Name: Takeda Kiyomasa Alias/Nickname/s: Gender: Male True Age: 1820 Appearance Age: 28 Race: Visored Rank: Elite Captain Division: Ex-5th Divison History: Takeda life was well, one could say an eccentric one, his birth and childhood seemed to be the most average of his entire life and even then it was abnormal. Takeda's parents met in their late 30's since back then the average age to settle down get married and have kids was 30 younger then that would just lead to hardship and disappointment in the end. Takeda's parents had such a connection they seemed almost inseparable. His dad was Head of a Task Force while his mother was a CPA for the Government they were both rather successful to say the least. Whenever they both had time off they would spend it with each other and their romance took off. Getting closer to his 40's his dad had been thinking about retiring from his impeccable career at the Head of the task force, he had solved over hundreds of cases and brought in criminals from petty thief's to big time assailants. His father had been the example role model amongst police, it would be sad to see him leave but the benefits provided for him to live on die and provide for any children he had thought to bring up. Meanwhile his mom was one of few CPA enlisted by the government she managed income statements, portfolios, transactions, you name it she had it covered. She had to that was her job if the Government found out she had made a mistake it would deeply hurt the Government and would take a long grueling process to fix. She always came from work tired, but it had to be done the money was good but was it still worth it after these long years. His mother wasn't far from his father’s age only a two year difference. Years passed by and Takeda's father had finally retired from the Task Force leaving his many friends behind him and now living off his retirement fund, social security, and pension. Takeda's mother also took this time to retire from her job receiving perks from being a government official as well. Together they would live a lavish life not having to worry about money like many that faced poverty and struggled to make ends meet, it actually made them feel bad that they were so complacent. By now Takeda's mom had been thinking and contemplating having a child, but she hadn't shown it which intern made his father frantic about what was wrong with his mother. Finally she came out to his father about wanting a child. Surprised Takeda's father simply reacted by wishing to have a kid since long ago. So one fateful night the two conceived a child and his mother began her journey in what people called pregnancy. The next months would prove to be harder the two experienced before, Takeda's father secretly wished for a son that he could rise into a perfect mold of his model son. While his mother didn't care what gender the baby was she was just ecstatic to be able to have one. After the first couple of months the two were finally able to possess a sonogram in which they could finally discover the gender of the child. The Doctor relayed the information, it was going to be a boy, the father was short from happy he was absolutely delighted, both parents embraced each other and counted down the days that their beautiful son would appear out of the womb. It was time for the preparations they had endured quite a lot now his mother lay on her back sweating, screaming, and breathing heavily. His dad couldn't help but to watch the miracle of life right before his eyes. It took a few hours but finally Takeda was born, crying he was brought in a towel to his mother and father where they both smiled and watched their child blossom. When it was finally time to take him home his parents automatically devoted all their time to raising Takeda. They feed him, cleaned him, and bathed him. They taught him his first words watched him take his first steps and celebrated his birthday each year. Though there was something special about Takeda that his parents hadn't known, he was able to see spirits unlike most humans. When Takeda was at the age of three his parents began to teach him privately, teaching him how to read at a beginner level instead of over protective parents who showed picture books and the ones that popped out, they also taught him numbers which started from 1-10 and over time increased to 50. Years passed by and Takeda had been enrolled in the local school he was in first grade, the teachers were surprised at how much he knew for such a young age, he was talented further than any of the children who were in his class room. Takeda quickly accelerated in school quickly finishing up elementary school and moving into middle school. Again his teachers adored the knowledge and intelligence that he possessed, but he wasn't sold short his parents were to congratulate they were significant people and were equally intellectual. After middle school Takeda was put into Advanced Placement classes in high school quickly surpassing the lower leveled courses taught to the average student. Takeda soon approached his senior year graduating early and be recognized at graduation as Valedictorian. Though studying was not all that Takeda did in his off time oh no his intuition was natural talent. Takeda's father taught him the ins and outs of what he learned when he was his son's age at the Police academy and then the upper echelon's when he graduated to the Task Force. Takeda took in everything his father taught him becoming very versatile, he possessed the dexterity and agility his father had once possessed. He became a good tactician and a marksman at that. On the other side he worked on numbers with his mother and learned to take care of himself financially. Takeda wasn't now just the nerdy smart kid in class, but the kid who could kick ass. He led by example by dominating anyone who stepped up to him thinking they could force Takeda to do their work for them or simply bully him around. No he could thank his father for that he was an expert on hand to hand combat easily putting a bully in his place. Takeda did pick up one unhealthy habit that he was ashamed of, he became a smoker, and he smoked a cigarette each week which stockpiled into a pack a week which then escalated into 3 packs a week. His habit was unhealthy but it was his price to the contract he possessed of having such mental and physical knowledge. Remember when Takeda could see spirits as a child? Well it finally caught up with him. After finishing up college he returned home and lived with his parents for a couple of years before going to pursue his career path, it wouldn't be hard since he had such astonishing credentials. As the days passed Takeda grew more wary of the spirits he could see, but they weren't any regular spirits they were hollows, yet Takeda with all his smarts couldn't figure out. To him they were ravenous monsters who killed humans and devoured them for fun. Takeda then realized his one true fear; though he hoped it would never be him that was faced with a Hollow otherwise he would be defenseless. The first time ever, where he couldn't do anything to help, simply just watch. And so it happened almost as if he jinxed himself. One day while walking back home from groceries cigarette in hand he stopped by the smell of smoke, not from his lit cigarette, no it was the fire of a nearby house. Takeda dropped his bag of groceries the eggs cracking from the impact, and he ran he ran as fast as his aerodynamic body could take. When he reached his block he saw a massive hollow crushing and pulverizing what was left of his house. Takeda's heart sank to his stomach not knowing what to do or how to go about it. He was in the first time of his life defenseless, quickly entering the house without being noticed he looked high and low for his parents. That's when it hit him, the bodies or what was left of them was looking back at Takeda straight into his soul. The scene was hard to grasp, Takeda needed to get out fast or else he would share the same fate. Disoriented and in shock he grabbed his father’s handgun and ran outside coughing from the smoke he had inhaled. Takeda took point and looked at the hollow “Over here Mother Fucker!!” he shouted getting the Hollows attention. The hollow laughed and cranked his arm backwards aiming for a punch, Takeda looked down his sight and fired bullet after bullet eventually running out of his clip, but there was no extra ammunition he was good as done. The hollow on the other hand seemed to be perfectly fine the bullets hadn't penetrated or even affected it in the slightest. With the fully charged fist the hollow cocked it forward slamming Takeda's body under the hollow's massive fist crushing Takeda in one foul swoop. Looking at the fist Takeda couldn't move he didn't want to move his light quickly flashed before his eyes remembering all the happy times he had with his family as a kid to now and how all the teachers and professors he met became friends with him and treated him with the utmost respect, he was exalted, but now he was dead. With the impact his eyes dilated his final breathe leaving his body, the blood spurting out of his mouth. His motionless body lay there that was the end of Takeda. Fortunately for him Takeda had a strong soul and had made it to the spirit world. It was weird for Takeda at first, he had been reborn into himself again, but not a human and nor dead, it was an eerie feeling yet he learned how to cope with it through the following years. Living as a soul was bumpy at first this world was much different than the human world and he wasn't wealthy in this society oh no he was in the poverty he wore ragged clothes and he had lost his sanitation. Takeda didn't lose his aspirations though he focused on his body and continued to keep it in shape as he did when he was alive; he worked for what he needed. Takeda found a steady job and had income while he managed it nicely he became better suited. Now he took showers and wore simple clothes nothing flashy and he was able to have a meal instead of being starved of one or resorting to killing vermin. Just as it seemed to be getting better for Takeda it took a turn for the worse. A band of thieves had been tracking him for quite a while they had learned his schedule and his habits and finally they formed a plan to strike and rob him of all he was worth. It was night when they struck Takeda had been walking home at the dead of night when he encountered a group of men which quickly surrounded him. Takeda sighed and took his stance before they assaulted him, the thugs hadn't known he was skilled in combat which gave Takeda a sense of pride, but that was quickly diminished. They brought out weapons and more of them showed, Takeda had the same fear he had when the hollow attacked him, defenseless. They bombarded him with attacks; Takeda was getting his ass handed to him by a couple of small time thugs. Then Takeda began to speak first a quiet whisper “Stop...” then a monotone pitch “Stop...” now regular ambiance “Stop..” and now a large roar “STOP!!!!!!!!!!” with that a jet of white light erupted from him. Takeda whip lashed and the thugs were knocked away getting thrown against the walls that surrounded them. Takeda was breathing heavy the anger in his mind; he looked at his hands which were glowing with a white aura. What was this? What was this new found power? What did he do to the thugs? Questions flooded him like a riptide hitting a rock. Takeda limped home still looking down at his hands. With the next years Takeda had studied his power and searched high and low for any information that could lead him in the right direction, in the meantime Takeda used the anger he felt that one day and tapped into it allowing him to reactivate the white aura that had appeared that fateful day. Over the course of his investigation he mastered his aura being able to connect with it like it was a living organisms that was part of Takeda it felt good. Then finally his investigation had a break through there was something in the spirit world know as Soul Society which housed the Gotei 13. Takeda curious enrolled in the academy becoming a seated officer. The Gotei 13 was a totally new experience that he had never experienced before there was the Captain Commander and his division of captains. Admiration came to his mind when he was first introduced to the Gotei 13 he would one day be one of those captains. As for now he was given a plain sword and was taught Shunpo, Kidō, Hoho the basics. And that's when he learned what the magical white force was, it was his Reiatsu. Takeda learned as much as he could like he had when he was studying in high school and in college. He practiced each of his skills precisely until he mastered them, his favorite activities were hand to hand and Shunpo those two were what he excelled at. Graduation day had come and he was one the highest ranked seats in the barracks being an exceptional student. Then fate gave Takeda a second chance the Captain of the Fifth Division had been looking for a worthy recruit to become his new Vice Captain, Takeda prayed and waited to see who he would acknowledge and pick to be his new subordinate. Moments later the Captain of the 5th Division picked Takeda, overwhelmed with joy he smiled bashfully at his new captain. Takeda was moving up in the world and now he was just one step closer to becoming a Captain, if his parents knew they would have been so proud of him. The next few years of his life were inspiring and treacherous, His Captain trained him to the tee, but Takeda loved every second of it. Takeda grew attached to his captain and his Captain grew fond of Takeda almost like a Father Son relationship. He was Takeda's second father, he had given him his Zanpakuto had taught him to further his Shunpo and had shown him the ropes to early stages of Kidō both Bakudo and Hakudo. Takeda couldn't be any happier, they often laughed together told reminiscent stories from when they were alive and had gotten drunk together. The good thing about being a soul is cigarettes had no aftermath on your body that was sure of a perk for Takeda. Training day came, Today Takeda would be taught how to effectively use his Zanpakuto and learn to use Shikai. Takeda was nervous the sweat beads slowly slid off his face, Releasing Shikai was going to be hard worse than anything he had ever faced before. Takeda wasn't ready for what was in store he quickly light a cigarette to cool his nerves, with his courage now intact he could face his Captain. The training started off fast paced his captain wasn't going easy on him, he followed him like a vulture on a dead carcass moving with Takeda and slashing at him with every opportunity he got. Takeda kept flash stepping and blocking with his sword. Groans of pain were let out of his mouth as he was on the defensive side. His captain spoke “Come on Takeda believe in yourself and prove me wrong release your Shikai I know you can do it, I believe in you, I won’t be afraid to kill you if you fail!!!” Takeda's nerves shook as they slapped him in the face. Takeda had to face reality, but how? How could he release Shikai? He needed to fast or else he was as good as dead. The hit were hitting closer to home, the blood crept its crimson face onto Takeda's body he was going to die this was it. That's when his memory flash backed to the hollow killing his parents and the thug's beating him up for his money. “I won’t give up!!! Forgive me Father for I have Sinned, Genkaku Hikigane!”” the name of his blade. His Zanpakuto engulfed the whole area; the ground below them began to shake as the white aura once again coated Takeda and exploded furiously. The captain was shocked at his Vice Captain but then a smile crept on his face. In his mind he thought “There you go Takeda I knew you could do it” Takeda was spewing out smoke from his body he was familiar with smoke matter of fact he breathed it in every day since he was alive. But something was different he could feel a toxin within the smoke but it was invisible to his opponent’s, just as he finally figured his Shikai out he began to lose consciousness before he could collapse all that could be heard was “I did it....I did it...Did you see Capt..” a loud thump bellowed and the smoke reformed into his Zanpakuto. The captain smiled and picked up Takeda returning to the headquarters. Takeda awoke he was bandaged up from the head down, his awakening was sudden and the nurses rushed him trying to warn him to stay calm. Takeda felt fine he had no pain in him it was weird had they given him painkillers. With a questioned look on his face his Captain had appeared throwing Takeda his clothes. “They patched you up with Kidō” Takeda looked dumbfounded” Kidō they healed me with Kidō?” “No wonder why I feel 100%, so what's on the schedule today master?” The captain laughed “Well today I'm going on a mission by myself I want you to stay you’re not healed a 100% and I can handle this on my own” with a sigh and a whinny pitch Takeda muffled “Aw man you always have the fun, I'm fin-” before he could say fine a jolt of pain hit him. Takeda cringed and his Captain laughed “See what I mean, I can't have you tagging along when you’re not fully rested I wouldn't want to lose you Takeda, Well I'll be back you get some rest and work on your Shikai some more” Takeda felt his heart beating through his whole body, ”I don't want to lose you..” his Captain really did love him like a son. Takeda looked away as to not show his Captain his embarrassment “Alright get out of here, make sure to come back safe or else I'll kick your ass!!” His Captain chuckled and left. Little did Takeda know that would be the last thing he would hear from his Captain that day. Waking up the next morning he ripped off his bandages and walked outside from there he unsheathed his Zanpakuto and began to psyche himself up, with a calm breathe in he quickly exhaled murmuring the name of his Zanpakuto and its release command. “A white light appeared all around him and his black katana which quickly erupted into two pistols in each of his hands. The whole day he trained learning to change his body into smoke and excrete smoke from his mouth and ears and wherever he could excrete smoke. And then he focused on creating the toxin and releasing it into his smoke. Takeda pushed his body to his limits putting a large abundance of stress on himself “I have to get stronger...” he said before collapsing yet again. Waking up in the medical division again he went outside and continued to perform his Shikai, this went on for several days. Takeda wanted to show his Captain his full capabilities upon arrival maybe then he would show him Bankai, though he didn't keep his hopes up and quickly went back to focusing on his Shikai. With each passing day he grew stronger, faster, smarter he was able to perform his Shikai's abilities in a fraction of a second and had increased his stay in Shikai to insane amounts of time. The look of dedication on his face was something to admire. Finally he had mastered the art of Shikai, and now he could finally rest without worrying. Or so he thought, he woke up again the next day in the medical Division and quickly got dressed since today was the date his Captain would arrive. Takeda waited and waited for his Captain to show, everyone around him looked sad and depressed, Takeda was curious to see why everyone was so miserable, everyone who he had asked turned away or left in tears. Takeda began to put the pieces together “No.....” he said. The overcast sky turned to black clouds which then began to pour rain over Takeda. Takeda began to cry his Captain his Second Father wasn't coming back. He was brought to his knees his head lowered, he clenched his fist till they bled and he slammed them against the ground screaming “Why!!!?!?!” Takeda was left in the fetal position outside in the pouring rain. Memories of his Captain's smile ran through his head and of all the good times he had with him. Fate was cruel to Takeda but why what has he ever done to deserve something like this. The Captain Commander appeared next to Takeda who had been sulking in the rain, the Commander didn't look at Takeda but simply talked “I'm sorry to bring you the news of your Captain, he was an exceptional Captain and an exceptional being, he would have wanted you to take his place as Captain of the fifth squad, we will have the funeral tomorrow” Takeda was taken back at the Commander's final words. ”He would have wanted you to take his place...” it seemed the Captain did care for him even after death. With the following morning Soul Society had grieved over the loss of one of their best and Takeda spoke for the Captain at his funeral. Now Takeda morphed into a different person he rarely spoke to many and he kept to himself. With the following years Takeda grew into his position as Captain of the 5th Division quickly being noted by his pupils as a model of true perseverance and responsibility. Those were all just empty words to Takeda his real purpose was to train even harder to make his former Captain proud. Takeda began his ritualistic training again but this time with his Bankai, at this time he didn't sleep or eat but focus on unlocking his true potential, it’s what his master would have wanted. Takeda showed no sign of giving up but he couldn't seem to unlock Bankai no matter what he tried. Takeda was out of breathe and tears began to roll down his eyes they hit the hilt of his blade. Takeda could only think of his Captain. As the memories balled up inside of him he gripped his Shikai with all his might trembling in place. “I'll do it for you Master!!” Takeda shouted as his silver white aura enveloped him and his Shikai changed. He'd done it he unlocked his Bankai he stood there with a massive scythe on his shoulders and the same familiar smoke he had come to love. Takeda cried in happiness looking at the sky looking to see if his Captain was watching, it began to rain again but Takeda didn't care he welcomed the rain he took it as a sign of his Captain crying with him. Takeda laughed and cried this was his greatest achievement yet. Now he had fulfilled his dream of becoming a Captain and being a proud part of the Gotei 13. Years passed and Takeda was revered as a captain, he went on many missions’ the Captain Commander put him on and completed them with ease. He had fully mastered his Bankai and could easily hold it for an impossible amount of time almost for eternity. Takeda had perfected his Shunpo he was one of or the fastest shinigami in the Gotei 13. His hand to hand was perfected and his Kidō wasn't that bad, he truly did excel in what he did. Takeda had become the person he once was, happy, friendly, a good person. He was no longer sad because he had his Captain in his Heart. The Gotei 13 was relaxed and a new member had joined the ranks his name was Kazuma an exceptional soul to join their leagues, Takeda thought he would go far in the Gotei 13 just as he did. Takeda was sent on a mission by the Captain Commander again fate had a funny way of coming back to haunt Takeda. On his mission Takeda had to confront a hollow that had been consuming the souls of many innocent humans. Takeda thought nothing of it until he was confronted with the Hollow, Takeda's heart beat skipped and the fear was gently applied to his face. The hollow was the one that killed his family and killed him when he tried defending them. The hollow stopped and looked at Takeda with a devilish smile. Takeda grew furious releasing his Bankai and causing an eruption in spiritual pressure causing cataclysmic effects on the human world’s environment. In a blind rage Takeda lashed out at the Hollow slicing it to shreds until there was nothing but chunks left. Takeda regained control looking at the devastation he caused he looked at the disemboweled hollow and took piece of it to save as a memory. When he returned to Soul Society he was quickly yelled at by the Captain Commander for his irresponsible performance, since it was his first offense he wasn't punished. That night Takeda began to research the piece of the hollow he had saved and began studying up on hollows. Takeda ignored the cuts and injuries he had from the battle with the hollow and focused on the segment of hollow, what he didn't realize was the hollow began to fuse with the lacerations he had on his hands and forearms Takeda became startled and alarmed trying to stop the hollow from fusing with him. Thought it was too late the infection began to spread the process of Hollowfication began to reproduce inside his body. Screaming he began to think of his Captain and his Parents, but that had a negative effect the infection began to spread quicker by the flare of his emotions. He started throwing up white hollow matter which began forming on his face into what seemed to be a mask. Takeda clawed at his face touching his mask, though to no avail the mask continued to form and wouldn't cease. Takeda began to fade he was losing consciousness. The he saw feet in front of him someone had come into his room Takeda looked up but couldn't make out a face since it was covered in shadows though he saw long black hair with a red streak that glistened in the moon's light. The figure possessed something it had its own illumination and it was small/compact. The figure stepped closer and pressed the illuminated object into his body. Takeda's eyes flared but then he fell unconscious. The next day he woke up startled wondering if last night was nothing more than a nightmare. He reached up to touch his face and felt a mask on his face that had been completed, he wasn't dead and it wasn't a dream, how could this be. Without chance to think his room was stormed by Gotei 13 guards which barricaded him and bounded him in chains. Takeda had been brought up on charges of experimenting with Hollowfication and was sent to be executed. His fate was sealed and it wasn't even his fault; he had no say so fighting was useless. His life seemed useless up until this point he had let down everyone he loved. Suddenly a flash of light erupted in front of him taking out the guards in front of him. Scared Takeda looked to see who had been saving him. It was his.....Captain..... He wasn't dead Takeda couldn't comprehend anything now was he dreaming again or was this reality. His captain quickly broke the chains and shook Takeda and stared him straight in the eye. “Sorry for lying to you all these years I never wanted this to happen, but I needed to research some things and I know who did this to you, but for now you must go I'll catch up with you in a couple of years, remember I'm always watching.” with that his captain created a Senkai Gate and disappeared yet again. How could Takeda absorb all of this at once, frantically he looked around and fled into the Gate his Captain had created. Jumping through he landed on the other side which was the Human world specifically Karakura Town. Takeda sat and looked into space for hours upon hours, he recollected what just happened to him in the past day, he became a hollow was exiled and sent to be executed and then saved by his pronounced dead Captain. What was going on, all he knew was his captain said he would come back and tell him the truth. That's all he needed he was happy just knowing his Captain was alive and well and that he saved Takeda from his horrible fate, he would enjoy that one day they would meet again. Over the approximate years Takeda would learn to control his inner hollow and freely used his new Hollowfied powers. This overwhelming power felt new and unlike anything he felt before, his skills changed in fact they increased tenfold even more, his strength was raised his speed was raised and he could use hollow powers more widely known as a cero. Takeda trained like he had with his Bankai and his Shikai but this time he didn't need to think of remnants or be inspired by emotions no he could train with fun. Takeda enjoyed being a Visored he had worked his butt off and could now use his Mask whenever and increase his potential. Takeda mastered his Visored powers like he did with any other thing he set his mind too he seemed unbeatable nothing could stop him now. Now he would wait for fate to catch up with him one last time and confront his Teacher, his Father, and his Captain. And figure out who and what did this to him and maybe one day seeks his revenge..... Personality: Takeda is an easy going guy, he’s nice to almost everybody and usually easy to befriend. Takeda style is being mellow and somewhat lazy when it comes to not fighting. He doesn’t speak much besides advice or tactics he’s going to use. Takeda just sits around quiet daydreaming about whatever pops into his head. In battle Takeda form a level headed persona and is very strict with himself and his opponent he doesn’t judge upon looks, he honor’s fights and goes to the end with them even if it means his death. Takeda is a balanced person using his smarts and his brawn. He’s a take from both worlds.

Jades is completely apathetic and undiplomatic, the only real thing she has going for her is her sex appeal, brute force, and coercion. Jade is the perfect balance to Takeda because unlike him witty, intelligent, and humble she’s the complete opposite. The perfect yin to her yang, the main difference between them is the fact Jade is a merciless natural born killer willing to blow a hole through anyone’s head executioner style. Jade can also be very blunt, using foul language and violence to get her point across. Besides getting off on killing Jade has developed a rather bleak, almost nihilistic outlook on life, relying only on Takeda to guide her with her carefree live fast die young attitude.

Upon making eye contact with the opponent the user shifts their eyes to the trance like state their Shikai allows them to enter. When the opponent looks into the foggy white eyes they are lost in whatever they are performing while they are mesmerized by the fog in the user’s eye. After making contact the user can distort the opponents mind, the opponent believes they are still fighting the user, but their future begins to alter. This can be used to either trick the opponent into thinking they’re dead or alter their future for example returning to their village to realize it’s been destroyed. The longer and the more Reiatsu funneled through the technique without interruption the longer the opponents altered future will remain. Weakness: Requires Eye Contact. ==================== Name of Technique: Slow Motion Description: The user take’s their bare hands and creates a very loud clap that creates small vibrations. One the sound has been administered by the opponent it can slow down the opponent’s perception of time. It is able to make one second seem like 100 years for the unfortunate victim to whom it is administered. The more Reiatsu applied constitutes the amount of time the opponent’s sense is slowed. A powerful enough surge of reiatsu however causes the senses to speed up trillions of times while the relatively "slow" body fails to keep up, resulting in paralysis. Weakness: Lasts two posts, easy to notice. ==================== Name of Technique: Fast Forward Description: Unlike Slow Motion the user activates their Senkan and creates a supplementary effect of slow motion to themselves. Instead of slowing down their perception the user speeds it up being able to perceive time and movement quicker increasing the effects on their perception. Basic Reiatsu simply allows the user to see their environment in high speeds able to easily dodge or counter an opponent’s attack. Above average reiatsu allows the user to develop a sixth sense allowing them to pick sense danger before it happens or sense themselves being placed under an Illusion (E.G. Spidey Senses). Finally a surge of reiatsu pushes the boundaries of perceptive sense and allows the user to visualize events two seconds beyond current time. Weakness: The surge lasts one post and causes severe strain. ==================== Name of Technique: Fortune Teller Description: A simple jutsu not meant for offensive or defensive purposes, the user simply takes the hand of anyone who he/she comes into contact to and is immediately teleported into their trance. Upon touching hands the user is intertwined with the other persons past, present, and future. This allows them to gain access to their memories and able to see their future. Weakness: N/A ==================== Name of Technique: Rewind Description: The way this Illusion is produced is quite profound, the user is able to adjust their vocal chords to produce and mimic the sound of a tape recorder going in reverse rapidly. Once the opponent has heard the strange repercussion of a video they are lured into the special Illusion. This Illusion triggers the opponent to believe they are being rewinded into the past, for example if the opponent shoots a fireball at the user and then is trapped in the Illusion it would have seemed as if they never shot the fireball at all. This is especially effective is the user slashes or removes a limb from the opponent and then produces the Illusion leading them to believe there arm was never cut. Weakness: Easy to detect. ==================== Name of Technique: Stop Description: Breathing heavily the user makes use of their diaphragm in order to release a blood curdling high pitched scream in the audible word of “Stop!” When they hear is heard the Illusion is triggered. The user takes form of a banshee continuing to make a deafening piercing hollow that causes the user to cup their ears in pain distorting their vision and destroying their eardrums. The second effect to the Illusion is that is freezes the enemy into place as though they died and rigor mortis is setting in where their muscles begin to stiffen until they cannot move. Weakness: Can break the Illusion when they are able to move. ==================================================================== Bankai Name: Genkaku Hikigane (Illusion Trigger) Release Command: “Forgive me Father for I have Sinned, Genkaku Hikigane!” Control: Mastered Weapon Appearance: [img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/058/e/f/EBONY_and_IVORY_DEVIL_MAY_CRY_by_Kadza_Neon.jpg[/img] Physical Appearance: Ebony & Ivory are Takeda’s trademark pair of personally customized semi-automatic pistols. In a world of Katana’s and Kido, Takeda has created and perfected an unorthodox weapon to combat said weapons. These weapons known as ‘pistols’ are the first of their kind and are a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets are propelled by explosive force. The first of their breed Takeda’s pistols are especially designed to rapidly fire bullets instilled with powerful reiastu and illusions. The right, white gun, Ivory, was custom built for rapid firing and fast draw times, while the left, black gun, Ebony, has been modified for long-distance targeting and comfort. These pistols can shot concentrated balls of reiatsu that act identical to bullets, these also allow award him the privilege of not having to reload actual bullets, but Takeda carries a few live cartridges. Abilities: [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Nekkishika Dagan (Heat Seeking Bullet) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda’s trademark bullet, when fired the bullet carries a small inscribed seal on the nose of the bullet designed not to kill or puncture the target, but like a paint ball creates a mark (in this case a seal) on the target with a slight sting. Once the seal is implanted onto the target Takeda simply need not aim for the target but shot in any direction. The bullets will then lock onto the seal placed on the target and switch trajectory to the seal. [b]Weakness:[/b] Only carries 5 Homing bullets. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Dai kōkei (High Caliber) [b]Description:[/b] The user super-charges a single shot, and then creates two conditions for his bullet. Takeda can either leave the shot in its high caliber state, which allows it to pierce through rivaled strength shields or defense, or he can split the bullet into dozens of smaller lighter caliber bullets. When the shot is fired upwards it splits into dozens of regular shots and rains down onto the target in a 10 meter radius. [b]Weakness:[/b] 3 High Caliber Bullets. Can't change trajectory. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Bakudan Dagan (Bomb Bullet) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda takes his gun(s) and fires a shot into the ground where it lays dormant. This shot of course is planned ahead for when Takeda dictates it or when the target steps on the position of the discharged bullet, it will acts as a bomb, exploding upwards consuming the opponent. [b]Weakness:[/b] N/A ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Kyūshūtama (Absorption Shot) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda imprints the explosive tag seal onto his bullet serving as the first part of his technique. The second part is a shot that sticks into the target, once inside the shot continually drains Reiatsu from the source. After draining a max of fifteen percent of the target’s total Reiatsu, after a complete time frame of 6 posts, the shot explodes. The more Reiatsu drained, the larger the explosion. [b]Weakness:[/b] Can be dug out from the body. 2 Draining bullets. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Nekomutama (Sleep Shot) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda has honed the ability to infuse his Illusions Reiatsu into his Reiatsu bullets effectively allowing him to channel his Illusions through his bullets. The first of his Illusions bullet abilities is his sleeping shot. When the target is hit with one or multiple Reiatsu bullets they feel the effect of the Illusions. These bullets serve as a tranquilizer used on animals, but instead of needles the Reiatsu bullets put the target in a deep slumber. The more Reiatsu bullets inflicted the faster they succumb to the effects. [b]Weakness:[/b] His Illusions bullets cause no physical damage. Lieutenants and above can break the illusion. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Hitosawagase (False Alaram) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda’s most sinister creations, this bullet is comprised of two seals. When shot if the bullet misses or is miss-fired on purpose the first seal activates shedding the outer shell of the bullet. The bullet that was fired was meant as a fake to persuade the enemy into thinking Takeda had missed. When the shell is shed it reveals another bullet faced in the opposite direction. The second seal activates and expels a large force of wind which fires the second bullet towards the enemy allowing for a backwards shot. [b]Weakness:[/b] The second seal requires Takeda to form to channel Reiatsu. 3 post cool down. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Nebaitama (Sticky Shot) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda’s sole demolition bullet, the bullet contains a specially made black liquid. When the shot makes contact the bullet will explode into a black adhesive sticky black tar like substance. It overtakes whichever limb or part of the body it hits and expands around said surface. The adhesive then bubbles and grows in size and traps whatever it has been attached to. [b]Weakness:[/b] When the tar hardens it can be easily broken. 2 posts to harden. 1 adhesive bullet. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Hayauchi (Quick Draw) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda has created two permanent seals on each of his palms that resemble the sun and the moon. These seals were specially constructed in order to remove the lag time of drawing his weapons. In addition to drawing his normal pistols it also allows Takeda to summon his pistols in case he is disarmed. The seals automatically teleport his pistols to his hands on command. [b]Weakness:[/b] If the seals are scarred or cut the seals are broken. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Stellate Shot [b]Description:[/b] Takeda fires a special bullet that has a seal embedded on the nose of the bullet with a cross shaped seal. If the bullet strikes the target directly on the forehead a large x shaped seal is placed on the forehead and upon impact the Illusions starts. Normally a [url=http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f106/MedFX_photos/stellate-wound-forehead.jpg]stellate shot[/url] is when a firearm is placed directly on the forehead and shot from that position. The gases expelled by the firearm causes the gas causing the discharge to move the skin passing the skins elasticity until it begins to tear into the cruciform shape. This process is however experienced as the Illusions, the target believes that their forehead is tearing and the bullet is working its way through the skull, however they are perfectly fine. [b]Weakness:[/b] Needs to make contact with the forehead. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Kurushimi Dagan (Pain Shot) [b]Description:[/b] Takeda pours his Reiatsu into his Reiatsu bullets to create his next Illusion. Takeda fires a barrage of bullets at the target and when hit the Illusion begins. When the bullets hit the target the target believes that they are actually getting shot by the bullet causing pain and a break in stamina. However the Reiatsu bullets don’t puncture the targets body or even creates a single scratch on the target. The illusion allows the Reiatsu bullets to cause the sensation of being shot by directly striking the target's sense of pain instead of actually shooting them. [b]Weakness:[/b] Does not create wounds which can dictate the presence of Illusions. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Kankaku Rinku (Sensory Link) [b]Description:[/b] One of Takeda’s most prominent techniques, Takeda loads two special bullets marked with a heart on the nose of each bullet, loaded into each barrel. This technique is only used when there are multiple targets. When the bullets hit the designated target they grow a link connecting each other’s senses symbolized by a heart on the wrist. When one person is injured or hit with an attack the person linked with them feels the exact same sensation of pain in the exact same position they were injured in. [b]Weakness:[/b] Enough Reiatsu can break the seal. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Flare Shot [b]Description:[/b] Takeda channels his Reiatsu through his pistols and fire two shots that mold together to form one big bullet. Instead of hitting the target the bullet explodes violently into an extremely bright light that blinds the opponent. Upon seeing the light the target is subjugated to Takeda’s Illusions. While the opponent is blinded Takeda can fire off other Illusions while the target is blinded. [b]Weakness:[/b] Block your vision. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Cloak of Shadows [b]Description:[/b] This technique exerts a hallucinatory effect upon the eyesight, effectively blinding the opponent. No matter how skilled an opponent may be, they are forced to wait helpless in this world of darkness, as this technique allows the user to attack unseen. Although it negates sight, it does not stop the other senses. [b]Weakness:[/b] Other senses aren’t blocked ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Dome of infinite bullets [b]Description:[/b] When Takeda has establish the Cloak of shadows Illusion Takeda then begins to from a secondary Illusions to be incorporated with the first Illusions. Takeda creates a large dome of bullet kept in pace all around the opponent. At a snap of the wrist the bullets shift and move to collide with the target engulfing him in what seems to be an endless wave of bullets. (Visual at 6 minutes onward [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diXEHgf9exg]Click[/url]) This jutsu can only be activated as a second layer after the first initial round of posts that Bringer of Darkness has been set. [b]Weakness:[/b] Breaking the first Illusions negates the second. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Shirinuke (Forgetfulness) [b]Description:[/b] After shooting off several bullets and making contact the user creates a Illusions that affects the frontal lobe of the opponents brain. The Illusions can affect multiple targets if more Reiatsu is used. The frontal lobe of the brain deals with planning activities and is linked to motivation. This Illusions simulated a traumatic brain injury to the frontal lobe which disables the opponent’s ability to plan out their moves and they lack the will and motivation to carry out the fight, making them less likely to continue trying to win and more likely to give up. [b]Weakness:[/b] When the Illusions is broken they go back to normal. The more targets effected by the Illusions the easier it is to brake from. If the hand seals are interrupted the Illusions must be recast. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Illusions no Inkan (Seal of Illusionary Techniques) [b]Description:[/b] This seal can be placed on any surface and excretes a thin Reiatsu aura that allows the application of Illusions to those within it. Thus, it can be applied to persons via contact. The Illusions Seal acts as a medium of application instead of the techniques normal application requirements. The seal can re-apply Illusions to those that break it if they are in the seal’s range. [b]Weakness:[/b] Requires contact, can only have a max of three seals active at once. The seal is always visible on whatever it is placed on. ==================== [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Eternal Glass Prison [b]Description:[/b] One of Takeda’s final techniques, Takeda when faced with a strong enough opponent will carefully remove his eye patch. When he opens his ragged eye a blistering white light radiates from his eye and a small beam of light escapes towards the opponent. Upon either sight or touch from the light the Illusion begins. The opponent will be tricked into thinking that Takeda has released a surge of Reiatsu to finish the battle in order to win. The opponent then win’s the match killing Takeda, but when they win they succumb to effects of the Illusion. The opponent finds that they are trapped in the right eye of Takeda for the rest of their natural born life in a glassy white eye. [b]Weakness:[/b] A powerful excretion of Reiatsu. Requires eyesight or touch. Heavy cost of Reiatsu on Takeda’s part. Hollow Spirit Personality: Minerva has split personalities. Prophet’s first personality is a very scared little girl named Luna; this innocent little girl is always benevolent and caring to whoever tends to her needs. Scared she is very clingy and always wears a sad face with her big round an eye bulging out almost in tears, her bottom lip tends to inflate and quiver nervously. In this personality she believes she is cursed with her gift and believes every image she sees is what causes the world to end or her violent death. This leads Prophet’s paranoia which creates a very acute sense of Schizophrenia. Always paranoid she constantly stumbles over her words and repeats them to herself without audibly forming them. She weighs and measures every possible outcome in her head until she’s lost in her mind fearing every outcome. However Minerva is like a double edged sword and is able to switch personalities in an instant which creates a deadly character. Her second personality is more possessive and in charge, dark, mysterious, deadly. Minerva likes to play with her opponents, torturing them little by little until they can hardly stand or until she grows bored of them. The exact opposite of Luna, She is sadistic, appears to value solitude over companionship and doesn't enjoy the aid or support of anyone trying to help her. Minerva is vicious, merciless and cruel. Cold and analytical are two words two describe her out of a million, she’s driven by the future and the bloodlust it carries with it, all the fires, all the death, the impending dumb sends her into a sublime ecstasy that gets her off. After her desires are set Minerva won’t stop until she rips her opponent shred from shred. Her alternate personalities are very deadly is she is cunning and conniving enough to gain someone’s trust. Because once she has your trust she can make a 180 and stab you in the back the next time you turn your back.
