[Hider=Random Zanpakuto ideas] - Shikai - Nagashi, Aobozu (Sink, Blue Priest) - Shikai skills - 1 - The blade is encapsulated in water that circulates its surface at extreme speed, this makes the water violent and capable of abrasive attacks. Whats more the water on the blade can be manipulated to almost change the shape of the blade allowing Irako to adapt to different situations. (Think Terminator 2 bad guy who is liquid metal) 2 - The water around the blade glows and sinks into the metal. Irako fights as if normal however when he strikes and cuts his opponent water shoots out from the blade violently at an incredibly high pressure ripping and tearing apart the inside of what is cut. 3 - Irako can also point his sword towards his opponent to allow a jet of water to extend from the blade. Whipping from side to side this allows a much greater range for his attacks as the water jet sharpens and is capable of cutting what he whips. - Bankai - Bankai. Kuiiruyōni Hoerutsuki, Aobozu(Final release. Devour the howling moon, Blue Priest) -Bankai Abilities - The water across the blade steams and explodes in evaporation creating a thick mist in the immediate area. Whilst in this mist Irako can control the water vapor in the most subtle way. He can create feint shapes allowing him to trick opponents, however its true ability is the manipulation of osmosis, allowing him to forcibly drain or increase the mount of water in any object that is within the mist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sai kasō min no tate (Pariah's Shield) Sai kasō min (Pariah) Akumu no ori (To weave nightmares) Arashi no kami (God of Storms) Kumon no kami (God of Affliction/Anguish) Giman no kami (God of deception) Karappohaka no kami (God of empty graves) Hai no umare (Born of Ashes) Himitsumori (Keeper of Secrets) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [U][B]Renkinjutsushi (Alchemist)[/B][/U]: Renkinjutsushi resembles a regular Katana. It's Ito (wrapping) is white with a slightly extended Tsuka (handle). The Tsuba (Guard) is a steel triangle with a moulded lotus on it. It is generally put into the Kido ability category. [U][B]Shikai:[/B][/U] Sorasu, Renkinjutsushi (Bend, Alchemist) (Ren-kin-jut-soo-shi) [B][U]Shikai Abilities:[/U][/B] Renkinjutsushi's Shikai ability is to materialize or create Electrons and force them to bond with Atoms changing an elements electrical charge. Nobunaga can charge the atoms around his sword easily, an object he stabs charges and effects the entirety of its physical boundaries. Renkinjutsushi can also target a specific area in an object to charge. For instance, one of his favorite techniques is when his blade makes contact with another he will charge the fluid used for balance encased in the inner ear. This means all the atoms in the fluid begin to repel each other, causing violent flow as it tries to expand. As well as causing pain, this leaves the opponent completely off balance until the effect stops, when Renkinjutsushi is sealed again. [B][U]Bankai Abilities:[/U][/B] Nobunaga's Bankai is a step above his Shikai, as well as letting him create Electrons he can now create Protons and Neutrons meaning he can change the atomic number of an atom completely changing it's element. This ability is bound by the same restrictions his Shikai is, meaning his sword must touch the object or a connecting object to his target. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [B][U][SIZE="3"]Shikai[/SIZE][/U][/B] [B]-[U]Name[/U]-[/B] Hoippu, Shukumeikaze (Whip, Fated-Wind) [B]-[U]Appearance[/U]-[/B] Yuto's Shikai takes the form of a Rapier sword with a shell guard protecting the pommel. [B]-[U]Abilities[/U]-[/B] Shukumeikaze is an incredibly light and thin sword, this means that Yuto has to dodge the majority of the time as he does not block with his sword. However this makes Yuto's attacks incredibly quick and near impossible to dodge if he is accurate enough. The blade is also incredibly difficult to track, Yuto is able to gently waft the blade from side to side as it's pointed towards his opponent, this creates almost an illusion effect as it looks like multiple blades appear confusing the opponent as to which one will actually strike. His sword does not do incredible amounts of damage due to it's thin blade but it is accurate and can make an opponent bleed out faster than most. Shukumeikaze however is a wind type Zanpakuto, and has abilities according to this. Utilizing the wind it can throw out blasts of razor sharp wind depending on which attack Yuto calls out. [B]1. Foil -[/B] With this command Yuto thrusts his sword forward quickly creating a small bolt of wind to shoot from the tip of the weapon, this bolt can pierce through most materials and although will not cause massive damage it will travel straight through objects. [B]2. Saber -[/B] This is a cutting attack in which Yuto whips his sword across his body, this creates a crescent blade of wind that can slice through objects as easily as a sword can. [B]3. Épée -[/B] This is one of Yuto's more dangerous techniques as it is very hard to see it coming and can throw the opponent off very easily. Normally used when he is attacked head on Yuto points his sword downwards, towards the ground as he dodges the incoming blade if he is successful he quickly flicks his sword upwards causing small spines of wind to fire up the opponents body, while these small blades do not cause a lot of damage they can completely throw the opponent off focus when the blades hit their face, cutting and slicing at their skin. Forced to shut their eyes this technique is usually followed up by quick thrusts to the opponents side and back as Yuto swings around behind his opponent. Shukumeikaze comes into it's own when Yuto uses it with his body movements, he has created a technique that he has not yet completed or perfected that utilizes his swords control of wind to help push him around incredibly quickly, almost as fast as flash step it allows his quick movements to dodge incoming attacks and leaving the opponent open for a counter even quicker than would normally be possible. He calls this technique 'Kuchigotae' meaning retort. And only uses it in dire situations. [/Hider] [Hider=Poison Zanpakuto] - Zanpakuto - [Center][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iiPl9mR.png[/IMG][/Center] - [b]Shikai[/b] - Gyokaku, Buraindosasori (Catch, Blind Scorpion) (Boo-ra-een-dow-sass-ori) Slowly moving his hand across the length of Buraindosasori begins it's release, extremely loud tower bells can be heard by all in the vicinity of his reiatsu before Hideyoshi's Zanpakuto shifts from it's bright white form into a new shape. Now appearing to be a small single handed sickle with a curved blade flowing into a light wood handle. Buraindosasori is a unique Zanpakuto in as much that it's primarily a poison type Zanpakuto. The poison which is known to be an incredibly thin layer of liquid that cotes the blades edges is secreted over time by the swords metal itself, allowing it to replenish and to deliver higher doses the more strikes are landed. The potent toxin has three stages in its shikai state and each can be attained in succession by striking the opponent more. - Kanken (First Sting) - Kanken is the worrying but ultimately harmless first stage of the toxic effects, a single strike would be enough. The victim will find that they begin to ever so slightly slur their speech and when the increase in adrenaline begins, as it does in battle, they could start to see double. This does no harm to the opponents but it benefits Irako greatly, with the quick nature of Buraindosasori's attacks they will inevitably struggle to cope thus resulting in more attacks landed. It has also been known that if the victim allows the poison to settle for too long it can prevent speech all together. - Nibanken (Second Sting) - The second stage of Buraindosasori's poison is much more potent, brought about once the victim has suffered multiple strikes. Weakness of limbs and at times excruciating muscle cramps are the prominent feature of Nibanken whilst slower reactions have also been a noted effect. This is an more severe attack on the victims body allowing Hideyoshi to abuse their weakened state and attack quickly and precisely. Making battle a very arduous and exhausting task it can sometimes distract and even prevent the victim from fighting back as, in bad cases, the toxin will take effect more prominently when the afflicted exerts a large amount effort or strength. The harder the opponent works the quicker the poison will travel in the bloodstream. Whilst it takes a long time this does mean the victim can excel the poison himself through action rather than Genji having to land more strikes. The stronger and larger the victim, the worse the effects will be. - Sanbanken (Third Sting) - The agent works by inhibiting the production of an enzyme in the nerves, resulting in constant activity, a ‘storm’ in the nervous system that quickly overwhelms the body. A highly lethal anticoagulant, broadifacoum works by reducing the amount of Vitamin K in the blood. Since Vitamin K is needed in the clotting process, eventually the body becomes subject to massive internal hemorrhaging, blood leaking from the smallest vessels. - Bankai - - Chishiken (Fatal Sting) - This is Buraindosasori's Cout-de-gras and has an utterly terrifying effect which Hideyoshi likes to explain as it takes hold: "Our brains come equipped with a self-preservation mechanism that stops us doing stupid things that we know will harm us. This is because of electrochemical signals in the brain sent by neurotransmitters among other things. The toxin Buraindosasori secretes however blocks specific neurotransmitters, in a specific order, which flips your brains preservation switch. Some poisons have the ability to cause hallucinations, some asphyxiation and I've even heard of ones that completely paralyze the victim. Buraindosasori though, simply put, makes you want to kill yourself." [/Hider]
