PROFICIENCY & TALENTS

[GREAT SPIRITUAL PRESSURE]
As the former lieutenant of the Second Division and after gaining Bankai, Kyoko now possesses considerable amounts of spiritual power. It is now colored a stainless white, laced with a golden edge. While others reiatsu mostly appears as flame-like and untamed, Kyo's is more of a liquid, smooth and flowing like waves in a tranquil sea. When released it is thick and spirals around her person, like a pet cherishing its mistress. While most reiatsu auras radiate away from their masters in search of enemies to oppress and destroy, Kyo's reiatsu keeps close to her, only lashing out when its mistress commands it do so explicitly. And, due its thickness and the sudden impact, this attack is the more devastating when in comparison to someone who maintains a crushing aura at all times.

[SPIRITUAL CONTROL]: EXPERT
Having gained quite a knack for this since her academy days, Kyo is able to easily hide her spiritual pressure to it's fullest. This also allows her very good control of her kido techniques, needing fine control of her spiritual power to do so. She has found that only spiritual beings with the highest amount of perception can find her when she is totally hidden from sense and sigh alike.

[KIDO]: EXPERT
Although not a master, Kyo is very well versed with kido. Showing the skill to be able to take on those of her own level within this branch and below, with mostly good results. The kidou she does know, and uses well to full effect against foes, trapping them, and thus making them very easy prey for her zanpakuto and it's abilities. Thanks to her fine skill with kido, Kyo has been able to use and learn both Eishōhaki (詠唱破棄, Incantation Abandonment) and most recently Nijū Eishō (二重詠唱, Twofold Incantation), however for the time being things such as spoken-after incantations are beyond her ability.

[PERCEPTION]: EXPERT
Always having been one to be curious, it's not surprising that Kyoko is able to tell lie from truth. This perception also widely extends to the battlefield, and allows Kyo to pick up on her opponents skills and how they work very quickly. Able to work out what kind of power and spiritual power is used just after seeing the skill used around three times, Kyo is a quick thinker and always tries to think ahead for everything. Although it doesn't always work, that doesn't matter. With the help of her unique ability synesthesia, Kyo never hesitates when aiming to catch a foe off guard. And those who can get past her keen eye? Well they are beings to be highly respected.

[HAKUDA]: EXPERT
Not a master, but very close to it. Kyoko has been fighting thugs off for a long as she can remember, fighting from her early days in Rukongai and through her academy days as well. Kyoko is very well versed when it comes to Hakuda. Showing skill enough to dispatch other lower ranking members of the division with ease. Her stances and forms are solid, combined with her excellent shunpo skills, it makes this Lieutenant a tough one to beat when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. Kyo tends to mostly use hakuda within her fights, only using her zanpakuto when she things the situation calls for it and thus not right away.

[AGILITY]: EXPERT
Like many would expect of someone within the Second Division, Kyoko is faster than most, however not quite up there with the masters. When not using shunpo or running, she can be seen using a wide range of acrobatic movements. Which not only help in battle, but to travel vast distances if the use of shunpo is not needed/required/usable at the time. Unlike most, she is on the higher end of her control over Hoho and general speed, nearly matching a Captain's but not quite. Daily she works on improving this, knowing she can do far better as time goes on, and she fully plans to improve on this as her powers grow.

[ZANJUTSU]: EXPERT
As one would expect of a shinigami, they have a natural bond with a sword as most of the time their zanpakuto is a part of that. This is no different for Kyoko either, although not a master of such a weapon, that doesn't mean she can't be deadly with a blade. Despite preferring the use of hakuda, when needed she will use a blade. Able to perform precises and swift strikes, and with the aid of her hoho skills this is only improved. Despite this, she knows she is not the best at zanjustu. But still on par with the average Lieutenant. With regards to her strength due to main trails and harsh times as a child, despite her height and appearance. Kyoko packs a mean punch, and is by no means lacking when it comes to brute strength, and thus when needed against others she can be quite ruthless.

[FUNDOJUSTU]: EXPERT
Fundojustu is the art of wielding a chain or multiple chains at once. Due to her Zanpakuto's power, over the years Kyoko has become extremely proficient with using these chains. Although mostly done by mental command, they can be used by one's hand if need be. However only Kyoko is able to use these weapons within her hands, due to the poison they hold hurting all others apart from it's wielder. Kyo tends to wield these chains in a similar manner to that of a Kusarigama, however being that she is in control of more chains that her hands can hold. Kyoko's use of these chains change on an almost minute by minute basis, in which she adapts to her current situation and opponent's skill level. Much like when wielding a blade, she can be ruthless at times, however with this, her destructive power seems to be much more potent than previously shown.

[ASSASSIN]: MASTER
From her day's training with Siam, to her time when starting in the Nibantai to the present day, Kyoko has trained fully in the art of stealth. Kyo from years of work now much like instinct knows where to strike on any opponent regardless of species to land a killing blow in one hit, as well as where to hit to stop a target from moving/knocking them unconscious. Kyoko can and knows how to hide her physical presence and sight to such extent, that even her normal movements on a daily basis seem to make no sound, like a ghost or if she was floating on the air itself. Also being able reduce things such as her own body heat to an almost nanoscopic level, allowing her to sneak up upon even the most well prepared of foes.

[MARKSMAN]: MASTER
Trained from a young age as a soul, there isn't much that Kyoko can't hit when using any kind of firearm weapon. Kyo over the years of usage and self-training has become a master among those who uses guns as their weapon of choice. Able to hit most if not all/any kind of target no matter the distance or precise aim. This is aided by her Synesthesia ability, allowing her to shoot down targets that other master's would not even be able to dream of doing. You can be sure, if you give Kyo a gun and a target, she won't miss.

[HEALING KNOWLEDGE]: EXPERT
Thanks to her time within the Yonbantai, Kyoko has gained and kept up with good medical knowledge. Although she was not there long enough to learn any kind of healing kido techniques, she was able to grow in other areas. Being able to determine a wound from a simple glance, the best way to treat it, and if the wound(s) are life threatening or not. From this she carries various medical supplies on her, supposedly gathered and given to her by the Yonbantai members.

TECHNIQUES & ITEMS

[SYNESTHESIA]
Having gained this unique ability from a horrible experience just before joining Shino Academy. Kyo is what would be classified as a Synesthete. She is able to see the world in colors unlike other spiritual or human beings. Giving each person a color in relation to the meaning to her. With this it allows her sight beyond the normal shinigami, as well as being able to tell who is friend of foe from this. This ability also intensifies the senses, allowing her reactions/reflexes to be enhanced to the point of being able to dodge small objects like a bullet, throwing knives etc. Also allowing her to sense or perceive things that normal shinigami or humans would not, thus making her The nerves within Kyo's brain become highly active during such a time that she uses this, not only seeing the world in color, but coding when she chooses to (at her own will). With such coding she can break past most electronic defenses on electric objects (computer, database, phone, passwords for devices etc.), simply by focusing on the desired object for a few seconds. There are two drawbacks to this, one very major. If this power is overused, Kyo will after such a time no longer be able to see things in color nor use her Synesthesia ability at all. This as an effect slows her reaction times to below normal, for a minimum of at least two days; longer if put in greater strain. The signs of being overused are most commonly bad headaches and total loss of sight for a short time. The second is that thanks to her heightened senses, Kyoko cannot deal with any overly bright lights (such as looking towards the sun, large explosions of power that is white), or sounds. As they take effect on her body, leaving her unable to move for a short time.

[SHUNKŌ (瞬閧, FLASH WAR CRY)]
Shunkō is the highest form of Hakuda technique. It is an ultra-powerful technique in which one drives Kidō into one's arms and legs. The Kidō itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from the body. By concentrating Shunkō around a particular area of their body, a practitioner can prevent attacks from damaging or piercing this area. Shunkō depending on the user, comes in various elements. Kyoko having found her element as ice, thus when using Shunkō the ground below her freezes, the temperature also dropping when her Shunkō is in use.

[HADŌ #33 SŌKATSUI (蒼火墜, BLUE FIRE, CRASH DOWN)]
Blue flames discharge from the palm. The practitioner aims the palm of his/her hand at their target and generates a torrent of blue energy before firing it at their target. The energy moves like a direct blast or a large wave of energy, depending on the amount of power which is placed into it. Depending on the user's proficiency with the technique, it can damage an opponent's Bankai.

[HADŌ #73 SŌREN SŌKATSUI (双漣蒼火墜, TWIN LOTUS BLUE FIRE, CRASH DOWN)]
An advanced form of Hadō #33. Sōkatsui, it has twice the effectiveness. Generating blue energy with his/her index and middle fingers, the practitioner makes a pushing motion with both of his/her palms to push the gathered energy toward the target in a concentrated blast. It is essentially a doubled version of Hadō #33. Sōkatsui because the user fires two bursts of blue energy with much greater potency than the single shot variety.

[BAKUDŌ #61 RIKUJŌKŌRŌ (六杖光牢, SIX RODS PRISON OF LIGHT)]
Pointing his/her index finger at the target, the practitioner generates a spark of yellow energy, which summons six thin, wide beams of light that slam into a target's midsection and hold them in place. The target is unable to move any part of their body, including the parts which were not struck by the beams. This technique can be used after using Bakudō #4. Hainawa because the six beams of light form from the light already created by Bakudō #4. Hainawa.

[BAKUDŌ #81 DANKŪ (斷空, SPLITTING VOID)]
A defensive wall is created to protect against an enemy's attack. The practitioner creates a translucent barrier in the form of a large rectangular wall. According to 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, it can stop Kidō-based attacks with power up to level 89.

[CUSTOM BAKUDŌ: SHIZUKANA KAGAMI (サイレントミラー, SILENT MIRROR)]
A custom Bakudō created by Kyoko herself, having wanted to find a way to conceal objects on her person. By reflecting and bending light around the desired object, it allows the user to totally conceal and hide that object from view, even when being used by it's wielder in any form be it non-combat or during battle. So far up to three objects can be concealed at one time, however the more used, the more strain it puts on the user. Kyoko commonly using this to make her own Zanpakuto seem invisible for as long as she wishes to sustain the kido, which comes in very handy for sudden attacks.

[SLING BAG]
The most useful item that Kyoko keeps with her, this light brown bag is what carries most everything she takes with her, be it equipment or person items, something that is always inside the bag is a small amount of medical supplies which are normally used to aid others. The bag itself holds a zip on the right side for easy access, said bag normally thrown across Kyo's shoulder, the straps going across her upper body, the rest of the bag resting against her back. Despite the easy to use and rather tight straps attached to the back, it has been known for the bag to be torn off during Kyo's fights.

[BERETTA PX4 STORM]
Kyoko's main weapon of choice, which she always carries with her, even when as a Shinigami, although during such a time it remains hidden within her robes. The gun, the last gift she was given by Siam, whenever used Kyo cleans the weapon on a weekly basis. Modified without any manual safety on the weapon, Kyo stating that it wouldn't be a good idea for others to try and use such a weapon that was always locked & loaded. When carrying the weapon, Kyo always keeps at least three magazine cartridges on her person ... just in case. In either form or world, Kyoko has shown to use this weapon with deadly accuracy and is not to be underestimated when she's holding a gun to your head, if she doesn't like you? Well, she'll shoot. Although this weapon only works on those with low spiritual pressure, Kyo still seems to be make the best use of this weapon, used mostly as a distraction on those with higher spiritual pressure.

[SPIRITUAL PRESSURE CONCEALING CLOAK]
A cloak normally only used when travelling to Hueco Mundo. The clock covers Kyoko's entire body, including a hood to cover her facial features as well. The item is specially designed to hide all and any traces of spiritual pressure until the user chooses to no longer do so, making them seem to the common eye that they are similar to a human. Or someone with the spiritual pressure of an academy student if one's perception is overly high. This is also useful for carrying extra items, holding various pockets inside for Kyo's use.

[SUGAR STICKS]
Unlike many seem to think when they see these, no they aren't cigarettes not in the slightest. In fact, they're sugar sticks, although Kyoko never talks about it, nor does she really need them it relates back to her past. Siam having given them to her when she was training, so it's become a habit of hers. She takes at least a pack of them wherever she goes, and two if she's visiting the world of the living, no one seems to know where she gets them from. Nor will she tell them, after all why would Kyo want anyone to take her favorite little snack away from her? These sticks are quite sweet and highly addicting once you start on them, but Kyo doesn't care.

[BLACK TANTO]
One of Kyoko's most well used weapons besides her Zanpakuto, this tanto is a pure black reflecting no light. The blade itself is eight inches long, the handle ten inches and only just big enough to allow the user to hold it with one hand. Kyo holds the weapon in a reverse-grip style, allowing for quick slashes and back attacks.
