[Nola Vilde]

Technique Name:Advanced Air Platform

Class: 8-6

Technique Type : General Technique

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Any

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects : This technique is based on the ability of various races to create reishi platforms in midair. This Technique is so simple and uncomplicated that even the most simple of brutes and lunatics can perform this ability flawlessly. However as time goes on, this technique however has a very deep history as to how it came to be so widespread, and also a much more progressive means of it's use.

Class 8: The Most simple and fundamental technique. This is simply the formation of platforms under the feet to form an artificial plane off of which to maneuver. This technique uses so little energy that it has almost no cost (25 reiatsu allows 3 steps at learned, 5 steps at profficient, and 7 steps on Mastery at this class). The user can only create horizontal steps exactly the side of the foot, and at this class can only do this thrice per post, either to run along this newmade surface, or to increase or decrease altitude.

Class 7: Advancement. Still ridiculously simple, this level of the technique does take some reiatsu. At 25 Reiatsu cost, the user can create a pair of constantly generating platforms under their feet which lasts the entire post, however at this class the techique is still limited to at least a general downward direction and cannot rise to an angle more than 65 Degrees upward from a flat surface.
This changes at class 6, at which point pannels can be created even at a 90 degree angle. Additionally, the panels can be created at any point in the body allowing one to push off with any limb and even slide along one's back, allowing a powerful boost in mobility. Cost increases to 50 per post.


How to use technique: The user focuses their spirit energy, creating platforms and surfaces.

Technique Drawbacks Reiatsu Cost.

Technique Name:Advanced Air Arsenal

Class: 5-1

Technique Type : General Technique

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Any

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects : An advancement on Advanced Air Platform, this technique is derived from the ability to make platforms as a simple means of locomotion and advanced movement and applied the same concept to create panels of a more....insidious nature. Advancing from the earlier technique, this technique revolves around the use of these panels beyond simple maneuvers as a means of weapons and armor.


Class 5: At this level These platforms can surpass beyond the level of simple movement techniques. At this level, the user can create spiritual panels at any point of their body so long as it stays in contact with their body. These panels have a durability of 200 when it comes to resisting breaking, this increases by 175 per class as one learns higher levels of this technique, up to 900 at class 1. These panels last up to ten seconds, the maximum size of a panel is 3 square feet, making it good for blocking narrow or small-scale projectiles. The reiatsu cost at this level is 75 reiatsu, and increases by 100% per class, up to 375 reiatsu at class 1.
The number of panels per post that can be generated is reduced to 1 per post, increasing by one for each class, up to 5 at class 1.

Panel Durability: 200
Panel Generation Cost: 75 Reiatsu
Max Panels: 1

Class 4: This level even more utility. The user can create panels that are 6 square feet in size. However something else is attainable at this level. In addition to being used defensively, these panels however can be grabbed and wielded like any other weapon, requiring that the user be proficient enough to use these blades, and also severely limiting the number of these panels that can be generated in comparison to the defensive panels as offensive panels count as 2.


Panel Durability: 375
Defensive Panel Generation Cost: 150 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Generation Cost: 200 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Duration: 2
Max Panels: 2

At Class 3 the user has a bit more control over the shape of these edged panels, allowing them to be shaped into simple weapons as they are generated. Naturally these panels cannot be very ornate or complicated, but can be slightly altered to allow slightly easier handling and the characteristics of the panels are as such:

Panel Durability: 550
Defensive Panel Generation Cost: 225 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Generation Cost: 300 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Duration: 4
Max Panels: 3

At Class 3 one is capable of generating finer shapes and sizes of weapon, allowing the user to generate not only simple panels, but exotic weapons as well, the size of these weapons is restricted to being 3 meters in length and the Characteristics of the panels/weapons are as follows:


Panel Durability: 725
Defensive Panel Generation Cost: 300 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Generation Cost: 400 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Duration: 6
Max Panels: 4

Class 1: At this level, the user can not only generate and wield these panels and compress them into sharpened weapons, but can also throw them without the panels losing their integrity. These can be fired and retain their structural integrity for 2 posts (including the post they were thrown) before they lose structural integrity and fade away. A panel that is thrown with 2 posts of duration remaining will dissolve after reaching it's target, and a panel with 1 post remaining will dissolve before it reaches the intended target, regardless of distance traveled.


Panel Durability: 900
Defensive Panel Generation Cost: 475 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Generation Cost: 500 Reiatsu
Offensive Panel Duration: 8 (Becomes 2 once the panel is thrown)
Max Panels: 5


How to use technique: The user focuses their spirit energy, creating platforms and surfaces.

Technique Drawbacks Reiatsu Cost. Cannot be learned by Fighter types. Requires that the user have mastered Advanced Air Platforms, Class 6. Using Panels offensively counts as creating 2 defensive panels. Offensive panel handling scales off the user's Skill with the weapon created. Basic panels follow the Weapon Skill of any bladed single-handed weapon that the user already has, with the exception of those associated with Racially generated weapons (Zanpaku'to, Dolls, ect.) Non-basic Panels follow the Skill profficiency of whatever weapon type is created. Defensive panels can be maintained through simple concentration up to 8 posts, however Offensive panels cannot be maintained for as long (until class 1).

Sorry to take so long to reply to this.

That being said, this is very similar to the Shinigami technique, Artificial Air Ground. I know you are trying to create a universal ability for it, so I'm letting it slide somewhat as opposed to a carbon copy being locked to another race, but keep this in mind.

Class 8 needs a cost, 25 Reiatsu per three steps, but I will allow a total of six steps per post as an increased limit.

Class 7 is fine.

Class 6 is a direct copy of AAG practically, including the adherence effects even for short duration, so I'm gonna have to deny it. You're going to need to retool this.

Classes 5 and up I'm iffy on. This is a movement technique, yet suddenly it's used for both offense and defense. So I'm going to say that I don't like that it's expanding outwards from movement as it is, but I'll still grade each individual part for now.

Class 5 - I also don't like that the numbers are scaling, as a Class 5 technique with up to 900 offensive stat is a no-fly.

Class 4 - Again, the problem is that I don't like the scaling. Static at a certain Class is allowable, but I don't like the scaling as it is. I'd much rather you expand each Class, saying something like: "At Class 5, this costs X amount and has Y offensive power." "At Class 4, the panels increase to X amount of cost and have Y offensive power. In addition, it can now form blades that have X cost and Y power" etc etc. I know that it's roughly the same thing but I'd rather have a direct Class/power correlation. In the end this serves as a buff anyway, as a Class 5 with 900 offensive is still shattered by a Class 3+ automatically.

Class 3 we're getting into mental manipulation of blades which does not adhere to the initial technique at all, so I'm not going to pass it. Swinging sharpened platforms around that are connected to your body is one thing. Mentally guiding and controlling what are now pretty much blades is too far. Class 2 and Class 1 do not pass for the same reason.

[Nola Vilde]

Class 8 cost updated, additionally have made the base remain 3, but increase based on mastery.

Class 6 gains freedom of the panel location generation as opposed to adherance.

Classes 5-1 have been turned into a secondary technique called Advanced Air Arsenal. Mental manipulation has been removed and instead has been shaped into more direct expansions of the technique as a simple means of generating objects by shaping reiatsu.

[Kento Waffles]

Huh. This is a cool take on it, actually.

Has my 1/2.

[Zeich Yajuu]

I'm gonna decline AAP at Class 7, simply because it's already far more potent than AAG despite being a very generalized technique. 10 Reiatsu for a constant air movement in non-human worlds, as opposed to 25 Reiatsu for a platform that, despite lasting for a post, is stationary. Cost will have to be at least 25 Reiatsu for Class 7, and 50 for Class 6. Shinigami are the master of this technique, after all, and as you stated, this is a technique so basic even the dumbest of brutes can learn it, so it should cost a bit more.

The panels are contradicting. Class 4 says it uses RS as durability, then it says it has a set durability below that. Need to clarify that. Class 4 also needs to specify what kind of proficiency is needed to use them, unless you expect people to take on the skill "Weapon: Panel."

You also say that the offensive panels are limited and can't be used as often as the defensive panels, but I see nothing that states that. All I see is that there's a maximum of two panels, and that there's a... duration on offensive ones? Care to explain that?

Class 7 and 6 AAP have had their costs increased to 50 and 100 reiatsu respectively.
Class 4 mention of RS is an artifact of the first draft of the technique and has been removed.

Proficiency regarding wielding panels has been specified, including basic and non-basic panels.

Limitations on the number of Offensive panels used and the duration vs defensive panels has been laid out. Specifically that Offensive panels count as 2 panels when it comes to the maximum number of panels created, and that Offensive panels last a lower number of posts as opposed to Defensive panels (8 posts at all levels) until Class 1.

25 and 50 is not 50 and 100. Don't nerf yourself too much!

Aside from that, appreciate the clarifications and updates, but since it's been so long, I'm only going to give it a fresh 1/2, pending a second review.

[Nola Vilde]

Ah, I misunderstood, I thought your incredulity extended beyond just the thoughts, my overboost for the costs was a sort of 'will this suffice?' kinda thing.

25 and 50 it is

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Sorry for missing this! 2/2 approved.
