{Nukiashi: Oikage}

Technique Name: Nukiashi: Oikage (Trackless Step: Seeking Shadow)

Class: 1

Technique Type: Hohō

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: Stealth and subterfuge is an art often used by those of the Onmitsukido to gain the upper hand on a target meant for assassination. Oikage is a technique created by Aevus to use that teaching to its fullest effect. It is first performed by an abrupt and flareless step at 25x their speed. Like Utsusemi and Shinkirou the user creates an afterimage in their place. This afterimage is unique though in that the users reiatsu signature actually clings to it for one post, allowing the user to easily misdirect those with any form of energy sensory or technique used to track the user. This causes the users reiatsu signature to linger, not following their person as they move and perform techniques. Allowing it to even trick techniques such as Pesquis. As such this technique initially requires a target to have at least 200 energy sensory to detect the user. Points in stealth increases this requirement by an increment of 200 for each additional point in stealth. (i.e. 400 ES for one point in stealth, 600 for two points, 800 for three and 1000 for four.) If the afterimage is struck, the image will disappear returning the users signature within 1.5 seconds. Upon mastery the blurring effect caused by the speed of this technique lingers causing the user to become invisible to the naked eye for a total of 2 seconds after stepping, allowing the user to stealthily take out their target if they're fast enough. This in turn causes an anomaly where even the users shadow has difficulty keeping up, hence the name Oikage.

How to use technique: Focus of Reishi around the feet area and launch off into a single blurring step. It is not unlike teleportation in appearance, but it is simply extremely fast movement. It is often used to gain an edge in a single moment of combat or to dodge incoming attacks.

Technique Drawbacks: On top of the class 1 cost, Oikage requires the user to possess 500 speed as well as a 3 in Hohō to even learn. Mastery requires the user to possess at least 700 speed. As the speed implies, this technique can easily leave the user fatigued and thus requires a short rest period (2 posts) before the user can perform another step tech. Lastly even though, the user can't normally be sensed by ES and tracking techniques (Unless they are techniques placed on the user), it doesn't mean it fools the other senses, except for sight. And even than the user isn't completely void of being spotted (i.e. Footprints can be seen in snow, rain will fall off the user, etc) Additionally points in anti-stealth reduces the ES requirement to detect the user by increments of 200.

{Hakaiten (Fracture Point)} Technique Name: Hakaiten (Fracture Point)

Class: 2

Technique Type: Kido

Usable By: Shinigami, Vizard and Rogue.

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: Watching from the shadows. Patiently biding your time, for the most opportune moment to attack where your enemy is the weakest. Allowing even one small in stature, to kill a behemoth in possibly one strike. As one trained within the Onmitsukido, Aevus has created a technique meant for assassinations, a sneak attack which he simply has named Fracture Point.

By focusing Reiatsu into the eyes, the user can enhance their perception in a rather unique way. By spending 600 Reiatsu For up to five posts, or by spending 120 Reiatsu for short bursts, the user can see the fracture points, the said faults in both techniques, objects and people alike. These fracture points appear as thin lines within the users perception. And by striking these places, the targets offensive stat will be treated 25% less for that exchange. When Mastered this becomes 30%. This allows the user to destroy objects, destroy techniques, and potentially kill their enemies with a single blow. It should be noted because of the weak point, if the user strikes it. It'll do significantly more damage. Tripling the damage they would have imposed with but a single strike. This can allow the user to break glass with single tap, and perhaps even cripple enemies with a single precise stab. Against techniques, such as cero, the user could attack the weakest point, causing the technique to fizzle out or possibly be split in two.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): Concentrate and focus Reiatsu into eyes and analyze target.

Technique Drawbacks: On top of the cost, this technique counts as either a long term (5 posts) or short term (1 post) thus limiting the number times it can be used in a thread. This does not include when being used against objects not being used or manifested by another when used for short bursts. Hakaiten requires the user to possess a 3 in battle analysis or focused eye, and to possess at least 300 instinct. While striking the weak point requires some skill, requiring the user to possess a 3 in one combat method. Also it should be noted, the user must strike the intended weak point to actually inflict the increased damage. If the user misses the weak point, it'll inflict the regular amount of damage they would have originally.

{Soul Manifestation}

Technique Name: Soul Manifestation

Class: 1

Technique Type: Soul Release

Usable By: Shinigami and Vizard

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: It is well known in order to learn Bankai a Shinigami must manifest and subjugate their Zanpakuto Spirit. Techniques such as Spiritual Projection allow a Shinigami to materialize their Zanpakuto Spirit, or Inner Hollow when used by Vizards respectfully. Soul Manifestation is a passive augmentative technique that relies upon existing techniques or abilities that allow one to release their Spirit outside their Inner World.

Soul Manifestation’s strength comes from the fact that it allows ones Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow the ability to utilize their release alongside the one who manifested them. They are the source of a Shinigami’s power after all, it only makes sense that they could make use of both Shikai and Bankai. This follows the same rules of release as a Shinigami or Vizard. Following rules of cost and length of release. When released the Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow have access to up to five of the user's non-Release techniques and any existing Step Technique. Chosen each time they release. A great boon of freedom is granted to the Spirit upon mastery, allowing them to release separately from the user if they so desire. Soul Manifestation also grants the Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow the ability to manifest themselves whenever they wish. Using existing techniques such as Spiritual Projection and Kurayami: Kurotaigen as the catalyst. Yet treating themselves as the one who had used the technique. Uniquely Soul Manifestation also grants the one materialized its own SkP pool. Which total is tied to the user and distributed when learned. These SkP placements are permanent, which can only be changed with CIUs.
How to use technique: Manifest Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow.

Technique Drawbacks: This technique is powerful, granting the user an ally who can utilize ones release. It should be noted though, this technique does come with some requirements to learn and some nasty drawbacks. Firstly the user must have access to Bankai. This shows the user has already manifested and subjugated their Zanpakuto Spirit. Or has faced their Inner Hollow when being used by a Vizard. Secondly the user must have some way of manifesting their Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow. Or this technique cannot be learned. Thirdly when mastered the Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow gains free reign of when they wish to manifest. This can be dangerous, especially for those who possess an Inner Hollow. Fourthly all Drawbacks from the technique used to manifest the Zanpakuto Spirit or Inner Hollow still apply. Soul Manifestation merely augments those existing techniques passively. Yet if the Zanpakuto Spirit/Inner Hollow is defeated those existing drawbacks from those Manifestation techniques are more severe. Doubling the time it takes for the Spirit to manifest once more. Lastly, the user is still limited by the rules of their release, regardless if their Spirit is utilizing it at the same time. Meaning release techniques, that can only be used once per post/thread are still limited in that capacity. Thus the user can’t bypass these limitations of their release while using this technique. Also even if releasing separately, release limit is tied between the two. Meaning 2 posts of release are used up, when both are released at the same time. Lastly this technique can't be learned by those with summon based releases.

{Kurayami: Kurotaigen}Technique Name: Kurayami: Kurotaigen [Darkness: Dark Manifest]

Class: 1

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Vizard

Technique Element: Spirit

Technique Description and Effects:
A powerful technique, Kurotaigen takes its inspiration from the Shinigami technique Spiritual Projection. While a mastered Spiritual Projection allows one to summon a temporary form of their Zanpaktou spirit, or even Inner Hollows when used by a Vizard, Kurotaigen is a step beyond that. Not only does it manifest the user's Inner Hollow, but completely binds the Hollow to their will, allowing the user to control it without any risk of harm to themselves. Additionally, this dark figure is incredibly powerful as it inherits the user's total SP, but distributes it in a way that is more appropriate to the Hollow's fighting style. If mastered, it has a further benefit adding the bonus of a Hollow mask atop the creature's SP. In other words, this creates a powerful companion for combat, one that can have the powers of a Vizard's mask in addition to its own strength.

Kurotaigen also gives the manifested Hollow access to up to five of the user's non-Release techniques, chosen each time Kurotaigen is used. Kurotaigen or any techniques with requirements that are not met, such as a Vizard mask, cannot be gained. While the Hollow has these techniques, the user cannot access them himself, effectively splitting his combat ability with the summoned Hollow. Additionally, the Hollow has access to Shunpo—not Sonido, or any custom step techniques—without taking from the user's list of available techniques. The Inner Hollow has its own Reiatsu pool, one that is determined based on the stats distributed when this technique is learned.

When this technique is learned, the manifestation lasts for up to five posts or until the user's Vizard mask is dismissed. Until mastery, the manifested Hollow only has the user's base SP, which is distributed when this technique is learned. These stats are permanent, and can only change with SP total changes. Upon mastery, this technique lasts indefinitely as long as the user has their Vizard mask active, and the manifested Hollow's stats are doubled, as per the Vizard mask bonus. Note that the Inner Hollow shares the user's Type, and bonuses are chosen at technique creation as well, when stats are assigned.

How to use technique:
First, the Vizard using this technique must have their mask active. From there, they draw upon the dark Reiatsu within themselves, releasing it into a manifest form about them. The Inner Hollow, the dark creature within all Vizards, is summoned to the battlefield at this point, and can be controlled freely.

Technique Drawbacks
Though this technique creates a devastatingly powerful ally, it does have its drawbacks. First, its duration can never be longer than the duration of the user's Vizard Mask, meaning that this has a very limited potential for use throughout threads. Second, there is great risk in using this technique; if the Inner Hollow is defeated by dealing an incapacitating wound, one that would normally kill it, the manifestation is dispersed. However, the true penalty comes to the Vizard, who cannot access his mask or Release until a period of significant rest (8+ hours) is taken, as the Inner Hollow powers both. Finally, this comes with a cost of 300 Reiatsu per post.

{Zen'nō Katto (Omnipotent Cut)}

Technique Name: Zen'nō Katto (Omnipotent Cut)
Class: 2
Technique Type: General Physical
Usable By: All Races
Technique Element: N/A

Technique Description and Effects: A simple idea brought to the pinnacle of what can be done with a sword. This technique begins by the user holding their blade steady with all of their strength focused upon the hilt. Drawing the blade begins the technique which involves the user moving their arm fast enough to cut everything around them in all directions. The arm of the user doesn't appear to move due to the vast burst of speed leaving an afterimage in its place making it impossible to track the attack through arm motion. This attack lasts for only a moment inflicting damage upon anything within the reach of the blade in the span of a second making it a truly devastating technique for anyone to unleash.

How to use technique: The user must place all of their strength into the hilt of the sword while focusing completely on their blade. Once completely still the technique is unleashed.

Technique Drawbacks: Requires 500 speed along with a 2 in whatever weapon the user may use. There are few cons to this technique yet they're potent. The first of which is simply that this technique depletes the users stamina by hefty amount. Although masters can employ it multiple times potentially most who even attempt to learn this technique are left exhausted after the first attempt. The biggest downside to this technique is simply the stress and damage that accompanies employing it. After employing this technique the user loses feeling in the arm used while the skin covering their arm along with any material is ripped off leaving the limb weak and causing the user pain. Should it be employed additional times the damage to the arm becomes astronomically worse until eventually the flesh of the arm is completely ripped off. Masters of this technique are unharmed by the first usage.

{Umbra persona (Shadow mask)}Technique Name: Umbra persona (Shadow mask)

Class: 4

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Vizard

Technique Element: Shadow

Technique Description and Effects: A technique possessed by Umbra, Aevus's inner Hollow which she used to appear harmless and perhaps approachable to her dear Hunter. With a cost of 50 Reiatsu it grants the user the ability to change their form once per post to an animal or person of their size or smaller by wrapping themselves in a cocoon of shadowy Reiatsu. Giving them the ability to mold their form to one they desire at the time. In this form the users clothing and weapons melds with them, allowing the user to change on the fly if the need arises. This can also be used partially for combat purposes to dismiss and call a weapon on their person in a puff of shadow for 25 Reiatsu. Additionally one could use this technique in a Cinematic fashion for no cost to craft clothing. Mastery of this technique allows it to be flareless at night or in the dark. Meaning the user will give off no Spiritual Signature while in this transformation. This ends when the user performs a technique or issues an attack of any kind.

How to use technique: Wrap oneself in a cocoon of shadowy Reiatsu and mold your form to one you desire.

Technique Drawbacks: This transformation isn't perfect by any means for shadowy whisps of dark reiatsu will leak and falter from them giving away the illusion to any, with at least a two in one of the following skills, Battle Analysis, Analysis, Focused Eye, and Illusion resist. At night or in the dark it is harder to discern the user, requiring a 3 in one of those skills.

{Umbra arma (Shadow arms)}Technique Name: Umbra arma (Shadow arms)

Class: 2

Technique Type: Other

Usable By: Vizard

Technique Element: Shadow

Technique Description and Effects: The day Aevus fatefully faced his Inner Hollow, Umbra met her dear Hunter not with blade in hand - but instead with darkly threads of spiritual steel that threatened to ensnare. Yet still those threads sheltered the power of his Zanpakuto all the same. Arma is a technique that wraps ones Zanpakuto in a cocoon of shadowy Reiatsu. Thus turning ones Zanpakuto into a malleable shadow allowing the user to mold and forge the spiritual steel into a different form altogether with a mere thought. Generally costing 100 Reiatsu to mold. For anything smaller than a wakizashi it costs 50 Reiatsu. Length is limited to 10 feet, though for flexible weapons such as Umbra’s preferred thread it can reach 30. It should be noted any technique that copies the user’s Zanpakuto will instead take on the shadowy form the Zanpakuto has currently molded into. Also because of the innate bond the user has with their Zanpakuto, they have the ability to wield their weapon with the same skill as before the change. Mechanically this replaces the weapon skill the user may possess to the Zanpakuto’s current form.

How to use technique: Wrap Zanpakuto in a cocoon of shadowy Reiatsu and mold it into a form you desire.

Technique Drawbacks: This transformation doesn’t give the user any advantage other than the ability to change their Zanpakuto's form to a weapon of choice. As such the durability and sharpness of the Zanpakuto remain the same regardless of form. It should also be noted ammunition is not created along with the change. So arrows, bullets, and explosives cannot be created.

{Kurayami: Chōsoku Saisei}Technique Name: Kurayami: Chōsoku Saisei (Darkness: Ultra-Fast Regeneration)

Technique Class: 1 - 250 TTP

Technique Type: Kurayami.

Usable By: Vizard.

Technique Element: Spirit.

Technique Cost: 300 Reiatsu, & 600 Reiatsu for internal organs.

Description: It is well documented that most Hollows and some Arrancar possess the supplementary ability of High-speed regeneration. A technique that allows the user to heal at a drastically increased rate. Granting the Hollow or Arrancar the ability to heal wounds and regenerate lost limbs within mere moments of receiving those injuries. Chōsoku Saisei is a twin to that innate power granted to Vizards by their Inner Hollow. One that requires a one time payment, and remains active for the Vizards remaining Mask posts. Uniquely Chōsoku Saisei unlike its sibling can regenerate organs at double the cost of activating this technique. This regeneration includes, but is not limited to internal organs such as the heart, lungs, brain, etc. Though regeneration of the brain and heart, can only occur once in a thread.

Mastery of this technique allows the Vizard to instead grant a target of choice the regeneration granted by their Inner Hollow. This is either done through touch, or flowing the Hollow Reiatsu through their Zanpakuto and striking them. When used in this way the user cannot benefit from the regeneration, and instead their target does. Though the Vizard must pay the cost to heal their internal organs. If the user wishes to heal their own injuries they must pay the cost of the technique again. Which in turn removes the Hollow Reiatsu from their target.

The way injuries are visually recovered can differ from Vizard to Vizard. Some simply regrow flesh, while others may have their wounds knitted closed as if by threads of Reiatsu. The way this regeneration occurs is up to the Vizard, but is innately linked to the nature of their Inner Hollow.

How to Use: To use this technique, the user must first have their mask active, and then call upon the dark Hollow Reiatsu within their body to flow throughout them. Allowing it to passively regenerate their wounds. When performed on a target, the user flows that very same dark Hollow Reiatsu into a limb of choice, or Zanpakuto, and must come into contact with them.

Drawbacks: Besides costs, this technique as with most Kurayami techniques requires that the Vizard's Mask be present. Only remaining active for ever how long the user wears their Mask. It should be noted that the high-speed regeneration of limbs and vital organs is rather quick, yet requires concentration, and a single post to regain complete functionality. When recovering a limb the Vizard may experience numbness, shakes, and trouble gripping objects. Recovering from damage done to the brain and heart is a different story altogether. Requiring the Vizard to remain almost motionless from what would usually be a killing blow, while their inner Hollow concentrates on returning them from deaths door. They can move, yet they are severely stunted over the course of a post. Regenerating such damage is both mentally and physically taxing on the Vizard. Which in turn can leave them winded, or even out of commission depending on how vital the organ was, and damage done before regeneration occurred.

{ Kurayami: Kitsunebi no Rei}Technique Name: Kurayami: Kitsunebi no Rei (Darkness: Fox-Fire Zero)

Technique Class: 1 - 250 TTP

Technique Type: Kurayami.

Usable By: Vizard

Technique Element: Fire | Shadow

Technique Cost: 200 Reiatsu per Kitsunebi, 25 Reiatsu per Kitsunebi to keep active, 200 to merge one Kitsunebi, 400 to merge two Kitsunebi, & 600 to merge three Kitsunebi.

Description: Also simply called Kitsunebi by its creator, Kitsunebi no Rei is a technique molded by Aevus's inner Hollow, and is an homage to the number technique Rei. Released from the users Zanpakuto, and split from their Inner Hollow's darkly Reiatsu, the user will materialize Kitsunebi, which take the form of small fiery Fox-like spirits. Their color reflects the Hollows Reiatsu that was used to form them. These fiery spirits are ghostly and appear semi-sentient, but are controlled through mental commands by the user's Inner Hollow. When not given a command they orbit around the user, prancing around at a speed of 400 on the air, and ground. They are slow on their own, yet they can individually be commanded to sick a target. When given that command they rush forward in a straight-line at 800 speed, quickly becoming a blur. While dashing they leave a Reiatsu trail from their bushy tails making them appear as a beam of Reiatsu. In this state the destructive nature of Kitsunebi is that of a Vizard Cero, which uses their highest spiritual offensive stat (RS by default, if not released). If Mask is not active, it is instead equivalent to a base Cero.

The actual strength of these fiery spirits is their innate ability to merge with the users existing techniques or their Zanpakuto itself, by paying the cost to materialize them again. When merging, they will step upon the technique or Zanpakuto with a single paw causing a ripple of Reiatsu before dissipating. In this state they enhance that technique with their destructive nature for a single hit. If the technique in question has a set speed, it increases by 400 while merged. After the explosion occurs, the technique Kitsunebi was merged with will be destroyed regardless of durability. When merging with the Zanpakuto the user can release the Kitsunebi at any moment, albeit at a speed of 1200.

Through mastery the user can merge multiple Kitsunebi into the same technique or Zanpakuto to strengthen its destructive capabilities. It should be noted regardless of mastery the user can only merge up to three Kitsunebi in a single post. Also the size of this technique never changes, although the destructive nature of it does drastically.

Learned - The user can merge one, costing 200 Reiatsu, and increasing techs with set speeds by 400, including this technique when released from the user's Zanpakuto.
Proficient - The user can merge two, costing 400 Reiatsu, and increasing the explosion up to 2.5x their highest offensive stat with Mask. Mastery allows it to be used without Mask, though merging becomes limited to 1.5x the user's offensive stat.
Mastered - The user can now merge three, costing 600 Reiatsu, and increasing the explosion up to 3.0x their highest offensive stat with Mask. Mastery allows it to be used without Mask, though merging becomes limited to 2x the user's offensive stat.

How to Use: To use this technique, the user must first have their mask active, and then call upon the dark Hollow Reiatsu within. They then release it in the form of Kitsunebi.

Drawbacks: Kitsunebi can only be fully utilized to its complete potential while the user has their Vizard Mask active. For even with mastery, the user is limited to enhancing their offensive stat by 2x when merging Kitsunebi without their Mask active. Also uniquely Reiatsu expended from this technique bypasses the Vizard Masks Reiatsu suspension regardless of doning ones mask or not. When merging more than one Kitsunebi into a single technique or Zanpakuto this technique counts as an attack boost, and thus that enhancement is limited once-per post. Also regardless of Kitsunebi active, the user can only merge up to three in a single post.
