Sexta Espada skills

MASTER SWORDSMAN| Six swords encompass the mans hands at full and complete battle ready. Each one held between a set of two fingers on each hand, all in al forming what appears to be a 'lions paw'. Not only is this feat difficult, but he's yet to meet anyone with the same prowess among this many blades. Having this understanding it's easy to assume that being a master of six blades is but a mere taste of what he can do with one. The muscle memory implanted from his time among the living, and the decades he's spent honing these, are but a fraction of work he's put into mastering all that it is about his Zanpakuto. Each blade is but a extension of himself, flowing elegantly and beautifully, striking down without rhyme, reason, or hesitation. Even the God King is impressed with his swordsmanship. Or so he likes to believe.

HAND TO HAND EXPERT| Years he would hole himself up and practicing, both in his standard Arrancar form and then his ressurection form, has built up a sort of muscle memory on how to properly handle fights using his hands. While he is, in no means the greatest Hueco Mundo has to offer, he's more than capable of holding back an onslaught of even the best of Captain ranked or below. Don't be afraid to resort to going hand to hand with him though, even one of his rank is permitted to make mistakes.

MASTERED AGILITY| Lifetimes have been spent honing his muscles and swiftness. Even when he was a human his attacks were some of the quickest, and it only amplified as a hollow. While Ao is not one to brag, he is by all considerations, among the fastest - if perhaps not the fastest - in all of Hueco Mundo. He frequently confides in Anne about having a race sometime, though, is never truly serious. Even in acts such as acrobatics he is seemingly perfect in all he does, even if the armor he wears is sometimes a pain, it almost looks as if he does it effortlessly. Many tell stories that when you face off against the sixth Espada you'll be shaking the devils hand before the sand underneath his feet is even kicked up. ----

GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER| Like every Espada, Lan's spiritual pressure is far above the rest of those beneath him, comparable to that of a captain, and enough to crush many fraccion beneath its weight. While it's not as strong as those above him (Cero to Quatro), it holds enough weight in on itself to evenly hold its own against their crushing weight. However, unlike them, he isn't one to use it when comparing dick sizes, rather a usual means of intimidation to those obviously beneath him that he wishes to 'spare.'

EXPERT SPIRITUAL CONTROL| Like all, he too has shown weakness in certain fields. Control of his spiritual pressure being that very one. While he possess a large pool of it, crushing many down beneath it's 'thumb' he finds it difficult to wield it effortlessly like he does his blades. While he can still turn the great sea down into a lake, his control of it sometimes fluctuates when he's concentrating on other things. Thus far he has only shown a amptitude of hiding his reiatsu and using it to crush others like a massive wave. Unlike the God King he is a mere child in the grand schemes and ideas that make up spiritual control.

EXPERT PERCEPTION| The "Lion eyes" he calls it. When one moves as fast as he does, even the tiniest grain of sand needs to be seen and accounted for; even if he sometimes fails to do so. Being an Espada level arrancar he's capable of sensing the reiatsu level of most people equal, and most definitely, lower than him, even if they try to hide it. That's not to say his readings are always accurate, as there exists those capable of hiding it beneath his means, but for the most part it is true. Using his eyes muscles and reflexes are commonly scene, like a feline hunting its prey, watching and waiting for it to move so it can strike. Both sides - even the one with the eye missing - has been honed to pick up the slightest of sounds from at least up to a mile away. Sneaking up on him is difficult, but possible.

TECHNIQUES:

CERO| Opening his mouth, a small orb the color of the shimmering sea forms. Though small and condensed at first, one it is fired it expands greatly, encompassing several meters wide and a mile in length. The force alone is enough to destroy buildings utterly and damage captain level shinigami and below.

GRAN RAY CERO| By biting his own tongue and mixing his blood, he's able to turn a natural cero into one much deadlier. At first the Gran Ray is visibly indifferent to the Cero, that is except for the lightning that dances across the orb like a small child. However, as it charges, the size and light it emits increases greatly. When fired it has the power of a regular cero and far, far more. Size, speed, and strength are increased leaving this to be one of his deadly abilities outside of Resurrection.

CERO RUGIDO[Zero Roar]| Using his hands or fingers to flick the hilt of his zanpakuto from his sheathe, he's capable of causing a massive explosion of pure spiritual energy around him in a 25 meter radius. The explosion itself has the destructive force of a cero, though if his hand that removes the blade is covered in blood, the attack holds the strength of a gran ray.

BALA| Opening his mouth he's able to fire off, in rapid succession like a chain gun, hundreds of bala. While considerably weaker than his cero, the natural destruction of force of sheer numbers is not to be underestimated.

HIERRO| While not the most effective technique to those with admirable strength, it serves as a second layer skin defense. Ao's armor - the bone plating of the armor and body itself - are designed to take brutal amounts of punishment of those he's on equal levels with. Using this he's capable of taking a copious amounts of hits and can react to being knocked into buildings or into the Earth as if nothing had happened at all.

Resurrección:

ZANPAKUTO NAME: Garras de León (シ ししケツ ゴウ Kanji for Lion's blood claws, spanish for Lion's claws)
ZANPAKUTO FORM: Garras comes in the form of a regular looking katana, totaling six equal looking blades, all equally powerful and each one all considered his zanpakuto. Each blade is 30 CMs long (1 1/4 foot) and have can slice through most objects like butter with Ao's enhanced strength. The hilt of each is beautifully crafted, each one depicting, like their sheathes, a triumph Ao has overcome in his time as well as exhibiting a deep cerulean jewel at the hilts base.
RELEASE PHRASE: "Claim thy pride, Garras De León"
RELEASE FORM:: One Ao speaks the release, the blades turn into what appears to be pixilated spiritual energy that he then absorbs through his maw. Gathering the massive amount of particles his body contorts, muscles bulging outwards awkwardly and facial expression exhibiting pain. Seconds later a sea colored tower of energy shoots forth from under him, consuming him in it's glory. When the light subsides Ao stands in his new form, smoke rising from his body. Where Ao's hair was is now replaced with a deep and rich blue colored mane, shaggy around the neck and extends down to his mid back. The remnants of his his mask that lined his nose seem more prominent now, snout slightly elongated and feline canines jutting forth from his mouth, though not awkwardly like you'd expect. Around his eyes is the same familiar striking color of his mane, and equally so, on his backside now rests a tail of the same color, thin yet long. Covering most of his body is the same bone like structure exhibited on his armor, pure white like the uniforms given to him by the God King, though the areas from his elbows and knees down have been replaced with blue fur. Ao's muscles are more profound, though his bulkiness is far from unattractive. Lastly his ears have grown larger, more round and retain the rich blue that his fur possess, as well as both his hands and feet turning into paws similiar to those of a lion yet more designed for human use.

CERO CONSUMIR [Zero consume] | Opening his mouth like usual, he's able to consume and store the next cero used on him. Using this ability he's able to add it's effects (i.e. spacial distortion) to his next cero, while including the damage on top of his as well. The limit for this ability is situational as he's only able to physically store so much energy, especially from those stronger than himself.

HUELGA BENDITO [Blessed Strike]| Sacrificing his weapon to gain this form, now using his hands and feet instead, he's able to transfer great portions of his energy into them. Using the padding, or when he strikes one with the paws on either his hands or feet, he's able to transfer this energy onto them in the form of an explosion. Being that the attack is his own it does not effect him. The damage is enough to remove limbs, cause immense amount of burn based damage and can even kill if the person is weak enough, or hit enough.

LA TEMPESTAD DE LEON [Lion's Tempest]| Is Ao's strongest move, and one he uses only when the opponent has earned his respect and recognition. Gathering any remaining energy in his hands/paws Lan Shi forms a sword nearly twenty feet long behind him. Using his full strength, along with the complete and utter destructive force of the blade, he swings it at his opponent. The explosion has a radius of one mile both outwards and upwards and the destructive force is enough to not only kill captain class and below, but also has the potential to completely obliterate them should they take a direct hit. Even those stronger than him are not safe in it's wake, able to maim, severely wound, potentially kill, or dismember them should they become too careless as well. Once this ability is complete he loses his ability to hold his ressurection any longer, returning back to the normal arrancar and retaining his six blades, unable to turn back until he is rested.
