Yoruichi Shihouin

[Roleplay takes place on Bleach's World.]

Yoruichi's Powers & Abilities: Feline Transformation: Yoruichi possesses the unique ability to shapeshift into a black cat at will. While unknown how she obtained this ability, she has possessed it for well over 100 years. She apparently has no set time limit on the transformation, as she had been in this form for over 100 years. In cat form, Yoruichi can still channel her spiritual energy and move at incredible speeds, though she is physically limited. Her transformation, which releases a thin cloud of mist or steam when reverting to her default form, grants her a complete disguise, as her voice in this form is deep enough to lead most to assume she is a male.

Shunpo Master: Widely regarded as the most proficient master of Hohō in all of Soul Society, Yoruichi holds the title of "Flash Goddess". Her prowess in Shunpo is so formidable that she can appear in several places at once, enough to wipe out an entire squadron of Onmitsukidō members in seconds. She can easily close tremendous gaps of distance in the blink of an eye while remaining undetected, and can surprise Byakuya, who is also one of the most proficient Shunpo masters. She has mastered countless Hohō techniques and even created some of her own. The full extent of her abilities remain unclear but, despite being a century out of practice, she was able to outrun Byakuya while carrying an unconscious Ichigo over her shoulder, performing around 300 steps before feeling tired. Suì-Fēng, another stellar Shunpo master and her former mentee, was able to strike Yoruichi multiple times in their battle, but failed to hit her in the same spot twice with her Zanpakutō for its ability to take effect.

Utsusemi: Created by Yoruichi herself, it allows for movement of such sudden and great speed, leaving at least one tangible after-image behind. Byakuya Kuchiki states Yoruichi taught it to him.

Hakuda Master: As former Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukidō, Yoruichi is one of the most—if not the most—skilled Hakuda masters in Soul Society. Her mastery of the art is such that she could be described as a Hakuda specialist, forgoing her Zanpakutō altogether. Despite having been out of action for a hundred years, she was able to take down nearly 50 Onmitsukidō members with ease, kept pace with and ultimately defeated a fellow Hakuda master in Suì-Fēng, Captain of Second Division. She is able to effortlessly take on Espada-level Arrancar, as demonstrated when she brutally defeated Yammy, and was deemed by the 4th Espada Ulquiorra Cifer to be highly dangerous.

Taketonbo: A Hakuda technique which involves a simple, yet effective, throw which suddenly and violently flips an opponent upside down.

Raiōken: A Hakuda technique involving a series of ultra-high-speed punches delivered using both arms. When performing this technique while wearing Anti-Hierro Armor, Yoruichi severely cracked Aizen's first form, destroying the surrounding portion of Karakura Town in the process.

Shunkō (Lightning): An advanced technique which combines Hakuda with Kidō. This technique surrounds her back and arms with pressurized Kidō based on the element of lightning. The keisen uniform has no back or sleeves because they will rip apart when it is activated. Apart from enhancing her arms and legs for combat, the technique allows her to instantly neutralize an opponent's movement. The Kidō itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from her body, which creates massive explosions. Yoruichi's version of the technique was developed and studied by her a century ago; therefore, the technique is complete and the compressed Kidō is visible. While using this technique, her Reiatsu takes the form of white lightning. Her skill and control in its usage has progressed to the point of activation taking the form of a pair of lightning wings generated from her back.

Shunkō: The lightning emitted from Yoruichi's back creates a circle of electrical energy in the shape of Raijin's drums behind her as Yoruichi unleashes a giant column of concentrated electrical energy to engulf her opponent.

Shunkō: Raijū Senkei: Shunryū Kokubyō Senki While Shunkō: Raijin Senkei is already activated, Yoruichi can transform her mind and body even further. Upon release a huge column of electrical energy is released. When the energy disappears Yoruichi has taken on the form of a hybrid of Shunkō and her feline form. Her feet become clawed cat paws, this form clads her arms and legs in electricity covering her forearms past the elbow and her legs up to her thighs, each ending with claws made of electrical energy. The energy forms her hair into the form of cat ears and she grows a tail. This form sheaths her in an aura of electrical energy. This form gives her the mentality of a cat and allows the cat nature of "fickleness" to manifest in her Reiatsu. While Yoruichi is naturally moody, she is even more so in this form; her Reiatsu is directly responsive to her changes in mood, and therefore becomes reliably unstable by changing 48 times per second. Kisuke Urahara is the only one who can control her in this form.

Kidō Master: Yoruichi is well-versed and highly skilled in Kidō. Though she commonly employs Shunpo and Hakuda in battle. She often uses Kidō to further her capacity in combat, often mixing it with other fighting techniques. She has used mid to high-level binding and destruction spells with no incantation with expert skill.

Hanki: This technique is used by Yoruichi during Shunkō. It nullifies an opponent's Kidō by hitting it with a Kidō of perfectly opposite speed and energy. The technique can neutralize an opponent's movements.

Master Assassin: As the former Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukidō, Yoruichi is one of the foremost masters of the art of assassination. She has repeatedly shown impressive skill in staying hidden and unseen. When necessary, she can effectively exploit having an advantage against an opponent or hiding her presence. Even Aizen was taken completely by surprise, and just as easily subdued.

Master Strategist & Tactician: As the former head of her clan and ex-commander of the Onmitsukidō, Yoruichi is an excellent leader. She has repeatedly proven to be insightful and crafty, capable of quickly understanding any situation that presents itself and adjusting to it effectively. Upon learning Ichigo would go to save Rukia no matter what, Yoruichi began making preparations of her own by training Orihime and Chad.

Immense Spiritual Power: As former captain of the 2nd Division and Commander-in-Chief of the Onmitsukidō, as well as a former head of one of the four Noble Houses, Yoruichi possesses immense amounts of spiritual power. During Ichigo's Bankai Training, she kept the Tenshintai active for an extended period of time with her Reiryoku. The reputation of her power is enough to make 4th Espada Ulquiorra Cifer wary to engage in combat with her, even with the help of 0 Espada Yammy Llargo. Her spiritual energy and control of it is great enough to act as a shield from fairly powerful attacks, as seen from blocking Jin Kariya's lightning blast with a single hand. While using Shunkō, her concentrated spiritual power becomes far greater than normal. Her Reiatsu is red.

Enhanced Strength: Despite her slender appearance, Yoruichi has incredible physical strength in her Shinigami form. She could still easily use Shunpo while carrying around an unconscious Ichigo to outrun a fellow Shunpo Master. She easily caught a direct punch from Yammy Llargo, and simultaneously threw him several feet away. She easily injured him, despite his thick Hierro, with various unarmed moves, but is injured by his Hierro. Though she admits she wasn't expecting his skin to be that hard, she states she could have avoided taking any damage if she had Shunkō activated. A concentrated blow from Yoruichi can destroy an entire city block.

Enhanced Endurance: Despite her own admission of being out of shape, Yoruichi is an incredibly resilient warrior. Both when out of breath from prolonged running against Byakuya and sustaining fractures from Yammy's Hierro, Yoruichi was still able to fight effectively while showing no signs of weakening. Even when her arm started to twist rapidly due to Pernida Parnkgjas's The Compulsory, Yoruichi didn't show any signs of being in pain and was more wondering the nature of the power.

Zanpakutō: As a former captain of the Gotei 13, it is known that Yoruichi possesses a Zanpakutō and has achieved Bankai, but she relies nearly exclusively on Hohō and Hakuda. Although she doesn't carry it at all in the current time, she wore it in the past. It resembles a kodachi or wakizashi which she kept sheathed horizontally behind her on her lower back, similar to how Suì-Fēng carries hers in the present day.
