"This is my life. Only I decide what I will do with it."
Enemy: You outsmarted me?! You're just a mortal child!
Zoe: And you're just a ugly idiot so I guess we're both shocked
and disappointed.
"I did learn how to speak English thanks to Emi, but I feel more
comfortable talking in my native languages which are Russian and
Slavic."
"A wise friend of mine once told me that every being deserves a
chance at making a life for themselves. Your life is your own,
no matter who created you."
"As human beings, we're not like most species. But what makes us
special is our potential and the power in our souls which makes
us strong. That's what makes us stand out from other beings."
"This power was suppose to kill me when I was in my mother's
womb. The doctors tried everything to stop the curse. Then on
the Winter Solstice, I was born. My sister told me that I was
screaming my lungs out. They called me the Miracle Child.
Although I was happy that I survived, it didn't feel that way
when I lost my parents years later."
"I'm not the one to play dirty, but those who do will catch
Hell. I've learned from the best on how to deal with assh*les
like them."
Eyes spark with emerald green electricity "Fine. Hard way it is
then. Don't say that I didn't warn you when you end up in the
hospital."
"I don't like killing. I don't like taking away the life of
someone who once has family and friends. Who once has a life.
But I will do it if I have no other choice or I'll let others
deliver the final blow if there's no other choice. Otherwise,
I'll just do what my cousin and sister does and beat some
literal sense into them. That usually works."
Meeting Underworld Zoe for the first time
U. Zoe: So this is my alternate self. Damn, you're too young for
me to fight.
Zoe: Then I'll grow up and get strong enough to face you. Just
because I'm human, doesn't mean that I'm automatically weak.
I'll prove it to you like I've proven it to the other jerks who
thought otherwise.
U. Zoe: I'll be waiting then.
Megan: Kid? What are you doing here?
Zoe: Miss Balalaika sent me. She said that you guys might need
the extra help since the person you're after might be from my
universe.
Megan: Well if that's the case, hop right in then. We need all
the help that we can get. Plus, the guys will be happy to have
you along anyway.
Zoe: Yes! I won't let you guys down. gets on the ship
Megan: I know you won't. She says more to herself with a small
smirk on her face as she follows Zoe
When a enemy Laughing Coffin member taunts a Hotel Moscow member
to fight, Zoe stops the Hotel Moscow member from advancing
Zoe: Don't! That's what he wants. Your people need you. I'll go
and face him.
Hotel Moscow member: It's too dangerous on your own.
Zoe: We don't have much time. We need those weapons. begins to
run off
Hotel Moscow member: He will cut you down!
Zoe: Not this time!
Zoe: Big mistake, Kano.
Zoe's eyes and markings ominously flash emerald green. A loud
scream can be heard along with a loud and scary roar.
Kano: What the hell was that?!
Zoe: A family member.
"The reason why you're not regenerating is because we took you
away from your stronghold. It wasn't that hard to teleport you
from Point A to Point B. And there's no way that you'll regain
your strength here and make this place yours. Napoleon and
Hitler learned the hard way about why this country is to not be
messed with. In Russian: Welcome to Mother Russia, assh*le."
~Zoe to a fire giant before she killed it.
"You may be human but your spirit power is stronger than you
think. Possibly one of the strongest in the multiverse. But that
also means that you'll have to learn to fight off hollows and
dark spirits as a spirit user, not only to defend yourself but
to defend those who can't."
~Zaz Shadow-Black to Zoe when he was training her on how to use
her spirit powers properly.
"The kid may be young but she became a part of the Exiles family
ever since she was eight. Underestimating her will lead you flat
on your ass... and she's the nice one in the group."
~Exiles Kendrix on Zoe Zolnerowich
"Zoe may be young and a human, but she's one of the strongest
humans I have ever met. Ever since she was just a small child, I
knew that she would be one of the many heroes who will spark
hope in not only her home world but in many others as well. She
is more than my pupil. She's one of the closest people I ever
have as a family."

Appearance:
Zoe appear as a average human woman with brown skin and black
hair that is either puffy/curly or straight depending on her
mood or the weather. Her eyes are dark brown but they change to
a paranormal foggy green when she's using her spirit powers
along with ancient Slavic markings/symbols appearing on her
limbs. Zoe is not big on famous or fancy clothes and normally
wears something casual or simple due to her growing up on a farm
at a young age.
Zoe rarely goes on missions such as stealth but she does wear a
thief outfit with a hood that covers her face pretty well. Zoe
has a scar around her left ankle from the shackles she was
placed on from a vampire that kidnapped her when she was brought
into the London/Apocalypse world at the age of 8. Zoe hides this
scar the best she could along with trying not to even think
about it due to the trauma she went through. Only a few people
knew about this, two of them were the ones who rescued Zoe (Jon
Talbain and Mystique).
Powers:
Impervious to Electricity:
~An invisible electrokinetic aura surrounds the Zapper, making
him, and what he is wearing (body armor included), completely
impervious to electricity, including magical electrical attacks.
Most other energy attacks do only half damage, including lasers,
plasma and particle beams; magic energy attacks, other than
electrical, do full damage. So do magic melee weapons,
explosives and projectiles!
Sense Electricity:
~The psychic can sense or feel electricity and pinpoint its
exact location as well as the approximate amount of electricity
at the source (tiny, small, big).
Range: 350 feet. Duration: Two minutes of extreme sensitivity so
he can pinpoint every source of electricity in the area.
Electrical Aura & Radiate Electricity:
~The psychic can seemingly cause himself to become engulfed in
crackling electricity. In reality, this is an electrical aura
around him. Nothing on the Zapper's person is actually touched
or affected, so nothing is damaged. Furthermore, the character
can move around without difficulty. However, the electrical
energy will cause a jolt to anything it touches and causes the
hair of anybody within six feet of the character to stand on end
from static electricity.
Range: Self. Duration: 30 minutes or 10 combat rounds
Electricity Absorption:
~The power to draw electricity/energy from devices in the
immediate vicinity which can be used by the mutant character to
heal damage. Even if the character is fully healed, he can still
use this ability to drain electricity from machines, engines,
generators and electric power lines! The Zapper can use this
ability to drain the energy from the machine, to make it
temporarily useless (until recharged) or to reduce the
energy/power.
Range: Touch or from up to 100 feet
Electrokinesis:
~Electrokinesis is the power over, and comfort with Electricity.
You manifest each of the following abilities:
Electrokinesis – Resistance: Electrical/Ion Resistance:
~As a minor action, you attune your body to Lightning and Ion.
Electrokinesis – Discharge: Electrical Discharge:
~You charge the particles in the air in a close burst, damaging
all creatures and shorting out non-military grade electronics
until the start of your next turn.
Electrokinesis – Bolt: Bolt Attack:
~You fire a bolt of lightning from your hands/eyes/**** at a
target within 200 feet inflicting electrical ion damage.
Electrokinesis – Sense/Manipulate: Sense/Manipulate Electronics:
~You can feel the presence of electrical devices within 125 feet
and cause them to turn on, turn off, etc, with a thought.
Electrokinesis – EMP: Electro-Magnetic Pulse:
~As a full round action you can create an electromagnetic pulse
which will disable all electronic devices/weapons/robots etc
within a close 50 feet burst. This works on anything which runs
on a power source/generator, e-clip etc. Expect this ability to
be ineffective against Borgs and certain other shielded targets.
Psychic is vulnerable to attacks for one round.
Telekinesis:
~Psychic can move objects with his mind or create force fields.
He can also crush and tear objects or beings apart.
Brain Scan:
~The psychic character can scan the brain to locate and identify
both physical and mental aberrations, damage and impairment,
including bruises, tumors, aneurysms, diseases, mental blocks,
hypnotic suggestions, phobias, obsessions, traumas, magic
insanities, magic curses, and similar mental blocks and
aberrations. A brain scan does not reveal anything about the
character's personality, memories, skills or thoughts. A brain
scan is necessary to remove mental blocks, magic insanity and
other forms of insanity.
Neuro-Touch:
~The neuro-touch causes a neurological disruption to the brain
with several possible results.
Stumble:
~The victim loses control over his legs for just an instant,
stumbles and loses one melee attack/action.
Jolt:
~The victim receives a sudden jolt as if struck by a light
electrical charge and suffers very minor electrical damage. The
jolt is usually used as a warning or to catch somebody's
attention.
Momentary Stun:
~The victim is momentarily stunned and can barely move for seven
or eight seconds.
Penalties: Loses the initiative and half his melee attacks for
those seven or eight seconds.
Disorientation:
~A sudden shock to the system causes the victim's vision to blur
and he feels disoriented. Speed is reduced by 50% and the
character loses one melee attack/action.
Paralysis of Arms:
~A sudden shock to the system causes the arms and hands to go
limp. Nothing can be picked up, held or carried. No "hand" to
hand attacks or operation of machines is possible using one's
hands and arms. The victim can only take evasive action or
attack using psychic powers, magic or voice commands.
Ball Lightning Attack:
~The zapper can collect electrical energy and create a large
ball of electricity that can then be hurled at a target for
massive electrical damage.
Corrupted Lightning:
~This power turns lightning against other lightning users. This
cannot be absorbed by other lightning users as it does internal
damage to their lightning powers if they try similar to
corrupted light and corrupted darkness. However, this also works
in reverse in that if someone ever used this power on Zoe, she
would be vulnerable to it as long as it's not her own power
being turned on her.
Red Lightning:
~This is a fire based lightning. This combines the power of fire
with the lightning as it can light on fire anyone who is hit by
it. This can be countered by ice powers. It can also be
amplified by other flame powers, but only normal flame powers
not things like holy flames.
Blue Lightning:
~This lightning is a special ice lightning that combines the two
elements. Those that are hit by this take ice damage, and the
injury is frozen. While this stops bleeding, it does a lot of
damage specifically to fire users as it uses two powers that can
counter other fire users.
Green Lighting:
~This power uses the power of acid lightning to do acid damage
through lightning. This is powerful, but aside from being used
as acid on something, it's still used like any other lightning.
This is useful when fighting robots as it does two types of
damage to them, lightning and acid damage.
Chidori/Lightning Blade:
~A technique that was taught to her by Heidi Darkfire. This
technique uses lightning to form a concentrated blast of
lightning that can be used to pierce almost anything. While this
attack can pierce almost anything, it takes Zoe some charging
time before the attack is fully ready to use.
Chidori Stream:
~This ability creates an immense amount of electrical energy
around the user as she can use it to push anyone back away from
her. This move can either protect her, or be used to force
people back. The technique is very powerful, and unless one is
immune to lightning, they can't get close to Zoe when she uses
this, though she uses different kinds of lightning in case
normal lightning doesn't work. This can also be used to create
an electric shield temporarily to stop bullets or swords for a
short time. But this is another attack she can only use in 5
second bursts before having to recharge her lightning energy.
Energy Redirection:
~The user is able to reflect energy and energy-based attacks
from their bodies and release them in a more desirable
direction, often back at the source.
Psychic Navigation:
~The user can trace where targeted objects/subjects are located,
but can't identify a specific locale unless they are highly
experienced or in short range. Can tell if target is
progressing. They have psychic compass within them, feeling a
magnetic pull towards the direction to the target.
Another version is that the user can create a mental map of an
area to prevent getting lost or quickly reach the exit.
Wild Imagination:
~Even when Zoe grew up, she is known of having a very wild
imagination. She has been exposed to so much paranormal and
psychic energy that every molecule has been over saturated. This
has affected her creative portion of her brain to actually bring
anything that she imagine hard enough to life. The creatures
that Zoe imagine will not disappear until destroyed or they've
fulfilled their imagined purpose.
Sixth Sense:
~Zoe can see, sense and talk to the undead like zombies and
spirits.
Psy-Reading:
~Zoe can touch any object and tell what it is, where it has
been, who has and does own it, and how it basically works.
Immune to All Mental Powers:
~Zoe is completely immune to all or any kind of mind control due
to being exposed to so many paranormal beings from a young age
along with having zapper powers. This also makes her immune to
other psychic or mental abilities such as illusions both
scientific and paranormal. The only way mental powers will
affect her is if she allows it such as letting someone to read
her mind, communication through telepathy, etc.
Blank Mind:
~Zoe is able to clear her mind to either calm her mind or so
psychics won't see what's she really thinking. This is also very
helpful in battle.
Intangibility Cancellation:
~The user can bypass/negate the Intangibility or fluid-like
nature of beings to deal damage to them. This ability allows the
user to harm beings with a fluid-like, gas-like, or any other
malleable form that normally would allow them to be unharmed by
conventional physical attacks. This bypass can also be
transferred/imbued into objects such as weapons to assist the
user in combat.
Strong Heart:
~Users possess a very potent heart both spiritually and
physically letting them survive most heart diseases. The user's
heart also possesses a grand form of power, allowing them to
survive most forms of corruption or whatever seeks to harm it.
Strong Soul:
~User has a strong soul that is equivalent to the power of many
souls which comes in handy in situations that tests one's
spiritual fortitude and grants spiritual abilities. The user's
soul is unable to be bound by anything and lives free without
any need of dependence. It is also strengthened by the user's
desire to get what they want, no matter the cost.
Tranquil Fear:
~The user can control their fear while retaining tranquility and
are able to face what they're afraid of with the relentless
courage of a warrior while gaining the vigilance and precaution
of a survivor. If users master their fear they can develop an
intuition of fear itself, using it to their own benefit and
induce fear into others.
The user can act in perfect clarity even under the most extreme
kinds of horrors or traumatic experiences, allowing them to
endure the extreme mental stress, achieve temporary
fearlessness, be immune to fear manipulation and resistant to
torture using fear.
Unlike Fearlessness or Fear Masking, the user doesn't have an
apathy to fear or just be courageous alone, but rather they
embrace their fears with courage in order to master it with
complete emotional equilibrium and tranquility.
Basic Spirit Energy User Abilities:
Spirit Energy Manipulation:
~Obviously, the first step to learning spirit energy is
identifying one's spirit energy and learning to tap into it.
Once one has identified their spirit energy, the user has to
learn to utilize their spirit energy in order to create attacks.
There are many ways to use spirit energy, which usually starts
out as learning to manipulate it into constructs, attacks and
even learning to focus it into physical attacks. This skillset
is designed around this spirit energy, and using it to fight
opponents, whether they are humans, supernaturals or even
deathly threats like hollows and dead souls (which this skillset
was originally designed to combat). When one thinks of specific
spirit energy skillsets, most people think of soul reapers,
hollows and arrancars or they may think of holy vampires, and
some might even think of aura users who use aura as a type of
spirit energy. The good thing about this is that any race can
learn to utilize this as long as they have a soul (not just
being limited to races like soul reapers, hollows and dead
souls), and doesn't require "affinities for spirit energy" to
utilize since everyone has the ability to focus spirit energy.
In order to use this, one only needs to train their physical,
mental and spiritual stats in order to more easily concentrate
their spirit energy. While some may have weaker spirit energy
than others, any one with a soul can learn this power. The only
affinities that make a difference is that some may have unique
affinities for certain spirit user skills that make them easier
to use, such as one human who had a particularly strong spirit
sense and was able to use it more easily once he learned how to
focus spirit energy. Spirit energy has become another energy
user type people can learn, and is a skillset that can also be
learned alongside others, such as one universe, the human
Darkfires connection to their spirit energy could lead to them
gaining spirit user abilities. For the most part, this energy is
unique dependent on the race, but each race's spirit energy has
some major counter in addition to normal energy counters (such
as other energies like mana and ki being able to combat spirit
energy), such as death wraith spirit being weakened severely by
concentrated light attacks. For the most part, countering this
works like countering any other energy otherwise.
Human Spirit Energy:
~Humans have the purest spirit energy of any race, as they have
no invisible natures and their soul is pure spirit energy with
no unseen effects. This makes human spirit energy very powerful
when concentrated properly, and means they're not as affected by
nature effects of other races spirit energy attacks. For
example, demons and angels using unholy or holy natures
respectively won't do as much holy or unholy damage to humans.
Human spirit energy is often pretty plain and able to be used
against far more enemies than more specific spirit energy types.
Also, human spirit energy is far more adaptable than most other
races spirit energy, allowing for easier combination with other
energies or other powers due to humans being more adaptable as a
species. Among more unique spirit natures, some humans have done
things like gaining divine spirit energy from tapping into
divine natures through meditation and there are also ancient
shamans who have gained purifying spirit energy. However, while
they are more adaptable and more pure in spirit energy, they
lack the power some other races have, but have an advantage in
being able to take on almost any kind of creature with their
spirit power. Human spirit energy is more like standard energy
and can be countered as such (meaning other energies more easily
counter human spirit energy since human spirit energy doesn't
have any special properties like other spirit energy types). If
they have an advanced nature, then those natures are weak to
whatever their natures are weak to (such as divine states spirit
energy would be weaker to demonic states), and every type of
spirit energy has some kind of counter (which may depend on the
spirit power one uses, but weaknesses and counters must be
stated).
Zoe is one of the strongest human spirit users due to how
immense her spiritual energy is ever since she was a child. It
was strong to the point that it rival other powerful
supernatural creatures and hybrids.
Spirit User Unique Ability: Raw Power:
~The user either possesses an extreme and raw level of
overwhelming power so tremendous and destructive which can make
users by far the most powerful and mighty beings in their known
worlds and by far the most dangerous to have ever been known
because of their unrivaled might, or simply the quality to
overwhelm through sheer strength.
The level of such power is so great that users can resist, smash
through, and become immune to laws, natures, illness, etc.,
through sheer force and strength alone. Strong enough users may
be able to negate durability and possibly defy logic itself.
Due to her abnormal birth and training, Zoe possess raw
spiritual power that can rival powerful demigods like her
cousin, Vendetta Zolnerowich. Due to this, a ring was created to
conceal her power so dark spirits and hollows won't hunt her
down relentlessly.
Spirit User Spirit Balance Mastery:
~In order to train in spirit user abilities, a spirit user must
first master their own spirit energy, in order to utilize their
energy properly. Before training can even begin, the user must
learn a few different things. The first is that they must learn
how to tap into their positive and negative spirit energy, and
the second is that they must learn how to manage their own
unique balance. Most spirit users must learn this before they
can move on to other abilities so that they can learn to
properly focus their spirit energy. Depending on the user,
spirit users will often have varying amounts of soul energy, as
well as having different balances, making it imperative that the
spirit user trains and learns about their own spirit. By tapping
into their spirit, they eventually learn to utilize their
negative spirit energy and their positive spirit energy and find
balance in their souls. This is not just about fighting with
spirit energy, but this balance is also used to help users
control their spirit power, and learned to help them grow in
body, mind and spirit. This requires heavy meditation, and the
ability to focus inward which has to be learned to utilize this.
Thanks to this training, spirit users typically are very
inwardly focused, and learn to master their spirit as the first
step in their training. Depending on the spirit user, every user
typically has a different balance, so each user must find that
balance, and learn how to maintain that balance. Depending on
the user though, there are some that are special cases, such as
holy vampires don't have negative spirit energy and only have
positive spirit energy. Depending on the spirit energy, spirit
energy also may have unique effects depending on the spirit
energy used since each race may have unique aspects to their
spirit energy. Of course, while balancing one's spirit is
necessary to learning to focus spirit power, not being able to
maintain this balance can cause one's spirit energy to go out of
control, especially for more powerful spirit energy users. For
this reason, those with stronger spirit energies may restrain
their energy to maintain a lower level of balance.
Spiritual Energy Enhanced Spiritual Attack:
~Because spirit users tend to attract certain kinds of spirits
to them, spirit users have learned to fight against spirits that
may try to attack them. Since many spirit users suffer attacks
from the spiritual plane, spirit users have learned to attack
enemies not physically present. This not only allows them to
attack things like ghosts, hollows and other spiritual
presences, but this also allows spirit users to attack dark
spirits using their spirit energy. By using the focus and power
of their spirit energy, the spirit user focuses their spirit to
attack on the spiritual plane, rather than attack the physical.
Because of this, users don't just do physical damage with their
spirit energy but do spiritual damage to opponents. This is
meant to attack spirits, and other things not on the physical
plane, with some users even being able to attack spiritual
beings like demons and angels whether they're in a physical body
or not by attacking their spirit more than their physical body.
This is especially effective when used on spiritual presences
when a spirit is possessing others, as the spirit user's spirit
energy can be used to damage both the possessed body and the
spirit or entity possessing the person. With enough attack and
power, some spirit users can even grow to a level where they can
destroy spirits (usually requiring special skills and training
to do so), which can be very useful to fight spirits that might
come against the user. This is effective on almost any spiritual
opponent, as long as the spirit user can damage whatever they
are attacking. This is very useful since many spirit users might
get targeted by hollows or spirit users, which is a major
problem for them. While this is very useful for attacking
spiritual users though, the spirit user does have to hit the
opponent with their attacks in order to do damage, as well as
the spirit user has to overcome the spirit presence of the being
they are attacking. If the being they are attacking has stronger
energy than them, then this spirit energy will do high reduced
damage (if it does damage at all).
Spirit User Enhanced Spirit Pressure:
~One of the most notable effects of spirit users and those that
have spirit energy abilities is that many of them gain enhanced
spirit presences which show their spiritual power. This presence
radiates from the body in its aura, and gives off spirit
pressure depending on the strength of the spirit energy. This is
a passive effect which is emitted from the body, where the
body's emitted spirit energy puts pressure on the environment
around them. How this energy senses depends on the being and
what kind of spirit energy they have, but all spirit energy
reacts similarly to the environment, which comes from a spirit
user. Stronger spirit users have a stronger effect on the
environment, where the strongest spirit energy users may have
presences that can create intense gravity that can put immense
pressure on an area. How far this presence extends, and how
powerful the presence is depends solely on how powerful the
spirit user is, and if they utilize certain things like spirit
suppression to keep their spirit energy suppressed. Many
stronger spirit users who have intense gravity to their spirit
presence will often wear spirit suppression equipment to prevent
their spirit energy from having a negative effect on the
environment around them, while weaker spirit users will often
wear items that will help increase their spirit power and focus
to help them match higher level spirit users. For the most part,
this is a passive skill, but can be used to one's advantage,
such as how hollows utilize spirit coming from the body to
enhance their skin passively in their Hierro technique so that
their spirit presence can be used to strengthen their skin. This
also is responsible for the body and supernatural power
amplification (more later) when using spirit energy. While it's
not always useful on its own, some users have learned to tap
into their spirit presence in order to either contain the energy
to retain as much spirit energy as they can, or some may learn
to draw on their spirit presence (a common trend among demons
who use spirit power). For the most part, this is mostly just a
passive skill that is determined by the strength of the spirit
user. Stronger spirit users will often have trouble because they
may release too much spirit energy, but weaker spirit users may
need spirit concentration equipment in order to use stronger
spirit powers.
Spirit User Spiritual Aura Defense:
~Almost all spirit energy users develop their spiritual aura,
which is usually present in their spiritual pressure/presence.
The first use of the spiritual energy aura is a passive defense,
that can defend the user thanks to the spirit energy being able
to dampen attacks (if strong enough) and reduce damage from
attacks. Similar to those like the Darkfires who use elemental
auras, spirit energy users can use their spiritual auras as a
passive defense in the same manner. Users can develop this as
long as they can train their aura (some stronger spirit users
may have trouble with this unless they have something to help
them control their spirit presence), and can learn to use their
spirit aura to defend themselves. While nowhere near as powerful
as more concentrated attempts at using energy for defense, this
does allow a user to utilize spirit energy as a defense without
needing to do anything. Unlike other aura abilities, this has no
active or inactive state, unless one suppresses their spirit
energy when not using it (usually through spirit suppression
items). And depending on the spirit energy, this aura can have
different effects depending on the spirit energy used. For
example, demons having stronger and more concentrated spirit
energy would make a much stronger spirit aura that can dampen
attacks far more effectively, or an angel's spirit aura could be
used to dampen unholy energy attacks since their spirit aura
would be purifying in nature. The effects depend mostly on the
user and their skillset, as well as their race and heritage.
There are some other techniques for this as well, such as some
who have techniques that can use the aura specifically, or
spirit attack/defense skills that use more concentrated focuses
of spirit energy to defend specific parts of the body (More
later). Of course, as one might expect, getting through a spirit
energy is a matter of strength and focus, where users can break
through one's spirit aura if they have the strength or focus to
do so. For example, those with the focus to negate energy using
certain focus skills could more easily break a spirit user's
aura, and those with stronger energy can also more easily break
spirit aura.
Spirit Aura Physical and Supernatural Amplification:
~Similar to abilities like mana amplification and ki
amplification, spirit energy users also gain this ability as
well. Those with spirit energy that learn to utilize it and
train it will gain spirit-based passive amplification by
learning to focus their spirit energy and draw it out. When
spirit energy is running through the body, the body's physical
and supernatural stats are amplified by one's spirit aura,
making them stronger than they normally would be. As one might
expect, this amplifies the body's physical stats, increasing
what a user can do when the user is focusing spirit energy. This
also includes a user also gaining spirit energy amplification in
their supernatural abilities as well, where their spirit energy
amplifies their other supernatural skills. For example, spirit
users may have other skillsets, and those skillsets can receive
an amplification from spirit energy depending on the skillset.
For example, one soul reaper learned spirit user abilities and
the increased focus on spirit helped them use stronger kido
abilities and strengthened their zanpakuto abilities. This
amplification works as long as the body has spirit energy, and
stronger spirit energy can increase the amplification of this
application of spirit energy. The good thing about this skill is
that it can be strengthened through training and focus as the
spirit user grows, whether it's physical training to train the
body, spiritual training for stronger amplification, or a
combination of the two for both effects. Even a normal human who
uses this amplification (as long as they have a moderate level
of spirit energy) can usually use this amplification to keep up
with other supernatural type opponents, and can use this in
combat without even having to think about it. The only time that
this deactivates or is not usable is if the user either
restrains their power (which is useful for those that have
harder time controlling their abilities) or the user runs out of
spirit energy. Other than that, this amplification can also be
overpowered by stronger and more focused opponents, and can be
countered by other supernatural energy amplifications (like mana
amplification or chi/ki amplification).
Spirit User Soul Protection Training:
~Those that learn spirit energy are often taught how to protect
their soul, specifically against those that want to steal their
soul since there are so many soul eaters in the world. In this
training, a user learns to focus their spirit energy to protect
their soul, usually putting energy around their spirits to
protect their spirit from outside influences. This has a few
uses, such as making it very difficult for soul eaters to steal
their soul. By putting protection around their spirit, a soul
eater has to break through this spirit energy or absorb all the
spirit energy before the spirit user's soul can be taken. And
even if a user's soul is absorbed, the spirit user can actually
keep putting protection around their soul to prevent the soul
eater from being able to fully utilize the soul and keep the
soul from dissolving into the mass of souls most mortals who eat
souls become. This means that many spirit users, even if their
soul is taken, have protection to avoid their souls being used
by others. This protect also protects the spirit against things
like corruption, such as some spirit users will use this to
prevent their soul from being corrupted and turned into a hollow
if they die, or a user may use this to keep certain energy
poisonings from affecting their soul. This ability is a great
way to learn to protect one's spirit, and allows a user to find
different ways to protect themselves. Some may even come up with
unique methods to protect their spirit, such as one half demon
and half human hybrid used a barrier around their soul to
protect themselves from being overtaken by demon energy when
they went into full demon form (essentially allowing them to use
a full demon form and maintain their mind without losing control
like they were previously). When it comes to this protection, it
can be very useful, but is not completely indestructible, as
some opponents can still break this protection and steal one's
soul, or corrupt the soul if their energy can break this
protection. It is also worth noting that this protection also
only works as long as a user has spirit energy, and if they are
out, they cannot use this skill.
Soul Healing/Soul Purification:
~Those with spiritual energies are able to use their spirit
energy to heal souls that have been damaged to a degree by
transferring some of their spirit energy. 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 to a degree. Some are able to do this
more easily than others, such as angels and holy vampires who
specialize in more positive spirit energy powers. Some races
like demons and death wraiths who use darker sides of their
souls may have a harder time utilizing this skill. However, each
race does have some ability to heal through spirit energy
transfer, where the spirit user uses the spirit energy in
another's body to amplify the life energy in the body to heal
itself. And in addition to healing, spirit users 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. By using spirit energy to counter corruptions and
tainting, a spirit user can usually find a way to use this to
help remove energy corruption if a user is smart about how
they're using their spirit energy. For example, a spirit user
may counter demonic energy poisoning by using positive spirit
energy to counter the demonic spirit energy. Spirit users can
use this on themselves or on others (usually allies), and can
use this as long as they are willing to transfer spirit energy.
However, it is worth noting that that some spirit natures may
have additional ability to use this depending on the spirit they
have, such as angels being able to more easily heal and purify
with their spirit energy. However, one cannot bring someone back
from death, and in order to counter certain conditions, the user
has to know what is causing the problem. For example, this may
not work on normal illnesses, but if the user knows enough demon
energy poisoning, then they may be able to counter it with their
spirit energy. And with healing, one has to learn to utilize
spirit energy that won't be harmful to the person they want to
heal, as some spirit energies can react negatively, such as
angelic and demonic spirits clash and would likely cause more
pain and injury if an angel tried to heal a demon or vice versa
(though it would be possible, just painful).
Spirit User Astral Projection/Astral Possession:
~This ability comes with being able to access the spiritual, and
is something spirit users learned to do by accident. Those that
are in tune with their spirits are able to project their spirits
when they desire through astral projection by separating their
spirit from their body. Many are familiar with the concept of an
"out of body" experience, but spirit users learn to utilize it
when they choose to thanks to their enhanced spiritual training.
When projected, there are a few things that one can do when in
astral projection. 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. Typically,
this allows a user to more easily access spiritual planes, where
they can go there as a spirit rather than as a physical being. A
major use for this is that some spirit users learn to interact
with dead spirits this way, since some spirits are harder to
interact with in the living world under normal circumstances.
However, because of people like Barbas who found ways to use
this more creatively, there are also other ways to use this as
well. Some more devious users have learned to use this to follow
people and whisper suggestions to them, as a means to try and
mislead them, or some have even learned to possess others using
this ability. Advanced users of this can even go into people's
dreams as well, even being able to take control of someone
else's dreams once they learn how the dreaming process works
from inside the mind. This technique can be quite useful to
certain spirit users depending on what they use it for. However,
the major danger is what happens when one is in astral
projection, because their body remains vulnerable while they are
in this form (since they are not technically in their body,
their body could be attacked and they likely wouldn't know).
Another danger to this is that when one accesses places like the
spiritual or astral plane, their spirit may be noticed by other
entities, with the major one being dark spirits who may attack
them to try when in astral projection. For the most part, there
is one general rule to remember when dealing with the spirit
plane: When you see them, they see you. Other than that, things
like possession and astral suggestion still work just as one
would think, and the same weaknesses apply as they would to any
other uses of these powers.
Spirit Energy Constructs/Projectile Creation:
~As one might imagine, this is the main method of attack using
spirit energy. Those that learn to utilize spirit energy learn
to focus their spirit energy into spirit energy attacks that
they can use to fire at enemies. Many are familiar with certain
techniques like soul reaper Kido, or the hollow's cero
techniques, which are applications of this concept. When using
this, there are many ways to use spirit energy to attack
enemies. In terms of focusing energy for projectiles, there are
a few ways to do this. One could fire a spirit energy like a
beam attack, similar to how ki users fire waves of ki at
enemies, or one could fire concentrated blasts of spirit energy
at their opponents. Another method of using spirit energy is
that many spirit users can create spirit constructs, forming
spirit energy into forms they can use (For example, the Spirit
Sword technique creates a sword of spirit energy as a construct
of spirit energy). Depending on how it's used, there are many
ways to use spirit energy in projectiles and constructs which
can be done depending on the skills of the user and if they
learn certain techniques. For example, some human spirit users
learned the spirit gun, a concentrated spirit energy attack that
blasts opponents with raw spirit energy. When used, not only are
there many ways to use this (while there are many in the spirit
techniques/skills section, the ones listed are nowhere near
every spirit energy technique out there), but each person using
it could apply their own unique effects to techniques for
different effects. For example, the human spirit gun was learned
by a demon who was able to fire far more concentrated spirit
guns due to using his more concentrated demonic energy that was
able to overpower normal uses of the spirit gun. This mostly
depends on the user, how they're trained, and how creative they
are with how they concentrate spirit energy. There are many
variations of ways to use this, and many users can even create
their own unique spirit energy skills, but this particular power
mostly just covers basic uses of this skill, where users can
create blasts, constructs and other ways to use spirit energy to
attack or defend. For the most part, any spirit energy used can
still be countered like normal spirit energy, and unique effects
can also be countered just as they normally would be (like holy
energy could counter demonic spirit energy).
Spirit/Soul Summoning:
~This ability allows a user to tune into their spirit,
specifically allowing a user to learn to tap into parts of their
spirit and summon things within their spirit. The most common
examples of this include the death wraith soul sword technique
where death wraiths tap into their spirit and gain soul bound
weapons. Another example of this are certain manifestations of
spirit, such as Pai Zhua users are able to summon animal spirits
from within their spirit by tapping into their own animal
spirits. Users deep in connection with themselves are able to
tap into their spirit and find things within their spirit to
summon if they have hidden aspects in their spirit. Many spirit
users have some form of aspects of their spirit that they don't
know about, and spirit user training can help one focus on these
aspects and use them. Of course, this also depends on the
skillsets and abilities one has, as some skillsets are better at
using this than others. This is not to be confused with
connecting outside items to one's spirit, or about spirit
storage techniques, as this skill only covers drawing out things
within one's soul and learning to summon them from their soul.
Depending on what is summoned, and the skill used, spirit users
can learn a variety of techniques and only need to find a way to
awaken whatever it is they want to summon. Once a user is able
to utilize this, they can summon whatever is in their soul
freely, with the most common examples including one's animal
spirit (via Pai Zhua training), soul bound weapons (usually
common among death wraiths, soul reapers and arrancars, but not
limited to them), and spirit familiars generated from the soul
(which some do have spirit familiars that can be generated from
within their spirit). When summoned, whatever summoned is able
to be used depending on what is summoned, where familiars and
spirits inside the user can be summoned and controlled like most
familiars, or a weapon like a soul bound weapon could be called
and used in battle. For the most part, each art may be slightly
different, but they all share the same weakness: Anything that
is summoned can eventually be broken with enough power, where
things like familiars and spirits can be dispelled temporarily
if they are overpowered, or spirit weapons can be broken and
have to be repaired.
Spirit Item Empowerment:
~This ability lets a user use their spirit energy to empower
objects around them, usually as a means to create items or
weapons. When using this, a user simply passes some of their
spirit energy into an item, which can grant the item special
properties depending on how this is done. There are some that
have special arts to do this, such as some will empower an item
with spirit energy before a supernatural type blacksmith will
forge the item or weapon into a more powerful item or weapon.
Depending on how it's done, there are some that can create new
spirits within items using their spirit energy, such as someone
may use a special art on a weapon to create an intelligent
weapon. However, the most common use of this often just includes
a user learning to create items and weapons by empowering an
item. There are a variety of uses for this, such as storing
spirit energy in something for a user to use later to replenish
their spirit energy (such as storing their spirit energy in a
bottle of water to create spirit water that they can drink and
revitalize their spirit), or users may create items or weapons
that utilize their spirit (Such as how the demon Sesshomaru uses
his Bakusaiga, a sword made from his demonic spirit energy).
Some may even empower items and/or weapons for others, such as
some dragons may help each other by using their spirit energy to
forge weapons from their spirit different from the dragon's own
spirit so that they can use a sword with a different element to
grant them more variety in attacking (such as Olympus universe
Ryu Fefnir Bordas who had three swords each with different
spirit energy to create three very different blades). 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 in ability (such as spirit
weapons). Object and weapons empowered by this gain the spirit
power of the person who empowered it, which usually 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 type of spirit, or dragon weapons/items
being weak to the counter elements of the spirit energy, or any
other weakness the item or weapon might have.
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 or even harmonize with spirits within themselves.
For example, those with living weapons or spirit bound weapons
have to use this to be able to wield their weapons, and by use
this ability to harmonize with each other, the two are able to
use their power. However, those with this technique are able to
tune to others as well, with many spirit users often using this
alongside allies to tune their spirit to allies so that the
spirit user can combine attacks with another ally. 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 when the two powers normally wouldn't be able to
combine together (unless used by a nephalem). The powers usable
depend on those tuning to each other, and the powers of the
other person. This is not limited to just other spirit users, as
a spirit user can tune to almost any energy a supernatural can
use. There are ways to tune spirit energy to other energies like
mana, chi/ki, psychic energy, and even elemental power depending
on the person the spirit user is trying to harmonize with. Due
to the variety of powers this spirit power can be used to attune
to, it is hard to name all the possible combinations, as there
are a large variety of them. However, the consistent thing is
that the spirit user tunes a spirit attack and combines it with
their ally, creating a much stronger unified attack with their
ally. As an example, one use harmonized with a ki user to fire a
spirit beam attack combined with a ki beam technique to create a
combined energy beam. Of course, as one might imagine, aside
from the increased power and additional person adding their
technique, techniques using this are still weak to the same
weaknesses as normal, with each spirit energy having specific
counters in addition to other energies (IE death wraith spirit
energy being weakened by strong enough light energy or
flashbangs).
Spirit User Techniques/Skills:
Spirit User Spirit Technique: Spirit Lightning:
~This technique was originally believed to be created by Kierran
Black, but other users of this have shown that there have been
spirit lightning techniques before Kierran Black developed his
version of the technique. This technique has become one of the
spirit user energy change form techniques that replicates
elements using spirit energy spirit energy changes in nature (by
changing spirit energy into a more static-like state). This
skill uses change in energy form, in which the energy is shaped
to have the same consistency as lightning once it's been applied
correctly. This power works similarly to lightning, but instead
of being lightning, this particular power is spirit energy. As
such, not only can this be used with spirit energy to do unique
spirit energy damage based on the spirit user's race, but this
lightning can also be used to bypass lightning immunity since it
is not true lightning. This power can work as an alternative to
powers like corrupted lightning, and can be used in similar
manners to lightning such as creating waves or beams of
lightning, releasing streams of spirit lightning to electrocute
objects and people, or even using concentrated spirit lightning
for piercing attacks. And not only can this use normal
conductors to conduct the spirit lightning, but this spirit
lightning also uses spirit energy to conduct lightning thanks
the technique being designed to attack spiritual energies rather
than physical. As such, those affected by this will not just be
hurt on a physical level, but will take damage on a spiritual
level. While this doesn't destroy spirits/souls, it does damage
them enough to usually incapacitate enemies after enough
exposure. However, depending on the spirit energy, this can also
be run through certain other energies based on the energy of the
user, such as a demon spirit lightning user could run their
spirit lightning through unholy energies as a conductor. For
countering, this is still countered like normal lightning, such
as using water or ice, but one can also use other energies to
counter this as long as it's not an energy that the spirit
lightning uses as a conductor.
Physical Spirit Amplification Combat:
~This technique utilizes spirit energy in physical combat, in
which a spirit user focuses their spirit into physical
amplification and focusing attack and defense techniques when
fighting. This takes a concept similar to the Mystic Knight
skills, where the user focuses more on physical amplification
using energy rather than using energy to attack (except that
this technique doesn't require a user giving up their normal
skills to utilize like mystic knights requires magic to be given
up to physical amplification). In this particular technique, a
user will often focus the spirit energy into their physical
attacks, whether it is to attack or defend. By strengthening
parts of their body with spirit energy, they focus on amping
their physical abilities in a fight. For example, a spirit user
may focus the spirit energy to their fists when trying to punch
an opponent, in which there are many techniques for spirit
punches and spirit kicks using spirit energy to attack using
physical combat. This power is often used in conjunction with
certain spirit user fighting styles such as the Satsui No Hado
or the Reshuyuken. When used, a user can not only use attacks,
but can use spirit energy to amplify their defense, such as
using spirit energy focused around one's arm to use their spirit
energy like a shield to block attacks. Depending on the use of
this and the style used, this can be a very useful fighting
technique, where users can apply this to almost any fighting
style if they truly desire if they can focus their physical
combat properly. And thanks to each race having different spirit
energy, the effects of the spirit energy used in this style can
also change depending on the race, with each race having
different effects that apply when they hit opponents with spirit
energy enhanced attacks (Such as a fire dragon attacking with
spirit energy would do fire elemental damage when their attacks
hit an opponent). As such this is a very useful technique, and
pretty basic. Mastering it however, requires a user to master
not only their own combat skills, but also master how they apply
spirit energy in combat. Of course, opponents can counter the
spirit energy just like any other, and users can still block and
dodge attacks and defenses just like any other physical combat.
Spirit Bond/Spirit Familiars:
~This skill is for those that want to learn how to bond their
spirit to an entity like a spirit, or gain a familiar, there are
arts that will allow one to do so. Unlike the spirit summoning,
this usually involves bonding an outside source to the spirit.
This can be used in a variety of ways, where a user can learn
different arts to bond certain living things to their spirit.
The first common one is familiars, where more spiritual users
will use an art to bond a familiar to them (usually working best
if the familiar agrees to be bonded to the user). Familiars can
come in all shapes and sizes, and when bonded, users will often
gain special connections to the familiars they bond to to them.
Of course, there are many arts to gain familiars, which users
can learn if they have a skill for it (such as some spirit users
have developed an art that will use spirit energy to summon a
spirit or familiar they have an affinity for). The second most
common thing this is used for is bonding spirits to oneself, in
which there are arts that can allow one to either befriend or
even enslave spirits (though enslaving spirits is often
considered a taboo skill among many races that know the
spirits). When bonding spirits, usually this bond is created to
allow the user and the spirit to share their power together,
usually as a means to work together and strengthen each other.
Many spirits will often feed on energy given to them to grow
stronger, and in exchange they will help the user. Whether it's
a familiar or a spirit or something other outside force bonded
to the spirit, spirit users can use this art to bond entities or
even sometimes bond objects to their spirit (more on that
later). There are many ways to use this, so it is not always
constant, as there are different arts to do different things.
However, the main thing to note in every case is that the user
must bond to something to use this art, with almost all bonds of
this skill being to outside sources (not something generated
from inside the body). As for countering this skill, the most
common counter is by using energy or other spirits, where an
opponent may be able to counter with similar arts. Though what
is summoned usually depends on what an opponent has to do to
counter this (IE a weapon being summoned can just be countered
by another weapon).
Zoe have a few spirits who will protect her whenever summoned to
her side. All poltergeist have the ability to interact and use
their powers in their invisible state. If they take on a
physical appearance each one is unique and has it's own special
features for fighting. These summons can not be killed, but
their physical forms can be temporarily destroyed and can not be
called again for 2 hours (at least 5 to 8 RP turns depending on
the damage).
Mark:
~A giant spirit cave bear monster that has been on Zoe's side
ever since she was a little girl. Zoe summoned the bear by
accident in her dream but it was a good accident. Mark is more
powerful than a normal bear with spirit powers and has a human
form that can make almost anyone sh*t cinder blocks (He looks
like Boris the Russian vampire) along with a wearbear form. Mark
is a tank but even he has his limits and like the others, he
will disappear for two hours (5 RP turns).
Wil O Wisps:
~Zoe has three light green wil o wisps that can be summon by her
side. She can use them to scout out areas, deliver messages or
just hang around Zoe. They are well known for inspecting people
and can tell whenever someone is good or evil which has saved
Zoe many times over.
Mickey:
~Zoe has no idea how the hell this creep became her protector.
Mickey is a skilled arcane archer who is deadly in range and
close combat. Unfortunately, Mickey is weak to Hell Gate pieces
along with spirit weapons.
Spirit User Spirit Technique: Spirit Shield Techniques:
~This skill involves defensive arts that utilize spirit energy
to create defensive techniques. There are a number of ways to
use this defensive technique, where users can utilize are able
to use spirit energy for different types of defenses. There are
many techniques so it's hard to summarize all of them, but among
some of the more popular techniques are Spirit Shield, Spirit
Wall and Spirit Barrier. Spirit shield is a technique where a
user extends their spirit energy from their arm in the form of a
shield or a shield gauntlet, in which they use the energy shield
to block attacks when moving around in combat. By using spirit
energy that can extend from the body instead of simply having to
be held up like normal shields. For spirit wall, this creates a
large wall in front of the user, where they are able to use
their spirit energy to defend against attacks by using the
spirit wall for defense. The most effectively method this is
used for is defending against energy attacks, like energy beams
(like ki beams or hollow ceros). The next technique is spirit
barrier, which a user uses to create a barrier around themselves
to defend against attacks. This technique is useful to AoE
attacks, such as explosions, and can be used to defend from
attacks form multiple angles. This technique is often used to
create some form of barrier, where some will form a sphere
around them, or some may form a diamond barrier, but the main
thing to note is that these barriers are made of spirit energy
and usually grant complete coverage around a user. Depending on
the technique, certain techniques are very useful depending on
the situation. Shield is a good technique that doesn't require
much energy, but one has to be able to move the shield in order
to block attacks. Spirit wall is a good technique that also
doesn't require too much energy (but more than spirit shield),
but users cannot come out from behind the shield without risking
attack, and the wall cannot defend against attacks from the side
or from behind. Spirit barrier is a great technique for all
around defense, but takes a lot of energy to utilize properly
due to it being a barrier that surrounds an opponent. All of
these can be broken by stronger energies, or by stronger
opponents if they have enough raw power to do so.
Spirit User Spirit Technique: 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
conserving 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 and closing
their fingers around the blast to split the blast into multiple
shots of spirit energy. This turns the spirit gun into an
advanced spirit technique that can be used to not only hit
opponents thanks to its spread of spirit energy shots, but can
also be used to attack groups of enemies. 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 fingertips (or in the hand in the case of
the spirit shotgun), depending on what the person wants to do.
These attacks can also be dodged or overcome if one has strong
enough energy to overpower the blasts, with some opponents even
being able to overcome these with raw spirit energy. However,
when countering, one also has to take into account the effects
of the blast, such as if a user uses unique spirit energy or
combines it with a technique like spirit lightning or a similar
spirit technique.
Spirit User Spirit Technique: 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 the spear can release a flurry of
spirit spears. A single spear typically is a simple attack,
while making a group of spears come out of one blast is
typically an advanced technique. 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,
such as spirit lightning would electrocute an opponent with
spirit lightning when piercing an enemy. 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 since the spirit
gun was too hard to concentrate through a spirit vector. 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, and users can even have special effects
depending on the spirit energy they possess. For example, a
demon spirit user may fire a spirit missile and their spirit
energy may do demonic spirit damage as well as be far more
potent in energy when fired at opponents. Users can fire one or
fire a group if they are advanced enough with the technique,
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. Some stronger
opponents can also block these, as some people with raw power
can overpower the piercing effect.
Spirit User Spirit Technique: Spirit Laser:
~This was designed to be a modified version of a beam attack
used by spirit users. Instead of firing a beam like a cero
(Hollow technique) or like a ki beam, a user instead focuses
smaller and more concentrated beams designed for piercing
defenses and piercing through tough opponents. This technique is
not too different from the hollow cero art, Cero Rayo, or the ki
art Death Beam, as this art works very similar to this. When
firing this, opponents fire this just like any other beams of
energy, and can be used to fire at enemies or objects. If this
technique hits, the beam will typically pierce through objects
in which this concentrated beam is not only strong enough to
pierce, but can melt holes through things due to the
concentration of energy generating immense heat. This is meant
to replicate the effects of a laser beam, but using spirit
energy. Depending on the race using it, this can also have
special effects on enemies depending on the spirit energy used.
For example, angelic spirit beams can be used to purify negative
spirits, or a dragons spirit could cause elemental damage based
on their elemental spirit. This ability is fairly basic, and can
be fired in quick succession which makes it an attack that can
be rapidly fired. When fired, these beams move extremely fast,
and are able to pierce most objects, including things like
diamond, metal and other hard substances. While the beam cannot
pierce adamantium and vibranium, it can heat up the metals to
the point where the metals can eventually melt into molten
metal. When using this attack, users can usually find unique
ways to use this, such as some may bounce this off reflective
surfaces, or some may even control the beams and make them
zigzag around (though this method of us typically weakens the
attack somewhat). However, while this technique is very useful
for breaking defenses, it can still be dodged if an opponent is
able to dodge it in time (assuming they can move faster than the
attack). And some other similar techniques can also be used to
counter this (as well as some with raw physical strength that
can overpower energy attacks can also overpower these if they
can overpower the energy in the beam).
Spirit User Spirit Technique: Spirit Cuffs:
~This technique was used by a spirit psychic to which other
spirit users eventually copied this technique. There are two
main applications of this technique. The first is that one will
often use this to restrain their power, in which they use it to
train at a lower level so that they can grow faster, but is also
useful for those with stronger spirit energies that want to keep
themselves suppressed. When used, this will restrain one's power
and keep them in a weaker state, where they will not have to
worry about suppressing themselves. This is a very useful
application, and is usually applied by a spirit user either
using this on someone they are training, or on themselves. When
a user wants to remove the spirit cuffs, they simply focus their
energy and use it to break the cuffs, which releases them and
lets them use their full abilities. The next application of this
skill is when this skill is used on opponents. By using this
skill on opponents, a user can restrain an opponent, where this
restrains opponents the same way it would restrain those that
use it on themselves for training. On opponents, this can act
like a restraint, which is used to incapacitate an opponent.
Whichever method this is used for though, the result is the
same. This is used to not only restrain one's energy (meaning
users or opponents this is affecting will only be able to use a
smaller portion of their supernatural energies and their powers
due to the weakening effect of the cuffs), but also severely
hinders the user's physical stats, where a user is heavily
restrained in movement (Though those with strong enough bodies
or strong enough spirits may be able to fight this off). When
trying to overcome this technique, a user does have to be hit by
the spirit energy used to create the cuffs in order to be
affected, as this is not a technique one can just use that
instantly appears on an opponent. Users can also overcome this
by focusing their energy and using that focused energy to break
the cuffs if they can focus their energy to break the cuffs.
Some can even break these cuffs with raw physical power if they
are able to overpower the energy in the cuffs. This also only
works on those that that these cuffs can overpower, as if this
is used on someone stronger than the user, the cuffs likely
wouldn't work very well if at all.
Spirit Ki User: Spirit Ki Control:
~This is a somewhat strange ki type that was developed on the
planet of Yardrat. There aren't many who have been known to use
this ki type, due to not many knowing about the existence of
this ki type. This ki type unites the spirit energy in one's
spirit with the body's ki, to create a combination of spirit and
ki. This union creates spirit ki, which uses properties of both
ki and spirit energy to create a unique power. Spirit ki is
unique in that it is a type of ki that can be used like normal
spirit energy (meaning that spirit energy users can learn this
ki as well), or it can be used like normal ki. The main draw to
this ki training though are the unique techniques that one can
use. This ki requires not just training of the body though, but
also requires training of the mind in order to use this
effectively. Those that want to use this must unite their spirit
and ki through special training and meditation, which is much
harder to learn than most other advanced ki types. Typically,
this ki type also allows one to eventually open the door to
learning spirit user abilities, with some spirit ki users
actually also learning to use spirit energy to more easily
combine their spirit energy and ki. This type of ki was
developed by the people of Yardrat, and their techniques often
seem strange to many people, but their techniques are still
quite effective. However, just like most other ki types, this is
only usuable if one has the ki (and in this case, spirit energy)
to use to power this ki, and this is more easily countered by
other advanced ki types, particularly those that use genki,
though those that can counter spirit power can also counter this
as well, making spirit users another good counter for this
power. This ki type also require union of ki and spirit through
meditation, and not being able to unite their ki and spirit
through things like strong negative emotions can interrupt a
user's use of this type of ki.
Zoe manage to learn this spirit art when training with Jon
Talbain in martial arts, hence her developing this kind of ki
art.
Spirit Ki Technique: Spirit Cloning:
~Much like her demigod cousin's ninjutsu cloning arts, Zoe can
use her spirit ki abilities to create clones of herself, which
is very handy in battles. Zoe can even level her spirit energy
with the clones so she can fool her opponents. With enough hits
or a precise/brutal hit, the clones can be disperse almost
instantly so Zoe may have to be careful.
Spirit Ki Technique: Masenko:
~A technique taught to her by Callion in the Dark Dimension. The
attack is performed by the user placing both hands above the
head with the palms facing the target and one hand in front of
the other with the fingers going in opposite directions. When
the user thrusts their hands forward, they call the name and
fire a beam of yellow, white, or orange energy. Though Zoe's
beam comes out green.
Gekiretsu Madan:
~First, Zoe raises her hands up to her sides and charges a green
energy sphere in each hand. She then puts her hands forward and
fires a barrage of green energy waves against the opponent,
inflicting a massive amount of damage.
Spirit Ki Technique: Beast Cannon:
~A technique that Zoe learned from Jon Talbain. Zoe can dash
forward while surrounding herself with spirit ki energy. This
can be use in both offensive and defensive ways since she can
use them to attack opponents or ram through barriers such as
walls, shields, etc. She can also use it to evade attacks such
as projectiles if possible.
High Level Spirit User Spirit Technique: 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 that was developed by one of the strongest known human
spirit users. Only those who have mastered the use of spirit
energy can use this power, in which a user has to learn to focus
their spirit energy completely through their body and be able to
enhance the flow of their spirit energy using highly advanced
spirit control techniques. 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 depending on how its used. If focused inward, the
user can amplify their physical attacks immensely while the
spirit wave is active (though only for a short time), or a user
can focus it outward and create a massive spirit wave to blast
an opponent or group of opponents around them. When used
outwardly, this can also be used to purify others of impure
influences or purify them of any type of control over their mind
and body due to this technique being designed with a power of
purification to attack stronger spiritual opponents (like
purifying hollows or dark spirits). 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 to the
point that some can lose the ability to generate spirit energy
if they damage their body enough. 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. And as with many of the spirit energy techniques, some
users can even overpower it physically if they are able to
overpower the energy that is channeled into this (though most
have to use some form of supernatural amplification to overpower
this with raw power).
Human Darkfire Abilities:
Darkfire Elemental: Dark Lightning:
~Lightning is a very common element in the Darkfires, and is
often a second element to many Darkfires. Of course, there are
plenty of elemental powers, but this is one of the more common
ones alongside holy lightning possibly thanks to Qrow passing
down his affinity for lightning in the Darkfire family (as it
seems those directly related to him are more commonly seen with
lightning affinities). This affinity allows a user to utilize
dark lightning by fusing negative spirit energy to their
lightning power, creating a dark lightning power. When used,
this can still be used like normal lightning as one expects.
Lightning is often a very used power, and those that learn it
simply are able to do things like creating electrical waves,
electrocuting people with electricity, or even learning to
manipulate magnetic forces. Advanced users of lightning can do
things like manipulate things that are magnetic using magnetic
forces, create EMPs to take out technology, or even create
concentrated lightning to more easily pierce opponents. However,
Darkfires with dark lightning can do something unique with this
lightning, and that is that they can use dark energy and shadows
as a conductor. Those skilled with dark lightning can actually
use shadows to amplify their lightning, and can attack enemies
that are melded into the shadows thanks to this property. There
are plenty of properties of magnetic manipulation one can take
advantage of depending on their skill level and knowledge, with
there being plenty of techniques one can learn and different
ways to use lightning and magnetic forces. If one wants to
counter lightning, the best way to do so is to use water, which
can short out lightning manipulation. For this dark lightning,
light can also be used to counter this as well due to its shadow
type nature. Users can also do things like use lightning to
remove ionic charge, or use physical objects to try and block
electrical attacks as well using things like earth manipulation.
One can also use energy to try and block the attacks as long as
they can avoid the extra effects of the lightning.
Darkfire Elemental: Holy Lightning:
~Lightning is a very common element in the Darkfires, and is
often a second element to many Darkfires. Of course, there are
plenty of elemental powers, but this is one of the more common
ones alongside dark lightning possibly thanks to Qrow passing
down his affinity for lightning in the Darkfire family (as it
seems those directly related to him are more commonly seen with
lightning affinities). This affinity allows a user to utilize
holy lightning by fusing positive spirit energy to their
lightning power, creating a holy lightning power. When used,
this can still be used like normal lightning as one expects.
Lightning is often a very used power, and those that learn it
simply are able to do things like creating electrical waves,
electrocuting people with electricity, or even learning to
manipulate magnetic forces. Advanced users of lightning can do
things like manipulate things that are magnetic using magnetic
forces, create EMPs to take out technology, or even create
concentrated lightning to more easily pierce opponents. However,
Darkfires with holy lightning can do something unique with this
lightning, and that is that they can use positive energies like
holy energy and spirit energy as a conductor. Those skilled with
holy lightning can actually use holy energy and spirit energy to
amplify their lightning, and can eventually learn to attack
intangible enemies by attacking on the spiritual plane with this
lighting. There are plenty of properties of magnetic
manipulation one can take advantage of depending on their skill
level and knowledge, with there being plenty of techniques one
can learn and different ways to use lightning and magnetic
forces. If one wants to counter lightning, the best way to do so
is to use water, which can short out lightning manipulation. For
this holy lightning, demonic or dark power can also be used to
counter this as well due to its positive type nature. Users can
also do things like use lightning to remove ionic charge, or use
physical objects to try and block electrical attacks as well
using things like earth manipulation. One can also use energy to
try and block the attacks as long as they can avoid the extra
effects of the lightning.
Spirit Purification/Spirit Destruction Magic:
~These magics was learned by the werewolf alchemists, and taught
to the Darkfires who were helping them fight dark spirits. The
Darkfires learned spirit purification from the werewolf
alchemists, in which they are able to apply this to their
elemental and alchemic magic in order to allow it to purify
spirits. Those that know spirit purification know that spirit
purification strengthens the spirits that control nature and are
vital to the world, but spirit purification also destroys dark
spirits of the realm of Xeles. However, the Darkfires don't just
know spirit purification, but they also developed a spirit
destruction magic variation of spirit purification to be used
against stronger dark spirits immune to spirit purification.
While the alchemists don't like the use of spirit destruction,
they did teach the Darkfires how to properly use it, and how to
use it responsibly. As such, Darkfires who advance enough in
spirit purification can also learn spirit destruction once they
reach a certain level. While Darkfires are not as restrictive as
the werewolf alchemists, the Darkfires do limit how they use
spirit destruction, and it is forbidden to use it unless on a
dark spirit that is immune to spirit purification, due to the
dangers (as Darkfires can even accidentally destroy themselves
with spirit destruction if they aren't careful). These magics
also teach a Darkfire how to attack on a spiritual level, where
they are able to attack using techniques to attack beyond the
physical body. This means that those that are hit with spirit
purification don't just take damage physically, but their spirit
takes damage as well. While spirit purification does strengthen
normal spirits, it is still a useful technique against physical
beings since it can attack beyond a mortal's physical body. For
the most part, this is just a modified variation of the alchemy
and elemental powers, and just applies this magic to the normal
magic rather than make it some special magic. The Darkfires
mostly only use this when fighting dark spirits, or when trying
to strengthen nature spirits.
Zoe learned a spirit variation of this ability thanks to her
time training in different multiverses.
Darkfire Elemental Battle Sense:
~In order to sense their elements, Darkfires have to use their
elemental connection in order to be able to tell where their
elementals are. Thanks to the Darkfire's elemental training,
they learn to sense their elements, granting the Darkfires
unique senses depending on the elements they control. For
example, fire and ice manipulation (whether positive or negative
Darkfire elements), will usually grant thermal vision by
analyzing the temperature of everything around them, with the
Darkfires being able to sense ice or fire. Electrical senses
include being able to sense electricity and even being able to
tune into electrical-based communicate or sensing magnetic
fields. Wind manipulation will grant the Darkfire the ability to
sense the gases in the air, where they can identify any kind of
gas in the air around them thanks to them being able to sense
the air. Earth manipulation will grant the user an earth sense,
where they can sense anything solid around them, including
people by sensing the earthly elements in everything. Water
manipulation can grant one the ability to sense the moisture in
the air, where they are able to sense things like humidity or
what form moisture takes. For the most part, this is not just
about sensing elements though, as this grants the Darkfires the
ability to sense those around them. Since every element is all
present in the Darkfires, any of the Darkfires can sense people
around them by the elementals (such as earth users can sense
people by the earthly elements, or lightning users can sense
others by their magnetic fields). While each elemental sense is
different based on the element, they all accomplish the same end
result, letting the Darkfire sense both their elements around
them and sense other people around them. This power isn't about
predicting opponents like some battle senses are, but rather
this is about being able to sense the environment around the
Darkfires, and allow them to act accordingly. As such, this
isn't really good for offensive combat, and is mostly only good
in battle for sensing the opponents using elemental senses.
However, Darkfires cannot use this to predict or read opponents,
as this is more of a general elemental sense.
Darkfire Elemental Armor Defense Skill (Defense Amplification):
~This technique utilizes an element, but concentrated towards a
certain part of the body in order to defend the body against
attacks. By combining the elemental touch and elemental aura,
the Darkfires can use this technique to improve their defense.
For example, a Darkfire with lightning would charge a certain
part of their body with lightning to improve defense, such as
coating their arm on condensed lightning to block an attack with
their arm. This allows a Darkfire to condense the elemental from
a certain point in their body, in which they use it to defend
against attacks more easily. The element improves defense, and
depending on the element, some elements can have unique effects
when the opponent attacks. For example, a Darkfire using dark
flames could form this around their body and use it to burn
opponents who hit them (as the element used still has effects of
the element on opponents if they make contact with it). And when
using this, the form of the technique can be altered depending
on the situation and creativity of the Darkfire, such as earth
users who have used this to create armor around their bodies, or
a lightning user who used this to influence the magnetic fields
around attacks to repel them on contact. Depending on the
element used, the elements can be used with different skills for
different effects, and depending on the Darkfire, this can turn
a defensive move into an offensive one (such as a Darkfire who
uses the dark flame defense can make the dark flames explode on
impact to damage an opponent while they're attacking. However,
while this power is defensive, it can still be broken by
stronger attacks, as users may be able to still attack and break
this if their energy or physical strength can overpower the
defense. There are also certain other techniques that can
counter this, such as energy attacks being able to pierce
through, or users who use aura breaker weapons being able to cut
through this defense. It is also worth noting that Darkfires
using this cannot hold this for too long or use this to cover
too much of their bodies, as this technique takes a lot of
energy, and cannot be held in place for too long without
draining the Darkfire of power.
Darkfire Elemental Armor Offense Skill (Attack Deflection and
Form Negation):
~This technique was based on certain other abilities, like
swordsman wavelength and similar abilities that use attack
deflection and form negation. This variation of elemental
defense is more about offensive skill, where the Darkfire will
focus their power in order to attack opponents. This could be as
simple as charging their fist with elemental power to affect
enemies when they punch them, or using an elemental power to
deflect an attack. There are two major aspects to this power.
The first is using this to deflect attacks, where the Darkfire
uses a mastery of energy to change the trajectory of an attack
with their own attack. For example, the Darkfire could parry an
attack using the elemental defense, and use the elemental armor
to redirect the attack by focusing the elemental to move the
attack aside. More advanced users are even able to reflect
projectile attacks back on opponents when using this power, in
which advanced Darkfires are able to use this to great effect to
change an attack's momentum by attacking it directly and using
their elemental power to influence an attack (such as a magnetic
user being able to redirect attacks using magnetic force). The
second part of this is form negation, where powers like Pai Zhua
or Haki have been used in order to strike opponents using energy
that dispels energy. This allows a Darkfire to attack an
opponent no matter the form they are in, and even works against
intangible opponents. This can even be used to attack
incorporeal beings, such as spirits, in order to allow the
Darkfire to strike things that normally wouldn't be able to be
attacked. Since the Darkfires had a major rival in the
Hazeldines, this was designed originally to attack them when
they are melded into the shadows, or attack certain opponents
who can also take different forms like some who can also take
elemental forms. However, it is possible for those with stronger
energy defense to block this technique if they have a similar
defense skill like haki, Pai Zhua or certain types of chi
training, as stronger energy defense skills can block this if
the defense is stronger than the offensive skill. And just like
the defensive skill, this techniques effects can be instantly
dispelled by energy dispelling or aura breaker weapons and
powers. This power also requires focus as well as elemental
power, and typically uses more power than normal to utilize this
since this technique requires extra power to condense and affect
attacks.
Other Abilities:
Supernatural Survivability:
~The user is able to survive massive and even horrific injuries
or damage, or almost any level of danger or circumstances. In
some cases simply managing to cheat death even in seemingly
inescapable and deadly situations. As both a blessing and a
curse, the Zolnerowich family has the ability to survive almost
anything life throws at them that would flat out kill a human
being. Zoe is no exception since she has been surviving through
nearly impossible odds ever since she was born, even when people
were sure that she was going to die thanks to a witch.
Wall Jump:
~The user can adhere to walls for brief periods and kick off of
them, achieving better jump height than usual. When used between
two walls that are close enough together, the user can easily
scale surfaces by jumping between the two walls.
By being able to stick to the walls you become high wall,
existing bellow the tiering being this the definition of high
wall.
Double Jump:
~The user uses their own inertia to create a vortex around
themselves that substitutes a physical body to propel themselves
off of.
Some users can jump infinitely, this is made possible due to
their leg strength - using the speed of a kick through the air,
one can use the air (which, due to the speed of the kick, could
not escape properly) as a sort of cushion of the fall, therefore
using it to jump another time. Given that the user has enough
power in his/her legs, one can jump as many times as possible. A
common video game cliché.
Bash:
~This technique allows Zoe to push herself away from various
objects and enemies, knocking them in the opposite direction by
using spirit energy.
Grapple:
~This technique allows Zoe to pull herself in a straight line to
various objects and enemies by using her spirit energy.
Glide:
~This allows Zoe to slowly drift to the ground.
Dash:
~This allows Zoe to charge quickly left or right, even in the
air.
Swim Dash:
~This allows Zoe to Dash underwater, or near the surface of the
water to launch into the air (only with the water medallion).
Burrow:
~This allows Zoe to burrow through the ground, including sand
and snow
Ancestral Lightning:
~This ability grants Zoe a 25% damage boost (will only last for
two rp rounds)
Water Breath:
~This ability allows Zoe to breathe underwater (only with the
medallion that Exiles Kendrix gave her)
Combat Abilities/Skills:
Karate Intuition:
~The user can intuitively understand karate, a Japanese martial
art and combat sport based around striking with the hands, feet,
knees and elbows as well as some kinds of throws and joint locks
in certain styles.
Zoe was taught Shotokan Karate by Jon Talbain. A karate style
that founded by the aforementioned Gichin Funakoshi, Shotokan
was the first modern karate school, and the founders of many
other styles actually studied this before establishing their
own. Technically speaking, Shotokan emphasizes more on finesse
and long range attack, requiring practitioners to be both nimble
and well-balanced. Most of its competitions are ruled in points
and demonstrations of skill over rough finishes.
Aikido Intuition:
~The user has innate knowledge of aikido, a type of martial art,
created by Ueshiba Morihei, that utilizes twisting and throwing.
It is similar to jujitsu and judo; however, it is
non-competitive and focuses on self-improvement and
self-defense. Furthermore, unlike judo, it assumes there are
more than one attacker. Unlike jujitsu, aikido aims to reduce
injuries. Aikido also is a form of philosophy about improving
one's character through peace and non-violence rather than
perfecting martial arts.
Gun Kata:
~The user of this ability is capable of calculating the most
precise angle for targeting an opponent and predicting where to
be in order to avoid return fire by the enemy. This, combined
with good gunmanship results in the ultimate warrior of the
modern age, a samurai that utilizes guns instead of swords.
These ultimate gunners may or may not be bound by a code of
honor such as those who preceded them. Gun kata practitioners
may even be hired as assassins or life-long body-guards for
powerful rulers or executives.
Systema Intuition:
~The user possesses an innate understanding of systema, a
Russian martial art that advocates a straight-edge and instructs
fighters to discard ego, fear, and tension in the heat of
combat. Training includes hand to hand combat, grappling, knife
fighting, and firearms training.
Spirit User Combat Style: Shotokan Ansatsuken Style:
~This is one of the spirit user styles that some spirit users
may default to learning as their combat style. This style is
known as the assassin's fist, most commonly known for its
ability to kill opponents. There are two major variations of
this style. The first is the Hado no Chikara (Surge's Power),
which is a more non-lethal variant of the overall style. This
style focuses more on the spiritual and peaceful aspect of the
style, where users overcome their killing intent and let go of
their fear, anger, and pride to draw on the body's power to
protect rather than destroy. The second style is the more
violent variant of this style, which more people are familiar
with: The Satsui no Hado (Surge of Murderous Intent), where a
user focuses their physical and spiritual power to kill their
opponents. Both are pure opposites in power, and use different
sources of focus to use this combat, but both styles are very
similar in nature, with Hado no Chikara being more positive in
nature, and the Satsui no Hado being more negative in power.
Spirit users can learn either of these styles with the right
teacher, and can learn not only how to focus the style, but can
also focus the spiritual aspect of the style to use energy type
attacks that this style offers such as the Hadouken (a blast of
energy that can damage opponents). This style draws on the
spirit, and depending on the source of power, transforms one's
mindset into physical power that can be used in their combat
style. No matter the style used, both are able to fight
opponents using not just physical combat, but energy attacks
that can be focused through the user's mental state. As such,
this style is not just about the physical training, but also the
mental training. The Hado no Chikara and Satsui no Hado are both
strong styles, with the major difference being the mindset with
which its used. In terms of countering these styles, the best
way is to unbalance the emotions of the user, as this often
requires users to focus their minds as well. Either that, or
opponents can counter this with other combat styles if the
opponent is skilled enough or has a superior combat style
(usually depending on the opponent's training).
Zoe learned the Hado no Chikara due to her soft nature.
Spirit User Movement Method: Spirit 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 by using a combination
of spirit energy and precise movement. 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 while using precise
movement to allow a user to move at extremely high speeds when
in motion. Users can appear to disappear from view when in
motion, similar to other high speed movement users, and spirit
users can learn this alongside their spirit amplification
training, and can learn this alongside whatever combat style
they may choose (as this works with almost any style if one
masters it properly). This technique requires precision
movement, careful coordination and the ability to process things
at higher speeds (which can come with training if a user trains
their mind and body properly), 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 in some cases (Such as one user who tried to combine this
with hollow sonido and pancaked into a wall because they
couldn't control their speed). It is also worth noting that
other high speed movement users can also keep up with this
style, as users can use other high speed movements to counter
this just as this counters other high speed movement.
Spirit User Weapons Experts:
~During their time training in combat, many spirit users will
train in weapons, in which many have trained in a number of
weapons from guns to swords, to even knowing how to use a staff.
Normal weapons are usually pretty obvious, such as swords,
staves and other melee weapons are often common things spirit
users train with as part of their combat training. Even if a
spirit user doesn't like using weapons, they at least learn how
to use them, and can use them if they ever have to (though there
are many that also might have specific weapons they might use).
And depending on the weapons, some spirit users may even learn
to use special supernatural weapons if they have access to
supernatural weapons (such as some may have special spirit
weapons made for them to use in combat). The next thing to
mention is guns. While guns are something supernaturals don't
always care for, spirit users will use them if they have to and
can utilize guns to pretty useful effect. Thanks to this, many
spirit users who use guns may learn to use guns and become
expert marksmen. Depending on their training, there are many who
are great with many kinds of guns, with some who may have their
own preferences when it comes to guns (like some stronger
supernaturals might prefer higher caliber guns if they can fire
them more easily than weaker people since high caliber guns have
a lot of recoil). When it comes to using guns, spirit users will
often have to learn how to predict opponents movements, and they
also have to learn how to account for things like wind
resistance and friction when using guns. However, among more
advanced gun users, Some may be able to do things like ricochet
bullets around if they are able to calculate the trajectory of
the bullets, or some may also learn to instinctively aim if they
have good combat instincts. Of course, as one might expect,
every weapon does have drawbacks, and this includes even
supernatural weapons. Every weapon can be countered somehow, and
spirit users usually have to be careful when using weapons so
that the weapons don't become a crutch for their combat as too
much reliance may make them too reliant on weapons over their
spiritual power and training.
Spirit User Supernatural Hunting Weapons Experts:
~Because spirit users have to learn how to fight supernaturals,
spirit users often have supernatural hunter weapons that they
can use even if some may not like using weapons. This includes
things like silver knives, blessed weapons, and even special
materials like varanium and stilled silver. This usually depends
on the spirit user and what they have available to use, as
spirit users usually prepare for whatever kinds of supernaturals
they might fight. For example, before going into a werewolf
infested forest, a spirit user grab some silver knives to use,
or they would use special holy weapons if they were fighting
demons or other demonic type creatures. There are a number of
supernatural hunter weapons that spirit users know how to use
(not all of which are spiritual in nature, and knows how to
utilize them thanks to their time spent fighting supernaturals.
There are a great number of supernatural hunting weapons spirit
users can learn, and many can even develop their own through
things like spiritual item empowerment. But for the most part,
it is hard to quantify every option out there, since there are
so many. Spirit users often have weapons dependent on their
situations, where many will specifically train to fight whatever
supernaturals they think they may face. Users may also choose
weapons based on what they have available, such as some who are
a part of groups may have access to certain weapons others don't
have. This also includes certain materials that might be
available, where users can take advantage of certain materials
used to fight supernaturals. The biggest examples of this kind
of material are varanium and stilled silver, which have become
popular for fighting supernaturals due to the effects they have
on supernaturals. Some spirit users may even use spyrix to fight
spiritual opponents (though this is dangerous due to its effect
on all spirits, not just enemies). For the most part, this
mostly covers weapons specifically designed for fighting
supernatural opponents, as normal weapons are usually covered
under their weapons training. And like all weapons, these kinds
of weapons all have counters depending on the weapons.
Spirit User Spirit Combat Knowledge:
~Because spirit users typically have to learn to fight spiritual
opponents (due to them having to fight things like hollows and
dark spirits), spirit users typically have a huge knowledge of
how to fight spiritual opponents. This isn't just about blasting
opponents, but spirit users have combat knowledge of how to
attack spiritual opponents by using their spirit energy in
physical combat as well as weapon combat. While the techniques
of using spirit techniques to attack spirits may work well,
there are times where spirit users may want to attack spiritual
opponents using physical attacks. Spirit users are extremely
skilled at combating spiritual type opponents, and can apply
this aspect of their combat to any part of their combat. There
are usually two aspects to this style. The first is one may
learn to utilize spirit user techniques into their physical
combat. Among more popular methods of using this are spirit
amplification of physical stats using the physical amplification
technique, or some users may learn to release blasts of spirit
energy from their physical attacks. This can be used a variety
of ways, as it mostly just depends on the user, the techniques
and abilities they have, and how creative they get with their
attacks. The second aspect of this style is applying spirit
power to physical attacks, whether they are physical combat or
weapon combat techniques. While most spirit users do have spirit
energy combat styles, most are able to also apply their spirit
knowledge to their physical combat in order to not have to waste
power on techniques all the time. For example, a spirit user
could apply this to a martial arts style and they could use
physical attacks on a spirit while still doing damage to the
spirit. This applies as well to weapons, where users can apply
spirit combat to weapons in order to attack spiritual enemies.
This is a basic aspect of combat that all spirit users learn,
and depending on how it's used, users can still be countered
like normal combat styles. Aside from the spirit component of
this aspect of combat, an opponent can still counter, and some
opponents may counter this more easily (such as hollows and dark
spirits may have their own ways to counter this even if this is
still very effective on them as well).
Spirit User Dark Spirit Combat/Corrupted Spirit Knowledge:
~Because of spirit users often attracting dark spirits that
usually want to steal their spirits, spirit users have become
experts in dark spirits and other evil spirit entities from
Xeles's side of the Shadow Realm. The biggest one is dark
spirits, in which many spirit users have been fighting dark
spirits as one of their primary enemies for a long time. They
are an expert in almost every dark spirit that they know of, and
an expert on how to deal with other evil spirits like hollows
and high level lost souls that might escape the death wraiths
and soul reapers. Thanks to their spirit power and some who even
develop skills to fight them, there aren't many dark spirits or
evil spirits that usually escape higher level spirit users, as
they usually end up fighting dark spirits and corrupted spirits.
They are experts of almost every kind of dark spirit known,
aside from more unique ones like certain combinations of dark
spirit powers (such as London Kuroshi who is a mix of multiple
dark spirit types to create his own new dark spirit type).
Overall, spirit users are knowledgeable about much of dark
spirits and how they operate, such as things like dark spirit
rebirths (which many don't fully understand), dark spirit
rituals and even how to counter dark spirits that are immune to
spirit purification (which are rare, but some are immune to
normal spirit purification). Because dark spirits are more
attracted to spirit users, they have to constantly fight these
spirits, even more so than fighting other physical enemies they
might have. However, there are some dark spirits that spirit
users don't know how to destroy, or how to overcome, with the
two major ones they can't beat being Xeles and Phantom (almost
all every spirit user knows to avoid these two at all costs, and
know not to deal with them). Among others might be dark spirits
like those from the Dark Multiverse, as few people ever come
from the Dark Multiverse to the point that no one really knows
much about them.
Supernatural Strengths and Weaknesses Expert:
~Since spirit users have to fight other supernaturals as much as
anyone else due to them, like so many, have to learn to defend
themselves from supernatural creatures. Depending on their
training, most spirit users have to learn how to fight all types
of creatures whether they want to or not as most spirit users
will end up being hunted by those like soul eaters even if they
choose not to fight (as many soul eaters will go after spirit
users for their stronger spirits and better power gain when
taking the souls of spirit users). Depending on the spirit user,
some are able to learn as much as they can about supernaturals
from the human world, or some may learn about supernaturals from
others, or some may even learn from firsthand experience in
combat. As such, they know the strengths and weaknesses of
almost every race, including spells, exorcisms and traps used
against almost all manners of supernaturals depending on their
research and how much they've learned about races. Depending on
the age and experience of the spirit user, most learn as much
about killing supernaturals as they can, as the more they know
about fighting supernaturals, the higher their chance of
survival in a world that will usually have some that will hunt
them. For example, those with knowledge of weaknesses might know
that a human form dragon's elemental breath can be disrupted
with a good punch to the throat, and that is just one example of
weaknesses one can learn with enough focus and research. While
most focus on spiritual type opponents, many will also have to
learn about supernaturals, with their main enemies being soul
eater races like demons, vampires and other races that may try
to devour souls. Because of this, spirit users must learn to
fight physical opponents as much as spiritual types. Thankfully,
with all the knowledge available in the world, many spirit users
can find information on many different races, with the only
limits to their knowledge being if they can find information or
learn through firsthand experience with supernaturals.
Supernatural Hunting and Tracking:
~Whether a spirit user is a supernatural hunter or not, spirit
users learn a lot of the tricks supernatural hunters use through
research into supernatural hunting techniques, and picked up a
lot of tricks to track people down whether it is through
fighting supernatural hunters or being supernatural hunters
themselves (there are spirit users on both ends of the
spectrum). This has left them with not only a great sense for
hunting down opponents they need to hunt down, but also left
them with an innate ability to track opponents. Werecreatures
are able to learn to do very subtle things, like tell whether a
foot print is their target or not by things like the shape of
the boot and how deep the boot-print is, as well as also being
able to tell where their opponents go thanks to circumstances
like walking on plants, and animals that are unusually silent
being signs of predators in an area. They usually have a sense
of when opponents are near, as well as usually knowing which way
an opponent is going. And if a spirit user has supernatural
senses as well as normal senses, many spirit users can develop a
great sense of where things are around them. This is especially
true of spirit users when they learn to sense spiritual
presences, due to the fact that this can also help track others
or tell if people are tracking them by what presences are around
them. For the most part, there are spirit users who become
supernatural hunters, while there are some that also some that
hunt down supernaturals depending on the spirit user (since
there are such a wide range of spirit users out there). This
skill is something that not only requires knowledge of tracking,
and using the environment, but also requires knowledge of
supernaturals as well. For example, some werecreatures actually
jump through trees in the forest rather than walk on the ground,
in which supernaturals or supernatural hunters have to
understand that and use that knowledge to their advantage. Many
spirit users usually have a sense of when creatures are around
them, and most are trained specifically to track supernatural
creatures for their own survival (and that is to say nothing of
avoiding spiritual presences like dark spirits). Most have come
up with many ways to track supernaturals, as the tactics of
supernaturals are always rapidly changing as supernaturals come
to learn supernatural hunter tricks for hunting. Even among
human spirit users, most learn these tricks without any special
senses or abilities, as they just rely on the environment or on
what they learn about how to track creatures.
Supernatural Training: Exorcism, Weakness and Trap Knowledge:
~Most spirit users are trained or learn how to use exorcisms and
traps for a multitude of creatures and mythologies, due to
exorcisms and traps being very useful in their own survival.
Spirit users typically use exorcisms and traps in order to take
advantage of other races weaknesses, and typically use this on
other creatures that are vulnerable to exorcisms and traps. For
example, some spirit users know that holy oil works well for
trapping angels, and even know demonic exorcisms to exorcise
angels back to Heaven due to the occasional angel or demon who
might try to recruit or hunt them depending on their intentions.
For the most part, they also know how most supernaturals
operate, in case they should find themselves up against other
supernaturals. Most spirit users seek as many ways to exorcise
and trap beings as possible, specifically for finding ways to
trap stronger enemies they may have to run away from or fight.
As such, many spirit users that have been alive a long time have
had the time to build up their knowledge. This can also help
some spirit users learn to avoid certain weaknesses of their
race depending on the user (such as one spirit user who was a
werewolf that used this training to learn to avoid certain
tricks supernatural hunters use to fight werewolves). Most
spirit users learn this in order to survive if they are on the
wrong side of supernatural hunters or other supernaturals, and
learn as much as they can with what they have. Typically, things
like exorcisms and traps can easily save a spirit user's life in
dangerous situations, and some spirit users have learned a lot
about these not just through books, but by watching others who
use these kinds of skills. Spirit users also have the advantage
of making certain items to help with this, such as they might
have certain supernatural items made that might be useful for
handling certain kinds of supernaturals if they have time to
prepare for battling a supernatural.
Supernatural Hunter Extermination Experts (Supernatural Spirit
Users):
~Some spirit users who are supernaturals themselves become
experts in supernatural hunting techniques, besides just using
them to fight other supernaturals, is so that the spirit user
can learn how to fight against other creatures that hunt them,
since supernatural based spirit users are usually hunted like
other spirit users (depending on the spirit user). Most spirit
users will learn how supernatural hunters operate, whether the
hunters are human, werewolf, vampire or even demon or angel. In
order to survive, spirit users learn everything they can about
how supernatural hunters operate, and how to avoid most
supernatural hunter traps. This is another aspect that makes
spirit users especially dangerous, as many spirit users learn
ways to counter supernatural traps and learn quickly the tricks
supernatural hunters used to take them out. Because spirit users
that are supernatural in nature do encounter hunters from time
to time that will try to kill them, they will often not only
learn through books and training, but most end up having to
fight to survive against all manners of creatures (not just
spirits though spirits are a big part of their enemy list).
Usually, hunters will hunt down supernatural spirit users just
like most other supernaturals, as many hunters will see
supernatural spirit users as enemies if they don't know enough
about spirit users (and depending on the spirit user and the
hunter usually). Because of this, supernaturals that are spirit
users learn quickly about how to avoid, counter and kill almost
any manner of supernatural hunters (though many only kill
supernatural hunters when necessary, though the less moral ones
will hunt down and kill supernatural hunters to protect
themselves). Most supernatural hunters have to be very creative
about how they lure out spirit users like many supernaturals,
because of the fact that most learn over time how supernatural
hunters work, just like other supernaturals typically do.
Supernatural Hunter Counter Experts (Supernatural Hunter Spirit
Users):
~Because of the rivalry between some supernatural hunter groups,
there are some supernatural hunter groups that fight each other.
Because of this, most supernatural hunters also have to worry
about other supernatural hunter groups, or some supernatural
hunter hunter groups who use their own tactics against them,
which even applies to spirit users who become supernatural
hunters. Because of this, supernatural hunters have to be aware
of when groups are using their own tactics, and they have to
adapt and counter those tactics when they arise. This training
also teaches supernatural hunters how to avoid certain traps and
tracking that other supernaturals will use, with some groups
training their supernatural hunters how to counter the
supernatural hunter group rivals of the group they're trained by
(For example, the Christian churches may have rivalries with
different churches supernatural hunter groups, or certain other
secret groups like the Men of Letters may refuse to cooperate
with other groups). Because of this, it's also important for
supernatural hunters to realize that their enemies are not
always supernaturals, but sometimes other humans and other
supernatural hunters. This mostly applies to supernaturals that
double as supernatural hunters (and may apply to spirit users),
as they often come under scrutiny for hunting their own kind and
some human supernatural groups won't let them operate as
supernatural hunters in fear they may turn on humans. Because of
this, supernatural hunters are not only weary of supernaturals
they hunt, but also of other supernatural hunters (though many
supernatural hunters often form groups for better survival
chances). To an extent, supernatural hunters have to be weary of
supernatural hunters they might come across, though most have to
learn when other supernatural hunters are enemies and when they
are allies, or else they could make unnecessary enemies. Of
course, this also works to counter when supernaturals use this
as a means to counter supernatural hunters, which is a tactic
that many supernatural hunters are seeing more and more of in
the current days.
Spirit User Training: Presence Suppression/Crowd Blending:
~Most spirit users have to learn how to blend into crowds and
learn to avoid suspicion, usually as a way to avoid dark spirits
and some other supernaturals whether they are supernaturals or
supernatural hunters. While most normal people don't give many
spirit users a second glance, many still learn to blend into
crowds and learn to avoid suspicion from anyone that might find
them suspicious. And because many spirit users also live in the
open by learning to blend into crowds, this even more important
to avoid dangerous supernaturals who might try to take them out
if they are discovered. As such, the ability to blend into a
crowd is still just as important as it is for other
supernaturals and supernatural hunters. For the most part,
spirit users often learn the best ways to avoid drawing
attention to themselves in crowds, learning methods to keep
suspicion off them. For example, some will have ways to hide
their weapons when out in public, often wearing casual clothes
or clothes to fit whatever area they're in (such as wearing
clothes common to the area they're in to avoid looking out of
place) that can allow them to not show their weapons they may
carry with them. Thankfully, there are a number of skills spirit
users can learn to suppress their spiritual presence, or they
can learn to hide using other methods. For example, if being
hunted by a werewolf, a spirit user might use different colognes
to confuse a werewolf's sense of smell. Crowds can be very
useful, as crowds can mask someone's presence, due to so many
people often being in one area that many aspects are impossible
to differentiate, and hiding in crowds can make one hard to find
if they blend in to the crowd well enough, allowing a
supernatural hunter to be able to avoid suspicion from
supernaturals they are hunting or other supernaturals in general
(as supernaturals they are not hunting may attack them). For the
most part, this is something spirit users learn depending on
what they are, and how they choose to hide, so how this is used
is different depending on the spirit user.
Murderous Intent Sense:
~This lets those with this sense when an attack is coming,
usually by being able to tell when someone has the intent to
kill. This is a skill most warriors get by fighting constantly
for many years, learning how to sense someone's murderous intent
usually through encountering it first-hand enough that they
start to develop a strange sense that lets them read people and
be able to tell when someone has the intention to kill. This
lets the user read their environment as well as the people
around them in order to see what attacks might be coming their
way by reading an opponent's body language and the "sense" of
people around them. This gives them a passive sense of reading
people who might try to hurt them, as they can sense when
someone is ready to attack, and most people can usually sense
when that murderous intent is aimed at them. Some can sense this
literally as an aura through things like ki sense, but most
sense it in an instinctive way once their instincts have been
developed through constant fighting and battles. This gives the
user time to predict an attack, and to some extent, helps the
person predict what opponents will do in a fight by reading
their murderous intent. For example, by reading an opponent's
body language, such as how they move or how tense they might be,
a user of this can read opponents movements in order to predict
how they will fight or attack, as some have developed entire
fighting styles predicting people through this method, such as
the Hiten Mitsurugi sword style that uses this to predict
opponents. However, this sense is not perfect, and some
opponents can't be read if they can disguise their murderous
intent or they learn skills that can trick people with this
sense. Those who have no ability to feel emotions also don't
give off this murderous intent, as those who don't have emotions
don't feel the intent to kill. This sense is usually pretty
reliable unless one can suppress their murderous intent, and is
usually instinctive among people who have seen a lot of battle
and those that have fought for their lives multiple times. The
only real way to develop this is experience, as no amount of
training can truly grasp how this sense truly works as it is
only a passive ability that one can pick up by experiencing
murderous intent firsthand from enough people that they learn to
recognize the murderous intent in the feelings they get from
people.
Passive Abilities:
Spirit User Passive Skill: Iron Defense:
~This particular passive skill was based on the arrancar art,
hierro, which uses spirit power to strengthen the skin to
increase defense in battle as a passive skill. This power works
similar to dragon skin in how it operates, and uses spirit
energy emitting from the body to strengthen the skin as the
spirit energy flows to be released from the body. The degree of
the effectiveness of this skill 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
iron defense, the harder it is to pierce the spirit user. 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 thanks to the shadow based
spirit energy that is emitted from their body. 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. And
any user strong enough to physically over-power this defense can
do so without needing special techniques. This can also be more
easily pierced by those with stronger spirit power, where those
with stronger spirits can overpower the spirit used in this
skill. This also can only be used as long as a user has spirit
energy to spare, and once depleted of their spirit energy, they
cannot use this until they recover their spirit energy.
Spirit User Passive Skill: Accelerated Healing:
~While many consider the spirit users to always be
supernaturals, they are usually whatever race they are (many of
which are humans). If the spirit user is a race without
regeneration abilities, then they would heal only as fast as a
normal human. However, through physical focus and training, even
human spirit users have learned to train their bodies to heal
more quickly, by training their bodies into peak physical
condition and focusing their spiritual power into their bodies
to promote faster healing. While many spirit users do have
regeneration in some form, not all have regeneration, and
instead rely on this accelerated healing. As an example of the
effectiveness of this, a deep cut (as long as it doesn't
puncture an organ or other vital spot) could heal in a few days
(whereas most humans it would take months-years to heal), or
certain smaller injuries could heal in a matter of hours. This
utilizes peak physical and spiritual condition to train the
bodies, and is not actually supernatural regeneration. This
means that while spirit users can heal fast, this isn't a
supernatural method of regenerating, and is just them having
trained their bodies beyond that of most beings. As such, this
particular faster healing is not negated by things like varanium
or other regeneration negation abilities since this power is not
any form of supernatural or even tech based regeneration. While
spirit users can enhance their healing with things like
cybernetics and gaining certain supernatural race abilities,
most who don't have regeneration focus on building this up
through spiritual and physical training. As one might imagine
though, this is only an enhanced normal human level healing, and
doesn't use supernatural regeneration which means that certain
injuries cannot be healed naturally. For example, a spirit user
who loses a limb cannot regrow a limb simply from using this
healing, and this normal healing cannot be used to heal from
fatal injuries without help from someone who can heal them
before they die. This means that spirit users with this can
still be killed like they normally would be if they are forced
to only rely on this (like humans are normal to normal human
weaknesses).
Spirit User Training Passive Skill: Spiritual Attunement:
~This is a unique skill that spirit users develop. Through their
training, they are able to tune to their spirits, and this
grants them a unique sense of themselves. The first major aspect
of this is that a spirit user tunes to their spirit, and are
able to get a sense of what they need to do to help train their
spirit to get stronger. For example, some with positive spirit
power may meditate and be able to sense that training in a
certain way may grant them new abilities, or some may use this
connection to find ways of training that will help them grow
stronger more effectively than the training they'd normally do.
This isn't just about combat or training, but allows a spirit
user to truly understand their spirit and how it works. This
allows a user to gain a knowledge of their spirit that can help
them in many aspects, and also allows them to better utilize
their spirit user skills. By tuning to the spirit, users can
also gain a stronger connection to the spiritual plane, which is
the next aspect of this power. By tuning to the spiritual plane,
a spirit user is able to utilize this connection to sense the
spiritual, such as sensing spirits around them. When using this
attunement, spirit users can more easily sense what's around
them with their spirit sense, as this strengthens their
spiritual senses. When combining these two aspects, spirit users
typically are able to grow in ability with their spirit energy
much more effectively, and can more easily tap into the
potential that may be hidden in their spirits. Of course, this
doesn't have too much bearing on battles, as this is more about
training, attuning to the spiritual plane, and allowing a user
to more effectively learn to use their spirit powers. But it is
worth noting that spirit users cannot rush their growth, as they
can over-stress their spirits if they try to tap too deep into
their spirit and pull out their abilities too intensely. This
can cause damage to their spirit, and in extreme cases even
cause the user to stop being able to use spirit energy either
temporarily or permanently depending on the extremity of what
they're doing.
Spirit User Spirit Energy Affinities:
~Thanks to their training in the spirit, and them learning to
attune their spirits, spirit users often gain an affinity for
spirit energy abilities as they grow in their ability to draw on
their spirit energy. This allows some users to more easily learn
spirit user techniques and abilities as time goes on, where
spirit users develop a natural talent for utilizing their spirit
energy. Not only do they gain the affinity to learn new
abilities, but they will also gain affinities depending on their
spirit energy as well which can let them gain certain other
affinities. For example, a death wraith would gain a
shadow-based spirit energy affinity that would not only let them
use their spirit energy, but they would naturally be able to
learn to use the shadow part of their spirit energy effectively.
Another example may include dragons who can use their affinity
for whatever elemental spirit they possess (Such as a fire
dragon will have a draconic fire spirit energy affinity). This
affinity applies to all spirit energy users, and they are able
to not only more easily use their spirit energy, but they can
also more easily adapt their use of spirit energy to help them
out in certain situations. Every spirit user has some kind of
spirit energy affinity depending on their spirit energy, which
they not only can use, but can train up as they learn more about
their spirit power through their spiritual attunement. For this
affinity, depending on the race, spirit users can use their
spirit affinity in different ways, in which some can even learn
other abilities depending on what their spirit power can use.
For example, death wraith Kierran Black developed his own shadow
skills using spirit energy thanks to his affinity for spirit
energy, but also his affinity for his shadow based spirit energy
to utilize it in unique ways. This is different for every spirit
user depending on what they are and what abilities they have.
However, the affinities only apply to what race they are, and
they cannot learn other spirits of races they don't have. For
example, other races cannot suddenly learn ceros of hollows due
to hollows having different spirit power than other races (but a
hollow could more easily learn ceros since they have the
affinity for hollow spirit powers).
Spirit User Energy Resistance:
~Because the users train in the spirit, and they have heavy
training in countering energies, spirit users have a resistance
to other energies. Thanks to their spirit amplification of their
physical bodies, and the defense they have, they can more easily
defend against other energy users. Depending on the spirit user,
some can gain specific resistances depending on their other
skills, making spirit users a bit more unique from spirit user
to spirit user since some may not have the same particular
resistances. Every spirit user tends to gain some form of energy
resistance, and take reduced damage from other energy types.
Their spirit energy allows them to defend against many manners
of energy type attacks, from mana to chi to ki to even things
like sage energy or nature energy. Because of this defense,
energy users that are not spirit users tend to have a much
harder time breaking a spirit user's defenses, to which spirit
users can usually overpower other forms of energy (as long as
that spirit energy isn't too much stronger than theirs. Spirit
users can counter some more stronger energies out there, as long
as their spirit is focused enough to handle it, and their spirit
energy can handle the power of the energy generated. However, it
takes energy stronger than the spirit user to overpower their
spirit energy and damage them, so many energy users have to try
other strategies to get through spirit user defenses. However,
while they do gain resistance to other energies, they never gain
resistance to other spirit energy users, and can always take
normal damage from other spirit energy users or users of
spiritual powers. For example, spirit energy used in chakra or
aura might be able to be used to do regular damage with both
energies having some spirit energy. However, the biggest thing
that surpasses this is the spirit energy of hollows and dark
spirits, which no spirit users (even hollows or dark spirits)
gain complete resistance to since this power is essentially
stronger spirit energy use that can counter normal spirit
energy. And while some may gain resistances, others may have to
sacrifice other resistances as a result. Such as a magic user
may gain resistance to mana, but might gain less resistance to
chi magic as a result.
Spirit User Combat Spirit Adaption:
~Because spirit users tune their spirits and have to train their
spirits to use their spirit energy, spirit users have all
learned a natural combat talent when it comes to training
(though some spirit users have better combat talents than
others). Almost all spirit users train in physical combat and
supernatural combat in some way, and with enough training, they
can gain an affinity for adapting in combat, whether it's
through natural talent or through hard work. Any warrior can
mention how one or the other doesn't always mean one will have
an advantage over the other, as natural talent and hard work are
often best used in combination with each other. For spirit
users, even those without natural talent learn to adapt and
modify their spirit based combat style so that they can more
easily change up their styles in combat. While this isn't an
instant process, learning from combat allows a spirit user to
practice and learn how to adapt to certain combat styles and
supernatural abilities, as well as how to apply their own spirit
energy to their combat. Just as one might expect, this leads
most spirit users to be highly capable and adaptable warriors as
a result of this training and this talent they develop to adapt
their combat for the situations they might find themselves in.
Depending on the spirit users, many often find themselves with
natural enemies, so many train to defend themselves. All spirit
users have their own ways of adapting and learning to fight. And
as they train, they show how they adapt and grow as warriors.
However, while skilled in combat, no fighter is ever perfect,
and there is always room to grow, so this never truly hits a
cap. Typically this combat depends on the spirit user and their
training, as each will come up with different ways to use this.
For example, younger spirit users will usually train hard and
get stronger, faster and more durable between battles, but older
spirit users that have been fighting for a long time often hit a
cap in how high their physical abilities can get and instead
focus on becoming more efficient fighters rather than just
trying to grow in physical stats. It is also worth noting that
depending on the spirit user, some may have more talent than
others, and some may have more talent for some aspects of
combat, while others have more talent for other aspects.
Spirit User Body, Mind and Spirit 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, as all
spirit users require specific training to utilize their spirit
energy. Those who train their spirit energy have to not only
train physically to their limit and their minds, but they also
have to push their spirit energy beyond it's limits, training
the spirit to generate more power on a consistent basis. By
combining training of the body, mind and spirit, spirit users
can develop the ability to utilize their spirit energy more
effectively, and can utilize stronger spirit energy through
training in this manner. When training, most have their own ways
of doing so, usually thanks to other spirit users or mentors who
might teach them good ways to train their spirit energy
abilities. 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 to train the spirit to
use stronger spirit energy. Just as those like ki users have to
push their body to produce more ki, spirit users also have to
push their spirit to build more spirit energy. There are many
ways to do this, but those who train in spirit energy have to
train harder than most people who use typical energy do in order
to grow as spirit users. This may not be a problem for some who
have high levels of spirit, but those that do not have stronger
spirits have to train much more harshly, making this a good path
of training for those that want to become powerful. However, it
is difficult in the beginning for those that don't have as much
affinity for spiritual abilities, and even some stronger spirit
users can have trouble with controlling their spirit energy.
Since most people do start small in training, massive training
is often necessary at some point 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.
Spirit User Multi-Linguists/Language Learning:
~Depending on the spirit user, there are many that often travel
the world, or may learn other languages to interact with others.
In addition, many spirit users have been around for a very long
time and have had time to travel the world. Some older spirit
users may even know certain out of date dead languages
(languages with no new words being added and aren't spoken
anymore), with some even being familiar with certain older
languages that most wouldn't know. However, the time they have
spent fighting supernaturals may also lead them to learning
certain other languages with uses beyond speaking, such as
learning Enochian to learn more about how to counter angels, or
learning Hebrew to learn more about fallen angels and demons and
how to counter them. Of course, that's not to also mention the
fact that many spirit users have at least a few spoken languages
they have to learn, with English, Spanish, and French being
among the most common language families for them to learn. And
for older spirit users who learn more languages, many can
develop an affinity for learning new languages, to which they
can learn new languages more easily once they have begun to
study how languages are formed. It is also easier to learn a
language if one is familiar with the language tree, such as
Spanish and Portuguese being very similar languages due to being
in the same language tree (though some might find the similarity
between similar languages a bit too difficult to learn at
times). Overall, spirit users often have multiple languages,
whether it's for learning about supernaturals, or just learning
it to be able to communicate with other people who speak other
languages. Regardless of the initial reason, most spirit users
know at least a few languages, and have an affinity for learning
new languages due to having to learn multiple languages that
they learn to pick up on other languages much more easily. Of
course, younger spirit users may or may not know multiple
languages, and this may just depend on the spirit user in
general.
Spirit User Enhanced Life Span:
~Depending on the race, spirit users typically live far longer
than normal humans. While there are races that do live a lot
longer, like say death wraiths living to almost a million years,
even human spirit users develop an enhanced life span. It is
believed to be due to the fact that spirit energy tends to have
a bit of a restorative effect on aging, as some older beings who
use spirit energy techniques have temporarily gone back into
their prime for a short time. This restorative effect seems to
also be what allows spirit users to more easily heal from
injuries through training, and this helps them even counter the
effects of aging to a degree. Even among spirit users that are
human or of a race without regeneration and enhanced life spans,
many spirit users often live for hundreds of years, with the
oldest human spirit user being over 200 years old and still
living. It takes far longer for spirit users to age than most
other beings, and unlike other races with regeneration, their
life span is not about their regeneration eventually breaking
down over time like it is with many other races. Instead spirit
users often have this restorative effect until they die, and
often takes much longer for them to show signs of aging than
humans. While their lifespan may not seem much compared to
beings like angels and demons (who have an indefinite life
span), spirit users can live extremely long lives. This can even
be longer if a spirit user is of a race with regeneration, as
one might expect. However, those with regeneration and this
restorative effect may live even longer than their normal life
span, due to this effect being something that never truly goes
away unless a user stops using spirit energy and stops focusing
it through training. However, this doesn't mean that spirit
users still can't be killed by normal means, as spirit users
usually can be killed by whatever kills their particular race
(IE human could be killed like any other human). This mostly
only applies to their natural aging, not being killed in battle
or dying as result of some sort of accident. This also may not
help them with certain illnesses, which can still kill them if
the illness can overpower their restoration and/or regeneration.
Supernatural Telepathy:
~This ability lets a supernatural creature communicate
telepathically with anyone they can connect to. Typically this
power uses their supernatural power, in which they use it to
tune to a person if they know where they are in order to
communicate with them. This lets them communicate with other
people without having to speak, with them being able to share
thoughts directly with others when the creature isn't speaking
out loud. However, usually the creature has to know where the
person is to use this basic telepathy since they have to know
where to send their thoughts and communication. However, this
doesn't apply to those who establish permanent connections (as
this allows those with permanent connections to always be able
to communicate with someone they have this permanent connection
with), such as connecting to other family members and close
friends. This lets creatures not only communicate with those
they have a permanent connect with, but can also tell them where
they are at any time should they require to find them or need to
be summoned to them (which some supernaturals can learn to
summon those that they have special connections with). Those who
are set up with permanent connections have to accept the
connection, and even then, they can sever it if they choose to.
However, there are ways to block telepathic communications, such
as certain frequencies that may confuse the mind's ability to
process telepathy, or certain wards that might prevent
telepathy. There are also certain types of opponents who can
listen in on communication done telepathically (it is rare, but
sometimes it does happen sometimes with certain psychic
opponents). For spirit users, they are also able to learn this,
but their method is slightly different. For spirit users, they
use their spirits to communicate with others, rather than their
minds. this works the same in operation, but is more just a
unique way of using this skill.
Spirit User Enhanced Intelligence, Memory and Reflexes:
~Depending on the spirit user, most spirit users have enhanced
minds thanks to their supernatural power. The first thing that
is enhanced is their intelligence, in which some spirit users
gain certain intelligence boosts depending on what kind of
creature they are and what supernatural power they possess. This
has a few uses, such as allowing a spirit user to more easily
learn information, or might help spirit users develop strategies
for certain situations. Depending on the spirit user, some might
gain stronger intelligence than others, and depending on the
race, they may have ways to utilize this. The second enhancement
is to the spirit user's memory, where spirit users typically
have very good memory thanks to their spiritual enhancement of
the mind and the focus they do in meditation. Many spirit users
have a hard time forgetting things, and some smarter spirit
users may even have a photographic memory or eidetic memory. The
last enhancement that spirit users gain is the enhancement of
their reflexes, which allows them to react much faster than most
creatures can due to many spirit users often having a major
talent and end up training specifically for combat. Depending on
the spirit user and the training some spirit users are able to
utilize their enhanced reflexes to react far more quickly, with
older and more experienced spirit users sometimes even learning
to train their reflexes to allow them to dodge attacks without
thinking, a highly advanced combat skill among supernaturals and
even martial artists. Typically, all of these enhancements work
in unison, and depending on the spirit user, the balance of
enhancements may be different depending on the specific spirit
user, and their natural abilities (such as smarter spirit users
might gain better intelligence, but more combat-based spirit
users could gain stronger reflexes). Typically, most spirit
users are either balanced with a slight increase to all their
enhanced mind stats, or they can specialize in specific stats
for higher stats, but this usually means lesser stats in certain
other aspects as a result (Like an enhanced intelligence and
reflexes might have poor memory).
Spirit User Enhanced Senses:
~Depending on the spirit user, most spirit users developed
enhanced senses thanks to their training (though how enhanced
and what senses they develop may depend on the race they are).
Depending on the race, some spirit users may develop extra
senses as well, such as how werecreatures are able to see in the
dark as though it were light out, and are able to operate even
in complete darkness thanks to their supernatural vision. Some
spirit users may have varying degrees of sense enhancement,
since this may have a unique balance of senses that is different
between each spirit user. However, this isn't just about new
senses, but spirit users also can gain enhanced normal senses as
well. For example, spirit users may gain enhanced sight, where
their sight can become enhanced to see more effectively or see
farther than others. Enhanced hearing may allow a spirit user to
hear things from further away than others can normally. Enhanced
smell can allow a spirit user to smell things that normal people
would miss, though their sense of smell may or may not compare
to certain supernaturals like werewolves (depending on what race
the user is). And enhanced touch can allow a user to more easily
use their sense of touch to detect things that might come into
contact with them, or can allow them to feel things around them
more effectively than other races. This depends mostly on the
spirit user, and partially what race they are. However, while
most spirit users do gain enhanced senses, some with more
enhanced senses can be overwhelmed by certain things, such as
enhanced sight could be overwhelmed by a flashbang, or a strong
sense of smell could be overwhelmed with a strong enough smell.
This depends on the user and their senses, but most spirit users
can be overwhelmed in their senses in some way if their senses
are enhanced enough. Some that are more balanced in their senses
may not be as easy to overwhelm if their senses are not strong
enough to be, but this comes with the drawback of not having the
same enhanced senses. And other enhanced senses still have the
same weaknesses (IE Darkvision being overwhelmed by intense
light).
Spirit User Spirit Sense:
~This is a unique spirit sense that is specific to spirit users.
This allows a spirit user to read any spiritual energy in an
area. This is often used in two major ways. The first is that a
user uses this to get a general sense of their surroundings and
anyone or anything with spirit energy around them. In the world,
everything (even objects) have spirit energy, so this acts like
a sense for almost everything around the spirit user (though
some may not be able to sense the spirits of objects depending
on their skill level with this). This is more of a general
sense, and done to allow one to get a sense of an area more than
trying to read an opponent. However, this does read a person's
spirit energy and allow a user to read how much spirit energy
one has, as well as sense what they are based on the presence
they give off (assuming they are not a creature that has a
suppressed presence). The second way of using this is far more
specific. Instead of focusing on an area, a spirit user instead
uses this sense to focus in on one spirit in particular, in
which they tune their senses specifically to that spiritual
presence. Not only can they sense the person's presence to tell
what they are and how much spirit energy they have, but this
also allows a spirit user to read his opponents to some degree,
in which some spirits can use this to predict opponents if they
are skilled enough with using this skill. Unlike other senses,
this power takes effort and time to learn, so spirit users have
to train at using this. Users that use this may require time and
concentration when starting out, and even advanced users have to
focus more in order to use it on a specific person, which could
leave them open to counterattack by others that the hollow isn't
focused on. Another thing to note is that when a spirit user
opens up this sense, it opens them up to the spirit plane, which
can also be a bad thing due to the fact that it is usually at
this point in their training where they may be attacked by
things like hollows and dark spirits who may come after them. In
the words of London Qrow Darkfire: Once you see them (dark
spirits), they see you. This is words to live by for spirit
users, and spirit users have to be careful.
Inner Spirit/Inner World Sense/Protection:
~Like soul reapers are specifically trained to do, 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 by learning
to control their inner world. This goes by many names, where
different races will call this different things. Among names
this goes by is one's "inner world," "inner spirit," and "the
mind's landscape." Spirit users learn, much like some other
races, how to control this mental landscape, and learn how this
landscape will reflect the state of their mind. 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. This depends
partially on the race, as some races have unique methods of
doing this. However, by changing the mental landscape, one is
often able to reflect their mind in their inner spirit, where
spirit users can usually use this to either control their minds.
Most who use this art to control their emotions are able to fool
even those with psychic abilities, in which they can control
what psychic people are able to read, and can even use that to
their advantage (though this is usually among more advanced
users of this skill, and most basic users are still vulnerable
to this). However, another use of this is among races with soul
bound items or spirits that may lie in their spirit (the most
common examples being death wraith soul swords and soul reaper
zanpakutos), where users have to learn to go into their inner
world in order to awaken what may lie in them. However, not all
spirit users have things that lie in their spirit, as this
depends more on the race. However, all spirit users can use this
to some degree to control their minds, as they often learn to
control this inner world through meditation and learn to control
this mindscape through focus (as spirit users use meditation in
some form to focus, which allows them to develop a use of this
skill).
Spirit User Supernatural and Combat Trained Enhanced Physical
Stats:
~Zoe is one of the strongest human spirit users in the
multiverse due to her being trained by many different people
from different worlds ever since she was a child. Zoe is a
balanced fighter who is able to defend herself and go up against
many opponents from metahumans to even dangerous hybrids such as
demigods, which makes sense due to her originally being from the
Olympus universe. She is also dangerous due to her learning
Darkfire abilities despite her being a human. Just like other
spirit users, Zoe is a formidable opponent in the spirit plane
like she is in the physical plane. Although she is a balanced
fighter, those with immense speed or strength can give Zoe a
hard time, especially if she's not careful.
Weaknesses:
Spirit energy users still have race weaknesses of whatever they
are. Every race spirit user still has their races particular
weaknesses, as spirit users are still whatever race they are at
their core. While some races may be harder to kill than others
(such as angels and demons often being able to regenerate from
their bodies being mostly destroyed), all races have some form
of weaknesses. For many races, many races can usually be killed
by destroying the heart or brain of the user, or some races may
be able to be killed more easily by beheading. While spirit
users can heal injuries using spirit healing, and do have faster
healing than normal humans, spirit users can still be killed
like any other mortal creature. And depending on the race, some
races may have other weaknesses, such as death wraiths have a
weakness to blessed sea salt and iron. And typically, spirit
user's spirit energy may be able to be countered more easily by
iron, due to iron being useful for dispelling spiritual power.
All races have some weaknesses, and even with regeneration,
there are ways around regeneration. While spirit user
accelerated healing is not weak to varanium or other
regeneration negation abilities, those races with regeneration
can still have their regeneration negated by whatever
regeneration negation items or abilities that might be used on
them. While spirit users are strong usually, they still take
damage based on the type of creature they are, and their
physical stats can only help them so much in battle. One major
weakness though that spirit users often have is that they can
more easily be killed by other spiritual powers, in which
creatures like hollows and dark spirits may be able to more
easily kill spirit users since spirit users are more vulnerable
to spirit power. As this is hard to quantify for each race,
players should list whatever weaknesses their character has
depending on what race they are.
Spirit energy users have a harder time training spirit energy
than most other energy users, due to spirit energy requiring
more intense training. This is due to the fact that they have to
push their bodies, spirits and minds to the limit, which usually
means pushing far beyond what most training regiments will go
for. As such, this training may be effective, but it is much
harder to keep up with than most other training for 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 and requires constant training to keep
their spiritual power (a lack of training and focusing spirit
power may result in the spirit user losing their enhanced spirit
user skills). 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. And depending on the spirit, each spirit may
require different training. For example, stronger spirit
presences may have much more spirit energy, but will be much
harder to control than those spirit users without strong
spiritual energy. And with weaker spirit users, they may not
have as strong spirit energy which will require more focus and
concentration to use stronger spirit energy (but weaker spirit
users don't have to worry about losing control of their spirit
usually). And depending on the race, some spirits may be easier
or harder to train, such as some races that use spirit energy
naturally (like soul reapers or hollows) may be able to learn
this more effectively than races that may not be able to use
this naturally. There is no real way to circumvent the amount of
work one has to put into their training, and some may enjoy the
intense training, while others may be discouraged by how much
training it may take to keep up their power.
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 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 or has other spirit energy used 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 might think (spirit users can push their spirits beyond
their limits, but there is a limit they can hit where anymore
strain will cause damage to their spirit). This also means that
it is important to know the limits of one's own spirit and not
push too far beyond it to the point that it damages the body and
spirit. Just like some other energies, drawing too much could
risk killing the user, another danger of overuse of spirit
energy. 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.
There are two parts of the spirit that must be protected by
spirit users. The first is known as the Chain of Fate. When a
spirit user separates from their body (usually in astral
projection), a user is tied to their body through what is known
as the Chain of Fate, that acts like an anchor. Whether or not
this is visible is dependent on the race, and some can learn to
hide their chain of fate (where it won't be able to be attacked
unless one attacks the source of the Chain of Fate. This chain
connects to where the chest would be in the spirit form, and if
severed, a spirit cannot return to their body. However, while
this is instant death usually for the body if this is severed
(meaning spirit users have to be very careful when in astral
projection against anything that can sever their Chain of Fate),
the biggest problem comes after the chain is severed. If the
Chain of Fate is severed, the chain will rot away and the user
will become a hollow if they don't go to the afterlife before
their chain is fully degraded and melts away (a process that
takes some time, but is a danger to any spirit that is in the
living world and isn't alive). This particular part of the
spirit usually cannot be attacked when a spirit user is in their
physical body, but some spiritual opponents can attack this
without attacking physically (such as hollows and soul reapers
are trained to attack this specifically. As mentioned, severing
the soul chain separates the body from the spirit, and can kill
the body if the user cannot find a way to return to their
bodies. It is very rare for a spirit to return to the body after
their Chain of Fate is severed, and the only known way to avoid
this fate is either to become a hollow, or become a soul reaper
if one has the potential to become a soul reaper. Luckily, there
are very few that know that this is a problem, but spiritual
opponents like hollows and dark spirits are fully aware of this
and may seek to attack a spirit user's chain of fate
specifically. This means that spirit users have to learn to
defend that part of their spirit or risk death. However,
thankfully, it is very hard to sever a chain of fate, and
usually this only happens at the moment of physical death. This
does work differently depending on the race though, such as
hollows don't have a chain of fate due to theirs rotting away
(meaning they don't have this problem), and creatures like soul
reapers chain of fates change due to them being spiritual
beings.
The second part of the spirit to note is just as important for
one simple reason: 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 (though it is not usually visible). 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 or they could risk
being made to lose their spirit 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 (with the one exception of hidden
spirit power sometimes working to restore this, but it is rare).
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. Thankfully, this part of the soul is not visible,
so it is much harder to attack than a Chain of Fate. Typically,
those that have lost their soul chain are not in danger of
becoming a hollow, but they do stop generating spirit energy
which weakens them severely both physically and spiritually, and
may lead to death if the body can't handle the loss of spirit
energy in the body. While some spirit users can survive the lose
of their soul chain, they do lose all their spirit power in the
process of losing their soul chain. While there may be ways to
regain the spirit chain, there are no really known ways to
restore it consistently. And this may work differently depending
on the race, such as soul reapers and arrancars may become human
souls once they lose their soul chain.
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 until they have
recovered their spirit energy (which may take varying amounts of
time depending on the user and how depleted their spirit energy
is. And as stated, trying to use them after running out of
spirit energy can be very disastrous. This is as much a problem
for spirit users as any other spirit user, where once they run
out, they won't be able to attack. And if still in a battle with
something like a hollow or a dark spirit, this can be a very bad
thing since spirit energy is what allows spirit users to attack
hollows and dark spirits. So spirit users have to manage their
spirit energy and be careful how much they use, or they could
end up in dangerous situations if they run out. And when they
run out, they lose their spirit amplification abilities, as well
as their body and spirit being more vulnerable to attack.
Another thing to note is that unlike other energy types, spirit
users' spirit energy may be limited by the size of their body,
or those with larger bodies may be able to release stronger
spirit energy (not always the case though). Smaller opponents
are not able to put out more spirit energy at once than someone
who is much larger, with certain exceptions. 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 larger bodies can. This also means
that larger bodies are also able to generate more spirit energy
than those of smaller statures. Typically, there are exceptions
to this, such as those born with natural strong spirit energy
may be able to generate stronger spirit despite being smaller
statures. Usually, those with smaller statures usually rely more
on focus and concentration to fight those with stronger spirit,
whereas those with larger statures may focus more on raw spirit
power. Of course, this is before taking into account the spirit
user's race, which some races may have stronger spirits than
others.
Typically, spirit energy is counter-able like other energies,
with other energies like chi and mana being able to counter like
one would expect. There are many energies out there, and many
energy types can counter spirit energy. While spirit users are
able to counter energy users more easily, such as countering
things like mana and chi more easily, strong enough energies can
still overpower a spirit user's energy. However, with those
energies, it does take more to overpower a spirit user than it
normally would thanks to a spirit user's resistance to energy.
Normally, it takes other energies that are not spiritual in
nature much more to counter spirit energy. There is another way
counter spirit energy, and that is with other spirit energies.
Spirit energy is more easily able to counter other spirit
energy, as spirit energy is meant to interact and intersect on a
spiritual plane. This leads to spirit energy of other creatures
usually being great at countering spirit energy of spirit users,
and the only requirement is that the spirit energy has to be as
strong or stronger than the spirit user's energy. However, it
doesn't have to be energy that can counter spirit power, or it
doesn't have to be other spirit power that counters spirit
energy, but those with enough raw physical power can actually
overpower the energy of spirit users. There have been stronger
spirit users that have immense raw physical power that have
overpowered energy attacks, with one of the more known examples
being Toguro, the human turned demon who is known for his raw
strength that has allowed him to overpower extremely strong
spirit power without needing his own spirit energy. In this
manner, raw strength can overcome spirit energy if the person
with enough strength can overpower the energy, as well as the
effects of the energy (which is different depending on the race
and the spirit energy used). And as one might imagine, aura
breaker items and weapons are also able to dispel spirit energy
like any other energy, with the only exception being any
spiritual techniques that might solidify their spirit energy
into solid form (which there are rare unique skills that can do
that, but this must be stated by players). Aura breaker weapons
and abilities are a great way to take on any energy user, and
this includes spirit users.
Due to many spirit users having enhanced spirits, spirit users
have a number of creatures that end up attracted to them as a
result of their enhanced spirits. Among physical beings that
hunt them down are soul eaters, who may seek out spirit users
for their enhanced and more powerful spirit to grant them more
power. Soul eaters are a very common threat, as there are some
that specifically hunt down spirit users. However, the most
common threat to a spirit user are dark spirits and hollows, as
well as other evil spirits from the spirit plane. When a spirit
user gains the ability to see the spirit plane, it is like
opening a door to that plane. While the spirit user can see the
spirit plane and interact with it, other spirits can also
interact with the user. Because of this, training often leads to
spirit users being attacked by dark spirits and hollows, enough
that spirit users have to learn specifically how to fight them.
For dark spirits, spirit users don't need spirit purification to
destroy a dark spirit thanks to their ability to attack on the
spiritual plane, but that doesn't mean that dark spirits can't
also counter spirit users in return. Dark spirits have plenty of
their own abilities as dark spirits that can counter spirit
users, and dark spirits are a major enemy that spirit users
contend with. For hollows, hollows will devour any souls they
get a hold of, but many will often go after stronger souls
because stronger souls are usually more satisfying when it comes
to their hunger for souls. Spirit users can also attack hollows
on a spiritual level, but they cannot purify hollows after
beating them, nor can they completely destroy hollows on their
own unless they have a power that lets them do so (such as soul
reapers or death wraiths have ways to purify souls after beating
hollows). For the most part, these particular dangers are the
biggest dangers of being a spirit user besides enemies they make
during the course of their life. As it has been put: Once you
see the spirit plane, the spirit plane sees you. Spirit users
have to remember this, as this will shape their lives as they
learn to use their spirit energy.
Although Zoe have lived over 200 years, she is still mortal so
she can die just like any other human, though she's just a
little tougher to kill. Zoe can get migraines and be stressed
due to having zapper powers. Power negation can render her
powers useless and making her a ordinary human. Since she is a
lightning user, she is weak to water unless she uses her ice
lightning powers though earth and wind powers can counter her
lightning powers. Rubber makes her lightning powers useless. She
has to physically attack or touch an intangible being in order
to cancel the intagibility power. Hell's Gate pieces can
interrupt her power and do damage to her if she's too close or
if it touch her skin. Zoe has the family curse known as the
Zolnerowich Curse. It's unknown if someone put an actual curse
on them or not but trouble seem to follow the Zolnerowich
family, even when they least expect it. Not all trouble magnet
curses are the same. Some have it happen every two weeks or so
while others got it every five seconds. Zoe's trouble magnet
curse isn't as bad as V's or Maya's but it's pretty bad,
especially due to her being in different worlds now. The best
she can do about this curse is to not let her guard down, even
if she's asleep.
Transformation(s):
Full Power Spirit Release: Spirit Lightning:
~Arrancars, soul reapers, and certain vampires like the
Darkfires use this kind of transformation without really
thinking too much about it, where they release the full power of
their spirit to reach a more powerful state. However, many don't
fully understand what this power actually is. Usually, this
state releases the full potential temporarily of the person who
uses it, where they gain enhanced physical and supernatural
stats, even sometimes gaining abilities that can only be used in
their released form. This typically depends on the user, since
each user's potential is different, and the unlocking of this is
different for each race. For example, soul reapers unlock this
through their zanpakuto's bankai, or an arrancar uses their
zanpakuto to use this by going into resurreccion form. Every
race has different ways of doing this, and many different races
have different final results (with most often being unique to
the user, making all instances of this full release form
different). Some people may even just gain a slightly enhanced
stat boost and not change much at all, while others may gain
special abilities that make them seem radically different. The
transformation is different for each person and race, making it
rare to see two of the same releases. And depending on the user,
every race may release their full power differently, so this is
hard to quantify and explain how every spirit user may learn to
release their full power. However, the one thing all releases
share in common is that they cannot be used for long, and once
the user runs of out of spirit energy, they will return to
normal. This can be used by almost any spirit user, though a
spirit user has to awaken this in their full spirit, usually by
overcoming a side of themselves they try to suppress (usually
through meditation), and after defeating that side of themselves
(usually in a mental battle), they will gain this ability. For
the most part though, these transformations usually come with
weaknesses as well, such as a fire-based transformation may be
weaker to ice and water abilities, or a larger transformed state
might make the user tankier (meaning they won't have as much
speed, but have increased strength and defense).
Zoe's released state acts like a super saiyan form but instead
of going blond, Zoe is surrounded by spirit lightning. This
released form isn't much other than just boosting her physical
stats and powers.
High Level Spirit User Transformation: Divine/Dark States:
~If a spirit user reaches a level where they go into a divine
state or a dark state, they learn to transform into those states
at will through training and meditation. These states are
different for each user, and typically replace the full release
spirit user states rather than being an addition to them, and
some uses of this may even be modifications of the full release
state. Like the release states, this is different from spirit
user to spirit user, as each one will have unique divine or dark
states depending on what they choose. Spirit users all attain
this state mostly the same way, with the spirit users eventually
learning to tap deep enough into their spirits to awaken this
skill (which usually is done through experience, but very rare
cases of natural talent might awaken this kind of state early
depending on the user). These divine and dark states are
different depending on the user, where each use will often have
unique abilities and requirements to use. Divine state users
will often have to meditate and learn to clear their minds to
effectively use a divine state, such as Olympus Goten Uchiha who
can use his divine state thanks to his meditation and focus. For
dark states, usually their meditation is focused around negative
spirit meditation, where they focus on strengthening their
spirit amplification using anger and hatred amplification, with
one example being the Olympus alternate Kazuma Uchiha who gained
a dark state through his own hatred focus. Divine and dark
states are typically opposites, but the one thing they share in
common is that it takes a lot to awaken these powers, and higher
level spirit users have to train for years usually to gain this
power. Another common thing with these states is that users may
only be able to attain the full power of these states as they
get older, and may not be able to use the full abilities when
they're younger. Some users also may or may not be able to stay
in this state for long, as some divine and dark states can be
very draining on their power depending on the state. Depending
on the state, each state will often have unique strengths and
weaknesses, with each state being different. This means that
players will have to state the strengths and weaknesses of each
state.
Zoe is able to gain a divine state after training with Zaz and
Olympus Goten. This Divine State taps into her spirit energy
that she has gained ever since she was just a child. In this
form, Zoe's eyes glow emerald green along with her aura. Ancient
Slavic markings appear all over her arms. Due to her being from
the Olympus universe, Zoe has one of the strongest divine state
forms, being able to face off against gods, powerful demigods,
demon lords and some primordial creatures.
Weapons:
Grenades:
~Zoe has three acid and two explosive grenades from Special
Forces. These need to be replaced (by each one rp post)
Guns:
~Two pistols that she got from VI. These guns are made
specifically for her due to her abnormal spirit energy. These
guns can handle her spirit powers and can be infused with her
power as well. Just like the mana blade, these guns can shift
into any kind of slaying weapon such as a vampire slaying gun.
Since Zoe is originally from the Olympus universe, this weapon
is capable of harming and killing deities and demon kings.
Black Hawk Military Tactical Gloves:
~Since she can't rely on guns all of the time, she had no other
choice but to get some that can help out in close combat. These
gloves were a Christmas gift from V after Zoe helped her with a
giant problem in Siberia. With some help from a forger, these
gloves are made out of Hillwen ore and Shyllien crystals. Not
only the gloves are very durable but it's also enhanced in
spirit power as well. When the gloves are touched together, it
created sparks of lightning from the shock crystal enhancement
with stronger hits on the gauntlets generating stronger sparks
of electricity. The gloves can also change into claws or spikes
to Zoe's decision with the help of her spirit powers.
Bladed Tonfa:
~Another weapon Zoe has got in her home universe. Like her
gloves, the Hillwen upgrade made the tonfa far stronger in
durability along with having a armor piercing ability. The tonfa
also has the sonic slicer power, which also vibrates at intense
speeds once activated despite it not seeming like it's moving.
This blade can be use to infuse her spirit powers in along with
it being able to cut down some full dragons since some are a lot
stronger than others.
Item(s):
Ocean Blue Continuum Crystal: Plane Navigator Crystal:
~This Continuum Crystal is a powerful planar navigation crystal.
It bestows the ability to open dimensional portals at will to
its user. It also helps the user to pinpoint the exact dimension
that they wish to travel. The Plane Navigator Crystal allows its
user to view where they want to go in the chosen dimension from
a bird's eye view. The user can pull the mental image in closer
until they find exactly where they want to be. The crystal also
protects the user from any course diverting events that could
disrupt dimensional travel, leaving only a 10% chance of a
course diversion. The crystal also gives the user the ability of
Natural Navigation where the user can never get lost. Natural
Navigation means that the user's senses and internal compass are
so strong that the user can detect which direction to go in
order to achieve a chosen goal. The crystal gives the user the
ability of water manipulation and marine animal control. The
crystal is a deep ocean blue with the color fluxing, rolling and
crashing like a primordial ocean. Its ocean movement like color
changes become more violent the angrier that the user gets.
Plane Navigator Crystal is one of the Continuum Crystal that can
restrain Exiles Kendrix's power and emotions should he lose
control or his Master Crystal's restraint power is negated.
Plane Navigator Crystal is in the hands of Zoe in the form of a
soul-bound necklace. This necklace also gives her the ability to
use electric water powers due to her being a zapper.
Suppression Ring:
~This ring was given to Zoe by London Kindron Darkfire ever
since she was young. This ring conceals her spirit powers to the
point that it's barely detectable. Although she can still use
her spirit power, it's still suppressed and acts as a limiter.
This ring is helpful to keep enemies such as hollows and dark
spirits from finding and harassing her. It also help her travel
in some worlds such as the Apocalypse universe since she has
grown strong to the point that her power alone would keep her
out of the world who has people who raised and cared for her.
Personality:
Zoe is mostly quiet around strangers but can warm up to those
who proves that she can trust them. She is pretty cheerful and
optimistic around her friends and family, especially around her
big sister, Maya. She doesn't get easily scared around monsters
and gods like she used to when she was younger but she is still
very cautious around some people regardless of race, especially
those align with Xeles or Phantom. Over the years, Zoe grew to
be a strong and intelligent person who use her wits and wisdom
to defeat enemies though she's not afraid to find help if she
needs it. Zoe is a caring person and will try to help her family
or friends however she can, though thanks to hanging out with
the likes of Drake, Zaz, Megan, etc., Zoe became a bit of a
smartass and foul mouthed, especially toward those who gets on
her nerves. Like London Kindron, Zoe doesn't like killing and
will only do it if it's the last resort.
Bio:
Zoe was born and raised in a military family and is the youngest
since Maya is the oldest. She use to be by her side and always
look up to her and Vendetta. Later on, she develop some mental
powers and was trained. She is mostly around her sister or
cousin whenever she's out in public since she's shy around
people. She also know about the world of gods and monsters since
a dream demon try to harm her but was stopped when she imagined
a Russian bear spirit that kill him. Unfortunately, that monster
came to life in the real world and almost killed her father. Zoe
calmed the beast down and named it Mark. Mark liked the name and
disappeared. She doesn't use her powers unless she really has
to. Zoe ended up in this world when she was attacked by a
monster who worked for the Titans. They tried to teleport her to
their domain but Zoe ended up in the London universe due to the
timeline being damaged. In the timeline, Zoe was lost and
confused until she was abducted by a cruel vampire woman and was
held prisoner by her along with many other human victims. She
was a prisoner there for weeks until two Exiles members named
Jon Talbain and Mystique came into the horror house and rescued
her along with their friend and a few other captured members who
were still alive. She ended up in the Hellsing manor where she
met new people such as Kindron Darkfire, Acillia Rynn-Darkfire,
Raven Tepes and Twilly. Realizing that she'll be stuck in this
strange universe for a while, Zoe was a little bummed and was
questioning herself as a human which the adults who helped her
told her that her kind doesn't deserve such cruelty and that
there are some good humans in the world. On that note, Zoe
remained with the Hellsing and Exiles members for a few years,
making new friends and enemies in the broken dimension and later
on in her own world once the crisis was fixed. Over the years,
she trained and sometimes visit her friend, Tarlin along with
the other allies and friends. When she got old enough,
she joined The Exiles and start to learn new abilities with her
spirit powers.
Throughout her late teens and early 20s, Zoe tried to figure out
what happened to her mother which nearly costed her her life
when she met and fought a very bloodthirsty adlet creature named
Yakone. She found out that a Slavic witch and Yakone attacked
her parents when they accidentally ended up in their territory.
When the witch used her magic on Natasha, she survived
miraculously along with killing the hag in self defense before
fleeing with her husband. When they made it back to Russian
Special Forces, they found out that Natasha was pregnant with
Zoe and the witch hit her with a cursed spirit energy spell. The
mages there manage to help Natasha before the spell took in some
effect but not all of the cursed spirit spell was out, thus
cursing Zoe. Zoe came out healthy when she was born, which is
revealed that Zoe gained special powers. Zoe also found out that
Yakone was the one who really killed her parents and tried to
kill Maya one time. Olympus Kadrian manage to save Zoe from her
gruesome fate and the two killed Yakone together.
