Character Name: [Seikatsu Raito]

Previous Real Age: [164]

Current/New Real Age: [232]

Previous Age of Appearance:

[/b] [21]

Current/New Age of Appearance: [22]

New Ideals/Personality:[/b] [Raito believes Soul Society isn't really much of a family he is looking for. This Shinigami jumped boats to people more like him, the Vizards. Becoming a Vizard, he knows that a true family is much more connected and smaller. He also feels that the outcasting of Hollows as evil isn't something that should be done. Raito knew he wouldn't be able to keep his spot as a Captain with the Hollow lurking in him. He went to the Vizards for help, by disappearing from Soul Society. With this, he is the same old Raito but with a new outlook towards the Shinigami of Soul Society.]

New Appearance: [Same appearence, except he doesn't wear the Haori and Shinigami robe anymore. He can be seen wearing a red dress shirt with a black trench coat. He also wears black khaki pants.]

New History: [Raito confronted the Vizards about his Hollow, and his request was taken for the exchange of joining them. They sent him to his inner world to fight his inner Hollow, basically a stronger version of himself. He won the battle, but almost lost himself to the Hollow in the process. He learned to master his Vizard Mask, and Vizard Cero. ]

Shikai Ability: Chi ni Ueru - Bloodlust is a Shikai technique used by Raito. It is a passive technique where when blood is drawn from his opponent, or himself his reiatsu strength is increased by 5%. The blood drawn must be a significant cut that is noticeable to the normal eye. The blood being drawn causes Chi Akuryou to intesify and take in the blood, increasing its power. The increase in Chi Akuryou's power increases Raito's reiatsu strength. As more blood is consumed the more the bloodlust takes effect in Raito. This technique passively causes Raito to lose control and fight more wild, and instinctively. This is where the phrase "drunk with blood" would perfectly fit. Once the total amount of increase of reiatsu strength reaches 25%, Raito is more or less controlled by the wishes of Chi Akuryou. And his Zanpakutou's wishes in battle is nothing more than blood from the weilder or the enemy. There will be times when Chi Akuryou will forcibly cause Raito to take damage just for the blood. It is risky technique and it is only controllable in Bankai. The cap for this technique is 45%.

We took a break for November and December so that maybe someone could take Scar. No one did. Alright, here he is again.

Target Name: Scar

Target Level: Extreme

Recommendation for attempt: Class 1

Reward Dead: 500,000 Ryo

Reward Alive: 1,000,000 Ryo

Powers: Unknown for the most part. We do know that the armor he forms on his body at all times can hold MANY different weapons, including what appears to be a cheesy sci-fi laser rifle.

Fighting Style: Tends to use LOTS of different types of weapon and massive aggression. Has many weapons of high level technology, almost futuristic even. Most enemies left in pieces. All other information unknown, figure moves like a blur and is difficult to see in action.

Reason for Bounty: This guy was formerly employed by Seireitei. He's a Bounty Hunter with extreme skill. However, he obviously only works for money. And, Seireitei didn't pay him enough. Las Noches gave a higher bid, so now he kills in the name of Sonken Kouhai. What does this mean? It's his turn to be collected, there's a Bounty on his head. As long as they don't get caught, Arrancar can go after the Bounty too. Kill this guy! The Bounty has been on him for months. No pursuers have gotten him, or even learned his powers.

Picture of Target:

[Seikatsu Raito]

The Vizard appeared in a red dress shirt cleanly buttoned up to the neck. He wore black khakis underneath and had a long black coat on top of his wear. The wind blew slightly in the meadow area at the edge of Karakura town. The grass blew in the winds direction, as the tail of the Vizard's coat danced along the wind's rhythm. He stared at the odd appearance of the enemy in front of him, he didn't look like any kind of enemy he had seen before. His armor was odd and he showed no skin on his body. Raito looked at the enemy and he seemed to look formidable. If Soul Society wanted him this bad to extend their offers to anyone, even the Vizards, then they must want him really bad. Well, a bounty wasn't worth as much alive than dead, so he would aim to kill which would incapacitate him long enough to take him to Soul Society, get his bounty and make an escape.

Raito smirked as he stood there a blade hidden on his back in its sheath. The claws of his black steel guards on his hands could be seen as the coat's sleeves covered up to his wrists. The metal claws scratched against the red head as he had a devilish smirk on his face. He was awaiting for the Bounty Hunter, "C'mon attack first," Raito edged the enemy. He wondered how strong this guy was, Raito had seen this man's Bounty before he even joined the Vizards and no one seemed to have successfully beat him.

[Zou ۞]

Scar didn't speak, only regarded Raito with a calmed expression. His attire was absolute, he was wearing all of his armor. Every body attachment was on. The reason for this was that Scar could sense Raito's Reiatsu very well. He was taking no chances with this, obviously. One of Scar's arm compartments opened up instantly, and he reached out, grabbing what flew out as the compartment closed again. In his left hand grasp, his finger already on the trigger, was what appeared to be some kind of futuristic gun. He fired it once by squeezing the trigger, and a large green laser flew out, straight towards Raito. It was some kind of laser ray gun or something like that. At any rate, the blast looked strong, so it wasn't like Raito was going to win this battle without taking heavy damage, if he did manage to win, since, after all, by itself this gun was just a preliminary.

Scar moved forwards instantly after firing, the laser gun retracting back into his left arm compartment. From out of his right arm compartment, a blade made of dark red energy erupted, forming on his wrist. Scar slashed at Raito with this while the laser was still heading for Raito. Raito had to deal first with the laser, second with the slash. It was actually unlikely that he'd get out of this situation without damage, though this probably wouldn't occur to him until he found out why, later.

[Seikatsu Raito]

Raito looked at his opponent as he made no talk, he didn't like opponents that were boring. Sure the fight might be fun, but he enjoyed a small conversation while fighting. It showed what his enemy was like and the character they had, well actions alone showed that, but still, it showed more of the thoughts one could have. The Vizard watched as the unique armor popped out a pistol like weapon, some kind of odd futuristic looking gun. Raito already could guess what was coming out of that, probably some kind of blast that could be used long range. It would seem his opponent was a long ranged- his thoughts were cut short by the scene of a dark red energy blade materializing out of another compartment from his right hand. Raito used his speed to move out of the lasers way by traveling further up the sky, but he was introduced to Scar's red blade. It was matched with the Vizard's Zanpakutou being drawn. A slash was met with a slash that bounced off each other, and Raito kept forward with his speed. He could see that his speed was faster than Scar's and used it to quickly slash diagonally aiming more for his left arm and its compartments.

Raito believed if he could damage the armor of his body, then he could do some damage to his ranged weapon he hid in there... somewhere. It was a guess, but Raito guessed that attacking the armor would damage whatever he was hiding in there. The Shinigami quickly jumped away after his attack would slash across. Creating a mid-range distance, Raito quickly released his blade into its Shikai state, knowing he would need some kind of advantage if he was going to fight this Bounty Hunter and his ranged abilities. "Nan Zennen no Ketsuzoku! (Thousand Years of Blood)," Raito said, as his blade grew in size very minimally, but gushed blood out of nowhere from the blade. It was as if he had just finished carving someone up as blood splattered out of the blade.

Shikai: 1/10
Reiatsu: 2,800/3,000

[Zou ۞]

No good. Raito's fast slashes didn't need blocking. Scar's blade vanished back into the compartment on the right arm, and one of the left arm compartments opened up as well. Some kind of metal orb was surrounding Scar instantly, like a cocoon. It was some kind of shield, some kind of defense. And Raito's metal blade was useless against Scar's orb. As soon as Raito moved away, and released, Scar's orb retracted back into a compartment. But, before Raito could release, Scar knew what was coming. He could sense it with his incredible senses. He saw Raito tensing, and he heard Raito's muscles constricting tightly in preparation. He heard Raito's heart beating, the blood pumping, moving through the veins. He smelled the blood, and he even heard the energy moving throughout reiatsu as it grew in strength at a very quick rate. Seconds before Raito released, Scar could already tell that a release was coming.

From out of his right arm compartment, a much larger blaster than before shot out. This one appeared to be what one would consider a bazooka in the future. He aimed it at Raito's blade the instant that Raito released, and fired. A giant missile made of green energy flew towards Raito. As soon as the blood gushed out, the missile hit. A blast of energy and heat rushed throughout the blood as the bazooka returned to Scar's arm compartment. The blood evaporated instantly, turning to some kind of gaseous state, normally impossible for blood. However, that was when it became clear that there was something else happening. The blood was also going through deposition. Within seconds, all of Raito's blood had gone from gas to solid state, skipping the liquid state. It was frozen solid, dropped down onto the ground. However, it was sublimating slowly as well, meaning it was turning to gas. That was the power of the bazooka. It made energy unstable in targets, and caused these targets to go through sublimation and deposition constantly, back and forth.

[Seikatsu Raito]

Raito noted the orb that appeared when he tried to slash at Scar. It was an odd ability that this guy was using. It seemed that he used some kind of energy based abilities. And only his shikai would tell if it was reiatsu or if it was some kind of different ability. Raito didn't recognize any signature of reiatsu, so he could only guess whether it was reiatsu-based attacks or not. He was still gauging this opponent and he seemed to have many different kind of weapons in his arsenal. Raito knew this battle wouldn't be as quick as he thought it would be. The Vizard smirked slightly at this thought, it was a good thought, he could test out his powers even further than before with a good enemy. Maybe he could also strengthen some of his powers and hone it to its perfection.

Raito watched the opponent as he backed off and pulled his blade in front of him as he released. He could see that his opponent was starting to attack as his release was finished, but it didn't matter as the blood gushed out and was affected by the bazooka's odd effects. So it could change matter of whatever it hit. Luckily for Raito, he had mastered his Zanpakutou and its ability to change matter as well. His blood could normally turn into a gaseous and solid state. But since the bazooka made it change constantly, this problem could easily solved by the non-stop production of blood by Raito's blade. More blood simply gushed out of the shikai state and kept dripping blood. There was simply a pile of blood turning gaseous and physical, but more of the liquid blood appeared around them dripping onto the floors of the meadow grass.

Raito noticed how his blood didn't affect the green bazooka blast, normally if it was a reiatsu based ability there would have been some kind of different affect. The reiatsu would be eaten and his blood would have reacted much differently. There had to be something different about the bounty-hunter, the way he used his weapons showed some kind of different technology not seen before. For all he knew, Raito wasn't facing a normal adversary using reiatsu as attacks. He was using something more advanced. This fight was growing more interesting to Raito as it went further. Raito sent out a wave of blood that was in liquid for. Spikes of liquid formed at the front and the liquid became more dense and changed to a solid state. The weight of the blood also increased so that it would slam into his opponent harder. It would now stab the bloody spikes into Scar as it traveled at a faster rate from the change of weight and density.

Ketsueki Ofuro (Blood Bath) - This is a technique used by Raito where he will use the blood to send a wave of it towards his opponent. The wave is simply the acidic blood and it can be physically blocked, if correctly defended against. The wave of blood will be sent to his opponent and the quantity can be regulated by Raito. This can be an offensive or defensive attack since it can be used to counter reiatsu. The downside to this attack is that it can be blown away easily since it is simply liquid flying through the air, in the beginning, before its properties are changed. Defenses that effect a wider area are usually much more effective due to the random splashes of the blood.
This ability is different from a normal wave of blood that can be sent by Raito. This ability increase the reiatsu strength depending on the class of the wave that is sent.

SPOILER: Click to show

Class 4- Usually a small wave of blood used to fight against weaker opponents. It gives a +25 reiatsu strength when fired. This is when the physical state of the blood can be changed.

Class 3- This is when blood becomes more versatile and this is when the density, and weight can be changed when firing this ability. This increases the reiatsu strength of the attack by +50.

Class 2- This is the large waves of blood and can be used in a more versatile way. The blood wave can be utilized like the pressure and toxicity of the blood. This gives +100 reiatsu strength.

Class 1- This is when the wave of blood can become tsunami like and encompass huge areas. The waves of blood can also now change in viscosity, so the liquid is able to act defensively as well now and fool opponents. This gives +125 reiatsu strength when firing.

[Zou ۞]

Scar saw the wave heading towards him, and clearly didn't want to continue having to counter the blood, though he also clearly had no choice. As before, the compartment on his arm opened up, and the silver orb formed around him. The blood splashed into it, but did no damage at all. The orb was not only resistant, but had nothing to do with reiatsu. So that was how it worked. Raito's blood could not bypass the orb. No, wait. It slightly burned it. Slightly. Not nearly enough to get through, though. Barely even enough to be considered first degree. This meant that if he kept up a constant assault for minutes, maybe even hours, Raito might be able to get through the orb. Other than that, it was a defense that he couldn't bypass at his current strength. The orb vanished once the blood wave was gone, and dripped off. The orb returned to the compartment, and a compartment on Scar's left leg opened up.

Scar quickly jerked his leg to bring the weapon to his right hand. It was a buster sword, except that he held it in a one handed grip, somehow. He didn't seem like the guy that would have the physical strength to do something like this. Maybe the sword was actually really light. As opposed to before, this weapon looked particularly metal, and devoid of energy. Oddly enough, it didn't look futuristic at all. So then, what was Scar using? Was it just a sword, or did it have some kind of special power? Raito charged forwards, gliding down straight towards Raito. As he did this, he began slashing wildly with the sword. How would Raito defend himself? There had to be something that the sword did. Would it be more beneficial to dodge the sword or to block it? Obviously, this was an unknown. How would Raito do it?

[Seikatsu Raito]

Raito watched as his blood splattered on his orb and the effects, almost nothing. But he could see slight burns and damage to the orb. So the acidic effects of his blood did do something against his futuristic equipment. The Vizard watched and understood that he would need to go into Bankai if he wanted to defeat this Bounty Hunter. But he also needed to gauge all these new weapons that this guy held. Raito would wait for a little bit since he had released Shikai moments ago. He would savor his reiatsu and see what this guy could do, and attack him after he used some of his blood to damage his orb.

The Vizard watched the buster sword appear in Scar's hand as he rushed forward. It did seem odd to Raito since he had avoided most physical contact and did not seem to be of a strong side in strength. And the way he handled the sword made it look as if it was a knife. Raito watched and started moving back when he started coming at him. He watched the sword and his movements as he moved towards the side and moved in an broken pattern around the air. A wave of blood rushed out of his sword as he moved up and slashed his blade. The blood went towards the rushing Scar, Raito was fast enough to out maneuver Scar, so Raito would see if his buster sword had any powers beyond melee distance.

Shikai: 3/10
Reiatsu: 2,400/3,000

[Zou ۞]

Scar continued swinging that blade as he approached, and suddenly took a two handed grip on it, as if it had gotten much heavier, and swung it cleanly into the approaching blood. Instantly, all of the blood was absorbed into the blade, and Scar waited for a few moments. The metal blade shattered, revealing a much thinner, smaller metal blade, which grew to become longer. This one had green lighted patterns all across it, in appearance of runes. Very Tron-like. It was definitely some futuristic kind of weapon. However, the green slowly began turning red, until the glowing runes were red instead. With that, Scar rushed forwards, and only slashed once. That was all that he needed for the slash. Suddenly, in between Raito's blade and Scar's blade, there was a red line. Not a rope. A line. It looked like crimson red ice, and it completely covered Raito's blade, and Scar's blade. The two were connected completely.

Oddly enough, if Raito tried to, he'd find he couldn't pump any reiatsu into his blade, or control it at all. He could generate no more blood, and he could not use Bankai. "Careful, Shinigami." Scar said. "My blade takes powers and creates a strain with the opposite power, using it to bind my enemies. You can't do anything else with that sword unless you break the ice. I warn you, it's as tough as titanium." Scar, however, seemed to have a weapon for this. Another compartment opened up, revealing the laser gun from earlier. He shot into the ice covering his blade. The line connecting Raito's blade to Scar's shattered, though the ice remained on Raito's blade. The ice on Scar's blade vanished completely, and the sword vanished back into the compartment. Scar aimed the laser gun at Raito, pressing some kind of button on it, as if adjusting a setting. He fired, and a large orange laser flew towards Raito.

[Seikatsu Raito]

Raito watched as his blade basically shed its exterior layer and had an interior blade. He watched the runes do some exotic crap then suddenly an icy crimson color covered his blade with a line connecting to Scar's blade. His opponent was starting to become really annoying and proving to have some odd technology. Raito scratched his head and simply shook his head, as he waved his blade around. Raito could already feel the shift in the fluctuation of his reiatsu with his Zanpakutou spirit, he couldn't tap into its powers at the moment. He watched as how Scar shot his own blade to shatter the ice. That gave him an idea, if he could have one of his guns shoot at Raito, he could block the blast with his blade, shattering the ice. Sure, it might work, so he would simply have to try. He used a Shunpo to gain some distance between the two, but he didn't appear behind or in front of Scar. He appeared above him and was using his speed as a boost as he directed his blade in front of him.

"I guess you took away from abilities, but that's okay then I guess I'll smash you into pieces with this new titanium hard blade!" Raito said, his red eyes staring at the armored human. His eyes glowed with anticipation and excitement, he hadn't fought such an interesting opponent before. The battle was getting harder, and it only made Raito want to win more. He loved battles that challenged him, he would rather have a challenge and discover new strengths within him than simply using his own abilities over and over destroying weaklings. To be stronger, you had to fight stronger opponents. Raito smirked, as his blade slashed towards Scar from above. His advantage would still be speed and Raito would exploit that. He needed to catch Scar off guard. Raito kept using his speed after the initial slash to move around the Aeta human and slash him from different sides. Hoping to find an opening in the technology far superior than Raito's. He was expecting the orb to shield Scar, and would simply keep fighting with Scar.

IC:

Scar held up his arm once, and the titanium blade smashed directly into it. Nothing happened. Oh, right. His body attachments were technically still armor. The titanium blade couldn't do anything, it was nothing but bludgeoning power. Scar had been able to move his arm on time for this because it was such a small movement. Raito was moving around Scar at that point, and the Bounty Hunter was not reacting. He was looking back and forth to keep track of Raito. He wore that helmet, which implied that, with his superior technology, he could probably do some visual things. He probably had things like infra red, night vision, and the ability to keep track of Raito's location with some kind of computerized homing. All of that stereotypical stuff. Scar still did not move as Raito moved around him. His enemy wasn't really a match for him so long as that blade was sealed. Obvious, that was obvious.

Scar was also much smarter than he gave off. He was probably aware that Raito would try to thaw out his own blade using a beam that Scar fired off. He was that kind of opponent. Smart, cold, calculating. Scar wasn't a weak pushover. He was strong. Not just strong, but unbending. His eyes never once flinched. His movements were perfect, precise, timed. Raito had probably noticed that during this battle. He kept his gaze on Raito, and suddenly held up his laser gun. He spoke as he fired. "I can hear you, Vizard." The ray fired out into a place that Raito was not at. It was orange again, the little laser. One problem with where Scar had fired. Even if it wasn't where Raito was, it was where Raito was going. The laser would reach at the same time as Raito, who was already directly en route with his fast movement. He couldn't stop himself from going there, and it was point blank range. What would Raito do?

SPOILER: Click to show

So far, you'll notice that he has a laser gun. This actually has 3 settings. The first is "Disintegration", indicated by green. The next two colors are orange and red, but it's uncertain what these are for.

He also has a bazooka with the same settings.

Scar has that defensive orb that can take heavy damage as well.

He has the dark blade that cuts through anything.

He also has that buster sword that creates a binding opposite of what the power he is trying to seal is. In this case, he turned a liquid to a solid, and used it to bind the blade.

[Seikatsu Raito]

Raito seemed like a very reckless type of fighter, and he was that was why his movements were unpredictable. He did not fight in a set strategic way, so his movements and strategy could change at any given moment. The red eyed Vizard was obviously watching Scar as he moved around the human. When he saw him draw his gun, he took this chance to move a couple yards away from where Scar predicted he would be. When he saw Scar aiming the gun where Raito wasn't even at, he knew that Scar was predicting his movements and Raito's brawler type of fighting gave him the advantage to the calculating human.

Raito lifted his blade to where the orange blast was shot towards. For some reason, there was a feeling Raito got that the different color of the laser guns meant different effects. He hoped that he hadn't made a mistake by letting the orange laser hit his ice covered Zanpakutou. Hopefully it was something that would be able to blast apart the ice that covered his Zanpakutou. Raito watched to see what would happen.
