King's EVO.I

Skills

GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER | Intriguingly enough, King's spiritual power has remained exactly the same over his span in Rukongai. Whether that speaks volumes of his potential even early on or raises questions about his ethic towards increasing it is purely debatable.

PRACTITIONER SWORDSMAN | King's discipline in the art of swordsmanship is noteworthy, but nothing to write home about.  Just as any shinigami, he has spent ample amount of time with his blade and feels comfortable enough to throw himself in battle against anyone of captain level.  However, his forte doesn't come from anything flashy, but instead his advanced understanding of the motion and timing of strikes via a blade and using it to his advantage.

MASTERFUL HAND-TO-HAND | When it comes to CQC, King truly shines in an unexpected manner.  While many would write off someone within his division in such a category, this captain clearly demonstrates an exception to the "fragile scientist" stereotype.  Combining his tribulations in Rukongai and his life beforehand, he truly embraces the style of an american brawler mixed with the oriental nature of the world he resides in.  Ferocious and unrelenting, King suffocates his opponent's space within efficient and quick strikes.  At times, they can even be cleverly unorthodox.

• AMERICAN PRIDE | Once more battling the fragile scientist stereotype, King possesses an unearthly amount of durability/endurance against attacks.  Heavy attacks or spiritual blows that are typically enough to incapacitate a normal target of his level inflict a lesser amount of damage to the shinigami and are reasonably shrugged off as a benefit to this valued trait.  In simple terms, King's able to withstand more than the average equivalent shinigami taichou.

MASTERFUL AGILITY | In terms of agility and speed, King sits among Seireitei's finest.  While surely not the quickest soul in Soul Society, his shunpo efficiency isn't to be taken lightly as he weaves around opponents.  That being said, a major point of his agility is his heightened reaction time.  King's prowess to respond to and view actions at an elevated rate go hand and hand with his perception.  Combining his physical and mental gifts, it gives King a competitive edge over his competition due his ability to adapt in less than a moment's notice.

MASTERFUL SPIRITUAL CONTROL | King's spiritual control is nearly absolute.  Unlike many who dedicate centuries of their lives refining their control, he totally bypassed such an immense amount of time.  As a testament to his own genius, he created a pill that decreased and plugged the leaks within his spiritual control, leaving him with it in a state that leaves little else to improve on. 

PERFECTED PERCEPTION | When it comes to knowledge, look no further.  There's no man smarter in Soul Society, the Mortal Realm, or even Hueco Mundo than King.  In combat, King's perception is alarming in that he's able to view and understand the function of abilities or releases by sight alone.  In the thick of battle, he can deduce tangibles from intangibles and see even the slickest of hoho users during their accelerated movement.

GENIUS INTELLECT | It goes without saying that King is a genius.  But for the sake of it, King is a genius.  Not only does he do genius-level things, but he has his own assortment of experimental creations that he weaves for the Gotei 13.  Whether if it's buffing pills, serums, actual devices, or clothing imbued with certain benefits, King compliments the Gotei 13 in some sort of way.  Nonetheless, he always saves his best works for his own private use unless the situation is dire.
