Listing Information

Beyond the exceptionally refined arts of Kido and Ginto, each race has developed, or has the capacity to develop, unique abilities that take a secondary role to their individual powers. These are the abilities that will be registered and listed here, and displayed in the “Reiryoku/Reishi Abilities” section of your character template (Or “Reishi Abilities”, in the case of Quincy characters).

Ommited Abilities: While a shinigami’s Shikai abilities, a Quincy’s special bow manifestations, or a human’s unique spiritual power may be considered, in a sense, a racial ability, these sorts of abilities will not be listed in this area of the forum, as they are covered by various other areas of the character template. Also, certain techniques or combat maneuvers may not be considered abilities if they are only some physical application of another ability; for example:

[/b] (空蝉, Cicada, referencing their molting): It allows for a movement at great speed leaving an afterimage behind. The afterimage may even appear to have taken damage[/quote]:: This is the definition as listed on the Bleach Wiki, cited 01.02.2011 [/ul]
This ability, a variant of the Shinigami’s Shunpo, is characterized by an effect that cannot be achieved with Shunpo and physical skill alone. This is the afterimage, which suggests that there is a Kido-like effect involved (an afterimage cannot be achieved with physical speed alone; that illustration is more meant to be an expression of the attacker’s perception.)

[/b] (閃花, Flash Blossom): a special Shunpo technique where one moves to their opponents back. Directly attacking and sealing one's "Saketsu (鎖結, Chain Binding)" and "Hakusui (鎖結, Soul Sleep)" in one strike. The movement is so fast that an opponent may not be able to tell whether he was attacked from the front or the back and even an outside observer may find it impossible to tell what the movements are.[/quote]:: This is the definition as listed on the Bleach Wiki, cited 01.02.2011 [/ul]
This would not be considered a Reiryoku Ability, because it does not add to the ability that it is based on, Shunpo, in any way that cannot be reached through physical means. There would be nothing stopping anyone who was skilled in shunpo and zanjutsu from using this ability even if it was not in their profile, as opposed to Utsusemi, which requires that extra kido element.

Restricted Abilities: Certain abilities, either because they belong to specific character groups (Shunko) or require an exceptional level of strength (Gran Rey Cero) will be marked with a ^x - for Restricted. Only highly developed characters with special circumstances will be allowed to take on these abilities, so we request that you don’t come to us and ask for them, even if you think you deserve one; we’ll find you if and when a restricted ability is applicable. Also, some abilities, which are meant to be used by one and only one character (like the legion of personalized Cero variants out there) which will not be listed at all, as they cannot be learned by multiple characters.[/font]

Reiryoku/Reiatsu Abilities - Shinigami

---

Name: Shunpo (Flash Step)
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: The shinigami’s signature movement technique, using extreme speed and acceleration to overcome the eye’s capacity to trace movement. This ability can be used to travel quickly from one place to another, or in combat by a skilled practitioner to get a jump on the enemy. Using this skill repeatedly over the course of a battle is ill-advised, as it does not take long for the opponent’s eyes to adjust to the high-speed movement.

Sub-Abilities:

[/b]:[/color] Utsusemi (Molting Cicada)^x

Name: Konso (Soul Burial)
Class: Utility
Range: Touch

Name: Shunko (Flash Cry)^x
Class: Offensive
Range: Short
Description: This masterful technique combines the physical strength and prowess of Hakuda with the explosive, powerful energy of Hado, which is compressed in a violent whirling force around the body. This energy can be expelled in ferocious bursts from the arms and legs, exponentially increasing the user’s attack power and adding to their attack range.

Reiryoku/Reiatsu Abilities - Arrancar

Name: Cero (Hollow Flash)
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description: A heavy, wide energy blast emitted from the hand, mouth, or some other body part. Cero are highly destructive and can vary greatly from user to user, able to be fired in a thin column or a wide cone-shaped emanation as appropriate to the situation, and specialists in Cero have been known to change their color. The damaging aspects of a Cero are partly heat and burning energy (not fire) and partly physical concussive force.

Sub-Abilities:

[/b]:[/color] Grand Rey Cero (Royal Hollow Flash)^x
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description: A super-powered Cero variant originally claimed by Aizen’s former Espada. This ability uses the user’s own blood as a catalyst for its energies, which grow far beyond the size and destructive power of the average Cero. The concussive physical force in particular is especially increased, to the point of being almost impossible to muscle through on physical strength alone.

[b]Name[/b]: Grand Rey Cero ([I]Royal Hollow Flash[/I])
[b]Class[/b]: Offensive

This ability uses the user’s own blood as a catalyst for its energies, which grow far beyond the size and destructive power of the average Cero. The concussive physical force in particular is especially enhanced, due to the increased physical girth of the attack.

Name: Cero Oscuro (Black Hollow Flash)^x
Class: Offensive
Range: Long
Description: This is the canon final rendition of the Cero, representing the peak of the ability’s sheer strength and destructive power above all else. Only the very highest among Aizen’s Espada were thought to be capable of utilizing this technique, which, in their passing, has left its existence to linger only in myth. Unlike the Gran Rey, Cero Oscuro lacks the physically oppressive girth, instead possessing the maximum explosive potential possible through direct specialty.

Name: Bala (Hollow Bullet)
Class: Offensive
Range: Medium
Description: Similar in appearance and execution to a Cero, Bala are compressed waves of Reiatsu (Spiritual Pressure) that strike with blunt force similar to that of a physical attack. Bala has been observed as being noticeably faster than Cero, but it’s lack of girth and explosive capacity limits its effectiveness as a weapon.

Name: Hierro (Steel Skin)
Class: Defensive
Range: Personal
Description: Using this ability, an Arrancar can compress their spiritual power into the outer extremities of the body, fortifying their skin against cutting and piercing to better suit fighting bare-handed against armed opponents. A small amount of focus is necessary to create and maintain this defense, and while it is generally strong enough to block a sealed zanpakuto, a user who is surprised becomes intimidated may lose some of its effectiveness in battle.

An Arrancar’s sonido is distinguished by it’s rough static buzz, which gives a vague impression of its speed.

Name: Pesquisa (Probe Circuit)
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: Unlike the natural sense for Reiryoku that all spiritual entities have, Pesquisa allows an Arrancar to directly gauge the strength and position of spiritual beings through concentration. Using a wave or current of Reiatsu like a sonar, the user can identify the intensity of a single target’s Reiryoku or the rough location of a large number of spiritual entities in a given area, depending on the focus of the ability.

Name: Garganta (Black Cavity)
Class: Utility
Range: Close
Description: This ability creates a dimensional opening to the Dangai space, used by Arrancar to travel to and from Hueco Mundo. Garganta is characterized by it’s rough, tearing appearance, as opposed to the very structured Senkaimon used by Shinigami.

Name: Chosoku Saisei (High-Speed Regeneration)^x
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: This is a vastly accelerated version of the Hollow’s natural regeneration, which allows limbs and non-vital body parts to regenerate over-time. With a moment or two of concentration, an Arrancar can quickly regenerate a lost limb or body part (with the exception of vital organs) to continue fighting after sustaining a significant injury. Only very rare and specialized Arrancar possess this ability, as it is contradicting to the “tempering” aspect of Shini-Hollow Hybridization.

Name: Ransotengai (Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit)^x
Class: Utility
Range: Personal
Description: Using an elaborate web of Reishi, masterful quincy can create delicate forces to control and manipulate their bodies, even if they are physically crippled, paralyzed, or otherwise inhibited. This ability is extremely difficult to master and not relevant to a healthy quincy’s training, which makes it extremely rare.
