Drift, Kumoru

Zanpakutou Sprit
Kumoru's true form is that of a Chinese style Dragon. Most of its features are different shades of blue, except for its mane which is white. Its mane constantly exhausts a white cloud like substance which darkens if Kumoru is angered. If angered enough, the clouds will spark with lightning. Komaru is usually mild tempered and easy to predict however he is very hard to reason with when he becomes angry.

Inner World
Kumoru's inner world is whats known as Cloud Space. It is a surreal realm in which gravity is distorted and everything is in constant motion. Fluffy white clouds fill the entirety of the world and can change almost instantly in to different kinds of clouds that create various forms of weather. Massive planets float in the distance and orbit around the center of the Cloud Space, where Shuhei first appears when he enters the Inner world.

Spirit Personality: Kumoru is a very wise Dragon who often speaks using riddles or proverbs. He is calm most of the time, however he does not react well to insults becoming enraged easily. Just as easily as he becomes enraged, he is easily calmed by a simple compliment. Overall Kumoru has a great sense of Pride as all Dragon's do.

Dormant Appearance
Shuhei's Zan (Kumoru) 2d9tgeo

Shikai Call: Drift

Shikai Appearance: Upon activation the blade becomes entirely white.

Shikai Abilities:When Shikai is activated, Kumoru's blade becomes whats known as a Reiatsu Cloud. It is a substance that bears all of the normal qualities of a cloud, however its hardness depends on the amount of Reiatsu poured in to it. Shuhei is able to make it harder than steel, or fluffy or even make it so light that it simply becomes a dense fog which makes it difficult to see. It is normally shaped to appear as a normal katana, however Shuhei is able to manipulate its shape as well as produce more Cloud from the guard to form larger shapes.

Techniques: I'll add them later

Bankai Call: Bankai, Kumoru no Unkai

Bankai Appearance: Upon activation, Shuhei's sword will explode creating a vast amount of Cloud. A new sword will be formed afterward from the Cloud.

Bankai Abilities: After activating Bankai, the limit upon how much cloud he is able to produce is lifted and he is able to produce a near infinite amount of cloud which gives his Bankai its name Unkai, which means Sea of Clouds. The Clouds produced will go through several stages before deactivating for the duration of the topic. The first stage is of course its usual Cloud state which possess amplified versions of its normal Shikai abilities. This stage is known as Saturation. During the Saturation stage, the clouds created by the initial explosion will absorb the spirit particles in the air and grow in size, density and power. When the clouds become fully saturated the second stage will begin.

In the Second stage of his Bankai, the clouds will begin to produce rain. Shuhei is able to manipulate the rain produced by the clouds to create various water based attacks as well as produce multiple water based blades which he can manipulate freely. The Reiryoku within the rain will mix with all other water sources in the surrounding area amplifying the strength of his water based attacks. When fighting against an opponent who uses water based attacks, the Reiryoku within the rain will cancel out the Reiryoku in the opponents attacks nullifying them granting Shuhei a great advantage in battle.

There are two third stages to Shuhei's Bankai. Shuhei has the option of choosing which one to activate and when, however both of the third stages can only be activated for a short amount of time and once they deactivate, Shuhei's Bankai will deactivate all together. The first of the two causes the Clouds to create mass quantities of lightning which Shuhei can manipulate freely. The second causes the rain to become snow granting him a set of ice based abilities. All of the abilities granted by Shuhei's bankai are relatively large scale and drain an incredible amount of Reiatsu from Shuhei limiting the use of his Bankai greatly. Activating the third stage of his Bankai will cause him to become greatly weakened for a short while leaving him almost defenseless however the power he receives during the third stage is incredible.
