BART'S STUFF

SKILLS

EXPERT SWORDSMANSHIP: The way Bartolomew manipulates his wrist and body to co-ordinate with swords isn't very strong but it's incredibly hard to perceive, it's speed and direction is constantly changing. Whilst most stick a certain style or claim they've got the most diverse set of sword styles Bartolomew fights like a madman under the influence some form of prohibited medicinal. Bartolomew developed the style whilst he was still in a more animal-like form after he developed from his upper-menos stage, he liked to corner other hollows and make them fight, Bartolomew found no pattern except that he just struggled much more so after hundreds upon hundreds of souls being devoured and analysed he uses moves from them but tries to attach a sword to the movements.



HAND-TO-HAND EXPERT: Fists are not exactly what Bartolomew likes to fight with but much rather he prefers the use of knees and elbows using a style that resembles Muay Thai but a lot more focused on countering and defense much rather than the traditional focus of offense. Bartolomew also uses a style more reliant on agility that is derived from Brazillian Jiu-Jutsu and Capoeira, the style is comparable to dancing, one of Bartolomew's favoured moves is actually a breakdance move essentially known as the "windmill".



EXPERT AGILITY: Due to the fact Bartolomew likes to use more acrobatic fighting agility is very useful to him, you'll often find him jumping around in battle so he can do some sort of tactic, probably relating to momentum or distraction. His speed is far superior to his agility though and he's one of the quickest Fraccion to live, he even managed to develop his own brand of Sonido however his masterful Spiritual Control played a small part in the Sonido. 



MASTERFUL SPIRITUAL CONTROL: Bartolomew is always attempting to invest an equal amount of time into his techniques and skills but his spiritual control has always been more developed than his other skills due to the fact he is naturally talented in the arts of spiritual control and is the main reason as to why he uses so many different skills. 



HIGH STRENGTH: Ezel has a strength attribute beyond measure, having power far beyond the standard of combatants at his level. His blows can shatter the earth with ease, and with a swipe of his hand, he can topple buildings. Combined with his sword, he is able to cleave canyons and craters into the earth, and even mountains are subject to his level of destruction, able to hundreds of feet of stone with relative ease.



EXPERT PERCEPTION: And while he lacks in the speed necessary to match most movements, his eyes can nearly see all, following the movements of his opponents. Beyond this, he has a heavy reliance to understanding the own movements within his own aura, and like a sonar effect, picks up the movements of foes within in domain due to reiatsu bouncing off of their physical being. With this in effect, he can sense all angles around him with near-perfect clarity, and can respond with ease and swiftness. Ezelrik also has a keen sense of spiritual evaluation, and can gauge opponents with relative ease, as well as pick out most that are suppressing their powers.



HIGH SPIRITUAL POWER: Ezelrik had possessed such levels of spiritual power before ripping his mask of, being a vasto lorde, and commanding most with his potential and prowess. His levels exceed the mast majority of beings that exist, and he can be counted among the universe's most powerful individuals. Ezel's reiryoku has imposing elements to it reflecting his faith in the divine. A translucent white aura transcends him, and those under its oppression feel the subjugation, and authority. It retains the qualities of the lord he so blindly follows, and under its influence, many feel the pressure to kneel, to lower themselves, to succumb to the weight of unworthiness. "For we are not equal, and mere pawns of our Holy Master," and while Ezel flourishes beyond by being his sword, Ezelrik's power does well to instill a sense of subordination to those that take its heat.

TECHNIQUES

CERO: Ezelrik fires his cero from an open palm, and like most, it congregatesspiritual power at the center before beaming off into a wide expansion. His cero reflects a light and grayscale blue, steel in appearance, and shows little variation from the standard. Although he often does a prayer before initiation of the attack, the pose or performance is unnecessary to release his cero, and it only requires an open palm.



GRAN REY CERO:  Ezelrik's Gran Rey Cero deepens in hue, and becomes a brilliant cerulean. Unlike his cero, which can be fired from any pose, he must control his motion by extending one arm out, and the other grasping it like a cannon. From there the attack releases like most, with extreme velocity and power that ripples the very fabric it passes through. 



JUICIO: Otherwise referred to as "Judgment" is a modified version of cero designed to deal precision damage. By extending his hands out, and placing one over the other (like so), he releases energy that falls from the sky in several spears of condensed energy. Holding all the strength of a cero while lacking the grand explosive power, this move does more potent damage on point of impact, and each of the blue spears erupt into a small radius with a much more powerful impact despite a smaller blast zone. 



BALA: Ezel's bala are fired in an active fashion by either punching, swinging or kicking in the direction and delivering a swift bullet of energy. His bala are particularly unique in that they only possess concussive force, and are used to disorient foes in their position, knocking them around while doing little physical damage in comparison to his other attacks. The white bala are fired off in quick speeds, though their number low.



AULLAR: Also known as "roar." A variation of cero that ignites Cruzado with a furious light. The blade is swung and sends an energy replicate of his weapon boomeranging at his target before bursting into a heavy explosion. The color of Aullar is the same blue of his cero, and though the power is more condensed, providing more damage with the blade construction, though having a weaker explosive impact. 



SILBAR: Literally "whistle," and is just that. Ezel will create a colorless bala that looks more like a disruption in the air that fires at intense speeds and provides a heavy bunch of concussive force. The balla lets out an scream as it travels and it can burst eardrums if near an ear. It hits with harder force than a standard balla, though it can be fired a lot less frequent.



UNNAMED ABILITY: Ezel manipulates his reiryoku and increases pressure around the grip, creating a whip that can be uses to swing his weapon. The reiryoku becomes a visible blue, and extends several meters, allowing him to fight at medium and long range if he wishes. 



AFFLICCION: With a similar build as Aullar, Ezel charges his blade with the force, though much greater than cero. Connecting it with a surface will channel the energy through it before combusting at a target location. While the blast radius is smaller, the compact energy hits with great power. It's range is limited to a hundred meters from the point of contact, and the further away the explosion. The energy movement is incredibly fast, and can reach the full length in a single second.

RESURRECCIÓN

ZANPAKTOU NAME: Cruzado (Spanish for crusader).



ZANPAKTOU FORM: Cruzado comes in the image of a grand sword, larger than any human. The blade itself is five feet long, and a foot and half wide, folded several times to appear a solid brick of iron with a sharpened edge. the metal is engraved with abstract and geometric carvings, while the handguard is a slab of rusted gold. The handle spans another foot, and the crimson grip is aged and withered to match the rest of the sword. 



RELEASE PHRASE: "Patris omnipotentis, inde venturus est iudicare vivos et mortuos."(Father Almight, from thence, he shall come to judge the living and the dead).



RELEASE FORM: Ezelrik thrusts the mighty weapon into the ground, and on the point of impact, a heavy torrent releases, shredding the immediate area with restless and stinging wings. Dust and debris along with a cone of holy light fire from the point of impact, blinding those attempting to see whatever transformation Ezel is subject to. When the storm dies down, in its place stands an armor clad warrior. The plate mail is complete and gleaming behind the silver-bronze mix. The helm is molded into a crown to exert Ezel's dominance, and the once rusted blade seems a thousand years younger, and in a prime state. 



ABILITIES:

• HOLLOW ARMOR: The armor itself provides an incredible defense boost, and replicates the effects of herrion while retaining the augmentative properties of bastion. His reiatsu has hardened into a near-impenetrable shell that is a heightened form of his own bastion. In addition, his strength is further magnified enabling him to deliver even more damage.

• ABSOLUCIÓN: A technique that charges the edge of his blade with energy. Upon release, a sword of pure spiritual power is released into a direction, with enough mass in its confines to begin to pull matter towards its center. This vacuum only becomes more powerful when the blade begins eruption via contact, and after several seconds of sucking in the area around it, it implodes with extreme force, the epicenter being the most dangerous place of the attack.
  
  

• MANDAMIENTO: An ability that takes the strength of his own reiryoku and delivers it into a concussive burst at the tip of his swing. A cloud of energy fires forward, almost invisible in energy, and those caught in the blast are stunned with extreme pressure. The attack does not fire outward, but instead it collapses energy in front of it, dealing a major concussive blow from all angle to those inside the attack's range. In a swift blow, they are rendered disoriented and near-paralyzed for a moment due to the impact. 

SEGUNDA ETAPA

Upon activation, Cruzado's blade will shatter, and what remains is a crystaline greatsword in its place, the blade illuminated by the core of what appears to be a star in its center. When then burst of energy happens, Ezel's armor ripples, and displaces, revealing its true state of pure reiryoku before an ivory tunic flutters and cloaks his head, and draping over his chest piece, down to the floor. The armor bleeds into a metal manifestation of the roots of two wings on his back, with his spiritual energy running rampant in illuminating plumes from the wings, giving him an angelic appearance. This form is merely known as Arcángel, and he believes himself to be above the grounds of Michael, Gabriel and Raphael - the true weapon of God. In addition, during Segunda Etapa, his voice becomes hollowed and similar to as if three men were speaking at once. He loses his individual identity, and will speak as if he were many to one. In this form his abilities are amplified, and he fights more potently.



CIELO DE IRA (Heaven's Wrath): 



Ezelrik will reach and rip one of the eight wings the flutter restlessly behind his being, the reiryoku reforming into a larger, six foot cross of righteous energy. Beyond the fact of the cross' potency as a weapon, being composed of concentrated energy and heat, it serves as a beacon for the fury to come. Ezel can throw the cross, and designated where it will suspend and move itself (or even impale a target), and it will summon forth energy from above. The sky will ripple and distort, seeming to sink down towards the ground. As the tension of its dimensional fabric increases, cracks will fragment the sky, small tears letting through six foot spears of light that will home in towards the cross. After so much damage to the fabric of the plane, a massive area of the sky shatters, letting loose thousands of high-speed spears. Each that connects with its summoner will explode into a small yet potent blast. While one does not pose as a danger, as the spears and explosions stack, their potential of damage and destruction increase exponentially until it reaches a magnitude able to leave nothing but desolation in its wake. The attack even threatens its user, though the armor of his Segunda able to absorb the bulk of the damage. Once the eight wing is ripped out, his armor shatters, and he sacrifices his Segunda form, his stamina near depleted.
