Khione, The Frozen Goddess

[Methias]

Zanpakutō Template

Name: Khione

Manifestation:

Spoiler:

Khione is a beautiful, young looking woman. With white, flowing long hair reaching down to her feet and sapphire blue eye's, she could truly make any man look twice. Her full lips tend to send a shiver down most people's spines, however, as they are as colorless. Almost as if she had been surrounded by ice all her life. However, her smile seems oddly heartwarming, as if she can make the ice she represents melt.

Clothing wise, she appears to be always ready to do battle. Her attire seems to represent a uniform, in such a style it could also show royalty. She wears a long blue coat, reaching down past her knees. The coat is trimmed with gold lacing, as well as several jewels. Her arms reach out from her sleeves, that barely cover the top half of her upper arm with a black and white decoration.

Beneath her coat is a plated armor, covering her chest down to her upper thigh. The same color as her coat, its main utility is clearly defense. Her hands and arms are almost covered with black gloves, only her fingers reaching out from within them. Attached to them, across the whole lower arm, is a plate of metal that could easily be used for defending incoming attacks. Thigh high lace suspenders are attached to her legs, although these seem to offer no additional benefit.

By her side, at all times, is her sword. This weapon is her prized possession, and is said to have inspired the legend of Excalibur. A weapon so light, yet so strong its name would echo through the ages. Its hilt is both incredibly magnificent and elegant. It is black, with several gold designs which indicate a strong connection with the night. After all, it's always coldest at night.

The sword itself is of a high level design. The blade seems to be both strong and light, a perfect combination for battle. The blades length is around one hundred and twenty centimeters, with a thickness of around fifteen. As such, it is a relatively large weapon, allowing for both effective defense and offense. The center of the blade is engraved with several markings upon a blue surface. These markings are said to have the ability to create snow that is so deadly that it would simply create death. The hilt, however elegant the blade is, is truly a work of art. It is black, with several gold rings wrapping around the wielders hand. These rings make for an effective defense and allow for more control over the blades weight (Works like a counter balance). The bottom of the blade is also decorated with a golden design, continuing to spiral around until the four points meet at the bottom.

Finally, a crown sits atop her head, indicating that she is of some kind of royalty.

Release Command: Freeze the world with your icy wrath, Khione

Family: Snow / Ice

Level: Bankai

Sealed Description: Methias' sealed blade is typically generic of a Shinigami's. It appears as a Katana, with a blade around seventy centimeters long. The hilt is black, with a black piece of fabric hanging from the bottom. This fabric is around eighty centimeters in length, and wraps around his hand quite comfortably. This guarantee's that the blade can never leave his hand, even if somebody tries to disarm him. However, this is not used offensively. It is essentially only used, in Methias' hands, defensively. As such, the only time the blade leaves his hand is if he needs to defend a position he cannot reach with just the length of his arm and blade alone.

Shikai Description:

Spoiler:

Once his Shikai is released, Methias' sword goes through a complete transformation. Upon speaking his Call Out Command, his blade seems to look as if it were covered in snow. While this happens, the whole sword seems to grow in length, especially the hilt. He then hits his sword on the floor, the snow flakes falling from the sword to the ground in one smooth move.

After this is done, his swords appearance has finally complete. The hilt is now around thirty centimeters long, although still usable with one hand. The hilt is now brown, with several icy circles wrapping around it. They are proportioned perfectly to fit Methias' hands, be it he is wielding it with one hand or with two.

With no guard, the hilt leads straight on to the blade. The whole blade seems to be made of ice, although its cutting potential is higher than steel. As such, the whole blade is a light shade of blue. Close to the hilt the ice is shaped in such a way it appears to be both a symbol and a decoration. This tends to make the sword appear in the same shape as any other of its kind, however, two spikes cut out from the bottom of the blade. These can be used as an additional cutting too as well as the blade.

Bankai Release Phrase (Optional) Ban-kai, Sono Touketsu Megami: Khione (Bankai, The Frozen Goddess: Khione)

Bankai Description:

By her side, at all times, is her sword. This weapon is her prized possession, and is said to have inspired the legend of Excalibur. A weapon so light, yet so strong its name would echo through the ages. Its hilt is both incredibly magnificent and elegant. It is black, with several gold designs which indicate a strong connection with the night. After all, it's always coldest at night.

The sword itself is of a high level design. The blade seems to be both strong and light, a perfect combination for battle.

*Taken from Khione's Description

This is the blade that Methias wields whilst in Bankai. However, there is one very subtle difference. The markings that are engraved into the blade are not visible, to the point they are non-existent. (These will only come out when Methias learns a technique to activate them. Currently, only Methias' inner hollow has access to the technique that utilizes these.)

Shikai Ability: Khione's Shikai ability is both incredibly versatile and easy to use. Upon releasing this state, Methias can create a blizzard of snow that is directed from the blades hilt. This snow moves incredibly quickly, and more can be created by using more Reiryoku. It generally moves in a straight line where he is pointing, and causes cuts and freezing upon contact. If enough fuel is used, it can even freeze entire limbs. This snow can then be manipulated in ways Methias see's fit.

Bankai Ability: Methias' abilities tend to stay the same, with the obvious power increases that take place from Shikai to Bankai. The snow that is created could now completely freeze an entire opponent while before it would be hard to freeze a limb. Cutting power has increased. The blade itself is lighter.

The techniques used in Shikai are now improved. Stronger and more devastating.

Inner World:
Khione lives in a frosty world covered in gravestones, snow falling upon the land constantly. It is said that each of these gravestones represents a sin, and the more gravestones there are, the more powerful Methias' darker side becomes. Apart from that, however, the world she lives in is genuinely beautiful. The sky is always dark, yet covered in stars which each make the night sky that little bit more special. She herself lives in a small house, looking over the graveyard. She is said to be the guardian of this place, and must spend her time watching over it.

Zanpakutō Spirit Persona: Khione could be considered a shy, perky and happy young woman. She looks upon her world with a genuine hint of happiness, and considers Methias to be her 'lover'. This is in the sense of battle, where they would dance and become one for those few moments. She is easily intimidated, and hides whenever she meets someone new. Methias remembered when he first met her when she was hiding behind a tree. She is also very curious about Methias' life, and often asks what he has been doing when he is training his Bankai.

Techniques:

Shikai:

Name: Avalanch
Effect: This is said to be Methias' strongest ability in his Shikai state. Firstly, he manipulates the snow he has created into a whirlwind around the opponent. If they try to escape from the sides, the snow will cut and freeze them on contact. Shortly after this has initiated, Methias appears above the whirling mass of snow and swings his sword. A large cresent wave of snow is then created, shooting towards the floor of the creation. If contact is made, the opponent is literally crushed by three tonnes of pressure. However, if the opponent gets out of the top before Methias gets there, they will be able to completely avoid any damage. As well as this, the attack can be dodged while inside, but it is considerably difficult.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: Cooldown of three posts before this technique can be used again.

Name: Shell of Ice
Effect: A simple technique using the Manipulation of his Snow to great effect. He firstly utilizes the Shikai's ability, in order to create the snow to fuel the attack. As he does, it stops just a meter away from him and forms a wall. This wall can protect against Kido up to level 33 (Sokatsui). Attacks made above this level are weakened by that amount.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: Cooldown of two posts.

Name: Defile
Effect: Methias swings his sword towards the ground, stopping just before he hits the floor. Upon doing so, the snow he has created begins to circle him. He then proceeds to lift his blade in the air, and thrust it into the ground. The snow is then shot randomly, all around him. This could, potentially, be more damaging than 'Avalanch'. However, because the attack is made to attack in multiple directions, an opponent will never feel the full power of this attack.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: Four post Cooldown.


Bankai:

Name: Kyousei Avalanch (Great Avalanch)
Effect: The Bankai form of Methias' technique "Avalanch". The set up remains the same, however, the snow that is created in the whirlwind is much stronger, and has the potential to completely freeze limbs with ease. When he appears above, he swings his sword three times. Each time, a crescent wave of snow crushes down towards the target. These blasts EACH generate six tonnes of pressure, or eighteen tonnes if all three hit.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: 3 post Cooldown - Guaranteed to induce half Mask state.


Name: Kyousei Shell of Ice
Effect: The Bankai form of Methias' technique "Shell of Ice". Once the shell is created, it can now stop Kido up to level 63 (Raikoho). Attacks above this level are weakened by an amount equal to this amount.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: 3 post Cooldown. - Two uses induces the Half Mask State


Name: Shin Megami Tensei (True Goddess Reincarnation)
Effect: The user firstly places his hand at the bottom of the blade. Moving their fingers across the blade, the markings appear on the blade once more. Upon doing so, the users abilities are increased to a heightened state, tapping into the true power of The Frozen Goddess. The snow that is created can literally cut through steel, meaning it could effective destroy the body of any race. Kyousei Avalanch's pressure is now doubled (From six tonnes to twelve per slash). Kyousei Shell of Ice can now stop Kido up to level 88.
Post usage limit and or Cool down: Lasts three posts, after which Bankai is exited and cannot be re-entered for four posts. Can only be used once per battle.
Current Limitation: Only usable during a Half-Mask State.
