{Faceclaim: Valkyr}

Away, and unburdened by the Quincy nature that she was born with, Elke has fallen into her own right as accepting her other half. With the recent events that had occurred, what served as her Humanity was stripped away, and allowed the other to assume control. Those that she preyed on before, a former Quincy and a Fullbringer, life force taken from their dying bodies infused with her own to make up a part of her new persona. At least that is what she believes in. It isn't that what transpired as parts of her past now etched itself in her other half self, allowing it to grow on its own to fulfill what was taken. Thanks to that, and with a little help of Shizuka and Abaddon, Elke's new figure has taken shape in what her physical characteristics are now.

Obviously not much has changed in terms of her feminine wiles since she still stands at a height of 5'6", and with a bust of "C." Wait, a "C" now? Well, she did grow in some places prior to her single night of change. But hey, when being forcibly separated from her weaker half, some of those flaws went flying out the door too. However, it can be explained too if looking at the perspective of her Osen. That curse now taking full effect, blending itself with her person, Elke's skin quality livened up a bit, or rather darkened by making her skin greyish in tone. The changes that are there draw immediate attention to her hair that drapes down to her lower back. What once was just a single shade of black on the outside with a coating of bright magenta on the inside, the two colors remain though now blended with the black taking the majority of hair. The magenta take up strands of hair that bleed into the violet before being profoundly noticeable again, then back to violet from the roots on the scalp down to the tips of her straight hair.

Eyes is the second characteristic that the change is easily noticed seeing that the amber shades have now converted to a deep azure blue. Irises that are so colored in that they can be easily mistaken as soft hues from beneath her twisted color scheme of hair. But what stands out the most is the black filling that consumes the rest of her eyes that only makes the azure color stand out more. Still though, she does have those pouty cheeks and brazen brows of hers. So that is good to see that some parts did not change. Also, some of those changes are still present from her Osen, plus Demon nature, black residue markings are seen dripping down from her tear ducts that join to create a single line down her cheeks. The only other thing about her head are her horns that extend out 2 inches from her scalp. These horns are the same as from before, though more noticeable. One horn coming out of her forehead with two more out of the sides that curve to the front. An additional two that protrude from the sides beside the second pair, curving this time towards the back with a small cone shaped bone horn from out of the center. Lastly, one more horn sticking out from the back of her scalp.

{Horns}

A lot of her body remains nearly the same with some slight differences to her physique. Her body is a bit more toned now than before considering that her spirit was now strengthened when separated from her Quincy half. Lots of her frailty was banished from her body, leaving behind the refinement of a spiritual body. No longer needing to be afraid of sickness, the consequences to a regular age growth, all of Elke's nourishment and energy are redirected to that where they are needed to be. To put it more specifically, or simply, she is more fit than she ever was before being a Nakkabaki. A tighter waist, but slightly plumpy hips. Defined slender arms and legs, with a bit of developed thighs and tush. Not really specializing in pure power, but there are other ways that the Akki makes up for it. This speaks well with how her level in confidence has grown with the recent change to the point of being daring now.

However, due to her transition to becoming an Akki, Elke had to go through some development. While a lot of her body is toned, the Akki nature of her being is heavily influenced to the point that it is the reasoning behind such a body. Her arms and legs, along with a extra appendage are what anyone can see coming out of this figure. Starting off with her arms, the complexion of her body turns completely dark from the shoulders down to the fingers. Obsidian like skin that is fragmented by the thick veins that glow softly, both seemingly to be part of the skin itself while still marking the flow of Hellish reiatsu that flows through. Much like from her original Nakkabaki release, much of that emphasizes here in her fully fledged Akki body. This black fragmented pattern, with red lines separating the pieces, reaches down to her hands. Forearms a bit more defined here the further that they go into the hands, now being that of talons.

Furry, lining down to her knuckles, Elke's hands have been malformed resembling fleshy, bone like hands. This transformation was made so her palms were easily capable of adapting to a rocky, unbalanced environment. Being able to stretch themselves wider, the muscles in her palms can easily rearrange themselves much like that of a Bear, or other ground mammals. They don't have special sensory abilities or anything like that. Nope, these new palms are meant to make sure that Elke's grip is far superior than that of a Humans, even going down to her fingers being completely solidified into nails. Each claw having its own set of joints within the knuckles here make her grip the same as a Humans, but at the same time allowing them to adjust according to her own will. Plus, they give her a killer grip as well.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Arm and Leg Reference}

The secondary inhuman parts are that of her legs. Like what occurred with her arms, her legs are no different. Completely taking over from the hip joint, the obsidian color is blended into from her usual skin tone. Much of the muscle form is identical to that of a Human girl's with the difference residing where the knee is at. Here the knee cap is actually made up into two parts. This division was made primarily due to how Elke's legs are meant to work, blending in both animal and Human together. Her knee caps are divided to allow her legs to be able to prounce around like any four legged animal, and without losing the function to walk upright like a Human. More or less this was meant to support her newly developed Digitigrade legs, meaning that Elke can walk or run on her toes than that of her soles.

When looking at her feet, the soles up to her heels have been changed. To make them spring like, Elke's toes have been replaced with the same bone nail material that make up her fingers now. These talons merging with the fleshy feet are simply made up of more muscle than bones. This doesn't meant that there are no bones in her feet since there are, but simply stating that there is more muscle than bone present making up this new structure. All in all the new composition making up the Akki's legs make for a more firm base. Due to this new formation, even her feet can potentially pick up various items considering that they are more muscle now. But furthermore, they assist in making Elke's body more springy than what it use to be.

And of course, there is the most noticeable change when it comes to her body as they whip around like its no ones business. Twin tails that have sprouted out from the girl's tail bone, and yes they are attached and not some cosplay gimmick. Slender in shape, wiggling out and about freely and unrestrained, these two tails frolic about easily expressing what Elke does not want to share. Similar in shade as her skin, the red vein like surface also is seen here as it is with her arms and legs. These are very much displayed on the surface until they reach the tip, which they are like a big splat on the surface of the tips where the flames of reiatsu come out of. Yes yes, her two tails are 3 feet in length and the flames are not harmful at all as they serve as an added means of expressing what the Akki harbors in her gut. These flames express the violet shine of the Akki's reiatsu, and are purely for show.

This new level of confidence is reflected very much in her style of clothing now. Seeing how well Shizuka handles herself, Elke only wondered why wouldn't she do the same herself. Before, Elke was pretty reserved in terms of clothing as she wanted to hide much of her Sinner nature. Ashamed of her horns, and off setting complexion, she didn't want to catch the eye of the people. Well screw all of that now. That sense of inferiority is long gone here. She didn't honestly know why she wanted to hide what she was considering that of what her Mom told her was right. Too much time spending on how the Vandenreich would look at her as, now that she was thinking about it further she made herself to be an idiot. Now she doesn't. Now why not flaunt it a bit.

Starting off with a corset top shirt. A blend of a tube top style with it gives her new top piece a strapless shirt that she could just zip up from the front side. They arc a bit down her breasts to provide some skin show, and the top surface of her bosom. A tight fit and comfy too, the corset sticks well to her body so she doesn't have to worry about it slipping off or anything like that. This piece of her wardrobe is a white color with a glossy, leathery shine to it too that does make the eyes bounce from points A to B, and down to C which will be her exposed belly and belly button. Over that is a sleek black leather jacket with a grey hoodie attachment that she keeps unzipped at the front. Decorated with metal rimmed bullet holes along the surface of the cupped collar, the girl now accessorizes what she can.

This too means that she does wear something on her left wrist; metal and rubber bracelets. A trio of black rubber bracelets that have gone on first to keep the metal ones she puts on neck from clamping her skin. Small and thin, the rubber bands don't really have much of a design as they are simply meant to keep the metal variety from pinching her at times with their small openings. On top of those are solid aluminum bands with steel cones decorating the surface of them. This trend is with both pairs of bracelets that she wears on top of the rubbers.

No way that Elke is going with something baggy here. Nope, considering that she wants to show off em curves. And how she does it is with grey slim fitted denim pants. Stretchy, comfortable, and ride up all the right places, Elke can't say no to some good material that makes her feel right at home. Plus, the quality is good and won't rip as easily either, so that is another good time about them. Of course, these pants are not good with the pyramid spiked punk belt that she slaps on around her waistline. Both stylish, and shiny, Elke likes to put herself out there now than being reserved like she was before, even going as far as decorating her belt area with ornamental chains that are usually worn on Faux leather belts. A good additional if she does say so.

And to top it all off are the pair of Damned Black Buckled Gothic Boots. Just as the name entails, they are sleek and black. High heeled and extra sturdy at the same location, with a total of six buckled belts that go over the heel and up the shin. Almost resembling that of thigh highs, the buckles make the Sinner feel more at home, and extra secured so that when she is kicking they won't come flying off. That would be a hassle to find and put back on. And lastly, her Hollow hole will now be appearing over the place of her heart.

[Elke Sia]

-Personality-

SPOILER: Click to show

{Dislikes}

1. Crowds

Too much noise and too many eyes to watch her. They particularly make her nervous beyond reason. Too many eyes wandering about in fear that they bare witness to what she is. Not to really who she is, but only judging based on what they see. Too many eyes that would judge her, and cast her as an outcast. In that case, a fear turned to hostility. She wouldn't want that. Any of that to happen to her.


2. Ordered Around

Having been living a life of solitude and loneliness, there is much freedom in what can be done in that sort of environment. No rules, responsibilities to one, Elke is free to do what she wants without ever being told "No." So, why have that all change with someone giving instructions as to what she should do. Besides that, it would be more than likely the person she takes orders from would be the same as everyone else around her. Frightened, abusive, or manipulative.


3. Screaming

She could hear them in her dreams. Whenever she closes her eyes. A place that is filled with pain and agony. Sometimes she can hear a baby crying. A baby wanting to be held by it's mother, but to find no warmth. The baby screams louder, and louder, and louder. Each time the tune reached a higher pitch, it would seem to just echo relentlessly. Elke wanted the screaming to stop. The Sinner didn't want to see that place filled with screams and pain.


4. Vandenriech

She hates them, down to her core. Despite being what she is now, the crap that they put her through, even going as far as using her for some unknown reasons, Elke had to suffer from their previous actions. All of this done to her for some shit that she didn't ask for to begin with. Now that she isn't bound to them by power, now she can do what she really wants, and hurt them as much as she possibly wants. If they wanted their toy monster back, then they will get her.


5. Lack of Sugar

No sugar is a fate worse than Hell. It keeps her peppy, and happy. Plus, well not really a plus since it is already known, but no sugar makes Elke very irritable. Sugar is part of her overall diet. That and junk food. Now now, junk food can be nutritious too since, like pizza when done right, carries lots of veggies and other substances. Lots of fat, and useless carbs and sugars, lots of it is processed to help comprise her spiritual body. So, a lack of sugar tends to make the Sinner very unpleasant.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Likes}

1. SUGAR! Yum

From Pumpkin Pies to Rolled Sweet Tarts, there can never be enough sugar in her system. The sheer bliss that rush that flows through the body is absolute Heaven. Whether it be depression or a sweet tooth, Elke always lifts her spirits to the great beyond with the help of a Pound Cake or any particular flavorful pastry. Often times the Sinner would raid cake shops to just have her fill whenever the ruse becomes too much. And since she is a spirit, no one can really see or stop her from doing so. All the more reason she tends to hold herself up in locations near candy, or overall sweet shops. Hell, she is the reason that several shops around Karakura have gone bankrupt.



2. Colors

There are just so many of them. Dark and light, dull and bright. There are just so many different colors with each of their own uniqueness to them. But, when looking at them altogether they look all the more exquisite. Alone they each have their own moods and possible stories. When pieced together, their contrast may either fight against the other, or just blend like an never ending flowing river. When ever it was dull or dark for Elke, there were always an array of bright colors that helped to lift her spirits up again. More than that, the world itself has all sorts of colors that need to be discovered. And each one of them having their own story to tell. A story that paints the world either a tragic love story, or a determined spirit willing to progress no matter what. Regardless, the Sinner finds it all beautiful.



3. Tv Shows

The laughs, the cries, and the utter horrors that make her skin crawl altogether. Bringing imagination to you from all corners of the globe. That is what tv at least does for Elke. Not really able to buy one, or room with someone with one, the Sinner often goes to the stores to watch what is on. Some times the boring documentaries, the heart pounding action movies, the mysterious wonders of Sci-fi, or the heart twisting romance genre, there is always something that catches the young girl's eyes. And even if she was stuck in Karakura, it does help to show that there is more out there than is around her.



4. Adventures

Traveling is pretty much Elke does on a daily basis. Can't stay in one place for too long or people start talking. Haunted this or haunted that, people will be talking about seeing a spirit linger in a certain place. That draws too much attention that she doesn't want. All the reason to bounce from place to place. Plus, it's fun too to see new people and new places. New sights, new places, new aromas, and possibly new great tasting treats. Now now she can be seriously lazy too. So that is why every time she goes around the town she gotta make it fun, and consider what she hasn't seen yet.



5. Freedom

Truly the best "like" that she does favor most. Nothing to bare her path, or to really say what to do. Elke makes all the decisions in her life, and likes it to be that way. Before it all she was afraid. Hated. And alone. What was suppose to be a family was instead just out of duty. A duty in which was seen as a burden than anything else. Once she was released from it all, the world was hers for the taking. What she did and decided to do was all up to her. She didn't have to answer to anyone but herself. Does she regret leaving behind the life she once knew? Not really. But now what she wants to do, another sense of freedom is ridding the world of the Vandenreich, of the Quincies that linger under the ranks of a false God.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Flaws}


1. Emotional Outbursts

This really does involve a lot with her past now. Largely connected with the damn curse of having to be part of the Vandenreich, Elke has little to no self control on expressing what she is feeling. The girl really isn't all that adapt to being tamed. Often bubbly on what she does, being distracted or made distant can cause some of those more explosive thoughts to come out of hiding. When doing so, the changes are dynamic. So, despite knowing that she does need to reel herself back a bit, that idea is easily tossed out the window to better relieve herself of the issue. Bad for the body, but good for the mind.



2. Aggressive

Once again comes down right to it; Elke is very aggressive. Maybe overly passionate would be the better way in phrasing it, but nah. Be it violence, or lovey-dovey, whatever she wants she aims to take it. This again revolves around her inability to discipline herself. Because come on, let's face it, when no one is around for a majority of one's life, they tend not to care. The only way to survive is simply just doing the do really.



3. Paranoid

Being alone nearly all her life does play with her mind. When living in the dumps and wandering around she can't help but feel a bit paranoid when around other people or situations. Always gotta think and care for only herself ya know. Back when living with her mother there were always people that wanted to hurt her. Lying and scheming for ways to go about it, Elke had no other choice but to keep on her guard. Even when there were no bodies around, she could always feel the intent within her own surroundings. Didn't take long for them to come true when some of those dangerous people came around the corners. When everyone is out to get you, it becomes rather difficult to really let go of that mindset. It is a mindset that is good to have when going to bring a war to an Empire. Or just slaughter their people one by one as slow as possible.



4. Distrusting

Because of her paranoia Elke finds it to hard to trust another being. Always keeping herself at a distance, it is better to have some breathing room to better see when those people are preparing to hurt her. Words can be sweet, but poisonous too. Actions speak louder in her book, but that take some time as well. Can't get too coozy around people. Even so called friends can turn against you at a moment's notice. There are no such things as friends, family, or comrades. There is only her, herself, and me that can be trusted. This still continues onward, making it very strenous to really trust and form friendships.



5. Foul Mouthed

No rules means no barriers. Hell, she isn't afraid to speak out if needed to. Even if not needed she still does what she wants to do. Especially when angry too lol.


6. Split Persona

This may be a little wonky, but Elke does suffer from some degree of identity crisis. This does begin when she killed a female Quincy, believing her to be part of the Vandenreich Empire. A mistake that she grieved over, only wanting to take it back. With that wish she devoured her flesh as she died, wanting to take a piece of the girl inside of herself, hoping that she may live on through her. The same action occurred with a Fullbringer girl, though not being mistakened to be a Quincy, the madness that rampaged from her was something else. Due to her Osen triggering, Elke couldn't stop herself. A life that was taken due to her own actions, actions that she couldn't stop. So, she took her into herself as well. Two minds, with relentless wishing brought upon Elke feeling at times of someone else taking over. Like emotions that don't belong to her, of hate, of anger, of violence that just blends with her own. It drives her, pulls her to do things. And at times, seeing them.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Habits}

1. Eating Sweets

Cakes, cupcakes, pancakes, sweet fruit tarts, and pies, and etc. From the smallest Recess bites to the largest Taffy strip, there is always a bundle of sweets close at hand for Elke to munch on. When ever she feels the boredom settling in the need for sugar arises. When feeling sloppy and dead a bit inside, then the sugar is close at hand. When ever break time calls, so do the snacks. Geez, think that she would find herself getting too much in, well, it wouldn't be enough in the Sinner's mindset. There is never enough sugary delights that can quench her hunger and need for them.


2. Loofs Around

Hey, even a Sinner can get lazy at times. Elke does have her own tendencies to just hang around and enjoy herself with what she has to work with. Snacking on treats, sleeping, the Sinner can easily get lazy with all her adventuring and sight seeing. Plus, what else is there to do when one has lots of down time to kill. When not playing a bit of jokes and pranks on the humans, or taking the time to take what she needs, then pretty much just lazing around to take in the free air around her seems pleasant.



3. Buried Hoodie

Better to keep herself out of plain view. Or, when that seems a bit impossible, then better to hide away what sticks out like a sore thumb. The hoodie is a place of comfort in a way, almost like shielding her away what she doesn't want seen to the world. Best place to hide while in plain sight. Well, at least from those that can see spirits at least. Though, often it is merely used as a means to feel more secured about herself. This feeling still continues seeing that much of herself has changed. Regardless of how much confidence she feels at times, some things don't change.



4. People Watching

Something Elke does on her spare time. Or actually, mostly during her snack breaks. Studying and watching from distance, humans are found to be rather strange. Usually seen as a pain, and a hated group. But, at the same time she sees them as a group that would come to approve of her too. Some manner of acceptance. Strange is what she really thinks of the race.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Fears}

1. No More Sugary Delights

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO! The sheer utter horror of all the sweets in the world to have disappeared. That was an actual nightmare for the Sinner at one point. A world without sweets is a world without hope or a future. Like really, if you don't want believe it or do, those damn sugary delights do have some medicinal properties. Wellll, none that could be thought of at the moment, but good for the heart and for those short temper tantrums too. A world without sugar is a dead world.



2. Becoming Different

Well to begin with Elke is already different from how she use to be. Her personality has lightened up, and is now livelier than ever. Her body has changed and grown to accept it, even as she was still a half breed. But these things were to come naturally as it was meant to be despite being rushed to become an Akki, entirely against her will, there are some things that she doesn't want to lose about herself. What she wants for herself, and staying as who she was meant to be, even if she is a little more wild than before. What she is afraid of losing herself because of her transformation, or what she may become if she dive too deeply into what she is, knowing that she has more humanity than those belonging to the Vandenreich.



3. Going to Hell

Elke has never been there, but does realize that if she dies, then she will be going there. Not because of her beliefs or so called religion, but that of her very existence. A place where death is constant, along with the pain and suffering that comes with the territory. A land filled with screams. The place of her nightmares. A land filled with demons and those that are the damned. Nothing like the World of the Living. Full of life and wonders and excitement. But there, only death.



4. Screaming

That eery noise that is made when sheer terror or agony overwhelms a person's senses. Babies are easily capable in making such a noise. A noise in which absolutely shakes the Sinner to her very core. She doesn't know why, but it does so. Maybe it has something to do with how she was treated as a child. She doesn't know. Just the vibration that comes from the deepest part of those cries that shakes her resolve and all.



5. Her Emotions

They are what triggers the Osen's effects. So why wouldn't she be afraid of them. While many of them won't just simply activate the damn curse. Yet, for those that make her anxiety peak, then that is a whole different ball game. Joyous and goodie goodie feelings won't poke the curse. Those are filled with warm thoughts and sensations that make her feel alive. Perhaps it is the sensation that comes from much more raw emotions, like anger and sadness, helps to Osen to really nudge those more primal instincts of her demonic self. Who knows really?

SPOILER: Click to show

{Goals}

1. Maintain Her Freedom

It's really the only way to be for her. No orders or responsibilities. There is only her, herself, and me. No where to be, and no one to answer to but herself. Though, she has to admit it too that it does get pretty lonely. All grand things come with their own price. There really isn't a way of helping it all since she is part Demon. It is in her blood to reek havoc and destruction just as the rest of her race does. Solitude suits them best as no other being can truly understand them, but each other.



2. Ruin the Vandenreich

This might be her number one goal beyond anything else. Her other half is now gone, but the memories and images still haunt her. No one should have to be put through that same experience. For those that the Vandenreich convert, only to find out what awaits them is just further torment than salvation. With the Empire, there is no salvation. The only salvation that is there is death. Just plain and simple as any form of salvation can be for those monsters.



3. Be Beautiful

Maybe everyone would accept her more if she was. Being beautiful on the outside is what draws people more in than what is on the inside. Can't get close to anyone with just the inside, and personality. First gotta draw them in. Maybe if she were beautiful, then people would come to talk to her, and wouldn't want to run away. Maybe, just maybe, that they may want to be friends. Maybe she can even walk in public without someone screaming, or judging her.



4. Owning Sweets Shop

Why not since she does eat more than her fill. For Elke to really own a sweets shop would be a dream come true. Not to only feed her own sweet tooth, but to share that same feeling with others too. Like come on, what can be more better than sharing a sweet tooth moment with a friend? And yeah, she can eat all the cakes and candy that she could ever want too. Hell, just being able to bake would surely help her a lot kek.

Alignment: [Chaotic Neutral]

Aspect of Hell: [Brimstone]

Overall Personality:

What was to be expected from a demon half-breed. Violent, impatient, destructive, and defiant. Simple terms that pretty much sum up what the girl is really about. Well, at least when first meeting her at least. Violent; Elke doesn't do well with others. Always tends to begin with rushing into situations with high levels of aggression in order to really gain a better understanding who people are, and to better position herself immediately. Not the best way to introduce herself, but it is what she has grown accustom to when moving into the World of the Living. From her stand point, Humans are wild, unpredictable, and very hostile. Being different is what usually constitutes violence. People just don't understand and simply label others based on how they appear to be. They never truly understand what lies beneath the exterior. And sadly, it is because of that reason is what employs thoughts of fear. Like what Yoda said in those Star Wars movies when it came to fear; it all eventually leads to hate.

Elke had been one facing that for years. Abandoned by the father, and forsaken by the mother, those that came from all sides looked at the girl with scorn and disgust. Often times resulted with endless harassment and injuries. Even when leaving, it didn't end there. The Human World had the same tendencies of those from Silbern. So, introducing a little bit of her own violence in these cases helped to solve that issue. Though, it also supported their view points of her as well. Which led to her being a bit impatient as well with those around her. When being introduced to so many people with the same view points and mindsets, things tend to get tiring. Hoping that something would change for the better, the Sinner continued to embrace her naivety.

Now that didn't last long at all. The risk became too apparent with each day that passed by. So rather than just simply wait for another person to hurt her physically, Sinner went on the offensive first. Usually did the trick for those who got beyond a certain point in her personal space. Which is another thing about the girl too; she loves her space. Not in the sense of being paranoid, but she is too, but more in the likeness that she doesn't like people getting close if she doesn't know them well enough. More like strangers setting off the whole "Stranger Danger" vibe when they do. This is when Elke does get very defensive, and most likely triggers those violent tendencies. With that note out there, keep yer distance please.

Destructive; another way in saying making room for others when the old doesn't suffice anymore. For those that don't make the cut for the Sinner, then she goes completely wild. More wild in the regards that she won't hold back when a situation or people feel to be about pointless. Never changing for the better, but only to worsen the situation. To better life, what was there before has to be rid of. Change is necessary to develop. And to develop is always good, even if it is done through ruthless means. But more than that, it is the constant will to want that change to occur that Elke seeks most of all. Wanting to change the norm from what it is, the girl wants nothing more to be accepted as she is. Well, maybe even touching up her looks to be acceptable, but all the same nonetheless.

Sticking with the rules didn't get her any where. Following them only made the realization that nothing would change all the more apparent to her. Rules are for sticklers and for those who are part of a group. If change is wanted, then one has to be the one to break the norm. Placing herself past those that sought to control her actions only had her truly experience freedom. Sure, it does make her feel lonely at times, but better than where she was previously at before hand. Okay fine, Elke gets really lonely when she is the only one who breaks away from others. Just her treatment by others fuels her distaste and anger for other individuals. Love and hate relationship. While wanting to be loved by others, she is quite fearful of them as well. Afraid of being hurt again.

This is why Elke tends to keep people at a distance, even more so with those who she is closer with. The mashing between the two thoughts stirs a lot of the girl's anxieties. While seemingly stoic in public, all of her fears and anxieties causes her mentality and emotions to be quite frail. Actually, they are frail. Sensitive is probably the better word for it, but that is how Elke really is. Strong and off putting on the outside, but vulnerable to the behavior of others viewpoints of her. Like, no matter how off-putting she can be at times, Elke is still a girl. She has feelings, and her own baggage filled with problems that she can't get into details a lot of the times. That is probably due to having no one to talk to about them. The girl does get scared very easily, which prompts her to act out as violently as possible; in order to keep the bad things away from hurting her.

This is portrayed more as a self-defense mechanism for her that has become a habit. Meaning that she doesn't really do a whole lot of thinking when it comes to really fighting, or just plain duking it out. If so, then pretty much goes down to instinct. For better or worse, she relies heavily on herself to get things done than placing her trust into others. Which in tales, that Elke isn't very openly social. Grunting, or just plain noise is all that she tends to make from the start. Each one having their own subtle tone to it. Heavy when upset or angered, and light toned when sad or happy. Now, she does talk, and more capable of doing so, but that itself she doesn't really do much of with strangers.

However, it is a completely different story when she finally opens herself up to people. Joyful and playful. Just a curious girl who wants to take in all that she can around her. Being that of a Sinner, and one being with some special physical features, Elke can't really do as she pleases a lot when she is capable of being seen by spiritually sensitive folks. Almost seemingly shy, the girl always keeps her distance, and well over cautious. But nearly a complete one-eighty, does her attitude show remarkable changes in terms of personality. While most Sinners would be heavily wicked on the inside, what separates Elke from the others is just how human is she. Not in the factual sense, but more in the spiritual sense. When treated correctly, there isn't much difference between Elke and other children. More or less, she can pass off for an actual, regular girl.

Quite shocking really as no one would expect a Sinner to behave in such a manner. Though, it is not entirely true that she does carry her own baggage, but more or less she like everyone else around her. Each and every human being on the planet is very much like her; just as much as she is like them. What interferes a majority of the time is her outward appearance, which all the more reason she wears what she wears in public. Other than that, you wouldn't be able to separate her from a regular human girl. Elke is very much a go-getter when it comes to those new experiences. Remember, that there are no rules or restrictions placed on her beyond those that she sets up for herself. But remember, not only that she is as curious about the world as a new born baby, but also, very unforgiving as well. Trust is very delicate thing for Elke. For her to truly place her trust in someone is saying something to everyone. Elke doesn't trust very easily as her own experiences have contributed. Still, it doesn't mean that it hinders Elke's ability to go out and venture forth to enjoy herself. She is really adventurous and outgoing. Just not so much in terms of speaking, but more along the lines of action.

Much of this still remains to be honest. Despite what had occurred with her recent change, Elke still carries much of her old self inside. Much of it is used to rebuild the half that was taken from her, what was left to fill the void or else leading to her death. A half of herself was taken when the Emperor took back his power, only leaving the Akki nature that was left inside. That, and those that Elke believed to be residing within herself; Jacqueline and Ashisu. Two different personas that Elke truly believed that she was saving by ingesting their flesh, taking pieces of them into herself in order to keep some part of them alive in way. A bit of madness, with a dash of futility in keeping on a complete Human form, Elke just sort of went with it all. It was almost refreshing in a way.

Trying to keep appearances up, fighting against what she had been told her entire life, with what happened during the night definitely forced her mind to shift in order to survive. Either break down and accept what she was, or just end up killing herself. Those were really her only two choices considering that her other half, her Demonic self, now took full control over her body. Of course, through blood lines she resembled as she did before, but with a more wild outlook to match her other parental heritage. Being a full Akki wasn't something that she wanted, especially when fighting it for as much as she could. But deep inside Elke already knew that there was no running from it. By being put through this Elke had to take it on entirely, meaning no reason why she should pretend to be something that she wasn't. Like coming out of the closet in a sense.

Liberating, really. The powers of the Quincy no longer resided in her body, allowing her to discard much of her weak self, what she despised from her body. At first she thought it was her Akki self that she resented. It was through her experiences thus far, all of the anger and action that it had pushed her through was showing that she wasn't disgusted by her inhuman origin. No, that wasn't it. What she was disgusted with was the Quincy side of her. A part that was carrying a sense of shame and regret of trying to please the people that used her, and then discarded her. It was only a matter of time before the Emperor took back what belonged to him. Gladly, she is what she thought of. A new sense came over her as she didn't feel the need to fight against it any longer. Elke was free in a sense. So, why fight it?

No one to please, no restrictions as to what she could do with a new body, and not a single soul to answer to, Elke could act and run around as she pleased. With her soft shelled Humanity gone, the Sinner could express a new found sensation that she didn't have when being a half-breed. The feeling was hard to describe, but it just felt like it was something that she lost, or was trying to find when she was only a half Demon.

Fighting Style:

Now really, for a girl her age to know how to fight is kinda redundant don't you think? Like honestly, probably some 101 sort of information about how to fight is all that she knows; the basics in other words. The starting point of Quincy training at Silbern makes sure that those basics are well covered; so pretty much running and screaming their heads off while throwing the pew pews in shape of arrows and such. So, Elke does have some knowledge about it all, just not so much in really finding a means to use it. A majority of the time the Sinner, surprisingly enough, runs a lot. Like, a lot. Mostly out of fear, the girl ran due to being majorly outnumbered by enemies all around her, and the hopes that something would change should she endure. Fat chance of that ever happening when living in a cult.

At one point, it just became too much to endure. When the changes began to settle in with her body, it became too much to bare. Being a half-breed of a Quincy and a Sinner, life was already difficult. The Vandenreich wasn't as noble as they proclaimed to be. Her Hell nature manifested later made the treatment much more harsh. Her mother helped with her training, in the hopes that one day that they will accept her into the fold. Nope. When it came down to it, they taught her the lesson that is repeatedly taught to her on a daily basis after leaving Silbern. Nothing had changed. Elke had to defend herself at one point or another. Like the other Quincies in her class, the Sinner is proficient with a bow, though not in the same shape or form that most of them wield.

Much as she is her Hellish nature is integrated with much of her abilities, powers, and short term tactics. Elke isn't a strategist. Not by a long shot. So, how does she go about fighting then? Instinct and something that she would like to think of it as "the flow of battle." Thinking takes too much time and effort to really put things in perspective. Since being an extraordinary case among the Vandenreich, she didn't have much opportunities to train, or fight along side other Quincies. Which leads to the results now with her working solo. Now, she doesn't find this to be strange or anything as she has had the time to grow accustom to it all. But to be honest, it doesn't mean that she likes it either. So, the girl picks working alone rather than working in a group for obvious reasons.

When fighting, the whole aspect with "the flow of battle" is essentially feeling how one moves themselves. Rather than planning it all, she flows from one movement into the next. Nothing is planned, but motioned into fluidly in a cordial manner. Somewhat like a dance. Very fluid, and somewhat predicable when getting into the rhythm of it all. That, and with her tenacity to push forward into a fight rather than keeping a distance, Elke breaks the traditional fighting strategies that common Quincy cling to. But like with all Quincies, arrows are her primary means in attacking or defending. This means that Elke is very light on her feet and doesn't pack much. Being fluid in a fight is what is most important to her as she does run around a lot to better keep one thinking.

That is to say that Elke doesn't play very nice. Remember, she didn't really have the support that most children would have growing up. Even less coming from the Vandenreich, and from anyone in general when being "tainted" by evil. That same evil that the girl tries to suppress with all her might. The use of her Quincy powers is no issue to her as it is her primary support while fighting. But that of her father's side, the Sinner pushes it as far down as possible. It is hideous and foul. Bad taste to the mouth and all. Not to say that she doesn't like or love her father, just the fact that she has never met the man himself makes it all hard to believe that she had one. Let alone him not being around to help her mother, or protect her, but being what he was has been the one thing that has kept her from a normal life. He was a Demon who mated with a human girl and produced an offspring; Elke. However, despite them being her parents her mother's attitude appeared to be more disgust than anything else. Seemed more out of obligation than anything else.

That disgust passed on to Elke herself. Yet, that isn't her only issue with using her father's powers. The fact of the matter is the appearance of it that disturbs her. What it does, and how it looks; all of it makes her feel more as what the other Quincies view her as. When looking at her own reflection, even she begins to see it. All the more reason for her to forbid herself from ever releasing it. Though, when it does come out to play better stay on those toes. For the same reason why she finds it so hideous would most likely be shared by those who come to confront it as well.

Mid-range fighting is what Elke prefers to keep herself in. Not too far away and not to close where it can be in her face. Either way she finds herself to be in, one or the other predicament, the Nakkabaki doesn't really have a favorite spot to place herself in. If she had to guess where she would be in a group, it would be support. At least when not in use of her Saisei Oni. While it is in use, the girl forgets all formations and unleashes the inner demon that she carries within her. Friends, family, etc, there are no such thing to her as her Demonic nature goes rampant on the battlefield.

Much of this still persists as she remains mid range as much as possible. Sticking to much of her sort of foreplay in a fight as a Nakkabaki, not much changes as she does now maintain this distance with a little more prancing around a bit. Instead of just casual movements, she makes use of acrobatics a bit more than before to utilize more of her Demonic features to cause harm than that of relying on weapons. So pretty much her body itself has become the weapon than that what use to be the Quincy bow. Adopting more of a feline motion pattern, Elke uses more speed than that of power, using much of her own movements to get around to use less reiatsu. In fact, the whole idea is to make her foes to use more reiatsu than before be it techniques or stepping.

The main deal with Akki Elke is for her enemies to expel as much reiatsu as possible to better pervert it. What this means is to, in a way, infect the reiatsu that resides in the person, and in the enviroment in order to break them down with her Demonic influence. Being a full resident of Hell now, the power that is bestowed upon her is something that originally came from her half and half bloodline. With her being a full Akki now, the power of her Human heritage is no longer diluting what is now the full prowess of her Saisei Oni abilities. Here, she uses them to limit, or cut off a particular way of fighting to draw her opponents to meet them in closer proximity. In other words, she eliminates long range fighting capabilities to draw them to a distance that she prefers.


Saisei Oni Overall Ability: [Demonic Salt]

Should be called brimstone than salt, but hey, salt is everywhere and is usually the product used in purification and warding arts. However, rather than using them to purify something they are meant to introduce the influence of Hell itself into that which they make contact with. This form of salt comes from the portal that is Elke's body, blending with that of her aura in order to have it manifest in the plane that she exists in now. Elke's overall ability was designed to support her own fighting style in way that bolsters her combat abilities through the means of perverting the nature of all things around her. Altering the nature of what was intended by screwing with the body's internal workings, changing and mixing the world around her, and going as far as changing herself. Perversion of what was suppose to be changed into what Elke now desires considering her own heritage of being a member of the Vandenreich, but now made whole to spread her natural born sin in all that she touches.

Being born into the Vandenreich, Elke carries with her the blood of the Invisible Empire in her. However, she was not a natural born being a sort of perversion of the pureblooded Quincies. Heavily mixed with foreign blood Elke's Akki heritage was what made her Nakkabaki appearance be as such, half Human and half being Demon. Despite losing her Quincy powers, the Akki nature still carries a heavy influence of her Quincy past. This aspect of being a hybrid, and a desire to alter the nature and characteristics of all around her, Elke's abilities solidified into substance that can assist with her ability to alter organisms, and objects with them. This substance is what Elke's aura takes the shape of to help spread that influence.

It is when during her release that Elke's aura converts itself into this salty substance. One that is physically seen that emits from her body constantly as her aura naturally does. As it is her aura at this point, it is constantly flowing from out of her body. While she does not have specific control over it alone, it remains ready to be used at her beck and call. Every post it continues to be produced as it seeps out of the Sinner's body, which never comes to run low so long as Elke retains reiatsu as it mirrors the amount. So, in numerical number it would be 10 gallons per post. What this looks like is that the salt form small 1 foot long crystals that run down the forearms, over the shoulders, and backside of the waist. As such, if she lacks reiatsu to use, then the salt pretty much vanishes.




Saisei Oni Appearances:

What she appeared as a Nakkabaki has nothing on what she looks like now. Without the disgusting Human heritage of being once a part of the Vandenreich, Elke's body is fully able to express her father's side that encases, and vents from her body. This takes Elkes demonic features, and buffs them all up from a 5 to a complete 10 on the scale. To start us off with, the horns that come out of her head weren't just for show, but a starting point, or a mold, for what was to come next. Her horns extend further out. They widen themselves to grip the head of the girl, and much like a motorcycle helmet; Only that this helmet is in part her Hollow mask.

This mask swallows much of the girls head, shaping it to a feline, or cat resemblance. A bony snout is there with fangs lining up and down of where the mouth is located. The Akki's eyes are very visible through the sharpened eye sockets which makes a good base for her stern cat ears that form at the sides of her head. The scalp itself isn't smooth whatsoever considering that there are small quill like spikes that surround the back of the ears, and the top of the head going outwards until the roots meet the opening for the Akki's hair to come out from beneath the mask. Now, it shows that Elke's hair comes out from beneath the base of the mask, but like her arms and legs when in sealed form, her mask is difficult to distinguish it from an actual mask to being flesh. The distinction of the two is hard to tell here as it looks like the mask is fused to the face while at the same time separated since the jaw can move like an actual mouth. This must mean that the mask serves as a secondary face while serving as a skull to protect the Akkis actual head.

But onwards to the body because here the body seems to be wrapped up in a sort of hard flesh like suit. In parts flexible like muscle, while in parts tough as solid bone. This makes up Elke's new body taking on a Humanoid form while blending in heavily with that of a large Cat. Shoulder blades are over grown, and made up into three segments like that of her sealed kneecaps. Her collar and ribs follow the same fashion and design as very narrow gaps can be seen in between the seams that make up lines of the surface. Her arms retain a lot of their humanoid feature though they are further extended outwards to cover a full 5 feet in length, which is complimentary to her enlarged body. All the more reason why her body was designed this way to allow itself to freely bend itself, and contort in almost anyway. The forearms here have an actual design, with her elbows having half of a sharp half bow resemblance coming out that merge with the forearms. Both arms have this design with a trio of quills that line down these sections with seemingly hollowed out talons, all five being 5 inches.

Her main body itself follows a hollowed out trend like it did with her fingers. Thick layers of muscle melded with skin and bone make the exterior of the body, all joined in various segments while leaving sections down her rib cage exposed. Beneath her breasts, and just small gaps in between her midsection and ribs, fiery aura just illuminates brightly out of the body. This goes down to her pelvis and inner thigh segments with small gaps open to vent out the Akki's aura from the body. The body's pattern repeats itself down to the heels and feet, with some parts seemingly hollowed out in order to make small for her aura to escape out of and vent the body. Altogether, her body seems to be made up to share similarities to that of a skeleton. But a skeleton with four tails now.

Like with her Nakkabaki released form, Elkes Akki release carries much influence from it to a matured state. Rather than being simple tails like they were in her sealed state, this time around spinal like columns form these 5 foot long tails. All four tails have this same structure which also allow Elke's aura to seep down each segment all the way to their tips, making them appear to be flaming whips. Which does mean when looking back at all of the hollowed gaps in Elke's new body as her aura vents from each area, her entire body seems as though it is venting fire like furnace, with glowing talons and tails.

1. Hell Seethe (Body)

With her aura taking the form of salt, a static like cloud spreads across her body to announce its presence as well as the effect it has on the reiatsu around it. Being that from Hell, an unnatural presence is presented that pushes away the reiatsu of the world around her to create a field that acts as a barrier. A form of barrier that resembles to what Arrancars would use being a Hierro. However, this does not strengthen the skin as it is Elke's own aura seeping out of her skin that is only 1 inch thick, and protects her, in a sense that is isolates her from the world around her, and beginning the process that would eventually be cast into the world itself. This does guard against both physical and reiatsu, but does not stop the impact force that comes from them making contact into her body. This costs 100 reiatsu to use, and 150 to maintain per post.


Drawbacks:

While the limitations and drawbacks are very few, they reflect on the various uses that the technique really does have at this time. Considering that this is purely meant to protect her using her spiritual pressure, it can't push itself farther out to protect Elke. This means that while it would protect her in most cases against spells and being stabbed or cut, it doesn't protect from feeling the force that is put into each impact.

If there is a lot of weight or muscle, or force, her body wouldn't suffer injuries on the surface, but still doing internal damage considering that it does not absorb the kinetic energy behind them. Plus, this Seethe needs to be maintained per post if continued use, and this aspect of the technique can be harassed to the point that Elke fatigues herself. But also, keep this in mind that her aura resembles salt in this manner, it won't do so well when water is introduced to her body as it would wash away and cancel the technique. Wind based techniques also have the same effect just like with water as wind can blow away the use of the technique for 1 post before it recollects itself. So yeah Elke will need to conjure the technique again with water, or with wind based techniques. And yeah, a stronger offensive stat can break through.



2. Salt Stakes (Weapon)

It couldn't be helped that her weapon of choice would be that of bows and arrows. Despite her powers as a Quincy were taken away from her, the blood that courses through her veins still remain that of a Quincy. By blood right, Salt Stakes completely make use of this feature. As such, the half bow spine that is attached to her forearms are put to use by the salt spears that gather and collect as 3 individuals, with the length of 1 foot, lining down the forearm. Each of the trio are capable of separating from Elke's forearms, shot out as arrows in order to spread the influence that they carry with them. 50 reiatsu is needed to create these arrows, and each one can travel as fast as 600 speed. But this is only what their physical appearance are capable of as to their composition is made up of salt particles, or that of Elke's aura. This firing process does need 50 more reiatsu per arrow.


Drawbacks:

Well the drawbacks are square and in your face. The amount of reiatsu that is needed to make use of each aspect of these arrows. Creating them, firing them, each aspect of the technique has a cost to it. So if not careful Elke can go through a lot of her reiatsu pretty quickly, which can lead to fatigue. Not only that she can get tired from constant use of this technique, but when the arrows are seemingly about to fire from her forearms, they are clearly visible to the eye. These arrows are not able to change their direction once they are fired, and they loose their structure if they go past 40 feet in distance. Meaning that they fall apart and dissolve.

{Saisei Oni Segunda Etapa Techniques}

1. Seethe (1st Body Upgrade)

Picking it up to the next level of Hell Seethe, what this does is beginning to express her aura a bit more out than before. Unlike before, Seethe now essentially is able to move around and about away from Elke's body, now capable of putting some distance from herself, and where she would be likely injured. This is where her Sin begins to truly encompass the Sinner's body, allowing to develop into a cloud that Elke can freely move with her mind, though only around her limited distance of 3 feet from her body. The salt cloud moves as quickly as Elke's overall speed stat. This is as far as her salt cloud can go before it collapses on itself. This does take 150 reiatsu to initiate, and 150 to maintain per post.


Drawbacks:

Still acting as a sort of shield for the Sinner, but now it is more mobile. This mobility means that it is no longer guarding the body leaving it more open to be harmed as usual if the cloud of salt does not intercept it. Like before, Seethe does cost a bit of reiatsu to maintain per post, and it does have a weakness of being washed away with water considering its composition with that of Elke's own aura. This means that she will need to recast the technique to get it back up again.




2. Territory (Body)

With essence from an entirely different plane, did you really expect nothing to happen to world that it is now in? Changing the atmosphere into Elke's liking is what Territory begins to establish in the world that she now resides in. A small scale of course if the technique name had not established that already. This is done by releasing her aura into the air to be absorbed into the environment. The salt particles released into the area radius of 5 feet, causing both the air and the reishi to be mixed with Elke's Akki aura. When in contact with an organism, it feeds into the skin to add this poisonous substance into the system. What occurs next is fun since it immediately targets the mind, making it difficult to concentrate, and causes organs to experience burning pain from strain. Reiatsu cost is 100, and the area of effect lasts for 2 posts.


Drawbacks:

Fairly obvious as to what the limitations are to this technique since it doesn't hurt the body beyond its pain inducing properties. Over exposure to the technique isn't lethal as once the person, or people, are in contact the effects are already active, making them sorta immune to any build up. What Territory does is pretty much making the body spasm a bit from the pain, but not entirely immobile. Meaning that Pain Tolerance 1 can will help to push the effects back, while Pain Tolerance 2 can just walk through this mess without issues. So, it would make it a fairly useless technique if people are ready for it at this level. Not only that, but the effects only last for 2 posts whether or not the person stays within the affected radius if they are already afflicted by it. Plus, venting out 150 reiatsu helps to burn the particles out of the body.





1. Stakes (1st Weapon Upgrade)

Being arrows made up of salt was cool, but now Stakes push it a bit now introducing the Hellish nature into the Salt particles that have gathered. The uniqueness to this new influence is actually quite dramatic as her arrows are now living entities that the Sinner can command. Able to change their trajectory with mental commands, and with 75 reiatsu each, the Stakes true nature is only realized when they make contact with a body that possesses reiatsu inside. Now, two things can occur here depending on what the Stake makes contact with, being an that of a body, or that of the environment:

When in contact with a body, the Stakes will literally dig into the body, breaking through skin, to connect themselves to the person's reiatsu flow, thus becoming a form of parasite whose body that the Sinner can manipulate. This form of manipulation requires no reiatsu as it is comprised of Elke's aura, and is only restricted in manipulating its own form. This means that only the parasite itself is manipulated by Elke's thoughts, corresponding to her desires.

When in contact with the environment, the Stakes plant themselves in the surface and act as a sentry that Elke can control through her thoughts. As it implants itself to the surface, the Stakes extend themselves to a length of 5 foot long tendrils that have a hook like tail that are capable of stabbing. Their durability is consistent of Elke's spiritual pressure as well as their own strength being the same as her physical strength.


Regardless of where they land, these forms can only last for 2 posts before they dissolve.


Drawbacks:

The limitations of the Stakes fall under the same restrictions with that of the previous form. Elke's control over these stakes, being that of their manipulation, is only enabled so long as they remain 40 feet within Elke's radius. So, this refers to the Stakes that are sticking to people or monsters, that happen to go beyond 40 feet. Once beyond this distance the Stakes become utterly useless and dissolve quickly. Of course, beyond this limitation, their restrictions are going to be based on where they strike, being that on a surface of the world, or on a person. If on worldly surface, then they can't move from where they struck since they dig into the surface. As for those who have been impaled by the Stakes, the Stakes can't move from their position as they dig in too, and can be removed either by tearing them out with superior physical strength by the roots, or burned away by venting 200 reiatsu.




2. Injection (Weapon)

What better way to pervert something than to put it into them directly? It is as the name suggests when it uses Elke's tails to make it all happen. The flow of the Sinner's aura swallows the shape of her tails, igniting the bone edges with static like salt to alter their lengths and tip like that of stingers. Here, the tails begin to extend further out on top of the 5 foot long tails that Elke has already, an additional 4 feet are added into the length. The salt here radiates with a sharp glow suggesting a potent amount of the Sinner's aura being drawn up the length, to which is correct if that thought crosses the mind. This technique costs 200 to activate.

So when injected into a person, or creature, Elke's salty aura begins to connect itself with the hosts spirit, linking the two together in order to disrupt their use of reiatsu. How does this effect the hosts reiatsu? It does so by forcing the body to expel more reiatsu than usual, by x2 based on what the original technique costs, inducing an intense burning pain that throbs at the site when using reiatsu. This solely doubles reiatsu uses with techniques, and not techniques that rely solely on stamina.


Drawbacks:

Certainly needing to poke the person or whatever is required for the technique to actually work. You know, considering that her aura acts like a sort of poison and needs to penetrate the skin. So as long as the stinger doesn't penetrate through the skin, then the individual will be same. This is graciously emphasized as to be a bit cautious of the technique when seeing enlarged, stinger like tails that glow swiping at you, like if not saying that these are dangerous to be poked by. At the same time, when affected the technique lasts for about 2 posts as the glowing tails only last for about a few seconds before reverting back to normal tails.

{Saisei Oni Tercera Etapa Techniques}

1. Seething Presence (Body 2nd Upgrade)

No longer an entity that remains as shapeless as her aura does, but something that takes on a figure that mimics the actions of its Master, as a manifestation of the Sinner's will. Presence is one that takes on a ghastly figure that is formed by the salt that is produced from Elke's body. It clings close, hovering just inches off of her back. Its static like appearance features two bulky forearms that are shaped as over sized gauntlets with claws, roughly the size of a man's upper body, and talons about 1 foot in length.

Its lower half only has that of an opened rib cage with a single opening in the front of it. It has no biceps, or shoulders to speak of, merely that of an upper body and mouth like head. This puts the thing at 9'10" at height as its body is hovering 5 feet off the ground. Its durability is the same as Elke's own Spiritual Pressure, as well as using the Sinners Physical Strength as its own Strength. This forged being also is an extension of Elke's aura so it would be using Elke's senses to serve as its own. But as solid as it may look it is still made up of salt particles that is comprised of Elke's aura. Costs 250 reiatsu.


Drawbacks

Serving more as a bodyguard, Presence's design forces its body to stick close to Elke at all times. As such, there is no concern needed wondering about ranged attacks like shooting something at its targets. This does point out to the fact that Presence can't use any of Elke's release techniques, and non-release techniques. As a watch dog it does not act against what Elke desires, meaning that it still takes orders and merely mimics the girls actions when needed. So, it does not have a mind of its own, and consumes a lot of reiatsu gradually as it does need 200 per post to be maintained. As a result of its overall nature, continuous harassment to Presence will cause it to fall apart since Elke does need to concentrate to focus her aura in maintaining its form. This sort of harassment made easier due to its weakness to water.



2. Dispersal (Body 2nd Upgrade)

oh boy, things only get worse as time goes by, and there is nothing quite like Dispersal pitting a person against themselves. What Territory did with the body's internal workings, Dispersal does worse. Salt particles begin to erupt from Elke's body causing them to emit a faint scent of sea water into the air in a radius of 10 feet. This scent, when inhaled attaches themselves to the glands and inserts the Sinner's aura into the body where it begins to force the body to experience a painful burning sensation that spreads across the body's nerve system. These doses of Hell aura begin to feed on the body's stamina, draining away the fluids and nutrients for each movement that they commit to. On the first post the body throbs with a numbing sensation before the 2nd post which the burning of the body commences all over the nerves. Reiatsu cost is 200, and lasts for two posts.


Drawbacks

Just like with any infection or poison, the body has to be flushed. With the simplest way of dealing with this is to vent out 200 reiatsu in order to remove the particles of Hell from out of the body. Either that or having a higher spiritual stat to keep oneself from suffering the effects. And considering that this technique has a limited range of 10 feet, it is easily overtaken by wind based currents, or drowned by water due to the fact this relies on smell or taste, and that these particles are still salt based that carry within them Elke's aura. However, for those afflicted, Pain Tolerance 2 dulls the pain, with Pain Tolerance 3 being able to walk around ignoring the effects.



3. Foundation (Body)

The start of infusing her sin into the world, but fusing her nature into the ground that she stands on. Starting with 300 reiatsu, Elke's body pours her aura into the ground that she is currently on to a large sand pit. The salt in Elke's body seeps into the ground and immediately spreads out in a radius of 30 feet, sucking up all the nutrients from the ground to cause an immediate desertification effect to occur. Plants shrivel up and die, concrete breaks down, dirt dries up and all sinks down 5 feet with sand up to the knees. This makes walking and running around a bit more of a struggle as the sand sinks in easily up to the knees placing further strain on ones stamina. In return, the collective nutrients and such are gathered up into four 5 foot tall salt crystal columns comprised of Elke's nurtured aura now solidified, each of the stones taking up the center of their respective quarter. Each column as strong as the Sinner's Spiritual Pressure, and the columns stay for the remainder of the thread until destroyed.


Drawbacks:

Rather than being a defensive or offensive technique, much of this technique is used as a means of surprise changing the conditions of the battlefield. Harmless to those that are above the ground, the ground would collapse as Elke's aura drains and allocates the nutrients taken to the four individual columns that are formed. Hence why this is really nothing more than a means to slow down individuals by struggling naturally through the sand, making those with 300 physical strength or more being able to walk freely through it. Besides that, the sand is harmless being that of the ground now without the resources to keep it healthy. Not only that, but staying out and away from the affected area won't be difficult since it is easily to spot.



1. Yearn (Weapon 3rd Upgrade)

From stakes to now half rabid beasts, it has come quite a way from where it first started, and only gets worse. With how Stake ended being somewhat sentient, yearn begins to stray away from mental commands and becomes rather violent towards those that do not share the Sinner's Aura. Like with stake, after released from the forearms, with a cost of 150 on top of what "Salt Spikes" costs were per arrow, Elke can have her arrows behave in a manner that depends on where the arrow bolts penetrate. Only when making contact does "Yearn" reveal itself to those that are not Elke, lashing out violently.

When on a surface, the salt begins to suck out the nutrients, minerals, to form itself into a half bodied ghoulish beast. With only a upper torso, and dripping beefy arms, these stick to the surface that they were struck on, capable of stretching what is suppose to be their hips out about 5 feet. Their physical strength is equaled to that of Elke's, with their durability is half of the Sinner's Spiritual Pressure.

Now, if they should somehow managed to hit someone, then the same thing occurs as the point of contact the arrow will burrow its roots into the spirit to feed off of. When this happens, 150 reiatsu is taken from the host in order to construct the same creature as it would if it was on a surface. This creation has the same stats as listed above when on a surface, including occupying the section in which the arrow made contact. This means if a shoulder was struck, then the creature covers the entire arm. If on the chest, then it wraps itself around the chest up to the collar and to the waistline.


Drawbacks:

For the best effect to work it is ideally that Yearn makes contact with a person, otherwise it'll more or less an attack dog. The major drawback is the excessive amount of reiatsu that will need to be spent for a single arrow to use this technique let alone a trio of arrows. This can waste a large portion of reiatsu if Elke isn't careful enough. Not only that, but when planted into a surface the surface has to have minerals or nutrients that the salt particles can absorb. If done so with a surface that is already dead, or lacks reiatsu, then the technique would fall flat on itself and dissolve. That makes it quite useless in a desert setting or wasteland. Besides that, if the creature is severed from the host by the stretching midsection of the body, then the creature can easily be killed as it is like roots. Either that or drown it in a large pool of water, burn away 250 reiatsu to burn the roots, or pull its roots out from the surface with 200 physical strength or more.




2. Conspiracy (Weapon 2nd Upgrade)

While the previous was suppose to be potent at the tip, now has extended down the length of the tail to the base with saw like teeth. Conspiracy is level up from what Injection was, targeting the spirits ability to use reiatsu without strain to oneself. As Injection caused reiatsu costs to double, Conspiracy adds on a stamina depletion effect to the mix as using reiatsu not only is x2, but the stamina needed to use techniques now also experience a x2 use. Walking will seem more like running. Climbing stairs will be the same as treading up a steep hill. What goes on is the smallest cut from the tails can insert particles of salt that carry Elke's aura, dispersing them into the wound to feed it directly to both the spirit, and to the body's nervous system to cause the fatigue to occur when performing regular day to day duties.

This now causes the skin to burn with intense pain when ever the body moves to the use of reiatsu. Reiatsu Cost is 250 and the effects last for 2 posts, including when the technique is in use the tails grow and additional 4 feet in length like with Injection.


Drawbacks:

Just as before with Injection, the stinger needs to pierce the skin in order for effects to kick in. Even with the slight change as to how it goes about piercing or cutting, contact is still needed. So if the skin can't be cut or stabbed, the technique pretty much does not work. The tails length and stinger like forms only last for 1 post so contact is needed to be made before having to be recasted. Being similar to the previous technique the change to the tails are easily noticeable, and the effects only last for 2 posts with nonlethal effects. Not only that but with 200 reiatsu the effects can be purged right away. Though, if not then someone can walk around with the dulled pain with Pain Tolerance 2, or Pain Tolerance 3 to ignore the pain.




3. Claws of Deterioration (Weapon)

With clouds of static salt (black and white), they gather to the talons of the Hell Cat to create larger claws to help intoxicate those in close range fighting. First of all, the technique itself is completely misleading since they don't actually solidify over Elke's claws, only acting as though they are. Why is that? It is because when contact is made with them, the salt particles explode to cause an aroma to be released that is blended with the Sinner's aura. What this does is essentially screw with the sensations of the body, rewriting the sensory of pain and desire. Desire is shuffled over to take over the sense of pain, making the individual affected by it become more estranged by the feeling of pain being that of pleasure, as Elke's aura rewires the brain to pervert the individuals body. Sadly, the effects only last for 2 posts, and cost 250 reiatsu to use, which the form of the claws last only for 1 post before dissolving.


Drawbacks:

Kinda of perverted yeah, so it makes for an interesting show, but with all lewdness aside the transformation to the claws are clearly seen. Kinda obvious considering that the claws grown a whole foot longer than usual with 250 reiatsu, and this cost only affects the hands of Elke and not her feet. So that does mean her feet won't be much of a concern in regards to this technique, nor would that of the effects since they cause unnatural arousal instead of pain. This defeats the purpose of causing bodily harm in some way how her other techniques function, making it harmless in its own way. Not only that this technique breaks upon contact, regardless of what it strikes. 250 reiatsu can purge the effects of the change occurring in the brain, setting the functions back to normal, but who would want that? Also, a higher spiritual stat can also help negate the effects seeing that this targets the brain than those of the other senses.

{Saisei Oni Cuarta Etapa Techniques}

1. Hellbound Cat (4th Body Upgrade)

Now this is gonna be a Naruto thing when looking at it from a distance, because that is what this technique pretty much does. Venting out her aura from her body, with a cost of 350 reiatsu, salt pours out from the Sinners body to create a form of herself that is x3 her body size. It moves just as fast as Elke does, and is Physically as strong too. Her own body is cast inside the 15 foot being that acts as a barrier, separating herself from the outside. But, that is not all that it does when she goes on turning things into sand. This isn't from the use of reiatsu, it is merely due to Elke's aura has been so condensed that it dries up whatever it does with her Spiritual Pressure. So, when touching organic material in this form it dries out at a rapid pace before dissolving into sand. When first touched, if it is a person, the skin dries out and cracks painfully. Second time, at the same place, the skin will fall off and muscles will burn immensely. Third time, the muscles corrode and begin melting bone. Very painful if physical contact is made.


Drawbacks:

Well, nothing says an easier target to hit than that of something that nearly as tall as a building. Can't possibly miss with this. Despite it moving at the same rate that Elke does, it can't use any of her non-release techniques. In fact, all of Elke's non-release techniques can't be used while in this form. This form causes Elke to tire out easily since having to push her aura so far out to create something like this, the amount of time that it can last is only one post. After the one post, it will take 3 posts to use again. Pretty much it isn't something to be used lightly, and mainly used for emergencies. Aside from that, a stronger offensive stat can get through, though offensive spiritual stats are more preferred to be used considering the effect above.

Water and wind based techniques do not have the same effect as they did before, as now they require a superior Offensive stat to show some wear and tear when going up against this technique. With just a superior offensive stat, the Shape of Hellbound Cat can be broken down but not entirely. This would require a 50% superiority offensive stat for the water, or wind based techniques to remove the salt particles from their condensed form, which will render much of the salt harmless.




2. Turmoil (3rd Body Upgrade)

Things are definitely looking bad when your skin begins to crack, like literally with pain bursting out through the veins and out of affected areas. Turmoil starts to dry out the skin after the salt in Elke's body explode to create a faint cloud that is spread across the range of 5 feet. From a more concentrated dose the area is smaller than before, but providing a more severe effect on the bodies that it comes into contact with. Not like physical contact, but when inhaled through the mouth and nose, the blend of Sinner aura travels through the blood stream to cause the effects to surface almost immediately. A duration of 2 posts to be exact as the body pushes this foreign intruder to the surface where they collect and crack the skin.

During the first post, the pain shoots out from the head down to the fingers. The second post is when the skin starts cracking and splits, while the pain starts shooting down to the legs. Cracking doesn't occur from the stomach down since the mouth and the nose are what would make first contact. Reiatsu cost here is 300, and does not work against spiritual stats higher than Elke's spiritual pressure.


Drawbacks:

Higher spiritual stats pretty much burns away the influence that Elke's aura can do to the body, though it can also be burned or purged with 300 reiatsu. Pain Tolerance helps to reduce the pain when at [2], or push it aside completely with Pain Tolerance 3, and Strength of Will 2 makes the pain a bit manageable too by muscling through it, and easily manageable at Strength of Will 3. Beyond that, staying out of the affected radius keeps the effects from occurring within the body if not inhaled, or sealing up the mouth and nose so it doesn't make contact with the membranes. And lastly, the particles here are easy to see as the air within the 5 foot radius appears to be shiny in nature.




3. Desertification (2nd Body Upgrade)

A much bigger, and wider form of Foundation. With the use of 400 reiatsu, Elke pours her salt like aura into the ground to immediately cause the ground to turn to a desert. A 40 foot radius of land around Elke becomes nothing more than sand, sinking into a pit that is 10 feet deep, with the body sinking up to where the thighs are. Obviously this makes running around and walking more strenuous, almost like running in deep snow. As to what happens to the absorbed minerals and nutrients in the ground, like with Foundation, 5 columns made up salt crystals emerge from the ground, each one standing about 5 feet from out of the sand. And yeah, this change in the environment remains for the remainder of the thread.


Drawbacks:

Sorta a trap, but mostly changing the environment, Desertification is a way to change the terrain and environment that causes trouble for anyone involved. Costing a lot of reiatsu to make happen, and easily avoidable so long as people remain out of the hole. Even if in the hole, so long as the people can get out of it, they can stick to the outside and they will be fine. Plus the technique does nothing to the people standing over the affected ground, mostly they just fall in. As the last limitation to the technique, it won't work in desert areas, or land that does not have minerals, reiatsu, or nutrients that the technique can feed off of to convert it into sand. Barren, lifeless, even beach landscapes aren't affected.




4. Salt Acid (Body)

Something not expected from someone such as her, but still utilized in a manner that can turn a regular breath into something hazardous. Concentrating, and blending the composition between her aura and salt together, Elke's body can expel a lethal acidic form from out of her mouth that burns anything that it touches. This spray can travel up to 5 feet towards a direction that she chooses, being that it is comprised of the woman's aura it can burn reiatsu as much as physical objects that it makes contact with. To do this, it costs 300 reiatsu and happens almost instantly, and the acid travels as quickly with it being 1200 speed. If in contact with physical objects, or skin, the object will melt as skin would suffer 2nd degree burns. When in contact with reiatsu, the mist like stream burns away the energy if it is not superior to that of Elke's Spirit Pressure.


Drawbacks:

Salt Acid has a limited range, as well as a limited amount of times it can be used per thread. Just because it is made up the Sinner's aura, doesn't mean that it is good for the body, or her own throat. For that reason, she can only use it 3 times in a thread. This limit is severely only meant 3 times because it forces the spill out her aura, making it acidic even to herself, and does not do wonders for her mouth, or throat. Plus, using it all three times means that she will be using up a lot of reiatsu for limited shots. So better make them count. And considering that it is made up of her aura as well, it can't go far in this diluted form.





1. Perversion (4th Weapon Upgrade)

The arrows that come out from Elke's forearms have now been specified in their nature, giving them a more aggressive feature when stuck to a being with reiatsu. The stakes now range up to 3 feet in length as they can travel up to 800 speed when fired from the half bow form on her arms. When in contact with an individual, no longer a surface from the environment, the Stakes will not begin to merge with the person, or body, that they made contact with. When touched, the Stakes will cover the section of the body, arm, torso, leg, up to the joint and painfully transform the body to a partial demon, severing control away from the host while still capable of feeling everything that happens to it, which control goes over to what Elke desires, or thinks about. This costs 350 reiatsu.


Drawbacks:

Anyone can notice the drawbacks to this technique, since the Stakes need to make contact with a body that has reiatsu. The settle difference from this version when compared to the others is the lack of surface manipulation. That aspect has been removed, meaning that if the Stakes do not make contact with a person or creature, then the technique won't work. This overall makes the technique heavily reliant on what it needs to hit in order to work. If struck, or contact is made by the Stake, then a superior offensive stat is required to seize back control of the infected area. This will forcibly make Elke's influence away from the mutated area. Either that, or have it treated with Healing Expertise of 200 or more. Strength of Will 2 will turn the struggle for control of the mutated section like a tug of war, while Strength of Will 3 will lean control more over to the host's side with a few spasms here and there. These effects last only 2 posts once infected.

Lastly, this technique is able to be purged with reiatsu. This cost consists of 300 reiatsu to help burn the roots of the infection. If havying superior physical strength, this is able to be possible with venting out 200 reiatsu while pulling the Stake at the same time.


2. Maim (3rd Weapon Upgrade)

Maim is nearly the peak at what Elke's weaponry can do as the potency of her effects grow stronger. From costing extra reiatsu to stamina, the 2nd to last level of this series comes up near paralysis of the body. More specifically, a strong numbing from the waist down. With 350 reiatsu, the ends of the tails restructure the formation of the salt here, and make them into pincer like stings. Both in which can expel this form of neurotoxin in which the demonic salt is injected through a stab, or a cut, that flow through the blood stream to target the lower body by crystalizing the interior so the muscles can't accept new orders from the brain. As such, the legs fall under heavy strain and are less responsive. Lasts for 1 post.


Drawbacks:

Contact is a must, and must be able to cut, or stab into the skin. This is needed because it obviously needs to make some form of contact into the blood stream, breaking the skin for the effects to kick in. So those with steel skin, or hardened blood, won't have any effect since they can't be penetrated to deliver the salt into the system, making it a waste of reiatsu to pretty much harmless. Not only that, but venting 300 reiatsu can dispel the effects from the body, or having a superior reiatsu stat too. Plus, the stingers only have a limited range, this time only sticking to what Elke has access to as this version of the stinger does not add on extra length to her tails.




3. Aphrodite (2nd Weapon Upgrade)

From pain to pleasure, and now pleasure to utter bliss, Aphrodite takes the next level in its own evolution, turning the mind and the senses to pure and utter joy. This version of the salty claws still creates talon like cases of salt around Elke's own talons, but with an added kick to the sensory dampeners, after contact with the talons is made. After contact is made with these claws, the form bursts out in small sparkling particles to sink into the skin. The reason being for this is that Aphrodite not only turns all pain into pleasure, but the average day to day senses such as hearing, sight, smell, touch, all in which turns the individual into a form of horn dog themselves. Aromas are intensified, sights become more delusions than what reality shows, etc. All exterior senses now made to please the brain and the body in a way that is similar to the best dreams that the afflicted themselves can only imagine. Costing 350 reiatsu, and lasts only 1 post.


Drawbacks"

Now physical contact is a must here. The particles need to touch flesh in order for the particles to seep through to affect the nervous system. Bodies that have barrier over them, like physical shield, or barriers that are made up with reiatsu, won't allow for the technique's effects to kick in. This too is fact that if the afflicted has superior spiritual offensive stat, then the technique will just burn up inside the nerves before they can reach the brain. Aphrodite's effects only last for about 1 entire post, and the claws themselves happen to disperse upon physical impact with anything that touches them. Not only that, but those with Calm Mind, or Strength of Will 3 can still have a means of resisting the effects, so far to being aware what is happening to them, and of course to help them stay mildly focus. With the last resort of escaping these effects being purging them with 300 reiatsu.





4. Tendril (Weapon)

Adding another means for Elke to fight with, the salt fuses with that of the body to open up more scenarios for the Sinner expand her arsenal. With 300 reiatsu, Elke can have the salt that her body produces to fuse together into the roof of her hands in order to expand both her bone structure, and armor to resemble a pair of whips on both hands. 5 foot long appendages that are connected to the body, malforming a portion of her body to extend her reach than what it previously was before. These become permanent for the duration of the release.


Drawbacks:

Not quite like the rest of the techniques that Elke has on her, but a change that forces her body to undergo a slight change from its previous nature. The limitations are simple as these new whips have a limited range to them, and cost a sum of reiatsu to grow out.

{Saisei Oni Quinto Etapa Techniques}

1. Lady of Salt (5th Body Upgrade)

Forgetting what took on a form for itself, Lady of Salt now condenses that being into a field that emits directly from Elke's body, being the one that is nearly incapable of approach. Lady of Salt turns Elke's aura into something so concentrated that it practically dissolves all that comes near. The salt that comes from her body is fused so perfectly with her aura, densing its formula to the point that the air around her, ranging 3 feet radius of her body, just breaks apart from utterly drying out due to how acidic it is. Where she walks, the ground itself becomes barren and desert like. What she touches corrodes effortlessly. And reiatsu that attempts to touch her, being less than that of her Spiritual Pressure, simply flakes away as the reiatsu breaks apart to render it harmless. Costs 450 reiatsu, with 250 reiatsu to maintain per post.


Drawback:

Talk about untouchable, but at the same time overwhelmingly costly. Using it the first time makes it difficult for Elke to touch anyone who is friendly with her. While in use, Elke does need to have a great amount of caution to not maintain it for long periods of time as it greatly drains stamina. Maintaining this technique is equal to that of running a marathon despite perfecting the concentration to make the field around her so acidic, but at the same time it is a delicate balance. With this much concentration in the air the Sinner's body practically looks ghostly, like as if she was fazing in and out of reality itself. So it is easily to spot when distant. And lastly it can be overwhelmed by superior spiritual stats.

Concussive blows like shockwaves and explosions can still penetrate through Lady of Salt, but with a lower superiority requirement. Rather than needing a full superior offensive stat than Elke's, one would need at least 25% beneath her stat. For example, if her stat was 800, then anything above 600 would be able to pass through, yet this is restrictive to only an exertion of force that is made from shockwaves, etc. Also, it is to be noted that the effects of water and wind techniques must have a superior offensive stat than that of Elke's offensive stat to strip away the particles that surround the Sinner's body.


2. Bone Husk (4th Body Upgrade)

Particles can't get any worse than they can already can they? The answer is yes. A mist like residue that emits from the openings from Elke's body to contaminate the air in a radius of her ranging up to 25 feet. Salt particles that when breathed in stick to the interior of the mouth, and nose, to dry out the body's fluids to cause heart pains, and difficulty in breathing. These particles that carry Elke's aura have two targets that they attack when drying out fluids, and these two targets are those revolving around the heart and lungs. Particles that when touching the mouth and nostrils send aura throughout the body to target the blood flow that surround these areas, and begin to drain the fluids to stricken, and tighten the muscles. That is where the pain comes from, with the lack of oxygen and water that are being carried to these areas only to be taken away. Costs 400, and area of effect remains contaminated for 2 posts, with effects lasting 2 posts.


Drawbacks:

Energy Sensory of 200 can easily detect the spread of Elke's new influence on the battlefield, so being a bit easy to perceive what is really going on around the Sinner with all that glittering dust that is mixed into the air. Bone Husk, although causes immense pain internally, it does not kill unless having a heart condition or something. This technique is considered nonlethal as it only attacks the areas within the body, mainly to cripple, but not to kill. This would be better if it did not affect everyone else in the area, so not great in group fights. Bone Husk can be purged from the body as it is aura, though with expelling 350 reiatsu to force it out of the body. Not only that, but can be blow away easily too with strong winds.




3. Dust (3rd Body Upgrade)

What more is there when Elke can practically turn entire fields into nothing more than deserts? Well, the last step in that evolution is to control what she has already caused. To relish in what she has done to the world, the very nature of salt can be called upon at her finger tips, bestowing upon it her own salty aura to manipulate it as she pleases through thoughts alone. This is done by a cost of 400 reiatsu to manipulate the salt in the environment of a radius of 15 feet around her, but that is not all. With an extra cost, Elke can even infuse effects from a single technique from any one of her previous forms to provide this newly controlled substance with an extra kick. This can be applied by adding in the costs for that technique when Dust is in use, but effects can only last for 1 post. 250 reiastu is needed to mainta Dust per post, and the salt affected by this technique moves at a speed of 800.


Drawbacks:

Dust maybe powerful due what it can do, but it does have a hefty cost to maximize it too. Not only that a cost is needed to use Dust, but to utilize its secondary ability is to pay full cost of another technique on top of it. So Elke will have to pay two reiatsu costs instead of one, with the effects, regardless of the technique, only lasting for a 1 post. That being said, Dust also has a limited effect range of 15 feet, and that is given if there is salt within the area itself. Because if going into the sky, then highly unlikely she is gonna be able to manipulate salt unless someone throws it up there with her. Lastly, it can be broken apart with a superior offensive stat.




4. Mist (2nd Body Upgrade)

What came from a stream of air that emitted from Elke's mouth is now spread across the surface that the Sinner stands on. Mist discharges the collective formulated salt from within Elke's body to release it as a wave of 5 feet away from her body. Towering 8 feet in height, the single burst travels as fast as Elke's overall speed stat, spreading the highly acidic properties that the wave consists of. With the use of 400 reiatsu, this discharge occurs immediately as Elke's body emits a static like glow from within her body that radiates soft through the openings of her body. And although it can be physical overcome, it is highly not recommended as whatever surfaces that it makes contact with can cause 3rd degree burns, nearing 4th degree. The rate of how fast this mist erupts from the Sinner's body is at 1000 speed.


Drawbacks:

Very potent to the degree that flesh can be peeled off bones, the obvious sign that when the technique is about to be used is one that can't be ignored. The limited wave radius can be easily broken through, while it is safer to use spiritual energy to disperse the wave so longer as someone has a superior spiritual offensive stat, or blow a hole in the wave to disperse it. Also, Mist does have an opening since its discharge is not like a dome. The height of the wave is 8 feet tall, meaning it can be jumped over to avoid it without having to use reiatsu or physical force to break through.




5. Particle (Body Technique)


What better way to move about in what you caused than to drown yourself in it. Particle is more of a means to moving around that is exclusive to Elke in which she breaks down her own body to be that of the salt that makes up her aura. This being allowing her to submerse herself into terrains that are comprised with similar properties as salt. This costs 300 reiatsu to do, and can only be used once per post.


Drawbacks:

Something that is not really over the top as the other techniques that Elke has in her arsenal as this is comprised of merely turning her own body into what she brings unto the land itself. Now there are some limitations to Particle being that the Sinner can't meld herself into terrains that are solid like concrete and boulders. Tough structures like steel are things that she can't move around into as well considering the surface isn't soft or deprived of minerals. Natural soil falls into the same as steel, etc, limiting as to where Elke can use the technique at. But to add on, that Particle can only be used once per post, needing to resurface before the post ends or being at risk of losing her own body within the terrain that she melded with to move around in, which is definitely dangerous for her.

Lastly, Spiritual based offensive techniques can still harm Elke while in this form. This is due to how the Sinner's body changes itself to meld into the environment meaning that her spirit is still currently present, and moving about. Because of this, reiatsu can hurt her if this new form of her's is struck while physical blows do nothing, with the except of shockwaves, or explosions.



1. Heresy (5th Weapon Upgrade)

What were suppose to be arrows that clung closely to Elke's Quincy heritage are now full demons themselves that have a one track mind. With 450 reiatsu, Elke can create 2 arrows that sprout out of her forearms, each one being 2 feet long. 80 Reiatsu is the cost for launching them as arrows, but it when they leave her forearms that the stake like arrows expand, and form themselves into large canine black heads that seek out to devour their intended target. These arrows can travel 600 speed.

Yet, turning into this monster like heads is not the real effect as the salt that makes up their bodies is the real cause for concern. While the previous versions allowed for the stakes to stick to their targets, Heresy puts an end to all of that as they simply dry out the surface that make contact with. If Elke's spiritual pressure is higher than what ever that Heresy makes contact with will painfully shrivel up, and corrode the layers down near the base structure, or that of the bones. These beasts can only travel up to 30 feet from Elke, and last for only the post, or make contact with something.


Drawbacks:

Heresy like the other versions still does have a limit that the arrows can travel up to. If the arrows go past this range they will simply break apart immediately, as well as wasting the reiatsu that was used to make them. Now Heresy isn't easy to miss considering how big they are, and with how they are first introduced into a fight. Heresy has to first come out of Elke's forearms, and are fired as natural arrows, so they clearly seen. Not only that they are easily capable to consume a lot of Elke's reiatsu reserves, but Hersey can still be rendered useless if the person they make contact with possesses a higher spiritual offensive stat, or by crafting a barrier to make contact with the arrows to cause an unintended activation.




2. Scar (4th Weapon Upgrade)

The final level of the toxin that Elke's aura can do to a body, or rather this time, the spirit. With 450 reiatsu, rather than making this a form of perversion of the body, Scar takes it deeper reaching not to the nerves but to that of the spirit itself. When stabbed by pincer like shape that the Sinner's tails take on, the salt clings to the wound while transferring the Hellish nature of the girl's aura directly into the spirit. What this does is flaring the entire body with burning pain that can cause partial paralysis, and this is due to the interference that it does to the spirit, forcing any releases from the individual to use x2 the original cost. The paralysis portion extends throughout 3 posts upon infection, which the affected area slowly loses feeling until the 3rd post that will make the process complete. After the 3rd post, the numbing sensation vanishes. This sense of pain continues through the duration of the release until the afflicted person cancels out their release and returns to sealed state. This cost will last for the remainder of the thread until purged.


Drawbacks:

Unlike the other versions of her tail weapon technique, Scar doesn't extend the length of the Sinner's tails. Still being visible to the naked eye, as something to be watchful of, Scar targets the spirit while doing little effect to the actual physical body. The burning pain that comes out is only expressed during times of release, meaning to those of Shinigami Shikais, etc. A reiatsu cost of 400 can purge the effects of Scar, or just as much as having a higher spiritual offensive stat. Strength of Will 2 can manage the pain with some concentration, with a 3 in this skill being able to power through it. While Pain Tolerance 3 is needed to ignore the effects.




3. Paradise (3rd Weapon Upgrade)

From Butterflies to Rainbows, it does seem to be like paradise no matter where the afflicted looks and feels as the senses have now become rather sensitive being that their entire body has now become one big pleasure muscle. The salty claws turn into a rather bleak static color, fazing from the mixture of black and whites that are constantly on the move, and waiting to erupt on contact with whatever they touch. When physical contact is made with someone, Paradise will shuffle about to make skin contact. This is when the effects kick in driving all senses within the body into one large erogenous zone, using the afflicted's very own memories of pleasure to simulate all five senses. Smell, touch, sight, hearing, taste. All five senses become engrossed by the repeated stimulation that their own body undergoes from their own, most pleasurable experiences to trap them in an infinite loop of glee, and constantly on the edge of satisfaction. This technique costs 450 reiatsu to use, and only lasts 1 post.


Drawbacks:

For a very powerful sensory technique to use against individuals, it can only work on those who know pleasure, and only lasts for a short period of time. 1 post is the only amount of time that the technique is capable of entrapping someone, and only able to be used 1 time on a person in a thread. A high cost for sure, with a limited use, but only only that Paradise does need to make physical contact with skin for it to work. In addition, the salt claws that carries Paradise's effects can be prematurely activated if made by any form of physical contact, even with that of surfaces. Strength of Will 3 will be needed to separate oneself from the effects of Paradise if affected, or with Calm Mind 2 to resist the effects, with a 3 in this skill to maintain self control.




4. Tether (2nd Weapon Upgrade)

With a shuffling hook end, on top of a 10 foot long whip, Tether pushes further to better provide for its Sinner Master. With a cost of 400 reiatsu, Tether allows the salt within Elke to merge with that of her forearms to allow two long whips to be formed that carry the same durability as Elke's spiritual pressure. Both whips are able to be retracted, or extended out for the full 10 feet in length with them only lasting for a single post. There is no limit as to how many times that Elke can use Tether, but do require the full payment of 400 each time it is used.


Drawbacks:

Just like with Tendril this technique can be used as many times as Elke would like, but the cost will be hefty each time she stops then reuses it again. Tether can only be used once, which they dissolve after a few seconds, then require another payment of 400 to use them again. Regardless, even if one whip is used, the cost is still the same which makes this technique one that the Sinner has to take consideration of using, or else it will consume a lot of her energy. Not only that this isn't a dangerous technique, but also has a limited range still, and won't reach farther than what it is intended to go.




5. Salt Veil (Weapon Technique)

Infusing a bit of her aura into one of the quills that run out of the back of her head, a single quill can overgrow in length as its composition changes to mirror that of a slender stake made up of salt. This stake is about 5 feet in length, but it is mainly used a sort of blade that quickly disperses into a veil of particles. When this dispersal happens, the salt veil that is created becomes too thick to visually see directly through it. The reiatsu cost is 250 reiatsu to covert a quill into the stake weapon that Salt Veil comes from, and the technique only lasts for 1 post, including the veil that is dispersed, lasting also 1 post.


Drawbacks:

A simple technique that only consists of shrouding Elke's movements with the veil that is made by the salt making up the stake. As this is merely to blind, or cover the Sinner's movements, it seems to be only used to confuse those around Elke. Being that this technique takes 250 to use per quill, the costs can grow if not careful, including that the Sinner's movements won't be shrouded forever as the veil only lasts for 1 post. However, being that the veil is made up to conceal, spreading about a 5 foot radius, it can easily be blown away by wind based techniques.

-History-

Birthplace: [Silbern]

Current Residence: [Karakura Town]

Memorable Figures: [None]

History:

Everyone has their tales and secrets. Legends, myths, and stories that are held within those tales and secrets. Quite possibly what end up making up those myths and legends. A Demon in Silbern who would come to eat children who did not worship his Majesty was probably one of the oldest stories that the parents would tell their children. Somewhat like the Boogey-man on the Vandenreich as other groups, races, and religious practices have their own variety of monsters. Something to keep the little kids in line and behave as they grew up to later serve the Empire in their own fashion sense. But, until then they resided in Silbern to live out their days until maturity. At least, that was what happened with Elke's case. But, unlike the others, she was kept away from a majority of the populace. She wondered why for a good long while.

Those who did not reside in the main houses of the Empire, not trained yet to serve would be found along the outer perimeter. At least until they were ready to accept the blessings of their God. Although she was born and raised to be one of the Vandenreich, Elke wasn't truly accepted. The nature of her birth was never really disclosed to the public, or to her for at least some time. All that the girl knew was that she was just a regular girl; at least in her own perspective. But, she knew that there was more to what they told her as she was constantly watched by the adults. Her mother was no different. When ever they spoke to each other, comforted, and ate with each other, something always nicked her. The way her mother acted towards her was a bit... unusual.

Going to the academy, home, or where ever, Elke was always supervised by someone. Her mother as per the norm would remain close to her as any parent would. Everything she did was suppose to be practical rather than entertaining. Lessons upon lessons with tutors and other proctors. The "Special Treatment" was what the other kids would say. Always given special attention by the adults, being kept away from the groups, treats and sweets if she did well, you know that sort of case. Some of the other kids would rouse up trouble just for the sake of making that fact very clear. Bullying was the sure fire thing to get that point across.

Often pulling her hair, tagging her desk, or ripping her clothes. Some went beyond that and went with the whole "direct" course and tried to fight her. The adults, or her Handlers, would get there before anything serious happened. Even then, she noticed that the attitude of the adults was the same as her mother. Or rather, her mother was like that of the other adults. Dismissive, feigning ignorance, and the such. "Mom, why... am I different from everyone else?" No answer. Her mother would only give her a single glance before turning back to what she was doing before. No second glance or a word unless she wanted to do so. That was how it always was for Elke. Questions upon questions and never any answers. Just more questions as to why she was treated as so.

For a time, she was accepting it all. The growing solitude from the other Quincies of her age, and the adults who continued to observe her like a lab animal. It was only through her efforts that she prayed that her mother would take notice. All the blood, sweat, and tolerance that she gave would hopefully draw her mom's attention to her. If she did well, if she gave it her all and became strong for the Empire, then hopefully her mom would praise her and love her more. Hopeful thinking but a goal nonetheless that would keep her going at least. If not that, then what was the point in doing anything for the Empire. The constant segregation kept her isolated from the rest of the group around her, pinning her as the center of her class, and that of other things that she didn't know, or understand. What she wanted, though, was the answers to her growing list of questions. That was what she wanted the most.

But the answers she desired wouldn't come in the aspect that she thought they would. They came abruptly. The first portion came after her first tantrum. The Osen was triggered. At that time she couldn't remember much, just the screaming. Her heart rushing, pounding against her chest, the throbbing of her head, and the blood that ran down her fingers. What started it all was blurred with the moment, but for those kids that remained on the floor will never forget. Looking back at it now, that was the start of everything; everything that went downhill. Adolescence struck her like it did with all the other children. However, the change that occurred with her came with some added surprises. Her Nakkabaki nature kicked in as her horns blossomed from her head. Eyes burned, fangs settled in, and her overall color pigments lightened. Despite her changes none of the adults gave her answers. All that she got was more visits to the facilities.

Blood tests, pain inductions, brain examines, the works. They grew all the more constant than ever before. Hell, she didn't get to see her classmates or the other members from her group any more. Complete solitude is where she was kept for a majority of the time. Elke didn't get to see much of her mother. Whenever Elke would have her outbursts her mother would enter the scene. Convenient really. Elke wanted to see her mother many of times. Adults came and went as they pleased from where ever they kept the girl. It was only her that wasn't allowed to leave or go anywhere unless instructed. And well, that wasn't often. On rare occasions she would be able to see the Sun, or even the sky. Only pins and needles with lots of shock treatments and workouts. She didn't realize it, but she became an official lab animal.

Five years, for five years she spent locked away as her gene traits became all the more apparent. It could no longer be concealed anymore. All of the horns on her head were now in plain view as they punched through her bangs. And just as the experiments continued so did Elke's rise in aggression. The teenager lashed out at everyone and everything. It didn't matter if they intended to hurt her or not. Even the tactic of using her mother as a means to tame her have failed. Over those five years Elke learned their mechanisms and strategies. She learned through the years of pain and isolation that she couldn't trust them. Not the adults. But, possibly her mother. Maybe her mother would help to get her out. Create an opportunity, or some way to help her escape and go back to the open world of Silbern. Something. And she figured when it did come, it would be quick.

As time went by Elke began to learn more technicalities of the facility that she lived in. Time tables and the works. Essentially clock work. It wouldn't take long before the Nakkabaki escaped from her prison and venture back on the outside. A breath of fresh air and full view of the sky, now all that was missing was the classmates. A few she was still on good terms with being that they treated Elke the same as everyone else. The rest were more against her. But none of that mattered as when seeing her, the person that they knew, their thoughts and previous notions about her all faded away. All they saw at this point on was what can be described in a single word; Demon. The Quincies attacked. Their childhood fears and prejudice rose to the surface, and attacked the horned girl. They didn't care who she was at all, that she too was a Quincy. Nope, because for them to get rid of the evil in front of them was of the upmost importance. The Nakkabaki fought back.

It was the same as it was before when she had her tantrums. This time more severe, and well conscious at that too. She struggled to face them as more Quincy came. But the one that caused her Osen to trigger was the sight of her mother, point her bow and arrow at her. A mother and her child face to face while the others continued to search. "I knew I would find you first. I know you better than anyone else after all." her Mother spoke in the same manner in which she always had before. A tone that lacked compassion, concern, and love. After all the years she had been with the woman, never did she look at her with the same glistening shine that the other parents did with their children. Each day she saw them laughing as they were picked up and carried in the arms of their mothers and fathers. None of that was given to her by the woman that she faced now, or from a father that was never there.

"I knew that this was a mistake. Having done all of this was nothing more than a waste of time and resources. I can not believe they thought that this would help the Empire." her mother carried on. At first, Elke believed that her mother directed that notion to what the Vandenreich was doing unto her. Quite possibly being used to test out a new sequence or strategy of how to rise future Quincy. To make them better than before. That had to be the sole reason for all of this. So, if that was the case, then it would that all of her suffering and pain was actually a good thing. All of it was to make herself strong and.. "Giving birth to a monster like you was a mistake. I can not believe that they wanted me to carry that filthy creature's seed inside me. And then nurse it and raise it. Disgusting." Eyes widened and pupils dilated. She didn't want to insure of what her mother said was true. The young girl wanted to make sure that it was all a mistake. Another test maybe? "M-momma... I-I .. "DONT CALL ME THAT. I am not a mother to some failed experiment; to a monster."

As if the world itself collapsed in on itself. Everything she came to believe; the people, the teachings, reality itself, all of it was a lie constructed for her. Her world and her life was only a construct to be nothing more than a test subject for fusing two different blood lines together. One from her father, a Sinner, and that of her mother, a Vandenreich Quincy. All that her mother was meant to do was to insure that she survived long enough to be deemed either a success or a failure. Never once did her mother even wanted her. For that reason Elke ran away from Silbern. Her blood carried with it the Quincy race, capable of removing herself from the hostile world of Silbern. Tough as it was to escape, it too was a blur. All that she can remember was the taste of that woman's blood on her lips. Her mother was alive, for that she knew too well. And yet, it didn't matter. Nothing did. All that Elke can do for herself now is live on for the next day. It's pretty much all that she can do for now in the town that called itself Karakura.

Karakura was the central hub for all spiritual activity that went on in the world. A cluster full of Shinigami, Hollows, and others that the Vandenreich had been keeping an eye on. Factions and groups that remained under the shadows within the city, being kept in the dark to prevent too many from watching as to what they were doing. It was a perfect hiding spot when it came to runaways that were looking for shelter. Elke didn't know what to really expect, only relying much on her training to keep her alive. And that was pretty much how she got around. Living in the shadows, taking no permanent residence really anywhere. The Quincy didn't speak to anyone. Made little contact with the people of the city, passing herself off as someone who was just abandoned, or simply a bum herself. No one would look to the slums of the city to find someone among the many that hid there.

Too much attention if the Vandenreich started to kill off the homeless. Plus the stink would just make them want to stay away. Sometimes the lowest of the low were what made the Sinner feel a bit at home. At least at times it did. While she didn't fight the hordes of Quincy that may have come looking for her, she did have to stave off hunger and thirst. If it wasn't one thing it was another considering food was usually moldy, and the water was pretty contaminated. If it wasn't going to be arrows that came from the Empire that would kill her, then certainly the diseases that came from the environment would get to her if Elke wasn't careful. This was what made up Elke's daily life now; fighting and starving.

Breaking into places to steal was what she had to resort to. Breaking in glass, doors, whatever means she could to enter an establishment to take what food she could, and what little money she could scrounge up. It wasn't much, but enough to keep herself fed here and there. This often got her into trouble with the Police, even drawing some unwanted attention. That sort of attention drew the eyes of Wycliff, a Shinigami that only acted the valiant man, but turned out to be filth on the inside. Someone that showed a bit of kindness, and the reason why she had to go with a nickname to keep her identity as secret as she could. No names meant no trace, even a false one was better than giving out her real one. If the Shinigami had an information on her, or possibly an Imperial Quincy got word of it, then Elke would have been in trouble. But....it didn't help if she went to go look for it.

Ashisu was the first that she encountered through mistaken identity. Someone who she turned her attention on with an active curse. A curse that fueled her anger towards the entire Quincy race, believing that there were no others like herself. So, Elke fought. She fought, she struggled, all in an attempt to kill the girl. And she did. She did accomplish that with finding out that Ashisu was just like her; a runaway. Someone who struggled to find what remained of her family, and the brewing hate she had for the Vandenreich. Such hate that Elke took into herself, combining her flesh with that the Sinners. Her mistake was peering down at someone with no evidence to back it up. That anger. That hate that the Sinner took in felt like it resonated with her perfectly. It was as though Elke could feel Ashisu's contempt for the Quincy race, for the Vandenreich. Elke truly believed that Ashisu resided somewhere inside of her, still alive, and still wanting the same sense of peace that Elke does.

That hate drove the Sinner to remove the Soldats from Karakura. Difficult to find, but when doing so, made it easier to plan out, and kill them. Elke came to cross paths with a Shinigami girl, who for some reason Elke found to be missing after she woken up. Their encounter left the Sinner marked, wounded to the point of fainting, yet did not find the girl that made it happen. Was it a mistaken observation that allowed Elke to survive that encounter while being unconscious? Probably not, but it was what she could come up during that time of exhaustion. Those same injuries required nutrients, and the sort that would fill up her belly. So, Elke went to stealing again. This little theft of produce and bread is how the girl came to meet with another Quincy; a rouge of sorts named Abbadon.

One thing led to another, meaning that her Osen was to blame, and founded herself being able to rest with the man at his home. Some minor talking, and introductions, Elke stayed with him while he called up another. Another being that someone Abbadon knew that could help Elke come to find herself, and help her. Something that she did take actual interest in considering what her other options were at the time. A time that would be used to push herself forward, and really stick it to the Vandenreich. Yet, after speaking with Shizuka, the night that came afterwards Elke couldn't remember. Moments she felt like her heart was being torn away from her. A presence was there, calling to her from beyond the sky. Something that she didn't want to respond to, or accept. It made her feel angry, more so that she wanted to kill it. Before she could even tell what it was, before the realization of who it was....it was too late.

What was suppose to be a warm body became cold. Something had been taken from her. Something that forced its way into her body and stripped her of what made her up. The half that was Quincy, that made up who Elke was had been taken. Her Quincy power torn away from her body to return to where it once originated. A power that limited Elke in a manner of speaking, something that made her feel out of place, and incomplete. A half that was torn away that allowed the other to spread while the fires of the world beneath her came. It felt like her other half was rooting itself into the empty space that was left behind. Like a tank of gas that was filling up the empty compartment that had nothing in it. It was filling her with a sense that she didn't know until now. A sense that made her somewhat...happy. The chains rattled as her own consciousness returned. Her body converted into the astral form that originated with her other half. But, no longer half, but whole.

Elke's body wasn't that of a mixed being as the impurity that filled her was taken away. Now there was no half, no imbalance. Elke was now stable, being as to what her own mother referred to her as. Now, Elke's own being matched with what many of her comrades had once referred to her as; a monster. A new Akki was born.


*PLEASE CLICK THE SETTINGS BUTTON AND REPORT THE POST WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE APPLICATION. PUT "GRADING" FOR THE REASON*

[Tsajara Dread]

Hello, I will be your test grader! What this essentially means is that I will be grading your application as though I were a member of the mod team. However, my grading will be subject to review by the next grader! Well...actually since this isn't a 2/2....it's more or less exactly like a normal mod grading I guess!

First I would probably ask that you....state somewhere what growth route you're taking? Since you have Quinta etapa, I ASSUME you're going the HSR route. But if you could put that maybe....net to the type? Soldier V2 (HSR route). Just for clarification. As IF you go any of the other two routes, you don't really need the quinta etapa graded.

Anywho let's get started.
Since this is a reapp I'll not really get into the non-power sections. Everything seems good and shifted over. Plus it's just a reapp. Not liek you have to meet the criterie, you're just maintaining your old class.

Alright onto the powers!

Sasei Oni Overall: Doesn't seem to have any actual mechanical application. IF you plan on producing this salt outside of the use of say, a technique, then I would want you to put something simple just for tracking's sake. How much salt she produces, how fast she produces it, ect.

Primera Etapa:

1. Hell Seethe (Body)
This seems reasonable. Affording protection in a manner that I assume is similar to Gaara in Naruto, only it's like an inch thick. So or things like showckwaves she would be open. The upkeep is a bit on the low side, but given the weakness to fluids such as water, I would assume that it might also be possible to blow the sand away with wind?
Please do include wether or not something like that would be able to blow the sand away. But otherwise it seems fine. It's a little on the storng side, but only a little, which is par for the course with Akki.

2. Salt Stakes (Weapon)

Also fine. Cheap attacks, nothing special or complicated. A good setup. also has per arrow cost. Seems bueno to me. To be honest they don't really need to dissolve after 40 feet, given they're just little salt bolts. But it's fine as is if you'd like to keep them as such.


Segunda

1. Seethe (Body Upgrade)

Again reminds me of the Gaara sand. Still within reasonable limits, ans continues to have a reasonable maintenence cost.


2. Territory (Body)
Fairly reasonable. A bit on the weak side but honestly, siubtler effects can be much more useful, I'm intrigued to see how this upgrades. It has good resistances, and people can just pay a small reiatsu cost to push it out.
However since it IS effecting people's minds...I would normally like to see an OS resistance. but the effects are really so small that it's not that big a deal. The very small reiatsu cost to purge and the fact that very low skills can ward it are enough for now. At least at this levels. But at later levels, it may need an OS requirement as the effects grow more intense.

1. Stakes (Weapon Upgrade)

When in contact with a body, the Stakes will literally dig into the body to connect themselves to the person's reiatsu flow, thus becoming a form of parasite whose body that the Sinner can manipulate. This form of manipulation requires no reiatsu as it is comprised of Elke's aura, and is only restricted in manipulating its own form.

Could you clarify this a little bit? Does elke gain control of things the stakes are stabbed into? If so then you would definitely need an OS clash for this. Superiority if it just controls like...the direct muscles and fibers its in contact with. If its something like an entire arm, you'll need something heftier, like 25%% superiority. I would put it higher, but given the stakes can be ripped out, or burned out with reiatsu, or can be outdistanced, that makes it a bit less worriesome. But again, I'd like some clarification as to the extent to how it controls things? Or does it just work like a little tracker? Soem clarification would do swell.


2. Injection (Weapon)
This seems fairly fine. Given the fact that elke has to approach people to inject them into her targets, not just simple contact. So it has a higher barrier to being initiated than a lot of abilities. Hmmm, Double IS however a pretty strong starting point. I'll be keeping an eye on if this increases with more levels.

Tercera Etapa

1. Seething Presence (Body 3rd Upgrade) ((Actually this is the second upgrade, V3. But semantics)
Seems super fine. No complaints here. Guardian boi that hovers over her. Nothing problematic that I can really see. I would just point out that you have not mentioned any senses for it. As such, it won't be able to say, see something that elke isn't looking at. If you want to change this, you would need to give it senses of it's own. but if it's just an extesnsion of Elke, there's no need.

2. Dispersal (Body 2nd Upgrade)
Seems fine. An uptick, but nothing crazy. The cost to shoving it out of the body is reasonable, and though it's effects ARE higher, it has an OS requirement for it now. So very bueno.

3. Foundation (Body)
Seems solid. changing up the field. Nothing ridiculous. Has a good cost and reasonable durability.

1. Yearn (Weapon 3rd Upgrade)
Solid! A good progression, but it doesn't become antthing too crazy. Having a minion grow off you is pretty bad, but you have to hit people, the projectiles are pretty reasonable sped wise, and poeople can rip them out or use reiatsu to burn them out. Plus they cost quite a bit more now. 450 for a trio at this level. So this seems fine to me.

2. Conspiracy (Weapon 2nd Upgrade)
Still solid. An addition of stamina drain seems reasonable. the cost goes up a fair ammount. but the effect doesn't last too long. Still doing good.

3. Claws of Deterioration (Weapon)

Decent effect. Nothing too debilitating, easy to purge with reiatsu, and doesn't last very long. Also simple superiority allows immunity. I see no problem with this, especially since the claws only last for 1 post, so Elke has a narrow window to execute the attack, making it costly if the target keeps evading. So good!

Cuarta

1. Hellbound Cat (4th Body Upgrade)

That is a REALLY powerful ability. But that's to be expected from Cuarta etapa. Plus the fact that this locks her out of non release techniques? I'd say this balances out just how potent touching this thing is.
I'm also assuming that Water will still wash this aura away. If it doesn't, I'd like you to specify that it loses that vulnerability, and maybe we need to work something out (like water techniques of a certain os conpared to hers would still wash it away). Otherwise, this looks fine to me.

2. Turmoil (3rd Body Upgrade)
Another good uptick. the effect IS a lot more potent, normally I would want the Os to be higher to accomplish this bad of an effect. but the fact that it has a fairly reasonable reiatsu cost to shove it back out and cleanse makes me feel a bit better about it being more intense. Plus the fact that os superiority still grants inmunity.

3. Desertification (2nd Body Upgrade)
A very fine technique. Modifying the arena, uptick in scale. And considering the reiatsu cost, I'd say this is a good place for the tech to be at. All seems reasonable.

4. Salt Acid (Body)
this seems...ALMOST good. My only concern is the use of the word 'instantly' in what seems to be the speed of the breath. Now, this technique is REALLY short range, and not only that, she has a limited number of uses. But it still does need a speed. Because of how short the range is, and the fact it has limited uss, and well, being a Cuarta etapa tech. I'd say a speed of about....1200? Should be fine. Hard to react to, but with enough instinct, even people with low end speed can shunpo away if they have enough warning and nothing is in their way. So it's still feasible to avoid, just VERY hard to, while still avoiding it being...well..instant.


1. Perversion (4th Weapon Upgrade)
Another uptick. And now I see they can outright fully take control of a part of a person's body. the skill resistances are solid!

However, if you don't meet the criteria....it still seems like it could be a bit of a losnig game just from one touch from these things. And considering their new speed, and the fact they are sentient. I would like 2 things.

1: I would like a reiatsu cost of this technique, I assume its the same as the previous level, but I want to be sure.

2: I would like a reiatsu cost to purge the control of the arm. To keep it inl ine with the previous levels. this can be a bit higher than before. Like say, an extra 100 reiatsu. But I think it be reasonable, even if its a bit expensive. Maybe 300 Reiatsu. Also people should still be able to pull them out of their body with a certain ammount of strenght, as with the previous level.


2. Maim (3rd Weapon Upgrade)
A very solid uptick. However, given it only lasts 1 posts, allows OS iommunity with superiorityy, and people can shove the effect out with Reiatsu. I'll deem this acceptable as is.


3. Aphrodite (2nd Weapon Upgrade)
Same as before. The effects are much more severe, but given how short they last, the resistances allowed, and being Purgable with Reiatsu. This is perfectly acceptable.

4. Tendril (Weapon)

Ah they're just ....whips? I mean, They're just whips. And they don't seem to have any effects like the rest of the body. You probably could have this not even have a reiatsu cost to be honest? It's... a bit on the weak side. But if this is what you want, then I'd say it's fine to pass.


Cuinta


1. Lady of Salt (5th Body Upgrade)

As expected of a Quinta, it's very strong! Obliterating anything that comes in contact. But given the cost, and the fact that the aura is only a good three feet from her body, I think this is a pretty alright ability. I would however like you to specify that the sand still does not block exertion of force, and as such things like shockwaves or explosions would still rock through it. Additionally I would like to verify that the weakness to liquids like water still exists.

2. Bone Husk (4th Body Upgrade)
Another considerable jump! But the duration still remains low, with a fairly hefty reiatsu cost! Which makes me feel this is solid!
The aura is a bit stealthed, but the fact that it has an ES to sense, limited duration, can be purged with reiatsu, AND while extreme, is still nonlethal. This technique is acceptable.

3. Dust (3rd Body Upgrade)
Potent, but costly. Really adds up given all the other techniques she has going on. It has a decent range, and has solid control.
I would only ask that you apply a speed at which the sand you control moves at when you're working with it. Given the effect, I would say maybe....800? It's a fairly short range, so I'm ok with it being fairly fast, even despite the fact that it can really extend the range of some deadly effects. But given the upkeep and all, this seems fine.


4. Mist (2nd Body Upgrade)
Solid! As I stated in the previous version of this tech, considering the limited range of this technique, and the cost and low duration of the effects, I would say that you can have this travel at a fast speed! Given this is a slightly wider ability, normally I would lower the speed a bit. But well, this is quinta etapa. so I'm fine with this moving at 1200 speed still. The width of the burst is much higher, but given the fact that it only moves about 5 feet, I'm fairly fine with it moving really fast. Thouch certainly if you wantit to maintain a lower speed, that's fine.


5. Particle (Body Technique)

hmmmm, this seems solid. It has a solid reiatsu cost. Limited useability in some areas. I think it's good. I WOULD say that you should specify that an os-superior attack that hits her while she is in sand form SHOULD still hurt her body. Also I would like some sort of speed she moves at for when she's moving through a material, otherwise I will assume that she still moves at her regular speed in sand form. Otherwise this seems fine.



All in all, it looks really good so far! A little weak at the beginning (Expected since it's ...waht....class 6? But it gets VERY reasonably more potent at later levels, again expected of an akki!
The abilities are VERY potent, but given the drawbacks given, with a few exceptions mentioned above, I think they're perfectly fine as is!


If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to Dm me in discord, or simply make a response post here!

1. Heresy (5th Weapon Upgrade)

Solid! The potency is raised, but given the other aspects this really is fine as is. In fact, you could have them last 2 or 3 posts if you like, though I understand if you wanna keep it at 1 post to make them more manageable to keep track of. Good reiatsu cost. Effect fitting for a Quinta. And an Os superiority check? These look fine to me.


2. Scar (4th Weapon Upgrade)

a REALLY solid effect! It has a reasonable cost. Normally I would bother with an Os, but frankly, given you can shunt the effect out with Reiatsu that's fine. I WOULD however, like some sort of duration on the paralysis effect mentioned early on. Even only lasting 1 post thats a REALLY hard effect. And though it can be purged with 400 reiatsu.... Hmmm. I would like something maybe like ....3 posts? That's plenty of time for you to try and take them out. I feel if they survive that long, they should be able to shake off the effects. Or say, if for example, they manage to keep Elke talking for the paralysis to wear off. The other effects can still persist, the paralysis is really my only major concern. Otherwise fine as is.

3. Paradise (3rd Weapon Upgrade)

An......interesting effect. And a potent one. But given it only lasts 1 post, can onyl be used on a target a single time, csts a good amount, AND has skill resistances? Hmmmm I think this is fine as is, given it's limited uses on a person per target. And the fact that it's a quinta etapa.

4. Tether (2nd Weapon Upgrade)
Errrr, seems fine. As before it does seem a bit on the weak side. I don't think you really need to pay each time you have the whips shoot out. Especially since quinta only really lasts 5 posts and it only really adds some reach. Finer as is. You can remove them dissolving after a few seconds to be honest.

5. Salt Veil (Weapon Technique)
hmmm, another fairly simple technique. It's just a bit of visual cover. I would normally want to have some sensory level that can see through it. But well...it's not a very big veil, and this is quinta etapa. So I think this is fine as is.



and there we have it!

[Elke Sia]

Hey Hey, made the edits that were put into question or were concerned about.

That said, getting into specifics, fwue. Only posting on the techniques that the rose questions and concerns.

Overall ability


Added an amount and how the salt is constantly pouring as it is restricted to how much reiatsu Elke carries overall.

Also, HSR route is what Elke will be taking, and placed at the App title.



Primera

Hell Seethe:

Wind element inserted to have same result to that as water. Also added Elke's body can still be damaged through shockwaves, etc.


Salt Stakes:

Keeping as is.



Segunda

Stakes:

Stakes have been clarified that only the material that make up the stake themselves is manipulated, and not what they are attached to. They act as a means of a tracker as well since they are made out of Elke's own aura.



Tercera

Seething Presence:

Senses added to the apparition as sharing the same senses as Elke, acting in tangent with her own thoughts, and not as a separate entity.



Cuarta

Hellbound Cat:

Water and Wind techniques added, but with diluted effects to the body. However, retain having full affect as to washing off or blowing away particles if having superior offensive stats.


Salt Acid:

Speed inputted to 1200.



Perversion:

Technique cost has been inputted, 350.

Purging effects also added, including purging for Physical Offensive characters that do not have spiritual superiority.



Tendrils:

Kept as is.



Quinta


Lady of Salt:

Water and Wind element based techniques have been listed retaining their effects, so long as they carry superior offensive stat.

Shockwave, concussive energy, etc, capable of affecting Elke.




Dust:

Now has fixed speed of eruption from Elke's body, being at 800.



Mist:

Technique has a fixed speed of 1000 now.



Particle:

Speed has been implemented, moving normal speeds while only moving at half speed when passing through obstacles.


Added Spiritual based techniques, or techniques that use reiatsu being able to cause harm.



Scar:

Paralysis given a build up effect over 3 posts, with 3rd post taking full effect. Afterwards, the paralysis is removed by itself.





That would be all with the edits, so let me know if anything seems out of place or needing a bit more to it fwue.

[Tsajara Dread]

Excellent! You've addressed everything I've noted as a concern.

Mechanically speaking, your app is fine now. Though at present your ....Overall still doesn't seem to do anything. But if you're fine with that, then you're all set.


The only thing remaining is that you really won't be able to use Stockings as a Face Claim. Akki have to be monsterous and horrible to look at. For some reason.


But yea. HOWEVER. Since this is only your first grader, you still have to go through another mechanical grading. So I'll go ahead and give this a 1/2, so you can get on track with the next grader. You'll just have to resolve that FC thing before you can get youre 2/2.

[Elke Sia]

Alrighty, Overall adjusted to make protective crystals that form along parts of the body. But ready to go for another grading.

[Col Arana]

Alright. Apologies, it took me a bit to get to this, but I'm going to run through this nice and quickly. As TV tackled it before me, I doubt there's much to add, but anyhooo....

As expected of a grading by TV I have no real issues with Elke's powers from a balance perspective. I /do/ however have one concern about the theme of her powers. A Sinner's Powers should generally relate in some way to their Aspect of Hell, and while you make an offhand mention of Sin here and there, I do not really see the connection between Elke's Aspect of Hell and salt powers. If you could make that link a bit clearer, it would be much appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to message me.

[Elke Sia]

Kk, added a small paragraph to help link the reasoning for the powers to the Aspect of Hell. Let me know if needing adjustments.

[Col Arana]

Hmm... Admittedly I'm still leery on the connection you've drawn between Sin and Salt.

That said, I'm not going to make you rewrite your entire ability over this-- what I would instead recommend is changing your Aspect of Hell to something closer, like "Brimstone" (or if you want to stick strictly to the listed ones, possibly Purgatory, and then really play up the purification aspect of salt in your abilities).

[Elke Sia]

Aspect of Hell changed to Brimstone based on the recommendation.

[Col Arana]

2/2
