[ Physical Appearance ] As is normal with residents of the afterlife, despite having lived past two centuries, Hidane's physical appearance resembles that of a young, slender man in his late 20's or early 30's. He has long, black hair, some of which is bound in a long ponytail that hangs half-way down his back, the rest hangs down to and rests over his shoulders. He has a slim but muscular build and a light complexion with smooth, light skin. His right eye, the Onikamitomi [see ITEMS below], has a white iris with no visible pupil, and a scar running through it reaching from his forehead down to halfway between his eye and his chin, stopping just short of his mouth. His left eye, distorted by the Mark of Seran [see ITEMS below], has a red iris and small pupil covered by the mark, which appears as a snake with heads on each end coiled similarly to the eternal knot, with small crosshair-like markings around the iris in the whites of his eye. Since falling into a deeper connection with his Hollow, his physique and physical mannerisms have taken on a slightly more bestial nature, his movements a little more fluid and some traits in terms of how he presents himself resembling the beast inside a little more; for example, he keeps his fingernails relatively long and sharp, and his hair longer and unkempt other than binding some in his ponytail.
[ Outfit 1 ] Hidane's main attire that he wears in combat resembles that of an old Chinese uniform; he wears skintight black sleeveless shirt under a sleeveless black top similar to an old Chinese uniform, which has grey linings and is fastened shut near the collar and navel by two sets of three small silver rings. He wears slim black pants fastened by a belt that is mostly hidden by the vest-like top. On his feet he wears black socks with white sandals, a parody on what he would've worn with his Shihakusho as a Shinigami. He wears thin black bands around his wrists and, occasionally, tight black fingerless gloves seemingly made from a leather-like material on his hands. [See OUTFIT 1 above for reference for general style of it.]
[ Outfit 2 ] In more social situations, or generally when he is not expecting to find himself in combat, Hidane wears a robe-like coat over top of his primary outfit, a long, soft, flowing coat, mostly black with a thick white collar and dark purple-blue flame designs sewn into it. When Hidane dons his Hollow mask, should he still be wearing this coat when it happens, the collar is entirely covered by the extra material produced by his mask, and the flames on his coat glow a bright, brilliant sky blue. [See OUTFIT 2 for reference.]
In addition to this, sometimes when he is travelling in Hueco Mundo, he will wear a long, tattered hooded cloak over one or both of these outfits, the bottom seemingly ripped to shreds in the past, covering almost the entirety of his body. When in a Gigai, Hidane wears a wide variety of more modern casual clothing.
Since the completion of his mastery and acceptance of his Hollow powers, at most times Hidane keeps his Hollowfied left arm wrapped tightly with white bandages to avoid anyone coming under its effects unintentionally.

The Visored, the exile, the monster. Hidane is not one to be judged by first impressions, as he is quite horrible at those. Hidane’s outward persona often expresses little more than arrogance and a general disinterest, or rather lack of compassion, for others. To those who do not know him well, it might seem as though he is acting purely based on his own agenda, with no regard to those around him. He seems very confident in himself, often failing to take situations seriously, even when they clearly are, at least to others. He doesn’t interact very well at all with those he doesn’t already know on a personal level, and isn’t very good at introductions or reunions after a long time apart. To some extent, he believes himself above judgment, and that regardless of what happens, what he does is ‘right’.
At his core, Hidane believes in the equality and freedom of all beings to do as they please, though hypocritically that falls within certain boundaries. He believes in the natural law and order of the worlds, though despises war and pointless bloodshed, and thus seeks to change it, however he hopes to do so as peacefully as possible. He acts as a wandering soothsayer and advisor for those with spiritual powers, regardless of their race, should they be willing to listen. He carries in his morals only one absolute rule: that one should not be looked down upon or hunted only for what they are by race. The inner soul is of more value than the exterior; anyone with a good heart and ambition to make the world a better place is not an enemy deserving to be cut down. Hidane tends to attempt to help others to reach their potential and discover what they desire in life, even if it goes against his own goals and desires, though he doesn’t respond with violence unless he finds that one’s goals lead to pointless death and destruction, or that the results may threaten those he cares about.
To Hidane, family, friends, and loved ones mean everything. For them he would give his life and anything else he could drag along with it if necessary. Those who have remained close, who have not disappeared from his life, could be considered the only anchor he has to his remaining sanity after being exiled from Soul Society and seeing so much misfortune surrounding others he has come to care about and feel close with. To these close friends and family alone, he shows great compassion and love, and a much calmer and warmer persona, only ever otherwise seen when he is alone. To these few people, and only on very rare occasions others who make him feel safe, does he open his heart and makes himself most vulnerable in mind. He considers his loved ones his reason for living, his reason for continuing on the path he has decided for himself.
As such, when something comes along that threatens the safety of those he loves, even more so than a threat to himself, Hidane tends to lose himself and display symptoms of dissociation, better known as multiple personality disorder, wherein his outward persona takes on a much darker, more sadistic tone. When it comes to this persona, Hidane has no problems with ending a problem by any means necessary, regardless of cost to himself. He has shown very violent and merciless tendencies in this state, and believes himself to be ridding the world of great evil in doing what he does, which in many cases tends to be basically true. However, even in this state he will occasionally show some form of mercy, in leaving those who have threatened his security and the safety of his loved ones in a state of helpless suffering or unable to ever accomplish that which they set out to do.
This state is a rare occurrence, however, and for the most part, whether showing his arrogant facade or his more compassionate side, he can clearly be labeled an upstanding character, seeking to protect anybody and everybody he can, taking the weight of the world on his own shoulders. However, in Resurrección form this line is blurred once more, though not to such an extreme as when his loved ones are threatened. In this form, as he delves deeper into his Hollow powers, a more detached, curious side of his personality comes out; he becomes notably less compassionate towards others, generally not seeing life as as much of a “precious” thing as he does normally. His general intellect seems to be affected as well, as sometimes his reactions to objects or people can be described as expressing a primitive curiosity, as if he doesn’t understand many things that he otherwise would. In this form he is much more likely to solve a problem by violence, bloodshed, and even death, and as such he will often opt to enter this form unnecessarily when he feels that a solution as such may be necessary.
As a Visored, Hidane's time since leaving Soul Society has not treated him well, leading him to experience loss more so than many could understand. Being branded an enemy for (in his opinion) no good reason to all of those whom he once called comrades… friends and allies disappearing and falling out of touch, or dying right before his eyes… becoming more deeply synchronized with the Hollow in him... two decades of brooding on these events has brought out a darker side of Hidane's general persona, causing the Visored to close off his heart to outsiders and take on a slightly more ruthless nature. He is less forgiving of mindsets or actions that he strongly opposes, and, due to the influence of his Hollow, is more likely to resort to violence to resolve issues than he would have been in the past. At his core he is still the same person as he was, just with a darker, more violent edge.
NAME: Fiamme Dell'abisso [Flames of the Abyss] CLASS: Mask Control TIER: III-VII TYPE: Offensive / Defensive RANGE: 100 Meter reach DESCRIPTION: Using this ability, while Hidane wears his Hollow mask, he may imbue the air around him with his Reiryoku, setting it alight with black-and-blue flames. He may freely form these flames freely within a 50 meter radius of himself, and manipulate the ignited winds freely to suit his needs in battle, using them as ranged attacks or defenses as well as to amplify his physical capabilities in hand-to-hand combat, all within a 100 meter radius. These flames will not hurt Hidane should they come in contact with him, though they will burn anyone he thinks of as a target and carry the raw power of the Tier the technique is used at, making it potentially a very potent form of both offense and defense.
This technique has a wide range of functions. Some of these functions include coating his body or part of it in flames to improve damage dealt or defensive capabilities in melee combat, sending out simple projectiles, sending out streams of the flames to annihilate enemies, forming the flames into a large sphere for defensive or offensive purposes, and hardening the flaming Reiryoku into weapons or other forms of equipment. These are only a few examples, however, as the technique could be used in a nearly infinite number of ways.
The flames act according to Hidane's will, and may either move as a whole or split into more intricate currents to suit Hidane's needs; neither of these methods takes much effort, requiring only for Hidane to produce the flames and will them to do as he needs.
NAME: Parasitus [Parasite] CLASS: Mask Control (Corruption Grand Perk) TIER: I TYPE: Passive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION:Parasitus, Hidane's Corruption, takes the form of his left arm. The skin becomes black, but the structure stays mostly the same, with the only notable change being that his fingers become sharp like claws and his elbow is more sharp and angular than rounded. The Hollowfied arm gains Hierro durability from his Ress, matching mastery level to his Soul Resilience mastery.
Due to the nature of Hidane's Corruption, Exactis is the only technique associated with it that incurs a cooldown, one which affects the other two stages as well in some conditions.
NAME: Stage I: Pecus [Cattle] CLASS: Mask Control TIER: II-VII TYPE: Passive/Defensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: The first stage of the effects of Hidane's Corruption causes anyone touched by this technique to be marked as a target for this ability. Marked targets are slowly drained of spiritual energy. This takes no particular effect on the victim unless they are particularly low-rank or are exposed to the ability for a prolonged period of time. The drained energy is temporarily stored in the arm, slowly rising in strength as it is collected. Hidane does not need to remain in contact with the target(s) after marking them for these effects to continue, and, as in most cases the effects are negligible on the target(s) side, it can largely go unnoticed what is actually happening.
Arm Growth: As Reiryoku is collected, if Hidane is not in Resurreccion form, his arm begins to grow as energy is collected. At Tier II collected, Hidane's arm remains at its normal size; as more energy is collected, his arm gradually grows until it reaches 2.5x its original size at Tier VII Reiryoku collected. When outside of Resurreccion form, at Tier VI or above Hidane suffers a 0.5x (half) speed debuff until the energy is returned to lower levels via Sanguinem or Exactis, and thus his arm returns to normal size, and is unable to use Stepping techniques while this debuff is in effect.
Energy Collection: Passively, the amount of Reiryoku stored by this technique always starts at "Tier I", and grows by one Tier per post for every target marked (i.e. if two people are marked, it would rise by two tiers per post). This technique can also be used as a defensive mechanism to instantly absorb spiritual projectile attacks, providing an instantaneous boost to the Tier level of the stored energy depending on the Tier level of the technique absorbed. (Equal or lower Tiers to the Tier level collected will result in a 1-Tier boost, anything higher will will bring the amount collected up to the Tier of the technique absorbed.)
If Exactis is used at Tier V or higher, energy absorption will be limited to Tier III until its cooldown has run its course.
NAME: Stage II: Sanguinem [Blood] CLASS: Mask Control TIER: II-VII TYPE: Supplementary/Defensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: At any point in time during Stage I, Hidane may choose to activate Stage II, where the energy collected merges with his arm (or entire body if in Resurreccion state) and will begin to burn off through the effected area. The effected are will receive constant durability equal to the energy level collected in a manner similar to Hierro, nullifying techniques below the active Tier level, as well as a strength boost applied to the affected area appropriate to the Tier level collected [x4 for Tier V and above, x3 for Tier III-IV, x2 for Tier II-III] for the duration of this stage. Each post this stage is active after activation causes the energy level store to drop by one Tier, and thus, the effects (Tier durability and the strength buff) drop appropriately [i.e. if the Tier level drops from V to IV, the strength buff drops from x4 to x3]. Other than by activating Exactis, the third stage of Hidane's Corruption, this stage cannot be cancelled in the middle, and run its course until either Exactis is used or the Tier level stored returns to "zero" [Tier I]. This stage will automatically be activated if the Tier level of energy stored by Stage I reaches Tier VII. This stage gives off a visible cue in the form of steam rising from any effected areas, be it his arm outside of Resurreccion form or his entire body otherwise.
The Corrupted arm's natural state is to have Hierro-durability, thus this technique's effects only become apparent when the absorbed energy reaches a level that surpasses Mastered Hierro (i.e. Tier IV and above).
NAME: Stage III: Exactis [Expulsion] CLASS: Mask Control TIER: II-VII TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 meters DESCRIPTION: At any point during Stage II, Hidane may choose to suddenly expel all of the remaining stored energy as either a focused, Cero-like beam, or as a more widespread shrapnel-like spray attack, either of which strikes at the power level of the Tier level remaining between Stage I and Stage II. Once used, stored energy is returned to "Zero", or Tier I, and energy will resume being collected from infected victims. Tier IV or higher will incur a cooldown appropriate to the Tier, before which Pecus may not store more than Tier III level energy.
NAME: Necrosis CLASS: Mask Control TIER: III TYPE: Passive RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: The inner edge of the claws on Hidane's left hand are permanently lined with a gelatin-like layer of his blood. Should even a single claw's blood layer touch the skin of another, a small portion of the blood will be injected into the victim's bloodstream, infecting them with a watered-down version of his Resurreccion's Necrosi disease. From the point of contact, the Reishi of a victim's body will begin to convert into black, cancerous cells that weaken their natural defenses, nullifying Spiritual Potency, Soul Resilience, Hierro, and Blut in the affected area. This area will spread from any point of contact at a rate of 5cm per post. After a target has been afflicted for five or more posts, they suffer an overall 0.5x strength debuff. After a victim has been afflicted for ten or more posts, they also suffer an overall 0.5x speed debuff. In Resurreccion form, the claws on both hands are lined with the blood gel, and the blood cells injected into victims can be manipulated just like any other cell of his.
REIATSU CONTROL
REIATSU FEATURES
When unleashed, Hidane's Reiatsu takes on the form of a thin black mist coating any surfaces within the affected area. This mist does little to nothing to obscure vision, however, and smells strongly of rotten flesh, despite his mostly peaceful nature.
HOLLOW TECHNIQUES
* only usable in Resurreccion form
NAME: Regeneración de Velocidad Alta [High Speed Regeneration]* CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: I TYPE: Passive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: Powerful Hollows have been shown to possess incredible powers of regeneration, specifically at the adjuchas class. This ability allows for the regeneration of most body parts with the exception of vital organs and the head itself. The ability is dependent on reiatsu and cannot be maintained indefinitely, likewise, one cannot completely regenerate from fatal wounds unless give uninterrupted time to fully recover the damage dealt.
Instant – Minor scraps and bruises. 1 Post – Cuts, bad bruising 2 Posts - Deep lacerations, broken bones 3 Posts - Organs, Limbs
NAME: Masui [Deep Slumber] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: I TYPE: Binding RANGE: 20 Meters DESCRIPTION: After having encountered multiple Shinigami infected with Hollow Reiatsu as he once was, Masui is a technique that Hidane developed to suppress the target's Reiatsu to extremely low levels, causing them to fall unconscious. He primarily uses this technique to indirectly induce Hollowfication in a Shinigami in the process of becoming a Visored. Rendering the victim's Reiatsu so low makes it far more likely for the Hollow to begin to take over, thus initiating the Visored Trial; this technique does not directly induce Hollowfication. However, initiating Hollowfication is not the only use for this technique. This technique requires that Hidane be completely focused, and thus it cannot be used in combat. The use of this technique, on an infected Shinigami or otherwise, requires OOC consent of the person RPing the target.
NAME: Ahueque Llamas [Hollow Flames] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: Gathering reiatsu to either their mouths or palms, the user is able to set out reiatsu flames, in a way equally to a flame thrower that are able to cause burns on the target and travels at half bala speeds.
NAME: Explosión Sónica [Sonic Blast] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 25 Meters DESCRIPTION: Gathering reiatsu into the whole body, the user forces the gathered reiatsu out of the body forcefully, into a burst out manner, that is able to form a sonic blast, traveling at Half Bala speeds, at a 360 degree area around them, making the ground crack and damaging from the force anyone in range.
NAME: Misil [Missile] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: Gathering reiatsu on the hand, the user can fire off five different reiatsu missiles, at a size equal to arrows. As the missiles are fired off, they will fly, at half bala speeds, in a wide area, before meeting together on the targeted area and exploding on a two yards range.
NAME: Oscuridad Devorando [Devouring Darkness] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Defensive/Offensive RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: Using this technique, an Arrancar or Vizard may open a miniature Garganta (circular and roughly two to three feet in diameter) in front of an open palm or at the tip of their Zanpakutou. This technique may be used at a moment's notice to swallow small to medium-sized projectile attacks into the void beyond. This technique is generally used as a shield against small-medium projectile attacks or some melee attacks, depending on the size of the portal opened. The user may also open a second, simultaneous portal with this technique; while the second portal is open, any attacks that are thrown into one portal will instantaneously come out of the other with proportionate speed and direction to how they entered the first, thus allowing the user to fire an enemy's attacks back at them or otherwise redirect an attack in another direction.
[OOC: This technique may -not- be used to effectively destroy any release-centric items (Zanpakuto, Fullbring items, sealed Dolls, etc.) or entire OC characters.]
NAME: Perpetuo [Perpetual] CLASS: Hollow Techniques TIER: III TYPE: Defensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: This technique utilizes the user's Reiryoku to create a small to medium area within which the user will momentarily have complete control over all kinetic energy. Using this technique, the user may freely increase or decrease kinetic energy within the space, giving them complete control over the movement of all physical or spiritual matter or energy that are within the space or enter the space. This technique can be used to rapidly accelerate or decelerate the user's movement by propelling a limb or their entire body in one direction or another, to change the speed or direction at which an enemy is moving or directing an attack to throw them off balance or to create an opening for other attacks, or to create a sudden explosion in kinetic energy from a small point, resulting in a shock wave capable of pushing enemies back a fair distance (roughly 50 meters at the most, though at the cost of also catching the user with the shock wave if one is not careful). These are, of course, just a few ways in which the technique can be utilized, and does not encompass the entire potential of the technique.
NAME: Repulsión [Repulse] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: Thrusting a limb toward the target, it sends a force of suppressed reiatsu that pushes the target back.
NAME: Rugido [Roar] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 25 Meters DESCRIPTION: Many hollows have been known to give off a recognizable roar or scream before attacking. For the most part, this just seems to announce their presence and intimidate the prey they stalk, but for some hollows this roar can cause far more damage than simple intimidation. A hollow with this ability can scream with enough power to cause a shock-wave of sonic force, traveling at Cero Speeds, strong enough to crack the earth around it and force opponents of equal or lesser rank backwards, injuring their hearing and sense of balance.
NAME: Yamigarandō [Dark Void] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: III TYPE: Defensive RANGE: 30 Meter Radius DESCRIPTION: Hidane spreads his Reiatsu out over a wide field around him with a radius of about 30 meters, with him at the center. He then condenses the Reiatsu into a massive field of black fog, in which the Reiatsu he, or anyone else within the fog, directly gives off disappears. Other spiritual beings can only pinpoint his location in the smog if they are two ranks higher than him (while in the smog), and beings equal to his rank and up can make an assumption that is within 10 meters of being correct from outside the fog. A spiritual with 3+ Advantages over Hidane may completely suppress the fog with their Reiatsu, ending the technique's effect on anyone in the area. This ability lasts for up to seven posts unless Hidane decides to end it.
While other spiritual beings are in the fog, the black fog Reiatsu gains a tendency to cling to them. This effect does not apply to Hidane. Once the Reiatsu has begun to cling to a spiritual being, Hidane's hidden Reiatsu appears to cling to them, making the Reiatsu signal they give off stronger by percentage of Hidane's Reiatsu given while not actually making the victim stronger. This part of the technique's effect does not affect enemies with 2+ Advantages over Hidane.
Once the Reiatsu has begun to cling to a being, their Reiatsu becomes easily locatable by all spiritual beings that are capable of doing so. This can confuse beings who do not understand the inner workings of this technique into attacking allies or enemies other than Hidane. Unfortunately, Hidane cannot sense the Reiatsu of others inside of or outside of this field, so he can determine no better who he is attacking and cannot locate other beings within the fog until the Reiatsu has clung to them.
The dark fog blocks all visibility of beings outside trying to look in. While inside the fog, visibility is limited to three yards, making dodging attacks extremely difficult. Only a combatant with very high reflexes would be capable of fighting to their fullest extent within the fog. Long-ranged Reishi-based attacks (such as Kido or a Quincy's arrow) momentarily clear a 1-yard radius around the attack, the clearing remaining for no longer than one whole post.
NAME: Desaparecer [Disappear] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Defensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: The hollow's answer to a Shinigami’s detection devices and skills. The user of this technique coats themselves with a coat of energy that is meant to disguise their presence, While in this cloak of invisibility and reiatsu disguising, the user is unable to utilize their stepping technique or any other technique for that matter.
NAME: El Sable De Piel [The Saber of Skin] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: Charging reiryoku onto a limb, a blade of energy protrudes directly from that extremity. It has the sharpness of a tier 4 weapon, and can cause major lacerations upon contact. This technique can last up to 6 posts.
NAME: Ensombreza Huelga [Shadow Strike] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: <5 Meters DESCRIPTION: Gathering reiatsu onto a limb, it can be utilized as a weapon. Upon contact, the gathered energy exerts focally onto the opponent, stunning the opponent's muscles and locking them wherever the user hit for one post. The locking of the muscles additionally flares the nerves, causing extreme levels of discomfort and pain.
NAME: La Doncella Cristal [Maiden's Crystal] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 30 Meters DESCRIPTION: Expressing their reiryoku into the air, the user begins to crystallize water particles in the air, creating floating masses of ice shards. The longer that target is within the area of effect, the slower the opponent becomes due to the chilling of their muscles and nerves. At equal advantage, the user can lower the opponent's speed by 3 times. This also makes it really difficult for the opponent to breath while within the reach of this technique.
NAME: Rasgar [Tear] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 30 Meters DESCRIPTION: Concentrating Reiryoku at an end point of a strike sends a blast of energy, similar to bala however larger and much stronger. The technique travels at cero speeds, and causes deep laceration damage against opponents of lower advantage.
NAME: Sobre Explosión [Overblast] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 20 Meters DESCRIPTION: Gathering a kind of...semi transparent, pulsating 'grenade' in either the throat or the hand over the course of a post, when it is completed, the user then fires it towards the target at the speed of a Cero. When it makes impact, it detonates in a large, shaky explosion of reverberating bass waves, sounding almost like a dub-step drop. This can shatter glass and crack concrete with the force of the frequency. In living creatures, this induces bleeding of the ears, disorientation, as well as impact damage as a result of the shock wave.
NAME: Aliento de Fuego [Breath of Fire] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: Taking in a deep breath, the Arrancar or Hollow exerts a stream of fire larger than their own body that accelerates to the speed of Cero. Once making contact with an opponent, the entire stream of fire surrounds and engulfs the target, causing up to second degree burns to the opponent when at an advantage.
NAME: Hilo de Pena [Threads of Sorrow] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 25 Meters DESCRIPTION: The user protrudes nearly invisible threads of reiryoku and attempts to attach them to a target. If successful, the user can then directly send their reiryoku directly through the threads and cause severe amounts of pain and discomfort enough to numb and stun the nerves and muscles. After the initial post of this pain, the follow post will numb the opponent, making them oblivious to any wounds they will receive. Once the numbing is gone, all pain will register once again. This technique has a four post cooldown.
NAME: Marca de los Condenados [Mark of the Damned] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: Melee/Long DESCRIPTION: Through charging this technique, a small glyph appears in the palm of the user's hand, glowing softly with the color of the user's Reiatsu. Once the technique is fully charged, a target may be "tagged" with the mark, at which point the glyph will move from the user's palm to the point of contact against an enemy's skin or equipment and the duration of the technique will begin. The glyph will turn anything it is attached to into a bomb of active Reiryoku and explode once the duration of five posts has run out, meaning that the 'marked' has five posts to remove the glyph through some means (removing and abandoning a piece of equipment the mark is left on, cutting off the mark, etc.) or risk severe, likely fatal injuries. The user of the technique may also remove the mark at will should they choose to, and killing the user of the technique also removes the mark without triggering the explosion.
NAME: Obisidiana Látigo [Obsidian Whip] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: The user focuses Reiatsu and spirit energy into their dominant hand, and forms that Reiatsu into an ebony black whip engulfed in black flames. It consumes energy as long as it is like this. The whip can be used at any time, it is basically another weapon. It is activated by carving reiatsu into a usable form via spirit pressure. It is easy for Arrancar, but stronger hollow and menos may be able to use it as well depending on their level. The whip's black flames do not burn what they touch. Whatever gets hit by the crack of the whip explodes at the strength of a tier IV technique. The explosion covers 10 radial meters at the point of contact. The whip travels at cero speeds. Can last up to five posts
NAME: Oscuridad Vinculante [Binding Darkness] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Binding RANGE: Melee, up to 50 meters after bound DESCRIPTION: The user's hand becomes enveloped in black Reiryoku. This technique is activated by either touching the target directly with the enveloped hand, or capturing them by shooting out the Reiryoku from the hand in the form of five three-inch bandage-like strips that aim to wrap around the target. The bandage-like strips move at Cero speeds in an attempt to constrict the target. Either way, should the technique successfully capture the opponent, these black bandages of Reiryoku will wrap around the target and bind them tightly, wrapping and securing most of their body as tightly as possibly without cutting off vital bodily functions. The binding may include a strip over the target's mouth, if the target wants to silence them for the duration of the binding. From the moment of releasing the bandages, the technique may last up to five posts, whether it be for the bandages pursuing their target or the binding holding together, assuming the victim doesn't find a way to break out of the bindings.
NAME: Relampago de Clavar [Striking Lightning] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: The user exerts their reiryoku into the sky, creating a formation of lightning clouds. The clouds hang about 100 meters above the user, and at will, can call upon up to four bolts of lightning per post that travel at the speed of cero. Each bolt is capable of causing damage of a tier IV technique. This technique has a duration of up to five posts.
NAME: Trueno Poderoso [Mighty Thunder] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: The Arrancar or hollow will charge their arm with Reiatsu, and attract electrons to it. The Arrancar or hollow will then fire the stored Reiatsu and swarming electrons at an opponent, in the form of a bolt of lightning. This can be done with punches, snaps of the fingers, and other means. Travels at Cero Speeds.
NAME: Armamento [Armament] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: V-VI TYPE: Summoning RANGE: <5 meters DESCRIPTION: Using this technique, the user can create a wide variety of melee weapons within arm's reach out of their Reiryoku. The weapons will take on the physical characteristics of a translucent, dark red crystal material, and have the durability and sharpness/strength of the Tier used to summon them, and can block attacks up to and equaling their power and Tier at equal advantages. The weapon(s) created by this technique can vary greatly, including (but not limited to) swords, axes, spears, and bladed knuckles. Virtually any short range or melee weapon can be made with this technique, given basic knowledge of the structure and functionality of the weapon. These weapons may retain their form and durability for four (Tier VI) or five (Tier V) posts, but can be broken down sooner to avoid longer cooldowns in desired.
NAME: Aplastante de Montaña [Crushing Mountain] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: VI TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: Hitting the ground with a super charged strike causes spires to erupt from the ground all around the opponent. The traveling reiryoky creates cracks on the ground as it travels at cero speeds. The spires of earth and rock begin to encompass the opponent, circling at the same speed attempting to trap them as they close in. If the opponent doesn't escape within the post, the pillars collide together, crushing and breaking the opponent's bones.
NAME: Escudo [Shield] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: VI TYPE: Defensive RANGE: 5 Meters DESCRIPTION: This technique was specifically made for Arrancar and for Vizard who have over Advanced control over their Inner Hollow. For Vizard with a non-Mastered Control this will be hard to ignite and maintain. While the user moves their hand forward in a square like motion, they create this shield. The shield will maintain the reiatsu color of the caster. The user the ignites their Reiatsu manifested strongly into this shield, powering up fully a long seven foot long, four feet wide square shield. This Shield is only as strong as the user may be. This Shield will start to power down after a time limit of 4 posts.
NAME: La Piel Resbala [The Skin Slips]* CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: VI TYPE: Defensive/Offensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: An extremely advanced, but very useful Hollow technique. This technique can only be performed by Hollows with high speed regeneration and Advanced Hollow Techniques. The user essentially rips off a single layer of skin with reiryoku, and slips away at high speeds. The true beauty of the technique lies in the extreme speed of execution, with this technique being capable of dodging even point blank Cero by ditching a layer of skin and allowing the user to slip away. However, once the empty skin has been escaped from, it actually explodes with the force of a Cero, causing rather high damage to anyone within a 30 meter radial vicinity.
NAME: Rebotar [Ricochet] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: VI TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: This technique is usable by Hollows, Arrancar, and Vizards. It focuses a large amount of energy at a single point on the user's body and then releases it as a two-inch-thick beam of energy that can travel at the speed of a Cero, but only in straight lines. The user may choose to have the tip of the beam change the direction it moves in up to five times, though the user must remain still enough that release point of the technique does not move at all. A sphere of energy (1 foot in diameter) will form at the base of the beam (where exactly it is fired from). The beam and sphere both appear pitch black in color, but glow with a bright purplish energy. The user must be ranked ML-A or higher to learn this technique. The power of the technique varies based on the power of the user.
Hollows may fire the beam from a point just in front of their open mouths, while Vizards and Arrancar have the optional alternatives of basing it from any point on the blades of their Zanpakutou. An Advanced or Master user of Hollow Techniques may fire the beam from the tips of their fingers.
NAME: Regurgitación [Regurgitation] CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: VI TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 20 Meters DESCRIPTION: As a Hollow consumes a vast quantity of spiritual energy, so thus they can use it as a weapon if put into a situation of extreme danger. Available to use only once a battle, a hollow using this technique can forcibly regurgitate the soul energy they have recently consumed in an explosive burst of reiatsu capable of severely injuring any opponents within a close range of the technique user. The ability manifests as a short-ranged and widely shaped cone of pure destructive reiatsu. The hollow must have consumed within the same thread in order to use this technique.
CERO & BALA
NAME: Bala [Hollow Bullet] CLASS: Cero/Bala TIER: I TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: A weaker but quicker alternative to regular Cero blasts. The technique hardens the user's spiritual pressure and fires it at around twenty times the speed of a Cero.
Hidane's Bala resemble purplish-blue spears of Reiryoku; they appear as long, thin shafts with sharp diamond-shaped heads on the front end, almost like arrows, but larger and longer.
NAME: Cero [Hollow Flash] CLASS: Cero/Bala TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive Range: 100 Meters Description: Are high-powered energy blasts that can be fired from various places on the body. Only Menos, Arrancar, and Vizard have so far been shown to use Cero attacks, and it appears that stronger entities can use it more efficiently.
Hidane's Cero appears a deep purplish-blue in color, with a thin black aura appearing at its edges as if sucking light in from around it.
NAME: Gran Rey Cero [Royal Hollow Flash] CLASS: Cero/Bala TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters TIER: VI DESCRIPTION: A more powerful version of Cero, as it requires blood from the user and then forming a ball of reiatsu equaling the reiatsu color and strength of the caster as it's capable of doing massive damage from such a blast. In Las Nochas , the power of the technique is such that it warps the space around the point it was fired from. Only characters of HL-A rank at least can perform such a powerful cero.
Hidane's Gran Rey Cero appear completely white in color with an off-black red aura similar to the black aura around his basic Cero.
STEPPING
NAME: Sonido [Resounding Revolution] CLASS: Stepping TIER: I TYPE: Stepping RANGE: N/A DESCRIPTION: Is the Arrancar equivalent of the Shinigami flash steps; it allows the user to travel at incredibly high speeds for short distances. Use of Sonido is punctuated by a brief static sound, in contrast to the "swish" sound used for Shunpo.
NAME: Narisumashi [Masquerade] CLASS: Stepping TIER: V TYPE: Stepping Variant RANGE: 20 Meters DESCRIPTION: This is Hidane's primary Step variant. Called "Masquerade", his steps reach speeds where he seems to make clones of himself. His step carries himself at speeds where his physical form may take action from multiple locations. Using this, he can make it appear as though several of him are walking about in the area, not a single 'clone' capable of being distinguished from any other clone or the original. This is only one of Hidane's favored uses for the technique, though, and this use is only a diversionary tactic. With multiples of him walking about, the enemy will have to try to figure out which one is him, and he can easily dodge should they choose one to attack.
His main use of the technique, though, comes in for attacking; through his step, Hidane is capable of making each 'clone' take on rather complex movements, making each clone move in for an attack from different angles on an opponent. Only one may connect, though, and due to his movement speeds he can easily choose which 'clone' will perform the real attack, even at the last moment. This can be a very useful attack method, as it becomes nearly impossible for his opponent to predict which attack will actually hit and thus defend accordingly.
The speed of the technique is quite incredible; Hidane moves at speeds that can cause him to manage up to three 'clones' (meaning there would seem to be three of him moving around) moving at normal, out-of-Shunpo speeds. Any additional 'clones', though, will result in a 10% speed reduction per 'clone'.
Due to the nature of this technique, it can only be sensed easily by two ranks above, and can be sensed with some effort or basic understanding of the technique's effects by someone one rank above with advanced or mastered Reiatsu Control or Step.
HAND-TO-HAND
NAME: Tesshō [鉄掌, "Iron Palm"] CLASS: Hand to Hand Technique TIER: V TYPE: Offensive RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: Tesshō is completely reliant on the user's physical strength without any use of spiritual, and because of that is powered simply by a thrust of the arm. By thrusting forwards or downwards with the flat of their palm, the user of Tesshō has the ability to crush anything it comes into contact with, and if hit in the head can shatter through just about any resistance, including up to Advanced Hierro.
WEAPON SKILLS
NAME: Nodokasuto [Calm Strike] CLASS: Weapon Skill TIER: II TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: This is a simple technique that releases a quick charge of Reiryoku through the user's blade as they swing their weapon. This can be used with any weapon, though is mostly used with sword-type weapons. The result is that the strength of the swing is increased slightly, and a brief, piercing shockwave is released in the direction of the swing. This is mostly used for show or for clearing away smoke, though the shockwave can cause significant damage to weak physical structures or significantly weaker opponents.
NAME: Susamajisuto [Fierce Strike] CLASS: Weapon Skill TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: This is a stronger version of Nodokasuto, able to cut through sturdy physical structures and cause more significant damage to opponents one rank below and even some damage to equal ranked opponents.
NAME: Isshunsaku [to cleave in an instant] CLASS: Weapon Skill TIER: VI TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 5 meters DESCRIPTION: Using this technique with any sword-type weapon sheathed, the user draws the weapon with incredible force to unleash a single strike in the blink of an eye, capable of cleaving through most anything with Tier VI power. The speed and power of the strike produce a flat-line shockwave that extends the reach of the strike by five meters from the point of the blade, making anything within a five-meter radius in front of the user in a wide arc subject to bifurcation should they fail to dodge.
ITEMS & EQUIPMENT
ITEM NAME: Kidō Book TIER: I TYPE: Item RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: A Kido book Hidane has kept since leaving the Gotei 13. Shortly prior to leaving he received an edition only missing Forbidden and Restricted Kidō from the acting Taichou of the Kyūbantai. Though he can no longer use Kidō per say, he intends to study it and recreate some of its techniques.
ITEM NAME: Asauchi [Shallow Hilt] TIER: II TYPE: Item RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: A Zanpakutō Hidane attained during his time in the world of the living that has since lost its bond with its previous owner. It is an average-length katana, and retains the durability and cutting power of a sealed Zanpakutō.
ITEM NAME: Onikamitomi [Eye of the Demon God] TIER: I TYPE: Item RANGE: N/A DESCRIPTION: The Onikamitomi is an artificial, Reishi-infused eye that was crafted and surgically implanted in place of Hidane's right eye after he had lost his right eye in combat with the Arrancar Dyo Kagoshima. It is connected to his optic nerves, and thus passively functions as a normal eye. Its appearance is that of a normal eye, with the exception that the iris and pupil are both pure white, leaving only barely-visible black outlines of the iris and pupil visible. The Onikamitomi, if damaged, can be repaired with a Tier III application of Reiryoku directly to the eye.
NAME: Architetto Intuizione [Architect's Insight] CLASS: Item TIER: III TYPE: Supplementary RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: By infusing the Onikamitomi with his Reiryoku, Hidane may enter a state where he can see the pure form and low of Reiryoku or Reishi in vivid detail for up to seven posts. This allows him to see the flow of Reiryoku in an opponent, allowing him to predict what kind of technique they may use, or to see the inner workings of a technique in use, to be able to later replicate the results himself and learn the technique, or at least a variant of it. This technique requires OOC permission to copy an OC technique. Techniques may not be copied on the spot; this ability only allows Hidane to examine techniques to be replicated outside of the thread in which it is examined.
While in this state, Hidane may also see beings of notable spiritual capabilities, even if they are suppressing their Reiatsu. Unknown sources will appear as blue silhouettes; the more full the color, the stronger the source. Those marked by Shishirushi are seen similarly, but as golden silhouettes rather than blue.
NAME: Shishafukō [Messenger of Death] CLASS: Item TIER: III TYPE: Summoning RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: Using this technique, Hidane summons a flock of spiritual birds in the form of crows or ravens to fly around the area and scout. They are capable of fluid speech, able to comprehend what they see and report it verbally to Hidane. They are also capable of receiving and recording messages, and repeating them to Hidane or others marked via Shishirushi. Their vocal tone is a decent mid-range, monotonous and a little metallic in tone. They can fly at speeds anywhere from half Cero speed to half Bala speed. At any time, Hidane may connect his vision with one of the birds via the Onikamitomi to get a personal bird's eye view on an area.
ITEM NAME: Mark of Seran CLASS: Item - Standard TIER: VII [Expertise Item] CONDITION: Not Applicable DESCRIPTION: The Mark of Seran is a modification to the target’s soul, manifesting as a new branching section from the soul’s base. Small at creation, this new component to the soul grows just as the soul normally would depending on a character’s actions. The new section is heavily influenced by Seran’s soul, notably the structures that formed prior to his escape from the Seireitei, and as such there is an emphasis on the darker aspects of his personality. The mark is created from Soul Matrix Stem Plasma and the so called “Blood of Seran”, appearing as a mix of the native soul structures and the ones from Seran’s own soul. Outwardly, the mark appears as a black tattoo on the on the subject’s skin, with position depending on a variety of factors. The tattoo is identical to Seran’s maker’s mark, that being a combination of the eternal knot and ouroboros, a black snake wrapped around itself devouring its own tail. Depending on IC interactions [see below] this new section of the soul grows, granting the subject new abilities overtime and acting as a base for other modifications to the soul later down the line. It should be noted that placing this mark on a character requires OOC consent. The mark cannot be removed by anyone but Seran. The mark of Seran's powers are universal to all marks, but each one also carries a supplemental mark, equivalent in power but unique to the individual, as the main mark evolves so does the supplemental. PLOT EFFECTS: Besides its actual abilities, the mark also has some effect on the mental state of the subject, resulting in a number of interesting plot interactions once the mark is placed. These interactions also determine whether or not the mark’s power increases. The first of these aspects is a pleasure response to actions that would fall in line with Seran's own will, a sensation that radiates out from the mark into the body. Most individuals experience this pleasure differently, but the strength of the response does not vary, and increases as the mark becomes stronger. The second aspect is an effect on the individual’s conscience, causing them to be guided by Seran as the “Devil on their shoulder”. This starts simply at first, with a basic nudging thoughts towards the pleasure the mark brings. As the mark grows these thoughts turn to more pronounced voices in the subject’s head, and down the line to actual hallucinations. What this basically means is Seran can post in any thread where the mark is present as the “Voice of the Mark”, though this cannot physically affect what's happening in a given thread and only the person with the mark can hear the voice and see the hallucinations. For beings with an inner world, a manifestation of Seran may appear there, as the mark is part of their soul. The third aspect is memory runoff, meaning a vague sharing of memories between Seran and all those who carry the mark. This is by no means a complete memory download between individuals, and only appears sporadically, usually when certain stimuli like a person, object, or place trigger a particularly strong memory. The last aspect is termed “Seran’s Will”, and is linked to the second aspect. Occasionally, a subject with the mark may be in a situation where their actions would greatly benefit Seran’s own goals. When this happens the mark urges them to take such actions, and if they do the mark evolves more and/or faster than usual.
NAME: Mark of Elucidation TYPE: Item - Standard TIER: VII [Expertise Item] CONDITION: Not Applicable DESCRIPTION: The supplemental mark to Hidane’s mark of Seran. Unlike most other supplemental marks, Hidane’s is not immediately obvious; much like his primary mark that usually remains camouflaged in the iris of his eye. His supplemental mark is largely on the back of his eye, hidden even from himself. If his eye was to be viewed outside of its socket, five black fingerprints would be seen around outside, as though the eye was being held to face a certain direction. Part of these prints can be viewed under certain circumstances, such as if Hidane’s eyes were wide and he was looking far to one side.
NAME: Varied Perspective CLASS: Hollow Technique TIER: I TYPE: Passive RANGE: Varied DESCRIPTION: An interesting, but difficult technique to use, varied perspective allows Hidane to tap into his target’s vision with his marked eye, granting him their perspective in one eye. Upon meeting his opponent’s eyes, the technique activates, causing light to ripple over the marked eye, changing its appearance to match the opponent’s eyes. From then on the marked eye sees what the opponent sees in their left eye. While useful, this ability requires skill and concentration to use, as both of the user’s eyes will be seeing separate images as long as it is active, which can disorient, and leaves the user with a blind spot. The can also close either eye to focus on one set of images or the other. Finally, this ability can be deactivated by Hidane by choice, or by meeting another target’s eyes, but until then the effect remains regardless of the distance between him and his current target.
Contrary to the common occurrence in Shinigami, Hidane’s Zanpakuto’s Spirit (now fused with his Inner Hollow as well) appears as a young girl, standing about 150cm in height, with medium-long choppy white hair. She has slightly tan skin and wears a black skirt that appears to be made of some kind of fur at the bottom, but smooths out towards the top as it blends into two thin strips of black cloth rimmed with white that reach up around her chest and over her shoulders and then around the back of her neck where they are fused seamlessly, adorned with a thick fur-like collar. Under this she wears a black bikini-like top with white flame designs that move fluidly. Along her exposed back is a slightly metallic black spine-like protrusion that reaches down and becomes a long tail with a scorpion-like tip. She wears white thigh-high socks and black knee-high boots, as well as black gloves. Two thick, black metal bands wrap around each of her arms, at the elbows (though not limiting her mobility of them), and her upper arms. Whereas before her fusion with the Hollow she had normal teeth and brilliant orange eyes, now her teeth are sharper and more animal-like and the whites of her eyes have turned black, her irises a brilliant silvery-white. She also now has small black feathery wings and wears a black headband with cat-like ears protruding from it.
INNER HOLLOW PERSONALITY
Much of the new Kurosenkō's personality is strongly reminiscent of her original personality from before Hidane even became a Vizard; the new Kurosenkō mostly acts as a younger sibling to Hidane, and is mostly very friendly to him. Kurosenkō is extremely immature at times, and other times seems wise far beyond his apparent age, but either way he and Hidane get along very well, something that could not have been said for a long time of Hidane and his Zanpakutō leading up to the fusion. He seems very emotionally unstable; opening up, he is very friendly to Hidane, extremely cautious of others, and has a very short fuse for becoming angered. Unlike his predecessor, the "pure" Kurosenkō, his new form can be very unpredictably and excessively violent, though most of the time he does not become like this unprovoked... though, what he takes as "provocation" seems to change very often. The two, Hidane and Kurosenkō, still tease each other and have fun much as brothers on good terms would, but not quite as often as Hidane did with the previous form of his Zanpakutō spirit.
When fighting, the new Kurosenkō is a ruthless and bestial in nature, employing almost purely melee combat in preference to his abilities or stepping. His impulsiveness can lead him to be careless, however, and his form is unrefined and often easily countered.
Since attaining Resurrección, Hidane's Masked form has evolved some; now, when he forms his Hollow Mask, additional mask material covers the entirety of his head and neck, as well as his shoulders and upper chest in a smooth, layered plating that almost looks like armor. The horn-like protrusions at the top of his mask have fallen towards the back of his head some, though not quite fusing with the additional mask material covering his head.
Kurosenkō's sealed form appears as an average-length katana with a hole in the pommel of its hilt large enough to be held by a finger or two by it, as well as a jet black blade. The guard appears circular with golden writhing tentacle-like limbs etched into it.
INNER WORLD
Hidane's inner world takes the form of a large island in the middle of a seemingly endless ocean. The island is ringed with a large beach, with an ocean that seems to go on forever out and down around it. In the center of the island is an large, thick rainforest. Towards the center there is a particularly large tree surrounded by a large pond that has long since been stained red with the blood of Kuromitsukai, Hidane's former Bankai spirit. The combined Zanpakuto Spirit and Inner Hollow has created a clearing of trees and crystals in a wide area around this central tree. Scattered about the forest are large, pale purple crystals jutting out from the ground, which seem to be a result of Hidane's inner hollow's arrival; since attaining Resurreccion, it occasionally appears to be night time in Hidane's Inner World, whereas before it would always seem to be late morning or early afternoon. When Hidane's mental state is particularly poor, the water level is unusually high (putting almost the entirety of the beach, and sometimes even the entire floor of the forest, underwater), and large, red cracks appear in the sky.
SHIKAI
SHIKAI APPEARANCE
Hidane's Shikai bears a very simple form. Kurosenkou resembles an unusually long (about 100cm) katana. It's blade is pure black with a thin white line along its cutting blade, and extends 4 feet from the guard to the tip of the blade. The blade seems to 'stutter' in appearance, as the blade is constantly in a very rapid vibration-like movement. The guard of the sword is black with white rimming. The shape of the guard resembles a four-bladed ninja throwing star, though it is flat and about an inch thick. The hilt is white and wrapped in black cloth with a white end-piece.
SHIKAI ABILITIES
NAME: Senkōkiru [Flash Cut] CLASS: Release TIER: II-IV TYPE: Passive / Supplementary RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: This ability causes Kurosenkō's blade to vibrate at extremely high frequencies, giving it the ability to disrupt the structural integrity of anything it aims to cut or defend from. To clarify, this technique causes the blade to vibrate at the power of the Tier being used, granting Hidane a x2 boost in strength, though only in terms of attacking or defending with the blade itself. In addition to this, the blade may easily cut through abilities up to and matching the Tier at which it is vibrating. The blade passively vibrates at Tier II power while Hidane has his Shikai released, however the vibration may be amplified momentarily to up to Tier IV to cut through more powerful attacks, though this may not be done more than once in a single post.
NAME: Kuroihenkan [Black Return] CLASS: Release TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: 100 Meters DESCRIPTION: The white line along Kurosenkou's cutting edge is covered in a 1-inch thick edge of black Reiatsu. Hidane pulls the blade back and swings. This line of black energy flies off of the blade, acting as a heat-seeking missile toward one target, specified by mental targeting by Hidane. If the blast misses once, it will turn and fly toward the target again. If it misses a second time, it will return to the blade, harmlessly.
NAME: Nomukage [Engulfing Shadow] CLASS: Release TIER: II-IV TYPE: Defensive RANGE: 50 Meters DESCRIPTION: Once this technique is prepared, Kurosenkō's blade is engulfed in thick, black Reiryoku. Hidane may strike any inanimate surface (floor, wall, ground, ceiling, pillar, etc.) and it will leave a thick, dark, shadow-like mark that will not fade despite any light being shone on it. This mark will remain until the end of the technique's duration or until Hidane himself gets further than 50 meters away from it. Should another spiritual being or Reiryoku/Reishi-based technique pass near the mark (within 10 meters), the mark will react and seem to explode in black Reiryoku, spreading out at up to Cero speeds to try to engulf and crush the target within itself. If the technique targeted is equal or lower Tier than this technique was used at, the technique will be nullified. If the technique is stronger, this technique will have no effect on it. If the target is a spiritual being, anything that is captured by the shadow without proper protective measures will be engulfed and near-instantly completely crushed, making it a devastating mistake to get caught by it. Each mark can only be used once, and thus whether one successfully captures and destroys anything or not, once it has lashed out to attempt to catch something, the Reiryoku will fade away into the air. Once placed, if not triggered, each mark will remain for up to six posts waiting to be triggered. Tier IV marks exclusively have a cooldown based on how long they remain active for.
NAME: Shigakiru [Corpse Cut] CLASS: Release TIER: IV TYPE: Offensive RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: The blade of Hidane's Shikai becomes covered in a gray, fog-like smoke. When Hidane cuts any part of an opponent's body while this smoke covers the blade, any part of the afflicted character's body that is within 6 inches of any point in the cut becomes lifeless, cutting off any bloodstream or nervous connections that involve signals being sent through the area, making any limbs affected drop limp and unusable.. Depending on where the cut is, this could cause major or minor effects. If an arm or a leg is cut, the arm or leg cut falls limp and unusable, becoming a massive hindrance for the victim. If the chest or lower body is cut, that region is rendered numb, and the victim will not be able to feel anything in the region. If a light cut to the neck or injury to the head is made, a similar numbing effect is applied to the head, including the base of the nervous system in the brain, causing the entire body to go numb, though still perfectly usable. This effect lasts for 2 posts unless disabled by application of Reiatsu greater than a Tier IV technique, and doesn't affect enemies 2 or more ranks above Hidane.
RESURRECCIÒN
RESURRECCIÒN NAME
Thanatos
RELEASE METHOD
Hidane must use his Zanpakuto, in sealed or Shikai state, to draw blood from his right hand and say "Raffreddare le Ossa" [Chill their graves].
Initially the changes to Hidane's appearace by releasing his Mastered Resurreccion are very minor; his skin, from head to toe, turn black; if he was not masked, his eyes turn black with silvery-blue irises; his body takes on a more angular figure similar to his left arm. Two fragments of his Mask remain in this form's initial appearance, along the right and left side of his face. However, due to his abilities, Hidane may change his form as he pleases, and the most common form he takes on as a "base" form is that of a humanoid monster about twice his size, with bulging muscles appearing to be covered in black-and-purple armored plating from head to toe, with a silvery mask and chest plating. He has two large, dragon-like wings and large, armored claws for hands. A Hollow hole five inches in diameter appears half way in between the center of his chest and the center of his stomach.
RESURRECCIÒN ABILITIES
NAME: Incarnazione della Morte [Embodiment of Death] CLASS: Release TIER: III-IV TYPE: Passive / Supplementary RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: In Resurrección form, Hidane's natural movement speed is increased dramatically. He is granted a x3 boost to Speed while in Resurrección form in general, though it may be increased to x4 for a short duration of three posts with a Tier IV activation and appropriate cooldown for the x4 boost. This buff does not effect Shunpo, Sonido, or any variants of such.
NAME: Coagulazione II CLASS: Release TIER: III-V TYPE: Offensive/Defensive RANGE: 100 meters DESCRIPTION: While in his Resurreccion form state, Hidane’s Reiryoku is passively infused directly into his blood, allowing him more complete control over it at all times. Though this doesn’t seem to have any effect at first, the real benefit of this technique comes into play once he receives an attack that inflicts an open wound upon him. Any of his blood that gets spilled from an open wound, either by himself or by an enemy, becomes a deadly weapon added to his arsenal. Once his blood has left his body by some means, he is able to control it via a form of high-speed telekinesis, including but not limited to moving it quickly through the air and hardening or softening it as needed. The more injuries inflicted on him, the more of his blood enters the air, and the deadlier it becomes to be near him.
The physical capabilities (durability, damage inflicted when used offensively, movement speed) of the hardened blood are limited by the tier at which the technique is used. Other than that, however, the specific uses of this technique are circumstantial, and virtually limitless in possibilities. Used in conjunction with his increased healing from Mitosi, this technique can make dealing with Hidane while in Resurreccion form quite a difficult task.
Upon mastery of his Ressurreccion state, Hidane's Resurreccion techniques undergo a mutation, gaining additional effects or utilities. Coagulazione's mutation forms "blood jets" on his shoulders with an appearance similar to armored pauldrons. These jets shoot out a constant spray of blood out from their backs into the air, giving Hidane a constant supply of blood to manipulate however he sees fit using the base effects of Coagulazione. With High Speed Regeneration and Mitosi's consistent regeneration, he has no fear of running low on blood or suffering any of the consequences of such while using this technique. In addition to these jets, Hidane may still manipulate any blood released from wounds he receives.
NAME: Mitosi II CLASS: Release TIER: III/IV/VII TYPE: Passive / Supplementary RANGE: Self DESCRIPTION: This technique highly increases Hidane’s regenerative capabilities. Using his High Speed Regeneration, Hidane can rapidly generate new cells on or in his body by duplicating pre-existing cells, or alternatively he may rapidly break down existing cells, to create or remove material for parts of his body. This creates a wide variety of uses for Hidane in Resurrecciòn form, including amplifying his ability to regenerate when damaged, as well as a wide variety of methods of body manipulation.
Using this technique, Hidane may perfectly recover from virtually any extent of damage in mere moments as long as any portion of his body is intact. While this technique does not allow the recreation of completely destroyed vital organs, it can completely regenerate an organ as long as even the smallest amount of tissue remains of it. Blood may also be duplicated on a cell-by-cell basis, making the threat of dying from blood loss virtually non-existent with this technique. This technique can also duplicate organs, so that even if one is completely destroyed, the other remains to take over its function. In addition to simple healing, this technique may rearrange Hidane’s internal anatomy at will, including relocating organs and rearranging veins and arteries to make it more difficult for opponents to accurately strike vital locations on his body.
In addition to this, this technique may be used to create or remove additional parts to his body externally, making his Resurrecciòn form effectively fluid, as he may change it and how it works as he pleases. Some examples of this are changing the way joints in his legs or arms move, lengthening or shortening a limb, generating new limbs, increasing or decreasing the size of parts or the whole of his body, or creating weapon-like protrustions from his body. He may also change simple aesthetics such as the color of his skin or clothing, whether simply or in intricate patterns. Since this technique generates new material by duplicating cells already existing in his body, any material generated exterior of his body is subject to any natural defenses or external buffs as his normal body (i.e. Hierro and other supplementary techniques).
Any externally notable changes (size changes, additional limbs, etc.) are reversed upon exiting Resurrecciòn state, though the effects of any healing done by this technique remain.
Upon mastery of his Ressurreccion state, Hidane's Resurreccion techniques undergo a mutation, gaining additional effects or utilities. Mitosi's mutation allows him to be able to control parts of his body remotely, even if they are completely removed from his central nervous system (i.e. if an arm is cut off, he can control it independently of his own body). This includes every single cell in his body, including (but not limited to) blood, organs, and limbs. This allows him to freely manipulate every single part of his body at will at all times, no matter how heavily injured he is, and makes destroying every cell of his body entirely effectively the only way to kill him in Resurreccion state.
NAME: Necrosi II CLASS: Release TIER: III TYPE: Passive RANGE: Melee DESCRIPTION: While in Resurreccion form, Hidane’s Reiryoku becomes akin to a severe, extremely contagious spiritual virus. When a target is touched by any part of his body, including his blood or any weapons he wields, they become instantly infected, starting at the point of contact. On spiritual beings, this ‘disease’ appears as a black, scab-like cancerous growth at any point(s) of contact; this infected tissue is highly infectious in itself, and can spread the disease further if touched. From there, it will rapidly spread (about three inches per post), and at a two-post delay the affected Reishi of a spiritual being will begin to decay and deteriorate at the same rate as the spread of the cancerous material, making it a rather devastating affliction if not treated immediately. The disease spreads freely until it is cured (either by a high-level [Tier V or higher] healing technique, by Hidane choosing to end it, or by Hidane exiting Resurreccion form [by choice or by death]) or it has claimed its victim’s life, either by causing significant damage to vital organs or simply destroying enough of the target’s body to cause them to die.
In addition, the disease will evolve beyond just the cancerous growths and decay with time. If it has not reached a fatal state (such as reaching the heart or simply decaying away enough of the body) by the fifth post, the victim will experience signs of a fever and frequent fits of coughing, acting as an airborne catalyst to the disease, acting as an additional method to infect the target’s allies within a 5-meter radius. Hidane alone is entirely immune to the disease, though at his will he may remove the infection from chosen targets at any time should he choose to show mercy, or should an ally of his become infected. This technique can cause other symptoms if it comes to damage other important organs or parts of the body (i.e. obvious things like if it damages the eyes, the target goes blind; if it damages one of both lungs, the target will find it difficult or impossible to breath; etc.)
Upon mastery of his Ressurreccion state, Hidane's Resurreccion techniques undergo a mutation, gaining additional effects or utilities. Necrosi's mutation allows Hidane better control over the spiritual 'disease' caused by the original technique, allowing him to hide the visual symptoms of the disease until he wills them to be seen, allowing him to try to catch enemies off-guard as only opponents with Mastered or Specialized Reiatsu Control or those with extensive medical knowledge might be able to sense something wrong before the disease gets far enough along to start inhibiting their combat abilities and general health or likeliness to survive the encounter.
