Skilled Swordsman:

Mitsuyo's impatient style to combat makes him rush into trying to learn things that he's seen rather than taking the time to learn why certain things work the way they do. This made him decent at knowing what his sword is capable of, however this doesn't make him a great swordsman, since he did not learn the proper techniques of the strikes or parries he may make.

Weapons Practitioner:

Mitsuyo has an undeniable curiosity, mixing this with his very antsy and impatient personality leads him to make brash decisions in a fly. Often times he takes this out by learning anything that looks interesting to him, however as he became part of the Gotei, his curiosity began to form itself on learning about different combat styles that he would witness. He is not profiecent in every weapon under the sun, but he knows a decent amount of training with bo-staffs, halberds, axes, chains, and kusarigama. He also is fairly accurate with throwing daggers.

Above Average Perception:

Mitsuyo is very analytical, and will not hesistate to use the environment around him to tip the scales in his favor. This labels him as being a "dirty fighter" most of time, as he tries to kick up dirt or toss objects that are close by as distractions. This combined with his sealed power being a Flashbang more or less, Mitsuyo is prized on using external sources to aid him in battle, as he doesn't have as much physical strength or durability that could work in his favor.

Great Spiritual Pressure:

Because of the dueling energies of his zanpakuto and hollow spirit, it causes him to have a larger spiritual pressure as being a Vizard. Interestingly enough, since his hollow spirit and zanpakuto share similar powers, and enhance one another, the energies could become even more intense compared to an average Vizard of his skill level.


Enhanced Internal Connection:

His internal spirits, Sumire and Akane, are truly the manifestation of both his best companion (Sumire) and his most severe loss (Akane) in the Land of The Living. Because of this, and because of Akane being a reference to his lost memories, he utilizes this to his advantage to treat his inner world as he should have treated them when he were alive. Because of this, despite his Inner Hollow being a spirit feeding off his negativity, it instead understands Mitsuyo's willingness to change, and offers him ways to prove himself, so long as he succumbs to her control. As far as Sumire, because of Mitsuyo becoming the opposite of how he had treated his fiancee in the land of the living, Sumire is treated like his spouse more than just a sword spirit. Because of this Sumire often gives him more than usual assistance than a typical zanpakuto spirit would.





Sealed Power Upgrade/ Rework:

Candela:
------------------------------

Mitsuyo's sealed power allows him to play with the light that is refracted off his blade. By combining his reiastu with this light, he is allowed to catch photons within his blade, and upon the blade being moved by an external source that is not his own swings, the blade will release those photons outwards as an explosion of light that covers a 5ft radius around his body. When he activates the skill technique will take 5 posts before he can release this again on his own command. Passively, the technique will begin to charge itself after being used. When it's charging, if he were to use his sword to block techniques while it's in this charging state, it has the possibility to delay the charge rate of the skill. For example, the technique will take 5 posts to fully charge for him to use again, but if he were to block an attack before it's effective charge time, it would reduce the timing by half of a post. Meaning two blocked sword slashes, would delay his charge from 5 posts to 6 posts. During this charge time, the sword will continually glow brighter to show when it's ready to be released. When it glows in this way,it becomes more disorienting by causing a trail of light off of his sword as well as afterimages as his sword swings. This would make it more confusing to see where his blade actually is within the light trail. This will not be a major issue until maybe the 3rd post, most likely the 4th post, and definitely the 5th post, of the technique charging. The blade overall will not cause blindness in it's charged state, but rather just become an additional distraction.

The blinding effects of this technique would be described as having enough energy as a military-grade Flashbang, shining at 7Million CD(candela). With this level of light, anyone who is not expecting the flash would be temporarily blinded for a few seconds. And even after the blinding effects occur, there would be an afterimage imprinted into the enemy's vision of whatever they looked at last, lingering for an additional few seconds after their vision is restored. At melee range, it's possible that closing the eyes might not be enough to save an enemy from the flash, as the brightness would be enough to see through the eyelids. Closing eyes would prevent the afterimage effect, but might not stop the flash's blinding effects.

A majority of this would rely on being in range for this attack to work. He can't direct his attack anywhere specifically, or make it ranged. It happens on and around himself and his sword, so the obvious "counter" to this technique would be not be in melee range of him. However for a more direct check to the move, one's mental focus would have to be equal to or higher than his to determine it's effectiveness. This focus check would also be needed for his blade's disorienting nature when it's charging. Willpower would also be needed in some regard, as even with the ability to not be effected too much by the blinding light, I couldn't imagine someone tossing a flashbang into view every few minutes as being enjoyable or something one can deal with patiently.


Hollow Augment Shikai: Frquency Control
---------------------------

Mitsuyo's inner hollow, Akane, is unique in that rather than becoming the anti-thesis of Mitsuyo's light based power, she instead enhances the control within it. When Mitsuyo's mask is donned, Akane's mischievous nature comes out, turning his blade's edge into a ray of light. This ray will change colors depending on Akane's mood, but as for his blade, that is interpreted by how much pain is felt within a single slash of his blade. With Green being the middle ground, he has a total of 7 color options to make due with. The colors choices are; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet and pink, with red being the most severe and pink being the least.Green would be considered the middle ground, making a sword slash feel like a normal instance of combat. While the most extreme versions of his weapon's striking capabilities being Red amplifying the pain felt to feel as though one slash were equal to the pain of an arm being cut off clean in a single strike. Versus Pink, feeling like the blade is a feather tickling itself across the body. The cuts themselves are normal, meaning if all he does is cause a scrape against the cheek, then the effects will take hold, however, red would make that small scrape feel like the whole cheek was torn off, while pink would make it feel like it was a gust of wind across the face, based on his own Willpower.

With this being said, these are only the feelings one can receive from a slash, and nothing a representation of what is really occurring. Regardless, Mitsuyo is still utilizing a katana with his own strength to go against. The main requirement for this weapon is actually being able to cut the opponent. If the sword does not penetrate, the blade's effects will not occur. This ability is also on an RNG mechanic, based around Akane's mischevious nature. For this element, the color of the blade will change every 2 posts for as long as his mask is donned. Finally, this skill works on will power checks, despite this being an ability working with his sword's slashes. Although, the sword augment's the pain it is still up to him to get through durablity to make his cuts work as they should. Equalling to his willpower would hold a situation like above, where Red will feel like a laceration, while pink would feel like a mild breeze. As durability lessens, the pain from his attacks are increased, even pink will cause slight discomfort with people at beginner or lower. Red feeling like a full amputation while pink feeling like a firm pluck against the skin. Above Adept, and the pain would begin to lessen, making Red feel like skin tearing off, while pink attacks may have a chance to tickle the opponent.



» Why:

- I felt like his current sealed power is tuned to what his hollow can do, rather than himself and his zanpakuto. Eventually, I would like to do something like a "Sealed Hollow Power" and if that happens, I will use his current one for that. But otherwise, I plan on striking it out and never using it until that day comes around.

- I created this character when I was newer to the site, and overloaded his kit with abilities, but looking at him now, they don't make sense with how he's currently being RP-ed. I'm still going to keep the theme with him, but scale back what he is capable of doing, until he gets to a level where I feel like the whole "weapon swap" thing makes sense.

» Extra: Nope, this technique isn't all that flashy. And doesn't need any extra light shining on it.
