I AM Hollow empty inside
Basic Information:
Character Name: Soran Kanzaki
Gender: Male
Age: 420 (Appears to be 16)
Residence: N/A (Traveler)
Appearance: Soran has short spiky black hair and golden eyes with a clean cut face. He also wears a pair of arm braces with gloves with one layer of pitch-black Titanium with another layer of rubber-based material connected to the inside of them, preventing electricty from conducting and shocking the user. They take the shape of the user's hand and appear to be leather, but on feel and effectiveness, are pure Titanium on the outer-layer. His outfit consists of a black and silver outfit that, while remaining baggy, contains a darker style using many zippers and extra leggings but still retains a crown necklace.
Soran is fairly muscular but to the extent where he is swift as well as strong. Generally chesty with more upper body mass but strong legs which can run swiftly and deliver powerful kicks. He built his body up to the highest that he could achieve with it, but to an extent that it would not affect his movements or slow him down, therefore he achieved the body of the perfect warrior. Basically, he has the perfect blend of mass and tonnage to create the maximum amount of flexibility and strength needed in battle. Then, he built his muscle's tonnage to have a huge amount of endurance so he can last longer in battle when needed.
Personality: Soran is proud, cunning, cruel, and loves to fight. The lives of others hold absolutely no value to him, and he shows no remorse for his actions. As a pragmatist, he will strike without a moment's thought, warning, or hesitation. This makes him a skilled and extremely aggressive opponent, showing a mastery in hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship. He is swift and agile, able to perform complicated and nearly impossible acrobatic feats such as jumping off of a high cliff while landing squarely on his feet. The swift warrior is also a difficult opponent to fight in close combat, as he can quickly counterattack if struck multiple times, making him very dangerous. He is also shown to be an uncaring, cold, and ruthless individual, having not the slightest sympathy for anyone.
Your Legacy:
Your Story:
Soran trained every single day in order to perfectly hone his abilities to the maximum capacity that he could obtain. Soran was even trained from a day to day basis in the art of fighting with a blindfold on, so in the slight chance that he was ever blinded in battle he would be able to have an acute sense of hearing and be able to ascertain an opponent's position when temporarily blinded and subsequently disarm him, kill the opponent, and then catch a sheath perfectly on his sword through sound alone.
However, he was killed when he was sixteen by gang members when he was swarmed by armed men. Soran fought to his best capibilities, but his body was shot multiple times with a pistol. His soul however, remained behind. Soran wandered the Earth alone for many years, until eventually he gave into the despair of being trapped on Earth after his Death. Thus, he transformed into a Hollow with a hole through his left foot.
Ryu was impressed, because soon Soran would even be able to keep up with him. Soran had learned a mixture of Martial Arts. The first was had mastered was known as Muai Thai, then he discovered Capoeira. This was the style he had become most excited to learn. But soon, there was nothing left to learn frm Ryu.
Soran is now a traveler among the world, he walks in silence among the shadows. Not knowing who he truly is or why he has the abilities that he does, but regardless he honed his skills to their best capacity in order to achieve both enlightenment and balance with the world around him. Soran has demonstrated a depth of understanding that would seem to surpass his young appearance, such as knowing roughly what is going to happen in the future based on the actions and personalities of the people involved.
Basic information:
Zanpakuto Name: Strength
Weapon of Choice: Double-Bladed Katana
Appearance: A sword with two blades coming out of the hilt.
Element: Wind
Spiritual Pressure Color: Because the energy output and radiation is higher than that of an average Soul Reaper. The Spiritual Pressure is Crimson Red with a aura pulse at a higher frequency which is Pitch Black, like the type 2 aura.
Other Information: This Zanpakutō is known as Soran's true "Strength" which boosts the wielders attack and speed for close combat. This double-bladed katana can be split into two spearate swords or shifted into a double-edged sword with swords coming from each side of the hilt. This sword has a laserpoint-sharpened edge which can easily cut through stone without any difficulty alone. This weapon is also light and versatile, meaning it can be used for both a quick counter and in blocking/deflecting oncoming projectiles.
After charging crimson wind into the sword, Soran then swipes a slicing chakra wave which appears to be controlled by Soran's will and thoughts. He is also able to use this technique in a rapid-fire, succesive motion. In addition to making it a deadly short range weapon, the sharp wind also carries tremendous force that can devastate anything in its path without affecting the user, making it useful for dislodging solid and heavy objects. This extends the reach and the cutting ability of the blade, and also allows the user to fire crescents of wind whenever the blade is swung. This released wind is capable of great destruction as shown from how it destroyed a stone pillar.
In addition to making it a deadly short range weapon, the extended blade also carries tremendous force that can devastate anything in its path without effecting the user, making it useful for dislodging solid and heavy objects.
Resurrección:
Resurrección Name: Anti-Form
Descriptions: The darkness in Soran's heart will mix with his Zanpakutō, which causes him to gain wind abilities as well as the power of darkness.
Release Command: Give me Strength!
Released Appearance: Soran will transform into the Resurrección form of pure darkness. In this form, he dresses in the same clothing as what Soran usually wears. This is including his gloves, arm braces, shorts, large shoes, hooded shirt, and even has the same necklace and hip chain. However, his clothing is colored entirely in shades of black and grey. His skin is also black, as is his spiky hair. He also has glowing yellow eyes which can see in the dark, characteristic of an advanced Hollow.
In this form, all of his cells fuse in a level of saturation of darkness. Sorrin instantaniously gains a more feral behavior in which he runs about on all fours and attack with shadow claws on his hands. Aesthetically, the Soran's skin and hair would then become ink black and his clothes become black with blue accents. Furthermore, he is constantly emitting Darkness from his arms and back in the form of misty black and violet wisps in exchange for having a shadow.
Other Changes: A black aura surrounds the entire area and causes everything to become as dark as a star lit night.
Techniques:
Name: AfterImage
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: Soran can move so fast to the point where he produces afterimages of himself in order to confuse opponents who are unable to follow his movements. He developed this technique himself from an early age. This is the ability to move so swiftly that an image of the user is left behind. Most often it is used to dodge an incoming attack and get behind the opponent to perform a counter-attack. Its usage is not limited to just counterattacks though, as it can also be used to confuse enemies. This technique merely requires moving faster than the eye can see. This is a similar phenomenon to that of moving your hand back and forth very fast, and seeing a sort of afterimage of your hand. However, the speed at which Hayato can move his entire body is far too much for an average shinobi to perform. This user can distract his/her opponent with an Afterimage Technique then when the opponent attacks the false image, the user can perform a sneak attacks.
Downside: A person with high awareness can distinguish the Afterimages from the original, since the images left behind do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.)
Name: Enhanced speed/agility
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: This is a high-speed movement technique, allowing Soran to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported or flickered away. It is accomplished by using wind to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. Soran is extremely skilled with both speed and agility which has caused some to mistakenly believe he can teleport, when in fact he is just moving very quickly. This incredible speed gives him an edge in battle against slower or close-range fighters.
Soran can enhance his movement in battle; he can run swiftly by decreasing air resistance around himself and even sprint across or run up vertical surfaces by generating a wind current behind himself to propel him forward. Soran has been shown using this to run many times faster than an average human and maintain this for very long periods, allowing him to travel long distances without gliding or jumping.
When used by a skilled wind user, this technique can enable Soran to travel at a speed almost too swift for the naked eye to be able to see properly. The constant movement required by this art makes Soran naturally flexible and agile. Even without wind manipulation he can easily maneuver around an opponent by ducking, jumping, and side stepping, appearing to flow around their opponents without expending any energy at all, letting the opponent tire themselves out and thus creating exploitable openings. This conservation of energy combined with high stamina gives them an advantage in prolonged combat. Due to such speed, he is able to scale right up the walls of buildings, or similar structures, and can also run right over water.
Downside: If running at full speed it will become harder to completely stop and cause Soran to skid on the ground.
Name: Wind Barrier
State: Resurrección
Terms of usage: Soran must unleash a massive amount of wind from his body or simply manipulate the surrounding wind current.
Description: Similar to an air shield, this powerful defense surrounds the user in a sphere of spinning air that deflects anything coming in at them, levitate across varied distances, and can even disintegrate the ground beneath them. The user can harness the surrounding wind currents to form a dome or full body barrier of wind in order to protect themselves from various oncoming attacks. However, under the spiraling wind is a dome of pure energy that can withstand most energy-based or elemental attacks depending on the strength and amount of force used in the attack. The durability increases as the user's power rises due to the fact it is made from the user's own energy.
The technique gives off a loud bell-like screech after being formed. The wind is thin and sharp enough to countless microscopic wind-blades that damage the body on a cellular level and cut a close-range opponent into pieces. The constant flow of wind is mainly used in order to block or deflect certain oncoming attacks in another direction somewhat like a tornado. The shield is basically coating their body with wind and expelling it out and molding it into a full body shield, which is a visable dome of wind that covers 360 degrees of the whole body from up down and all around and anyone caught in it other than the user will be severely injured.
Downside: This requires constant focus and the user can NOT physically attack while inside this barrier.
Name: Wind Levitation
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: This is a technique which Soran developed to manipulate the wind around him in order to give him the ability to fly and maneuver using the wind currents in mid-air by constantly emitting spiritual energy waves down towards the surface through his feet to lift and propel himself. The user raises their spiritual energy, and literally floats on top of it. As the user becomes more skilled, they can manuever through the air by increasing and decreasing the output and direction of their energy. The result of it is that the user manipulates their spiritual energy so that they can levitate or fly for any amount of time.
The wind based speed has a limit, as he cannot exceed the speed of the wind itself. However, his own speed more than makes up for this flaw. He can fly really high in the air so long as he has enough concentration and proper control by generating and controlling air currents around his body. While in flight, he is able to maintain complete balance. Soran mainly uses this technique for quick melee attacks in battle, often employing hit and run tactics, and flying away to avoid potentially dangerous situations. He can easily defend himself from long range as well.
Downside: While this gives him an advantage over slower ground based opponents, he can only fly as fast as the wind can take him.
Name: Energy Blasts/Beams
State: Both
Terms of usage: The user must charge the energy up before releasing it, the longer it is charged the more powerful it will become.
Description: This technique is blast that usually comes out of the palm of the user's hand. It can take many forms: a ray of energy, a glowing orb, or even a repulsion field that can block minor attacks. In essence, energy waves are a type of technique where their user utilizes an assortment of energy-based waves, cast from (but not limited to) their palms, feet, fingertips, eyes, body, or mouth. The color of the aura they emit varies between users. Soran's energy is a Crimson Red color.
To use it, the user starts by charging an energy sphere in their hand(s). Then, they draw their hand(s) forward and fire the energy sphere in the form of an energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage. This can also be formed when cupped hands are drawn to the user's side and the spiritual energy is concentrated into a single point between the cupped hands. The hands are then thrust forward to shoot out a streaming, powerful beam of energy. The blast can also be used, generally under extenuating circumstances, with just one arm or even the feet.
Downside: The crimson red energy charging up makes it obvious that the energy is being charged for some sort of attack. This allows Soran's opponent to prepair themselves before he even has a chance to unleash it.
Name: High-Speed Regeneration
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: High-Speed Regeneration allows Hollows to recover from any damage that they sustain by causing them to heal at an increased rate, closing the wounds on their body and causing any limbs that they have lost to grow back. Despite the many benefits that it provides, most Hollows choose to abandon the ability to regenerate when they become Arrancar, in exchange for a greater amount of power. However, Soran has decided to keep this ability even after his mask was taken off.
Downside: While High-Speed Regeneration is indeed a powerful ability, it is not without its flaws. Despite the extent to which it can heal the body, internal organs such as the brain cannot be regenerated; if such irreparable damage is sustained, the rest of the body can continue to regenerate, though to no avail. In addition, if the body is damaged before it has the chance to heal, or if enough damage is inflicted on it at once, then it can be destroyed.

Your Story:
Human Arc
Soran was an orphan whom was abandoned by his parents at the young age of 4 in Japan, he is unsure if this was his original place of birth, but he considers it to be his home. Soran was adopted by a master of combat, he was trained with Martial Arts and Swordsmanship at a very young age. Soran was trained for the next twelve years in the ancient sword style that is said to pit one against many. It is a sword art that is known as the White Lotus Style, passed down from master to apprentice for many generations. The one drawback to the style on a whole is that it is a physically demanding style, only a person of peak athletic ability is able to maintain it. Soran trained every single day in order to perfectly hone his abilities to the maximum capacity that he could obtain. Soran was even trained from a day to day basis in the art of fighting with a blindfold on, so in the slight chance that he was ever blinded in battle he would be able to have an acute sense of hearing and be able to ascertain an opponent's position when temporarily blinded and subsequently disarm him, kill the opponent, and then catch a sheath perfectly on his sword through sound alone.
However, he was killed when he was sixteen by gang members when he was swarmed by armed men. Soran fought to his best capibilities, but his body was shot multiple times with a pistol. His soul however, remained behind. Soran wandered the Earth alone for many years, until eventually he gave into the despair of being trapped on Earth after his Death. Thus, he transformed into a Hollow with a hole through his left foot.
Hollow Arc
Soran was now a pure Hollow with a hole in his left foot. He began to wander around the world and prey on human souls. This allowed him to gain power and become a far stronger individual. He wasn't completely mindless, as he continued to learn more and more about how he loved the power that he gained from the souls of humans. Eventually Soran met up with a group of cannibal hollows known as Menos.- Original Hollow Form:
[b]Gillian Arc
Soran soon began to crave the flesh of his fellow hollows. As he grew hungry, he began to devour them one by one. As this happened Soran seemed like only a mindless eater at first. Soran soon became an aware Gillian, preying on his fellow menos, until he reached the next stage in the evolution. Adjucha Arc
In this state, he was now far more powerful, a big threat to any shinigami that was not a seated officer. But soon after this transformation, he came in contact with an Arrancar named Ryu, whom had offered to train him in combat. As the years passed, Soran was not guided every step of the way by his new Master. Instead, he was made to find his own way, Ryu offering scant advice and instruction only when Sorrin found himself lost. Soran's new Master would never debate or enter into deep discussion with the boy. During the brutal training regimen, Soran was pushed to his limits, the physical tests he was subjected to bordered on torture, and many times, until one day he fell upon the brink of death. Ryu was impressed, because soon Soran would even be able to keep up with him. Soran had learned a mixture of Martial Arts. The first was had mastered was known as Muai Thai, then he discovered Capoeira. This was the style he had become most excited to learn. But soon, there was nothing left to learn frm Ryu.
Arrancar Arc
One day his training was complete, Soran had finally reached his maximum potential as an Abjucha. Ryu walked up to Soran and placed his hand firmly on the mask located on his face. Ryu ripped off the mask and transformed Soran into an Arrancar. With a smirk on his face, Soran killed then devoured his own Master and gained his power in order to wield his own Zanpakto known only as "Strength". Soran now wanders the land as a Rurouni Arrancar with no regrets about his life.Soran is now a traveler among the world, he walks in silence among the shadows. Not knowing who he truly is or why he has the abilities that he does, but regardless he honed his skills to their best capacity in order to achieve both enlightenment and balance with the world around him. Soran has demonstrated a depth of understanding that would seem to surpass his young appearance, such as knowing roughly what is going to happen in the future based on the actions and personalities of the people involved.
- Roleplaying Sample:
- Kento had just killed the moon spirit Yue and completely eliminated Waterbending from the face of the Earth. The skies were red from the unbalancing corruption upon the world that Kento himself had caused, Kento's favorite color was red so he loved it.
Avon had given him a mission, eliminate the Southern Water Tribe. Kento journeyed by turning his body into pure light and traveled at the speed of light directly to the Southern Water Tribe which was all the way across the world.
This took him less than a week to reach, there were only 200 soldiers left from Kaimu's alliance with Kyoko in which they split soldiers among each other. Kento had killed the old Southern Water Tribe leader and took his share of the soldiers to be added among his own army which was still in the Elemental Nations.
Kento appeared out of thin air in the middle of the Southern Water Tribe "My name is Kento! I am the one who killed Kaimu your old leader and destroyed the Northern Water Tribe! I have come here to kill you all!" Kento was suddenly surrounded by the last remaining 200 Southern Water Tribe soldiers. "You have brought about the destruction of the world and took away our bending! You are foolish to think that you could possibly take us on by yourself! Unlike the Northern Water Tribe, we do not rely on our bending so it was useless!" a soldier in wolf armor declared in anger, Kento drew the Buster Sword off of his back "Finally, a chance to use this thing. Too bad it couldn't be against anyone stronger" Kento said aloud as he was excited for the battle, he simply took a defensive stance and awaited their first move.
The man charged in anger at Kento's remark with a long sword made of bone, Kento used his master swordsmanship to slide down the blade with his Buster Sword and chopped the man in half. Kento looked at the sword as it had finally drew blood, and Kento's new personality liked it. Kento had grown up as an assassin for 4 years of his life, this was after he had killed his old master Yomado as a final test of his abilities for him to be free in the world.
Kento had killed many throughout his life, but something about his new personality made him enjoy it more than ever before. He hadn't been this happy since he killed the man who betrayed his father and got his home village destroyed. Kento looked up at the other 199 men standing around him, they were angry and Kento wanted to feed their anger "Come on! Come and get me you cowards!"
The men charged together, one after another Kento slew them easily with his Buster Sword. Kento killed them each by cutting a limb off, their blood soaked him along with the Buster Sword, his eyes thirsted for more blood. A soldier charged him with a spear, Kento cut the end of the spear off and hit the man in the gut which made the man move back with just a wooden stick. Kento felt with his seismic sense and felt that there were exactly 174 soldiers left alive.
Kento stuck the Buster Sword in the ground "Use brings about wear, tear and rust. Such a waist for a perfectly good weapon, wouldn't you agree?" Kento said in a mocking tone to the soldiers as he took his metal staff off of his back "Time for some fun" Kento said aloud with a small laugh. The soldiers looked at him. Some with pure anger and hatred, some with fear and some who were just annoyed. Kento stepped away from the Buster Sword and stood with his staff ready for anything, the men all charged at the same time and Kento smirked at their attempt to take his life.
Kento moved in a precise movement matching the soldier's speed blow for blow, he blocked everything coming his way and redirected their attacks back towards them with the sharp end of his staff and slit some of their throats and just whacked others away by hitting them in the head with the dull side. He continued to do this and was laughing as he did so. Suddenly, Kento saw that a man had taken his Buster Sword out of the ground and charged his recklessly at Kento. This angered Kento as he simply converted the weapon's structure into magma while in the soldier's hands before he reached Kento. Kento heard the sound of the man's pain and loved it. The soldiers now knew not to touch that sword or they would suffer his same fate.
Kento then Magma bended the buster sword the be in the ground like before and then converted it back into the special underworld steel it was made from while still holding his staff. Kento saw that there were now 126 soldiers left around him, they now surrounded him with shields and spears pointed at him. They were standing exactly 12 feet away from Kento and began closing in on him.
Kento took out his exploding shurrikans, lit then between his fingers with heat bending and threw exactly 28 of them at all the men surrounding him at high speed due to his doubled agility. They were blocked by the shields of course, but it blew them back away from Kento and destroyed the shields. Kento used this chance and made his fire scythe out of his staff and made the flame solid with lightbending. "Solar Flare!" Kento exclaimed as he made the sun rays emit a blinding light from Kento's body which would leave anybody looking at him temporarily blind. And with no shields, everybody surrounding Kento would not be blind for 5 minutes.
Kento light bended his body to turn into pure light and reappeared in the middle of the soldiers and began slaying them while he had the element of surprise on his side. He used his agility to slay them all quickly by cutting and burning their flesh. He continued this for 5 minutes strait until there was only a mere 75 soldiers left surrounding him. Kento knew if he continued to use the fire scythe any longer it could break so he stuck it in the ground next to his Buster Sword by the sharp end.
Kento then drew his Double-Bladed Katana "Huh, I haven't used this sword in awhile" Kento transfused lightning within the sword and charged the men armed with long swords. Kento once again used his master swordsmanship in order to slice up their bodies and stun them by getting shocked along with being cut, he dodged every attack they made towards him with a counter attack. He did this until there was only 50 men left that were armed with bone daggers.
Kento quit transfusing the lightning and sheathed his Katana and laughed as he saw that the last 50 men were the youngest in the tribe, he had killed all the oldest men there "Let's Go!" Kento demanded as he created his Chidori Beam: a beam of pure lightning that can reach up to 10 feet very quickly, which can cut through people and objects like a blade, and it is made solid with lightbending.
Kento was considered a High Lord when he created this technique, but he was now known as a Master so he created a 2nd one that he now held in his metal hand but made them both a simple 5 feet long beam. Kento used his fire jets to move quickly among the young warriors in a break dancing movement on the ground. So all together Kento was chopping men up with the Chidori Beam, slicing their throats with heated heel blades, and they were being blasted in the face by the fire jets.
Kento retracted the Chidori Beams and lowered himself while laughing at the last remaining 10 warriors who had pure fear on their face as they gazed upon the Blood soaked Kento under the red sky. Kento began laughing louder upon the scared look on their faces "You believed you could kill 'me'!?" Kento said to the young 10 warriors "I am the one who made the sky cry tears of blood! I made the sky bleed after I destroyed the source of waterbending! I have even slayed an undead dragon within the depths of hell! That is why they call me..." Kento extended his arm in a punch-like motion in order to create his Black Fire Dragon which now reached 30 feet long and Kento made it solid with lightbending "The Black Dragon!"
It wrapped its body around the 10 young boys and burned them alive, Kento then fire jetted himself in the air and controlled the Fire Dragon to burn the villagers alive along with destroying their homes and then made it explode in the middle of all the villagers. Kento then fire jetted himself to be in front of the sun, he was absorbing the energy from the sun in order to gather his energy in firebending. He then shot a GIANT ball of fire he made solid with lightbending and then made it explode.
Every surviving person was on fire, so they ran into the water in order to put it out. Kento laughed as he saw the survivors begin to swim away, so he simply gathered his lightning into a ball to create his Chidori and simply dropped it in the water. They all burned alive as the lightning ball conducted into everybody and everything in the water, Kento saw as all their bodies along with the bodies of dead fish floated to the surface.
Kento had succeeded in his mission, everybody here was dead and the Southern Water Tribe was no more. He lightbended his body to disappear and reappear by his staff and Buster sword. He picked them up, put them on his back then lightbended himself away and headed back to the Elemental Nations to meet up with his Master Avon. He was now more than a Master, he had taken down an entire tribe by himself, he was now an Elite Master.

Downside: A person with high awareness can distinguish the Afterimages from the original, since the images left behind do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.)
Name: Enhanced speed/agility
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: This is a high-speed movement technique, allowing Soran to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported or flickered away. It is accomplished by using wind to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. Soran is extremely skilled with both speed and agility which has caused some to mistakenly believe he can teleport, when in fact he is just moving very quickly. This incredible speed gives him an edge in battle against slower or close-range fighters.
Soran can enhance his movement in battle; he can run swiftly by decreasing air resistance around himself and even sprint across or run up vertical surfaces by generating a wind current behind himself to propel him forward. Soran has been shown using this to run many times faster than an average human and maintain this for very long periods, allowing him to travel long distances without gliding or jumping.
When used by a skilled wind user, this technique can enable Soran to travel at a speed almost too swift for the naked eye to be able to see properly. The constant movement required by this art makes Soran naturally flexible and agile. Even without wind manipulation he can easily maneuver around an opponent by ducking, jumping, and side stepping, appearing to flow around their opponents without expending any energy at all, letting the opponent tire themselves out and thus creating exploitable openings. This conservation of energy combined with high stamina gives them an advantage in prolonged combat. Due to such speed, he is able to scale right up the walls of buildings, or similar structures, and can also run right over water.
Downside: If running at full speed it will become harder to completely stop and cause Soran to skid on the ground.
Name: Wind Barrier
State: Resurrección
Terms of usage: Soran must unleash a massive amount of wind from his body or simply manipulate the surrounding wind current.
Description: Similar to an air shield, this powerful defense surrounds the user in a sphere of spinning air that deflects anything coming in at them, levitate across varied distances, and can even disintegrate the ground beneath them. The user can harness the surrounding wind currents to form a dome or full body barrier of wind in order to protect themselves from various oncoming attacks. However, under the spiraling wind is a dome of pure energy that can withstand most energy-based or elemental attacks depending on the strength and amount of force used in the attack. The durability increases as the user's power rises due to the fact it is made from the user's own energy.
The technique gives off a loud bell-like screech after being formed. The wind is thin and sharp enough to countless microscopic wind-blades that damage the body on a cellular level and cut a close-range opponent into pieces. The constant flow of wind is mainly used in order to block or deflect certain oncoming attacks in another direction somewhat like a tornado. The shield is basically coating their body with wind and expelling it out and molding it into a full body shield, which is a visable dome of wind that covers 360 degrees of the whole body from up down and all around and anyone caught in it other than the user will be severely injured.
Downside: This requires constant focus and the user can NOT physically attack while inside this barrier.
Name: Wind Levitation
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: This is a technique which Soran developed to manipulate the wind around him in order to give him the ability to fly and maneuver using the wind currents in mid-air by constantly emitting spiritual energy waves down towards the surface through his feet to lift and propel himself. The user raises their spiritual energy, and literally floats on top of it. As the user becomes more skilled, they can manuever through the air by increasing and decreasing the output and direction of their energy. The result of it is that the user manipulates their spiritual energy so that they can levitate or fly for any amount of time.
The wind based speed has a limit, as he cannot exceed the speed of the wind itself. However, his own speed more than makes up for this flaw. He can fly really high in the air so long as he has enough concentration and proper control by generating and controlling air currents around his body. While in flight, he is able to maintain complete balance. Soran mainly uses this technique for quick melee attacks in battle, often employing hit and run tactics, and flying away to avoid potentially dangerous situations. He can easily defend himself from long range as well.
Downside: While this gives him an advantage over slower ground based opponents, he can only fly as fast as the wind can take him.
Name: Energy Blasts/Beams
State: Both
Terms of usage: The user must charge the energy up before releasing it, the longer it is charged the more powerful it will become.
Description: This technique is blast that usually comes out of the palm of the user's hand. It can take many forms: a ray of energy, a glowing orb, or even a repulsion field that can block minor attacks. In essence, energy waves are a type of technique where their user utilizes an assortment of energy-based waves, cast from (but not limited to) their palms, feet, fingertips, eyes, body, or mouth. The color of the aura they emit varies between users. Soran's energy is a Crimson Red color.
To use it, the user starts by charging an energy sphere in their hand(s). Then, they draw their hand(s) forward and fire the energy sphere in the form of an energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage. This can also be formed when cupped hands are drawn to the user's side and the spiritual energy is concentrated into a single point between the cupped hands. The hands are then thrust forward to shoot out a streaming, powerful beam of energy. The blast can also be used, generally under extenuating circumstances, with just one arm or even the feet.
Downside: The crimson red energy charging up makes it obvious that the energy is being charged for some sort of attack. This allows Soran's opponent to prepair themselves before he even has a chance to unleash it.
Name: High-Speed Regeneration
State: Both
Terms of usage: This technique can be performed without any special terms or conditions.
Description: High-Speed Regeneration allows Hollows to recover from any damage that they sustain by causing them to heal at an increased rate, closing the wounds on their body and causing any limbs that they have lost to grow back. Despite the many benefits that it provides, most Hollows choose to abandon the ability to regenerate when they become Arrancar, in exchange for a greater amount of power. However, Soran has decided to keep this ability even after his mask was taken off.
Downside: While High-Speed Regeneration is indeed a powerful ability, it is not without its flaws. Despite the extent to which it can heal the body, internal organs such as the brain cannot be regenerated; if such irreparable damage is sustained, the rest of the body can continue to regenerate, though to no avail. In addition, if the body is damaged before it has the chance to heal, or if enough damage is inflicted on it at once, then it can be destroyed.
