Hidane's Techs 04 | Mask Grand Perk +

NAME: Parasitus [Parasite]
CLASS: Mask Control
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 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
RANGE: Self
DESCRIPTION: At any point time during Stage I, Hidane may choose to activate Stage II, where the energy collected will begin to burn off through his arm. His arm will receive durability equal to the Tier level collected in a manner similar to Hierro, nullifying techniques below the active Tier level, as well as a strength boost applied to any attacks directed through his left arm, for the duration of this stage. Each post this stage is active after its activation, the Tier level of energy collected will fall by one, until it returns to Tier I. This stage cannot be cancelled in the middle, and must run its course until it returns to Tier I or until Exactis is used. This stage will automatically be activated if the Tier level collected by Stage I reaches Tier VII. In Resurreccion form, the steam and buff apply to Hidane's entire body, in whatever form he may choose to take.

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.

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.

*added the last one to this one since the first entry isn't so much a technique as much as a heading for the next four. If that's not okay I'll submit the last one seperately, either alone or with some other techs I can probably come up with.
