Spirit Description
An old yet agile wingless humanoid eagle with big and powerful talons wearing a full body black cloak in which only a portion of his beak is visible. He has a very hoarsely tone of voice that makes one respect/fear him. Although a rare sight, his talons might be seen when hes talking (while performing some hand gesture), always with a sinister green glow around it.
Shikai
Release Command: Tsukkome, Kantsuu Washi (Thrust Deep, Piercing Eagle)
Large katar, great for piercing attacks. a 1.5 feet black blade, with a dark-grey and black guard. Has various eagle like details, being the most prominent, on the arm guard. Although heavy looking, it is very light allowing for fast movements, while providing a good defense. The blade is coated by a thin layer of reiatsu, causing a green aura around it.
Shikai Abilities
Surudoi kansatsu me (Eagle Eye)
(Latent) Ryou is capable of seeing at long distances, with the out most detail. While at close range he can see the details of movements with the speed up to twice his movement stat.
Kantsuu Tsubasa (piercing wing)
A wide swing followed by a stab motion that causes a wide eagle shaped reiatsu projectile to be launched at high speed to hit the target(mid range).
Damage equals to Ryou's melee stat.
Kantsuu Tsume (piercing talons)
fast stabing thrusts with the shikai create small eagle shaped, very high speed, reiatsu projectiles in high numbers that pierce the target(close to mid range).
Damage equals to 1/10 of his melee stat, and up to 10 shards.
Strengths
Excels at close range combat.
As its very light it allows Ryou to move more freely around the battle field than most weapons would.
Due to its size and shape it can be used to block many types of attacks, and its also makes it nearly impossible to be disarmed.
Weaknesses
No long range attacks.
Due to its light weight, its very hard to cause any serious damage using slash attacks, forcing Ryou to use thrusting attacks using the weight of his own body, making his attack pattern predictable sometimes.
Also due to its shape, its has many restrictions in terms of attack angle, as Ryou can't bend his fist.
Bankai
Shinkirite Kantsuu Washi
The bankai consists on a black leather armor for the right arm and torso, with a black steel gaulet and black steel plates from shoulder to elbow(2 bigger plates on shoulder followed by 3 on the arm), capable of creating a 2 feet spirit particle green blade (spirit particles bounded by reiatsu that creates an aura, the same as the one on the shikai blade) from a front faced spike on the gaunlet.
The excess reiatsu used for the blade creates a green mist that slowly flows close to the armor. Ryou can also chose not to create the blade, so he can use Hakuda to its fullest, creating the blade only to use abilities.
Bankai Abilities
Sasurai Washi
Ryou can create a sword (like the one in his arm), at anytime in a 3 feet(~=1m) radius of his body. Cause this sword doesn't have a steady source of reiatsu (like the one on the armor) it only lasts 10 seconds, and then dissipates.
This swords always stay at the same exact distance and position relatively to Ryou (if one is created 1 foot directly in front of Ryou, it will remain 1 foot in front of him independently of how he moves).
Ryou needs to pinpoint a location (creates a string of green reiatsu into that location) before a sword is created (takes 1 millisecond to create a sword). Multiple paths and swords can be created at a single time
This swords can be re-absorved by the armor to prevent reiatsu loss (the mist from the main blade is also absorbed).
The amount that can be created depends on the amount of reiatsu stored in the armor (up to nine blades worth) and Ryou's reiatsu (limited by what his reserves of reiatsu can create).
This sword deals damage equal to Ryou's melee stat, but can take damage equal to his melee stat + his reiatsu stat, before shattering.
Shibutoi Tsubasa
A wide swing followed by a stab motion that causes a wide eagle shaped reiatsu projectile to be launched at high speed to hit the target(mid range).
The sword in the gaunlet is launched, as the beak of the eagle shaped projectile (the sword dissipates after 10 seconds or after traveling 100 meters).
Damage equals to Ryou's melee stat + his half reiatsu stat.
Strengths
Excels at close range combat. As the armor is very light it allows Ryou to move more freely around the battle field than most weapons would. Also due to its size and shape it can be used to block many types of attacks, and its form makes it impossible to be disarmed.
Sasurai Washi can be used to block some attacks, as it will never move from the place it was created on, for as long as Ryou is in range.
Also Sasurai Washi is created with such speed it can cause unaware foes to just thrust into them.
Because the armor can store the sword after they are created, Ryou can fight for extended periouds of time, with minimal reiatsu expense.
Not only that the armor is also capable of absorbing some of the reiatsu from any type of attack, that needs reiatsu, that passes close to it.
Weaknesses
No long range attacks. Due to its light weight, its very hard to cause any serious damage using slash attacks, forcing Ryou to use thrusting attacks using the weight of his own body, making his attack pattern predictable sometimes.
Due to the fact the gaunlet sword is created from the back of the wrist, its has many restrictions in terms of attack angle.
The fact that Sasurai Washi is immobile, makes it somewhat useless after it his created, as Ryou foe can move to a different point of attack.
Because of its light weigth nature, the armor can't endure too much damage, and as it breaks apart it also loses storing capacity.
Although Sasurai Washi can be created with great speed, the position where it will appear can be pinpointed by the fact that a string of reiatsu as to connect that place to the armor in order to create the sword.
Even if Sasurai Washi doesn't move independently of the force applied, they are weaker than the main sword, so they can still be destroyed after a few hits (depending if the attack type tier is equal or higher than Ryou's hakuda tier).
The swords themselves cost allot of reiatsu to create, and every time Ryou uses an ability he is forced to create a new one, thus if the armor is not capable of storing enough reiatsu, the battle wont last much longer.
