"For something is amiss or out of place... when mice with wings
can wear a human face."
*~Theodore Roethke, "The Bat"*
"The one thing I learned from that farm is this: There is no
such thing as free will. It's a myth. We're all a slave to
something. Even if you don't realize it."
"I'm not a vampire, dumbass. Not every creature with fangs and
bat wings are one of those undead leeches. Though I won't
hesitate to drain you dry if I have to."
"Bats are viewed as many things. Asian cultures see bats as a
good luck sign and the Europeans fear it as evil, hence the
whole vampire thing. In ancient Mayan however, my old man
Camazotz? He's a vampire bat god. His name means "death bat" in
the Quiché Mayan language. Bats are viewed as powerful and
spiritual beings that represents death."
"Sacrifice is big in my birth pantheon. Although those ****
conquistadors depict it as savage manslaughter. Yes, it's messy
at times but you would be surprise about how many people don't
know the true meaning of it."
"Not to sound edgy, but it's hilarious that you mortals believe
that you control darkness at the tip of your fingers while I
crawled out of it's womb and adapted to it just like any other
child of darkness."
"The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!"
"Please, stop embarrassing yourselves. Even I'm feeling some
pity over here."
*V went over to see Nadia tend to Voltan's wounds such as his
gouged out eye thanks to Bartok.*
V: What happened?!
Voltan: *hissed in pain* That flying rat clawed my **** eye out
and left me for dead! That son of a **** is gonna pay!
Nadia: First off, he's not exactly a flying rat. Bats are
relatives to primates and lemurs. Second, it served ya right for
getting cocky. I mean, what did ya expect? His old man is a
bloody underworld bat god for gods sake! You should know since
your old lady is a Mayan deity!
V: I can tell. And by the looks of things, he did something that
made your eye not regenerate. Either it's a sacrificial thing or
some kind of regeneration negation ability.
Nadia: Looks like it might be both, V.
Voltan: Damn it! I swear when I see him again, I'll rip his ****
wings out!
"I made a vow that I would avenge my mentor and family, even if
I have to sacrifice every drop of blood just to make those
bastards pay. That and I might as well give this thing a go."
*~Bartok to Shamala about why he decided to stay at Black Sun.*
"I'm not a sociopath. But I'm not afraid to get my hands bloody
either."
"Oh to be so young and naive. Your godly parents don't give a
damn about you. All you are to them are tools. Slaves if we're
going to be blunt. From weapons to fight their battles to mere
errand boys and girls to gather what they lost or need. And what
do you get in return? Nothing. Just them letting you live so
they can use you again until you die in the hands of some
monster. I'm not telling you how to live your life. But I can
say that you have a lot to live for than to obey some lazy and
arrogant pricks who expect so much from you and give you so
little."
*~Bartok to a group of young demigods who were ordered to stop
the Order of the Dragon and encountered Bartok.*
*During his training in Black Sun, Bartok was stretching as
Darius and Draven enter the training area. Bartok looks up in
surprise and slight annoyance.*
Bartok: What the hell is this?
Draven: It's training day, batsy!
Darius: Shamala wants to make sure that you're actually prepared
for this. Especially for someone your age.
Bartok: And she sent you two here to make sure that I'm fit for
the job?
Draven: Yep! Think of us as your personal trainers. By the time
we're done here, you're gonna be one hell of a warrior. Well,
not as good as me. You still got a long way to go with that one.
Bartok: *sarcastically:* Oh, fantástico (fantastic).
Draven: Eh, don't beat yourself up, kid. We'll still whip you up
into shape.
Darius: Besides, you will at least be strong enough to avenge
your loved ones.
Bartok: Then let's get started.
"Bartok is someone who should not be underestimated. Especially
since he's a Mayan half blood. He understands the meaning of
death and sacrifice but isn't afraid to use either of them in
battle. If I were you, I would keep an eye out... especially if
you **** him off. He isn't the type to forgive and forget."

*Family:*
Father: Camazotz
Mother: Unnamed human (deceased; killed by a leader of a child
farm)
*Demigod Powers:*
Bat Physiology:
~User with this ability either is or can mimic/transform into
bats.
Aerial Adaptation:
~User is able to survive and adapt to extremely high or low air
pressure (not becoming disoriented or deprived of the normal
breathing capacity), and high wind friction; this is accompanied
by an innate immunity to the vertigo and/or fear of heights.
Atmospheric Adaptation:
~The user’s lungs acclimatize and breathe in/on any gaseous
mediums, whether hostile or deficient, users lungs also filter
away non-gaseous substances such as dust, asbestos, etc. They
can breathe toxic gases instead of oxygen and survive mountain,
aerial, or terrene air deficiency, which are among the longest
and most painful deaths the average human can suffer.
Echolocation:
~User can emit sound waves and use the echoes that return from
various objects to locate and identify the objects. Alternately,
they can use ambient sounds to do the same. Since this ability
isn't based on sight/light, Invisibility is useless against it,
as are most forms of Camouflage.
Wallcrawling:
~The user can climb walls and stay unto ceilings. They do not
deny gravity, but adhere to surfaces unaided using various ways.
However in order to truly be "crawling" on the user must be able
to maintain balance for long periods of time, compared to
Wallrunning where the energy is only temporary.
Beings with super human strength or super strong and dense claws
could simply dig their fingers or into a surface, then
propelling upward and digging in again, generating the effect of
wall crawling. In some cases, the user may simply be able to
make use of any handholds they find, no matter how small, to
wall crawl.
Those with Reptilian Mimicry could have microscopic setae on
their hands and feet like a gecko, or suction pads like a frog.
Hibernation:
~The user can enter hibernation, a state of inactivity and
metabolic depression/suppression characterized by low body
temperature, slow breathing and heart rate, and low metabolic
rate. User may be able to slow the metabolism to the point of
effective death.
The purpose of hibernation include conserving energy, safety
reasons, healing, etc.
Wing Manifestation:
~User has or is able to manifest wings that grow or are attached
to the body allowing flight. They may also protect from rear
attacks or detach and re-grow for quick getaways.
High-Speed Flight:
~User can fly at incredible speeds.
Bat Swarming:
~User can disperse their body into a swarm of bats, scattering
into large area while retaining control over their fragments
instead of staying in relatively cohesive form and reforming
from any part.
Sonic Scream:
~User can emit/generate extremely powerful scream of a high
amplitude for a variety of purposes.
Sound Immunity:
~The user is immune to the effects of sound waves and can act
unaffected by sonic based attacks, making their bodies
unaffected by sound-based intrusions.
Blood Empowerment:
~User becomes stronger, faster, more durable, etc. when they
come into contact with or are near blood, possibly unlocking
abilities related to the affinity and enhancing their existing
powers. Some users may be able draw sustenance from the blood or
even slow or stop aging.
Blood Consumption:
~The user can absorb (usually by ingesting) the blood and/or
bodily fluids of others for either sustenance, offensive,
defensive, or regenerative purposes
Death-Force Manipulation:
~User can create, shape and manipulate the essence of Death,
which is present in all mortals throughout the universe and is
the opposite power of Life-Force Manipulation; whereas
Life-Force is the essence which allows life to flourish,
Death-Force is that which causes things to wither, rot, weaken,
and eventually die. They can sense and manipulate the essence
that allows Death, Destruction, and Decay to exist throughout
the universe, allowing them to control decayed matter or to
request assistance from the dead.
Death Inducement:
~User can kill anyone and possibly even anything using varying
means, either instantly, slowly over time, after certain
conditions are met, or after a certain period of time has gone.
May be used by touch, at a distance, simply willing it to
happen, or performing certain ritual.
Night Empowerment:
~Users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. during the
night, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and
enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able draw
sustenance from the night or even slow or stop aging.
Darkness Manipulation:
~User can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. By
itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total
darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be
channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light
and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the
beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of
total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's
self through massive distances via shadows, etc.
Darkness Adaptation:
~User is able to survive and adapt to dark environments
(especially nighttime conditions), with a circadian cycle
programmed for nighttime activity, heightened senses to
compensate the absence of light, and perhaps darker coloration.
Replication Teleportation (via shadows):
~The user is able to clone themselves and teleport themselves
and clones to elsewhere or switch places between themselves
and/or clones.
Shadow Skill 1: Silent Assassin:
~The user's scent, sound and presence are all masked by the
shadows. The only way to detect him is to see him as the shadows
can't make the host invisible. This is useful in stealth
missions.
Shadow Skill 2: Shadow Meld:
~This ability lets the user use a death wraith shadow meld to
travel around.
Shadow Skill 3: Shadow Heal:
~The user can heal himself while in the shadows. The user can
also draw in shadows to heal his wounds.
Shadow Skill 4: Shadow Strike:
~The user can use shadows to attack an opponent directly. He can
even use this in pure darkness.
Shadow Skill 5: Shadow Spear:
~This allows the user to create solidified shadows. This is
mostly for creating weapons. The weapons are fairly durably, but
can be broken by a strong enough holy attack.
Shadow Skill 6: Black Coffin:
~This uses the power of darkness to create a large box around an
opponent and crush them with overwhelming gravitational force.
This can either be broken with intense light, or overwhelming
physical strength. This can only be used twice per battle as it
takes too much out of someone to use.
Bartok usually use this skill on npcs but he will also use this
for interrogation mostly.
Shadow Skill 7: Shadow Substitution:
~This allows the user to use shadows to replace himself. The
opponent attacks and the user's body is replaced with a solid
shadow substitute which breaks apart upon the attack hitting it
as the user reappears in a burst of shadows nearby, usually
behind the opponent.
Shadow Skill 8: Dark Mist Trap:
~The user creates a fog of dark mist around the battlefield
where he can solidify parts of the mist to try and crush an
opponent. The mist would also make breathing difficult for any
non-shadow users.
Shadow Skill 9: Infinite Darkness:
~It uses the power of shadows to completely blind whoever is
caught in it, which the user can fire off his own attacks at
them while they're blinded.
Shadow Skill 10: Ultimate Fear:
~This skill uses the power of darkness and illusion to manifest
that which the user fears most. The illusions can do damage to
the person caught in the trap and the only way to break it is to
overcome that fear or to use a holy item on oneself while the
illusion is active.
Shadow Skill 11: Way of Binding:
~This creates 5 rods out of shadow and attach to an opponent.
One in each limb and one in the chest to stop their movement. It
takes immense physical strength to break out of this move, and
can only be done by one that understands how his shadow powers
work. However, when in this skill, the user has to release it
before he can use any other shadow skills.
Shadow Skill 12: Shadow Mana Shield:
~This uses the power of shadows to draw in dark mana in order to
create a shield to reflect an attack. Obviously one has to know
the attack is coming in order to use this skill in time to block
an attack. The shield absorbs the attack and then reflects it
back at the user amplified by dark mana. This can't reflect holy
attacks or light attacks because of the purifying nature which
purifies the mana used in this move.
Shadow Skill 13: Dark Corruption:
~This skill let's the user use some of his shadows to insert his
power into someone to corrupt them. The skill can be made to
built over time, making it more effective. This skill is used to
alter the opponent in order to make them a user of shadows like
the user. This one is usually reserved for the user's allies, as
he can use this to give them new power permanently. This was
based on Darkness's ability to put darklings into people.
Shadow Skill 14: Darkstep:
~This skill makes the user lighter as the darkness under his
feet lets him move much faster, or allows him to jump higher.
This is evidenced by a black light that comes from his feet.
This also increases the users kicking power dramatically.
Shadow Skill 15: Shadow Body:
~This allows the user to temporarily turn his body into pure
shadows. However, if intense light is used on him in this form,
it will revert him back to his normal form, and might damage him
depending on the severity of the attack.
Shadow Skill 16: Dark Soul Cutter:
~This ignites a blade of pure shadows. When it strikes someone,
the energy explodes in the wound, causing damage that can't be
regenerated unless it is purified with holy energy or struck
with a flash-bang/source of intense light.
Shadow Skill 17: Shadow Clone:
~This skill let's the user make solid clones out of Shadows.
These clones can only use the skills of the user with limited
variety. The more shadows clones that are created with this
skill, the less durable they are. Most keep the number of clones
below 5 to keep them at their strongest.
Shadow Skill 18: Shadow Familiar:
~This skill allows the user to create familiars. They can be
simple shadow creatures like snakes, bats or other things, or it
can take the users imagination and make something truly dark and
evil. However, the general rule is for every familiar, the
larger the familiar, the weaker it is as more shadows are needed
to maintain it.
Shadow Skill 19: Shadow Sense:
~This gives the user the ability to sense others around them
through the shadows. More advanced users of this can find
someone in their area using the shadows. This can also be used
to spy on someone should the user be able to connect their mind
to the shadows.
Shadow Skill 20: Corrupted Light:
~The user can corrupt light to a small degree. While the user
can't handle the power of flash-bangs, he can corrupt smaller
sources of light, drawing it's power into the shadows. Corrupted
light will always appear a light purple. Holy objects can purify
the light back into normal light in order to stop the attack
though.
Sacrificial Power:
~User can perform powers of extraordinary feat through
sacrificing of anything, like objects, elements, souls, beings
or oneself.
Bartok normally use blood of his enemies or his allies (if they
are willing) for things such as empowering himself or others.
*Spirit Energy User Abilities:*
Demigod Spirit Energy Manipulation:
~Godly spirit energy is something unique to deities and
demi-gods. For the most part, the spirit energy may depend on
the deity and pantheon, with some like the Dragonball Pantheon
having more godly ki than spirit, or some gods having godly
spirit energy that is holy in nature while demon gods have
unholy spirit energy natures. Some gods are even neutral in
nature. This depends solely on the god and pantheon. Deities
spirit energy is usually far stronger than most mortal beings,
and can use stronger spirit energy powers. However, they do have
less potent spirit energy, meaning they use more power. When
gods and demi-gods use godly energies, it's often to use other
special godly abilities, such as children of Zeus using
lightning and wind abilities. For the most part, each godly
nature is different, and hard to predict, though most have far
stronger spirits than most other creatures. However, the main
downside is that gods often rely on worship from humans to draw
power from, which can weaken deities if their followers don't
worship them. Over time, this makes some deities stronger,
though some deities might not even get stronger from it and just
not draw energy. Deities are the hardest to predict because of
the so many pantheons and gods that one has to go on an
individual level. Demi-gods are also somewhat difficult to
predict, and usually at least one other nature due to being only
half deity. This depends on their heritage and whatever other
spirit nature they have. Some are able to fuse human spirit
energy with godly spirit energy to create their own hybrids of
energy.
Bartok is one of those demigods who can fuse his godly and human
spirit energy to create his own hybrid of energy. His godly
parent is Mayan, meaning that the Mayan pantheon are about gods,
animal spirits and pyramids. The pantheon involved several
aspects of nature, astronomy and rituals. Most of the Mayan gods
represented a form in nature. Bartok's father is no different
since his father is Camazotz. Camazotz means "death bat" in the
K'iche' language. In Mesoamerica, the bat was associated with
night, death, and sacrifice. So Bartok's spiritual energy may be
similar to creatures such as death wraiths or grim reapers.
Bartok can also use his spirit energy as a fauna type spirit
energy.
Fauna Energy Manipulation:
~User can manipulate, control and absorb the energy released
naturally by animals of all kinds. Bartok can use the fauna
spirit energy of a bat. Meaning that he has the spirit energy of
one.
Demigod Spirit Energy: Draining/Replication Spirit Energy:
~An ability that he learned when he was in the Order of the
Dragon. As a being who is half bat. This spirit energy is not
elemental in nature like some of his powers or like any from the
Mayan pantheon, but it is more based on one of the powers that
he and his father have due to them being bat creatures that have
powers similar to vampires. The spirit energy is dangerous to
others since it not drain their life force, but also whatever
powers they have. Bartok can touch or bite into peoples' skins
and drain them as well but he can also focus his spirit energy
if he either wants to be stealthy or if he doesn't feel like
touching people.
Unique Spirit Energies/Positive and Negative Spirits:
~Different races have different spirit energies, which often
have different effects. However, there are two main aspects of
spirit energy use in battle. The first is using one's own spirit
energy and it's unique effects. This depends on the race (as
each race is different), and one must figure out the spirit
energies they can use. Hybrids may not have as strong energy in
one specific race type, but usually they often have unique
energies that blend whatever races they have to create one that
is as strong as others. (See previous section for races' general
unique abilities). Some even have unique spirit uses, such as
some dragons developing dragon hunter spirit energy unique to
them or developing advanced spirit energy types. The other main
aspect is that some races learn to utilize positive and negative
spirit energies in their attacks, using them for different
things. The most common thing associated with this is the
Darkfire's elemental abilities which use positive and/or
negative spirit energy in combination with elementals. However,
it is possible to use this on it's own to grant a spirit users
attacks a holy or dark attribute. This is more effective for
some races than others, as some races positive/negative balance
doesn't work the same way as some, like holy vampires having
purely positive energy or angels and demons not having a light
and dark side but having a pure holy or demonic soul depending
on the race.
Unique Attacks/Spirit Abilities:
~Depending on the race and type of attacks one will specialize
in, most spirit users have their own specific unique abilities.
For the most part, each race has their own spirit effects, such
as demons having stronger, more concentrated attacks and a
natural unholy element to their spirits, or angels having a holy
light effect in their spirit energy. Each race tailors their
effects to their abilities their own way, and depending on the
techniques they learn, may develop some other techniques. There
are plenty of techniques that were adapted by other races, such
as Kierran Black's spirit lightning being based on a Seiji's
cethran energy they utilize in battle, or arrancars originally
being the result of attempting to create soul reaper style
hollows. There are plenty of uniqueness available depending on
the individual and the types of energies they have. This is most
evidence with hybrids as they often have more than one energy to
blend together. And on top of learned skills, it is possible for
some spirit users to be born with specific abilities and
enhanced powers depending on the person, such as one human who
was born with a spirit that had a natural ability to destroy
demon energy using his unique human spirit energy. However,
because each person is different and manages their spirit
different, this makes spirit training harder than some other
energy type abilities, because unlike certain energies like mana
and chi, spirit energy is different depending on the individual,
training and race. This makes it harder for each person to
specifically train their spirit energy, sometimes having to
imitate other techniques and modify them as they might not be
able to use them in their true form, such as no other race being
able to use ceros as effectively as hollows.
Spiritual Aura Attack/Defense:
~Almost all spirit energy users develop their spiritual aura,
gaining an enhanced spirit aura. The first use of the spiritual
energy aura is a passive defense, that can defend the user while
active. Similar to those like the Darkfires who use elemental
auras, spirit energy users can use their spiritual auras as a
passive defense to dampen blows and can even be used to attack
if the user can focus their aura into attacks. This is a fairly
standard ability of those that use specific powers in their
aura. And depending on the race, different auras will be
different, such as demon aura being far stronger and more
potent, or angels having a holy light spirit aura. Usually, the
amount of spirit power an aura has depends on a number of
things. For example, larger bodies are able to channel stronger
spirit energy, as larger bodies generate more spirit power.
Depending on the race and heritage, some creatures have higher
enhanced auras with specific effects, and might have unique
abilities using their aura. For example, Tartaros Kindron
Darkfire was able to use his aura to empower those with his
demonic spirit, or certain angels can use their aura to purify
areas of impure influences. Again, the biggest influence of
effects and abilities of an aura is what race the person is and
specific spirit abilities they gain or inherit as a result.
Spirit Aura Physical and Supernatural Amplification:
~Similar to abilities like mana amplification and ki
amplification, spirit energy users also learn to use this power
as well. Those with the use of spirit energy can amp their
abilities the same way, using spirit energy to boost their stats
and supernatural abilities. With it, most spirit energies can a
passive amp to their abilities that makes ups their stats
without them having to do anything, but users can also use
spirit energy to amp themselves more when they need to, powering
up with spirit energy through their body to amp their body's
abilities. One such method involves powering up energies in the
body with spirit energy, creating more powerful energies. It was
through this method that the aura abilities were created and
certain other special spirit based amplifications. This
amplification only works as long as the body has spirit energy
to use to amp the body and powers, and without enough of it,
this amplification is not usable.
Unique Spirit:
~Most spirit users have their own abilities they develop once
awakening their spirit power, and can develop their own spirit
abilities. This is something that most spirit users are aware
of, and strive for so that they can develop new abilities to
grow spirit energy user abilities and gain new abilities as
other energy users develop new abilities. Spirit users often
have unique abilities dependent on who they are, what talents
they are born with, and what kind of spirit power they have. For
example, aura users all have some sort of unique semblance they
possess, which is an example of unique spirit abilities. Some
can even develop their own abilities using unique variations of
their power, such as one who could use a spirit sword that was
able to cut through space and time, or those like Kierran Black
who created techniques like spirit lightning that was originally
unique to him, but eventually was copied and used among other
spirit energy users. Most of these have their own strengths and
weaknesses that are dependent on the user.
Spiritual Vectors:
~This is a technique used by spirit energy users, in which they
project their spirit from their backs. When the spirit's power
is released from the back, it's released as tendrils that come
out as extensions of the spirit that can be used to attack
opponents. These tendrils are typically very hard to see, since
they are clear. Some races are able to use different shapes,
such as one race who makes the tendrils into arms with hands at
the end of the arms. Depending on the person, some people can
also change the form of these vectors, such as turning the
tendrils into shields to block attacks, or can be used to do
things like create axes or other sharp weapons out of the
tendrils to attack opponents. These vectors can be used to grab
and throw objects, attack opponents, or they can be used to fire
spirit energy attacks. This power is an extension of the spirit
using spirit energy, and is a power that can be used to deadly
affect by those who use this power. Those with this power can
also use this to slice through objects and crush objects when
used with enough spirit energy, requiring users to be able to
handle putting a lot of spirit energy into this power. This is
one of the main attacks of a spirit energy user, as they are
able to use this in conjunction with other spirit energy attacks
as well. These vectors can be used to attack opponents or trap
them if wrapped around them, but must remain connected to the
body. If removed, the tendrils not only dispel, but the user
takes spiritual damage to their soul that can weaken them if the
tendrils are using enough power. Depending on the race, some
spirit energies can be seen by people more easily, such as a
death wraith spirit energy being black like shadows, or a demon
spirit energy being crimson, orange or some form of demonic
color.
Spirit Lightning:
~This technique was originally used by Kierran Black, but during
a fight, another spirit energy user copied it and created other
abilities using spirit energy similar inspired by this
technique. the main technique uses change in energy form, in
which the energy is shaped to have the same consistency as
lightning. This lets someone use a spirit energy change of form
to make their spirit like a current of electricity, in which it
can be used to attack people and through physical contact can be
used to electrocute people with his spirit energy in this form
by using their spirits as conductors. This power works just like
lightning, but since it is spirit energy, it bypasses lightning
immunities, which is why some lightning users have learned it as
well to try and compensate for those with immunities to
lightning as an alternative to corrupted lightning. This power
can still be avoided like lightning, but being dispelled must be
blocked by other energies, rather than with powers like ice or
water since this power is spiritual and not elemental. Other
than that, this can be blocked and defended against like normal
lightning.
Burning Spirit:
~One of the skills developed by spirit energy users where they
designed this power so that they could create something akin to
certain elemental attacks. This one was created by using a
change of spirit form to intensely vibrate spirit energy,
generating immense heat so that the spirit energy becomes
extremely hot and using change of energy form to make the spirit
like a flame. This particular attack, if not's not obvious, is
meant to be a fire-like attack, and designed to be used like
fire. This can be used to attack with spirit energy fireballs,
create explosive spirit energy attacks and be used to burn
people through physical touch. Just like spirit lightning, this
bypasses elemental immunities, being able to burn people with
spirit energy rather than with actual elemental energies. This
power is counterable just like fire, except that the fire cannot
be put out under normal conditions, and has to be blocked or
dodged. The energy can be dispelled like energy by those that
can dispel energy, but wind powers or smothering the flames
doesn't put out the flames. However, the positive side is that
this attack doesn't do as much damage as typical flames and
doesn't spread to much beyond it's initial impact.
Cold Soul:
~As one might have guessed, this one was the opposite of the
burning spirit, in which those who use this are able to use this
power to generate extreme cold, similar to that of a vengeful
spirit using their emotional energies to focus their spirits,
usually focusing negative emotions to generate a coldness that
can be used to freeze an area. When used with their spirits,
they are able to use this to generate a spirit energy so cold
that it is able to attack like ice. Depending on how it's used,
it can be used to do things like create ice-like constructs to
attack opponents, fire blasts of spirit energy that can freeze
people, or freeze people on physical contact. This power is the
last of the three spirit energies designed like elemental
powers, and is designed to be used like ice. While the ice
generated is ice and can be dispelled like normal ice, the
spirit energy used is extremely cold and can be used like ice,
but can't be dispelled like typical ice like how something like
lightning would. This power is the opposite of burning spirit,
and those with it can use it to counter this and vice versa. But
those without must block this energy with other energies, or
avoid this energy.
Spirit Gun:
~This attack was one of the main projectile attacks created for
the style where the user fires a blast of spirit energy at an
opponent with explodes on impact. Depending on the user, there
are different levels of spirit gun techniques. Spirit gun is
typically the base technique, where the user fires a blast of
spirit energy, big or small depending on what they want to fire.
Bigger spirit guns are able to do more damage but take more
energy, and smaller shots can do less damage but are better for
the spirit energy. This technique also has another variation,
which is called Spirit Shotgun where the user focuses the spirit
gun in their hands and blasts it outward using their fingers to
split the blast into multiple attacks, generating an attack that
can be used to hit a group in front of the user, being an
advanced spirit gun attack. Highly advanced users can also use
the spirit lightning, burning spirit and cold soul in
conjunction with this (if they are skilled enough) and can use
it to empower their spirit gun with more power, or granting the
energy a special effect, such as spirit lightning spirit guns
exploding in a burst of spirit lightning when it hits a target.
Of course, as one might expect, the larger more concentrated
spirit guns are harder to block, but strong enough defenses can
block this ability, and this ability can still be dodged like
normal if one cannot dispel the energy normally. This cannot be
combined with spirit vectors, and the spirit vectors cannot fire
this attack on their own, as the energy must be focused through
the hand, or through the fingers depending on what the person
wants to do.
Spirit Missile:
~This is a variation technique of the spirit gun, where the user
creates a spear-like attack to try and attack the opponent. This
attack is designed to try and pierce opponents, where the attack
is able to generate one or a group of spear like projectiles.
Each user is able to form the spirit projectiles as they want,
such as forming them as knives, as sharp spears, or as arrows,
depending on what they want the form to be. The effect is still
the same though where this technique is designed to spear
opponents. This can also be combined with the spirit lightning,
burning spirit and cold soul to grant the spears additional
effects depending on what's used. This can also be fired from
one's spirit vectors as well, as this was a projectile attack
designed to be used by spirit vectors. This attack is fairly
adaptable and those who use it can change it's form to better
suit what they want the attack to do or what they want it to
look like. This is a fairly basic attack, but still quite
effective. Users can fire one or fire a group, though firing
more or making larger spear projectiles costs more power to use.
And while these are designed to pierce through armors and
shields, they can still be dodged, or opponents can use cover to
try and make sure they don't get hit.
Spirit Sword:
~This is a variation of the spirit gun, where instead of being
fired at an opponent, the spirit energy is focused into the hand
and creates a sword of spirit energy the user can attack with.
This spirit sword is able to be used like a sword, or the user
can change the form of the sword into another weapon, such as a
spear or knife. Users can also change the form of the sword if
they want to do something like extending the sword, or changing
the form of the sword, as this technique is another technique
that is pretty adaptable. This technique can be used in creative
ways, such as some who change it like a chain whip, or some who
change the length at will to make it extend and try to spear
someone. This technique is pretty adaptable, being able to be
used a variety of ways, and depending on the race, this can also
have specific attacks, such as demonic spirit swords also doing
demonic energy damage, or dragon spirits being able to do
elemental spirit energy damage. Some people even develop special
sword techniques as well.
Severing Soul Cutter:
~This is a variation of the soul sword designed to attack the
spirit rather than the body. This attack works similar to the
spirit sword, but instead of cutting the body like normal, this
is designed to attack the spirit of the user, doing damage to
their spirit. While they take no physical damage from this
technique, this technique can weaken those struck with it as
their soul is damaged, and may be unable to properly control
their energies. Some races spirits can also use this technique
to use different effects, such as death wraiths being able to
use this to attack ghosts and spirit type opponents and do
darkness damage to one's soul, which is what the death wraith
version of this technique was originally designed for. This was
originally designed to be used against hostile spirits, so that
this technique could be used to take on spirits that would
normally not take physical damage. This technique also goes
through solid matter, and cannot be used to block attacks or
projectiles unless they are spirit based in nature, since this
is made to attack on a spiritual plane rather than a physical
one.
Spirit Beam:
~This was designed to be similar to those that use ki beams and
like hollows who use ceros. This attack fires a beam of spirit
energy, very similar in nature to a cero, at the opponent to try
and damage them. Depending on how the spirit beam is fired, it
can be fired in a few ways, similar to how some hollows have
created their own variations of ways to fire ceros. The two main
ways are usually firing a large beam, and a thin beam. Firing a
larger beam does more damage to opponents, but takes more power.
Firing a thin beam is designed more for piercing opponents,
which requires less power but a more concentrated beam. There
are other ways to fire this attack as well, such as small
controlled bursts, or concentrating it different ways. And
depending on the race, some spirit beams will have special
effects, like a demon spirit beam being far more concentrated
than normal and doing demonic energy damage, or a dragon spirit
beam also being elemental in nature. This can also be combined
with the burning spirit, spirit lightning, and cold soul, in
which the power can be used to amp the beam's abilities.
Spirit Summoning:
~This particular ability lets one summon things hidden in their
spirit, specifically things like their spirit animal, or the Pai
Zhua animal spirit. Users are able to tap deep into their
spirits and summon constructs of different manifestations of the
soul, and can summon those manifestations using spirit energy in
a manner similar to how Pai Zhua summon their spirit animals.
Depending on the skill set, some people can summon multiple
creatures from their soul by embodying different parts of the
soul, and depending on the skill set, some can create their own
constructs by giving their power to a certain part of their soul
and generating a spirit-based familiar of their own. This power
is designed to be very similar to Darkfire elemental familiars
in nature, begin controlled very similarly. The summoned spirit
creatures are dependent solely on the person and what is in
their spirits, with certain races spirit constructs also being
able to attack using unique spirit energy. And in addition to
being able to attack opponents, the spirit constructs are also
able to use spirit energy attacks to try and attack opponents.
As one might expect, dispelling this requires one to dispel the
spirit energy that makes them up, or overcoming it with other
energies (which can destroy it).
Spirit Item Possession:
~This ability lets a user use their spirit energy to empower
objects around them. This is similar to other spirit users who
use this, in which objects, weapons and armors can be empowered
in order to use the spirit energy that empowers the object,
giving the object a life of it's own by giving the item it's own
consciousness. Depending on the weapon's creator, some items or
weapons can actually be turned into intelligent weapons this
way, or some weapons and items can just have a consciousness of
their own, which is most common with making weapons. Some
weapons that have been made in this way develop their own
abilities and their own ways of communicating with their owner,
and have their own ways of growing. Object and weapons empowered
by this gain the spirit power of the person who empowered it,
which includes the race's spirit power, such as a death wraith
spirit energy being able to be used to make a shadow user
weapon, or an angel making a weapon a holy weapon by empowering
it with their spirit. The weapon or item empowered still uses
the same powers as the person who empowered it to an extent, and
that means that they have the same weaknesses, such as demons
and angels items being weak to the opposite force.
Spirit Wave:
~This is one of the strongest abilities of a spirit user,
designed as one of the most advanced spirit techniques one can
use. Only those who have mastered the use of spirit energy can
use this power. When used, this amps the body with spirit
energy, granting a higher level of focus and power. In addition,
the spirit power is also amped through the body, creating a
powerful wave through the body that empowers it even more. This
technique, when used by a master of spirit power, can use this
to attack opponents with highly enhanced power temporarily, or
be used to fire a large wave of spirit energy at an opponent.
When used, this can also be used to purify others of impure
influences or purify them of any type of control over their mind
and body. This is a very powerful technique, but it exacts a
very heavy toll on the body, doing more damage to the body as
long as the technique is active, and overuse can weaken a user's
ability to use spirit energy. And while this is a powerful
attack, it can be dispelled or blocked by more powerful
energies, but usually more when it's fired in a wave at an
opponent.
Spirit Share/Spirit Bond:
~This particular ability was modeled after certain other arts
where users share space in their minds, but instead of doing so,
users are able to bond a being to their spirits. This is useful
for bonding other spirits to one's soul if they want to create
this bond. When used, a user can bond to just about any kind of
spirit, from spirits of other people, creatures and races, or
they can bond to other types of spirits like spirits that
control the world's elements or spirits that can be summoned
from the spirit realm. When used, this creates a bond where the
two spirits are able to share their power, and empower each
other as long as they stay bonded together. The bond can only be
broken by an experienced spirit user, and while bonded, the
lives of the two are tied together, so if one dies then so does
the other.
Soul Energy Steal:
~This is a forbidden art among spirit energy users. Not just
because soul eaters are seen as dangerous, but because this
ability has a price for using it. This ability lets a user
absorb the spirits of others after they've been weakened or
killed, and lets the user absorb spirit energy from others, and
taking souls if enough essence is absorbed from others. This is
a forbidden art because of the price it takes, as once someone
starts absorbing the spirit energy of others using this
technique, they must continue to feed on spirit energy or they
will age rapidly until they die. However, when used, this lets
someone absorb not just the spirits and energy of those they
take from, but allows the user to gain the other person's
abilities to include fighting styles, special abilities and
supernatural abilities. This also restores one's youth if they
are not in their prime, making this more useful to older users
who want to use this to absorb the power of others to restore
their youth. However, they must keep doing so constantly, or
they will age rapidly until they die. Absorbing some spirit
energy can grant someone temporary enhancement using one's
powers and abilities, but permanent gain of the abilities
requires the full taking of the soul. This is an effective soul
eater power that lets one gain the abilities more easily, but
the price can take a toll on others, as once the price takes
it's effect, this art cannot be undone.
Mafukan:
~This is a technique designed by a spirit user who had no outlet
for their extra energy, and instead created a technique to
empower an object and let it absorb extra spirit energy from the
user passively. This technique is perhaps the ultimate spirit
user art, in which this art empowers an object close to the user
to absorb the user's extra spirit energy. Over years of storing
energy, the object becomes powerful, keeping a storage of spirit
energy within in order to keep the power stored away for
emergencies. The item empowered can be anything the user wants,
but must keep it with them. The main ability of this is to store
the energy and then be able to release it later. When used, this
can be used a few ways, such as empowering someone or oneself,
revitalizing and empowering them beyond their typical limits, or
using this to even revive someone who has died (but this takes
years of gathering power before this can be used). Some use this
as a backup to bring themselves back to life once if they die,
or they may use this if they are in a desperate situation that
they need the extra energy. Some even use this to train, using
it to weaken one's abilities and absorb the extra energy so that
they can get stronger more quickly, in which they use this to
keep their true power hidden. However, when used to weaken
someone and let them grow more quickly, they cannot release
their full power until the energy of the item is filled again,
making this a semi-permanent weakening. This technique requires
a long time of charging before it can be of any use, and until
it does, this technique is useless. Even experienced users
cannot overcome this as this requires a lot of energy to even be
able to use. However, users can speed this up slightly by
feeding their item more spirit energy, sometimes cutting the
time down it requires to make this usable. And once used, all of
the power is used in this, so using it and trying to save some
of the energy in it is impossible, making this something the
user must be sure they want to use before doing so.
*Passive and Combat Skills:*
Demigod Enhanced Physical Stats:
~Bartok is a tough enough fighter on his own, but combined with
his demigod enhanced stats such as his regeneration and his
feral fighting styles, he is a deadly opponent.
Combat Fighting Style: Fu Jow Pai:
~Fu Jow Pai (Chinese: 虎爪派, literally "Tiger
Claw System"), originally named "Hark Fu Moon" (Black Tiger Kung
Fu System), has its origins in Hoy Hong Temple. The system was
modeled after the demeanor and fighting strategy of an attacking
tiger. The striking movements are lightning fast, agile and
powerful. Techniques unique to Fu-Jow Pai are ripping, tearing,
clawing and grasping applications.
Combat Fighting Style: Eagle Claw:
~Eagle Claw is a Chinese martial art known for its gripping
techniques system of joint locks, takedowns and pressure point
strikes, which is representative of Chinese grappling known as
Chin Na. The style is normally attributed to the famous
patriotic Song Dynasty General Yue Fei. Popular legends states
that he learned martial arts from a Shaolin Monk named Zhou Tong
and later created Eagle Claw to help his armies combat the
invading armies of the Jin Dynasty.
It was passed down until the Ming Dynasty when the monk Lai Chin
combined the style with another form of boxing called Fan Zi.
Thus, the style took on long range strikes and aerial jumps.
During the Qing Dynasty, the military instructor Liu Shi Jun
became known as the modern progenitor of Eagle Claw and taught
many students. His student Liu Cheng You later taught Chen
Zizheng who was invited to teach the style in the prestigious
Chin Woo Athletic Association during the Republican era.
Enhanced Thievery:
~The user is more elusive than the average thief. She is able to
blend in with the shadows, slip into tight spaces, avoid
detection from guards, and escape without leaving behind any
evidence.
Combat Specialist:
~The user has an encyclopedic knowledge in hand-to-hand fighting
styles; therefore understanding and analyzing opponents style of
combat and flaws in the opponent's attack and defense. He can
also use attacks that can automatically knock down the opponent
or use the strength of the opponent to his favor.
The user has a vast knowledge of the opponent's body and their
limitations, have an incredible perception of opponents and the
users surrounding areas using it to his or her advantage, and
can copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and
understand how a special attack works in matter of minutes. This
power can be enhanced by the users experience and improvement of
skill. Masters of this abilities can counter or detect flaws on
opponents Special Attacks.
Weapon Proficiency:
~User with this ability need only to pick up a weapon before
they instantly become proficient in it. The first time they pick
up a sword, they can spar with masters, the first time they use
a bow, they can hit bulls-eyes. Even alien, magical, or other
weapons that they should not understand comes naturally to them.
Tactical Genius:
~User has a genius level of strategy and tactics. This gives
them the ability to come up with plans that will guarantee
victory. This level of tactical ability makes it impossible for
onlookers to even understand how exactly victory was achieved.
Some of the users have an intellect to match their strategic
know how. Still some of their most outrageous victories could
only be explained by throwing out logic. Example: a user with
this level of tactical ability could come up with a plan that
would enable a ragtag army outfitted with sticks and stones to
defeat an elite military fighting force with advanced weapons
and air support.
Enhanced Assassination:
~The power to possess the skills to locate and slay targets like
an assassin. The user can perform the art of assassination
better than the average killer, she is able to dispatch her
victims without as so much as a struggle. The ways to do this
range from something complex and high-finesse like mastery in
stealth, strategically planned scenarios and highly disciplined
martial arts to something simple-yet-effective like brute
strength and raw speed to overwhelm the targets.
Tracking Evasion:
~The power to hide from followers and pursuers and avoid total
detection/discovery. The user can’t be tracked down, all the
traces of her passing disappear or are ignored: fallen hair,
blood, skin particles, etc. will dissipate into dust and no
scent is given off. She does leave behind a trace such as broken
sticks or disturbed leaves, but to the less observant eye, it
would only be said to be wild animals.
Survival Intuition:
~The user has intuitive understanding in survival, allowing them
to actively prepare for emergencies, including possible
disruptions in social or political order, on scales from local
to international. Survivalists often acquire emergency medical
and self-defense training, stockpile food and water, prepare to
become self-sufficient, and build structures (e.g., a survival
retreat or an underground shelter) that may help them survive a
catastrophe.
This also includes clusters of natural disasters, patterns of
apocalyptic planetary crises, or "Earth Changes", anthropogenic
disasters, general collapse of society, financial disruption or
economic collapse, global pandemic, or widespread chaos or some
other unexplained apocalyptic event.
Predator Instinct:
~The user possesses predatory instincts, allowing them to become
masters of hunting and tracking. One with this ability can
discern numerous factors of a situation that make them a master
of pursuit and capture. This includes what move a foe will make,
where they are headed (if the user is in the foe’s proximity, or
knows the foe fairly well), as well as how to effectively cause
a foe to play right into one’s hands in combat/pursuit.
Hunting Intuition:
~The user possesses extraordinary talent and instinct in/for
hunting all things. They can track anything under any
conditions, sense the weaknesses of their prey and exploit them
and finally kill or capture their prey.
Spirit Combat Styles:
~In addition to other fighting styles individual users learn,
there are also fighting styles that can be learned using spirit
energy. Among them are fighting styles like Pai Zhua, Satsui no
Hado, and Soul/Psycho power. Those that learn these styles are
able to weaponize their soul energy in normal combat, not just
using it as an amp, but also using it as a fighting style of
it's own. Depending on the user, some can learn certain styles
with proper training depending on what the user wants to learn,
or can find the ability to learn. Fighting styles that use
spirit energy in physical combat tend to have a few things in
common. The first is that the soul energy is often weaponized in
some way to use against opponents in direct combat. The second
is that those who use this often use emotions in order to use
this power. The best example is the soul and psycho powers,
which are two opposite fighting styles using sides of the soul.
The psycho power sacrifices all good in the soul to feed the
dark side of the soul, powering itself on negative emotions
while soul power focuses positive and often sacrifices the dark
side of the soul to power the good side of the soul. Then there
are other styles that use certain powers to feed others, like
the forbidden Shaolin lion style that feeds anger to grow the
power of the spirit without sacrificing any part of the soul.
The last thing is that those who use this can often fire spirit
energy attacks in physical combat, or focus their combat into
projectile spirit energy attacks that they can use in physical
combat. For the most part, these styles are all individual and
have their own weaknesses, with one of the major ones being
those who can feed on spirit energy, in which makes these styles
seem like lunch to those that feed on soul energy.
Spirit Combat Acceleration:
~This is a combat acceleration technique that was modeled after
soul reaper flashstep or arrancar sonido. This method uses
spirit energy to speed up the body's movements, and uses this to
amp the body's ability to move so that opponents can move fast
enough to keep up with fast supernaturals. This combat tactic
lets users speed themselves up by concentrating the amp of their
spirits into their body, usually projecting it into the limbs so
that the limbs can move more efficiently. This technique
requires precision movement, careful coordination and the
ability to process things at higher speeds, since this is a
dangerous combat maneuver that can easily result in someone
hurting themselves, like running themselves into things if they
can't stop process what's going on fast enough and can't stop
before they hit something. This particular style is often used
by more experienced fighters used to moving fast through combat
stepping methods or other speed based abilities, since they are
used to moving fast. Using this is very difficult, but if used
properly, the skill can prove very useful in combat. Users,
however, must be careful when combining this with combat style
stepping methods, as sometimes the combination can be too much
speed to handle.
Spiritual Defense Iron Skin:
~This particular passive skill was based on the arrancar art,
hierro, which uses spirit power to strengthen the skin to
increase defense in battle. This power works similar to dragon
skin in how it operates, and helps dampen attacks so that they
do less damage. The degree of this depends on the person's
spiritual power, and how much energy they are able to generate,
in which this power is trained and concentrated using energy
normally wasted when expelled from the body. This skill's
strength depends on the person, with some having stronger
ability to use this and some having weaker abilities. Abilities
like regeneration and other hardened skin abilities make this
ability weaker, since power is usually diverted to other
methods, but those with just this power can use a stronger form
of this than those without things like regenerate. Trying to
pierce one's defense requires more power, and the stronger the
technique, the harder it is to pierce someone. This acts like a
natural defense to those with this power, and helps them defend
against attacks to a degree. And depending on the race, they can
gain defense against certain techniques, such as death wraiths
spirit energy being able to also weaken shadow attacks that
might be used on them. But just as they may gain strengths, they
also gain weaknesses, like death wraith versions of this skill
upping defense against shadow abilities, but this technique can
be overcome in death wraiths far more easily with concentrated
light attacks and blessed sea salt.
Spirit Protection Soul Strengthening:
~This ability allows one to use their spiritual power to protect
their souls, strengthening their souls against possible
opponents that might want to try and take their souls. This
ability uses spirit energy to strengthen their souls hold on the
body, and is a passive ability that prevents users from letting
their souls be drawn out of the body through opponents like soul
eaters and soul energy stealing opponents. Usually, this
technique draws the spiritual power inward, allowing users to
also defend themselves from spiritual attacks to a degree,
protecting the soul from things that attack on spiritual planes.
Soul Binding Weapons/Attach Item to Soul:
~Thanks to certain supernatural races, there are two main powers
people use for their spirits when it comes to weapons. The first
is a soul bound weapon, where certain races are able to awaken
soul bound blades depending on the race. The two most well known
races that use this are soul reapers, death wraiths, and
arrancars. Those who are able to do this usually gain a weapon
specific to their race, usually the weapon depends on the
individual and the race, with some races having specific uses
for their weapons, such as arrancars zanpakuto's controlling
their released form. The second ability of this power is the
ability to attach one's weapons to their soul, being a power
designed so that supernaturals can have connections to their
weapons that allow them to be better fighters, and lets them not
only use their weapons more effectively, but lets them control
and summon/desummon their attached weapons at will. This second
power is usually for those that want to attach other weapons
that aren't soul-bound weapons to oneself.
Positive/Negative Spirit Balance:
~In order to tune their spirit, every person must find their own
spiritual balance. Almost all beings, with certain exceptions,
have both positive and negative portions of their soul. In order
to use spirit energy, one must learn their specific balance of
power and then balance their positive and negative (assuming
they have both). Some races can skip this step, like holy
vampires, who have one pure side, though they still have to
become aware of how their spirit energy is set up before using
it. This makes it where every one who learns spirit energy learn
to balance their positive and negative power, making it
difficult for opponents to unbalance them, such as someone
trying to infect someone's dark side of their soul to power it
up. This is most evident with those with harder to control
abilities, as this helps them more easily control their
abilities, as well as giving them experience at using their
positive and negative energies. Since some races are able to
pick and chose which sides of their souls they want to use in
certain abilities, this power is pretty necessary.
Spirit Energy Training:
~Those who want to train in spirit energy do not do so in a
traditional sense. Those that train in spirit energy cannot
simply train their physical bodies and call it a day, and
require specific training. Those who train their spirit energy
have to not only train physically, but they also have to push
their spirit energy beyond it's limits, training the spirit to
generate more power on a consistent basis. When training, most
have their own ways of doing so. However, while things like
meditation can help train to some extent, the true training
comes from using spirit energy and pushing that power beyond
it's limits. There are many ways to do this, but those who train
in it have to train harder than most people who use typical
energy do. This may not be a problem for some who have high
levels of spirit, but those that do not have to train much more
harshly, making this a good path of training for those that want
to become powerful, but is difficult in the beginning for those
that don't have as much affinity for spiritual abilities. Since
most people do start small, massive training is often necessary
to be able to use spirit energy at all, let alone grow. Some
don't like the sheer amount of work people need to put into this
training, but some use it for just that purpose, as some feel
that training the spirit and the body can help them grow as
warriors.
Soul Healing:
~Those with spiritual energies are able to use their spirit
energy to heal souls that have been damaged to a degree. Those
with permanent soul damage or souls that have taken heavy damage
are usually weakened or they may be affected physically by it,
but those with spirit energy are able to heal that damage
depending on their spiritual natures. Some are able to do this
more easily than others, such as angels and holy vampires who
specialize in more positive powers. Though races like demons and
death wraiths who use darker sides of their souls may have a
harder time doing so. However, they can also use their spirit
energy to remove corruption and tainting of souls and spirits to
a degree, with some races being better at it than others. Those
with this can also heal the body as well, making this able to
heal just as easily as other healing abilities, and having more
range to healing souls and spirits.
Soul Resonance:
~Those with spirit energy are able to harmonize with other
spirits, being able to use this passive technique to tune their
spirit powers to combine their spirit power with another
supernatural. For example, those with living weapons or spirit
bound weapons have to use this to be able to wield their
weapons. However, those with this technique are able to tune to
others, combining their powers with each other more easily. This
can result in special techniques being usable that normally
wouldn't be able to be used, such as a demon and angel combining
their spirits to create a unique spirit attack that blends their
powers together. The powers usable depend on those tuning to
each other, and the powers of the other person. Some are even
able to use this with special abilities to transform certain
abilities as well, such as combining spirit energy summoning
with an elemental power to change the combined form into an
enhanced form as a more powerful construct. This is different
for everyone, and some may have easier times tuning to people
than others.
Astral Projection/Commune with the Dead/Astral Possession:
~Those that are in tune with their spirits are able to project
their spirits when they desire through astral projection. This
power lets a spirit user project themselves, mostly so that they
can interact with the dead and with spirits. Those with this are
able to go to the Veil where spirits are usually found, or the
user can attempt to go to the Spirit Realm, which is a realm
where natural spirits reside, if they are able to perceive the
spirits. This lets users commune with the dead, and with
spirits. Of course, the biggest use for this is to interact with
spirits, but also if one is trying to interact with a dead
spirit, it is much easier to do so in astral projection than in
physical form. Those who are in astral projection are also able
to possess those that are not immune to being controlled, in
which usually this is best done when someone is asleep. Of
course, those immune to psychic abilities and other forms of
mind manipulation won't be affected.
Soul Reading:
~This lets a spirit energy use their tuning to the spiritual to
read the souls of others, usually allowing them to sense the
presence of other souls around them. This could be as simple as
sensing the presence of someone close by, or this could include
sensing things like ghosts that are not usually physically
present. This is similar to many supernatural sixth senses,
except that it lets a spirit user interact with more things
spiritually than most mortals would be able to. Not only can
someone sense the spirits of those around them, but they are
able to tell what presences are around them by the soul and what
kind of soul they are sensing, since every race has different
spirits. This skill is also immune to typical abilities to hide
one's presence, since the user can sense the soul of people,
which bypasses sensing one's presence. The only way to hide from
this skill is to suppress the soul's energy, and make it where
users cannot sense the soul of the person.
Inner Spirit/Inner World Sense/Protection:
~Like soul reapers, spirit energy users are able to focus inward
in order to go into their spirit/mind's inner world. This is
similar to how soul reapers, arrancars and even the Darkfires
use this art, in which they are able to use this to control
their minds completely. This includes being able to do things
like being able to suppress certain parts of the mind, as well
as being able to emit certain emotions despite not actually
feeling them. Most who use this art are able to fool even
psychic people, in which they can control what psychic people
are able to read, and can even use that to their advantage. Most
who use this art are immune to psychic abilities that influence
the mind if they are skilled enough with this art, though the
main use of this is for those that want to use the attach item
to self power or unlock a soul bound weapon, in which this
training is necessary in order to connect to one's own soul to
do so. In order to use this, one has to keep focus of their own
mind, and make sure they don't lose control lest they be
overwhelmed and have difficulty regaining control.
Combat/Spirit Empowered Enhanced Physical Stats:
~Every spirit user is unique and has unique abilities due to
whatever race they are, or what other abilities they have.
Depending on the user, all have enhanced physical abilities
usually through heavy training. This includes increased
strength, speed, durability, mobility, flexibility and/or
stamina. One's physical stats are usually unique to the person,
with everyone having a different balance depending on how they
train. For example, one who focuses on speed and durability
might be hard to catch, and tough to finally kill, and may focus
on that aspect. For the most part, it depends on the training
and what the user wants to focus on. However, if one focuses on
one or two specifically, they do gain stronger stat boosts, but
other stat boosts are not as high. So someone training in speed
and durability might not gain as high a strength boost. Though
most fighters typically figure out ways around this fact, and
find ways to focus their weaker stats into better ways to use
them so they don't have glaring weaknesses.
*Transformations:*
Full Power Spirit Form: Blackness Spirit of the Bat:
~This is Bartok's own enhanced spirit form, in which he releases
the full power of his spirit to gain a highly enhanced mode. In
this mode, he becomes slightly more bat like, and the fuzz of
fur that appear on his limbs becomes dark brown. In this form,
Bartok has a powerful spirit aura, which naturally channels his
gloomy spirit thanks to his demigod bat spirit energy. This form
is a highly enhanced form he can use to fight opponents by
channeling his full potential. While not as powerful as his full
bat form, this still lets him keep up with higher level
supernaturals that can use transformations. Thanks to Bartok's
spirit release ability, he is able to take this form in battles,
temporarily allowing him to boost himself and use his abilities
fight opponents. However, like other spirit releases, this power
is only temporary, and he cannot stay in this form forever.
Full Bat Form:
~Although he can shift at will, especially partly, Bartok can
transform into a giant bat. He doesn't use this form as much but
it does increase his demigod abilities. He normally can control
himself in this form but he can go feral if he's not careful.
*Weaknesses:*
Spirit energy users still have race weaknesses of whatever they
are. If one is something like an angel or demon, they will still
have typical angel or demon weaknesses. Most spirit users can be
killed just like whatever race they are, and unless stated
otherwise, most races can be killed if their heart or brain are
destroyed. Each race has it's own strengths, yet has it's own
weaknesses. Spirit users are no different. Typically, soul
healing can heal injuries of the users, but this is not a
passive regeneration, meaning that one has to concentrate in
order to use it. Of course, spirit energy users still take
damage from attacks just like any other creatures.
Spirit energy users have a harder time training spirit energy
than most other energy users. This is due to the fact that they
have to push their spirits to the limit, which usually means
pushing far beyond the body's own physical limits. As such, this
training may add more strength, but it is much harder to keep up
with than most other energies. Spirit users are able to grow
just like typical fighters and get stronger as time goes on, but
their training is still very hard on them. Those who are just
starting out, or don't have as much experience tend to not be
able to draw on as much power unless they have a naturally
strong spirit aura, while elders tend to be able to have access
to stronger and more abundant spirit energy, but often times, by
the times they reach this stage, they are often old and their
bodies don't always keep up with their spirits.
Spirit energy users might take spiritual damage instead of
physical damage if they over strain their spirit. For the most
part, spirits are much more durable than bodies are due to the
soul being eternal (under most circumstances), but that doesn't
mean the spirit is invincible. Those who over strain their
spirit too much may do irreparable damage to their spirit,
damaging their ability to use spirit energy. And if a user has
their spirit energy turned back on them, it is possible that one
can do spirit energy damage rather than physical damage. This
means that control is typically required for most spirit users,
as if they continue to draw power even after not having any,
they can do damage to themselves, a mistake some newer spirit
energy users tend to fall into as they think they can push their
spirit further than they think. This also means that it is
important to know the limits of one's own spirit and not push
too far beyond it.
Just like some other energies, drawing too much could risk
killing the user. It's bad enough that trying to draw too much
spirit energy can damage a user's spirit, but if one still
continues to push beyond that point that they take spiritual
damage, they can actually kill themselves if they take the
energy that binds their soul to their bodies, in which they can
accidentally permanently separate their souls from their bodies,
which can result in either death, or the soul being unable to
return to the body and the body running around without a soul,
which is often never a good thing. This usually requires pushing
far beyond one's limits, something most people would be aware of
by this point if they are out of energy, but this typically is
similar to when other energy users start drawing on their vital
life force, in which they shorten their lives or even die if
their life forces are reduced to absolute zero.
All spirit energy is generated by a certain part of the soul,
known as the soul chain. This is a part of the soul that
generates spiritual energy, and interacts with the body. If
enough damage is done to this part of the soul, the user will
not be able to generate soul energy temporarily or permanently
depending on how bad the damage is done. This means that this
part of the soul is something that every spirit user must
protect with their lives or they could risk being made to lose
their power completely. To destroy the soul chain permanently is
difficult, but with enough power and energy, it can be done.
This means that this is typically the greatest weakness in most
spirit users, and they must make sure that opponents do not do
too much damage to this part of the soul lest they lose their
ability to generate spirit energy. If permanently severed, there
is typically no recovery, with the only known cases of spirit
energy recovery being one having hidden spirit power that they
have yet to unlock in which unlocking can restore the spirit
chain, however no amount of soul healing or spirit fixing up can
heal the spirit chain once it is permanently severed. Typically
almost all races have only one spirit chain, and it is almost
unheard of for anyone to have two and impossible to have more
than two.
Just like all energy users, spirit energy can only be used if
there is spirit energy to draw from. Once a user runs out, their
spirit energy abilities will not be usable. And as stated,
trying to use them after running out of spirit energy can be
very disastrous. Typically, spirit energy is counterable like
other energies, with other energies like chi and mana being able
to counter like normal. Of course, as one might expect, aura
breaker weapons are also able to dispel spirit energy like any
other energy, making aura breaker weapons another useful counter
against spirit users.
Unlike other energy types, spirit energy users are limited to
how much power they can output by the size of their body.
Smaller opponents are not able to put out more spirit energy at
once than someone who is much larger, for better or worse. While
this doesn't make those with bigger bodies tougher, it does mean
that those with smaller bodies tend to not being able put out as
much energy quite as quickly as they can. This also means that
larger bodies are also able to generate more spirit energy than
those of smaller statures. This means that larger creatures like
dragons, and even orcs are able to generate much more than most
creatures. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, as
there are strong people of smaller statures with highly enhanced
auras. The question usually becomes a question of if the smaller
people can fight smarter to take out the larger people.
As a demigod, oceanstone can obviously harm him along with
stilled silver and life based weapons. His bat like abilities
have some disadvantages such as sensitive senses and being able
to be blinded by bright light. It also doesn't help that he
isn't as powerful in the day like he is at night, being the half
blood child of the night. Those immune to sounds won't be harmed
by it. Same goes for those who can nullify it. Obviously, light
counters darkness. Although it sounds cliche, his main source
whenever it comes to power or if he just needs it for other
purposes is blood. He doesn't care where he gets it from. If he
is cut off from any kind of blood, he can't use it for anything
and may be force to use his own, depending on the situation.
Blessed weapons from the Mayan pantheon is able to harm him,
especially light and life based weapons. Bartok can still be
attacked when he's hibernating as long as he is killed off
completely like complete incineration.
*Weapons:*
Wrist Blades:
~These are his main weapons in close combat. These are built for
him since he is a fast and agile fighter. These weapons are aura
breaker weapons along with them being made out of mostly stilled
silver. The weapons are able to harm both mortals and immortals.

Night Bow:
~A spiritual bow made from the night sky. Bartok gained this
weapon after passing a brutal trial in his homeland which is now
known as Tikal, Mexico. This weapon does powerful darkness and
stellar damage since it forms arrows once Bartok uses the bow,
mainly towards light users.
*Personality:*
Bartok is known as a pessimist to a lot of people, but he does
have a soft spot, especially when it comes to children. His
years of living in a child farm after losing his mother has
molded him to be blunt, ruthless and untrusting toward any
government of both mundane and supernatural worlds. Bartok is
pretty cunning with words, as he established the thoughts of
hating and defying 'fate', to others. Although he detest such
things as the government and the gods, he does agree with his
father's ideology about death and sacrifice.
Like any other half blood who went through hell and are
neglected by their immortal parent, Bartok suffers a severe case
of PTSD due to his time at the child farm and watching his
mother die right before his eyes. He also seem to have a case of
insomnia, causing him lack of sleep and making him sleep at
night at times. Although he does take medication and does seek
help which is making things better, he still suffers from it. He
is shown to be a leader, banding together quite a lot of people,
which worked in Black Sun's favor as for gathering allies. He
also seem to enjoy reading books from comics to non fiction, as
he is normally seen reading something from high places such as
the ceiling.
*Bio:*
Bartok was born in Tikal, Mexico. Unfortunately for him, it
didn't last too long since his mortal grandfather owed some
dangerous people money, thus leading them to kidnap Bartok after
the kidnappers killed the mother by bludgeoning her in the skull
with a metal pipe multiple times. The traumatized boy was only
three years old when all of this happened and when he became a
victim of child trafficking. He was sold to the highest bidder
and sent to a child farm in a secluded place somewhere in
Upstate New York.
Growing up in a child farm was hellish for him and the children
there. Although they were given a proper education, they were
also given little food and water along with making them sleep on
the floor. For some reason, Bartok slept in the boiler room with
two other kids. He didn't seem to mind it but he kept the scared
kids there company. When Bartok turned twelve, things got way
worse for the children there. Some were sent to do illegal and
dangerous jobs such as drug trafficking, prostitution, and even
child trafficking while others stayed by the farm. Realizing
that his crush and friend is sent to do prostitution, Bartok
decided to follow her after his run with trafficking some ****
from Texas to Mexico.
That night was the night when everything change for young
Bartok. When he found out that his friend was taken by some old
creep (the man was in his late 30s but that's not the point), he
began to silently follow them, not knowing about his natural
abilities being different from any other human, and brushed it
as it's just the results of child labor at the farm, which isn't
false. When he got there, he silently broke into the house and
saw the old man locked his friend into the basement with a few
other young girls. He heard the man that his friend is new and
for them to play nice. Hearing the fear whimpers and faint
cries, Bartok angrily crawled up to the ceiling without even
thinking and followed the assailant to the kitchen. When he
realized what he just did, he almost panicked to the point that
he almost blown his cover. Silently taking out his shiv after
recollecting himself, he slowly crept up to the man and attacked
him from above. It wasn't pretty, especially since the man is
stronger than Bartok thought. After dropping his weapon and
taking some blows, Bartok escaped the man's grasp, grabbed his
shiv and plunging it in the man's neck. Bartok removed the shiv
from the neck and watch the creep bleed to death. That was when
he smelled something sweet. He realized that it was the blood.
Without thinking, he put his tongue on his bloody shiv and
licked it. His heart skipped a beat. That was the best thing he
has ever tasted. That joke that his friend made about blood
tasting better than the farmer's wife's cooking came to his head
which made him laugh a bit. That's what hit him. The girls!
After Bartok released the girls from the basement, the girls
thanked Bartok and ran out. His lady friend also thanked him by
kissing him on the cheek. Once Bartok got cleaned up, the two
fled the scene before the cops arrived. The one thing Bartok
learned is that cops are never a good sign, no matter what
anyone says. After finding a safe place in an alley, Bartok
explained and even showed his friend about what happened.
Although they were both unsure, Bartok was happy that his friend
didn't run away or called him a freak. Despite the two not
wanting to go back to the farm, they agreed to go back there one
last time in order to save their other friend along with as many
children as they can. Bartok let his friend go on his back piggy
back style as he runs as fast as he can back to the farm. When
the two got there after taking a hidden short cut, it was too
late. The farmer escaped after killing the children by poisoning
their drinks with cyanide and apple juice along with the wife of
the farmer who was shot in the head for calling the
police.Before the cops can even see the two kids, they ran away.
Years later, they were found by a member of The Order of the
Dragon and were brought in so they can have warm food and fresh
clothes. That was when Bartok found out that he's a half blood,
who's father is the Mayan bat god, Camazotz. Mixed emotions
swirled inside the boy which lead to anger that Camazotz knew
what was happening and yet he let his family suffer, thus
beginning his hatred towards him and the gods. Though he only
joined the Order so he can help take care of his friend. Things
were going well until the day that Vendetta Zolnerowich and her
allies came by to destroy the Order. And it was a terrible time
since his friend, who became his girlfriend a few years ago, was
pregnant with his child. Bartok fought valiantly against his
enemies, thus earning a rival from the same pantheon he was born
in. Unfortunately, things got hectic when Vaati betrayed the
Scarlet Sisters and Esdeath literally spreading chaos, which got
his girlfriend killed along with the unborn child. Enraged,
Bartok tried to attack them but was fatally wounded and was
forced to go hibernate somewhere in an abandoned cave.
When he woke up and fully healed, he found himself around Black
Sun territory. Confused, he went over to see the leader of Black
Sun and decided to go talk to her. After a discussion, Bartok
joined Black Sun so he can avenge those he cared about along
with making Esdeath suffer for her crimes. Although he trained
hard, he did prove to be a valiant warrior and assassin when he
killed the farmer who was hiding out in Siberia.
