Entrance

Ishihara had stepped onto the stone arena floor, tapping his foot three times before remaining stagnant. His glare was fixated ahead as he awaited his opponent’s arrival, making his necessary preparations before he was not allowed to do so. Silence echoed through the area, the sound of his arm moving being the only thing to cut through such a hypnotizing absence. He was a slightly above average sized humanoid figure, standing at 190.50cm and 95kg. His mental capacity was exceptional, allowing him to process at a speed 500% faster than a normal martial artist. His unenhanced speed was docked at 68mph, while his punches and kicks were each recorded at 8000psi. His perception and reaction time were remarkable, being able to slice a 9mm bullet fired thirty feet away from him in half. Able to physically see 70 meters out with near perfect detail. His ability to control and feed off of aura allows him to create outlines of objects from further distances (up to 150 feet) with less detail, but enough to know something is there. His hearing, matching that of a vampire bat, could be shut off at will, along with his sight if it was needed. Ishihara wore nothing to cover his torso, with black baggy pants and shoes that boots that were securely fastened on. His silky black hair with white highlights were tied into a ponytail, a straw hat on top of his head with crimson paper tags that would cover his nose and eyes. His body could take as much force as he could give, hits rivaling a strike from a gorilla doing as much damage as an average fist fight. His physical strength capabilities could amplify another 50 percent due to his ability of aura manipulation. Though he preferred using his blades in combat, Ishihara is able to manifest and control his aura and that of wildlife within a two meter radius of himself, using it to amplify strikes or create objects that could grow to half of Ishihara’s own size.  He reached around his back and pressed his thumb into an indentation in the handle to Highborne; the katana blade strapped to his back. This action caused the blade to disappear, taking its place being a larger sheath with five rows, four slots filled with blades in each row. Each row of four had their own different abilities, Ishihara giving them the names Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. Their naming giving the sheath the title of The Five Stages of Death. The four blades on the top layer of Ishihara's sheath are known as the denial layer. Made up of tungsten and diamond dust, these are the blades that Ishihara uses when toying with an opponent or when he is facing someone of human descent. These blade possess no special ability or prowess. Anger is the second layer of the sheath, representing the anger that most individuals present when denying that they were just being toyed with from the Denial stage.. The blades themselves are a pitch black color, looking as if they have a silk-like texture on them. Anger katana's have a different set of unique set of abilities, one of such being the Umbrakinetic slash, and the second being gravity bomb generation. The Umbrakinetic slash in it's raw description is the ability to combine sharpness and shadow attacks to bladed weapons. One of the ways Ishihara uses this technique would be for enhancement for his short range slashes. The second would make him be able to send a black energy slashes that vary in size towards his opponent, said slashes being able to be airborne for a length of thirty five meters before exploding with a variable force between a blast that would equal a hand held grenade and a stack of TNT used for building destruction depending on the time between the initiation of the attack and the release of the slash from the blade. Ishihara has a second ability that the Anger blades give him, and that is the gravity bomb generation. When one of his Anger katanas are destroyed, gravity is concentrated in a small black core, acting like a black hole that sucks in every last loose article around it instantly. The gravitational force increases gradually for the length of forty seconds, its current limit being 20x the normal gravity of whatever planet he is on. [[Gravity bombs can have their gravitational pull multiplied by adding two bombs together, adding x2 the limit for every bomb that is added.]] ((After the Gravitational bomb has worn out, the Anger Blade remain destroyed for a period of three posts before re manifesting back in his sheath)) {{The strength of the bomb increases at a rate of 4x for each post that the gravity bomb is ignored}}. The gravity bomb can diminish itself at Ishihara’s will, or by an opponent by simply exerting an equal amount of force directly into the core. Through his extended use of the blade, Ishihara’s body has naturally developed resistance to the amplifies gravity, his bones strengthening with help of his aura manipulation and his blood pressure increasing to compensate for the force. Bargaining is a more
psychological level of the sheath, dealing with the Swadhisthana aura of emotion. These blades are reversed in structure, the dull side of the blade becoming the sharper end and vice versa. This slight modification causes Ishihara to use a different fighting style, one that involves him holding the blades in other areas, such as in between his fingers or clamped in the bend of his arms and legs, using attacks that generally involve a faster than normal pace of a swordsman. | Each successful strike of the blade to the opponent alters their aura and mental state, inevitably persuading them to give into their opponent and beg for their mercy, thus Bargaining for their life. Which each connection, the effect of the bargaining stage gets stronger, being able to go passed insanity. Depression is the fourth layer of blades that resemble the shadows that one is brought into when they realize the futility of bargaining. Like bargaining, Depression blades are a psychological attack, but do no physical damage to the opponent. This however, makes their mental effect far greater than that of the Bargaining blades. | The depression blade's contain a specific characteristic that the other sets do not share; Only those a part of Ishihara's bloodline can actually see them. To the rest of the world, It appears as if Ishihara is holding air [ The blade has a silky black look for Ishihara, representing darkness] . These blades however, are the same size as every blade in the levels before this, making this not a game changing problem for those who have a good intuition. Though everyone who hasn’t been exposed to the blade and/or has not trained their mind into  entering a slightly schizophrenic state. The opponents start to hear the voices of love ones or kin, primarily those who have been cursed with complications or deceased. When a successful connection happens between Depression blades and their targets, one of the opponents most motivational or inspirational memories are twisted into tragedies, often resulting in the deaths or torture of whoever is involved in the memory. The opponent witnesses it all happen, repeatedly, often being left in a broken state while trapped In his mind. Acceptance is the final and most powerful layer in Ishihara's sheath. The acceptance Katana's have a white handle, and are a full manifestation of Ishihara's aura. These blades have the power/cutting efficiency to cut through a pure diamond block of 6ft height, 1.5ft width and 1.5ft length with little to no resistance, as if it were a sheet of paper. Since these katanas are a manifestation of Ishihara's aura, he has the ability to add aura onto the blade and resize it to whichever size fits the situation he is in (Larger size, bigger opponent. Smaller size, precise strikes.) Like that of the Umbrakinetic slash, Ishihara can use his aura in a long range attack that involves it taking the form of an energy slash towards his opponent. The capabilities of this attack are doubled that of the Umbrakinetic abilities. In the case that his opponent would be powerful enough to surpass the power of the five stages, Ishihara had a trump card that was ready for play. A transformation that activated with excessive use of the Acceptance layer, one that Ishiahara calls True Resonance. True resonance level is one of perfection for Ishihara, having a greater impact on himself then his opponent. Use of the acceptance blades establishes a complete connection with the Aura in the sheath and that in his body, allowing him to use it at its complete potential. Grey lines begin to run up his body, giving a sort of tribal look as his pupils and iris’ disappear. The most significant change in his appearance is that his aura takes the form of wings on his back, resembling a swallowtail butterfly. This transformation increases his overall speed and power, allowing him to move at a speed of 470mph and quadruple his force per hit . When in true resonance form, Ishihara typically combines hand to hand combat with his mastery of Kenjutsu, the speed allowing for him to switch efficiently between blade and hand to hand. A sigh had escaped his mouth as he reached up and removed the hat on his head, placing it onto the ground to the right of him before stuffing his hands into his pockets. He would stand perfectly still in the middle of the arena, staring blankly ahead of while waiting for anything to cross his path.-
