) Shikoku Fūin(Finger Carving Seal) Fūka Hōin(Fire Sealing Method) Nunoshibari no Jutsu(Cloth Binding Technique) Katon: Hibashiri(Fire Release: Running Fire) Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu(Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) Generic Sealing Technique: This is a basic technique and should be counted as E rank. Kuchiyose: Raikō Kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation): Linked to all weaponry and the palms of the user's hands in this case. The sealing formula has been slighly altered to allow activation via chakra. () Custom Jutsu Name of Technique: Kyūsokuna kon'yaku(_{急速な婚約} 'Rapid Engagement'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu. Rank: B. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Either Yin or none at all. Handseals: N/A. Description: A tricky technique, Kyūsokuna kon'yaku is essentially utilized to make it seem as if an Uchiha has not activated their sharingan. This is done by flowing chakra towards the eyes and allowing it to build up in small bunches along the way so it enters the eye in increments, rather than as a steady stream. This, as well as the intention to activate their eyes, causes the eyes to flicker or, if observed closely, activate and deactivate at such high sped that the doujutsu is never actually seen unless viewed by a specialized technique or another doujutsu. If utilized with yin affinity chakra, the user is capable of initiating powerful, or subtle, genjutsu upon anyone looking at their eyes even in a moment where the sharingan is not activated. Weakness: Doujutsu can discern that this technique is being utilized. Additionally, simply not looking at the Uchiha's eyes will allow someone to avoid getting caught in a genjutsu. This technique is not at all chakra taxing, but requires intense focus to maintain for long periods of time. ==================== Name of Technique: Katei jidō-ka no jutsu(_{過程自動化の術} 'Process Automation Technique'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu. Rank: S. Range: N/A. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: N/A. Description: The activation of this technique, like many of Kimiko's seals, is done through flowing the user's chakra through the incription. In Kimiko's sake this inscription is in the form of a tattoo placed in the center of her back over her spine. Once activated via the above method the user can mould up to three jutsu into the seal at a time. Once a jutsu is moulded and placed within the seal, via the chakra entering it, the seal will allow the user to essentially recycle the technique without handseals or chakra moulding. This is achieved by the seal automating the aforementioned processes, hence its name, thus allowing techniques to be used immediately rather than needing preparation. Weakness: This technique is not entirely instantaneous, though it works faster or slower depending on the rank and complexity of the technique in question. Additionally, the more techniques are put into the seal the longer it will take to prepare one technique. Lastly, do note that the techniques will still cost the user chakra as they normally would. E and D ranked techniques are essentially instantaneous, whereas most C ranked and simple B ranked techniques take a second or two to activate. Complicated B rank techniques and A ranked techniques take 3-4 seconds and extremely complex A rank techniques take 5-6. S ranked techniques can be stored, but only one can be held in the seal at any given time and it can only be accompanied by a single low complexity C rank jutsu at best. A S ranked technique will typically take 3 seconds to activate if it is not stored with another, though it if another technique is stored it will take 7-10 seconds depending on complexity. ==================== Name of Technique: Fuin renketsu(_封印連結 'Seal Linking'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu. Rank: C. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Description: Used in most barrier techniques this allows the user to link one seal to another and even transmit overlaid seals from between the links. Additionally the user can create an area-of-effect by linking 2 or more seals. This can also be used to link 2 seals with chakra within and thus make a path for things -like vibrations- to travel through. This seal is inscribed on her palms and the bottoms of her feet, allowing her to place them simply by making contact with an object and instigating a slight influx of chakra into the seal. Weakness: The seal can be easily removed by damaging what it is on. She must make contact with either her body or her specialized tools to implement this seal onto a surface. The seal has the normal weakness of typical fuuinjutsu. ==================== Name of Technique: Yasashī shidō(_{優しい指導} 'Gentle Guidance'). Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu. Rank: D-A. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Variable. Handseals: 3. Description: This technique simply allows the user to gently guide their respective affinities by simply manipulating the chakra that makes them up. Weakness: Seal their ability to manipulate chakra and the user becomes incapable of using this technique. ==================== Name of Technique: Ten no homuramai(_天の炎舞 'Heaven flame dance'). Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu. Rank: C-B. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Lightning, Wind and fire. Handseals: 7. Description: After completing the necessary handseals the user channels lightning chakra throughout the body to amplify the user's reaction and physical speed. Once this is done, unlit fire chakra cloaks the body, particularly the lower body, from tail bone down. While the lightning amplifies her speed, the unlit fire chakra creates high pressure systems around her body, as well as releasing heat, and thus propulsion, in the opposite direction of Kimiko's movement. Kimiko can, using this combination, briefly ignite her fire chakra in bursts to send her to even greater speeds. She can utilize the pressure systems directly around her body to smooth out her bursts of movement and alter her trajectory smoothly. The speed that this allows is akin to the lightning release armor, in addition to small amount of speed, but minus a bit of its reaction time. The user may choose to ignore the cloak of fire, augmenting their blows with fire, or allowing them to send of blasts of flame. Weakness: Due to the user being surrounded by both wind and fire chakra, in addition to the lightning running through them, they are particularly sensitive to the water affinity technique. Beyond this they can still be predicted by doujutsu, though it becomes somewhat difficult for such to do so thus revealing that the peak of this technique is rather considerable. ==================== Name of Technique: Keiro soshi-ten(_{経路阻止点} 'Pathway Blocking Point'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu. Rank: B. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 4. Description: An interesting technique, Keiro soshi-ten effectively acts like a strike from the gentle fist style in that once applied it blocks several of the victim's tenketsu. Tenketsu covered by the seal are all blocked as if by a blood clot, causing chakra to build up at these dams. After a minute or two pass, depending on how much chakra the victim attempts to utilize, the user's chakra system will reach its limit and the blocked paths will rupture. This causes the victim not only to lose large amounts of chakra, but to experience crippling pain in the localized area of the technique. It may also cause muscles to spasm as chakra floods into them beyond the user's control. Weakness: The seal will break after a certain amount of chakra has built up as the pressure acts about the same as overwhelming the seal with chakra. If the seal is damaged or removed it's effects are nullified. This seal requires some of the user's chakra to be stored within the seal in addition to the effort needed to create the seal. ==================== Name of Technique: Zōgen(_増減 'Fluctuation'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu. Rank: B. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 3. Description: By studying and modifying the Gogyo Fuin, Kimiko has developed a technique that utilizes the concept of disrupting other seals and by extension chakra. Unlike the Gogyo Fuin, this technique disrupts chakra even if there are no other seals present on the victim. When it is placed on an individual it will impede the movement of chakra by disrupting the chakra pathways and causing them to fluctuate randomly. This makes it twice as difficult to utilize ninjutsu or to generally focus and control chakra. Weakness: If the seal is damaged it will be rendered useless. Additionally it can be removed by the Gogyo Kaiin. The seal can be disrupted by firing chakra into the seal from the outside or focusing it in the seal till it breaks. Breaking this seal by focusing chakra and overloading it is considerably difficult and will waste chakra due to the fact that the fluctuations make it hard to focus and direct chakra. ==================== Name of Technique: Kaisō sa reta setsuzoku(_{改装された接続} 'Refurbished connection'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu/Barrier Ninjutsu. Rank: A. Range: Contact. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 8. Description: By placing two seals, via her chakra, on two pieces of her specialized cloth and then ripping the cloth in half to separate the two, Kimiko can create a unique construct. The seals on these cloth, when activated, cause the cloth to become rigid and reconnect via chakra. These can be utilized to block attacks, set traps, or cut if someone is caught between the pieces of cloth when the chakra rushes from each to reconnect. Lastly, Kimiko can position pieces of cloth on someone's body, flattening them, allowing the chakra to wrap around them and bind them. Additionally, this technique can be utilized to cut the cloth into the shape of weapons, and then make them rigid utilizing chakra, thus making it an effective weapon. Weakness: Damage the seal on the cloth or incinerate the cloth. ==================== Name of Technique: Hatoriau(_{刃取り合う} 'Blade Scramble'). Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu/kenjutsu. Rank: A. Range: N/A. Nature Type: Lightning. Handseals: 10. Description: After utilizing the necessary handseals the seals on Kimiko's palms are altered slightly. Once this is done she can freely, and with blinding speed, switch Yogoshi junrei-sha between hands almost instantaneously. This allows her to almost wield her single weapon as if she had two, allowing her to attack in rapid and incredibly quick ways one after another. It should be noted that the user can also use this technique to change the position of the weapon in their hand. Weakness: Damage the seals or disarm her. ==================== Name of Technique: Sunpō sara-dai(_寸法更代 'Dimension Shift'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Genjutsu. Rank: S. Range: N/A. Nature Type: N/A. Handseals: 15. Description: A technique requiring plenty of handseals due to its complex nature, this genjutsu works by first mimicking the surrounding environment of the user, and once cast, the victim as well, and then super-imposing a near identical illusion over it, hiding reality from view by the thinnest shift of perception. However, due to the subtle nature of this technique it is incredibly difficult to detect even for doujutsu holders as it even mimicks the status of chakra systems and the like in reality, making discernment via that method difficult. This technique, allegedly, can only be broken via sheer strength of will. Actions taken in the genjutsu by the victim are carried out in reality, and mimicked simultaneously in the illusion via their mind. If eye contact is made she can skip the slight wavering that this genjutsu typically causes. Weakness: The user is incapable of fast movement during the use of this technique, but can indeed move. Additionally the technique is chakra taxing, taking more chakra the longer it is active. When initially activated, the surroundings of the victim will briefly waver as if there is gas in the air, or a sufficient heat change. ==================== Name of Technique: Tengoku-jigoku mai - junrei-sha gisō(_{天国 - 地獄舞 - 巡礼者偽装} 'Heaven-hell dance - Pilgrim Impersonation'). Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu/Fuinjutsu/Kenjutsu. Rank: D-S. Range: 8 meter radius. Nature Type: Fire, Wind and/or Lightning Handseals: 2-4-6-8-12. Description: Utilizing Yogoshi junrei-sha, Kimiko channels chakra throughout its form, imbuing the cloth about its shaft each with a single modified Fūka Hōin fuinjutsu. This is done within 3 seconds per seal, taking a total of 9 seconds for all three. Once it is utilized she channels chakra through each of the free hanging clothes at the base of the shaft. Using the sharingan she moulds three different chakras at once, conducting lightning into one scarf, wind into another, and fire into the third. A varied amount of chakra can be sent into these clothes depending on the handseals utilized. If only 2, each cloth will gain a D rank amount of elemental chakra; if 4 it will gain C rank amounts; if 6 it will gain B rank amounts; if 8 it will gain A rank amounts; and finally if 12 it will gain S rank amounts of chakra. Once the chakra is implemented Kimiko infuses the first of Fūka Hōin with Katon: Hibashiri(Fire Release: Running Fire) and a fire focused Yasashī shidō--the other two are then infused with a wind and lightning focused Yasashī shidō. This completes the technique's preparation, though most of these steps can be done in the midst of battle and one at a time if necessary. Once the preparations have been completed Kimiko will typically launch into close quarters combat, first releasing running fire in a larger radius than normal, the ring of fire's height will be higher the more chakra is imputted into the technique. Its peak height is 20 meters where it actually curves and twists inwards into a cone-like shape. As Kimiko continues combat, she releases the second technique, typically lightning, which tends to start as static at its weakest, but will be full on stunning lightning at its strongest. This lightning will whirl around inside of the area, either directed by Kimiko, or randomly sparking about. The final technique is eventually released causing the flames to roar to new strengths, and at this point Kimiko's body is coated with a layer of protective chakra. Kimiko will attempt to land a final volley of strikes with her weapon, either for direct cutting action, or after retreating behind the flames. If she retreats a smoke bomb will be thrown down, obscuring the victims sight as she strikes from multiple directions in rapid succession with Yogoshi. The techniques that had been released become linked to the movement of Yogoshi via the scarves, causing them to mimic the movements. The end result is typically a carbonized, electrocuded, and terribly eviscerated corpse at its best. At its weakest the technique will leave minor burns, an electrical stun effect, and the cuts from wind and Kimiko's blade. Weakness: This technique, executed at S rank and if it is allowed to reach its final state is effectively impossible to block, dodge, or deflect due to the amount of attacks being sent at the user and their elemental variety. However, should someone disrupt the technique before it has been fully executed/prepared they can spare themselves from its final results entirely, simultaneously depriving Kimiko of a large quantity of her chakra.

Reiumi Antare

General Data

Name: Reiumi(Soul sea) Antare.
Nickname/Alias: N/A.
Gender: Male.
Age: 18.
Age Appearance: 18.
Sexuality: Heterosexual.

Birthplace: Land of Lightning.

Organization: Medical corp
Clan: The Antare clan.
Rank: Chuunin(C rank).
Position: Apprentice to the Sankage.
Chakra Nature: Max of 3 or 4.

Additional Appearance Details: Reiumi stands at 5'2 and weighs a bit less than average for his size--with his build being average as well. He is toned, but only lightly, as the majority of his physical strength is in the form of dexterity rather than raw physical prowess.

History:

He was abandoned by his real parents at the age of 6 for what reason he does not know.

He was taken in by the Antare clan at the age of 8.

Personality: An orphan taken in and raised by the Antare clan, Reiumi has a rather strange outlook on life, especially considering his aspirations. Seeing the world in metaphorical shades of red, Reiumi is a young man who looks at a person and sees it as a biological machine, which just so happens to possess a mind. He is analytical and highly observant, able to pick up on subtle body language and subconscious cues from those around him. He loves his studies, but enjoys applying them even more, tending towards action rather than inaction, though this largely depends on his mood.

Somewhat paradoxical to his love of action, Reiumi, in combat, much prefers to dance around his opponent and not strike them in all their many openings, but rather lull them into a false safety, so he can strike at the most unexpected of moments. In social interactions he isn't much different, tending to constantly test others to see where their loyalties, insecurities, and limits lie. He is untrusting and, in most cases, untrustworthy, the exceptions only becoming apparent if one comes to understand just how he has any friends at all. As it turns out, everything is a process to Reiumi, including relationship building, and since he so despises being abandoned—a deep seated fear that he keeps buried and hidden beneath layers of bad behavior and trickery—he tends to test others to make sure they won't abandon him at any point down the line.

In this way one could, in three words, describe him as obnoxious, intelligent, and secretly insecure.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Weapon or Item: Medical Supplies

Description: A pack of medical tools needed for surgery or other such medical practices. Includes bandages, gauz, medical tape, and a variety of other tools.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Jū bokken(_住木剣 'Living wooden sword').

Description: An intriguing implement, Reiumi's bokken only has several notable differences from the average training sword. Certainly its most notable attribute is the fact that its core is that of still living wood grown by Ayameko. As such, the blade must be fed daily so as to retain its living core. To further amplify its durability, Reiumi has spent countless hours over the last few years infusing it with three chakra affinities, notably wind, water, and earth. This has caused the already durable bokken to gain an enhanced internal structure and exceptional flexibility. Due to its living nature and Reiumi's own tampering the bokken's core is capable of filtering out toxins within blood whereas on the other hand, due to Ayameko, it constantly emits a small half inch field of natural energy that coats its surface. This natural energy will mimic the purpose of chakra that is sent through the blade.

Unless the blade's core is completely destroyed, the user may feed it with chakra, water, and nutrients, causing it to regrow its prior form.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Nukegara(_抜け殻 'Empty shells').

Description: Forced to prepare these small, hollow, spheres of metal prior to combat, these unique tools can serve a great many purposes. Possessing a thin outer casing of metal and a total diameter of 1 inch, nukegara have one particularly unique internal component, a miniscule sand-grain size marble of chakra metal, which always remains in the exact center of its internal chamber. Reiumi carries 10 of these when able as they allow him to mold chakra into their miniscule core, something only possible due to his exceptional chakra control, and thus imbue jutsu or various effects into the hollow. When catalyzed by the kai handseal or a small influx of chakra, these effectively sealed effects will be released, infusing into the outer shell, then releasing. The nukegara are each only capable of being used once and cannot be charged in battle.

Chakra Scalpel: While he can indeed use his entire hand for this technique, Reiumi is skilled enough in its use that he can use singular fingers, or even extend the technique to weaponry he is holding.

Saibō no Kasseijutsu(Cell Activity Technique): While he is not yet capable of using this technique for surgeries, Reiumi has essentially mastered and fully understood the theories and techniques behind it. As such, he is capable of using the principles and theories behind this technique in other abilities of his own.

Kuchiyose: Raikō kenka(Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation): A slightly modified version to the norm, these seals are tattooed onto his forearms beneath the bandages, in addition to being on the bandages themselves. Reiumi keeps 15 of his explosive tags in one of these seals and half of his smoke bombs in another. His medical tools are held in one of these as well. The modification to this jutsu allows the user to merely send chakra through the seal to activate it. There is a Fuin kakari(seal linking) tattoo on each of his hands to facilitate immediate summoning to that area of his body.

Tsukiumare, Hiakarui – Jin'yoku no Hato

Theme I/|\Theme II

Basic Info

Gender: Male.
Age:

Race: Humans –>Plus–>Shinigami.
Rank & Division: Captain of the 5th Division.

Additional Appearance Information

Hiakarui stands at 6 feet and weighs 203 lbs.
Calm Contemplation
Hidden Mischief
The Sun's Relief

Personality: With a personality as glaring and bright as the sun, Hiakarui ought to be a very happy individual, yet such is far from the case. In fact, rather than display the brilliant enthusiasm and vigor of his true self, he hides behind a mask of intense self depreciation. This begot by events in his past and an unhealthy misunderstanding of the world and those in it, Hiakarui appears to others as an intensely caring, empathetic, but sadly downtrodden man trapped by his own insecurity. While loved by those of his division and a good number of those beyond, Hiakarui is similarly looked down on by others for his lack of confidence.

Still, if anything he is a compassionate man, always seeking to help anyone he can, even if it earns him only more disdain. He cares little for himself, instead turning his attention to others. He secretly loves to be the center of attention, but does not allow himself to be in the spotlight, making others believe him timid. While this is often the case, those who have seen him in combat think quite differently of the young captain. To them he is a steadfast man with a deep compassion for his allies and friends, willing to do anything to protect and assist them. However, beyond this he is fierce like the burning brilliance of the sun, yet calm and patient like the somber moon.

Of course, there are those that think him too kind, as even to enemies he has been known to show mercy, but only if his life and well-being is the only one at risk. In this way, he is selfless to a fault, mindful only of others.

Still, below both his calm empathetic exterior and his bright enthusiastic interior is a deep sense of fear and longing. The former aimed at driving people away and being alone and the latter derived from his belief that he cannot express his true self.

=========================================

Statistics

Stats

CQC(9/10): Incredibly capable when it comes to wielding nigh any weapon, it has been said that despite some possessing skills slightly superior to Hiakarui's own base ones, that few can truly surpass his mastery. Those who have never been witness to his tremendous skill in combat fail to understand how this is possible, but to anyone who has seen him draw his blade and fight for the lives of his comrades, well they understand that he is peerless despite what one might think. The truth of the matter is his graceful, but blindingly fast style is both a perfect offense and defense, which when combined with his tremendous physical strength and dexterity creates a cyclone of strikes, ripostes, swift dodges, and flawlessly timed blocks that simply cannot be beaten. It has been stated that Hiakarui's skill with a sword is practically unrivaled when combined with his speed and manipulation of reiryoku. In addition to this skill, he has been known to possess tremendous strength in Hakudo, though not nearly as much skill. This allows him to deliver powerful strikes in hand-to-hand combat, though not to deal with individuals more skilled in the art.

Kido(0/10): Possessing essentially no ability in the area of kido despite the immense level of control he has over his own power, should Hiakarui attempt to cast even the simplest of kido it is certain to fail.

Hoho(6/10): When it comes around to speed, Hiakarui is about average for the likes of a captain. However, what is truly notable is his general mobility, agility, and flexibility, allowing him to maneuver with incredible skill even without the use of shunpo. Nonetheless, his flash step is said to be somewhat hampered by the captain's intensely compressed reiatsu, making him only capable of utilizing it fully upon the release of his zanpakuto into shikai. Even with this in mind, his speed should not be underestimated, lest one be taken by surprise and cut down in the same moment.

Zan Resonance(6/10): Possessing the bare minimum amount of resonance to equal his fellow captains, Hiakarui's relationship with Nisshoku kōshin is a begrudging one, as his zanpakuto spirit has essentially been forced to reveal its secrets in Hiakarui's quest for self improvement, though not for his own ends, and rather for those who rely on him. As such, while Hiakarui does in fact possess bankai, and a frightening one at that, Nisshoku kōshin remains adamant in his refusal to teach his counterpart the rest of said release state's abilities, of which there are at least two more. The spirit has refused to do so until Hiakarui has worked towards bettering himself, and while the shinigami has desperately, and continually, done so, the spirit remains stubborn and unyielding. Hiakarui has yet to understand why, and it may take a long while yet.

Reiatsu(9/10): Possessing a tremendous amount of both power and will, Hiakarui's reiryoku takes on the properties of both his true self and his facade making it a unique blend of fierce overwhelming heat, and soothing cool. As such, unless he has released into bankai, Hiakarui's reiryoku will always feel like a gentle, comforting warmth. Beyond the sensation of his spiritual power is the sheer amount, which is rivaled by oh so few among the gotei 13, though Zume Tatasuko and the Captain Commander surely match, or surpass, his expansive strength. Due to the sheer amount of reiryoku he possesses, Hiakarui is tremendously difficult to outlast in combat, as he can continue on for hours if it is required of him. Even further is that should he be deprived of his reiryoku to the point of near-death he will still not fall or take to knee—instead standing against all threats to his allies likely at the cost of his own life. Last of all, Hiakarui's sensitivity to energy is incredibly developed, so much so that, in tangent with his empathy, he can actually read the mental and emotional state of anyone within fifty meters of his person. While potentially strong enough to bring anyone below lieutenant to their knees, Hiakarui constantly and intentionally suppresses his reiatsu for the benefit of others. However, as a consequence for having done this for literally hundreds of years at a time, his reiatsu has created a crushing atmosphere directly around his person. This atmosphere of reiatsu is so dense that it actually slows him down in addition to making him a beacon to anyone with half decent sensory capabilities. Still, this bane does come with some advantages, such as any physical strike being amplified in its weight and the fact that he can further focus his reiatsu into a sort of force field, so as to block strikes where his blade cannot reach. This reveals the level of control he holds over his spiritual power, which is decidedly impressive.

Capabilities

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality:

[url=]Inner World:[/url]

Zanpakuto Spirit

Shikai
Bankai

Sealed State

Shikai: With his blade drawn, Hiakarui moves his zanpakuto into a horizontal position at waist height in front of him. He then moves his open palm above the blade as he chants, “Set adrift the Moon's shadow. Impose upon the Sun...” as he states the words the reiatsu compressed around his form is laid upon the blade, surrounding it entirely. The air shimmers about its form as he raises it into a vertical position before him.

With blade raised, his reiatsu is released in part from his form where it condenses behind him into two circular formations one upon the other, both with a ghostly blue glow. As these form his release is complete and the name of his blade is revealed, “...Nisshoku kōshin(_日蝕行進 'Eclipse Procession').” From this moment forwards a small shadow slowly eclipses each circle and the dance of Sun and Moon begin.

Abilities: With the appearance of the two symbolic bodies behind his form, Hiakarui's shikai takes effect, casting a shadow that grows from non existence at a rate of one meter per minute and a maximum radius of twenty meters, with its point of origin being either Hiakarui or the blade itself. This area has one of three effects depending on the stage of his shikai. Once this shadow, which is the physical manifestation of the shadow that gradually obscures the larger circle's form, has fully expanded the blade's tendencies are sealed off, turning Nisshoku kōshin into a terrible weapon indeed.

Techniques
Taiyō no megumi(_{太陽の恵み} 'The Sun's Blessing'): A passive ability of Nisshoku kōshin, this technique is applied within a gradually shrinking area of space that starts at the epicenter of the circle and effective only outside the shadow's touch. Put simply, Taiyō no megumi creates a pleasant warmth within the effective area. This warmth reacts to bodily damage and will mend it on Hiakarui's allies, in addition to removing his awareness of pain once the initial strike has ceased, though he remains aware that he is wounded and to what extent. Anyone with killing intent for Hiakarui or his allies who is caught within the shadow laden space will find that any wound they have sustained from Hiakarui's blade will begin to burn as if set aflame. This secondary effect remains active till the shadow fully eclipses the 10 meter radius, at which point Kōkan no zeppeki is activated. It should be noted that despite this technique ceasing to be effective as the shadow gains dominance, its nullification of pain is retained throughout the release of Nisshoku's shikai and will only be lost if the blade is sealed or released into bankai.

Kōkan no zeppeki(_{光環の絶壁} 'Coronal Precipice'): As the larger circle is eclipsed this technique is triggered immediately causing two intertwined effects to persist within the shadow's breadth. The first notable change as the eclipse of the solar circle occurs is a soft blue light that becomes visible within the 10 meter radius. This light augments Hiakarui's blade, creating a wavering ethereal shell along its length. This allows the effective cutting, piercing, and blocking area of the zanpakuto to increase by three feet. The blade's weight becomes threefold and through Hiakarui's manipulation of the shell's reiryoku distribution this weight can be moved about its form. Finally, in addition to this shell of reiryoku, the light will invade the psyche of those who remain within it for more than a minute at a time. This light will, for the duration of the technique, emit a calming aura within the effected area. As the shadow fully covers the area Kyōki no tentai kage is activated and the reiryoku shell is made visible as a blue light shimmering in the somber gray of the eclipse.

Kyōki no tentai kage(_{狂気の天体影} 'Madness's celestial shadow'): As the Eclipse's procession comes to an end, bringing Hiakarui's zanpakuto into a state of completion, this technique is activated, shedding its infernal gray light within the zanpakuto's area of influence. With continued exposure, those under the eclipse's sway are pulled towards aggression, their killing intent increased, and inhibitions decreased as time goes on. However, aggression begets recklessness, and so as time goes on, this increased lust for blood will only weaken the afflicted. The longer one remains within the light's sway, the worse it becomes, eventually turning Hiakarui's opponent into almost unthinking puppets to their own lust for violence. This technique can be resisted, but ultimately its influence cannot be entirely averted and will continue to seep into the psyche of those within the eclipse's maddening light.

Bankai: “Bankai,” he states with trepidation, his voice followed immediately by a tremendous rush of reiatsu, as the circles collapse and he is obscured in a mire of dust and blinding light. All at once, the light winks out, and a voice proclaims, “...Ten no sōretsu(_天の葬列 'Celestial cortege').” Emerging from the light, Hiakarui grasps in each hand a single blade, each wreathed with light: One blue, the other gold. In the air behind him where before there were two circles, now there is only one, black in its center, and white at its edge, all between a gray-scale. A gray light emanates from his form, tinged only by color where it meets his blades. Unveiled is the true nature of his self, be wary should it be pitted against you.

Abilities: Anchored to the space directly around Hiakarui, the light which emanates from his blades, and the circle behind his form, Ten no sōretsu's abilities are much like that of its shikai, 'cept far less forgiving. The primary ability of Ten no sōretsu being its condensing of Hiakarui's reiryoku directly in the space of his body, through the conduits of his blades, and into the form of the circle at his back.

The gray-scale formation behind him emits a constant aura of maddening influence so potent that even non-sentient objects are repelled from its form. This effect wreaths Hiakarui's entire body, making it far more difficult to reach his flesh with cutting implements, and increasing his speed through his manipulation of the repelling effect. However, the gray-scale formation's function does not end there, as it also defends Hiakarui from blunt force assaults of a magnitude twice the size of his body, and no less. As such smaller more precise attacks are more effective in dealing damage to Hiakarui's form, rather than all out blasts.

Moving on from the formation and to his blades one enters the realms of sun, moon, and their child: the Eclipse. First among the functions of his bankai's blades is their ability to be merged into one cohesive whole at any time so long as one blade remains within its master's grasp. When split into its two forms, Hiakarui's moonlit blade possesses multiple ultra-thin shells of reishi around its form all molded to the blade's shape. While Hiakarui can use these shells to extend the effective range of the blade from its normal 30 inches to an astounding 83, the primary function of this blade is the effect it deals upon those it strikes. Any wound delivered by the moonlit twin imbues into the victim an incredible serenity, which while possible to resist, is so overpowering that all emotions and thoughts are drowned 'cept those of violence and aggression. This ability, when coupled with its sunlit twin is a devious one indeed.

Unlike its moonlit twin, the sunlit blade of Hiakarui's bankai emits a constant flow of reiryoku around its form, which condenses into shells of energy every twelve seconds, layering over those created prior. While this effect is taxing on Hiakarui's stamina, it is well worth the effort, as while the sunlit blade may not extend its cutting length, it will burn anything within a blade shaped space of 40 inches, in addition to its cutting length of 30. Should the sunlit blade's cutting edge open the flesh of another its influence will accentuate and amplify one's own natural violent impulses, increasing one's propensity for recklessness, aggression, and bloodlust considerably.

These are the abilities of his bankai, though there remains the final movement in the celestial dance in which he partakes. This movement is the ability of the Eclipsed blade, which is only unveiled en full upon the activation of Gyōretsu no ōdzume. Till its activation, the combination of the celestial twins into the eclipsed blade will cause a feeling of mild apathy to intrude on the consciousness of those struck by its blade. Furthermore, the eclipsed blade is surrounded by a shell of reiatsu, allowing it to create waves of intense almost physical weight several times that of its own. This weight's shape can be manipulated by Hiakarui, but only extends two inches off of the blade's edge, and .5 inches off of the flat portion of its form. It is a frightening weapon indeed, which remains simply a component to a bankai equally as cruel and unrelenting.

Techniques
Taiyō mosu(_太陽燃す 'Solar flare'): An ability of the sunlit blade, this technique may be activated at any time as long as the aforementioned blade is moving, even if only minutely or for the briefest of moments. Upon activation, the heat that wreaths the sunlit blade is fed a portion of Hiakarui's reiryoku in a powerful burst, causing it to suddenly expand outwards from one, or both, of the blade's edges. Should the blade be slashed during the four second interval in which this technique remains active, the heat can be thrown off by the force, expanding along the trajectory of the movement up to 20 meters. The reiryoku induced flare of heat is capable of melting through flesh easily. It should be noted that when thrown from the blade, it merely expands off of it in the given direction, rather than actually being thrown off of it. As such, the heat will not vanish until it has first returned to the blade or Hiakarui runs out of reiryoku to fuel it.

Migoto tsukihi(_見事月火 'Lustrous moonlight'): A primarily passive technique, Migoto tsukihi relates to the shells of reishi, which surround the moonlit blade. When the blade is moved, these shells move about, loosely following the movements of the blade. This effectively means that these blades can cut anything that attempts to enter the space that the moonlit blade has just passed through. However, should Hiakarui utter the name of this technique, it will enter an active state in which he can speed up or slow down any of the reishi shells, allowing his blade's cutting power, or area of effect, to expand or retract. Additionally, Hiakarui can manipulate the positioning of these reishi blades with considerable focus once the technique enters its active state.

Gyōretsu no ōdzume(_{行列の大詰} 'Procession's finale'): Passively activated any time the two blades meet, Gyōretsu no ōdzume's immediate effect is the creation of a powerful shockwave of reiatsu, which easily repulses nigh any attack within a two meter radius. This is the technique's only passive effect, and it is additionally the only one that Nisshoku felt necessary to allow Hiakarui. Until the shinigami is capable passing the spirit's test, the remainder of this technique's power will remain outside of his reach.

The remaining techniques of Hiakarui's bankai are unknown to him due to Nisshoku's unforgiving nature.

Fuanteina, Azami

Theme

Basic Info

Name: Fuanteina(Unbalanced), Azami(Thistle).
Alias/Nicknames: Cyborg;
Gender: Male.
Age: 1913.
Age Appearance: Early 20’s.
Race: Human-->Plus-->Shinigami.
Rank & Division: Leader of the Kido corps and Captain of the 13th Division.

Additional Appearance Information: Azami is a...large individual, to say the least. With his utterly massive height of 7 feet, he tends to dwarf most in both size and weight of 252 lbs making him difficult to approach, not that many like to associate with him anyways. Rather muscular and very slow in his movement; Azami tends to take his time with everything, though he becomes impatient fairly easily. His features show a life of annoyance, the lines and creases easily revealing such on his slightly tanned countenance. He wears his captain's robes without an alterations beyond the pockets he has had tailored. Additionally, his shihakusho, instead of being held together by a sash, is strapped up with a belt that rounds his waist and leans at a slight diagonal. This belt is outfitted with a menagerie of ginto tubes containing reiryoku, and several other similarly shaped contraptions that can open at his will to release reishi particles into the atmosphere. Beyond this there are only his eyes to note, which rather than being any normal coloration appear to have been mutated by heterochromia, something he was born with. Thus both of his eyes each are a strange mixture of colors. Strangely though, and certainly due to the device that has long since replaced his heart, his irises actually appear as if they are swirling hurricane formations made from hazel, blue, and oddly even orange colorations. Additionally, there are definite 'curved arms' in his eyes, which mirror each other. These 'arms' are purple and incredibly thin, they pulsate slightly if one pays attention or looks closely. The same pulsation can be seen faintly beneath his skin, but only if one is exceptionally observant.

Personality: Show Azami is a narcissist, Azami is harsh, and Azami is not a man who enjoys being tactful, or dealing with trivialities. However, what he abhors most is people who take that which is simple and twist it into something many more times complex than they should. These are the people Azami would refer to as ‘pure and unrelenting idiots’. Strangely, despite the term coming from the human world, he refers to many, though often only in private, when entirely alone, or in his own head, as ‘sophomores’ –primarily because the term translates roughly into ‘wise fools’. This is a veiled insult as it can also mean ‘acquired skill, clever device, method’ and it is often referred to as a synonym of the word ‘second’. Here is revealed his narcissism as, while Kenpachi Charis is downright insulting and unpleasant to everyone, Azami is slightly abrasive, but feels that everyone, despite their skills and what others might think, are essentially…scum.

Azami, as such, is elevated above the scum and while this would make him appear to be a full-blown and rather terribly narcissistic personality, he is not because of how he thinks of himself. Essentially, Azami is confident, only slightly prideful, but at the same time appears to have nothing over average self-esteem. He will not openly brag about his abilities, his intellect being an exception, nor will he use the majority of his knowledge to make others feel insecure, stupid, or other equivalent, or worse, states of mind. One could thus say that he was kind in comparison to other narcissists, but yet again they would be incorrect. Reason being that Azami does all of these things internally, while lying, with great tact, to the face, or faces, of who he is inwardly insulting.

Thus one could, if they understood a fraction of his largely multifaceted personality, call him enigmatic. This is true, but he is also eccentric, which becomes apparent to others primarily through his divergent set of morals (see ‘Azami’s Morality’ for further clarification). Beyond his strange set of morals, his eccentricity shows in his behaviors, those that are not involved with morals included. Primarily it is his habit of constantly, and often visually to some extent, working on some form of kido, or otherwise construct, that has given him a reputation for the abnormal. It does not help that his sense of humor is skewed, causing him to laugh at very little at all and more often do things that would bother or unnerve people because they are normal to him.

Moving on, Azami is both moderately calm and moderately angry, all the time. It is his normal state to be incredibly annoyed with the majority of things going on, but to be fairly calm about it throughout. Surpassing this state is considered just as dangerous as angering Charis or provoking Zume, let alone the captain commander. Likely caused by his half-and-half mindset, Azami is impatient. This causes him to be almost painfully, and certainly meticulously, on time every moment and occasion possible –though he is almost never early since that’d require him to wait. Of course, when it comes to things that tick him off, well, most things do that. However, in particular are idiots, or idiocy, as well as naïve little fucks and people who believe that philosophy should be considered a legitimate science or study. On the other hand, he does enjoy philosophy as a pastime, and nothing else, which is ironically why he dislikes people who take it so seriously.

History: _{All ages mentioned are literal, the soul matures fast, and then the aging process slows from there.}
"They say there are some things that men, and I suppose women, should not see. I have seen too many of these things to return to the ludicrousness that most beings consider their norm, their average, their comfort zone. I am without one of these ‘zones’ in which comfort would be present. One could say…they could say I had stared into the abyss…and they could say that when I looked away, it was too late for me to forget the truth. For, while no one else seems aware, the abyss has long swallowed us all…and there is no escape." – Fuanteina, Azami

While none seem too aware, there is a haunted look in Azami’s eyes, a look that has done naught but intensify as his age increased. The reason for this expression, this loathing to look around the corner, to turn around, has been built, for it was not always there…for Azami was once a good, honest, and serious, but kind, man. To any with eyes, be they literal or not, it is apparent that this man is long…long dead… …but why?
- - - - -

Fuanteina, Azami, the name given to a small child born to a family of quincy, a family of quincy who did not live during the time of the Jurechi’s placement in Ireland. Rather, Azami was still alive when the Jurechi was located in Germany (then Germania), which was around the time that the Holy Roman Empire was at the pinnacle of its rule. As one of the ancient quincy, Azami grew up hidden from the majority of society, along with his family, where he was trained, but loved dearly.

Growing up he never knew much about how the outside world was like, but his parents made sure to keep him educated and knowledgeable despite this. A good thing too, since it would have gotten very troublesome had he run away to feed his then far above genius-level intellect –for you see the ‘average’ IQ back then was incredibly low in comparison to now. What he didn’t know, was that his family were pureblood rogue quincy. So, at the age of 15 he found himself thrown into a great conflict.

For while the Jurechi was indeed in Germania, it was on the border, and sensing this, his family moved as it did. It seemed that the point was gradually shifting into the Roman Empire, so despite the fear involved and the danger, they followed. Soon seeing the tyranny of Rome as apparent, him and his kin witnessed the Jewish revolt against Rome.

Moving further from the conflict, but deeper into roman territory, the Quincy family followed the Jurechi’s movements. Eventually, and luckily for him, as his family was long dead, he was hidden from the attempts of the roman army in weeding out Germans during the first war with their former homeland. However, now at the age of 53, he was already old for the times. Forced to flee when his then saviors gave him away, Azami found himself tiring quickly.

Finally came the confrontation and, even with his powerful and well-developed quincy abilities, Azami could not best the 30 men who then ended his life. However, despite him dying, he found that he was not truly ‘gone’ as he’d thought might happen. For, in life, Azami had never believed in the concept of gods or heaven or their like, they were ridiculous. For if there were gods, or a god, then they would surely not allow creatures like hollows to exist in the world –such was obviously not the case.

Eventually sent to the soul society, and thus the Rukongai, Azami found himself in a foreign place. At first he thought he had somehow been whisked to a foreign land, as he had obviously never seen any structure, or person, of Asian descent, let alone their clothes or architecture. At first he was wary, but he soon found his interest too strong to resist and so he began mingling with the foreigners.

Yet, unlike them, he remembered his life, and he remembered his first betrayal. It made him less trusting and more cautious, but he was still kind then.

Being lucky enough to have appeared in the 20th district, he did not have to struggle much to survive. However, he soon found that he still required sustenance, while his comrades did not. So, with time, he procured a job of sorts selling fruits on the street in a stall. By now, like nothing at all, 50 or so years had passed. Oddly, despite this he did not age any further, and since he had been fit and very careful in life, he maintained his appearance, in fact it almost seemed to be improving.

Time went on, but nothing got better. One day, it got much worse though. While standing at his stall he was confronted by some rather dirty looking men, each carrying their own brand of makeshift weapon. However, not knowing the dangers of those from lower districts, he invited the men to eat from his stall and stay the night, for they appeared frighteningly haggard.

He remained somewhat wary of them, but despite their weapons they managed to be at least lightly civil with him. That was, until he refused them more food and said they could not stay any longer than the night.

Thus, as he fell asleep, he found himself knocked across the head with something rough and hard, and carried in his unconscious state away from the safety of the districts closer to the seireitei and its massive walls.
- - - - -

Upon waking, Azami found himself on the ground in the middle of what amounted to a dilapidated ghetto. All of his possessions, excluding the clothing on his back, had been scrounged from his form, and he could feel the eyes of several peering at him from the shadows of the surroundings buildings…if you could even call them that.

This, in essence, was the beginning of the end to Azami’s kind disposition. Upon the betrayal he became even less trusting, and when confronted for anything, he eliminated or incapacitated the aggressor. When he found children, he watched them for a time before he would offer them assistance of any kind, or even his temporary protection.

However, around this time, Azami came upon a particular building, as he was traveling back towards the less violent districts. This building was somehow out of place to him, but only his unique senses, inherent in his Quincy blood, allowed him to detect this abnormality. For it was not the ‘feel’ of the building, but rather the strangeness behind its reishi, that intrigued him.

Approaching it he was soon blocked by an unknown force, one he would one day come to call reiatsu. It was as if he were being pushed down onto his knees by a massive pressure. However, he resisted, pushing back despite himself, but soon finding he could not resist.

Overwhelmed, his heart beating far more erratically than is natural, he lost consciousness.
- - - - -

Again he awoke in a strange place, but this time he was in a building of some kind. It took his brain some time to reorient itself and remember that it had fallen into unconsciousness. Soon, however, his conscious mind caught up and he soon remembered the strange reishi. It did not take even 5 seconds for him to realize that the building he was now within had the same reishi.

He was alone, but he was bedded, he knew because he was mostly comfortable. It was at this moment that he noted the distinct tightness around his ankles, wrists, and abdomen. Raising his neck to look down himself and attempting to struggle against the forces, it was then that he found that strange glowing bands of, what appeared to be reishi, restrained him. Again, this reishi was strange and almost alien to him, but it reminded him of something.

After struggling weakly for a minute or so, he gave up and let his head again fall to the pillow beneath it. He waited a time, running over his memories to try and figure out how he had ended up in this uniquely compromising position.

He came up only with loose ends and useless conjecture. Then, however, he considered that the ‘force’ he had experienced when approaching the building could have been some form of defensive countermeasure.

He soon found that he was right, as several individuals entered the room, eyeing him suspiciously while he glared at them with hidden wariness, confusion, and anger. This did not last long, as after several moments he found that he could hardly breathe, let alone glare at anyone. The room was filled now with a similar, but weaker, force, a force, which was increasing every moment.

Soon he couldn’t even blink and his eyes began to burn. It was after that moment that a man with sleek black hair, and cunning hazel eyes, entered their midst. It was at this point that Azami nearly lost consciousness, for looking into the eyes of the man who now stood before him was like looking into the abyss, and it was truly as if the abyss looked back into him…deep into him.

For the first time in Azami’s life, he was truly and completely mortified, horrified, and utterly rendered inept by what now stood before him. Watching, rendered speechless and somehow even more immobile than before, Azami’s eyes followed the figure as he walked beside his raised bed and stared down at him with what appeared to be a mixture of superiority and mild interest. Then, suddenly, the man smiled slightly, a look of amusement entering his eyes, and then the pressure was gone, just like that, and he could breath again. “Apologies for the unpleasant welcome, but one must be careful when trying to remain under the radar,” The man’s smile almost became friendly for a moment before he waved at the guards “…release his restraints.” The men complied near instantly and soon Azami was able to rise to a seated position. The man had walked to the doorway and now looked back at him, eyebrows raised, “well? Are you coming or not?”

Feeling it would be unwise not to follow this man, one who had yet to identify himself, Azami rose, feeling rather stiff, and followed the dark haired man. As the two walked, the man explained to him where he was and why he’d be staying there for some time. Azami couldn’t really say he was too against it, though he found himself filled with a sense of dread by the man he now walked with.

“—of course, while you are staying here I, and my family as well, would like you to be as comfortable as possible, so please, don’t be so tense.”

It was at this point that the man turned to him, offered his hand to shake, and smiled benevolently. Oddly, the dread died down to only a slight wariness and he shook the man’s hand. “I, my dear friend, am Zume Tatasuko, and this is the Tatasuko compound, and you?” It took Azami a moment to catch up with the man’s change of pace, but he replied nonetheless, ”I…I’m Fuanteina, Azami, pleasure to meet…you.”

While he was unsure, Azami soon found himself swept up into Zume’s pace, as he learned alongside him. The two both trained to become Shinigami, and eventually Azami was trusted enough to be allowed to leave and return at will. Even in those days Azami took an incredible interest in kido, with a secondary interest in hakuda and zanjutsu. However, Zume took to the academy before Azami did, this of course gave Azami time to get even more ahead, in a sense.

Thus, Azami eventually became decent at kido and he would’ve gotten better if he hadn’t met Elanña. The girl quickly took much of his time, as the two began courting as it would be, and so despite Azami’s near ravenous desire for knowledge, he succumbed to the wiles of youth, and of his new girlfriend.

Too bad it couldn’t last, for if it had, Azami would be a much happier man today --not to mention more pleasant. A year or two after, however, Elanña fell ill and without the proper medical equipment available, thus he could not save her and so she died.

This was, in essence, the end of an era in Azami’s life. For it was his grief and the world’s final betrayal to him that drove him to becoming the man we see today. His ability to trust devolved, and his kindness went with it. To bury his sadness, Azami continuously ate up the books in Zume’s library, feeding his mind as if it were a ravenous beast, hungry only for more and more information.

Soon after, he joined the academy and miraculously he passed in one year.

Astonishment was the only thing the seireitei could portray at this. Their ability to understand him, over the years, would not increase much.

So he continued his service, now in the gotei thirteen, and because of his skills and track record, he soon had suitors. He turned them all down, no matter how smart and attractive they were, none of them were enough. Of course, it helped not at all that Azami had lost his ability to trust the world and allow him his own enjoyment. So while Zume and he had had something of a falling out, he soon became the man’s rival, rising to the position of lieutenant around the time Zume did, despite Zume having joined the gotei thirteen before him.

So the two first were viewed as friends, then rivals, and finally one another’s nemesis’. Their rivalry had escalated rather quickly, but oddly despite their apparent dislike for one another. However, their rivalry (nemesisry?) was put aside when Åzami unexpectedly fell ill. The man, untrusting as he was, did not go to the fourth division, for this was no illness documented thus far. His heart seemed unable to maintain his body. Of course, this had been very soon after his attainment of bankai, and so he had ideas, but not true solution for his problem.

Thus, Zume stepped in, offering his assistance and expertise, and so the two combined their abilities for the first time, not including the missions they were often sent on together due to them complimenting eachother’s abilities –despite their avid ‘hate’ for one another.

It took many months, but eventually the two constructed the Ryūshi shihai gyōretsu - Bukimi kokoro, a device, which they then riskily implanted into Azami’s body, as waiting any longer would likely see the man on his deathbed and beyond recovery. Thus he became what we see today. Upon the discovery of this change, he soon came to bear the title of ‘cyborg’, which he adamantly refuses to be called, in fact if he ever hears someone call him such, they best watch their backs.

This alteration led to a change in his zanpakuto, and so it took him additional time to once again master its bankai. It only took several years following this for him to rise to the position of ‘kido corps commander’ where he has been ever since.

Since then, in secret, Azami and Zume had collaborated towards their ends, ends that are still widely unknown. Though, Azami appears to be the only person who knows almost all of Zume’s schemes, though this is of course always difficult to tell…. After all, Zume is an abyss, and while one may look into him, they will see only darkness.

This has left Azami in an intriguing position, as while he does not entirely trust Zume, he knows he cannot outsmart him, and he knows betraying the man would likely be a fatal decision. At the same time, he largely agrees with Zume’s ideas and feels that working with him would be best for his own ends as well. Yet, something in Azami remains conflicted…perhaps the good in him isn’t dead after all.

=========================================

Equipment/Altered Physical Make-up

Ryūshi shihai gyōretsu - Bukimi kokoro(_{粒子支配 行列 - 不気味心} 'Particle domination matrix - Macabre heart'): Put simply, Azami does not have a heart and this replaces it in addition to allowing him complete dominance over the reishi of his body and its bonded reiryoku and reiatsu. This device is one of the few that were created collaboratively between Zume and himself. It is a small sphere that, after its installment and activation into Azami's body, sent out a large amount of nerve-cell thin reishi threads. These threads weaved their way through Azami's body, connecting to his blood vessels and resonating a frequency throughout his form that allows the aforementioned effects. While this device has great upsides, it has also permanently halted Azami's ability to increase any speed-related techniques and he is actually quite incapable of utilizing shunpo or any likewise speed techniques with just his body alone. However, the frequency emitted from this 'artifact' level invention actually allows him to easily gather and control reishi, thus amplifying his zanpakuto's capabilities. This has allowed Azami to retain, and regain, a good measure of his quincy abilities thus causing his body immense stress in reaction. This is why Azami cannot move very fast and why he cannot shunpo, or rather has chosen not to learn to at all. If he were to use shunpo his body would respond in a very...negative manner.

To make up for this, however, the object has instilled in him an incredible sense of self awareness, and awareness in general. This allows him to detect individuals not only by their reiatsu/reiryoku signatures, but also by the frequency which the patterns of reishi, or kishi, that make them up. This means that it is literally impossible to entirely hide from Azami unless you have a way of cloaking yourself physically as well. In addition to this Azami has a unique understanding and ability to manipulate his body's reishi. While he cannot shapeshift or the like he can easily redistribute his reiryoku and emit reiatsu at will to amplify his strikes, not to mention exert a form of pseudo telekinesis on non-sentient things that do not exceed the size/weight of around 350 lbs. Additionally, exceptionally large objects cannot be effected. Lastly it should be known that, when his zanpakuto is in shikai or bankai, Azami is VERY capable of deconstructing and breaking the bonds of reishi, as well as building new ones. Ambient reishi is easily bonded and molded to his will, but cannot be purposed like kido or the like until his shikai is active. This object is linked to his zanpakuto, which has housed itself semi-permanently in his body since he entered shikai after the implantation of this object.

Last, and most important, to note is the fact that the Ryūshi shihai gyōretsu - Bukimi kokoro is the core of Azami's existence. Like a heart it will kill him if it is ever hit/damaged sufficiently, but unlike a heart if such is done he will never reincarnate and his soul will die and fade away in its entirety. This is because the Ryūshi shihai gyōretsu - Bukimi kokoro has pulled the entirety of his reiryoku into its form, as it was intended to, meaning that Azami cannot die unless this is destroyed, not completely at least. However, if his body were to be entirely destroyed, or damaged, a new one would have to gradually rebuild itself around the core, likely from ambient spirit particles. In battle, or otherwise, he can be damaged, but this damage will heal. As a downside he cannot be healed by normal kido at all. However, he does heal, though slowly, at an increased rate to most spiritual beings, or otherwise. In battle, this capability is slowed due to the consumption of energy in other parts of the body thus causing this healing factor to only be apparent to minor wounds like surface burns or the like.

=========================================

Capabilities

Immense Reiryoku(3/4): Azami's reiryoku is considerable, while not being the max, and this has allowed him a fair amount of stamina. It helps that his zanpakuto actually requires very little reiryoku in its shikai, though his bankai is an entirely different case.

Unremarkable Reiatsu(1/4): Though his control of reishi is incredible, if not legendary, the reiatsu he emits is really only at a fairly normal level for a captain-level individual, not going beyond much of anything. However, his control of his reiryoku/reishi allows him to focus this exerted pressure considerably.

Legendary Kido Power(5/4): One of the two fulcrum points of his abilities, Azami, the kido-corps commander, has complete control over his kido, and anything similar, which is actually why he is so able in controlling and manipulating the power's of his zanpakuto.

Zanjutsu Master(3/4): Like many captains, Azami is fairly skilled in the realms of zanpakuto, allowing him to hold his own in a weapon-to-weapon exchange. Oddly, it is not quite his swordsmanship that makes his dangerous, but rather it is the synchronicity with which he melds hakuda and zanjutsu. In particular, Azami's style revolves around deflection of attacks at some times with the blade (only when absolutely necessary) while striking out with the sword at high speed, but defending primarily with his body.

Impressive Offense(3/4): When it comes to offense, it is two his blade that he relies, oddly, and it is a fairly impressive offensive front he can take too. Many are rather off-put by Azami's unique fighting style due to how utterly untraditional it is. This causes almost anyone who fights him to be thrown off to a degree by his utterly bizarre method of battle.

Average Defense(1/4): While his defense is incredibly low, Azami always understood that being entirely unable to defend against weapon-based assaults (with his own weapon that is) would make him incredibly...well, useless in combat. Thus, he has allotted a small amount of time towards becoming at least 'okay' in his ability to defend. While he is not very good at blocking, he can counter/parry fairly well.

Poor Physical Strength(0/4): While he is capable of swinging fast and making deft offensive maneuvers with his blade, he is entirely incapable of winning in a clash of weapons due to his lack of strength in the muscles that focus on wielding his blade.

Hakuda Master(3/4): Azami's skill in hakuda is at the same level as his skill in zanjutsu, except...not, because of his focus in it he is actually considerably better at it than he is in zanjutsu. While he has essentially shunted his offensive capabilities, his defense, and physical strength, are rivaled only by several individuals in the gotei 13, not to mention the espada. This allows him to defend himself against most assaults through countering, disarming, breaking bones, tearing ligaments, and essentially downright turning his opponent's strength and momentum against them entirely. Azami's fighting style has been described as fatally defensive, but not for him, for his adversaries. It is truly something that one would have to view to understand.

Unremarkable Offense(1/4): Similar to his lack of defense in the area of zanjutsu, Azami has not trained to attack with Hakuda, at least not very much. However, while he lacks in actual skill in this field, the sheer physical strength with which he hits entirely makes up for it. Bottomline, feel free to underestimate his 'ability' to hit you, but NEVER feel that you can shrug off one of his hits, because instead of shrugging, you will find your shoulder permanently immobile.

Incredible Defense(4/4): Unlike the defense of his zanjutsu, the defense of his hakuda is vastly different, and while it is referred to as 'defense' it is not entirely so. What this means, is that while Azami's defense does indeed keep him from harm primarily, this is not its entire purpose, rather its other purpose is to disable the enemy. It is not necessarily through brute force that this is done, instead it is through deft skillful movement and timing, mixed with only the necessary amount of physical strength. Whatever gets the job done really.

Legendary Physical Strength(5/4): In short, Azami is physically strong in essentially all senses. This is caused primarily by his born physique and secondly by the fact that he has trained himself to near perfection.

Kidō Legend(5/4): Not only is Azami capable of every known kido, he has great potential for devising new formula and the like. This is likely due to his extensive knowledge base. It should be noted that his zanpakuto is more or less considered a part of his body and is thus equally capable of casting kido, though it must be at his command.

Incredible Knowledge(4/4): Azami's knowledge lies in the areas of kido, reishi, and reiryoku. He understands reiatsu by extension, but his understanding of Kishi is much lower. Additionally, he has some knowledge of the physical body and its weak points, allowing him to gain leverage and manipulate a person's momentum by redirecting strikes. This adds on to his extensive research into martial arts, research which he still conducts to this day.

Incredible Intelligence(4/4): Azami, to be put lightly, is very very intelligent. His memory is incredible, but not perfect, allowing him to recall details he has written, or studied after 1 or 2 look overs. He can also multitask like no other, which is largely how he is able to function in combat with his zanpakuto, as otherwise he'd be unable to fight and utilize its abilities at once without creating massive openings due to him being unable to remain aware of his surroundings and the like. He also dabbles in philosophy, and while he knows a fleeting amount of psychology, he has lost interest in how people act due to his beliefs. Poor

Yet to Learn Hohō(0/4): Put simply, Azami is totally incapable of flashstep. He has studied it and if his body allowed such, he could preform it (in theory), but as is he is incapable.

Incredible Mobility(4/4): While he is unable to preform shunpo, Azami has developed his mobility to make up for this fatal flaw, thus allowing him incredible agility, finesses, and speed in his movements. This makes his ability to evade in close-range combat quite high while his defensive skills pick up the rest.

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: Kind, seductive almost, and incredibly understanding, Mukei Oshaburi is a very softhearted spirit. Entirely unlike its counterpart and master, Mukei would help anyone it could if ever given the chance. In fact, the empathetic nature of the spirit has caused Azami to entirely disallow it from manifesting itself without his express permission.

Zanpakuto Spirit & Inner World: Azami's inner world is an ever-changing plane of creation and destruction. It is cyclic, but it is never the same. This locale, upon being initially entered, is always perceived as being totally white or totally black as if it were some form of purgatory. However, the senses soon adjust revealing to the beholder that the location is neither black nor white, but rather is a constantly shifting locale of reishi, many streams and flows of the pure formation moving about, bonding, and breaking constantly. His inner world can easily be described as both serene and tumultuous, as it is always changing, but always gives off the feel of peace and serenity. Mukei, his zanpakuto spirit, is typically visible only after the initial 'white/black' effect fades from perception. While Mukei too can shift its appearance at will, its favored form is that of a massive ocean green sea serpent, possessing six eyes and numerous glowing orbs visible through its partially translucent skin.

Sealed State: The 'sealed' state of his zanpakuto is perpetually 'incomplete' in its appearance as while there is indeed a blade at his right hip it is in no way entirely whole. This is easily seen when the blade, its tsuka wrapped in black and light blue cloth with a foot long cloth dangling off its form, is unsheathed. As its tsuba is seen, the blade gradually exiting its embroidered sheath, a pattern of 8 interlocked and unfilled diamonds is noted, appearing almost as if a snowflake were molded to the blade as its guard. While this would initially appear completed, this is not so as if one looks closely this pattern has been, or so it would seem, broken into existence, as if someone had intentionally cracked portions of the hilt. The blade is in similar 'disrepair' appearing with many jagged edges and a discolored tint of red and off-blue colors in its grain. This reveals what appears to be the entirety of Mukei Oshaburi's sealed state. However, such is not the case. Within its master's body lies a single fragment of the weapon, appearing as a stylized diamond. This diamond is actually within Azami's brain and connects quite well with his false heart and likewise reiryoku/soul core artifact. Additionally, there are strange blue-green markings all over Azami's body, mostly his arms, chest, and neck, that are imprints of the rest of the blade. These are, in essence, the sealed form of Mukei Oshaburi.

Shikai: With no movement or preamble other than the grasping of his blade's grip, Azami would state, “Dominate the world's essence, Mukei Oshaburi(_{无 形おしゃぶり} 'Spiritual Pacifier').” In response the rest of the blade, tsuka and tsuba included, dissolves into light blue reishi particles. The markings on Azami's body glow fiercely and his eyes light up with the same blue intensity, colors shifting slightly, but otherwise remaining the same. On his forehead a symbol gradually becomes apparent, appearing as a blue diamond that glows even from beneath any of his obscuring hair. Additionally, the reishi of his former weapon flows onto his hands and arms. This reishi eventually forms clawed gloves and armor over his hands, arms, and ending just before his shoulders. There are small holes pockmarking the armor and its coloration is green, white, and the same light blue. The armor, unlike its original incarnation, also possesses purplish pulsating threads that zigzag beneath the surface of its form. Two tones can be heard after the release of his shikai, both resonate together and harmonize, increasingly in intensity, but not volume. They start at a whisper and remain there, but become gradually more apparent, somehow, without increasing their volume. This concludes the release of Azami's shikai, though it is not the form his zanpakuto originally took, it is the one it now dons.

Abilities: The shikai of Azami’s zanpakuto is a complex and deadly effective thing. Its passive, and only initial, effect is the ability to gather loose reishi and, like a quincy, subjugate it to the will of its master, Azami. This is achieved by the frequencies emitted by the zanpakuto’s armor-like physical appearance. Additionally, Mukei Oshaburi is capable of dominating the bonds of pre-established structures of reishi via contact with some portion of the structure. This ability, in both its passive and active states, is referred to as Narihibiku Kōwa. While this is the primary ability of Azami’s shikai, and zanpakuto as a whole, it is surely not its sole.

Expanding from Mukei’s ability to pacify and store reishi, the armor is outfitted, if such a term can be used, with several unique functions beyond the manipulation of the gathered reishi. The foremost of these abilities is known as Den’i kessei-ka. This ability allows Mukei oshaburi to store reishi, as well as its bonded reiryoku and reiatsu, as well as release it in a myriad of ways through the armor of its form. This has thus allowed it to be something of blanket ability.

Last among Mukei’s shikai abilities is Mukei keishiki, which allows Azami to, in shikai state, release reishi that has been affected by Narihibiku and subsequently give it definite form. This reishi can enter any known physical state, but the bonds that make up these formations are generally weaker than those of normal objects. For further details, see his techniques.

Techniques

Narihibiku kōwa(_{鳴り響く講和} 'Resounding Pacification'): Tl;dr version of this is simply that it allows him to gather, manipulate, and alter the state and function of ‘gathered’ reishi. Free reishi is passively gathered upon release into shikai, while pre-established reishi (in the form of structures and other inanimate things) cannot be gathered without direct contact and time, which varies depending on the size of the structure/object. All reishi has some measure of reiryoku in it, while reishi from structures will have more than free reishi will.

Full Description

As described in the base ability, this technique allows Azami to dominate and absorb reishi into his zanpakuto’s shikai state, and eventually bankai state. However, there is much more to this technique. When coupled with Mukei keishiki and also due to the physical modifications that Azami has made to his own body, this ability allows him to actually cause reishi to generate, and contain, a relatively small amount of reiryoku per reishi particle. However, when these particles are gathered en mass, which they happen to be in this case, they end up having a fairly potent amount of reiryoku, an amount that rises every moment his shikai is active. This, along with the two tonal frequencies emitted by his zanpakuto, allow him to freely manipulate the reishi his zanpakuto dominates as well as its linked reiryoku, even allowing him to generate limited amounts of reiatsu from the allotted reiryoku.

In essence this means that he can fortify and alter, to an extent, the structural integrity and general strength, not to mention durability, of the reishi particles under his jurisdiction. In shikai this merely allows him to alter how durable and resilient his reishi is, as well as activating the offensive and defensive portions of Den’i kessei-ka. It should be noted that this technique is a constant drain on Azami’s reiryoku, though the drain is relatively small, reminiscent of a quincy’s reiryoku drain when gathering reishi.

Lastly, Narihibiku kōwa’s ability to destabilize, and thus destroy, the bonds of pre-established reishi structures can only be activated via physical contact, as noted. However, the less time contact is maintained, the less reishi is taken from the structure. In shikai, Azami cannot control which reishi particles of a structure, or area, his zanpakuto dominates, but in bankai he can manipulate such with fair ease. This process is much slower than the passive capability, but has a larger yield of reishi and reiryoku when carried out entirely. Destabilizing, dominating, and absorbing the reishi/reiryoku that makes up something the size of a 2x2x2 cube would take around 3 minutes in shikai, but half that in bankai.

Den’i kessei-ka(_{電位活性化} 'Potential activation'): Tl;dr version of this technique is simply that it allows Azami, through Narihibiku kōwa and Mukei keishiki, to form various ‘potentials’ or ‘forms’ directly (for the most part) off of the physical form of his zanpakuto.

Full Description

This technique is primarily capable of forming blades, similar to ‘hidden blades’ but of varying length and width, as well as shields and projectiles from the armor. Azami often refers to these as ‘projections’ and they are the primary combat application of his zanpakuto. These blades exit around 3 inches down the forearm from the elbow and can extend up to four feet out parallel to the his arm(s). The ‘potential’ for these blades is released when Azami runs his middle and pointer finger from the center of his forearm (bottom) towards his wrist. This action must be done only once. Retracting and extending the blade(s) following this action is a matter of his will.

Moving on from the blade, Den’i kessei-ka is capable of projecting a shields

WIP

Mukei keishiki(_无形形式 'Spiritual Formatting'):

Note: This technique allows Azami to, in shikai state, release reishi that has been affected by Narihibiku and subsequently give it definite form. This reishi can enter any known physical state, but the bonds that make up these formations are generally weaker than those of normal objects.

Hálitola, Armonía - El Reina

Theme I/|\Theme II

Basic Info

Name: Hálitola(Breath-of), Armonía(Accord).
Alias/Nicknames: El Reina(The Queen).
Gender: Female.
Age: 896.
Age Appearance: Mid Twenties.
Race: Human-->Plus-->Hollow-->Arrancar.
Aspect of Death: Transcendence.
Rank & Faction: Queen of Las Noches and leader of the Miedo.

Additional Appearance Information

She stands at 5'8 and weighs 140 lbs.
Light Smirk
Concealed Rage

Personality: Armonia is a woman possessing a tremendous presence of mind, not to mention domineering willpower, making her the perfect leader amongst beings whose only allegiance is to the powerful. While displaying intense confidence and the occasional amount of intimidation on those around her, Armonia is largely a peaceful and loving woman. Despite being a hollow, and despite her position as the Commander of the Miedo and the Hollow army as a whole, she is surprisingly caring for both her subjects, and their enemies—seeing those who oppose them merely as unfortunate casualties who, if it were her choice, she would not have disturbed at all. All in all, Armonia is a peaceful woman with a fierce desire to protect the hollows whom she deems her children, going to great lengths to do so. If there is one fear that she does hold, it is that her children will all perish, leaving not a trace of their being--'cept their shadow written in the books of the world's history. That is if the victors choose to even mention them. This is not a possibility she intends to allow others to have.

History: Will reveal Icly, but below resides a base outline of her life thus far.
"In this world the strong tread upon the weak, one day I hope to balance this relationship, but for now I will settle for peace as my goal. For in peace, much progress can be made," – Hálitola, Armonía

• Mother in human life.
• Always working in order to pursue her dreams. Children have terrible accident.
• Tries to live past it, can't as a hollow “eats” her.
• She emerges from the hollow, turning into one herself
• Blah blah blah, evolution
• Blah blah blah, vasto lorde
• Blah blah blah, becomes natural arrancar
• Blah blah blah, Hollowkind are my children.

=========================================

Statistics

Stats

CQC(8/10): She is equally skilled in both Zanjutsu and Hakuda, making her a truly frightening opponent in either field.

Hollow Techniques(10/10): As powerful as they come, Armonia has such a mastery of these abilities that she has created her own unique forms and as such rarely utilizes the base abilities, especially if she is taking someone seriously.

Sonido(10/10): Quick on her feet does not even begin to express the speed and sheer mastery of footwork that Armonia is capable of. It has been said, by those few who have survived an encounter with her, that she is so fast that it almost seems as if she can be in two places at once.

Defensa(7/10): Armonia's regeneration is especially powerful, allowing her to regenerate at rather high sped with the assistance of her abilities. On the other hand, her heirro is strong enough to fend off the skills of your average captain.

Reiatsu(10/10): Utterly tremendous. There is little else to know.

Skills

**Segunda Etapa Hollow Techs- 7, Reiatsu- 9
**Sonido- Sonido-4
**Gran Rey Cerro- Hollow Techs-6

=========================================

Capabilities

Custom Skills

Cáscara('Shell'): By condensing her reiryoku around her body, typically her limbs, Armonia is capable of hardening the energy into a form of armor. This is equivalent to a high end heirro. However, this technique serves a secondary purpose, as once the heirro Is damaged the reiryoku will condense into smaller forms, which will take on the shape of the tiny pale butterflies that flit about her form prior to her resurreccion.

Crisálida('Chrysalis'): In ability she may harness in any of her forms, Crisálida allows Armonia to do a variety of things, the most notable of which is the creation of arrancar. Through intermingling her own reiryoku with that of another hollow and then forcing it to harden into what closely resembles a Chrysalis, Armonia is capable of using her abilities, and aspect, through the application of her tremendous reiryoku, to force the evolution of an individual. This means that not only is she capable of creating exceptionally powerful arrancar, she can actually force the evolution of a hollow. However, one ought to beware of this ability, for should she choose to she may use it to maim, kill, or stunt the growth of a hollow trapped within—almost regardless of their power. Lastly, this technique's capabilities are greater in her release forms. Normally she can merely turn a hollow into an arrancar, but in Resurreccion she can turn a Gillian into an Adjuchas, or an Adjuchas into an arrancar. Finally in her Segunda Etapa, Armonia can even turn a normal hollow into a Vasto Lorde, and accelerate their natural transformation into an arrancar. This is the ultimate form of this technique's transforming properties.

It should however be noted that this technique possesses applications outside of influencing the evolutionary form of hollows. In fact, Crisálida can be utilized as a defense technique, in addition to an attack of sorts. When in either of her release forms, Armonia can use this technique to create a cocoon of reiryoku, in which she can place a shred of isolate energy. The longer the cocoon remains undisturbed, the more powerful the isolated energy becomes. The reiatsu surrounding the cocoon will increase over time, and should the cocoon remain intact any longer than one minute, piercing it will simply release the stored power, causing an immense explosion. Armonia can store up to three portion of reiryoku in a given cocoon at a time, and can create up to four cocoons simultaneously. The more cocoons the slower the cultivation of the reiryoku within them. For each cocoon the amount of time goes up by 30 seconds.

Enjambre cero('Swarming Hollow Flash'): While Armonia is capable of normal cero, she tends to forgo its use after utilizing her abilities, instead resorting to this specialized technique. As Armonia continues to use her ability, small butterflies of her reiryoku will begin to form, flying about daintily. Should these butterflies be exposed to Armonia or her enemy's blood they will expand rapidly, then explode, the reiryoku that made them up seeking out her enemy. The reiryoku of a single butterfly is slightly stronger than a normal cero. Should she however choose to attack with eight the power of the attack, should all of its reiryoku hit the target, is comparable to a gran rey cero.

Pre-Resurreccion: Possessing a rather bizarre zanpakuto, Armonia, upon the utilization of her abilities will gradually alter in appearance going from her normal state, to one covered in inky vein-like markings. Her sclera gradually fade from white to black, and her reiryoku will begin to emit in increased quantity, before condensing into small pale blue butterflies, which flit about her person. This transformation becomes more and more drastic as she continually uses her abilities, eventually causing her to take on a rather sinister appearance. As to her abilities, Armonia's reiryoku is capable of eating away at most materials, including flesh. Oddly, this capability is not seen in her release state, and so it is theorized that the ability is essentially the representation of the arrancar's larval stage, wherein she whittles away at the limits of the world. The butterflies about her form are composed of incredibly dense reiryoku and emit a small field of reiatsu in their wake. When near another individual, Armonia can utilize these butterflies to better perceive her surroundings through how other bodies interact with the reiatsu surrounding the butterflies. Should Armonia sustain wounds and still possess reiryoku to spare, she may expose the swarm to her blood, allowing her to reabsorb their reiryoku and use it to rapidly heal physical damage.

Sealed State

Resurrección: Drawing her blades against their opposing arm, she draws blood and proclaims, “Crawl from your carapace...” causing a huge rush of reiryoku to erupt from her arms and engulf her form in a black and golden chrysalis. A brief moment passes before the chrysalis twists, its energy spiraling away from her form as she reveals the splendor of her form with a flourish of her blades and the simple phrase, “...Mariposa plegada('Furled butterfly').”

Abilities: Enhancing her already impressive physical attributes, Armonia's resurreccion does not come without its failings, as her once decent hierro is decreased greatly, allowing even a 4th seat shinigami to pierce her skin with some effort. Nonetheless, this sacrifice in armor makes her blindingly fast due to her decreased weight. The tendencies of her reiryoku change as well, ceasing to eat away at material, and instead infusing anything she touches with power enough to destabilize its physical form. Upon her release into this form, Armonia's presence plummets as her reiatsu is funneled into both her blades and the space directly around her body. As such, all but the weakest individuals can easily withstand the meager force of her reiatsu once she has entered her resurreccion. Hopefully such people are not fooled into believing that this means they stand a chance.

Techniques
Ala retorcida('Twisted wing'): Utilizing the reiryoku naturally channeled into her blades upon release, Armonia can extend a golden energy from her zanpakuto. This creates a flat plane between the blade's inner edge, when held in reverse grip, and her arm, thus forming a wing. The edges of these wings are capable of acting as a cutting surface, or to block strikes. However, what has earned this technique its name is Armonia's ability to detach the wings from her arms and wrap the reiryoku that makes them up around her blades. Armonia may then release the reiryoku in a conical form by stabbing her blade in a given direction, releasing a lance like explosion of piercing, burning energy, which extends 2 meters from the given blade. This attack's power is equivalent to that of a highly condensed cero.

Cosecha de sangre('Blood Harvest'): By stabbing her weapon into the flesh of another, Armonia may pull blood from their body at a slow rate. The rate is slow enough that blood loss will not be an issue till over twenty strikes with a duration of four seconds each. This technique is passive and is applied to any of the sharp points of her weapons, including the small protrusions on its guard. The active form of this typically passive technique require she has gathered at least 30 seconds worth of blood overall. Once this requirement is met, she may proclaim the technique's name and slash, releasing a golden crescent of reiryoku. This blast will track its target for up to one minute, upon hitting any surface it will explode violently, releasing force enough to send most flying. The damage it does is essentially blunt force damage as the shockwave from the strike will pass through the bodies of anyone nearby, causing internal problems. Strong hierro or barriers can however impede the blast sufficiently.

Aleteo de las alas('Fluttering of wings'): Extending the reiryoku channeled through her blades into flat ribbons of energy, which trail behind her blades, Armonia begins this technique. Once created, these ribbons of reiryoku gradually increase in length as more and more rieryoku is channeled through them. Should their edges touch a surface they will leave portions of reiryoku behind equivalent in length to the wound they cut into flesh on contact. While this reiryoku seals the wound it has a far more dangerous effect, it makes the damaged area feel as if it were not hit at all. This effect is akin to a neurotoxin tricking the nerves in contact with it. The longer this reiryoku remains on its victims the more it mixes with their own reiryoku, slowly poisoning them. However, this poison does not kill, instead it makes it increasingly difficult for the afflicted to manipulate their reiryoku. The more cuts, and the longer they last, the more drastic the effect becomes until all abilities are nearly impossible to utilize to the possibility of failure, or worse, backfire. The most potent form of this ability is activated should any of the six ribbons—three per blade—reach a length of four feet. At this point Armonia can release the reiryoku therein, creating wide fan-like protrusions with the main portion of each blade as their central fin. For a period of three minutes she can retract and extend these fans allowing for rapid and unexpected attacks at close range. At any point during this time she can whirl either blade to form a shield from the corresponding fan, or slash to extend it in one direction, their maximum reach that of four feet.

The Vagrant Arcana

Basic Info

Names & Nicknames: Casana G(uile). Lecor; Guil, Vagrant.
Title: The Glorified Guillotine; The Vagrant Arcana; The Beastial Beheader; The Heathen Arcana; The Tempted Tigress.
Nationality: English.
Gender: Female.
Height: 5’10.
Weight: 142 Ibs.
Age: 26.
Appearance:
With a strange feline grace to her aptly revealed form, Casana is a woman of little refinement and incredible tastes. She possesses the face of a tigress, brutal, demanding, and strangely elegant. Her eyes have bags beneath them which are subtly hidden by her eyeliner which is put on to look as a blackened shadow on her face. Though her eyes may appear dark, they are a dulled emerald green with a strange quality to glow with a speckled golden hue as if gold dust dwells in her eyes. Going down she has an average neck and a slim build with toned, incredibly sleek muscles. Her skin is mostly well kept but appears to be rough around her shins and forearms from slight abrasion. This is likely due to the bracers she wears on those two spots. These bracers cover most of her outer forearm and shins and are typically very enchanting pieces of work –just like the arcane wearing them- and are of a read coloration with a golden cross embellished on their form. The ones on her shins are conversely all golden in coloration and have black crosses.

Now, unlike most of her family, this particular Lecor reveals much of herself to the world and only covers herself when she deems necessary. Covering her moderately ample bosom is a hardened leather shirt with soft padding beneath its tanned form. Even this measure of clothing goes down only to an inch or so above her pierced belly button. Going further down we complete her honed hourglass visage and reveal her red and gold belt with crest of her family –a vicious prowling tiger with the talons of a hawk- which holds up a black plaited skirt going down to just above her kneecaps. Unlike her chest, Casana’s hips are not very accentuated but are still enough to catch the eye with their tantalizing sway. Not only this, but her shoulders as well are adorned with the red and gold armoring, though they are not as protective as say, a cuirass. Part of her lower thighs are protected by the identically colored armor and do assist in her protection. Returning to below the waist we find that she wears leggings, though they are cut so as to not touch the inner thigh but circle up and attach to whatever she chooses to wear within the darkness of her plaited black skirt. To finish off the effect are black, pointed tip and rather smooth, foot-ware made of a partially hardened metal with inner padding and coverings for the feet. Last of course, and standard issue, would be her white, though entirely clashing with the rest of her, cloak. Everything else can be ordained from whatever reference you choose to set your eyes upon.

Last of all, the bracer on her left hand has 2 small chains linked to the side facing the wrist, these chains move forwards up to her gloved hand which has many, small, interlocking plates that allow complete freedom of movement. The guantlet/glove that is on her hand however does not go past the first knuckle of her middle finger and the same goes for the two fingers that lay on either side of it. Instead, the chain's three rings go around these fingers. The biggest one, and middle one, goes around the middle finger and holds there as a ring, while the other two rest on the fingers next to their elder brother. All three act as rings on her fingers and where one would think t find more chain...they strangely, but is all as it appears? Is she maybe more strategist than drunken lunatic, call her a 'floozy' and find out.

Reference

Personality: An unrefined woman with an intense gaze of emerald green and picture frame of luscious brown strands, Casana is a fierce tigress of a woman with a sharp temper and an addiction to the finer things. Despite being an arcana she is known to often jab at her fellow man and even be outright insulting. However, do not take this as hatred or dislike; Casana is often drunk to varying degrees and is generally known to not give a flying fuck about manners. Despite her general nature she can be pleasant if she so chooses, it’s just getting the vagrant to do so that’s a pain. In battle she is likely less refined than the average arcana and their ilk. For those who have seen and not been the unlucky individual against her it is known that a kind of grace appears in her fighting form despite the apparently unrefined nature of her combat style.

She is brutal and actually masochistic in battle and just loves it when her prey strikes back. She has the tendency to show a more sinful side of herself the more battle crazed and intoxicated she becomes. Strangely, though she is masochistic, she is not a sadist by nature, and despite her nurturing she never became one and defiantly denies to ever do so. Even to the Asylum’s she so graciously ushers to the more hellion realms she is not overtly cruel. Now do not take it into mind that she has problems harming an individual, or downright insulting their very existence for that matter, it is simply that harm is not something she believes normal, pleasant people should have to endure. At heart, somewhere deep deep below the alcohol and violent tendency, is a kind woman with a complex to help rather than hinder or hurt. In short, she is a healer turned bloodlusting mercenary with a stark love of the more sinful aspects of life. It is only her constant praise to the lord and reproach for her sins that keeps her as a supposedly righteous individual. Last it should be noted that normally she has little to no temper…but the problem is she is an angry drunk so unless you can stop her from taking a swig from her ever present wine, brandy, or rum…good fucking luck. Other Notable things Fool\'\s gold n\'\ false idols

Fool's Gold 'n' False Idols

When asked what she thought of the asylum's her prompt -and rather tipsy- reply was as follows "Theeuy're jus' a bunch of fuckin prissy idols, faking their works of 'god' and such kin'a shit..." she then preceeded to wobble and one of the blades of The Grim Quillotine spiked out suddenly and dug itself into the wood of her chair "y'see...shi' like that, tryin to impress people and 'save' tha world when non'a em' even consider their DAMN BLASPHEMOUS ACTIONS!!" the blade lengthened and she sighed as it shrunk down gradually, her expression mirroring its actions and dulling, becoming almost sullen "course...can' hate em, just...dislike really for tha damn false idols they are, need ta be revealed and MELTED DOWN like tha fool's gold they're ma' of...." She then sighed and promptly began to nod off.

History: Unlike most of the holy families of the arcane, the Lecor family is a strange one. Strictly religious, but of a different sect of Christianity than their arcane kin, the Lecor family are known for their sadism and cruelty in battle. Their crest is that of a prowling tiger with vicious teeth and saber-like talons. Her mother, Aresta Setina Lecor, was once a kind woman, despite her upraising, and when Casana was born, taking her great great grand mother’s name, and her grandfathers middle name, Aresta continued to cherish her third child even after she discovered her more arcane attributes. It was only when the playful use of her abilities caused her to kill her father, Matel Gion Lecor, that her mother became a sullen little bitch and her streak of sadism finally manifested itself.

The still 6-year-old girl that Casana had once been, was forced day in and day out through torturous routines of training and…other unfortunate activities. Her mind sullied and twisted by the wiles and will of her darker mother the girl attempted in a last stand to defy the tyrants rule. She did not become a sadist, she would never enjoy inflicting pain, she would not become her mother! Aresta, upon discovering her daughters activities, the girl still only at the ripe age of 15, punished her and lashed out with a violence forbidden in an attempt to murder the young arcana. It was only the broken shard of a glass in her hand, enchanted by instinct that saved her life and ceased her mothers’ tyranny. The shard lengthened and stabbed directly into the woman’s shoulder, missing a lung by only a single inch, humbled the woman through sheer fear of her daughter’s capabilities.

The torture ceased and the training did too, no discipline could be wrought any more by the woman, and with the ruined muscles of her shoulder, she could never raise her hand to harm again. Casana, even through all that time grieved her father and despite her effort to resist the cruel sadist that was her tyrannical mother, she developed first a dull hint of masochism. Through her teenage years, from 16-19, she became increasingly more pleased by any pains inflicted upon her and learned to accept and make strength her body’s strange flaw. To this day, she has never regretted anything of her past, with the sole exclusion being the father she lost so early, too early, that crushed collapsed her very world upon her. Now, the days of her adulthood, she has honed her skills to a subtle, but strangely jagged, point and made due with all she could.

Her father dead, her mother silently mourning the loss of her own strength, and a daughter risen above both, this is The Heathen Arcana. The days that follow, she only seeks to right her wrongs by spilling the blood of her lord’s sinners onto the ground as well as her own in repentance to the dishonor she has brought to his name. The Heathen, wishes only forgiveness for what she has done…and what, she knows she will do. Do you dare stop her from simply seeking salvation; From seeking forgiveness? I would not advise it, if you are wise…then you as well should not struggle, for struggle -as she knows well- only brings more pain. And for you pain is no luxury, her however, she is a different matter all together.

Abilities and Equipment

Basic Arcana Powers

Enhance: Her weakest link in regards to her three Arcane magics, Enhance allows Casana to increase her speed, strength, flexibility, durability, and endurance together or individually as long as she has arcane magic to do so. She can also increase the durability of objects that she is in contact with, which works in tangent with her Enchantment ability. Nonetheless, this ability is not very well developed meaning that she can only move in explosive bursts of speed and strength, rather than maintaining such continuously. When Enhancing objects she can maintain it for considerably longer, allowing her to make the cloth of her clothing as hard as, say, leather. Using Enhance she can briefly get to speeds that allow her to very briefly disappear in the eyes of a normal human, and in regards to strength she can easily break bones, but not so easily break metal, while she could very likely damage thin stone, or normal wood. It should be noted that the smaller the area she enhances, the more effective the enhancement is, this is due to her own skill level, rather than the limitations of the technique itself.

Note: For her speed bursts she moves at roughly 559 mph aka 250 Meters per second. She can only do three bursts consecutively at this speed.

Enchantment: Extremely able in this area of her Arcane abilities, Enchantment allows her to lengthen, widen, expand, and generally alter the distribution of any non-living object's mass/shape. However, this ability cannot change the base shape of the object, meaning that a long rod will only become wider or longer, but its overall shape will, more or less, remain the same. Casana can use this ability to great effect, but can only do so to things that are in contact with her arcane energy, or her body. Due to her level of skill the change in the effected object's form may happen almost instantaneously to the untrained eye. However, the larger, more foreign, the object, and the more complex the change the longer it will take. Nonetheless, these changes still tend to take, at most, a minute or so.

Negation: An ability allowing her to expel arcane energy, Negation usually weakens other magic and has a sort of "burn" effect on material it is exposed to, particularly flesh. The energy to negate someone else's spell is roughly the same as the amount of energy in the spell, unless specific techniques are utilized. Casana is capable of applying negation to her weapons to augment them and can release blasts of it should she choose to.

Arcane Weapon
Chained Rings-(The Grim: Quillotine)- Concealed simply on her left hand as chained rings this arcane weapon Is far more of a force to be reckoned with than most would initially believe. The Grim: Quillotine is an incredibly versatile weapon by itself, but when applied and enchanted by her Arcane specialties it becomes a force as undeniable as gravity itself. When unhooked from the half-gauntlet of her left hand and the rings taken from her fingers it is capable of becoming a plethora of combinations that have often become Increasingly hard to name and following through even the span of seconds. In Its normal form of a bladed chain she has the tendency of extending and shrinking the whole chain respectively as well as lengthening and shortening the blades on its form which makes it Increasingly difficult to defend against.

What are seen below are the five primary "states" of her weapon, but it should be known that Casana is capable of achieving a great many others utilizing her enchantment.

The Grim States

State of the Impala: Extending the link at either end of the Impala and shrinking down all behind and then widening them so that they become trapped in a linear state and easily held, almost like the handle of a sword, she then extends the straight and pointed end creating a blade from the links. The blade is of course double edged with a deadly tip and the ability to quickly lengthen and partially shrink its handle back into chain form so as to swing in deadly arcs. This is likely the weapons that has given her the title 'The Beastial Beheader'.

State of the Ouroboros: By shrinking down either side of the chain and quickly wrapping the rest of it around the two smaller rings she expands the rings size creating 3 chakrams which are linked together by the chain which can easily cut, since she thins its edges to a point. This is one of her lesser-used weapons and is equally capable of lengthening its chain and lashing out suddenly with an explosive burst of arcane speed.

State of the Chimera: Using all of the bladed sections of the ring she elongates all the blades simultaneously and widens the two outer rings into chakrams which remained linked to the now empowered blade links. The middle ring remain, thickens, and widens to become something that a hand can easily hold; She tends to quickly shift both or one of the outer rings at various times in order to hold and release them as weapons or handles respectively.

State of the Quillotine: Utilizing the middle ring she widens it into a bracelet and then tightens it around her right wrist. She then widens the two smaller rings and puts those around her pointer and index finger, once this is achieved she uses the same application of the blade links as she did with ’State of the Impala’ after she wraps the blade links around her fingers and angles their points forwards. This means that she gains a weapon that can either augment her own punches or suddenly extend into a plethora of elongated blades. She has to be careful with this application of her weapon lest she stab herself with the blades, additionally the small portion of the blade links do in fact dig into her flesh somewhat which only serves to stabilize them and amplify her battle craze and thus the intensity of her gluttonous guzzling. Overall this gives her a strange thrill and potentially an exponential boost in fighting intensity as well as a deadly weapon capable of easily skewering her prey.

State of the Tigress: Sometimes referred to simply as ‘The Claws’, the State of the Tigress is probably one of her arcane weapon’s most trademark of forms and has gained her the title ’The Tempted Tigress’. This begins with her moving the center ring behind her body and then getting the two outer rings each around one of her wrists. After this, by making the chain links large enough to fit snuggly around her fingers, she is capable of forming bladed edges pointing upwards from the back of her fingers and downwards from the inside. Additionally there is always one link dug into the space between the furthest part of the fingernail and her knuckle. This final link, one on each finger of each hand, allows its bladed section to elongate into curved claws giving her a fabulous set of 10 curved, tearing extremities on her hands. This is by far her favorite out of her Grim States but is still the most seldom seen as it damages her hands, despite regeneration from enhance, and is also difficult to activate due to the complex positioning.

All three act as rings on her fingers and where one would think t find more chain...they strangely, but is all as it appears? Is she maybe more strategist than drunken lunatic, call her a 'floozy' and find out.

Personality: An unrefined woman with an intense gaze of emerald green and picture frame of luscious brown strands, Casana is a fierce tigress of a woman with a sharp temper and an addiction to the finer things. Despite being a member of one of the Holy families she is known to often jab at her fellow man and even be outright insulting. However, do not take this as hatred or dislike; Casana is often drunk to varying degrees and is generally known to not give a flying fuck about manners. Despite her general nature she can be pleasant if she so chooses, it’s just getting the vagrant to do so that’s a pain. In battle she is likely less refined than the average Lecor and their ilk. For those who have seen and not been the unlucky individual against her it is known that a kind of grace appears in her fighting form despite the apparently unrefined nature of her combat style.

She is brutal and actually masochistic in battle and just loves it when her prey strikes back. She has the tendency to show a more sinful side of herself the more battle crazed and intoxicated she becomes. Strangely, though she is masochistic, she is not a sadist by nature, and despite her nurturing she never became one and defiantly denies to ever do so. Even to the Asylum’s she so graciously ushers to the more hellion realms she is not overtly cruel. Now do not take it into mind that she has problems harming an individual, or downright insulting their very existence for that matter, it is simply that harm is not something she believes normal, pleasant people should have to endure. At heart, somewhere deep deep below the alcohol and violent tendency, is a kind woman with a complex to help rather than hinder or hurt. In short, she is a healer turned bloodlusting mercenary with a stark love of the more sinful aspects of life. It is only her constant praise to the lord and reproach for her sins that keeps her as a supposedly righteous individual. Last it should be noted that normally she has little to no temper…but the problem is she is an angry drunk so unless you can stop her from taking a swig from her ever present wine, brandy, or rum…good fucking luck.

History:
"World's fulla cruelty...but hey, if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em," – Casana, G. Lecor.

In Europe there exist several families who call themselves holy, but in truth are simply tainted by the influence of hollows, imparting them with the abilities of Fullbring. Among these families is the strangest of their ilk, the Lecor family. Strictly religious, but of a different sect of Christianity than the other families, the Lecor family are known for their sadism and cruelty in battle. Their crest is that of a prowling tiger with vicious teeth and saber-like talons. Her mother, Aresta Setina Lecor, was once a kind woman, despite her upraising, and when Casana was born, taking her great great grand mother’s name, and her grandfathers middle name, Aresta continued to cherish her third child even after she discovered her more arcane attributes. It was only when the playful use of her abilities caused her to kill her father, Matel Gion Lecor, that her mother became a sullen little bitch and her streak of sadism finally manifested itself.

The still 6-year-old girl that Casana had once been, was forced day in and day out through torturous routines of training and…other unfortunate activities. Her mind sullied and twisted by the wiles and will of her darker mother the girl attempted in a last stand to defy the tyrants rule. She did not become a sadist, she would never enjoy inflicting pain, she would not become her mother! Aresta, upon discovering her daughters activities, the girl still only at the ripe age of 15, punished her and lashed out with a violence forbidden in an attempt to murder the young child. It was only the broken shard of glass in her hand, empowered by instinct that saved her life and ceased her mother’s tyranny. The shard lengthened and stabbed directly into the woman’s shoulder, missing a lung by only a single inch, thus humbling the woman through sheer fear of her daughter’s capabilities.

The torture ceased and the training did too, no discipline could be wrought any more by the woman, and with the ruined muscles of her shoulder, she could never raise her hand to harm again. Casana, even through all that time grieved her father and despite her effort to resist the cruel sadist that was her tyrannical mother, she developed first a dull hint of masochism. Through her teenage years, from 16-19, she became increasingly more pleased by any pains inflicted upon her and learned to accept and make strength her body’s strange flaw. To this day, she has never regretted anything of her past, with the sole exclusion being the father she lost so early, too early, that crushed collapsed her very world upon her. Now, the days of her adulthood, she has honed her skills to a subtle, but strangely jagged, point and made due with all she could.

Her father dead, her mother silently mourning the loss of her own strength, and a daughter risen above both. The days that follow, she only seeks to right her wrongs by spilling the blood of her lord’s sinners onto the ground as well as her own in repentance to the dishonor she has brought to his name. The Heathen, wishes only forgiveness for what she has done…and what, she knows she will do. Do you dare stop her from simply seeking salvation; From seeking forgiveness? I would not advise it, if you are wise…then you as well should not struggle, for struggle -as she knows well- only brings more pain. And for you pain is no luxury, her however, she is a different matter all together.

Capabilities

Custom Skills

Her three core abilities, the skills below are the very fulcrum of her fighting style, allowing her a great deal of versatility with most any implement, though her favored tools are her armor and weapon of choice: The Grim Quillotine.

Enhance: Her weakest link in regards to her three core abilities, Enhance allows Casana to increase her speed, strength, flexibility, durability, and endurance together or individually as long as she has reiryoku to do so. She can also increase the durability of objects that she is in contact with, which works in tangent with her Enchant ability. Nonetheless, this ability is not very well developed meaning that she can only move in explosive bursts of speed and strength, rather than maintaining such continuously. When Enhancing objects she can maintain it for considerably longer, allowing her to make the cloth of her clothing as hard as, say, leather. Using Enhance she can briefly get to speeds that allow her to disappear from sight, and in regards to strength she can easily break bones, but not so easily break metal, while she certainly damage thin stone. It should be noted that the smaller the area she enhances, the more effective the enhancement is, this is due to her own skill level, rather than the limitations of the technique itself.

Enchant: Extremely able in the use of this core ability, Enchantment allows her to lengthen, widen, expand, and generally alter the distribution of any non-living object's mass/shape. However, this ability cannot change the base shape of the object, meaning that a long rod will only become wider or longer, but its overall shape will, more or less, remain the same. Casana can use this ability to great effect, but can only do so to things that are in contact with her reiryoku, or her body. Due to her level of skill the change in the effected object's form may happen almost instantaneously to the untrained eye. However, the larger, more foreign, the object, and the more complex the change the longer it will take. Nonetheless, these changes still tend to take, at most, a minute or so.

Negation: An ability allowing her to expel her reiryoku violently, Negation usually weakens other reiryoku-based abilities and has a sort of "burn" effect on material it is exposed to, particularly flesh. The reiryoku necessary to negate someone else's spell is roughly the same as the amount of energy in the ability, unless specific techniques are utilized. Casana is capable of applying negation to her weapons to augment them and can release blasts of it should she choose to.

Normal State: Normally her primary Fullbring can be found on her left hand, its rings on three of her fingers, and the rest of it attached to a gauntlet of sorts.

The Grim Quillotine: Invoked by channeling her reiryoku through its form, the Grim Quillotine is a weapon of many functions. Upon being invoked, this deadly instrument takes the form of a chain with small spikes along its length, the links interrupted in three places by several rings. Should you ever find yourself against its arcane might, it's best you steel yourself for the worst, for Casana truly gives no quarter.

Abilities: While possessing none of its own truly unique capabilities, the Grim Quillotine is exceptionally responsive to Casana's core abilities and as such gives her the greatest amount of versatility in comparison to other objects, the only exception being her armor. Beyond this, the Grim Quillotine does have several forms or states that Casana employs more often, not that these are the limits of the weapon's transformation in any way.

The Grim States

State of the Impala: Extending the link at either end of the Impala and shrinking down all behind and then widening them so that they become trapped in a linear state and easily held, almost like the handle of a sword, she then extends the straight and pointed end creating a blade from the links. The blade is of course double edged with a deadly tip and the ability to quickly lengthen and partially shrink its handle back into chain form so as to swing in deadly arcs. This is likely the weapons that has given her the title 'The Beastial Beheader'.

State of the Ouroboros: By shrinking down either side of the chain and quickly wrapping the rest of it around the two smaller rings she expands the rings size creating 3 chakrams which are linked together by the chain which can easily cut, since she thins its edges to a point. This is one of her lesser-used weapons and is equally capable of lengthening its chain and lashing out suddenly with an explosive burst of arcane speed.

State of the Chimera: Using all of the bladed sections of the ring she elongates all the blades simultaneously and widens the two outer rings into chakrams which remained linked to the now empowered blade links. The middle ring remain, thickens, and widens to become something that a hand can easily hold; She tends to quickly shift both or one of the outer rings at various times in order to hold and release them as weapons or handles respectively.

State of the Quillotine: Utilizing the middle ring she widens it into a bracelet and then tightens it around her right wrist. She then widens the two smaller rings and puts those around her pointer and index finger, once this is achieved she uses the same application of the blade links as she did with ’State of the Impala’ after she wraps the blade links around her fingers and angles their points forwards. This means that she gains a weapon that can either augment her own punches or suddenly extend into a plethora of elongated blades. She has to be careful with this application of her weapon lest she stab herself with the blades, additionally the small portion of the blade links do in fact dig into her flesh somewhat which only serves to stabilize them and amplify her battle craze and thus the intensity of her gluttonous guzzling. Overall this gives her a strange thrill and potentially an exponential boost in fighting intensity as well as a deadly weapon capable of easily skewering her prey.

State of the Tigress: Sometimes referred to simply as ‘The Claws’, the State of the Tigress is probably one of her arcane weapon’s most trademark of forms and has gained her the title ’The Tempted Tigress’. This begins with her moving the center ring behind her body and then getting the two outer rings each around one of her wrists. After this, by making the chain links large enough to fit snuggly around her fingers, she is capable of forming bladed edges pointing upwards from the back of her fingers and downwards from the inside. Additionally there is always one link dug into the space between the furthest part of the fingernail and her knuckle. This final link, one on each finger of each hand, allows its bladed section to elongate into curved claws giving her a fabulous set of 10 curved, tearing extremities on her hands. This is by far her favorite out of her Grim States but is still the most seldom seen as it damages her hands, despite regeneration from enhance, and is also difficult to activate due to the complex positioning.

History:
[color=]"" – Vikel, Cere[/color]

Tl;dr

History: Cere, Vikiel what a story what a long tedious sorrow filled life-yeah he's strong but trust me it wasn't easy getting there. So let me tell you just how much effort, time, and trials it took him to get where he is now. So I'll start as some of the most famed stories do: "A long long time ago" during an era of chaos when the Gotei 13 was still fully establishing itself a boy was born. A boy not of the spirit but of the human world and this is where Cere's story begins.

When Cere was born he did not have it easy and his mother had it worse for she died in child birth, his stepfather aka his mothers 2nd husband however was alive and took him in feeling obligated to his dead wife. However he was not a very good father for he had fallen into an intense grief when Cere was only 3. Who he had thought as his father began drinking heavely and slowly became more and more violent and heavy a drinker. His father one day in one of his drunken fits was trashing their living room when Cere entered to ask him for a drink. His "father" turned to him and saw him only as another receptacle for his anger and beat the 3-year old senseless. Luckily for Cere the neighbors called the police because of the disturbing screams they heard coming from the Hikle(the last name of his step-father) household. The police came and knocked on the door but no answer came so they were forced to break down the door only to find that the father was laying on the coach with slits in his throat having killed himself after being driven insane by his grief.

The police also found Cere beaten and bruised with heavy injuries, in fact they rushed him to a hospital but by the time they got there he had died. They tried to resuscitate him but it was unsuccessful and he passed on at the ripe young of 3. However his troubles were far from over for now he was a plus and was stuck wandering around the world. In fact he didn't even realize that he was dead and he tried to talk to those of the living who he could still see. Of course none responded until one an old lady-an ancient lady could see him. She beckoned to him and fearfully he approached her but after several minutes he went to her and the 2 walked back to the old lady's house. Cere later discovered that the lady's name was "Miarna" and was actually an outcast from a place she called "soul society".

Cere listened on with intense interest and by the time she finished her story he was amazed by the old women who was actually something she called a "soul reaper". She told him she saw a spark in him that she had had when she was much younger. It stirred in her memories of her youth for now she was over 1000 years old and her former powers as a soul reaper had almost disappear from not being used for so long. However this boy who had a similar spark that she had caused her to reawaken inside powers long forgotten. So in a way she "raised" the boy(or rather his soul) with both strict discipline and soft love balancing it out as best she could. She soon found that despite the boy being dead he could move things with his energy which she called "reiatsu". Cere was fascinated with his new found abilities and began to experiment with them.

One day after a long while about 70 years to be exact(he now looked 7) he was experimenting with his powers in a park. His so called "Reiatsu" however drew the attention of 2 nearby hollows who in turn headed for the source of powerful energy. Miarna who had went to the store arrived to find a hollow attacking Cere and she jumped in its path. The hollow bite her entire middle and as she died from the fatal wound she looked to her adopted son with teared eyes, a smile, and these words "don't take the same path as I did" at this she died and the hollow devoured both her gigai and her soul completely. The other hollow however became enraged and ate the 1st hollow after which it turned its attention to cere with hungry eyes. Cere saw the look but instead of feeling fear for the humongous frightful hollow he felt anger welling up from his very core. The hollow attacked but its hand was slammed to the ground(keep in mind these are weak hollows) followed by its body which was being pushed down by a tremendous spiritual pressure. Cere's anger had burst from his core and spread out crushing all around him....including the hollow. Of course after this feat his courage waned and he ran away from the creature before it could recover.

He was not successful in his flight for his reiatsu was to obvious and he was constantly hunted by the hollows. He endured this for 20 more years upon which he now looked 10, finally at this age he was able to gain some semblance of control over his powers and could finally defend himself when he came upon the creatures called "hollows". After another 10 years(he's 11 at this point) he was swarmed by a sum of 20 hollows who had met up and made a pact(they were more like grandfisher level so they had some intelligence) to kill the boy and split him up between them. So the hollows all attacked Cere at once, Cere was able to hold them off for a while but he soon began to tire from over using his powers. Of course once again lady luck smiled on him and several black clad figures appeared before him and slayed the 20 infernal beasts.

The figures were shinigami and he only recognized what they were from what Miarna had told him in the past. The 3 shinigami turned to each other 1 nodded at the others and 2 of them left him with Cere. The shinigami turned back to cere and the boy noticed that the shinigami was wearing a strange badge of some sort around his arm-he was a lieutenant. Cere of course did not know this and just stared up at the shinigami's gleaming blade. After a short explanation from the shinigami about what he was going to do and where Cere would end up he used his blade to preform soul burial on him, finally sending him from the world of the living.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Several moments later Cere arrived in soul society in the zaraki district--yes that's right the absolute worst place he could have gone. It seemed lady luck only shined on him in his time of most need. Cere wandered around the place for days until he became extremely hungry and approached one of the men in the district who had a couple pieces of bread with him. Cere begged the man for some bread but was unsuccessful and ended up being beat down by the same man for even bothering him. However the man was surprised as he glanced back to see the boy he had so thoroughly beat stand back up looking defiant.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The 1st Encounter:

*The man turned completely back around to look at the beat up boy with a cruel smile*what's yer name boy*he called back to Cere as he looked at him with a smirk*

*Cere just stared at him defiantly and wiped some blood and dirt from his face. He felt his anger rising again and didn't completely understand why the man wouldn't give him a small piece of the bread. However no matter what the man would do he would not walk away without some food for he knew that in this place survival of the fittest was the only rule there was*

*the man sneered at the boy*tch you ask for bread and won't even give me something in exchang let alone your own name. Fool!!*he said with annoyance and then walked towards the boy at a fast pace. When he reached Cere he punched him so hard that he went flying into the wall of a shop. The man then saw that Cere still stood back up despite the pain, at this he ran over and kicked Cere several times*

*Cere fell to the ground in pain but endured it whilst he felt his anger rise again and again with every painful strike to his body. He knew soon that he would not be able to contain the anger*

*the man however was ignorant to any of this and simply kept beating Cere down whilst yelling dow at him with annoyance and contempt*Pathetic boy. Your rude and you make a look of defiance to ME!! the very one who you seek to gain food from*he spits on Cere as he kicks him in the side*you sicken me, your worse then a goddamn hollow*at this the man turned away from the beaten boy and began walking away*

*As Cere heard the mans words and felt the hits it reminded him of 2 events. 1.) The way his father had treated him and 2.) the hollow that had killed Miarna. The words were the final straw needed to light his inner fire and he stood. As he stood and looked at the man his reiatsu suddenly flared as his anger and released emotions erupted from his small body. The man's eyes widened as he was pushed towards the ground but was barely able to withstand it and stay standing. The man looked over his shoulder at the boy-Cere and saw that there was Reiatsu radiating off of the boys body and that wind was picking up and swirling in places. Cere had an angry and determined look in his eyes as he stared down the man. Now he finally spoke*my names Cere. Cere, Vikiel and I want some bread!*he said intensely despite his small stature and young age. The man's eyes widened in anger and he turned and ran towards Cere with a burst of adrenaline. However it didnt last for the as soon as the man came within a foot of Cere he collapsed at the boys feet spilling the bread onto the ground*

*Cere looked at the man and picked up the bread and left looking irritated and from that day on most left him alone due to the display he had made of the local "BA" of the area*
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When Cere needed food he would always go to the so called "wrong people" and would end up fighting them for the food so with this through out his next 70 years(making him look 18) he gained remarkable fighting skills. He learned quickly through each battle but even with his strength he was still left with both scars of the flesh and mind. Also because of how infamous he became he couldn't gain a single wink of sleep because people who wanted to make a name for themselves or were just violent always clustered to him to kill or defeat him. Cere began to hate power and for a time he refrained from using his and instead developed his abilities with the blade for he had found a weapon when he defeated one of his opponents who had wielded a blade. The man who had wielded it however had not been very skilled which was why he had lost to Cere in the 1st place. However Cere hating death did not kill the man just as he did not kill any of his adversaries.

So for the next 10 years(he now looks 19) he instead used the blade to fight. He became proficient with the blade and felt stronger with it. However one day he witnessed something truly amazing. He saw a shinigami fighting another man within the rukongai and the 2's reiatsu had literally pinned Cere to the ground(heheheh guess who the 2 were). As he looked up at the 2 he noticed that there was a 3rd party a women with a staff that seemed to have the ability to change its length(hmmmm Moogle who has that ability). After a prolonged battle the man who seemed to be the better man and the women appeared to kill the other man. The mans body fell to the earth and slammed into a building destroying it and covering the body in rubble. The other man and the women with the staff left and Cere was finally able to stand but upon doing so he felt something...Something dark. The same reiatsu that had been fighting above him for the past battle, the reiatsu of the man who had slammed into the ground. He was not dead and the rubble blasting away from his body proved it. The man saw Cere and looked at him hungrily, Cere felt his reiatsu and then his body itself being absorbed by the man. After a minute he passed out thinking that he was dead. However when he came to he was laying down in an endless sky with no earth anywhere in sight. For in fact he had not came to he had entered his inner world.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
His Inner World and the mans name:

*Cere did not feel any pressure here but he did feel wind for it was everywhere swirling around him. As well as the wind he felt and saw power for within the wind was a nearly invisible grayish green reiatsu swirling around constantly changing and shifting forms. Then something solidified to some extent. However almost no physical form presented itself..only 2 glowing grayish green eyes formed as the sky darkened. Cere looked at them as they stared through him as if he was not even there. Then a voice sounded booming around him from everywhere*

?: Why do you enter my realm soul?*the voice said speaking to Cere*

Cere: I-I dont know

?:You dont know!! how pitiful it seems as if you need assistance lest you die*it 1st sounds angry but then its mood switches to one of slight concern*

Cere: Yes...I think. Can you help me?*he asked with a hopeful look in his eyes as he stared at the green eyes*

?: Yes...I can but you must make a contract with me*it said now in a bored tone as its moods shifted like the wind that it was*

Cere: A contract? what must i do to sign it?

?: Give me your name*it said to him as if felt he was the absolutely stupidest thing in the universe*and I shall protect you.

Cere: *he nodded vigorously and then spoke*I am Cere. Cere, Vikiel*he said with minimal confidence to the thing*

?:NOT GOOD ENOUGH!*it yelled with anger*

*Cere stumbled and fell back and away from the thing but then regained his resolve and looked at the thing defiantly*It better be Spirit. My name is CERE. CERE VIKIEL. I am your master!! obey me*at this the wind picked up and whipped him off his feet again and to the ground however the eyes glimmered and a laugh was heard*

?: hahahahahaah. Good enough boy*then the eyes blinked out of existence*

*Cere as well opened his eyes which had turned from brown to green. As he opened his eyes he saw his reiatsu being sucked from him and a blast of wind fired from his body knocking the man aside. The man looked at him viciously but smiled for he saw that the boy was now unable to move. The man approached Cere and when he got to him he looked down at him and spoke as he took up a piece of his broken blade*I will not kill you then. But remember my name and fear it for the rest of your weak existence*at this he cut Cere across the face deeply sure to leave a scar and as he did said his name*Tenebrae*at that he disappeared using immense speed and leaving Cere there weakened where he collapsed unconscious*
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Soul Academy and the start of his real troubles:

*Later on Cere woke up in a room-a nice room-a clean well kept room with a women tending his wound very close to his face. He wanted to move, to say something but couldn't for the beauty of the women appalled him. She was flawless, perfect, a jewel in his world of pain and violence. The women noticed he was awake and staring at her and smiled as she drew back and looked down at him*hello sleepy head*she said with a warm kind smiled which again moved him to his core and stirred something he had locked deep inside him*

Where am I?..*he asked her trying to sit up but found he couldn't. He then looked to her*...and who are you?*She smiled at him feeling that she might have stirred something*this is the soul academy and I am Ainara one of the nurses here*she said with her perfectly smooth just high enough feminine tone. Cere couldn't help but smile*the soul academy? why am I here?*he asked a bit perplexed*oh so many questions after just waking up after 3 days" She replied a bit teasingly. Cere just stared for a moment and then looked away embarrassed. She giggled quietly and then stood*well if you need anything just call I'll be nearby*she smiled at him as he looked back at her as she left. As she exited the room he sighed a bit and then ran over what he knew of the Soul Academy from Miarna. "hmmm well I know that its where shinigami are trained...um I know that only the strong or considerable of strength can enter so..." at that last thought a realization dawned on him, what he thought was revolutionary*am I strong then*he said out loud accidentally and as he did a man walked in. The man looked about his age and was wearing what Cere assumed was the traditional outfit of the students of the academy for he had saw a couple others walk past his door wearing the same outfit*

*the man smiled at him and looked him over once*heh got in a rough fight?*he asked jokingly*good thing you survived*he had heard Cere's question*as to the strong question. Why yes you are*he said it so simply that it had to be the truth*no wonder you were able to survive in the rukongai so long especially in that district. Yikes*he said with a bit of disgust towards the place. While the man talked Cere observed him looking him over as well trying to gauge the man before him. The man had medium length messy brown hair and a couple scars on his left arm that looked to be self inflicted but not very deep. The man was of average build and was fairly tall he presumed that he was probably a bit taller. He then noticed that the man had not introduced himself and was rudely talking to him*hey*the man stopped talking and replied*

Man: Yes?

Cere: could you at least tell me your name before you start rambling uselessly*he said to the man a bit annoyed which showed on his face*

Man:*he looks a bit sheepish at the comment*oh I'm sorry. Im Zume Tatasuko and you?

Cere: Cere Vikiel*he said a bit less annoyed but finding the man a bit more interesting as he felt his reiatsu level*

Zume: *he nods*well im sorry I've wasted enough of your time. I'll leave you be*he waved and smiled and then exited the room as suddenly as he had entered*
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Cere knew he would see more of this so called "Zume" and he was right for after several days of recovery he signed up to the school and when he arrived at his class he found the man: Zume there. He and Zume bonded like brothers and became great friends over their years in the academy. However there was one thing that got in the way of their friendship and that was a women. Not any women either: Ainara the so called "nurse" who Cere had met when he awoke. Cere and Zume were both in love with her for how could one not be. She was perfect, beautiful, kind, caring, playful and once agan beautiful. The 2 got in many fights over her but finally Zume went to her and confessed before Cere could get the chance. This act tore Cere's trust in Zume away and the 2 slowly drifted apart and became only aquaintances.

Years after the 2 graduated Zume married Ainara and by this time both Zume and Cere were both within a division. Cere the 9th divison as a 3rd seat and Zume as a 3rd seat in the 12th Division. The 2 at this point had a fierce rivalry for Cere could not have Ainara so instead he vied to surpass Zume in all other ways that he could. One day however Cere went too far and challenged Zume to a battle, now normally this would be fine but Cere took it too far lost control. With this Cere was tried with a small sentence and soon returned as an unseated member of the 9th division. This however just made his grudge against zume all the worse and over the years he messed with Zume's life as much as possible.

Then an event happened, the death of Ainara and when Cere found out that it had been Zume's fault because of his sword spirit he attacked Zume in rage. However Zume had expected this and made it look as if Cere did it so when he was found he looked guilty and was sentenced to death however he escaped to the human world and could not be found since. To this day he still holds a huge grudge against Zume.

Personality: An esteemed member of the noble family of Kuchiki, Harime is a proud and aloof individual, preferring to rise above her emotions as a show of maturity and superiority among others. In this way she upholds a facade of cold, uncaring apathy, looking at the world through a lense of objectivity and logic. Still, despite her efforts, no one is perfect, as beneath the surface Harime is just as much a young girl as any other, with wishes, dreams, and aspirations. Among her flaws is her haughty nature, made more noticeable by her proper manner. Still, beyond these things is a girl desperately trying her utmost to rise up and do proud to her family, in particular her father to whom she holds immense adoration.

Beyond the mask of nobility is a secret love for excitement and a drive to rise above the rabble and distinguish herself to society. Still, she is a rather lonely soul, as her position drives her to push most away with the facade of cold that she drapes about herself, causing most to flee her and thus depriving her of friends that, deep down, she so sorely wishes she had.

History:
"There is room for both beauty and cruelty in this world. Whether the two are equal however, is hard to tell," – Kuchiki, Harime.

Raised as the scion of the noble family of Kuchiki, Harime has been pushed to do her utmost for her entire life. Everything from her daily activities, to social interactions have been carefully watched and graded by her mother and father both. She has been groomed for greatness, and while she bears this burden proudly, it is a heavy one, and she is young. While she never complains or protests the harsh expectations laid for her by her predecessors, and parents, she is secretly weary of it all, wishing she could just live a normal life...as a common girl. Still, she is a proud girl, and while her brief moments might be spent daydreaming of another life, she instead spends them training, so as to hide the hard lump she feels in her heart.

Enrolled in the academy early on, Harime did stunningly in all fields however, at the behest of her father, was pushed to focus her efforts on the art of combat and synchronicity with her zanpakuto. Still even when she discovered her blade's name and proved to her father that she could achieve shikai, she was given oh so little recognition.

With each continued success her father merely raised the bar and she withdrew further into her aloof facade, trying to impress him with maturity, and hide from her own emotions.

As she neared her last year of the academy she felt immense relief, but also building trepidation. Her fears were realized when, upon graduating, her father made no effort to show that he was happy with her effort, he merely nodded, a look in his eyes saying that it was to be expected, she was a Kuchiki after all.

She cried that night.

---

Only a year later, after she'd been assigned to the 7th division, the academy called on her and a girl who had been one of her underclassman, by one year, for a demonstration to the Academy's new entrants. For no reason other than boredom, and perhaps the tiny hope that her father might see her and recognize her skill, she decided to participate. That was the day she met Rēku.

Rivalry's Beginning

Giggling merrily as she skipped into the arena, Rēku looked upon the new students at the academy. They were all...Older than her...Why couldn't there just be one, just one, person that was her age? Oh well it didn't matter one way or another. Then there was the arena. What they had prepared outdoors for this wonderfully pointless event was actually quite nice! You had some free pillars, a couple arch ways, it was plain, ordinary, and they even had sand in the pit to make them pretend to feel safer even! Then there was the instructor introducing Rēku and her opponent. It was a normal speech about how they were two of the top students of their class, blah blah, woof woof. He ranted a lot, but it was to be expected. After all the instructors had no other true talent then babbling to students. Rēku jumped up and down waving to the new students still giggling happily though.

Having entered at the same time as her would-be competitor, Harime's cold blue eyes drifted over the crowd, their gaze uncaring even as they returned to the instructor who stood between them. She said nothing, made no movements, 'cept those of her eyes, while she stood there...waiting. She was not what one would call a patient girl, but she was not impatient either. No, she lay somewhere inbetween, always waiting for the right time, or perhaps simply waiting for something worth her time at all. Nothing had appeared yet, and she did not expect to be surprised here, though such might be a nice change from the monotany of the world.

It hardly mattered. Nothing did. After another minute of the instructor's gibbering, her voice cut through his as her cold eyes lay upon him, "May we begin Ousu-san, I tire of waiting." The man turned to meet her eyes, but the moment he did he regretted it and turned away, taking a moment to regain his wits and speak to the crowd, "Without further ado, we shall begin the demonstration. Stay outside the bounds of the arena, we wouldn't want any accidents," his voice lilted joyfully before he used shunpo to exit the area himself.

Safely beyond the boundary he nodded to the two and called out, "You may begin!"

Harime's eyes turned to Rēku, as devoid of interest as they always were. Waiting...watching...judging.

This was her way.

Rēku was already getting more excited than she probably should've, or at least that's probably what everyone was thinking from her overly happy appearance. She wasn't overdoing the whole giggly happy kid routine was she? She shrugged it away in her mind doing a handstand while waiting on the instructor to finally shut up. Seriously, did they really need to rant this freakin' much? Then the other girl cut him off, thank god for that, and he got his boring self out of the way. Rēku finally ended with a cartwheel to stand up straight as the fool finally began the...what was this again...? Bout? Spar? Play? Ummmm...Demonstration! That was it! Rēku giggled once more gripping her zanpakuto's tsuba with two fingers looping through the holes where the floor design was to slowly begin sliding out her best friend excited to wake them. "Let's try and make this good, what do ya say?" She says innocently.

Her head tilting almost imperceptibly to the side, Harime's eyes briefly slid over the girl from top to bottom, then back to her face, looking into the graduate's purple eyes. Her gaze stayed on there, gazing at the eyes whose color was far too royal for the girl whose head they lay within. "That's not up to me," Harime replied dryly, her right hand gracefully drifting to the hilt of her blade, which was held in the sash on the left side of her waist. Her left hand hovered just over the opening of the sheath at her side. After a moment of brief thought, she spoke again, "I hope you're going to stop your foolishness now, and fight, because I'm growing quite...bored."

Rēku frowned like the child she was. "You know...You're not too fun..." Rēku finished pulling out her zanpakuto from its sheath by the tsuba twirling it slowly until after a couple of flips she was holding her zanpakuto horizontally infront of her with her right hand smiling. 'If miss boredom wanted to be so dull then so be it' Rēku slipped her tongue out of the corner of her lip smirking. 'Time to put a smile on her face...' Rēku then continued to lick the blade, tsuba to point. "Careful what you wish for...Devour and create...Ryūshi Tōzoku..." As a result Ryūshi Tōzoku began to glow a bright pinkish-purple color as the blade shrinks down to twenty-seven inches in length the glow dying down but not fading completely. Rēku grins as sparkles of pink and purple light seem to slowly exude from the blade.

"How crass," she mocked boredly as she drew her blade from its sheath, slowly, effortlessly. It was more like the blade was an extension of her body, than a tool for her use. Stepping towards her opponent, Harime began crossing the distance with a kind of elegance not often seen in many her age. One might have said it was a sign of maturity...or perhaps the result of a harsh regiment put in place by the noble house of Kuchiki.

It was the former.

"Rejoice," Harime said with her usual tone, "You are fortunate enough to witness my blade." With her meaning expressed, the girl let the tip of her zanpakuto enter its sheath once more. "Tesselate," with the phrase begun she withdrew the blade from its sheath, reiryoku now attached to its tip, "...Reitō seishin(冷凍精神 'Frozen spirit')." The tip emerged from her sheath and with it a large wisp of reiryoku came into view, its light blue shimmer drifting about the girl, always staying several feet from her form. There was a light shimmering as light was refracted against hundreds of miniscule ice crystals, which drifted down through the air and drapped the young shinigami's clothes, turning them a shade of pure white that one might describe as heavenly in its nature.

Her eyes resting once more on Rēku as she continued forwards, never increasing her pace, but never stopping. There were only three meters left between them. She was silent throughout.

Watching...

...Waiting...

...Judging.

She was a Kuchiki after all, and this girl was but a member of a fallen noble house. She was despicable.

Rēku blinked a couple times. Did this girl want to kill her with boredom? Technically she had a decent shikai release. It looked somewhat nice though she was so ungraceful with the semi-beautiful release. Rēku lowered her blade into the sand letting it slide in and secretely release three blade bits into the ground hidden under the ruse of just sliding it through sand and spinning around and kicking up sand with the blade to get in Harime's eyes as one blade bit launches from the tip towards Harime's left leg to slow down her opponent's movement as Rēku giggles jumping backwards onto her hands then pushing up and landing on her feet hopping back a couple more feet after landing.

The moment the sand was thrust into the air towards her eyes didn't even make her flinch, as immediately each individual granule of sand froze, and as they did the wisp could be seen lazily passing before her form. The crystals of ice then continued to spread from the tiny grains of sand, connecting them in less than two seconds. The ground was touched as well, freezing over somewhat. Harime's eyes glanced down and she hopped upwards and to the side lightly, her clothes fluttering as she did, nearly touching the small wave-like formation of ice. However, rather than her foot truly touch the formation, it touched only hardened air, before pushing off of it and landing on the other side of the ice, where the ground was not frozen. Her head tilted once more as she continued to approach, never ceasing her movement, "Why do you run, Tatasuko?" She queried almost curiously.

As she did so the faintly glowing mist passed behind her, and where the glittering fragments of light fell, the ground froze.

Rēku giggles merrily as she jumps back onto her hands again, and once more also pushes off into the air landing on her feet hopping back another couple yards smiling cheerfully as the blade bit that had gone for Harime's leg before came around and went for her left side to wound her. If it were to come into contact with Harime then instead of a cut they would feel that part of their body ripped away including a millimeter of what isn't touched. "What? You don't like to fight me at a distance like this? Or is it just embarrassing having to exert more effort to beat a mere Tatasuko? Or is it the fact that you'll lose to one because you won't be able to handle my power?" Rēku teased sticking her tongue out tauntingly hoping that this would keep Harime's attention from the blade bit. Secretly the other three blade bits had tunneled to where Rēku stood now but continued backing up step by step as the ground weakens after her as she slowly lures Harime into her trap.

An eyebrow rose at her words, then both lowered, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Surely you jest," she said in a strangely mocking tone, had her eyes not narrowed, one might have thought she was ignoring what the girl had said. Her actions proved otherwise.

Blade raising before her, the ground freezing just behind, the wisp of reiryoku traveled to the tip of her outstretched blade as she drew a delicate line from left to right. Where the wisp passed ice was revealed by its movement, forming a thin sheet of the frigid reishi. "Tachi-mai(裁ち枚 'Cutting sheets')," she proclaimed, the tip of her blade pressing against the center of the ice blade she had created. As she did so, the wisp suddenly darted down towards her own legs, circling around far too close for comfort. She, instinctively, hopped forwards once even as the sheet of ice suddenly flew forwards in a surge of movement, cutting through the air to reach its target. However, the wisp was not quite fast enough and so the tiny blade managed to just barely nick the edge of her leg through her clothes. She gritted her teeth, trying not to show any sign of pain...or weakness, to her adversary.

She didn't like the feeling. She knew the little traitor would laugh, and she hated that even more than the feeling.

"Seishin!" She called out, and immediately the wisp responded, shrinking into a miniscule point and in the same moment vanishing outright. The girl had noticed the tiny blade now as it curved back around to strike her.

Too slow, she raised her blade slightly, but even as she did the wisp suddenly emerged from the opening of her sheath, shooting forwards as it did so, and striking the blade bit head on. In the same movement, Harime had jumped to her diagonally forwards and to the left, so as to distance herself from the bit.

She glanced forwards at Rēku and noticed that the blade appeared measurably shorter than it had been before. Harime's eyes narrowed at that fact and as they did she decided to abandon certain notions in favor of ending this quickly. It wouldn't do to disappoint her father.

Meanwhile the blade bit would find itself buried within the wisp that was Seishin, a physical manifestation of her sword spirit, or at least a partial one. While Seishin could not contest its fellow zanpakuto for long, it managed to slow the shard down for roughly five seconds, before the blade extricated itself, now covered in tiny ice crystals, its form reflecting far more light than before, rendering it considerably more visible than it had been prior. Harime intended to make use of this in the future.

Rēku giggled cheerfully at the sight of her blade bit ripping away part of Harime's flesh. The minute amount of reaction Harime expressed was good enough. "Having a problem over there?" Rēku asked tauntingly. At this point her blade bits inside the ground had made a crescent moat around Rēku and thus were ready to surprise Harime. The blade bits moved in between the two girls underground and began zig zagging in a pattern that would actually look somewhat awe inspiring if it could have been seen preparing to strike at Harime from underground if she tried to come at Rēku and would move to intercept too, though the sad thing for Harime was that if she just stayed still they would also pounce on her. The one above ground had broken free of the wisp. Rēku believed she was beginning to learn a decent amount of Harime's zanpakuto, but she knew better than to assume she knew it fully. The freed blade bit would move to strafe accross Harime's lower back leaving a particle trail all the way to, through, and after it attacked. The tsuba on Rēku's blade had also started to glow though this was more of a blue-purple color which really helped show the flower outlined by the tsuba. As to the troublesome blade coming towards Rēku she simple leaned back down a bridge to watch the blade trail over her head.

She began moving once more, her senses noting the tiny blade beginning to trail towards her once more. She raised her own blade and then pulled her arm backwards somewhat. In the moment that she did, the sheet of ice that had just flown over her adversary had began to drop towards the ground, having lost momentum. However, as she pulled, the particle thin string of frozen reishi connecting the ice to her blade became visible and it came back. The blunt inner edge of the ice sheet would slam into Rēku's back, pulling her forwards if she could do nothing against it.

However, her situation was far more dire than that. With the passing of Tachi-mai was brought the same crystals of ice that ever drifted from the wisp's form. They had already touched the sand leading from where Harime had stood when she'd fired, all the way to where the Tatasuko now stood. The ground froze, but not just on the surface, the ice traveled downwards and as it did, the little Kuchiki became aware of the other blade bits below. Immediately she shifted gears, lunging forwards and away from the blade bit that attempted to clip her back. The ice continued to spread, moving outwards from its formerly two meters wide path, spreading, in seconds, to a width of seven meters, with Harime jumping just over the surface, solidifying an invisible trail of reishi barely a milimeter above the ground. To Rēku this would have been essentially invisible due to the utterly tiny amount of space between foot and ground respectively. The effect would however make it appear almost as if Harime's feet were gliding across the ground, giving a dainty grace to her movements. She was closing the distance fast, but as she did she noted the movement beneath the ice upon, which she ran.

Left, right, whirling upwards were the tiny blades. "Seishin," she beckoned, taking in a deep breath and exerting a small layers of reiryoku upon her clothes and flesh. As the first blade emerged and struck, her blade struck it in kind, hitting it away. She caught the second as well, but the third nearly hit her, before the wisp engulfed it, swept around her and caught the other two as they circled back around. Harime felt a tiny smile, one that would be so subtle as to barely be seen, tug at her lips. The elation of battle had begun to touch her nerves, she couldn't help it. However, she would not be lost in it, this she must never do.

With every moment that passed the crystals of ice propagated, in the sand as well as on Reku's flesh. Soon it would be time.

"Seishin!" She called once more and the wisp, which had briefly circled back to catch the third blade and then flown several meters away to release them, now returned, vanishing, then emerging from her sheath anew.

The last blade bit, in the wake of the three that had attempted to strike her, through the air at her side from behind. She spun on her heel, slashing behind her even as she continued to slide backwards. Her blade struck the tiny shard, and as it did...the shard was sent flying many more meters away than it ought to have been. She continued her momentum, turning on the same heel as if she had been skating on ice, and done a spin as she slashed. She once more faced Reku, the distance almost closed now. It appeared that Harime was serious now.

Rēku had been wanting to test her theories, and she got what she wanted. The ice seemed to become attached to her body, sadly proving her theory right although it seemed to spread faster than she had anticipated. On top of that this lovely little blade of ice coming back towards which was fine. Rēku licked her lips and lifted her zanpakuto as the remaining twenty-three blade bits spark on each other as they fly out in random directions scattering particles in their wake as two interrept and take in the ice blade which seemed to slow a bit, not much, but a bit. This seemed to create a new colored particle, interesting indeed.

This third color seemed to flow out with the other particles, its shade a silvery blue. This could possibly change things for what she was about to do, but she would have to wait and see. The blade bits began to circle Rēku at a quickly growing pace surrounding her as she stands up in an almost tornado like fashion. The rising heat seemed to also slow down the spreading ice upon her which was a plus. "Well it's been fun..." Rēku mused giggling softly. "But I think it's time to wrap this up, after all...We are responsible individuals with duties to get to!" She says clearly teasing and mockingly. As she did this though the blade bits created a tornado of particles flowing around her, and they only seemed to grow in number as the blades spun faster and faster and steam could also be seen from the beat mixing with the ice. "Bankai..." As she spoke the word the particles seemed to start moving differently as the four blade bits near Harime had begun dancing together creating more particles. "Suisei Ryūshi Tōzoku..." Rēku hadn't shown her bankai up until this point, it had been her little secret, but now she wanted everyone to know, wanted people to finally realize that she wasn't just a little kid in the way, Rēku wanted them all to know, that they were the ones in her way. All of the particles in the area that had been created up until that moment that had been floating around seemed to suddenly surge into all of the blade bits closest to them. The ice that had been slowly trying to encase Rēku shattered and quickly evaporated due to the heat and pressure being exerted from Rēku and her zanpakuto. Once all the particles had been absorbed into the blade bits and everyone could see once more, they would finally notice that each blade bit glowed even brighter now. A vibrant pink light shining brightly from each individual blade bit and as they flew there was no longer a stream of particles left in their wake, no. Now they were moving even faster and without any trace at all.

Retreating somewhat as she noted the strange movements of the tiny blades, Harime moved to a distance of 2.5 meters, where she stayed, eyes narrowed slightly. Biting her lip for a brief moment, Harime's eyes darted about for a brief moment before settling once more on her opponent. "I assure you, my duties far outweigh yours, yet here I am, dragged by these imbeciles for a demonstration for the academy," she scoffed, the slightest of annoyance apparent in her voice. Then Reku said that fateful word, one that even she had to admit she was shocked to hear.

Her eyes widened slightly as the the transformation finished, the blade's name stated in its completed form. How, how could this undesirable little bitch have bankai?! Gritting her teeth and exhaling long and slow, Harime did her best to return to the calm in her mind. Letting one's emotions get the best of them was equivalent of weakness...and she was not weak. She refused to be. Turning away from the absurdity of an academy graduate possessing, no, insulting the sanctity of bankai, Harime raised her zanpakuto above her head, its blade vertical in orientation. As she did so, she closed her eyes, took in one more calming breath, and proclaimed, "Hyōmaku(雹幕 'Hail curtain')."

Immediately Seishin gravitated to her blade, whirling about its form with increasing intensity, as it did so, the tiny shards of ice built up, slammed together by the speed and cohesion of their form. Harime's eyes met Reku's just a moment before her blade whipped down to her side and she pushed forwards, Seishin's form having apparently vanished. All that was left behind were what appeared to be a small storm of tiny ice shards that circled her blade. Mindful of their continually growing size, though they grew slower than her normal ice had, Harime held her blade out away from her body.

Then, her ice notifying her of the instability of the ground, Harime pushed off and upwards, flying into the air as she did so and slashing upwards as her body moved in the same direction. Eight glimmering six inch long shards of jagged hail were thrown from the blade as she slashed, each leaving a glimmering trail of ice crystals behind. Harime was done playing with this girl.

Rēku smiled and giggled looking up at Harime lifting her free hand making a fist then lifting one single finger, then moving it from side to side mockingly. One of the blade bits that was now behind Harime but still beneath her and near the ground started coming back towards Rēku and Harime, well they all did--all four of them, but this one stayed near the ground and as Harime tried launching an assault at her angle in the sky a beam launched from the single blade bit intercepting and vaporizing the ice assault leaving no immediate trace of Harime's attempt to strike at Rēku who continued to just smile and giggle at the feeble attempt. "What a fun little game! Are you going to throw more next?" She says with a child-like voice and curiousity some in the audience if they could even hear Rēku might even think it was genuine, hopeful though Harime would pick up on the fact that it was a jab at her futile attempt had been. However, Harime didn't even blink, her gaze unwavering as, almost from thin air, four formations of ice began to form, far more rapidly than normal. Harime pulled the tiny strands that connected them to her blade, channeling her reiryoku into them and sending the four attacks forth.

Pressing reiryoku onto the surface of her feet as she began to fall, Harime made contact with the tiny threads and pushed off of them to soar further into the air. As she ascended she flicked her blade in several directions and with each movement one shard that rotated about her zanpakuto was flung in an apparently random direction, each striking something. Some merely hit the ground, while others careened into the pillars and box-shaped obstacles that were scattered about the field.

As each struck ice erupted from them, covering three meters of space almost instantaneously upon doing so, before the speed at which they spread slowed back to its normal pace. As the last shard was released Seishin once more took form, emerging from her sheath as a wisp. "Be careful what games you play, little girl," Harime retorted before letting herself fall once more, Seishin ever present. However, she had a long way to fall, as through her ministrations she had risen roughly 20 meters into the air.

Rēku frowned pouting Harime really was no fun. It wouldn't be fun if she was careful! Rēku quickly smiled giggling once more. As boring as Harime's personality was, she wasn't half bad to go a few rounds with. In fact Rēku hadn't had this much fun in a long time!

Watching her adversary frown as she fell towards the earth, Harime brought her blade in front of her chest, its alignment horizontal. Placing her hand on the back edge of the blade near the end, Harime spoke, her tone ominous, "Shimo no genzen(霜の厳然 'Grave of frost')." The effect was immediate. Pillars of ice sprung forth from every surface that her ice had touched: The boxes and pillars, the sand, and even some of the space around Reku herself, which had not melted from the release of her bankai. However, what was perhaps most dangerous about the technique was not what you could see, but what you couldn't. With each tiny movement that Seishin made, light refracted and reflected within and between a hundred or so spikes and pillars of pressurized ice. It was like the glare from snow on a sunny day in winter, only far more blinding.

Rēku had to give Harime credit, at least she had a zanpakuto that could create beautiful art since it was apparent that Harime had no true artistic value. The blinding light was not expected nevertheless...a smile came to her face and she licked her lips. "Go ahead, Ryūshi..." Since Ryūshi Tōzoku had already tasted Harime's blood she didn't require Rēku to guide her, in other words she was awake for the hunt. The three blade bits in their small group sped up and kept twisting and intertwining keeping in an almost majestic pattern of flight as they attempted to assault Harime on their own in addition to the blade bit that had been underneath Harime. To top it off three more separated from the tornado of blades which then changed its pattern to keep defending Rēku the best possible way for the number. The assaulting blade bits would then attack Harime, faster, with more agility, they would now slash and burn the opponent wherever they struck instead merely tearing away at their body. The best part? After the first assault was dealt with somehow by the first four the next three would step in, and of course Ryūshi Tōzoku would use her favorite method. Surround, cut them up a bunch, and if Rēku permitted, destroy...And because of the light, Rēku simply closed her eyes still giggling happily at the pure pleasure of the fight.

While Reku was blinded, Harime remained able to see, the light directed in such a way as to not interfere with her own sight. So it was in this way that the young shinigami managed to note that despite Reku's own blindness, her blade appeared to have no trouble tracking her down. Annoying, she thought even as she continued to plummet through the air. She only had two techniques left, and one of them only lasted for three minutes--hardly any time at all.

This would be it.

The tiny blades closed in. She struck at one, using the hit to push herself away in the air, then stepping on one of the nearly invisible threads of ice as she had before and pushing down and off of that to evade another flurry of blades. SHe couldn't do it forever, and she knew she'd never be able to attack if she had to continue defending.

So she tried something.

"Hyōmaku!" She stated, inciting the creation of fourteen shards of ice, all orbiting her blade. Using several threads and a twist of her blade, she entered a spin, slashing her blade out in all directions at once. As she did so, the shards flew about, each adjusted by a slight flick or shift of her blade. Each blade bit had two shards aimed just inches from its form and as they neared it the heat set them off, causing the shards to explode violently, their ice overlapping and creating seven cages of super dense ice around the blade bits. She knew they wouldn't last.

Exiting her spin, she pushed off of one more thread and shot downwards at high speed, but rather than aim at Reku herself, she slashed twice through the air, muttering under her breath. A moment afterwards three harsh impacts with the ground would come to Reku's attention, one behind and to her right, another behind and to her left and the other directly in front of her. After barely a half second the sound of movement through air could be heard from all three locations, approaching her. It was too bad she still couldn't see the flash of light.

Rēku just kept giggling. The noises she heard meant it was probably time. "Ryūshi Tōzoku I trust your judgement..." A simple thing to say, but all that is needed, after all the two had a strong bond, though that should be obvious given Rēku having obtained bankai already. Let Harime try, after all Rēku still had a few tricks up her sleeve.

From in front and to her right sheets of sharpened ice slammed into her barrier of blades, and from the left a blade batted away at the bits even as one of Harime's feet gently tapped a crystal of ice. Yet none of the three had been the true assault. It was the flash of light that was Seishin hurtling downwards at Reku that had been, and there was no time to dodge. Pinned from three sides and struck from above, Seishin would expand just two feet before striking, enveloping both combatants, and the remainder of Reku's tiny blades. The young Tatasuko would hear one word just before it did, "Shikoromo(死衣 'Shroud')." Then everything froze.

As their battle concluded, then interrupted by the actions of the Instructor, Harime could not help but be slightly surprised as her ice dissipated, revealing the glowing pink shield that surrounded Reku. They had tied, and as her eyes turned away, looking to the crowd where her father stood, watching, she bit her lip as he turned away.

Swallowing hard, her eyes turned back to Reku as she sheathed her blade where they stayed, bearly maintaining the facade of calm that defended her. "You're lucky I was holding back," she managed to say, disdain in her voice, before she turned away and strode gracefully from the arena—anger just barely apparent in the speed of her walk. What Reku wouldn't realize was that it was not just anger, but disappointment and sadness too.

She had failed her father again, and she knew that going home now would only earn her his cold stare, or a long, harsh lecture. So instead she went back to her division, where she closed the sliding door of her room, and froze it shut. No one dared enter for the duration of that night.

Respite

[insert captain – Harime interaction?]

Still, those were happier days, two years ago, when they had not yet been at war. Things are different now, and whether her father recognizes her or not, Harime's primary concern is survival. If she can manage that with dignity, perhaps the man will notice her after all.

She doubted it.

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: As cruel as the arctic winds, Seishin is unforgiving in her nature, never relenting and never giving any quarter. The spirit holds a certain fondness for her master though, hoping to help her where she can, but nonetheless she is a creature whose love is not expressed in gentleness, but through subtle cues hidden in her jagged icy exterior. It is in this way that Seishin has harshly pushed her counterpart to greater heights, though recognizing her talents and listening to her worries unlike her ungrateful father. Yes, Seishin is like a caring mother with a harsh sense of discipline and a strong penchant for tough love.

Shikai: “Tessellate,” Harime's cold voice drones, an inch of her blade slipping into its sheath, “...Reitō seishin(_冷凍精神 'Frozen spirit').” Its name stated, Harime pulls it once more from its sheath, and with it emerges a growing wisp of reiryoku. With its emergence, a gentle frost settles upon her clothes, bathing them in a glowing white that freezes and remains.

Abilities: Reitō seishin is a creature of order and purity, its master a being of stark and unyielding cold. These aspects mold its abilities, which lay within the glowing wisp of energy that drifts about its master's form. This wisp constantly emits tiny ice crystals, creating a trail in its wake. Should these crystals come into contact with anything 'cept air and their kin, they begin to tessellate, generating more and more crystals of ice, which rapidly engulf whatever they touch in beautiful fractals. However, this is not its only ability, for the frost may encroach upon the internal structure of what it touches, its ice forming within, rather than manifesting externally. In this case, the ice will attempt to bring its structure to a perfected state, increasing its durability and general effectiveness in any given area. Unfortunately, this perfection is fragile as the ice it is wrought from, and so it is doomed to destruction.

Beyond the wisp's primary functions, it will move to defend its master, as it is after all a partial manifestation of Seishin, her sword spirit. In close range combat, should an opening be noted, or a command given, Seishin will strike, in an attempt to make contact and spread its ice on Harime's opponents. Seishin's wispy form, while appearing fragile, is in actually rather robust as it is composed of one 1/10th of its master's reiryoku. However, what makes it difficult to destroy is the method through which it generates ice. In essence, Seishin uses the reiryoku of which it is composed to draw in surrounding reishi. As it is drawn in, the reishi is condensed into minuscule frozen crystals—a process which is fueld by the reiryoku from which it was create--it is for this reason that Seishin is so difficult to destroy as the ice within its form is so dense as to be exceedingly difficult to shatter or melt. It should be noted that direct contact, especially if prolonged, will generate ice over a surface at a drastically increased rate and density in comparison to merely coming into contact with the crystals that the wisp sheds. Lastly, while Harime may command Seishin both through their bond, or vocally, Seishin's movement and behavior is not directly under its master's control and so it will move in the way that it deems most effective, rather than what Harime considers such.

Should Seishin's form be destroyed, or dispersed by its master's command, the spirit may emerge once more from its sheath. However, each time it does so it requires at least 1/15th of Harime's reiryoku to do so.

Techniques
Tachi-mai(_裁ち枚 'Cutting sheets'): Drawing a line through the air with her blade, the wisp following the motion, Harime creates a thin blade of ice. Once formed, she states the technique's name and taps the thin blade with her own, sending it flying forth at an impressive speed. As the ice sweeps through the air it leaves behind glistening crystals of ice identical to those which emanate from the wisp. While the thin sheet is fragile if struck, the ice is nonetheless capable of cutting through most mundane materials. Last among this technique's tricks is the almost invisibly thin thread of ice crystals which stretch from the point of contact, which drove the technique forth. This thread stretches all the way to Harime's blade, allowing for her to alter the trajectory of the sheet should she manipulate the thread with movements of her blade. It is a devious technique to match her zanpakuto's unforgiving and cruel nature.

Hyōmaku(_雹幕 'Hail curtain'): Holding her blade high in the air with its orientation vertical, the wisp gravitates to her blade then flies about it at high speed, the crystals that exude from its form creating anywhere between ten and forty-three shards of hail, each of a length of six inches. Following this, the wisp dissipates, staying as such for the duration of the technique. Should any of these shards strike a surface they erupt outwards to cover a three meters radius of space in a mere two seconds. Each of these shards, no matter their amount is connected to a tiny thread of ice crystals in the same manner is Tachi-mai. Not least of this technique's strengths is its reaction to assault should it be struck by energy. When such occurs a given shard will begin to grow rapidly, making it much more difficult to immediately destroy should the reiryoku be designed to damage or destroy. This effect is one of the results of using the wisp's condensed form to create attacks.

Shimo no genzen(_霜の厳然 'Grave of frost'): After freezing any measure of ground-space with the ice of Reitō seishin, Harime is able to call upon this technique at the cost of one fifth of her reiryoku. Upon the activation of the technique all surfaces coated, or frozen by, Seishin's ice undergo a rapid transformation as the growth of the ice is temporarily amplified several times. In addition to simply causing any patches of ice to increase greatly in size and density, Shimo no genzen may also cause spikes and pillars of ice to erupt from all laden surfaces. While Harime has not yet mastered this technique, it is capable of additionally refracting light between portions of ice, making it a blinding technique to be within the midst of. Furthermore, should she gain more control over its formation she is capable of aiming the various protrusions. While aware of these facts, she has not yet attained the control necessary to execute said functions thus limiting the effective power of this technique.

Shikoromo(_死衣 'Shroud'): Utilizing the wisp of her shikai Harime is capable of creating a dome with a radius of 8 meters max. This dome--or sphere--has two functions, it may either act as a defense, creating a super dense layer of Seishin's ice on the perimeter of the structure, or an attack, instead filling in the barrier entirely with ice. Regardless, this technique requires roughly 3/10ths of her reiryoku each time it is used due to the sheer density of ice and the speed at which it is generated.

Tsuki no namida(_月の涙 'Tears of the moon'): Perhaps the most powerful of her techniques, Tsuki no namida is an ability that is barely within reach of the young shinigami. By giving Seishin 3/5ths of her total reiryoku the spirit's manifestation rapidly expands, dissipating outwards for ten meters in every direction. As this occurs all moisture, and free reishi, in the air is frozen into tiny marbles of ice, which remain suspended for the duration of the technique. Each of these many marbles is connected to Harime's blade via minuscule threads of translucent blue reiryoku. Currently Harime can only maintain this area for one minute before Seishin collapses back into its normal state. Following its use Shikoromo, Shimo no genzen, and Hyōmaku are disabled for a duration of four minutes.

Tsuki no namida, when mastered can last a total of eight minutes during which the tiny crystals of ice that coat Harime's clothes resist the touch of their kin, making any portion of her body covered in clothes temporarily immune to the effects of her zanpakuto. It should be noted that this however comes at a steep cost, as the moment the technique ends, the ice on her clothes will begin to freeze through them and touch her flesh, gradually increasing her abilities till she is entirely frozen in ice. The only escape from this inevitably fatal effect is to seal her zanpakuto, and once she has done so she cannot release it for three minutes.

Bankai: Not Achieved.

Onmyouton.
Additional Appearance Details: Standing at 6'8 and weighing slightly below average for his height, Genmyou almost constantly wears a gray unadorned mask with no mouth or nose holes. There only remain thin slits for his eyes and the village's symbol on the forehead. Genmyou's true is one of the village's mysteries, with not even his closest allies having ever seen him without his mask, hood, and cloak.

History:
--All information regarding Genmyou's origins going past his life as a young man have been expunged from all known records. As such, the following is all that remains recorded of Genmyou's origins--

...he faded back into the larger scope of the world and was at first a kind of mercenary nin. He travelled and exchanged knowledge and living expenses for any task he was assigned. As he did this he was able to acquire a rather sufficient sum of intel on various jutsu, clans, and rumors of the time. He continued to expand his knowledge and skill set until he struck gold. He heard a rumor about a clan based in Kumogakure, this was the first time he had heard of the so called Antare Clan. With a background such as his, it was hard for him to pass up and so he began to travel to cross the continent and reach the Antare clan's base of operations. At the time he did not know many, if any, of the secrets regarding the clan, but he did know they were allegedly the only rivals in fuinjutsu to the uzumaki clan. It took him a year or two of travel, due to many stops, missions, and such on the way but he eventually reached the country of lightning. Seeming rather suspicious due to his garb, as even at that time he possessed what shinobi see him in today, he was eventually spotted by one of the Antare clan's outposts and watched closely there after. As his renown grew, Genmyou eventually became known as 'The Shade of Clarity'. This title was blatantly ironic due to the unknown nature of his appearance and the difficulty that it was to track him and figure out his exact actions in combat. Regardless to this he began to be a nuisance when his missions began to conflict with nin from Kumogakure causing the shinobi assigned to come back empty handed or the like. Assassination attempts were made, but they could never track him down, and when they did they were met with clever non-fatal traps. Finally the aged raikage of the time requested the assistance of the Antare clan, the accepted, having been watching as a neutral part for some time.

They were easily able to corner 'The Shade of Clarity' but they too found themselves in a difficult situation. Even mid battle he was able to figure out who they were and who had sent them. They soon found themselves outclassed in a very unique fashion, and with words and defensive tactics alone the 3 Antare clan members found themselves in such a disadvantage that they were grateful when The Shade offered them an arrangement. An envoy sent back to the raikage and another to the elders of the Antare clan, Genmyou successfully got his message across. Though the raikage seemed rather threatened and more than a little worried about allowing this 'shade' free reign he did so with the advice of the Antare in mind. The Antare clan elders on the other hand were not as relenting and so instead of simply allowing him into their ranks, an unknown variable as he was, they commissioned him for a series of missions while they attempted to retrieve intel on the shade's origins. They drew a blank, finding only sparse information of his travels and various mercenary exploits, nothing of any solid consequence...Shade of Clarity indeed.

After several months of the grueling missions Genmyou began to grow ever more impatient and with perfect timing, as it was intentional the Antare allowed him entrance. In the years following it became known that Genmyou had been officially adopted into the country of lightning's social ranks and was around jounin rank. Years passed, he studied, trained, combatted, completed missions for Kumogakure, and then when he felt he had learned as much as was immediately useful to him from the Antare, he departed. Traveling to -data expunged- Genmyou disappeared for almost a decade. Strangely every two weeks a mission would end up completed to the fullest and so it was thought that Genmyou had completed these, which he had. When he finally emerged from his recluse, Genmyou returned a changed man, a better man, and a stronger shinobi. He felt no need to test himself against the lesser nin of the jounin rank and he proceeded straight to the death bed of the to-be late raikage. Genmyou looked the man straight in the eyes, and the raikage commanded the two be left alone.

No complaints were made, a mask was removed, a promise made, an identity remained hidden to all but one. The Raikage died only a year later and upon his death, his will was revealed, Genmyou - The Shade of Clarity, was to be named the second Raikage. Some of the village elders were disgruntled, but they were silenced by the will of the people and the guidance of the Antare clan. All was well, Genmyou became the kage of Kumogakure and has been as such for 10 years now. His age is unknown, his true appearance hidden, his identity null, and his skill renowned throughout. He is a man to fear, to trust, to avoid, to approach, he is all of these things, but above all else he is a efficient leader and an elusive enigma.

Personality: Genmyou is versatile in all activities he takes part in, this traits stands out. His versatility is mixed just as much with the air of intrigue that seems to surround him as a person. He is secretive, intelligent, serious, but not without humor. To him matters of the village, of battle, and anything remotely regarding his past are things to be given attention and a calm mindset above all others. In this way he is protective in his own way, seeming to have a kind of endearment to Kumogakure. Generally he tends to be fairly good-natured, and though he can sometimes be caught up the affairs of his village, he is never truly stressed. It has often been commented, and admired, that despite Genmyou's air of mystery and his rather plentiful responsibilities he never seems overwhelmed or burdened. In this way he is considered charismatic and sometimes even tends to use this trait to his advantage. This charisma also carries over to one of his rather well known mannerisms, corrections and wisdom. Essentially, Genmyou gets a kick out of messing with his adversary's mind while in battle without the use of genjutsu.

This reveals another trait of his for while he is not devious, he is exceptionally crafty in both a social environment and on the battlefield. He is loyal to those he makes his allies, but not to the point of blindness. He is the kind of man who will do what he must even if he knows others may not like it. When brought down to the bare essentials he is a survivalist, a former nomad, and a scholar. Genmyou has an avid love for knowledge and in his free time he finds it extremely rewarding and enjoyable to read, exchange knowledge, or even get into a philosophical discussion or two. In another light, Genmyou enjoys debate and conversation, but he seems to shy away from arguments. When put into a situation where a verbal exchange of negative theme is involved he tends to act as a mediator or he will simply remove himself from the situation until the participants are willing to discuss the issue(s) reasonably. This shows that Genmyou is indeed a very calm individual with an incredibly high tolerance for so called 'bullshit' as it were.

Specialized Weapons & Items:

Name of Item: Chōkin kōgu(_彫金工具 'Engraving Tool')

Description: A tool designed by Genmyou and members of the Antare clan, this pen-like tool works by transmuting chakra into a sort of ink, which can be directly inscribed upon specialized sealing paper. However, what makes the Chōkin kōgu a truly unique tool is the fact that it imbues chakra into the seal as it is created. As such, the more skilled the fuinjutsu practitioner and the more complex the seal, the more charge the seal will have. This is not the only boon to its use though as the pen does not just imbue chakra into the sealing paper, but actually engraves empty space that chakra is compelled to fill. This essentially means that, left alone, any seal created with this tool will draw chakra from its environment to fuel itself. Additionally, due to the multitude of fuinjutsu used in its creation and the specialized ones applied by Genmyou himself, it renders the kage immune to the effects of the seals constructed in this manner unless exceptions are written into those very seals. This is due to the fact that the pen, and its ink are designed to react uniquely to Genmyou's chakra meaning that if stolen, the device will not work in the hands of another and neither will the seals.

Appearance

====================

Name of Item: Kinko(_金庫 'Repository').

Description: A special tome with the thickness of a single piece of paper, the Kinko is carried on Genmyou's person at all times. The tome is possible by way of space-time ninjutsu, effectively allowing it to have hundreds upon hundreds of pages without ever becoming larger or heavier as the pages are not stored within the book in a traditional fashion. This also means, that to access any given piece of information, an individual must have exceptional chakra control, and know the proper chakratic codes to input so as to find particular pages. While the book does have an index, it is encrypted in a code that very few understand. Genmyou teaches this code only to those he trusts most...and he is very picky about whom he trusts. This also means that burning the book, or any similar copies, in a person's possession will not actually destroy the rest of its pages, excluding the index.

The knowledge connected to these books is thought to be stored somewhere deep in the mountain upon which Kumogakure sits. Genmyou typically keeps the Kinko folded up on his person.

====================

Name of Item: Inshō-shi(_印象紙 'Impression paper').

Description: Paper specialized for applying seals, Inshō-shi is designed to be exceptionally good at absorbing chakra. This makes it the ideal medium for the Chōkin kōgu, but also means it can be a useful tool in...other ways. The paper, while not fireproof, is capable of withstanding about the same heat as a human body without setting on fire, and is treated so that liquids simply fall off of it rather than adhering or being absorbed by its surface.

====================

Name of Item: Chakra Conductive Gauntlets.

Description: Though really not all that difficult to craft, Genmyou wears streamlined gauntlets on both hands which effectively ease the process of the fuin furidashi slightly. The gauntlets do this by reacting to his chakra when he channels it to his hands and forming a small field of condensed aura around his hands in order to conduct his jutsu. This can also assist with some of his raiton techniques and are very useful. Due to being gauntlets these can also be used to claw, since the fingers are rather sharp, as well as to block some blade attacks. He cannot use these to catch blades due to the fact that only the outsides of the gauntlets are metal while the insides -meaning palm and finger bottoms- are made of a softer material which also lines the metals on the top of the gauntlets.

====================

Name of Weapon: Seigennashi no ei(_{制限なしの英} 'Blade of the Unrestricted').

Description: Often within its figurative sheath and hidden on his person, this blade is 4.5 feet long, weighing in at roughly 130 lbs to anyone attempting to wield it aside from Genmyou. Rather than the weapon being in a true sheath, it is sealed utilizing a modified generic seal, within the strap that would normally hold the weapon at his back. Regardless to this, Seigennashi no ei is a very unique weapon for it does not possess an affinity ability or some such foolishness. Instead, this weapon of unknown origin, is a blank slate for any kind of chakra that is channeled through it. This means that it can channel and carry any manner of jutsu within itself. This means that it seems to merely be an incredibly advanced chakra conductor. While this is true, the weapon is unique in that it can actually store techniques, which are channeled through it. However, it is limited to seven jutsu at any given time. Beyond this, the weapon, once attuned to its wielder, is rendered effectively weightless. Despite the efforts of many blade craftsman, chakra scholars, and fuinjutsu masters the cause of this effect remains out of reach and thus out of mind making it an enigmatic blade fit to its similarly mysterious wielder.

====================

Name of Item: Gen'ei no konryuu(_{幻影の袞龍} 'Phantom's imperial robes').

Description: Worn in every waking moment of Genmyou's life, this clothing is his normal attire. Despite the use of the word normal this garb is nothing of the sort. It is fire retardant, heat repelling, waterproof, and is durable to ridiculous levels. Strangely, the cloth never seems to take damage, even if Genmyou does, this leads one to believe that damage is transfered through the cloth but never actually damages it. This is true and is the work of fuuinjutsu being weaved in patterns onto the inside and outside of the robes. Additionally, the Gen'ei no konryou are conductive allowing him to conduct his 'raiton' techniques or pure chakra through them. The last notable property of this garb is its properties of concealment. Namely the robe distorts his chakra to the senses of doujutsu and sensor nin. This effectively means that unless the sensor nin is incredibly adept and has prime focus, they will receive a headache and be smoothly redirected around his location. Possessors of doujutsu have a hard time looking upon him as well, but are otherwise unaffected. Sharinga and Rinnegan are unaffected, whereas the Byakugan is effectively useless against it.

Combat Data

Special Traits
Genmyou is no normal individual and as such his chakra is incredibly unique. Not only is he incredibly difficult to sense even with doujutsu, his chakra's unique state tends to give sensory nin a headache and as such they tend to have a lot of trouble pinpointing his position. Additionally where his normal chakra openings would be, there are actually 3. His body seems capable of releasing chakra from many different places in comparison to a normal individual. Genmyou also appears to have a rather high chakra level in addition to being able to use shape manipulation much quicker than most. It should be noted that Genmyou is immune to his own lightning affinity (he can channel it through his body without being harmed) and that lightning jutsu of C rank or below will not cause him harm. Last of all he appears to be especially durable and is very quick on his feet. It should be taken into mind that Genmyou's specialties are firstly in fuinjutsu, secondly in kenjutsu(with a proficiency in defensive taijutsu), and thirdly in ninjutsu.

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Tukkumu shijun(_{突っ組む至純} 'To strive for Absolute purity').
Fuen Ametsuchi(_{敷衍 天地} 'Amplification of Heaven and Earth')
Clan: Unknown.
Zoukasari.
Description: Appearing to modify any natural affinities that the inheritor possesses, but this is not it's sole capability. This kekkei genkai, known as Tukkumu shijun, appears to allow Genmyou advanced control over essentially all of his chakra's aspects. This has apparently altered his natural affinity as well as allowing him, due to extended research and training, to utilize 'pure' chakra. Due to his skill in fuuinjutsu he is capable of effectively programming this purified energy form with purpose utilizing seals and the like. His control over his chakra system is so great that he can willingly pure, fluctuate, speed up, or slow down the flow of chakra within his body to his will.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Agarisagari(_{上がり下がり} 'Fluctuation').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying and modifying the Gogyo Fuin(Five Elements Seal), Genmyou has developed a technique that utilizes the concept of disrupting other seals and by extension chakra. Unlike the Gogyo Fuin, this technique disrupts chakra even if there are no other seals present on the victim. When the Agarisagaro is placed on an individual it will impede the movement of chakra by disrupting the chakra path ways and causing them to fluctuate randomly. This makes it twice as difficult to utilize ninjutsu or to generally focus and control chakra.

Weakness: If the seal is damaged it will be rendered useless. Additionally it can be removed by the Gogyo Kaiin. The seal can be disrupted by firing chakra into the seal from the outside or focusing it in the seal till it breaks. Breaking this seal by focusing chakra and overloading it is considerably difficult and will waste chakra due to the fact that the fluctuations make it hard to focus and direct chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Fuin no kumokui(_{吹いんの雲杭} 'Seal of the Spider Bite').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 0.
Description: By utilizing his chakra Genmyou is capable of placing a seal on a tag or an opponent directly that effectively acts like a crack in the victim's chakra system. This causes chakra to slowly leak from the victim's body.

Weakness: Damaging the seal by burning it or cutting it will cease the effects of the jutsu.

====================

Name of Technique: Junikari Kuchiyose(_{樹に借り口寄せ} 'Pure Anchor Summoning').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Fuininjutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 3.
Description: By studying the Kuchiyose no jutsu and imlementing the use of his pure chakra with it, he is effectively able to program his pure chakra and use 3 handseals in order to summon a specified object -and only an object- to a designated location. The location is designated by a localization of his pure chakra. This technique takes such a small amount of chakra that it is completely negligible.

Weakness: This technique can only summon to where the specified chakra is located. Additionally, if the chakra is used for a long range summoning the jutsu will become increasingly more taxing with the increase in distance. This jutsu is also unable to summon anything over the size of a person in mass and weight.

====================

Name of Technique: Fuin furidashi(_{吹いん振り出し} 'Seal infusion').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D-S.
Range: Physical or chakratic contact.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 0.
Description: Essentially Genmyou has such a mastery of his purified chakra that as long as something is either within his aura (such as his blank tags or scrolls) he is capable of inscribing seals on them. If he is touching the object it takes less time than if it was in his aura, specifically direct contact is 2x as effective as indirect(aural).

_

If mentioned in a seal, these will be different, otherwise these apply.

D Rank: Aural contact takes 2 seconds (afterwards the seal is useable) and direct has no charge.
C Rank: Aural contact takes 4 seconds and direct takes 2 seconds.
B Rank: Aural contact takes 8 seconds and direct takes 4 seconds.
A Rank: Aural contact takes 12 seconds and direct contact takes 6 seconds.
S Rank: Aural contact takes 16 seconds and direct contact takes 8 seconds.

Weakness: Without contact this technique is useless, additionally the more complex the fuinjutsu (higher ranked) the longer it takes for this to work.

====================

Name of Technique: Tenkō(_転向 'Switch').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 3.
Description: This technique is a small set of interlaid lines and circles that can be applied to any of his fuinjutsu. Effectively, this allows him to activate or deactivated a fuinjutsu's effect by preforming 3 hand seals. This is always utilized in regards to his fire sealing method techniques and has the effect of allowing him to release the jutsu from the scroll or otherwise object.

Weakness: It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Fuin kakari(_{吹いんかかり} 'Seal linking').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 0.
Description: This is a very simple technique which allows the individual to link seals. This is typically used when regarding summoning seals and allows an object to be transfered from one seal to another through this technique.

Weakness: It has no effect by itself and has normal seal weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Tsuuro shougeichiten(_{通路商芸地点} 'Pathway blocking point').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 4.
Description: An interesting technique, Tsuuro shougeichiten effectively acts much like a strike from the gentle fist style in that once applied it blocks chakra. Unlike the Lion closing roar or similar techniques however, this seal instead blocks chakra in such a way that the path is effected much like the blood stream is by a blood clot. This effectively means that overtime Tsuuro shougeichiten causes a blockage in the chakra stream which can create a build up in pressure. This varies in how long, but the more chakra that is being used/the faster the flow of chakra, the quicker this will occur. If the seal is not removed this blockage can effectively rupture a chakra pathway and cause chakra to rampantly flow into areas of the body where it should not be, this is incredibly painful. Additionally, if the seal is removed -of course depending on how early after it is applied- the chakra blocked will suddenly rush to move and fill the space. If the seal was placed near a chakra exit, this can cause chakra to randomly eject from the victim's body and thus waste their chakra.

Weakness: The seal will break after a certain amount of chakra has built up as the pressure acts about the same as overwhelming the seal with chakra. If the seal is damaged or removed it's effects are nullified. This seal requires some of the user's chakra to be stored within the seal in addition to the effort needed to create the seal.

====================

Name of Technique: Ryuutsuuro Fuin(_{流通路吹いん} 'Dragon-pathway seal').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: By executing the 5 hand seals, forming the seal on something or with his chakra and applying it the user effectively boosts the victim's abilities. The victim's chakra system speeds up and is improved in it's ability to release chakra thus allowing their body to be faster and stronger. This also means ninjutsu seem to unexpectedly come out stronger than normal, the effected part will usually not notice the difference due to adrenaline. After the three minute mark they'll begin to feel tired and within the next 2 minutes fatigue will set in.

Weakness: This technique can only be overloaded with chakra if the user can focus their chakra to the seal rather than letting it flow. Additionally the seal can be removed or damaged to cease it's effects, though any chakra used before hand will still have caused some portion of the desired effect. This jutsu takes around 1 minute to fully activate and thus seems more gradual. A-S ranked individuals can forcibly slow their chakra system and skilled B rank individuals may be able to do so as well.

====================

Name: Hirukigō(_蛭記号 'Leech-symbol').
Type: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: 5.
Description: Hirukigō, once activated will continuously pull chakra from any available source unless blocked by another seal. While this makes it incredibly useful to sap chakra from enemies it also comes with the unfortunate side effect of draining the user's chakra when they are of insufficient skill to properly control the technique or do not possess a seal to block this process.

====================

Name: Surikomi no Jutsu(_{刷り込みの術} 'Imprinting technique').
Type: Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range:
Hand Signs: 0-5.
Description: A technique allowing a seal user to imprint chakra onto an object in such a format that a seal can be created on the given surface or in a prefabricated way wherein a seal is automatically placed upon the use of the technique, Surikomi no Jutsu is held within Keikoku's scarf first and foremost, though she does have a pair of leather gloves that allow him to achieve the same results.

This technique requires 8 seconds of focus when the user possesses chakra control or fūinjutsu talent of equivalent rank. For each rank higher than the technique's own the user may subtract 2 seconds of prep time due to the increase in skill. Should even a small sliver of foreign chakra be channeled through the imprinted chakra before it manifests as a seal the technique is disrupted. The handseals required for the technique decrease as skill increases. Full mastery allows an individual to shed the limitation of handseals entirely.

====================

Name: Mahi hyōshō(_麻痺表象 'Paralysis emblem').
Type: Fūinjutsu.
Rank: D.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: 1.
Description: An exceptionally simple seal, Mahi hyōshō causes whatever chakra is in contact with it to stop moving into new locations. As such the chakra in a person's body can properly circulate, but cannot be removed from their chakra network and their physical body is similarly unable to move as their chakra system is essentially locked in the space it is occupying upon the application of the seal.

While a less common use of the technique, a skilled shinobi could potentially use this technique to counter some forms of ninjutsu or use it to establish defenses of a sort. It is thought that this technique was, and perhaps still is, essential to the creation of barriers. While considered a D rank technique due to its miniscule chakra drain on the user, the technique is effective even on higher level techniques all the way up to B rank. Nonetheless should the seal have no remaining medium or should it be disrupted by a sudden and skillful spike of chakra it can, and likely will, break.

====================

Name: Dōtai gyōretsu(_導体行列 'Circuit matrix').
Type: Ninjutsu; Fūinjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Contact.
Hand Signs: N/A.
Description: A bizarre technique designed to create specific channels or pathways of chakra in a body or object, Dōtai gyōretsu requires intense chakra control. With it a skilled individual may create chakra pathways inside of their body that can be utilized for different purposes or cause a variety of effects. A master of the technique can layer fuinjutsu upon this technique applying specific traits and properties to chakra that moves through the 'circuits' created by the technique. Currently Keikoku is not skilled enough in the techniques use to do this. However, the technique acts as an amplifier to him already fairly impressive chakra control as well as a tool of sorts.

The technique has been displayed to speed up, slow down, and divert the flow of chakra in various mediums. When utilized the technique creates a series of lines and interwoven symbols on the surface of the affected person or item. Any property or effect that the user is already capable of causing with their chakra can be achieved via this method and/or amplified by such.

====================

Name of Technique: Denkou Ooi(_{でんこう多い} 'Lightning Mantle').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning
Handseals: 8.
Description: Through studying lightning release armor and then utilizing his ability to conduct lightning through his body with no ill effects, Genmyou is capable of making a mantle of lightning around his body and within. This mantle allows him to move at high speed, though nowhere near as fast as lightning release armor, it takes a rather skill individual to track his movements without the aid of a doujutsu. This jutsu essentially amplifies his speed and strength, the strength aspect is much weaker than the speed. If an individual comes into contact with the mantle they will find themselves damaged, be it through burns or shocks.

Weakness: This jutsu, though not all that chakra taxing, makes it difficult to utilize other jutsu while it is active. Prepared jutsu do not count, additionally Denkou Ooi only lasts for a maximum of three minutes and has a cooldown time ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute.

====================

Name of Technique: Inadzuka(_稲塚 'Flash of Lightning').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: 3.
Description: Inadzuka is a raiton technique that by itself can either be used much like a chidori, or can be fired off in a bolt of lightning. This rank, depending on the charge time, will be stronger or weaker and can thus vary in it's damage.

_

E Rank: With no charge time at all, this rank of Inadzuka can be spammed at will, but does no damage. It causes a slight prickle of electricity if it hits, but otherwise only forms static in the air.

D Rank: This rank has a 5 second charge time and no cool down. It causes a light shock that would cause the body to hesitate and bristle slightly. This rank also causes static to gather towards it, hinting that it may be slightly magnetic.

C Rank: This rank has a 10 second charge time and no cool down time. It causes a stun effect if it hits and it gathers enough static to form a D rank lightning jutsu. The static can be felt slightly, but otherwise has no effect at all.

B Rank: This rank has a 20 second charge time and a 10 second cool down time. A stun effect lasting 10 seconds is caused in addition to burn damage, possible piercing, and normal lightning damage. Additionally the static gathered is equal to the dispersed form of the C rank technique and is now obviously felt, it still has no effect.

A Rank: Getting hit by this rank, which is the highest form of this technique, causes incredibly painful damage and would make a chuunin likely pass out and cause a jounin a rather dangerous amount of damage. If it hits it becomes painful to move afterwards. This rank has a 30 second charge time and a 20 second cool down time, additionally the static gathered is equal to the dispersed B rank technique.

Weakness: The charge times, cool down, and relative weakness of the technique in general.

====================

Name of Technique: Kawa no Shijun(_革の至純 'Streams of absolute purity ').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: C-B.
Range: 50 yard(250 foot) radius.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 2.
Description: This technique allows Genmyou to exude his 'pure' chakra and then control it to form streams of energy that act much like water. These 'streams' of chakra are incredibly conductive of any kind of jutsu whether they are his or not, and he is capable of conducting or utilizing other jutsu through this.

Weakness: This technique can easily amplify ANYONE's jutsu that passes through it.

====================

Name of Technique: Gateway of the Ouroboros.
Type of Jutsu: Barrier ninjutsu.
Rank: B
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 6.
Description: By utilizing his barrier rods, Genmyou is capable of using this technique to set up a barrier of varying size and shape. Typically the barriers will be in the rough shape of a box/cube, but they can vary in shape. These barriers work by connecting barrier rods with a flat plane of chakra. This process means that if an individual is caught between two barrier rods while they are forming a barrier they could very will be cut in half or the like. These barriers are incredibly effective against chakrabased attacks. Lightning affinity jutsu below B rank will conduct into the 'pure' chakra and be channeled throughout the barrier. All other affinities can have their desired effect.

Weakness: Powerful taijutsu techniques or piercing attacks can easily cut, break, or pass through the barrier

====================

Name of Technique: Douji kaido(_同時開度 'Synchronous divergence').
Type of Jutsu: FuiNinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Direct or indirect contact.
Nature Type: Pure chakra.
Handseals: 16.
Description: Douji kaido, a technique created some years after Genmyou's study with the Antare clan, it is a technique to be feared by all those who posses an advanced affinity. The jutsu is simple, it is a seal, that after being conducted through his chakra using Fuin furidashi, is capable of essentially tearing merged affinities apart. This technique works through the seal quickly infecting the jutsu with Genmyou's 'pure' chakra, latching onto the intermingled affinities, and then causing a divergence which splits the jutsu in half, -altering it's trajectory- and destroys the synchronicity of the affinities by doing so.

Weakness: Despite the explanation of Fuin Furidashi, this technique takes 10 seconds to charge if done so directly and 20 seconds if activated via his aura.

====================

Name of Technique: Ijū no tsūshin(_{移住の通信} 'Signals of Transmigration').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?).
Rank: C-S.
Range: 100 mile radius or within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and/or Lightning.
Handseals: Variable.
Description: Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions.

The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This mind control is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios.

Weakness: While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks.

It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own.

====================

Name of Technique: Idou no Himotsuki(_{移動の紐付} 'Removal of Restriction').
Type of Jutsu: FuiNinjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 6 meter radius.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 5.
Description: Utilizing his blade, Genmyou channels a fuinjutsu through it and/or stores one within and utilizes this later. Once prepared with hand seals, Genmyou will stab his blade into the ground and call out this technique's name. Once done the seal will appear inscribed around where the blade's location of piercing/contact. He will quickly say the name of the seal and it will expand outwards covering a space with a 6 meter diameter with the blade at it's epicenter. Anyone who comes into contact with the sealing area will be affected by whichever fuinjutsu has been placed therein. The seal for this technique appears as the normal seal (seen in the link) overlaid with whatever seal he is using.

Weakness: This technique can only be held as long as his blade remains in the ground. Once one or more individuals enter the area of sealing it begins to drain Genmyou's chakra to fuel whichever fuinjutsu are being utilized. This technique can only remain active for up to 4 minutes, this can vary in relation to which fuinjutsu are being utilized through it.

====================

Name of Technique: Chiten ijū no Jutsu(_{地点移住の術} 'Space Transmigration Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Space-time Fuinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 6.
Description: A rather simple fuinjutsu as Space-time techniques go, Chiten Ijū no Jutsu works by linking two spots, and only two spots to one another spatially via a sort matter swap. Essentially, one seal, upon contact with the user after being placed on a surface and activated via 6 hand seals, will scan all the information, energy, and matter of the individual, and then alter its locational information by swapping it with an equivalent amount of space. Upon appearing at the location of the second seal, the user must step off of the symbol within the space of 2 seconds or they will be returned immediately to their prior location as the space switches back. This also means that the seal typically works one way unless activated from one end, the space swapped, then a person steps onto it, but this requires reliable instantaneous communication between the two areas.

Weakness: Technically a one way jutsu. It is not very useful in combat either unless one prepares the battlefield prior and allows each seal to charge. Additionally, these seals charge solely with natural energy as otherwise they would require too much chakra to function regularly.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōshin kankei(_交信関係 'Communication link').
Type of Jutsu: Fuinjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 12/1.
Description: To apply this seal to something or someone, the user preforms 12 handseals and moulds inscribes the necessary sealing formula onto whatever they wish to create the seal upon. Once inscribed, this seal, via contact if it is on a surface, or via a single handseal if on a person, allows anyone attached to the network to communicate telepathically. In actuality, Kōshin kankei works by one person speaking, and the sound of their words being transmitted, via chakra, through space directly to any corresponding seals, thus manifesting as sound information to the ears. As such an individual can whisper, but the sound will flawlessly reach anyone connected to it due to the seal translating it into audible sound information and sending it directly to the ear.

Additionally, it should be noted that Kōshin kankei can be utilized to transmit sounds over an area as well as to a specific individual. The seal is typically written with a small difference per individual allowing different people to be contacted via small variations in chakra, or sometimes, simply by stating their name. This is the equivalent of speaking over different frequencies and as such transmitting messages to multiple people is the equivalent of aligning everyone's frequencies so that everyone hears the same things.

Weakness: Requires a small amount of chakra to be utilized. The seal must not be damaged for it to remain functional. Requires preperation and is generally not used for combot purposes. Advanced uses of the technique require exceptional chakra control.

Kanagata, Kiyome – Pylon

General Data

Name: Kiyome(Purification) Kanagata(Metal Pattern).
Nickname/Alias: Pylon.
Gender: Female.
Age: 26.
Age Appearance: 26.
Sexuality: Heterosexual(?).

Birthplace: Kumogakure.

Organization: Omoitsuku-za.
Clan/Kekkei Genkai: Kanagata/Raijin no junshū.
If original, you need a description of their hierarchy, and what they’re known for. Feel free to include clan history as well.

Rank: S rank missing nin.
Position: Executive Scientist – Electromagnetics.
Chakra Nature: Denjiton(Lightning+Earth) and Wind.

Additional Appearance Details: Kiyomi stands at 5'8 and weighs 193 lbs due to her physical augmentations. Kiyome wears her head protector's metal plate as the centerpiece for her belt buckle. It is notable that her the village symbol on her head protector has been twisted, warped, and scratched, likely by metal weaponry and electromagnetic influence--this is intentional.

History: Hailing from the Land of Lightning Kiyome's life began during the First Shinobi war, putting her right in the middle of one of history's scariest conflicts thus far. Sheltered by her clan, the girl was raised as one of the heir's to its leadership, having been the only child of the clan head she had quite the mantle to live up to. As the years went on it very quickly came to light, even in her toddler days, that Kiyome was not just exceptionally talented, but a sure prodigy as her Kekkei genkai manifested at early enough an age that its use, throughout the rest of her life, became second nature.

With tutors at her beck and call, the girl grew up during the war, sheltered from the conflict despite her surely invaluable tactical worth. Kept safe for at least the first twelve years of her life, with both mother and father on the battlefield far too often, Kiyome was something of a rebellious child, always pushing her elders to or past their limits, testing what she could get away with.. It turned out the answer was quite a lot, and so the girl kept pushing.

As she matured the habit became worse, continuing even after the war was finally over and her father was more present. However, one could say that, in some ways, it was quelled with the news of her mother's death at the hands of, rather unexpectedly, the Antare clan. Crushed by the loss of her mother, who despite her behavior, she adored to a fault, Kiyome's rebelliousness took a backseat to her grief and loss.

Her father did his best to remain there for her, but she couldn't look him in the eyes anymore than she could her mother...not anymore at least. Having reached the age of 15 by then, Kiyome seemed to mellow out, behaving herself when necessary and listening to her elders. However, to those who knew her well, they would have said that she'd become withdrawn and distant.

It was too bad that the new alliances with other clans and the formation of Kumogakure distracted her father and both her uncles from the warning signs. Withdrawing into herself even more, the young girl did her duty, having become a shinobi, helping to protect and maintain Kumogakure under the guidance of the First Raikage. She even managed to rise to the rank of elite jounin despite her age, where she served well, sometimes giving advice to her superiors when the opportunity presented itself.

To those who had known her mother, the similarities between child and parent were apparent. Proud of her daughter, Isei Kanagata did his best to pay her mind, and give her the praise he hadn't during all those terrible years of war.

However, at the end of the day it was for nought, as the First Raikage lay on his death bed and her father was powerless to stop him from electing a man who had only been in their village for several years, a man who practically no one knew much about, to the position of Second Raikage.

It was this event that toppled the house of cards and so, not a month after the man's rise to leadership, she defected. Her actions driven by outrage, the twenty-two year old, having lost faith in the system, trudged out into the world, resolute to never set foot into such a corrupt society again.

With little direction to her travels, Kiyome sought out new purpose and eventually she found it, deciding that she would master the intricacies of electromagnetics and expand it further than anyone had before. Perhaps it was out of spite, or perhaps out of ambition, but at the end of the day she earned a reputation so notable that an organization known as the Omoitsuku-za approached her. Seeing it as a chance to gain more resources for her studies, and secretly hoping to use the connections it gave her to topple the still developing system, she accepted.

As her research continued it became an obsession, one of several, which helped her run away from the source of her issues—her mother's death and the Antare clan. To this day her hatred of the Antare still runs strong and her studies continue.

With her admittance into the fold of the Omoitsuku-za she was able to expand her capabilities with the help of a shinobi neuroscientist, which has elevated her to one of the most recognized positions in the organization: Executive scientist. With the increase in resources that came with this position, Kiyome expanded, creating her trademark Raikō engai and gathering followers and research assistants to her cause she has come into the public eye once more.

In the last several months she has made shop near several smaller settlements, the most recent of which is the Village Hidden in Waterfalls. So far the reasons for her actions are unknown, she intends them to stay that way...for a time at least.

Name of Weapon or Item: Hiraishin(_避雷針 'Lightning rods')

Description: A series of twelve hollow metallic rods each of which is four feet long, weighing in at roughly 80 lbs. Each rod is infused with enough denjiton chakra to effectively make it a superconductor. The infused chakra was moulded into it during the creation of the tools and thus remains therein. This energy cannot be tapped for jutsu. The Hiraishin are exceptionally durable due to the density of their structure and the small crossing struts in the hollow of the rods. These rods are a composite of chakra metal and silver making them exceptionally conductive.

Combat Data

Special Traits
Inability to learn genjutsu due to Kekkei genkai.
Reigning master of Raiton-based jutsu.
Electromagnetic aural field – sensory.
Weaker to Fire techniques.
Exceptionally intelligent.
Excellent chakra control.
Large chakra reserves.

Augmented Physiology: In her efforts to reach her current heights, Kiyome changed her food regiment, increasing the amount of minute iron and bits of silver until she gained a resistance against the poisoning that the latter of the two would otherwise cause. Once she had this in place she infused the foods with her denjiton chakra and continued to eat it, manipulating the resulting metals inside her own body till they formed rods and several other things, resulting in her current appearance. As a result of her augmentations she always projects a magnetic field several inches around her body even with Shinsei no naizai-ka active. Additionally her body easily diffuses heat into the metallic augmentations and disperses it.

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Raijin no junshū(_{雷神の准州} 'Territory of the lightning god').

Clan: Kanagata.

Description: The Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai is forged from the earth and lightning affinities to make a powerful electromagnetic field around the user. Depending on skill and overall power, the clan member's magnetic field will be anywhere from 5-30 meters in its hemispheric radius. The inheritors to this genetically dominant kekkei genkai receive both Denjiton(Electromagnetic release) as their chakra nature, but also naturally wider chakra pathways within their body. This gives inheritors a naturally larger chakra capacity. As to their aural field, they are able to sense movement through it as it displaces and reorganizes the chakra present therein. This magnetic field can be disrupted by fire affinity jutsu, but not destroyed. The chakra is linked directly to the inheritor's chakra system and can be considered in the same sense as internal chakra; thus it cannot be sealed by normal means. Their electromagnetic field allows them to control lightning chakra within its bounds as well as to magnetize and manipulate possibly magnetic bodies while they remain within the field --the exceptions being chakra infused weapons, armor, or the like. Lastly, skilled inheritors gain a resistance --not immunity- to genjutsu due to the natural flux of their inner chakra system.

Custom Jutsu

Name of Technique: Raika shin'i(_{ライカ強電} Flash of lightning God's authority').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within the magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A
Description: Raika shin'i is a jutsu that was created rather recently by the clan's 2nd in command. The Raika shin'i, aka Flash of lightning god's authority, allows those of the Kanagata clan the ability to control the movement of their lightning techniques through their magnetic field. It is also categorized as a magnetism based ability due to the fact that it also helps techniques like Kanaaji inryoku function properly. This, in essence, is the precise control of the individuals magnetic aura as well as their inner chakra system which is what creates their resistance to genjutsu and innate shape manipulation abilities.

Weakness: Due to it being a highly valuable technique it can be crippling to almost any Kanagata to lose the ability to use it in battle. This can occur by blocking the chakra points, which does take at least twice the effort (2 hits or a very efficient taijutsu) in order to block. It can be disrupted by water or metals as they have higher conductivity then the air that this technique controls the conductivity paths within through the use of the magnetic field. Fire can be a bane to it but is not as effective as the aforementioned abilities and unless B rank or above will take time to effect the technique.

====================

Name of Technique: Ishoku Goukin(_衣食合金 'Living Alloy').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei Ninjutsu/passive ability.
Rank: N/A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: This technique is very simple in nature and is a passive trait of the Kanagata clan's kekkei genkai. Essentially, the body of a Kanagata clan member is a super magnet, the reason is thought to be that their chakra system is almost entirely composed of magnetic chakra rather than normal chakra. This means that they can effect their own bodies with their magnetism abilities in addition to being able to conduct more lightning techniques without taking nearly as much damage. Their own lightning techniques are also essentially unable to damage their body unless otherwise is stated.

Weakness: Affinity weaknesses.

====================

Name of Technique: Gairyaku: Reiki no Den-kimiko(_{概略: レイキの電気巫女} 'External Force: Aura of the Lightning god's son').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkai ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: One of the most difficult techniques of the Kanagata clan, this is only learned after the highest of masteries is obtained. Effectively, the user of this technique is capable of changing the size, shape, and potency of their aural magnetism. This is done through controlling the chakra that makes up this aura. Disabling the bond between the chakra and the magnetism and drawing it in to the body, moving the chakra itself around in varied shapes and patterns etc etc.

Weakness: N/A.

====================

Name of Technique: Yuusei: Ji kaeshiame(_{郵政: 地返し雨} 'Dominance: Earth reversal-rain').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu/Shape-manipulation.
Rank: C-S.
Range: Within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and Earth.
Handseals: 12.
Description: Considered to be the earthly equivalent of Raika shin'i, this technique allows a Kanagata clan member to forcibly push their magnetic dominance into the ground rather than it being primarily based in the air. The name of this technique is due to the fact that the user will often then form a reversed gravity effect where variously sized sections of earth will move upwards in a seemingly effortless fashion.

Typically, when this is used it causes a subtle rumbling in the earth within the 60 yard radius and then it will settle. Additionally a low, but always constant hum will emanate from the surrounding area and will gradually increase in it's volume over time. This is further noticed when projectiles are formed and come near an individual. It should be noted that this technique is considered an incredibly advanced earth manipulation technique despite it being of the magnetism affinity.

Weakness: This technique highly limits the abilities of the Raika shin'i in the air and restricts the user's ability to cast and manipulate the trajectory of their air-born lightning techniques. It is also rather mentally taxing and eventually gains a rather monumental chakra cost.

====================

Name of Technique: Jiki kyōmei(_磁気共鳴 'Magnetic resonance').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton.
Handseals: 2-4-6.
Description: Its handseals dependent on rank, Jiki kyōmei is a technique that allows the user to send Denjiton chakra into a material and allow the material to propagate the magnetism, though not the chakra that catalyzed the process. This technique also allows the user to generate a magnetic field around objects which have developed the A rank manifestation of this technique. An A rank magnetic field projected by a highly magnetic or conductive substance can reach a cylindrical radius of 8 meters.

Weakness: The less chakra used in the creation of the magnetic field, the less potent the resulting field. The technique must also start within a mangetic field.

====================

Name of Technique: Ijū no tsūshin(_{移住の通信} 'Signals of Transmigration').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary ninjutsu/Forbidden Technique(?).
Rank: C-S.
Range: 100 mile radius or within magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and/or Lightning.
Handseals: Variable.
Description: Potentially a forbidden technique when utilized at its strongest, Ijū no tsūshin is a technique devised by the Kanagata clan, but released to the public. It is one of few that is actually useable by anyone, rather than just by one of the two most masterful lightning clans. A largely variable technique in regards to application, Ijū no tsūshin is executed utilizing handseals only when the user's skill is exceptionally low. The amount of handseals varies depending on user skill, complexity of the technique's application, and distance. Cutting to the point, Ijū no tsūshin allows the user to transmit subtle electrical signals via chakra. One of the primary uses of Ijū no tsūshin is in the vein of nigh telepathic communication by sending electrical signals from one individual to the other. This application is B rank at least as it requires incredible mental focus and chakra control so as not to accidentally use too much electricity and thus damage the brain. While most users of Ijū no tsūshin are only capable of communicating rudimentary orders over only twenty or so meters, those capable of utilizing the technique at A rank are able to transmit signals over 10s of miles of distance. The further away the individual, the less complex the signals must be with few exceptions.

The last, and forbidden, use of this technique is effectively mind control, which is considered a technique only in the grasp of a select few, most of which are members of the Kanagata clan. This mind control is utilized via the user transmitting a set of continuous electrical signals of extreme complexity, thus allowing them to effectively fire nerves strategically, and even highjack an individual's brain and use it to further transmit signals once highjacked. This application is considered S rank and is typically used only as an interrogation technique, having been forbidden in all other scenarios.

Weakness: While not limited in its range or the complexity of the “commands,” or the detail of its communicative abilities, and certainly not possessing a high chakra cost barring its S rank use, Ijū no tsūshin is not an easy technique to maintain. While its chakra cost is not great, every use takes a sliver, and continuous use, even for most masters, threatens to cause the user to become less and less aware of the amount of chakra going into the process. Additionally, due to the sheer complexity of translating “words,” and concepts directly to the brain of another individual via electrical signals, even for the sake of mere communication, this technique takes a level of focus for all, but the most masterful users that makes it largely useless in combat as it would only allow most individuals to give very simple commands, if that. Lastly, when using the S rank form of this technique, a given user is typically incapable of manipulating more than one individual at a time and almost always must remain entirely immobile while doing so. When controlling another person their own senses and awareness of their surroundings are lowered considerably making them more vulnerable to both genjutsu and surprise attacks.

It should be noted that in addition to the aforementioned weaknesses, this technique can be disrupted in several other notable ways as it only works properly when conducting through air. As such, the signals carried by the electricity will be distorted too greatly to be used if they must travel through three meters of dense material or any liquid. Should an individual be cloaked in lightning chakra or have it running through their body the technique will be unable to take over their body, or will be drowned out by the stronger electrical currents. Lastly, individuals with exceptional chakra control can treat even the S ranked technique much like a genjutsu and fluctuate their chakra continuously to disrupt the jutsu's control long enough to reassert their own.

====================

Name of Technique: Chikyūshō(_地球照 'Earthshine').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: Within a magnetic field.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 4.
Description: A rather simple technique he creates a tiny spark within the magnetic field and allows the magnetism to focus and conduct it causing it to flare out in a blinding expansion of lightning. The jutsu doesn't do much damage and can't even stun for 5 seconds but does have a highly blinding effect even to individuals with dojutsu as the rapid expansion of chakra confuses the chakra sensing capabilities that they likely possess.

Weakness: Doesn't cause any damage whatsoever.

====================

Name of Technique: Shinsei no naizai-ka(_{神性の内在化} 'Internalization of divinity').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S+
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: Denjiton and lightning.
Handseals: 22.
Description: Through mastery of the her aural magnetic field and its interaction with her chakra system Kiyome is capable of pulling this field into her own body. The results of this action are drastic and should anyone else attempt it without years of training, they are more likely to cause themselves brain trauma, paralysis, or outright death. While inheritor's of the Raijin no junshū already possess highly conductive and magnetic bodies as is apparent in Ishoku Goukin, this technique makes utterly transcends former levels causing them to become a super conductor in addition to a magnetic generator. While the effect is not truly permanent, it is possible to maintain for any length of time as it does not rely on chakra to power it and is merely a shift of the magnetic field's focus.

Likely the most notable effect of this technique is how it influences the body, mind, and chakra of the user, amplifying all three respectiely to greatly heightened levels. However, the user's chakra is particularly effected by this aural interalization, causing it to become hyper-potent to the extent that when even minute amounts are externalized mere contact with a single thread of the user's Denjiton chakra can immediately magnetize something, or wrest control of any and all lightning or electricity based techniques. Additionally, due to Kiyome's complete mastery of the Raika shin'i, her chakra control becomes effectively perfect as long as this technique is activated.

As to the physical amplification caused by Shinsei no naizai-ka, the user's reaction speed, senses, and physical movement are amplified greatly on both micro and macro levels. As such, Kiyome is capable of accelerating, decelerating, and maintaining tremendous speeds without damage to herself as part of her movements are manipulated by the magnetic energies in her body effectively allowing her to slingshot herself or anchor herself in mere moments in addition to making extremely fine-tuned movements.

Beyond her physical augmentations are those of her mind, which start with increased processing speed and power and continue on to increased perceptual acuity and attention to detail on any level. While active her mental capabilities are highly attuned, making her hyper aware of her body's status and in near complete control of its actions in all areas, though she can choose to merely leave her internal workings on autopilot. Lastly, all of her thought processes are streamlined making it much more difficult for things to confuse her as she can multitask to greatly increased levels.

Weakness: Due to the sheer density of denjiton and raiton chakra, the user is incapable of utilizing any other affinity while the technique remains in effect. Additionally despite effectively amplifying all of the user's capabilities, this technique must be deactivated it least once every 11 hours for 2 hours worth of time. If the user fails to meet this requirement their mental, chakratic, and physical health will begin to rapidly decline due to the immense amounts of stress this technique causes by effectively supercharging the user. Additionally, this technique can be disrupted by A or S rank fire affinity jutsu engulfing the user. Granted, in most scenarios this would kill them.

====================

Name of Technique: Raikō tentei no sōshin(_{雷光天帝の送信} 'Lightning god's transmission').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Lightning.
Handseals: 18.
Description: The mental equivalent of Raiton: Kin'niku no kansō, this technique is based off of the S rank form of Ijū no tsūshin, this technique takes this control one step further, allowing the user to program complex mental and pyschological responses into their own, or someone else's central nervous system, specifically their brain. Most, if not all, of these programs require specific stimuli to be activated and otherwise remain dormant.

Weakness: While an incredibly powerful technique, the user can only utilize it on themselves or an individual with whom they remain in prolonged physical contact with. Creating these programs in their own neural network requires minute amounts of chakra, but takes considerable amounts of time, while doing so to another individual requires even more time and chakra. This technique is only possible while Shinsei no naizai-ka is active.

====================

Name of Technique: Raiton: Kin'niku no kansō(_{雷遁: 筋肉の感想} 'Lightning Release: Muscular impressions').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: Lightning and/or Denjiton.
Handseals: 18.
Description: The physical manifestation of Raikō tentei no sōshin and Ijū no tsūshin, this technique, unlike the aforementioned ability allows the user to instead program physiological responses into the target's nervous system. However, similar to it, the technique requires prolonged physical contact and almost always requires specific stimuli to activate the given programs. This ability can even be used in a more subtle manner so as to program muscle memory into one's own body.

Weakness: While an incredibly powerful technique, the user can only utilize it on themselves or an individual with whom they remain in prolonged physical contact with. Creating these programs in their own neural network requires minute amounts of chakra, but takes considerable amounts of time, while doing so to another individual requires even more time and chakra. Like its counterpart, this technique is only available during Shinsei no naizai-ka's use.

Name of Weapon or Item: Ami no Jussaku(_網の術策 'Network of Intrigue')

Description: Perhaps the largest of Syu-lerne's puppets, Ami no Jussaku is not one body, and is instead hundreds, which are all connected through seals and chakra. Controlled through the use of the Enkaku sōsa no jutsu and chakratic programming, Ami no Jussaku is composed of roughly one hundred to two hundred puppets in total, created over a period of twenty years. Each singular puppet is referred to as a Chiten(_地点 'Point') and these individuals all look identical aside from the location of the Enkaku sōsa no jutsu's seal being located in one of six different locations.

While these puppets are numerous, they are far from something one would use for combat, but this is supplemented by the fact that the puppets are capable of erasing their presence via the use of Mujin Meisai, Tōton Jutsu, Meisaigakure no Jutsu, and of course the chakra suppression technique. However, unlike a biological shinobi, the Chiten are capable of condensing their chakra signature into a single point within their “body,” and then concealing it within a seal. Aside from this capability, each Chiten is capable of sensing chakra of any kind and can, when stationary expend larger portions of its chakra to obtain perception roughly equal to the Kagura Shingan in the level of detail and with an effective range of 100 meters. This allows the puppets to detect even killing intent, though they can only do this when in their active state, while stationary.

These puppets were created through Syu-lerne's unique brand of fuinjutsu combined with his kekkei genkai's capabilities—specifically his technique Keiro shinten. This allows the Ami no Jussaku to sense even when not being directly moved or controlled.

Moving on to their physical form, the Chiten of the Ami no Jussaku collective look like fairly basic human puppets constructed with wood, miniscule amounts of metal, and a fair amount of cord. These wires are extremely difficult to damage and are inside the puppet's primarily wooden body. The small amounts of metal utilized on the puppet are placed on the internal hollows where the cords run through. The metal is as such used to preserve the internal workings of the puppet, but so as not to weigh it down greatly the rest of it is not composed of the material, but is instead treated to be fire and water proof in addition to being infused with traits similar to rubber. This makes the wood a good deal more durable than normal, but not so strong that a well placed strike can't pierce or crack the substance.

Each puppet being about 5'6, they do not stand out in a crowd due to being constantly garbed in either cloak and hood, or hood and civilian wear. This is perhaps the point upon which there is contention in regards to the “identical,” appearance of the puppets as they are not all dressed exactly the same. Some of the Chiten are however, not dressed at all and these are typically placed in small settlements and put into a sort of standby mode wherein they will only activate if killing intent is detected or they are disturbed.

As with all of his puppets, the Chiten of Ami no Jussaku are capable of being summoned or reverse summoned so they may retreat. All of the seals on a given Chiten only respond to the proper “key(primer) seal,” when it is utilized with Syu-lerne's chakra. Additionally, if any single seal is tampered with in any way the whole system will override it, destroy it, rewrite it, and begin altering all of their keys simultaneously and continuously. Tampering with any seal at any point will also immediately notify Syu-lerne.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Kōdai Kaichū(_高大回虫 'The Grand Worm.').

Description: Syu-lerne's massive, mobile, seperable lab. Its location is deep beneath the sands of The Land of Wind and it is always moving.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Shison(_子孫 'The Descendents').

Description: A multitude of condensed labs, which typically “orbit” Kōdai Kaichū. These are considerably smaller and can be utilized for combat. Mobile. 20

====================

Name of Puppet: Sekimiru(_堰見る 'Watchlock').


Description: Comprised of 365 primary parts and 800 miniscule connecting parts, Sekimiru is one of Syu-lerne's most complex combat-based puppets. Most of the construct's parts are composed of various metals, with small amounts of wire and crystal here and there, all of it chakra conductive. Perhaps the scariest thing about this puppet is the fact that each individual part possess a small custom made chakra system all of which can connect to one another in a variety of different configurations. This moves us to how Sekimiru's many parts are connected, which is to say through magnetic fields, electrical energy, chakra, and small doses of heat at times. The puppet has an internal heat regulation system allowing it to focus and disperse heat or electrical energies through altering its own conductivity via chakra.

Due to its construction and mechanical nature, the puppet is capable of shifting its form by falling apart and putting itself back together in different configurations on the fly. Furthermore the puppet can levitate, magnetically or electrically charge things, and it can, to a limited extent, diffuse heat in and around its body. Nonetheless, a simple Goukakyuu no jutsu would scatter the puppet, forcing it to pull itself back together, and anything stronger is likely to damage at least some of its parts. Additionally, isolating or slowing down its various parts is the best way to disable it. Still, the puppet is far from something one would want to underestimate as while Syu-lerne can control it with chakra strings, the puppet is typically manipulated through three totally seperate means all at once.

The first means of control is a huge amount of Migotona hairetsu seals, at least 3 for each part, including even the smallest of them.

The second means of control are a set of seals that the puppet has “anchored,” to a field of sorts, which it projects over a 15 meter sphere. These seals manifest as pure chakra, or under ground, primarily and allow the puppeteer to extend threads of nearly invisible chakra to control the puppet from within. This also allows Syu-lerne to reassemble the puppet as long as all the parts remain within the area. When Sekimiru is in one piece this field moves with its main body. When dispersed outside of the main field each piece transmits a much smaller 2 meter field.

The third method of control stems from a physical control mechanism that manifests when the puppet is in no more than 3 main bodies. This system manifests a highly complex seal within its chakra system that acts as a projection field for physical chakra threads that extend through the puppet, and outside of it, only to reattach to its outer body.

If Syu-lerne himself is present, there is a fourth method, which is him manually controlling the puppet with any of his chakra string techniques.

This puppet's control scheme is so complex that Syu-lerne is only capable of controlling it on its lonesome. This meaning he cannot manipulate any of his other combat puppets at the same time. This does not include the Ami no Jussaku, Kōdai Kaichū, or Shison puppets.

Sekimiru's perceptual capabilities allow Syu-lerne to see in 320 degrees from the puppet's POV.

As with his lab puppets, Sekimiru is capable of being summoned or reverse summoned so it may retreat. All of the seals on Sekimiru only respond to the proper “key(primer) seal,” when it is utilized with Syu-lerne's chakra. Additionally, if any single seal is tampered with in any way the whole system will override it, destroy it, rewrite it, and begin altering all of their keys simultaneously and continuously. Tampering with any seal at any point will also immediately notify Syu-lerne.

Jutsu

Name of Technique: Sanpu arashi(_散布嵐 'Scatter storm').
Type of Jutsu: Puppet taininjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: 15 meter radius.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: By building up or absorbing electrical energy into its body, Sekimiru eventually gathers enough to utilize this technique. Generally utilized after around 3-5 minutes of static electricity gathering, the technique is activated when Sekimiru extends a magnetic field in a 15 meter radius and then slowly detaches its parts every 3 seconds and then allows them to begin spinning. Eventually its whole body is decentralized, traveling at great velocities within the noted radius, each part cutting and/or slamming into, or through, whatever comes into its path.

Weakness: While a powerful offensive technique, it forces Sekimiru to scatter its body out and risks parts being thrown out of the radius either via someone else's designs, or entirely due to accidental collisions. Additionally, Sekimiru cannot reform into a singular body quickly once the technique is over, but instead must take smaller forms so that it can gather enough energy and recalibrate its chakra systems together. This process generally lasts about 2 minutes over the course of which it will gradually recompose itself into larger and more complete bodies. The technique also expends about 1/4th of its chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Sandan(_散弾 'Scatter shot').
Type of Jutsu: Puppet taininjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: 15 meters.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Condensing chakra in its body onto a linear 2 foot diameter cylinder in one direction, Sekimiru will fire a portion of its parts along the path. This path is often the direction one of its body parts, is pointing. The result is either many small parts used much like shrapnel or larger, sharper parts used like spinning or piercing blades.

Weakness: Travels in one direction and requires the puppet eject parts, which must be pulled back to its body—a process which takes time.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Kawari riron(_{ひも替わり} 'String Surrogate').


Description: A puppet resembling Syu-lerne in mask and garb, Kawari riron is, under the cloak, a fairly normal puppet...at first glance at least. Within the thin metal outer framework are a serious of complex mechanisms designed to shift and move wire. The chakra system in the puppet channels through this almost muscle-like system of wires, creating a system much like the human body. Due to these powerful wire-muscles being fed chakra the puppet is considerably faster than a human and many measures more flexible. However, its durability is not terribly great as its outer surface is only about an inch thick. While its chakra system is effective, the puppet is only capable of defending one of its limbs at a time using chakra.

However, the puppet has two uses, one is for combat, wherein it uses the wires as a series of deadly weapons, which may cut or entrap its opponents. The other causes Kawari riron to retract the majority of its wire and instead extend chakra threads to control nearby puppets. It should be noted that Himo riron is only capable of controlling three puppets at once, including Chiten. Should Kawari riron be used to puppet Sekimiru the puppet will not be at its best.

It should be noted that Kawari riron's metal flesh has many small slots which may slip open to either allow wire or weaponry out of its internal workings.

At any given time, Kawari riron has senbon needles, kunai, and shuriken on its person. It has a number of these needles ready to protrude from its metal flesh, and a number more it can summon to it from a storehouse. Kawari riron is capable of being active almost indefinitely if not utilizing chakra, but will tire out at about the same rate as an elite chuunin shinobi in terms of jutsu use.

As with his lab puppets, Kawari riron is capable of being summoned or reverse summoned so it may retreat. All of the seals on Kawari riron only respond to the proper “key(primer) seal,” when it is utilized with Syu-lerne's chakra. Additionally, if any single seal is tampered with in any way the whole system will override it, destroy it, rewrite it, and begin altering all of their keys simultaneously and continuously. Tampering with any seal at any point will also immediately notify Syu-lerne.

Jutsu

Shikomi Kugutsu: Shinshin Happa(Prepared Puppet: Eight Waves of Needles): The poison causes paralysis with 2 minutes of exposure.

====================

Name of Technique: Hikitsugu(_引き継ぐ 'Takeover').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Wire contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Extending its wires, Kawari riron latches into something and then spreads its chakra system through its thread and then into the object. This causes the the thing in contact to momentarily be under the false puppeteer's sway. As such, Kawari can tear chunks of rock from the ground, and fling them as if they were an extension of their body.

Weakness: The “weightless,” effect given to the object in question ceases the moment the wire loses contact with the object. This technique, if interrupted via the wire losing contact, wastes more chakra than it is worth.

====================

Name of Technique: Kōgu-bako(_工具箱 'Tool box').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: C.
Range: Personal.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Channeling chakra through its hands, or wires, Kawari riron can shape it into a physical form, creating things like grappling hooks or blades as long as they are relatively simple in make.

Weakness: The shapes made must be relatively simple. Requires continuous chakra, making them difficult to manifest on many wires or body parts at once or for long periods of time.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Sakyū ryōshi(_砂丘猟師 'Dune Hunter').


Description: Possessing the largest chakra pool of any of his puppets, Sakyū ryōshi is designed for the hunt no matter the terrain and despite its name. Created with a similar make to Kawari riron in regards to its 'musculature', this feline puppet is so effective at hunting down, capturing, and/or killing its prey that the commonfolk of Sunagakure have taken to telling their children stories about it as a sort of “boogieman-like” figure. Possessing highly flexible and durable “skin” composed of a carbon nanotube weave, which has been treated with chakra to make it a form of super fabric, Sakyū ryōshi is only vulnerable to ninjutsu due to its body being built to withstand incredible physical wear and tear. The puppet is essentially immune to abrasion, piercing implements and being burned to a crisp—though fire can damage some of its metal portions making it more difficult for the puppet to deal damage or move.

The aforementioned durability and the make of its body allow it an elegance of movement, which one might view in a true predatory animal, such as a panther, except with the speed and strength of a shinobi. This of course makes the puppet capable of running straight through the walls, ceilings, or floors of buildings almost without breaking stride. This, like its ability to swim/move rapidly through various substances is however achieved, through the projection of a field of chakra which is designed to break substances down or weaken them at necessary points before the construct even makes contact. Unfortunately for its prey, this field, when not in use to destroy obstacles, is focused around the hunter's claws and the tip of its tail allowing it to cut through a good many substances with relative ease.

Returning to the puppet's chakra system, Sakyū ryōshi has a larger chakra pool not because it utilizes an assortment of ninjutsu, but because of its intended purpose. This being the hunting of that which has been deemed a dangerous element. Effectively making Sakyū ryōshi the hunter to Shinkirō's assassin archetype, the puppet is capable of seeing over 50 miles in a 180 degree field of view, with reduced range, but greater visual acuity within the 40 degree field of view that is its peripheral vision. Additionally, the puppet can visualize, smell, and feel chakra in even its most minute distribution. This allows Sakyū ryōshi to track people down from incredible distances with relentless, seemingly endless endurance.

Moving on to its ability to disguise itself, Suna's Hunter is capable of manifesting an effect that teeters between illusion and reality over the surface of its body. This allows the puppet to appear—to all senses—as if it were a living thing. This also means that it can camouflage itself with its environment by altering its coloration.

Final, and most notable, among its primary abilities are its instincts as, unlike Syu-lerne's other puppets, Sakyū ryōshi is designed to be almost entirely autonomous. Programmed with incredibly complex fuinjutsu and internal chakra mechanisms, this puppet is less mindless construct and more a deadly, thinking, automoton. Possessing the instincts of several highly experienced shinobi—gathered from war prisoners many years ago—and an altered form of its creator's intellect, Sakyū ryōshi is considered an analytical engine with a powerful instinct to capture and then incapacitate or kill its targets. It is capable of multiple lines of thought and, with prolonged tracking, is entirely able to learnt he habits, fighting style, and even psychological tendencies of its opponent making it capable of predicting them to a terrifying degree.

Still. Even with these traits one should not forget the spines which often remain folded against its back. Each of these spines is effectively a reservoir to a different neurotoxin, venom, poison, or harmful gas.

The front two are dedicated to a non-lethal numbing agent which can be drained into Sakyū ryōshi's fangs or excreted onto the surface of the spine or its claws—though the last of these requires the disintegration effect be forestalled. The middle most spine is dedicated to an irritating gass, which only causes numbness to pain with limited exposure, but eventually continues on to scramble the body's ability to properly translate neuro-chemical signals as it is inhaled and passed into the bloodstream and then muscles. This means that while the individual is not paralyze their coordination and bodily control will steadily decline the longer they are within the cloud. The last two spines, unlike the predecessors, are a lethal toxin, which due to its the chakra in it, first blocks tenketsu points, and then eventually damages the organs and important biological structures tied to them. Unless given the antidote roughly two hours after being dosed, the victim is sure to die.

As with his lab puppets, Sakyū ryōshi is capable of being summoned or reverse summoned so it may retreat. All of the seals on Sakyū ryōshi only respond to the proper “key(primer) seal,” when it is utilized with Syu-lerne's chakra. Additionally, if any single seal is tampered with in any way the whole system will override it, destroy it, rewrite it, and begin altering all of their keys simultaneously and continuously. Tampering with any seal at any point will also immediately notify Syu-lerne.

====================

Name of Weapon or Item: Shinkirō(_蜃気楼 'Mirage').


Description: A puppet, which passively mixes its chakra system with natural energy, Shinkirō gained its name due to the fact that it uses this energy to manipulate the temperature in a 1 meter radius around its person. One would think that this ability would fascilitate the use of fire affinity techniques without the use of actual flame, but they would be dead wrong. Instead, Shinkirō releases yin chakra into this sphere as well while modulating the differences in heat around itself so as to create...you guessed it, mirages. However, the puppet takes this to a new level, infusing natural energy mixed with small portions of yang chakra into its surroundings. As such, even genjutsu resistant doujutsu will find themselves having to take a second, third, and eventually fifth glance wherever the puppet was when they last looked. The reason for this is a partial physical manifestation of the illusions created by Shinkirō's area of influence making it particularly difficult to discern whether or not the effect was an illusion or a part of reality one hadn't noticed before.

If this was not daunting enough, Mirage is exceptionally fast, able to move as if it was weightless and generated no air resistance...mostly because it doesn't possess a fixed weight at most points in time. This is caused by a space-time ninjutsu, which Mirage almost always has active, effectively making it a passive technique. While, despite the technique, Mirage can be struck by physical attacks, the puppet is effectively immune to traditional ninjutsu as it splits the yin and yang aspects of most techniques which pass into its area of influence redirecting them around the sphere. This makes it particularly difficult to defeat at long range as it is hard to predict and locate, and makes it fatal at close range where its movements are mostly obscured by the mirage around it, and its speed allows it to swiftly strike with the serrated flat blades, which are its appendages. It sure is a good thing it isn't coated with poison.

While one might be lead to believe that Shinkirō has no faults, they would, again, be quite wrong. In fact, the puppet is exceptionally frail as a well placed strike to any of its joints will cause the corresponding body part to seperate from its body. While most of its limbs are connected by wires—in addition to the aforementioned joints—the puppet's limbs can be removed from its person. If it wishes to regain this limb it must gain purchase on it or place the portion of its body to which the lost limb connects. Once the limb's joint is in position it is magnetically attracted to the puppet after which point the limb sends wire into the main body, which is merged with the other wires. It takes roughly 30 seconds for the limb's chakra system to recalibrate.

As with his lab puppets, Shinkirō is capable of being summoned or reverse summoned so it may retreat. All of the seals on Shinkirō only respond to the proper “key(primer) seal,” when it is utilized with Syu-lerne's chakra. Additionally, if any single seal is tampered with in any way the whole system will override it, destroy it, rewrite it, and begin altering all of their keys simultaneously and continuously. Tampering with any seal at any point will also immediately notify Syu-lerne.

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Itten no hōsetsu(_{一天の包摂} 'Firmament's subsumption').

Clan: Uranaisha.

Description: Granted with the advanced utilization of Onmyouton, inheritors of the Itten no hōsetsu are capable of achieving a great many things. However, the essential traits of this kekkei genkai lie in the amplification of an inheritor's yin affinity chakra, causing them to typically be far more intune with the mental and spiritual aspect of existence. The physical manifestation of this makes members of the Uranaisha clan particularly intelligent, but the Itten no hōsetsu's abilities do not stop there. Rather, they extend to the physical aspect of yang chakra, but not in a way that is typical as rather than grant members of the clan with exceptional life force, durable bodies, or enhanced physical abilities, it grants their mind the ability to, up to a certain degree, manifest concepts and ideas of a sort in a variety of ways.

While an inheritor of the Itten no hōsetsu cannot, for example, create substance without prior materials simply by willing it so, they are capable of creating advanced and incredibly complex chakratic costructs. Additionally, they are very much in control of their subtle bodies, to such an extent that many members of the Uranaisha are capable of altering the composition and arrangement of their own chakra system. This of course lends itself to the fact that they possess supernatural levels of chakra control that have, aside from them, been glimpsed in very few clans, let alone normal shinobi. This of course, is made frightening by the fact that all members of the Uranaisha are born with this Kekkei genkai, but is tempered by the reality that they tend to be largely impotent. This effectively means that, while powerful, their clan is doomed without the assistance of outside parties marrying into the clan, or simply bearing the children of Uranaisha clansman. This Kekkei genkai, while having the potential to pass down to both male and female members of the clan, tends to manifest more strongly in the women.

Nonetheless, there are exceptions, and Syu-lerne is certainly one of these.

Description: One of Syu-lerne's most innovative techniques, Tamotsu - Itten Kyofuku allows the user to manipulate many puppets with greater precision by rapidly making and breaking thousands of connections via chakra threads per minute. Rather than simply connecting chakra threads to the puppet to manipulate it at all times, this technique does so periodically to connect with specific parts of the puppet, allowing greater multitasking in addition to the aforementioned precision. This also increases the speed of the puppet's movements.

Weakness: The lack of a continuous connection weakens the physical strength of the puppets themselves. Continuous or exceptionally prolonged use of this technique hurts the fingers. Additionally, the technique requires exceptional chakra control.

====================

Name of Technique: Kyū-ito(_仇糸 'Hydra Threads').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: Varied.
Nature Type: N/a
Handseals: N/A
Description: Allowing a puppeteer to send chakra strings from one puppet to the next, Kyū-ito has served as a revolutionary technique for puppeteers with exceptional chakra control who simply need more fingers to manipulate additional puppets. Generally the technique serves to increase the puppeteer's range, but also increase the amount of puppets an individual can control at once solely with the use of chakra threads.

Weakness: The strings still link back to the user, allowing anything that could flow through the strings to hit them as well. Breaking a part of the puppet can jam the technique momentarily as well.

====================

Name of Technique: Ito ten'i(糸転移 'Thread transference').
Type of Jutsu: Supplementary shape-manipulation ninjutsu.
Rank: D-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 2.
Description: A dual purpose technique, Ito ten'i allows the user to transfer chakra through threads from one thread to another in addition to redistributing the chakra within a given thread or altering its solidity. This technique could be considered the general shape-manipulation technique for chakra threads. The secondary application of this technique allows the user to spawn new threads from already established ones though manipulation of them will be somewhat limited as they will move in roughly the same trajectories though several inches apart. A master can utilize this technique to manipulate far more than a mere 10 threads, even separating the threads by feet but synchronizing their movements chakratically so as to appear to control many more threads than they are in truth.

Weakness: While allowing for use of far more than 10 threads the technique can decrease the accuracy of the utilized threads in addition to the structural integrity of the threads themselves making them more easily absorbed, disrupted, or destroyed.

====================

Name of Technique: Itoori: Tenteki(糸織り：点滴 'Thread Weaving: Infusion').
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang.
Handseals: 6.
Description: Through the masterful utilization of chakra threads this technique is made possible. First utilizing the initial handseals, after which point chakra threads must be manifested, the user will make contact with objects via their threads and infuse chakra into said objects. This chakra, as long as it is connected to the user directly or indirectly, can be transformed into jutsu via additional handseals. If this technique is used on another individual it can either be used to impart them with chakra restoring their stamina or to paralyze a localized area.

Weakness: If contact is lost, the infused chakra will fade slowly over time depending on how much chakra is within the object or material. Activation of infused chakra requires handseals and, at the very least, indirect contact.

====================

Name of Technique: Migotona hairetsu(見事な配列 'Masterful Arrangement').
Type of Jutsu: Shape-manipulation ninjutsu/kinjutsu.
Rank: S.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Yang.
Handseals: 3.
Description: While requiring very few handseals, this technique is of extreme difficulty and is only possible due to Syu-lerne's mastery of his chakra system in addition to base shape-manipulation and the Chakra thread technique. Upon activation the user gains the ability to specifically direct the flow of their chakra out of particular chakra points(tenketsu). While most shinobi are incapable of controlling chakra not emitted from the hands, feet, or mouth, an ability afforded Syu-lerne by his clan's Kekkei genkai, though it can be achieved through other means. This make him capable of launching jutsu essentially from any chakra point on his body as long as said point is not blocked. Kawatake, in part, has cheated as he has amplified his body's control over his tenketsu via the yang affinity's amplification capabilities.

Weakness: If his tenketsu are blocked or his chakra is sealed he cannot utilize this technique. Additionally, heavy physical damage in areas can prevent him from emitting chakra there. It is particularly dangerous to mold elemental jutsu prior to them exiting the body due to the difficulty in restraining the elemental effects and activating them at precisely the right moment. The last weakness is noted in that he can damage himself if he releases the wrong jutsu from the wrong place making this a potentially hazardous technique if misused.

====================

Name of Technique: Keiro shinten(_経路伸展 'Pathway Expansion').
Type of Jutsu: Kekkei ninjutsu.
Rank: C-S+
Range: Contact.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: 15.
Description: Preforming the 15 necessary handseals very slowly whilst in contact with the intended object, the inheritor extends their chakra system via their Onmyouton affinity, into the desired object. While initially one is only capable of creating exceedingly simple pathways of chakra within an object, which run out and do not replenish, the advanced user is capable of creating chakra pathways with equal or greater complexity than that found in living things, which also replenish themselves. While these chakra pathways may retain some measure of connection with the user it is not a physical one and so cannot generally be taken care of. Essentially, for all intents and purposes the user and their created chakra systems are seperate unless it is otherwise stated.

Weakness: While C rank usage of Keiro shinten only takes about 30-60 seconds, the highest form of its use can take hours or days of periodic use to complete at which point the user must also be able to stop the chakra systems from breaking down while they're not working on the technique. Otherwise, the technique has few real weaknesses, though Mukouton chakra would nullify it due to its affinity.

====================

Name of Technique: Enkaku sōsa no Jutsu(_{遠隔操作の術} 'Remote control Technique').
Type of Jutsu: Fuininjutsu.
Rank: A.
Range: Contact, then unlimited.
Nature Type: N/A.
Handseals: N/A.
Description: Placing a seal on the intended target of manipulation, this technique is activated, thus allowing the user to manipulate the object via minute and subtle chakra signals transmitted between the seal on their person and the seal on the object in question.

Weakness: If the seal is disturbed then it ceased to properly function.

Official Titles: Ninth Movement, Swan song.
Position: Asylum.
Specialty: Silencer.
Asylum Code: XX(20) upon the small of her back.

Weaponry:

Raiment

Spec layout

Capabilities

• Raiment is composed of spider silk, kevlar, nanomesh, and superfabric
• Raiment is concealed beneath her clothes aside from its hood.
• Raiment is water and fire proof, but not heat proof though it is insulated against electricity.
• Micro batteries are weaved inbetween layers of its fabric, these are connected to a system of wires
• Raiment is wirelessly linked to Vaiya's other equipment and can also link directly via contact.
• Raiment's gloves are fingerless, but extend hyper thin threads onto her fingers, allowing her to trigger various functions in its form and her other equipment.

A specially designed and treated garment with a hood, Raiment is water, fire, and somewhat electric proof. The material it is composed of is capable of absorbing and dispersing some measure of electrical charge down a series of wires and into the ground, never touching her body. When this occurs small amounts of the electricity are stored in tiny batteries of a sort that are miniscule and hidden all over the vest. It should also be noted that Raiment, while fireproof, is not heat proof, meaning you can still roast her alive with significantly high temperatures.

The majority of the vest is reinforced with nanomesh and the strongest of spider silks. This allows it to block against all 'cept molecule thin blades, though the user is still vulnerable to blunt attacks and the trauma that is related to such. In fact, Raiment serves as protection from bullets as well, but once again the force behind such a projectile can still cause significant damage on its own.

Lastly, when entering combat, Raiment weaves gloves to protect her arms and hands respectivel though this exludes her fingertips, which remain free with slight exception. While essentially without protection, there exist several essentially invisible threads, which stick to her fingers. These threads can be triggered only by way of specific finger movements.

These threads, of which there are a total of 60—6 per finger—are electronically linked to both of her weapons and each thread triggers a different thing and certain combinations of them can trigger mechanisms as well. Several of these mechanisms are in the vest itself, hidden beneath layers of fabric.

To conceal it, Raiment is worn under her clothes.

Raiment Triggers

Reactive cloth
There exists a series of trigger combinations, which link directly to mechanisms within Raiment. One of these mechanisms causes Raiment's fabric to stiffen whereas another of these causes it to become more reactive, adapting to the amount of force applied. A baton being slammed into it would cause it to stiffen and resist, then give slightly to distribute some of the force, whereas a poke would not cause any reaction at all.

Discharge
Another of Raiment's trigger combinations, Discharge takes all stored electrical energy, be it from static electricity, or any assaults of that nature, which may have occurred and releases it all in one of three ways. Either she releases it in a pulse from her body, charging the air with electricity for a brief time, though it's dependant on the amount she's gathered. This can serve is a temporary stunning tactic for larger groups. Conversely, she can utilize this pulse in a more subtle manner, sending it off in a large 20 meter radius, briefly short circuiting machinery requiring electricity within that area. The third manner through which she can trigger Discharge is by way of physical contact, channeling the elctricity through wires in her boots or gloves to electrically shock, or charge, whatever her hands or feet are in contact with in that moment. This can stun, fry circuits, or burn depending on the amount of electrical energy she has gathered.

Network Access
Using the electronic connection to her other weapons and essentially rerouting its purpose through the electric channeling wires in Raiment's gloves, Vaiya can use alchemy to form a usb port or other implement to access technological devices via direct link. While she does not typically use this for very much, she will sometimes access tech for her partner, Estaine, who will then do the hacking or infiltration. However, one thing she often utilizes this for is interfacing with her other two tools, particularly Trojan Didyma. This allows her to manipulate the weapons both from contact and long range.

Oi Trojan Didyma

Spec layout

Capabilities

• Capable of splitting where the barrel touches the main body of the weapon.
• The barrel can form two interlocked blades. The blade extends, retracts, and spins(24 inches max).
• Trojan's main body has four modes, two when separate, two when connected.
• Connected modes: Railgun or Sniper rifle.
• Seperated modes: Assault rifle(burst and rapid fire) or single fire “pistol”.
• Trojan stores a total of 12 sharp rods of the alchemic substance used as railgun ammo.
• Trojan stores up Incendiary, hollow point, and “pellet” type ammunition.
• Trojan's ammunition size caps at .50 calibers.
• The barrel is concealed in an umbrella and the main body in a violin case.
• Trojan typically carries 20 50. cal bullets, 85 bullets of various caliber, 20 hollow point, 30 incendiary bullets, 5 tracking bullets, 10 anti alchemy bullets, and 30 “pellet” type bullets.

Considered a pair of highly advanced weapons, Oi Trojan Didyma, aka the Trojan Twins, are, first and foremost, projectile weapons. Initially appearing to be a mere sniper rifle in their combined form-- _{seen above}--Trojan is actually much more, namely a railgun in their combined form, and an assault pistol and bladed implement when seperated. To seperate them, Vaiya pulls the trigger of the weapon, allowing the long grey barrel of the weapon to split from the main body of the gun. Once seperated this barrel can release tiny blades into the hollow portion of its form. These are then heated, bonding them together into a blade with serated edges in four directions,which can then slide out of the hollow to 4 inches, 12 inches, and 24 inches respectively. If this were not enough, this blade can spin, allowing it to sheer flesh or strip surfaces that come into contact with its serated blades. This makes the barrel a deadly implement all its own.

On the other hand, the main body of Trojan may switch between two modes when seperated from the long barrel, and two others when it is connected. When seperate, the main body of Trojan is capable of being either a pistol with different caliber bullets, or an assault rifle with burst and continuous fire settings. This in addition to it storing multiple forms of ammo concludes its seperated uses.

When combined with the long barrel which is its twin, Trojan becomes a deadly implement indeed, capable of three round bursts and single shot attacks. This weapon possesses several forms of ammunition, most notable 4 inch, sharp pointed rods of the alchemy substance in a metallic form. The weapon itself carries about 12 of these within a mechanism that reloads them automatically once triggered. In addition to these rounds, which are exclusively for the railgun mode, the Trojan possesses a score of incendiary bullets and ammunition of various caliber.

When combined, the Trojan is either a modded sniper rifle or a railgun depending on the mode it is in at any given time. To conceal Trojan, it is collapsed first into its two parts, the long barrel becoming a part of an umbrella she carries, while the main body is into four parts, including its two clips, and stored in a violin case.

Geráki

Spec layout

Capabilities

• Enhances the mind's processing speed by 4x to enhance perception and reaction time.
• Capable of Parascopic, infrared, night vision, and electrical visualization.
• Powered by four highend micro batteries, which are rechargeable via solar panels or outlet.
• Enhances auditory range to 1000 meters. Can sift through sounds, eliminating or enhancing.
• Max visual augmentation of 500 meters.
• 2 minute bursts of use. Total battery life of 40 mins.
• 3 minute downtime after 2 minutes of use.
• Use over 2 minutes causes lowered reaction/perception speed and blackouts in the long term.
• 2 processors and a wireless connection to Raiment and external processing systems/A.M.R.O databases.
• Act as sunglasses as well.

This piece of headgear, taking the form of goggles with attached headphones on the band, which encircles the head are a vast improvement to her original invention: The Eye of the Hawk. In homage, its name translates from greek as Hawk, and the implement, when not in use, is concealed beneath the scarf at her neck.

Drawing power from four micro batteries and several tiny solar panels. The batteries are located in the inner workings of the headphones, and the inner edges of the googles. Conversely, the solar pannels are arranged on the top of the goggle's rims and the sides of the band itself. Geráki is waterproof, and hyper insulated with rubber and wire to protect it from Raiment's EMPs if necessary. However, direct electrical imput can easily fry the device, as can high temperatures. All fabric on its form is, like Raiment, composed of superfabric making it almost impossible to get off of her once it is firmly situated on her head. The other materials are reinforced with carbon and rubber to make it more difficult to destroy in impacts and allow it to resist the high speeds that Vaiya can reach in combat. Nonetheless, despite even the glass being partially bulletproof, it is vulnerable to thin cutting implements, making it possible to damage. Conversely, a full force hammer blow to the implement would destroy it thoroughly.

Moving on to its capabilities, Geráki can last up to 40 minutes if left on continuously and can be switched on via small pressure switches in the bands, or the Raiment's triggers. Once active it allows for enhanced perception of up to 4x, and can filter between normal vision, infrared, electrical sensing, night vision, and parascopic sight. Additionally, the headphones possess high end microphones installed, which can pick up sound up to 1000 meters away without extensive amounts of noise, the more noise, the less their overall distance is though it should be noted that it can enhance or quiet different sounds. In a bustling crowd, their auditory range is lowered to 100 meters. In regards to its parascopic functions, Geráki can, with a clear line of sight, enhance images up to 500 meters away.

To process all of this information and deliver it to Vaiya, Geráki possesses a wireless connection and 2 processing units installed in its form. This wireless connection links it both to Raiment, and to several external processing units held in various A.M.R.O bases. This allows her to access databases (only those she has clearance for) and to quickly process information. Geráki's wireless connection is rendered unuseable for 10 minutes after the user of her Raiment's EMP forcing it to utilize its internal processing systems, which are less effective due to size constraints.

It should be noted that Geráki is not meant for prolonged continuous use and will deactivate its perception heightening processes after 2 minutes of consistant use have occurred. Their use becomes available again after 3 minutes. This process is a safeguard and can be turned off manually, but utilizing Geráki for longer than the aforementioned time frame causes both long and short term side effects. Namely black outs in the long term, and lowered reaction time in the short.

Oh, and they function as sunglasses.

Alchemy Specialization:

Bio Alchemy

Alchemic Styles: Motem, Sigillum.
Description: An alch spec allowing the manipulation of the user's own biological structure and that of other living things aside from those possessing sentience, Bio alchemy is a very broad specialization. While a shapeshifter could merely alter their base form, turning into an animal or another person, an individual utilizing Bio alchemy would be capable of altering their own internal chemistry freely in addition to altering their form just as freely. While the upper limits of Bio alchemy are locked behind the restrictions of Level 1 and 2 casts, its abilities remain quite versatile and useful in most situations. While able to enhance the physical body by growing more biological matter and altering its type and ordering it into biological structures such as claws, armor, or even additional sensory organs the wielder of Bio alchemy is capable of a great deal more. One example of the complexity of this specialized alchemy is the wielder's ability to manipulate not just their base biological matter, but even the cells of microorganisms that come into contact with their body or anything originating from such. This allows for the bioengineering of various chemical compounds by altering the DNA of microorganisms on the body or in contact with the user's bodily fluids. This can take the form of manufacturing anti-venom or antidotes to poisonous substances which enter the body or even the breeding of new strains of either beneficial or harmful bacteria and other microorganisms of similar type. As such this allows the user to be a shapeshifter, of a sort, and a factory for biological life, as their alch spec gives them something of an intuitive understanding of such things--though not a complete one, mind you.

Alias/Nicknames: Kōrihime(Ice Princess).
Gender: Female.
Age: 380.
Age Appearance: 21.
Race: Plus–>Shinigami.
Rank & Division: Captain of the 2nd Division.

Additional Appearance Information

Harime stands at 5'6 and weighs 162 lbs.
Gigai Appearance

Personality: An esteemed member of the noble family of Kuchiki, Harime is a proud and aloof individual, preferring to rise above her emotions as a show of maturity and superiority among others. In this way she upholds a facade of cold, uncaring apathy, looking at the world through a lense of objectivity and logic. Still, despite her efforts, no one is perfect, as beneath the surface Harime is just as much a young girl as any other, with wishes, dreams, and aspirations. Among her flaws is her haughty nature, made more noticeable by her proper manner. Still, beyond these things is a girl desperately trying her utmost to rise up and do proud to her family, in particular her father to whom she holds immense adoration.

Beyond the mask of nobility is a secret love for excitement and a drive to rise above the rabble and distinguish herself to society. Still, she is a rather lonely soul, as her position drives her to push most away with the facade of cold that she drapes about herself, causing most to flee her and thus depriving her of friends that, deep down, she so sorely wishes she had.

History: INCOMPLETE.
"There is room for both beauty and cruelty in this world. Whether the two are equal however, is hard to tell," – Kuchiki, Harime.

Raised as the scion of the noble family of Kuchiki, Harime has been pushed to do her utmost for her entire life. Everything from her daily activities, to social interactions have been carefully watched and graded by her mother and father both. She has been groomed for greatness, and while she bears this burden proudly, it is a heavy one, and she is young. While she never complains or protests the harsh expectations laid for her by her predecessors, and parents, she is secretly weary of it all, wishing she could just live a normal life...as a common girl. Still, she is a proud girl, and while her brief moments might be spent daydreaming of another life, she instead spends them training, so as to hide the hard lump she feels in her heart.

Enrolled in the academy early on, Harime did stunningly in all fields however, at the behest of her father, was pushed to focus her efforts on the art of combat and synchronicity with her zanpakuto. Still even when she discovered her blade's name and proved to her father that she could achieve shikai, she was given oh so little recognition.

With each continued success her father merely raised the bar and she withdrew further into her aloof facade, trying to impress him with maturity, and hide from her own emotions.

As she neared her last year of the academy she felt immense relief, but also building trepidation. Her fears were realized when, upon graduating, her father made no effort to show that he was happy with her effort, he merely nodded, a look in his eyes saying that it was to be expected, she was a Kuchiki after all.

She cried that night.

---

Only a year later, after she'd been assigned to the 7th division, the academy called on her and a girl who had been one of her underclassman, by one year, for a demonstration to the Academy's new entrants. For no reason other than boredom, and perhaps the tiny hope that her father might see her and recognize her skill, she decided to participate. That was the day she met Rēku.

Rivalry's Beginning

Giggling merrily as she skipped into the arena, Rēku looked upon the new students at the academy. They were all...Older than her...Why couldn't there just be one, just one, person that was her age? Oh well it didn't matter one way or another. Then there was the arena. What they had prepared outdoors for this wonderfully pointless event was actually quite nice! You had some free pillars, a couple arch ways, it was plain, ordinary, and they even had sand in the pit to make them pretend to feel safer even! Then there was the instructor introducing Rēku and her opponent. It was a normal speech about how they were two of the top students of their class, blah blah, woof woof. He ranted a lot, but it was to be expected. After all the instructors had no other true talent then babbling to students. Rēku jumped up and down waving to the new students still giggling happily though.

Having entered at the same time as her would-be competitor, Harime's cold blue eyes drifted over the crowd, their gaze uncaring even as they returned to the instructor who stood between them. She said nothing, made no movements, 'cept those of her eyes, while she stood there...waiting. She was not what one would call a patient girl, but she was not impatient either. No, she lay somewhere inbetween, always waiting for the right time, or perhaps simply waiting for something worth her time at all. Nothing had appeared yet, and she did not expect to be surprised here, though such might be a nice change from the monotany of the world.

It hardly mattered. Nothing did. After another minute of the instructor's gibbering, her voice cut through his as her cold eyes lay upon him, "May we begin Ousu-san, I tire of waiting." The man turned to meet her eyes, but the moment he did he regretted it and turned away, taking a moment to regain his wits and speak to the crowd, "Without further ado, we shall begin the demonstration. Stay outside the bounds of the arena, we wouldn't want any accidents," his voice lilted joyfully before he used shunpo to exit the area himself.

Safely beyond the boundary he nodded to the two and called out, "You may begin!"

Harime's eyes turned to Rēku, as devoid of interest as they always were. Waiting...watching...judging.

This was her way.

Rēku was already getting more excited than she probably should've, or at least that's probably what everyone was thinking from her overly happy appearance. She wasn't overdoing the whole giggly happy kid routine was she? She shrugged it away in her mind doing a handstand while waiting on the instructor to finally shut up. Seriously, did they really need to rant this freakin' much? Then the other girl cut him off, thank god for that, and he got his boring self out of the way. Rēku finally ended with a cartwheel to stand up straight as the fool finally began the...what was this again...? Bout? Spar? Play? Ummmm...Demonstration! That was it! Rēku giggled once more gripping her zanpakuto's tsuba with two fingers looping through the holes where the floor design was to slowly begin sliding out her best friend excited to wake them. "Let's try and make this good, what do ya say?" She says innocently.

Her head tilting almost imperceptibly to the side, Harime's eyes briefly slid over the girl from top to bottom, then back to her face, looking into the graduate's purple eyes. Her gaze stayed on there, gazing at the eyes whose color was far too royal for the girl whose head they lay within. "That's not up to me," Harime replied dryly, her right hand gracefully drifting to the hilt of her blade, which was held in the sash on the left side of her waist. Her left hand hovered just over the opening of the sheath at her side. After a moment of brief thought, she spoke again, "I hope you're going to stop your foolishness now, and fight, because I'm growing quite...bored."

Rēku frowned like the child she was. "You know...You're not too fun..." Rēku finished pulling out her zanpakuto from its sheath by the tsuba twirling it slowly until after a couple of flips she was holding her zanpakuto horizontally infront of her with her right hand smiling. 'If miss boredom wanted to be so dull then so be it' Rēku slipped her tongue out of the corner of her lip smirking. 'Time to put a smile on her face...' Rēku then continued to lick the blade, tsuba to point. "Careful what you wish for...Devour and create...Ryūshi Tōzoku..." As a result Ryūshi Tōzoku began to glow a bright pinkish-purple color as the blade shrinks down to twenty-seven inches in length the glow dying down but not fading completely. Rēku grins as sparkles of pink and purple light seem to slowly exude from the blade.

"How crass," she mocked boredly as she drew her blade from its sheath, slowly, effortlessly. It was more like the blade was an extension of her body, than a tool for her use. Stepping towards her opponent, Harime began crossing the distance with a kind of elegance not often seen in many her age. One might have said it was a sign of maturity...or perhaps the result of a harsh regiment put in place by the noble house of Kuchiki.

It was the former.

"Rejoice," Harime said with her usual tone, "You are fortunate enough to witness my blade." With her meaning expressed, the girl let the tip of her zanpakuto enter its sheath once more. "Tesselate," with the phrase begun she withdrew the blade from its sheath, reiryoku now attached to its tip, "...Reitō seishin(冷凍精神 'Frozen spirit')." The tip emerged from her sheath and with it a large wisp of reiryoku came into view, its light blue shimmer drifting about the girl, always staying several feet from her form. There was a light shimmering as light was refracted against hundreds of miniscule ice crystals, which drifted down through the air and drapped the young shinigami's clothes, turning them a shade of pure white that one might describe as heavenly in its nature.

Her eyes resting once more on Rēku as she continued forwards, never increasing her pace, but never stopping. There were only three meters left between them. She was silent throughout.

Watching...

...Waiting...

...Judging.

She was a Kuchiki after all, and this girl was but a member of a fallen noble house. She was despicable.

Rēku blinked a couple times. Did this girl want to kill her with boredom? Technically she had a decent shikai release. It looked somewhat nice though she was so ungraceful with the semi-beautiful release. Rēku lowered her blade into the sand letting it slide in and secretely release three blade bits into the ground hidden under the ruse of just sliding it through sand and spinning around and kicking up sand with the blade to get in Harime's eyes as one blade bit launches from the tip towards Harime's left leg to slow down her opponent's movement as Rēku giggles jumping backwards onto her hands then pushing up and landing on her feet hopping back a couple more feet after landing.

The moment the sand was thrust into the air towards her eyes didn't even make her flinch, as immediately each individual granule of sand froze, and as they did the wisp could be seen lazily passing before her form. The crystals of ice then continued to spread from the tiny grains of sand, connecting them in less than two seconds. The ground was touched as well, freezing over somewhat. Harime's eyes glanced down and she hopped upwards and to the side lightly, her clothes fluttering as she did, nearly touching the small wave-like formation of ice. However, rather than her foot truly touch the formation, it touched only hardened air, before pushing off of it and landing on the other side of the ice, where the ground was not frozen. Her head tilted once more as she continued to approach, never ceasing her movement, "Why do you run, Tatasuko?" She queried almost curiously.

As she did so the faintly glowing mist passed behind her, and where the glittering fragments of light fell, the ground froze.

Rēku giggles merrily as she jumps back onto her hands again, and once more also pushes off into the air landing on her feet hopping back another couple yards smiling cheerfully as the blade bit that had gone for Harime's leg before came around and went for her left side to wound her. If it were to come into contact with Harime then instead of a cut they would feel that part of their body ripped away including a millimeter of what isn't touched. "What? You don't like to fight me at a distance like this? Or is it just embarrassing having to exert more effort to beat a mere Tatasuko? Or is it the fact that you'll lose to one because you won't be able to handle my power?" Rēku teased sticking her tongue out tauntingly hoping that this would keep Harime's attention from the blade bit. Secretly the other three blade bits had tunneled to where Rēku stood now but continued backing up step by step as the ground weakens after her as she slowly lures Harime into her trap.

An eyebrow rose at her words, then both lowered, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Surely you jest," she said in a strangely mocking tone, had her eyes not narrowed, one might have thought she was ignoring what the girl had said. Her actions proved otherwise.

Blade raising before her, the ground freezing just behind, the wisp of reiryoku traveled to the tip of her outstretched blade as she drew a delicate line from left to right. Where the wisp passed ice was revealed by its movement, forming a thin sheet of the frigid reishi. "Tachi-mai(裁ち枚 'Cutting sheets')," she proclaimed, the tip of her blade pressing against the center of the ice blade she had created. As she did so, the wisp suddenly darted down towards her own legs, circling around far too close for comfort. She, instinctively, hopped forwards once even as the sheet of ice suddenly flew forwards in a surge of movement, cutting through the air to reach its target. However, the wisp was not quite fast enough and so the tiny blade managed to just barely nick the edge of her leg through her clothes. She gritted her teeth, trying not to show any sign of pain...or weakness, to her adversary.

She didn't like the feeling. She knew the little traitor would laugh, and she hated that even more than the feeling.

"Seishin!" She called out, and immediately the wisp responded, shrinking into a miniscule point and in the same moment vanishing outright. The girl had noticed the tiny blade now as it curved back around to strike her.

Too slow, she raised her blade slightly, but even as she did the wisp suddenly emerged from the opening of her sheath, shooting forwards as it did so, and striking the blade bit head on. In the same movement, Harime had jumped to her diagonally forwards and to the left, so as to distance herself from the bit.

She glanced forwards at Rēku and noticed that the blade appeared measurably shorter than it had been before. Harime's eyes narrowed at that fact and as they did she decided to abandon certain notions in favor of ending this quickly. It wouldn't do to disappoint her father.

Meanwhile the blade bit would find itself buried within the wisp that was Seishin, a physical manifestation of her sword spirit, or at least a partial one. While Seishin could not contest its fellow zanpakuto for long, it managed to slow the shard down for roughly five seconds, before the blade extricated itself, now covered in tiny ice crystals, its form reflecting far more light than before, rendering it considerably more visible than it had been prior. Harime intended to make use of this in the future.

Rēku giggled cheerfully at the sight of her blade bit ripping away part of Harime's flesh. The minute amount of reaction Harime expressed was good enough. "Having a problem over there?" Rēku asked tauntingly. At this point her blade bits inside the ground had made a crescent moat around Rēku and thus were ready to surprise Harime. The blade bits moved in between the two girls underground and began zig zagging in a pattern that would actually look somewhat awe inspiring if it could have been seen preparing to strike at Harime from underground if she tried to come at Rēku and would move to intercept too, though the sad thing for Harime was that if she just stayed still they would also pounce on her. The one above ground had broken free of the wisp. Rēku believed she was beginning to learn a decent amount of Harime's zanpakuto, but she knew better than to assume she knew it fully. The freed blade bit would move to strafe accross Harime's lower back leaving a particle trail all the way to, through, and after it attacked. The tsuba on Rēku's blade had also started to glow though this was more of a blue-purple color which really helped show the flower outlined by the tsuba. As to the troublesome blade coming towards Rēku she simple leaned back down a bridge to watch the blade trail over her head.

She began moving once more, her senses noting the tiny blade beginning to trail towards her once more. She raised her own blade and then pulled her arm backwards somewhat. In the moment that she did, the sheet of ice that had just flown over her adversary had began to drop towards the ground, having lost momentum. However, as she pulled, the particle thin string of frozen reishi connecting the ice to her blade became visible and it came back. The blunt inner edge of the ice sheet would slam into Rēku's back, pulling her forwards if she could do nothing against it.

However, her situation was far more dire than that. With the passing of Tachi-mai was brought the same crystals of ice that ever drifted from the wisp's form. They had already touched the sand leading from where Harime had stood when she'd fired, all the way to where the Tatasuko now stood. The ground froze, but not just on the surface, the ice traveled downwards and as it did, the little Kuchiki became aware of the other blade bits below. Immediately she shifted gears, lunging forwards and away from the blade bit that attempted to clip her back. The ice continued to spread, moving outwards from its formerly two meters wide path, spreading, in seconds, to a width of seven meters, with Harime jumping just over the surface, solidifying an invisible trail of reishi barely a milimeter above the ground. To Rēku this would have been essentially invisible due to the utterly tiny amount of space between foot and ground respectively. The effect would however make it appear almost as if Harime's feet were gliding across the ground, giving a dainty grace to her movements. She was closing the distance fast, but as she did she noted the movement beneath the ice upon, which she ran.

Left, right, whirling upwards were the tiny blades. "Seishin," she beckoned, taking in a deep breath and exerting a small layers of reiryoku upon her clothes and flesh. As the first blade emerged and struck, her blade struck it in kind, hitting it away. She caught the second as well, but the third nearly hit her, before the wisp engulfed it, swept around her and caught the other two as they circled back around. Harime felt a tiny smile, one that would be so subtle as to barely be seen, tug at her lips. The elation of battle had begun to touch her nerves, she couldn't help it. However, she would not be lost in it, this she must never do.

With every moment that passed the crystals of ice propagated, in the sand as well as on Reku's flesh. Soon it would be time.

"Seishin!" She called once more and the wisp, which had briefly circled back to catch the third blade and then flown several meters away to release them, now returned, vanishing, then emerging from her sheath anew.

The last blade bit, in the wake of the three that had attempted to strike her, through the air at her side from behind. She spun on her heel, slashing behind her even as she continued to slide backwards. Her blade struck the tiny shard, and as it did...the shard was sent flying many more meters away than it ought to have been. She continued her momentum, turning on the same heel as if she had been skating on ice, and done a spin as she slashed. She once more faced Reku, the distance almost closed now. It appeared that Harime was serious now.

Rēku had been wanting to test her theories, and she got what she wanted. The ice seemed to become attached to her body, sadly proving her theory right although it seemed to spread faster than she had anticipated. On top of that this lovely little blade of ice coming back towards which was fine. Rēku licked her lips and lifted her zanpakuto as the remaining twenty-three blade bits spark on each other as they fly out in random directions scattering particles in their wake as two interrept and take in the ice blade which seemed to slow a bit, not much, but a bit. This seemed to create a new colored particle, interesting indeed.

This third color seemed to flow out with the other particles, its shade a silvery blue. This could possibly change things for what she was about to do, but she would have to wait and see. The blade bits began to circle Rēku at a quickly growing pace surrounding her as she stands up in an almost tornado like fashion. The rising heat seemed to also slow down the spreading ice upon her which was a plus. "Well it's been fun..." Rēku mused giggling softly. "But I think it's time to wrap this up, after all...We are responsible individuals with duties to get to!" She says clearly teasing and mockingly. As she did this though the blade bits created a tornado of particles flowing around her, and they only seemed to grow in number as the blades spun faster and faster and steam could also be seen from the beat mixing with the ice. "Bankai..." As she spoke the word the particles seemed to start moving differently as the four blade bits near Harime had begun dancing together creating more particles. "Suisei Ryūshi Tōzoku..." Rēku hadn't shown her bankai up until this point, it had been her little secret, but now she wanted everyone to know, wanted people to finally realize that she wasn't just a little kid in the way, Rēku wanted them all to know, that they were the ones in her way. All of the particles in the area that had been created up until that moment that had been floating around seemed to suddenly surge into all of the blade bits closest to them. The ice that had been slowly trying to encase Rēku shattered and quickly evaporated due to the heat and pressure being exerted from Rēku and her zanpakuto. Once all the particles had been absorbed into the blade bits and everyone could see once more, they would finally notice that each blade bit glowed even brighter now. A vibrant pink light shining brightly from each individual blade bit and as they flew there was no longer a stream of particles left in their wake, no. Now they were moving even faster and without any trace at all.

Retreating somewhat as she noted the strange movements of the tiny blades, Harime moved to a distance of 2.5 meters, where she stayed, eyes narrowed slightly. Biting her lip for a brief moment, Harime's eyes darted about for a brief moment before settling once more on her opponent. "I assure you, my duties far outweigh yours, yet here I am, dragged by these imbeciles for a demonstration for the academy," she scoffed, the slightest of annoyance apparent in her voice. Then Reku said that fateful word, one that even she had to admit she was shocked to hear.

Her eyes widened slightly as the the transformation finished, the blade's name stated in its completed form. How, how could this undesirable little bitch have bankai?! Gritting her teeth and exhaling long and slow, Harime did her best to return to the calm in her mind. Letting one's emotions get the best of them was equivalent of weakness...and she was not weak. She refused to be. Turning away from the absurdity of an academy graduate possessing, no, insulting the sanctity of bankai, Harime raised her zanpakuto above her head, its blade vertical in orientation. As she did so, she closed her eyes, took in one more calming breath, and proclaimed, "Hyōmaku(雹幕 'Hail curtain')."

Immediately Seishin gravitated to her blade, whirling about its form with increasing intensity, as it did so, the tiny shards of ice built up, slammed together by the speed and cohesion of their form. Harime's eyes met Reku's just a moment before her blade whipped down to her side and she pushed forwards, Seishin's form having apparently vanished. All that was left behind were what appeared to be a small storm of tiny ice shards that circled her blade. Mindful of their continually growing size, though they grew slower than her normal ice had, Harime held her blade out away from her body.

Then, her ice notifying her of the instability of the ground, Harime pushed off and upwards, flying into the air as she did so and slashing upwards as her body moved in the same direction. Eight glimmering six inch long shards of jagged hail were thrown from the blade as she slashed, each leaving a glimmering trail of ice crystals behind. Harime was done playing with this girl.

Rēku smiled and giggled looking up at Harime lifting her free hand making a fist then lifting one single finger, then moving it from side to side mockingly. One of the blade bits that was now behind Harime but still beneath her and near the ground started coming back towards Rēku and Harime, well they all did--all four of them, but this one stayed near the ground and as Harime tried launching an assault at her angle in the sky a beam launched from the single blade bit intercepting and vaporizing the ice assault leaving no immediate trace of Harime's attempt to strike at Rēku who continued to just smile and giggle at the feeble attempt. "What a fun little game! Are you going to throw more next?" She says with a child-like voice and curiousity some in the audience if they could even hear Rēku might even think it was genuine, hopeful though Harime would pick up on the fact that it was a jab at her futile attempt had been. However, Harime didn't even blink, her gaze unwavering as, almost from thin air, four formations of ice began to form, far more rapidly than normal. Harime pulled the tiny strands that connected them to her blade, channeling her reiryoku into them and sending the four attacks forth.

Pressing reiryoku onto the surface of her feet as she began to fall, Harime made contact with the tiny threads and pushed off of them to soar further into the air. As she ascended she flicked her blade in several directions and with each movement one shard that rotated about her zanpakuto was flung in an apparently random direction, each striking something. Some merely hit the ground, while others careened into the pillars and box-shaped obstacles that were scattered about the field.

As each struck ice erupted from them, covering three meters of space almost instantaneously upon doing so, before the speed at which they spread slowed back to its normal pace. As the last shard was released Seishin once more took form, emerging from her sheath as a wisp. "Be careful what games you play, little girl," Harime retorted before letting herself fall once more, Seishin ever present. However, she had a long way to fall, as through her ministrations she had risen roughly 20 meters into the air.

Rēku frowned pouting Harime really was no fun. It wouldn't be fun if she was careful! Rēku quickly smiled giggling once more. As boring as Harime's personality was, she wasn't half bad to go a few rounds with. In fact Rēku hadn't had this much fun in a long time!

Watching her adversary frown as she fell towards the earth, Harime brought her blade in front of her chest, its alignment horizontal. Placing her hand on the back edge of the blade near the end, Harime spoke, her tone ominous, "Shimo no genzen(霜の厳然 'Grave of frost')." The effect was immediate. Pillars of ice sprung forth from every surface that her ice had touched: The boxes and pillars, the sand, and even some of the space around Reku herself, which had not melted from the release of her bankai. However, what was perhaps most dangerous about the technique was not what you could see, but what you couldn't. With each tiny movement that Seishin made, light refracted and reflected within and between a hundred or so spikes and pillars of pressurized ice. It was like the glare from snow on a sunny day in winter, only far more blinding.

Rēku had to give Harime credit, at least she had a zanpakuto that could create beautiful art since it was apparent that Harime had no true artistic value. The blinding light was not expected nevertheless...a smile came to her face and she licked her lips. "Go ahead, Ryūshi..." Since Ryūshi Tōzoku had already tasted Harime's blood she didn't require Rēku to guide her, in other words she was awake for the hunt. The three blade bits in their small group sped up and kept twisting and intertwining keeping in an almost majestic pattern of flight as they attempted to assault Harime on their own in addition to the blade bit that had been underneath Harime. To top it off three more separated from the tornado of blades which then changed its pattern to keep defending Rēku the best possible way for the number. The assaulting blade bits would then attack Harime, faster, with more agility, they would now slash and burn the opponent wherever they struck instead merely tearing away at their body. The best part? After the first assault was dealt with somehow by the first four the next three would step in, and of course Ryūshi Tōzoku would use her favorite method. Surround, cut them up a bunch, and if Rēku permitted, destroy...And because of the light, Rēku simply closed her eyes still giggling happily at the pure pleasure of the fight.

While Reku was blinded, Harime remained able to see, the light directed in such a way as to not interfere with her own sight. So it was in this way that the young shinigami managed to note that despite Reku's own blindness, her blade appeared to have no trouble tracking her down. Annoying, she thought even as she continued to plummet through the air. She only had two techniques left, and one of them only lasted for three minutes--hardly any time at all.

This would be it.

The tiny blades closed in. She struck at one, using the hit to push herself away in the air, then stepping on one of the nearly invisible threads of ice as she had before and pushing down and off of that to evade another flurry of blades. SHe couldn't do it forever, and she knew she'd never be able to attack if she had to continue defending.

So she tried something.

"Hyōmaku!" She stated, inciting the creation of fourteen shards of ice, all orbiting her blade. Using several threads and a twist of her blade, she entered a spin, slashing her blade out in all directions at once. As she did so, the shards flew about, each adjusted by a slight flick or shift of her blade. Each blade bit had two shards aimed just inches from its form and as they neared it the heat set them off, causing the shards to explode violently, their ice overlapping and creating seven cages of super dense ice around the blade bits. She knew they wouldn't last.

Exiting her spin, she pushed off of one more thread and shot downwards at high speed, but rather than aim at Reku herself, she slashed twice through the air, muttering under her breath. A moment afterwards three harsh impacts with the ground would come to Reku's attention, one behind and to her right, another behind and to her left and the other directly in front of her. After barely a half second the sound of movement through air could be heard from all three locations, approaching her. It was too bad she still couldn't see the flash of light.

Rēku just kept giggling. The noises she heard meant it was probably time. "Ryūshi Tōzoku I trust your judgement..." A simple thing to say, but all that is needed, after all the two had a strong bond, though that should be obvious given Rēku having obtained bankai already. Let Harime try, after all Rēku still had a few tricks up her sleeve.

From in front and to her right sheets of sharpened ice slammed into her barrier of blades, and from the left a blade batted away at the bits even as one of Harime's feet gently tapped a crystal of ice. Yet none of the three had been the true assault. It was the flash of light that was Seishin hurtling downwards at Reku that had been, and there was no time to dodge. Pinned from three sides and struck from above, Seishin would expand just two feet before striking, enveloping both combatants, and the remainder of Reku's tiny blades. The young Tatasuko would hear one word just before it did, "Shikoromo(死衣 'Shroud')." Then everything froze.

As their battle concluded, then interrupted by the actions of the Instructor, Harime could not help but be slightly surprised as her ice dissipated, revealing the glowing pink shield that surrounded Reku. They had tied, and as her eyes turned away, looking to the crowd where her father stood, watching, she bit her lip as he turned away.

Swallowing hard, her eyes turned back to Reku as she sheathed her blade where they stayed, bearly maintaining the facade of calm that defended her. "You're lucky I was holding back," she managed to say, disdain in her voice, before she turned away and strode gracefully from the arena—anger just barely apparent in the speed of her walk. What Reku wouldn't realize was that it was not just anger, but disappointment and sadness too.

She had failed her father again, and she knew that going home now would only earn her his cold stare, or a long, harsh lecture. So instead she went back to her division, where she closed the sliding door of her room, and froze it shut. No one dared enter for the duration of that night.

Respite

[insert captain – Harime interaction?]

Still, those were happier days, two years ago, when they had not yet been at war. Things are different now, and whether her father recognizes her or not, Harime's primary concern is survival. If she can manage that with dignity, perhaps the man will notice her after all.

She doubted it.

Zanpakuto Spirit Personality: As cruel as the arctic winds, Seishin is unforgiving in her nature, never relenting and never giving any quarter. The spirit holds a certain fondness for her master though, hoping to help her where she can, but nonetheless she is a creature whose love is not expressed in gentleness, but through subtle cues hidden in her jagged icy exterior. It is in this way that Seishin has harshly pushed her counterpart to greater heights, though recognizing her talents and listening to her worries unlike her ungrateful father. Yes, Seishin is like a caring mother with a harsh sense of discipline and a strong penchant for tough love.

Inner World

Zanpakuto Spirit

Sealed State

Shikai: “Tessellate,” Harime's cold voice drones, an inch of her blade slipping into its sheath, “...Reitō seishin(_冷凍精神 'Frozen spirit').” Its name stated, Harime pulls it once more from its sheath, and with it emerges a growing wisp of reiryoku. With its emergence, a gentle frost settles upon her clothes, bathing them in a glowing white that freezes and remains.

Abilities: Reitō seishin is a creature of order and purity, its master a being of stark and unyielding cold. These aspects mold its abilities, which lay within the glowing wisp of energy that drifts about its master's form. This wisp constantly emits tiny ice crystals, creating a trail in its wake. Should these crystals come into contact with anything 'cept air and their kin, they begin to tessellate, generating more and more crystals of ice, which rapidly engulf whatever they touch in beautiful fractals. However, this is not its only ability, for the frost may encroach upon the internal structure of what it touches, its ice forming within, rather than manifesting externally. In this case, the ice will attempt to bring its structure to a perfected state, increasing its durability and general effectiveness in any given area. Unfortunately, this perfection is fragile as the ice it is wrought from, and so it is doomed to destruction.

Beyond the wisp's primary functions, it will move to defend its master, as it is after all a partial manifestation of Seishin, her sword spirit. In close range combat, should an opening be noted, or a command given, Seishin will strike, in an attempt to make contact and spread its ice on Harime's opponents. Seishin's wispy form, while appearing fragile, is in actually rather robust as it is composed of one 1/10th of its master's reiryoku. However, what makes it difficult to destroy is the method through which it generates ice. In essence, Seishin uses the reiryoku of which it is composed to draw in surrounding reishi. As it is drawn in, the reishi is condensed into minuscule frozen crystals—a process which is fueld by the reiryoku from which it was create--it is for this reason that Seishin is so difficult to destroy as the ice within its form is so dense as to be exceedingly difficult to shatter or melt. It should be noted that direct contact, especially if prolonged, will generate ice over a surface at a drastically increased rate and density in comparison to merely coming into contact with the crystals that the wisp sheds. Lastly, while Harime may command Seishin both through their bond, or vocally, Seishin's movement and behavior is not directly under its master's control and so it will move in the way that it deems most effective, rather than what Harime considers such.

Should Seishin's form be destroyed, or dispersed by its master's command, the spirit may emerge once more from its sheath. However, each time it does so it requires at least 1/15th of Harime's reiryoku to do so.

Techniques
Tachi-mai(_裁ち枚 'Cutting sheets'): Drawing a line through the air with her blade, the wisp following the motion, Harime creates a thin blade of ice. Once formed, she states the technique's name and taps the thin blade with her own, sending it flying forth at an impressive speed. As the ice sweeps through the air it leaves behind glistening crystals of ice identical to those which emanate from the wisp. While the thin sheet is fragile if struck, the ice is nonetheless capable of cutting through most mundane materials. Last among this technique's tricks is the almost invisibly thin thread of ice crystals which stretch from the point of contact, which drove the technique forth. This thread stretches all the way to Harime's blade, allowing for her to alter the trajectory of the sheet should she manipulate the thread with movements of her blade. It is a devious technique to match her zanpakuto's unforgiving and cruel nature. This ability is available in bankai, but requires Harime slash, turning the majority of the blade into the crescent blade.

Hyōmaku(_雹幕 'Hail curtain'): Holding her blade high in the air with its orientation vertical, the wisp gravitates to her blade then flies about it at high speed, the crystals that exude from its form creating anywhere between ten and forty-three shards of hail, each of a length of six inches. Following this, the wisp dissipates, staying as such for the duration of the technique. Should any of these shards strike a surface they erupt outwards to cover a three meters radius of space in a mere two seconds. Each of these shards, no matter their amount is connected to a tiny thread of ice crystals in the same manner is Tachi-mai. Not least of this technique's strengths is its reaction to assault should it be struck by energy. When such occurs a given shard will begin to grow rapidly, making it much more difficult to immediately destroy should the reiryoku be designed to damage or destroy. This effect is one of the results of using the wisp's condensed form to create attacks. This technique is available in Bankai, but the blade must be slipped within Seishin or coated in ice crystals prior.

Shimo no genzen(_霜の厳然 'Grave of frost'): After freezing any measure of ground-space with the ice of Reitō seishin, Harime is able to call upon this technique at the cost of 1/10th of her reiryoku. Upon the activation of the technique all surfaces coated, or frozen by, Seishin's ice undergo a rapid transformation as the growth of the ice is temporarily amplified several times. In addition to simply causing any patches of ice to increase greatly in size and density, Shimo no genzen may also cause spikes and pillars of ice to erupt from all laden surfaces. This technique is capable of additionally refracting light between portions of ice, making it a blinding technique to be within the midst of. Since she has gained more control over its formation she is capable of aiming the various protrusions.

Shikoromo(_死衣 'Shroud'): Utilizing the wisp of her shikai Harime is capable of creating a dome with a radius of 8 meters max. This dome--or sphere--has two functions, it may either act as a defense, creating a super dense layer of Seishin's ice on the perimeter of the structure, or an attack, instead filling in the barrier entirely with ice. Regardless, this technique requires roughly 3/20ths of her reiryoku each time it is used due to the sheer density of ice and the speed at which it is generated. This technique is not available in Bankai.

Tsuki no namida(_月の涙 'Tears of the moon'): Perhaps the most powerful of her techniques, Tsuki no namida is an ability that is barely within reach of the young shinigami. By giving Seishin 3/10ths of her total reiryoku the spirit's manifestation rapidly expands, dissipating outwards for ten meters in every direction. As this occurs all moisture, and free reishi, in the air is frozen into tiny marbles of ice, which remain suspended for the duration of the technique. Each of these many marbles is connected to Harime's blade via minuscule threads of translucent blue reiryoku. Currently Harime can only maintain this area for one minute before Seishin collapses back into its normal state. Following its use Shikoromo, Shimo no genzen, and Hyōmaku are disabled for a duration of four minutes.

Tsuki no namida, when mastered can last a total of eight minutes during which the tiny crystals of ice that coat Harime's clothes resist the touch of their kin, making any portion of her body covered in clothes temporarily immune to the effects of her zanpakuto. It should be noted that this however comes at a steep cost, as the moment the technique ends, the ice on her clothes will begin to freeze through them and touch her flesh, gradually increasing her abilities till she is entirely frozen in ice. The only escape from this inevitably fatal effect is to seal her zanpakuto, and once she has done so she cannot release it for three minutes. This technique is not available in Bankai.

Bankai: Slowly sheathing her blade, Harime calls upon Seishin and the moment that hilt meets sheath, the spirit expands, her reiatsu disipates, and her hand is thrust into Seishin's form. Ice overtaking her hand and wrist, Harime is revealed in an aura of refracted light, a massive serpentine being, Seishin, curled loosely around her, its eyes locked onto their opponent.

It is then that Harime's voice cuts through the light, “Bankai...”. With the name of the sacred form spoken, Harime slips her hand through the air before her, light coalesces and so is formed her blade. Its translucent weapon alters the light around her, and so the world dims and in this moment, three scarves forming at its end as Harime speaks the name of the blade. “...Reitō seishin – Ko Yuki-onna(_{冷凍精神 - 雪-女子} 'Frozen Spirit – Child of the Winter goddess).”

Abilities: Retaining its indiscriminate nature and shikai capabilities, Harime's bankai pours reiryoku and reiatsu into Seishin's form, shifting it into its massive serpentine state. This has several results, of which one of the upsides is the increased speed at which Seishin is capable of generating or releasing its miniscule crystals of ice. However, more notable is Seishin's ability to condense ice crystals within his form thus allowing the pair to choose when and where ice is released with greater precision. This reveals the presence of athin layer of reishi and reiatsu, which now makes up a sort of skin on the outer surfaces of Seishin's body. This allows things, such as Harime herself, to come into contact with the serpentine spirit without immediately succumbing to the ice, which dwells within.

Moving past this new advantage, Seishin can not just release, or contain, ice crystals at will, but is also capable of channeling them through his mouth. Now able to mold the crystals into varied shapes, Seishin can release orbs, cubes, and other geometrical forms to cause specific attacks. The spirit is additionally capable of channeling light through its body via refraction. However, despite all these new advantages, Seishin is now much larger and despite being able to fly will become increasingly heavy as its density increases. As such, Seishin becomes slower unless it expels crystals in an either continuous or periodic fashion, the latter requiring the release of more ice crystals than the former.

With Seishin's abilities in mind, Harime's own should also be considered. With the addition of a glove on one of her hands, composed of ice reishi, and foot wear of similar make, Harime is now capable of indirectly coming into contact with her own ice on the aforementioned surfaces. Nonetheless, as mentioned, her zanpakuto's ice tessellation remains a threat to her own wellbeing. As to her weapon, which is composed entirely of the ice generated from Seishin. While possessing incredible cutting power and perfect balance, the weapon is fragile. To make up for this, the blade can either be replaced by one made from Seishin's form, or can regrow if supplied with reiryoku. This blade is not capable of generating its own ice crystals like Seishin, but it can absorb them if it makes contact and then release them later. While Harime cannot directly mold the shape or length of the blade, she can strategically gather ice crystals on its form in order to alter its shape. This process is typically painstaking and can take long periods of time. It should be noted that in bankai, Harime possesses next to no presence in addition to not leaking any reiryoku. This is due to the fact that all her reiryoku is channeled either into the ice armor or weapon on her person. The remainder of this reiryoku is contained within Seishin, making the being tremendously powerful. If Seishin runs out of reiryoku or is destroyed, Harime's bankai ends and she will be incapable of further combat.

The ice of Harime's bankai spreads faster than that of her shikai as its density is effectively doubled. Harime can choose whether her ice expands on a more vertical or horizontal plane, but only so long as Seishin's intentions do not oppose her own.

Techniques
Migoto enkō(_見事円光 'Lustrous nimbus'): An ability taking the advantage of the refraction of light through ice, Migoto enkō has several sets of requirements before it can be utilized. One manner of use may be achieved via Harime's blade and requires she continually build up ice crystals on its form. After 10 seconds, Harime can create a flash of light from her blade by shifting its orientation in relation to a light source. After 30 seconds she can shift it slightly, causing a stunning flash of brilliance that can blind for up to 10 seconds. After 1 minute and 30 seconds this technique reaches its strongest state in this format, making it capable of surrounding Harime in a nimbus of light that obscures vision for a maximum of 30 seconds.

The second application of this technique is utilized through the environment and as such requires a significant amount of reflective surfaces be present. This is often in the form of the ground, any walls, and a good deal of spires. This technique uses Harime's sword to redirect light in any manner of directions to send it throughout the area, creating a blinding area, which is near impossible to see in. The amount of time necessary to set up this technique is 30 seconds as Harime's blade must first gather ice crystals with which to reflect light from the blade to surrounding ice coated, or created, structures.

The third and last application of Migoto enkō originates from Seishin himself and must require he be active for 5 minutes—in which time Seishin must not utilize Mitsugo fubuki. Once the prerequisites are met, Seishin can release a massive quantity of ice crystals into the area. During this technique Harime is capable of extending her armor's immunity to her ice crystals to her entire body for a maximum of 1 minute. She may do this in bursts, but due to her mastery it is possible for her to simply move the immunity area in tiny section over her body, causing them to be exactly where they need to be when they need to be there. The result of this technique is three fold. Either a powerful flash of light is released, blinding anyone with open eyes for 5 minutes. Additionally, the release of these crystals makes the battlefield a dangerous place indeed as contact with them is likely to result in the spread of the ice onto one's person. It also serves to spread the ice over other surfaces. Conversely, Seishin can continuously channel light into the numerous ice crystals, creating a blinding area for up to 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Mitsugo fubuki(_{三つ子吹雪} 'Triplet's blizzard'): dissolving the outer membrane of its body for a mere moment, Seishin splits its mass equally into three identical bodies. This allows for the spirit to better multitask and support Harime and vice versa. This technique however makes each manifestation of Seishin weaker and less sophisticated. Nonetheless, the three can merge into one form once more as long as they do not double in size while split. This requires that they release ice crystals with greater frequency. Should Seishin's bodies eventually reach the same size that they were before splitting, each will split into three additional forms. However, after this split the individuals will continue to diverge every 2 minutes, getting smaller and smaller till they are all about the size of Seishin in its shikai state. At this point [] may be activated.

Yukiko no are(_{雪子の荒れ} 'Ice child's tempest'): After Mitsugo fubuki's critical juncture is met, Yukiko no are may be activated. A truly devastating technique, Yukiko no are is truly the final technique of Harime's bankai, unfortunately in more ways than one. Due to the sheer amount of power present in the use of this technique, it is virtually impossible for Harime to both activate it and survive its use unless she is already outside its considerable area of effect.

Nonetheless, once activated, all of Seishin's bodies, now reduces to wisp-like states lose their ability to contain both reiryoku and reishi. In the same moment, Harime is once again capable of manipulating her reiryoku, thus allowing her to move the many wisps into a massive spiraling motion akin to a blackhole, if airborne, or a hurricane, if preformed on the ground. The area of effect is always 50 meters in a circle or a sphere and within this area the ice crystals and reiryoku rapidly whirl about, turning anything in contact to ice almost instantly, or very quickly with continued exposure. This lasts for about 30 seconds and while it would almost certainly kill Harime along with it, this is not the end of the technique. Once the 30 seconds have elapses the area becomes a solid sphere of ice, freezing even the ground beneath it if used from such. With a tiny rest time of 5 seconds, the sphere will remain dormant, but after that point in time the pent up energy is released and an explosion of reiatsu and shattered ice, which still spreads on contact with anything, erupts outwards, using the sphere as fuel and as such destroying it all at once.

This final effect will leave a crater as the ice sphere either falls to the earth, or destroys the ground it froze upon shattering. The collatoral damage depends on location and geography, but it could potentially cover miles of ground. As such, Harime is banned from its use in all realms except Hueco Mundo or the Dangai. Only under extreme circumstances would she use it at all, and if severe enough, she might be cleared to use it in a populated area—though the occurrence of an incident of this magnitude is exceptionally unlikely. It should be noted that being within this attack is also blinding due to the refraction of light. If one were to miraculously survive the attack, this blindness would still be permanent even if their eyes had remained closed the entire time.

~"Seeking freedom and peace makes for a long trek."~

Hider

【Personal Info】

【Name: Dornae Namari.
【Nicknames: Dorn; Rae.
【Alias: The Luckless Enchanter; Luckless.
【Age: 28.
【Birthday: August 21st.
【Age Appearance: 28.
【Gender: Male.
【Sexuality: Heterosexual.

【Rank: A rank.
【Guild: Searching.

【Additional Appearance Info: Dornae stands at 6' and weighs 182 lbs. He does not carry a pistol, but he does wear a backpack, and carry two daggers. The first dagger is hidden by his duster and is situated horizontally at his back on his belt whereas the second dagger is at his right hip. On his person, beneath the mantle draping over his shoulders and upper chest, are twenty throwing daggers. Last is his Blade Catalyst, which is seen in his appearance, at his back.

【Biography: Dornae was born in a small village called Esvin to loving the loving Dervin and Orelha Namari. Three years after his birth his mother's twin sister died, sending Orelha into a spiraling depression, and physical illness to boot. The woman began to ignore him and even when she recovered she was a changed woman. Unable to properly mourn her death because of having to take care of her young, oblivious son, Orelha gradually grew to resent her child. As the years passed, Dornae found himself the object of an escalating cycle of emotional abuse, perpetuated by his mother's misplaced grief. With his father often not home due to work keeping him busy, this continued till Dornae turned seven. That year Dervin finally witnessed first hand the cruelty of his wife as he noticed her continued neglect of their child. Eventually sparking an argument, the couple fought and by the end of it, Dervin decided that something had to be done.

As such, not wanting to leave his wife due to her not being in her right mind, but being unable to take care of his child due to work, Dervin sent Dornae away to live with his Aunt and older Cousin, Lehari and Hannah Vester. Here things changed for Dornae as his aunt treated him like her own offspring, doting on him and slowly pulling out of the shell his own mother had pushed him into. While it took nearly a year, Dornae opened up to them, though he never quite recovered, always seeming somewhat withdrawn around others. As such, Dornae really only had two friends growing up, one was his cousin, and the other was the son of the village hunter, Asther Dekain. While he had essentially no other friends, Asther, Hannah, and Dornae were practically inseperable.

>Dornae has innocent crush on Hannah.
>Grows up, it fades and passes
>Dornae has his first encounter with Mary Olsven. Falls in love, the two court for a few months, but it doesn't go anywhere, eventually tapering off and becoming a close friendship. She was his first kiss.
>Dornae takes turns 15 and takes an interest in history.
>Discovers references to Magical tomes in some of his history books.
>Unknowningly has a chance encounter with Nayen Julaed, meeting her brother in the process.
>With much thought, Dornae decides that, on his 16th birthday he will leave home to visit Nayen's brother Calteri.
>On his 16th birthday, Dornae's father visits to celebrate, as he has every other year since he was 8. Dervin gives Dornae two gifts. The first is his Grandfather's dagger, Imprimere and the second is an Enchanter's tome.
>Dornae bids his family farewell and sets off from home.
>Dornae, as he planned to, travels to Magnolia to visit the remnants of Fairy Tail. He studies his tome on the way there.
>In Magnolia he meets Nayen while doing street magic. The two hit it off. Within weeks a romance blossoms.
>Continuing his studies, Dornae shares his passion with Nayen.
>1 year passes and Nayen's brother teaches him mapmaking as a trade in case the two marry.
>Dornae and Nayen find themselves out at night watching fireworks during the Harvest Festival, now hosted by a different Guild.
>On their way home muggers assault the two, Dornae tries to defend them, but he's no fighter. In the struggle, Nayen strikes her head on the wall of an alley. Dornae gives their assailants anything of value he has. Luckily he was not carrying his tome, backpack, or his grandfather's dagger.
>Dornae carries Nayen to the nearest healer...sadly she is too far gone and dies that night of blood loss and brain hemorrhaging.
>Nayen's brother, in grief, ousts Nayen from their home, telling him if he sees Dornae again, he will pay with his life. Incidentally, the two do not meet again.
>Dornae, similarly in grief, leaves Magnolia, as the place is too strongly tied to Nayen in his mind.
>1 year passes, and Dornae begins his studies of Dark Guilds and Earthland's Underground societies.
>Dornae encounters Emiru, due to delving too deeply in the Underground of Acalypha Town. He narrowly escapes with his life, but as such gains both Emiru, and unknowningly, Garin Bet.
>Dornae flees Acalypha and for 2 years travels almost nonstop. In this time he acquires Othisi and begins more seriously learning Enchantment.
>During his travel he meets, and briefly becomes romantically involved with Calea Swallow. While surely a fierce woman, the two get along fairly well.
>In their travels through Web Valley, Calea and Dornae have a falling out and the two part ways.
>Tired from his constant travel, and emotionally exhausted due to his breakup with Calea, Dornae uses some of the money he's accumulated to rent out a small apartment in a small village located in Web Valley.
>He meets Tessa who tells his fortune, thus leading him to his relationship with Maywether. The woman, while adventurous and caring, after several months, reminds him too much of Nayen. The two break up.
>Dornae, still caring for Mayweather, gives her a way to contact him, and after another several months departs from Web Valley, having stayed there a total of 2 years.
>Within the next 3 years, Dornae meets Natalia and Carsephone. He is romantically with Natalia for half of this time. After his...rough break up with the aggressive woman, he meets and hire Carsephone as his body guard. The two become friends.
>Unknown to Dornae, Natalia's jealousy and hatred for him leads her to joining a Dark Guild to further her motives. This results in her leading Dornae into a trap, which while a failed attempt on his life, succeeds in making Sir Harreth Telvani an enemy.
>Later on, Dornae comes to stay in Crocus where he meets Annis. Their circumstances unique, a romance nonetheless blossoms between the two. Eventually Annis parts ways with him, but the two never broke off their relationship and thus keep contact. Every so often they meet, almost as if drawn together by fate. Dornae has never been more in love. However, due to Annis' interesting disposition, she is equally perplexing, leaving him with a mixture of longing and confusion in his head and heart.
>Still in Crocus, Dornae's now fairly well developed magical talents lead him down the path of searching for a Guild. With the hosting of the Grand Magic Tournament, Dornae decides to search for possible candidate Guilds while attending. This is where his story truly begins.

【Personality: Dornae is a complex man, with a shadow draped over patches of his past. He is passionate and caring, but tends not to readily connect with others, instead keeping them at arm's length without letting them know that he's doing so...at least not bluntly. He has an odd tendency to tongue clicking when he's nervous and while he is selfless enough to offer a blanket to someone cold, or food to someone hungry, he is not so selfless as to sacrifice his life for someone else. He is an odd mixture of pragmatism and idealism, making him somewhat conflicted at times when he sees the need to be realistic and practical, but desperately wishes he could manifest the ideal result in a given situation.

Dornae often feels lost, as if he has not found his place in life. Perhaps this is why he seeks a Guild and, subconsciously, companionship as it is something that he has very little of when it comes down to it. One might wonder why and if they managed to get close to him—this being something of a feat—they would discover a wounded man with a fear of intimacy due to loss and emotional abuse stemming all the way back to his childhood. Incidentally he can seem aloof as he tries to keep himself in check and not make the same mistakes he has in the past. Nonetheless, he is an eloquent, if enigmatic, and hard working man with a strong sense of justice. Unfortunately this is offset by his perfectionistic nature, making him want any situation to end ideally despite knowing logically that such is simply implausible. This tendency of his has made him something of a sentimental creature, causing him to keep small trinkets to help him remember things and people near and dear to him. This is, in essence, his nature.

【Relationships】

Hider

【Family】

Grandfather: Leimar Namari(Deceased).

While his grandfather is no longer in this world, the man bequethed his Lacrima dagger as an heirloom, gifting it to him when he was but a babe.

Grandmother: Jainia Namari(Distant).

A woman of advanced age these days, Dornae's grandmother was a mage in her day. Dornae's early memories of the woman include her telling stories of her days as a Guild master. Sadly, with the death of her husband, her health declined greatly and so Dornae is not close with the now sad old woman.

Mother: Orelha Namari(Strained).

Dornae does not remember his mother kindly. They have not spoken or shared correspondance for years. She was not what one would call a good mother when Dornae was growing up.

Father: Dervin Namari(Moderately Close).

While Dornae remembers hating his father growing up, he appreciates him now for sending him to his Aunt and so providing a stable family environment. The two share correspondance via letters quite often.

Aunt(Fraternal): Lehari Vester-Namari(Adoptive Mother).

The mother that Orelha should have been, Dornae's aunt Lehari raised him from the age of 8 onwards. As such the two are almost as close as any mother and son. However, Dornae does not keep regular correspondance with his Aunt, mostly so as not to worry her. So as to not leave her in the dark, he does send her letters every now and then.

Cousin: Hannah Vester(Very Close).

Closer than most siblings, Dornae's cousin is more like a slightly older sister than anything else. The two were inseperable growing up and confided much in one another. While their relationship has been strictly platonic for a long time, Dornae once had a crush on his cousin. Due to familial relation, this of course did not pan out or go anywhere. It was innocent really. Dornae keeps Hannah updated on his life. She'd probably hunt him down otherwise.

【Friends】

Carsephone Vellarka: Monster Hunter(Close).

A woman who he met in a tavern a few times. Carsephone has accompanied him on his travels here and there, the two using one another's skills to take down beasts and help locals—often with Dornae paying her to help him do so. Since the two have crossed paths at least twenty times over the past 5 years they've become pretty friendly. Despite her fairly serious demeanor, Dornae has come to enjoy Carsephone's company greatly, finding her to be an intensely knowledgeable woman and as such an interesting conversation partner—not to mention traveling companion. Carsephone keeps in contact with him by way of a form of telepathic magic that, according to her, she was born with.

Asther Dekain: Village Hunter(Close).

His childhood friend, Asther, these days, is an excellent shot and an even better sparring partner—be it physical or intellectual depends on the night. Having grown up with the now 27 year old Asther has fostered a strong brotherly bond with the hunter. Though their paths have split, Dornae remembers his friend fondly and, when he visits, makes sure to stop by and share stories over dinner.

【Loved Ones】

First Love: Mary Olsven(Friends).

A girl he met in the early years of his adolescence, Mary was his first kiss and while their relationship didn't last terribly long, the two have remained friends even after its end. Dornae sometimes sends her letters when he's feeling nostalgic. The girl is, nowadays, an aspiring artists and singer. He enjoys her art quite a bit as she often sends him copies in her letters.

Ex: Nayen Julaed(Deceased).

Their relationship lasted a bit over a year and unfortunately ended in tragedy. Nayen died due to head trauma during a mugging on their way home after a day at the Harvest festival. Her death is part of what inspired Dornae to become more skilled with his magic. It is also one of the reasons he is hesitant to get close to people.

Ex: Calea Swallow(Distant).

The two had a tumultuous relationship based on their mutual want for company as they traveled and Dornae's need for companionship at the time. It ended as spectacularly as it started and because of that the two are distant now. As such, the two do not maintain contact.

Ex: Mayweather Cicilian(Hesitant friends).

While the two had a relatively smooth relationship, it turned out that May simply reminded him of his failure with Nayen too much so the two did not work out. This has left Mayweather feeling somewhat insecure, and while Dornae does his best to make her perrish the thought, it has not yet succeeded. The two are in contact, though they live far away from one another.

Ex: Natalia Asteri(Enemy).

Their relationship having ended rather abruptly when Dornae called it off due to Natalia's overbearingly aggressive nature, the woman has since made it her personal mission to hunt him down and make him pay for his perceived slight to her honor. This is turned into a rather dangeorus situation by the fact that Natalia is a mage capable of manipulating the mind—specifically by the use of a form of hypnosis.

It's Complicated: Annis Vhaers(???).

Discussing the complexities of Dornae and Annis' relationship is something that would take too long to do and would additionally give spoilers. Guess you'll have to find out at a later date.

【Enemies】

Emiru Artel: Dark Mage/Criminal.

Having first encountered Emiru when doing research on a particular city's underground, Emiru now hunts him due to his knowing her name and face, which makes him a loose end. The girl, despite being only 8 at the time, was a magical genius capable of assimilating the abilities of living beings and then crafting them, utilizing her energy, into a form of dark familiar. She is considered at least an A rank threat and is wanted for a rather large sum of money. Oddly, despite having killed and maimed a generous amount of people, she is wanted alive. Provided she is still alive, Emiru would now be 18. Dornae only knows her former appearance, not her current one.

Sir Harreth Telvani: Dark Mage/Guild.

A former mageknight of Fiore, Sir Harreth defected from the government and joined a Dark Guild. The man is infamous for his ability to twist and warp anything within a designated 10 meter radius. He additionally possesses a form of fire magic, which requires both magical energy from the caster, and body fluid from the victim. These flames as such have the tendency of pulling all liquids from the human body, the effect seems to be somehow related to Sir Harreth's ability to warp physical structures within a given area. Once again Dornae's studies caused him to come into contact with this SS ranked mage. Having discovered the location of his Guild and learned too much about his magic, Sir Harreth, at the very least, wants Dornae in his custody. Why he doesn't outright want him dead is a mystery to Dornae.

Garin Bet: Underground Broker.

Encountered in the same city as Emiru Artel, Garin Bet is a man with no on the record crimes. However, it is fairly common knowledge that the man is one of the biggest contributers to the blackmarket. It is actually due to Garin that Emiru became involved with Dornae. Dornae is actually not entirely aware of Garin Bet's status as his enemy and as such the man is a particularly dangerous element—especially given that the man's reputation pins him as someone who will do anything to reach his ends.

【Associates】

Tessa: Fortune Teller/Herbalist.

Something of an enigma to Dornae, Tessa is a woman shroaded in mystery. However, she is also a useful business acquaintance as she procures and prepares any manner of herbs and medicines. Whether she is truly an alchemist and creates some of the potions, poultices, and salves that she sells he does not know. Similarly, Dornae has yet been unable to tell as to whether or not Tessa's ability to tell people's fortunes is magical...or just an elaborate ruse. Whatever it is it's complicated.

Graeden and Jaina Vilkr: Blacksmith/Seamstress.

While not someone he visits terribly often, Graeden is someone that Dornae keeps in mind. Reason being that he's the man who crafted his Blade Catalist and Catalyst daggers. If that weren't enough, his wife is the one who sew and mended his clothes many a time.

【Teammates】

Unknown:

Nothing to say yet. Will include team dynamic with each person. Combat dynamic and social as well. Whether or not they are rivals.

【Equipment】

Hider

【Weaponry】

Lacrima Heirloom: Imprimere(Engrain).

An heirloom from his late grandfather, this equisite dagger is composed entirely of expertly sculpted lachrima. The dagger easily channels ethernano and, intriguingly enough, regrows if damaged—though this requires ethernano be fed into it for this purpose. Dornae often uses Imprimere to carve sigils due to its ability to channel ethernano and the fact that its cutting power is often sufficient. Dornae carries Imprimere in a simple enchanted sheath—made to be more durable—on his belt at his right hip.

Catalyst Blade: Othisi(Impetus).

A weapon that Dornae had specially forged for the express purpose of being a magical catalyst, Othisi is designed first for magic, and second for defense. Like most magical catalysts, Othisi is tuned to its user's magical energy, making it useable only by its owner. The weapon is designed to channel ethernano through itself, wherein the magical energy is focused with little effort of the mage. Then, via any number of runes inscribed upon it, the mage moves it in various patterns, often whilst humming or singing, thus activating various runes, which in turn code magical effects into the ethernano within. At the caster's will the spell, or spells, can be released from Othisi. It should be noted that while Othisi is incredibly durable due to the enchantments on its form, it is much lighter than it looks due to it being mostly hollow. Othisi is kept in its scabbard at his back. Its scabbard is designed to repel magical energy on all of its surfaces.

Throwing Knives: Catalyst Daggers.

There initially appears to be nothing special about these knives, that is until you discover the small lacrima hidden within and note that they too are designed to be magical catalysts. As such, Dornae can store simple spells within the lacrima and have them release in a variety of ways with the daggers acting as catalysts. These small knives can also be utilized to anchor area of effect magic. He keeps these throwing knives in various places hidden in specialized pockets on the inner portion of his mantle and duster. He carries 20 of them.

【Armor】

Enchanted gloves: Tuitio(Defense).

Seen in his main appearance picture, these leather gloves and bracers are enchanted to be resistant to cutting. They do not help with blocking blunt force attacks.

Leather Armor:

Like all of his clothes, Dornae's leather armor is enchanted to be far less likely to succumb to wear and tear in addition to not restrict movement. This does not make his armor much more capable of defending him, though it does make it more comfortable!

Mantle: Solatium(Comfort).

The small mantle that goes over his shoulder and upper chest, being the layer above his duster, is not all that useful practically speaking. However, Dornae is not your typical individual and as such has enchanted this mantle to regulate his temperature. While this does not defend him from being incinerated by a fireball, it does mean that he is considerably more comfortable in both cold and hot climates. Solatium is possesses an enchantment, which lightens his load so that he can always move quickly and efficiently. This effect does not apply to anything he is trying to lift, only things he is carrying or wielding. Dornae sometimes calls his mantle “a traveler's best friend,” as he has made several and sold them to eager clients.

【Tools】

Woodcarving Knives:

Used for his wood carving...obviously. He keeps this knife in his pack unless he needs it.

Enchanter's Knife:

Used for carving runes into things so as to enchant them. He uses this when he's not using Imprimere. He keeps this knife in a specialized pocket-sheath located on his backpack.

Hunting Knife:

Used for cutting up meat if he goes hunting whilst traveling. Located on the back of his belt, and within its small leather sheath oriented horizontally, handle pointed to his left.

【Miscellaneous】

Smoke Bomb:

Fairly self explanatory, these are small pellets containing magically condensed smoke. They are made of a highly flammable material, which reacts with a sparking mechanism when impacting something.

Caltrops:

Small items used to impede movement, Dornae keeps about 100 of these in his pack.

Backpack:

This carries his waterskin hanging from one side, his Enchanter's Knife, any provisions he picks up, and other miscellaneous items.

【Mundane】

Hider

【Physical Skill】

Singing: Inborn.

Having been sired from two decent singers, Dornae is fairly good at it himself. However, he is not so good that he'd draw massive crowds or seranade others with his voice.

Dancing: Learned.

Due to enjoying movement and wanting to develop his physical coordination, Dornae has made an effort to learn this skill. It has taken him awhile, but it has improved his coordination and body control considerably.

Swordplay: Learned.

Having picked this skill up over the years due to his magic's necessity for a catalyst and his own need for defense, Dornae has developed the ability to wield a sword in a purely defensive fashion. As such he is capable of parries, counters, dodges, and blocks in particular. While he understand the balance of his chosen weapon well enough to swing it properly, he tends not to do so unless there is a significant opening, or it relates to the use of his magic.

Efficient Movement: Learned.

Due to having studied dancing and swordplay, not to mention his tendency to get in trouble, Dornae has developed very efficient movement. This allows him to quickly traverse environments similar to free running and parkour. It also means his maneuvers in combat don't waste as much energy.

【Mental Skill】

Persuasion and Diplomacy: Inborn/Self Taught.

Dornae has always had something of a magnetic personality and while it was partially stunted during his childhood, it has grown greatly since then. As such, and likely due to his tendency to gather knowledge where he goes, Dornae has learned very well how to persuage people and additionally is very able when it comes to problem solving in groups. Nonetheless, it should be known that Dornae does not like conflict so he tries not to solve the social problems of others too much as it stresses him out and often makes him feel rather uncomfortable.

Abstract Thought: Inborn.

Dornae has always been prone to abstract thought. This allows him to be quite unconventional in both how he thinks and how he fights. It is certainly a large contributer to his ability to solve problems efficiently, even if not in the most straightforwards manner.

Empathy: Inborn.

Due in part to his personality type, in part because of his intelligence, and also due to his life experiences, Dornae is very good at understanding and sometimes even emulating the emotions of others. He's been through a lot and so he finds it easier to cut through people's facades and see their true self. Oh yeah, and don't try to lie to him, he's probably going to notice.

Bartering: Self-Taught.

Due to having sold wares many times to sustain himself while traveling, Dornae has become skilled at haggling and generally gaining or acquiring things via currency and conversation.

【Trade Skill】

Locksmithing: Taught.

Simple enough, this skill allows Dornae to construct, take apart, or pick locks with expert ease. He picked up this skill from his mischievous cousin and some other...more shady individuals.

Street Magic: Taught.

Not to be confused with real magic utilizing ethernano, Street Magic is all slight of hand, illusion and deception. Dornae learned this as a way of making a bit of coin on top of some of his other skills. It has also increased his dexterity and attention to detail, allowing for some other less orthodox use of the talent.

Woodcarving: Self-taught.

While he is not at all great at carving, he is good enough to make at least rudimentary animals or people. However, he is not skilled enough at details. It takes him immense amount of time to get details right...and typically more than one try.

Mapmaking: Self-taught.

Due to his two year forray into this field, Dornae is a decently skilled cartographer. This also means that he has some skill in sketching.

Artistry: Self-taught.

Dornae is, while not an amazing artist, fairly skilled in the basic principles of painting and sketching. This is something he picked up over a long period of time as both a hobby and a helpful addition to his Cartographic skills—not to mention self expression.

【Enchantment】

A form of magic often misunderstood, Enchantment is split into several formats, namely Alteration and Substantiation. While Enchantment is something that is easily learned by anyone with magical competance it is not something easily mastered by just anyone. The reason for this is simple, Enchantment's basic application only requires knowledge of runes, which act as a form of coding for ethernano. As long as one can write runes properly and then fuel, or charge them, with magical energy they can enchant an object. However, this is where the common practitioner deviates from the master. While the basics of enchantment only require ethernano for power and runes for purpose, advanced enchantment requires polyphony and an incredible grasp of magical processes.

In layman's terms, Advanced Enchantment uses symbols in the form of runes, sound in the form of song, and ethernano as power and control. Additionally, it should be made known that while the material that runes are inscribed upon usually does not influence the quality of an enchantment, it can. Lacrima, biological forms--dead or alive-- and metals tend to be ideal enchanting materials. Partially hollow structures also assist with the channeling of ethernano and thus make enchantments stronger.

The two aforementioned forms of Enchantment are defined as follows:

Alteration:

Often considered the simpler of the two forms of Enchantment, Alteration deals with the imbuing of magical effects into typically non-magical things. As such, Alteration cannot be utilized on the body by any known means. Alteration does not truly alter the material it is applied to, but instead uses magical energy from the wearer's body to fuel its effects. As such only incredibly intricate Enchantments of this type function without a wielder, and such are exceptionally rare. Advanced Alteration Enchantment requires that the wearer of the Enchanted object be capable of polyphony, which is also known as "resonance". This is the act of not just fueling the runes with magical energy, but attuning that magical energy to the runes by moving the ethernano at the proper frequency and speed. Doing so enhances the effects of the runes greatly, but unless the inscribed runes are designed to handle this process, they will eventually wear out and cease to function. This is due to the fact that runes effectively inscribe magical "pathways," inside of an object. The arrangement and form of these pathways causes ethernano channeled through them to take on certain effects. When polyphony is used in tangent with pathways that are not designed to handle significant stress, the pathways are worn down and lose the proper structure to alter the ethernano's nature. However, since these pathways are not destroyed, they can still channel raw mana, allowing a broken enchanted object to leak or shoot magical energy once it is sufficiently damaged.

Substantiation:

While Alteration deals with imprinting pathways onto something so as to enchant it, Substantiation has to do with actually altering the thing itself, be it temporarily or permanently. Enchanted objects that were created through Substantiation are also more likely to be capable of functioning even without a wielder. Essentially, Substantiation works by way of the Enchanter channeling ethernano into something and then storing it within that thing. The use of polyphony is essential, but even more important is the mage's understanding of how ethernano behaves. The more advanced the mage's knowledge of this, and the better they are able to move and shape it dictate how advanced their enchantments are capable of being. While Alteration imprints magical effects onto something, Substantiation creates magical properties inside of something. This means that things altered by Substantiation become inherently magical in nature. However, unless the mage is a Master Enchanter it is unlikely that they will be capable of making what one would call an Artefact. Essentially an Artefact is something that has been enchanted by Substantiation, which exerts its magical effects regardless of a wielder and without being activated intentionally. Due to the sheer skill required to make such an item, Artefacts are fairly rare.

Beyond these forms of Enchantment is a sub-type known as "Catalyst Magic." This form of magic is one, which requires a mage to acquire or craft an item. This item is known simply as a "Catalyst," and partially automates the Enchanting process. Nonetheless, the wielder is required to supply these enchantments, which are used much like spells, with ethernano for them to work. In fact, Catalyst Magic, while useful in combat, is much less efficient than a permanently enchanted item due to the Catalyst only creating temporary "pathways". This tends to make the pathways unstable, thus requiring additional use of polyphony to stabilize and strengthen their magic. As such, Catalyst magic utilizes polyphony, a rune engraved "Catalyst," and the user's own ability to manipulate ethernano to produce various effects. Some Catalyst mages engrave their Catalysts with specific runes, limiting the scope and/or amount of enchantments they can place in exchange for greater stability and power in their spells. Dornae is not one of these individuals.

_{Note: The faster a Catalyst mage creates their enchantment, the weaker or more unstable it tends to be. However, the more skilled they are, the less this weakness applies.}

Spell Scaling

The below system is how Catalyst magic's Spells are categorized in regards to the level of skill necessary and the amount of time needed to preform them. The tiers are used to describe the level of breadth₁ and amount of effects₂ or stages₃ a given spell has.

Note: Dornae is not capable of using spells above T4. A mage can mix and match traits from different Tiers_(T).

T1: Any given trait requires 2 seconds of prep.

Breadth: An AoE₄ of 1 meter or below and/or max size of a baseball.
