Discarding/Revamping the techniques in the spoiler. The new ones replacing them are written below.
[/b] Stacking this technique only works on the area already struck, and thus can not work towards freezing another area of their body. A single strike to the brain, heart, liver, or lungs may kill an opponent. This technique takes two (2) strikes to completely freeze a target's appendages (feet/hands/forearms/shins/thigh), however one strike leaves it frostbitten and near completely numb. In order to freeze over the target's torso, three strikes would need to be placed upon it's general area. When beginning the process of freezing over, or being completely frozen, the target's body takes a darker, cobalt-grey hue signifying their body has gone well into/past the point of frostbite. Other objects capable of being frozen, such as masses of water, can be frozen by this technique. When an area is partially frozen, it reduces mobility of that area severely. This freezing effect wears off on it's own after four (4) IC posts from the victim, or when the Shikai is deactivated.[/ul]

Name: Ikiryou (Wraith)
Range: Self - 50 Meters
Description:
Note: In order to attain more Wraiths, Ryuusuke must kill an IC character, or witness a close friend die to gain one, whilst his Zanpakuto (in any form) is present on his person. This requires IC permission from said character if it's the death of a friend, but killing a character does not require their IC permission. Once attained a fraction of the deceased person's soul, being Ryuusuke's memories of them, forever resides within his Zanpakuto's inner world, doing things that Ryuusuke's memory would see them doing. A total of 5 apparitions from this technique may be constructed at any single time in a thread, excluding the apparitions produced from "Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)". However, countless Wraiths may reside within his inner world.[/ul][/font][/blockquote][/div][/font][/blockquote][/div]

Reiatsu technique
Mariana's Trench; As for the name of the technique, which is said to be the deepest part of the ocean in the human realm, Ryusuke's Reiatsu being exerted is rather accurately depicted as said climate. Abundant, cold, and even dense enough to seem like it was darkening the vision of the victim, it may feel as though they were fighting/moving underwater, and even breathing in the Reiatsu as if it were liquid, causing them to feel asphyxiated. This reduces the opponent's movement speed drastically (by half) if their Reiatsu does not overwhelm his own, and causes them to feel as though they are being asphyxiated. Along with this, they feel as though chills have overtaken their body.
Shikai
Name: Shinda Samui (Dead Cold)
range: Melee/Self
Description:
Similar to the concept of ghosts draining the energy used to heat a human's body, giving them a sensation of coldness coming over them, Ryusuke's Zanpakuto is constantly draining heat from anything it is touching, replacing it with it's own super cold Reiatsu, nearing that of subzero temperatures. This results in strikes that can nearly, or completely freeze the object struck. Because of this lurking Reiatsu, someone other than Ryusuke wielding the Zanpakuto (even by the handle) in this state would suffer from the freezing capabilities. Obviously, because it is his Reiatsu, it does not affect him, or the apparition(s) holding them.

This freezing effect wears off on it's own after four (4) IC posts from the victim, or when the Shikai is deactivated.
Name: Kōkai Tsubasa (Remorseful Blade)
Range: Melee/Self
Description:
Bringing forth a transformation about one or both of his blades, he can cause them to enter a sort of ethereal state. While the Zanpakuto would now phase through any solid object, similar to the concept of ghosts being able to pass through physical objects, Ryusuke's Zanpakuto slips past the matter, yet brings a much colder sensation than with the previous blade. This reduces the amount of strikes needed for "Shinda Samui (Dead Cold)" by one (1).
Name: Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)
Range: Melee - 20 meters
Description:
By forging a creation of Reiatsu from his Zanpakuto, apparitions that looks like his Zanpakuto spirit can be summoned forth, having equivalent size and reach to Ryusuke, also carrying two ethereal Zanpakuto similar to "Kōkai Tsubasa (Remorseful Blade)", although NOT carrying the additional freezing capability of said technique. These are under his control, positioning and attacking as he too simultaneously took action. Capable of using Shunpo and his Shikai techniques only as good as Ryusuke himself can, these apparitions are extinguished by a mere punch or poke to their body. However, the swords can not be hit to do so, phasing through attacks and armor when necessary. Regardless, once their body is hit they disintegrate nigh instantaneously. Only a maximum of up to two (2) apparitions can be summoned at a time, one representing his deceased father, and the other his Zanpakuto spirit.
Name: Hinshi Otoko Ishi (Dying Man's Will)
Range: Self - 20 Meters
Description:
Instead of using his apparitions simply to distract or try and freeze his opponent by striking them and revealing their attack by doing so, this technique focuses on utilizing their more deceptive nature, capable of forcing them to explode into twenty (20) black shards of ice measuring a foot long and several inches thick, which stake into anything within range. Best of all Ryusuke can aim these shards individually, as there are not that many, just as they erupt from the apparition.
Bankai
Name: Shisha no Umi [Sea of the Dead]
Range: Self - Max. 50 Meters
Description:
The entire vicinity that Ryusuke's reiatsu may saturate casts much more harsh afflictions to those caught within it than ever before with his Bankai now active. The air is thick with his Reiatsu, feeling something like water, making it very hard to breathe, causing them to suffer from moderate oxygen deprivation. Along with this, the area reaches subzero temperatures, causing any foreign sources (besides Ryusuke, his apparitions, and other techniques) to succumb to a below-freezing climate. This may lead to hypothermia within four [4] posts take or give one for every rank difference. When the Bankai technique "Shinda mo Dōzen (Good As Dead)" is used, the post count is delayed. Each post counts for 1 strike counter on the entire body in regards to the Shikai technique "Shinda Samui (Dead Cold)".
Name: Kyū Otoko no Yūjin (An Old Man's Friend)
Range: 30 Meters
Description:
Much like the "Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)" technique of his Shikai, this Bankai ability has a more efficient, qualitative approach. Only a single apparition can be spawned, wielding this time a solid replica of Ryusuke's Bankai Zanpakuto. They are just as resilient when it comes to damage, having no literal bloodstream, simply the Reiatsu bonding together to forge his creation. This is to further instill the concept that Ryusuke should never be fighting alone. This apparition's physical build and voice are Ryusuke's memories and interpretations of the since deceased friend.
Note: This apparition can move as fast as Ryusuke, even capable of utilizing Shunpo just as fast, and his Bankai techniques just as well as him. While able to survive a moderate stab or broken arm easily, decapitation and other killing blows of such severity would diminish the apparition quite suddenly. Although it appears transparent, this apparition is very much solid, and can hold things down just as well as Ryusuke himself could.
Name: Shinda mo Dōzen (Good As Dead)
Range: Self
Description:
For the duration of one (1) post per each use, capable of being used as long as his Bankai is active, Ryusuke or his apparition spawn are able to enter an ethereal/ghost-like state, in which their body phases through anything and everything coming that way, and can not be bound or phased by literally anything. While in use their body seems rather transparent. Shunpo may be utilized while this technique is in-use, but the user can not hurt the opponent while this ethereal state is active, or use other techniques (other than Shunpo). Also, their Zanpakuto are forced into this ethereal state, however are NOT capable of producing any damage, even with the "Shi no Samu Sawaru (Death's Cold Grasp)" technique.

Kidou | Numberless Bakudo
Koukakukidoutai (Ghost in the Shell); Ryuusuke's abundant Reiatsu allows a transparent, skin-tight shell to encase around him, covering every single part of his body and providing him a certain protection from foreign substances of any kind infiltrating his body, mind, or soul. The defensive quality of this is identical to Hierro, although is based on Ryuusuke's Spiritual Control skill. Even so, Perfected Spiritual Control would only bring him a Mastered Hierro's defensive capability, and so on so forth. Also, just as Reiatsu can be flared, this protective shell may radiate in an identical fashion with spiritual energy without taking much focus or effort at all, eradicating any foreign substances comprised of Reishi, Reiatsu, or Reiryokou nigh instantly that may be trying to infiltrate the shell and cause a hindrance to Ryuusuke.

[/b][/font][b]Range:[/b] Melee - 50 meters
[b]Description:[/b] [ul]Ryuusuke can forge two apparitions (one from each blade) that move with identical speed and skill when compared to Ryuusuke. Although they can use Hoho (even Shunpo), and even wield what appears to be two Shikai/Bankai Zanpakuto just like Ryuusuke, they are simply a distraction. They have no material existence, like a visual illusion, and they can NOT harm any opponent in any way, shape, or form. Their appearance is up to Ryuusuke, often making them look like his Zanpakuto spirit, and the other his father. This boosts his confidence and morale in a fight, more than anything, and also functions as a decent distraction. These apparitions each give off a heavy reiatsu signature identical to Ryuusuke's.[/ul]

While the Zanpakuto would now phase through any solid object, similar to the concept of ghosts being able to pass through physical objects, the user's Zanpakuto slips past the matter, yet brings a much colder sensation than with the previous physical blade. This reduces the amount of strikes needed for "[b]Samu Yuurei (Cold Ghost)[/b]" to where a single strike is all that's needed tp render the flesh of that area immobile and frozen solid at subzero temperatures. The area afflicted would become dark blue or grey the instant the blade passed through, and if forced to move, or struck physically, would cause said frozen area to shatter, with the entire frozen part removing itself so that a warm, bleeding wound would occur. Striking any of the opponent's vital organs with this blade [i]may[/i] call for death, even more so than the "[b]Samu Yuurei (Cold Ghost)[/b]" technique.[/ul]

[b]Description:[/b] [ul]For a duration lasting no longer than a single (1) post each use, although able to be turned on and off like a light switch at the user's whim within said post's duration, both body and Zanpakuto are able to enter an ethereal/incorporeal state, in which there is no material existence, or any existence on their part for that matter for the enemy to make contact with by any means, spiritual or physical. This means that, while in this form, absolutely nothing may cause harm to the user and vice versa, as they don't exist in that plane; or any for that matter, to even be touched or phased by anything operating in the spiritual plane (or any other). While in this form, the user is unable to be touched, seen, or even spiritually detected by anyone, being that it's almost as if the user of this technique didn't exist. Ryuusuke, and his Wraiths/apparitions may use this technique. Only Hoho/Shunpo may be utilized when this technique is active, and there is no possible way for the user to inflict damage upon anyone or anything, even with the "[b]Samu Yuurei (Cold Ghost)[/b]", "[b]Kuuki no Youna Tsubasa (Ethereal Blade)[/b]", or "[b]Yuurei Shusseki (Ghostly Presence)[/b]" technique(s).

[b]Range:[/b] Self - Max. 50 Meters
[b]Description:[/b] [ul]It is said that the grasp of death is cold, and as the life leaves your body, so too does the warmth. The area Ryuusuke's Reiatsu inhabits (up to 50 meters but can be restricted to mere feet around him) is able to inflict damage with the "[b]Samu Yuurei (Cold Ghost)[/b]" onto those within it's habitat. In fact the Reiatsu is so cold that the air and breathe appears as fog, and flakes of cerulean ethereal snow drift in the air. Each post they are within this subzero climate counts as a strike on their entire body. This causes moderate hypothermia on the second post, and severe hypothermia by the third (being Ryuusuke's post), while the fourth would likely conclude with the afflicted target(s) passing out due to shock/lethal hypothermia and left to die. Involuntary movements such as harsh shivering and shuddering would decrease their combat efficiency by far once any degree of hypothermia took place, as well as a great amount of mental confusion and fear taking affect to further hinder their combat prowess. This does not effect Ryuusuke or his apparitions, but anyone else within range is afflicted by his harsh, cold Reiatsu. His Wraiths can act as a conduit for this technique, allowing their own presence to emit this affliction with identical capability.[/ul]

[b]Range:[/b] Self - 50 Meters
[b]Description:[/b] [ul]Much like the "[b]Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)[/b]" technique of his Shikai, this Bankai ability allows Ryuusuke to summon Wraiths (apparitions) that wield their own pair of his Bankai's Zanpakuto, but with a much more efficient yet costly approach. The concept of this technique is that Ryuusuke should never be fighting alone, and it utilizes the dead souls he witnessed the deaths of to produce a Wraith to fight for him based on the memories of their existence prior to death. These fight on par with Ryuusuke, utilizing Hoho skills (Shunpo included), Swordsmanship, and their Zanpakuto at a level identical to their master, and can even utilize Kido as well as Ryuusuke, unlike those of the "[b]Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)[/b]" technique which are nigh useless. These apparitions are very specific in design, as they are forged by the memories of the since deceased person, meaning every one of them looks different, and talks different, best capturing what they were like in their last moments before death. They manifest nigh instantly, and can even manifest immediately upon Bankai release, spawning anywhere within their 50 meter range of Ryuusuke's choice. These apparitions, much like the other ones Ryuusuke's Shikai can produce, do not appear to be solid, their form wavering in wisps akin to that of a ghost, fooling the opponent into thinking they are easily distinguished like the others. However, these apparitions are just as durable and resilient as Ryuusuke himself, if not more, being able to lose limbs and suffer cuts as there is no blood to bleed, or muscles to move, being that they are forged of reiatsu/reiryokou, and not flesh or bone. However, decapitation, and other certain killing blows will diminish these Wraiths momentarily, allowing Ryuusuke to summon them again just after their [i]death[/i]. Although they seem to talk as if it was that person still alive to this day, their actions are dictated either by Ryuusuke, or his Zanpakuto spirit, who is able to fight using them as a faux vessel, so that dying when controlling one of them does not mean they killed his Zanpakuto spirit. [font color="red"]Ryuusuke has only one (1) Wraith available for now, forged by the memories of his father whose soul was destroyed by Quincy, making these memories the only thing left of his existence.[/font]
[b]Note:[/b] In order to attain more Wraiths, Ryuusuke must kill an IC character, or witness a close friend die to gain one, whilst his Zanpakuto (in any form) is present on his person. This requires IC permission from said character if it's the death of a friend, but killing a character does not require their IC permission. Once attained a fraction of the deceased person's soul, being Ryuusuke's memories of them, forever resides within his Zanpakuto's inner world, doing things that Ryuusuke's memory would see them doing. A total of 5 apparitions from this technique may be constructed at any single time in a thread, excluding the apparitions produced from "[b]Shutsugen o Azamuku (Deceiving Apparition)[/b]".
