[font face="verdana"][b]GREAT SPIRITUAL POWER:[/b] Nico's spiritual pressure, due to his nature as a Vasto Lorde before discarding his mask, is at a level unattainable all but the strongest of souls. His Reiatsu clings to his body like armour, bathing him and everything around in a blinding red light when released. The sheer enormity of his power is enough to crush weaker beings without noticing, and even moderately powerful beings are brought to a complete standstill in his presence. Those subject to its full onslaught will find themselves slower in both mind and body; unable to comprehend such vast spiritual power, unable to keep up with the blinding speed of Nico's movements.
[b]MASTERFUL SPIRITUAL CONTROL:[/b] Nico's control over his spiritual abilities ranks amongst the best, the control and finesse needed to utilise his abilities to their fullest required this of him. As a result, Nico is capable of maximising the efficiency of his techniques, using the minimum amount of energy required for any action. In addition to this, he is constantly aware of his own levels of energy, allowing him to make appropriate actions in combat.
[b]PERFECTED PERCEPTION:[/b] Nico's style of fighting requires him to have absolute knowledge of the battlefield for it to be effective. Centuries of training and exercising his ability to observe the world around him has lead to Nico possessing near-omniscience. This omniscience grants Nico the ability to pinpoint the location of any being in his current dimension, should he choose to, simply by sensing their Reiatsu. Even suppressed Reiatsu is not hidden from his all-seeing gaze. In addition to this he has the ability to see the full 360* around himself and can determine the exact nature, quantity and quality of Reiatsu of any given person, item or ability in an instant. His perception is not fooled by illusions, only affected by the highest quality of abilities that affect his perception, and even that is to a minor degree. A trait unique to Nico is his ability to enhance his already god-like perception, increasing his reaction speed dramatically as the world around him slows, allowing him to make better judgements in the heat of battle.
[b]EXPERT AGILITY:[/b] Nico's pride is his speed, and in that regard he is unmatched by any being in existence. Centuries of travelling the wastes of Hueco Mundo have pushed his stepping abilities beyond what most are capable of, and while his neglect of Sonido training has lead to a degradation of his practical skills, Nico still possesses intimate knowledge of the mechanics of the technique. His reflexes are average for a being of his spiritual power, given the weakening of his physical body after his slumber.
[b]EXPERT WEAPON USE:[/b] Nico's skill with his blade allows him to compete all but the deadliest swordsmen on even grounds, capable of manipulating his Zanpakuto with speed and finesse unheard of for such a heavy and cumbersome weapon. While Nico doesn't use his sword in the traditional manner that most swordsmen are accustomed to, he can hold his own if necessary. He tends to attempt to overwhelm his opponents with his unnatural speed, relentlessly attacking with rapid thrusts and slices, relying on the large surface area of his blade to deflect incoming attacks. This style has been known to shatter blades his Zanpakuto collides with due to its incredible weight and the impossible speed it is swung at.
[b]HAND-TO-HAND PRACTITIONER:[/b] Nico's centuries as a Hollow made learning the basics of unarmed combat a necessity, as the only weapons he possessed were his body and mind. While Nico is capable of engaging in fisticuffs without completely embarrassing himself, he has no desire to pursue this particular branch of combat as he has found no need to resort to hand-to-hand combat for centuries. While physically capable of performing great feats of strength, he possesses little to know technique, relying solely upon his raw strength if forced into unarmed combat. Nico fights dirty, not hesitating to kick a fool in the nuts or make use of his trusty pocket sand.
[b]HIERRO PRACTITIONER:[/b] Nico’s Hierro, due to his nature as a Vasto Lorde, is incredibly tough in comparison to a regular Arrancar’s skin. He is capable of being thrown through buildings without harm, catching bladed weaponry bare handed and other feats of superhuman durability. However, as Nico tends not to get hit in combat, his Hierro is not as durable as it could possibly be. While able to take a serious beating, he is not a juggernaut like many Arrancar of his power.
[b]ENHANCED STRENGTH:[/b] Like the majority of Vasto Lorde-tier Arrancars before him, Nico exchanged his High-Speed Regeneration for immense physical power. While he may not look like a body builder, Nico possesses extraordinary physical strength, capable of tossing around buildings like toys and breaking bones like twigs. Only the most durable of defences can stand against his powerful blows, the extreme density of his Zanpakuto combined with his raw physical power capable of snapping other blades beneath it with ease.[/font]

[div style="text-align:center;"][b][font size="4"]HOLLOW TECHNIQUES:
[/font][/b][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]CERO:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] Nico’s Ceros aren’t particularly special, bearing very little deviation from the standard Cero employed by almost every Hollow or Hollow-offshoot in existence. His Cero takes on the hue of his crimson Reiatsu, which makes it only slightly darker than the stereotypically red average. As a Vasto Lorde, Nico possesses greater mastery over this technique than others, allowing his Cero to disintegrate most obstacles in its path, though there are others with far greater Cero than his own.[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][font face="verdana"][b][/b][/font][blockquote style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b]COSMIC STRING:[/b] Cosmic String is a variation of Cero, sacrificing its wide blast radius for increased power, range and speed, requiring the same amount of energy to fire it. By condensing the wide, conical, spread of Cero to an infinitesimally thin laser beam, the destructive power is focused onto a single point, capable of burning through anything in its path. In addition, the speed of this technique, in both execution and travelling speed, is equivalent to a bala, while the range is roughly four times the range of the average cero. Due to its nature as a beam, Nico can continuously channel Reiatsu to maintain the technique, allowing him to fire this laser for as long as he wishes. He is capable of firing eight of these beams simultaneously, one from each finger.[/font][/blockquote][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]BALA:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] Nico’s Bala, much like his Cero, is unremarkable, its defining feature being the slightly darker hue of the crimson Reiatsu that it is composed of. As a result of being composed of this Reiatsu, Nico’s Bala are twice as fast as the average Bala. He is capable of firing hundreds of these small bullets if he so desires, each capable of putting a sizeable hole in anything without adequate defences.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]NEGACION:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] Nico’s affinity for techniques that focus on dimensional manipulation has allowed him to use the trademark ability of the Menos Grande, Negacion. This technique summons a large, cylindrical, barrier that separates whatever is caught within its boundaries to be separated from the dimension it originally resided in, usually to rescue comrades from dire situations. Nico is capable of performing this technique upon himself or others if the circumstance requires it.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:center;"][b][font size="4"][font face="verdana"]SPIRITUAL TECHN[/font][font face="verdana"]IQUES:
[/font][/font][/b][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]ALBE[/b][b style="font-weight:bold;"][font size="2"]D[/font][/b][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]O:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] Nico's affinity for manipulating dimensions has granted him greater control over the Hollow Technique 'Negacion.' Nico has created a more efficient variation the technique, enabling him to create 2 dimensional shapes in the same manner as creating the cylindrical shape of a Negacion. Nico has full control over the shape and size of his barrier, and it can be anywhere in a 10 meter radius of Nico. The cost is dependant on the dimensions of the barrier created, with a maximum surface area of 50 meters. Unless maintained with a steady flow of Reiatsu, this dimensional barrier will fade after one post.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]PARALLAX:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] By tapping into his Reiatsu's unique properties, Nico is able to empower an object with the ability to transport infinitely within the dimension it currently inhabits. This allows Nico to transport objects over vast distances instantaneously. The size of the object is directly proportional to the energy expenditure required to transport the item, so smaller objects such as swords can be transported for a negligible cost, while larger constructs such as entire buildings would necessitate a larger consumption of his reserves.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][span style="font-size:10pt;"][font face="verdana"]This technique can be applied in a lesser format, transporting the item partially rather than in its whole state. In this instance, a small rift that fits the exact dimensions of the object's surface area generates on the object, allowing Nico to push and pull objects through this small dimensional abnormality. If this rift is closed when the object is partially through it, the object is separated where the rift existed on it, though the rift can be maintained for brief moments to allow Nico to transport and retrieve objects through it in rapid succession. This is typically used in conjunction with a weapon, allowing him to strike from extreme distances and multiple angles with a melee weapon.
[/font][/span][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][span style="font-size:10pt;"][font face="verdana"]The limitations on the techniques, in exchange for its power, are fairly substantial. Firstly, any object being transported with this ability must be in direct physical contact with Nico, the only exception to this drawback being that objects or entities forged of his own soul/Reiatsu are exempt (for example, his own Zanpakuto can be transported regardless.) Secondly, this technique has no affect on sentient beings (with the exception of Zanpakuto, Dolls and other similar objects.) Finally, Nico must be able to perceive the locations the areas he is transporting to a from, be it physically (eyesight) or spiritually (sensing.)
[/font][/span][/div][div style="font-weight:bold;text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]REDSHIFT: [/b][font size="2"]Redshift is a teleportation technique, allowing Nico to move between any two points within his range instantaneously without occupying the space in between, accomplished by applying the cosmic nature of his Reiatsu to his steps. The range of this technique is equivalent to the maximum range of his Sonido, and consumes the same amount of energy to accomplish this feat, effectively replacing Sonido with this technique. As this 'stepping technique' requires no physical cues or any actual 'stepping' to accomplish, this is not affected by items or abilities that affect the users ability to perform said techniques, nor is the destination capable of being tracked as there is no ‘path’ to predict.

This Zanpakuto is incredibly dense, capable of bending and breaking other blades under its extreme weight, though it feels perfectly weighted in Nico's hands as manifestation of his Soul.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]RELEASE PHRASE:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] "Explore, Viajero."

His face takes on an appearance that is similar to his Vasto Lorde form, similarly armoured like the rest of his body, his eyes glowing crimson with his Reiatsu.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][span style="font-size:10pt;"]His [/span][a href="http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080424220154/devilmaycry/images/f/f5/Rebellion_DMC4.jpg" style="font-size:10pt;"]Zanpakuto[/a][font size="2"] is still present in this form, also transforming to match Nico's new form. The cross-guard on the hilt extends outwards and the skull awakens, opening both its eyes and its mouth, while the blade in its entirety darkens in colour. In accordance with the increase in physical strength granted by entering his resurreccion form, the weight of his Zanpakuto increases once more to ten metric tons, though Nico is still able to wield it handily.
[/font][div style="text-align:center;"][b][font size="4"]RESURRECCION TECHNIQUES:
[/font][/b][/div][/font][/div][div style="text-align:center;"][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][b style="font-weight:bold;font-size:10pt;"]TERMINATOR:[/b][span style="font-size:10pt;"] Terminator is the most physically powerful technique in Nico's arsenal, capable of irreparably rending anything in its path in twain. By applying his cosmic Reiatsu to his Zanpakuto, or a similar bladed weapon, Nico lines the edge of the blade with energy similar in appearance to heat haze, allowing him to 'remove' the space an object inhabits when his blade passes through it. This generates a tiny dimensional rift around his blade, granting him infinite cutting ability. When the edge of his blade makes contact with any surface the rift will separate the object at the point of incision, regardless of what it is composed of, allowing Nico to cut through any and all objects in existence with no resistance possible. This is activated immediately upon unleashing his resurreccion, if Nico so desires.
[/span][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][font face="verdana"][/font][/div][div style="text-align:left;"][span style="font-size:10pt;"][font face="verdana"]Terminator can also be launched as a ranged attack after being applied to his weapon, released upon swinging the blade, should Nico desire it. The arc of his swing determines the direction and angle of the cut, the length and of the beam equivalent to the diameter of an average Gran Rey Cero. The maximum range and speed of this technique is also equivalent to a Gran Rey Cero. Utilising Terminator in this manner, as implied, removes the physical effects upon the blade and the ability must be reapplied in order to be used once more. [/font][/span][/div]
