International Electronic Brace Network [ Finished ]

The IEBN's Introduction

Item Name: IEBN [ International Electronic Brace Network ]

Item Type: Exclusive only to Sou Yuuki.

Used For: Offensive and Defensive

Item Description: A bracelet-shaped electrical device developed under Sou's intelligence and creativity against equipments, thanks to his photographic memory to develop these sort of weapons. Under speculations of his own, the equipment that he made, the IEBN, or Intersectional Electronic Brace Network, can hold the potential to, as far as developing multi-elemental users that shinigamis can't achieve through their zanpakutos, and using the equipments he developed can forcefully create a Zanpakutō with multi-elemental use after installing it, however, it is just his speculations, as no evidence has been proven that the method may work under any means necessary.

Either way, the electrical device resembles rather greatly to Shadin's choker-like collar, named by The Accelerator, however, the style of design, functions and its placements are completely different, since this was made after Shadin's nuke against him, some of his nervous systems, and a couple of his veins is as good as fried like french fries, broken beyond repair by any known means in technology and knowledge. It was made mainly as a support for his internal parts of his body to keep him alive, otherwise, within a few hours, he'll turn into a corpse sooner or later wihout assistance. The device was made rather complex, yet small for conventional uses in both transport and in combat.

Appearance of a plain, non-stylish, dark grey in color with small white stripes at its sides and with a few visible electronic parts of the device at its outer appearance, especially the battery with a wire or two extending out of each ends of the battery, strapped tightly to his wrist with a few visible wires that is implanted directly into his wrist, each wire to his muscles, nerves and veins that transmit electrical signals directly and throughout within his body. The electricity within his body is weak enough for his mortal body to sustain, and strong enough to unleash basic electrical attacks and even create a weak electromagnetic field that wields as his temporary protection as long as his battery lasts. Interesting fact is, the electrical signals in his body cannot be manipulated by any means of how great one's electricity manipulation is, unless they have the way to get around it. His signals flicker every picoseconds, so fast that even an enhanced sense could have a great issue over manipulating to flickering electricity, as it dissapears and reappear, it cuts off the 'flow', otherwise, the connection between the manipulation and the manipulated electricity before the connection itself was even able to connect itself directly to his body's electricity to manipulate the electricity and eventually blasting his body to pieces from the inside, but that is how it works.

It was made mainly for combat and a constant protection when he is unaware of things around him, or he is just have too little time to care about the surroundings than just.. wandering around. As far as it does, it keeps his body functioning as always and allows his body to always perform at its peak, however, anything that happens to the device may result him to stay alive for a few hours or so, some time to replenish his battery back, reparing the device or at the worst, waiting for help.

The IEBN's Mechanics And Devices

Modes: The Mode, is a rather important mechanic to be built onto his device, since he needed to find a way to control the amount of power used for the device itself, the amount of signals, electricity and etc to be sent to the brain and back to the rest of his body, and this is where the mode mechanic itself shines. It is built with 3 modes, On, Safety and Off is the three modes built within the device, with three buttons on the top of the device itself for a convenient activation and deactivation. It was originally meant to be 4 modes with Override including on it, but acknowledging that the risk was too great for his mortal body to handle, it was removed from the list until any further notice.

Let's go on with the most important mode to be notified before actually knowing how its function does offensively, Safety mode is something you need to be aware of. How the mode functions is to use as little battery as possible, otherwise, it uses a little-to-no amount for the battery for how little work it needs to do. It constantly sends electrical impulses throughout his body, which replaces the electrochemical nerve impulses to the parts that are damaged severely by the previous incident by Shadin's blast from Mesosphere, which the current goes to the damaged part and provides a stimulation wihout destroying for the damaged nerves with enough voltage to it. The device runs constantly and continuously stimulates his body to allow him to feel, walk, move, run and every other movements for his muscles and body to be combat-ready. It also provides a weak electromagnetic field that deflects attacks coming from Tier 3 and below, while anyone above can bypass his electromagnetic with any method, as long as they don't get down under the tier limit of getting their attacks deflected. At the least, the mode itself can last for months, years and even decades since it isn't very taxing to begin with for its minimum amount of functions needed for the mode to work. All it does is to send electrical impulses to his brain then to the rest of the nervous system, including damaged ones but the impulse is taken differently. Since the bioelectricity is normally sent from the inside, the damaged nerves are sent the opposite of it. As the bioelectricity reaches the damaged nerves from the non-damaged ones, it stretches outwards and passes by the outer layer of the damaged nerves before re-contracting back to the inner nerves to continue its flow. Interestingly, these electric currents sent by his device to his nerves is quite precise to replace actual bioelectricity that living cells generate and flows within the nerves, blood cells and muscles, which does not potentially fry his nerves nor damaging his body at all, but instead, it creates an extra boost to his body to perform at much greater rate, even if the safety mode doesn't do much work, but enough to increase the performance of his body just by transmitting these weak electric currents within his body. By how long it lasts, again, it can be months, years or even decades for its little-needed function for it to process simple informations to the brain such as thoughts, understandings, speech, languages, movements, muscles and etc. Since the safety mode wasn't really meant for combat, it is mostly switched into safety in every casual days he can go by, or even keep it that way during combat in order to save as much power as possible through using his own brute force to deal with it. Interestingly, his Photographic Memory is not affected although his device manages some, or at least, most of the processes in his brain, and doesn't affect his memories & the abilities that he naturally possesses. His device glows orange under safety mode. To be aware of this, Sou's physical strength is not affected by any means of circumstances after the Australia War Arc, and with his strength preserved, he can rely less on machines.

On mode is where things get serious in combat. When the mode is switched to the On mode, higher frequencies and greater electric current is applied to his body, enough to still keep his nerves, muscle and any other cells in his body to become extremely excited, greatly boosting his durability and strength to a higher form of level, where just 1% of strength would already be enough to split a few mountains into half and obliterating a single mountain to the point where most traces of it would be nothing left but its dusts. With the amount of frequency and electric current he has that channels within his body during the mode, wihout the need of chi energy, he can unleash basic electricity attacks, or plasma attacks, by basic which means he can summon attacks that is commonly used by beginners of electricity users, such as low-tiered blasts and small lightning bolts that is not as destructive as the real one. Otherwise, his body becomes 2 to 3 times much tougher and stronger than his actual state, at least enough to stop a .50 caliber bullet from piercing his skin and flesh, with an enhanced electromagnetic field that is more effective and powerful than the usual one. By using the little chi energy he has after the fuse with his weapon 'Annihilator', he uses that little energy to expand the electromagnetic field of his bioelectricity in his body and makes it denser by temporarily connecting the core of the remains of his chi energy to the electromagnetic field using the interactive signals of frequencies between both the field and the core itself back and forth, although it needs to be tuned by the device according to the circumstances.

Though, this mode can last between 5 to 12 posts depending how it was used in combat. The length can be extended depending how much current is applied to it, or by means of charging the device, however, Sou cannot charge it himself using his own powers gained from the device and needs to be an external source from an enemy or a natural occuring lightning, either way, as long as it is an external source of energy for a recharge to the battery, it can be extended by any means necessary. Safety measures should be taken as it drains the battery life rather rapidly in this mode since it continuously distributes currents, communicating back and forth with the mini-network, encrypting and distributing information for his brain to send impulses and allow his body to stay alive, to move, to talk and such in physical and mental activities. The function given to greatly boost Sou both physically and mentally in combat, even exciting his body's muscles to enhance his muscles' thickness by producing a thin electromagnetic field against his outer muscles where the nerves resides in his muscles to produce reflex, generated constantly with currents and allows him to make use of the weak electromagnetic field to thicken his defenses, weakening attacks if hits were taken directly that bypassed his electromagnetic field. This mode somewhat temporarily replaces his awakening at a much, much lesser extent, since even during 'On' mode, he has rather an extreme limited use in electricity, and additionally, only boosting him through physical and mental aspects twice as tougher than his actual state. This mode should be used cautiously, since once it reaches its limit between 5 to 12 posts, no matter what the situation is, unless it is extended through recharge, although the extension is only limited to an extra 2 posts and can be done once. It glows red when the mode is activated, and its red light slowly flickers and light beeping sounds can be heard from the device when it is about to run out of power.

'Off' Mode, something that his device shifts automatically when his device runs out of power or it was switched manually by Sou for a new change of batteries, nothing else but those situations. Not much to describe about this mode. Otherwise, the only function it does is shutting down everything that the device is doing, stopping the wires from creating currents that replaces the bioelectricity of his body, encrypting and transferring informations back and forth to the network and to his brain that sends an impulse to the nervous system of his muscles. When this goes off, most likely, not absolutely, that he cannot execute his raw strength nor could he move, because the moment his device stops working, his entire nervous system would stop working because there was no external assistance that allows his nerves to send an impulse to his brain, encrypting the informations of movements and so on wihout any bioelectricity to send information to his brain and allows him to 'reflect' the information to actions, but Sou can overcome this with enough determination or 'force' of his body to move in his own will, however, his movements would be too unpredictable nor it can be under his complete control. He can hear, he can see, he can smell, but his body is the only problem to control and allows him to move 'properly', since he cannot execute his strength, although there is a chance that he can depending on the circumstances, and have a hard time to even take a single step under this mode wihout the help of his nerves to transfer and encrypt information from and to his brain through the use of bioelectricity of his body. This can be both permanent and temporarily, depending how his batteries are replenished or device being replaced/repaired from another assistance. In this mode, it is a matter between life and death. The device would stop glowing any visible colors when it shuts down. His death chances would be random when his device shuts down, but presumably around 3 to 5 posts, but this is not guaranteed.

Battery Life: A particular set of batteries encased within a small dark gray box with wires extending from each ends and attached to his wrist. Customized by Sou by making the battery itself immune to electricity and being able to 'absorb' its current much like a battery recharging like a mobile phone that is about to run of batteries, although with much higher potential and capable of absorbing even higher currents, enough to survive 5 strikes from a lightning bolt, both natural or supernatural lightning bolts as an external source to recharge his batteries. Its battery capacity is unknown and kept as a secret within his 'head' by memorizing the workings from his documents in order to prevent any information from spreading and being mass-produced by the public if found. So if it is gone by theory, it has enough battery life to power multiple continents under its compression state, or for short, under its small size, though it may be either true or false. But considering how long it lasts in combat for Sou, it would most likely be impossible to be considered a 'theory' in powering multiple continents, although it is shown that even with its last duration being short, it has quite some potential in combat on aspects of both defensive and offensive being a battery itself that only powers his device.

Its functioned to empower 99% of the components and the installed systems & devices within the IEBN device, though most of its power are focused to the mini-network that Sou had built to empower both of his device and his weapon, the Annihilator VERSION II. To keep his network always running effectively in multi-tasking, which his mini-network transfers information to and from his brain and to his weapon. Wihout using much power, these informations would be transferred rather slowly, even the artificial bioelectricity wouldn't be produced quickly into his veins and nerves to his entire body wihout much time to spend on, and could effectively slow down his reaction speed and reducing his fighting capability altogether. With most of the battery life focused to the network, even at low capacity, it would keep running its power in his body at full power until the device shuts down. While the remaining 1% of the components are self-powered components that uses other sources to function other than just relying on the batteries, so those components that he has installed are noteworthy to keep him alive for a short duration of time although they don't exactly do much as a power source, but can be known as a lifesaver since he needed something that doesn't rely on batteries.

Auto-Calculation Device: One of the secondary cores of the IEBN device, and wihout it, doing everything would be hard wihout the device's help. Although its functions aren't as fast as the Annihilator itself in terms of calculation speed, although if you're going to rival an actual supercomputer against it, you're going to get a draw out of the calculation speed out of it. Under its compressed size of the device itself, it can run about 2 to 6.7 Yottabytes per second. Although Sou's weapon runs faster in picoseconds, it sends lesser information in processing and transfer than the device itself that transfers more information at a larger extent but slower when it comes to actually 'transferring the information every second'.

Shifting to the point, as the name says, the device functions automatically like most of the installed appliances within the IEBN device. Its main function is to calculate the surroundings around Sou, since some of his nerves were in 'near-annihilation' and beyond the point of repair even by his own abilities, he would have the disability from being able to 'feel', which means his receptors, heat receptor, pain receptor and so on would not be able to function wihout the presence of undamaged nerves to send impulse to his brain and interpret the 'feeling' of the touch. This includes the calculation of the wind, temperature, vibrations, wavelengths and hundreds of functions that requires the perception of his body in order to interpret anything he does, even to use to allow the pigments of his skin to function with the calculation device by calculating the intensity of the light, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum, polarisation, even calculating the amount of photons in order to allow his melanin, or the pigment tissues of his skin to absorb a specific amount of light and automatically redirects any ultraviolet rays from the sunlight by its automatic configuration of his own free will. This method can be applied to his electromagnetic field, but mostly used to maintain his physical body to stay alive than actually being used for defenses.

Otherwise, this includes in calculating electrons, positrons, positronium [ possibly ], photons from electromagnetic forces that applies to both static and virtual photons, or virtual particles around him as well, air pressure, intensity, temperature, momentum, electric charge, humidity, gravitational force, everything or anything that is related to his surroundings within 1 mile radius from his position are automatically calculated, interpreted and these informations would be sent to his brain to allow his abilities to run more effectively, especially that his weapon and some of his abilities rely on the surroundings, especially the wind's speed and strength in order to successfully compress it into a plasma under the specifications of his own powers, although this does not apply to his higher state of power, the Awakening. These 'sent' informations does not physically affect him or mentally affecting him, as these informations were sent to his brain for interpretation and the understanding of his atmosphere in order to 'suit' himself for the battlefield. This may be something that allows him to fight more effectively, but this is not scientifically or physically proven yet as these informations may mean something else than just to use it for his abilities.

Mini-Network: Basically, a small network used to allow his device and the weapon to function properly wihout needing anymore to hijack nearby networks in order to allow the weapon and the device itself to function using an external source of power, much like a host or an administor giving necessary orders to the entire system within the IEBN device in order to keep in check that everything is running smoothly wihout any unneeded casualties. Just like a computer, Sou compresses the mechanics of a computer into as little as a chip, only using the required components in order to allow an actual computer to function, and by tweaking its function such as automatically sending and interpreting informations, receiving informations from the entire system within the device itself, communications between Annihilator and the Network in processing & receiving information and effectively executing them in an attack using those informations. Although its functions are not much of a description, in most of these 'common sense', the mini-network was provided to support his device and the weapon in order to allow them to function at its peak. And since these networkings are done both internally [ IEBN ] and externally [ Annihilator ], and being of 'directly connected', electromagnetic radar countermeasures would not work, unless they interrupted the 'path' between the external networking would ultimately fail his weapon, Annihilator, from functioning. Though the mini-network is the main focus of the power of his device, it would not last as long as it runs out of power, as like the device itself, the network will not function if the device shuts down. It does not serve much purpose than interpreting, transferring, receiving information, enhancing his awareness and acknowledgement of his own surroundings to 'suit' himself in the battlefield to know the methods of being able to fight effectively within the battlefield, although the method will not be guaranteed that it will work, but most likely staying at the 'effective' part since it allows his body and movements to be more suited to the calculated surroundings, which follows by the enviromental influence of his mind to allow him to acknowledge his atmosphere to perform attacks and abilities, even movements.

After the implantation of the device, there is a possibility that Sou can be psychologically affected if he is emotionally impacted, which changes the characteristics of his mind for a short period of time and at rare cases, these changes can stay permanent. Under these speculations, there is a way to defy the network whilst staying alive under the effect of his psychological view. By 'defying the network', which means that he can completely ignore the network, or not, is not required to rely on the network itself anymore to stay alive and could override the system itself under a heavy emotional distress, or when he is under tremendous emotional pressure such as within an extreme rage when heavily provoked by his opponent or being emotionally pressured in the reminder of his cruelty or his past lives that he did not want to be reminded to, or rarely, overwhelmed with determination and willpower at a point where it reaches its peak, which can greatly alter his personality and mind in the perspective of how he view things around him clearly altogether for a short period of time, or possibly, permanent to even a greater light, though this is not proven to be true, yet although theoritically possible at some point. The override will be described later on, although this is how it was described.

Regarding of its security system, it can be known for its weak security and clearly vulnerable for even beginners to hijack it, but what came into mind is the redirection of electromagnetic signals, or also known as electromagnetic wave or electromagnetic radiation. Since one has to be directly connected to the network of his device, the machine or the source of object that allows both of his network and the device to connect in order to begin the process of hacking, unless it is an unknown source that allows both to successfully connect, then this would be rendered useless. How it works is meant to disallow anyone or anything from entering the network to prevent the initiation of its self-destruction, and it was through the use of his electromagnetic field. As the device generates an electromagnetic field around the user, mainly Sou, he makes use of this by 'bending' the electromagnetic wave or any other known sources that is attempted to connect both the object and the network, and by 'bending' it, the electromagnetic field uses a filter system created specifically for the network itself, and works altogether effectively against electricity attacks. However, if successfully bypassed its actual security, the device itself would automatically initiate the self-destruct phase, which would force the microchip of the network itself to implode wihout harming the other components within IEBN. Under Sou's personal statement, if the self-destruct phase is not initiated automatically within the device, successfully hijacking and taking over the entire network would mean that his entire body would be under the opponent's control, since they can send their specific information to his brain or anything that is connected to the network to be manipulated altogether if they are specific with the data sent to the brain. If the network is destroyed, not only the weapon, Annihilator, will lose its function and information would not be transferred any longer, which means most of the devices within IEBN will not function anymore and would render him powerless, even during 'On' mode, since only the battery and a very fewer parts of the device would continue running wihout the use of the network or/and the battery itself, depending on the circumstances, he may turn the tides of the battle with or without the network.

IEBN's Functions/Abilities

Electromagnetic Field: A defense that was generated by the IEBN device, created specifically to make it up to Sou's low defensive system in durability, and additionally, prevents anything that is unnecessary for his body to take in, including attacks incoming from an enemy, however, it functions differently depending on the mode. The electromagnetic field only takes effect when it is within 'Safety Mode' and 'On Mode'.

Safety Mode is basically, where the electromagnetic field is automatically generated by the IEBN device at all times for convenient use, weaker than the original one when he is in an awakening state or when the device is switched on. However, it does prove some useful function to it in both combat and his everyday lives. In combat purposes, it has enough density to deflect any known tier 3 and below attacks, unless they are unknown in nature and to the law, they may have well bypassed the field itself, otherwise the executed attacks that are known to him can be deflected away to his desired target. It does have a filter system designed by the calculation device itself, since it also receives information from the host's brain and anything within the device itself, it would be capable enough to transfer the given information to the electromagnetic field to turn an unknown attack into an acknowledgeable attack to be deflected by any means necessary as long as the correct information is sent depending on the specifications of the attack itself.

In basics, because of the filter system, his electromagnetic field is both passive and active in both combat and in his everyday lives. With the given information in the IEBN device, it can redirect attacks under tier 3 and below attacks, depending on the characteristics of the attack, if it is unknown in nature or possesses some otherworldly source, it can bypass its filter system that was implanted against his field. However, if it is a known source, such as kido, a slash, a cero or even any attacks that can be throughoutly known and executed by tier 3 beings or tier 3-based attacks, both tier-3 brute force and energy-based, it can be redirected wihout any necessary attention being given to it. The field itself also makes use of electricity or plasma-based attacks, as if his field was being shocked by an electricity, Sou can either redirect it back to his enemy or converting it into raw energy and transferring it to his physical body only to restore what's little battery life to the IEBN device, extending possibly only 1 post or lesser than that. The question was, how does he redirect these attacks wihout any reflective abilities or vector-related abilities that changes the direction of forces by an incoming attack?

For him, redirection was set down automatically to his filter system since completely destroying it and converting its remaining energy into his own raw energy would be a waste of it, and could possibly deal an additional damage to his enemies who would be great enough to set up an attack against him that would not be worth much of his time paying attention to. For attacks, depending how powerful it is, it is not guaranteed that it can redirect attacks that are above the level of power of a tier 3 although rarely, it could deflect them with enough force applied to it. How attacks are deflected are the use of electromagnetic pulses. Unlike an EMP explosions, this is more of a controlled-type in a form of a sudden burst of electricity by the electromagnetic field in a desired area. This method was automatically implanted into the electromagnetic field by transferring the information to the IEBN device itself to acknowledge the methods of using it in order to make it an automatic ability wihout requiring any concious use of it. The second an attack of any type that is considered harmful under the analysis of either Sou himself or the device itself, if it gets near against the electromagnetic field just by a few centimeters, depending of how the system is designed to sense anything that is harmful to the host, the device would transmit an external impulse, a command to the targeted area of where an attack would impact into, and the field itself would compress a small amount of electricity into a single point of where an attack would impact and forcing it to implode seconds before the object hits the electromagnetic field itself to heighten its force of explosion greater than the force of impact, depending on the amount of electricity would outburst and the area that is imploded on, Sou can 'choose' which direction he wants to redirect, or allowing the network to make its decision of which action would be appropriate to redirect the attack to.

For the case of minor things like Ultraviolet light, since an UV rays is an electromagnetic radiation, the IEBN device could make in calculations and force it to redirect the electromagnetic radiation itself away from the electromagnetic field itself whether it is in a form of wave or particle by unbalancing the frequencies between the two, maintaining its frequency of the field itself to a higher or a lower point from its initial or original frequency where the ultraviolet light would not be able to travel past the field itself and would be forced to redirect itself away from Sou's electromagnetic field due to the frequency of his electromagnetic field or if the radiation is too strong for it to change its frequency, the IEBN network would execute a command where his electromagnetic field would 'absorb' the electromagnetic radiation which much works like a sunscreen lotion, such as the ultraviolet rays or gamma rays and discharging them against the earth, or keeping them as a supplementary energy to discharge its energy against his enemies or to defend himself by making use of the gathered radiation and releasing it altogether to form an external protection for his field. Otherwise, his field counters of another electromagnetics such as light [ Working much like a black hole which it absorbs the particles or waves of the light and form a complete darkness within his electromagnetic field although this method was never proven or shown as this was just a speculation ], nuclear radiation, x-rays, radiowaves, gamma rays, infrared light [ Not exactly 'absorbing' his body heat as it is more like 'blocking' away his body heat signature from an outside view from any advanced technology ], both ionized and non-ionized radiation [ Since the radiation destroy chemical bonds of atoms or/and molecules, the system within his electromagnetic field could automatically replace destroyed electrons from a specific radiaiton that could potentially destroy his field's particles or atoms, and this system was created to potentially replace any 'dead' or 'missing' electrons that was suppose to create an electromagnetic field that has electrically charged electrons ]. However, if the radiation is too great, his electromagnetic field would be temporarily shut down because most of the electrons would be completely destroyed due to its inability to redirect nor being able to absorb because of its strong radiation.

Since it redirects or absorbs ultraviolet rays from the sun by his electromagnetic field, this could potentially lower the amount of melanin produced by his body in order to protect him from UV rays from sunburn or skin cancer, and could potentially forces his hair color to change into white, as well as skin color altogether into white, all due to lack of melanin or pigments in his physical body. In order to maintain his hair color and balancing the hormones of his body, he does allow 'some' ultraviolet rays pass through his field in order for his body to continuously produce melanin and maintaining his hair color and skin color as well, although Sou doesn't allow all of the ultraviolet rays to pass through his field unless he wills it to pass through.

In case of EMP-based attacks that could destroy any electronics within its blast radius, or at the least, it temporarily disables any electrical appliances or devices that relies on electricity to power, his electromagnetic field would take all of the damage given by the EMP itself, which means when an EMP implosion hits in, his electromagnetic field would absorb all the damage, depending how great its EMP explosion is, it could lead to temporary shutdown of his own field for a few posts, or it could last until the thread ends. His electromagnetic field isn't EMP-resistant, however, it does prevent his device from being potentially destroyed just by being blown by a simple bomb, and it takes the damage for the system in order to allow him to continue his combat furtheralong.

Basic Plasma Generation & Manipulation: As the ability name itself implies, Sou does possess a basic ability of Plasma Manipulation and Generation, however, again, as the name of the ability implies, the potential and the effectiveness of the ability are at a basic level, unabling him from executing attacks beyond his level of potential. To be aware of the situation, this manipulation and generation ability only applies to him when the device is switched on, or for short, Online mode.

For basic attacks, the most common tactic he uses is the discharging attacks, where he makes use of his body's artificial or replacement bio-electricity of his body to create electrical shockwaves from his punches and kicks, even headbutt altogether, allowing him to perform greater feats of strength than just using pure obliterating punches and ground-crushing kicks, which greatly increases both of his offensive and defensive aspects in combat from this perk, and obviously, this decreases the amount of strains of his muscles and the chances of his body being naturally and physically tired wihout the reliance of this ability. Paralysis can occur, however, if he discharges more volts from his attacks than normal, and enough voltage can cause paralysis to his enemies, organic or inorganic, unless they have immunity against plasmas or/and electricity, of course.

Of course, other than physically executing abilities by through physical means of force, he can summon mini-EMPs, as far as that they reach out between 200 to 500 meters wide, depending how much force he releases as this ability can be executed by means of discharging the electricity from his body through a stomp, which his body would carry a mixture of the vibrations of his body and the bio-electricity within his nerves, and those vibrations stimulates the nerves of his body and discharging a reasonable amount of voltage from the stomp and allows him to create a shockwave-like mini-EMP. Although, interestingly, it doesn't break electronic devices, but instead, using Sou's own brute force, the EMP can stretch outwards from the position of where he stomped and releases a series of electricity in a circle, and when it reaches to an enemy, the voltage 'climbs' to the victim's body and potentially shocking them with enough electricity to burn off the victim's skin, but depending on their immunity against it, the effects can be weakened by any means of immunity against plasma/electricity. Otherwise, any abilities related to electricity or plasma can be executed as long as they are kept at a basic level, though, it does not need to be used in the basic level and can be used above than just the 'basics' itself, although they require an even greater voltage and uses more battery power in order to generate a higher amount of electricity to execute higher form of attacks to, of course, ensure destruction, but that's what restricts his ability to a 'Basic' level.

Its merits is that they are easy to generate and manipulate at a rapid speed wihout needing any waiting duration as long as the volts and the amount of electricity generated is not vast and enough to cause a small destruction upon his enemies, and since they don't rely on chi energy and absorbs the device's battery life instead, being estimated around 5 to 12 posts as long as he controls the amount of times of using his powers, his uses with manipulating and generating these plasmas are near-unlimited with fair use over it, and of course, it won't supernaturally exhaust him out as it doesn't rely on chi energy, but it doesn't mean that he won't be naturally and physically exhausted from executing these attacks over and over again.

Its demerits are the consumption of batteries itself and its abilitiesm which means that other than the 'basics' itself, he has a very limited form of abilities that he can execute due to how much battery life it can consume, thus would deplete the longetivity of his batteries from ever lasting in a battle. In a matter of fact, the greater the potential or the destructiveness of the ability, the higher the amount of battery power would be consumed, since he would require a higher voltage to release an even greater power to destroy his enemies to pieces. His device would need to work even harder in order to produce more voltage for his convenient use if he were to execute abilities such as summoning a lightning bolt, a low-powered railgun or so forth. Otherwise, the device can be hijacked and destroyed easily if his electromagnetic field goes down, and if they can shut down the automatic self-destruction system and go past into his network, it would almost akin to controlling one's entire body system since the IEBN device is directly connecting to his nervous system altogether, though the self-destruction system would most likely occur before one could actually bypass its systems from exploding.

IEBN's Enchantments

Enhanced Strength: This enhancement only applies when her device is switched on, where he makes use of his body's electricity, or artificial bio-electricity to increase the force of his punches and kicks to a whole new level, where he wouldn't need to use much of his natural strength and can rely on the electricity or the plasma of his body by throughoutly manipulating and commanding the network to channel more voltage to his fists or his legs to land a harder punch through a discharge of electricity from his body. Or, constantly covering his fists and legs surging with a high voltage power of electricity if he is willing to weaken his abilities to 1/2 of their actual power and further increasing his strength to a higher form of state where he could obliterate mountains or 20-storey apartments if he is willing to do so with ease. However, the amount of time of his enhanced strength can only last for a limited time until he turns his device to its safety mode or potentially forcing it to shutdown with a flick of the button or running its power out, but it doesn't mean that his actual strength is gone for good as well, since his natural strength cannot be affected by his device, whether his device is ran out of batteries, destroyed or hijacked, his natural strength would still run strong and allow him to perform extreme performances when it comes to unleashing his actual strength in his normal state wihout the IEBN's help.

Enhanced Durability: While his pain endurance are not exactly increased, but the electricity in his body toughened his skin quite to an extent where his body can allow him to catch a bullet with his teeth if he wishes to, of course he wouldn't go that far into that. As long as his device is still good at running alive whether within safety mode or activated, the enhanced durability effect would keep running until it either shuts down willingly by Sou or runs out of batteries, otherwise the effects of the enhanced durability would still be good as running all day long. How his durability is enhanced are the placements of electricity in his body, where surprisingly, the network makes use of its own power rather than just to support his body's nervous system, and which it aligns the electricity [ Bio-electricity ] of his body in an orderly manner across the inner and outer layers of his skin, and thickens it by allowing his body to collect 'leftover electricity' that is either randomly discharged by his nerves or body [ Does not affect his actual performance ] and splitting the discharged electricity evenly to his inner and outer layer of his skin, thus granting him an enhanced durability to take on bigger blows wihout a scratch, not to mention on catching a bullet with his teeth, but he'll go by with a scratch or two with it. There are limits on increasing his durability, since a mortal body like him cannot handle overloaded amount of voltage unless automatically discharged, the network acknowledges of the amount of electricity that needs to cover his skin in a balanced manner, not too much and not too little.

Enhanced Brain Activity and Intelligence: Much like the ability says, with the presence of the network and the device altogether, his brain could do everything at a much higher rate because of the IEBN device that is constantly sending informations in and out, intercepting, analyzing and even receiving them altogether every second. To be more specific, his reaction speed would be greatly boosted, together with more acknowledgement of the specific force required to unleash his strength with the informations of how his muscles moves, contracts, expands and reacts to the input and output force of his body, and knowing well about the electrons, positrons and many other things he never knew about before gaining his ever-new awakening and power, which these occurances greatly alters his personality and way of thinking that allowed him to think about things throughoutly before executing himself into a war of bloodshed, but this doesn't stop him much from turning into a giant psychopath that is willing to tear your ribs apart.

What's good about the enhancements within the intelligence section is the IEBN device and the help of the network itself, which allows him to acknowledge things that is unknown to him in the past, and with his photographic memory into the mix, these informations he can gain from being able to feel it, see it, acknowledge it and so forth can allow his brain and the network to start processing and calculating the amount of force it has in order to allow Sou to release a specific force to destroy a certain attack with brute strength, and allowing him to understand the elements and the properties of the attack to further input more information to his brain to remember in the future when he has the ability to create the certain type of attack, or by simply, giving him the knowledge to create an equipment to mimic the attack, although that is still not possible yet.

Plasma/Electricity Immunity: This applies both to his device and himself, although for Sou, his body doesn't have a complete immunity over it despite wielding a massive knowledge with electricity, but it is mostly due to his lack of usage over it, which drags down his progress with his knowledge about his own powers and the natures of plasma/electricity altogether. Though, his body possesses an immunity enough to cancel 1/2 [ half ] of any electricity/plasma-based attacks' actual damage against him, and when it comes to fighting against electricity users, his body can take more than any normal humans wihout an immunity against them.

For the IEBN device, it is near-immunity against electricity/plasma-based attacks, as Sou wouldn't want his device to go down too easily in combat from just a spark of electricity, so he had built a heavy-duty electricity-absorbent battery that can go as far as absorbing a few lightning bolts directly wihout any scratch and would still stay in one piece after being struck a couple of times against them. That, being true, but it doesn't resist well against EMP-based attacks despite their nature for being related to electricity, and the second his device against into the radius of an EMP explosion, his device would be as well as dead upon impact from it, so its better off being careful. If you're trying to destroy the IEBN device than curbstomping Sou himself, its better to get down with other elements than electricity or plasma, otherwise you're in big trouble for doing it so.
