Time: 0800 hrs. Day Location: Karasu River, Karakura Town, Japan. Earth Temperature: 17 C/ 63 F Hollow Activity: Low
Environmental conditions are conducive. Running diagnostics on Unit #0. . . . . .diagnostics complete, vessel is operating at optimum capacity. Beginning pill synthesis. . .
Inside his pod Kum0 stared blankly at the information, a tube connecting him to the pod itself as it made it's way to the location sat on the screen in front of him. It was supposed to be his first time outside the facility since he had completed his training regimen. A gruelling, unforgiving regimen but one that had worked wonders on his development, strong enough to leave the nest as he now sat inside the flying cocoon of wires, glowing fluids and numbers.
Pill synthesis complete, approaching destination. Removing power limiters. Standby for outfitting.
As he rose the tube connecting him to the pod would fall off his back, his consciousness surging through his vessel as he allowed himself to get familiar with it. A large broadsword would be attached to his back as his vessel was outfitted with the modifications he had worked on in his time at the facility. His objective was simple, locate any beings of similar strength and engage. In his current state that would not prove to be a difficult task to accomplish.
As the simple looking pod began its descent into what looked like a nearby park, Kum0 would be putting on the last of his clothes. Black, ninja like pants, fastened around his waist with an ebony belt, were stuffed into ebony boots that covered his shins slightly below the knee. A black vest covered his chest, leaving only his arms exposed as a tattered black poncho was lowered onto his shoulders, covering his buster sword.
The door would open with a soft hiss just as the mod soul was finishing putting on some fingerless black gloves adorned with spikes at the knuckle, completing an otherwise all black outfit. Stepping out into a rather secluded brush of trees and bushes,the mod soul would take in his surroundings seemingly for the first time. Whilst he had been in multiple simulations before this, seeing the real thing for the first time. . . awed him slightly and he couldn't help but turn in slight wonder at the world around him.
It looked like he was near a river, the tweeting of the birds betraying what would otherwise seem like a usually calm morning. Walking towards the sound of gurgling water it wouldn't be long before Kum0 found himself near the rivers edge.
Its quiet. . . .
His words almost shattering the unbroken tranquility of the place, crouching by the water the mod soul let the cool water run across his exposed fingers, the snapping of twigs nearby immediately causing him to jerk his head around quickly in the direction of the noise, almost immediately a small group of birds would disperse wildly into the sky causing the mod soul's eyes to narrow slightly at the sight.
Too quiet.
He was yet to pick up anything and yet. . . .there was an unshakeable feeling stirring inside him. . . .almost as if. . . he were being watched. . .
HHe couldn't figure it out, and it irritated him. Man, some of these things were difficult. Satoshi was focusing his attention on his drink, not being able to simple twist it in order to open it like normal beverages usually were. Fuck it, there were far better drinks out there that requires way less concentration. Though he couldn't help but feel slightly ignorant for practically giving up. The Vizard dropped the bottled tea off the water tower and watched as it fell...And fell..And fell until eventually shattering into thousands of shards of glass along with one soggy mound of soil and grass. Physics..how disappointng.
Looking around from his position, he could clearly get a good silhoutte of all the buildings and hills that layered the area. Ever blue moon he liked to pace along the River until he reached the water tower, where he focused on the stillness of the world for once instead of how fast things moved. But it was a rarity that he couldn't afford anymore. He knew this was the last time in a while he was coming back. Maybe even never. Regardless, he knew that moving on meant burning bridges.
Sliding his foot forward, it peaked off the edge. The Silver haired man jumped off the edge with a small hop, his hands in his pockets as he accelerated to the ground. As his body slammed into the earth, his legs quickly bent to absorb the impact, the ground underneath slightly splintering from the brutal landing. He glared at the kicked up dirt for a moment, regarding the easily kicked up soil. Moving on, the man's hands slipped into his pockets as he stepped over mounds of dirt toward the road that wrapped along the River.
As he got on the path, he couldn't help but think of how peaceful it was recently. Usually, the hollow activity would be insane. Especially around Karakura with all the spiritually aware beings with immense spiritual power. The more you think about it, more hollow's should be around just for his own self being there...Silence. How beautiful it was.
So beautiful that a soul had actually resided on the side of the road, staring out into the river and back-drop of Naruki City. The man's eyes shifted to the soul slowly, and did his pace. As he approached, the Soul had glanced up toward the man for a few moments, not realizing that the Vizard could see him. After it had clicked in the plus' mind, it surged from its position in complete fear and confusion, and stumbled to her feet.
"Errrer..Uh..You can see me?" She cried out as the Vizard slowly got closer without a word. "Wo-WOAH! Stay away, or else!"
The short, female soul with black hair put up her fists in defense. The man couldn't help but crack a grin from this, until it disappeared along with a Flash-Step.
Before the Plus could comprehend what had even happened, the Vizard's hand was on her shoulder, towering over her at 6ft5. As his head tilted town to meet her frozen gaze, his silver hair came to his shoulders and drooped down with the head position change.
"Yu gonplei ste odon." The man spoke in a long lost tongue of humans known as Trikru. It meant 'Your fight is over.'
Satoshi's hand went to his sword, his other hand grasping with bone-breaking force to the soul's shoulder as she tried to move away. She screamed in horror as she saw him going for his Zanpakuto.
"DON'T, YOU'RE CRA-"
The Vizard quickly drew his Odachi, lifted it, and brought the massive hilt of the blade onto her forehead. A blue symbol tattoo'd it for a brief moment, a blue light enveloping her feet. The Soul's attitude suddenly changed completely as if she had reached enlightenment. (Or smoked a bowl). Her gaze then re-fixed on the Vizard.
"Thank you." She spoke softly as her body quickly faded into the light blue energy below her.
He nodded back to her. It was to his understanding that just because your general agenda was going to cause a lot of bloodshed, that didn't mean you had to. The Vizard found peace and balance in himself by trying to help Soul's. He felt other people were too un-trusting and self-interesting in their own powers to help them out without every piece of knowledge to know they aren't being dishonest. He hated disloyalty.
This brief moment of quiet had been immediately interrupted by a large gleam in the sky. He frowned for a moment before looking at it, thinking he was just seeing things. But to his surprise an object began to descend at an accelerated rate toward the earth about 120m away from his location.
"Out of all things.." He said dully. He sat upon the ground, resting his arms against his knees. He wanted to see how this played out. The pod had hit the earth with a rather loud collision based 'BOOM'. A few moments later, the pod had opened to reveal a form inside of it. It soon awakened to step out in what seemed like one hell of a confused cross-dresser.

The feeling was still there, not unsettling but. . . irritating, like an itch in an area one couldn't reach with their arm. Irises would slide from right to left, across the whites of his eyes and he quietly observed his surroundings.
Nothing but the chirping of birds and the gentle whistle of the wind. The black haired soldier would let out a soft huff of slight frustration before closing his eyes momentarily. Allowing his vessel to emit a soft pulse of colorless reishi, nigh invisible to the naked eye, that expanded outwards in all directions, to the ignorant observer it would seem like nothing more but the play of dust devils or the low hum of an evening breeze.
Only then would he feel it, even then only barely, the reishi of one nearby. . . .almost suspiciously nearby at that. His eyes parting slowly as his face grew deadpan, any sign of his awareness washed away by his pokerface.
Do I still engage?
Affirmative. Protocol continues unless otherwise directed. . . In one swooping motion, Kum0 would pull the blade from his back and gently plant it into the ground, sinking the metal a few inches into the ground so as to keep it from falling over yet not too deep so as to allow him to pull it out quickly if need be. His eyes remained deadpan as he did so, not looking over in the direction he'd sensed the reishi just yet. A few more moments of silence would pass before. . .
Yanno, only two types of people ogle from a distance, pervs and creeps.
As he spoke his eyes would slide to face the direction of the vizard, as though directly looking at him regardless of the distance between the pair. Resting a free hand on the handle of his weapon the mod soul allowed himself an eerie smile as he spoke, a pebble a few inches away from his feet slowly rising to shoulder level.
Judging from the look of things. . . you aint no perv.
Almost immediately the pebble would rocket towards the vizard, as he moved to catch it the Kum0's own body would appear above him nigh instantly, blade held above him with one (left)hand as he swung down on the vizard's (right) shoulder.
{REFERENCES} Name: Acute Awareness Class: Reishi Technique Tier: III Type: Sensory Range: 0-200m Description: Subject heightens their senses to acutely perceive threats from any direction. Releasing their reishi in pulses in a manner similar to sonar, the subject can ascertain basic, observational details of whatever they're sensing within a 100m radius of themselves as well as their spiritual make up and/or strength. This also allows the subject to perceive any attack from whatever direction as a frontal assault. ^ Used to sense Satoshi's location.
Name: Festhalten (Grip) Class: Reishi Technique Type: Supplementary Tier: II Range: 30 Meters Description: By tampering with the Reishi around an object, one can hold a telekinetic-like control over it; allowing them to use multiple weapons at the same time without hampering their prowess as a weapon wielder. Objects are tossed at bala speeds. ^ used to fling Pebble

Subject can maintain this speed whilst performing any manoeuvre of choice without losing velocity. In addition they can stick to any surface of their choosing whilst moving at this speed. ^ Used to close down distance and attack.
Name: Necrobein's Fang Type: Soul Engineering Tier: VI Condition: +10 Description: [X] Formed from the teeth of the great, primordial lord hollow of the desert Necrobein whose teeth were rumored to have destroyed zanpakuto with a single bite. Necrobein's fang is aa modification to Kum0's gigai that channels his augmentation powers into a uniquely crafted, one to two handed broadsword that's as about as long as a fully grown man as it is wide making it the perfect medium to bring out the most of his offensive and defensive capabilities. ^ Le Buster Sword
Mist had rolled out of the Vizard's mouth as a sigh escaped him. He slowly but swiftly got up and brushed off his shoulders as the man spotted him with a rather crude sensory ability. His own sensing abilities could feel the layer of reiatsu that washed over him as it collided with his own senses. 'Mm, so he's looking for me?' He thought to himself, but the sensing seemed rather too brief and random to be targeting only him. It seemed as though he was picking the first sign of life that he came into contact with...How strange. There is no doubt that Satoshi now had no questions about this situatio, but after a moment of silence, it didn't seem the other individual was in a very talkative mood. Right to the point, fair enough.
A rather redundant walk just had to turn into something as messy as this. How unexpected...And so so fun. At first, he had absolutely no idea what or who this man was. He could sense his presence, but it wasn't anything he had encountered before. It was something felt so weirdly cold and empty. As if it was a life-force that wasn't alive. Something artificial perhaps? Or perhaps he was truly undead. But then after a very brief train of thought, he decided he didn't actually care what or who he was. He was going to learn to behave like a god damn human right here, right now. And if he decided not to, this was going to be a very brief introduction for the sword-wielding newcomer.
As the Vizard focused, he could see dots that weirdly began to float in a pattern around the new figure, and then a surge of energy had arisen from him. In small signatures, but enough for the man to immediately focus all of his attention on the situation. But then, the circles started growing bigger as he realized they were growing bigger...Rocks. Flying right at him. However, it didn't take long for the figure seeming to use them sped forward himself.
Ah..How dis-interesting. Satoshi could clearly see the lack of speed the movements were, following his trajectory with relative ease. But regardless of that, the former Shinigami could tell quite well that the man was being lethal. Especially with a sword bigger even bigger then his own Odachi. Yet, he had no desire to waste his Zanpakuto's time trying to kill this man with it. This was purely an un-explained occurance, which the man was known to have trouble controlling himself in. His 'other' self was just below the surface whenever a fight sprang. But something about this time was slightly different...He felt as though he was so disrespected by this man's sudden sword swing to his shoulder had obliged him to stay sane enough to crush him with his own eyes and hands, not his other self. The broadsword wielding man had approached rather quickly, but it wasn't anything surprising. He had met people who'd have you believe they could teleport.
As the newcomer fell toward the Vizard with the sword swinging at his shoulder, he knew it was time to move. That sword was most definitely not a zanpakuto, and if he could sense the Vizard, he was going to make sure he didn't underestimate it or him. In reaction, the Vizard twisted his waist with tension, his feet sliding in movement as it disappeared in a 'whish' of wind and slight amounts of soil kicked up. nis body flash-stepping in inmeasurable speeds, he had surged his legs with energy as he moved BACKward and LEFT from the man's attack to his RIGHT shoulder. Aiming his Shunpo toward a nearby shack, another 'whish' had appeared just as fast it had dis-appeared. The Vizard adjusted his position on the roof, his right side now facing the man, his white hair had blocked out portions of his golden-eye as it glared at him in killing intent.
He then noticed his shoulder had felt a bit raw, must have been one of those rocks. He made a face of disgust as he spoke. His voice a mix of clear and firm intent, but a naturally soft and smooth nature.
"I will speak no words of your goal today. I will speak of the out-come that comes from attempting to carry it out." The man was expecting the newcomer to interupt his words at any moment with another attack, keeping himself ready. This wasn't going to be too difficult, especially since the speed comparisons were practically comedic.
"I do so implore you to proceed with your mistake of believing I am someone you can insult, especially so openly. Because then I can promise you the understanding of hell and pain more then I could to anyone else.
His pale faced lowered, and eyes locked onto the other man's as his expression grew immenseley darker, his hands going behind his back as his fists clasped eachother. He felt as his hidden-weapon shifted under his arm, almost as if wanting to fight.
"If death is your destiny, then let it be carved."
{Reference}Name: Shunpo (Flash Steps) Class: Stepping Type: Stepping Range: N/A Tier: I Description: A movement technique that allows the user to move extremely quickly over short distances. The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. Therefore what determines the level of skill in a user for Shunpo is best characterized by how fast one can get from A to B in the least amount of steps.
Name: Smothering Decree Class: Reitsu Tier: Tier II Type: Passive/Supplementary Range: Self-100 meters Description: To put it simply, this ability is specifically designated to smother other passives that have the possibility of hindering Satoshi's ability in combat, Tier 2 or below. In this way, it can be switched from passive to activation in order to adapt to defend against different passives. Naturally, this smothers passives that give heightened awareness or buffs of Tier 2 or below as well. IE, someone has a passive that allows them to dodge physical attacks would ne nullified if it was Tier 2 or below and the advantages were equal or below. Or an ability that allows them to sense reiatsu, sense presence through air/smell/ect. It is a smothering technique that allows Satoshi to fight on fair terms.
ITEM:
Name: Claw of the Victors Type: Item - Armor Tier: Canon Condition: Not Applicable Coverage: Top of one upper arm Description: At its founding, the Gotei 13 was a far more brutal organization than it is today. One of the most well known examples of their brutality was the practice of executing prisoners by hurling them into a pit to be torn apart by captured hollows, while spectators watched and cheered. Several hundred years ago the practice was ended, after a particularly gruesome incident. It was common practice for a group of prisoners to to executed in this way together, so that the spectacle would last longer for the viewing audience. The last group sentenced to this fate included several leaders of a rukongai gang who attacked and terrorized shinigami who patrolled in home area. Working together, having developed a plan prior to the event, this group managed to overcome a single hollow with number and tear its body apart, acquiring weapons in the form of the hollow’s bones. With these tools, a small number of the prisoners were able to defeat the hollows for the first time in the event’s history. The prisoners then demanded their own release, having been told, like so many others, that defeating the hollows would secure them their freedom, a lie told by the shinigami to encourage them to fight for the benefit of the audience. Knowing that releasing a group of death row inmates would never be accepted by their superiors, the attending shinigami agreed to the prisoners requests on the condition that only the last one standing among them would be freed. Realizing the promise of freedom and had been a lie, and deciding it was unlikely even the sole survivor would truly be allowed to leave, the group of prisoners committed suicide, shocking several noble among the spectators. Once this incident was brought to the attention of several noble houses, the practice was ended, the nobles deciding such a tradition was no longer acceptable. In an attempt to honor those who had been executed, the bones used by the last group of prisoners were carved and tempered into actual weapons, but were quickly stored away and forgotten, a reminder of tradition now considered a black spot in the history of the Gotei 13. The Claw of the Victors is one of these weapons, a white, carved bone armguard with a retractable foot-long blade that extends over the user’s hand. The guard only covers the top of the arm, and is held on by leather straps along the underside of the arm. This weapon is indestructible.

His first encounter with an organic species and he had to and get himself a wordsmith. Initially anticipating some form of immediate counter attack or riposte Kum0 was a little surprised to see his foe back off somewhat. Following through with his strike, the mod soul's sword arm quickly snaked through the air before settling the blade before him and his opponent once more. That was when the talking started. . . .
At most he'd anticipated a little snide remark, maybe a snarky verbal riposte on how cowards attack first without so much as a second thought, instead his opponent seemed to try and bore him with some form of eloquently put together gobbledy gook. As his white haired acquaintance droned on and one the mod soul's face grew increasingly more deadpan, a sweatdrop cascading down the side of his head rather comically.
You don't. . . . get around much do you?
Raising a free hand, the mod soul gently scratched the side of his head almost bemusedly.
Well buddy, if your tactic is to sit there and bore me to my knees I gotta say it's been effective so far. . .
The fingers around his weapon curled ever tighter around the blade as he began to walk towards his foe who's reiatsu signature had suddenly plummeted making the mod soul all the more wary of his foe, as . . . .eccentric as this man was he didn't seem like the kind to bend so easily. The sound of dust grinding under the heel of his boot could be heard as the black haired soldier broke into a run, almost instantly his speed would drastically accelerate to levels just shy of the speed his foe had just displayed.
A trail of after images would surge towards the vizard as Kum0 leapt into the air to meet him, his large mane of hair snaking out like a torrent of iron needles in an attempt to impale his opponent('s mid section), should his opponent block a torrent of electricity would surge through the mod soul's hair into whatever limb his opponent used to block. Alternatively, should he dodge as before, Kum0's hair would simply expand outwards (upto 30m) in a clockwise motion in an attempt to hack him down in his attempt to escape.
{TECHS | CDs} Name: Imperfect Step Class: Stepping. Tier: I Type: Supplementary Range: 0-100m Description: Having witnessed a shinigami perform shunpo, Kum0 has created his own variant of the technique. However, in the process of training it he ended up creating something else completely. Imperfect step allows the user to move at stepping speeds but sacrifices their ability to move faster than the eye can follow (an otherwise typical trademark of the step he witnessed) as such though the user moves quickly, their movements are easily readable if not downright predictable as any opponent with a keen eye would be able to keep up with them and respond. When this step is used the user leaves a trail of dark blue afterimages behind them about 10m long. Drawback: Additionally the user must exit out of this step 5m before their targeted destination or risk their momentum carrying pushing them too far.
^ Step to close distance
ame: Keratin Chainsaw Class: Reishi Technique Tier: III-VI IV Type: Offensive Range: 0-30m Description: Subjects hair becomes a durable, sharp medium that can be used to cut opponents dealing damage equivalent to tier. Subjects hair can also grow to a length of 20m in any direction in order to maximize offensive capability.
^ Attack 1
The following will only apply should Satoshi Block the attack.
Name: Thunderclap Class: Reishi Technique Tier: III-VI III Type: Offensive Range: 0-60m Description: Subject converts their reishi into black electricity which they can launch at the opponent as arcs, beams, balls or lances that move at half bala to cero speeds. When contact is made electrocution damage of equivalent tier is dealt.
Walking up with a rag around his shoulders, and a piece of metal the length of his own body seemed to give this man more then enough courage to simply land in the middle of the human world, and swing his weapon right at him. The Vizard's palm was placed upon his neck, pushing up and outwards as he cracked it left and right.
At first, he couldn't actually tell if he was being serious. 'Was he saying I didn't get out much, after coming in on a fucking escape pod, with a poncho and a broadsword aimed at me? Either this man was one bad case of hypocrite, or I gotta pick up on my 'drop from outer-space culture' His head filled with thoughts of annoyance, before instantly dissipating when he saw the man actually ready to make another move.
"Well buddy, if your tactic is to sit there and bore me to my knees I gotta say it's been effective so far. . . "
Satoshi started talking in the middle of the other man's sentence, attempting to cut him off in boredom. "Talking is redundant. You've been warned" He spoke
He really wasn't in the mood to hear anybody's half-baked insults before a fight. It was as if every enemy in existence had expected some kind of sarcastic remark before a battle as if it was the most playful practice battle in the world. The guy just swung a god damn sword the size of three ogre toddlers. He chuckled to himself at the man's remark, as if a warning to 'back off or die' was anywhere near the intent of trying stall for boredom.
But alas', it seemed this was a necessary scenario for the confused Mexican. As it were, this situation couldn't be avoided simply through talking. His poncho-wearing pal obviously had a confused sense of morality when it came to swinging a massive sword at. It almost made you want to fix it yourself, but Satoshi decided toward more of a plan B. The figure before him began to surge forward in a rather impressive, but predictable amount of speed. It seemed this person hadn't quite grasped a movement technique at the speed of a Shunpo or an Arrancar's Sonido.
The Vizard stood up as the Broadsword wielder began to accelerate.
However, the Vizard had no intention of letting his foe get a secondary pure offensive. The Vizard's body whirled in built up potential energy, twisting his feet into the metal before performing his hand shot outward with a lethal force. A hand in the formation of a claw had met the air with a deep grunt from Satoshi, then without warning, his body whipped forward like a dart. Using his superior positioning, Satoshi took two steps, and rocketed himself off the shed in a whizz of intense speed using his Flash-step. Using his momentum to propel himself off the structure in order to get an upper-hand on positioning, he felt impatient to let this fight drag out for longer then it needed to. Satoshi had other things he had to do, and this was only serving to be an obstacle to goal. Though he did have to admit, somewhere in his mind he was excited to finally see if this was a challenge that he could have been waiting for. The only problem was, he was worried this man wasn't going to take him seriously.
The foe had rapidly approached Satoshi, not too far away from his own but with a noticeable lack of technique or agility. The Vizard had exited his flash-step before the mod-soul had managed to breach the distance himself, waiting until the black haired foe was coming up to two meters within his own position. The vizard's blade still sheathed on his side, Satoshi's fist had veered backward in a cocked position as his opponent flew toward him. Using his opponents own momentum from his increased speed, Satoshi kept his eye on his opponent's sword position to make sure it didn't suddenly change.
((Going to assume its in Kumo's right hand))
He saw his opponent's speed decrease almost as quickly as it increased, which he had appeared to use prior to a follow-up attack. And he was correct as the opponent's...Hair? Yeah, his hair had began to shift with energy levels, and he knew it was type to get as serious as he was getting.
Satoshi's body leapt forward with an immense speed, his fist was blindingly fast as it darted toward his enemy's sternum. As he did this, he could see the hair shoot out spikes that originated from his opponent, but it was aimed at Satoshi's midsection, giving Satoshi his own body enough closed distance to strike right in the center of his line of defense before his hair could cause any real damage. Left hand was at the ready to catch any sword swing or secondary defense this man had to offer.
His right hand whizzed through the air with the intent to connect with his opponent's sternum. Satoshi adjusted his body during the trajectory of the hair-spikes so that it would take more time to reach his mid-section, twisting his body as he punched to make himself seem skinnier.
(First ability, used when propelling off the shed, increased punching speed for ikkoutsu) "Claw like formation with hand"
Name: Stance of the Panther Class: Hand to Hand Technique Type: Offensive / Supplementary Range: Self. Tier: III Description: Stance of the Panther is the mixture of incredible offense and quick movement. When utilizing the stance of the panther, all of your movements are silent other then obvious abilities that would give you away. Your hands are also augmented with increased punching power each, making this stance one of the most deadly stances.

Name: Shunpo (Flash Steps) Class: Stepping Type: Stepping Range: N/A Tier: I Description: A movement technique that allows the user to move extremely quickly over short distances. The focal point that determines the basis of this technique is speed. Therefore what determines the level of skill in a user for Shunpo is best characterized by how fast one can get from A to B in the least amount of steps.
Final attack
Name: Ikkotsu [一骨, "Single Bone"] Class: Hand to Hand Technique Type: Offensive. Range: Self. Cost: IV Description: Ikkotsu is the result of incredible spiritual and physical energy being pumped into a single thrust of the arm, which causes instantaneous damage before blasting the opponent away up to 100 meters in distance, the damage itself aimed to crush completely through something, rather then break it.

He hadn't expected that, his opponents speed rather. The vizard was definitely fast that he could tell simply from how fluid the man seemed to disappear and reappear in front of him, whilst he was fast enough to cause Kum0 some problems he would find that the mod soul wasn't without his own tricks.
The vizard's speed meant Kum0 wouldn't be afforded the time to respond with his free limbs, not only that but he would have to start thinking at least a few more steps ahead than he was currently. That would, by no means, hinder his ability to think on the fly. As the vizard's fist closed on his sternum, it would sink into his flesh as though it were made completely of fluid. The vizard's momentum propelling him forward into the mod soul's body and out the back, Kum0 would seemingly phase through his opponent's attack.
With both their backs to each other, the mod soul's hair would lash out at his opponent's (right) achilles tendon with the intent to sever it completely. If speed was going to be his game then the mod soul would have to make this a level playing field.
Name: Obsidian Phantom Class: Reishi Technique Tier: III-VI IV Type: Defensive Range: Self Description: Subject can tighten or loosen the bonds that constitute their make up in order to make their body as hard as steel, as fluid as water and everything in between. This technique allows them to either tighten up their molecules to tank hits or loosen them to liquefy their body to essentially become intangible to techniques (equivalent to tier). When this technique is used the point of contact on the user's body turns a tar like black.

In any other scenario, Satoshi would be, at the least, befuddled. When a man could actually manifest his abilities to alter the state of his own body, it had to be some amount of jaw-dropping. But his mood was entirely spoiled by the Poncho-man's abrupt appearance. Satoshi realized that his speed would be an apparent factor in the conclusion to..Whatever this was.
As Satoshi's body had seemed to step directly through his opponent as if his own body transmuted into an alternate material. As he punched through, he ended up coming out there other end only half a meter in distance. He couldn't help but feel like there was some sort of catch to his bodily, "transformation" but that was something to be figured out later. Taking it one step at a time was a necessity in combat, especially when one of the steps is a lot more brain-consuming in terms of thought.
How this man attacked could almost be deemed insulting, especially including the childish remarks made by his enemy prior to the battle. It was time to get this over with, he had more important things to do. Almost immediately after the Vizard's fist began sprouting to the other side of his enemy, his left foot planted on the ground for foundation, his right foot sliding on the ground as his body began rotating for a second attack. Satoshi's body was nearly turned when he saw his enemy's hair form into, yet again, another snake-like mound of razor-hair. However, this time it seemed to be directing itself toward a more non-lethal, but long term wound infliction as it dipped below to reach for his legs..Not bad.
As the black funnel of hair surged toward Satoshi, his eyes veered toward the opponent's backside, realizing the mistake of a foe keeping his back turned, right hand swinging in a small arc before changing trajectory into a quick piercing motion aimed slightly above the tail-bone, firing toward the base of his spine to completely immobilize his primary functions. As his arm darted forward at immense speeds, a noise 'clicked' from Satoshi's wrist. At that exact moment, a foot long blade sprung forward at in-traceable speeds at the same time his arm shoot toward, clear oozing liquid splattered as it did so. The man's body finished rotating, his left hand shifting from a fist into a claw. The Vizard bent his knees ever so slightly, sending his left hand sideways into the path of the spikes with a claw strike. He wasn't sure how powerful a clump of hair was, but it didn't look very deadly at first glance. He had no other choice but to hope he wouldn't have to learn from this mistake, but he'd be a fool if he didn't expect to.
His palm and fingers raked into the side of the mound as he reached out, sliding along the base of the side whilst shoving it aside with force.
{OOC}OOC: Not sure how you managed to know exactly where my Achilles Tendon is after having your back turned (Since my Reiatsu passive cancels out yours) But i'm going to assume it's in the achilles 'vacinity'. Also, the ruling was that when you re-form, you get left with a tier 3 amount of damage at the point of impact, so something like hairline fractures to a series of ribs, or complete lack of breath due to it being a shot to the sternum.
OOC2: Satoshi is essentialy 1/3 squatted behind Kumo, facing him. His left hand is outstretched across his torso/downward to rake-smack the hair of the way. The hair is a Tier 4, however Satoshi's Stance of the panther is tier 3 with a +1 advantage. Mid-rotation, he lunged his 'Claw of the victors' towards the main-lower portion of your spine
{Combat Ref.}Name: Stance of the Panther (1+) Class: Hand to Hand Technique Type: Offensive / Supplementary Range: Self. Tier: III Description: Stance of the Panther is the mixture of incredible offense and quick movement. When utilizing the stance of the panther, all of your movements are silent other then obvious abilities that would give you away. Your hands are also augmented with increased punching power each, making this stance one of the most deadly stances.
Used to "Rake away" the hair.
Name: Claw of the Victors Type: Item - Armor Tier: Canon (Acts as Tier 7) Condition: Not Applicable (Indestructible) Coverage: Top of one upper arm Description: At its founding, the Gotei 13 was a far more brutal organization than it is today. One of the most well known examples of their brutality was the practice of executing prisoners by hurling them into a pit to be torn apart by captured hollows, while spectators watched and cheered. Several hundred years ago the practice was ended, after a particularly gruesome incident. It was common practice for a group of prisoners to to executed in this way together, so that the spectacle would last longer for the viewing audience. The last group sentenced to this fate included several leaders of a rukongai gang who attacked and terrorized shinigami who patrolled in home area. Working together, having developed a plan prior to the event, this group managed to overcome a single hollow with number and tear its body apart, acquiring weapons in the form of the hollow’s bones. With these tools, a small number of the prisoners were able to defeat the hollows for the first time in the event’s history. The prisoners then demanded their own release, having been told, like so many others, that defeating the hollows would secure them their freedom, a lie told by the shinigami to encourage them to fight for the benefit of the audience. Knowing that releasing a group of death row inmates would never be accepted by their superiors, the attending shinigami agreed to the prisoners requests on the condition that only the last one standing among them would be freed. Realizing the promise of freedom and had been a lie, and deciding it was unlikely even the sole survivor would truly be allowed to leave, the group of prisoners committed suicide, shocking several noble among the spectators. Once this incident was brought to the attention of several noble houses, the practice was ended, the nobles deciding such a tradition was no longer acceptable. In an attempt to honor those who had been executed, the bones used by the last group of prisoners were carved and tempered into actual weapons, but were quickly stored away and forgotten, a reminder of tradition now considered a black spot in the history of the Gotei 13. The Claw of the Victors is one of these weapons, a white, carved bone armguard with a retractable foot-long blade that extends over the user’s hand. The guard only covers the top of the arm, and is held on by leather straps along the underside of the arm. This weapon is indestructible.
Name: Venom of Guilt Class: Kidou Tier: III Type: Passive Range: Self Description: The blade portion of this weapon was carved from a particularly large hollow fang, and still secretes the creature’s potent venom. This poison is a powerful paralytic, and even a small scratch from the blade can deliver enough of it to paralyze the surrounding area. This poison works on a limb by limb basis; so, for example, if the target’s arm is cut their arm will be the only thing paralyzed. But because of this downside, a single advantage from this poison is enough to cause 100% paralysis in poisoned area for 2 posts.
(If attack connects, the poison will most likely poison Kumo's entire spinal cord, paralyzing him completely for "2 turns". This acts as a Tier 7 blade with Bankai sharpness, though indestructible.)
A life truly worth living for is a life worth dying for.

NOTES say something nice
To leave one's back exposed was the epitome of an inexperienced fighter, any weeb that watched enough anime could tell you that. The same statement could also have applied to Kum0 at this very point, leaving his back exposed to his opponent whilst he made his counter was something only the masochists or battle crazy berserkers attempted. But that would only imply that the dark haired mod soul was unaware of his opponents own movements, in that regard the notion of his exposed back took on a different context. Again, only the masochists or battle crazy berserker would do this. . . . or one who intended to get struck initially. Kum0 wasn't unaware of his opponents movements, on the contrary though his back was turned the man might as well have been attacking the dark haired mod soul from the front, his little counter would be perceived as such.
As his foe's body phased through his own the mod souls skin began to emit a soft hiss. Trembling softly as though it were jelly on a shaking table. Were his opponent a keen observer he would notice the mod souls skin perforate slightly with multiple holes that grew to the size of peas before immediately settling down once more.
Looks like I rushed that a little.
His sponge skin, his last line of defense, only activated when he took damage, naturally it was a modification he had created in order to preserve his body as long as possible, to that end he was a little irked that the man had managed to trigger it, whilst he would take no damage, it was a sign that this fight was one to be taken quite seriously.
The mod souls eyes wouldn't move, nor would they have to, as his opponent's (right)arm snaked out to try and pierce him at the base of his spine he(Satoshi) would find himself being pulled back by the collar, as though an invisible hand had grabbed him and was attempting to drag him away from the mod soul, dragging him back just far enough to disturb the center of his gravity and limit the reach of his intended attack to just shy of the mod soul's skin without actually making any contact.
As this was happening black electricity pulsed through his hair, travelling towards his opponent as the mod soul turned on his left foot, using his buster sword as a makeshift shield in order to face his opponent. Should he(Satoshi) still manage to block the hair, a bolt of electricity would fire dance along the point of contact between his claw and Kum0's hair, should it connect, it would hit with enough impact to send his opponent back a good 10 or so meters ending their first exchange.
Tit for tat, not a bad way to start. There were plenty more tricks to come, that was for sure.
