Height/Weight: 5'4/ 123 lbs.
Physical Description:
Everything about this girl is just quirky and unusual to a "T". Ranging from personality to fighting style to even looks. That's the icing on top. Yup. Asuka's probably one of the few around here that looks unusual. An appearance to match her bubbly, quirky personality.
Asuka is not very tall. She's not extremely short, maybe average. She has slender,toned figure. She has a light olive skin color. She has an oval shaped face. Both of her eyes have a grey outline around it. There are two streaks sprouting from the outline in a horizontal manner on both eyes. One streak reaches to her temple and the other to her ear lobe.
She has long light blue-green/ teal. Her hair reaches to her tailbone. She has a long messy fringe that frames her oval shaped face. Her fringe swept to the left. The tips of her hair are dyed light green. She has bright, intense,vibrant green colored eyes. Almost as if they were full of life.
She has a very youthful, soft appearance. Asuka has the looks of an 20 year old. She has shaped eyebrows and her nails are painted black. Her mask is worn on her head like a crown. It appeared to be horns of a sea serpent or a dragon of some sort. There are four horns on each side. Each prong was progressively longer towards the end. The fourth was the longest. It is 6 inches shorter than the length of her hair. She doesn't wear a suit, but she's business casual. White collared longsleeved shirt, black vest with white pinstripes and an orange tie with black slacks and black ankle length boots that with 3 inch heels.
In more recent years, Asuka's appearance has matured slightly. Worry and impatience slightly aging her. Her mask fragment has changed slightly; looking more like a pointed king's crown and tilted on her head 15 degrees towards the back. It is not obnoxiously big. She still retains her charming beauty. She is still extraordinarily girly and is still quite partial to shades of blue and green. She loves summer wear and dresses and t-shirts and anything hip. Asuka is fairly up to date on current fashion trends and is not ashamed to flaunt that. She will wear mini skirts, shorts, long shirts, jeans you name it!
Her rich, teal hair grown out to impressive lengths, reaching to her hip. Her fringe still styled somewhat the same. Slightly messy but intentionally so and it frames her face! So it's extra pretty, aha~! It's still kept pin straight but she will occasionally wear it different styles. Y'know. For funsies. Sometimes, you'll even see her playing with her hair. Often in the human world you will see her either dawn a pony tail or leave it down. Sometimes, she'll even have fun clips and accessories in her hair.
Asuka's style of dressing differs depending on where she's at. If she's running a job for Kouhai or staying in Hueco Mundo for the time being, her attire will run on the professional side. Only because it was not only comfortable but she was certain that if she wore anything else, she was going to get picked on and she didn't want to get picked on by all the other arrancar like last time. That wasn't fun and honestly, no one mocks you for being in a shirt and pants. She'd opt for a white collared shirt that buttoned down to decently appropriate clevage, tight black jeans and a pair of knee length riding boots. Her belt is a normal, black leather belt that looks somewhat like a harness, keeping both her whips locked safely on it. Her whip zanpakuto rest on her butt pretty much. Else where, Asuka is usually in a gigai and street wear. Life is simple.
Asuka's still got the usual scars from her training with Kuroi. Scars and gashes that never healed fully. She has the body of a warrior. Toned and fit but still, she's short. Her nails are likely painted in some variant of pastel teal and her arrancar markings have migrated to the inner corners of her eyes entirely. It's slightly slanted to give her eyes more of a snake/cat eye appearance and are a deep forest green in color. Asuka's new Segunda tattoo is largely imprinted on her back in black. She also has the roman numerals for 2 ( II ) printed somewhat behind her right ear and borderline on her hairline.
The new Segunda Espada has a toned and fit body. Not much has much changed terribly. If anything, she wears the experience of a warrior on her a little bit more. Most people would look at Asuka see a charming, bubbly, attractive girl. They would never get an intimidating or imposing vibe from her. Asuka is welcoming, inviting & friendly. You look at her once and you are immediately attracted to her charming nature. Underneath it all, she's still the same. What is on the inside is reflected on the outside. The only time anyone would see this snake's fangs is in a bad situation. Asuka in appearance is the vision of a true snake; pretty and interesting to look at but when pissed off? Highly ferocious.P.

Dislikes:
✩ ﾟBetrayal - Asuka had alot of this in her past life. It brought her a great deal of sadness and rage. She hates this with a passion.
✩ ﾟRepetition- Its annoying to hear someone say the same thing over again. Asuka would probably be in a killing mood if she was told the same thing over and over.
✩ ﾟPerverts- They're creepy. Enough said.
✩ ﾟRegret - It's an extremely painful feeling. Asuka is almost afraid to feel this and will do anything to avoid feeling regret.
✩ ﾟUnnecessary violence- Inflicting pain without a reason? You look mighty stupid right now.
✩ ﾟEscudo - A complete and total freakshow. They're all assholes and it's pretty safe to say that Asuka hates each and everyone one them with a burning passion.
✩ ﾟPeople who hold her in contempt- So what if she's nice? So what if she was weak at some point? She's growing and she's gonna beat down every jerk who dares to look down on her.
✩ ﾟThat Greek Guy - "Where the fuck does he come from!? This man comes around once a year just to jump and beat the shit out of me. WHY DOES HE ONLY BEAT MEUP?! I don't understand..."
✩ ﾟWhen people deny their actual race - "I'm only trying to help! Sigh...They're so confused! Werecows and Sparkle Wizards and more! I'll just agree to disagree I guess.."
✩ ﾟPeople who assume she's stupid - Hey man. She's not ACTUALLY stupid. Okay well she is, but she just doesn't like the word! Would you like it if someone called YOU stupid?! NO.... Meany pants.
Likes:
★░█ Dusk - It's her favorite time of day. Its mostly dark, but not too dark. Asuka doesn't like total darkness or the sunlight. During this time period, the sun isn't visible and its not dark. She thinks this time of day has the perfect balance.
★░█ Sea- The sea is vast and its open. Its calm and its looks like it could go on forever. Asuka remembers looking at the sea from her memories as a human. Sadly, Las Noches has no water.
★░█ Chichi Dango- A type of dumpling. It's sweet and its light. It's the perfect snack. Asuka could eat tons of them nonstop if it were possible.
★░█ Her friends in Seireitei- It's badass to secretly have friends in forbidden territory.
★░█ Snakes - She likes their stealthy and silent nature. They know when its best to attack. Asuka likes that they hold and defend their ground. They hate retreating from a battle of any kind; similar to her.
★░█ Shinsei- Where is he?
★░█ Her fraccion - Asuka's fraccion is truly dear to her. She will go out of her way to help then should they need it and will always protect them if they're in danger.
★░█ Normal people - She's known for running into crazy people... and crazy people often run into her. She'd like to talk to one that doesn't want to grab her girly bits or kill her, thank you very much!
★░█ Reptiles - Snakes, small lizards...all kinds! She just feels that reptilian connection, ya know!?
★░█ Snow - It's snow! It's just pretty in general~!

★░█ Her Broccoli People friends - "Souzetsu! Nishiru! Amare! They're all so awesome! They can do pretty magic tricks!!! Souzetsu all mysterious! Amare is kinda like my student! I know what he feels... to be weak and yearn to become stronger. I really wanna help the guy! As for Nishiru, he sticks up for his friends and did something no one else has done in; Beat the crap out of the Espada with kindness and love. He's a good kid~! Aha! You go Nishiru! "
Flaws:
Too Kind- No, this isn't one of those vain "I'm so nice it's my biggest flaw" kind of thing. Asuka honestly is too kind...For an Espada. She tends to believe in the good of others more often than reading between the lines and looking at things as they really should be.
Ditzy- She can be kind of ditzy at times. Oblivious..She's a sweet girl, really. She's just not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Kinda stupid - Everything else might fade but dumb is forever.
Says things in the wrong way - It's not intentional! She doesn't mean it! She means what she says just not the way you think of it! Sometimes her mouth has a mind of it's own! Asuka just likes to use her mouth a lot! Sometimes she won't stop! She only and always has the best and most pure intentions! Shame on you. People might misunderstand her in an important or crucial time!
Habits:
Snake Charmer - Asuka has natural affinity with snakes. If there are any in the area, some will gravitate towards her and just casually chill out. She has a calming effect on them.
Aha - She litters most of her sentences with that little speech quirk of hers. "I can't help it. Aha!"..You SEE?!
Race confusion - Asuka believes that every other race that isn't an arrancar are made up of creatures of the night. She often makes them up because, let's face it. There's no such thing as an akki or a shinigami...and she has yet to name the others.
Sniffing Races Out - Asuka will sniff the other person she is interacting with like a dog. From her sense of smell, she will be able to tell if that person is Arrancar, Akki (Werecow), Hason (Sharkpire), Shinigami (Sparkle Wizard), Human (Broccoli People) and other creatures of the night. It might come off as slightly invasive but think of her as a bloodhound who has absolutely no control of what they're smelling. They just go for it. Note: Asuka would not KNOW the exact race of the person she's smelling. Just that they smell different than what she's used to.
Fears:
Kuroi - Asuka has always feared Kuroi but now she's scared of him for an entirely different reason. Her return. She doesn't quite know what he's been up to but if she knows the Agent of Despair, she knows that he's swimming in a sea of it and that she'll be on the receiving end of whatever he has in store.
Liquor - Due to circumstances as a human, she's come to develop a serious phobia of it. At least you know she'll always be sober.
Getting Crushed by Giant Dogs - Due to being flattened by one, she fears that it'll happen again. She isn't DEATHLY afraid of them and likes big dogs. Just getting crushed is scary.
Rio - He's a big boye. Send help.
Watching the people she loves die - Asuka wants to protect the people she loves the most and tries her best to keep them close to her. If something were to happen to them, she would be utterly heartbroken.
Goals:Become Sexta Espada - Asuka wants to work her way up to being the Sexta. She's right in the middle. Not too high but not too low either. It's the perfect position in her mind."Goooooooooooooaaaal~! Yay~! Aha!"Why not try for Cuarta - Because why not?"Someone took it..."
Become Segunda - To be in a position she never imagined she would be in
Make friends - The more the merrier. Asuka loves meeting new people!
Killing Makoto Escudo - Asuka never wants to kill. Truly, she hates killing but this man. This man will pay for what he's done to her. Hell is not enough. Nothing is enough. Now that Asuka is the Segunda, she will tear him to shreds. No one else instills the instinct to kill like this particular individual. Asuka wants revenge for what he did to her all those years ago when she was just a weak fraccion. He is a dead man walking as far as she is concerned.
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Aspect of Death: Chance
Overall Personality:
"Mr. Werecow....self-denial is a terrible thing. Aha."
Asuka is probably the strangest Espada that you'll meet by far. She doesn't act like an Espada at all actually. She's not arrogant, mean...nor is she rude or bitchy. She's pretty nice. No catch behind it. It's not a facade or an act. Asuka is just naturally like that. She has reason behind ALL of her actions, always thinking before acting. For the most part though, she's really nice. She has the utmost respect for her comrades. Even if some of them may piss her off, she'll forget that pretty quickly because she knows that they all have to work together.
She's quirky. That's for sure. Her thought process is a bit out there. Constantly thinking of the strangest things. Example; Can you kill a werecow with silver? So many questions...so many left unanswered...The world may never know! Asuka is probably the strangest out of the Espada. Not as nice as her own fraccion, Li Mei, but it's safe to say that she won't be yelling and smashing things like some of the others. Asuka is really friendly. Shinigami? Akki? Fullbringer? Quincy? Bount? Who the hell cares?! She doesn't. Asuka is willing to befriend anyone as long as they're nice. Well..she would have been friends with that one werecow, Golak but he tried to kill her so that was a big no no.
She's also a bit of an air head. Quite obviously not thinking her way through things properly. Though, she has random strokes of genius. So she's not a total lost cause. She is bubbly and she's got a likeable, friendly aura. She won't bite. Trust me.
Asuka is a quiet person. She only speaks when she feels the need to or when she is confronted. If she has nothing nice to say, then she won't say it unless she's annoyed. She's courteous, even to her enemies. She is a free spirit, doing whatever she wants whenever she wants. She hates to be tied down. She will chase after anything that intrigues her (which happens to be anything out of the ordinary). She enjoys venturing out, seeking power or learning new things.
She's gone somewhat of a transformation thought. Asuka isn't nearly as quiet as she used to be. Rather, she's much more bubbly and outgoing. Feeling quite happy to step outside of her shell to meet someone and converse with them or do fun things. Asuka wants to make friends with the whole world and will happily open her heart up to anyone in the name of doing so. It might open her up for heartbreak of different kinds but, when it happens, Asuka is entirely confident that she could bounce back. If there's anything she's certain of, it is her resilience.
Asuka will believe in the good in people until the end. No matter what, she is sure that there is a modicum of good in every being. She will go out of her way to help those that are helpless and in need. She has a big heart and wants to share her generosity and kindness with everyone. Even if you display hatred to her, she'll be like gum on your shoe and want to befriend you. A terrible trait to have but one she can't help but having. Asuka is kind hearted and forgiving to a fault.
Becoming the Segunda has changed her somewhat however. While power might not have gotten to her head, Asuka knows of the responsibility that comes with her position. When it comes to certain situations and working under Kouhai, she is much more serious and focused. She feels as though because she's the new Segunda and that she has big shoes to fill, she has to try her absolute best and toughen up. Asuka will try her best to be rather serious in fights; that was how she was taught after all. However, she always stays true to her personality and will often make sweet, innocent conversation with her opponent. Sometimes, she'll even do her best to have fun if possible.
When she fights, she concentrates her hardest. Constantly asking herself what Kuroi would do if he were in her shoes. She feels quite lost at the moment. Asuka is very much not used to her new position. Some might say she took the spot impulsively and that's true. She did! However, Asuka figures that since she never would be mentally prepared, she might as well jump into it. Deep down, she does have a slightly darker streak. This only comes out when necessary. Only because she wants to carry out her mentor's legacy the way that it should be. She wants to do her best and make everyone proud. However, she is still figuring out how to do that in her own way.
All in all, Asuka is kind, sweet and genuine. Everything she does or tries to do is straight from the heart. Asuka will put herself on the line for others. Do her best to do what is right and will try to make others happy. All this Segunda wants to do is please others, make friends and stick up for those who need it. She wants to help in any capacity. She firmly believes that her race does not dictate her own actions and as far as Asuka is concerned? No one can stop her. Not a damn person can stop her from being a good person and being herself. No one can stop her from following her heart. When Asuka believes in something, she will fight tooth and nail for it. Asuka is who she is. Not even Sonken Kouhai himself.P. O. W. E. R. S. «
Fighting Style:
Throughout the years, Asuka's style hasn't changed much. However, she has learned a great deal. She's retained the same attitude in that she likes to finish the job as quickly as possible. No toying. That's bad stuff. She does her best to avoid giving her opponents a chance to retaliate or fire a counter because honestly, who knows what the fuck you're fighting? One day it's a giant dog and in the next, it's a slimy Escudo who's a little too touchy for your liking. Life has thrown a lot of shit her way so one thing you can guarantee from her is that she won't be caught off guard with hot, new fighting shit.. and if it is new, she will adapt rather quickly. Such is the nature of an arrancar who started from the bottom. (Started from the bottom now we here).
Asuka's fighting style is incredibly versatile. There's no true set way for her to fight. As someone who has watched Kuroi for many years, she has learned to simply take advantage of what is given to her if possible. When the chance is given to you, you strike hard and you make sure it is devastating. To subdue rather than to kill is what this Espada is all about. Killing has never been her M.O much to her mentor's chagrin. She tries her best to use both long range and short ranged attacks. She feels like a combination of both would give her more variety and variety is what helps one in battle. She's fought with akki numerous times before so she knows how to take difficult and unexpected approaches in the midst of battle and she is no stranger. She's gotten a grasp on the whole unpredictable thing but she's not exactly perfect at it.
Some examples of things Asuka might like to do is, drawing her opponents in with her whips. Using the chords to reel them in and the blades for the kill. In most cases, Asuka isn't really one to hesitate when it comes down to doing something important in terms of a fight. Whatever objectives need to be completed, Asuka would do that first. As a fraccion of the former Segunda, she knew things were to be done professionally and efficiently. Wasting time was asking to get killed; by your opponent or by Kuroi himself. I guess the most important take away from this is hurry and don't fuck it up.
Sometimes, if Asuka sees something she likes, sometimes she'll mimic a movement. It might not be the best imitation, but she's always learned by watching so that is something to watch out for. Throughout the years, she's pieced and placed things together in her fighting style. Very much like an imperfect and always incomplete puzzle. She's no Kuroi, but Asuka will try her damndest to come as close as she can. The differences being skill, obviously, and weapons. Whips were exotic and had unpredictable movement because of how fluid-seeming they appeared to be but Asuka was more than acquainted with her weapon and she could move in a way to achieve whatever she wanted.
In tough situations, Asuka will attempt to emulate other people she has seen in combat. Sometimes, resorting to your own original fighting style won't cut it. She'll often look back to Kuroi and his own techniques and asking himself what he would do, how he would do. Despite rising to a new rank, she finds herself very much like his student and goes back to memories of when he'd beat her mercilessly. Granted they weren't always pleasant, but it certainly was a learning opportunity.
She has learned to hit hard and be patient just like he was. Asuka might not have been a battle master or have advantage in battle but she was going to try her damned to look for any advantage she could take over. Despite being incredibly young, Asuka has more experience fighting with opponents far tougher than her. What she has done in one century amounts to what others have done for multiple centuries. She has fought damn near every race with the exception of a few. It has made her much wiser and has allowed her to expect the unexpected.
With comrades, Asuka is just the same. She's someone that does her best to help her comrades as much as possible and attempt to get through the fight without any extreme causalities. Though, that's pretty tough all on it's own. Battle is very messy after all. Again, if she is fighting alongside someone and if it means aiding her comrades, she will do it. To Asuka, success is seeing her friends live another day so that they could bake cookies together.
Zanpakutou Appearances:
Prior to release, Asuka's weapons are a twin set of kangaroo bullwhips. Kangaroo hides are proven to be the best; strong and dense (well..next to metal anyways). The special thing about these whips are that they're sort of a dual weapon. Attached at the hilts are tanto-like blades. Whips can't necessarily kill so that's where the blades come in. Tanto blades are notoriously small and were originally made as a stabbing weapon. The whip itself in length ranges from 7 to 8 feet and the blades are a foot long. The whip's chord is dyed black and there's nothing really special about the blades. Just your normal standard pair. The sheaths for both blades however have a shiny, jade green embossment of a snake swirling around the butt of the sheath to the top.
Her release is far more different. Her bullwhips become much more durable and well, to sum it up, grandiose. The length increases to 14 feet and it's covered in spikes and shining titanium scales. The chords themselves become much thicker and the blades disappear thus becoming much more lethal. God help you if you were being suffocated. The hilts appear to be a dark blue snake with jade eyes wrapped in a small loop made exclusively for her grip.
On the plus side, she doesn't look like a raving circus freak anymore. She's got legs but she looks more like a knight that a sea monster. She gets a dark blue knights helmet with a dark forest green embroidery. The armor itself is dark blue actually. She gets armored shoulder spaldings that cover her entire shoulder and from that point down, her entire arm is covered in silver scales. Asuka also has a dark blue chest plate that covers the upper part of her torso. She wears a long black shirt that reaches mid thigh with a dark forest green embroidery. Underneath is a long teal open front skirt and on her waist, the same colored belt hanging loosely. She wears black leggings with dark blue straps wrapped around the thigh. Her boots are dark blue and scaled. They're also flat and knee-length.
There are designs on her armor. Dark green snakes and serpents swirling about and patterned on top. Her eyes turn yellow and her hair becomes much longer. The tips of her hair turn dark blue and she gains fangs. Asuka grows fangs. They elongate just below her bottom lip. The tips of her fangs are dark blue. The pupils of her eyes becomes snake-like, with slits. They have something of a natural glow to them. If you're in the dark, you'll see her easily and well, she'll look like a predator despite not acting like one.
Zanapkutou Release Names
Stage Name: Vipera
Call out phrase:
Primera Etapa: "Slither, Vipera!"
Segunda Etapa: "Banish them to the life of a beast! Vipera"
Overall Ability:
Asuka's overall ability mainly has to do with the powers of the Gorgon sisters of Ancient Greece mixed in...with something about Serpents. A very serpentine release. It's all about disabling and rendering her opponents useless. Surprisingly, it's nothing lethal whatsoever. Asuka’s not about killing and was never truly meant to kill. Rather, she would have her opponents rendered useless. To be useless is the same as being dead.
Snakes love their prey helpless and open to whatever they might have in store for them. It all sounds very menacing, but truly, Asuka is anything but that. She’s not a killing machine and she never will be. If she can spare a life, then she will be very, very happy! Paralysis, petrification and disabling someone/something are some recurring themes of Asuka’s release. To have the choice to kill is what this Espada wants.
Asuka may appear to be Medusa at first glance but this is not true. Rather, she is the story of Perseus and Medusa. She plays both hero and villain in her release and carries the aspects from the story with her. She is primarily Medusa. But she can also be Euryale, Stheno, Athena & Perseus. She holds special aspects of each of these characters.
The biggest thing about this release, to reiterate, is that there absolutely no killing techniques. Not a single one. Her own morals and values are carried with her into her releases. Sometimes, to kill is a release but to be left alive at someone’s mercy? Asuka thinks that is far worse — The true, nasty aspect of this release.

Sometimes, to kill is a release but to be left alive at someone’s mercy? Asuka thinks that is far worse — The true, nasty aspect of this release.
Primera Etapa Overall Ability:
It's pretty much stated above. Nothing lethal. It's all about disabling and rendering her opponents useless. She can go in for the kill if she wants to. How she does it is entirely up to her. Petrification, paralysis, you name it! As long as it stops you but doesn’t kill you. Asuka could even leave you on the cusp of death but, again, fear not… You will not die! Every technique of Asuka’s is non-lethal.
One Wrong Look: A passive ability of Asuka’s where she turns her opponents to stone. Asuka merely needs to lock eyes with her opponents once. Only then will the petrification process begin. Once she has, Asuka can look at her opponents in any way and turn them to stone temporarily. Their muscles will slowly stiffen the more she looks at them and finally, they will be turned to stone for 1 post.
However, this is difficult to do on its own. To help remedy this, the snake surrounds herself in an aura. Asuka has a charming presence. Beautiful and enchanting just like Medusa’s face was. Asuka has an aura (20ft radius) that makes others want to be around her. They want to look at her and marvel at her beauty. It will force them to look at her entirely and admire her. Just how the snakes gravitate towards her out of her release, her opponents will want to be near her. A 1 in Strength of Will or Calm Mind will be able to resist this but not with ease (Will take an extra post to leave the aura). A 2 in these skills will be able to resist this fully. This is an attempt to get Asuka to see her opponents so she can petrify them.
Having a 25% Offensive Stat Superiority will resist this. Asuka will have to wait three posts before she can start this ability again.
Zanpakuto Techniques:
Euryale's lament: In Greek mythology, Euryale was one of the three Gorgon sisters. She was most famous for her wailing cries. With this move, Asuka can let out a loud piercing cry. Anyone who hears this within a 100ft range will be affected. However, this doesn't affect her opponents sense. Instead, it temporarily paralyzes them for 1 post. A handy move if she is in a predicament.
Should the opponent be within 15ft or less of Asuka, this move will painfully disable the opponents hearing. It would be the equivalent of 10 megaphones carrying over an ethereal high pitched scream in someones hear.
Drawback: This can affect her comrades as well. Also, this move will strain Asuka's voice. She can only use it three times in a thread. Anyone with a superior offensive stat can easily resist the paralysis effects. This technique is entirely useless if the person is too far away (past 100ft). Costs 250 reiatsu.
In the Lair of Medusa : When you approach Medusa in her domain unprepared, you fall victim to her horrific powers. You will be as unprepared as a new born child near Asuka. She will surround herself in an aura (40 ft radius) that petrifies reiatsu. If Reiatsu enters the aura, the reiatsu itself will crumble into stone. For example, if someone fired a kido into the aura, it will crumble into stone, rendering it useless. This technique is meant for petrifying reiatsu mostly, HOWEVER, people can only be petrified when they are only within 20 feet of Asuka.
In addition to this, people within her aura will have their Reaitsu WITHIN THEM being petrified slowly. The very reiatsu coursing through their veins becomes petrified. Spending one post in Asuka’s aura will reduce your speed by 15% and moving becomes extremely painful. If you spend two posts, you will start to be immobilized and on the third post, your reiatsu will petrify and break apart inside you. This technique lasts four posts.
Drawbacks: Asuka also cannot use reiatsu when aura is up. She must wait two posts before using this technique again. The effects of this Aura are nullified if the opponent has a 50% higher offensive stat. Costs 300 Reiatsu.
Stheno's toxin: When Asuka activates this techniques, she's able to create up 10 medium sized red reiatsu spears that explode on contact with anything. If the opponent were to touch the spears in their solid form, it would give them third degree burns unless they have a 2 in either Heat Tolerance or Pain Tolerance. When thrown, they explode (Asuka also has the ability to make them explode prematurely when thrown, for an additional cost of 25 reiatsu). Asuka can throw them at up to 700 speed. When exploded, they release a large red mist cloud that is 15ft in diameter. That red cloud contains a highly concentrated toxin. If inhaled, within a matter of seconds, your body will start to feel like it's on fire from the inside. Like you've been turned inside out and being soaked in acid. It's enough to make someone collapse or bring someone to their knees. Will only end when Asuka is killed or when her release ends.
Depending on your skill in poison resist, the poison will affect you in the following ways:
1 in Poison Resist - The poison is nearly unbearable. You’ll manage better than those who don’t have points in this skill but isn’t easy. Standing is very hard but not impossible.
2 in Poison Resist - The poison isn’t tolerable but not unbearable. Can at least stand.
3 in Poison Resist - Poison is barely tolerable, you will be in much better standing than the others and will still be able to fight.
Disadvantages: Recommended if she's soloing this. There's a possibility that her allies will be affected by this attack. The reiatsu spears also cost 200 to make per batch (10). Premature explosions cost 25. Skill points in poison resist won’t render you useless. 50% Asuka's offensive stat should resist this regardless of skill in poison resist.
Athena’s Curse: For Medusa’s punishment, Athena damned her to a life of ugliness, transforming her into a monster. Reiatsu pillars will rise from the ground at 8000 speed and surround Asuka and her opponents entirely, locking them in together. Snakes made of Reiatsu will form on the ground and surround the area (1/2 mile radius). Anyone within this area will be locked into combat with Asuka with no way out. She has essentially created a circular arena where the floor is a snake pit and there is a small, 20 ft circular, stage free of snakes. The stage is only a foot off the floor from the snakes. Stage aside, the rest of the floor is just entirely made of various colored reiatsu snakes. It is made up of Green reiatsu snakes. These snakes are sticky and suck reiatsu. One snake will suck out 100 reiatsu per turn. Snakes move at 100 speed and have 100 strength. If a snake chooses to bite, it will take out another 100 reiatsu and the next bite from another snake will take out 200 and so on…
They work like leeches and will slowly start attempting to make their way onto the stage.
Post 0/5 - Arena is made and the stage is set
Post 1/5 - Snakes making their way towards stage & start working their way up
Post 2/5 - Snakes start working their way up, 50% of the way there
Post 3/5 - Snakes on the stage, start moving towards the enemy.
Post 4/5 & 5/5 - Snakes on the stage will start going for the enemy.
Drawback: This technique will cost 600 Reiatsu. Opponents with a 50% Superior OS stat may break out of the arena easily. Asuka has an extremely limited time to incapacitate her foe.
Segunda Etapa Overall Ability:
Asuka’s Segunda Etapa. Here the story of Medusa & Perseus will be played. It will be as if it is being played from start to finish. Her Primera focused mainly on the aspects of certain characters but now we’re doing the entirety of the story. Some of these abilities are entirely new. The concept in the end is still the same. Non-lethality. Asuka refuses to kill and non of her abilities are deadly in anyway shape or form. However, in Segunda Etapa, her techniques will make you wish you were dead.
One Wrong Look v2:
Asuka retains the same ability from her Primera Etapa overall ability (One Wrong Look). However, it is being kicked up quite a notch. She acquires snake scale reiatsu which acts like armor. If someone touches her, they would suffer temporary petrification. If someone were to touch her skin, that part of them would turn to stone. If someone poked Asuka's skin with their finger, then their entire finger turns to stone. If they punch her, then their entire fist turns to stone. The petrification only lasts one post. It is temporary
Her aura actually slowly petrifies it. Making it harder for her target to perform techniques while within a certain distance of her. Like say it stagnates the flow of reiatsu, causing their techniques to require more effort and cost more to even activate (30% ). This effect (cost increase) occurs within 15ft of Asuka. Like they actually have to concentrate to even use reiatsu based techniques., allowing Asuka ample time to react and attack her target.
All of these effects require a 50% superior OS to resist.
Segunda Etapa Appearance:
Zanpakuto Techniques:
King’s Wish: Polydectes wanted Perseus to hunt down and bring the head of his target. While Asuka isn’t severing any heads, she’s going to want to be closer to you so she can hunt you. She will have a 15 - 50 ft raidus "safe" aura surrounding her that will make you want to be closer. The closer someone gets to Asuka, the better they will feel, even within the safe aura.
The closer you are to the outside, the more painful it is. Being outside will make the opponent feel as though their whole body is on fire. It will feel as though their insides were set on fire and being twisted. If you are outside of the safe aura, you body will start to slowly petrify. Gray patches on the opponents skin will slowly start to develop and from the torso, the petrification will slowly start to spider. Spending 2 posts outside of her safe aura will turn the person to stone for one post.
The only way to remedy this is to move closer to her. They will only feel immense comfort and pleasure the closer they are to Asuka. The closer they get, the better they feel. Any patches or petrification they suffer from will slowly start to disappear. They will be rewarded for not being too far from Asuka.
The "painful" aura begins at 50 feet.
Drawback: Costs 250 Reiatsu. This technique costs an additional 50 reiatsu to keep it active. Having a 50% Superior OS can resist the effect of petrification and 3 points in Pain Tolerance can make the burning effect Tolerable.
The Gods: Perseus received many gifts from the gods to aid him in his quest. A helmet of invisibility from Hades & a mirror shield from Athena (Not including the sandals bc Asuka already has wings here.). She will gain two aspects representing two of the items Perseus received to aid him in his quest.
A reflective green reiatsu shield with a small snake eye in the middle will attach itself to Asuka’s wrist. It is a circular 2.5 foot shield. The durability is equal to Asuka’s RS and has the ability to store & reflect attacks. Simple. She may only hold up to three attacks at a time. If the shield has seen an attack, it can fire one of the attacks it has seen & blocked. For example, if someone fires a kido spell at Asuka, she can “remember the kido” and fire it from the shield later on with the intensity of her own Reiatsu Strength. The same goes with sword strikes and punches. If a sword strike aimed at the left arm was planned and hits Asuka’s shield, a copy of that same exact movement will be inflicted on the opponent. She fires it at 2x the original techs speed.
The invisibility aspect simply allows Asuka to mask and conceal her reiatsu entirely for 1 post. It cannot be detected by Energy Sensory or Sight. The undetectable Reiatsu does not prevent the gaze attraction of One Wrong Look v2.
Drawbacks: It costs 150 to create the shield & 25 per post to keep it active. It will cost the same amount of reiatsu to copy the attack, and half that amount to fire it. If a technique costs 400 reiatsu, she will have to pay 400 reiatsu to use it. Physical attacks to the shield cost just be 50 and 25 to release.
Regicide: When Perseus killed the king, he killed everyone else who was foolish enough to look at Medusa’s head. Everyone in the royal court had turned to stone. Oh dear. Asuka’s ultimate technique. Asuka will drag anyone with less RS superiority into a pseudo palace. The palace is a 40x70ft rectangle. The palace is extraordinarily beautiful; A palace fit for the greatest of Kings. Only, it doesn’t stay beautiful for long. On each post, this place becomes more and more like hell. The palace is formed at 8000 speed.
Post 1: Eyes suddenly fill the palace. If the opponent looks into the eyes, they will be petrified on sight. There will be a reiatsu flare before the eyes have opened.
The drawback to this is to close your eyes.
Post 2: Small green reiatsu snakes will slowly crawl their way into the palace. They have the same effect at the snakes from Athena's Curse.
The drawback is that they are easily killable
Post 3: A poison gas just like the one from Stheno's Toxin will start to roll in and fill the room. Has the same effects. Will take two posts to fill.
The drawback is, don't breathe it in. The same skills in poison resistance will help fight it and the 2x offensive stat will resist it regardless of skill and will also follow the same drawbacks as the previous technique. This will be reposted in italics for clarification purposes.
Depending on your skill in poison resist, the poison will affect you in the following ways:
1 in Poison Resist OR Pain Tolerance & Calm Mind - The poison is nearly unbearable. You’ll manage better than those who don’t have points in this skill but isn’t easy. Standing is very hard but not impossible.
2 in Poison Resist/Pain Tolerance & Calm Mind - The poison isn’t tolerable but not unbearable. Can at least stand.
3 in Poison Resist/Pain Tolerance & Calm Mind - Poison is barely tolerable, you will be in much better standing than the others and will still be able to fight.
This technique lasts for 6 posts.
Drawbacks: Costs 800 Reiatsu to activate. Breaking out of the palace requires 50% the OS.

★ Technique Name: [Pesquis Kai: Medusa No Guntai]
Class: [3] - 7-1.
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other
Technique Element: [None] - If any
Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]
Translation: Custom Pesquis: Medusa's Army.
What does this do? Glad you asked. It's a special Pesquis that Asuka alone can use, and it's for use in conjunction with some of her Ressurection techniques. She can use it without this of course, but it would work best in her released state. It's a special Pesquis that creates dozens and dozens of floating eyeballs within her Pesquis radius. It lasts for 5 posts, like a normal Pesquis. The eyes have the same abilities as Asuka's eyes, meaning the same powers, senses, etc. Techniques cast with the eyes will work with the summoned eyes. There are so many eyes, that it's probably impossible to destroy them. Well over three hundred and fifty per mile radius. Depending on how far out the default Pesquis can extend (one mile per 50 energy sensory), that's how many miles will have these eyes floating everywhere, watching. The eyes feed information to Asuka's mind like a computer. It doesn't overload her mind because the technique causes her mind to activate more of it's unused potential, so that it can process better. Hiding from her is impossible.
How to use technique: [How do you use this technique? List below.]
Just activate it and dock reiatsu. It must be reactivated every time the post timing reaches 5/5, or the eyes will disappear.
Drawback: [What are the disadvantages and drawbacks of your technique? Don't forget that the drawback must be equal in strength to the technique. List everything related to the drawback below.]
The reiatsu cost is fatiguing. Also, Asuka will feel pain whenever one of the eyes is destroyed. Furthermore, whatever the eyes sees, she sees. Enemies can do a lot of things to take advantage of this fact. She can be stunned by blinding techniques used on these eyes, though it won't blind her much, obviously. Furthermore, this runs the risk of damaging the brain, since it forces open expansion on it. Overuse of this technique is certainly not something to do. If used more than twice within a 24 hour period, this technique will result in mental damage, preventing movement signals. This means immobilization for 48 hours after the damage is incurred.

★ Technique Name: [Decoy Cero]
Class: [4 - Costs 100 or 200 reiatsu] - 7-1.
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique] - Kidou, Quincy Technique, Bount Technique, Human Technique, Hollow Technique, Other
Technique Element: [Stone] - If any
Technique Description and Effects: [What does your technique do? How strong is it? What is it's range of abilities? List these things below.]
This is probably one of the best techniques for battle. Unlike all other Cero, by default this one costs only 100 reiatsu! When fired initially, 10 reiatsu only. The reason that this is alright is that this Cero doesn't inflict damage. It fires off for the 100, and it looks like a normal Cero, large and damaging. Nothing that can be sensed about it will make it seem otherwise. This can get the opponent to waste valuable reiatsu trying to defend against it. But here's where it gets fun. The enemy can sense (after the first time experiencing it only) the difference in reiatsu output. With 100+ in energy sensory (or if they have an active technique), they can sense that not much reiatsu was lost in the firing of this technique. Therefore, they may assume they can just walk through it. Upon impact, the user can give up an additional 100 reiatsu, and this will instantaneously turn into a regular Cero just as it has already impacted. The enemy will be shocked, no doubt.

Stated above.

Same as a normal Cero.

★ Technique Name: [Bala Oscuras] (Black Bullet)
Class: [3]
Technique Type: [Hollow Technique]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects: [The Espada-only version of the bala. The Bala Oscuras (Dark Bullet) version turns the bala into a jet black and fires it with tremendous velocity and power. This can only be used while in Release Stages. It packs the nearly punch of half a Gran Rey Cero. Unlike regular Bala, which merely puts holes in adversaries, and occasionally blows limbs off, this one will blast holes easily twice the size of the actual blast, and splash burns across the enemy as well. On top of that, it is capable of completely disintegrating limbs, rather than just blowing them off, meaning that reattachment is impossible.]
How to use technique: [Same as regular Bala]
Drawback: [Unlike Cero Oscuras, this technique requires there be the user's blood on their hand, rather similar to the conditions for Gran Rey Cero. This will also slowly burn the hand with each use. Consecutive uses will add second and third degree burns to the hand that uses it. After too many uses, around 6 or 7, that hand will not be able to use any more reiatsu based techniques, unless it is healed. High speed regeneration cannot heal the damage caused by this technique.]
