Blight's House

"Magic, as it's more widely known, was never a work of fiction that some writer spun to sell books or a mother invented to take her children to sleep. No, magic has always been a part of our world, it's just those of us who utilize the...art, are not so eager to pass on our secrets. Now we have a very good reason for this, magic is a dangerous thing, not for the feint hearted so to speak. It's always done more damage than good and that's why it is law for a Mage to become distant, separated from the mainstay of society, and so the Pariah's were formed.

This law seemed like a good idea at first, as does any that see's the upper echelons keep their power. However it seemed to have spawned quite the difficult situation, you see magic is not a skill to be learnt or a trait to be taught. You are born with the right to bend the world to your will and in finding these 'gifted' children and isolating them, they tend to have a hard upbringing with only one thing to occupy them, using magic.

Unfortunately for those of us who have been around for the best part of a century, this has seen the recent uprising of dangerously talented Pariah's, young and naive they have only one aim. To dominate. This doesn't settle well with the big dicks as you can imagine.
Now there are four major powers in the world of magic, houses if you believe that high school bollocks but in reality they are more like cults.

The seed are most likely who you've heard of, a gang of rebels and anarchists they are, no good for anyone. Bullet belts and Mohawk's are their style and they will pick up any old kid with a hint of magical prowess because they are not in the best of shape. The head of the Seed, the one they call 'Dom the Don' hasn't been seen or heard of for the best part of a year. As one of the most talented practitioners of black magic I've ever seen I can't say it doesn't serve as a blessing, but without rule the gang has become unruly and spontaneous.

On the flip side of things is Apex. Fronted as an international telecoms company it is controlled by some of the oldest Pariah's this city has seen, the old croaks sit in their thrones and prefer to delegate rather than get involved in matters themselves, but rumor has it they are far from incapable. Few in number but with the biggest brutes they try to keep things organized and civilized around town, they haven't succeeded.

Next come the Paragon's, preferring the term to Pariah's they have a strong tradition of home grown techniques and Magic users. They are stuck in their ways but seem to attract the most naturally gifted Pariah's to their cause, with a couple big hitters they are definitely spoken for in almost all confrontations even though they 'swear' they try to avoid any kind of conflict.

Last but by no means least, is the Omerta. Less of a house or cult but, a group really. Seven Pariah's make the total number of the Omerta ranks, but with some of the most diverse and genius in their ranks they are never to be underestimated. It seems however that these seven aren't interested in what the rest of us are, they seem to keep themselves to themselves as they go about their business. No one really knows what they are ever up to and they keep it that way.

And there are always the freelancers, I being the most prominent. Aiden Rit is my name and welcome to London, may your stay be comfortable and enjoyable. If you survive long enough maybe I will learn your name too but for now I'd say it's about lunch, I'll see you on the concrete fields of battle young Pariah."



The seed - Black Magic - Erosion/Necromancy etc
Apex - Order and Rule
- Home grown Organic
- Technophiles, the least powerful magic but it's backed up with Technology

"I've been around for a while now. Marking my second century on Tuesday in fact, but one thing I've learnt in my time here is that the world is still in it's infancy. You would think, wouldn't you with all this talk of nano-technology and amazing breakthroughs in science that people would begin to open their minds a little, accept that there might just be things they can't yet explain.
No, the human race has for ever retained the need for safety, a feeling of complete and utter control over every eventuality and every possibility. The obnoxious bastards actually believe they have achieved this state of dominance, but that's soon to change.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The city has five Pariahs who tend to keep the peace however they do occasionally fall out. However the rise of a new Pariah has forced the five to take notice.

-Skills & Abilities-

Apprentice Air Bender
Irako has the ability to bend but has so far come up short in his mastery of the technique, instead of relying on it he much prefers to use it in conjunction with his swordplay to put hi opponents off balance and gain the upper hand in pivotal moments.

Broadsword Master
Whilst his Bending has fallen short Irako is sure of one thing, his skill with a Broadsword is second to none. Often dual wielded as a pair, Irako can throw flurry's of blows towards his opponent to put them on the back-foot.

-Weapons & Equipment-

Dual Broadswords
Irako's most prized possession, they have large rings hanging from the edge to add weight and apply a harder impact to his targets.

Personal Armour
Irako made his armour from the spare scraps he could find, combining many different elements together he found the most effective build for his style to be lightweight but durable plates over his most vulnerable areas. He can also pack a nasty punch with his spiked fists if needs be.

-Personality-
Irako tends to be the quiet one, not saying much and letting his actions do the talking. However in times of need when his peers need galvanizing he is capable of speaking up. He keeps to himself and prefers not to talk about his history or why he has made certain choices in his life wanting to confess himself when he finally meets his maker.

-History-
Irako was part of the Sky Empire, used as an agent he was in line to become one of the most effective killers the Empire had on the books. However after an intervention Irako saw the real intentions and the evil of the Sky empire. Unbeknownst to his peers however, in taking all he had learnt from his employers without a return, he is being eternally hunted by the very agents he lived with.

Now with a resistance, who's aim is to topple the Sky Empire before it scars history Irako tries to be on the front-line as much as he can, to undo what he did under their regime and repent for all the things he regrets doing.

-Shikai-

-Release Command-
Keigai, Seijin-Gekidonami (Sage of the Raging Wave)

-Shikai Appearance-


-Shikai Abilities-
When released, Seijin-Gekidonami immediately evaporates any water within a ten meter radius. Shooting up a cloud of water vapor into the air causing a thick mist. This mist's concentration of water vapor can be changed at will and it forces an amplification of Osmosis in it's vicinity. This means that if the wielder choose to create a particularly thin mist with a low concentration of water vapor the water from his opponents body will start to seep through his skin to level out the water levels in the area, because the concentration of water in his victim is much higher than the surrounding area.
This will start to slowly weaken and dehydrate his opponents body, causing slowness of limbs and reactions along with sapping stamina, endurance and strength. This effect is quite slow but nevertheless dangerous.
On the flip side the wielder can choose to increase the concentration of water vapor in the air, forcing more water to seep into the victims body. This technique causes overhydration and lead to Hyponatremia an illness in which the water inside the body dilutes all the other necessary functions causing organ failure and loss of motor functions.
The mist that the wielder creates is modulated by the physical sword, water vapor attaches to the blade and detaches when he wishes to change the concentration. This also means that if the sword absorbs a lot of water vapor the wielder is able to cover his sword in water. When in this state there are three techniques he can use

Vapor cannon: Using this the wielder can point his sword at his opponent and quickly evaporate the water covering his sword causing it to shoot forward as steam, this can burn skin and cause damage to anyone caught in the blast.

Vapor bomb: Stabbing the ground with his sword the wielder is able to blast out water vapor in all directions creating an instant smoke-bomb effect, which can both allow the wielder to escape or to cover the area in his mist again.

Ice-Spikes: A simple technique that involves slashing the sword in any direction unleashing small blasts of water vapor, as it flies however it freezes in mid air creating spikes of ice that can impail opponents.

Vapor Shield: A defensive technique in which Sugo aligns the tip of his Zanpakuto with any incoming attacks. Quickly pressurizing the water around his sword he blasts it forward in an attempt to nullify or at least lessen the extent of the attack.

Vapor Venom: This ability can only be used if the opponent is stabbed while water is covering the blade. While inside his opponent the water covering the blade blasts from it's tip as vapor, ripping and searing the insides of his opponent and causing mist to exit from every orifice they have. It has been nicknamed the 'Smoking death' because once this is used the opponent falls to the ground with smoke rising from their mouth, ears and in some cases through the small spaces at the corner of their eyes.

-Bankai-

-Bankai Name-
Bankai, Kisaki-Fubatsuchouseki (Final release, Empress of the Indomitable Tide)

-Bankai Appearance-


-Bankai Abilities-
When released the entire area is covered in ice, all surfaces are frozen and adopt the shiny mirror-like appearance. The blade itself is now entirely composed of water and rapidly gives off more water vapor into the air as it is swung or moved. This means that the mist can grow to such a size it is nearly impossible to escape, whats more when attacked the opponents will be covered in a blast of water vapor every time the wielder swings his sword towards them.

Perhaps the most prominent technique of Sugos Bankai is the ability to rapidly change the ice in shape and size that covers the area, begin able to project spikes of ice from the ground make almost any surface in which the ice is present Sugos weapon. Forcing opponents to either consistently stay off the ground or risk being impaled.

-Rank-
Captain

-Personality-
Riku is incredibly abrasive, very difficult to get along with and independent. He seems to lack respect for almost everyone else although that is not entirely true. Often quiet almost everything gets under his skin, he finds small details annoying and these small annoyances serve to keep Riku concentrated as he seeks to end that which he dislikes. Anybody who knows Riku is often of the opinion that he is not the man you would want to watch your back, however there is no doubt within the Gotei 13 that his talents are worthy of his position.

Chigetsuei (Blood Moon)

-Sealed Zanpakutō Appearance-
Chigetsuei is quite a long sword, normally holstered on Rikus back. It's Ito (wrapping) is white with a slightly extended Tsuka (handle). The Tsuba (Guard) is a steel triangle in shape.

-Shikai-


-Release Command-
Keigai, Chigetsuei (Ruin, Blood Moon)

-Shikai Appearance-
Chigetsuei when released takes the form of two smaller hand held sickles.

-Shikai Abilities-
As would be expected with two smaller hand held weapons Chigetsuei gives Riku an incredible amount of dexterity, speed and agility. The sickles can be easily used to deadly effect giving a good back surface to deflect blows to a curved blade that can catch other out making it incredibly difficult to block or defend.

Chigetsuei is a Kido type Zanpakuto and as so it has a unique ability,
