Elyss, again. (Sieghart)

» Character Name: Elyss Kishimoto
» Character Application: https://www.platinumhearts.net/t24047-elyss-kishimoto#168919

» Upgrade Details:

-- Kido from Adept to Advanced

Elyss has shown a great growth in her understanding of Kido and utilizing it in fights in her own ways, especially as she's started to manipulate Kido with her attacks to enhance them. With her knowledge of enhancing her fists already there, the dip into Kido has shown her becoming adept enough to start utlizing Shunko.

-- Durability from Master to Grandmaster

If going by just raw showcase of durability, Elyss probably takes the cake currently on site. Her knack for getting hit, getting back up, getting hit again and still getting back up is probably an example for any person to see and inspire to be like. If nothing else, this dumb redhead has proven her capability of being an immovable wall through countless fight threads that require characters of worthwhile power to show an ounce of their capabilities to even begin to crack the surface of her shell.

-- Zanjutsu from Advanced to Untrained

With the death of Tenmarin, Elyss has lost whatever she had inside her soul that acted like her Zanpakuto. Now she's been left without one, or is simply unable of hearing it after Tenmarin has been in her head for so long.

(Tenmarin died)


Rudimentary Shunko:

Forcing energy through her body, keeping it at bay with her willpower and knowledge of controlling herself, Elyss has finally unlocked the usage of Shunko. Not an expert with it as other practitioners, Elyss is only capable of enhancing her body with large amounts of energy, showcasing a unique case of overcompensation that only her body can sustain. However, when utilizing her normal Shunko, she gains a 600% boost to her abilities.

Her special quality comes from being able to increase the output of her energy by forcing it all to focus in her fists or feet. This application is only useable two times in combat threads due to Elyss lack of control, but for those two attacks, her potency doubles. The particular limb she uses it with takes a drop in durability however that does stack if used with the same body part.

Elyss' Shunko is of the fiery nature and showcases itself by Elyss' body seemingly releasing large quantities of heat and steam as her blood and energy seemingly starts boiling. However, this does give her attacks a different look than any other fiery related ability, firing them in the form of lasers which can be acquainted to the extreme heats her body seems to be reaching that.
