THE DARKNESS WITHIN~ Mayu's Zan

Name: Kuro-jin Kage

Manifestation:

Release Phrase: "Drown the World in Darkness, Kuro-jin "

Family: Shadow/Dark

Level: Bankai

Sealed Zanpaktou:

Shikai:

As a forenote, Mayu's shadow abilities cannot be overridden by other shadow users, only combatted. Mayu's abilities do come from light, but they can also come from dark. Meaning that yes, she can use the shadows created by the light, but at night or even during the day she can use darkness as an entity to do her bidding. Based solely off her/her zanpaktou's reiatsu and the shadow/darkness available or created. Darkness, can also be meant to mean "evil". So a character with a dark disposition would be a source of "darkness" for Mayu. Though no adverse affects would befall them, though maybe a slight change in personality. Darkness is corrupting, and if hit by this a "good" character could suffer a change in personality as well. However this creates a looping cycle of drawing darkness and currpting with it, so Mayu sometimes will do neither, or only one.

Shikai Ability:
Shadowmancracy-allows Mayu to use any shadows in the vicinity to create dense physical realities that can conform to anyshape Yuki wants(i.e she could make a couple dragons or people), or that can be used as weaponry(i.e the shadows pop up from the ground in a spiked form to try and impale) and that cant be hurt by physical attacks, but kido or any other reiatsu based attack works fine. The weaponry part can be deflected using physical attacks. Also her best time of day for a fight is dusk or dawn where as the worst would be noon.

[Shikai/Bankai:Tech 1] Shadow Dragon Wave
First, it will take several post to prepair as this is a highly lethal attack. As it charges a long skinny black dragon tattoo begins to appear and work its way from Mayu's shoulder to her wrist.(Takes 3 Posts). When it fully forms it will glow back and pull all the shadow and spirit particles around it. It will look like a spinning mass of black spirit energy around Mayu's arm. Then Mayu says "black shadow wave" and punch at the opponite. The attack then takes the form of a long skinny black dragon that follows the spirit energy of her opponent. When it hits it has the power to incinerate their cloths, hair, skin. It consumes then in burning shadow of the dragon.
How to counter: It would take an attack of equal or greater power to stop it (i.e. If you are a Captain level or above you can probably come up with something beleivable, anything lower will take all of your reiatsu.)

[Bankai:Tech 2]:Shadow Realm-Mayu uses any shadow even the smallest one to create a portal into the shadow realm of her spirits. The world has one large sun with tall spires that cast huge shadows. The portal cant be dodged, unless you have some magical bull shit way of detacthing your shadow, though the portals dont do any damage. In the realm of shadows Mayu's abilities are given a large boost and she can hide within any shadow there but she can maintain the realm for only a short while(5 posts).


[Shikai/BankaiTech 3]:Shadow Hopping: Mayu is able to teleport, using shadows as a medium. She is also able to teleport other objects or attacks through shadows, depending on their size. In order for objects to be teleported, it's exit point must be at least the same size of the object being teleported. Black Holes count as shadows, and Mayu can transport her shadow creatures through said portals.


Bankai Appearance: The dark blade becomes a Naginata, the shaft of the pole is red, but the blade itself has the same color scheme it did in its shikai state. Mayu's tatoos begin to glow and the Naginata , like many weapons, can be customized to fit the build of the bearer. Generally, the naginata shaft is the height of the bearer's body, with the blade mounted atop usually measuring two or three shaku (one shaku is equivalent to 11.93 inches, or 303 mm) long. Unlike most polearms, the shaft is oval in cross section to allow easy orientation of the blade, and ranges from 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters) long. The blade is curved towards the tip. Note also at the opposite end of a naginata, the ishizuki, (a metal end-cap, often spiked, which functions as a counterweight to the blade) is attached, rendering the naginata an effective weapon whichever end was put forward.

The Naginata can be used to batter, stab or hook an opponent,but due to its relatively balanced center of mass, it is often spun and turned to proscribe a large radius of reach. The curved blade makes for an effective tool for cutting due to the increased length of cutting surface. In the hands of a skilled practitioner, one 5-foot (1.5 m) tall wielder could conceivably cover and attack in 380 square feet (35 m²) of open, level ground with a 5 foot (1.5 m) shaft, 3 foot (1 m) blade, 3 foot (1 m) reach.

This particular Naginata was made so that if the end is twisted and pulled, a 3 ft wakizashi can be pulled out and used effectively, or if the middle is pulled apart and the wakizashi fitted back in with the blade showing, then two seperate blades can be fought with much like Vice-Captain Shuuhei's released zanpaktou in the series.

Mayu doesn't change much except a dark aura that surrounds her and a dark pair of wings that alow her to fly at the speed of shunpo instead of using shunpo, though the option remains open. These wings can be used for deense or offense, since being compressed reiatsu as well as darkness it can withstand a gran ray cero or cut through even Rose's tough hierro, bypassing her innate ability.


Bankai Ability: Black Shadow Hole:(2 parts) This technique gives Mayu the ability to summon Black Holes about 5 in total that each last depending on how long she wants them out. These holes will suck any substance into them, nothing survives inside a black hole, not even light. She can control the length and width of the holes, and can summon or de-summon them at will. Because Mayu is creating black holes, all the light in the area to become non-existent if all five are used, creating the ideal place for her shadows made of darkness. This part of the technique can last for 10 posts with a 20 post cooldown.

The second part of the technique enables Mayu to fire the dark substance like a cero. It does not hold the same properties as a cero or a black hole, but it does do explosive damage as well as burns, physical damamge and the wave of darkness, if it hits, will temporarily blind an opponent for 3 posts. The more interesting part about this is, Mayu can also fire this like a bala, or she can change direction of the dark blast once in its originally chartered trajectory. Doing this lowers the damage of the attack by half. Mayu is able to use this part of her technique 20 times in a battle and if she uses it all up she cant use this part of the tech until the nex battle.

[Bankai Tech 4]Shadow See, Shadow Do-A deadly ability that allow Mayu to attack the users shadow, and have it affect their body. For example, if Mayu stabbed the arm of your shadow, then your body would feel the pain of the stab, and act accordingly. Or a slash. Also, Mayu can extend her shadow and use it to fight her enemy's shadow, to achive the same effect. (10 post Duration, 25 post coolddown)

[Bankai Tech 5]Kuro-jin Kageyoshi-A dark womrhole appears and the sky itself becomes pitch black. The physical maisfestation of Mayus zanpaktou is summoned to fight alongside her. This has two parts to it. The first part is the human form, like in the manisfestationa appearance it seems to be a young man, with black horns coming out of his head. While invulnerable to physical attacks, he has almost no defense against reiatsu based attacks and can be "destroyed" until Mayu is able to summon him again. (6 posts later). Kuro-jin wields a a dark energy bow and arrow and can use Mayu's abilities at half strength.

The second part involves the tatoos on Mayu's body. They become pitch black and a dark smog seems to rise from the markings. They flow into Kuro-jin and he begins to grow. He transforms into a a great black dragon, hwith high physical and reiatsu defense, it is as large as Komamura's bankai, however, its very presence sucks away all the light in the area until it is reasealed. It fires charged, cero like blasts that incinerate and corrupt anything it hits. If the darkness hits any part of the body it begins to spread like a disease and within 3 posts the enemy is consumed by darkness. If the darkness consumes you, then you die. Kuro-jin remains in this form for 10 posts, but after this he is done for the rest of the battle.

Approved, though question, can the ice be remvoed off the Zanpaktou after you have struck it? Or does it stay on there no matter what
