Name: Black Iron Creation
Type:Supplemental
Range: Short
Tier: III
Description: Black iron is created directly from reiatsu and as such the amount created dictates the cost. Black Iron can be created in Seran's body or outside of it, but it can only be created within ten feet of Seran's body. The process of turning reiatsu into black iron is not instant, though it is very fast, fast enough to form in order to block a swinging weapon (half-bala speed).
Name: Black Iron Manipulation
Type: Supplemental
Range: Long
Tier: II
Description: Using black iron in combat involves changing its shape to suit the need presented by the situation. Every time a black iron object is changed this technique is used. When black iron is formed it automatically takes the shape desired, but from then on whenever a it takes a new shape it costs energy. The shape of black iron can be just about anything, from weapons and equipment, to clothing and armor, to additional limbs, to forms such as plants, animals or even liquids. The form of black iron changes at bala speed.
Name: Black Iron Animation
Type: Manipulation
Range: Long
Tier: III
Description: Black iron can take any shape. However many of the shapes mentioned are useless unless they can move (Appendages, animal and plant shapes, liquid). Giving an object movement is basically the entire point of black iron animation. Once a black iron creation is animated it can be animated for seven posts. But this only applies to the way it is being manipulated. So for example, levitating and swinging a black Iron weapon costs reiryoku once, the same for if Seran made himself an additional limb and animated it to use it like the designed limb. But if he created a limb and animated it, but then wanted to change it into a weapon and levitate it, it would take reiryoku again.
Name: Black Iron forging
Type: Supplemental
Range: Short
Tier: IV
Description: Black Iron forging is the process of making an object made of black iron permanent. This process is costly and requires time and concentration so doing it in combat is ill advised. When supplied with enough energy, black iron will become a permanent material and can gain unique powers and properties. To do this, the object is created and then energy is supplied to it over the course of about 2min. Other beings can supply energy to help in this process. The properties the item gains are related to several factors: First the desires of those who supplied the energy, the type of item that is made permanent and finally the item assimilated through black iron assimilate. NOTE: ALL ITEMS CREATED IN THIS WAY MUST APPROVED THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
Name: Black Iron Assimilate
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Tier: IV
Description: Another useful creation ability revolving around Black Iron. When Black Iron is introduced to large amounts of energy it gains the ability to fuse with other materials. This fusion can take certain properties of the fused material and can have various uses. One of the most interesting is that it will not always change the substance. This means that if it is fused with a plant the plant will not always die in fact if could keep growing normally while gaining special properties from the black iron. If an item like a Zanpakuto is assimilated then created alloy will not keep the original items abilities but it will often gain new ones from the process. Note: Like black iron forging this ability is ill advised to use during combat. It can be used at the end of a combat topic to assimilate something from a defeated opponent. And again all things created through this process must be approved through the approval process. Materials made through this process are often used in black iron forging and individuals may give Seran materials for the forging process. NOTE: ALL ITEMS CREATED IN THIS WAY MUST APPROVED THROUGH THE APPROVAL PROCESS.
Name: Black Iron Consumption
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Tier: IV
Description: The next level of Seran's black iron abilities. While the first abilities( black iron forging/ assimilation) were designed to create equipment and weapons, this new ability is designed to increase Seran's spiritual ability arsenal. Black iron consumption is similar to black iron assimilate, with the major difference being that black iron consumption takes place inside Seran's body. The basis of the ability is simple: By eating certain materials Seran gains new spiritual abilities (THAT MUST BE APPROVED). When Seran eats a material it is assimilated by his black iron inside his body and then absorbed. The abilities gains are directly related to the material consumed and are then trained by Seran to make them complete. Note that this ability can not be used on materials owned or created by others unless forcefully taken in combat or given as gifts. All consumed materials must be obtained IC. Cannot be used on Zanpakutos.
Name: Black Iron Healing
Type: Healing
Range: Short
Tier: III
Description: This ability is an extension of Seran's other black iron abilities, mainly the Black Iron Assimilate and Black Iron Forging. Because of it's unique properties, black iron makes for a useful healing technique. How black iron is used for healing is simple: When someone is injured, with say, a cut. Seran puts black iron over the wound. He then assimilates the cells around the wound to make the black iron into said cells. He then uses these cells to replace the lost ones and therefore seal the wound. Cuts and bad bruising only takes two posts with deep lacerations taking four.
Name: Memory Link
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short (Requires direct contact with being or storage crystal)
Tier: I
Description: Memory link is a fairly basic ability revolving around the sharing of memories between two beings. Useful as both an interrogation and information sharing ability, this skill scans the memory center of the brain and transfers the information to another being, allowing them to experience the memory exactly as it happened. This ability can also be used against another being by forcefully scanning their mind with reiatsu when they are incapacitated or severely weakened. This ability can also store memories in special crystals created by Seran’s black iron so they can be transported to others without the need for the person sharing the memory to personally give the memory to everyone intended.
-This ability cannot be used on a character without OOC consent.
-Because these are memories, the shared memories cannot be falsified or manipulated, they will appear exactly as the user or victim remembers it.
-This ability cannot be used to instantly gain experience or instantly train techniques or masteries.
Name: Black Iron Portals
Type: Transportation
Range: Long
Tier: III
Description: Black Iron portals is a technique that creates portals for seran to use in combat and to travel between worlds. When created the portals take the form of small black orbs, roughly the size of a baseball. Two are required in order to move between them. These portals are permanent and can be given to others but can be destroyed if hit with a higher tier technique. They can also be manipulated by black iron animation. In order to move between worlds the orbs must be placed in either hueco mundo or soul society before they can be traveled too. When the portals are activated they instantly expand out into a disk and Seran can move between them or transport other people/objects/techs
Name: Essence Forge
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Tier: V
Description: Essence forge is a creation method developed by Seran after reaching the pinnacle of his black iron abilities. Black iron, he has officially concluded is his “Material Essence”. Material Essence, is a term created by Seran after studying the soul communication abilities of fullbringers. Soul communication teaches that all things have a soul regardless of whether animate or inanimate, and material essence is simply put: The physical form an animate soul would take if it were inanimate. For Seran this is black iron, which is to say that if he was an inanimate soul he would be black iron. Essense forging then, is the ability to extract the material essence of other beings and use it to make objects of great power.
Seran draws out a being’s material essence in much the same way as he creates his own black iron. The process can take hours, since he is materializing the essence on someone else. The person must channel their reiryoku into a ball between their hands. Once this is complete, Seran places his hand on the energy and extracts the material essence from the concentrated reiryoku. The material manifests inside the orb of reiryoku and once it has completely taken form the reiryoku is released. Depending on the form the material can then be used to create items. (These materials and items must all be registered and because of its complexity using it in combat is ill advised).
Name: Spiritual Insulation
Type: Supplementary/ defensive
Range: Supplementary
Tier: III
Description: Spiritual Insulation is an ability designed to make buildings sensory proof and if done in the human world also slightly spiritualizes the building, making it impossible for spiritual beings to phase through. This ability works by creating a spiritual membrane around the entire structure that sticks to it and rejects sensory abilities that try to penetrate it. A being must physically be inside the structure in order to sense those within, and even in that case the process can be done again on smaller scales to make individual rooms sensory proof. This ability is permanent once completed and can only be removed by those who know the ability or if the area that the ability was used gets destroyed. Because of the complexity of this process, this ability cannot be used in combat, and if the structure is damaged the seal breaks and the reiatsu of those within can be sensed. When physically in the presence of this structure, those with high enough spiritual senses (on par with Seran's creation level) will see a faint glimmer from the structure.
Name: Green Weaving
Type: Supplementary
Range: Medium (50m)
Tier: III
Description: Green weaving is a creation method revolving around spiritual plants. It was invented by Seran but can be used by anyone with basic creation skill. Green weaving involves feeding a plant reiryoku and manipulating the shape of the plant’s growth with that reiryoku. The process doesn’t give the plant any special properties, it merely causes the plant to grow in a certain shape. This ability is mainly used to obtain a part of a plant without killing it.
Name: Quick Draw
Tier III
Type: Supplementary
Range: Self
Description: A speed drawing technique for handguns. The user rests their hand at their sides near the weapon’s holster and with one movement draws and fires from the hip. Because speed is the primary function of this ability, shot taken from the hip will only be on target at short to medium range.
Name: Fanning
Tier III
Type: Offensive
Range: Medium
Description: A speed firing technique for single action revolvers. The user holds the gun in one hand with the trigger compressed and hits the hammer repeatedly with the opposite hand, cause the weapon to fire incredibly fast. A skilled practitioner can cause the six bullets come out almost instantly, making the weapon essentially automatic for a brief interval. At maximum speed accuracy is only on point at medium range.
ITEMS
Name: Zanpakuto
Type: Item
Range: Short
Tier: III
Description: A zanpakuto Seran obtained after killing a powerful hollow who had taken it from its former owner. Now the weapon has lost its former powers and is nothing more than an exceptionally well crafted katana.
Name: Seele Schneider
Type: Item
Range: Short
Tier: III
Description: The chainsaw-like quincy weapon given to Seran by Siku. The Seele Schneider is a thin, sword-shaped arrow. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw: the spirit particles of its blade vibrate at ultra-high frequencies, loosening the molecular bonds between any spirit matter it cuts. Seran cannot use this item in its current state.
Name: Alliance Sidearm
Type: Item
Range: Short
Tier: V
Description: The alliance sidearm is the standard issue weapon of the alliance. The weapon’s design is based off of the Quincy’s Seele Schneider and was designed and built by Seran after studying a Seele and modifying the design. Unlike a normal Seele that forms a chainsaw-like blade out of reishi, the Alliance Sidearm or AS uses both reiryoku and reishi to form the blade. The handle draws in the user’s reiatsu, and reishi from the area and combines them into katana style blade that extends from the handle. The appearance and length of this blade is slightly different for each user and takes the same color and texture as the user’s reiatsu. The blade of this weapon works identically to a normal seele. The high vibration of the blade’s edge loosens the bonds of spiritual particles and shreds reiryoku based abilities. However unlike a normal seele, which does this to allow the quincy to more easily gather reishi, this weapon absorbs the loosened reishi and shredded spiritual energy. This effect increases the strength of the blade beyond the capability of a normal seele.
Name: Jigokuchō
Type: item
Range: -
Tier: I
Description: Jigokuchō are the hell butterflies used by shinigami as guides through the Senkaimon. Seran obtained two of these creatures from Arashi and was able to breed a population of them to pollinate the plants within Las Noches. These Jigokuchō have maintained their abilities as guides and message carriers.
Name: Gigai 2x
Type: Item
Range: --
Tier: II
Description: The bodies used by shinigami to recover and interact with humans in world of the living. Seran has two: One that was his former vessel and a second on obtained from Arashi.
Name: Artificial Soul
Type: Item
Range: --
Tier: II
Description: An artificial soul pill used by shinigami to protect their gigai while they are in combat or otherwise engaged. Obtained from Arashi.
Name: Shigai (Body)
Type: Item
Range: --
Tier: III
Description: Shigai are the hollow version of gigai. Manufactured by Seran with his black iron, hollowfied spawning pool, and human blood samples, these bodies can be grown in the lab for use by humanoid Hollows and Arrancar. These bodies allow those races to take a human form and interact with non-spiritual humans in the human world. Being’s using these vessel can use all their abilities while occupying these bodies but they also have a special release mechanism in the chest of the shigai that when turned and pushed down, ejects the being within so they can use their spiritual body. In all other ways there bodies behave much in the same way as a normal gigai.
Name: Alliance Communicator
Type: Item
Range: Long
Tier: II
Description: Alliance Communicator is an enhanced reproduction of the shinigami’s Denreishinki. It was designed by Seran as the standard issue communication device for members of the alliance. It has all the properties of a normal cellphone and several other more useful spiritual properties. The AC is capable of cross world communication, allowing the Alliance contact regardless of what dimension they happen to be in. The AC has a GPS that functions regardless of which world the owner is located. The device also has a tracking feature for members of the alliance to find one another. This has an infinite range and other alliance member’s ACs can be pinpointed on the GPS, regardless of distance, as black dots with names above them (this feature can be turned off by the owner).
Name: Chameleon Suit
Type: Item
Range: Self
Tier: II
Description: The chameleon suit is another standard issue piece of the equipment for members of the alliance. In its base form it is a skin-tight, black jumpsuit that covers the entire body save for the head. Once it is equipped the suit can change shape to any type of clothing the user prefers. The suit also has a built in status system that is linked to the user’s AC. This allows their condition to be monitored by other members or the alliance. The suit tracks heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, and can even take a blood sample for analysis if the user is poisoned or any other foreign substance enters their body. The suit also tracks any damage dealt to the body of the user. But the most important function is the stealth mechanism. This mechanism alters the user's reiatsu to fit into their environment. If the user is in the human world, their reiatsu will feel human. If they are in Hueco Mundo, a hollow. Soul Society, a shinigami.
Name: Hollowfied Spawning Pool
Type: Item
Range: --
Tier: V
Description: The hollowfied spawning pool is a large bowl shaped indent in the floor of Seran’s laboratory. Inside this pool is a dark writhing liquid that changes between black and very dark variations of blue and red. This liquid, dubbed “Hollow Extract”, is created by removing the dominate soul or souls from a hollow and then using black iron assimilation to break down the remaining creature into a liquid form. Hollow extract is the liquefied form of hollow souls and it is used to create various items, mainly for hollow’s and hollow variants. It can also be used as a food source for hollows, as it is essentially liquid souls. Seran uses this as a food source for his black hounds.
Name: Las Noches Seeds
Type: Item
Range: --
Tier: I
Description: Seeds gathered from Las Noches before Seran left.
Name: Raiment of Subterfuge
Tier: VII
Range: Self
Description:
Link
Properties:
Anonymity - Completely removes the wearers reiatsu signature so long as they refrain from using activated spiritual abilities. If an ability is used the effect vanishes, reactivating after two posts without the wearer using spiritual abilities. While the user is shrouded they are unable to use their own reiatsu sensing abilities. While the wearer has the hood of the cloak up their face is cloaked in darkness and unrecognizable, along with their voice being distorted for the same purpose.
Breathless - While wearing this cloak any noise the user makes is silenced (excluding stepping), this ability does not affect noise the wearer wants others to hear, like their voice when addressing others. This ability is not cancelled when the wearer uses spiritual abilities.
Drift - Allows flight and midair movement while in any of the three worlds. Also coats the user is a special reiryoku membrane that allows them to on vertical structures and even of the ceiling of structures and move as normal. This can also be done it midair as the cloak generates solid reiryoku under the feet of the wearer while in the air.
Legion(IV) - Creates three cloth replicas of the user and garment. Because the cloak covers and obscures the wearer these cloth copies look identical to the main body, and because the copies form from the body of the original it is impossible to tell right away which one is the main body. These clothing "clones" have only one ability, which is movement mimicry, allowing them to copy the wearer's movement including stepping. They have no combat related abilities and once cut or struck they unravel and disintegrate. These clones last for five posts, after which they vanish. Once all the copies run out or are destroyed their is a two post cool down before the ability can be used again.
Name: Spider’s Bite
Tier: III
Range: Varied
Description: A wrist mounted device designed around dispersing various types of poison. Includes a retractable four inch hidden blade, a needle launcher with a medium range (4 shots), a pressurized mist sprayer with a short range (2 shots), and a single long range dart (1 shot). Each of these poisoning devices can be equipped with a single poison. All of these devices are silent.
Name: Paralytic Toxin
Tier: V
Description: A pale green liquid.
Properties: When injected into an opponent’s body, this toxin cuts off nervous system signals in the surrounding area, paralyzing it. When introduced through a normal cut or similar this toxin can paralyze an area the size of one limb. The more times it is introduced the stronger the effect becomes, with five or six cuts causing complete paralysis to the whole body. This also applies to more serious injuries, a cut to the neck or direct injection around the heart may cause complete paralysis in a single dose.
Name: Twin Dragons
Tier: V
Type: Item
Description: Two short cannons designed to fit concealed inside the forearms of Seran’s Black Golem Vessel. They are composed of Seran’s normal alloy of black iron and steel created the Hueco Mundo’s iron sand (Hueco Acero or Hollow Steel). Each of the twins can hold one round at a time, but can be reloaded so long as Seran has the ammunition to do so. When firing Seran points his palm at an opponent and opens a hole in the center before activating the cannon mentally with the black iron in his arm. When reloading the spent casing is ejected from the outside of the arm and the desired round is placed on the inside of the arm near the elbow, where the black iron that makes up the arm will envelope it and load it into the chamber.
Properties:
Overheat - As the twin dragons are firearms that use combustion, with each shot fired the cannons get hotter and with it the surrounding black iron of Seran’s arms. This has the unintended benefit of superheating Seran’s arms with each shot fired, causing them to burn whatever Seran touches for additional damage. Each time the cannon is fired one tier of heat is added to his arms, maxing at tier V heat after five shots. After three posts without firing the heat tier drops three tiers, and after four it cools down entirely. (Each of the cannons has its own separate heat)
Name: Black Shell
Tier: VI
Type: Item
Description: The standard ammunition for the twin dragons. A massive Hueco Acero(Hollow Steel) slug with black iron casing. The round basically looks like a black, oversized shotgun shell made of metal. The black shell also comes is buckshot variety, though the difference between the two types cannot be determined by eye. This item is ammunition, therefore the amount Seran has must be stated at the start of a thread.
Properties:
Slug - Not much to say. Upon activation fires the Hueco Acero slug in the direction Seran is aiming at Cero speed. This is fairly devastating if it hits, capable of tearing off a limb or doing severe damage to any part of the body it hits. It is also especially effective against physical objects and barriers, but less so against energy ones. The force of this round is also immense, so if the shell is blocked by a weapon or armor it is likely to knock the wielder off their feet.
Buckshot - For when you don’t feel like aiming. Upon activation fires a spread of Hueco Acero balls in a given direction at cero speed. Many more chances to hit the target, but lower damage per hit (flesh wounds), unless shot at point blank. This round is also incredibly weak against barriers, being stopped even by weaker ones especially at range.
Name: Dragon’s Breath Special
Tier: VII
Type: Item
Description: A specially created round for the twin dragons. This ammunition is twice as long as the black shell, bright red, and completely filled with a mix of spiritually infused black powder, ground up Ardiente Rubi (“On Fire Ruby” Material Essence of Taiki Yusuke), and Iracible Trastorno (“Volatile Personality” The Material Essence of Issac Endrim). This item is ammunition, therefore the amount Seran has must be stated at the start of a thread.
Properties:
Great Breath - Upon activation, fires a massive fount of red flame in the direction Seran points. This torrent is the size of a large scale cero and moves just as quickly, incinerating everything in the given direction. The kickback on this round is incredibly powerful, and will push Seran backwards regardless of how well he has braced himself, though this effect can be used to his advantage if used to propel him in a given direction. The flames this round disperses are not just simple fire either, much more akin to napalm thanks to the properties of Issac’s material essence, meaning it sticks to whatever it touches and continues burning long after Seran expends the round.
Name: Noxius Rex (Punishing King)
Tier: VII
Creation level: Specialized
Description: Seran’s first forged masterwork. An unparalleled weapon created from his compiled knowledge and resources. Noxius Rex is a colossal battleaxe, the head of which was forged from Seran’s weapon Mouretsu, the original axe Noxa, as well as the Zanpakuto Seran obtained from a powerful hollow. The haft of the weapon is made of Iron Wood grown from seeds Seran harvested from Las Noches, and the butt and shoulder are reinforced with Hueco Acero (Hollow Steel) and plated with Eleanor Lockwood’s Orichalcum (Alchemically Perfected Gold).
Properties:
=>Tier VII Durability and Sharpness
=>Vampiric Steel - Noxius Rex gained the former power of mouretsu in a magnified version. The weapon naturally draws in all blood in the surrounding area, sucking it out of open wounds on the battlefield, in essence doubling the blood loss from all injuries in the thread where the axe is present. This effect is further increased by injuries the weapon itself cause, draining three times the blood as would normally be lost.
=> Black Gate(III) - Noxius Rex can itself generate portals identical and connected to Seran’s black iron portals. This is done by lightly jabbing either end of the weapon into the space where the portal is desired, where it will open, vanishing after two posts.
=> King’s Will(V-Binding) - Seran motions in the direction of an opponent and red energy quickly engulfs their body (similar to Bakudo #9 Geki). The opponent is lifted into the air by this energy and thrown in the direction Seran indicates.
=>Reap(VII-Offensive) - Noxius Rex takes in a huge mass of energy from Seran, causing the metal parts of the weapon to begin releasing black smoke and hum with energy. From here the energy can be used one of three ways: Simply kept in the blade to increase striking damage, fired from one of the ends like a cero, or released in a slash-like wave (similar to getsuga).
Name: Black Iron Peacemakers
Tier: III
Range: Long
Description: Link. Hueco Acero (Hollow Steel) reproductions of the famous Colt Single Action Army or “Peacemaker”.
Properties:
=>Base Ammunition - This revolver holds six .45 calibre Hueco Acero Bullets with black iron casings. These bullets move at bala speed and have the penetrating power of a shikai , doing the type of damage you would expect from a bullet. They are ineffective against energy based barriers and similar defensive techniques. The Bullets count as ammunition and the amount a character has must be stated when entering a thread.
REIATSU FEATURES
Deep crimson in color, appears as steam coming off Seran's body. The feeling of reiatsu is dangerous, but not malevolent, like a wild animal that won't attack unless agitated. The signature smells lightly of iron when it is fully released.
Name: Sensory field
Type: Passive
Range: Medium
Tier: I
Description: The sensory field is an invisible field of reiatsu that always surrounds Seran. This field extends to twenty meters away from Seran’s body, and includes into the ground and through physical objects. Seran can sense the shape and movement of all things within this field, but not their composition or power.
