Reaper Shield [Gotei Reformed/Kenpachi Foundation Equipment]

» Item Name: Reaper Shield
» Item Type: Aid

» Used For: Defense

» Item Description: The Reaper's Shield is a diamond shaped badge that is the size of a fully grown adult human's hand. It is mostly black, but seems to have gold plated edges around its ends. And, towards the center of it, The Kenpachi symbol can be seen engraved within white.

Now, the purpose of this badge is to allow a greater means of defense during wartime situations. So The Reaper Shield's possess a high volume of spiritual energy that was siphoned from Ibiki Kenpachi and utilized her Resolve Force ability to fuel its abilities. As The Reaper's Shield is capable of forming an indigo aura around the user who adorns this badge on their body. And it can be comparable to a master hierro because it is fueled by the immaterial force of Ibiki's will converted into a tangible form of energy via the particles of her spiritual energy being the catalyst for this energy.

This item can be comparable to an advanced level hierro and can withstand numerous strikes to it which are on-par with a beginner to advanced level cero's before dulling and breaking. Granted, if a person on advanced level increased the potency of their attack power by infusing a high volume of their energy into an attack, then they can stand a better chance at quickly breaking the armor after 3-4 hits. While Master and Grand Masters strength users (for a comparison of power) can generally break it after two hits for master, and one hit for Grand Master.

Outside of that, it is GREATLY capable of resisting most means of mental manipulation if one were to negatively influence the will of a character who had this shield active. Additionally, it will also attempt to purge any toxins or foreign alignments that are plaguing a user by flushing them out of their system and sending the particles of energy associated with the shield to dissolve them a microsporic level until they are burned to cinders.

Now, with that said, this is not something that is infinite. The Reaper Shields can only withstand so much repetitive damage before they break and grow dull. Too many heavy hits to this shield will cause it to buckle and give way because that is the nature of armor. So the Shinigami in question must know when to activate this armor and when to deactivate it. As they will need to return it to the Research Division of the Gotei Reformed in order to have it repaired; or to the combat division.

Ergo, to prevent that, the shield will more than likely shut itself and conserve power when it is on the breaking point. It will warn the user by turning a bright shade of gray and letting out a whirring sound (optional) when it is about to perform this function. Hence, there does not appear to be a time limit for how long this shield can remain active, but there is a damage limit and repeated heavy strikes or high quantity attacks will crack or break it. [I.E. multiple direct hits from a master level cero could crack it and shatter it]

It's also worth noting that damage and injury can still occur while wearing this armor. As it does not make them impervious to damage, but it merely acts as a way to shock and absorb the brunt of the damage from harming the user. So while something a nuclear explosion going off within a small portion of a city wouldn't kill them, but they could still have bits and pieces of pressure seep into the shield and begin to strain their body.
