Rough Start Roughhousing [JT w/ Cami]

[Shio "Mod Soul" Kyrou]

"WOOHOO- YEAHHH~!!"; A distinct and reverberating voice echoed high above the dome of Las Noches, a familiar voice, and incredibly proud voice that sounded to be in much higher spirits today than as of late. Loud, frightening thuds echoed throughout the entirety of the lower floors of the renowned Espada, accompanied by the occasional rowdy cheer of glee.

Taking its fist, clenching it into a crystalline ball, the anomaly threw out a catastrophic punch; one which blasted a hole clean through yet another obstacle. The entity withdrew its arm and hopped around in place merrily, seeming to shake off a little bit of energy with each pace made side to side. Rushing through the portal it had made with high velocity.

"Hahaha~ This feels - great - and by that I mean seriously ultra-fantastic." Taking its fist, the entity, comprised of spiritual essence, continued to dart and tear through any obstacle crossed its path. It wasn't in anger, nor of spite, not some kind of typical-run-of-your-day revenge story that Arrancar always seemed to impose upon themselves.

No, this entity, which seemed to take the form of the - Quinta Espada - had no other objective on their mind than fun; today was a day to cut loose and have pure unadulterated fun! And what better way to accomplish this than to take their newly evolved and super perfected form of their super-special-secret Hollow Technique out for a joyride!

Maniacal laughter roared through the halls as much as did the rumbling of destruction; "Suck on your socks, Fido! I'm every bit as strong as your mangy butt now!" The distinctly feminine voice exclaimed without any known audience. Taking her time to stop her high-speed rush, stretch her legs back and forth several times, then squat before leaping.

Whilst high in the air, the Septima could sense everything through the senses of her Espada doppelganger; taking the opportunity whilst launched, through a crumbling ceiling of yet another unfortunate building, to try and find some poor and involuntary soul to play with.

[Camila Adaronde]

Humming a surprisingly chipper tune for the Vizard, Camila spent her afternoon walking down the corridors of Las Noches. After her rather... uneventful meeting with a certain someone, she figured that taking it upon herself in order to meet with the rest of the Espada was probably going to be the move, all things considered. She'd already met with Marik, she scuffled with Arcadus, chatted with Serraph, and made enemies with Lagos. There were only a few more individuals that she had to meet with; including finding Ailene again.

Though, it seemed that the ground beneath her feet had softly begun to rumble.

What on earth? She thought to herself, the hell is causing something like that? If nothing else she figured it was likely some high-end combatant and/or able-bodied fighter. Perhaps one of the Espada? She'd only really have the opportunity to find that out upon investigating. Which, she fully prepared to do.

Holding her hand in front of her face, Camila took the opportunity to create the chitinous mask that came from her inner hollow. Within a few short moments, the angelic structure had rested itself atop her face with a rather tight fit. She couldn't help but smile. Each and every time she donned the thing felt so... surreal. Not quite off-putting, but more simply surprising at how quickly she'd reached this stage in her journey.

Regardless of that fact, she took a moment to listen carefully to just where such devastation was being caused. After a short moment, thanks to her heightened senses, Camila had been able to pick up on a rather excitable voice from down the hall. At the very least, she was glad to hear that she was on the same floor as that individual. Smirking, the Vizard crouched down for a moment, as to prepare for some kind of race. Taking a deep breath, she threw herself forward into a sprint.

BAM. BAM. BAM.

Every couple of seconds, another loud crash, followed by the crumbling of concrete and other building material followed the Vizard as she simply utilized her physical prowess to simply run through the walls, shouldering most of the impact. Literally. In time, she'd eventually stumble upon a rather... peculiar sight. It seemed to be the Quinta Espada. "I knew it!" she called out, "Good seeing you again, Demonliogalgo."

[Shio "Mod Soul" Kyrou]

Soaring through the air by utilizing her newfound incredible strength was as easy to her as gliding through the sky as a bird. The crystalline structure that awfully resembled the well-known Quinta Espada was incredibly lifelike, detailed, if one was not inspecting closely it would be difficult to notice that it was not created from flesh, as could've easily been the case for Cami.

Upon the unfamiliar voice reaching the senses of the doll, the structure turned around in mid-air to face her, it's lifelike expressions showing a fair bit of confusion at first, its eyes a prismatic creation reflected the sight of Cami in her view; her expression turned first from surprise, to curiosity, then to a playful and 'oh no, you wouldn't...' kind of grin.

Performing her aerial acrobatics in a body that held such enormous strength was easier to herself than rolling out of bed in the morning, the sheer number of times the plushie had been thrown around in her light-as-feather form. Performing something like a twist in mid-air, setting her feet into a nearby dome-tall pillar that the Septima had lunged at with her initial leap, she once again sunk into a crouch which then resulted in a larger-than-life explosive leap.

This leap quite - literally - exploded the pillar out from under her feet; Cami at this point might be surprised, this was certainly no welcome party. As the masucline form of the Quinta rocketed through the air, slamming into the ground mere meters away from the woman, her superheroes landing sent pieces of rubble tearing through the air, a thick dust kicked up from the explosion of the plummet, a distinctly non-masculine voice yelled out.

"What are you, some kind of hollow?!" - As swiftly as that was spoken, a swirling mass of dust blew up from the sudden force of her crystalline form rushing out of the cloud; a head-on collision intended for Cami as Shio, in pilot of her Synthetic Espada, darted within Cami's personal space in mere moments, a cheerful smile plastered over the Espada which would become noticably uncharacteristic of the Quinta she perhaps knew.

Its prismatic and out-of-place expression ingrained in Cami's memory within the fraction of a second it took for the entity to then take a swing at her; withdrawing its right arm in this alarming sequence of explosive actions, before thrusting it forward in such a manner that aimed to take the mask Cami had created right off - by shattering it.

[Camila Adaronde]

As "Rio" leapt into the air, taking to the sky within a rather short amount of time, Camila couldn't help but find herself rather confused. She didn't quite expect him to approach her so quickly; quite the opposite, in fact! If nothing else, she'd expected him to just outright ignore her. To say she was confused would've been an understatement.

Upon Rio's arrival, with a rather noteworthy shaking of the ground, Camila did what she could to quickly catch her balance. Lowering her stance, and trying to ground herself, Camila squinted her eyes. "Aye," she started, "what was that?" She couldn't help but chuckle regardless. If nothing else, it was a rather entertaining situation to be in. The fact that she could've seen herself in the Rio very evidently meant that this Rio wasn't actually... Rio.

As dust kicked up in front of her, rather quickly obscuring her forward view within a short amount of time, Camila heard a rather peculiar call-out from the cloud of dust. "You could say that, yeah!" Camila shouted back. If nothing else, she was proud of her hollowlike heritage! Though, was this the first time that this woman had heard of a Vizard? It was hard to say, but it seemed that there was something coming toward her rather quickly; a fist-flavored something, aiming directly for her head.

Grabbing for one of her Ōdachi, and partially drawing the weapon in order to catch the strike primed for her face, Camila did what she could to utilize the rather noticeable benefits that came from Camila's mask. "Lookin' for a fight, are we~?" She spoke, a very clear, very happy smile rising to her lips, "well, I'd be happy to oblige!" From there, Camila proceeded to shoulder-check the Rio-clone, looking to send them as far back as she could.

After hopefully creating a bit of distance between the two, Camila proceeded to draw her twin swords, with quite a wide smile on her face. "You're evidently not the Quinta I've come to know; if you don't mind my askin', who exactly are you, n' why're you parading around in his clothes like that?" She hadn't thought to make the first move in their little duel, but wasn't exactly going to let her guard down. If nothing else, she was quite excited to see just what this individual was going to do!

[Shio "Mod Soul" Kyrou]

It wasn't going to be easy, this was the immediate thought that Shio had as her own speed was unnaturally outclassed; her pristine crystallized fist landing a blow square against the exposed blade of her opponent, a look of surprise then immediate to follow. Exposed and taken by surprise by the shoulder-to-shoulder glance, it was a direct hit without a doubt.

Looking to mitigate what whiplash-inducing knockback she could, and using the full strength of her Synthetic Espada, Shio pushed back against the force in retaliation; her puppeted body was still outclassed even in this catagory, however, and was launched back at least a couple ten feet from Cami herself. Doing a full twist before scraping to a halt on all-fours.

Must've been comical seeing the form of the Quinta Espada make such a cat-like motion, nonetheless it had managed to stop her from being tossed too far. Was Shio looking for a fight? Absolutely! And such had her face written all over it, because it appeared that she had found herself a real catch. "You're evidently not the Quinta I've come to know; if you don't mind my askin', who exactly are you, n' why're you parading around in his clothes like that?" - and Shio laughed.

Sinking lower into her ready-to-pounce posture, one of the puppets arms smoothed over its shoulder as its attention and eyes were briefly drawn to the damage it had sustained. "It just felt right y'know? He's just the easiest to move around in." Explained the puppet, its displaced voice sounding to reverberate through its prismatic form. "Apologies to ya then- I must've mistaken you for some run-of-the-mill Hollow, but you're clearly much tougher than that; in that case, I should be here in person, so don't go expectin' me to hold back!".

Ending that dialogue with a firmly obstinate tone of voice, a shift happened in its puppet form; a sudden explosion of energy, for which Camila herself would lack the sensory capabilties to determine the source of immediately, nonetheless it raised her opponents spiritual capabilities by double, as a perhaps familiar azure flame began to wisp and coil around the form of the Septima's weapon, flame lapping at the dust kicked up in the air.

Cami was familiar with Hell, so there was no way 'in it' that she was not going to recognize the distinct aura to the flame; that being said, the next words to vibrate through the puppet and its surroundings would immediately contradict any misconceptions that should be starting to form. "I'm the strongest hollow in Hueco Mundo!-" With extra emphasis on the 'hollow' part. "And the most charming too if-I-do-say-so-myself." Which Shio admitted was not an incredibly high bar for Hollows. "You can have my name if you can keep up-!".

Rising from her defensive feline posture, the crystalline form of the Quinta began to form a solid red beam of condensed reiatsu around its mouth - distinctly, a Cero. It was not a moment before it were fully charged, but enough so that Cami could retaliate. Though, Shio had her doubts that she would, it'd be less fun that way? Something told her.

Launching her Cero attack at Cami not even moments later, the all-encompassing red-beam turned a gradiant of azure in its path as the attack simultaneously grew louder, larger, accompanied by that signature static sound of the Cero. This was certainly the signature attack of a Hollow; it was also a cover-up move. As the Cero flied in its path towards Cami, the louder static noise of the blast covered up the more subtle sound of Shio's following Sonido.

Emerging straight from her own azure Cero, the rippling form of her prismatic Synthetic Espada exploded out from the energy-based attack with rippling hellfire. Wild smile written on its face, she was quite clearly enjoying letting loose like this; an opportunity she had not had in full until now. Immediately as the doll emerged, she sought to thrust the crystalline palm of her puppet's undamaged arm straight into the center-body of this woman, looking to return to her the same kindness that she had previously shown her new favorite toy.

{Spiritual Discipline: Chakra - Mastered}Class: 1

Technique Type: HWD Tech

Usable By: Bount, Mod Souls, Fullbringers, Non Vandenreich Quincy, HWD Nakabakki

Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: The soul. Essentially the core of one's true self. And to manifest its energy is a feat anyone can accomplish. When you gaze at all of the spiritually aware, you see them blasting their spiritual energy around themselves. Sometimes they can flex it and use the force it generates to their advantage. Other times they can create projectiles, or concoct actual physical changes. But this technique is different.

The cost for this is a full 800 reiatsu, but it lasts for 20 posts. As long as it is active, the user's hands gain the power to directly utilize their own reiatsu. How? Anything they touch, should they allow it, including their own body, can be imbued with a flame of their choosing. This fire isn't hot, and does not burn. What it does it enhance offensive and defensive capability. This can be used on techniques, releases, body, attacks, weapons, etc.

As long as that flame coats an object, it is considered "class neutral" and "value neutral." Unless struck by a superior class or 2x offensive stat or more, it will always win in conflict against anything that is without a flame. In other words, say Player A utilizes Chakra on their sword and Player B has some sort of Hierro-like ability. Player A, except with the aforementioned limitations, will always be able to cut clean through that defense and sever it.

If the target is also coated in flames, however, then the neutrality of class and value is lost against that target, and once again it is treated as a clash of offensive power or class, as per normal rules. Therefore, this technique is a must for top level HWD, as it is almost impossible to succeed in combat without it. Just to meet the high tier status quo, this technique is required.

How to Use Technique: It is activated for the 800 reiatsu cost, and it is special in that no technique that lowers reiatsu cost can lower the cost of this technique. Furthermore, anyone who can charge or generate reiatsu cannot use any such methods of charge or regeneration while this technique is active. To learn this technique, user must know Willpower, Output, Movement, and Energy Generate.

Drawback: 800 reiatsu cost, in addition to considerable stamina drain the longer this technique is used. In addition, anyone who uses this technique bleeds 20% more profusely out of wounds while it is active.

-200 Cero

[Camila Adaronde]

It seemed that her shoulder check had been a success. Celebrating internally as she created a bit of distance between the two of them, Camila followed through with her actions and words, drawing her blades and speaking her mind. Similarly, she took the opportunity to try to analyze her opponent to the best of her capabilities; this was nothing if not an odd encounter for her. The closest thing that she'd seen to powers like this was Ludwig's Zanpakutō, but even that hadn't been able to create something this close to the real deal. It was a fun thought, no doubt.

As Shio spoke her mind in turn, Camila couldn't help but let a wide, toothy grin permeate across her lips. Oh, this was getting thrilling! "Trust me," she started, "no need to apologize for somethin' like that. 'Fact that you consider me a Hollow is a great enough feeling as it is!" In truth, she'd meant it. She'd felt at home since her arrival within Hueco Mundo, and felt even more at home within the walls of Las Noches. It was a feeling she wasn't going to trade for the world.

As Shio finally made an appearance for a moment, Camila noticed the flames of hell quite readily. Those were flames that she was never, ever going to forget. If nothing else, those flames prompted an eyebrow raise from Camila. "You from down under?" She asked. Assuming Shio knew what she meant, ignoring the obvious, then she'd have her answer.

Regardless of that fact though, it seemed that Shio was to cement a different story in her words. As she spoke about being the strongest Hollow in Hueco Mundo, Camila raised another eyebrow. It seemed that if nothing else, she was rather confident in her skill. Perhaps it'd be worth putting to the test! "All I've gotta do is keep up, yeah?" As she lowered her stance, Camila allowed her arms to drape behind her just a bit.

It was then that Camila had made notice of the charging of a technique headed her way; given her ability to fire the same one, she recognized it rather quickly as that of a Cero. Opening her mouth at the same time, the Vizard began to funnel some of her own reiatsu into the technique. "I think we can arrange that!!" As the nigh-deafening roars from both techniques echoed outward, Camila made sure to hold her own until Shio had fired off hers toward her.

Once that happened, Camila unleashed her own upon her "foe".

As both beams immediately made contact with one another, an explosive release of force followed shortly thereafter. Though, such a display did little more than confuse Camila; from what she could tell, Shio had fired off some sort of basic Cero. Camila had her mask on at the time. She knew that her Cero weren't weak! Was she just outclassed that significantly? There was no way that could've been the case... Right?

Unfortunately, she hadn't the time to think on the matter, as it seemed that the Espada had already begun to rush her through cover from the Cero itself. "Tricky little play there!" Camila shouted, swinging an arm up toward the body. Unfortunately, she'd been a little late to the draw, and ended up a taking off a bit more than she'd be able to chew for the time. Taking the strike and sliding a number of feet back from the blow that had been inflicted upon her, Camila released a breath.

The strike that Shio had made against her very quickly took the wind from her lungs. While she still remained standing out of her sheer force of will and ability to tolerate the injuries dealt to her, she was still very quickly winded. Utilizing one of her blades, Camila planted the weapon into the ground for a moment in order to catch herself.

"Tch," she scoffed, "some strike you've made there." Assuredly, Camila did what she could to stand back up. Pointing her blades back down to the side once more, she squinted her eyes beneath her mask. "If I'm to deal with something like that, I think it's time I kick it up a notch myself, yeah?" A wicked grin persisted across the girl's lips. It had been the first time she'd been given the opportunity to utilize her new abilities. She was damned well going to take it! "Contaminate, Makkana Itan! Defile, Samuzora Kishi!"

As her words finished, and her own spiritual prowess flared around her, both her swords had begun to quickly change shape. In her left, the sword had become a golden greatsword, coated in moving, writhing bits and pieces of flesh and sinew. In her right, a deep blue greatsword with a blade as broad as her shoulders and a pattern as starry as the night sky. Slinging the larger of the two swords over her shoulder like it was nothing, Camila couldn't help but allow her smile to widen. The ground beneath her feet, and the air surrounding her began to almost mutate, turning into a sort of fleshlike platform beneath her feet, and slowly coating the area with a thin fog.

{Vizard's Cero}
Technique Name: Vizard’s Cero

Class: 4-2 - 40 TTP to Learn, 80 TTP to Proficient, 180 TTP to Master.

Technique Type: Vizard Technique.

Usable By: Vizard.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Cost: 150, 250, 400 Reiatsu.

Description: A frequent ability among Hollows and Arrancar is Cero, a technique which releases a blast of pure spiritual energy with deadly explosive force. Bearing the power of a Hollow themselves, Vizards can learn a similar ability, though theirs is augmented further by combining both their spiritual energy with their Inner Hollow’s. The result is a deadly technique far more powerful than that of an average Cero, allowing a Vizard to strike a devastating blow against their foes.

At Learned, this is a basic Class 4 Cero, albeit with a Shinigami’s energy signature rather than a Hollow’s for those who are sensitive enough to discern the two. It is at Proficient that this technique becomes more potent: not only does the technique evolve to now be Class 3, but it also gains an automatic 50% bonus to the Reiatsu Strength of the technique if used without the Vizard Mask active. Additionally, traces of both Hollow and Shinigami energy are present in the technique. Finally, at Mastered, this technique becomes Class 2, and is given a 100% boost to the Reiatsu Strength of the technique when used without the mask, giving it the same power as when a Vizard’s Mask is worn.

How to Use: Gather energy and release from a palm. As this technique grows stronger, Hollow energy is added into the technique, making it more powerful.

Incantation: N/A.

Drawbacks: While this technique becomes more powerful with increased mastery, it also becomes more expensive, expending more energy for its increase in force. Initially, the Vizard’s Cero costs 150 Reiatsu, and the cost increases to 250 Reiatsu at Class 3. At Class 2, it increases to 400 Reiatsu per use.

{Makkana Itan Overall Ability}

Reforged from the remnants of Buveur de Sang, Makkana Itan exists as a Zanpakutō to decimate and carve through those that prove to be Camila’s foes. Upon its release, this Zanpakutō serves two purposes; to paint the ground red with the blood of those that dare oppose the Vizard, and to serve as an affront to Soul Society and everything it stands for. While released, Camila's reiatsu is sensed purely as that of a Hollow.

From the time that Makkana Itan is released, the weapon immediately begins to exude a corruptive influence over the world around it. Makkana Itan will grant Camila one Contaminated Blood every time she lands a strike with this Zanpakutō on her opponents, and every time she is struck. These Contaminated Blood are spent through Makkana Itan’s release abilities, though do possess benefits simply by holding onto them.

For every Contaminated Blood that Camila gains, the girl’s Inner World will begin to bleed out from beneath her, reaching a number of feet in radius equal to the amount of Contaminated Blood she’s gained since releasing Makkana Itan. This distance does not decrease as she spends these. The contaminated area around Camila will follow her as she moves, but will similarly leave a trail of contaminated area behind her as she moves about, allowing her to potentially cover quite an amount of distance in the process. This contamination only affects the ground; the air and sky remain untouched with just Makkana Itan. This contaminating effect can be suppressed as Camila sees fit, preventing her from spreading more land as she moves about, but will not reverse what has already been contaminated. Contaminated land will spread at the end of each post, covering a number of feet in all directions equal to the amount of Contaminated Blood Camila had finished that post with. Those that remain within the contaminated areas scattered about by Camila will gain one Contaminated Blood; this includes Camila herself.

While Camila is immune to the effects of Contaminated Blood and her contaminated ground, those around her are not. Existing within the Contaminated ground will cause someone to lose a percentage of their Maximum Reiatsu pool equivalent to their Contaminated Blood total. This stolen reiatsu is stored within the environment itself, stored in order to spread the contaminated ground. Every 100 points of reiatsu stolen will expand all existing patches of contaminated ground by one foot in all directions. Should an individual reach 0 reiatsu, they’ll succumb to the toxin currently within their system.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Samuzora Kishi Overall Ability}

Reforged from the remains of Kōsei Kādo, Samuzora Kishi exists as a Zanpakutō to fulfill a similar goal to Makkana Itan. Instead of focusing on the ground beneath Camila’s feet, however, much as its name suggests, Samuzora Kishi focuses toward control over the air above the girl. Similar to the former, Samuzora Kishi also aims to desecrate that which Soul Society stands for, leaving a rather noteworthy path of destruction in its wake. While released, Camila's reiatsu is sensed purely as that of a Hollow.

Through Samuzora Kishi, Camila is to keep track of another resource; that of Defiled Starlight. Similarly to Makkana Itan, Defiled Starlight is gained once per post, when Camila lands strikes with Samuzora Kishi against her opponents, and when she takes hits. Defiled Starlight is used to fuel Samuzora Kishi’s release abilities, as one can expect. Though, there are a few additional effects attached to the resource as well.

Much like Makkana Itan, releasing Samuzora Kishi similarly causes Camila’s inner world to bleed out around her, and in a similar way; one foot per Defiled Starlight she's collected since releasing will be coated in the same thick fog that exists within her inner world. This defiled area will follow the girl, but will also be left behind as she moves, covering quite a bit of area as she moves around. Samuzora Kishi will only coat the air; the ground around her will remain unaffected with just Samuzora Kishi active. Every post will cause every defiled area to expand a number of feet in all directions equal to the amount of Defiled Starlight Camila finished that post with. Those that remain within these defiled areas will gain one Defiled Starlight; this includes Camila. Despite being a fog, these defiled zones do not hinder the ability of others to see through it. This defiling effect can be suppressed as Camila sees fit, preventing her from spreading more fog as she moves about, but will not reverse what has already been defiled.

Defiled Starlight aims to corrupt and thicken the air across the battlefield. While within these defiled areas, those that possess any amount of Defiled Starlight (including Camila’s allies, excluding Camila) will have their Speed dropped by 3%, stacking up to 75%. This extends to any technique, manifestation, or creation that happens to be within this area; summons and summon-adjacent entities track Defiled Starlight separately from their creator, but created weapons, effects from techniques, and other inanimate creations utilize their creator’s amount of Defiled Starlight. Summons and inanimate creations can have their speed reduced down to as low as 50 instead. Even after leaving a defiled zone, this speed reduction still persists for techniques, but for sentient summons and individuals this speed reduction will immediately be restored.

[Shio "Mod Soul" Kyrou]

Oh, yeah, landing that attack felt - good - Shio felt. As Camila was sent back a short distance, the puppet simultaneously paced back and forth in place, like a boxer might do to show off a little and shake off their ambient energy, "Tricky little play there!" - Camila managed to wheeze out - "Thank ya, quite proud of it myself!" Shio retaliated, with a gratifying smile.

That Cero clash earlier had been unexpected, and Cami herself was still quite an anomaly to her; just like Shio, she somehow sensed different than an ordinary Hollow. There were certainly abundant amounts of Hollow reiatsu there, but it was mixed with something else. "Tch," and Shio raised her head, "some strike you've made there." - 'Quite', the doll thought to herself.

"If I'm to deal with something like that, I think it's time I kick it up a notch myself, yeah?"

"Oh yes." Shio replied in a curt, taunting, though incredibly playful manner. As Camila began to enunciate what sounded like some sort of release phrase - one that Shio assumed to be similar to an Arrancar's - the puppet launched itself back to gain some distance. "Contaminate, Makkana Itan! Defile, Samuzora Kishi!".

Now this... this was a treat. Whilst her opponent was certainly already a tough match, getting to experience what it was like to fight someone in their released state was a thing that Shio had scarcely experienced up until now. The two shimmering greatswords that permeated an aura of dread in the area surrounding, sparked joy in each fiber of her being.

Once more, that nagging feeling Shio had felt about the Hollow reiatsu of Camila being mixed with anothers? It was gone, all that she felt now was just that. "Ready when you are!", a comment made towards Shio as the puppet sunk again into its signature low-crouch, excitement coursing through its crystal form. Even though the release looked different from Ressurection, it didn't matter, "...You're definitely a Hollow alright!"; Shio chuckled.

Blasting off from her crouching position with a Sonido, the Synthetic Espada burst the area around her by taking off; placing absolutely no restraint in the following sequence of attacks. The doll was experiencing some sort of adrenaline high right now, launching herself at full speed around Cami, bounding off the walls, utilizing the full speed and velocity that her puppet had available. It felt tiring, but it was secondary to the enjoyment she felt.

Each rebound off of a surface she placed herself upon blasted it with the full might of her Strength, and each time Shio rebounded off a surface, she would take aim, pointing at Cami in a playful style, coalescing potent spiritual energies into a Bala in a matter of split second each time she landed; this potent Bala was markedly the same gradient shade of azure-red that her Cero had been, so Cami could likely tell it was the same type of special, not at all ordinary type energy-based attack like she had experienced earlier.

Bounding from each wall, the stage they were fighting in was quite literally crumbling to pieces as remnant explosions, a dust storm kicked up, and compressed air pressure flooded the immediate area; it was like being amidst in the presence of a dust storm.

"AHAHAHA-" Shio laughed maniacally, hyped up on the sensation. It was after the seventh Bala that she had fired, and immediately after the third Sonido that sent her crashing into a nearby pillar, that the puppet she animated clutched its knuckles and feet deep into its surface, and as like all the others, it was crumbling. "You're not bad- not bad!". Preparing herself, doing the spiritual equivalent of 'taking a breather', the doll gathered her latent reiatsu.

Immediately, the pillar began to shake and rumble. "KIGEN-!", the disembodied voice of Shio yelled out. Greatswords all but the same size of Cami's began to form out of the crumbled remains of the pillar she clung to. These Greatswords, three in total, became wreathed in the same brilliant azure flame that the prismatic puppet was. Eyes of the puppet wide with thrill, a piercing gaze directed straight toward Cami.

{Kigen: Moddo Ne (Mod Root) - Mastered}Class: 8 - 1 (1)

Technique Type: Mod Soul Technique

Usable By: Mod Souls

Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: A Mod Soul's ability to reach out with its Reiatsu and take control of a body it inhabits is something truly unique. By simply surrounding itself with material, it can reach out, and make that substance its own body, take it in and use it as if it were part of itself, and for all intents and purposes, become its surroundings.

This technique works on the basic principle of the Mod Soul's ability to take over that which is within its surroundings. By having its Reiatsu extend from the body that it is physically inhabiting and branching tiny roots of it's own Reiatsu, the user implants them into the surroundings before taking them into their body, adding the material to the body they already inhabit, making it a part of them. In its most fundamental stages, this ability can simply be used to create a shell of material around the user from surrounding materials in very thin layers. In its most powerful of forms it can integrate entire landscapes and take control of them. While this extension allows them to sense changes in the controlled environment, they do not receive pain as a result of it. Additionally, control of the environment is effected by Skills such as Battle Focus, Strength of Will, and any other mental skill that would effect their ability to concentrate on manipulating it (Having multiples increases this further, allowing extraordinary control). In addition to control, both buffs and debuffs of a Reiatsu nature can be passed to the Mod Soul through the environment that they have extended into. This control of the environment does not extend to Reiatsu attacks such as Cero or Kido unless the attack manipulates physical material such as water or fire. In these cases it can be controlled so long as the user has Superior Reiatsu Strength to the attack's power. The environment manipulated maintains its properties, and aside from the Speed at which it moves (based on the Mod Soul's Reiatsu Strength) its features such as durability and malleability are unchanged.

At Class 8-6 the user can take in dust or spirit particles in the air and make it a part of themselves. In this most simple of forms, it is as if the air surrounding them is a part of them, allowing Mod Souls to sense anything passing through this air as if it were touching them. While this does not hurt, it is a useful sensory tool that can be used to notice incoming objects. The effective range of this ability is approximately three meters, extending to four meters at Class 7 and ten meters at Class 6. This process costs 100 reiatsu to initiate and lasts four posts before it needs refreshing.

At Class 5-4 the user can, in addition to sensing and branching their Reiatsu into their surroundings, fuse these dust or spirit particles to their skin in small layers, allowing them to actually use material they are in direct contact with. This enables them to add protective layers of material to their body in order to create a surface, much like a weapon. Areas of their body that have had this layer added to them can be considered like the edge of a sword or other weapon and can be used to attack and parry incoming slashes, though reiatsu-based attacks and the like will tend to weaken the bonds and cause the layers to peel away. At Class 5 this layer can be applied to any small patch of skin no more than ten square inches in area. At class four this increases to an entire limb. This process takes 150 reiatsu to initiate and lasts for five posts at Class 5 and seven posts at Class 4.

At Class 3, the user can extend their Reiatsu into their immediate surroundings for brief moments. Anything nonliving within five meters of their body can, for a brief moment, become as though it is a part of them. They will feel anything passing through it, and they will be able to manipulate the material within as if it were a part of their body. This lasts for roughly fifteen seconds, or about one post, and costs 175 Reiatsu to initiate every time

At Class 2 The user can spread their influence, making their surroundings part of them. This allows their soul to take root in their surroundings. With this active, they can freely manipulate their surroundings within five meters of their body indefinitely, as well as any material that COMES into this range. This ability costs 500 reiatsu to activate and lasts for eight posts.

At Class 1 The user can not only influence their surroundings, but completely fuse with it. Taking in ambient materials, a Mod Soul can modify whatever body they inhabit into a weapon using surrounding materials, transforming their body and taking on a much more intimidating form. For seven posts, this form can be maintained and utilized, though it cannot be refreshed for another three posts after that as the Mod Soul takes time to recover, blocking them from any Class level of use during this time.

How to Use Technique: This uses the basic principle of a Mod Soul's ability to control a body it is placed within. To use, a Mod Soul Simply needs spread their spirit energy outside of that body in the form of tiny roots.

Technique Drawbacks: Using this technique, the Mod Soul's surroundings becomes a part of them in every way, as such any poisons or negative ailment abilities can use the affected surroundings as a means of spreading their debuff to the Mod Soul itself. This technique's TTP cost depends on the level being mastered. 5 TTP at class 8, 10 at class 7, and so on. However, one's aptitude with the technique must be "Upgraded" when learning the next highest class, paying the new ttp cost in order to upgrade the Tech, making up for the cost as if you learned at a higher class. It also cannot be used to affect Seki Seki rock.

{General Spiritual Technique: Dancing Weapon - Mastered}Class: 5

Technique Type: General Reiatsu

Usable By: All Races.

Technique Element: N/A.

Technique Description and Effects: Dancing Weapon is a technique that allows the user to free up their hands while still making use of a weapon. Upon activating Dancing Weapon, the user is able to cause their weapon(s) to float by their side. At Learned, one weapon can be chosen, at Proficient, up to three weapons can be chosen, and any number of weapons can be chosen at Mastered. While this is the case, multiple applications of this technique can exist at any given time; only targeting more weapons at the lower levels of mastery will cause the cost of this technique to increase significantly.

When a weapon is under the effects of Dancing Weapon, it is given the option to float by the side of the user. At any point, the user can simply let go of the affected weapons, and will them to move in the air, seemingly on their own. Because these weapons don't have the user's physical strength backing them, their striking ability is based off of the user's highest spiritual stat, with the weapon's speed being able to function at half of that stat.

These weapons are simply treated as an extension of the user, though, and still require the user's Instinct in order to be able to move. If the user would not reasonably be able to act due to their instinct being too low, the weapon will not be able to either. These weapons have a set range, being able to travel no more than 5 feet from the user at Learned, 15 feet from the user at Proficient, and 45 feet from the user at Mastered. Ranged weapons cannot be used with this technique until the technique is Mastered.

How to Use Technique: Charge reiatsu through a weapon to cause it to float.

Technique Drawbacks: One activation costs 100 reiatsu, and an additional 100 reiatsu per post. Weapons are treated as having one Skill Point lower than actually the case when being wielded. Other drawbacks are listed above.

[Camila Adaronde]

Camila felt... Odd. After decades slaving away in the midst of Seireitei, living on her own for a number of years, dealing with Hell for half a decade, and dealing with the turmoil that came from her inner hollow, one would think that the girl has had some rather noteworthy "ups" in her life. Though, nearly a century of time spent with what victories she did have didn't even begin to compare to how she felt in this very moment.

Whether the Septima knew it or not, her affirming comments toward Camila had meant more to her than quite easily anything else that had ever been said to the girl. After years of being told to follow certain paths, to live her life for others, and to all but give up her own free will to a degree, her words were enough to almost bring Camila to tears. Though, now wasn't the time to get emotional; she had a scuffle to fight in!

As "Rio" exploded to some unknown location, disappearing from sight through Sonido, Camila couldn't help but smirk. While preparedness wasn't exactly the girl's forte, she wasn't going to just let someone attack her for free if she could help it! Though, that was before the first bala slammed into her side. And then the second, then the fourth, and eventually the sixth. After all seven had collided with Camila, each one sending the girl sliding back with the impact, she slammed Makkana's blade straight into the ground with a huff. She'd moved about twenty feet from all of the blasts; these things packed quite a bit of punch! No way in hell they were normal Bala!

"Tch," she scoffed, "I'm not bad? I couldn't even see what the hell was goin' on there! Some attacks you've got there, that's for damned sure!" With a friendly-yet-fired-up smirk, Camila took a moment to look around her. While letting out her inner world was something that usually happened over a slow process, the impact against her proved to be quite a powerful force for letting out what was to come. More and more of the ground had turned to a horrid combination of chitin and sinew, as the fog that permeated around the girl only grew thicker with each passing second.

Though, she was quickly taken from her thoughts when Shio forced the pillars, and by extension the ground to rumble and quake. With the shout of a technique that Camila hadn't exactly been familiar with, she watched as the walls reshaped themselves into a set of greatswords; not unlike her own. Though, something made the Vizard squint her eyes. Just what on earth-

"HEY!!" she shouted, starting to walk forward, before eventually breaking into a run, "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU LEARN THAT TECHNIQUE!?" As she eventually started to sprint forward, Camila's red blade dragged against the ground. After closing the distance by about thirty or so feet, she raked her blade upward toward the Mod Soul, aiming to strike, but still being quite a distance back.

Though, she'd still try to find her mark. As she threw her blade forward, a stream of blood not unlike that of a shockwave of some kind launched from her blade, travelling at quite the speed aimed for the Mod Soul. Regardless of whether or not she struck, Camila was still to make quite a bit of headway with her release's abilities. Just how was Shio to react?

{Makkana Itan Overall Ability}

Reforged from the remnants of Buveur de Sang, Makkana Itan exists as a Zanpakutō to decimate and carve through those that prove to be Camila’s foes. Upon its release, this Zanpakutō serves two purposes; to paint the ground red with the blood of those that dare oppose the Vizard, and to serve as an affront to Soul Society and everything it stands for. While released, Camila's reiatsu is sensed purely as that of a Hollow.

From the time that Makkana Itan is released, the weapon immediately begins to exude a corruptive influence over the world around it. Makkana Itan will grant Camila one Contaminated Blood every time she lands a strike with this Zanpakutō on her opponents, and every time she is struck. These Contaminated Blood are spent through Makkana Itan’s release abilities, though do possess benefits simply by holding onto them.

For every Contaminated Blood that Camila gains, the girl’s Inner World will begin to bleed out from beneath her, reaching a number of feet in radius equal to the amount of Contaminated Blood she’s gained since releasing Makkana Itan. This distance does not decrease as she spends these. The contaminated area around Camila will follow her as she moves, but will similarly leave a trail of contaminated area behind her as she moves about, allowing her to potentially cover quite an amount of distance in the process. This contamination only affects the ground; the air and sky remain untouched with just Makkana Itan. This contaminating effect can be suppressed as Camila sees fit, preventing her from spreading more land as she moves about, but will not reverse what has already been contaminated. Contaminated land will spread at the end of each post, covering a number of feet in all directions equal to the amount of Contaminated Blood Camila had finished that post with. Those that remain within the contaminated areas scattered about by Camila will gain one Contaminated Blood; this includes Camila herself.

While Camila is immune to the effects of Contaminated Blood and her contaminated ground, those around her are not. Existing within the Contaminated ground will cause someone to lose a percentage of their Maximum Reiatsu pool equivalent to their Contaminated Blood total. This stolen reiatsu is stored within the environment itself, stored in order to spread the contaminated ground. Every 100 points of reiatsu stolen will expand all existing patches of contaminated ground by one foot in all directions. Should an individual reach 0 reiatsu, they’ll succumb to the toxin currently within their system.

{流血波 - Ryūketsu Nami (Bloodied Wave)}

Technique Name: Ryūketsu Nami (Bloodied Wave)

Technique Cost: 1 Contaminated Blood.

Description: Swinging her Zanpakutō in an arc, Camila is capable of releasing a wave of blood in front of her to strike through her foes, or spread contamination. By spending the appropriate cost, Camila fires out a wave of toxic, ichorous blood at 800 speed in a straight line, utilizing her Reiatsu Strength for damage. The wave is as wide as she swings her sword, and travels until it collides with something; be it a person, the environment, et cetera. If a person is struck, that person will be infected with one Contaminated Blood. If an environment is struck, that environment will become contaminated, creating a patch of contaminated land a number of feet in radius equivalent to Camila’s current Contaminated Blood.

Drawbacks: This technique serves as little more than a “poke” tool, and is effectively a basic attack of sorts. Any swings wider than 180 degrees instead cost 3 Contaminated Blood.

{Samuzora Kishi Overall Ability}

Reforged from the remains of Kōsei Kādo, Samuzora Kishi exists as a Zanpakutō to fulfill a similar goal to Makkana Itan. Instead of focusing on the ground beneath Camila’s feet, however, much as its name suggests, Samuzora Kishi focuses toward control over the air above the girl. Similar to the former, Samuzora Kishi also aims to desecrate that which Soul Society stands for, leaving a rather noteworthy path of destruction in its wake. While released, Camila's reiatsu is sensed purely as that of a Hollow.

Through Samuzora Kishi, Camila is to keep track of another resource; that of Defiled Starlight. Similarly to Makkana Itan, Defiled Starlight is gained once per post, when Camila lands strikes with Samuzora Kishi against her opponents, and when she takes hits. Defiled Starlight is used to fuel Samuzora Kishi’s release abilities, as one can expect. Though, there are a few additional effects attached to the resource as well.

Much like Makkana Itan, releasing Samuzora Kishi similarly causes Camila’s inner world to bleed out around her, and in a similar way; one foot per Defiled Starlight she's collected since releasing will be coated in the same thick fog that exists within her inner world. This defiled area will follow the girl, but will also be left behind as she moves, covering quite a bit of area as she moves around. Samuzora Kishi will only coat the air; the ground around her will remain unaffected with just Samuzora Kishi active. Every post will cause every defiled area to expand a number of feet in all directions equal to the amount of Defiled Starlight Camila finished that post with. Those that remain within these defiled areas will gain one Defiled Starlight; this includes Camila. Despite being a fog, these defiled zones do not hinder the ability of others to see through it. This defiling effect can be suppressed as Camila sees fit, preventing her from spreading more fog as she moves about, but will not reverse what has already been defiled.

Defiled Starlight aims to corrupt and thicken the air across the battlefield. While within these defiled areas, those that possess any amount of Defiled Starlight (including Camila’s allies, excluding Camila) will have their Speed dropped by 3%, stacking up to 75%. This extends to any technique, manifestation, or creation that happens to be within this area; summons and summon-adjacent entities track Defiled Starlight separately from their creator, but created weapons, effects from techniques, and other inanimate creations utilize their creator’s amount of Defiled Starlight. Summons and inanimate creations can have their speed reduced down to as low as 50 instead. Even after leaving a defiled zone, this speed reduction still persists for techniques, but for sentient summons and individuals this speed reduction will immediately be restored.
