Tomo

**Tomo Amamiya** (*友 雨宮, Lit: Friend Rain-Shrine*), once the Hollow named Toko is now a plus living in East Soul Society.

## ***History***

### **Background**

Tomo was once a girl living in a village near Nagasaki Japan, after her death during a visit to Nagasaki on the faithful day the Atomic Bomb dropped her resentment at her lack of friends, her untouchable status, the lack of knowledge about her father's location and her deafness she became the hollow known as Toko. Eventually Toko released herself from her Hollow form and was able to finally live her life as Tomo.

## ***Innate Abilities***

### **Divinity: Shinnoden**

Tomo is a user of Shinnoden and is capable of using it at stage 1, 2 and even using the advanced version of both stages to empower any non divine equipment she possesses. She can also use it in reverse to strip the divinity of things.

Due to her access to Shinnoden Tomo is also able to perform some of the 5 great divine techniques, sp far she can perform:

* **Mar'é** (Hebrew: מראה; English: Sight): A sensory technique that allows one to read auras to get a reading on emotions, thoughts and even predict moves or see glimpses of the past. Tomo is not very good at it.

### **Divinity: Nakanoden**

Tomo has access to a semi-unique type of Shinnoden known as **Nakanoden** (心の点, Mark of the Heart) which allows her to convert her energies into Heart based energies and pressures which grant her a number of benefits against hollows and tricks that are hard to perceive. Additionally while using this type of Shinnoden Tomo also gains access to **Kokoro Hitomi** (*Kanji*: **心の瞳**; *English*: **Eyes Which Reflect the Heart**) allowing her to directly perceive not only iatsus but also hearts, voids and other such things relating to them.

Through the use of Nakanoden Tomo has boosted her mental prowess many many fold and can now cast with much greater control than she could ever before while also instantly recuperating from heart fatigue. Tomo keeps nakanoden almost always active and rarely relies on Shinnoden now.

### **Divinity: Silence**

Tomo is able to use **Silence** (最煉素, Sairensu, Greatest Refinement of Oneself) to apply its passive effect to make her immune to time effects she doesn't wish to be affected by.

### **True Name: Water & Cycles Reiatsu**

As a hollow her Reiatsu did not manifest any elemental alignment but now as a plus Tomo's reiatsu is one with a quality of **Water & Cycles**, in short it's super energy efficient and water like in a myriad of ways.

Being a **Water & Cycles** Reiatsu bearer Tomo's reiatsu is able to exhibit some of the properties of water in that it can essentially become breathable water if Tomo so chooses, making her reiatsu tangible and usable for offensive, defensive or movement effects. Furthermore with the Cycle effect Tomo is able to control the cycling of her reiatsu out, into and around her body, controlling just how fast it can return and move in spiralling pattern in the air. In effect this means that Tomo despite having a finite and relatively small amount of reiatsu can recharge it incredibly fast especially after the boost provided by having the ability destroyed.

### **Shinkai**

Tomo has undergone the process to create a **Shinkai** (神解, Divine Release) using her divine and innate abilities in conjunction to better fight against evil in the world.

**Shinkai Effect**: "Activated" by the command **Shitogeru Toko Inuzuri** (為遂げる 兎子 戌吊, Apotheosis of my Past Self) it is currently being redesigned...
#### **Tenkai ~ Not Yet Achieved**

Tomo plans to upgrade her Shinkai to an even stronger level referred to as **Tenkai** (天解, Heavenly Release) but it is a work in progress still...

**Tenkai Effect**: Wip...
## ***Acquired Skills***

### **Casting**

#### **Basic Casting: Kaidō, Hanki, Aslah**

Tomo is a Kido Master capable of using high level kido without an outward incantation. Although she is able to use both Hado and Bakudo to an extent she is truly specialized in **Kaidō** (*回道, Turn Way/Healing Kido*) and she is also an avid user of **Hanki** (*反鬼, Reverse Demon*) which allows her to interrupt and disrupt both kido and maho efficiently. Tomo is also well versed in Aslah to cast without the expenditure of energy, relying on the energy of the world outside her to fuel her kido. She is knowledgeable as well in the use of many other kinds of casting from Dwarven Runes, Bount Fluch, Quincy Ginto, Western Witchcraft, among others, allowing her to not only make use of their ideas to make her own casting better but to also use techniques which opponents are unfamiliar with.

The following are some of the supplemental techniques Tomo uses constantly to make her casting better.

* **Kyōryoku Eishō** (協力 詠唱, Cooperative Incantation) - Like the Self-edge Alignment technique this is a cooperative technique for kido type zanpakuto (or others) who wish to assist their wielders. It consists in the zanpakuto performing the chant for the wielder while the wielder does the rest of the kido construction, making it both easier to cast the kido but also faster, with no loss in power and above all it frees up some concentration for the wielder of the Zanpakuto in the fight.
	+ **Kikin Eishō** (寄金 詠唱, Donation Incantation) - A special variation of this technique used by Tomo who has connected her Kidoto to her Zanpakuto Spirit allowing her to make use of the Zanpakuto Spirit's reiryoku as fuel for the casting of Kido, the wielder still performs the molding while the zanpakuto performs the chant but it can theoretically be reversed or combined with the inclusion of the kidoto linkage. Using this technique Tomo is able to not only expedite but empower her casting.

#### **Advanced Casting: Mahō (+ Gomahō) & Uradō**

Tomo is aware of both **Mahō** (魔法, Magic) and **Uradō** (裏道, Hidden Way) and is capable of increasing the power of her Kido with either discipline easily.

She is able to make use of **Mahō** so easily because of her possession of a Djinn Gem which allows her to not only more easily read reimyaku but also manipulate it to a degree making it easier to resonate with. It is to be noted that unlike most shinigami Tomo does not primarily use **Reihō** (霊法, Soul Magic) which is associated with Soul Society or **Genhō** (現法, Human Magic) which is associated with the Human World but rather primarily makes use of **Kuhō** (空法, Hollow Magic) which makes use of the properties of Hueco Mundo Reimyaku.

From her resonance training with Ekram Tomo became able to resonate with multiple entities and reimyaku simultaneously allowing her to make use of the coveted and incredibly powerful principle of **Gōmahō** (豪魔法, Grand Magic). Using this technique Tomo is able to create spells which make use of the properties of multiple worlds, notably Tomo is versed in 3 kinds of Maho although at different levels allowing her to combine the effects of the Reimyaku of **Hueco Mundo**, **Soul Society** and the **Human World**.

She is able to make use of **Uradō** in a way similar to her normal Kido casting and is able to easily acquire more Uraryoku to use in Urado through the use of Shinnoden, despite this Tomo is actually an Uradō amateur and much prefers using Mahō instead.

### **Atirvu: Southern Resonance Arts**

Tomo is an avid user of **Atirvu** (Tamil for Resonance; Japanese for Harmonic Arts), having trained under **Ekram** of all people in the intricacies of resonance. What she lacks in the breadth of things she can resonate with she makes up for in the quality and variety of ways she can resonate with the few things she does know how to resonate with.

The following are a number of techniques Tomo can use:

**Axilia** (Nahuatl for: Hunt) - Resonance techniques based on resonating with oneself or other beings.
* **Itotiliztli** (Nahuatl for: Dance) - A method of combat which employs the use of ever changing resonance to not only acquire resistance or immunity to an opponent's techniques but also the means the bypass their defenses and barriers while simultaneously preventing the opponent from doing the same.
* **Vrat** (Hindi for: Vow, Japanese for: Two Hearts Beat as One) - A special resonance technique that synchronizes the spiritual rhythm with an ally while also aligning the physical rhythm of one's heartbeat, allowing for one to achieve a deeper level of resonance which is nearly impossible to break via outside interference.
* **Yama** (Hindi for: Self Control, Japanese for Mind Mastery) - A resonance technique that synchronizes the brain waves of the user with the rhythm of one's breathing through resonance, allowing the user to control their level of consciousness, awareness, alertness and emotional stability with their breathing.
	+ **Sanvedana** (Hindi for: Empathy, Japanese for: Mind Mirror) - A resonance technique that synchronizes the brain waves of the user with the brain waves of the target allowing them to experience a mirroring of their mental state. Notably this does not grant the user access to their memories nor perfectly replicates emotions but it does allow one to more directly and precisely experience the emotions of the target.

**Atsuguk** (Inuktitut for: Extension/Exert Oneself) - Weapon or Item based resonance.
* **Apavartan** (Hindi for: Refraction, Japanese for: Branching Harmony) - A special resonance technique usable with the assistance of a **Majinoku** (魔神玉, Djinn Gem), which splits one's resonance into multiple slightly different frequencies allowing one to resonate with multiple people and or things simultaneously whereas one would be limited in what they could normally resonate with by their ability to divide their reiryoku.

### **Atem**

Tomo is an advanced user of the art of Atem using it as her primary means of melee combat if forced to do it, combining it with Zanjutsu.

The following are a number of techniques Tomo is able to use:

* **Gattai** (合体; Combination) - Tomo is able to perform Gattai to meld and unite her spiritual energy with the hollowfied reiryoku of Toko Inuzuri, enabling her to gain the properties of hollow reiryoku and reiatsu without becoming hollow herself.
	+ **Chōgattai** (超合体; Super Combination) - Tomo is able to perform Gattai to meld and unite her spiritual energy with the hollowfied reiryoku of Zuerst and the Water and Cycles elemental reiryoku of Ryujin Rosui enabling Tomo to gain the properties of hollow and water & cycles type reiatsu even when her spiritual energy is made different through conversions.
		- **Zentai** (全体, The Whole as One) - An advanced version of Gattai where Tomo performs Gattai using all resonating energies allowing all aspects of her being to become resonant and melded with that which she performs chogattai with increasing the overall effect further.

### **Zankensoki: Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hoho**

Tomo is a adept of Zanjutsu, Hakuda and Hoho, despite her comparatively low reiryoku and petite body Tomo excels in these arts by exploiting the properties of her reiatsu, her vast well of knowledge as well as just training it. As a Shinigami she is capable of using the core techniques of each of the methods of combat, combining all 3 properly to fight as a Shinigami would.

She knows each of these intermediate techniques:

* ***Hoho*** - **Shunpo** (*瞬歩, Flash Step*): Tomo's Shunpo like her hoho is facilitated by the innate at will tangibility of her reiatsu allowing her to push and be repelled by reishi better.
* ***Hakuda*** - **Henshin** (*変身, Transformation*): Tomo's henshin use consists of her lowering her offense and defense to increase her speed greatly. The stats are distributed so as to maximize Tomo's evasive ability, making it a speedy defensive stance.
* ***Zanjutsu*** - **Self-Edge Alignment** *[Zanpakuto Technique]*: Because Rosui is an elemental Zanpakuto and sits half way between kido and melee types she is capable of easily learning and performing Self-Edge Alignment to assist Tomo, furthermore because of her high grade, notoriety and secret caring personality she performs Self-Edge Alignment in a protective manner by default when wielded which complements Tomo's defensive use of her.
	+ **Kanchō** (*干潮, Low Tide*): An advanced Zanjutsu technique performed by Rosui and only Rosui which evolves **Self-Edge Alignment** by exploiting both the extra tactile nature of her water reiatsu to produce a more solid "reiatsu edge" than most and to use the cyclic nature of the reiatsu to turn this edge from a stable one into a highspeed buzzsaw/chainsaw like one.

### **Om**

Tomo learned some Om from Raghnailt to better understand how it's possible to counteract hollowdom, but she proved to have no talent due to being primordially deaf and thus heavily crippled in its usage.

Since Tomo is not remotely capable at om infusion or expenditure through kiai she must instead rely on repurposing the om from her true name and add it to the true name of other entities with names by lending her om away to them. In this manner she uses Om to supplement the use of Ryujin Rosui, her zanpakuto, empowering her Shikai and Bankai releases to make them more powerful, versatile and practical to use, depending on the application.

## ***Equipment***

### **Wedding Band**

The metal of the rings are a complex alloy of various kinds of metallic Reishis as well as Ura-Reishi, Reimyaku-Reishi, Om-Reishi and I-Reishi. The specific combination of all the reishi types is complex, but in short:

* Ura-reishi is used for its overall resistance to damage and wear, and composes a super-majority of the metal itself.
* Reimyaku-reishi is used to add additional levels of elemental protection to the ring.
* I-reishi made of Iatsu from mikaboshi's scythe is used to prevent the ring's heart from ever being hollowfied by the cult.
* Om-reishi is used to add Surutu's signature to the ring as its craftsmen, it can be infused into primordial reimyaku to summon a clone to fix them.
* The jewels in the rings are Artificially Synthesized **Majinoku**s (魔神玉, Djinn Gem) using Hueco Mundo Reimyaku turned into Reishi, laced with Iatsu, Tokuatsu and Reiatsu turned into Reishi impurities for color purposes.
	+ While all of the gems can be used in all the ways a Djinn Gem can be used, the Gem's cut is made to facilitate and maintain a low level resonance between those yielding the matching sets at all time. The various kinds of pressures converted into reishi facilitate the resonance to be on a physical, spiritual and heart level making it nearly unbreakable. The Iatsu impurities added inside *also* react to the user's will and if the user intends it can be used to stop the resonance for any reason.
* The entire ring is also then made divine with shinnoden, used in such specific and precise way so as to strengthen and exacerbate all the functions inherent in the materials and increases their unique interactions allowing for the ring to function as a whole.

### **Hibana no Homura**

**Hibana no Homura** (火花の炎, Flame of Flowers/Flower of Blazing Petals) is the modified **Flame of Nature** (自然の炎, Shizen no Homura) wielded by Tomo that has absorbed her **Kidoto**, **Haizento** and **Hagoromo** and taken their properties into its Tokuatsu composition.

The flame behaves and shapes itself into petal like flames or blooming flowers made of fire of blues, greens and cyan gradients. Because of its absorption of an Haizento the flame can burn oxygen to generate, amplify and store reiryoku, iryoku and om within itself. They can also, due to the hagoromo portion, render themselves into material-tokuatsu if needed and apply themselves organically or as a metallic substance.

The flames when they "ignite" anything will be able to incorporate themselves into any biological system, meld their energies through Gattai and provide said entity with either an Atem based buff (blut emulation, speeding up of bloodflow, etc) or promote their healing. These support effects are passive and can be sustained with nothing but oxygen consumption, or they can be amplified and sustained by reiryoku expenditure as well. Both modes can be toggled on and off by either Tomo or by Zuerst who provides a degree of intelligence to the flame, and controls all these functions.

Tomo can also use the Hibana no Homura as a replication and improvement of her now lost method of casting **Majo** (魔情, Water Witch Method). Since the flames can produce tanryoku or most other energies for her to use and can perform all the steps needed to perform casting from all soul societies Tomo can perform feats of casting using the flames that would be otherwise impossible. The flame is most well suited for Aslah and healing spells of all casting disciplines.

Notably in this way Tomo can spam medium level spells without issues and without expending any energy, and then upgrade it into maho all in the same instant of casting. She can also use the flames as a medium to upgrade any casting done without the flames such as the release of shikai or casting done with iryoku.

### **Seikai**

As per the guidance of Yuka, Tomo has undergone the process to create a **Seikai** (*製解, Made-Release*). Because of her relationship and particular use of Zuerst, Tomo's Seikai is also a **Kyōmeijō** (共鳴状; Resonance Form).

**Seikai Effect**: Activated by the command ... it is currently being redesigned...
#### **Banseikai ~ Not Yet Achieved**

Tomo's **Banseikai** (*卍製解, Complete Made-Release*) is a work in progress still...

**Banseikai Effect**: Wip...
## ***Zanpakuto: Ryūjin Rōsui***

**Ryūjin Rōsui** (*竜刃 老水 Draconic Blade Ancestral Water*) is an ancient Zanpakuto, a sister Zanpakuto to **Ryūjin Jakka** (*流刃 若火, Flowing Blade Young Flame*), they are mirrors of each other in most aspects and complete opposites in others. Like its brother sword Rosui is the most ancient water type zanpakuto and may be the oldest elemental type zanpakuto itself.

### ***Shikai***

**Ryūjin Rōsui** does not possess the highest offensive power of all zanpakuto like its brother but what it does possess however is the highest versatility potential of any zanpakuto in soul society. When released in its shikai form, like Ryujin Jaka it does not change appearance but it creates a very similar effect.

**Shikai Effect**: The activation chant is the haiku **Furu ike ya | kawazu tobikomu | mizu no oto.** (*古池 蛙飛び込む 水の音, Old pond, Frog jumps in, Kerploosh*). Ryujin Rosui is said to possess (or itself be) the water of the **Sanzu River** (*三途の川, River of Three Crossing to the Afterlife*). Its ability is then being capable of releasing from itself, its scabbard or through its wielder untold, potentially infinite gallons of water and have absolute control over this water (and this water only). The water of the Sanzu River is neither only reishi nor kishi as the river divides the world of the living and the world of the dead as such it can produce either kishi water, reishi water or both simultaneously as it does by default. The volume of water the user can control and the actual flow rate of the water (as in the water the shikai can generate per second, and the speed in which it is generated) increases with the mastery and familiarity of the user.
***Techniques***
* **Ryūjin** (*龍神, dragon god/god of water*): The most versatile, powerful and preferred technique of Rosui, it is an attack whose name sounds like part of the zanpakuto's name. The attack simple creates and directs a water dragon to slash at with hardened fangs and slam against the enemy like a powerful waterfall. Hado and Bakudo can be added to it to strengthen its attack power.
* **Asagiri** (*朝霧, Morning Mist*): A simple technique where Tomo will generate and manipulate mist. Tomo is able to cast kido through this mist for a variety of effects, most often healing and other utility.
* **Suigetsu** (*水月, Water Moon*): An application of Ryujin Rosui wherein Tomo will manipulate the water in the environment in whatever form it is in such a way as to generate an optical illusion by means of light refraction, reflection and diffusion. By adding kido to the illusion can be strengthened to make it more convincing by creating multiple reiatsu signatures or masking them. This technique can also be used to reflect light based attacks.
* **Kaifū** (*海風 Sea Breeze*): A technique where Tomo will scatter the water created by Rosui in a form even more scattered than mist, turning it into humidity, Tomo can then manipulate the water in the air to control a considerable portion of the atmosphere to replicate air manipulation. By adding Kido onto it Tomo is capable of strengthening this technique allowing her to actually considerably affect the battlefield or an opponent.
* **Hyōzan** (*氷山 Iceberg*): A technique where Tomo will generate water and mold it in a defensive shape while simultaneously changing its state from a liquid to a solid creating a solid ice barrier or shield. By adding Kido onto it Tomo is capable of hardening and improving the technique with barrier kido, and hierro as well.
* **Onsen** (*温泉, Hot Spring*): An all purpose technique where Tomo will connect the water that ryujin rosui creates with the water in the atmosphere by means of hydrogen bonds and utilize this as a means to stop bleeding, change the humidity in a place, generate ice and etc. It is effectively a healing technique that can be combined with raido for greater effect.

### ***Bankai***

**Ryūjin Rōsui** (龍神 臘水, *Dragon God of the Sea, Water of the 12th month of one's existence* **or** *Dragon God Final Water*) Is the Bankai form of **Ryūjin Rōsui** (竜刃 老水, *Draconic Blade Ancestral Water*), in this form the blade itself blooms with colorful algae in some spots without any actual change to its structure. Similarly to its sister blade **Zanka no Tachi** (残火の太刀, *Longsword of the Remnant Flame*) The Bankai has 4 "states" it can be in and it can be activated in multiple states simultaneously, these 4 states are traced along 2 axis:

* **Water Axis** - East and West
* **Cycles Axis** - North and South

Tomo is also able to combine her **Bankai** with the use of Shinnoden to make it more powerful and synergize it with her **Seikai**.

**Ryūjin Rōsui, Higashi: Sanzu no Okawa** (龍神 臘水, "東": 三途の大川, *Dragon God Final Water, East: Great River to The Other World*)
Tomo becomes one with her sword and the sanzu river allowing her to produce even more water and manipulate it even more precisely and powerfully, in essence a straight upgrade to the shikai effect.
**Shinnoden**: By using Shinnoden the water produced will become instantly purified providing Tomo with a near bottomless supply of Uraryoku for Urado or Aslah.
**Nakanoden**: By using Nakanoden the Kidō which makes up the effect becomes semi-conscious and better controllable under Rosui providing a tremendous boost in the precision and degree of control over the water.
**Ryūjin Rōsui, Nishi: Datsue-ba Noroi** (龍神 臘水, "西": 奪衣婆呪い, *Dragon God Final Water, West: Hell Hag's Hex*)
This form gives the user absolute control over the molecules of water making up an entity with a soul that the sword cuts. By default Tomo is considered cut by the blade which gives her absolute control over 70% of her body so long as this ability lasts. If the user willingly cuts another entity they are able to then manipulate its water as opposed to its own water, but powerful reiryoku will overcome this control entirely or weaken it.
**Shinnoden**: By using Shinnoden the water which is enchanted by the kido effect is made to either buff or debuff the target by default.
**Nakanoden**: By using Nakanoden the water which is enchanted by the kido effect is able to also influence the thoughts not just the body of a slashed individual, permitting a greater degree of control.
**Ryūjin Rōsui, Minami: Higanbanamitsu** (龍神 臘水, "南": 彼岸花蜜, *Dragon God Final Water, South: Red Spider Lilly Nectar*)
Ryūjin Rōsui's South is the literal fountain of youth and the crimson water it produces can "reverse the cycle of life and death". It's a super healing potion that also de-ages you slightly. Before the birth of Xezbeth rosui could only store so much at a time but recently after certain cosmological events she is now able to draw it forth more rapidly.
**Shinnoden**: By using Shinnoden Rosui is able to more easily access this water allowing Tomo to make use of this ability much more frequently. Furthermore by applying shinnoden Tomo is better able to djust the restorative properties of the water so it can heal even better.
**Nakanoden**: By using Nakanoden the crimson water which is drawn forth can further better restore spiritual damage and will apply itself more precisely providing an overall buff to its healing, lesser than that of Shinnoden however.
**Ryūjin Rōsui, Kita: Nehan** (龍神 臘水, "北": 涅槃, *Dragon God Final Water, North: Nirvana*)
Ryūjin Rōsui North is the water of the womb, and the primordial sea from which all life was born from. The water produced in this form can "begin a new cycle of life and death" in that its effect is literally to give birth to life. The water produced from this form will spontaneously generate microscopic algae which will begin to photosynthesize and produce life energy in the form of Reiryoku for the wielder to use. Once deactivated the algae and the created reiryoku will retreat into the Saya of the zanpakuto and lose their effect or simply dry up and wither away.
**Shinnoden**: By using Shinnoden the flowers generated are made extra efficient and divine allowing them to generate Tenryoku and Reiryoku at ever greater levels!
**Nakanoden**: By using Nakanoden the flowers generated are able to produce Ten'i and Iryoku as well as Reiryoku, which makes them more versatile as it provides them with a small degree of sentience as well.
