Inventions Galore! [Catherine Equipment 1]

» Name: Jul Steel (Prototype)
» Description:

The progress toward creating weapons capable of purifying Hollows, weapons forged of this steel is a bright silvery gray in appearance due to the process of creation. Creation methods are inspired both by the studying of how soul-synthesized silver is created via old records, alongside studying the makeups of shattered Zanpakuto. The process starts with normal metalworking, however the spiritual particles of fallen Hollows are incorporated into the folding process, layering the weapon in a similar fashion to how souls are layered the spirit weapon’s blade.

However, due to many imperfections present in the process, it is not yet capable of purifying hollows, but it is visibly more effective against hollows it's wielded against. The weaponry crafted from this steel is durable enough to contend with spiritual threats without fear of breaking or losing sharpness.

» Name: Sjeleser | Soul Reader
» Description:

A device that strongly resembles a digital EMF reader, the Sjeleser is capable of reading a given target’s spiritual density, make an estimation of how many souls make up their being based off of that density, and then will give that estimation a rating.

The ratings are as follows:
- | Insignificant; a typical person or spirit would create this reading.
0 | Standard; an entity with a spiritual density comparable to a Base Hollow would create this reading.
00 | Significant; an entity with a spiritual density comparable to a Gillian-class would create this reading.
000 | Catastrophic; an entity with a spiritual density comparable to an Adjuchas-class would create this reading. The device will let out a single loud ping.
0000 | Unfathomable; an entity with a spiritual density comparable to a Vasto Lorde-class would create this reading. The device will let out three loud pings.
00000 | Classless; Either an error, or it is an entity with a spiritual density beyond recognizable parameters. The device will sustain a long, steady, low beep.

» Name: Hugrtaka Series | Soul Taker
» Description: A small series of devices that resembles a steel backpack vacuum with a long hose that can strap to one’s arm, but can take different forms depending on it’s size. They are capable of harvesting spiritual samples from corpses or soil and confidently storing them for long periods in the detachable chamber. Depending on the model it can pull up anything as fine as Reishi or as dense as flesh and blood. Differing types of nozzles from syringes to vacuum heads can be hot swapped depending on what’s in need of collection. Large receptacles for mass storage with sample stability capacity exist.

» Name: Hultopp Series | Hollow Point
» Description:
A series of guns, all of which are made up of a mixture between spiritual biological material and steel. Though the outer shell appears like a normal gun of the provided make, it’s internals are a complicated binding of greatly modified hollow organs and flesh, metallic components placed at various nerve clusters in order to stimulate the weapon to fire Bala-like projectiles for various uses and degrees of fire.

Though these guns have the benefit of not needing to be loaded with physical ammo, they do need to be occasionally fed spiritual energy in order for their performance to not suffer, be it the weapon left to rest for several hour intervals between active use to passive absorb reishi, or for the user themselves to feed it their own reserves. They also possess a far quieter sound when firing, enabling their use in secrecy to catch others unaware.

Though they are still being prototyped, they have come to a stage where they can be of active use.

HT-M2-3 (Pistol)

This model is able to fire rounds much like a typical handgun. It’s lightweight and sleek design allow for confident concealed carry.

HT-M3-5 (Shotgun)

This model is specifically for battering a target at close range with a large spray of Bala, though it leaves the user with incredible recoil and seconds between shots. Strength and good timing are vital when using this weapon.

HT-M4-4 (Assault Rifle)

This model is capable of continuously firing a focused stream of Bala in order to pierce an opponent’s defenses. Due to ammo needs, the user is often informed to have a means of feeding the gun spiritual energy on hand if they wish for a prolonged experience with no delay between streams.

HT-M5-5 (Sniper Rifle)

This model is a modified version of the HT-M4 to enable a focused shot of Bala as opposed to a steady stream to enable more options of stealth and secretly take out targets. The ammo needs aren’t as intensive as the HT-M4, but users are still advised to have a means of refuelling.

HT-M6-7 (Cannon; Prototype)

This model is not up to be presented or used yet due to the complications in production and the risk it presents. It strongly resembles a modern bazooka, but with size comes more complicated innards and larger energy costs. It is capable of firing a full on Cero, but a lengthy recharge is needed between shots if adequate refuelling is not available. There have also been instances of the fleshy components of the gun growing out of their bounds and burning their user; extreme caution is advised when handling this model.

» Name: Huldrakt Series (Prototype)
» Description:
A highly experimental series of armor using Hollows as a basis for function. By capturing, containing, dissecting, and using the bare minimum assets to keep a Hollow ‘alive’, vital organs and a majority of the nervous system are carefully compressed into a small backpack-like receptacle maintained by drugs and other mechanical life support systems, a black sleeve leading to a metallic wristband that would be fastened to the user before deployment.

When activated, stimulants are supplied to the remnants of the hollow to force it to expand into what looks like a cloak of armor, it’s appearance dependent on what hollow was used for it. In theory, this device would enable the user to utilize the abilities of the hollow used to create it, the capacity for usage based on an individual’s reiryoku stores given that would be used to fuel and maintain the cloak’s awakening for a short period to enable the user to use abilities beyond their own to achieve something.

However, significant problems are posed with this cloak that have postponed any extensive creation. The possibility of the user’s will and body being overwhelmed and then consumed by the Hollow are considerably high, overuse of the armour has only presented a heightening of the likelihood and an infringing upon or even damaging to one’s psychological state - as if the Hollow itself is goading the user into letting it take over every moment it’s awake.

As a result, only one Huldrakt model currently exists, carefully monitored and maintained, and isn’t permitted for casual use.

» Name: Isvargtann | Ice Wolf Fang
» Description:
An elegant yet practical spear crafted from Junn Steel, it’s business end wrapped around what appears to be a large wolf’s tooth attached to a bundling of flesh embedded by a sturdy metal core just before the blade with space for a cartridge to be inserted just before it. The metallic core is separate from the outer bands of the weapon, and has the required means to sustain and stimulate the nerves attached to the hollow’s part.

The make and shape of the spear features many pointed edges, especially around the tip and end; The coiled appearance isn’t merely for show, it enables one to use their Fullbring to manipulate the outer rods of the weapon into various shapes, from lashing tendrils to spiked hooks or even merely to extend to add to the spear’s striking power on either end. The main blade is cold and serrated, leaving messy wounds in it’s wake.

The hound’s tooth isn’t for mere show; it is a fragment of a slain cold-brewing hollow, and with the use of a blood capsule it can be stimulated to create a freezing effect in the lacerating blade. It is capable of freezing and tearing open larger wounds in an instant when active, remaining this effective for about three posts before needing another capsule to be stimulated.

» Name: Ulvekongenfell | Wolf King’s Pelt
» Description:
Some of the large rough blue scales of this great beast were pried off in order to stud this shield crafted of Junn Steel. This grants an already rather durable and large defense additional protection and durability, considerable firepower needing to pierce what is effectively a Hollow’s own hide. The shield also has metallic points around the sides and banding the front that can be manipulated by the user’s Fullbring in order, for instance, to spike out or toward an opponent within a deadlock.

» Obtained From: Catherine would have acquired the resources via owning her grandfather’s company and familial relics and books, said family being a Quincy family of blacksmiths. She would have the means to research how to go about making this metal, between that and having her own collection of shattered Zanpakuto to study. She already has a background of constructing weapons using Hollow parts, many of these are just an extension of that knowledge with the assistance of resources and time granted by the timeskip.

» Accessibility: Currently only accessible by Catherine and those who work with her.
