Character Name: Nola Vilde
Previous Real Age: 76
Current/New Real Age: 77
Previous Age of Appearance: 23
Current/New Age of Appearance: 23
New Ideals/Personality:
New Fear:
Cages: Due to a very extensive operation involving the rescue of captive women at a corrupt brothel, Nola has developed a fear of being around cages or kennels. While (ironically) Nillia's constant influence over her tends to distract her from them, if one is directly put infront of her and she is forced to acknowledge it then she will become very anxious and visibly afraid. The mention of putting her in a cage as a threat worries her greatly.
New Appearance: Nola now has several claw-shaped scars along her chest from an encounter with a scorpion beastclan named Chikusho.
New History: During the Fall of house Unoji, Nola collaberated with some shinigami from the Omnitsukido in order to A, take down a criminal that had been kidnapping and trafficking runaway noble women, along with many others. Among them were several souls that Nola had known from her life in the world of the living, and whom she had grown very close to (This very connection having assisted in the success of the investigations leading up to the raid.
In the depths of a series of underground tunnels beneath the Unoji estate, Nola unlocked her Shikai, and for the first time suffered from the memory-altering effects of her zanpaku'to, which allowed her to subdue the distraught Chikusho Unoji, thus ending the operation without having to kill the woman. With her Shikai unlocked. Nola is no longer unaware of Nillia's presence as her Zanpaku't spirit, forcing her to confront the alter self and come to terms with these new powers.
No longer constrained by Nola's lack of a bankai, Nillias hold on Nola has strengthened, and it has become abundantly clear how... frail the woman's mind is. Especially when despite her best efforts to get Nola to kill her enemy in the tunnels, she failed to do so. Not only that, but she had witnessed that while her influence has made Nola's spiritual pressure formidable, it has had a severe impact on the overall health and effectiveness in combat, especially given how dire Nola's situation had been when her AND Shizuyoko (The surviving shinigami also involved with the raid) against the single opponent. With these revalations, Nillia has come to realize that Bankai is not feasibly within Nola's reach, and may never be.
New Powers:
Sôki Ha (Remembering Blade)
Shikai-Tech
This ability manifests as Nola's ability to meld what is real and what is a memory. By gathering up an enormous amount of power she drenches one of her arms in black reiatsu, wrapping it up with a horrible aura before the arm itself fades from existence as it becomes nothing but a memory, a memory that infuses into her zanpaku'to, reshaping it into a Sword forged from the memory of her own flesh. This blade immediately begins breaching the barrier between Nillia and Nola, and parts of Nillia begin showing up on Nola as a black, dripping ethereal hood wraps around her body as Nillia's body literally tries to fuse with Nola's. Their eyes forming four bright yellow dots shining through the material of the hood itself as the material reaches down over her nose. A long, sharp pair of blade-like bat ears sprout from the top of the hood.
By manifesting this sword, Nola's aura is completely eclipsed by Nillia's aura, meaning that while this technique is active, she has 100 Dark Aura. This Remembering Blade serves as a breaching point between memory and reality.
Non-Flavor Stuff:
Whenever Nola's manifested weapon (typically forming around her zanpaku'to) strikes a target or part of their release, they are considered marked instead of receiving actual, immediate damage from the hit. At the end of every post for any individual that is touched by Remembering Blade, a Shadow of their memory forms along the edge of Remembering Blade, and they experience a VERY realistic surge of memory. This vivid memory while distracting, typically will not be too harsh, and will simply interrupt the combatant's rhythm and break their focus for an instant. But what happens next is the real meat of this technique.
Each post, if Nola has accrued at least one Shadow of Memory on her Remembering Edge, she can slam the weapon into the ground, tearing the memory apart and shaping it into a new one which is unleashed upon the battlefield in a black wave of reiatsu that travels at around 3,000 speed and covers a radius of 10 meters (+1 for every 10 points of Sppr Nola has). Everything within this zone is subjected to the new memory, be they living or dead. This memory, entirely of Nola (or rather Nillia's) design is wracked upon each person in the zone's form, typically involving those in the zone. While for living things this applies a purely psychological effect, forcing them to endure the memory, but for the environment, the effects become scars and alterations to the surroundings. Personal effects and nonliving(Zanpaku'to are considered living, as are other weapons such as arrancar zan and fullbringers items so long as they are part of a kind of release) weapons that belong to the members in the zone can resist these changes by having a 15% superiority to Nola's Offensive stat.
If at any time this ethereal blade pierces a living target, as opposed to simply striking the target's personal effects or a part of their release, they can immediately be forced into one of these memories, but at a personal level (surroundings are not effected) and the individual is forced into a twisted memory. If they do not have at least 25% superiority to Nola's offensive stat then they lose invulnerability to the changes of this memory to their personal effects and body itself, only they suffer these changes over the course of two posts. these changes will never be lethal (nor can they reverse lethal damage), but can be incredibly excruciating and debilitating.
Drawbacks: The use of this technique sacrifices one of Nola's arms for it's use, and even when this technique ends and the arm comes back, it does not come back entirely, causing it to not function at 100%, it's speed and instinct (the time it takes to respond to the body) are reduced by 25% for 5 posts after it returns. Additionally, the use of this technique immediately shaves 3 posts of the total duration of her shikai before it needs to be refreshed, and DOUBLES the reiatsu cost needed to refresh it at the end of her Shikai duration (Does not stack when Ability is re-activated after refreshing shikai). Additionally during this technique, Nola's shikai loses the ability to physically collide, meaning it cannot inflict physical damage or block physical strikes. However, reiatsu barriers or defenses (Blut or Hierro for some reason) will interact with the weapon normally (Though this will not stop the effects from occurring unless the barrier is strong enough to keep Nola's weapon from damaging them (aka defensive superiority to Nola's offensive stat))
Individuals with enough speed and strong stepping techniques can also either outpace, or match the pace of, the reiatsu wave and may dodge it if they react quickly enough. This also applies to avoiding Nola's blade in the first place.
Costs 600 Reiatsu to activate.
What kind of update: Class Update, and Time update (s'been a while since she was made)
Additionally she did not have all of her tech slots taken up during her application process, which shall now be taken up by Sôki Ha.
Old Technique
Name: Nigai Kokoro (Bitter Heart)
Bankai Level
Description:This ability is a much more powerful technique than any shikai ability before it. At this level, the technique no longer needs Shinobu to initiate contact. So long as a target is within 200 meters, they can be subject to this ability. In this technique, anyone within this range is locked into zone. Once it has been formed, it cannot be easily escaped. Every post, Nillia may initiate a 'memory;, similar to her shikai level techniques. Only that rather than flashing back and experiencing them, they become real. Whatever the scene Nola chooses, for everyone in the zone, it will happen. They will be unable to resist playing the part set out for them, they will suffer, they will feel, they will injure and be injured. They may even die, and it will be reality.
However, upon the conclusion of every memory, it will all reset. Wounds will fade, those dying within the span of the episode return to life, everything returns to what it once was, except for the soul. Though it will not retain damage, those who participated will find that their mind, and thei body, vividly remembers the experience. Believing will no longer be a factor, as it was indeed a reality. While the outter membrane of this zone is completely permeable, passing through takes at least one full post as the user is slowed on the way out, meaning that even if the target instantly moves to the edge of the barrier, they must suffer at least one episode.
Drawback: The only permanent effects of the technique are psychological. Costs 700 reiatsu to form the zone. The zone itself can be easily permeated, and cannot be moved once set unless it is taken down and the tech is paid for and started up again. The zone's duration is only mitigated by bankai's continuation. Nola receives burns for each memory executed in this fashion. 2 memories in, she will have her senses cut by 50%. At 5 memories she will lose the sensation in her arms. 6 memories in she will lose her ability to continue combat. Tese effects can be staved off by shaving posts off of her bankai duration at a 1:1 ratio. Senses cut can only be delayed by 2 posts, Arm sensation only delayed by 1 post, and Continued combat cannot be delayed. Additionally Nola must be involved with any scene that this ability afflicts, as Nola constantly suffers as a means of strengthening her resolve to fight.

This technique can be resisted by a simple 20% superiority to Nola's offensive stat. However an individual with 50% superiority will not only be able to resist this technique, but with at least 4 points in Analysis (any points in analysis or Battle Analysis count toward this ammount) they will be able to discern how her technique works and use it to draw memories from Nola at will and use them to cause the technique to backfire.
Additionally Nola must be involved with any scene that this ability afflicts, as Nola constantly suffers as a means of strengthening her resolve to fight.
