"I am one of Russia's best... and I will make sure they know
it."
"It's time that we actually do something about this threat,
before we fall and they take everything."
~Captain Alisa Voronin during a meeting when the hollows were
invading the Earth.
"What am I going to do to you? Oh it's simple really... I'm
going to strap you to that table, and then you and me are going
to have a bit of fun with this knife."
~Alisa to a member of Hyperion she's interrogating for
information.
"Sergei is one of the greatest soldiers I have ever fought
alongside with. Unfortunately, when it comes to technology...
let's just say that there's a reason that he comes to me."
During one of Alisa's spar sessions, Sam was hesitant due to how
ruthless Alisa can be at times.
Sam: Can't you see this is wrong?
Alisa: Let's call it "enhanced training".
Sam: If it makes you feel better.
Maya: I don't wanna hurt you, Aunt Alisa.
Alisa: Well, you're the least of my worries.
Maya: Yeah, Uncle Sergei would kill us both if he knew.
Alisa: You...
Kano: Come on, then.
Alisa: Max should have killed you years ago!
Alisa: I don't like this. I know that this is our job but...
this is wrong. For God's sake, this is our own niece. What the
hell was that bastard thinking?!
Zukovsky: I know, Alisa. Trust me, none of us like this either.
But we got our orders.
Alisa exhale sharply through her nose and fold her arms.
Dragunov place a reassuring hand on Alisa's shoulder.
Zukovsky: Look at it this way. We're helping the kid out. And we
can prove that they don't have to be on her ass 24/7.
~Alisa in a private discussion with Dragunov and Zukovsky when
they were given orders by their former Captain to keep an eye on
V a few years ago due to the rise of fear and paranoia demigods
being a threat to mankind.
"If she weren't around? Heck, I'd be Russia's top sharpshooter.
My power lets me target anything within 600 meters that I set my
peepers on. Works with anything I toss. I can't pick what part
of the target I hit, and the hits won't pack much of a wallop,
but... not too shabby, right? But her? She can pull off what my
power does with raw skill alone. From three kilometers away, no
less! No way I'm competing with that! You wanna know what's even
more crazy? This was before she got those spirit powers, and all
her powers really do is enhance the firepower when facing
certain enemies. Everything from curving rounds to hollow
points, I reckon. She's basically a sniper rifle in human form.
Every ranged fighter out there is green with envy over that
right arm o' hers."

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).
Spirit User Unique Ability: Animal Soul: Tiger:
~The user has the soul of an animal, and while they are not
animals in human bodies, their spiritual essence is animal-like
in origin. Due to her spirit training, Alisa manage to unlock
her spiritual essence which is a tiger. She can tap into her
spirit powers and use her energy to combat certain species such
as dragon energy along with gaining abilities such as the
ability to camouflage, gain sharp fangs and claws and an
enhanced roar ability which can paralyze opponents.
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 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.
Combat Skills:
Enhanced Gunmanship:
~Users, either innately or through training, are masters of
wielding guns, ranged weapons designed to use a shooting tube
(gun barrel) to launch typically solid projectiles, allowing
them to perform great feats and benefit in far ranged combat.
Users are to have excellent bullseye aim on their target via
bullets.
Users are also able to operate all variations of guns. Also, to
have expert knowledge of guns and handling them. Users have
excellent intuition on trigger-initiated, hand-held, and
hand-directed implements, especially with an extending bore,
which thereby resembles the class of weapon in either form or
concept.
Alisa is highly proficient in handling guns - she knows the ins
and outs of her four guns and knows a great deal about others
weapons, provided they are not custom altered. Alisa is also a
brilliant marksman, and an expert at ranged combat over all. Her
patience, stealth and mastery with her guns make her a
terrifyingly good marksman, able to snap accurate shots in quick
succession. Even if she misses she's bound to get close, and is
good at predicting a targets movements, making her even more
deadly.
Handgun Proficiency:
~Users, either innately or through training, are masters of
wielding and utilizing handguns/pistols, being able to fire with
pin-point accuracy or use multiple pistols at once. Usually,
users are familiar with quick-draw techniques for handguns too.
Dual Handgun Proficiency:
~Users, either innately or through training, incredible
proficiency and skill in wielding and utilizing two handguns at
once. This gives them an edge in firepower against combatants
who utilize only one pistols. Users can quickly and effectively
subdue huge groups of enemies at once and rain down huge amounts
of damage on bigger targets. With the number of
bullets/projectiles they can fire, they become extremely deadly
in combat.
Sniper Rifle Proficiency:
~Users possess proficiency, capabilities and knowledge in sniper
rifles, high-precision, long-range rifles, beyond that of the
peak members of their species. Requirements include high
accuracy, reliability, and mobility, concealment, and optics,
for anti-personnel, anti-materiel and surveillance uses by
military snipers. This entails that users can wield sniper
rifles with great skill, being able to snipe enemies from any
range effortlessly. They are also privy to the inner workings of
any type of sniper rifle, being able to assemble it easily as
while as being able to notice any defect or issues with a sniper
rifle their using. Furthermore, users may be able to wield
multiple sniper rifles at once and even supernatural and
esoteric versions.
Gun Kata Mastery:
~Users, either innately or through training, are masters of gun
kata/gun fu, any system of martial arts techniques that combines
the usage of firearms with hand-to-hand combat. They are 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.
Quick Draw Mastery:
~Users possesses immense proficiency in the art of the
Quick-Draw, able to quickly draw out their weapon and attack
their opponent with impeccable direction and insurmountable
speed. With a gun, the user can draw and shoot their target
before they can move. With a sword, the user can draw and cut
their opponent in successful quick strikes before they would
have a chance to react. This is the ultimate quick-drawing
mechanism, making the user virtually impossible to attack the
user since the user will automatically quick-draw with perfect
technique and timing.
Although guns and swords are the choice weapons to perform quick
draws, they are not the only options. Those skilled in other
forms of weaponry, even large ones, can draw and use them in a
fast and precise movement.
Ricochet Mastery:
~The user understands the properties of objects recoiling off of
surface and how to create ricochets. They do this through a
combination of Physics Intuition and Geometry Intuition or by
Recoil Proficiency. They must consider the mass, shape, and
properties of the object they are throwing. They must also
consider the force they put into the throw. This allows them to
ricochet an object back to the user or cause chain attacks on
multiple targets. They can also indirectly hit their target or
perform trick shots.
If the user has an ability that alters their kinetic energy or
Supernatural Leap, they know how to ricochet themselves across
the room. This makes them unpredictable.
Knife Proficiency:
~Users can either innately or through training, is a master of
wielding knives, tools or weapons with cutting edges or blades,
often attached to handles or hilts. They are able to wield small
blades with great proficiency and cunning as well as stealth;
concealing multiple knives on their person flawlessly, to be
retrieved at will in combat.
Combat-Medical Proficiency:
~The user is proficient in using medical equipment to repair
their own body or the bodies of others, especially while in
one-on-one combat with certain targets. Alisa's military
training has granted her a good level of medical expertise. She
can treat gun shot wounds, large flesh wounds, broken bones and
the like. Physical damage is no problem for her, though poisons
and toxins are a little out of her reach.
Pressure Point Combat:
~The user can utilize their pressure point knowledge with
physical combat.
Stealth Mastery:
~The user is a master of stealth, the act of moving cautiously
and surreptitiously, usually for hunting, espionage,
assassination, evading being tracked, etc. They can also use
this knowledge to counter any stealth-based attacks and/or
surveillance. The user can move around without leaving any
trace, if they do leave behind a trace such as broken sticks or
disturbed leaves, to the less observant eye, it would only be
said to be wild animals.
This is the ultimate stealth mechanism, making it virtually
impossible to detect or notice the user down, since the user
will automatically sneak with perfect skill, technique and
timing. The users full and complete mastery in stealth and
anything related to stealth makes the user the ultimate sneak.
Alisa possess extraordinarily skillful expertise in numerous
ways and techniques of stealth. Alisa possesses incredibly
extensive knowledge and skill in many types and ways of stealth
tactics, enabling her to easily slip in and out of areas
undetected. Her abilities in all manners of stealth are so
refined she may often appear as a mere illusion to those who
have been lucky to spot her. She can move throughout even the
most guarded of areas and act in true discretion, unless others
have a proper means to spot her.
Close Quarters Combat Mastery:
~The user, either innately or through training, is a master of
CQC (Close-quarters combat), combat techniques and tactics used
by military personnel and law enforcement officers, which
generally consist of rapid alternation between armed and unarmed
combat while engaging enemy personnel.
In close-quarters combat, the emphasis is on small infantry
units using light, compact weapons that one person can carry and
use easily in tight spaces, such as carbines, submachine guns,
shotguns, pistols, knives, and bayonets.
Users have an intuitive mastery of all the associated CQC skills
and techniques granting them major leverage in any CQC
situation. Users can perfectly and without a single flaw or
mistake use any and every type of CQC technique there is, was
and will ever be, whenever they want with zero effort by
themselves in a short amount of time. Users can perfectly and
without a single flaw or mistake fight any and every type of CQC
situation there is, was and will ever be, whenever they want
with zero effort by themselves in a short amount of time.
The user is so good at CQC, they can dominate in any CQC
situation perfectly. User can use CQC so flawlessly that it
instantly hooks everyone that’s sees it and every person that’s
sees it instantly thinks it’s the very peak of CQC. Each move
the user makes in a CQC situation will be objectively and
unanimously perfect in every facet aspect and detail. Each move
the user makes will have been an immediate unmatched success in
every way.
This is the ultimate CQC mechanism, making it virtually
impossible to defeat the user, since the user will automatically
fight with perfect skill, technique and timing. The users full
and complete mastery in CQC and anything related to CQC makes
the user the ultimate close-quarters combatant.
This also allows the user to dominate any and every CQC-based
competition on any and every competition level at any time in
all aspects easily.
Systema Mastery:
~The user, either innately or through training, is a master of
systema, a lifestyle of Russian martial arts that advocates a
straight-edge and instructs fighters to discard ego, fear, and
tension in the heat of combat. Training includes, but is not
limited to, hand-to-hand combat, grappling, knife fighting, and
fire-arms training. Due to her military training along with her
spirit training, Alisa is a very skilled close combat fighter.
She can strike hard, fast and from multiple directions, making
her deadly up close. Adding her combat dagger into the mix makes
her even more of a deadly foe.
Spirit User Combat Style: Pai Zhua Style:
~This is one of the spirit user styles that some spirit users
may default to learning as their combat style. This style is
based around drawing on the animal spirit that lies within each
spirit. By learning to focus, a user learns to tap into this
spirit at will, and can eventually learn to call on that spirit.
When using this style, this is a style that requires individual
training, as each user will have to train this style
differently. This style is unique to each individual, where
their style is dependent on what animal spirit they possess.
However, one thing that is constant is that spirit users who
learn this can summon their animal spirits, and can learn to
manifest their animal spirits to attack enemies. In addition to
their animal spirits being able to be called in combat, users
can also learn to tap into their animal spirit in combat, where
a user can learn unique combat styles based on their unique
animal spirit. For example, a snake spirit may focus on coiled
strikes or grip strength, while something like a bear spirit
would allow a user to use a style that might be more defensive
and stronger. Depending on the animal spirit, this can also
grant users unique abilities based on their animal spirit. Some
examples include some animal spirits allowing users to attack
with claw slashes (like tigers, wolves, bears and even dragons),
unique senses (like bat spirit users having sonar or bird
spirits having enhanced sight and hearing), and some even
gaining some unique abilities (such as phoenix spirits may grant
regeneration abilities, or chameleon spirits may grant the
ability to change colors). This is hard to quantify in how it
can be used, since each style is used differently, and each
style has to be trained in its own way since it requires a user
to learn how to use their own style. However, like any style,
this can be overcome by other combat styles, where users can
learn to fight users of their own style if they figure out how
their style works (Such as overwhelming a bat user's ability to
process sound may interrupt their sonar abilities). Because this
style is dependent on the animal spirit one has, that can also
give opponents some clue in how the user will use their combat
style.
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 Skills:
Soldier:
~The character is a soldier or military personnel, meaning
they've trained in the military and know military tactics. In
that regard, are trained to be at the pinnacle of human
physicality, even instructed to be prepared and skillfully
maneuver in all manner of situations.
For the expectations of war and its takeaways, they are aware of
the risk of death, so they are hardened enough to accept it.
They have a notable understanding of war and the actions they
have to take in such conflicts. For that reason, they are
adaptive, flexible in their methods, and possess an increased
number of stamina to deal with prolonged combat or possible
skirmishes.
Special Forces Operator:
~The character is in a special forces unit, meaning they're
trained to conduct special operations. NATO has defined special
operations as "military activities conducted by specially
designated, organized, selected, trained and equipped forces
using unconventional techniques and modes of employment".
The soldier may also be surrounded by others who are stronger,
faster and more durable or may possess superhuman powers, but
they are still able to keep up with their squad and defeat such
powerful enemies by incredible virtue of skill and experience.
In a squad, the special forces operator is often seen in the
roles of the team brain, the team heart, the team outsider, or
simply the squad leader.
Alisa is a high ranked member of the Russian Special Forces.
Sniper:
~The character is a sniper, a marksman who specializes in using
a sniper rifle or other kinds of long-range weapons to observe a
target and shoot them from a distance, even in hard to see
places. Some snipers are either soldiers or hired assassins.
Enhanced Athleticism:
~The user possesses athletic abilities that are beyond even the
peak members of the human race, which means the user possesses
strength, speed, stamina, endurance, agility, balance,
dexterity, reflexes, etc., that are beyond the level of peak
humans in their respective universe. They may additionally
possess advanced levels of explosiveness, power, and other
various acrobatic/gymnastic abilities.
Enhanced Parkour:
~User is highly proficient in using parkour, which can be summed
up as either acrobatics meets assault courses or skateboarding
without a board. It is based on general principles of survival:
Should one ever need to get from Point A to Point B as fast as
possible, the shortest distance is always a straight line. The
goal, therefore, is to get past, over, under, or through various
obstacles without wasting any time.
Unlike Flowmotion and Enhanced Athleticism, which may or may not
include obstacles, this power includes obstacles altogether, and
focuses on overcoming them with all types of movement. No
obstacle is too high or too wide or even too slippery to be
overcome.
Alisa is trained to move through obstacles, and her experience
and skill makes her a brilliant climber.
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 Fear Immunity or Indomitable Courage, 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. Alisa is a
soldier. All of her fear was trained out of her during her years
in the military, and her resolve to help others helps to banish
any doubts she might feel other than fear.
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:
~Alisa is a strong opponent on the offense, especially with her
sniper skills. She is faster, stronger and more durable than
normal humans.
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.
Alisa is still human so even though she is tougher, she can
still be killed like any ordinary humans but with more effort.
Alisa needs to remain in control when using her animal soul
powers otherwise, she will go feral. Alisa is known to be a
glass cannon due to her being usually a ranged fighter. Although
she doesn't go down in one hit and can handle herself in close
combat, she still cannot take too much damage in risk of
injuries and worst case death if her injuries are not treated in
time and/or if her injuries gets worse. This is why she is
usually with heavy hitters such as Dragunov, Zukovsky, and/or
King, especially when dealing with tough enemies that are
tankier and/or have immense strength.
Transformation(s):
Full Power Spirit Release: Spirit Tiger:
~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).
This is Alisa's own enhanced spirit form, in which she releases
the full power of her spirit to gain a highly enhanced mode. In
this mode, Alisa can fuse with her animal soul. In this form,
she seem to be in a tiger like suit which enhances her physical
abilities and her spirit powers (Think of Shuri's suit from
Black Panther 2).
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.
Alisa's divine state ties in with her animal soul. Her divine
state shows her with pure white eyes, sharpen claws and fangs
and black stripes on her body.
Weapons:
Fenris and Fenrir:
Fenris:
-Weapon: Dragunov SVD, Sniper rifle
-Weight: 4.68 kg (10.3 lb)

-Feed system: 10-round detachable box magazine
-Sights: PSO-1 telescopic sight and iron sights with an
adjustable rear notch sight
-Notes: Fenris is often slung by a black strap so that it hangs
down by Alisa's right arm, ready for use. This is Alisa's
primary weapon in ranged combat. This gun is a custom made gun
made for her by a gunsmith who likes Norse mythology. This
weapon is immune to magnetic/metal manipulation powers along
with being able to feature any type of bullet that Alisa takes
with her before a mission, though she normally has an oceanstone
bullet with a varanium tip, which is designed for taking down
gods and demi-gods. Though she does have other types like
stilled silver bullets, blessed silver, mercury bullets, or even
solid varanium bullets. This weapon isn't too useful up close,
and normally only useful when Alisa doesn't fight up close.
Fenrir:

-Sights: Fixed front, adjustable rear sight; MIL-STD-1913 rail
provided for optics
-Notes: Fenrir is slung over Alisa's back, and can be slung back
over and into position when needed. Usually, a Barrett.50 cal is
fired with a stand, since it is too heavy to hold. Instead,
Alisa uses her strength, and so she can fire it accurately from
one knee. Alisa use this weapon for enemies who are more durable
either by their skin or by armor. Just like her other weapons,
it's immune to metal/magnetic abilities along with having
certain ammo for certain supernatural creatures.

-Notes: Kept at her back of her hips for easy access. Alisa has
these pair of weapons on her if she is unable to go into range
combat. She can still use this for range combat though not like
how she will usually use her sniper weapons. Just like her other
guns, the twin desert eagles are immune to metal/magnetic
abilities and she has ammo for certain meta humans and/or
supernatural creatures.
Combat Knife:
~A large varanium tactical military combat blade worn at her
left hip. One side and its tip is bladed, while the other is
made with a blade catcher. More of a back up weapon, for if she
runs out of ammo and/or she cannot use her powers.
Other Modified Weapons (Case by case):
~Like her comrades, Alisa has other weapons like a machine gun
AK-74, a few sniper rifles, and a few other weapons she uses on
a case by case basis. Alisa mostly uses guns though, and rarely
uses swords due to her being in Russian military. Though all of
her guns use the same special ammo, designed to kill enemy gods
and supernaturals. Most of these weapons have the same
modifications as the other weapons, like the modified magnetic
scrambler, and some also come equipped with silencers, something
Alisa likes to equip to as many weapons as she can to make it
harder for opponents to know bullets are coming if she uses a
silencer. Though Alisa is well known for using a ranged fighter,
thus her normally using her sniper rifles if needed. Though she
does carry other weapons as a back up, especially her knife.
Small on Hand Medical Kit:
~Alisa carries at all times a small medical kit in one of her
hip pouches. This contains plasters, bandages, a small bottle of
iodine, stitches, needles and other small medical items.
Although not a complete expert in medicine, she does have basic
knowledge which can help herself and/or comrades until actual
medical help comes by.
Gas Mask:
~This aids both in her own breathing, and in gassed areas. Even
though she is highly resistant to certain toxins that can harm a
human, she only wears this mask for toxins and gases that can
harm creatures with higher tolerance like monsters and meta
humans.
Personality:
Alisa is very adventurous who isn't afraid to speak her mind.
She is one of the many, if not few Russian soldiers who is
mainly seen without a grim or stern expression on her face
unless she is in a bad mood. Alisa has a strong but kind heart,
especially around children, her comrades and her friends/family.
She is the lighter side of both Sergei and Viktor (mostly
Viktor), but she can be ruthless and cold when she needs to. In
combat is where Alisa is the most serious, especially if lives
are at stake. Although not afraid to kill if necessary, she does
have morals such as making sure that innocent people doesn't get
hurt in the crossfire or not wanting to let her enemies suffer,
no matter how heinous they are.
