New Powers:
None. Just a rework of a single ability (Kyōten) to make it more useful (just a lot more details). Just replace the old with the new, under the "Shikai Overall Ability" section of Iroka's app. Details of the rework are below:
Old Shikai Overall Ability
Shikai Overall Ability: Shugyoku Hirenaga’s major ability in shikai is to reflect the physical properties of the world around it. This allows Iroka to defend against attacks by turning them against her aggressors. It also goes a step beyond just reflecting the properties of things; it can also reflect harmful statuses affecting people. A lot of care must be taken while using this particular ability; while it is quite powerful, it can be a double-edged sword. One other aspect of Shugyoku Hirenaga's ability to reflect things is that it confers on her a unique ability which she calls 'Kyōten (Specular Heaven)',which she can use even when her zanpakutō is sealed. Kyōten allows her to create white reiatsu 'shrouds' on her hands, for 25 Reiatsu per shroud. When these 'shrouds' come in contact with any substance, they 'reflect' said substance, gaining the elemental properties of that substance. This allows Iroka a great deal of versatility, and is especially useful when fighting against opponents with elemental weaknesses. Note that while substances without particularly combat-useful qualities may have their characteristics reflected, the elemental aura will have no particular characteristics. Iroka can reflect two different elemental auras at a time, one on each hand. Also, if a shroud has reflected any substance, in order to have it reflect another substance, it must be dispelled and recast. When sealed and in Sjikai, tThe shrouds resemble koi heads. If used in Bankai, the shrouds resemble dragon heads.
New Shikai Overall Ability

It also goes a step beyond just reflecting the properties of things; it can also reflect harmful statuses affecting people.

One other aspect of Shugyoku Hirenaga's ability to reflect things is that it confers on her a unique ability which she calls 'Kyōten (Specular Heaven)', which she can use even when her zanpakutō is sealed. Kyōten allows her to create white reiatsu 'shrouds' on any of her limbs, for 25 Reiatsu per shroud, though only two shrouds can be created at a time. These shrouds are actually a reflection of the durability of her zanpakutou, and normally take the form of samurai bracers, if on her arms, or greaves, if on her legs, although Iroka can manipulate the shapes of these shrouds in order to change the nature of her unarmed attacks (e.g. while unarmed is normally bludgeoning damage, she can give the shroud a blade to cause slashing damage). The shrouds cannot be manipulated to extend beyond a foot while connected to Iroka, so they are still very much short-range weapons. They are as durable as her zanpakutou, allowing her to block strikes with her arms or legs without having to engage her hands to hold her zanpakutou to block an attack. Kyōten is not only defensive in nature; its actual purpose is much more flexible. At Iroka's command, when these 'shrouds' come in contact with any substance, they 'reflect' said substance, gaining the elemental properties of that substance. This allows Iroka a great deal of versatility, and is especially useful when fighting against opponents with elemental weaknesses. Using Kyōten to reflect solid substances (e.g. stone or wood) maintains its durability (equal to that of her zanpakutou), though it may take the color and texture of what it is reflecting. Less solid substances like liquids or gases will make the shroud less tangible, and thus erase any defensive capability of that particular shroud. Note that while substances without particularly combat-useful qualities may have their characteristics reflected, the elemental aura will have no particular characteristics. Iroka can reflect two different elemental auras at a time, one on each hand (or leg, if she desires). Also, if a shroud has reflected any substance, in order to have it reflect another substance, it must be dispelled and recast. Also, Iroka can transfer a shroud from one limb to another, as long as the receiving limb is not shrouded. Finally, Iroka can turn the shrouds into projectiles by firing them at opponents, for a cost of 25 Reiatsu per shroud, and they travel at a speed equal to her Speed stat. When fired, if Iroka's zanpakutou is in Shikai or unsealed, the shroud projectiles resemble koi heads. If used in Bankai, the shroud projectiles resemble dragon heads.
What kind of update:
Rank update+ Reworking of an ability never used so far. Also changing Type to 'Mystic', please.
Current Rank:
Unseated
New Rank:
Supreme Leader of the Shinigami Empire Any available seat at the discretion of my grader. I'm really not picky. I'm picky now. 5th Seat would be nice.
Thread Justification For Rank Change: -
Lost Lamb- Proof that Iroka is level-headed enough to be the voice of reason when needed. Because in a division not known for its brave members, reason is always needed.
Soothing Rage- Because, let's be honest, if a Shinigami cannot kill a hollow, they are useless. Also, let's be honest, there's something badass about catching a giant rock with your face.
Squad 4 Official Training Exercise- Proof that you don't even need to be able to heal shit to be in the 4th. Okay, Iroka can heal stuff now, but still.
Rizer Scouts District 80- A good warrior knows when to fight. A great warrior knows when to faint.
The rest are slightly irrelevant.
