Name:Jonathan Reise
Alias: Shakan
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Class: Fullbringer
Faction: Viz Corp
Rank: Spaztic Reality Manager
PvP Availability: With Permission
Description: At 6'2" and weighing in at 215lbs Shakan can be said to be a handsome example of a human male if not somewhat bizarre. He is a built man, his figure leaning towards being a bit more muscular than normal and kept fit by rigorous training regiments. The one thing that people would notice are his eyes... his right being a deep crimson color and the left being blue. The crimson iris of his right eye is a condition related to his fullbring and his reishi. His hair is white in color and would come down an inch or two below his ear lobes however it is swepted slightly back into larger, flowing spikes naturally, no mousse/spray/gel required!
A mid thigh length red coat/black undershirt and long, baggy black pants covers his muscular frame. Two black leather straps cross across his mid torso which keep his two swords slung against both of his sides towards his back. White socks and black steel tip work boots and black form fitting leather gloves completes the ensemble with a few buckles on the coat and boots to finish. Sometimes when Shakan is trying to relax or has just gotten out of the shower he'll simply don a tight white tank top and the pants instead.
Shakan's fullbring focus, an ovular, crimson crystal has been grafted to the back of his neck at the base of his skull. This was done by having the crystal surgically put into place and attached to the spine by a crack team of surgeons. It's placement makes it partially concealed by his hair and removal is a virtual impossibility, outside of surgery.
Reiatsu Color: Crimson
Personality:
On the exterior to a stranger, Shakan can be a gruff jackass that has a tendency to be quick to piss off. To people he are friends or at least... friendly...ish... with... he can be more aloof and poke fun. Either way... he tends to be a blunt ass. Even so... he would go to great lengths to help and protect those he considers innocent and those he considers a friend.
On the inside however harbors a quiet and darker side to him few have seen. Even deeper yet is a sinister... maliciousness buried deep in his sub-conscience that not even he is aware of.
Family:
Father: Carl Reise: Alive (whereabouts unknown)

Weapon Description:
Shakan's sword is a rather large weapon that takes the form of an immense cleaver. It reaches a length of 5'7" in total length with a blade length of over 4' in itself. It has a rather unusual look, featuring a unique white color to the entire blade with a black handle that runs up nearly the length of the back of the blade. In between where the blade and handle connect is a red cylinder that runs the same length along the blade as the handle and seems to connect the three parts together tightly. The sword is slung a little low on Shakan's back.

History:
Shakan was born in America with the name Jonathan to two spiritually awakened parents. The father... Carl Reise... is a mechanical engineer with a hobby for making weapons of different sorts with whatever materials he had on hand. He is also a High Spec of moderate strength while his mother... Sabrina... was a housewife as well as a Fullbringer. While they were aware... hollow appearances were far rarer than in Karakura town so neither of them had the opportunity to fully develop or even understand their abilities. This proved fatal to Sabrina in particular due to the nature of her Fullbring... that being of a pair of cursed crimson crystals. These crystals, the size of human eyes, were slung on a necklace she wore and fed on the energy of hollows she and Carl defeated. However, because hollows were a rare occurrence, it also fed upon her own energy slowly over time.
When John was born Sabrina was in a much weakened state, too weak for her to survive child birth. She died giving life to a son with one red eye and one blue eye in the hospital bed, Something Carl despised him for, blaming him for her death. This led to a, difficult upbringing for him at the hands of his father. There was no love... just regret.
Because of this friction between the two, John always got into fights with other kids and even with a few adults. He himself took up martial arts of different kinds and showed a keen aptitude for them. By the time John was 6 he discovered his spiritual awareness one late night. He had awoken from a dream to see the spirit of a woman walking out of his room. More curious than scared John followed this spirit to the basement door that was slightly ajar where the spirit just disappeared. He heard his father downstairs working on a project. Normally this was usual but this time John's curiosity got the better of him and crept downstairs quietly. From the steps he watched his father working on what looked to be a pair of strange looking swords. Before he was discovered John crept back to his room.
He knew deep down it was something that wasn't normal, seeing the spirit that is but it kept happening from that point on. John became accustomed to it. However when he was 16 him and his father were walking through a small town when John noticed the spirit of a little girl crying in an alley way. While Carl went into a thrift store, his son ventured over to the spirit and began talking to her for a few minutes. He didn't notice that his father had walked out of the store and watched him talk to the spirit girl, but never spoke a word about it.
Carl up to this point was suspicious of his son's awareness but didn't actually see it until now. When they got home his father went up to the attic and pulled out a small wooden box wrapped in 3 layers of cloth from a large chest. Taking this box downstairs he handed it to John knowing full well what it was and what it had done to his wife and hoped it would do the same to John. He told him it was a memento from his late mother, a gift for her son to remember her by. Later that night while his father was away at a bar John opened the box and took out the two crimson crystals free of the necklace his mother wore. The moment his skin touched the crystals' cool exterior, they began to glow brightly. It was then that they tapped into John's suppressed and unrealized reishi... releasing it from its dormancy and began absorbing it. It wasn't malevolent to him though, it felt completely natural and he now actually felt complete.
This was the moment where he would forever leave behind his spiteful father but not before taking something from him. Placing the crystals into his pocket he went back downstairs and up to where the now finished twin swords lay, the same two he saw 10 years earlier. Taking them off the rack along with the sheaths built for them he made his way back to his father's room and took his stash of money, $1200. Stuffing his newly acquired weaponry as well as some clothes into a duffel bag he left the house only to run into something that struck fear in him, his first encounter with a hollow. It was a tall but very weak one by normal standards however it was still frightening to John.
A sweep from the hollow's large hand sent him into the wall of his house from where he would fall to the ground on his hands and knees along with the crystals that would fall out of his pocket and land in front of him. In a daze he slowly scooped them up in his right hand before the hollow made its move, staring into them as they began to glow a dull crimson Just as the hollow moved in to devour him, John flung his hand up as if to try and defend himself from the creature however the attacked would never come. As his arm was swung up at the hollow a crimson wave of energy arched through it, cutting it to be cut in half and to dissolve into nothing.
He was baffled for a moment but got to his feet quickly and placed the crystals back into his pocket. Picking up his duffel bag he ran off into the night. Using some of the money he had stolen he took a train out of the area and far away from the clutches of his father.
For years he traveled from place to place around the continent, discovering, learning and improving his abilities with his Fullbring but also with his mechanical swords, discovering their abilities and their connection to his fullbring through battles with hollow kind. After 10 years of travel he now comes to Karakura town, his power having evolved by leaps and bounds as well as his knowledge and personality. He now goes by the name Shakan, chosen as a clever and subtle insult to his family name, Shakan meaning "to settle down" in hebrew and Reise in german meaning "travel." His real name had been dead for a long time to him. His Fullbring was sewn into the leather gloves he wears at this point, bringing its power to a town with a history of spiritual upheaval the likes of which he has yet to see.
Five years later, a date with the Vizard Corporation
It had been five long years since Shakan took part in the biggest battle he'd ever seen. He had slain some hollow and defeated an adjucha but more importantly he finally found a source of answers to questions he long asked. He was taken in by the lone Onigami Mijek and the Vizard elder Kuro Akuma where they showed him the truths of the spiritual world. He was taught all of it, the history rich in bloodshed and sacrifice. It was overwhelming at first to Shakan but he eventually came to accept it all as truth. For the first time in his life he now could see the world in its complex full spectrum of color as opposed to just simply being black and white.
Shakan had become a part of Viz. Co. It was here that his training had begun, fully funded by Kuro's corporation and under the watchful eye and tutelage of both him and Mijek, his power grew. Perhaps they saw more potential in him than even he himself knew. He was given a job at Viz Corp as a member of the Spaztic Reality Club's Council as well as his own place to crash in whenever he wasn't training or at the gym. For all of this Shakan felt great appreciation as he felt he was a part of something greater.
Life outside of Viz. Co
During those five years he had made other friends outside of the corporation. He remembered his brief encounter with Drystan and sought him out. This led to the meeting and befriending of Clyde and his group of people he had trained himself, all spiritually aware like Shakan was. Whenever he had the chance outside of work he would stop by the newly reconstructed Manga Shop to train with them. Through this he got to know them all rather well, especially the woman named Miwa. It was a common sight to see the two pulling pranks and practical jokes on each other which usually led to some sort of fight breaking out that led to Shakan getting his ass handed to him in complete humiliation. He enjoyed the company though, he saw each of them as friends and this also drove him to continue training with a ferocious fervor.
Teisuke's assault and the next three years
During Shakan's tenure as a council member, he kept busy running day to day operations of the club and his training. So much so that he actually failed to realize his mentor's disappearance, only realizing it after a few days of failing to contact either Mijek and Kuro. In fact, it seemed that all of the vizards under Viz. Co.'s employ had gone missing, no where to be found. Fearing the worst, Shakan investigated Mijek's office files as well as the main office building of Viz. Co. itself, looking for clues. All he found were the spiritually aware employees working the business, no trace of the vizards could be seen. Before he could inform anyone though, a spiritual being named Teisuke and his army began their assault on Karakura town. Drystan, a spiritually aware human and alchemist, found Shakan in the club and brought him up to speed on what was happening.
Shakan rushed to the scene with Drystan and saw for himself the power of Teisuke. He aided in the evacuation of the town by acting as a barrier between the fleeing civilians and the incoming hollow wherever he could, taking the fight to them head on. His training under Mijek and Kuro had developed Shakan immensely, making him one of the strongest spiritually aware humans in Karakura Town. He needed every ounce of his strength to fend off the starved hollow horde, forming his two original swords into his cleaver sword. He managed to slay a great many hollow, but they just kept coming and they seemed to get more and more desperate. The fighting was intense, so much so that it pushed Shakan's power to the point where it fused the sword, permanently leaving it in it's cleaver form. During the fighting, one hollow managed to rip off one of Shakan's gloves, sending it flying into the stampede of hollow. This didnt affect his fullbring power at all but he lost one of the two crystals sewn to his gloves that made up his fullbring focus. Unbeknownst to Shakan, one of Teisuke's underlings from the Underground would find the glove and the crystal sewn into it. Picking it up, this underling would make his way back to the Underground with it.
Once the evacuation was complete, Shakan retreated back to where Drystan, Clyde and the others were located and could do nothing more than watch the main battle between Teisuke and the Shinigami Captains. It took everything he had to keep his anger in check and not rush to join the captains in the fight, even though he knew he was outclassed. When all seemed hopeless, Nonko arrived and detonated some sort of Reiryoku bomb. While this bomb utterly destroyed Teisuke, it had an immense affect on everyone that was spiritually aware, including Shakan. To him, it felt like his spirit was being ripped away from him, surviving through his strong will alone. He would survive, but he would fall unconscious to the ground. He fell into a deep sleep, one which he dreamed that he was falling through what seemed like space and time itself. In this dream he eventually landed on some sort of solid surface, a black surface that matched the blackness he fell through, the only thing he could see were moving streaks of crimson coming from an unknown horizon and reaching upwards. He felt weak and remained lying on the hard surface and just when he felt that his life was about to slip away, he saw a silhouette of an extremely large person standing over him. He couldn't make out any details, just a black silhouette when it viciously picked him up by the throat, choking him mercilessly. The last bit he remembers of the dream is of this "thing" launching a punch into his chest and at that moment, Shakan awoke in the hospital. He was brought back to life, a defibrillator shock to the heart that woke him from his dream and pulled him from death. He remained in Karakura General Hospital for three days, being under the watchful observation of the Quincy that operated the building. After three days, Shakan was released from their care feeling rested but much weaker than he was before.
Drystan met him outside of the hospital entrance and the two went to the manga shop that Clyde now operated where a meeting of the spiritually aware humans took place. It was explained to all of them the effects of the Reiryoku bomb. Shakan felt frustrated, all of the training he had done, all the work he put into himself and all that growth was taken away from him. It was also here at this meeting that he told the rest of the Vizard disappearance and his inability to find any shred of evidence as to where they had all gone. After the meeting was adjourned, he went back to the club where he made preparations to assume full operation responsibilities and to take up the title of ownership. He thought this would only be temporary at the time. Time would prove this to be incorrect. Spaztic Reality is now fully staffed with spiritually aware humans as well as any vizards that are incognito without Shakan's knowledge, both old employees and new, fully functioning and fully funded.
During the three years after Teisuke's attack, Spaztic Reality's operations ran smoothly and generated enough money to help greatly in the rebuilding of Karakura town. This generated much acclaim for Spaztic Reality, its staff and Shakan himself. Besides running the club, he spends almost every free minute training even harder than before, with much more aggression and ferocity. With him losing one of his crimson crystals during the attack, he had the other crystal surgically grafted to the back of his neck at the base of his skull. Being firmly attached coupled with his healing abilities, it is virtually impossible to remove it from him. This was done to ensure that he would never lose the other crystal.
All of this now leads up to where we are today, on the anniversary of Teisuke's now infamous attack on Karakura Town.

Fullbring
Name: Akaron
Focus: Crimson crystal
Shakan's fullbring focus is now a single ovular crystal that has been surgically grafted to the back of his neck at the base of his skull. Originally the focus was a twin pair of crystals that belonged to his mother, another fullbringer. After receiving them, Shakan had sewn them into a pair of gloves but during Teisuke's attack on Karakura Town, one of the gloves was torn off by a hollow, the glove and it's crystal being found and taken by one of Teisuke's minions back to The Underground where it hasn't been heard of since. The loss of the one crystal hasn't affected Shakan's fullbring power in the slightest.
Description: The now single gem that is Akaron absorbs Shakan's dark reiatsu where it then focuses it and allows him to use it in a number of ways. It also acts as a limiter for Shakan, keeping his power subdued and in check. This is currently unknown to Shakan.
-Complete: When the complete form of Akaron begins focusing Shakan's reiatsu, the crystal begins to glow with a dull crimson light. With this, he can use it to channel this energy in several ways:
Outer projection: If Shakan chooses to focus his reiatsu to the outside of his body, it'll wrap around his arms and form demonic, ethereal looking arms/hands. These new arms have a longer reach and each hand features five vicious claws, one on each finger. Attacks from the ethereal hands are equal in power to Shakan's Reiatsu stat.
This form also gives him +10 to Speed and +15 to Reiatsu.
Inner Rage- Frustration: By channeling the reiatsu into his own body, Shakan can give his physical prowess a boost. This results in his upper body's muscle mass increasing to a noticeable extent. This grants Shakan an additional +10 to Weapon Skill and +15 to Attack.
Mix: He can also choose to split the reiatsu and channel one half of the energy to his right arm and the other half to his left. This boosts his right arm's muscle mass a bit while the left develops an ethereal arm/hand, blending the advantages of both into one. This grants +5 to Attack, Reiatsu and Speed and an additional +10 to Weapon Skill.
(Ethereal Hand)
Black veins also start appearing over Shakan's clothing in random places and are noticeable but not very prominent.
-Final Form:The gathered reitsu from the crystals is infused back into Shakan directly and in a much more concentrated form. This causes Shakan's reitsu to flare uncontrollably, the Crystal on the back of his neck begins to emit an ever brightening crimson glow, When this happens any light in the area begins to grow duller and eventually is blotted out... the only light visible is the crimson energy being emitted from Shakan's crystal as well as his crimson eye, the rest of Shakan blackens out from the light of the crystal so the only things that are visible are the reitsu around him... his blackened silhouette, glowing crystal, and his crimson eye.
At this point, Shakan stretches his arms out to his sides and simply says "Be unleashed." When he says this, another silhouette, that of what looks like black tendrils, begins to sprout from Shakan and wrap around his body and limbs, as if a black creature were taking over his body, transforming him into his "Soul Reaver" form. Once the crimson light subsides, this form is revealed. In this form all of his limbs have become that of what looks like a demonic beast, his hands are those of the ethereal hands. Numerous black veins spread from the limbs and spread all over Shakan's body and clothing, nearly covering him completely and lead up to his red eye, which now burn fiercely with the crimson glow.
From there, some of the black veins further spread upward into his hair, turning a few locks of it jet black. The blue eye portion of Shakan's face remains as is.
(Shakan in mid transformation)
Inner Rage- Anger through loss (Final form/ Apocalypse Drive): When Shakan's anger reaches to a certain amount in intensity, he loses control of his reiatsu and himself. The sheer amount of energy that is generated is too much for Akaron to absorb and process at one time, which effectively overrides shakan's power limiter, essentially turning it off. It is at this moment that his rage takes over, causing a large scale explosion of reiatsu. This process radically increases not only his general size and muscle mass but his height also increases to 7'5". This happens because of Akaron's ability to heal Shakan. As the sudden release of reiatsu from Shakan tears his body, Akaron rapidly heals and rebuilds it to accommodate the sudden rise in power. His hair grows slightly longer but has more spikes that sticks up straighter than before. The pupils and iris' of his eyes are also not visible, the whites of his eyes both burning with a crimson color. Because of the transformation, his shirt, jacket and gloves rip apart at the seams, the remaining rags burning off from the explosion of energy. His pants remain and because they were already baggy to begin with, still has enough room to move freely.
Because Akaron is trying to keep up with this form's sudden and massive power, Shakan cannot maintain his entire ethereal look. At best, he can form both of the ethereal arms.
Abilities:
From complete and up
Hands of the Ethereal Beast: Shakan can form ethereal "demonic" arms from his reiatsu. They form over his physical arms/hands and are used to assault opponents. Each attack is actually 5 slashs, 1 slash for each clawed finger of the hand. Attacks from the ethereal hands are equal in power to Shakan's Reiatsu stat.
Columns of Hell:
Essentially blasts of various sizes and magnitudes of explosive/burn damage. (Note: The following names of the different energy attacks do not need to be called out although they can be. They are there primarily just to label them):
Hell Wave: An arching wave of Shakan's reitsu races at an opponent at a high rate of speed from a sword slash or his hands. A basic but effective and strong attack roughly half the strength of a Hell Blast.
Hell Fang: Similar to an arrancar's bala. Small and very quick bolt of energy shot usually out of Shakan's fingertips. Up to 3 can be shot before needing a recharge.
Hell Blast: A medium sized beam of energy which is fired from one of Shakan's palms and can be moved in mid-attack by Shakan. 1 can be shot before needing a recharge.
Carnage Scissors: Same thing as hell Blast except two blasts are fired, one from each hand. The attack power of each blast is halved but gains the advantage of attacking from two sides at the same time.
Inferno Divider: A very large and continuous blast of energy which is gathered between the palms of Shakan into a ball of swirling crimson energy and fired from both of Shakan's hands. This can be used once and then needs a 2 post recharge before using again.
Ethereal Barrier: Shakan can form a protective barrier of reiatsu by focusing his reishi into his hands, then draws four intersecting lines in the air to form a square in front of him that solidifies with reiatsu while he does this to create a protective barrier. Think of Kido barriers of similar stature for strength and defeating it.
Devil's Grip: When Shakan grabs onto an opponent or an object with his ethereal hands, that opponent or object begins to start taking burn damage to the area being held as well as that body part being bound in the grip of the hand. The longer the grip is held... the more damage and pain the opponent takes/object weakens and if metal... may begin to melt. The burning has no effect on an opponent who has 60 reiatsu higher than Shakan and opponents with 40 points of attack higher than shakan can move the held area of the body with no limitations.
From Final Form
Outreach: In this form, Shakan's transformed arms/hands can stretch out to 20 feet for quick and surprise attacks. He can bend and pose the arm in angles that are unnatural and either retract the arm back or have his body retract up to where his hand is. (Not usable when in Apocalypse Drive form)
Black Onslaught: When activated an attack from Shakan's ethereal hands or sword is actually 5 separate slashes from different angles for any scythe attack for 2 posts. Those with 40 more speed than Shakan AND have moderately strong reiatsu sensing capabilities can detect and may block/evade the slashes. 5 post cool-down with a limit of 3 uses per thread. (Not usable when in Apocalypse Drive form)
Shockwave: A powerful burst of reiatsu that Shakan first charges around him, then propels it at moderately high speed from his body and envelopes a 20 meter radius around where he is. Causes damage similar to a hell's blast attack plus packs a kinetic wallop that pushes those struck by it back beyond the 20 meter range. (Only usable when in Apocalypse Drive form)
Passive Abilities:
Soul Eater: Shakan's key ability. Whenever he strikes an opponent the crystal on the back of his neck that is Akaron absorbs a small portion of the struck opponent's excess reiatsu, said reitsu gets sucked into the crystal where it then gets "processed" into energy that will not harm Shakan... kind of like how snake venom is processed to become anti-venom. Small wounds are regenerated/large wounds are sealed to prevent bleeding. Its true purpose activates if Shakan isn't wounded. If not wounded... Shakan gains a temporary immunity to whatever side affect his opponent's attacks may imbue. Amount of time of this immunity depends on Fullbrings currently used form:
Complete: One successful strike= 2 posts of immunity
Final form: Same as complete when a punch or kick is delivered. This form also has one addition. If Shakan creates an open wound on his opponent then Akaron will continually absorb reitsu from that wound up to a distance of 50 feet for 2 posts. Regeneration from this is continuous however he gains continued immunity from side affects for 4 posts.
This ability stacks to a limit of 4 posts of immunity/wound regeneration at any given time, so unless Shakan is attacked by an ability with a side effect (i.e poison, burning, illusions, dizziness, etc.) the immunity will not be used up. This ability also does not regenerate lost limbs and cannot fully regenerate major/mortal wounds.
Edge of the Inferno: The blade of Shakan's cleaver sword vibrate rapidly and are imbued with enough heat to allow ease of cutting/stabbing as described earlier. +20 points to cutting/stabbing damage vs defense (Example: Hierro normally needs 60 more attack stat points to be cut through. This is reduced to 40 for Shakan in any of his activated Fullbring forms.)

History:
Shakan was born in America with the name Jonathan to two spiritually awakened parents. The father... Carl Reise... is a mechanical engineer with a hobby for making weapons of different sorts with whatever materials he had on hand. He is also a High Spec of moderate strength while his mother... Sabrina... was a housewife as well as a Fullbringer. While they were aware... hollow appearances were far rarer than in Karakura town so neither of them had the opportunity to fully develop or even understand their abilities.

Taking this box downstairs he handed it to John knowing full well what it was and what it had done to his wife and hoped it would do the same to John. He told him it was a memento from his late mother, a gift for her son to remember her by. Later that night while his father was away at a bar John opened the box and took out the two crimson crystals free of the necklace his mother wore.

It wasn't malevolent to him though, it felt completely natural and he now actually felt complete.
This was the moment where he would forever leave behind his spiteful father but not before taking something from him. Placing the crystals into his pocket he went back downstairs and up to where the now finished twin swords lay, the same two he saw 10 years earlier. Taking them off the rack along with the sheaths built for them he made his way back to his father's room and took his stash of money, $1200. Stuffing his newly acquired weaponry as well as some clothes into a duffel bag he left the house only to run into something that struck fear in him, his first encounter with a hollow. It was a tall but very weak one by normal standards however it was still frightening to John.
A sweep from the hollow's large hand sent him into the wall of his house from where he would fall to the ground on his hands and knees along with the crystals that would fall out of his pocket and land in front of him. In a daze he slowly scooped them up in his right hand before the hollow made its move, staring into them as they began to glow a dull crimson Just as the hollow moved in to devour him, John flung his hand up as if to try and defend himself from the creature however the attacked would never come. As his arm was swung up at the hollow a crimson wave of energy arched through it, cutting it to be cut in half and to dissolve into nothing.
He was baffled for a moment but got to his feet quickly and placed the crystals back into his pocket. Picking up his duffel bag he ran off into the night. Using some of the money he had stolen he took a train out of the area and far away from the clutches of his father.
For years he traveled from place to place around the continent, discovering, learning and improving his abilities with his Fullbring but also with his mechanical swords, discovering their abilities and their connection to his fullbring through battles with hollow kind. After 10 years of travel he now comes to Karakura town, his power having evolved by leaps and bounds as well as his knowledge and personality. He now goes by the name Shakan, chosen as a clever and subtle insult to his family name, Shakan meaning "to settle down" in hebrew and Reise in german meaning "travel." His real name had been dead for a long time to him. His Fullbring was sewn into the leather gloves he wears at this point, bringing its power to a town with a history of spiritual upheaval the likes of which he has yet to see.
Five years later, a date with the Vizard Corporation
It had been five long years since Shakan took part in the biggest battle he'd ever seen. He had slain some hollow and defeated an adjucha but more importantly he finally found a source of answers to questions he long asked. He was taken in by the lone Onigami Mijek and the Vizard elder Kuro Akuma where they showed him the truths of the spiritual world. He was taught all of it, the history rich in bloodshed and sacrifice. It was overwhelming at first to Shakan but he eventually came to accept it all as truth. For the first time in his life he now could see the world in its complex full spectrum of color as opposed to just simply being black and white.
Shakan had become a part of Viz. Co. It was here that his training had begun, fully funded by Kuro's corporation and under the watchful eye and tutelage of both him and Mijek, his power grew. Perhaps they saw more potential in him than even he himself knew. He was given a job at Viz Corp as a member of the Spaztic Reality Club's Council as well as his own place to crash in whenever he wasn't training or at the gym. For all of this Shakan felt great appreciation as he felt he was a part of something greater.
Life outside of Viz. Co
During those five years he had made other friends outside of the corporation. He remembered his brief encounter with Drystan and sought him out. This led to the meeting and befriending of Clyde and his group of people he had trained himself, all spiritually aware like Shakan was. Whenever he had the chance outside of work he would stop by the newly reconstructed Manga Shop to train with them. Through this he got to know them all rather well, especially the woman named Miwa. It was a common sight to see the two pulling pranks and practical jokes on each other which usually led to some sort of fight breaking out that led to Shakan getting his ass handed to him in complete humiliation. He enjoyed the company though, he saw each of them as friends and this also drove him to continue training with a ferocious fervor.
Teisuke's assault and the next three years
During Shakan's tenure as a council member, he kept busy running day to day operations of the club and his training. So much so that he actually failed to realize his mentor's disappearance, only realizing it after a few days of failing to contact either Mijek and Kuro. In fact, it seemed that all of the vizards under Viz. Co.'s employ had gone missing, no where to be found. Fearing the worst, Shakan investigated Mijek's office files as well as the main office building of Viz. Co. itself, looking for clues. All he found were the spiritually aware employees working the business, no trace of the vizards could be seen. Before he could inform anyone though, a spiritual being named Teisuke and his army began their assault on Karakura town. Drystan, a spiritually aware human and alchemist, found Shakan in the club and brought him up to speed on what was happening.
Shakan rushed to the scene with Drystan and saw for himself the power of Teisuke. He aided in the evacuation of the town by acting as a barrier between the fleeing civilians and the incoming hollow wherever he could, taking the fight to them head on. His training under Mijek and Kuro had developed Shakan immensely, making him one of the strongest spiritually aware humans in Karakura Town. He needed every ounce of his strength to fend off the starved hollow horde, forming his two original swords into his cleaver sword. He managed to slay a great many hollow, but they just kept coming and they seemed to get more and more desperate. The fighting was intense, so much so that it pushed Shakan's power to the point where it fused the sword, permanently leaving it in it's cleaver form. During the fighting, one hollow managed to rip off one of Shakan's gloves, sending it flying into the stampede of hollow. This didnt affect his fullbring power at all but he lost one of the two crystals sewn to his gloves that made up his fullbring focus. Unbeknownst to Shakan, one of Teisuke's underlings from the Underground would find the glove and the crystal sewn into it. Picking it up, this underling would make his way back to the Underground with it.
Once the evacuation was complete, Shakan retreated back to where Drystan, Clyde and the others were located and could do nothing more than watch the main battle between Teisuke and the Shinigami Captains. It took everything he had to keep his anger in check and not rush to join the captains in the fight, even though he knew he was outclassed. When all seemed hopeless, Nonko arrived and detonated some sort of Reiryoku bomb. While this bomb utterly destroyed Teisuke, it had an immense affect on everyone that was spiritually aware, including Shakan. To him, it felt like his spirit was being ripped away from him, surviving through his strong will alone. He would survive, but he would fall unconscious to the ground. He fell into a deep sleep, one which he dreamed that he was falling through what seemed like space and time itself. In this dream he eventually landed on some sort of solid surface, a black surface that matched the blackness he fell through, the only thing he could see were moving streaks of crimson coming from an unknown horizon and reaching upwards. He felt weak and remained lying on the hard surface and just when he felt that his life was about to slip away, he saw a silhouette of an extremely large person standing over him. He couldn't make out any details, just a black silhouette when it viciously picked him up by the throat, choking him mercilessly. The last bit he remembers of the dream is of this "thing" launching a punch into his chest and at that moment, Shakan awoke in the hospital. He was brought back to life, a defibrillator shock to the heart that woke him from his dream and pulled him from death. He remained in Karakura General Hospital for three days, being under the watchful observation of the Quincy that operated the building. After three days, Shakan was released from their care feeling rested but much weaker than he was before.
Drystan met him outside of the hospital entrance and the two went to the manga shop that Clyde now operated where a meeting of the spiritually aware humans took place. It was explained to all of them the effects of the Reiryoku bomb. Shakan felt frustrated, all of the training he had done, all the work he put into himself and all that growth was taken away from him. It was also here at this meeting that he told the rest of the Vizard disappearance and his inability to find any shred of evidence as to where they had all gone. After the meeting was adjourned, he went back to the club where he made preparations to assume full operation responsibilities and to take up the title of ownership. He thought this would only be temporary at the time. Time would prove this to be incorrect. Spaztic Reality is now fully staffed with spiritually aware humans as well as any vizards that are incognito without Shakan's knowledge, both old employees and new, fully functioning and fully funded.
During the three years after Teisuke's attack, Spaztic Reality's operations ran smoothly and generated enough money to help greatly in the rebuilding of Karakura town. This generated much acclaim for Spaztic Reality, its staff and Shakan himself. Besides running the club, he spends almost every free minute training even harder than before, with much more aggression and ferocity. With him losing one of his crimson crystals during the attack, he had the other crystal surgically grafted to the back of his neck at the base of his skull. Being firmly attached coupled with his healing abilities, it is virtually impossible to remove it from him. This was done to ensure that he would never lose the other crystal.
All of this now leads up to where we are today, on the anniversary of Teisuke's now infamous attack on Karakura Town.

Fullbring
Name: Akaron
Focus: Crimson crystal
Shakan's fullbring focus is now a single ovular crystal that has been surgically grafted to the back of his neck at the base of his skull. Originally the focus was a twin pair of crystals that belonged to his mother, another fullbringer. After receiving them, Shakan had sewn them into a pair of gloves but during Teisuke's attack on Karakura Town, one of the gloves was torn off by a hollow, the glove and it's crystal being found and taken by one of Teisuke's minions back to The Underground where it hasn't been heard of since. The loss of the one crystal hasn't affected Shakan's fullbring power in the slightest.
Description: The now single gem that is Akaron absorbs Shakan's dark reiatsu where it then focuses it and allows him to use it in a number of ways. It also acts as a limiter for Shakan, keeping his power subdued and in check. This is currently unknown to Shakan.
-Complete: When the complete form of Akaron begins focusing Shakan's reiatsu, the crystal begins to glow with a dull crimson light. With this, he can use it to channel this energy in several ways:
Outer projection: If Shakan chooses to focus his reiatsu to the outside of his body, it'll wrap around his arms and form demonic, ethereal looking arms/hands. These new arms have a longer reach and each hand features five vicious claws, one on each finger. Attacks from the ethereal hands are equal in power to Shakan's Reiatsu stat.
This form also gives him +10 to Speed and +15 to Reiatsu.
Inner Rage- Frustration: By channeling the reiatsu into his own body, Shakan can give his physical prowess a boost. This results in his upper body's muscle mass increasing to a noticeable extent. This grants Shakan an additional +10 to Weapon Skill and +15 to Attack.
Mix: He can also choose to split the reiatsu and channel one half of the energy to his right arm and the other half to his left. This boosts his right arm's muscle mass a bit while the left develops an ethereal arm/hand, blending the advantages of both into one. This grants +5 to Attack, Reiatsu and Speed and an additional +10 to Weapon Skill.
(Ethereal Hand)
Black veins also start appearing over Shakan's clothing in random places and are noticeable but not very prominent.
-Final Form:
At this point, Shakan stretches his arms out to his sides and simply says "Be unleashed." When he says this, another silhouette, that of what looks like black tendrils, begins to sprout from Shakan and wrap around his body and limbs, as if a black creature were taking over his body, transforming him into his "Soul Reaver" form. Once the crimson light subsides, this form is revealed. In this form all of his limbs have become that of what looks like a demonic beast, his hands are those of the ethereal hands. Numerous black veins spread from the limbs and spread all over Shakan's body and clothing, nearly covering him completely and lead up to his red eye, which now burn fiercely with the crimson glow.
From there, some of the black veins further spread upward into his hair, turning a few locks of it jet black. The blue eye portion of Shakan's face remains as is.
(Shakan in mid transformation)
Inner Rage- Anger through loss (Final form/ Apocalypse Drive): When Shakan's anger reaches to a certain amount in intensity, he loses control of his reiatsu and himself. The sheer amount of energy that is generated is too much for Akaron to absorb and process at one time, which effectively overrides shakan's power limiter, essentially turning it off. It is at this moment that his rage takes over, causing a large scale explosion of reiatsu. This process radically increases not only his general size and muscle mass but his height also increases to 7'5". This happens because of Akaron's ability to heal Shakan. As the sudden release of reiatsu from Shakan tears his body, Akaron rapidly heals and rebuilds it to accommodate the sudden rise in power. His hair grows slightly longer but has more spikes that sticks up straighter than before. The pupils and iris' of his eyes are also not visible, the whites of his eyes both burning with a crimson color. Because of the transformation, his shirt, jacket and gloves rip apart at the seams, the remaining rags burning off from the explosion of energy. His pants remain and because they were already baggy to begin with, still has enough room to move freely.
Because Akaron is trying to keep up with this form's sudden and massive power, Shakan cannot maintain his entire ethereal look. At best, he can form both of the ethereal arms.
Abilities:
From complete and up
Hands of the Ethereal Beast: Shakan can form ethereal "demonic" arms from his reiatsu. They form over his physical arms/hands and are used to assault opponents. Each attack is actually 5 slashs, 1 slash for each clawed finger of the hand. Attacks from the ethereal hands are equal in power to Shakan's Reiatsu stat.
Columns of Hell:
Essentially blasts of various sizes and magnitudes of explosive/burn damage. (Note: The following names of the different energy attacks do not need to be called out although they can be. They are there primarily just to label them):
Hell Wave: An arching wave of Shakan's reitsu races at an opponent at a high rate of speed from a sword slash or his hands. A basic but effective and strong attack roughly half the strength of a Hell Blast.
Hell Fang: Similar to an arrancar's bala. Small and very quick bolt of energy shot usually out of Shakan's fingertips. Up to 3 can be shot before needing a recharge.
Hell Blast: A medium sized beam of energy which is fired from one of Shakan's palms and can be moved in mid-attack by Shakan. 1 can be shot before needing a recharge.
Carnage Scissors: Same thing as hell Blast except two blasts are fired, one from each hand. The attack power of each blast is halved but gains the advantage of attacking from two sides at the same time.
Inferno Divider: A very large and continuous blast of energy which is gathered between the palms of Shakan into a ball of swirling crimson energy and fired from both of Shakan's hands. This can be used once and then needs a 2 post recharge before using again.
Ethereal Barrier: Shakan can form a protective barrier of reiatsu by focusing his reishi into his hands, then draws four intersecting lines in the air to form a square in front of him that solidifies with reiatsu while he does this to create a protective barrier. Think of Kido barriers of similar stature for strength and defeating it.
Devil's Grip: When Shakan grabs onto an opponent or an object with his ethereal hands, that opponent or object begins to start taking burn damage to the area being held as well as that body part being bound in the grip of the hand. The longer the grip is held... the more damage and pain the opponent takes/object weakens and if metal... may begin to melt. The burning has no effect on an opponent who has 60 reiatsu higher than Shakan and opponents with 40 points of attack higher than shakan can move the held area of the body with no limitations.
From Final Form
Black Onslaught: When activated an attack from Shakan's ethereal hands or sword is actually 5 separate slashes from different angles for any scythe attack for 2 posts. Those with 40 more speed than Shakan AND have moderately strong reiatsu sensing capabilities can detect and may block/evade the slashes. 5 post cool-down with a limit of 3 uses per thread. (Not usable when in Apocalypse Drive form)
Shockwave: A powerful burst of reiatsu that Shakan first charges around him, then propels it at moderately high speed from his body and envelopes a 20 meter radius around where he is. Causes damage similar to a hell's blast attack plus packs a kinetic wallop that pushes those struck by it back beyond the 20 meter range. (Only usable when in Apocalypse Drive form)
Passive Abilities:
Soul Eater: Shakan's key ability. Whenever he strikes an opponent the crystal on the back of his neck that is Akaron absorbs a small portion of the struck opponent's excess reiatsu, said reitsu gets sucked into the crystal where it then gets "processed" into energy that will not harm Shakan... kind of like how snake venom is processed to become anti-venom. Small wounds are regenerated/large wounds are sealed to prevent bleeding. Its true purpose activates if Shakan isn't wounded. If not wounded... Shakan gains a temporary immunity to whatever side affect his opponent's attacks may imbue. Amount of time of this immunity depends on Fullbrings currently used form:
Complete: One successful strike= 2 posts of immunity
Final form: Same as complete when a punch or kick is delivered. This form also has one addition. If Shakan creates an open wound on his opponent then Akaron will continually absorb reitsu from that wound up to a distance of 50 feet for 2 posts. Regeneration from this is continuous however he gains continued immunity from side affects for 4 posts.
This ability stacks to a limit of 4 posts of immunity/wound regeneration at any given time, so unless Shakan is attacked by an ability with a side effect (i.e poison, burning, illusions, dizziness, etc.) the immunity will not be used up. This ability also does not regenerate lost limbs and cannot fully regenerate major/mortal wounds.
Edge of the Inferno: The blade of Shakan's cleaver sword vibrate rapidly and are imbued with enough heat to allow ease of cutting/stabbing as described earlier. +20 points to cutting/stabbing damage vs defense (Example: Hierro normally needs 60 more attack stat points to be cut through. This is reduced to 40 for Shakan in any of his activated Fullbring forms.)
