Thread Title: The Jailer vs the Ever-Dying Participants: Holika, Kitai Yoru World: Human World Death Setting: Damage Permanent Rating: R Location: An old and abandoned Oil Rig, a few miles off of the coast of America. The structure is rusted and decaying more and more every day, and even in its old age, is still serviceable. The structure back in its day likely could have had well over a thousand people working on it at once. The main platform is box-like in form, with a smaller, secondary platform off to its side for helicopters. Special Conditions: None. Circumstances: Kitai is looking for a good ocean property for a very special event he wants to set up, away from the prying eyes of the humans and regular people of Earth. This list may or may not include the Shinigami.
Holika, freshly minted as one of the four leaders of the Sanctus, seeks to lay down the law against someone who had previously given Orobas a difficult time, back in the days of the Envinar.

A certain man strolled around the massive structure of concrete and metal, admiring the monolith to oil and capitalism. The Lunatic gave a low whistle and a hearty chuckle at the sights around him. "My my~! This place is huge! HAhahaha!" He said to no one, as his steps echoed across the platform. The oil rig was miles away from civilization, and likely would be outside the range of the prying eyes of any government, and more importantly, the shinigami. It was shaping up to be perfect for his needs.
Kitai, finding a budding interest in exploration all of a sudden, took his time looking through every nook and cranny of this place. He found sixty year old beer cans, various different living quarters, bunks, kitchens, showers, tons of interesting things that most people never got to enjoy the sights of. It sort of made him giddy, in a mundane sort of way. This place was older than himself, and was a testament of human engineering. It was like looking back at a piece of history; a piece of history that was all his to enjoy. It put a smile on his face.
As he strolled on through the labyrinth of metal, he found a place that hung under the main platform, a catwalk that gave him a gorgeous view of the ocean. Sure, there was only ocean to look at on his place, but with the shade above him, salty ocean breeze brushing against his face, and a conveniently placed bar to lean against, he couldn't help but stare out into the distance. He let out a content sigh, as he gazed upon the beautiful blue ocean. For all the power he had, he didn't often get to see the ocean. Didn't usually get to see something this beautiful... ever.
Hell was a place of anti-beauty. It had the uncanny ability to twist and warp anything and everything into a twisted parody of what it used to be, before releasing it unto the world to corrupt it with its taint. The evil was never ending. The content smile that had graced his features before, silently fell from his face. That had soured his mood a bit. He let out a withering sigh, and started making his way back to the top of the platform. He could have used air ground to maneuver his way topside, but he figured a second look at the bowels of this place might better his mood.
Sadly to say, a second time around did nothing to elevate his stormy disposition. He knew that this place wouldn't be standing for much longer after this. He knew what he had to do to get Hell to back off, and this was the perfect place to try it. His life would be at risk, he knew that. He knew that, and still was willing to try this insane and asinine mission he had set out to accomplish. The sun was high in the sky, and he checked the watch on his wrist. Barely past noon. He looked at his other wrist. On his right hand was a steely gauntlet, claws tipped on each of his fingers. He briefly wondered if this would even work on that thing, but he hoped it would. He turned to the little area he set up earlier. A chair dragged up from the kitchen, with a small table to lean against. He walked over to have some much needed lunch.
{Dark Skill Body}Dark Skill Level 1 Property:] [The first stage of his release allows him to create gigai-like bodies for him to enter and use as he sees fit. In order to create a body, Kitai must spend 25% of his current reiatsu, but must spend at least 250 in order to use the technique. The strength and durability of the bodies is based off the amount of reiatsu Kitai has used during the thread. For every 100 reiatsu Kitai has used in the thread, it will increase the strength, speed, and durability by 10. Each body comes with a 300 to start in all three of these stats. If the user has physical stats higher than the base 300, their starting physical stat or stats will be changed to that higher number. The highest the physical stats the body can have 1000.
The strength of the body is a sort of false one. While the bodies themselves are strong, it is merely a tool, not truly living so to speak. While a real body would be able to handle such strength and speed, this one cannot. And like all tools, they have a breaking point. Those wearing the body will find themselves unable to use main benefits that high physical stats would normally grant. The benefits of having high strength are forever lost to the user, unless they already had them before putting on the Gigai.
Much like a tool, once the body uses too much power, it begins to quickly wear out. The max output a body can use varies on the user. The bodies are based on the user, and thus match their max potential, even if the bodies themselves should be stronger. A user with 50 strength or speed, can only ever make the bodies reach 150 strength or speed. If someone had 400 in strength or speed, they would be able to bring out the full potential of the bodies, and reach 1000 in either stat.
However, like any machine, running at full power causes a reaction in the bodies. The body, and by extension the user, have no issues with stamina of any kind after this point, never running out after it breaks its limits for the first five post, using a sort of Hysterical Strength to force itself to keep going. After the five posts will drain stamina like normal. Normally a body can last indefinitely, but for every post the user pushes their physical stats past their limits no further than double their base stats, it drains a post, while over that pushes it by two posts. The body has ten of these posts before it dies, ejecting the user of it from the maimed corpse. Hitting 1000 in either stat will cost the bodies two posts, regardless of the the user's base stats.
The creation of the body is instant, forming around Kitai if he so chooses, or in his hand. Bodies can be exited at any time the wearer pleases. The only oddities that make the body stand out from normal humans is that the first stage of a Dark Skill will still shine through, and the chains on their soul will still appear on the new body, but otherwise, the body will be have an appearance of whatever Kitai wishes it to look like. Size of the bodies follows the strength rules for sizes.
So long as the body is worn, Hell has a much harder time finding him. For every three posts that a Saika is in the body, the count on the duration of his escape will go down by one for every three posts they make. Can start a thread with a body for an additional 500 reiatsu of the base cost, without activating his dark skill. Any damage the body takes is not fully transferred to him. Damage is reduced by fifty percent, and attacks that would kill the body will eject the soul before it can be damaged too much. Fatal damage done to the body will be reduced to the point of just barely avoiding death. The body cannot heal via the normal Saika regeneration, but his soul underneath is still able to. The healing done to the soul will not transfer to the body. Once he exits a body, the stats will be reset to how it was before he entered the body. After a body is destroyed or dies, it goes onto a three post cooldown before he can create another one. This does not count as a stat boosting technique. If a body is healed, Kitai will not be healed.
As Holika arrived in the Human world, the existence of a bright blue sky above her, her melted skin seemed to shine against the light as if it were a plastic melted against her skeleton. Her gaunt face and demonic looking eyes, the black pupils looking like an x crossing in each eye, stared at the sun shining down on her as she smiled slightly to herself. The fires enticed her, making her wish to step further towards the sky as she floated in the air. The call of the ultimate source of heat and fire singing it's praise across the world from high above her, at noon. Not it's hottest point but certainly it's most glorious. But she had more important things to attend to.
She allowed herself to lower from the sky, slowly edging towards the giant metallic structure the humans had built in order to suck the life blood of oil from the ocean’s depths of which she found quite interesting. Who knew that such sweet things were hidden beneath the cold depths, a liquid which would fuel fire in such spectacular ways? It was truly a marveling idea for Holika to find in this day and age and now she had the opportunity to look upon such an ingenious invention with her own eyes.
As Holika stepped onto the metallic structure, her two swords clung to her back against the metallic skirt of chainmail she wore, the front and back ends dragging against the cement flooring that had been made as a roof to this miraculous thing the humans made. The swords looked as if like falchions and on her back was what looked like a sealed zanpakutou on her back, held to her by string between her bosoms, which were also hidden beneath thick chainmail.
As her thin body stood in the light of day, looking as if a melted skeleton with thin plastic stretched tight against it, Holika cleared her throat and swept a hand behind her flowing yet frazzled red hair, sweeping it up and further from the briny air beneath her and scoffed in disgust. To be out at sea, the biggest and coldest blot on the Earth that she detested was something that Holika did not wish to continue for very long. This activity was however necessary as she knew that her quarry would not be far from here, having received a tip from some unfortunate Hellion that refused to part his lips. Until she pulled out her toys that is.
“Reveal yourself, KITAI!!!!” Holika called out with all her strength, letting her spiritual energy flare out so that anyone within a reasonable distance would feel her presence with clarity. It was no use for him to try running now, as she had an idea of where he might be and there was not much out here to hide in. If need be, she’d simply crush the building beneath her, but that wasn’t her style. She wished to face her opponent face to face and drag him down to Hell fairly. If he could win, of course she’d let him shirk his punishment, for now that is. But she needed to know if he really deserved such leniency.
Interrogation (4) - You are able to interrogate people. A 1 means you can usually get enough information to make educated guesses. A 2 means you can gather even more information, but they won't tell you everything. A 3 means they will likely tell you almost every detail. A 4 means they will tell you everything you need to know provided you have at least a 1 in Charisma/Leadership.
Mental Incantation (3) - It allows the user to cast Kidō with mental incantations rather than vocal. A 1 means they can cast the Kidō wordlessly. A 2 means they can cast Kidō wordlessly and say its incantation mentally for increased effectiveness. A 3 means they can wordlessly cast Kidō and vocally say the incantation afterwards to increase its strength in mid-combat. They can also speak two incantations simultaneously by weaving them together to release two Kidō like the Nijū Eishō style. A 4 means they can do everything mentioned before, but now they can mentally weave two incantations together rather than speak it.
Charisma/Leadership (3) - You are good at leading and getting people to like you by using your boundless energy. You can inspire others and gain their trust. The more points you have, the wider a range of people you can affect. A 4 means you can even convince evil people or those of other factions to join you without much of an issue.
Weapons (Chains) (3) - Most weapon-related non-Release techniques may require a certain Skill Point amount, as well as different fighting styles. A 1 would mean you can use them adequately, as if you've been training for a year or so. A 2 means you've trained for about five years. A 3 means you've achieved a great mastery and have been training for decades. A 4 means you can do almost impossible movements with your weapons with great success.
With a comfortable sigh, Kitai sat in the decrepit chair, still sturdy enough to hold his weight, and was about to pull out his lunch, when a heavy curtain of reiatsu was dropped on Kitai's head, followed by someone yelling at him. "I JUST SAT DOWN!" He yelled back in irritation. He turned to face the source of the voice, and was unamused at the owner of it. A monster who was ugly enough to make children run away in fright, and could grown men shriek in terror, she stood out against the blacktop of the oil rig, as well as against the cloudless blue skies.
He was maybe sixty feet away from the abomination, but even from that distance, he could tell that this wasn't some sort of deformed hollow. Aside from the fact that she knew his name, he spotted what he could only assume to be chains wrapped around her skeletal wrists. "Filthy fucking Akki..." He muttered under his breath. Kitai had nothing but distain for Akki, the 'oh so special' monsters of Hell gallivanting around Hell like they owned the place, able to come and go however they pleased. Meanwhile Saika like him were forced to return if they ever managed to break out.
He turned the chair to face her, scrapping it loudly against the blacktop, as he faced her. Chains unraveled themselves from around Kitai's wrists, as they fell from his sleeves, curling on the ground beneath the Lunatic. He wondered who this could have possibly been, since it had been awhile since his fight with Orobas, and the Envinar Leader didn't seem concerned with him not being in Hell. Jeff didn't have enough standing in Hell to order anyone around, let alone some jackass Akki. Was this another bounty hunter like that Pricilla woman? He'd liked to have said the possibilities were endless, but they weren't.
This disfigured arrancar reject was clearly here to confront him about something, and the chances of that being peaceful were laughably low. With a jerking motion, he got to his feet, standing at his full seven foot height, before strolling towards the Akki. "Hehehehe, well hello, you festering pile of excrement! To whom do I owe this unwelcome intrusion to my day? Is it Orobas? Please tell me it was Orobas." The smile that was spread across his face was just a little too wide, had just a little too many teeth, had just a little too much malice to it. His voice was sickly sweet, and the rattling his chains made as they trailed behind him just added to just how creepy it sounded.
Kitai would continue forward until he was standing roughly ten feet from the monstrous Holika, whether she made any move to approach him or not. He didn't want to be close to an Akki, but having one be within striking distance was almost worth the assault on his nostrils. Sulfur was quite the unpleasant smell on the best of days, and this particular Akki radiated the sent of burning flesh and brimstone like it was going out of fashion. Luckily the salty breeze lowered the choking hazard the scent of Hell presented. She had to have plopped out of a portal, or it wouldn't have been this bad.

"Kitai, the Saika who has managed to escape Hell for so very long.... Filthy creatures like you think you deserve to escape your punishments?" Holika's eyes seemed to burn as she spoke, pulling her twin blades from behind her back, letting them sing against their chain holders that clung to her hips. As the metallic ringing ended she grinned slightly, turning quickly into a sneer. "I give you two options. You can either return to Hell now, tail tucked between your legs like the Saika you are, and you will receive the adequate punishment you deserve. Or you can resist. Fight me here and suffer the anguish of a defeat before I drag you down to my domain and put you in the deepest, darkest pit I have. The punishments I'll perform on you there... mmmm.... And you will suffer such pain, humiliation, and anguish that you will only dream of ever coming back to this plane of existence." As Holika spoke, her forked tongue flicked from between her lips, licking the edges of her teeth and along her lips before it slipped back into her mouth and she bit her lower lips with her upper jaw's teeth.
"I am Holika, Legatus of Custos. As such, I have been given an important task. I am to maintain and innovate the punishment and confinement of the Damned in Hell. And do you know who's name is at the top of my list of those who deserve punishment and shirk it? You... You, the sneakiest and most revolting Saika I have ever heard of. The thought...." As she spoke, her wings pulled against her body, twitching and stretching from her flesh as their bony ends splayed in the sunlight. Her aggression was obviously building as she spoke. The humiliation of this mark of shame, failing at her job when she had such power at her beck and call. It was far too much to bear for anyone, let alone a Saika. She gripped the handles of her blade but did not attack, despite her obvious current advantage, situational and power wise.
Attacking right now wasn't something that she would interested in as this was not her way of fighting. It wasn't her style as it was far to sneaky, cloak and dagger attacks being so far beneath Holika. To fight against someone in a head to head moment was more her style as both a warrior and a leader. And there was a further reason behind Holika's current position, refusing to be the first to strike. She knew this saika, Kitai, would refuse her offer and throw away the deal she offered to him. She wanted him to be a small flame fighting against a raging inferno that she represented. The humiliation this would pile on him was more than she could endure in her mind as it flitted across thoughts of the punishments she would give him and the others she would invent along the way to his ultimate degradation.
As the Euphoria in her mind ended, her fingers twitching on the handles of her blade she stared Kitai down, watching him closely while waiting for his response. "So Kitai, which would yo prefer?" She almost sounded sing songy as she sneered at him, all of her thoughts and emotions focused on him currently. It didn't need to be said that Kitai was certainly in a dangerous predicament with Holika wanting to hunt them down. But now that she was excited for the fight before his damned soul could be brought to Hell, it was most likely that all of Holika was going into this fight if for no other reason than to hurt Kitai that much more.

Kitai could feel his eye twitching at the words this harlot was spewing from her lipless mouth. His smile grew ever more brittle with every syllable uttered. His teeth were grinding against on another, and he could swear he could feel a blood vessel pop in his head. The audacity of this utter bitch. He could hardly believe his ears. If nothing else, she was reinforcing any and every reason that he had to hate Akki. Now no one could call him out on an irrational hatred for all Akki kind. The raw contempt she put in her words for him left him dumbfounded.
Holika. Her name was Holika. He managed to pick that up from the overwhelming sound of blood rushing in his ears. Apparently she was 'Legatus of Custos', whatever the fuck that meant. He was only vaguely aware of the Envinar, and hadn't the slightest idea of what a Legatus was. The Envinar were a group lead by the Sonken guy in Hueco Mundo, and generally didn't give a rats... well, they didn't care about what other Hellions did. He would have to grill Jeff for information later on what this 'Legatus' was, because clearly things were changing significantly down in the pit.
But in order to do that... His grin stretched wider, nearly splitting his face, as a look of insanity started to overcome him. Slowly, he took off his eyepatch. "Hehe... Hehahahaha! Oh my! Apparently my reputation proceeds me! It seems many people down in Hell know of my antics. And yet..." His eyewear was shoved into a pocket. A red glow could be seen from behind his hair. "I've never heard of you, or your little group..." His Darkskill was activated, at the same time as a black fog started spilling out of his chest. "HAHAHAHAHAHA! AN NO ONE EVER WILL AFTER I'M THROUGH WITH YOU!"
An orb of reiatsu formed in his hand, an orb of ten thousand reiatsu. An orb that was equal to the entirety of Holika's reiatsu reserves. "AHAHAHAHAAHA! FALL TO THE BLACK FOG OF THE ABYSS!" He yelled out, as the mist that had spread out at his feet began to burst and bulge at the seams, before exploding in a flurry of bodies. Ten winged beasts surged out. Ten beasts with that looked exactly like Orobas when Kitai fought them, with the addition of insect wings on their backs, and being forty feet in height. These monsters were all gunning for the Akki before them, willing to do anything to get their massive hands around the skeletal woman.
Kitai laughed as the abominations charged her, as he slipped the orb of reiatsu into a small portal to Hell. These beasts possessed a strength and durability of 800, more than enough to tear apart most beings in an instant. Their speed was nothing to scoff at either, boasting a frightening 400. With this combination, as well as the amount of them, even Kitai would struggle to handle them all. The mad Saika would be satisfied watching them rip the harlot limb from bloody limb. If that was how it played out, then oh well. He wouldn't get to take his frustrations out on the poser. If she survived, which he was positive that she would, then he would take great pleasure showing her exactly why no one has come to take him back to Hell by force.

{Techniques Used}Technique Name: [The Black Fog] Mastered
Class: [1]
Technique Type: [Hell Techniques]
Usable By: [Hell Races]
Technique Element: [Shadow]
Technique Fluff: [Those who fear the darkness are wise. Evil in its most primal form thrives in the shadows, always on the edge of the light. But while it is rare when the shadows of the underworld touch the land of the living, the results are always spoken of for generations. The Black Fog is an ability generated by those who have seen the proverbial void, and gazed into it. These people are those with hearts blacker than most, and live in perpetual chaos, misery, and hate. Those who use this technique are often those who have given up on life, and have let themselves fall into despair, or have done so at least once in their existence. This ability was made to show that, no matter how much hope there is the world, and no matter how happy the world becomes, evil will never leave the hearts of mankind, and will always linger. The darkest shadows linger behind the brightest lights.
The Black Fog is generated from the soul of the user, spilling from their chests, completely enshrouding their lower bodies in a mist of darkness at all times. From there, the fog begins to spread over the ground, seemingly consuming it, with the top of it lingering three feet above it. The Black Fog is thick to the point where no light can ever pierce it, consuming it in its entirety. The mist does more than feed off the light however. The shadows absorb all forms of energy that come into contact with it, be it heat, light, or reiatsu. Especially reiatsu.
The air above the fog is quickly drained of any lingering reiatsu, preventing anyone from creating airground platforms of any kind, as well as preventing any stepping abilities. However, those who stand in the blackened air start to suffer from the effects of this immediately. The moment anyone comes into contact with it will quickly lose their power, before fading away beneath the darkness, never to be seen again.
But this isn't what makes this ability so feared, although that is a part of it. The darkness is a sponge for souls, but it doesn't let that energy go to waste. Once it has absorbed enough souls, this ability starts to create monsters. Often titanic beings of pure hate and rage emerge from the shadows, climbing out of the nothing, existing for only destruction. The monsters can take on many forms, ranging from ogers, wolves, or even the well known dragon. These creatures stand anywhere from seven feet in height, to a towering fifty.
The being are extremely durable as well, needing the strongest of champions to slay them. The Black Fog naturally doesn't harm them, and are immune to the effects of it. No matter their shape, these creatures are only as smart as an animal, beatial in thought, maybe as smart as a lion.
All the air above the mist is stripped of reiatsu, no matter the distance. Any ability that touches the fog is absorbed, so long as the offensive stat is lower than the user's, adding the reiatsu used for the ability to the reiatsu counter.]
Technique Effects:
A Black mist spills out of the user's chest, quickly covering the ground around them, hovering two feet off the lowest surface. The Mist spreads five feet per post, times how many posts it has been active. 1 post equals five feet, 2 is ten, 3 fifteen, and so on. The air above the Black Fog cannot be used for any form of airground above it. Anyone in the fog loses 250 reiatsu per post, and loses the same amount just by touching it. Non- spiritual humans, plants, and animals die instantly when they come into contact with the fog.
Any techs used while inside the fog will charge the fog by half the amount paid for the original tech. Once the fog has collected 500 reiatsu, the user can summon a creature of the writer's choice to attack or cause general chaos. The user is also able to wait, and have the fog store its reiatsu in order to summon multiple beasts at once. The creature does not obey the caster, nor is it affected by the draining effects of the fog.
The stats of the creatures are always 800 strength, 400 speed, and 150 in all sensory stats, with 800 durability. The user is able to pay 500 in order to charge the mist. The Cost to maintain is 100 reiatsu, and is used to charge the fog. Fog lasts three posts after the user stops paying for it, and is unable to summon beasts after they stop.
How to use technique: [Mentioned above]
Technique Drawbacks: [The Black Fog, cannot be thrown around like a weapon, and will only remain on the ground, and around the user's lower body. Kicking with the fog around their legs will not drain opponents of reiatsu. The user is not immune to the draining effects of the fog, and is drained every post. Monsters will not obey anything the caster of the Fog commands of them.]
Incantation and Effect:
Made By: [Kitai Yoru]
Reserved?: [No]
Technique Name: [Faustian Bargain] Learned
Class: [1]
Technique Type: [Saika Technique]
Usable By: [Saika]
Technique Element: [Reiatsu, if any]
Technique Description and Effects: [The Faustian Bargain is a technique born out of desperation for the Saika. The user pays any amount of reiatsu they wish, concentrating it into a super dense ball of reiatsu. This ball is then sucked into a small portal to Hell to grow. For every post it is in Hell, the ball absorbs reiatsu, equal to 25% of what it was initially sent in with. At any point, the user can draw the ball out of Hell, and consume the reiatsu to add the reiatsu back to their reserves. For example, if the user were to send 1000 reiatsu into Hell, and waited four posts, it would come back with 2000, and they would gain that to their reiatsu pool.]
How to use technique: [Stated above.]
Technique Drawbacks: [This ability is directly messing with Hell, a very bad thing for any Saika. As such, for every post that the ball of Reiatsu is in Hell, the Saika loses an extra post out of Hell. This means if the ball was in Hell for four posts, they would lose four extra posts, on top of their normal out of Hell count.]
As Holika stood, watching Kitai brag about his fame, or rather infamy, in Hell, she gritted her teeth in her sneer. He’d certainly fallen for the honey pot of hate and fury and tasted it’s sweet release by feeling superior. Although, he would certainly, and quite quickly, learn the truth of the matter at hand that he had stumbled into by accepting the fight. When he finished and began his attack, Holika simply stared him down for the one moment before she was engulfed in flames, staining the metal of her chainmail garments to a stark black as she reveals her form from within the flame, as well as the darkening black of her skin. It has transformed noticeably with ease into the structure of a rocky basalt, having edge and bumps that look too unnatural to be skin of flesh.
Holika’s wings have also expanded to thirty feet in wingspan, having grown hundreds of metallic feathers that burn red hot, shimmering the air around them with waves of heat coming off each individual feather. Her body becomes thicker, no longer looking bone thin as she transforms into her Segunda form and becoming like that of an average person while the prongs sticking out of her neck have become stark black and grown in length, pushing out to look like a necklace that points upwards on both sides of her head. Chains are created around Holika's body, covering everything that is not covered by her chainmail garments and blackened to the same stark, soulless black as those that entangle damned soul in Hell. The chainmail covering her body, becoming blackened, clings a little tighter to her body as she becomes fuller in body type as well.
In the cracks that have grown in her basalt skin, there is a magma that pulsates and glows with deep red heat beneath her skin, shifting inside of her but not spilling from within her. And the swords within Holika’s grasp melt in her hands, spilling to the ground and becoming chains that are thirty feet in length each, the links being soullessly black, mirroring the chains that entrap the damned in Hell. And as she finishes her transformation, her taloned feet stepping once forward as her fiery aura encapsulates ten feet around her in searing pain for those that enter it, she would flick her wrists and summon blue flames along her whips. As they ignited, the chain links would become white hot in appearance and burn the cement with black scorch marks as the chains touched it. She would then spend a second, flicking the chains again and let them grow an additional 25 feet in length, becoming a total of 55 feet in length and slicing into the cement with ease as they landed against the ground after the flick of her wrists.
As Holika then launched forward, her body seeming to burn hotter with even more fire in her soul, she would ignore the ten beasts coming at her, focusing on Kitai and grinning wildly with enjoyment and excitement. If the beasts got within ten feet of Holika, they would recoil and shriek in pain, running from her body and not entering within her ten feet range for more than a second based on pure instinct to avoid the pain. And with them clearing the way, she would charge into Kitai’s black fog, letting it burn against her Burning Body, the Black Fog being held before reaching her body and burning to nothing but ashes and smoke, not allowing it to absorb any of her spiritual energy before it dissipates around her.
“You know, out fairness to you, I’ll still accept your unconditional surrender, worm!” Holika roared as she swung her right chain forward, it swinging through the air at a blazing 600 speed, blindingly fast to the average eye, by the force of Holika’s will and thought to slice directly through Kitai’s body, bisecting him at the shoulder level so his arms would be severed from his main body as well as relieving his head from it as well. If she succeeded, the blue flames would spread to the rest of his body, building an appropriate funeral pyre for such a pitiful creature.
Technique Description and Effects: 1: The chains of Hell torment the denizens endlessly, so why not share the misery? Learning this ability influences the blades, giving them the ability to cut through anything as easily as a normal spiritual blade can, regardless of the chains not changing in appearance, still as rounded as ever. The offensive stat for the chains is based off either the highest Spiritual stat, or the user's Strength stat, whichever is higher. Chains are unable to cut their owner. This is a passive ability, and is unable to be turned off.
2: Through some heavy handed use of reiatsu, the user can extend and manipulate the chains to do as they please. For strength users, the chains will extend upto thirty feet, and will move at either a speed equal to their speed stat, or at a speed of 600. For spiritual users, the size scales off of their highest spiritual stat. For every 50 they have in their higher stat, the chains can extend another foot, and can move at either 600, or the user's speed. Cost is 100 reiatsu every post.]

Technique Name: Burning Body Technique Type: [Body] Usable By: Hell Technique Element: Fire
Technique Description and Effects: Holika’s body becomes immune to flames of lesser beings, having become a source of Hellfire incarnate. At Primera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 50% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Segunda she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 75% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Trecera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Cuartra her body immolates all non water-based techniques that do not exceed 125% of her highest Spiritual stat. She also becomes immune to all Hellfire-based attacks that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika can be harmed if the OS of a character using any technique exceeds the aforementioned limits at the appropriate stage of release. This includes a fire based technique.
When a non-water based technique meets the above requirements, the heat from her body surrounded the target technique. Her bodily heat then produces flames around the technique, burning it to a crisp and stopping it's motion, keeping it from touching her body. The flames then expunge the technique from existence, burning it to nothing but ashes that fall to the ground after the immolation has been completed. How to use technique: This technique is automatically activated upon release and costs 50 reiatsu per post.
Technique Drawbacks: When activated, Holika takes damage from Ice and Water based attacks, taking the damage as if it is an additional 50% of OS damage.
Technique Description and Effects: Holika’s weapons become covered in red flames, making the metal glow red while engulfed in the fires surrounding them. At the first stage the flames are no more than ordinary flames, causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 2 the flames are hotter than ordinary flames, becoming blue and causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 3 Holika’s flames become nearly invisible white flames around her weapons, still afflicting those that come into contact with them, however they cannot be seen on the weapons except by those who have techniques to view spiritual aura or those with energy sensory of at least 200.
At stage 4 the flames are made of her Hellfire, causing similar damage as her aura for as long as they are touching the skin of those with a lower RS than her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika’s weapons also change, becoming covered in black Hellfire flames, leaving the weapons seemingly untouched with the exception of the black and purple flames surrounding them. Those with a higher or equal RS than her highest Spiritual Stat would simply receive damage as if they were normal flames.
At all stages these flames may spread from her weapons and set either the target or the environment on fire. This does not include anything that is non-flammable or water based. The flames will continue to spread five feet per post when the environment is set on fire and the flames are not doused. The damage added to her weapons hitting a target is based on Holika's highest Spiritual Stat.
How to use technique: Paying 100 reiatsu at form 1, with each form adding to the cost by 50 reiatsu per weapon. As she increases in form she only pays the difference between forms to keep weapons that are already alight lit.
Technique Drawbacks: The cost of this technique is 100 reiatsu per weapon at base form with an increase of 50 reiatsu per level of her forms. The flames on her weapons can be dosed with water at stages one through three and at the fourth form water and wind based reiatsu attacks may put out the flames. SP Pool: 9,650

For once, the beasts of the Black Fog were powerless to attack the one standing before them. The Skeletal woman stood with an aura of flame, triggering a primal instinct in even the most mindless of beasts. As they each got close to the woman, they flinched once they so much as brushed against the aura that shrouded her ghastly form. One by one they dodged to the sides to avoid the burning pain that the akki inflicted upon them. It would have been an amusing sight to see, a bunch of Orobas's avoiding one person, were it not for the fact that they were supposed to be killing the sadist, not avoiding her.
The transformation of the Akki was large, to say the least. She didn't grow in stature, but her wingspan grew to a size larger than his beasts, and she took on a lava-like appearance, mixed with a great amount of metal. Her smell also changed, burning away any sulfur she might have been emanating before. Now, the smell of melting metal and tarmac threatened to overwhelm his senses, as he could visibly see the air around her begin to ripple from the heat. She was, and he was using this in the most literal way, extremely hot. Hot enough to leave her marks on the environment around her, but not outright destroy it.
The Chains of Hell around her wrists extended, growing to lengths that he'd only ever seen reached by himself, and that was when he had a slight boost to his power. If he had to estimate, hers were roughly fifty percent larger than his own. His eyes widened in shock, as the flaming metal struck down upon him. Like a bolt of lightning, the chains moved down, impacting him and slamming him into the ground. He was sure that, were he watching this fight from a distance, the movements of the flaming chains would have been quite the spectacle to behold.
But he wasn't watching this fight from a distance. He was living it. And he had to say, that hurt. Kitai had never been a fan of fire back when he was alive, and without a shadow of a doubt, his opinions hadn't changed. Not in the slightest. The chains, while they were longer than his own, clearly lacked the power than his own had. His body hadn't broken from the force of the attack. Sure, the attack had come close, but it had withstood the beating she had delivered. It pinned him to the ground, however, having more than enough strength to keep him from getting back up.
Her aura of flame however... It was nowhere near hot enough to hinder or move his Black Fog. Her flames were powerful, but not yet enough to dismiss the fog. Were it a measure of power power, Holika's Burning Body would be more than enough to destroy the fog outright. As it stands, however, the quality of the fog was great enough to stave off the total destruction that it would normally suffer. Holika, because her Burning Body wasn't powerful enough, is still stripped of 250 reiatsu for attempting to pass through it. That wasn't the worst thing for the Akki, however.
The monster was gloating. She was gloating to him. Anger was an emotion well known to the Saika. It was an emotion that he utilized well. An aura wrapped around his own form, a brilliant and hateful red, much like Holika's. "Wrath." He spoke out, his words holding a biting anger to them. Her attack slammed into him, pressing him further into the ground, but not breaching his aura of hate. He released two of his own Bladed Chains, one constricting around the chains that attempted to behead him like a guillotine, and the other chain to wrap around the one pinning him down. His gloved hand grabs her chain.
"SUPHA!"
The Black Market item glowed an angry red, as its effects spread to Holika's chains. This was not a kind power, as were most items that accursed market produced. A strange feeling would overcome the Akki. Her powers would feel... as if they were slipping through her grasp. The Burning Body around her would start to feel... painful. Her Saisei Oni was no longer in her control. The same pain she had inflicted against the fog beasts, she would feel as well. Her powers were being used against her. Every ability her Saisei Oni provided to her would start to activate simultaneously onto herself. And she was no longer immune to any of it.

{Mark of Sin Wrath and S.U.P.E.R.}Technique Name: [Mark of Sin: Wrath] Mastered
Class: [2]
Technique Type: [General Sinner techniques]
Usable By: [Hell Races]
Technique Element: [Physical]
Technique Description and Effects: [Being stuck in the bad end of the afterlife tends to bring out of some of the more negative aspects of the soul. One of seven that can be concentrated and brought forth in a physical form. This manifests as a mark on the body. For Wrath, this mark is branded on the inside of the right forearm. When activated, the user gives into their rage and anger, showing their hate for the world. Their bodies burn with a power they normally wouldn't be able to muster up. Anything that comes into contact with their bodies at this time will be damaged and burnt from the raw power they're letting off. Even brief interactions with the user in this state can melt skin. Lasts two posts.
Their body burns with the power of their original highest offensive stat, destroying anything with less than three quarters of it, and blocking anything above that. Attacks with a higher offensive stat will be undamaged.]
How to use technique: [User gives into their emotion, becoming the embodiment of Wrath, losing the ability to strategize. Costs 250 reiatsu.]
Technique Drawbacks: [The user must give into their emotion in order to use this ability, severely limiting their ability to think coherently, let alone form strategies. They can still use abilities, but not in any tactical way. After the ability ends, the user is left fatigued, their body not able to maintain full power afterward. Physicals are halved. Cooldown, 5 posts.]

Reserved?: [Yes]
Description: S.U.P.E.R. can take the form of any melee weapon. It will be made of spiritual steel and the specific design is customizable. The user determines its exact appearance. Class: 1 Item Type: Weapon Item Power (IP): 1050 Offense Type: Physical + Spiritual Durability: 2x IP Bonuses: Anytime it makes contact with the manifestation of a release (ex. Released zanpakuto, a bount’s doll, the released fullbring), it has a very peculiar effect on the release. It will cause an uncontrollable activation of their release ability. If the release creates fire, for example, their release weapon will keep generating flames as quickly as it can. However, there’s a second part to S.U.P.E.R. It also negates the target’s invulnerability to their own release, making it truly dangerous to encounter. This effect lasts for 2 of the target’s posts after contact is made.
Drawbacks: The wielder must pay 300 reiatsu upon making contact with the release to use its cost. It must make contact with the main release form (ex. the physical zanpakuto), not a product of that release (ex. not the flames produced by the zanpakuto). Cost: 12,000 ryo + 2,000/Class

As Holika felt the black fog actually slip passed her defenses she hissed, sucking the air between her teeth as she felt the power sapped from her body as it collided with the black mist that was pouring from Kitai’s body. Such a vulgar and insidious power touching her skin made her furious beyond measure. ‘You want to truly be punished then….’ She thought as her chains collided with Kitai’s body, her strength pouring into her attacking him. But as the thought fell through her mind she noticed that Kitai did not truly seem all that worried about his predicament. She also noticed his use of the word wrath as an aura over took him and covered him in red. And as his gloved hand grabbed for her chain she flickered from existence, flying back fifty feet as she growled out “You dare use a mark of Hell in my presence? An escapee like you?! You will truly suffer now!”
She flashed from existence, a white hot flare in the sky around her as she both disappeared and reappeared before speaking. But as she reappeared, she took on her final form as the Mistress of Hell. She had, adorned upon her head, a circlet crown of white hot metal pressed against her black rock skin, thorns along the circlet that also pressed into the rocky flesh, which has at this stage also smoothed out and seems to have a polished finish. Her red fiery hair reached down to her ankles, flying about as her wings flayed out at their full wingspan of forty feet and began to beat against the air around her. The feathers of her wings were still white hot but had a tinge of purple at their edges. The cracks in her skin now show the magma as being purple and glowing with an iridescent hue as well as her eyes having the same effect. Her talons are now as black as night, matching the skin of the feet they come from and her fingernails have grown from her hands to three inches and slim to needle points at their ends. When she fully emerges from her teleportation, the screams of the damned spilling from the void for a moment, she brings back her chains around her arms and keeping them close to her.
When Holika has finished emerging she looks to the beasts around her and yells to them, “Serve me!” She invokes her will upon them, her spiritual pressure reaching out and reminding them of the pain she brought to them when they came to close to the fire of her body. “Attack your creator and bring me his flesh!” Holika’s right hand would lift from her side and point at Kitai’s face as he still lay upon the ground, showing the beasts their prey that she intended for them. She used her Charisma and the command of her voice she usually used while interrogating her foes to further subjugate the beasts of the black fog. As the beasts followed her orders she began to ascend into the air, using her wings to bring her farther up into the air as she began to focus energy into both of her hands.
As she finished focusing the energy, the sparks glowing in the palms of her hands, twenty in total and ten to a hand before being deposited into the chains wrapped around each of her arms. She deposits the spark by laying her hands on the chains and moving her hands down her arms, pulling them across the front of her body and uncoiling them from around her stomach area until the sparks are fully in the length of her chains. When she finishes this movement she then swings her right arm like a punch in the air at Kitai’s direction, launching the sparks from the chain wrapped around her right arm and slinging them at 900 speed toward his body. Three are aimed directly for his stomach while the other seven move to land around him. Two land, from his current position, ten feet to his north. Three land twenty feet to his East. Finally, another two land twenty feet to his West. Holika then throws a second jab with her left arm, slinging another ten directly above Kitai’s body, aiming for all of them to land sparsely between twenty to five feet to Kitai’s South as Holika is currently fifty feet North of Kitai’s position and thus these would land behind Kitai. This would also mean that if Kitai were to dodge the first set by trying to jump over them, he would be hit by the second set of sparks from Holika’s spark waves.
If these sparks embedded within Kitai’s body, they would glow an eerie purple, much like Holika’s magma coming from between her cracked skin and that of her Hell fire as well. As Holika set her assault into motion, she grinned quite evilly, expecting Kitai to fall into his doom now. She had hardly noticed him say the word ‘Supha’ and it didn’t cross her mind to look for the glowing of his released black market item as she unleashed her attacks upon him. He would now fall, in her opinion, to a hubris at thinking only he could command the power of the beasts he summoned and avoid her attacks.

Technique Name: Burning Body
Technique Type: [Body]
Usable By: Hell
Technique Element: Fire
Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s body becomes immune to flames of lesser beings, having become a source of Hellfire incarnate. At Primera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 50% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Segunda she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 75% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Trecera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat.

Technique Name: Blazing Weapons
Technique Type: [Weapon]
Usable By: Hell
Technique Element: Fire/Hellfire
Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s weapons become covered in red flames, making the metal glow red while engulfed in the fires surrounding them. At the first stage the flames are no more than ordinary flames, causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 2 the flames are hotter than ordinary flames, becoming blue and causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 3 Holika’s flames become nearly invisible white flames around her weapons, still afflicting those that come into contact with them, however they cannot be seen on the weapons except by those who have techniques to view spiritual aura or those with energy sensory of at least 200.
At stage 4 the flames are made of her Hellfire, causing similar damage as her aura for as long as they are touching the skin of those with a lower RS than her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika’s weapons also change, becoming covered in black Hellfire flames, leaving the weapons seemingly untouched with the exception of the black and purple flames surrounding them. Those with a higher or equal RS than her highest Spiritual Stat would simply receive damage as if they were normal flames.
At all stages these flames may spread from her weapons and set either the target or the environment on fire. This does not include anything that is non-flammable or water based. The flames will continue to spread five feet per post when the environment is set on fire and the flames are not doused. The damage added to her weapons hitting a target is based on Holika's highest Spiritual Stat.
How to use technique:
Paying 100 reiatsu at form 1, with each form adding to the cost by 50 reiatsu per weapon. As she increases in form she only pays the difference between forms to keep weapons that are already alight lit.
Technique Drawbacks:
The cost of this technique is 100 reiatsu per weapon at base form with an increase of 50 reiatsu per level of her forms. The flames on her weapons can be dosed with water at stages one through three and at the fourth form water and wind based reiatsu attacks may put out the flames.
Technique Name: [Placidus] (Mastered)
Class: [4]
Technique Type: [Other]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects:
This is the Akki step technique. While Akki can use step techniques from other races, this technique is particularly devastating because it belongs to them. This is the unique Akki ability for stepping.
What this technique does is allow the Akki to phase briefly in and out of their current plain of existence. In other words, they momentarily disappear, blinking out of existence. As they do, a flash of black explodes outwards. Anyone that witnesses them blinking out of existence will suddenly see nothing but blackness for that split second. It is hardly enough to affect the battle, but rather it is theatrical. The Akki, during that brief second, is gone, and cannot be attacked. This is a direct "teleportation," unlike Shunpo or Sonido, which are merely fast movement.
Averagely, this is performed at 15x the user's speed, making it one of the fastest individual steps. It is also known to be able to move forwards within three small steps rather than one. It can also be done for one. If done in three, the same distance is covered in three smaller steps, creating a theatrical flash of black with each appearance and disappearance. Additionally, there is a flash of white light when the Akki reappears and blinks back into existence. Any who witness this flash of light will suddenly see hallucinations of horrible monstrosities and new body features on the Akki in question that uses this technique, and their fear of the individual will increase.
How to use technique:
Like all step techniques, this one requires a simple step as well. It is done for 200 reiatsu per use, which is why most Akki prefer to use the steps of other races. It is an expensive step technique, but is easily one of the most powerful.
Technique Drawbacks
Reiatsu cost.
Made By: [Admin] Technique Name: Hellzone Mines
Technique Type: [Weapon]
Usable By: Hell
Technique Element: Fire/Hellfire
Technique Description and Effects: Holika runs her hand over her weapon, causing small sparks, about three centimeters in diameter, to grow along the weapon’s body and throughout the weapon itself. The shine of the sparks may make them look larger, having an aura that is visible about them and making it difficult to determine it's actual size to those with a high energy sensory, about 100 or above. Holika then may swing this weapon, launching these sparks in the direction she swings. When these sparks, size depending on the stage that Holika is at in her Saisei Oni, these sparks will either embed into an object or being, causing fire to erupt from them at the Trecera level.
At Trecera, the sparks once embedded explode when touched by an object or person. If the sparks are not detonated by this, the sparks last three rounds at which point they will explode regardless of touching a living being or object. The explosion radius is fifteen feet in radial range and causes fire to erupt from the explosion.
At Cuartra these sparks have a dimmed and more purple effective glow and produce a smoldering sound. These sparks will act similarly to the Trecera level and will last just as long until the explosive effect at three posts. The radial range of the explosion and erupting fire however are dissimilar. When these sparks explode they cover an effective radial range of thirty feet and produce Hellfire from them, burning the targets and causing blisters on their body if there are none. If there are already blisters present on their body, the explosion will cause these blisters to open and produce Hellfire on their body. The resulting burning by hellfire activates Holika's overall ability on the targets body with all included effects.
At both stages these sparks travel from Holika’s weapons at 900 speed. The damage of the fire burning a target is based off of Holika's Highest Spiritual Stat when it is Hellfire.
How to use technique: Holika creates the sparks in the palm of her hand and runs them along her weapon of choice, embedding them into the length she chooses. She then swings her weapon in the direction of her choice, throwing the sparks outward via her weapon. Whatever object or person first touches the sparks will become embedded with the spark. The cost for this technique is 150 reiatsu per spark wave generated.
Technique Drawbacks: These sparks do not go off on command. They will remain until touched by an object or person after becoming embedded for three posts. After three posts they will explode. Holika can be damaged by the explosive force but not the fire that is produced. She may only create a maximum of ten sparks per wave. SP Pool: 7,650

She escaped his grasp. The infernal witch managed to escape a fiery death by a hair's breadth with the use of that infuriating teleportation ability that Orobas used to escape his chains. The situation was the same as last time, and Kitai could only grit his teeth in rage. The haze of wrath clouded his mind. It was difficult to think past slaughter. It was difficult to shift his focus towards anything other than lashing out and hurting anything and everything within his field of vision. It was even harder that she vanished in front of him, only to reappear a ways away in the sky. It was infuriating.
It was not, however, impossible. Kitai used his chains to lift himself to his feet, glaring at the woman above him. No longer was she some sort of sentient corpse. Now her form resembled some sort of magma woman, glowing like a hateful volcano. Kitai hated fire. He hated how when he was alive, the sun burned his skin so easily. Now this woman decides to exist as a mini star in the sky, somehow making more heat than the actual sun itself!? Wrath was a potent drug for the mind. It was taking all he had to not to charge up there and try to strike her down. The black silhouette of two wings flashed into existence behind the saika. The second stage of his Darkskill has been activated.
Now that the second, and currently final level of his Darkskill was released, he would have charged after her, but the wretched woman called out to his beasts. The Black Fog Beasts hadn't left after being burned by the witch's burning body. They had been avoiding it, sure, but they were staying at the border of her aura. They were waiting for her to drop her guard, a moment of weakness to exploit, a moment to strike and kill the abomination who dared strike such fear in their hearts. It enraged him to see them cower in fear at anything, let alone this woman. And now, now this harlot commands them to serve her.
And the traitorous beasts dared to listen! They flinched at her words, recoiling as if they had been struck, looking at her with naked fear and apprehension. She ordered them to attack him. She ordered them to betray him! If he had been in his right mind, he might not have felt any sense of betrayal. Kitai had time and time again slew the beasts he had created, knowing that they had been mindless from the beginning. He knew they had no loyalties to anyone, existing only to destroy all within their path. They owed him nothing, be it loyalty or respect. Kitai, was not in his right state of mind.
"TRAITORS!" He called out in an inhuman roar. His body charged forward, moving at a speed of 240. It was practically a crawl when comparison to the beasts, but it didn't have to be especially fast. They were charging him, after all. The first swiped his claw at him. He didn't even bother dodging it, as the flesh evaporated against his Wrath. It shirked pain at the familiar sensation, before his chains swung through its neck. Two more attacked from either side of him. The beasts struck true, and lost their limbs much like the first. They were cut in twain by his chains as well.
Hateful roars came from the Orobas doublegangers. It was cathartic to cut down his former foe so many times. The Lunatic shucked off his body, letting it fall to the ground behind him. A new, fresh body was there to replace it the instant it was fully off his form. His hand swiped through the air, tearing open a small portal to Hell. As his limb exited the gateway to Hell, an orb of reiatsu could be seen in the palm of his hand. It was a hateful red, and it glistened in the midday sun. He pressed the orb to his lips, as he swallowed the sphere of reiatsu whole, with an auditable gulp.
As the remaining beasts charged towards their creator, the Akki swung her arms at the Saika, as if she were punching him from dozens of feet away. Glittering sparks were thrown towards the Lunatic, moving like shooting stars through the sky. It was almost beautiful. Almost. The wave of glittering death that she spread across the battlefield was numerous and far reaching. Kitai was surrounded on all sides by whatever it was these things were. Three impacted against Kitai, but were incinerated by his Wrathful aura. He looked around him. He tried to think of a way around this with a minimal amount of destruction, but he wasn't in the right state of mind for that.
He took a step back, kicking his former body. He activated his Darkskill ability on it, draining a substantial portion of his reiatsu, as well as cutting his Spiritual Pressure stat by a hundred. Kitai then huddled into himself for a moment, as reiatsu charged up in his core, before releasing it. The Lunatic let out another roar in exertion, as a Cutback Assault was unleashed into the world. A shockwave of energy flew off of Kitai's form, throwing his former body into the ocean, as well as hitting the oilrig like a missile strike. The tarmac was thrown everywhere, and would possibly destroy or displace the landmines Holika had created. Said akki would probably be safe from this, as her burning body protected her. The Fog Beasts, however... The moment this touched them, they would explode into a body mist from the cutback.
Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [Cutback]
Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [All Races]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):
Traditional cutback is triggered by a physical strike from a spiritually inferior source. Among those with immense spiritual pressure it is a useful defense. This technique converts that same cutback into an offense. The user gathers all of their spiritual energy at their core before releasing it outward with a burst. An invisible wave bursts outward with a speed and force of 600, pushing back everything in its path. It functions like a larger Martial Discipline: Ken to all those around. The user may choose to spend an additional reiatsu to increase the range of the wave. At its lowest range, the wave will travel 200 meters in every direction. If the user doubles the cost, this range will also double to 400 meters in every direction. But get this. If the cost is TRIPLED, the radius will also triple to a whopping 800 meters.
However, the real effect of the technique only kicks in when the wave makes contact with any individual. If the difference in spiritual pressure between the user and target is great enough, this technique will automatically inflict the same damage they would face had they triggered cutback. This property is what makes Cutback: Assault truly deadly.
How to use technique (How is it activated?): [Insert Below]
Charge reiatsu and release it.
Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc) (Insert Below)
This technique costs 300 reiatsu to use, and it must be mastered before employed in battle. It may only be activated once every 3 posts, and while it’s on cooldown, the user loses access to natural cutback. However, that is hardly the most serious drawback. As this technique causes the sudden output of such a large amount of energy, it puts a heavy strain on the body, worsening all injuries the user suffered prior to activation. When used the first time, if the user has any deep lacerations or stab injuries, they will begin to bleed profusely, giving them 5 posts before they lose consciousness. When used the second time, even if the user only had thin cuts, these will widen and deepen as blood rapidly escapes them, giving the user 5 posts before they pass out from blood loss. After employed a third time, even if the user is completely unharmed, their nose and eyes will begin bleeding. In fact, their internal organs would be struggling to function as the strain of a third Cutback: Assault also caused them hemorrhage. The internal bleeding would cause the user to pass out in 5 posts after activating the technique.

Dark Skill Level 2 Property: There is a difference between creating life, and bringing something back from the dead. The latter is what Kitai's second level allows him to do. No matter what state the corpse is in, no matter how little of the original body he has to work with, Kitai can restore it back to its prime. However, to do so is costly, even for Kitai. In order to bring a being back to life, Kitai must sacrifice a piece of his very soul to resurrect them. This cuts his spiritual pressure stat by 100 for every being he brings back to life, along with 1,000 reiatsu. Bodies brought back to life can use the non-release techniques that they possessed in life, but can only use techniques equal to or lower than the current class of this technique, reiatsu being used from Kitai's reiatsu pool.
Being brought back to life in this manner will have all of their stats when they were alive, and can even have their personalities given the right thread type. Once the shard of Kitai's soul is implanted, the second part of this ability can be used. Because of how mangled and warped his spirit is after countless resurrections in Hell, his soul is very easy for him to manipulate. By paying an additional 200 reiatsu, Kitai can move the remainder of his soul from one body to another instantly, from a distance of 100 meters. If he does this, he possesses the corpse he brought back to life for 3 posts, and re-merges with the soul fragment he used to bring the body back to life. The stats of the body that he possesses drops down, and can only be as high as 3x his own stats. This is not considered a stat boost. This return his stat back to him after two posts. If the vessel is destroyed with the soul fragment inside, it causes him immense pain, before returning to him after 4 posts, along with the stat value. While possessing a body, Kitai can only use the techniques he knows, not the techniques of the body.
The ability to reanimate a body can be used as many times a post as he wants, but doing so repeatedly will seriously damage his soul, cutting down his spiritual pressure. Also, he can only jump from body to body every two posts. Jumping to a body will take away the shard of his soul, and when he next leaves it, the body will die and cannot be brought back to life. In order to use this ability, Kitai must make physical contact with the corpse. It takes two posts for them to fully reanimate. The bodies brought back are fully under Kitai's control, and will do as ordered. Can fully bring a corpse back to life if the body has been under Kitai's control for a total of 5 posts, and by paying another 1000 reiatsu. This will return Kitai's soul fragment back to him, and restore his spiritual pressure stat. Kitai can resurrect the bodies that the first level of his darkskill creates. The bodies have a duration of seven posts before they die. Kitai cannot bring back the same corpse twice. This cannot permanently revive someone in a DE thread consisting of only two people.

As Holika witnessed this monstrosity shuck off his former body as she threw her left jab, she half winced and half wretched at the sight of such a disgusting display of his powers. Obviously Kitai was someone who could create different bodies if they were damaged enough. And as two of her mines were absorbed into the old body, shining still and having three land within the new body and instead of shining purple, being destroyed instead, it was even more obvious that his mark of wrath transferred with his soul instead of remaining on the body he had previously worn.
Holika then saw the explosive rage of Kitai, having huddled into himself by crossing his arms over the front of his body and then using Cutback Assault to unleash a fury on the battlefield. Holika beat her wings, moving back an extra five feet and saw the waves of energy hit her aura of Burning Body before they burned into nothing. She raised an eyebrow, impressed a bit by the amount of power Kitai was throwing around while she saw the platform fall to pieces, her mines still shining in random pieces of concrete as they fell to the ocean below.
Finally, she smirked as the fog beasts were turned into nothing but mush that flew on the wind, the viscera becoming almost rain that fell into the ocean, mixing with the waves and more than likely attracting some sharks. While all this was happening, Holika began to clap her hands together, showing appreciation to Kitai for his level of power. “You certainly aren’t like most Saika… That’s for sure. Perhaps I was a bit hasty in thinking that you should be slated for punishment and instead let’s have a moment to talk. You could be more than useful…” Her smirk grew a bit before she started slowly floating towards him, using her wings to beat against the air as she approached towards Kitai’s new body.
{Techs Used and SP Pool}Saisei Oni: Custodia Tartaros (Guard of Hell) [Cuarta Release Modified to Class One]: Cost 700 Reiatsu and Two posts in Release
Technique Name: [Bladed Chains] (Mastered)
Class: [3]
Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]
Usable By: [Hell Races]
Technique Element: [None]
Technique Description and Effects:
1: The chains of Hell torment the denizens endlessly, so why not share the misery? Learning this ability influences the blades, giving them the ability to cut through anything as easily as a normal spiritual blade can, regardless of the chains not changing in appearance, still as rounded as ever. The offensive stat for the chains is based off either the highest Spiritual stat, or the user's Strength stat, whichever is higher. Chains are unable to cut their owner. This is a passive ability, and is unable to be turned off.
2: Through some heavy handed use of reiatsu, the user can extend and manipulate the chains to do as they please. For strength users, the chains will extend upto thirty feet, and will move at either a speed equal to their speed stat, or at a speed of 600. For spiritual users, the size scales off of their highest spiritual stat. For every 50 they have in their higher stat, the chains can extend another foot, and can move at either 600, or the user's speed. Cost is 100 reiatsu every post.]
How to use technique: [Pay the cost for chains. Cutting power is permanently active]
Technique Drawbacks: [Cost.]

Technique Name: Burning Body
Technique Type: [Body]
Usable By: Hell
Technique Element: Fire
Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s body becomes immune to flames of lesser beings, having become a source of Hellfire incarnate. At Primera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 50% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Segunda she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 75% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Trecera she immolates all non-water based techniques that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. At Cuartra her body immolates all non water-based techniques that do not exceed 125% of her highest Spiritual stat. She also becomes immune to all Hellfire-based attacks that do not exceed 100% of her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika can be harmed if the OS of a character using any technique exceeds the aforementioned limits at the appropriate stage of release. This includes a fire based technique.
When a non-water based technique meets the above requirements, the heat from her body surrounded the target technique. Her bodily heat then produces flames around the technique, burning it to a crisp and stopping it's motion, keeping it from touching her body. The flames then expunge the technique from existence, burning it to nothing but ashes that fall to the ground after the immolation has been completed.
How to use technique: This technique is automatically activated upon release and costs 50 reiatsu per post.
Technique Drawbacks:
When activated, Holika takes damage from Ice and Water based attacks, taking the damage as if it is an additional 50% of OS damage.
Technique Name: Blazing Weapons
Technique Type: [Weapon]
Usable By: Hell
Technique Element: Fire/Hellfire
Technique Description and Effects:
Holika’s weapons become covered in red flames, making the metal glow red while engulfed in the fires surrounding them. At the first stage the flames are no more than ordinary flames, causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 2 the flames are hotter than ordinary flames, becoming blue and causing damage to those who come into contact with them. At stage 3 Holika’s flames become nearly invisible white flames around her weapons, still afflicting those that come into contact with them, however they cannot be seen on the weapons except by those who have techniques to view spiritual aura or those with energy sensory of at least 200.
At stage 4 the flames are made of her Hellfire, causing similar damage as her aura for as long as they are touching the skin of those with a lower RS than her highest Spiritual Stat. Holika’s weapons also change, becoming covered in black Hellfire flames, leaving the weapons seemingly untouched with the exception of the black and purple flames surrounding them. Those with a higher or equal RS than her highest Spiritual Stat would simply receive damage as if they were normal flames.
At all stages these flames may spread from her weapons and set either the target or the environment on fire. This does not include anything that is non-flammable or water based. The flames will continue to spread five feet per post when the environment is set on fire and the flames are not doused. The damage added to her weapons hitting a target is based on Holika's highest Spiritual Stat.
How to use technique:
Paying 100 reiatsu at form 1, with each form adding to the cost by 50 reiatsu per weapon. As she increases in form she only pays the difference between forms to keep weapons that are already alight lit.
Technique Drawbacks:
The cost of this technique is 100 reiatsu per weapon at base form with an increase of 50 reiatsu per level of her forms. The flames on her weapons can be dosed with water at stages one through three and at the fourth form water and wind based reiatsu attacks may put out the flames.
Interrogation (4) - You are able to interrogate people. A 1 means you can usually get enough information to make educated guesses. A 2 means you can gather even more information, but they won't tell you everything. A 3 means they will likely tell you almost every detail. A 4 means they will tell you everything you need to know provided you have at least a 1 in Charisma/Leadership.
Mental Incantation (3) - It allows the user to cast Kidō with mental incantations rather than vocal. A 1 means they can cast the Kidō wordlessly. A 2 means they can cast Kidō wordlessly and say its incantation mentally for increased effectiveness. A 3 means they can wordlessly cast Kidō and vocally say the incantation afterwards to increase its strength in mid-combat. They can also speak two incantations simultaneously by weaving them together to release two Kidō like the Nijū Eishō style. A 4 means they can do everything mentioned before, but now they can mentally weave two incantations together rather than speak it.
Charisma/Leadership (3) - You are good at leading and getting people to like you by using your boundless energy. You can inspire others and gain their trust. The more points you have, the wider a range of people you can affect. A 4 means you can even convince evil people or those of other factions to join you without much of an issue.
Weapons (Chains) (3) - Most weapon-related non-Release techniques may require a certain Skill Point amount, as well as different fighting styles. A 1 would mean you can use them adequately, as if you've been training for a year or so. A 2 means you've trained for about five years. A 3 means you've achieved a great mastery and have been training for decades. A 4 means you can do almost impossible movements with your weapons with great success.

Rage that had previously pumped through his veins faded away, leaving him feeling colder. Drained. He glared up at the she-beast, even if she didn't look as hideous as she once did, what she was on the outside changed nothing about what she was on the inside. He stood there, feet firmly planted in the now rickety old building. Time did this behemoth of metal no favors, and neither did his Assault upon it. This platform was no longer suitable for his purposes, and would likely be destroyed in another few hits. His glare at the monster was tempered with Wrath gone, but no less hot.
An orb of reiatsu formed in his left hand, and was quickly dropped into another small portal to Hell. The only reason he hadn't started attacking the witch, was because she hadn't done the same already. It was unusual to waste an opportunity like that. She was up to something. She got closer, and began to prattle on about how he was 'different' to other Saika. He could feel his left brow twitch violently once again. If he thought it possible, he would have assumed that this woman had an instruction manual on how to piss him off. But no, he could only attribute that ability of hers to her personality.
This monster was everything he hated about Akki. The arrogance, the pride, the ability to leave Hell whenever they wanted! "You're not better than me." He told her, enough venom on his tongue to kill a man a hundred times over. He would have moved towards her, but her annoying aura of fire was still in effect. He had no idea what that did, but he was close to testing it out. "I'm not like most Saika, because I see through the bull crap you Akki try to feed us. You're not better than us." He held up his left wrist, chains dangling from where it was fused to his skin. "You're his plaything too. And I want out."
Kitai was not amused. Normally he could have some fun with a fight like this. Normally he would be laughing his ass off at the destruction of a structure like this. Not this time. He couldn't enjoy a battle like this, because of what this fiend represented. She represented Hell having found him early. That wasn't supposed to be possible. His bodies were supposed to hide him from the demons and devils that lurked behind that accursed gate, and keep him from returning. Apparently he had been mistaken! Were they always able to find him? Did his powers even work!?
The word 'manic' didn't do justice to the emotions that Kitai was feeling right now. He was close to going insane with all the things that this woman finding him implied. The implications that HE could find him this easily was terrifying. The thought of HIM being able to drag him back into the pit with a thought, left his legs shaking. The thought that he was the entertainment of some sick bastard sitting on a fiery throne left him nearly frothing at the mouth in anger. This Akki represented all of that and more, just by being here. All of the threats and posturing didn't help her in any way, only allowing him to focus more on her than at what she represented.
"I don't know what in that rotten hunk of coal you call a brain is telling you that I'm going to ever work for you and your kind, but it's wrong. I hate Hell. I hate Akki. And I most certainly hate that Thing on the other side holding the other end of these chains. Nothing you have to offer me is ever going to be enough for me to join you and yours." He told her, his tone as scathing as her fire is hot. Even should this woman manage to best him, he would not yield. He would not submit to Hell. He would break free, even if he had to break every Hellion on his way out. This woman would not talk him into working for her.
