techs for enki

MODERATE SPIRITUAL POWER| Enki is one above the rest with spiritual power. Perhaps he's not the strongest, but one could easily mistake him for a seated Shinigami with the amount of spiritual pressure he can release.

WEAPON USE EXPERT| Thanks to the nature of his shikai at the beginning and near the end of it's training, Enki has had to train rigorously to hold up against those around him. Enki has no signature style, but rather it seems to be akin to a generic asian sword style, utilizing both hands.

PRACTITIONER HAND TO HAND| While Enki learned much through training with swordplay, he learned very little with fistfighting. While he could still beat someone to a pulp back in the academy, his rough street-style probably doesn't hold up to the experts in the fisticuffs.

EXPERT AGILITY| Enki's fighting style requires him to always be moving, and never stationary. This has led up to this state, in which his ability to jump around his opponents and quickly dodge oncoming strikes has gotten to the point that he could say he's almost mastered it. 

PRACTITIONER SPIRITUAL CONTROL| While Enki knows how to decently control how his reiatsu wavers and goes against him, in no way is he all that proficient with Kido or even most other reiroyku techniques. 

EXPERT PERCEPTION| From a lot of battle-hardened fights, Enki has grown accustomed to that 'second sense' that has slowly become more and more evident. This second sense is akin to a momentary lapse in time that he can feel potential danger, which could be anything from a sword towards his spine to a hand into his skull. However, it does give him enough time to dodge or block, which is nice.

[オールドカープ]
Ōrudokāpu

Ōrudokāpu, or Old Carp, is the name of Enki's Zanpakuto. The name fits the Zanpakuto perfectly, in the spiritual sense that is. The spirit takes it's form as an old grey carp, which has heavy eyes and floats lazily along the water of an Island. It speaks through the water in a heavily stuttered voice, and is rather slow and contemplative about everything. The Carp acts as if it is about to die of old age, which would not be too far of a stretch if it was a real carp.

The island which the carp swims around is an unnamed and unspecified one. It is heavily populated by bamboo, however it has no signs of life, not even bugs. High trees stand above the bamboo, and the sun in the sky always beams down heavy rays of heat which would drown even those who live in the hottest of climates to shelter.

The Zanpakuto itself takes it's form as a regular red-hilted katana of average length without any sort of differentiation on it's own behalf. It has not really different outside of the fish inscribed in the hilt, which weaves around the blade.

Ōrudokāpu, upon release, emits a huge jet of water which consumes the blade, increasing it's length and size to that of a claymore with a huge thick blade and a single gun-esque barrel on the top of it. The blade's curve becomes more predominant, and it becomes more bulky. To attain this release, Enki must say the release phrase, which is "Wade the Waters".

SPLASH| Splash is the one and only technique that Enki has learned from his spirit, and this in itself took many, many months of simply watching him swim, which the carp did very little of. Splash is executed through a violent jet of water being shot from the barrel, which then curves around the blade, covering it in a second blade of sorts. This blade can be released with a swing of the sword, and thus retains a shape similar to a crescent while it travels. Because splash is the only technique that Enki has learned, he has managed to perfect it, meaning that it is incredibly powerful in itself, allowing him to sever arms, legs, and even cut torsos in half thanks to the high pressure of the technique itself.
