London RP Profile: Zoe Zolnerowich (Alternate Dimension Version)
By: Coolcat207 Date: June 16, 2024, 2:44 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
"I think I'm getting used to this."
"I'm known as a 'Miracle Child' back in my home world. Just wish
my parents were still alive."
"I miss my family. And I know that they miss me. But we both
know in our hearts that we will reunite one day. I just got to
be ready for when that day comes."
"The reason I'm still here is because I'm not insanely powerful
like many people from my world. Otherwise, the dimension
would've pushed me right back or in a similar world like mine."
"Oh, this is Markov, but Mark is just fine. He looks scary but
he's nice as long as you don't try to hurt me."
~Zoe introducing her spirit bear, Mark.
"There will be those that will accept them like how my sister
and I accept those like you guys. Giving them more to fear isn't
going to solve anything. It will just give the bad people more
reasons to harm supernaturals even more."
~Zoe during a discussion with Jon and a few of the Exiles.

Appearance:
Zoe appear as a average human woman with brown skin and black
hair that is either puffy/curly or straight depending on her
mood or the weather. Her eyes are dark brown but they change to
a paranormal foggy green when she's using her spirit powers. Zoe
is not big on famous or fancy clothes and normally wears
something casual or simple due to her growing up on a farm at a
young age. Zoe has a scar around her left ankle from the
shackles she was placed on from a vampire that kidnapped her
when she was transported into the London/Apocalypse world at the
age of 8. Zoe hides this scar the best she could along with
trying not to even think about it due to the trauma she went
through. Only a few people knew about this, two of them were the
ones who rescued Zoe (Exiles Jon Talbain and Exiles Mystique).

Spirit Companion(s):
Markov "Mark" the Cave Bear Spirit:
~A giant spirit bear that has been on Zoe's side ever since she
was a little girl. Zoe accidentally summoned him when she was
attacked by a dream demon, only for the bear to not only protect
her and kill the dream demon but to also manifest in the
physical world as well. Mark is more powerful than a normal
spirit bear who can also take on a humanoid form that can make
almost anyone crap cinder blocks (He looks like Boris). Mark is
a tank but even he has his limits and has to disappear to
recover depending on the damage that he took.
Will O Wisps:
~Zoe has three will o wisps that act like guides. Although
mischievous and have a child like personality, these wisps are
guardians who are able to help Zoe and her allies if they are
lost, find lost objects or people, and can even tell by a
person's morals along if the person can be trusted or not, no
matter how hard the person hides it.
Powers:
Superior Human Physiology:
~The user is a human that has developed powers and abilities
from a variety of causes/circumstances, such as evolution,
genetic experiments, enchantment, having powers bestowed upon
them by other beings or sources, through unnatural birth causes,
and training to obtain said powers classifying them into
superhuman beings. Also, thanks to still being human, (if the
powers are in any relation to genetics), they can use these
abilities without becoming a monster (i.e., keeping their human
physique, sanity, and humanity without it being altered from
possible instability).
Paranormal Birth:
~The character is the result of a supernatural birth. They could
be borne by supernatural means like from, divinity, magic,
science, etc. Those supernatural forces could produce various
supernatural/uncommon effects upon the birth. This usually
occurs when a non-supernatural or “normal” being (ex. humans)
reproduces with a supernatural entity (ex. angels, cosmic
entities, demons, dragons, gods, fairies, vampires, etc.) with
uncommon qualities or when two supernatural entities produce
with each other. These can cause effects that determine their
nature of being and not just specifically supernatural entities,
but also clones or even “chosen ones”.
Zoe's birth was unusual despite her parents both being human.
Zoe was known as a miracle child due to Zoe's mother Natasha
being attack by magic from a beldam when she was pregnant with
Zoe. Even with help from magic users to make sure that the magic
didn't kill them both, it was unsure how Zoe would be affected
until she was born, dubbing her a Miracle Child.
Bio-Electricity Manipulation:
~The user can create, shape, and manipulate bio-electric
currents that exist within all aspects of the body such as in
the nervous system, heart, and muscles through the use of one's
biofield. The user is also capable of channeling this
bio-electrical energy into attacks or even drain the
bio-electrical energies that may dwell within another being. The
user can also find people by sensing their bioelectrical
presence and/or scramble personal bio-electric rhythms to shock
others.
Bio-Electricity Generation:
~The user can create and project bio-generated electricity.
Bio-Electric Aura:
~The user can channel their bio-electric field to generate and
surround themselves in/with electricity, utilizing it for any
purpose they can think of. The aura can also enhance their
physical abilities such as strength, speed, and durability.
The user's bio-electric aura acts as an invisible field of
concentrated bioelectricity surrounding the user's entire body.
The bio-electric aura first functions as a second skin, not
extending from the body, only protecting the user's skin from
incoming threats. The user's exoskeleton varies in durability,
from resisting gunfire to nuclear explosions. Without practice,
the field doesn't extend far from the skin, leaving even loose
clothing without protection; with practice, the user can extend
the aura further out from their body to protect anything in it.
The user can use their bio-electric exoskeleton inwards to
protect organs, bones, flesh, and the brain.
Combining it with supernatural strength allows the user to lift
large objects, such as mountains or cruise liners, and move them
without buckling like physics dictates. It's because their
bio-electric field envelopes the objects as extensions of them,
granting them near indestructibility. Users can manipulate their
bio-electric aura to harness the bio-electricity to achieve
other applications such as achieving electrostatic levitation,
allowing them to levitate and fly.
Bio-Electric Augmentation:
~The user is able to amplify/enhance their personal output of
bio-electricity, increasing the quantity/amplifying its
destructive power.
Bio-Electric Dyamo:
~The user can draw in ambient energy to infinitely produce
bio-generated electricity and charged particles from their
bodies. They are able to channel and direct them to any kind of
purpose. They can even absorb electric energies, particles, and
related forms into their being.
Bio-Electricity Infusion:
~The user can channel their bio-energy field to infuse
electricity into anything inside and around them. They can
mold/knead the aspects of electricity into whatever they choose.
This allows them to augment and manipulate the properties of
things to their leisure as well as strengthen themselves. The
user can also manifest the very electricity they infuse into
things and harness it however they please.
Bio-Static Manipulation:
~The user can create, control, and manipulate bio-generated
static electricity, an imbalance of electric charges and the
potential energy stored within charged particles.
Electricity Absorption:
~Users can absorb electricity, while removing it from the
source, into their body and use it in various ways, gaining some
form of advantage, either by enhancing themselves, gaining the
drained power, using it as power source etc., either temporarily
or permanently.
Some users can even or instead summon and absorb lightning from
the atmosphere (thunderclouds or ionized air) to enhance
themselves, instead of relaying on the outside sources in their
environment.
Electric Shock:
~The user can release extreme electrical current to destroy
almost anything, causing extreme amounts of heat and paralysis
in living beings.
Personal Electric Field Manipulation:
~The user can manipulate their own electric field, channeling it
towards any use. They can harness both electric and
electromagnetic forces. Electromagnetism is seen as a byproduct
of electricity since it creates these forces when at work.
One of the reasons Zoe is immune to being controlled is because
of her personal electrical/electromagnetic field that her body
produced to cancelled out any telepathic influence, even by
supernatural levels.
Super Electric Charge:
~The user of this ability can increase the power of their
electrical energy when on great or intense emotions like by
becoming extremely angry, thereby releasing currents of
electricity through the body and increasing their strength,
speed, power, etc. The process is similar to the Fight or Flight
Response. This intense state of emotion may even change the
user's appearance.
Electricity Resistance:
~The user is extremely resistant to electricity, being nearly
invulnerable to direct and indirect effects, such as muscle
contractions or cardiac arrest.
Darkfire Elemental Abilities:
Darkfire Spirit Mastery:
~In order to train in the Darkfire elemental abilities, a
Darkfire must first master their own spirit energy, as their
positive or negative spirit energy are usually vital in creating
Darkfire elementals. Before training can even begin, the
Darkfire must learn a few different things. The first is that
they must learn how to tap into their positive and negative
spirit energy, and the second is that they must learn how to
manage their own unique balance. Most Darkfires must learn this
before they can move on to other abilities. Depending on the
Darkfire, Darkfires will often have varying amounts of soul
energy, as well as having different balances, making it
imperative that the Darkfire trains and learns about their own
spirit. By tapping into their spirit, they eventually learn to
utilize their negative spirit energy to create dark elementals
and their positive spirit energy to create holy elementals by
combining their spirit with their elemental power to create
their Darkfire elementals. However, it isn't just about creating
elementals, as Darkfires learn to focus and balance their spirit
during training in order to help master their bodies to train
them for battle since the Darkfires also use this to help focus
their mind and body as well. This requires heavy meditation, and
the ability to focus inward. Thanks to this training, Darkfires
typically are very inwardly focused, and learn to master their
spirit as the first step in their training. Depending on the
Darkfires, every Darkfire typically has a different balance, so
each Darkfire must find that balance, and learn what affinities
for combinations they have. Depending on the Darkfires, there
are some that are special cases, such as Father Hei who had only
positive spirit energy after his holy purification, or Kendrix
Darkfire who has mastered turning his spirit into angelic and
demonic elementals as a result. Depending on the spirit energy,
some elementals can have different effects depending on the
spirit energy used. Many Darkfires who advance in this can also
sometimes start learning spirit user abilities if they so
desire, depending on if they can find a teacher who will teach
them how to use spirit user abilities. Typically though, most
Darkfires don't become spirit users, if only because most
understand that they must master their own Darkfire power first
before seeking new power. This requires focus and discipline,
much more so than any other clan, so the Darkfires are usually
very controlled and able to control their emotions more easily
in order to avoid unbalancing their spirit.
Advanced Darkfire Training: Elemental Condensing:
~When using elemental power, sometimes normal elementals just
don't pack enough of a punch. For this problem, the Darkfires
learned an art of condensing matter into smaller space by
smashing the molecules together to condense energy into a
smaller form. This technique is a battle technique that the
Darkfires utilize in their attack and defense, where they
utilize this to create more condensed elementals. Typically,
this requires not only a mastery of elemental power, but also
requires a mastery of changing the form of energy as well as
changing the form of matter. However, when used properly, this
can create much stronger elemental abilities, where the
Darkfires can condense their elementals to strengthen their
attacks. In addition to the elementals themselves being
stronger, the effects of the elementals also become much
stronger, as the condensing of the elemental also has effects on
what the elementals can do. For example, a condensed explosive
dark flame attack will explode with far more force than normal,
due to the explosion being concentrated by the condensing of the
dark flames. Any elemental can be used, and the effects depend
on the elemental used. Darkfires can even control how much the
elemental is condensed, allowing more or less condensing to
control how much power is put into their attacks. This is an
advanced art, and Darkfires do have to be skilled with more than
just elemental energy to use this effectively. It is also worth
noting that the Darkfires who use this also have to expend more
energy and concentration in order to use this, as using this
will often require concentration to utilize this effectively.
The more energy they condense, the stronger the attack they
create at the cost of more condensing also costing more
elemental power in order to use. And if a Darkfire doesn't do
this correctly, their elemental condensing could literally
explode in their face, as not doing this correctly could cause
an explosive reaction. As one might imagine, dodging these
elements are still the same, but blocking is more or less what
is different, as this is designed to be used against stronger
opponents. One can still block this if they are strong enough,
but with the condensed energy and amplified effects, the attacks
are much harder to block.
Darkfire Elemental Teleportation:
~Another technique the Darkfires use using their elementals,
this time using elements for getting around. Similar to how
shadow users can shadow meld and use it to travel places, the
Darkfires can use their elements to teleport, using their
elementals as a catalyst to move from place to place. A Darkfire
can teleport anywhere in the world with this technique, as long
as they know where they're going and can concentrate on where
they want to go. Typically, utilizes a combination of factors,
but the simple aspect of it is that the Darkfire uses this power
and then the elemental power connects to another location and
takes them there. For example, a wind user could connect to
another area and the wind then is used to teleport by moving the
Darkfire to that area using the displacement of the elements
between the locations. Some more advanced Darkfires more easily
learn to utilize this by taking elemental form once they learn
the power, using the elemental power to more easily change
locations. Typically, this is a power that is used outside of
battle, but some Darkfires can use this in battle to teleport
around. Depending on the element, each element can connect to an
area depending on how it's used, and this only requires training
and modifying some supernatural teleportation using the Darkfire
elemental powers. However, in order to use this, Darkfires do
have to know where they're going, which usually means that
either they must know where in space and time the place is they
want to go to, or they have to have been there before (usually
the latter among most), and Darkfires cannot use this to travel
across time or dimensions (with a few exceptions), because this
teleportation isn't strong enough to break the dimension of
space and time. As such, most Darkfires have to be careful while
using this, as if they don't know where they're going, they
could end up somewhere random, or they could end up inside of
solid objects if they end up in certain random locations which
causes other problems. And once chosen, Darkfires cannot change
what elemental power they use for their teleportation without
special training to change their element. Though most of the
time, the element chosen is more for show than anything. The
only thing that most Darkfires choose when choosing an element
to teleport is usually how much of an element they can use in
the environment. For example, wind and earth teleportation takes
almost no energy because earth and wind literally connect the
entire world so both teleportations can go anywhere without a
Darkfire usually having to expend their own energy, so Darkfires
usually opt for more convenient elements that are more abundant
in the world to prevent them from needing a lot of power to
create an elemental. Though a way around this for some is for
some Darkfires to use their auras to teleport, in which their
auras radiating elemental energy can be used as their element
for teleportation, something most flame and lightning users do
when they don't have flames or lightning respectively to use to
teleport.
Darkfire Elemental Healing and Purification:
~This power utilizes the Darkfire's elemental power in a
different way, in which their elemental powers are designed to
heal others by using their elemental power. How this is used
depends on the Darkfire's elemental power, and not all Darkfires
can heal effectively, but most can heal in some way. Typically,
healing someone using a Darkfire power utilizes the elements in
unique ways, and learn to utilize this to replicate the effects
of healing and purification abilities. This power utilizes the
same power source as the elemental rebirth power, but instead of
healing oneself, the power heals others by projecting their
power over someone else. For example, a dark flame user might
use their dark flames to use heat to bond a wound closed, or
using lightning to re-bond cells together using magnetic bonds
to draw the cells back together. This depends on the element,
and each element can do this in some way, with earth and wind
usually being the best healing elementals. Typically, this power
is used to replicate healing and purification of other races
abilities, even if it's not always as effective. This can be
used with any elemental, though most elementals achieve the same
end result somehow. Typically, this works best with wind or
earth abilities, since using earthly elements can more easily
heal wounds using the body's earthly minerals to restore the
body by manipulating the minerals, or wind can re-bond cells
together more easily. The second part of this power is
purification, where Darkfires can purify certain types of
presences by using their elemental power. For example, a holy
elemental could purify death energy, or a dark elemental could
purify a holy energy poisoning. For purifying presences, usually
lightning and fire are the two best ones to use, since they can
destroy targeted cells and energies more effectively than most
other elementals. And with purification, the holy or dark aspect
also makes a difference in purification as well. This mostly
depends on the user and their knowledge, and not all Darkfire
elementals are great (as one might be better for one aspect of
this power over another). Typically, this power is hard to
master, but many Darkfires can use this very effectively if they
know what they're doing.
Darkfire Elemental Touch:
~This ability is dependent on the elementals used by the
Darkfires. This lets a Darkfire use their touch to use their
elemental power on someone, by focusing their power through
their aura when then are in physical contact. This is more
useful with some elements than others, and depending on the
element used, some elements can do different things. Fire users
are able to burn and melt things through physical touch by
heating things up, ice users are able to freeze things on
physical touch by using their ice powers to freeze, lightning
users are able to electrocute things using physical touch, wind
users are able to slice through things with their attacks, and
earth users are able to manipulate earthly elements through
touch, like absorbing metal and other elements from touching an
object or change the form of an object through touch. Some who
use this are able to do different things depending on the
element, with more advanced users having more techniques using
this power, such as an earth user being able to break down the
elements in certain weapons to disassemble them. Some have even
built combat styles around this power, using it to amplify their
physical combat. Of course, the vampire can only use the touch
powers of their own elements, and depending on how skilled they
are, certain vampires may be able to do more with their
elemental touch ability. However, this does require physical
touch to use, and some users can only use this on certain things
(like most earth users would only be able to affect objects, and
might not be able to affect people unless they have specific
powers to do so). Typically, energy defense or counter elements
are the best ways to counter this, such as using ice to counter
a fire touch, or using energy defense to protect against the
elemental effects.
Darkfire Elemental Blade:
~By focusing the elemental aura, the Darkfire can create an
elemental blade around their arm, usually extending from their
hand into a blade. Typically, this is an attack skill designed
to fight opponents. Just like many of the elemental abilities,
Darkfires typically have to learn how their elementals can be
used, as each elemental power for this is different. For
example, a dark flame blade could burn through certain objects
when cutting objects, or a wind blade could be made to more
easily cut through objects and fire slashing waves. This depends
on the Darkfire and their elemental powers, but most are able to
do this with any elemental power they control. Typically, the
easiest blade to create is the same as their aura, as doing so
using their aura elemental power is usually easier than other
elements due to it requiring far less power to use, and it being
easier to concentrate from an aura. Beginners can use this
fairly easily once focusing it, but advanced users can learn to
fire elemental blasts and waves from this blade, or the blade
having different effects based on what the user wants to do. For
example, a wind user could focus their wind blade with explosive
gases to explode on impact with an opponent, or a lightning user
could reverse one's magnetic field on contact to send them
flying back from the point of attack to knock them off balance.
This depends mostly on the element and the Darkfire's elemental
knowledge, though most Darkfires typically use this more with a
weapon, with some even having weapons specially made for
utilizing this technique. This is countered just like any
elemental power though, and counter elements are usually the
best method. Some physical defense skills might also defend
against certain uses of this, though usually energy defense is
the best defense against this power since energy defense can
block most elemental abilities.
Basic Spirit Energy User Abilities:
Spirit Energy Manipulation:
~Obviously, the first step to learning spirit energy is
identifying one's spirit energy and learning to tap into it.
Once one has identified their spirit energy, the user has to
learn to utilize their spirit energy in order to create attacks.
There are many ways to use spirit energy, which usually starts
out as learning to manipulate it into constructs, attacks and
even learning to focus it into physical attacks. This skillset
is designed around this spirit energy, and using it to fight
opponents, whether they are humans, supernaturals or even
deathly threats like hollows and dead souls (which this skillset
was originally designed to combat). When one thinks of specific
spirit energy skillsets, most people think of soul reapers,
hollows and arrancars or they may think of holy vampires, and
some might even think of aura users who use aura as a type of
spirit energy. The good thing about this is that any race can
learn to utilize this as long as they have a soul (not just
being limited to races like soul reapers, hollows and dead
souls), and doesn't require "affinities for spirit energy" to
utilize since everyone has the ability to focus spirit energy.
In order to use this, one only needs to train their physical,
mental and spiritual stats in order to more easily concentrate
their spirit energy. While some may have weaker spirit energy
than others, any one with a soul can learn this power. The only
affinities that make a difference is that some may have unique
affinities for certain spirit user skills that make them easier
to use, such as one human who had a particularly strong spirit
sense and was able to use it more easily once he learned how to
focus spirit energy. Spirit energy has become another energy
user type people can learn, and is a skillset that can also be
learned alongside others, such as one universe, the human
Darkfires connection to their spirit energy could lead to them
gaining spirit user abilities. For the most part, this energy is
unique dependent on the race, but each race's spirit energy has
some major counter in addition to normal energy counters (such
as other energies like mana and ki being able to combat spirit
energy), such as death wraith spirit being weakened severely by
concentrated light attacks. For the most part, countering this
works like countering any other energy otherwise.
Human Spirit Energy:
~Humans have the purest spirit energy of any race, as they have
no invisible natures and their soul is pure spirit energy with
no unseen effects. This makes human spirit energy very powerful
when concentrated properly, and means they're not as affected by
nature effects of other races spirit energy attacks. For
example, demons and angels using unholy or holy natures
respectively won't do as much holy or unholy damage to humans.
Human spirit energy is often pretty plain and able to be used
against far more enemies than more specific spirit energy types.
Also, human spirit energy is far more adaptable than most other
races spirit energy, allowing for easier combination with other
energies or other powers due to humans being more adaptable as a
species. Among more unique spirit natures, some humans have done
things like gaining divine spirit energy from tapping into
divine natures through meditation and there are also ancient
shamans who have gained purifying spirit energy. However, while
they are more adaptable and more pure in spirit energy, they
lack the power some other races have, but have an advantage in
being able to take on almost any kind of creature with their
spirit power. Human spirit energy is more like standard energy
and can be countered as such (meaning other energies more easily
counter human spirit energy since human spirit energy doesn't
have any special properties like other spirit energy types). If
they have an advanced nature, then those natures are weak to
whatever their natures are weak to (such as divine states spirit
energy would be weaker to demonic states), and every type of
spirit energy has some kind of counter (which may depend on the
spirit power one uses, but weaknesses and counters must be
stated).
Zoe is one of the strongest human spirit users due to how
immense her spiritual energy is ever since she was a child. It
was strong to the point that it rival other powerful
supernatural creatures and hybrids.
Spirit User Unique Ability: Raw Power:
~The user either possesses an extreme and raw level of
overwhelming power so tremendous and destructive which can make
users by far the most powerful and mighty beings in their known
worlds and by far the most dangerous to have ever been known
because of their unrivaled might, or simply the quality to
overwhelm through sheer strength.
The level of such power is so great that users can resist, smash
through, and become immune to laws, natures, illness, etc.,
through sheer force and strength alone. Strong enough users may
be able to negate durability and possibly defy logic itself.
Due to her abnormal birth and training, Zoe possess raw
spiritual power that can rival powerful demigods like her
cousin, Vendetta Zolnerowich. Due to this, a ring was created to
conceal her power so dark spirits and hollows won't hunt her
down relentlessly.
Spirit User Spirit Balance Mastery:
~In order to train in spirit user abilities, a spirit user must
first master their own spirit energy, in order to utilize their
energy properly. Before training can even begin, the user must
learn a few different things. The first is that they must learn
how to tap into their positive and negative spirit energy, and
the second is that they must learn how to manage their own
unique balance. Most spirit users must learn this before they
can move on to other abilities so that they can learn to
properly focus their spirit energy. Depending on the user,
spirit users will often have varying amounts of soul energy, as
well as having different balances, making it imperative that the
spirit user trains and learns about their own spirit. By tapping
into their spirit, they eventually learn to utilize their
negative spirit energy and their positive spirit energy and find
balance in their souls. This is not just about fighting with
spirit energy, but this balance is also used to help users
control their spirit power, and learned to help them grow in
body, mind and spirit. This requires heavy meditation, and the
ability to focus inward which has to be learned to utilize this.
Thanks to this training, spirit users typically are very
inwardly focused, and learn to master their spirit as the first
step in their training. Depending on the spirit user, every user
typically has a different balance, so each user must find that
balance, and learn how to maintain that balance. Depending on
the user though, there are some that are special cases, such as
holy vampires don't have negative spirit energy and only have
positive spirit energy. Depending on the spirit energy, spirit
energy also may have unique effects depending on the spirit
energy used since each race may have unique aspects to their
spirit energy. Of course, while balancing one's spirit is
necessary to learning to focus spirit power, not being able to
maintain this balance can cause one's spirit energy to go out of
control, especially for more powerful spirit energy users. For
this reason, those with stronger spirit energies may restrain
their energy to maintain a lower level of balance.
Spiritual Energy Enhanced Spiritual Attack:
~Because spirit users tend to attract certain kinds of spirits
to them, spirit users have learned to fight against spirits that
may try to attack them. Since many spirit users suffer attacks
from the spiritual plane, spirit users have learned to attack
enemies not physically present. This not only allows them to
attack things like ghosts, hollows and other spiritual
presences, but this also allows spirit users to attack dark
spirits using their spirit energy. By using the focus and power
of their spirit energy, the spirit user focuses their spirit to
attack on the spiritual plane, rather than attack the physical.
Because of this, users don't just do physical damage with their
spirit energy but do spiritual damage to opponents. This is
meant to attack spirits, and other things not on the physical
plane, with some users even being able to attack spiritual
beings like demons and angels whether they're in a physical body
or not by attacking their spirit more than their physical body.
This is especially effective when used on spiritual presences
when a spirit is possessing others, as the spirit user's spirit
energy can be used to damage both the possessed body and the
spirit or entity possessing the person. With enough attack and
power, some spirit users can even grow to a level where they can
destroy spirits (usually requiring special skills and training
to do so), which can be very useful to fight spirits that might
come against the user. This is effective on almost any spiritual
opponent, as long as the spirit user can damage whatever they
are attacking. This is very useful since many spirit users might
get targeted by hollows or spirit users, which is a major
problem for them. While this is very useful for attacking
spiritual users though, the spirit user does have to hit the
opponent with their attacks in order to do damage, as well as
the spirit user has to overcome the spirit presence of the being
they are attacking. If the being they are attacking has stronger
energy than them, then this spirit energy will do high reduced
damage (if it does damage at all).
Spirit User Enhanced Spirit Pressure:
~One of the most notable effects of spirit users and those that
have spirit energy abilities is that many of them gain enhanced
spirit presences which show their spiritual power. This presence
radiates from the body in its aura, and gives off spirit
pressure depending on the strength of the spirit energy. This is
a passive effect which is emitted from the body, where the
body's emitted spirit energy puts pressure on the environment
around them. How this energy senses depends on the being and
what kind of spirit energy they have, but all spirit energy
reacts similarly to the environment, which comes from a spirit
user. Stronger spirit users have a stronger effect on the
environment, where the strongest spirit energy users may have
presences that can create intense gravity that can put immense
pressure on an area. How far this presence extends, and how
powerful the presence is depends solely on how powerful the
spirit user is, and if they utilize certain things like spirit
suppression to keep their spirit energy suppressed. Many
stronger spirit users who have intense gravity to their spirit
presence will often wear spirit suppression equipment to prevent
their spirit energy from having a negative effect on the
environment around them, while weaker spirit users will often
wear items that will help increase their spirit power and focus
to help them match higher level spirit users. For the most part,
this is a passive skill, but can be used to one's advantage,
such as how hollows utilize spirit coming from the body to
enhance their skin passively in their Hierro technique so that
their spirit presence can be used to strengthen their skin. This
also is responsible for the body and supernatural power
amplification (more later) when using spirit energy. While it's
not always useful on its own, some users have learned to tap
into their spirit presence in order to either contain the energy
to retain as much spirit energy as they can, or some may learn
to draw on their spirit presence (a common trend among demons
who use spirit power). For the most part, this is mostly just a
passive skill that is determined by the strength of the spirit
user. Stronger spirit users will often have trouble because they
may release too much spirit energy, but weaker spirit users may
need spirit concentration equipment in order to use stronger
spirit powers.
Spirit User Spiritual Aura Defense:
~Almost all spirit energy users develop their spiritual aura,
which is usually present in their spiritual pressure/presence.
The first use of the spiritual energy aura is a passive defense,
that can defend the user thanks to the spirit energy being able
to dampen attacks (if strong enough) and reduce damage from
attacks. Similar to those like the Darkfires who use elemental
auras, spirit energy users can use their spiritual auras as a
passive defense in the same manner. Users can develop this as
long as they can train their aura (some stronger spirit users
may have trouble with this unless they have something to help
them control their spirit presence), and can learn to use their
spirit aura to defend themselves. While nowhere near as powerful
as more concentrated attempts at using energy for defense, this
does allow a user to utilize spirit energy as a defense without
needing to do anything. Unlike other aura abilities, this has no
active or inactive state, unless one suppresses their spirit
energy when not using it (usually through spirit suppression
items). And depending on the spirit energy, this aura can have
different effects depending on the spirit energy used. For
example, demons having stronger and more concentrated spirit
energy would make a much stronger spirit aura that can dampen
attacks far more effectively, or an angel's spirit aura could be
used to dampen unholy energy attacks since their spirit aura
would be purifying in nature. The effects depend mostly on the
user and their skillset, as well as their race and heritage.
There are some other techniques for this as well, such as some
who have techniques that can use the aura specifically, or
spirit attack/defense skills that use more concentrated focuses
of spirit energy to defend specific parts of the body (More
later). Of course, as one might expect, getting through a spirit
energy is a matter of strength and focus, where users can break
through one's spirit aura if they have the strength or focus to
do so. For example, those with the focus to negate energy using
certain focus skills could more easily break a spirit user's
aura, and those with stronger energy can also more easily break
spirit aura.
Spirit Aura Physical and Supernatural Amplification:
~Similar to abilities like mana amplification and ki
amplification, spirit energy users also gain this ability as
well. Those with spirit energy that learn to utilize it and
train it will gain spirit-based passive amplification by
learning to focus their spirit energy and draw it out. When
spirit energy is running through the body, the body's physical
and supernatural stats are amplified by one's spirit aura,
making them stronger than they normally would be. As one might
expect, this amplifies the body's physical stats, increasing
what a user can do when the user is focusing spirit energy. This
also includes a user also gaining spirit energy amplification in
their supernatural abilities as well, where their spirit energy
amplifies their other supernatural skills. For example, spirit
users may have other skillsets, and those skillsets can receive
an amplification from spirit energy depending on the skillset.
For example, one soul reaper learned spirit user abilities and
the increased focus on spirit helped them use stronger kido
abilities and strengthened their zanpakuto abilities. This
amplification works as long as the body has spirit energy, and
stronger spirit energy can increase the amplification of this
application of spirit energy. The good thing about this skill is
that it can be strengthened through training and focus as the
spirit user grows, whether it's physical training to train the
body, spiritual training for stronger amplification, or a
combination of the two for both effects. Even a normal human who
uses this amplification (as long as they have a moderate level
of spirit energy) can usually use this amplification to keep up
with other supernatural type opponents, and can use this in
combat without even having to think about it. The only time that
this deactivates or is not usable is if the user either
restrains their power (which is useful for those that have
harder time controlling their abilities) or the user runs out of
spirit energy. Other than that, this amplification can also be
overpowered by stronger and more focused opponents, and can be
countered by other supernatural energy amplifications (like mana
amplification or chi/ki amplification).
Spirit User Soul Protection Training:
~Those that learn spirit energy are often taught how to protect
their soul, specifically against those that want to steal their
soul since there are so many soul eaters in the world. In this
training, a user learns to focus their spirit energy to protect
their soul, usually putting energy around their spirits to
protect their spirit from outside influences. This has a few
uses, such as making it very difficult for soul eaters to steal
their soul. By putting protection around their spirit, a soul
eater has to break through this spirit energy or absorb all the
spirit energy before the spirit user's soul can be taken. And
even if a user's soul is absorbed, the spirit user can actually
keep putting protection around their soul to prevent the soul
eater from being able to fully utilize the soul and keep the
soul from dissolving into the mass of souls most mortals who eat
souls become. This means that many spirit users, even if their
soul is taken, have protection to avoid their souls being used
by others. This protect also protects the spirit against things
like corruption, such as some spirit users will use this to
prevent their soul from being corrupted and turned into a hollow
if they die, or a user may use this to keep certain energy
poisonings from affecting their soul. This ability is a great
way to learn to protect one's spirit, and allows a user to find
different ways to protect themselves. Some may even come up with
unique methods to protect their spirit, such as one half demon
and half human hybrid used a barrier around their soul to
protect themselves from being overtaken by demon energy when
they went into full demon form (essentially allowing them to use
a full demon form and maintain their mind without losing control
like they were previously). When it comes to this protection, it
can be very useful, but is not completely indestructible, as
some opponents can still break this protection and steal one's
soul, or corrupt the soul if their energy can break this
protection. It is also worth noting that this protection also
only works as long as a user has spirit energy, and if they are
out, they cannot use this skill.
Soul Healing/Soul Purification:
~Those with spiritual energies are able to use their spirit
energy to heal souls that have been damaged to a degree by
transferring some of their spirit energy. Those with permanent
soul damage or souls that have taken heavy damage are usually
weakened or they may be affected physically by it, but those
with spirit energy are able to heal that damage depending on
their spiritual natures to a degree. Some are able to do this
more easily than others, such as angels and holy vampires who
specialize in more positive spirit energy powers. Some races
like demons and death wraiths who use darker sides of their
souls may have a harder time utilizing this skill. However, each
race does have some ability to heal through spirit energy
transfer, where the spirit user uses the spirit energy in
another's body to amplify the life energy in the body to heal
itself. And in addition to healing, spirit users can also use
their spirit energy to remove corruption and tainting of souls
and spirits to a degree, with some races being better at it than
others. By using spirit energy to counter corruptions and
tainting, a spirit user can usually find a way to use this to
help remove energy corruption if a user is smart about how
they're using their spirit energy. For example, a spirit user
may counter demonic energy poisoning by using positive spirit
energy to counter the demonic spirit energy. Spirit users can
use this on themselves or on others (usually allies), and can
use this as long as they are willing to transfer spirit energy.
However, it is worth noting that that some spirit natures may
have additional ability to use this depending on the spirit they
have, such as angels being able to more easily heal and purify
with their spirit energy. However, one cannot bring someone back
from death, and in order to counter certain conditions, the user
has to know what is causing the problem. For example, this may
not work on normal illnesses, but if the user knows enough demon
energy poisoning, then they may be able to counter it with their
spirit energy. And with healing, one has to learn to utilize
spirit energy that won't be harmful to the person they want to
heal, as some spirit energies can react negatively, such as
angelic and demonic spirits clash and would likely cause more
pain and injury if an angel tried to heal a demon or vice versa
(though it would be possible, just painful).
Spirit User Astral Projection/Astral Possession:
~This ability comes with being able to access the spiritual, and
is something spirit users learned to do by accident. Those that
are in tune with their spirits are able to project their spirits
when they desire through astral projection by separating their
spirit from their body. Many are familiar with the concept of an
"out of body" experience, but spirit users learn to utilize it
when they choose to thanks to their enhanced spiritual training.
When projected, there are a few things that one can do when in
astral projection. Those with this are able to go to the Veil
where spirits are usually found, or the user can attempt to go
to the Spirit Realm, which is a realm where natural spirits
reside, if they are able to perceive the spirits. Typically,
this allows a user to more easily access spiritual planes, where
they can go there as a spirit rather than as a physical being. A
major use for this is that some spirit users learn to interact
with dead spirits this way, since some spirits are harder to
interact with in the living world under normal circumstances.
However, because of people like Barbas who found ways to use
this more creatively, there are also other ways to use this as
well. Some more devious users have learned to use this to follow
people and whisper suggestions to them, as a means to try and
mislead them, or some have even learned to possess others using
this ability. Advanced users of this can even go into people's
dreams as well, even being able to take control of someone
else's dreams once they learn how the dreaming process works
from inside the mind. This technique can be quite useful to
certain spirit users depending on what they use it for. However,
the major danger is what happens when one is in astral
projection, because their body remains vulnerable while they are
in this form (since they are not technically in their body,
their body could be attacked and they likely wouldn't know).
Another danger to this is that when one accesses places like the
spiritual or astral plane, their spirit may be noticed by other
entities, with the major one being dark spirits who may attack
them to try when in astral projection. For the most part, there
is one general rule to remember when dealing with the spirit
plane: When you see them, they see you. Other than that, things
like possession and astral suggestion still work just as one
would think, and the same weaknesses apply as they would to any
other uses of these powers.
Spirit Energy Constructs/Projectile Creation:
~As one might imagine, this is the main method of attack using
spirit energy. Those that learn to utilize spirit energy learn
to focus their spirit energy into spirit energy attacks that
they can use to fire at enemies. Many are familiar with certain
techniques like soul reaper Kido, or the hollow's cero
techniques, which are applications of this concept. When using
this, there are many ways to use spirit energy to attack
enemies. In terms of focusing energy for projectiles, there are
a few ways to do this. One could fire a spirit energy like a
beam attack, similar to how ki users fire waves of ki at
enemies, or one could fire concentrated blasts of spirit energy
at their opponents. Another method of using spirit energy is
that many spirit users can create spirit constructs, forming
spirit energy into forms they can use (For example, the Spirit
Sword technique creates a sword of spirit energy as a construct
of spirit energy). Depending on how it's used, there are many
ways to use spirit energy in projectiles and constructs which
can be done depending on the skills of the user and if they
learn certain techniques. For example, some human spirit users
learned the spirit gun, a concentrated spirit energy attack that
blasts opponents with raw spirit energy. When used, not only are
there many ways to use this (while there are many in the spirit
techniques/skills section, the ones listed are nowhere near
every spirit energy technique out there), but each person using
it could apply their own unique effects to techniques for
different effects. For example, the human spirit gun was learned
by a demon who was able to fire far more concentrated spirit
guns due to using his more concentrated demonic energy that was
able to overpower normal uses of the spirit gun. This mostly
depends on the user, how they're trained, and how creative they
are with how they concentrate spirit energy. There are many
variations of ways to use this, and many users can even create
their own unique spirit energy skills, but this particular power
mostly just covers basic uses of this skill, where users can
create blasts, constructs and other ways to use spirit energy to
attack or defend. For the most part, any spirit energy used can
still be countered like normal spirit energy, and unique effects
can also be countered just as they normally would be (like holy
energy could counter demonic spirit energy).
Spirit/Soul Summoning:
~This ability allows a user to tune into their spirit,
specifically allowing a user to learn to tap into parts of their
spirit and summon things within their spirit. The most common
examples of this include the death wraith soul sword technique
where death wraiths tap into their spirit and gain soul bound
weapons. Another example of this are certain manifestations of
spirit, such as Pai Zhua users are able to summon animal spirits
from within their spirit by tapping into their own animal
spirits. Users deep in connection with themselves are able to
tap into their spirit and find things within their spirit to
summon if they have hidden aspects in their spirit. Many spirit
users have some form of aspects of their spirit that they don't
know about, and spirit user training can help one focus on these
aspects and use them. Of course, this also depends on the
skillsets and abilities one has, as some skillsets are better at
using this than others. This is not to be confused with
connecting outside items to one's spirit, or about spirit
storage techniques, as this skill only covers drawing out things
within one's soul and learning to summon them from their soul.
Depending on what is summoned, and the skill used, spirit users
can learn a variety of techniques and only need to find a way to
awaken whatever it is they want to summon. Once a user is able
to utilize this, they can summon whatever is in their soul
freely, with the most common examples including one's animal
spirit (via Pai Zhua training), soul bound weapons (usually
common among death wraiths, soul reapers and arrancars, but not
limited to them), and spirit familiars generated from the soul
(which some do have spirit familiars that can be generated from
within their spirit). When summoned, whatever summoned is able
to be used depending on what is summoned, where familiars and
spirits inside the user can be summoned and controlled like most
familiars, or a weapon like a soul bound weapon could be called
and used in battle. For the most part, each art may be slightly
different, but they all share the same weakness: Anything that
is summoned can eventually be broken with enough power, where
things like familiars and spirits can be dispelled temporarily
if they are overpowered, or spirit weapons can be broken and
have to be repaired.
Spirit Item Empowerment:
~This ability lets a user use their spirit energy to empower
objects around them, usually as a means to create items or
weapons. When using this, a user simply passes some of their
spirit energy into an item, which can grant the item special
properties depending on how this is done. There are some that
have special arts to do this, such as some will empower an item
with spirit energy before a supernatural type blacksmith will
forge the item or weapon into a more powerful item or weapon.
Depending on how it's done, there are some that can create new
spirits within items using their spirit energy, such as someone
may use a special art on a weapon to create an intelligent
weapon. However, the most common use of this often just includes
a user learning to create items and weapons by empowering an
item. There are a variety of uses for this, such as storing
spirit energy in something for a user to use later to replenish
their spirit energy (such as storing their spirit energy in a
bottle of water to create spirit water that they can drink and
revitalize their spirit), or users may create items or weapons
that utilize their spirit (Such as how the demon Sesshomaru uses
his Bakusaiga, a sword made from his demonic spirit energy).
Some may even empower items and/or weapons for others, such as
some dragons may help each other by using their spirit energy to
forge weapons from their spirit different from the dragon's own
spirit so that they can use a sword with a different element to
grant them more variety in attacking (such as Olympus universe
Ryu Fefnir Bordas who had three swords each with different
spirit energy to create three very different blades). Some
weapons that have been made in this way develop their own
abilities and their own ways of communicating with their owner,
and have their own ways of growing in ability (such as spirit
weapons). Object and weapons empowered by this gain the spirit
power of the person who empowered it, which usually includes the
race's spirit power such as a death wraith spirit energy being
able to be used to make a shadow user weapon, or an angel making
a weapon a holy weapon by empowering it with their spirit. The
weapon or item empowered still uses the same powers as the
person who empowered it to an extent, and that means that they
have the same weaknesses, such as demons and angels items being
weak to the opposite type of spirit, or dragon weapons/items
being weak to the counter elements of the spirit energy, or any
other weakness the item or weapon might have.
Soul Resonance:
~Those with spirit energy are able to harmonize with other
spirits, being able to use this passive technique to tune their
spirit powers to combine their spirit power with another
supernatural or even harmonize with spirits within themselves.
For example, those with living weapons or spirit bound weapons
have to use this to be able to wield their weapons, and by use
this ability to harmonize with each other, the two are able to
use their power. However, those with this technique are able to
tune to others as well, with many spirit users often using this
alongside allies to tune their spirit to allies so that the
spirit user can combine attacks with another ally. This can
result in special techniques being usable that normally wouldn't
be able to be used, such as a demon and angel combining their
spirits to create a unique spirit attack that blends their
powers together when the two powers normally wouldn't be able to
combine together (unless used by a nephalem). The powers usable
depend on those tuning to each other, and the powers of the
other person. This is not limited to just other spirit users, as
a spirit user can tune to almost any energy a supernatural can
use. There are ways to tune spirit energy to other energies like
mana, chi/ki, psychic energy, and even elemental power depending
on the person the spirit user is trying to harmonize with. Due
to the variety of powers this spirit power can be used to attune
to, it is hard to name all the possible combinations, as there
are a large variety of them. However, the consistent thing is
that the spirit user tunes a spirit attack and combines it with
their ally, creating a much stronger unified attack with their
ally. As an example, one use harmonized with a ki user to fire a
spirit beam attack combined with a ki beam technique to create a
combined energy beam. Of course, as one might imagine, aside
from the increased power and additional person adding their
technique, techniques using this are still weak to the same
weaknesses as normal, with each spirit energy having specific
counters in addition to other energies (IE death wraith spirit
energy being weakened by strong enough light energy or
flashbangs).
Spirit User Techniques/Skills:
Spirit User Spirit Technique: Spirit Lightning:
~This technique was originally believed to be created by Kierran
Black, but other users of this have shown that there have been
spirit lightning techniques before Kierran Black developed his
version of the technique. This technique has become one of the
spirit user energy change form techniques that replicates
elements using spirit energy spirit energy changes in nature (by
changing spirit energy into a more static-like state). This
skill uses change in energy form, in which the energy is shaped
to have the same consistency as lightning once it's been applied
correctly. This power works similarly to lightning, but instead
of being lightning, this particular power is spirit energy. As
such, not only can this be used with spirit energy to do unique
spirit energy damage based on the spirit user's race, but this
lightning can also be used to bypass lightning immunity since it
is not true lightning. This power can work as an alternative to
powers like corrupted lightning, and can be used in similar
manners to lightning such as creating waves or beams of
lightning, releasing streams of spirit lightning to electrocute
objects and people, or even using concentrated spirit lightning
for piercing attacks. And not only can this use normal
conductors to conduct the spirit lightning, but this spirit
lightning also uses spirit energy to conduct lightning thanks
the technique being designed to attack spiritual energies rather
than physical. As such, those affected by this will not just be
hurt on a physical level, but will take damage on a spiritual
level. While this doesn't destroy spirits/souls, it does damage
them enough to usually incapacitate enemies after enough
exposure. However, depending on the spirit energy, this can also
be run through certain other energies based on the energy of the
user, such as a demon spirit lightning user could run their
spirit lightning through unholy energies as a conductor. For
countering, this is still countered like normal lightning, such
as using water or ice, but one can also use other energies to
counter this as long as it's not an energy that the spirit
lightning uses as a conductor.
Physical Spirit Amplification Combat:
~This technique utilizes spirit energy in physical combat, in
which a spirit user focuses their spirit into physical
amplification and focusing attack and defense techniques when
fighting. This takes a concept similar to the Mystic Knight
skills, where the user focuses more on physical amplification
using energy rather than using energy to attack (except that
this technique doesn't require a user giving up their normal
skills to utilize like mystic knights requires magic to be given
up to physical amplification). In this particular technique, a
user will often focus the spirit energy into their physical
attacks, whether it is to attack or defend. By strengthening
parts of their body with spirit energy, they focus on amping
their physical abilities in a fight. For example, a spirit user
may focus the spirit energy to their fists when trying to punch
an opponent, in which there are many techniques for spirit
punches and spirit kicks using spirit energy to attack using
physical combat. This power is often used in conjunction with
certain spirit user fighting styles such as the Satsui No Hado
or the Reshuyuken. When used, a user can not only use attacks,
but can use spirit energy to amplify their defense, such as
using spirit energy focused around one's arm to use their spirit
energy like a shield to block attacks. Depending on the use of
this and the style used, this can be a very useful fighting
technique, where users can apply this to almost any fighting
style if they truly desire if they can focus their physical
combat properly. And thanks to each race having different spirit
energy, the effects of the spirit energy used in this style can
also change depending on the race, with each race having
different effects that apply when they hit opponents with spirit
energy enhanced attacks (Such as a fire dragon attacking with
spirit energy would do fire elemental damage when their attacks
hit an opponent). As such this is a very useful technique, and
pretty basic. Mastering it however, requires a user to master
not only their own combat skills, but also master how they apply
spirit energy in combat. Of course, opponents can counter the
spirit energy just like any other, and users can still block and
dodge attacks and defenses just like any other physical combat.
Spirit Bond/Spirit Familiars:
~This skill is for those that want to learn how to bond their
spirit to an entity like a spirit, or gain a familiar, there are
arts that will allow one to do so. Unlike the spirit summoning,
this usually involves bonding an outside source to the spirit.
This can be used in a variety of ways, where a user can learn
different arts to bond certain living things to their spirit.
The first common one is familiars, where more spiritual users
will use an art to bond a familiar to them (usually working best
if the familiar agrees to be bonded to the user). Familiars can
come in all shapes and sizes, and when bonded, users will often
gain special connections to the familiars they bond to to them.
Of course, there are many arts to gain familiars, which users
can learn if they have a skill for it (such as some spirit users
have developed an art that will use spirit energy to summon a
spirit or familiar they have an affinity for). The second most
common thing this is used for is bonding spirits to oneself, in
which there are arts that can allow one to either befriend or
even enslave spirits (though enslaving spirits is often
considered a taboo skill among many races that know the
spirits). When bonding spirits, usually this bond is created to
allow the user and the spirit to share their power together,
usually as a means to work together and strengthen each other.
Many spirits will often feed on energy given to them to grow
stronger, and in exchange they will help the user. Whether it's
a familiar or a spirit or something other outside force bonded
to the spirit, spirit users can use this art to bond entities or
even sometimes bond objects to their spirit (more on that
later). There are many ways to use this, so it is not always
constant, as there are different arts to do different things.
However, the main thing to note in every case is that the user
must bond to something to use this art, with almost all bonds of
this skill being to outside sources (not something generated
from inside the body). As for countering this skill, the most
common counter is by using energy or other spirits, where an
opponent may be able to counter with similar arts. Though what
is summoned usually depends on what an opponent has to do to
counter this (IE a weapon being summoned can just be countered
by another weapon).
Zoe have a few spirits who will protect her whenever summoned to
her side. All poltergeist have the ability to interact and use
their powers in their invisible state. If they take on a
physical appearance each one is unique and has it's own special
features for fighting. These summons can not be killed, but
their physical forms can be temporarily destroyed and can not be
called again for 2 hours (at least 5 to 8 RP turns depending on
the damage).
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 Ki User: Spirit Ki Control:
~This is a somewhat strange ki type that was developed on the
planet of Yardrat. There aren't many who have been known to use
this ki type, due to not many knowing about the existence of
this ki type. This ki type unites the spirit energy in one's
spirit with the body's ki, to create a combination of spirit and
ki. This union creates spirit ki, which uses properties of both
ki and spirit energy to create a unique power. Spirit ki is
unique in that it is a type of ki that can be used like normal
spirit energy (meaning that spirit energy users can learn this
ki as well), or it can be used like normal ki. The main draw to
this ki training though are the unique techniques that one can
use. This ki requires not just training of the body though, but
also requires training of the mind in order to use this
effectively. Those that want to use this must unite their spirit
and ki through special training and meditation, which is much
harder to learn than most other advanced ki types. Typically,
this ki type also allows one to eventually open the door to
learning spirit user abilities, with some spirit ki users
actually also learning to use spirit energy to more easily
combine their spirit energy and ki. This type of ki was
developed by the people of Yardrat, and their techniques often
seem strange to many people, but their techniques are still
quite effective. However, just like most other ki types, this is
only usuable if one has the ki (and in this case, spirit energy)
to use to power this ki, and this is more easily countered by
other advanced ki types, particularly those that use genki,
though those that can counter spirit power can also counter this
as well, making spirit users another good counter for this
power. This ki type also require union of ki and spirit through
meditation, and not being able to unite their ki and spirit
through things like strong negative emotions can interrupt a
user's use of this type of ki.
Zoe manage to learn this spirit art when training with Jon
Talbain in martial arts, hence her developing this kind of ki
art.
Spirit Ki Technique: Spirit Cloning:
~Much like her demigod cousin's ninjutsu cloning arts, Zoe can
use her spirit ki abilities to create clones of herself, which
is very handy in battles. Zoe can even level her spirit energy
with the clones so she can fool her opponents. With enough hits
or a precise/brutal hit, the clones can be disperse almost
instantly so Zoe may have to be careful.
Spirit Ki Technique: Masenko:
~A technique taught to her by Callion in the Dark Dimension. The
attack is performed by the user placing both hands above the
head with the palms facing the target and one hand in front of
the other with the fingers going in opposite directions. When
the user thrusts their hands forward, they call the name and
fire a beam of yellow, white, or orange energy. Though Zoe's
beam comes out green.
Gekiretsu Madan:
~First, Zoe raises her hands up to her sides and charges a green
energy sphere in each hand. She then puts her hands forward and
fires a barrage of green energy waves against the opponent,
inflicting a massive amount of damage.
Spirit Ki Technique: Beast Cannon:
~A technique that Zoe learned from Jon Talbain. Zoe can dash
forward while surrounding herself with spirit ki energy. This
can be use in both offensive and defensive ways since she can
use them to attack opponents or ram through barriers such as
walls, shields, etc. She can also use it to evade attacks such
as projectiles if possible.
Bash:
~This technique allows Zoe to push herself away from various
objects and enemies, knocking them in the opposite direction by
using spirit energy.
Grapple:
~This technique allows Zoe to pull herself in a straight line to
various objects and enemies by using her spirit energy.
Ancestral Lightning:
~This ability grants Zoe a 25% damage boost (will only last for
two rp rounds).
Combat Skills:
Karate Intuition:
~The user can intuitively understand karate, a Japanese martial
art and combat sport based around striking with the hands, feet,
knees and elbows as well as some kinds of throws and joint locks
in certain styles.
Zoe was taught Shotokan Karate by Jon Talbain. A karate style
that founded by the aforementioned Gichin Funakoshi, Shotokan
was the first modern karate school, and the founders of many
other styles actually studied this before establishing their
own. Technically speaking, Shotokan emphasizes more on finesse
and long range attack, requiring practitioners to be both nimble
and well-balanced. Most of its competitions are ruled in points
and demonstrations of skill over rough finishes.
Aikido Intuition:
~The user has innate knowledge of aikido, a type of martial art,
created by Ueshiba Morihei, that utilizes twisting and throwing.
It is similar to jujitsu and judo; however, it is
non-competitive and focuses on self-improvement and
self-defense. Furthermore, unlike judo, it assumes there are
more than one attacker. Unlike jujitsu, aikido aims to reduce
injuries. Aikido also is a form of philosophy about improving
one's character through peace and non-violence rather than
perfecting martial arts.
Systema Intuition:
~The user possesses an innate understanding of systema, a
Russian martial art that advocates a straight-edge and instructs
fighters to discard ego, fear, and tension in the heat of
combat. Training includes hand to hand combat, grappling, knife
fighting, and firearms training.
Darkfire Kenpo Substyle: Leiji (Lightning Strike):
~This is a style that is often replicated in other styles just
as the aspect of flowing water is. Many styles focus on striking
fast and striking strong like lightning. In this style, users
learn to do just that. By using the Chrishoken elements of the
Kenpo style, a Darkfire learns extreme speed, while also having
to learn Baguazhang to strike opponents. When done correctly,
the style will often be extremely fast, while also hitting with
immense impact. When combined with lightning manipulation, users
of this style are able to hit opponents and then use their
lightning at the point of impact to blast opponents. While this
may seem similar to the flowing water style in some aspects,
this style focuses more on speed and striking power. When using
this style, most Darkfires not only focus on amping their bodies
with lightning to enhance their physical stats, but also focus
on electrocuting their enemies when striking them or when
blocking attacks. Some users of this style have even thrown in
some aspects of Judo and Jujitsu to grab, throw or even lock
down opponents and then use their lightning to electrocute
opponents (usually as a means to disable them). Like Chrishoken,
this is a mostly offensive style, designed around overwhelming
an opponent and not allowing them to get an attack in rather
than fighting defensively. Users of this style are both fast and
hit with strong force, making this a great style to use
offensively. Darkfires that use the grabs, locks and holds also
have certain other options when fighting up close, which gives
this style even better use against opponents. However, unlike
the Chrishoken style that focuses more on offense, this style
does have some defensive options that are carried over from the
Baguazhang style. Users can not only use defensive blocks and
parries, but can also use lightning defensively to electrocute
people who try to make physical contact with opponents.
Opponents that want to counter this style will often find that
the best way to avoid electrical attacks is to use either water
to short out the style's lightning, or use non-conductive
clothes or armor to avoid getting electrocuted. Other than that,
this style can be countered like any other speed based style.
Spirit User Combat Style: Shotokan Ansatsuken Style:
~This is one of the spirit user styles that some spirit users
may default to learning as their combat style. This style is
known as the assassin's fist, most commonly known for its
ability to kill opponents. There are two major variations of
this style. The first is the Hado no Chikara (Surge's Power),
which is a more non-lethal variant of the overall style. This
style focuses more on the spiritual and peaceful aspect of the
style, where users overcome their killing intent and let go of
their fear, anger, and pride to draw on the body's power to
protect rather than destroy. The second style is the more
violent variant of this style, which more people are familiar
with: The Satsui no Hado (Surge of Murderous Intent), where a
user focuses their physical and spiritual power to kill their
opponents. Both are pure opposites in power, and use different
sources of focus to use this combat, but both styles are very
similar in nature, with Hado no Chikara being more positive in
nature, and the Satsui no Hado being more negative in power.
Spirit users can learn either of these styles with the right
teacher, and can learn not only how to focus the style, but can
also focus the spiritual aspect of the style to use energy type
attacks that this style offers such as the Hadouken (a blast of
energy that can damage opponents). This style draws on the
spirit, and depending on the source of power, transforms one's
mindset into physical power that can be used in their combat
style. No matter the style used, both are able to fight
opponents using not just physical combat, but energy attacks
that can be focused through the user's mental state. As such,
this style is not just about the physical training, but also the
mental training. The Hado no Chikara and Satsui no Hado are both
strong styles, with the major difference being the mindset with
which its used. In terms of countering these styles, the best
way is to unbalance the emotions of the user, as this often
requires users to focus their minds as well. Either that, or
opponents can counter this with other combat styles if the
opponent is skilled enough or has a superior combat style
(usually depending on the opponent's training).
Zoe learned the Hado no Chikara due to her soft nature.
Spirit User Movement Method: Spirit Acceleration:
~This is a combat acceleration technique that was modeled after
soul reaper flashstep or arrancar sonido. This method uses
spirit energy to speed up the body's movements, and uses this to
amp the body's ability to move so that opponents can move fast
enough to keep up with fast supernaturals by using a combination
of spirit energy and precise movement. This combat tactic lets
users speed themselves up by concentrating the amp of their
spirits into their body, usually projecting it into the limbs so
that the limbs can move more efficiently while using precise
movement to allow a user to move at extremely high speeds when
in motion. Users can appear to disappear from view when in
motion, similar to other high speed movement users, and spirit
users can learn this alongside their spirit amplification
training, and can learn this alongside whatever combat style
they may choose (as this works with almost any style if one
masters it properly). This technique requires precision
movement, careful coordination and the ability to process things
at higher speeds (which can come with training if a user trains
their mind and body properly), since this is a dangerous combat
maneuver that can easily result in someone hurting themselves,
like running themselves into things if they can't stop process
what's going on fast enough and can't stop before they hit
something. This particular style is often used by more
experienced fighters used to moving fast through combat stepping
methods or other speed based abilities, since they are used to
moving fast. Using this is very difficult, but if used properly,
the skill can prove very useful in combat. Users, however, must
be careful when combining this with combat style stepping
methods, as sometimes the combination can be too much speed to
handle in some cases (Such as one user who tried to combine this
with hollow sonido and pancaked into a wall because they
couldn't control their speed). It is also worth noting that
other high speed movement users can also keep up with this
style, as users can use other high speed movements to counter
this just as this counters other high speed movement.
Spirit User Weapons Experts:
~During their time training in combat, many spirit users will
train in weapons, in which many have trained in a number of
weapons from guns to swords, to even knowing how to use a staff.
Normal weapons are usually pretty obvious, such as swords,
staves and other melee weapons are often common things spirit
users train with as part of their combat training. Even if a
spirit user doesn't like using weapons, they at least learn how
to use them, and can use them if they ever have to (though there
are many that also might have specific weapons they might use).
And depending on the weapons, some spirit users may even learn
to use special supernatural weapons if they have access to
supernatural weapons (such as some may have special spirit
weapons made for them to use in combat). The next thing to
mention is guns. While guns are something supernaturals don't
always care for, spirit users will use them if they have to and
can utilize guns to pretty useful effect. Thanks to this, many
spirit users who use guns may learn to use guns and become
expert marksmen. Depending on their training, there are many who
are great with many kinds of guns, with some who may have their
own preferences when it comes to guns (like some stronger
supernaturals might prefer higher caliber guns if they can fire
them more easily than weaker people since high caliber guns have
a lot of recoil). When it comes to using guns, spirit users will
often have to learn how to predict opponents movements, and they
also have to learn how to account for things like wind
resistance and friction when using guns. However, among more
advanced gun users, Some may be able to do things like ricochet
bullets around if they are able to calculate the trajectory of
the bullets, or some may also learn to instinctively aim if they
have good combat instincts. Of course, as one might expect,
every weapon does have drawbacks, and this includes even
supernatural weapons. Every weapon can be countered somehow, and
spirit users usually have to be careful when using weapons so
that the weapons don't become a crutch for their combat as too
much reliance may make them too reliant on weapons over their
spiritual power and training.
Spirit User Supernatural Hunting Weapons Experts:
~Because spirit users have to learn how to fight supernaturals,
spirit users often have supernatural hunter weapons that they
can use even if some may not like using weapons. This includes
things like silver knives, blessed weapons, and even special
materials like varanium and stilled silver. This usually depends
on the spirit user and what they have available to use, as
spirit users usually prepare for whatever kinds of supernaturals
they might fight. For example, before going into a werewolf
infested forest, a spirit user grab some silver knives to use,
or they would use special holy weapons if they were fighting
demons or other demonic type creatures. There are a number of
supernatural hunter weapons that spirit users know how to use
(not all of which are spiritual in nature, and knows how to
utilize them thanks to their time spent fighting supernaturals.
There are a great number of supernatural hunting weapons spirit
users can learn, and many can even develop their own through
things like spiritual item empowerment. But for the most part,
it is hard to quantify every option out there, since there are
so many. Spirit users often have weapons dependent on their
situations, where many will specifically train to fight whatever
supernaturals they think they may face. Users may also choose
weapons based on what they have available, such as some who are
a part of groups may have access to certain weapons others don't
have. This also includes certain materials that might be
available, where users can take advantage of certain materials
used to fight supernaturals. The biggest examples of this kind
of material are varanium and stilled silver, which have become
popular for fighting supernaturals due to the effects they have
on supernaturals. Some spirit users may even use spyrix to fight
spiritual opponents (though this is dangerous due to its effect
on all spirits, not just enemies). For the most part, this
mostly covers weapons specifically designed for fighting
supernatural opponents, as normal weapons are usually covered
under their weapons training. And like all weapons, these kinds
of weapons all have counters depending on the weapons.
Spirit User Spirit Combat Knowledge:
~Because spirit users typically have to learn to fight spiritual
opponents (due to them having to fight things like hollows and
dark spirits), spirit users typically have a huge knowledge of
how to fight spiritual opponents. This isn't just about blasting
opponents, but spirit users have combat knowledge of how to
attack spiritual opponents by using their spirit energy in
physical combat as well as weapon combat. While the techniques
of using spirit techniques to attack spirits may work well,
there are times where spirit users may want to attack spiritual
opponents using physical attacks. Spirit users are extremely
skilled at combating spiritual type opponents, and can apply
this aspect of their combat to any part of their combat. There
are usually two aspects to this style. The first is one may
learn to utilize spirit user techniques into their physical
combat. Among more popular methods of using this are spirit
amplification of physical stats using the physical amplification
technique, or some users may learn to release blasts of spirit
energy from their physical attacks. This can be used a variety
of ways, as it mostly just depends on the user, the techniques
and abilities they have, and how creative they get with their
attacks. The second aspect of this style is applying spirit
power to physical attacks, whether they are physical combat or
weapon combat techniques. While most spirit users do have spirit
energy combat styles, most are able to also apply their spirit
knowledge to their physical combat in order to not have to waste
power on techniques all the time. For example, a spirit user
could apply this to a martial arts style and they could use
physical attacks on a spirit while still doing damage to the
spirit. This applies as well to weapons, where users can apply
spirit combat to weapons in order to attack spiritual enemies.
This is a basic aspect of combat that all spirit users learn,
and depending on how it's used, users can still be countered
like normal combat styles. Aside from the spirit component of
this aspect of combat, an opponent can still counter, and some
opponents may counter this more easily (such as hollows and dark
spirits may have their own ways to counter this even if this is
still very effective on them as well).
Spirit User Dark Spirit Combat/Corrupted Spirit Knowledge:
~Because of spirit users often attracting dark spirits that
usually want to steal their spirits, spirit users have become
experts in dark spirits and other evil spirit entities from
Xeles's side of the Shadow Realm. The biggest one is dark
spirits, in which many spirit users have been fighting dark
spirits as one of their primary enemies for a long time. They
are an expert in almost every dark spirit that they know of, and
an expert on how to deal with other evil spirits like hollows
and high level lost souls that might escape the death wraiths
and soul reapers. Thanks to their spirit power and some who even
develop skills to fight them, there aren't many dark spirits or
evil spirits that usually escape higher level spirit users, as
they usually end up fighting dark spirits and corrupted spirits.
They are experts of almost every kind of dark spirit known,
aside from more unique ones like certain combinations of dark
spirit powers (such as London Kuroshi who is a mix of multiple
dark spirit types to create his own new dark spirit type).
Overall, spirit users are knowledgeable about much of dark
spirits and how they operate, such as things like dark spirit
rebirths (which many don't fully understand), dark spirit
rituals and even how to counter dark spirits that are immune to
spirit purification (which are rare, but some are immune to
normal spirit purification). Because dark spirits are more
attracted to spirit users, they have to constantly fight these
spirits, even more so than fighting other physical enemies they
might have. However, there are some dark spirits that spirit
users don't know how to destroy, or how to overcome, with the
two major ones they can't beat being Xeles and Phantom (almost
all every spirit user knows to avoid these two at all costs, and
know not to deal with them). Among others might be dark spirits
like those from the Dark Multiverse, as few people ever come
from the Dark Multiverse to the point that no one really knows
much about them.
Supernatural Strengths and Weaknesses Expert:
~Since spirit users have to fight other supernaturals as much as
anyone else due to them, like so many, have to learn to defend
themselves from supernatural creatures. Depending on their
training, most spirit users have to learn how to fight all types
of creatures whether they want to or not as most spirit users
will end up being hunted by those like soul eaters even if they
choose not to fight (as many soul eaters will go after spirit
users for their stronger spirits and better power gain when
taking the souls of spirit users). Depending on the spirit user,
some are able to learn as much as they can about supernaturals
from the human world, or some may learn about supernaturals from
others, or some may even learn from firsthand experience in
combat. As such, they know the strengths and weaknesses of
almost every race, including spells, exorcisms and traps used
against almost all manners of supernaturals depending on their
research and how much they've learned about races. Depending on
the age and experience of the spirit user, most learn as much
about killing supernaturals as they can, as the more they know
about fighting supernaturals, the higher their chance of
survival in a world that will usually have some that will hunt
them. For example, those with knowledge of weaknesses might know
that a human form dragon's elemental breath can be disrupted
with a good punch to the throat, and that is just one example of
weaknesses one can learn with enough focus and research. While
most focus on spiritual type opponents, many will also have to
learn about supernaturals, with their main enemies being soul
eater races like demons, vampires and other races that may try
to devour souls. Because of this, spirit users must learn to
fight physical opponents as much as spiritual types. Thankfully,
with all the knowledge available in the world, many spirit users
can find information on many different races, with the only
limits to their knowledge being if they can find information or
learn through firsthand experience with supernaturals.
Supernatural Hunting and Tracking:
~Whether a spirit user is a supernatural hunter or not, spirit
users learn a lot of the tricks supernatural hunters use through
research into supernatural hunting techniques, and picked up a
lot of tricks to track people down whether it is through
fighting supernatural hunters or being supernatural hunters
themselves (there are spirit users on both ends of the
spectrum). This has left them with not only a great sense for
hunting down opponents they need to hunt down, but also left
them with an innate ability to track opponents. Werecreatures
are able to learn to do very subtle things, like tell whether a
foot print is their target or not by things like the shape of
the boot and how deep the boot-print is, as well as also being
able to tell where their opponents go thanks to circumstances
like walking on plants, and animals that are unusually silent
being signs of predators in an area. They usually have a sense
of when opponents are near, as well as usually knowing which way
an opponent is going. And if a spirit user has supernatural
senses as well as normal senses, many spirit users can develop a
great sense of where things are around them. This is especially
true of spirit users when they learn to sense spiritual
presences, due to the fact that this can also help track others
or tell if people are tracking them by what presences are around
them. For the most part, there are spirit users who become
supernatural hunters, while there are some that also some that
hunt down supernaturals depending on the spirit user (since
there are such a wide range of spirit users out there). This
skill is something that not only requires knowledge of tracking,
and using the environment, but also requires knowledge of
supernaturals as well. For example, some werecreatures actually
jump through trees in the forest rather than walk on the ground,
in which supernaturals or supernatural hunters have to
understand that and use that knowledge to their advantage. Many
spirit users usually have a sense of when creatures are around
them, and most are trained specifically to track supernatural
creatures for their own survival (and that is to say nothing of
avoiding spiritual presences like dark spirits). Most have come
up with many ways to track supernaturals, as the tactics of
supernaturals are always rapidly changing as supernaturals come
to learn supernatural hunter tricks for hunting. Even among
human spirit users, most learn these tricks without any special
senses or abilities, as they just rely on the environment or on
what they learn about how to track creatures.
Supernatural Training: Exorcism, Weakness and Trap Knowledge:
~Most spirit users are trained or learn how to use exorcisms and
traps for a multitude of creatures and mythologies, due to
exorcisms and traps being very useful in their own survival.
Spirit users typically use exorcisms and traps in order to take
advantage of other races weaknesses, and typically use this on
other creatures that are vulnerable to exorcisms and traps. For
example, some spirit users know that holy oil works well for
trapping angels, and even know demonic exorcisms to exorcise
angels back to Heaven due to the occasional angel or demon who
might try to recruit or hunt them depending on their intentions.
For the most part, they also know how most supernaturals
operate, in case they should find themselves up against other
supernaturals. Most spirit users seek as many ways to exorcise
and trap beings as possible, specifically for finding ways to
trap stronger enemies they may have to run away from or fight.
As such, many spirit users that have been alive a long time have
had the time to build up their knowledge. This can also help
some spirit users learn to avoid certain weaknesses of their
race depending on the user (such as one spirit user who was a
werewolf that used this training to learn to avoid certain
tricks supernatural hunters use to fight werewolves). Most
spirit users learn this in order to survive if they are on the
wrong side of supernatural hunters or other supernaturals, and
learn as much as they can with what they have. Typically, things
like exorcisms and traps can easily save a spirit user's life in
dangerous situations, and some spirit users have learned a lot
about these not just through books, but by watching others who
use these kinds of skills. Spirit users also have the advantage
of making certain items to help with this, such as they might
have certain supernatural items made that might be useful for
handling certain kinds of supernaturals if they have time to
prepare for battling a supernatural.
Supernatural Hunter Counter Experts (Supernatural Hunter Spirit
Users):
~Because of the rivalry between some supernatural hunter groups,
there are some supernatural hunter groups that fight each other.
Because of this, most supernatural hunters also have to worry
about other supernatural hunter groups, or some supernatural
hunter hunter groups who use their own tactics against them,
which even applies to spirit users who become supernatural
hunters. Because of this, supernatural hunters have to be aware
of when groups are using their own tactics, and they have to
adapt and counter those tactics when they arise. This training
also teaches supernatural hunters how to avoid certain traps and
tracking that other supernaturals will use, with some groups
training their supernatural hunters how to counter the
supernatural hunter group rivals of the group they're trained by
(For example, the Christian churches may have rivalries with
different churches supernatural hunter groups, or certain other
secret groups like the Men of Letters may refuse to cooperate
with other groups). Because of this, it's also important for
supernatural hunters to realize that their enemies are not
always supernaturals, but sometimes other humans and other
supernatural hunters. This mostly applies to supernaturals that
double as supernatural hunters (and may apply to spirit users),
as they often come under scrutiny for hunting their own kind and
some human supernatural groups won't let them operate as
supernatural hunters in fear they may turn on humans. Because of
this, supernatural hunters are not only weary of supernaturals
they hunt, but also of other supernatural hunters (though many
supernatural hunters often form groups for better survival
chances). To an extent, supernatural hunters have to be weary of
supernatural hunters they might come across, though most have to
learn when other supernatural hunters are enemies and when they
are allies, or else they could make unnecessary enemies. Of
course, this also works to counter when supernaturals use this
as a means to counter supernatural hunters, which is a tactic
that many supernatural hunters are seeing more and more of in
the current days.
Spirit User Training: Presence Suppression/Crowd Blending:
~Most spirit users have to learn how to blend into crowds and
learn to avoid suspicion, usually as a way to avoid dark spirits
and some other supernaturals whether they are supernaturals or
supernatural hunters. While most normal people don't give many
spirit users a second glance, many still learn to blend into
crowds and learn to avoid suspicion from anyone that might find
them suspicious. And because many spirit users also live in the
open by learning to blend into crowds, this even more important
to avoid dangerous supernaturals who might try to take them out
if they are discovered. As such, the ability to blend into a
crowd is still just as important as it is for other
supernaturals and supernatural hunters. For the most part,
spirit users often learn the best ways to avoid drawing
attention to themselves in crowds, learning methods to keep
suspicion off them. For example, some will have ways to hide
their weapons when out in public, often wearing casual clothes
or clothes to fit whatever area they're in (such as wearing
clothes common to the area they're in to avoid looking out of
place) that can allow them to not show their weapons they may
carry with them. Thankfully, there are a number of skills spirit
users can learn to suppress their spiritual presence, or they
can learn to hide using other methods. For example, if being
hunted by a werewolf, a spirit user might use different colognes
to confuse a werewolf's sense of smell. Crowds can be very
useful, as crowds can mask someone's presence, due to so many
people often being in one area that many aspects are impossible
to differentiate, and hiding in crowds can make one hard to find
if they blend in to the crowd well enough, allowing a
supernatural hunter to be able to avoid suspicion from
supernaturals they are hunting or other supernaturals in general
(as supernaturals they are not hunting may attack them). For the
most part, this is something spirit users learn depending on
what they are, and how they choose to hide, so how this is used
is different depending on the spirit user.
Murderous Intent Sense:
~This lets those with this sense when an attack is coming,
usually by being able to tell when someone has the intent to
kill. This is a skill most warriors get by fighting constantly
for many years, learning how to sense someone's murderous intent
usually through encountering it first-hand enough that they
start to develop a strange sense that lets them read people and
be able to tell when someone has the intention to kill. This
lets the user read their environment as well as the people
around them in order to see what attacks might be coming their
way by reading an opponent's body language and the "sense" of
people around them. This gives them a passive sense of reading
people who might try to hurt them, as they can sense when
someone is ready to attack, and most people can usually sense
when that murderous intent is aimed at them. Some can sense this
literally as an aura through things like ki sense, but most
sense it in an instinctive way once their instincts have been
developed through constant fighting and battles. This gives the
user time to predict an attack, and to some extent, helps the
person predict what opponents will do in a fight by reading
their murderous intent. For example, by reading an opponent's
body language, such as how they move or how tense they might be,
a user of this can read opponents movements in order to predict
how they will fight or attack, as some have developed entire
fighting styles predicting people through this method, such as
the Hiten Mitsurugi sword style that uses this to predict
opponents. However, this sense is not perfect, and some
opponents can't be read if they can disguise their murderous
intent or they learn skills that can trick people with this
sense. Those who have no ability to feel emotions also don't
give off this murderous intent, as those who don't have emotions
don't feel the intent to kill. This sense is usually pretty
reliable unless one can suppress their murderous intent, and is
usually instinctive among people who have seen a lot of battle
and those that have fought for their lives multiple times. The
only real way to develop this is experience, as no amount of
training can truly grasp how this sense truly works as it is
only a passive ability that one can pick up by experiencing
murderous intent firsthand from enough people that they learn to
recognize the murderous intent in the feelings they get from
people.
Passive Abilities:
Wall Jump:
~The user can adhere to walls for brief periods and kick off of
them, achieving better jump height than usual. When used between
two walls that are close enough together, the user can easily
scale surfaces by jumping between the two walls.
By being able to stick to the walls you become high wall,
existing bellow the tiering being this the definition of high
wall.
Double Jump:
~The user uses their own inertia to create a vortex around
themselves that substitutes a physical body to propel themselves
off of.
Some users can jump infinitely, this is made possible due to
their leg strength - using the speed of a kick through the air,
one can use the air (which, due to the speed of the kick, could
not escape properly) as a sort of cushion of the fall, therefore
using it to jump another time. Given that the user has enough
power in his/her legs, one can jump as many times as possible. A
common video game cliché.
Glide:
~This allows Zoe to slowly drift to the ground.
Dash:
~This allows Zoe to charge quickly left or right, even in the
air.
Burrow:
~This allows Zoe to burrow through the ground, including sand
and snow.
Supernatural Survivability:
~The user is able to survive massive and even horrific injuries
or damage, or almost any level of danger or circumstances. In
some cases simply managing to cheat death even in seemingly
inescapable and deadly situations. As both a blessing and a
curse, the Zolnerowich family has the ability to survive almost
anything life throws at them that would flat out kill a human
being. Zoe is no exception since she has been surviving through
nearly impossible odds ever since she was born, even when people
were sure that she was going to die thanks to a witch.
Strong Heart:
~Users possess a very potent heart both spiritually and
physically letting them survive most heart diseases. The user's
heart also possesses a grand form of power, allowing them to
survive most forms of corruption or whatever seeks to harm it.
Strong Soul:
~User has a strong soul that is equivalent to the power of many
souls which comes in handy in situations that tests one's
spiritual fortitude and grants spiritual abilities. The user's
soul is unable to be bound by anything and lives free without
any need of dependence. It is also strengthened by the user's
desire to get what they want, no matter the cost.
Tranquil Fear:
~The user can control their fear while retaining tranquility and
are able to face what they're afraid of with the relentless
courage of a warrior while gaining the vigilance and precaution
of a survivor. If users master their fear they can develop an
intuition of fear itself, using it to their own benefit and
induce fear into others.
The user can act in perfect clarity even under the most extreme
kinds of horrors or traumatic experiences, allowing them to
endure the extreme mental stress, achieve temporary
fearlessness, be immune to fear manipulation and resistant to
torture using fear.
Unlike Fearlessness or Fear Masking, the user doesn't have an
apathy to fear or just be courageous alone, but rather they
embrace their fears with courage in order to master it with
complete emotional equilibrium and tranquility.
Spirit User Passive Skill: Iron Defense:
~This particular passive skill was based on the arrancar art,
hierro, which uses spirit power to strengthen the skin to
increase defense in battle as a passive skill. This power works
similar to dragon skin in how it operates, and uses spirit
energy emitting from the body to strengthen the skin as the
spirit energy flows to be released from the body. The degree of
the effectiveness of this skill depends on the person's
spiritual power, and how much energy they are able to generate,
in which this power is trained and concentrated using energy
normally wasted when expelled from the body. This skill's
strength depends on the person, with some having stronger
ability to use this and some having weaker abilities. Abilities
like regeneration and other hardened skin abilities make this
ability weaker, since power is usually diverted to other
methods, but those with just this power can use a stronger form
of this than those without things like regenerate. Trying to
pierce one's defense requires more power, and the stronger the
iron defense, the harder it is to pierce the spirit user. This
acts like a natural defense to those with this power, and helps
them defend against attacks to a degree. And depending on the
race, they can gain defense against certain techniques, such as
death wraiths spirit energy being able to also weaken shadow
attacks that might be used on them thanks to the shadow based
spirit energy that is emitted from their body. But just as they
may gain strengths, they also gain weaknesses, like death wraith
versions of this skill upping defense against shadow abilities,
but this technique can be overcome in death wraiths far more
easily with concentrated light attacks and blessed sea salt. And
any user strong enough to physically over-power this defense can
do so without needing special techniques. This can also be more
easily pierced by those with stronger spirit power, where those
with stronger spirits can overpower the spirit used in this
skill. This also can only be used as long as a user has spirit
energy to spare, and once depleted of their spirit energy, they
cannot use this until they recover their spirit energy.
Spirit User Passive Skill: Accelerated Healing:
~While many consider the spirit users to always be
supernaturals, they are usually whatever race they are (many of
which are humans). If the spirit user is a race without
regeneration abilities, then they would heal only as fast as a
normal human. However, through physical focus and training, even
human spirit users have learned to train their bodies to heal
more quickly, by training their bodies into peak physical
condition and focusing their spiritual power into their bodies
to promote faster healing. While many spirit users do have
regeneration in some form, not all have regeneration, and
instead rely on this accelerated healing. As an example of the
effectiveness of this, a deep cut (as long as it doesn't
puncture an organ or other vital spot) could heal in a few days
(whereas most humans it would take months-years to heal), or
certain smaller injuries could heal in a matter of hours. This
utilizes peak physical and spiritual condition to train the
bodies, and is not actually supernatural regeneration. This
means that while spirit users can heal fast, this isn't a
supernatural method of regenerating, and is just them having
trained their bodies beyond that of most beings. As such, this
particular faster healing is not negated by things like varanium
or other regeneration negation abilities since this power is not
any form of supernatural or even tech based regeneration. While
spirit users can enhance their healing with things like
cybernetics and gaining certain supernatural race abilities,
most who don't have regeneration focus on building this up
through spiritual and physical training. As one might imagine
though, this is only an enhanced normal human level healing, and
doesn't use supernatural regeneration which means that certain
injuries cannot be healed naturally. For example, a spirit user
who loses a limb cannot regrow a limb simply from using this
healing, and this normal healing cannot be used to heal from
fatal injuries without help from someone who can heal them
before they die. This means that spirit users with this can
still be killed like they normally would be if they are forced
to only rely on this (like humans are normal to normal human
weaknesses).
Spirit User Training Passive Skill: Spiritual Attunement:
~This is a unique skill that spirit users develop. Through their
training, they are able to tune to their spirits, and this
grants them a unique sense of themselves. The first major aspect
of this is that a spirit user tunes to their spirit, and are
able to get a sense of what they need to do to help train their
spirit to get stronger. For example, some with positive spirit
power may meditate and be able to sense that training in a
certain way may grant them new abilities, or some may use this
connection to find ways of training that will help them grow
stronger more effectively than the training they'd normally do.
This isn't just about combat or training, but allows a spirit
user to truly understand their spirit and how it works. This
allows a user to gain a knowledge of their spirit that can help
them in many aspects, and also allows them to better utilize
their spirit user skills. By tuning to the spirit, users can
also gain a stronger connection to the spiritual plane, which is
the next aspect of this power. By tuning to the spiritual plane,
a spirit user is able to utilize this connection to sense the
spiritual, such as sensing spirits around them. When using this
attunement, spirit users can more easily sense what's around
them with their spirit sense, as this strengthens their
spiritual senses. When combining these two aspects, spirit users
typically are able to grow in ability with their spirit energy
much more effectively, and can more easily tap into the
potential that may be hidden in their spirits. Of course, this
doesn't have too much bearing on battles, as this is more about
training, attuning to the spiritual plane, and allowing a user
to more effectively learn to use their spirit powers. But it is
worth noting that spirit users cannot rush their growth, as they
can over-stress their spirits if they try to tap too deep into
their spirit and pull out their abilities too intensely. This
can cause damage to their spirit, and in extreme cases even
cause the user to stop being able to use spirit energy either
temporarily or permanently depending on the extremity of what
they're doing.
Spirit User Spirit Energy Affinities:
~Thanks to their training in the spirit, and them learning to
attune their spirits, spirit users often gain an affinity for
spirit energy abilities as they grow in their ability to draw on
their spirit energy. This allows some users to more easily learn
spirit user techniques and abilities as time goes on, where
spirit users develop a natural talent for utilizing their spirit
energy. Not only do they gain the affinity to learn new
abilities, but they will also gain affinities depending on their
spirit energy as well which can let them gain certain other
affinities. For example, a death wraith would gain a
shadow-based spirit energy affinity that would not only let them
use their spirit energy, but they would naturally be able to
learn to use the shadow part of their spirit energy effectively.
Another example may include dragons who can use their affinity
for whatever elemental spirit they possess (Such as a fire
dragon will have a draconic fire spirit energy affinity). This
affinity applies to all spirit energy users, and they are able
to not only more easily use their spirit energy, but they can
also more easily adapt their use of spirit energy to help them
out in certain situations. Every spirit user has some kind of
spirit energy affinity depending on their spirit energy, which
they not only can use, but can train up as they learn more about
their spirit power through their spiritual attunement. For this
affinity, depending on the race, spirit users can use their
spirit affinity in different ways, in which some can even learn
other abilities depending on what their spirit power can use.
For example, death wraith Kierran Black developed his own shadow
skills using spirit energy thanks to his affinity for spirit
energy, but also his affinity for his shadow based spirit energy
to utilize it in unique ways. This is different for every spirit
user depending on what they are and what abilities they have.
However, the affinities only apply to what race they are, and
they cannot learn other spirits of races they don't have. For
example, other races cannot suddenly learn ceros of hollows due
to hollows having different spirit power than other races (but a
hollow could more easily learn ceros since they have the
affinity for hollow spirit powers).
Spirit User Energy Resistance:
~Because the users train in the spirit, and they have heavy
training in countering energies, spirit users have a resistance
to other energies. Thanks to their spirit amplification of their
physical bodies, and the defense they have, they can more easily
defend against other energy users. Depending on the spirit user,
some can gain specific resistances depending on their other
skills, making spirit users a bit more unique from spirit user
to spirit user since some may not have the same particular
resistances. Every spirit user tends to gain some form of energy
resistance, and take reduced damage from other energy types.
Their spirit energy allows them to defend against many manners
of energy type attacks, from mana to chi to ki to even things
like sage energy or nature energy. Because of this defense,
energy users that are not spirit users tend to have a much
harder time breaking a spirit user's defenses, to which spirit
users can usually overpower other forms of energy (as long as
that spirit energy isn't too much stronger than theirs. Spirit
users can counter some more stronger energies out there, as long
as their spirit is focused enough to handle it, and their spirit
energy can handle the power of the energy generated. However, it
takes energy stronger than the spirit user to overpower their
spirit energy and damage them, so many energy users have to try
other strategies to get through spirit user defenses. However,
while they do gain resistance to other energies, they never gain
resistance to other spirit energy users, and can always take
normal damage from other spirit energy users or users of
spiritual powers. For example, spirit energy used in chakra or
aura might be able to be used to do regular damage with both
energies having some spirit energy. However, the biggest thing
that surpasses this is the spirit energy of hollows and dark
spirits, which no spirit users (even hollows or dark spirits)
gain complete resistance to since this power is essentially
stronger spirit energy use that can counter normal spirit
energy. And while some may gain resistances, others may have to
sacrifice other resistances as a result. Such as a magic user
may gain resistance to mana, but might gain less resistance to
chi magic as a result.
Spirit User Combat Spirit Adaption:
~Because spirit users tune their spirits and have to train their
spirits to use their spirit energy, spirit users have all
learned a natural combat talent when it comes to training
(though some spirit users have better combat talents than
others). Almost all spirit users train in physical combat and
supernatural combat in some way, and with enough training, they
can gain an affinity for adapting in combat, whether it's
through natural talent or through hard work. Any warrior can
mention how one or the other doesn't always mean one will have
an advantage over the other, as natural talent and hard work are
often best used in combination with each other. For spirit
users, even those without natural talent learn to adapt and
modify their spirit based combat style so that they can more
easily change up their styles in combat. While this isn't an
instant process, learning from combat allows a spirit user to
practice and learn how to adapt to certain combat styles and
supernatural abilities, as well as how to apply their own spirit
energy to their combat. Just as one might expect, this leads
most spirit users to be highly capable and adaptable warriors as
a result of this training and this talent they develop to adapt
their combat for the situations they might find themselves in.
Depending on the spirit users, many often find themselves with
natural enemies, so many train to defend themselves. All spirit
users have their own ways of adapting and learning to fight. And
as they train, they show how they adapt and grow as warriors.
However, while skilled in combat, no fighter is ever perfect,
and there is always room to grow, so this never truly hits a
cap. Typically this combat depends on the spirit user and their
training, as each will come up with different ways to use this.
For example, younger spirit users will usually train hard and
get stronger, faster and more durable between battles, but older
spirit users that have been fighting for a long time often hit a
cap in how high their physical abilities can get and instead
focus on becoming more efficient fighters rather than just
trying to grow in physical stats. It is also worth noting that
depending on the spirit user, some may have more talent than
others, and some may have more talent for some aspects of
combat, while others have more talent for other aspects.
Spirit User Body, Mind and Spirit Training:
~Those who want to train in spirit energy do not do so in a
traditional sense. Those that train in spirit energy cannot
simply train their physical bodies and call it a day, as all
spirit users require specific training to utilize their spirit
energy. Those who train their spirit energy have to not only
train physically to their limit and their minds, but they also
have to push their spirit energy beyond it's limits, training
the spirit to generate more power on a consistent basis. By
combining training of the body, mind and spirit, spirit users
can develop the ability to utilize their spirit energy more
effectively, and can utilize stronger spirit energy through
training in this manner. When training, most have their own ways
of doing so, usually thanks to other spirit users or mentors who
might teach them good ways to train their spirit energy
abilities. However, while things like meditation can help train
to some extent, the true training comes from using spirit energy
and pushing that power beyond it's limits to train the spirit to
use stronger spirit energy. Just as those like ki users have to
push their body to produce more ki, spirit users also have to
push their spirit to build more spirit energy. There are many
ways to do this, but those who train in spirit energy have to
train harder than most people who use typical energy do in order
to grow as spirit users. This may not be a problem for some who
have high levels of spirit, but those that do not have stronger
spirits have to train much more harshly, making this a good path
of training for those that want to become powerful. However, it
is difficult in the beginning for those that don't have as much
affinity for spiritual abilities, and even some stronger spirit
users can have trouble with controlling their spirit energy.
Since most people do start small in training, massive training
is often necessary at some point to be able to use spirit energy
at all, let alone grow. Some don't like the sheer amount of work
people need to put into this training, but some use it for just
that purpose, as some feel that training the spirit and the body
can help them grow as warriors.
Spirit User Multi-Linguists/Language Learning:
~Depending on the spirit user, there are many that often travel
the world, or may learn other languages to interact with others.
In addition, many spirit users have been around for a very long
time and have had time to travel the world. Some older spirit
users may even know certain out of date dead languages
(languages with no new words being added and aren't spoken
anymore), with some even being familiar with certain older
languages that most wouldn't know. However, the time they have
spent fighting supernaturals may also lead them to learning
certain other languages with uses beyond speaking, such as
learning Enochian to learn more about how to counter angels, or
learning Hebrew to learn more about fallen angels and demons and
how to counter them. Of course, that's not to also mention the
fact that many spirit users have at least a few spoken languages
they have to learn, with English, Spanish, and French being
among the most common language families for them to learn. And
for older spirit users who learn more languages, many can
develop an affinity for learning new languages, to which they
can learn new languages more easily once they have begun to
study how languages are formed. It is also easier to learn a
language if one is familiar with the language tree, such as
Spanish and Portuguese being very similar languages due to being
in the same language tree (though some might find the similarity
between similar languages a bit too difficult to learn at
times). Overall, spirit users often have multiple languages,
whether it's for learning about supernaturals, or just learning
it to be able to communicate with other people who speak other
languages. Regardless of the initial reason, most spirit users
know at least a few languages, and have an affinity for learning
new languages due to having to learn multiple languages that
they learn to pick up on other languages much more easily. Of
course, younger spirit users may or may not know multiple
languages, and this may just depend on the spirit user in
general.
Spirit User Enhanced Life Span:
~Depending on the race, spirit users typically live far longer
than normal humans. While there are races that do live a lot
longer, like say death wraiths living to almost a million years,
even human spirit users develop an enhanced life span. It is
believed to be due to the fact that spirit energy tends to have
a bit of a restorative effect on aging, as some older beings who
use spirit energy techniques have temporarily gone back into
their prime for a short time. This restorative effect seems to
also be what allows spirit users to more easily heal from
injuries through training, and this helps them even counter the
effects of aging to a degree. Even among spirit users that are
human or of a race without regeneration and enhanced life spans,
many spirit users often live for hundreds of years, with the
oldest human spirit user being over 200 years old and still
living. It takes far longer for spirit users to age than most
other beings, and unlike other races with regeneration, their
life span is not about their regeneration eventually breaking
down over time like it is with many other races. Instead spirit
users often have this restorative effect until they die, and
often takes much longer for them to show signs of aging than
humans. While their lifespan may not seem much compared to
beings like angels and demons (who have an indefinite life
span), spirit users can live extremely long lives. This can even
be longer if a spirit user is of a race with regeneration, as
one might expect. However, those with regeneration and this
restorative effect may live even longer than their normal life
span, due to this effect being something that never truly goes
away unless a user stops using spirit energy and stops focusing
it through training. However, this doesn't mean that spirit
users still can't be killed by normal means, as spirit users
usually can be killed by whatever kills their particular race
(IE human could be killed like any other human). This mostly
only applies to their natural aging, not being killed in battle
or dying as result of some sort of accident. This also may not
help them with certain illnesses, which can still kill them if
the illness can overpower their restoration and/or regeneration.
Supernatural Telepathy:
~This ability lets a supernatural creature communicate
telepathically with anyone they can connect to. Typically this
power uses their supernatural power, in which they use it to
tune to a person if they know where they are in order to
communicate with them. This lets them communicate with other
people without having to speak, with them being able to share
thoughts directly with others when the creature isn't speaking
out loud. However, usually the creature has to know where the
person is to use this basic telepathy since they have to know
where to send their thoughts and communication. However, this
doesn't apply to those who establish permanent connections (as
this allows those with permanent connections to always be able
to communicate with someone they have this permanent connection
with), such as connecting to other family members and close
friends. This lets creatures not only communicate with those
they have a permanent connect with, but can also tell them where
they are at any time should they require to find them or need to
be summoned to them (which some supernaturals can learn to
summon those that they have special connections with). Those who
are set up with permanent connections have to accept the
connection, and even then, they can sever it if they choose to.
However, there are ways to block telepathic communications, such
as certain frequencies that may confuse the mind's ability to
process telepathy, or certain wards that might prevent
telepathy. There are also certain types of opponents who can
listen in on communication done telepathically (it is rare, but
sometimes it does happen sometimes with certain psychic
opponents). For spirit users, they are also able to learn this,
but their method is slightly different. For spirit users, they
use their spirits to communicate with others, rather than their
minds. this works the same in operation, but is more just a
unique way of using this skill.
Spirit User Enhanced Intelligence, Memory and Reflexes:
~Depending on the spirit user, most spirit users have enhanced
minds thanks to their supernatural power. The first thing that
is enhanced is their intelligence, in which some spirit users
gain certain intelligence boosts depending on what kind of
creature they are and what supernatural power they possess. This
has a few uses, such as allowing a spirit user to more easily
learn information, or might help spirit users develop strategies
for certain situations. Depending on the spirit user, some might
gain stronger intelligence than others, and depending on the
race, they may have ways to utilize this. The second enhancement
is to the spirit user's memory, where spirit users typically
have very good memory thanks to their spiritual enhancement of
the mind and the focus they do in meditation. Many spirit users
have a hard time forgetting things, and some smarter spirit
users may even have a photographic memory or eidetic memory. The
last enhancement that spirit users gain is the enhancement of
their reflexes, which allows them to react much faster than most
creatures can due to many spirit users often having a major
talent and end up training specifically for combat. Depending on
the spirit user and the training some spirit users are able to
utilize their enhanced reflexes to react far more quickly, with
older and more experienced spirit users sometimes even learning
to train their reflexes to allow them to dodge attacks without
thinking, a highly advanced combat skill among supernaturals and
even martial artists. Typically, all of these enhancements work
in unison, and depending on the spirit user, the balance of
enhancements may be different depending on the specific spirit
user, and their natural abilities (such as smarter spirit users
might gain better intelligence, but more combat-based spirit
users could gain stronger reflexes). Typically, most spirit
users are either balanced with a slight increase to all their
enhanced mind stats, or they can specialize in specific stats
for higher stats, but this usually means lesser stats in certain
other aspects as a result (Like an enhanced intelligence and
reflexes might have poor memory).
Spirit User Enhanced Senses:
~Depending on the spirit user, most spirit users developed
enhanced senses thanks to their training (though how enhanced
and what senses they develop may depend on the race they are).
Depending on the race, some spirit users may develop extra
senses as well, such as how werecreatures are able to see in the
dark as though it were light out, and are able to operate even
in complete darkness thanks to their supernatural vision. Some
spirit users may have varying degrees of sense enhancement,
since this may have a unique balance of senses that is different
between each spirit user. However, this isn't just about new
senses, but spirit users also can gain enhanced normal senses as
well. For example, spirit users may gain enhanced sight, where
their sight can become enhanced to see more effectively or see
farther than others. Enhanced hearing may allow a spirit user to
hear things from further away than others can normally. Enhanced
smell can allow a spirit user to smell things that normal people
would miss, though their sense of smell may or may not compare
to certain supernaturals like werewolves (depending on what race
the user is). And enhanced touch can allow a user to more easily
use their sense of touch to detect things that might come into
contact with them, or can allow them to feel things around them
more effectively than other races. This depends mostly on the
spirit user, and partially what race they are. However, while
most spirit users do gain enhanced senses, some with more
enhanced senses can be overwhelmed by certain things, such as
enhanced sight could be overwhelmed by a flashbang, or a strong
sense of smell could be overwhelmed with a strong enough smell.
This depends on the user and their senses, but most spirit users
can be overwhelmed in their senses in some way if their senses
are enhanced enough. Some that are more balanced in their senses
may not be as easy to overwhelm if their senses are not strong
enough to be, but this comes with the drawback of not having the
same enhanced senses. And other enhanced senses still have the
same weaknesses (IE Darkvision being overwhelmed by intense
light).
Spirit User Spirit Sense:
~This is a unique spirit sense that is specific to spirit users.
This allows a spirit user to read any spiritual energy in an
area. This is often used in two major ways. The first is that a
user uses this to get a general sense of their surroundings and
anyone or anything with spirit energy around them. In the world,
everything (even objects) have spirit energy, so this acts like
a sense for almost everything around the spirit user (though
some may not be able to sense the spirits of objects depending
on their skill level with this). This is more of a general
sense, and done to allow one to get a sense of an area more than
trying to read an opponent. However, this does read a person's
spirit energy and allow a user to read how much spirit energy
one has, as well as sense what they are based on the presence
they give off (assuming they are not a creature that has a
suppressed presence). The second way of using this is far more
specific. Instead of focusing on an area, a spirit user instead
uses this sense to focus in on one spirit in particular, in
which they tune their senses specifically to that spiritual
presence. Not only can they sense the person's presence to tell
what they are and how much spirit energy they have, but this
also allows a spirit user to read his opponents to some degree,
in which some spirits can use this to predict opponents if they
are skilled enough with using this skill. Unlike other senses,
this power takes effort and time to learn, so spirit users have
to train at using this. Users that use this may require time and
concentration when starting out, and even advanced users have to
focus more in order to use it on a specific person, which could
leave them open to counterattack by others that the hollow isn't
focused on. Another thing to note is that when a spirit user
opens up this sense, it opens them up to the spirit plane, which
can also be a bad thing due to the fact that it is usually at
this point in their training where they may be attacked by
things like hollows and dark spirits who may come after them. In
the words of London Qrow Darkfire: Once you see them (dark
spirits), they see you. This is words to live by for spirit
users, and spirit users have to be careful.
Inner Spirit/Inner World Sense/Protection:
~Like soul reapers are specifically trained to do, spirit energy
users are able to focus inward in order to go into their
spirit/mind's inner world. This is similar to how soul reapers,
arrancars and even the Darkfires use this art, in which they are
able to use this to control their minds completely by learning
to control their inner world. This goes by many names, where
different races will call this different things. Among names
this goes by is one's "inner world," "inner spirit," and "the
mind's landscape." Spirit users learn, much like some other
races, how to control this mental landscape, and learn how this
landscape will reflect the state of their mind. This includes
being able to do things like being able to suppress certain
parts of the mind, as well as being able to emit certain
emotions despite not actually feeling them. This depends
partially on the race, as some races have unique methods of
doing this. However, by changing the mental landscape, one is
often able to reflect their mind in their inner spirit, where
spirit users can usually use this to either control their minds.
Most who use this art to control their emotions are able to fool
even those with psychic abilities, in which they can control
what psychic people are able to read, and can even use that to
their advantage (though this is usually among more advanced
users of this skill, and most basic users are still vulnerable
to this). However, another use of this is among races with soul
bound items or spirits that may lie in their spirit (the most
common examples being death wraith soul swords and soul reaper
zanpakutos), where users have to learn to go into their inner
world in order to awaken what may lie in them. However, not all
spirit users have things that lie in their spirit, as this
depends more on the race. However, all spirit users can use this
to some degree to control their minds, as they often learn to
control this inner world through meditation and learn to control
this mindscape through focus (as spirit users use meditation in
some form to focus, which allows them to develop a use of this
skill).
Spirit User Supernatural and Combat Trained Enhanced Physical
Stats:
~Zoe is a balanced fighter who is able to defend herself and go
up against many opponents from metahumans to even dangerous
hybrids such as demigods, which makes sense due to her
originally being from the Olympus universe. She is also
dangerous due to her learning Darkfire abilities despite her
being a human. Just like other spirit users, Zoe is a formidable
opponent in the spirit plane like she is in the physical plane.
Although she is a balanced fighter, those with immense speed or
strength can give Zoe a hard time, especially if she's not
careful.
Weaknesses:
Spirit energy users still have race weaknesses of whatever they
are. Every race spirit user still has their races particular
weaknesses, as spirit users are still whatever race they are at
their core. While some races may be harder to kill than others
(such as angels and demons often being able to regenerate from
their bodies being mostly destroyed), all races have some form
of weaknesses. For many races, many races can usually be killed
by destroying the heart or brain of the user, or some races may
be able to be killed more easily by beheading. While spirit
users can heal injuries using spirit healing, and do have faster
healing than normal humans, spirit users can still be killed
like any other mortal creature. And depending on the race, some
races may have other weaknesses, such as death wraiths have a
weakness to blessed sea salt and iron. And typically, spirit
user's spirit energy may be able to be countered more easily by
iron, due to iron being useful for dispelling spiritual power.
All races have some weaknesses, and even with regeneration,
there are ways around regeneration. While spirit user
accelerated healing is not weak to varanium or other
regeneration negation abilities, those races with regeneration
can still have their regeneration negated by whatever
regeneration negation items or abilities that might be used on
them. While spirit users are strong usually, they still take
damage based on the type of creature they are, and their
physical stats can only help them so much in battle. One major
weakness though that spirit users often have is that they can
more easily be killed by other spiritual powers, in which
creatures like hollows and dark spirits may be able to more
easily kill spirit users since spirit users are more vulnerable
to spirit power. As this is hard to quantify for each race,
players should list whatever weaknesses their character has
depending on what race they are.
Spirit energy users have a harder time training spirit energy
than most other energy users, due to spirit energy requiring
more intense training. This is due to the fact that they have to
push their bodies, spirits and minds to the limit, which usually
means pushing far beyond what most training regiments will go
for. As such, this training may be effective, but it is much
harder to keep up with than most other training for other
energies. Spirit users are able to grow just like typical
fighters and get stronger as time goes on, but their training is
still very hard on them and requires constant training to keep
their spiritual power (a lack of training and focusing spirit
power may result in the spirit user losing their enhanced spirit
user skills). Those who are just starting out, or don't have as
much experience, tend to not be able to draw on as much power
unless they have a naturally strong spirit aura, while elders
tend to be able to have access to stronger and more abundant
spirit energy, but often times, by the times they reach this
stage, they are often old and their bodies don't always keep up
with their spirits. And depending on the spirit, each spirit may
require different training. For example, stronger spirit
presences may have much more spirit energy, but will be much
harder to control than those spirit users without strong
spiritual energy. And with weaker spirit users, they may not
have as strong spirit energy which will require more focus and
concentration to use stronger spirit energy (but weaker spirit
users don't have to worry about losing control of their spirit
usually). And depending on the race, some spirits may be easier
or harder to train, such as some races that use spirit energy
naturally (like soul reapers or hollows) may be able to learn
this more effectively than races that may not be able to use
this naturally. There is no real way to circumvent the amount of
work one has to put into their training, and some may enjoy the
intense training, while others may be discouraged by how much
training it may take to keep up their power.
Spirit energy users might take spiritual damage instead of
physical damage if they over-strain their spirit. For the most
part, spirits are much more durable than bodies due to the soul
being eternal (under most circumstances), but that doesn't mean
the spirit is invincible. Those who over-strain their spirit too
much may do irreparable damage to their spirit, damaging their
ability to use spirit energy. And if a user has their spirit
energy turned back on them or has other spirit energy used on
them, it is possible that one can do spirit energy damage rather
than physical damage. This means that control is typically
required for most spirit users, as if they continue to draw
power even after not having any, they can do damage to
themselves, a mistake some newer spirit energy users tend to
fall into as they think they can push their spirit further than
they might think (spirit users can push their spirits beyond
their limits, but there is a limit they can hit where anymore
strain will cause damage to their spirit). This also means that
it is important to know the limits of one's own spirit and not
push too far beyond it to the point that it damages the body and
spirit. Just like some other energies, drawing too much could
risk killing the user, another danger of overuse of spirit
energy. It's bad enough that trying to draw too much spirit
energy can damage a user's spirit, but if one still continues to
push beyond that point that they take spiritual damage, they can
actually kill themselves if they take the energy that binds
their soul to their bodies, in which they can accidentally
permanently separate their souls from their bodies, which can
result in either death, or the soul being unable to return to
the body and the body running around without a soul, which is
often never a good thing. This usually requires pushing far
beyond one's limits, something most people would be aware of by
this point if they are out of energy, but this typically is
similar to when other energy users start drawing on their vital
life force, in which they shorten their lives or even die if
their life forces are reduced to absolute zero.
There are two parts of the spirit that must be protected by
spirit users. The first is known as the Chain of Fate. When a
spirit user separates from their body (usually in astral
projection), a user is tied to their body through what is known
as the Chain of Fate, that acts like an anchor. Whether or not
this is visible is dependent on the race, and some can learn to
hide their chain of fate (where it won't be able to be attacked
unless one attacks the source of the Chain of Fate. This chain
connects to where the chest would be in the spirit form, and if
severed, a spirit cannot return to their body. However, while
this is instant death usually for the body if this is severed
(meaning spirit users have to be very careful when in astral
projection against anything that can sever their Chain of Fate),
the biggest problem comes after the chain is severed. If the
Chain of Fate is severed, the chain will rot away and the user
will become a hollow if they don't go to the afterlife before
their chain is fully degraded and melts away (a process that
takes some time, but is a danger to any spirit that is in the
living world and isn't alive). This particular part of the
spirit usually cannot be attacked when a spirit user is in their
physical body, but some spiritual opponents can attack this
without attacking physically (such as hollows and soul reapers
are trained to attack this specifically. As mentioned, severing
the soul chain separates the body from the spirit, and can kill
the body if the user cannot find a way to return to their
bodies. It is very rare for a spirit to return to the body after
their Chain of Fate is severed, and the only known way to avoid
this fate is either to become a hollow, or become a soul reaper
if one has the potential to become a soul reaper. Luckily, there
are very few that know that this is a problem, but spiritual
opponents like hollows and dark spirits are fully aware of this
and may seek to attack a spirit user's chain of fate
specifically. This means that spirit users have to learn to
defend that part of their spirit or risk death. However,
thankfully, it is very hard to sever a chain of fate, and
usually this only happens at the moment of physical death. This
does work differently depending on the race though, such as
hollows don't have a chain of fate due to theirs rotting away
(meaning they don't have this problem), and creatures like soul
reapers chain of fates change due to them being spiritual
beings.
The second part of the spirit to note is just as important for
one simple reason: All spirit energy is generated by a certain
part of the soul, known as the Soul Chain. This is a part of the
soul that generates spiritual energy, and interacts with the
body (though it is not usually visible). If enough damage is
done to this part of the soul, the user will not be able to
generate soul energy temporarily or permanently depending on how
bad the damage is done. This means that this part of the soul is
something that every spirit user must protect or they could risk
being made to lose their spirit power completely. To destroy the
soul chain permanently is difficult, but with enough power and
energy, it can be done. This means that this is typically the
greatest weakness in most spirit users, and they must make sure
that opponents do not do too much damage to this part of the
soul lest they lose their ability to generate spirit energy. If
permanently severed, there is typically no recovery, with the
only known cases of spirit energy recovery being one having
hidden spirit power that they have yet to unlock in which
unlocking can restore the spirit chain. However no amount of
soul healing or spirit fixing up can heal the spirit chain once
it is permanently severed (with the one exception of hidden
spirit power sometimes working to restore this, but it is rare).
Typically almost all races have only one spirit chain, and it is
almost unheard of for anyone to have two and impossible to have
more than two. Thankfully, this part of the soul is not visible,
so it is much harder to attack than a Chain of Fate. Typically,
those that have lost their soul chain are not in danger of
becoming a hollow, but they do stop generating spirit energy
which weakens them severely both physically and spiritually, and
may lead to death if the body can't handle the loss of spirit
energy in the body. While some spirit users can survive the lose
of their soul chain, they do lose all their spirit power in the
process of losing their soul chain. While there may be ways to
regain the spirit chain, there are no really known ways to
restore it consistently. And this may work differently depending
on the race, such as soul reapers and arrancars may become human
souls once they lose their soul chain.
Just like all energy users, spirit energy can only be used if
there is spirit energy to draw from. Once a user runs out, their
spirit energy abilities will not be usable until they have
recovered their spirit energy (which may take varying amounts of
time depending on the user and how depleted their spirit energy
is. And as stated, trying to use them after running out of
spirit energy can be very disastrous. This is as much a problem
for spirit users as any other spirit user, where once they run
out, they won't be able to attack. And if still in a battle with
something like a hollow or a dark spirit, this can be a very bad
thing since spirit energy is what allows spirit users to attack
hollows and dark spirits. So spirit users have to manage their
spirit energy and be careful how much they use, or they could
end up in dangerous situations if they run out. And when they
run out, they lose their spirit amplification abilities, as well
as their body and spirit being more vulnerable to attack.
Another thing to note is that unlike other energy types, spirit
users' spirit energy may be limited by the size of their body,
or those with larger bodies may be able to release stronger
spirit energy (not always the case though). Smaller opponents
are not able to put out more spirit energy at once than someone
who is much larger, with certain exceptions. While this doesn't
make those with bigger bodies tougher, it does mean that those
with smaller bodies tend to not being able put out as much
energy quite as quickly as larger bodies can. This also means
that larger bodies are also able to generate more spirit energy
than those of smaller statures. Typically, there are exceptions
to this, such as those born with natural strong spirit energy
may be able to generate stronger spirit despite being smaller
statures. Usually, those with smaller statures usually rely more
on focus and concentration to fight those with stronger spirit,
whereas those with larger statures may focus more on raw spirit
power. Of course, this is before taking into account the spirit
user's race, which some races may have stronger spirits than
others.
Typically, spirit energy is counter-able like other energies,
with other energies like chi and mana being able to counter like
one would expect. There are many energies out there, and many
energy types can counter spirit energy. While spirit users are
able to counter energy users more easily, such as countering
things like mana and chi more easily, strong enough energies can
still overpower a spirit user's energy. However, with those
energies, it does take more to overpower a spirit user than it
normally would thanks to a spirit user's resistance to energy.
Normally, it takes other energies that are not spiritual in
nature much more to counter spirit energy. There is another way
counter spirit energy, and that is with other spirit energies.
Spirit energy is more easily able to counter other spirit
energy, as spirit energy is meant to interact and intersect on a
spiritual plane. This leads to spirit energy of other creatures
usually being great at countering spirit energy of spirit users,
and the only requirement is that the spirit energy has to be as
strong or stronger than the spirit user's energy. However, it
doesn't have to be energy that can counter spirit power, or it
doesn't have to be other spirit power that counters spirit
energy, but those with enough raw physical power can actually
overpower the energy of spirit users. There have been stronger
spirit users that have immense raw physical power that have
overpowered energy attacks, with one of the more known examples
being Toguro, the human turned demon who is known for his raw
strength that has allowed him to overpower extremely strong
spirit power without needing his own spirit energy. In this
manner, raw strength can overcome spirit energy if the person
with enough strength can overpower the energy, as well as the
effects of the energy (which is different depending on the race
and the spirit energy used). And as one might imagine, aura
breaker items and weapons are also able to dispel spirit energy
like any other energy, with the only exception being any
spiritual techniques that might solidify their spirit energy
into solid form (which there are rare unique skills that can do
that, but this must be stated by players). Aura breaker weapons
and abilities are a great way to take on any energy user, and
this includes spirit users.
Due to many spirit users having enhanced spirits, spirit users
have a number of creatures that end up attracted to them as a
result of their enhanced spirits. Among physical beings that
hunt them down are soul eaters, who may seek out spirit users
for their enhanced and more powerful spirit to grant them more
power. Soul eaters are a very common threat, as there are some
that specifically hunt down spirit users. However, the most
common threat to a spirit user are dark spirits and hollows, as
well as other evil spirits from the spirit plane. When a spirit
user gains the ability to see the spirit plane, it is like
opening a door to that plane. While the spirit user can see the
spirit plane and interact with it, other spirits can also
interact with the user. Because of this, training often leads to
spirit users being attacked by dark spirits and hollows, enough
that spirit users have to learn specifically how to fight them.
For dark spirits, spirit users don't need spirit purification to
destroy a dark spirit thanks to their ability to attack on the
spiritual plane, but that doesn't mean that dark spirits can't
also counter spirit users in return. Dark spirits have plenty of
their own abilities as dark spirits that can counter spirit
users, and dark spirits are a major enemy that spirit users
contend with. For hollows, hollows will devour any souls they
get a hold of, but many will often go after stronger souls
because stronger souls are usually more satisfying when it comes
to their hunger for souls. Spirit users can also attack hollows
on a spiritual level, but they cannot purify hollows after
beating them, nor can they completely destroy hollows on their
own unless they have a power that lets them do so (such as soul
reapers or death wraiths have ways to purify souls after beating
hollows). For the most part, these particular dangers are the
biggest dangers of being a spirit user besides enemies they make
during the course of their life. As it has been put: Once you
see the spirit plane, the spirit plane sees you. Spirit users
have to remember this, as this will shape their lives as they
learn to use their spirit energy.
Zoe is still mortal so she can die just like any other human,
though she's just a little tougher to kill. Zoe can get
migraines if she overuse her lightning powers. Power negation
abilities and/or tech can render her powers useless to the point
of her just being an enhanced human. Since she is a lightning
user, she is weak to water unless she uses her ice lightning
powers though earth and wind powers can counter her lightning
powers. Rubber makes her lightning powers useless. Hell's Gate
pieces can interrupt her power and do damage to her if she's too
close or if it touch her skin. Zoe has the family curse known as
the Zolnerowich Curse. It's unknown if someone put an actual
curse on them or not but trouble seem to follow the Zolnerowich
family, even when they least expect it. Not all trouble magnet
curses are the same. Some have it happen every two weeks or so
while others got it every five seconds. Zoe's trouble magnet
curse isn't as horrendously bad as V's or Maya's but it's pretty
bad, especially due to her being in a different world at the
moment. The best she can do about this curse is to not let her
guard down, even if she's asleep.
Transformation(s):
Full Power Spirit Release: Spirit Lightning:
~Arrancars, soul reapers, and certain vampires like the
Darkfires use this kind of transformation without really
thinking too much about it, where they release the full power of
their spirit to reach a more powerful state. However, many don't
fully understand what this power actually is. Usually, this
state releases the full potential temporarily of the person who
uses it, where they gain enhanced physical and supernatural
stats, even sometimes gaining abilities that can only be used in
their released form. This typically depends on the user, since
each user's potential is different, and the unlocking of this is
different for each race. For example, soul reapers unlock this
through their zanpakuto's bankai, or an arrancar uses their
zanpakuto to use this by going into resurreccion form. Every
race has different ways of doing this, and many different races
have different final results (with most often being unique to
the user, making all instances of this full release form
different). Some people may even just gain a slightly enhanced
stat boost and not change much at all, while others may gain
special abilities that make them seem radically different. The
transformation is different for each person and race, making it
rare to see two of the same releases. And depending on the user,
every race may release their full power differently, so this is
hard to quantify and explain how every spirit user may learn to
release their full power. However, the one thing all releases
share in common is that they cannot be used for long, and once
the user runs of out of spirit energy, they will return to
normal. This can be used by almost any spirit user, though a
spirit user has to awaken this in their full spirit, usually by
overcoming a side of themselves they try to suppress (usually
through meditation), and after defeating that side of themselves
(usually in a mental battle), they will gain this ability. For
the most part though, these transformations usually come with
weaknesses as well, such as a fire-based transformation may be
weaker to ice and water abilities, or a larger transformed state
might make the user tankier (meaning they won't have as much
speed, but have increased strength and defense).
Zoe's released state acts like a super saiyan form but instead
of going blond, Zoe is surrounded by spirit lightning. This
released form isn't much other than just boosting her physical
stats and powers (think Killua from HxH).
Weapon(s):
Tactical Gloves:
~As a birthday gift from Revy and Walter, Zoe received tactical
fighting gloves that she can infuse her spiritual powers and
bio-electricity during combat. The gloves are made with
vibranium and varanium material, making it durable along with
being able to harm those with regeneration.
Item(s):
Suppression Ring:
~This ring was given to Zoe by London Kindron Darkfire. This
ring conceals her spirit powers to the point that it's barely
detectable. Although she can still use her spirit power, it's
still suppressed and acts as a limiter. This ring is helpful to
keep enemies such as hollows and dark spirits from finding and
harassing her.
Personality:
Zoe is mostly quiet around strangers but can warm up to those
who proves that she can trust them. She is pretty cheerful and
optimistic around her friends and family.. She doesn't get
easily scared around the supernatural like she used to when she
was younger but she is still very cautious around some people
regardless of race, especially those align with Xeles or
Phantom. Now a teenager, Zoe grew to be a strong and intelligent
person who use her wits and wisdom to defeat enemies though
she's not afraid to find help if she needs it. Zoe is a caring
person and will try to help those in need however she can,
though thanks to hanging out with the likes of Drake, Zaz, Revy,
etc., Zoe became a bit of a smartass and foul mouthed,
especially toward those who gets on her nerves. Like London
Kindron, Zoe doesn't like killing and will only do it if it's
the last resort.
Bio:
Zoe was born in a military family of metahumans as the second
and last child of Ezekiel and Natasha Zolnerowich. She used to
be by her older sister Maya's side and always look up to her and
Vendetta. She is mostly around her sister or cousin whenever
she's out in public since she's shy around people. She also know
about the world of gods and monsters since a dream demon try to
harm her but was stopped when she imagined a cave bear spirit
that kill him. Unfortunately, that animal spirit came to life in
the real world and almost killed her father. Zoe calmed the
beast down and named it Markov but shortened it to Mark. Mark
liked the name and disappeared. She doesn't use her powers
unless she really has to. Zoe ended up in this world when she
was attacked by a monster who worked for the Titans. They tried
to teleport her to their domain but Zoe ended up in the London
universe due to the timeline being damaged. In the timeline, Zoe
was lost and confused until she was abducted by a cruel vampire
woman and was held prisoner by her along with many other human
victims. She was a prisoner there for weeks until two Exiles
members named Jon Talbain and Mystique came into the horror
house and rescued her along with their friend and a few other
captured members who were still alive. She ended up in the
Hellsing manor where she met new people such as Kindron
Darkfire, Acillia Rynn-Darkfire, Raven Tepes and Twilly.
Realizing that she'll be stuck in this strange universe for a
while, Zoe was a little bummed and was questioning herself as a
human which the adults who helped her told her that her kind
doesn't deserve such cruelty and that there are some good humans
in the world. On that note, Zoe remained with the Hellsing and
Exiles members for a few years, making new friends and enemies
in the broken dimension and later on in her own world once the
crisis was fixed. A few years ago, Zoe, Tarlin and Twilly were
attacked by a group of consumer dark spirits, though they were
saved by Zaz and Allegra. Later on, both Zaz and Jon agreed to
have London Kindron Darkfire create a suppression ring for Zoe
due to her increasing powers. She was then later on trained by
Zaz along with a few Exiles members such as Jon and Revy to help
her better maintain and hone her powers.
