Technically, Seven has no limit. If Seven wanted to absorb a 40 story building, then Seven would absorb a 40 story building. The problem with that is that the time it takes for Hade's marking to spread throughout objects vary in time depending on the object's height, width, and length. For example, Seven could break down a tv in a matter of seconds but breaking down something as big as a 40 story building would take an hour at the bare minimum and that's me putting it lightly. Also, Seven has to create something within a certain time period of absorbing the mass otherwise, it'd dissipate.
The frenzied Jaguar can stay in that form forever...or for extremely long periods of time.

@xChrome Not sure if you were a fan of Ben 10 when it aired but your char feels like the combination of both Greed and Kevin 11. He seems pretty neat but having a vibranium ball with your chars ability is a definite no no. Even though his metal mimicking fades after awhile, Fergus can constantly reapply the same vibranium metal coating on him if he carries it around like an accessory. And unlike Captain America, Fergus would become nearly invincible to almost all forms of damage if his skin becomes the same material as the Captain's shield which is considered by many to almost virtually indestructible.

Affiliated Region:Germany Code Name: Seven Age(Apparent or otherwise):Appears to be in his/her young twenties Gender:???? Appearance(Image or description): Abilities:
Hade's markings: Touching stuff(Inanimate objects) with their left hand causes red lines to spread throughout it. Once these lines have spread to a certain point, they turn black before causing the object in contact with it to implode into a data like substance that is absorbed into his hand afterwards.
Materialization: After using Hade's markings, Seven seemingly materializes out of thin air whatever object he/she can think of. The object/s created cannot exceed the amount of mass accumulated from hade's markings(Basically no tanks out of a pillow etc).

@malmshodes Reila's face lit up like a kid waking up to presents on Christmas as the captain spoke. His way of speaking wasn't any different from normal, which she was greatly fond with, since normal wouldn't be a very good word to describe him. Captain Imsar was an intelligent man who pondered all that the world had to offer while being able to possess an immense amount of spiritual pressure at the same time. In short, he was a master of everything. Of course that was likely an exaggeration but the man had yet to falter in her eyes.
Captain Ismar began walking in the direction of the Squad headquarters before continuing on, triggering Reila to follow behind him closely. "It's going pretty good, all things considered...ok, I jest." A heartwarming smile appeared on her face as she gently placed her hands onto her zanpakuto. "I know things won't be peaches and cream at times but as I see it, everyday that I go without having to use "Boido no hebi" is a great day. Plus, getting the opportunity to hear you talk while being able to bask in the vibrant rays of the sun is an extraordinary event all in itself. As for that..." She stopped her line of speech before proceeding to continue. "...well even though I've been your lieutenant for quite some time, I still feel like there's things I'm still not used to yet which is both a good and bad feeling. Still, I feel that I will get used to them in time so that's not really a problem and will do Captain!!! Also, how did the meeting go?"
Reila pulled out a turquoise colored pocket-watch while waiting on the captain. The object itself wasn't special by any means but based on the tender facial expression she wore while tinking with it suggested otherwise. "I can't wait for the day when I make you run around like a beheaded snake." Reila's face darkened as each and every word left her lips. The old fashioned watch began to seemingly be crushed under the pressure of the lieutenant's hands, causing the watch to create a small but desperate scream for survival in the form of a cracking sound. This plea for Reila to halt was naturally ignored, since she was too fixated on picturing her target squealing in extremely violent ways to realize what she was actually doing.
"Oh!" He called, walking over towards to the young woman. Reila's face quickly returned to normal as her captain quickly approached. "Ryuga, funny seeing you here. Is everything alright back at the hq?" She stared blankly at him for a few seconds before nodding. "Wellllll everything is pretty much good except for some training problems. Right after you left, I began to train the rookies in combat but they don't seem to be catching onto it very well." Reila snuck her cracked pocket-watch back into her pockets as she continued. "Now I could've probably made them more familiar with our fighting techniques and workout regimen but I had paperwork, so I left it in some of the higher seated member's hands. I was going to go back the second I was done but I got word that some late entries were coming in and I figured that we could tackle it together!!! Besides, them having the opportunity to meet their captain on Day one would be quite the welcome." She noted while trying to hold in a smile.
Reila removed her hand from her father's face before entering the house. On the inside, the house was grandiose and far expansive than the already large exterior of it. It was so luxurious and vast on the inside in fact that one could mistake it for being a mansion of sorts. Most of the walls were made out of actual emerald and there was golden text on the ceiling of it, while the floor was composed of polished golden tiles with a crimson red javan tiger statue that was set in the center of it all. Though outsiders might see the text on the ceiling as simply being there for show, everyone raised in the Ryuga household knew of it's true purpose.
Reila made her way to one of the rooms without taking a moment to bask in the house's inner glory. It wasn't much of a surprise since she used to live there after all. Kicking open the door like an uncivilized brat, she walked into the room before quickly snagging something from out of it. "Just because I'm gone doesn't mean that you should be able to parade inside my room like an excited chimpanzee...but thanks for finding it father." Reila muttered lowly before disappearing from sight. She reappeared in front of the first division barracks shortly afterwards in hopes of greeting her captain on his way out from the meeting. Hopefully the man didn't shunpo away the second it ended for Reila's sake.
Reila was in her room finishing up some paperwork while the Captain was busy at a meeting. The meeting was held by the glorious captain commander and it was exclusive to the leaders of each division of the Gotei 13. Though she couldn't participate due to not meeting the necessary requirements, she couldn't help but ponder as to what they were doing. Sure it was about business matters on the outside, but what about on the inside? They could probably be getting more hammered than the average drunk soul who decides to drink their life away for all Reila knew. Of course that was unlikely the case, since the Head Captain had a serious and diligent attitude whenever he was in her presence. Luckily for Reila, she was on her last set of papers which meant that she didn't have to keep thinking about random stuff like this just to pass the time.
Reila got up from her seat with haste upon finishing all of the paperwork. Being properly dressed prior to starting her work allowed the female lieutenant to kick open the door to her room without a second thought. She faded into obscurity right afterwards, only to reappear in front of a large house within one of the Rukongai Districts. A middle aged man casually leaned on the wall beside the door to the house as if he had been awaiting her arrival.
"Reila." "Father." Reila replied while bowing before the man. "You've been snooping around searching for him again, haven't you?" "I know not of with what you speak father. But, if all you have for your beloved daughter is baseless accusations, then please excuse me." She said in an extremely polite manner as she made her way toward the house's entrance. Before she could enter however, her father grabbed hold of one of her arms. "Wait." Her eyes tilted in his direction. "Yes father?" The man's face was soaked in tears causing Reila to gently place her left hand on his cheek. "I'm sorry father for not being more considerate of your feelings but I cannot relinquish my position simply because my job is too dangerous. Besides, I won't even start to think about retiring until my blade has passed judgement on the one that brought its existence into fruition."
"I'm about this close to beating the shit out of you..." - Shows hands clasped togther -
Name: Shizukana(Shizu for short) Tora
Appearance:
Age: 24 (As age isn't clear in Bleach give a rough idea of how old they look in human years)
Gender: Female
Height: 5'7
Weight: "Do you want to know now or after I tear your ass a new one?"
Hair Colour: Refer to pic
Eye Colour: Refer to pic
Birthday:September 24th (For the novelty of it. Time moves at the same time as ours. So if it's December 20th it's the same for the RP.)
Clan/Family: None that are important enough to be mentioned as of yet. (If your character belongs to one. Canon clans must be first approved by the GM Kurisa)
Race: Soul (Likely Soul if Shinigami. To inquire about being a Vizard PM Phobos)
Rank: 3rd Seat o squad Seven
Spiritual Energy Colour: Red and Blue(Magenta while Prelude to infinity is active)
Personality(Around half of it): Originally having the mannerisms of a rabid dog, Shizu has gone through a more relaxed and mature phase. Of course it still doesn't take much for someone to get their head bashed in but rather than charging headfirst into every potential fight, she occasionally attempts to stop herself from doing so. She also tries to calm down heated scenarios from time to time as well(Though most of them end with her beating the crap out of both parties involved).
During her downtime, Shizu can be seen chatting with friends, reading tons of books, helping people, attempting to poke her head into others affairs etcetera etcetera. Being a person that started off with practically nothing made her into a person that is extremely curious of nearly everything the world has to offer. She isn't stupid by any means, in fact far from it but making a compelling proposal won't be as hard to do for her as it would be for the next.
History: Shizu is a Shinigami who was raised in the slum areas of the Rukongai districts. Living off of scraps amongst other things, she worked hard as a thief to provide for her small group as they did for her. Eventually things fell through and she was left homeless(Even to the homeless). This fall-out caused her to act drastically, which surprisingly got her adopted into her current family. During Shizu's early years with the family however, she wasn't much like her normal self. Rather than being outgoing and quick tempered, she was pessimistic and extremely delicate. This shattered state faded over time after meeting a certain someone along with a few others. As time passed, Shizo decided to enroll into the academy upon realizing that her newfound goals and aspirations intertwined with that of the Shinigami.
Relationships/Friendships/Rivalries/Siblings: Aya Oda:
Other: In Shikai form, Shizu wields her daggers in the same way Kensei Murguruma held his(Reverse ended). (Can include unique clothing items, side jobs, unique traits and such)
~Zanpakuto~
Base Zanpakuto name: Shuken No Fune(Vessel of Sovereign In English)
Shikai Name: Reitō shuken(Frozen Sovereign in English)
Bankai Name: Shukenja no ikari(Sovereign's Fury in English)
Type: Offensive/
Zanpakuto Shikai Release command: Rise to reclaim your throne, Reito Shuken!!!
Spirit Appearance(Optional):
Inner world: A world somewhat opposite of ours where the ground is made out of red and blue clouds while the sky is inhabited by floating rock.
(This gives everyone else an idea of your inner world)
Sealed appearance:
Shikai appearance:(Left is Blue and the right is red)
Bankai appearance:???? (Captains and select Lieutenants only)
Shikai special ability: Construction Swords: Simply put, Shizu can extend her daggers length up to that of the average katana and back at will. The only downside is that skills 1 - 5 cannot be activated while they're active in their elongated state.
Shikai skills: 1. Kill: Shizu causes the left half of her zanpakuto to become enormous(Imagine Kommamura's Bankai zanpakuto) in size for three turns before it reverts back to its original size. Requires the word "Koroshimasu" to be spoken for activation.
2. Pierce: Shizu causes the right half of her Zanpakuto to become as small as a pin needle in size for three turns before it reverts back to its original size. However it retains the same amount of force seen in its original form so watch out(Think Ant Man) Requires the word "Piasu" to be spoken for activation.
3. Killing Pierce: Shizu throws her zanpakuto at the target, causing it to become enormous(Imagine Kommamura's Bankai zanpakuto) the second it leaves her hand. Upon saying the correct phrase("Piasu"), the zanpakuto becomes the size of a pin needle(Works almost the same way as Skill 2). Lasts two turns.
4. Piercing Shuken: Shizu throws her zanpakuto at the target, causing it to become the size of a pin needle(Works almost the same way as Skill 2 ) the second it leaves her hand. Upon saying the correct phrase("Koroshimasu"), the zapakuto becomes enormous(Imagine Kommamura's Bankai zanpakuto). Lasts two turns and requires Prelude to Infinity to be active.
5. Shizu Launches off into the sky before crashing down with her Zanpakuto aimed downwards at the target. At anytime she can say the correct phrase("Koroshimasu"), causing it to become enormous(Imagine Kommamura's Bankai zanpakuto) which will then naturally crush anyone under her due to the sheer weight and force of her enlarged blade. Lasts 2 turns. Requires Prelude to infinity to be active.
6. Shuken no Kojin-Tekina Okurimono(Personal Gift of Sovereign): Shizu's strength increases to the point that she can lift and swing her Zanpakuto with minor difficulty(In its enlarged state). Also, the duration's of Skills 1, 4 and 5 are extended by 3 additional posts(Until the next Shikai release). Lasts three posts(Goes into a semi worn out state afterwards) but can be extended by another three posts(But passes out from the strain on her body afterwards). It can also be re-activated if it isn't extended the first time around but the second usage(Which is this one) cannot gain an extension(She also passes out afterwards). After acquiring Bankai:????
Bankai skills: (Captains and up can only have Bankai. Note: Some Lieutenants will be able to attain a Bankai) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. (Ultimate Skill)
Non-lethal Zanpakuto Skills:
Mugen e no pureryūdo(prelude to infinity): ???? melds both halves of her Zanpakuto together, transforming it completely.
Red Seeker: Her red colored eye allows her to detect her Zanpakuto(Base form) and the red half of her Shikai and Bankai counterparts from nearly anywhere. Of course she'll have to be facing the direction it's in to pick up a reading and she won't be able to detect it if it's in another realm entirely.
Blue Seeker: Her blue colored eye allows her to detect her Zanpakuto's sheath and the blue half of her Shikai and Bankai counterparts from nearly anywhere. Of course she'll have to be facing the direction it's in to pick up a reading and she won't be able to detect it if it's in another realm entirely.
(Skills that do not cause harm to an opponent)
Skills & Masteries (Note: Remember that a GM can help you with the skills as it'll likely be faster and easier)
Zanjutsu- Mastery
Kido - Proficent(Even though she's knowledgeable in it, she's rarely ever seen using any form of kido)
So even after all this, you're still complaining? Well I guess stubbornness can't be helped at the end of the day but just be prepared to accept the end result. Now moving on to the meat of my response:
<Snipped quote by Phobos>
Okay so here's the funny thing then. A number of the abilities proposed there? They're exactly the same as what I had before, except slightly rewritten. They do away with the immunities to powers that take away all character agency, which is a different can of worms given my dislike over those things, but the ability to improve perception, amplifying his sensory abilities, focusing on positioning and whatnot? It was all there already. In fact, the ability to generate a field of perception is a straight upgrade over something I was told to get rid of, because it's going from having trained senses to a legitimate localized danger sense.
And I did explain my abilities. In detail, both thematic and in application, to the same extent as many a canon power considering they're oft-defined by user personality. I did it when I replied to the first message telling me to get rid of these things you're now telling me are fine, along with defining other things such as explaining that having grit and being used enough to fighting to adapt to battlefields and being quick to react does not make for completely ignoring all damage and effects, or how I was essentially spending superpower slots to further define how my character will fight with a sword. I'm starting to think no one actually bothered to read any of that, considering it was never really addressed beyond a fun fact video I put up.
I honestly don't see what's your complaint here. According to you,"They're exactly the same as what I had before, except slightly rewritten," in response to the proposed changes in your abilities. If that was truly the case then I doubt you'd be whinin over it cause any normal person would just probably interpret that as having them nerfed in some manner. But then again, I may be wrong, cause since it's you specifically, you're going to try to scavenge around for anything that looks helpful in order to argue a case that has been long since passed.
In response to the second paragraph, you didn't explain your skills in detail, so don't make me re pull up your cs again. Scratch that:
"1. A sound mind in a sound body: Toshiro’s body is tremendously resilient against poisons, curses and the like even when they’re created as a result of an ability as powerful as a zanpakuto’s released state, while his mind and senses are all but impervious to outside interference. Illusory attacks, perception-altering techniques, attempts at psychic invasion, none of these are really effective."
Wait I thought you said you explained it in detail? Oops, I'm sorry, you're right, you did explain it in detail. But was that amount of detailed information sufficient? No. Despite the good amount of text you put down for the skill, it might as well have said "Supermman can fly" if this same amount of detail was applied to a Superman char. If you didn't realize it already, I'm saying your skills have detail, but just not in the way you meant it. Like I said in response to your char's third skill "how is that possible?". If a skill like this one requires me or any other normal person to hunt down the creator in order to properly understand it, then it's not very detailed(Unless in the rare or uncommon case it was super complex which it's not).
"Does this game operate on bias? I'm getting the feeling that it does. Zobozun was ganged up on and called a troll for defending his character concept and when he understandably got upset he was the one punished, and then he was kicked from the game for being "disruptive". I explained my abilities in detail to try and work things out, then I'm told to suck it up and just change everything. Essentially identical, if not superior, abilities are then approved when posted by another player. Is this because I didn't accept the invitation to the skype group or because I had the temerity to correct someone on what a mary sue is?
I admit a couple of my powers might have crossed the line because I'm so zealous in trying to avoid powers that take away control of a character in a setting where there's no chance of failure or mechanics to constrain them in some way, but what about the rest? Tell me again I haven't been judged unfairly when apparently 3/5 of the things I had are just fine when proposed by someone else, yet I was told to get rid of it all and the only help I received after asking for it several times came from another player."
If you think it does, then it does apparently. I guess that would explain why everybody involved wasted time out of their day to gang up on you in the form of posts like these:
"If I wanted that, I'd describe his reiatsu as average, but state it was spread out over a larger distance. Not only would this actually make his presence more faint, but it would also allow him to better detect the movement of other people through the reiatsu allowing him to better track people's actions even without being able to see them. It gives you your 360 degree field of perception (not vision), and something akin to "danger sense," without making it a zanpakuto ability, or sounding more powerful than it is.
(Trust me, I understand your situation well. I posted up Majime and while people seemed to think he was "Captain level," or OP, including yourself, I assure you that if you can close the distance, which is very possible, he's more or less screwed or has to risk hurting himself to properly defend. Putting all of your skill in one area is a risky choice, but still a viable one if done right)
Furthermore, I'd maybe write out a sample or two, exclusively for yourself, of Toshiro in combat, perhaps one fighting a ranged combatant, and one fighting someone up close. You'll get a "feel," for his Fighting Style, which will probably inform you a lot as to how this will work out for you.
Moving on. So you want to not get one shot/totally wrecked by people's various abilities? This is a slightly more difficult issue, as you've brought up, but making yourself basically immune to those abilities, while it does make people have to fight Toshiro with less ranged/elemental/energy-based means, also happens to take away a lot of agency in regards to everyone else's characters--which is why (If I understand Axel properly) you got called out for it by a GM.
What I would do is make his zanpakuto a melee/physical type, with a focus on defense. Maybe it doesn't ramp up the amount of damage he can take, or even create a shield around him, but perhaps it amplifies his sensory abilities, allowing him to better evade such attacks--though doing so will still require exceptional skill and positioning--which is his focus anyways. Conversely, you could say that it makes his body an extension of his blade, rather than his blade an extension of his body. By this I mean he might be able to deflect, parry, and block attacks as if he were a sword. It could also reduce his body's weight and/or allow him to redistribute his center of gravity.
Someone fires Byakurai at him, for example, and he could choose either to slap the flat of his blade against it, deflecting it to the side, or he might use his hand and forearm to strike it and it would cause the same effect that his blade would. Plus, a zanpakuto is typically pretty goddamn durable, so it might not make his own body as durable as someone like Mirja, or Kenpachi Zaraki, for example, but it would very well give him a better chance of defending himself against, not to mention countering, various forms of attack. You could also give him exceptional control over what "little," reiatsu/reiryoku he has, allowing him to perhaps exhale small amounts of spirtual energy or refresh his body with his internal reiryoku, to purge poisons over a set amount of time depending on the effect of the poison and its strength (how fast acting it is).
All of these, while they could be considered exceptional skills, do fall into the realm of the "average shinigami," who happens to be able to use what they have cleverly.
Hopefully some of this helps."
Wait hopefully some of this helps? Oh I get. They're ganging up on you in secret, sneaky bastards xD I mean it would make total sense for them to do so since you're implying that you're being ganged up on like Zobozun for defending your character concept just like him right? Stopping with the blatant sarcasm, you're simply looking for silly reasons to rationalize why your char won't get accepted...when you should be looking directly at the stuff in front of you(I feel like I said this twice).
<Snipped quote by Phobos> I admit a couple of my powers might have crossed the line because I'm so zealous in trying to avoid powers that take away control of a character in a setting where there's no chance of failure or mechanics to constrain them in some way, but what about the rest? Tell me again I haven't been judged unfairly when apparently 3/5 of the things I had are just fine when proposed by someone else, yet I was told to get rid of it all and the only help I received after asking for it several times came from another player.
Oh wow!!! You just gave me the magic words to hammer the nail in the coffin!!! According to what you said in the highlighted quote, you admit that some of your powers are op(Or crossed the line if we're being technical). Despite that fact, in the very beginning of this nonsense, you had a rebuttal for each and every single skill I pointed out. What does that mean? That means you can be proven wrong...even to you. Not only that but by having a zealous mindset(You said it first, not me), you're at risk of being biased in favor of your cs regardless of the facts presented against it.
Honestly, I'm starting to get annoyed by your responses. Like every single time recently, it's always you complaining and it just so happens that it's about the same exact thing. Like why? Both me and Phobos who are two gms gave you the final say, yet you are still yapping on about it? Nearly everyone who has read it and voiced their opinion agreed that your char's op. I also went as far as having your skills looked at by two retired rpers(One who trained me(Or tried at least)) that wanted to vote in your favor solely to piss me off. You know what one of them said while looking at your Yaiba skill? They was like" It's not that bad," stopped talking suddenly just to make sure he read it before saying,"What dafuq?".
"and the only help I received after asking for it several times came from another player." And don't give me or anyone that sorry excuse for help cause it was a complaint in reality.
"How do you suggest balancing out a man whose thing is being a skilled actual swordsman with the low key powerset of "can sword real good despite being unable to powerblast", without being immediately rendered moot by the people summoning reiryoku-stealing, crushing bodies of water, creating poisonous clouds and a poison-on-touch armor, summoning and controlling magical shadows etc, all of them armed with a magical weapon as well, often with a higher level of proficiency in other skills to boot over my extremely overspecialized guy. Should I just scrap it and just have a samey powerset? Let go of an actual gimmick in favor of regular lieutenant levels of power?"
You think merely because you asked a question, it's asking for help? I'm not stupid, I know exactly what asking for help is and it's surely not that. Even if that was considered asking for help, I did you with my rebuttal which was basically me saying "broaden your horizons" in order to expand your sense of creativity. Was that not sufficient for your interpretation of the word help? Well maybe you should've been more direct with what you wanted help with. Besides, I said this at the end of my last response "Also, like I mentioned, you can always ask me or one of the gms for help and we can try to provide some innovative stuff for you char." so that's on you if you didn't get the help you needed.
Though I know there's no way in hell you'll see reason in this post, I hope for your sake you do. I'm out and goodnight Zero ^-^
