Fractured Type

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Type: Fractured

Description: These beings have such immense spiritual energy that their body can’t contain it all. It is because of this outside of release a piece of their soul is separate from their body. They are known for being paranoid and protective around their fragmented soul. Not only because of their releases depend on them but because they are literally a piece of them. These people are generally lone wolves, preferring the company of their fragmented soul. It is because of this that they don’t get along with others or just avoid people in general. They are more attuned to themselves because of this. This companion has a personality all of its own and this can cause cooperation to become far more tedious than being a single person, having their own dreams and desires etc. They also have a taste of freedom and tend to be aware of the users emotions at all times and thus can easily get under their skin if they wanted.

For Shinigami this split soul manifests in the form of the users Zanpakuto spirit (Note the inner world of the Zanpakuto spirit still exists it is merely just a piece of them) . Arrancar it is a separate form usually in the form of a child. Fullbringers split soul becomes an animal of some kind. The same rule applies to Vizards as with Shinigami. Though Vizards inner hollow don’t manifest until devouring the Zanpakuto spirit. When released the separate soul will return to the user helping form said release.

Advantage:

The first advantage is the fact that the user has a companion to fight alongside them. Yet also making them easier to interact with. Regardless of race the fraction of the user is capable of combat. The durability and offensive strength of these companions are based off the beings Spiritual Pressure, working similar to a Zanpakuto or Fullbring in release. Possessing half of the users total SP (SpPr is exluded being half of users after type and does not impact total SP though reaitsu used by companion is deducted from user in release ) Boosts by type are still in effect, cuts from type are void though. The Location of these current stats can be added up and relocated where the user finds them most appropriate, though the companion can only have a total of 300 in a stat and nerfed stats can't exceed 200. (Must be updated the same as the character and can only be changed through a CIU: Change It Up) Additionally techniques that the user knows can be used by their companion.

Level 1: 50% Increase to Spiritual Pressure.(100 to 150); 35% increase to either a physical or sensory stat.(100 to 135)

Level 2: 75% increase to Spiritual Pressure.(100 to 175); 50% increase to either a physical or sensory stat.(100 to 150)

Level 3: Double Spiritual Pressure. (100 to 200); 75% increase to either a physical or sensory stat.(100 to 175)

Level 4: Double Spiritual Pressure. (100 to 200); Double either a physical or sensory stat.(100 to 200)

Disadvantage:

Level 1: 30% decrease to Reiatsu Strength, 25% reduction to one Sensory or Physical stat that did not receive the boost by type. Pre release, they have half their Reiatsu available for use.

Level 2: 40% decrease to Reiatsu Strength, 30% reduction to one Sensory or Physical stat that did not receive the boost by type. Pre release, they have half their Reiatsu available for use.

Level 3: 50% decrease to Reiatsu Strength, 40% reduction to one Sensory or Physical that did not receive the boost by type. Pre release, they have half their Reiatsu available for use.

Level 4: 50% decrease to Reiatsu Strength, 50% reduction to one Sensory or Physical stat that did not receive the boost by type. Pre release, they have half their Reiatsu available for use.

1 tech slot must be taken to make up for the companion. Additionally release can be thwarted if the companion is killed. Meaning if in a thread the companion is killed, they lose out on release during that entire thread unless there is a resting period during said thread. Binding of the companion will also prevent release until the said binding is removed. Shinigami, Arrancars and Fullbringers companion can be injured by both physical and spiritual means and can be killed in DE, granting the possibility of loosing release for a period of time before it manifests again (2 threads without release) Any wounds inflicted on the split soul before release are carried over to the user upon release. Another weakness is the users projection has a sense of freedom and may be unwilling to aid in release.

Special Requirements: Only those with release can switch to and start as this type (TT can’t start off as this type). (Shikai/Bankai for Shinigami. Primera Etapa/Segunda Etapa for Arrancar. Main Fullbring/Secondary Fullbring For Fullbringers.)

Race Restrictions: Available to only Shinigami, Arrancar, fullbringers and Vizards.

Initial Money: 1000 Ryo

Initial Weapons: One Start Weapon (i.e. one Zanpakuto)

All I'm seeing is what this type does. While many of the existing types have been simple in personality, such as non-typed and runner, new Types are required to be much more in depth. Zou has stated that every new type that is passed makes the future ones harder to pass, because he doesn't want a million types. The last Type to pass, if I remember correctly, was Empath Type. Empath has a great wealth of Personality involved in it. It really is a Personality Type instead of a Character Type. This type more fits the category of "what benefits can I get" instead of "how do my talents and personality features effect me as a growing person?"

"These beings have such immense spiritual energy that their body can’t contain it all." Is the only part of this Type that refers to anything about the Character rather than the benefits that it provides. In addition, the Advantages and Disadvantages are focused on the companion and stat changes, with nothing at all involving the fact that your Soul is literally in pieces, with a big piece of it being outside of your body. This Type has a lot of potential, I really think it does, but it falls short. Go into additional detail of what Kind of Person is Fractured, and what that Fracturing does to a person's personality, then we can reconsider.

Though, right off the bat, I'm going to say that your boosts are WAY too generous. Not only do you get a Release Companion, which is something that only Bount really get, you also get stat boosts that at Rank 4 are nearly equivalent to Leader Type which does nothing but Boosts. As a last note, you really should put "Double another stat (100 becomes 200)" for clarification as we've attempted to do consistently to the rest of the Types.

[Amagai Kuchiki]

Last type to pass was Struggler. Or Kenpachi, depending on how you look at it, just as an aside.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Sorry. Even still, Struggler has a large Personality component to the technique, as it is currently the site's "Hard Mode" to character progression.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Updated, added a para about Fractured in the beginning and the clarifications of boosts.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

The boosts are still too strong. Tone down the Level 4 boosts.

[☾ Aevus | Umbra ☽]

Updated, changed both to only doubling at level 4.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

1/3 approved then. (Types approval need more than just 2 Mods, especially when one of them is just a MAM)

[Amagai Kuchiki]

I'm alright with this type, it has my 2/3

[Katekarin Mekatoku]

Having the process go down three mods, everything that would have been covered has been covered. And I have stated that I enjoyed reading about this type and look forward to seeing it use. So it would be my honor to 3/3 this type.

Alright, after talking with Bo and cleaning up the write-up for the Type, there have a been a few small changes, so it's being posted here for re-review both by the creator and another moderator. The slightly altered Fractured Type:

Type: Fractured

Description:
Those who are defined as Fractured are individuals who possess an unusually strong spirit, strong enough that it cannot be easily contained in a single body. As a result, the user's soul is split into two portions, one that exists within the body, and one that forms a separate, spiritual body outside of the original. The original tends to be protective of their split self for multiple reasons; the companion holds the power of the owner's Release, as well as a large portion of the original's soul and spiritual energy. However, this separation also causes the split to, over time, develop a personality and emotional pattern all of their own. This gives many the impression of two separate, yet inseparable, beings that work together in a strange symbiosis. This is especially apparent during Release, when the two portions of the soul become one once more, forming a single being until the effects end.

For Shinigami, this split often manifests in the form of their Zanpaktou spirit's true form, while in Arrancar it tends to take on a humanoid form, often similar to a child in appearance. Fullbringers find their souls developing into an animal form that represents their spirit, such as a bird for those who are more free-spirited. Even Vizards can manifest their Zanpaktou, though the one behind it is often their Inner Hollow, frequently giving them more of a monstrous counterpart than that of a normal Shinigami's.

Advantage:
All Levels: Upon assuming this Type, the user can choose the form that their split soul's appearance takes on, based on the criteria above. This spirit is able to fight alongside the user, possessing its own SP pool equal to half of the user's total SP before Type. This SP is assigned to any stats besides Spiritual Pressure, but all stats are limited to a cap of 300 SP before type. Type bonuses and penalties apply to the spirit just as they do to the user. Spiritual Pressure is determined by taking half of the user's Spiritual Pressure after Type, locking the spirit's Spiritual Pressure at this value (i.e. if the user has 600 Spiritual Pressure after Type, then the spirit will possess 300 Spiritual Pressure). This value can only be changed as a result of CiUs to shuffle stats, or via techniques that project one's spirit into a manifested form. The latter will alter a spirit's stats according to the technique (Spiritual Projection, for example, states that the spirit has the same stats as the user), but projection techniques used by the Fractured Type can only last a maximum of five posts before needing to be refreshed, regardless of greater maximum duration normally. This is due to the natural instability of a separated soul. This spirit also possesses its own Reiatsu pool based on its Spiritual Pressure, and can use any techniques that the user possesses as long as it meets the requirements.

Level 1: 50% increase to Spiritual Pressure (i.e. 100 becomes 150). 35% increase to either one Physical stat or one Sensory stat. (i.e. 100 becomes 135).

Level 2: 75% increase to Spiritual Pressure (i.e. 100 becomes 175). 50% increase to either one Physical stat or one Sensory stat. (i.e. 100 becomes 150).

Level 3: Double Spiritual Pressure (i.e. 100 becomes 200). 75% increase to either one Physical stat or one Sensory stat. (i.e. 100 becomes 175).

Level 4: Double Spiritual Pressure (i.e. 100 becomes 200). Double either one Physical stat or one Sensory stat. (i.e. 100 becomes 200).

Disadvantage:

All Levels: For a split to even occur in the first place, the user must have a very strong IC history or a series of IC threads that build up to the point of the split. Upon the split, one non-Release technique slot is immediately taken up by the companion. Additionally, the user has their maximum Reiatsu halved as long as they are separate from their other half. During Release, maximum Reiatsu is restored, and any Reiatsu that the companion had upon activation is added to the user's current amount. Upon separation due to Release's end, Reiatsu is split evenly between the two. If the companion is incapacitated to the point of being unable to participate in battle, Release cannot be used. If the companion is injured at the point of Release, then injuries are carried over to the user, and remain there even at the termination of Release. Finally, if the companion is killed, then the user is unable to use their Release without a significant rest period (NDE) or two completed threads aside from the one in which the companion was killed (DE).

Additionally, the two individuals must possess distinct and individual personalities, as they often develop their own nature as time develops. The companion is often very aware of their status as a portion of something bigger, rather than a whole, and this tends to affect their personality. As the companion has their own personality and their own ideals, which may contrast with the user's own, they may refuse to aid their other half in certain situations. Finally, there is a maximum of five characters with this Type at a time.

Level 1: 30% decrease to Reiatsu Strength (i.e. 100 becomes 70). 25% decrease either one Physical or one Sensory stat that was not increased of the same type as the one that was increased. (i.e. 100 becomes 75)

Level 2: 40% decrease to Reiatsu Strength (i.e. 100 becomes 70). 30% decrease either one Physical or one Sensory stat that was not increased of the same type as the one that was increased. (i.e. 100 becomes 70)

Level 3: 50% decrease to Reiatsu Strength (i.e. 100 becomes 70). 40% decrease either one Physical or one Sensory stat that was not increased of the same type as the one that was increased. (i.e. 100 becomes 60)

Level 4: 50% decrease to Reiatsu Strength (i.e. 100 becomes 70). 50% decrease either one Physical or one Sensory stat that was not increased of the same type as the one that was increased. (i.e. 100 becomes 50)
