Name: Ikaru Kyra
Aliases/ Nicknames: Ika, The Bloody Fist
Age: 19
Rank: 2nd Quincy
Height: 6'1
Weight: 170 lbs
Personality: A relaxed, cool and calm character Ikaru will hang back and let the situation develop without worries, he's a joker though and is not to be underestimated for he posseses a keen intellect and a solid dependability and determination.
Theme Song(s): Saving Me
Physical Description: Ikaru cuts a rather odd figure for a Quincy, while most quincy are thin and pale, Ikaru is tan and well muscled, he hides his amber eyes behind his black hair occasionally, especially when embarrassed or uneasy, his face is usually set in a neutral smile that gives away almost no evidence to his real thoughts, his clothing of choice is a pair of well worn blue jeans with a black cloth belt and a long sleeved grey shirt.
Accessories: A pair of Knuckle Dusters forged of Soul Silver, they allow him to channel reishi and form mini schnieder esque "blades" onto the sides of them to form Quincy trench knives.
Seele Schneider (kon wo kirisaku mono; lit. that which slits the soul; German for "soul cutter") -- The Seele Schneider is a thin sword that can be fired similarly to an arrow. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw: the spirit particles of its blade vibrate at ultra-high frequencies, loosening the molecular bonds between any spirit matter it cuts so that the Quincy user may easily absorb the freed spirit particles. Uryū also stated that using it increased his spiritual power. The Seele Schneiders Uryū uses are stolen from a secret storage room under Karakura hospital.
Quincy Cross & Bow: Lied des Karmesinrot Falke (Song of the Crimson Hawk) When summoned it takes on the form of a basic spirit bow, with a ruddy red color.
Skills:
Quick fire
Allows Ikaru to manifest his bow with speed and ease, however the arrows fired from it right after use are weaker than regular shots, thus it is mainly a close range attack.
Martial Arts
Ikaru uses a blend of several martial arts, such as Lua Liquid Dancing and Some Capoeira Contemporânea he uses these different styles masterfully and switches between them seamlessly even in an intense fight, his abilities in this aspect are amplified by his usage of ambient Reishi in the air. He is a self taught swordsman, his style is most similar to the Liquid dance's speed and unpredicability, allowing him to deliver powerful blows to an opponents person. He incorporates this style into his wielding of the Seele Schnieder
Arrow punch
Since his abilities with the bow are limited, Ikaru has learned to transfer the power of his bow to his fists and launch a basic quincy arrow from them, they are more powerful than the arrows he usually fires due to the fact that he his concentrating them more and has less of a chance to miss than if he fired them.
Reishi Collection: The Seele Schneider's second ability is to collect reishi during combat by absorbing the opponents attacks. the more spiritual pressure and energy they release, the more powerful the Quincy wielding it becomes. It allows an opponents spirit particles to become the user's.
Sword & Arrow Functionality: Since a physical high-speed impact can be destroyed by a spiritual high-speed impact, the Seele Schneider can do more damage to someone physically strong, when they physically attack than when using a spirit-based attack, as seen in Uryū's fight against Cirucci Thunderwitch. Basically it cuts through spirit pressure impacts. The Seele Schneider makes for a powerful blade in combat, but can do even more damage as an arrow. Uryū Ishida using a Seele Schneider against Szayel Aporro Granz. Fired as an arrow, it was able to defeat a former Espada in one shot, easily piercing her soul chain, removing all of her abilities. Had it been aimed higher towards the head, without a doubt it would have been fatal. The lethality of the Seele Schneider at full power depends not on it's power, but the arrow's trajectory.
Sprenger (shupurenga; German for "Explosion", Japanese for "Ripping Grass Formation"): This technique uses five Seele Schneiders to create a pentagram-shaped seal which, when activated, causes a massive explosion within its borders. The Seele Schneiders function as accumulators, gathering the necessary amount of spirit particles to create the explosion. The liquid inside a silver tube acts as the trigger. The preparations for the technique combined with the charging time for the Seele Schneiders make its use in battle impractical unless the user has a partner that can stall to buy time. It is one of the most powerful Quincy attacks seen so far
Hirenkyaku (Flying Screen Step): The Quincy equivalent to the Shinigami Shunpo and Arrancar Sonido.
Ransōtengai (Heavenly Wild Puppet Suit)— This is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain, forming lines or strings out of countless spiritrons. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement. It was originally created to allow elderly Quincy to fight effectively.
Ginto: Small liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by Quincy for spellcasting in the same way that Shinigami use kidō. Like kidō, they are activated by calling out various commands.
Ginto Techniques:
Heizen (Sacred Bite) --This technique creates a transparent, rectangular beam of energy from silver tubes which slices through the opponent. It is activated by the command:
"Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!"
Gritz (Quintuple Restraining Frames) --This technique forms a man-sized pentagonal Quincy cross which envelops its target. It is activated by the command:
"A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Quintuple Restraining Frames!"
Wolke (Emerald Grail) --This technique uses a silver tube to create a large blast. While it may not be intended for use as such, Uryū uses it to cushion the impact of a fall. It is activated by the command:
"Tilt the goblet to the west - Emerald Grail!"
Anything Else: Loves good food, and sings surprisingly well, he is unusually relaxed for a Quincy, he also unusually mediocre when it comes to bow skills, however he makes up for this with his durability and effectivness at close range.
Bio: Ikaru was born to a proud Quincy family and was raised from birth to be a top ranked Quincy someday, however it became apparent from young childhood that the unfortunate Ikaru was less then gifted with the traditional Quincy bow and arrow set, lacking the patience to learn to use the bow properly he was instead given over to his own devices and learned to fight hand to hand, later on in life he managed to get his hands on some Knuckle dusters and prove himself amazingly proficient with them. Though many Quincy consider his style on the barbaric side none will argue that he is in his own right, a true and proven Quincy. He graduated from high school about a year ago, he spends his days wandering around Karakura and doing odd jobs, while also running the rounds around the city and making sure the Hollow level stays to a managable level, along with helping out anyone that really needs it.
