Quote:
There was a clang as the large machine was set into place, and a release of a pent up breath as the 12th Division Captain wiped the sweat from his brow. Cracking his back, Hei inhaled sharply at the pain shooting through his lower back. "I really should have gotten Tsukiko to do this for me." Musing silently, he glided across the empty Lab's linoleum floor and into the dim lit back room. Two figures faded into view, 13 feet above the floor. One of them, a white haired man with an eye patch, was sitting in an informal cross-legged position, with one arm propped up onto the adjacent knee. The other, a golden-haired woman in a snow-white dress, sat in the very formal seiza position in such a perfect manner that implied she was quite adept at this pose. The two conversed quietly for the next several moments, careful not to let anyone over hear them.
Within the hour, Hei exited the back room and looked up at the two spirits. Such a sight was not a huge surprise, as letting his spirits out was a daily ritual: however, they had never let themselves out before, so Hei was on guard. The two spirits dropped down in front of him and the man cocked an evil grin, something that was most in character for him, while the woman kept a straight face, consistent of shut eyes and pursed lips. The Captain checked the clock; it read one in the morning. "What do you two want? And since when do you let yourselves out?" Hei spat, a bit too tired for games at this hour. The twins looked to each other, and then the man palmed Hei on the face, knocking him out cold with some unknown ability. Hei didn't even have a chance to dodge, as exhaustion was already well upon him.
Two hours later, after Hei's Reiryoku vanished from the Soul Society, the twins departed from Sōkyōku Hill having imprisoned Hei with a six-layer barrier in the secret training facility created by Urahara Kisuke. Once arriving in the middle of the Seireitei, they easily dispatched the Onmitsukido that had been sent after them. The woman erected a dome of solid, burning light, that rejected Spiritual Beings, while the man materialized a black ornate scythe and pointed it at the heavens. In a deep commanding voice, he began the incantation. "Those who slumber, those who service, those who are the true masters of their power. I call upon the Spirits, to release themselves and choose who they will side with. Fuuin no Kaiihou."
When he finished, his scythe gave off a pulse identical to Hei's Dark Reiatsu. Only this time, it was something far worse. It was overwhelming and was too dense and heavy to even be considered Reiatsu, to any it would feel as though there were an ocean above the sky. And it was something that would be felt all across the Seireitei and awaken the spirits of the Shinigami's Zanpakutō. Kagezume, the man wielding the scythe, and Kagayaki, the woman in the dress, fused their Reiatsu and spread the full might of it into every nook and cranny of the Seireitei, rendering everyone within unconscious for an indeterminable amount of time. The barrier around the twins fell and Kagezume let out a dark laugh, turning to his other half. "The fun is just beginning; we shall see where their loyalties lie." Kagezume vanished on the spot, and Kagayaki followed close behind.
Basically it's a Zanpakutō vs Zanpakutō RP. You have to decide which side your Zanpakutō is on, Kagezume and Kagayaki's side (rebels) or on Ouhi-Hebi's side (defenders)-- yes that is the Commander-General's Zanpakutō, there are no neutral side Zanpakutō and all of the Shinigami are in a coma and are in the 4th division barracks.
Please state in an OOC note in your first RP post which side you are on and where you are. The rebels are situated in the Rukongai districts while the defenders are in Seiretei-- The Court of Pure Souls.
For further questions please PM either Kitsune-tono or Dante_Shadowolf, preferably Kitsune-tono. He's lying, he wants all the PM's... >_>

Kagezume and Kokoro no Kagayaki
•Kagezume (影爪, Shadow Claw) A simple, jet-black katana with a small rectangular hilt. Its elemental affinity is Darkness. In conjunction with it's _elemental affinity, the reiatsu released whenever he is using it is black and gives the feel of being dark and heavy as if it's trying to stifle the target's _existence.
__Spirit Appearance Kagezume is about a foot shorter that Hei and he has white hair and green eyes with an eye-patch over the left eye. His body is __littered with jewelry. He wears no shirt and has black gloves that go up to just below his shoulder, as well as black jeans with a belt.
___Yokuatsu no Saishuu Fuuin: Munashii (抑圧 の 最終 封印: 空しい, Final Seal of Supression: Void): A technique not acessible to Hei. It's a seal that ___permanently seals the object in question, preventing it's powers from ever being used again. It does not work on a Zanpakutō.
•Kokoro no Kagayaki (心の輝き, Radiance of the Heart) An ornate white katana with a round, golden hilt. It's a constant-release Light type. In _conjunction with its elemental affinity, the Teiatsu released whenever he is using it is pure white and is quite bright, giving the target the feel of bliss _and happiness.
__Spirit Appearance Kokoro is taller than Hei and has long golden hair and wears a white dress that stops around her knees. It supports her fair-sized __chest by wrapping around the back of her neck, leaving most of her back bare. She also wears a type of shoulder-length gloves but her hands don't __go inside at all. The fabric simply goes over the back of her hands and is held in place by a small golden ring that rests on her middle finger.
◊Shikai 1: It is triggered by the command, "Plunge the World into Eternal Darkness" (世界を永遠の闇に沈める, sekai wo eien no yami ni shizumeru) _When released, a cloud of Kuromijin flows from the tip of the black katana and hangs in the air all around Kage. To release, Kage must run the tip of _his left ring finger across the blade's shinogi. Subsequently, he must run his right ring finger across the shinogi to seal it.
__Shikai Special Ability: The creation of a substance called the Kuromijin (黒微塵, Black Particles) The Kuromijin are the 120th base element. The __atoms are solid black and are often referred to as dark particles. (They are already a base element in itself [not like fire or water, an actual element __like Hydrogen] and therefore cannot be broken down.) Given their Ecophagic nature, they feed off the Reiryoku/Reishi of objects and abilities, which __gives them their ability to seal and/or suppress abilities, making it so that they themselves cannot be attacked or altered due to their unique __structure. These dark particles generated by the black katana are capable of sealing physical and non-physical objects away in a separate __dimension. Dark particles typically reside inside the black katana itself until needed and at that point will flow out and swirl around his body or hang __in the air like mist, which they have the same consistency as.
___•Sesshōku ( 接触, Touch) The ability to touch non-physical objects by placing Kuromijin at the tips of his fingers or body part in question. This ability ____also allows him to tear apart illusions he is aware of by dispersing them into the air.
___•Sei (制, Suppression) The ability to seal a Zanpakutō by making the Kuromijin pass over the Zanpakutō in question. The Zanpakutō can be ____released once more generally 3-5 seconds later. A sub-ability of this is that he can seal off his own abilities completely by molding the Kuromijin ____around his arm as a bracelet.
___•Shōheki (牆壁, Barrier) Molds the Kuromijin into a wall that absorbs attacks by making them disappear altogether. The attacks are eaten by ____the Kuromijin and the broken down matter is flung into Kagezume's dimension where it can no longer be accessed.
___•Kumo (雲, Cloud) Uses the cloud to absorb a target. The target is eaten by the Kuromijin and the broken down matter is flung into Kagezume's ____dimension where it can no longer be accessed.
___•Kuroi Sesshōku (黒い接触, Wicked Touch) If and when he should ever touch a Spiritual Being with his left hand, their Reiryoku will immediately ____start to be disrupted, leaving them temporarily unable to use their powers. This can be overcome by dodging or wrenching themselves free if ____caught. The chances are high that there will be a follow-up attack behind the Touch.
___•Torikeshi (取り消し, Cancellation) Kage taps his foot on the ground or air, stealing the ability for anyone to use an ability within 50 feet of him
_____The separate dimension is simply referred to as Kagezume's dimension and has been given no other name so far. The dimension shuts down _____powers and abilities as well as machines. If something were to be caught in the dimension, it is irretrievable, even if someone attempts to _____summon it. This is because summoning is another type of ability. Only Kage can will things in and out of the dimension at any given time. Attempts _____to enter it would simply be thwarted by the dimension itself.
There is one single thing the Kuromijin cannot seal away/stop, but I will not be giving that away here.
◊Shikai 2: It is triggered by the command, "Become the Form of Light" (光形に成る, hikari you ni naru) When released, the white katana glows _intensely and Kagayaki's body shimmers briefly. (It DOES NOT sparkle.)
__Shikai Special Ability: Allows him to bend light as he sees fit and become light as well. His kicks and punches increase in speed exponentially.
___•Raisoku Shundō (速度瞬動, Light-Speed Instant Movement [In this case, Raisoku is a made up word that is a Portmanteau of 'Raito (ライト, Light)' and ____'Sokudo (速度, Speed]'.]) By utilizing the white side of his Zanpakutō, he is able to turn his body into light particles and achieve the speed of light, ____299,792,458 m/s (about 186,282.397 miles per second), far surpassing a Shunpo, Sonido, Hirenkyaku, or Utsusemi. It's comparable to Utsusemi ____and Gemelos Sonido due to the fact that depending on how she moves, she can create afterimages of herself. He can make several dozen, should ____she choose to do so. Given the speed, even if someone can sense her approach, they won't be able to react in time.
_____→Shundō (瞬動, Instant Movement) In this variant, only his feet become light thus making it faster, but slower than the Raisoku Shundō. It just ______barely breaks the sound barrier and is slightly faster than an Utsusemi. Though ideal for short distances, the drawback is that it can only be ______used to go forward, requiring one to stop and gain traction before changing direction. Execution of a Shundō is accompanied by a sonic boom ______and a flash of light.
___•Kōsen (光線, Light Ray) The ability to fire a beam of light from any part of the body, generally the finger or bottom of the foot. These beams also ____travel at light speed because of their light nature.
___•Yata no Kagami (八咫鏡, Eight-Span Mirror) Multi-purpose ability that is used to create mirrors out of light as well as create a thin but wide path ____of light for Kagayaki to travel on at about half of the speed of light.
___•Ama no Murakumo (天叢雲, Gathering Clouds of Heaven): Turns the white katana into light, giving it various abilities such as bending it at an ____angle and other things.
___•Yasakata no Magatama (八尺瓊曲玉, Eight Shaku Curved Jewel): Kagayaki shoots many light beams from both his hands or from his entire body. ____Unlike her Kōsen, the beams fired are more bullet-like than anything.
◊Bankai 1: Jigen wo Yugameru (次元を歪め, Warp Dimensions) A large orb that can vary in size that opens up in a space around the black katana as it _disappears and doesn't start to work until the black katana is completely gone.
__Bankai Special Ability: Anyone within its domain will find their powers obsolete. It is designed to automatically seal a Zanpakutō and suppress the __other abilities of Shinigami and Arrancar. The orb is far from being completely inescapable as it can be broken, but it would take a very powerful __force to break it. Anything short of a Cero Oscura fired from the outside with simply be absorbed into it.
All three techniques listed below are compressed forms of his Bankai and thus have no power over suppression.
___•Tenmō Kagizaki (天網鉤裂き, Heaven's Vengeance Rip) Kage takes the sheer power of the bankai and compresses it into a new blade (daikatana) ____that unleashes a massive surge of energy that rivals a Cero Oscuras in power upon swinging it. If Muma is released while the nodachi is formed, ____the power is channeled into the Tenmō, increasing in power by 1.2.
___•Muma Okori (夢魔起こり, Nightmare Genesis): Within a certain area, (roughly 1000 feet all around Kage) the darkness is sapped away and wraps ____itself around Kage, giving him semblance to a mass of dark energy in a humanoid shape. Kage then releases the darkness outwards in all ____directions, creating a dark shock wave that is capable of leveling a small town. This doesn't mean that the target is obliterated, they are just ____knocked away, similar throwing a motorcycle at a human. This technique is a precursor to Mōra Kuro Kijutsu.
____•Mōra Kuro Kijutsu (網羅黒奇術, Encompassing Black Magic): By absorbing the darkness gathered by Muma into his own body, Kage's own physical _____prowess is enhanced by a few factors. While his hair turns pure white, Kage's skin turns from pale white to jet black as he assimilates with the _____darkness. White runes draw themselves onto his skin and they show up through his clothes.
_____Suijaku (衰弱, Breakdown) the command used to cause the physical collapse of his bankai. Due to its unique power, it literally needs a command _____to seal it. Without it, the Bankai would stay active until Kage runs out of Reiryoku or he enters a near-death state.
Kagayaki's hidden power will not be revealed until a certain point in the storyline.
Walking along, looking for any clues, her electric blue eyes come across what appears to be a woman wearing little, to, if it was really,clothing.
