## **Hollow Mask**

Nearly a third of Shinigami(30%) are born with the innate ability to manifest their hollow mask, though not all of them know it.

At level 30, travel to the Soul Society, approach Shinji to awaken your dormant Hollow powers. (30% chance you have the Vaizard gene).

You can train your mask to last longer by attacking and defeating mobs or taken damage while having your mask on, the rate is higher within the mobs in the Vaizard base.

After rebirthing once and obtaining 500 mask time, you can access Vasto Lorde form.

## Mask types and mask perks

There are 6 masks available to players, all with different perks:

**ICHIGO: + 1 Movement speed, +2 in Vasto form.**

**KENSEI: 15% melee damage, + 30% in Vasto form.**

**LISA: +5% crit chance, +10% in Vasto form.**

**HEYORI: +10% crit damage, +15% in vasto form.**

**SHINJI: +10% damage reduction, +20% in Vasto form.**

**HACHIGEN: 30% Reiatsu converted to Kido damage, +4 Kido Cast Time reduction.**

## Mask boost

Additionally to a perk shinigami gain a stat increase while donning a mask.

Mask drain is tied to the mastery of it, 1 mastery equals one second of mask time, so at cap mastery (1000) you would have 1000 seconds of mask.

For vasto mode the drain is doubled, so in that case at capped mask mastery the drain would be 2 seconds per point. 500 Seconds of mask.

## RANKS

In soul society there are 13 squads, each with seated officers, the highest seated officers being captains.

There can be only one captain, and one lieutenant per squad.

In order to become a lieutenant, reach level 80.

In order to become a captain you must know bankai, be level 90, and depending on if the position is taken or not defeat a current captain in battle.

Being a captain has its perks since you gain access to the power up, "Limit release" upon becoming one.

Limit release is limited to Captain and Lieutenant level shinigami.
