What Are You Upgrading?: Unlocking/Obtaining Shikai

Release: “Time to get serious.”

Shikai Description: Tsumi’s Reiatsu has been released, and has flowed forth like a river over a broken Dam. The immense amount of unique Reiatsu, coupled with DNA information of his previous life, has caused his hair to turn pitch black, with many red highlights. Along with this, he has grown wings, which were originally intended to be covered in Tsumi’s flame-attuned Reiatsu. However, due to the circumstances in which Tsumi initially transformed, he has only managed to grow the wing bones, and is permanently unable to cover them in Reiatsu. Along with this, his right hand has become a claw, that possesses the same cutting power of any sword that that hand was holding, previously. On top of this, the pigment of Tsumi’s eyes has shifted, to resemble that of an analog clock.

A Picture:

Along with this, he has lost his hidden blades, which were the sheathed form of his Zanpakutō. The unsheathed form is an actual sword (ish?). Every strike that the sword delivers deals fire-attuned damage, causing various levels of burns. (At Tier 3, it deals 1st degree burns, tier two it deals Second degree burns, and at tier 1 it delivers 3rd degree burns. At tier 0, anything the weapon strikes more than once is automatically set ablaze.) Furthermore, the blade contains a thin, 20-foot chain of blades on the bottom of the blade which, at the push of a button, can be stored inside the handle (the compartment also spans inside the hand guards).

A Picture:

Now, due to the circumstances in which Tsumi’s first transformation occurred, he is permanently trapped in his Shikai form, unable to sheathe his Zanpakutō. This condition can only be cured by obtaining Bankai.

Shikai Abilities:

Name: Wings
Type: Mobility
Description: The wing-bones that have sprouted from Tsumi’s back do NOT allow flight, however, they do allow him to glide. Also, Tsumi’s speed (running, general movement, and reaction time) is doubled.

---

Name: Arm Adaptability
Type: Offensive
Description: Whatever weapon is in Tsumi’s right hand at the time of transformation is temporarily absorbed, creating a black claw, with the sharpness and offensive capability of the absorbed weapon. The weapon is restored, once the Zanpakutō is sheathed. Furthermore, if no weapon is in Tsumi’s right hand at the time of transformation, the claw gains only the cutting power of a steel knife.

Name: Final Rest
Type: Last Resort
Description: Upon receiving a fatal wound which cannot be recovered from, the clocks in Tsumi’s eyes begin ticking, counting down 5 seconds. At the end of this period, every atom in Tsumi’s body suddenly splits, causing a nuclear explosion, which goes out for about 50 miles. Any object, living or nonliving, within a one mile radius is disintegrated instantaneously.
This is not a ‘get out clause’. If this happens, Tsumi perishes in the explosion.

Name: Burning Projectile
Type: Offensive
Description: Two swings of the sword, while Reiatsu is being focused into it, fires a black, X-shaped beam of energy. This beam behaves as if it were an actual strike from the sword, and follows all the rules/restrictions thereof.
