Monser Energy Gains [Igen Upgrade]
Sat May 27, 2023 12:51 am
UPGRADE INCOMING
I. Upgrade Information
» Character Name: Igendai Gyakusuma
» Character Application: https://www.platinumhearts.net/t23085-spirit-class-7-hazard-e-igendai-gyakusuma#158101
» Upgrade Details:
Spirit Class: 7 -> 5
Racial Abilities:
Shunkō (瞬閧, Flash War Cry):
Igen has developed his very own version of this technique. By circulating Kido through and around his body, he is capable of armoring his body and augmenting his strikes with explosive bursts of Reiryoku.
Igen’s innate Shunkō element is Ice, and while the Shunko itself manifests as billowing plumes of deep pink Reiryoku which can be mistaken for flames, these bursts of energy rapidly drop temperatures and can erupt into massive bursts of ice.
Because of Igen’s incredibly low-profile Shikai and lacking expenditure of energy toward the use of his Zanpaku’to constantly, rather it is Shunko that represents Igen’s ability to boost his capabilities. Relying on the Ability in order to generate the sort of explosive boost in capabilities that befits a Shinigami, giving a boost similar to Bankai scaling with Zanjutsu off an average between Hakuda and Kido rounding up (Elite Hakuda and Advanced Kido is Elite. Master Kido and Advanced Hakuda is Elite).
Zanpaku'to abilities:
- Old Divine King Seal Ability:
Divine King Seal:
During combat or as needed, Igen's Shikai (The Tiger) dissolves save for it's stripes which are transferred to Igen. The marking “王” appearing somewhere on Igen's body: His hand, chest, thigh, ect. However, during combat it will begin to spread stripes along his body. These stripes mark him as royalty, and can extend up to 5 meters from his body, forming hard steel-like blades or claws along the user’s frame. These stripe blades have durability/cutting power scaling off Igen’s Zanjutsu.
This mark can instead be applied to an Ally, marking them with the "竜王" Kanji. However, this means that the Divine King Seal will not be available to Igen while that mark remains. These stripes are independently controlled by the individual they are covering.
- New Divine King Yin Seal Ability:
Divine King Yin Seal:
During combat or as needed, Igen's Shikai (The Tiger) dissolves save for it's stripes which are transferred to Igen. The marking “王” appearing somewhere on Igen's body: His hand, chest, thigh, ect. However, during combat it will begin to spread stripes along his body. These stripes mark him as royalty, and can extend up to 15 meters from his body, f forming hard steel-like blades or claws among other forms along the user’s frame. . These stripe blades have durability/cutting power scaling off Igen’s Zanjutsu. The stripes however, are not an absolute defense and while they are exceptionally good at fending off melee attacks, they are still, by nature: stripes. IN their general configuration they leave gaps and while the stripes can move to intercept, nonphysical attacks such as beam hits and explosions can damage around the stripes themselves. While the stripes can be consolidated to fill in the gaps, that will leave other areas of his body unprotected. At most, the stripes can only protect 40% of Igen's body completely.
This dark mark represents the Yin to Igen's soul. The dark borders which separate himself from his surroundings. Firm definitions and markings which both protect himself and his kingdom, as well as claim territory as his own by extending past himself. This Seal is that of Claimed Territory and his Authority over himself and his Possessions.
This mark can instead be applied to an Ally, marking them with the "竜王" Kanji. Up to 2 allies can be marked in this way without losing the ability to keep his own stripes.
» Supporting Material:
Igendai has long since had the skills to pay the bills. Both incredibly High Zanjutsu as well as Hakuda/Kido, but the general lack of experience and newness to these abilities held him back from having a fully mature Shikai, or from properly developing Shunko. But having had the time to grow and fight and push his own abilities, as well as bond with his Zanpaku'to, Igen has demonstrated extensive use of both his Constant Shikai, his Numerous endeavors to learn Shunko, and a general pattern of personal growth.

I. Hazard Rating Information
» Power: C
» Influence: C
» Resources: C
» In-Character Summary:
Igen has grown CONSIDERABLY as a person as well as a member of the Gotei. Having secured his position as Co-third Seat of the First Division and having experienced a considerable personal growth as a shinigami, he has become if nothing else: Fairly hazardous.

Rather than have a sliding scale, let's just have the power boost be comparable to Advanced Zanjutsu. So 500%.
Does Igen control the creation and manipulation of these tattoos into swords once they are placed on others? Is this something that he can do effortlessly? Can he shoot out multiple at once, and how do they impact the character's balance?
15 metres is a long range to shoot out swords from, especially if this mark can be put on three people and cause blades to emit from any direction. My immediate comparison would be Gin's Shikai, which might well be longer but is still reliant on him generally aiming the sword before causing it to shoot out.
Igen's Shikai is already both diverse and powerful, this ability would put it well beyond that scope and into a level where I find it hard to justify it as a Shikai. Whilst I can see a theme in the conceptual use of seals, the nature of this ability compared to Divine King is quite drastically different.
As written, this ability cannot be approved and should be removed from this upgrade.

Shunko:
Now scales off Bankai/Zanjutsu.
Yin Seal:
More adequately explains the weakness in the stripes protective abilities.
Yang Vessel:
After consideration, I concede that the concept is a bit removed from Igen's theme. As such, instead, the Yang portion of his Shikai will instead outline an existing ability of the Zanpaku'to. Back to the ol Tiger ally.

After further consideration, Yang Vessel has been removed as a Shikai ability.

[adm]Shunko and Updated Zanpakuto approved. Unfortunately, with the evidence provided, I cannot justify an SC bump at this time.
