Shinigami

Cost: 5 SP

Required: Reiryoku (Bleach)

You may have died or maybe someone threw your soul outside your body severing your soul chain in the process. Whatever happened now you possess the power of Shinigami. You have bonded with an Asauchi, which will transform into your Zanpakutō when you gain the name of your inner spirit. You are also trained in the four core techniques of the Shinigami which are Zanjutsu, the art of sword fighting, Hakuda, unarmed combat, Hoho, mobility techniques and Kido, demon magic as well as in the art of Konsō, the process by which a Shinigami sends wandering Pluses in the Human World to Soul Society if they are good in life, or Hell if their life was full of evil acts. You are also extremely long lived, with some of the captains having lived for 1000 years. You have knowledge equivalent to a freshly graduated Shinigami, and have the potential to reach the level of captains and beyond.

(You can customize your Shikai and Bankai ability. Also you can customize the general appearance and personality of your Zanpakutō.)

12th Division

You have the knowledge of the various scientific wonders of the Soul Society. It includes the knowledge and ability to create tools to manipulate, expand or empower souls and spirit particles. You are well versed in creating Gigai or artificial bodies meant to contain souls, creating the Tenshintai that allows to rapidly unlock Bankai even by rookie Shinigami, fusing souls and physical objects together, creating Reiatsu amplifiers and limiters, creating gateways connecting different dimensions and even weapons that focus and expel spiritual energy on their own. However, the crux of your ability lies in the manipulation and creations of souls, making you a match for men like Urahara, Aizen, and Kurotsuchi. Provided you have the tools, it is entirely possible for you to craft new beings, like Mod-Souls and Bounts, from spirit particles, designed to your specifications. With sufficient time, you may very well recreate destroyed souls from its fragments and even surpass Urahara and Aizen by creating a perfect Hōgyoku.

Visored

As a Shinigami, you were infected by a Hollow, allowing you to gain some power from it. You are normally indistinguishable from ordinary Shinigami and are able to use all of normal Shinigami abilities. To use your hollow powers, you must don your Hollow mask. This augments your Shinigami abilities with Hollow powers, as well as giving you access to Hollow abilities like Cero. Your spiritual pressure likewise changes into a mix of Hollow and Shinigami. Normally, you have to fight your inner Hollow to use your powers, however your inner Hollow is quite cooperative allowing you to use your hollow abilities without any problems. This is incompatible with Arrancar add-on, due to varying starting race. You may select to become either an Arrancar or Visored depending upon your base race.

Kusanagi no Tsurugi

Your semblance and your Zanpakutō have fused together creating a power stronger than either of them without any of its component's weakness. As your Zanpakutō has fused with your semblance, you don't have an inner spirit (or you may elect to keep your inner spirit for it may have fused with your semblance and grown to a higher level), and are able to use your shikai without any requirement for release or name of your spirit. Your bankai is in the form of a second form/power up that you have and can enter into anytime as long as you have sufficient spiritual power/aura. Your first and second release as an Arrancar also follows this pattern, with you being able to use your first release/true form's powers and abilities in your humanoid form. Also you will be able to create swords akin to your Zanpakutō with your spiritual power and aura.

Weather Beaten One

You inherit Kenpachi Zaraki's power at his prime. Your mere presence is monstrously overwhelming, you have immeasurable spiritual power, and you can even use your Reiatsu as armor. You inherit Zaraki's physical ability, fighting talent, supreme natural skill, and his hyper-adaptability, which were enough to make him a War Factor despite having only a single day of formal training.

You are talented enough to whup two Captains without even knowing how to do Shikai or Bankai, fast enough to dodge a captain's blade already touching your skin, and strong enough that someone with the power to make imagination into reality literally couldn't imagine something you couldn't cut.

You also inherit Nozarashi as an alternative release, in both Shikai & Bankai forms.
