Name: Karasu :: Raven
Manifestation: Karasu looks like a wispy shadow. Translucent and fearful. Just being near him is enough to strike fear into the hearts of even a Kenpachi. Karasu's eyes are a violent golden. Slanted and "evil" they are something Nikitio stares into and gets lots. It's like looking into a pool of gold and being shown all your worst fears at one time. Like reliving all of your most fearful moments in your life. Karasu also has chains on his ankles, wrists, and an iron collar around his neck with a chain falling down the middle of his chest.
Release Phrase: Shikai:: Quoth the raven "Nevermore.", Karasu!. Bankai:: Bankai.
Family: Darkness
Level: Bankai
Sealed Zanpakuto: Looks like a normal katana. It has a golden crescent moon shaped guard, and a black handle. The blade is a cold gray color. The handle is a bit on the longer side of things, by about an inch, and the blade comes together at a point similar to that of a broad sword rather than being straight and sharpened like a katana. The tip of the sword though is still sharp enough to be used for cutting, but it can also be utilized for stabbing.
Shikai:
- Spoiler:
A double set of blades, one connected to each arm at the wrist. the blades themselves are tinged black. The blades have a special mechanism that allows them to slide forward as opposed to flicking forward like they look like they would do. They slide forward and backward and are double edged so that they can cut on either side.
Shikai Ability: His special ability in Shikai is that he is able to produce 3 humanoid shadows who seem to be able to bend in uncanny ways. They have all the skill of Nikitio, and can move independently of each other and Nikki. The Shadows can only be killed once Nikitio has been killed. They cannot be injured anywhere on their body except for their head. Once their head has been separated from their body they will enter what is called a "false" death. This is known as a false death because they only vanish for 2 posts. After that they come back.
Bankai: After Bankai is activated, Nikitio’s outfit changes drastically. Dark purple and black run diagonal, Niki’s colors run from his left down to his right. The colors location is: dark purple is on top and black is on bottom. He has two retractable blades that extend from the top of his wrists over his hands. On the black side the blade is dark purple, and on the dark purple side the blade is black. His head is bare, but he has a single visor, similar to the one he wears when he is out of Bankai form, with one side being black and the other crimson. These visors do not come off.
Bankai Ability: The bankai ability is the same as Shikai, but in Bankai there are 6 shadows. The same killing rules apply here, and they are even more deadly and skilled in Bankai. Another difference between Shikai and Bankai is that with each "false death" it takes only 1 post for them to respawn.
NOTE:: No matter the mode (Shikai or Bankai) the shadows are coated with spirit particles. These particles rotate at 4 million rotations a second in Shikai and 6 million in Bankai. The difference in rotations allows for more absorption of reiatsu attacks. Any attacks they absorb is spread through the group, including Nikitio. This "donation" to Nikki allows some of his energy to be restored. Keep in mind as well that they DO NOT have their own reiatsu signature, nor do they make sound on any land (on water, glass, crunchy bushes, so on and so on) Nikitio can also use them to see or hear. His shadows are connected to him for better or for worse.
Techniques:
Kurai Ude (DarkArm)- By channeling darkness into the ground beneath him, creates a deadly spike trap for his enemy. At any time that he chooses in battle he can activate the spikes to home in on his target to attack them from the ground, potentially stabbing them through from eight different directions with the amount of spikes that he has to use. He can only create the spikes one group at a time, he than must use the attack and than use it against the opponent before making new spikes. If the spikes hit the opponent than not only to they feel the pain of being stabbed but also a large burning sensation throughout their entire body for the next three posts.
[Duration: 1 post for the spikes, 3 for the burning sensation. Cooldown: 4 posts]
Kurai Myaku (Dark Pulse)- Utilize his power of darkness in a powerful offensive manner. After channeling a large amount of dark energy into his hand he will have his darkness take the form of a simple orb or black. Once fully charged he can throw it or ram it into his opponent as he chooses to. As it makes contact the dark energy will blast out and spread out quickly, launching anything near it far away with it's power. Also anything touched by the darkness receives a burning feeling in where they were hit for the next two posts.
[Duration: 1 posts for the attack, 2 posts for the burning feeling. Cooldown: 3 posts]
Rikugun (Army)- This technique is based upon Karasu's innate ability. In Shikai an extra 10 shadow clones are made. In Bankai there are 15 extra shadow clones made. These clones have the same weaknesses as the usual clones. They also have the same strengths.
[Duration: 5 posts. Cooldown: 6 posts]
