General Information

All information here has been provided by numerous people in this RP. I would like to thank them all. My reason for doing this is because I have not been able to update key things like Rules and division lists which has been bugging me for ages because it means they appear out dated to new people who join.

You are free to post new information just like before in this thread so don't be shy. This also keeps it tidy for the MOD's and i have talked to Zoey about this too. Thank you all and i hope its ok.

((Please note i have updated this Kidou list with more from the Manga and have also added in a few rules on Kidou, these rules are the unspoken rules that have been used before now anyway i am simply putting them into words so that new RP's know what to do and Close combat Users don't feel completely outclassed when a Kidou user fires off quick sucession of attacks. This is something that i have been frequently asked to see to and update so i am sorry it has taken time but as is everyone there are things to be done. I hope i can get everything in order with time. Also note that Ranks and Seats refer to the RANK chart not a division rank or seat.))

Kidou Information

Kidou Rules:

Ok lots of talk on this so i was dwelling on it all of today at work and thats why i have updated this list.

What is Kidou: Kidou (Demon Magic) Is the summoning of a second energy form by use of Reiatsu, chants and symbols. The summoned energy can take the form of various powers, mostly it is elemental or physical manifestations i.e. Fire balls -> huge swords falling form the sky. Kidou is split into three parts, raw, Destructive and Binding. Raw is simply raw Kidou in its untamed state there is not much use for it unless the person is a highly skilled Kidou user. Destructive Kidou is simply kidou that destroys things. This takes the form of blasts, or AOE spells where the spell destroys what it hits or is captured within. Binding Kidou is as stated Kidou that binds. It takes on various forms including Elemental types and physical types. The primary power of Binding Kidou is not to kill the opponent but to suppress their movement or their powers leaving them defenceless.

First the time taken to learn spells: All spells unless other wise stated take at minimum 4 days of RL study to complete. After level 50 the spells require 7 RL days to complete after level 70 they take 14 RL days to complete and 90+ as well as Taichou level abilities takes RL 4 weeks of study to complete. In each of these cases another 1 week RL time is required of training before a spell can be used without Chant. You can cast lvl 90 spells as long as you have Kidou in your top three BUT for each rank down from top it will take you another week to learn the spell so a lvl 90 spell which you would have to be a Taichou to learn anyway will take someone who has Kidou in their third Rank position it would take 6 weeks to learn and another 3 weeks to master (RL time scale)

Also note that lvl 60+ spells can only be mastered by a seated shinigami up until lvl 80 which can only be mastered by a seated shinigami of 3rd seat or above and have Kidou in their top 3. ((Seated refers to RANK CHART seats.)

Secondly Multi Casting: This was first properly noted in the bleach manga not so long ago and was classed as an Officer rank ability requiring the caster to chant two spells laced together so that they end at the same time and fired in short succession. For this reason to begin with you must have Kidou in your TOP 3 RANKS, then you must also be on 4th seat in the RANK'S CHART to use this ability.

Thirdly Number of Spells cast in a post: This has changed with time and with questions asked and points made so i have kinda jumbled all the ideas together.

1st: if you have Kidou and Speed in your top 3 Rank skills OR have Shynpou (top three total of points for Students) You can move and cast in one post.

2nd: The Multi Casting rule above. You can move before you cast but not after. Also it is draining as you have just used double your Reaitsu in one go with heightened concentration.

3rd: Chanting obviously the longer the chant the less you will be able to do in a post. For this reason chants if a caster must chant a spell (meaning they have not mastered it enough to do it without chant or it is not strong enough etc.) the move and cast only rule applies.

4th: If the chant is over lvl 50 it will take 2 posts to chant but you can still move in this time until the chant ends and you must aim and fire or what ever is necessary for movement.

Please note that some spells require to be stationary or in deep concentration to cast. For this reason obviously the above rules do not apply, always do as stated by the spell if your not sure then observe these above rules as a guide. Remember you can still move unless otherwise stated so don't think that you are being out done by close combat fighters. Using Kidou is a tactical fighting style where you must outwit your opponent, if you don't think you can manage this i would suggest choosing something other than Kidou as your characters main three abilities.

((Thanks to Yachiru)) Figured that it's overdue to mention the fact that, in fact!, the Fourth Division does have its own set of Kidou specifically meant for medical purposes. Now, I've never put a lot of stock into this, because to be honest, it rarely comes to a point where it's necessary to use a Kidou of this sort, but I'll put a couple down here, namely the two I've openly used so far. I'll expect people like Nin and Bops to hit me up with some they've thought of, since they'll at least be active with them - so you two, let me know! FOURTH DIVISION MEMBERS: You will almost immediately be taught Kidou 6, as it requires very little reiatsu control on the whole, so be aware of this.

((Thanks to Zoey and OD-Funk))Okay so, EVERYONE READ THIS PLEASE, this is for everyone to understand that us people less fortunate of using alot of Kidou, and Reiatsu buffed attacks, actually have some sort of power.. when in a fight, I've seen it happen a few times, someone uses a sword technique which should actually have affect, and said opponent shrugs it off, as if it doesn't happen.

Due to Axel using Phyiscal based attacks, I know many people, wouldn't take his great skill and power in this area into account, as it isn't rated in the SS level charts.. unfortunately, this makes fighting for me, and others like me, very hard at times, and somewhat Biased, so I'm going to post up, every physical based attack ,Axel knows, has mastered, and uses, ALOT while fight.

Point Break: An Attack based on the raw physical power of the users muscles, he or she, builds up tension in his upper body, before exerting it through the tip of the blade in a single strike, the power of this attack, increases your weapon jabs damage, DRAMATICALLY, cutting through most things, even Zanpaktou if the opponents ability in Zanjutsu, and general attacking power is inferior, the initial hit of the attack, also, isn't a straight forward pulse of energy, it's an area of affect, meaning, even if it is blocked succesfully, the shock of the great force exerted, damages, and cuts, the opponents arms, basically, if you want to avoid taking no damage from this, dodge it.

Shock Strike: A sword technique, it takes a long time to learn, but once mastered, it becomes the wielders normal base attack, each slash of the users blade, sends out a pulse of energy, damaging muscle fibers, cutting the skin, and even damaging organs, it's power is gauged by the ammount of physical power and force the user can dish out, so someone at the level of Kaisen, would only be able to cut the opponents skin, where as Axel would bust your lungs open, damage from this is unavoidable, you cannot completely block it, you can block it so the damage caused is minimal, and but a single scratch, IF you're that good, BUT , like point break, if you want to avoid all damage, you must dodge.

Pulse Wave: the 'combination' of both Shock strike, and point break, building up tension in the upper torso, Axel slashes outwards with his sword, releasing this tension into a concerntrated outlet of kenetic energy, it's unseeable, being kenetic energy.. but, it eventually distrupts air and such, becoming a visible fluxuation, it's damage is high, you can try and block, but it's affects will break through, it damages the innards, and the outer skin of the opponent, cutting at the body like a steak knife, like the other two.. the only way to truely stop damage from it, is to dodge.

These are basically the only moves people might of payed little to no attention to during a fight, due to Axel just incorporating them into his normal attacks, and not making much description of them... I shouldnt need to have to describe them for every swing I make. he has alot more, but i usually give them a description, as they're far more complicated.

Zoey might want to add a few moves to this also, as I remember she has a few similar to those mentioned above.. people may not pay much attention to.

Okay this list took a bit to construct, but they are all attacks I have done and kept in the back of my mind with the intention of formally posting them like this. Also, some of the dojo houses are ones that I think would be helpful and easy to build on while providing a few selections of zanjutsu styles. All houses and styles exist within the dojos if anyone had ever cared to learn or join they would have learned a few of these forms by now. Please remember none of them require reitsu. They have their strengths and weaknesses and as mentioned above, reitsu or kidou is not a neccessity to bypass an attack or simply dismiss it. There is a vast range of ways to go about this without 'flaring' up to win.

ok, so im gonna try to elaborate on axel, and kaisens fighting style so everyone understands it a bit better.
the atacks are kinetic raw power, so some people aer confused by how they work, understandably so.

Right, The way it works, the Attack isn't actually there, there is no energy, no nothing, it's just a release of pure physical movement, and hemped up power, Axels and Kaisens muscles are so strong, so well trained, because of the way they fight, and their styles, they have actually evolved to a point where if they tense these muscles.. long enough, and center the energy build up on apart of their body (hands, feet, sword, etc) the release is so strong it actually amplifies our movements, so a kick is no longer just a kick, the force that drives through with it, actually leaves the body, and travels outwards, taking on the form of whatever we have used for it, a sword, it'll be sharp, a punch, blunt, etc etc, there is no attack actually there, it's just raw powerful shock. just a very very strong vibration. you can stop the damage you take from it by putting up barriers.. cutting it with your sword.. but you can't slow it down, nor can you fully 100% block it. The only way to avoid all damage from it, is to dodge it.

the fighting style was made to fight Bankai users, without going into Bankai, it's not just an attack, it also increases speed using the same principles. Although, its not so much for hohou.

another thing i wanted to put out there, is the difference between hohou, and fighting speed.

Many people don't understand, hohou, is basically running speed. or ability to get out of the way of an attack. Your speed in battle, is gauged by your skill in that catagory. so for instance; in a hand to hand fight, if one fighter is an excellent hakuda user, and has hohou as their weakest skill, the'd still be able to block or even close quarters dodge(leaning to one side or the other, yet not moving their feet, or moving them only a little.) very quickly. since hohou has no effect in close quarters combat.

If im wrong in anything i've posted here, please feel free to correct me, GM's, or taichou's, or anybody, who see's an error in what i've said. We all make mistakes, if i have, i'd like to be corrected.
