Byakko Ramiel ;; 3-2 ;; Adjuchas Hollow ;; Male
Byakko moved silently through the night air, the blanket Mists slowly spreading out around him. Though his Mist Cloak lay heavy on his shoulders, Byakko could feel the stir of wind and the rainclouds passed overhead. Tonight would be a good night for Hunting. Hollows tended to prefer the Night, and a Rainy night like this meant that few humans would be out in the Street. The perfect conditions for lowly Hollows to pick off the wandering Soul or Living Human. And that made it the perfect time for Byakko to do his OWN Hunting. Lower Hollows where simple minded things, and of not much value, but even they could find use as sustenance. And the Hunt might be the very thing Byakko needed to get his mind of the Dreams.
As Byakko watched the town below, eyes out for any sign of Hollows, when he heard from the ground, A voice call out to him. Turning, Byakko looked down to see a young man, dress in most peculiar clothing, staring back up at Him. While most would have been surprised, Byakko, though most of his movements hidden by his Mist Cloak, shifted into a defensive stance. That this man could see him at all was surprising enough, but few among the living knew the name "Hollow". His first thought was that the young man was a Fullbringer, though Byakko quickly dismissed that; most of the Fullbringers knew of Byakko, and would address him appropriately, and he in turn, new many, if not by name, then by Face. Next he thought Quincy, but the Reiatsu Signature was different. When the young man drew the large sword however, It only drew more questions.
None the Less, looked down at the Young Shinigami in silence, his eyes hidden by the blank, near featureless Mask, and his Tiger-like body covered by the Misty cloak. The Shinigami's question was obviously sarcastic, and Byakko did not have time to play game. But if the strange little shinigami wanted to play, then he would learn that you do not play cat and mouse with a Tiger.
Lifting his head high, Byakko called back down, infusing his voice with a sarcastic arrogance, as if to question why the Answer was not already obvious,
"Why, my good Sir, what other reason does a Hollow have to be out on such a fine Night? but to Hunt!" Byakko knew the comment was likly be taken the wrong way, but then again, that was Point. A fluttered mind was an easily distracted mind. And that would be Byakko's chance to slip away. He did not need a fight with a Shinigami tonight. Not when there where Hollows in town, ripe for the picking.

Active Effect:
Cloaked Form:In His Cloaked form, Byakko's Mists become much thinner, still able to distort vision, but no longer able to completely hide him or others. Byakko also looses much of his speed and agility, however, with addition of the protective cloak and heavy, hard mask, and more solid body, Byakko is able to both Hit much harder, and take more Hits, relying more on sheer, raw power, vrs the more Stealthy, agile approach of his Mist form.
Strength:
- Allows Byakko to move concealed within the Mist, his presence hidden in the Reiryoku laced Mists. (Opponent takes a -2 RA Hit towards their ability to sense Reiatsu, increasing his Stealth when both Byakko and them are in the Mists. When either is outside the Mists, reduced to -1 RA).
- By shaping the Mist into different forms, Byakko can greatly increasing his attack range and potential. He is able to use this trait to actively "chase" targets with his Mists, though the farther the Mists spreads, the thinner it becomes.
- The Think Mist dampens Sounds and Light, reducing the power of Kido or abilities that rely on them. (-1 RA to Light and Sound based Techs that pass through the Mists).
- Weaker Winds (-1RA) or things like Aerosolized Poisons or Oils are overwhelmed by the Mists.
- While in his Cloaked Form (Dormant Mask), Byakko's more Solid body allows him to strike harder, and take more Hits (+1RA Physical Defense and Attack).
- The Mists surrounding Byakko impair Normal Sight, limiting viability for those without advanced sight to 10 feet in Mist Form, and 25 feet in Cloaked form.
Weakness:
- Like true mist, the Mist of Kirino Nakano Kemono is easily dispersed by Wind and Heat. While Strong Winds or Flames (+2RA, Mists reform in 1 Post) can dispel the Mists, and Mild Winds and Flames (+1RA, active post only) can temporarily part sections.
- Lighting and electric based attacks power are multiplied greatly within the mist, harming all within, both Byakko and the User, though any such energy can not escape the conductive environment. (+1RA to Electric based attacks within the Mists, and gain a 20% range boost. Damage is spread out to all within the Mists)
- Condensed spirit particles may violently explode under certain conditions such as intense heat (+3RA Fire based Techs, Fire Based Kido #85+. Mist Destroyed in this manner take 2 posts to reform, and count as Mask Damage if in Mist Form) or immense pressure.
- While in his Cloaked form, Byakko's Mists become thinner, preventing him form hiding effectively, and reducing its dampening effects. The Heavy Mask and Cloak also slows him down, making him Less agile. (-1 RA towards all Dampening effects)
