Vanessa Bankai

Bankai Name:

淡い白い蓮妖精 [Awai Shiroi Hasu Yōsei] (Pale White Lotus Fairy)

Bankai Type:

Melee/Kido

Bankai Appearance:

Nessa's zanpakuto takes the form of a bright, silvery grey liquid. When it is formed, there are about 10 litres of it in total. The liquid moves around, controlled by Nessa, seemingly of its own accord at Cero speed at Above Average Zanpakuto Spirit mastery, Half-Bala speed at Advanced Zanpakuto Spirit mastery, and Bala speed at Mastered Zanpakuto spirit mastery. It is a condensed bankai due to the small form of it. Nessa often wears it coated upon her hands similar to the gauntlets in her shikai, with two or three extra blobs circling her. Despite cladding herself in gauntlets, she is unable to access the kido-manipulation powers of her shikai, due to her Zanpakuto Spirit fusing with her Inner Hollow, making her Bankai largely melee based. 

Techniques:

Name: Titania
Class: Bankai
Tier: I-VII
Type: N/A
Range: Self/100m
Description: This technique is a result of the Overwhelming Power of Nessa's highly condensed bankai. When her bankai is activated, torrents of reiatsu surge around Vanessa, scrambling all abilities to sense reiatsu. It gives Nessa an overall boost in speed and strength of 3x. Her reiatsu is also doubled, making her mere presence overwhelming. She is also able to generate waves of energy by flicking crescents of the liquid of her zanpakuto outwards (similar to a sword swing) with variable power.

Name: Iolanthe
Class: Bankai
Tier: III/II-VII
Type: Passive/Defensive
Range: 100m
Description: While her Bankai is activated, Nessa is able to freely manipulate the liquid form of her zanpakuto. She is able to solidify and unsolidify it at moments' notice into any shape she pleases. In order to anchor it against force however, she must fortify it with reiatsu. Otherwise, the force of an opponents' attack could easily knock the Bankai about, and in cases where she is using it to defend herself, knock it into Vanessa, potentially seriously injuring her. Standard duration/cooldown.

 

Name: Aoyagi
Class: Bankai
Tier: II-VII
Type: Binding
Range: 100m
Description: Vanessa is able to use her bankai to bind opponents, solidifying the liquid around them in any configuration she likes. Standard duration/cooldown.

Name: Freyja
Class: Bankai
Tier: III/IV-VII
Type: Passive/Offensive/Poison
Range: Self
Description: Vanessa passively generates up to 20 litres of Bankai fluid per post. At most, 10 liters times the number of mastery points of her release mastery can exist at one time. Once this amount is reached, she can choose to have the fluid on the battlefield disappear to be replaced by the fluid she generates, creating more in its place emanating from Nessa herself.

By forcing the activation of this technique, Nessa can create torrents of Bankai fluid at Cero speed, which do large amounts of damage due to their sheer force. The true strength of this technique however, is if Nessa is touching an opponent when she generates the fluid, it is generated directly inside their body, if her reiatsu allows it to overcome their durability mastery. This poisons their blood, cancelling all buffs they have, passive or active (at equal advantages) and causes visual and auditory hallucinations, shivering, fever, chills, and blurred and double vision.

In order to rei-burst this particular poison, they have to remove the actual substance of the zanpakuto from their body. This is possible with a rei burst only if they also cut themselves and force the infected blood out, causing damage equal to the tier of the rei burst minus one. If they do not cut themselves specifically to remove the zanpakuto the zanpakuto will burst out of their skin when they perform the rei burst, causing damage equal to its tier. As the zanpakuto mixes more and more with the blood, dissolving into the bloodstream it becomes harder to remove, and with each passing post more and more blood must be removed when removing this poison. During the first post the advantages required to remove it are equal to this technique minus one, and during the second the advantages are equal to this technique. When the zanpakuto has dissolved into the bloodstream after 2 posts, this technique passively hampers all passive augmentations for the remainder of the thread where Nessa has her Bankai active.

Name: Feena
Class: Bankai
Tier: VII
Type: Offensive/Binding
Range: 100m
Description: This is the last ability of Vanessa's Bankai, and something of a "last resort" technique. By spreading her Bankai out to be so thin that is is more of a gaseous state than a liquid, and pouring reiryoku into each molecule of her Bankai, Nessa can set it like a bomb, and then detonate it, causing an enormous tier VII explosion for up to three posts continuously around the place it was set. After setting the bomb, Vanessa has up until the end of the post to escape the range of the explosion or she will take reduced but still deadly (tier V) damage from the explosion. She may, however, detonate it at any time after it has been set, even straight away. This technique has several drawbacks, namely that not even Nessa is able to completely know the extent of the explosion due to the extreme diffuseness of her Bankai in this form.  Furthermore, she is unable to use other bankai techniques due to the bankai needing to be in its normal, condensed form for them to work. The force of the explosion is directed inwards towards the centre (the place Nessa set it) and as such opponents within the range of the explosion when it begins will find themselves bound inside being drawn deeper and deeper inwards.

After the explosion, Nessa exits her Bankai, and is locked out of re-entering it during the cooldown of this technique. This is due to the force of the explosion dissipating the fluid of her bankai, thus it takes several posts for it to gather back together and reform. For this reason, although her shikai is still active and its techniques still work during this cooldown, her gauntlets are not fully formed, as her zanpakuto coagulates back upon her hands.
