Round 2

Edits

Okay moots, cleared the dispersing ability and manifestation got a color change.

Shikai: Kiyasume Kujaku (Soothing Peacock)

Release Command: Wareme Tentou, Kiyasume Kujaku (Split the Heavens, Soothing peacock)

Manifestation: Kiyasume Kujaku takes the form of a female peacock, whose feather colour is teal. She is proud of herself, playful and speaks to Hikari with a calm and soothing voice. She is also very guiding and protective of Hikari, willing to help her.

The inner world that within Kiyasume Kujaku resides is a lush green plain. Kujaku likes to play hide and seek with Hikari as she arrives into the plain, thus the girl hardly ever finds the spirit at first glimpse of the world.

Form/ Ability: Hikari pushes her zanpakutous hilt and sheath together, which then transforms into a pair of kusari-gama. They are slightly modified kusari-gama that there is no weight in either one, and they are linked with a single chain. The chain is roughly three feet in length and is hung loosely between the two blades. The blunt end of each are covered with a fabric, that’s coloured navy blue and pulse slightly with a blue hue.

The chain by which the kusari-gama is linked together is formed by Hikari’s reiatsu and thus is able to extend up to thirty feet. The chain can be extended five times before it must return to the normal state.

Reference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Kusarigama.jpg

Abilities:

"Unsan” (Disperse)
Hikari can disperse any kidou-like attack, including kai abilities which have solid projectile form and ceros, by slashing at it with her kusari-gama imbued with equal or more reiatsu than the cost of the ability. However this ability can’t be used on kidous that take four or more slots to equip originally.

 

[switch5]

Edit

Edited so that the paralysis affects the limb nearest to the wound inflicted.

Release Level: Shikai:

Name: The Maiden of Agony

Release Phrase: Flay their flesh, and force them to their knees.

Manifestation: The Maiden of Agony takes the form of a middle aged woman, although that wouldn’t be recognized at first glance. Her body is coated in lick layers of bandages, nearly all of which are bloody. She has no visible hair, and the only part of her body that is visible through the bandages is her left eye. The tiny amount of flesh around it reveals a plethora of scars.

Form: Amaya releases the blade by uttering the release phrase, and swinging her blade across her body. Once this occurs her hand remains clenched around the tsuka, while the tsukaito elongates enveloping the lower part of her arm, and extending to cover the blade. The blade is broken down inside tightly wound cloth, fragments of which protrude out. The cloth spreads into five distinct cords, resembling five small whips, each of which is lined with segments of the blade. These whips are about a half an inch in diameter, and measure about five feet long.

When she completes the swing, the whips come to rest lodged in her back. Additionally segments of the blade are used in the arm holding the weapon. Multiple small pieces of it puncture the entire arm as a means of making it more difficult to be disarmed. These wounds are for one simple purpose: pain. Thus these wounds (and only these wounds) are healed as soon as the blades are removed, yet they leave scars.

Attacks:

[Devour them with agony]

Upon saying these words a small amount of highly evaporative liquid covers each of the fragments of metal in the weapon. This liquid last only long enough for one swing, and is best used when the blades are already in the victim. This liquid is a toxin that causes no damage to the body at all. Its sole purpose is to stimulate nerves, causing an intense amount of pain, paralyzing the limb nearest to where the toxin is administered. This attack uses 5% of Amaya’s total Reiatsu.

[Spread and show us all your pain]

Immediately Amaya floods the whips with Reiatsu, causing some of them to move in directions that she chooses. She then uses the weapon in a similar way, only the movements of some of the whips are not related to the movement of the other, rather they go where she wants them to. This allows her to use some for defense, stopping blades, and other for offense simultaneously. She spends 200 Reiatsu to activate this ability, and an additional 100 each turn that it is active. At fist she may only control one whip separately, but for every 2,000 connection beyond 1,000 she may control another one, each additional whip requires an additional 100 Reiatsu per turn.

I upped the cost of the second attack a little bit and tried to clear up the stun. The main problem you had with it I think can be explained by a misunderstanding. When I wrote it, I tried to word it so that the 50 rei I spend per round is added to the cost of the attack. For example, I initiate it for 200. If I was to use it next round, it would be a 200 rei attack, but if I let it charge that round, the next round it's a 250 rei attack. Hope that clears it up for you, if need be I can try to explain it more over IM.

Since the other stuff was ok, I'm just re-doing the second attack.

Kanden- (Shock)
Luken can pay 200 reiatsu to begin charging his emecei with electricity that stuns and shocks the opponent; the stun acts mainly as a disruption, hindering the movement of the affected area the next turn. Since the electricity is created from his own reiatsu, it isn’t felt by Luken. It costs 50 reiatsu per round to continue to channel electricity into the emecei. There is no cost to stop imbuing the weapons with electricity, but it costs 200 reiatsu to begin charging again.

 

[K3]

Okay, I know it looks like a lot of changes, but in reality its just fixing a few problems, including the ones you pointed out Moots. IM me if there is any problems I missed or made, and I will fix them immediately.

[Name] Seizonsha (Survivor)

[Release Command] Hayaru, Seizonsha! (Thrive, Survivor!)

[Manifestation] Seizonsha takes the form of an old, four-winged eagle with scars decorating its body, the most prominent one being a large one that runs down its right eye. He has an old, raspy voice that speaks with constant wisdom, though at times it can be mistaken for senility as he almost always speaks in riddles to Tougen. If there is one thing that is clear to Tougen about him, it’s that he always stresses that Tougen never give up his freedom for any reason. He becomes agitated and paranoid whenever Tougen is locked into a room, no matter the reason. How Seizonsha feels about Tougen is currently unknown, though he seems to take on a grandfatherly role of sorts. He claims to be descendant of a warrior culture, though which is unknown to even himself, as his memory is quite the reverse of Tougen’s.

[Form] When the command phrase is spoken, Tougen’s katana straightens itself and lengthens, becoming a 4’ long claymore. Along the side of the blade is the Greek letter, Ω (Omega), engraved into the steel. The guard is an eagle, with the wings spread outwards to form the guard, with the head grasping the blade in its jaw, and the lower body missing. The handle remains red, though now it’s vibrant crimson silk wrapped around oak-brown leather. The pommel is a tourmaline orb.

[Ability] O Uyoku no Fuki – On Wings of Freedom: Upon the release of Seizonsha, two white and gold-feathered wings emerge from Tougen’s back on the outside of whatever clothing he is wearing. The wings are an extension of Tougen, bleeding if injured and remain broken once broken, as well as sharing pain. The strength of the wings is identical to that of normal bird wings. Tougen may pay 1000 reiatsu to fully repair them a single time per fight, being allowed to repair them an extra time for every 3000 connection he has and peaking at repairing them 3 times per battle.

[Attack] Doki Futori – Wrath of the Captive Bird: Tougen reserves this attack, using it only when all else fails or when someone succeeds in the task of angering him. Gathering his reiatsu into either of his arms, legs or even his claymore, he will launch dozens of reiatsu shards resembling broken glass roughly the size of a closed palm from the designated area to pierce through an enemy, scattering the shards in a cone pattern on launch and sending them roughly 50-feet in distance. This attack costs 4% of Tougen’s reiatsu.

 

[Red Dill]

Initial Awakening - Lucas Morgan

Form: When Lucas activates his advent human powers, his human body transforms into that of a Russian wolf with precisely the same mass as his human body. His wolf form has a dark gray coat with black as a mask on the face, in a stripe down the back, and at the tip of the tail. This wolf form gives him access to all the physical characteristics of an adult male wolf. He does not lose his human personality or his intelligence. In his wolf form, apart from being abnormal in most situations, he is indistinguishable from an actual wolf and cannot communicate verbally.

While in wolf form, he is able to sense and touch spiritual entities. The higher his harmony, the more physically powerful his wolf form becomes. The cost of activating his wolf form is equal to 20% of his harmony.

Ability: As long as he is in wolf form, his reiatsu is suppressed so that he cannot emit any reiatsu above the natural threshold for a wild wolf. As a result, even his spirit is indiscernible from that of a normal, natural wolf while he is in this form. The cost of suppressing his own reiatsu in this way is a compound 5% loss of reiatsu every turn.

Note

Note that a compound percentage means that as his reiatsu decreases from loss, so does the amount of loss per turn. This ensures that he can never kill himself by remaining in his wolf form. It is also the more logical option, because as the volume ofhis reiatsu decreases, so would the energy necessary to suppress it.

 

[Kago]

Let's give this another shot....

Bankai​

Name:

Kakuchou Hishou Masurao

Form:

Upon lifting his jian horizontally in front of him and speaking the word “Bankai,” an emerald glow emanating from the jian spirals around Kago and engulfs him in a sphere of light. After a few brief moments, the sphere breaks down into solid beams swirling around him before they return to the blade, one by one.

After the brightness begins to fade and the dust settles, Kago can be seen still standing in his original position, holding a new zanpakutou. The blade has extended in length and broadened in width. In addition, the guard lengthens outward and sweeps forward, running parallel to the blade.

The zanpakutou is not the only new item. Kago’s entire shinigami uniform has been replaced by the military attire of ancient China (the attire of his zanpakutou spirit’s human form).

Ability:

Kyuukyoku Tojikomemasu (Final Sealing/Lockdown)

The moment that his released blade makes contact with an opponent’s shikai or bankai, Kago can expend reiatsu equivalent to 5% of his opponent’s connection to revert their shikai back to its unreleased state or revert their bankai back to its shikai form. This effect only lasts for 6 rounds for an opponent's shikai form and 3 rounds for an opponent’s bankai form. In addition, if the kai has no tangible form, the same effect may be applied by striking the opponent’s body.

Seeing that this ability is based on the connection a shinigami has with his/her zanpakutou, this ability can also be used against vizards by following the same rules. The only difference, however, is that if the vizard is masked, Kyuukyoku Tojikomemasu is rendered ineffective. In addition, any vizard can bypass the round limitation by calling upon his mask and then releasing his kai form.

 

[xXSound13Xx]

Alright going for another try but different kai, I guess its better I keep doing this so I find something I super duper like, like this kai~

Name: Épée Regina

Command: Forge, Épée Regina

Manifestation: Regina takes the form of a lovely girl in her mid twenties that is draped in shredded purple cloth barely covering certain parts of her flawless body. Her hair has a brown tint to it in the dim light of the world she resides in. Around her are an assorted amount of ponds with tadpoles, full frogs and even snakes lurking in the waters edges. The ponds are surrounded by an ancient forest of leaning trees and old oaks that have the appearance as if they had been there since the beginning of time. Her attitude towards something’s can be harsh and brutal, but she seems to have a softer side when it comes to children. Every time Kara talks to her he cant help but blush, as she only giggles at how much of a child he can act around girls.

Form: After uttering the command, Regina takes the form of a pair of devil like wings in the form of a backpack, that is placed on Kara’s back. Each wing has a hole in the top that appears to be able to hold a sword in it. The appearance of the backpack has three holes that glow and create a triangle. The colors it glow differ depending on the different kidou placed inside of the backpack. The backpack’s base color is the same as that of a normal sword but has the same thirteen red tassels that hung on the unreleased form of Regina.

Ability:

1. Créez : Kara charges a single kidou under level twenty into his backpack. Once inside, the kidou morphs into a blade with the same composition as the kidou used. Ex. If Hadou #6, Static Blast, is charged into the backpack, the sword will have the element of electricity. The sword is then released from one of the holes in the wing of Regina. Each sword created will cost 2x of the kidou charged and only up to two swords can be made at a time, although only one can be wield at a time. All swords created have the durability of 20% of Kara’s zanjutsu stat.

 

[Arkhan]

Level: Shikai

Changes:

I've made some changes based on what was said before.
The first ability now provides more reiatsu, but has the same tied-in nerf of 3% as before- up from 1% to 5%. The change in kidou doesn't affect his slots or spell placement. He can only use the ability 7 times now, up from 5. If it's still odd then recommend some values for those three points of gain, loss, and charges.

The second ability has had it's maximum range simplified- 5 yards for every 100 is the same as 50 yards for every 1000 and the whole kidou part has been tossed. Once created, the connection is maintained freely but the 20 seconds of concentration must still be done to create it.

The third ability now has a 100 rei/round cost and the increases have been lowered from 1/3/5% to 1/2/3%. The ability now also makes the blade much more detectable using spiritual senses and the constant redirection of reiatsu makes any kidou Leo attempts to cast in combat take more energy to perform- this was done to accentuate that the ability is meant to be used as a net benefit to a group or squad. Hostile or unwilling targets no longer receive or pass it on, something I realized would have been a rather funny inadvertent side effect that completely nullified the entire point of the ability.

Name: Spirit of progression

Command: Ashisuto, Kaizen taido
"Assist, spirit of progression”

Manifestation: Kaizen Taido is the top half of a completely normal and unadorned shinigami, the rest of him obscured in mist. He looks old but happy and speaks with a kind and gentle tone. The use of the zanpakutou abilities makes him happy, and he will always stand by Leo when he communes with an innocent trapped inner spirit such as ones found inside Hollow.

Form: Once released, it looks like an unreleased soul slayer at first except both the blade and sheath now have a winding design of a set of soft red lines seemingly for aesthetics and this pattern continues until the handle which is now an off-white base with dark purple crosshatch handle grip wrappings made of the standard grip fabric. The handle wrappings on the blade, secured at the end, are attached to the sheath by a cord of a strong, reinforced fabric that measures 3 feet in length. Every use of Taikou or Konekuto temporarily make the markings on the sheath and blade of it's released form longer by about a centimeter and this effect resets once the blade is resealed.

The sealed form now shares the fabric connecting the blade handle to the sheath, but doesn't have the other changes.

Regress (Taikou):

The primary ability of Kaizen Taido is a step backwards. When the command is spoken the metal of Leo's blade becomes a dark red color gradating back to normal to the sharpened end. By placing either the sheath or the blade near his body, he can regress his skin, blood, bone, or even muscle tissue into his own reiatsu in small amounts at a time. The affected cells cease to be physical, so it is as if his body has actually lost them. Up to 2 square centimeters or an ounce of blood can be done per use though they don't have to be contiguous, and it provides him with exactly 5% of his maximum reiatsu for use in kidou that is stored in the blade and sheath themselves.

Because he is damaging himself with the ability however, every use also makes him temporarily lose 3% of his current base stats (Zan/Hak/Hou/Kid.) The temporary adjustment to kidou doesn't affect slot or spell placement. Leo can only use this ability 7 times at full health, and less when damaged for obvious reasons.

Every use of Taikou makes the lines adorning the soul slayer and it's sheath to begin to glow softly, beginning from the bottom of the sheath and working it's way up to the point of the blade. These lines contain the reiatsu created by the ability, and they dissipate when it is used. If these glowing lines come into contact with a large amount of hostile reiatsu, they will rupture and explode violently with the blast most likely incapacitating him at best and putting him into critical condition at worst, the zanpakutou itself will most likely shatter as well. This danger as well as the reduction of his fighting abilities due to stat loss mean that Taikou is severely impractical in combat.

Connect (Konekuto):

The secondary ability of Kaizen Taido is the ability to speak with any spirit that is at least 50 yards away that isn't inside a soul slayer. This range increases with Leo's Connection- for every 1000 connection the ability can be used and maintained from 50 farther yards away. The connection will break if the target exits the maximum range or after 10 minutes.

This includes not only shinigami themselves but the human spirits comprising hollow and even the hollow spirits inside vaizard. So long as the source of a spirit (The source of a vaizard's inner hollow is the vaizard itself, etc.) is in range of the ability Leo and his blade can, if they work together, commune with it. Leo can decide when the connection is being made if he wants it to be internal or a broadcast that projects in a normal volume for the things being said in which case Leo must also speak out loud.

To create the link, Leo must focus with his entire intact blade and sheath for 20 uninterrupted seconds- he must have sight of the target for this. Anything except for minor movement, even blocking an attack or a shunpo movement, will cancel the ability's progress. Once created, the connection is maintained freely.

All this ability allows is for Leo to talk with the spirit. It doesn't give them any special power to influence each other. The spirit may refuse the connection, or either may break it at any time. Forces with 1.5x times the reiatsu of the stronger spirit in the link can monitor any internal conversation without them knowing. Leo can only create and maintain one such connection at a time. The two of them are not scanning each other's minds during this- they actively send any messages; as if they had a second mouth that could only speak for the connection. This can actually allow someone to speak two different sentences out loud simultaneously if they have the mental capacity (which the average shinigami probably does not), but this can't be used to chant kidou or activate anything in any way.

Advance together (Tagaini shinkou):

The final ability of Kaizen Taido is for Leo and the blade to pass control of their reiatsu to others- not their actual reiatsu, but the ability to control it to aid others. When released, and the ability is activated, the sword and Leo will emit a 50 yard spherical aura together and only together. The blade, the sheath, and Leo must be together for this to work so a temporary disarming will cancel the ability temporarily, but the ability stays on unless Leo shuts it off. It costs 100 reiatsu per round to activate and maintain the aura, and once this cost cannot be paid anymore the ability shuts down.

Once this ability is activated Leo and the blade become much more detectable using spiritual senses. The range required to detect them is lessened by 1 rank of "Reiatsu Noukan” or the equivalents, and Leo loses any ability to hide his reiatsu if he had it to begin with. Once activated, the constant redirection means Leo's ability to cast kidou in combat is lessened and he must pay 1.5x the normal cost of a spell to use it. Out of combat, he has the required focus to avoid that increase.

Anyone Leo has a word count of 5,000+ with in a 50 yard area will experience a 1% increase in their single highest core stat (not Rei/Con/Harmony.) If two are tied, pick one. For every person affected by the ability, anyone they have a word count of 10,000+ with in a 50 yard area from them gets this 1% increase as well. This repeats with a requirement of 15,000+ in a 50 yard area from them as well. These bonuses don't ever stack. The most any target can get is a 1% increase. This cost of this chain of bonuses will continue to increase by 5k word requirements for each jump. Hostile or unwilling targets are not eligible to receive or propagate the buff as well as anyone that for some reason Leo specifically excludes.

If affected targets have United Front with each other, the bonus becomes 2%.

If affected targets have achieved Fate of Triangles with each other, the bonus becomes 3% and cannot be broken or interrupted by outside effects, only by the ability being canceled, Leo losing Shikai, or someone moving out of range. However, anything that for some reason breaks United Front/Defense/FoT will reduce the bonus accordingly. (So in the presence of some sort of enemy Shiroi, the bonus would regress back to 1%.)

 

[Typpoh]

Level: Shikai

Name: Inuwashi - (Golden eagle)

Command: Shackle the world, Inuwashi.

Manifestation:

Inuwashi takes the appearance of a majestic white eagle, with the beak, talons, and feather linings colored gold. The eagle measures 7 ft across the wingspan, and 3 ft in body length. Inuwashi is the embodiment of everything Laughing Wolf envies in others and strives for himself, decisiveness, inspiration, tranquility, and most importantly, freedom.

Shikai appearance:

Laughing Wolf holds up his zanpakutou in front of him, and as he utters the command phrase he slowly unsheathes the blade. Both blade and sheath are then emblazoned in a bright white light. The white light rapidly creeps up and entwines his arms and chest until finally meeting behind his back. As the two ends connect the light slowly dies down and reveals a heavy, 2 inch thick, black chain now wrapped around his chest and arms. The two ends of the chain, now hanging from his fists, are marked by barbed wolf heads in black steel. The wolf heads are hollow, with grips inside, and can be used as knuckles in close combat.

Laughing Wolf can also extend the chain outward to attack his foes at a distance, with the wolf heads working as weights. If he uses both ends of the chain for attacking simultaneously he can extend them a maximum of 20ft. If he only uses one end of the chain he can extend it up to 40ft.

Abilities:

[Howl of the Crimson Wolf]
Apart from just working as weights, the wolf heads can also be used for storing reiatsu. Laughing Wolf can siphon up to 10% of his reiatsu into each wolf head, broken up into two stages: 5% and 10%.
When this ability is used, the eyes on the wolf head starts to shimmer with a red glow. This glow grows stronger the more reiatsu Laughing Wolf siphons into them – starting with the eyes glowing dark red at 5%, to the entire wolf head being surrounded by a miasma of crackling red energy at 10%.
Maintaining the stored reiatsu takes a great deal of concentration. After three turns it cost Laughing Wolf 100 reiatsu per turn to control the stored energy. If he fails to meet this criteria, the stored reiatsu explodes in a 10ft-radius around the wolf head, damaging everyone caught in the blast radius, even himself - the strength of the explosion remains the same when he loses control in this manner, unaffected by the amount of stored reiatsu. If this occurs, his shi kai is instantly cancelled.

The stored energy can be used offensively. Whenever a wolf head, with stored reiatsu, connects with a solid object the energy is instantaneously released, creating massive explosion, damaging everyone caught in the blast radius. The size of the explosion is dependent on the amount of stored reiatsu, for every stage of reiatsu stored the blast radius is increased by 10ft, so 10ft minimum at 5%, up to 20ft at 10%.
When Laughing Wolf’s using the wolf heads as knuckles, the explosion takes effect as a 90 degrees cone facing away from him, stretching between 10ft-20ft, depending on the stored reiatsu as described above.

• Reiatsu can’t be stored and released in the same turn.
  
• The stored reiatsu cannot be increased after the initial value. The only way to alter the amount of stored reiatsu after allocating the first value, is to release the energy in an attack as described above, and then take another turn to charge it up again.
  
• The reiatsu siphoned into the wolf heads is lost for the battle, and cannot be siphoned back into Laughing Wolf by any means.

 

[DarkToaster]

Roast – approved

Threader – this basically functions like a barrier and its useful against almost every attack. Read the barrier section of the faq. This practically makes you immune to anyone with 1 point of reiatsu less than you if they rely on anything that isn’t a melee stat. There is really no way I can pass it.

Switch – approved

Raptor – approved

Seraph – approved

Dilbert – approved

Kago – approved

Sound – approved, its implemented weirdly but the idea itself is okay.

Ark – This kai really does too much. You probably need to drop an ability. While three ability kai are allowed, there gets a point where it like heals as well as attacks as well as reads minds and cuts cheese and grills hamburgers and cleans cars and etc. This kai is at that point.

Typo – Keep in mind that using this as a range weapon kind of makes it a zan weapon while using it as knuckles makes it more of a hak kind of thing.

There is an issue with the way the numbers work. Usually kai tend to top out at using 10% of reiatsu to fuel it. That is the max for 2 or 1 ability kai as a general rule. This allows for using 25% of your reiatsu in earlier levels which is the equivalent of a miniature bankai. I realize that this isn’t a percentile attack, so I’m more lenient with the restrictions, but as it’s written its just a lil bit overboard. Try and tone it down a bit.

[Arkhan]

Level: Shikai

Changes:

Ok. I've gone and reworked most of it, based on the advice. If it's not approved this time please give me advice that will get it approved instead of denied if I follow it.

I went with 30% as a cap because of the old adage of everything coming in threes.

Name: Spirit of progression

Command: Ashisuto, Kaizen taido
“Assist, spirit of progression”

Manifestation: Kaizen Taido is the top half of a completely normal and unadorned shinigami, the rest of him obscured in mist. He looks old but happy and speaks with a kind and gentle tone. The use of the zanpakutou abilities makes him happy, and he will always stand by Leo when he communes with an innocent trapped inner spirit such as ones found inside Hollow.

Form: Once released, it looks like an unreleased soul slayer at first except both the blade and sheath now have a winding design of a set of soft red lines seemingly for aesthetics and this pattern continues until the handle which is now an off-white base with dark purple crosshatch handle grip wrappings made of the standard grip fabric. The lines almost resemble a large blood vein.

The handle wrappings on the blade, secured at the end, are attached to the sheath by a cord of a strong, reinforced fabric that measures 5 feet in length. Every use of Taikou temporarily make the markings on the sheath and blade of it's released form longer by about a centimeter and this effect resets once the blade is resealed.

The sealed form shares the fabric connecting the blade handle to the sheath, but doesn't have the other changes. Should this fabric be severed both abilities will only function at half strength.

Regress (Taikou):

When the command is spoken the metal of Leo's blade becomes a dark red color gradating back to normal to the sharpened end. By placing either the sheath or the blade near his body he can regress his skin, blood, bone, or even muscle tissue into his own reiatsu. The affected cells cease to be physical, so it is as if his body has actually lost them. Up to 2 square centimeters or an ounce of blood provide him with exactly 10% of his maximum reiatsu for use in kidou that is stored in the blade and sheath themselves. The blade can store about 30% of his maximum reiatsu before it's full.

Because he is physically damaging himself with the ability however, every use also makes him temporarily lose 3% of his current base stats (Zan/Hak/Hou/Kid.) The temporary adjustment to kidou doesn't affect slot or spell placement, however the relationship between Houhou and Shunpo (or another stat related tech if one's ever made someday) will be affected.

Every use of Taikou makes the lines adorning the soul slayer and it's sheath to begin to glow softly, beginning from the bottom of the sheath and working it's way up to the point of the blade. These lines contain the reiatsu created by the ability, and they dissipate when it is used. If these glowing lines come into contact with a large amount of hostile reiatsu, they will rupture and explode violently with the blast most likely incapacitating him at best and putting him into critical condition at worst. The zanpakutou itself will most likely shatter as well should this happen.

Toguru: Fuu. Kai. (Toggle: Seal, Release.):
Leo can turn the vulnerability of his kai on and off- when he speaks the command to seal it the reiatsu lines along the blade and sheath harden and will no longer explode on contact with too much energy. However, Leo can now no longer access that reiatsu for use in spells even though the stat loss and damage persist. He must speak the phrase to make the lines become vulnerable again to use the stored rei for kidou or store any more of it. This is different from sealing the kai itself and losing shikai- in that case, the stored energy is lost completely.

The fabric connecting the blade handle to the sheath will become harder when the ability is "Sealed." Although the fabric does not approach metal consistency, it will not be cut by stray motions either when it's sealed.

Shikai

Name
Santeishu - Lord of Calculation/Computation/Estimation

Spirit Manifestation
Santeishu takes the form of a massive mechanical wolf, made of what seems to be brass plates and clockwork. The detail of the beast is fine enough that it is capable of making smooth movements like a true wolf, but his every movement is accompanied by clicks and whirs, and the various mechanical components and gears are apparent in various places on his body. The only part of it that does not appear to be made of metal is his eyes; nothing but glowing white light fills the sockets. Personality wise, he thinks like a more mature and reserved Conrad.

Command
Kasoku, Santeishu! - Accelerate, Santeishu!

Form
After Conrad speaks the command phrase, typically while drawing the Santeishu from its sheathe, it turns into glowing brass light, which stretches into the form of a staff. The staff is a little over three feet long, and is the same brass color of Santeishu's manifestation. The head of the staff has various constantly-moving components, creating a constant ticking noise that increases in speed and intensity as the weapon's powers are used. Conrad's grip tends to be a little over a third of the way up the handle, and it typically is held relaxed, with the end of the staff near the ground.

Ability(Abilities?)
Santeishu acts to enhance Conrad's mind. It can bring forth any memory, whether it is something Conrad consciously recalls or not.

In addition, it accelerates his perception, allowing him time to plan and react intelligently even in the heat of battle. The normal 'combat speed' is approximately 5 times as fast, and costs 2% of his reiatsu per turn. The speed of his thoughts doubles with every extra 2% past the first 2%, maxing out at 10% a turn for 80x perception; although this is highly impractical for combat, it can be handy for quickly figuring things out or coming up with complex plans when time is limited. Santeishu in no way effects Conrad's physical speed.

Any damage to Santeishu or interruption of the moving parts at its head will interrupt its abilities accordingly.

 

[Unholy]

Release Level: Shikai

Name: Reitou Sutaa (Frozen Star)

Release phrase:Teach them why legends end, or Ripple with Power.

Manifestation: Reitou Suutra

Reitou Suuta's emotions are normally the antithesis of Shin...puting them at odds with each other. Despite this, he is highly intelligent and can't stand the foolishness of anyone but himself. He has a certain disdain for human and human-type zanpakutou calling them meat or fleshie. Animals and other beings he likes slightly better. An uncommon ability he has is that he is able to communicate telepathically with other people as well as temporarily control Shin.

Release form: When released, Reitou Suutra takes the shape of two long clawed gauntlets and shoes. The gauntlets and shoes are blue and silver with three small orbs on each of them.

Ability 1: Star Surge - Shin can use up to 40% of his total reiatsu for this ability. The energy used is stored in his gauntles and shoes. Within two turns the, energy within doubles and within another two turns, the energy is triples. Each orb lights up from blue to yellow to red according how long the energy was stored. Shin can attack three times for the same amount of damage if the power hasn't been altered. If the power has doubled, he can only attackwith it twice. If tripled then only once. After the last strike has been made, it will require a cooldown according to how long the power has been held.

• No cooldown for no power increase unless the power is above 20% max reiatsu. If it is, the cooldown rate is 1 turn. Above 30% is 2 turns.
• Cooldown rate is 1 turn if the energy is doubled unless it is above 20% max reiatsu. If it is, the cooldown rate is 2 turns. Above 30% is 3 turns
• Cooldown rate is 2 turns if the power is tripled unless power is above 20% max reiatsu. If it is, the cooldown rate is 3 turns. Above 30% is 4 turns.

The attack can be dealt by his body (Hands, Feet, elbows, knees.), or in the form of a ray blast(can only be done by hands and feet). Once the power is used to attack the energy cannot be altered.

Ability 2: Dimensional Control:Molecular Manipulation - Because Shin hardly understands this power all, It is Reitou Sutaa that controls it. Reitou Suuta has the ability to create miniature pocket dimension. The range of this is from Shin's body to 5 ft. This power is used in two ways: Upon his body and on his surroundings. Reitou Sutaa can break apart the molecular bonds in an object and put the back together again within the area. He can only alter the body 2 time per 1000 connection with the total being 6 times. Outside his body is a different story. Once Shin touch an item he instantly knows how many molecules there are in the item. Shin can also stop the process at just breaking apart matter if the matter in question isn't sentient (An example of this would be rocks, metals, summons) Sentient matter can be broken up but only for a short time before it resumes its normal shape. The cost is 2% of his max reiatsu.

Ability 3: Energize: This ability is to be used in conjunction with Star Surge. This ability allows him to either return all stored energy to himself or to another person as well as heal minor wounds. If Shin attacks with Star Surge then this ability can't be used until the next tiem energy is stored. After this ability is used Shin must wait 5 turns before being able to use it again. The weapons will take on the cooldown rate according to how long energy was stored. The cost of this ability is 5% max reiatsu.

Bankai Submission​

Name: Kastali Veroa, Bein Mala (Fortress Guardian, Bone Grinder)

Theme: Vulnerability

Form: In its Shikai form, the weapon is a hybrid, half-axe, half-hammer. In Bankai the emphasis is still on duality, versatility and effectiveness, except now, the weapon is a messenger of destruction, supporting its master’s philosophy of direct/blunt truth as a full sledge hammer.

The hammer itself remains heavy and roughly formed, appearing to be made of stone or as thick a metal slab as one could imagine. The wooden handle is longer but is fundamentally unchanged, still being wrapped in leather stripping from the neck down to the end.

When Endymion calls out “Ban-kai” he slams his hammer against the ground, shattering the weapon into sparkling dust. While the weapon reforms into is bankai state, a visible indication of his bankai is that the sky cracks like a broken, disfigured mirror.

Ability: Gramir Rada (King's Counsel)

Still endowed with the ability to determine the “weakness” or “Critical point” in anything that has a physical makeup, this ability is now magnified and propelled to a new level of mastery. When a critical point is struck, instantly there is a new critical point created and Endymion is allowed the ability to discern this cascading effect several times over with a simple glance. Since this ability is reliant on seeing the item, object, landscape, body, etc, in order to realize the structural weak point, it is more difficult for him to determine the make up of something or someone he can’t see. Things that he has seen will actually reveal their physical make up based on the scheme of critical points that he can determine.

In addition, his discernment of all the critical weak points in a physical make up allows him to focus on a specific weak point from a distance. To accomplish this Endymion will allow a thin green aura to gather around his hammer; when the hammer is struck against something it will release a compression of reiatsu that will travel harmlessly from point to point, transferring through objects and bodies like a fuse until it reaches the desired critical point and explode. The speed of the “fuse” and strength of the explosion is relative to Endymion’s Zanjutsu.

Attack: Riktr Gnata (Great Crash)

A basic expression of the now chainable damage that his Bankai causes, Bein Mala will have a very thin, rich blue aura around it and a very specific shockwave is sent out when he strikes an object. To the unperceptive eye a shockwave blow might look like a general use of power that affects an entire surface area, however, the attack’s actual workings utilize the pathways that Endymion can now see starting from the original critical point struck. When the first point is struck, the chain reaction is almost instantaneous, traveling through every critical point of the physical make up of whatever was struck (i.e. a person, a wall, landscape). If space allows, a strike will chain reaction for up to a one hundred foot radius, decimating anything not strong, or lucky, enough to survive. A chainable strike move such as this costs Endymion a measurable reiatsu amount of 1000 of his reiatsu per strike.

Attack: Luta (Reverence)

In situations where Endymion receives a debuff to a stat or ability, he can choose to pay double the reiatsu cost of the kidou, feat, or release ability to have the debuff reversed into a buff to that same stat. He cannot selectively redistribute that buff so it remains connected to the same stat and retains any restrictions that the original debuff might have had (duration, side effects, etc)

 

[Veralidaine]

True Awakening

Form: Hundreds of wire-like, nearly transparent strings wrap around Nora’s hands, bunching together to form something resembling gloves that coil up her wrists. The strings are manipulated in length and sharpness as well as movement by a telekinetic energy that Nora controls with small movements in the muscles of her hands, as with her previous ability, allowing her to detach the strings and control them through the air. The maximum length of each string is 20 feet. The durability, speed, and possible cutting power of the strings is determined by Nora’s combat statistic.

Ability - Enlace (Connection/Tie): By connecting herself to a target with a string, Nora can tap into the nervous system of the target, enabling her to read thoughts. Surface thoughts are easily read as long as even a disconnected piece of string is in contact with the target, while she may delve deeper into a person’s psyche to see thoughts and memories if the string is in direct contact with both herself and the target at the cost of 1000 reiatsu. The ability may be used again the next round to discover more. Using this ability the first time uncovers vivid memories, and less consciously held ones each time the technique is repeated. Within 4 uses, every memory in the person's mind can be examined.

Ability - Influjo (Influx/Influence): Nora can also reverse the connection through a string in direct contact with herself and a target, changing thoughts within the target's mind. For the cost of 1% of her reiatsu, Nora can enhance or remove thoughts the target was already having or bring to the surface any preexisting subconscious thought. At the cost of 3%, she may implant or remove a normal thought. At 5%, she may suggest or remove a thought that may otherwise seem unreasonable, but under the influence of this ability, seems totally real or reasonable to the target. The effectiveness of these is at full potential when used on a target of weaker or similar reiatsu, but if the opponent is more resilient, each of the techniques is weakened to the next level down, rendering unreasonable thought implantation impossible. On an unresilient opponent, removed thoughts or memories may never return.

Round 3...

Shikai: Kiyasume Kujaku (Soothing Peacock)

Release Command: Wareme Tentou, Kiyasume Kujaku (Split the Heavens, Soothing peacock)

Manifestation: Kiyasume Kujaku takes the form of a female peacock, whose feather colour is teal. She is proud of herself, playful and speaks to Hikari with a calm and soothing voice. She is also very guiding and protective of Hikari, willing to help her.

The inner world that within Kiyasume Kujaku resides is a lush green plain. Kujaku likes to play hide and seek with Hikari as she arrives into the plain, thus the girl hardly ever finds the spirit at first glimpse of the world.

Form/ Ability: Hikari pushes her zanpakutous hilt and sheath together, which then transforms into a pair of kusari-gama. They are slightly modified kusari-gama that there is no weight in either one, and they are linked with a single chain. The chain is roughly three feet in length and is hung loosely between the two blades. The blunt end of each are covered with a fabric, that’s coloured navy blue and pulse slightly with a blue hue.

The chain by which the kusari-gama is linked together is formed by Hikari’s reiatsu and thus is able to extend up to thirty feet. The chain can be extended five times before it must return to the normal state.

Reference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Kusarigama.jpg

Abilities:

"Unsan” (Disperse)
Hikari can disperse any kidou-like attack, including kai abilities which have solid projectile form and ceros, by slashing at it with her kusari-gama imbued with equal or more reiatsu than the cost of the ability. The amount of reiatsu Hikari can use to disperse is 7% of her Kidou Stat.

 

[DarkToaster]

Typo – Approved

Ark – If you are going to be snippy with me and tell me how to do what I do as a service to the rp, I’m not going to look at it. Read the Kai FAQ. I am not obligated to tell you how to make a viable kai, nor make a workable one for you and I resent you commanding me to do so just because you are unable to do so on your own.

Harold and Kamar – The memory thing is an ability which should be divided so as to stand alone. As for the reaction thing, this kai would kind of give a temporary extra reaction time that an AH gets at like enormous amounts of agility. You are going to need to tone it down. Check the Advent Human base techs to see what I’m talking about here. Also, the effect is fairly concrete so I don’t think you would need a percentile cost for this.

Unholy – Okay we already have a problem in that your zan spirit has an ability way above and beyond normal. Talking to and listening to zan spirits is iffy and it doesn’t even count toward your ability allotment.

Ability 1 – For like one turn of waiting, you can get 40% reiatsu the way this is written and that is just one round. There is no way this will pass ever.

Ability 2 – I really don’t know what you mean by alteration, but it seems pretty extensive for a 3 ability kai, one ability of which is just beyond bankai level.

Ability 3- Ability 1 is messed up so this one really isn’t going to work either.

NEEDS WORK

Lambargo – Mostly good but your debuff flipping ability has a problem in that if someone like me hit you with a debuff, I could like give you a billion % buff over and beyond any buff caps. You need a cap.

Veraldo – Form is fine, Ability 1, I want to make sure that you are subject to certain human limitations such as biological "hard drive” space. As long as you aren’t expecting to touch someone’s mind and download everything they’ve ever known and such. I’m not sure if I’m making much sense. Ask me about it if I’m not.

On the 2nd one, I would prefer if it was just in regards to just implanting memories because deleting people’s entire identities or whatnot could get a lil...difficult to balance. I think you’ve kind of clogged this thing up with unneeded mechanics and tables. You added the memory deletion thing and then thought "I’ll add a table to make it balanced!” That is like mistake number 3 in the FAQ.

Threader – Approved, I suppose.

After Conrad speaks the command phrase, typically while drawing the Santeishu from its sheathe, it turns into glowing brass light, which stretches into the form of a staff. The staff is a little over three feet long, and is the same brass color of Santeishu's manifestation. The head of the staff has various constantly-moving components, creating a constant ticking noise that increases in speed and intensity as the weapon's powers are used. Conrad's grip tends to be a little over a third of the way up the handle, and it typically is held relaxed, with the end of the staff near the ground.


Abilities:
Santeishu acts to enhance Conrad's mind.

Eidetic Memory
Santeishu can bring forth any memory, whether it is something Conrad consciously recalls or not.

"Nyuushin" - Inspiration/Genius/Superhuman Skill
Santeishu can accelerate Conrad's mind as a whole, causing him to perceive things around him at a slightly slower rate, giving him the ability to react faster and make snap decisions easier. Such enhancement strains the mind, however, and thus cannot be maintained for more than a total of fifteen seconds, plus another fifteen per thousand reiatsu. (Approx. one average-length round, plus one more every thousand reiatsu).

Nyuushin can be activated at will by Conrad saying the name of the ability, or by Santeishu itself if needed. The later is more strenuous for Conrad as he is unable to prepare for the shock, thus such forced activation cuts the maximum fight duration by one round.

Costs 150 Reiatsu per round, +250 for forced activation.


Any damage to Santeishu or interruption of the moving parts at its head will interrupt its abilities accordingly.

Shikai

Name: Kerushi

Command: Ascend, Kerushi!

Manifestation
The zanpakutou’s spirit is a warrior princess trapped in a dark cavern of withering corpses. She wears red and gold armor that symbolizes both her strength and royalty. A fierce woman that is unafraid of war and bloodshed, she is the manifestation of a character that Lilith had imagined for years. She sacrificed her seat as future queen to lead her armies. Thus with her courage, she will incite Lilith to do away with her fears and fight with unwavering resolve.

Manifestation Image

Appearance
Lilith’s zanpakutou takes on the form of a pair of Feng Huo Lun—sharp circular weapons that can be used for throwing or hacking her way through opponents. The front half of each has a large blade that extends outward in a crescent lunar shape. On the opposite side, a deep violet, fibrous material is wound around (approximately two inches wider than her palm) to give Lilith a comfortable grip.

Shikai Image

Abilities

Fated Circle – Enkei
Lilith throws her Feng Huo Lun in a circular motion around her body. Kerushi will then trace the circle’s revolution against the ground with a purple, glowing light. Once Lilith says the word, “Enkei,” the circular marking on the floor will detonate in an outward direction.

Fated Circle’s attack requires 300 reiatsu to explode. It only pushes in an outward direction, thus doing very little, if any, damage to anything inside of the light’s circumference.

Blinding Eclipse – Genwaku
By aligning both pieces of Kerushi together, Lilith can say “Genwaku” and a thin, gaseous film will form over the empty space inside of the Feng Huo Lun. It will then absorb the light that hits against it and refract that light into the opponent’s eyes. This will temporarily stun the target causing the opponent to stay in a short daze lasting for one to two seconds. In order to be successful, Lilith must be able to look through the weapon’s inner circumference and meet the target’s open eyes.
