KIDOU THE DEMON ARTS

HADO

BAKUDO

Name: Kyokko (Curving Light) *
Number: 26
Class: Kidou
Tier: III
Type: Bakudō
Range: Long
Incantation: Unknown
Description: Hides the target from sight by bending light. This Kidō can completely mask the presence and reiatsu of the target from detection but if any other combat technique is activated, this Kidou is overwhelmed and broken.

HEALING

OTHER

Name: World Step Dance
Type: Supplementary
Class: Kidou
Tier: III
Range: Self
Incantation: First ring, iron cradle, horned shadow, eternal malice. Below the brass-tread raging smile, swell and slumber years away.
Description: While under the influence of this kidou, the user becomes as tangible as they wish to stone, dirt, wood and the like, permiating through the ground or buildings as they like. Supernatural materials made of such things still affect them normally (so, a wooden zanpactou still hurts as much as normal), only materials not made by a person's power count (soul society/HM etc. buildings count as normal for this purpose, if it matters).

BATTLE SKILLS

Name: Hand of Creation
Type: Martial Arts Style/Passive
Class: Hand to Hand
Range: Self
Tier: I
Description: Originally formed from her family's mundane style, Hand of Creation is both more advanced than its predecessor and, thanks to Chakra's ability to mold reiryoku, possesses actual supernatural power. Drawing from the nature of the Five Elements, the style turns the building blocks of the world into tools for those attuned to its mysteries. Stances are extremely diverse, depending on which technique will flow from them, to the extent that only a practiced eye for martial arts is likely to agree that they have any similarity at all. Aside from allowing the use of the style's actual techniques, this passively permits the user to "flow" through natural (ie. non-power based) expressions of an element. A rockslide won't hurt Chakra (provided it wasn't the result of a technique), nor a natural fire, nor drowning. Dangerous elements simply wrap about and dissipate. Worked materials deliberately used to attack the subject bypass this, damaging her as normal.

Teaching Hand of Creation to a non-awakened individual is partially possible. Learning to use this technique is a long, involved process. At first, only the basic movements are taught (which aren't much good on their own). Then, the meaning starts to become clear as the esoteric nature of the training begins to nudge the Soul Sleep and Chain Link into greater activity. With time, patience and effort, a normal human can activate their reiatsu by learning this technique, although they will not immediately develop their own release.

Each technique possesses an elemental alignment (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Void). The style's corresponding techniques are as follows:


Name: Bone of Creation
Type: Offensive
Class: Hand to Hand
Tier: III
Range: Short (Contact)
Description: Mountains are like the bones of the world, enormous spires of rock to endure the ages and everything the world can throw at them. Taking a solid stance, Chakra channels this unbreakable nature into her body before unleashing it on something likely less sturdy. On innanimate objects, Chakra does heavy damage and increases the fragility of the target inanimate object by half (things like zanpactou and fullbring don't count), smashing through it with incredible force. Used on the ground itself produces a localized earthquake. Used on a living body (which doesn't trigger the weakening effect mentioned above), it is well suited to damaging bones and the like, reducing speed with each blow alongside its damage (x1 reduction per hit, max x2 reduced). The duration of the slowing effect lasts 5 post cycles from the most recent hit.

Name: Brand of Creation
Type: Offensive
Class: Hand to Hand
Tier: III
Range: 50m
Description: Aligned with Fire, this technique symbolizes the tenacity of Fire. If not put out, it will keep attack and attacking its target until it breaks through its defenses and consumes it. Brand of Creation sends sparks of heat and light flickering about the target's body. While not directly harmful, anyone with this technique feels their attacks drawn subtly to the target. Every time an attack misses, the sparks grow brighter and more energized, drawing such attackers more and more until either 5 post cycles pass or the subject is struck once. In essence, each missed attack makes the next more accurate. The ability is dispelled once contact is made, even if it's not damaging contact. This cannot guarentee a hit, it merely makes one more likely.

Name: Breath of Creation
Type: Offensive or Offensive/Binding hybrid
Class: Hand to Hand
Tier: II-IV
Range: 50m
Description: We never really question the air around us, do we? Not until it starts acting out, at any rate. Breath of Creation allows the user to seize control of localized air movements, pushing and pulling it. Speed and power are inversely proportional (as it takes a bit longer to move larger, more dense flows), with Tier II being bala speed, Tier III half that, and Tier IV moving at Cero's level. If the air is pulled in multiple directions away from an individual (which is a Tier IV use), this produces a painful asphixiation, binding a target with stolen flows of solidified air.

To command the air, one must not disrupt the air too greatly. Using a stepping technique instantly shatters Breath of Creation.

Name: Blood of Creation
Type: Offensive/Binding
Class: Hand to Hand
Tier: IV
Range: Direct Contact
Description: The world possesses massive amounts of water, intrinsic to life as humanity understands it. The body, curiously, mimics this. Humans, spirits and even monsters like hollows possess an unusually high ratio of water within them, mostly in the form of blood. When the user of this technique strikes, the flow of blood is momentarily (and painfully) disrupted harshly. Aside from the intense pain, minor internal damage is done as the veins and arteries within the body twist and break somewhat. A single strike is rarely lethal, but multiple hits with Blood of Creation may require hospitalization. The binding aspect of the technique comes from the two post cycles it takes for a target to get their blood moving steadily in the right direction again, making movement almost impossible. Blood of Creation cannot be used on the same target while they are still suffering from a previous use; the blood is already too chaotic to disrupt to any meaningful degree.

Name: Being of Creation
Type: Defensive
Class: Hand to Hand
Tier: III
Range: Self
Description: Still your heart, your thoughts and peer into the quiet silence that is the soul. It's not so different from the world, really. Take away distractions, and little separates people from places and places to ideas. Easing into a strange stance, Chakra begins to fade and vanish. For as long as she sustains the technique (up to 5 post cycles), she is no longer functionally there. She still exists, after a fashion, but in a place/state where she can not affect the real world, nor be affected by it. If she bothers to open her eyes, she simply finds herself in empty space filled with gray-white smoke. When she wants to return to normal, she simply releases the ability.

Name: Frozen World
Type: Stepping
Class: Stepping
Tier: I
Range: Long
Description: Chakra's personal stepping ability (while not in spirit form), Frozen World doesn't quite live up to its name, but Chakra finds it evocative and semi-catchy, so it stays. When active, the world around her seems to slow to a crawl (save for those using shunpo-equivelents, who appear to be move normally). This is a trick of perspective; the world's moving just fine, Chakra's simply moving much, much faster. It is mechanically identical to shunpo.

Name: Shunpo (Flash Steps)
Class: Stepping
Type: Stepping
Range: N/A
Tier: I
Description: A movement technique that allows the user to move extremely quickly over short distances. The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. Therefore what determines the level of skill in a user for Shunpo is best characterized by how fast one can get from A to B in the least amount of steps.

Smell colour and aesthetics.
