Ritsueto

Ritsueto Remina, the Abyss-chained Omen of Chaos, is the regal prince of the Abyssal Empire and the anti-villainous deuteragonist of the BioMassCore’s storyline, serving as the rival to Elpis. He is known infamously by his Homunculi title as the 0th Obyrith, Haos Powehi and has had a reputation for a destructive incident in his ritualistic birth. He was formerly a part of a special ghostly clan unit of Black Obyrith used in the Lux Order of Providence, whom secretly used them for research and saw them as outdated compared to their other unit that overthrown them when the Lux Order betrayed the Abyssal Empire after numerous records of conflict between the two factions. In his wander across history, Ritsueto wishes to find purpose in life within his kingdom’s expansion and cure impure existence.

– History – Past –

– Personality –

Ritsueto carries a ferocious, smooth and collected but passive-aggressive attitude within him characterized by his wild Homunculi instincts that are “converted” into a form of charisma. Helping him be a great figure to command people and drive them with motivation. He somewhat also puts this charisma into his false humanoid form, giving it a snarky look with closed eyes and a constant smile that is never wiped off his face. This false humanoid form he uses to sometimes speak in an antiquated way to blend in and often sneak onto his prey. Similarly to Elpis, he has a soft side for those he cares for, largely based on his empathy. He’s deeply intuitive to others’ thoughts, granting a decent insight on how a person act. Yet he doesn’t see the Metagallions of Armigers as people, instead seeing them as tools and byproduct.

He values stability through collective strength, viewing that people are purposed to find links amongst themselves to reinforce their social orders in enforcement against threats of their mother land. Which causes him to commonly remind others of the standard to hold up stability within society, making him somewhat perfectionistic. As he vocally despises those he considers whiny or childish thus sees them as disruptive to common collection making him often avoid encounters with children if he feels it dishonors him. This also plays into how he sees Armigers as mere tools for stability thus doesn’t have much value for Metagallions, as he believes the ones that are too weak to keep stability or honor do not deserve genetic purity. Due to his design was intended and how he was shapened to eventually take the role of Abyssal Emperor in his father’s absence, Ritsueto is fearless and kills without second thought preferring enforcement instead of persuasion. In opposition of Elpis, Ritsueto embraces his heritage in feelings of excitement thus makes him compulsive enough to rush into danger unlike Elpis’ cautious tentativeness. Despite his compulsion, he maintains a personal set of honoring morals and disciplines, such as how he hates using firearms or fighting dirty. In adaptation in the environment put around him by Aheri, Ritsueto has come to enjoy marine biology and water-related environments in general as it makes him feel closer to his home land, specifically during stormy times at aquatic areas.

He has a distain for the color of his eyes due to it restraining from seeing the envisioned reality he wants to see whole. Feeling that the clear eyes represent him being stuck within a dream that he wishes to make true. In fights he is merely motivated by the intent of surviving in defense as opposed to Elpis being motivated to win thus pushes harder to achieve his ends to his means. Ritsueto thrives on assimilation, drawing different traits from every opponent he faces in parallel to how Elpis adapts. As a result of how he prefers to pays attention to his surroundings and learns how to work with them. When confronted with new challenges, Ritsueto doesn’t falter; instead, he embraces them as opportunities to learn and grow. However, he only chooses to fight those who accept his challenge, wanting to earn strength rather than steal it individually from someone.

– Relationships –

• Equinox: Equinox often claims he has Ritsueto’s best interests at heart, steering him into his way so that his individuality doesn’t go loose with his instincts as he feels Ritsueto is the most perfect of his Obyrith and doesn’t want that to be tainted. But Ritsueto feels distant from Equinox in a sense of confusion with their general bond. Something that Equinox constantly attempts to re-assure him with before Aheri’s death, which had caused Ritsueto to make his attachment focused on Equinox. Ritsueto doesn’t want the image that made him to be lost like the woman that brought him his emotions. Equinox however refuses to accept Ritsueto sobbing for him, and never wants to see him saddened when his existence eventually must fade. Ritsueto generally attempts to keep himself tame in fear of shaming his lineage and keeping Equinox impressed. He fears that if he were to shame Equinox that his potential lineage would be tainted with the simplest mistake, thus not even by command but by instinct he’d slit his arms with his own fingers if he felt he has done something his father didn’t appreciate. This is part of his general honorful code in religion.

• Aheri: Ritsueto believed Aheri was someone of free mind and pure individuality. He had found things to care about before and after her death. Aheri was essentially the one that indirectly gave him his own sense of sentience by teaching him the meanings behind emotions that he didn’t understand well. As part of a sign of appreciation, Ritsueto feels attached to her in a way that he wanted to impress her to feel like he’s ascending to different signs of emotions with his free will. Ritsueto keeps his amulet as part of remembering Aheri.

• Isobel: Ritsueto often feels that he needs to “slap up” Isobel into his way of thinking for her to be next to him in his eventual place of being an Abyssal Emperor. He feels she’s very caterpillar-like in her eventual growth. However he feels a deep insecurity if she’s ever in public due to her society’s general consensus about thinking Isobel “killed” Aheri in birth. Thus somewhat his attitude of babying Isobel comes from his deep fear of her being executed by his fellow Obyrith kind out of misjudgment or being hunted by Astrables to extract the asterisps melded in her body. As Ritsueto sees Isobel like the last half of Aheri left in his life. He ensures to never break a promise with her in order to prevent any bad omens in their family.

• Nahid: Due to Ritsueto being assigned by Menzel to stick with Nahid after World War X, it would be no surprise the two grew to have some close bond. Despite Ritsueto wanting to hide his emotions due to Aheri, Nahid was the one that made him want to express his emotions more like how he had shown hers as part of her nature. Ritsueto initially felt pity on her as if there was a blight on her that would eventually wash off. But Nahid’s innocence caused him to want to find out what is it that he wanted to strive for in his life and what he was going to fight to the end for. Nahid often treated Ritsueto as her friend on the playground due to the isolation she was often surrounded with in her life, wanting to stay with him forever which made the two grow to have a deep love for each other due to how they feel they are in resonating feelings with their predicaments. In spite of Ritsueto dreading his birth, he often makes sure Nahid feel that her life is worth living through despite the illness she’s living with. As he believes even if she can’t overcome it, the real purification will be the memories they’d share together.

• Cygnus and Kriegressor: Ritsueto sees the duo in orange as two up-nosed but has come to appreciate their heavy dedication in serving him as hard-workers of the Spiral Lords and their corresponding Blackhole Candidates. He respects Cygnus’ heavy perseverance and determination in tasks while Krieg serves in a shaman-like role. They are the ones Ritsueto thinks of when the word “energetic” is brought into question and will await the day if the two ever happen to fail in their tasks or fall in a greater mean. Ritsueto is able to communicate to them well by their general royal demeanors but will not share the same enthusiasm as Cygnus or Krieg (In Krieg’s case, prophetically enthusiastic) As for Cygnus, he sees Ritsueto as a “crow that is unsure of how to grow when it’s flock are gone” causing him to bring care to him as the bigger individual while Krieg prophesizes that the crow will outgrow into something dangerous to lead his new generation of life.

• Norma and Mosaic: Ritsueto values the critical honesty of Norma but doesn’t want to get much into her analytic sessions due to feeling how it is often boring for him if she were ever to not get to the point with Mosaic. Ritsueto will step in to judge Norma himself if she feels she has gone too far or has judged poorly, giving her the same harsh criticality she would. For the latter’s perspective, Norma often kneels to Ritsueto on-instinct and treating him as someone higher. Thus she’d often feel guilt if something she does is not up to what he expects or something that he’s angered from. Norma would also attempt to stop Ritsueto from being overly harsh on himself if he were to accidentally shame his lineage by trying to convince him that it’s not his fault he was born this way. However Ritsueto rejects it and wants as equal of a judgement Norma gives to others but for himself.

• Orion and Artemis: In Ritsueto’s eyes, Orion is simply a middle-ground. He cannot see any issues besides how much he tolerates Artemis’ wild attitude but cannot come to a conclusion of seeing Orion as some type of great accomplice due to his very neutral stance in judgement. Orion’s way of attempting to be fair in judging makes Ritsueto think his bond with Artemis had to be forced in a way with their contrasting polarities with Artemis being way more show-offing than Orion. Artemis is what Ritsueto sees as the perfect huntress but very opportunistic compared to Orion. Artemis capitalizes off of opportunities which makes Ritsueto see it as stubborn of her interests she attempts to push onto herself. Artemis has been the only Blackhole Candidate willing to attempt to spar on Ritsueto once with her arrows and has been proven inferior by him, which has made her see him as another huntsman of high respect.

• Spur + Akultion and Blizker: Similarly for Norma, Ritsueto heavily doesn’t show interest in any of Spur’s elaborate analyzations. However, Ritsueto often looks into Spur’s casual insights into nostalgia as part of her being the second youngest of the Spiral Lords. Nostalgia is a concept Ritsueto would often come to her for rather than any of her collected information, and see how she judges past memories as just or unjust. From this, Ritsueto had been influenced to find a purpose of growth from his Vestiges for him to discuss how he feels about it with Spur. As for Akultion and Blizker, Ritsueto sees the two Blackhole Candidates as Spur’s comedic source of enlightenment when they’re off-duty. But they’re the second Blackhole Candidates Ritsueto treats with little respect as they focus more on intelligence rather than attempting to meld intelligence and strength together. Ritsueto has not been afraid to break Blizker’s confidence when it exceeds in his self-victories.

• Sagittarius and Jack the Joker: The pair of purple are two of which Ritsueto and Equinox both declare as their jesters. But more respect goes to the former as part of a house-keeping safety measure after he had to retire from the Zodiacs. Less respect goes to Jack from his overall personality being disturbing to them with added context of his past. He generally doesn’t trust Jack due to how mysterious he acts and hihs dynamism in his actions that depend on his general interests swinging like that of a pendulum as opposed to Sagittarius whom he thinks is more sensual and uplifting. These two are the ones Ritsueto often expects to be clumsy but happens to be the opposite as they are the most trickiest and unpredictable. This has made him believe that they’re trying to impress him, but the latter two openly deny this and simply see it as a sign that Ritsueto accepts them for what they are in their personalities.

• Carina and Regenazion: Ritsueto feels similarity between his parents and the red duo. But he feels a glaring difference between his father and Regenazion in a sense of eerie aura. Carina’s passionate behaviors are something Ritsueto feels commonly around women he tries to expand a lineage with but comes to a point where Ritsueto can easily feel disturbed with Carina’s parasitic-like loving behavior. The two generally feel too romantic to him that it sometimes disgusts him and averts them despite feeling they are very attention-grabbing with how they act very differently compared to the others. He’s very alert when going near Regenazion due to feeling he could be aggressive based on impulsive appearance alone, which generally confuses or bewilders Regenazion whom attempts to approach Ritsueto simply as a cheeky surgical implanter. Regenazion’s cheekiness and Carina’s passion feel stimulating to Ritsueto in a way that he questions if he was similar to them in his status as Haos. Carina would often want Ritsueto to be as Haos due to seeing Homunculi like him as part of a “kin” group she wants to unite with Regenazion due to her generally adoring fetal children after a previous miscarriage she had. Norma sees Carina as disrespectful with the way she approaches Ritsueto but the latter refuses to speak up on it much due to feeling suspicious of how Carina would react even with her taller height alone.

• Scutum-Crux/Centaurus and Chiron: Scutum and Chiron are Ritsueto’s least to encounter due to how they very much contrast in behavior with him seeing Scutum as the naive child and seeing Centaurus/Chiron as the uptight and wise calculator. They are the two that don’t often think Ritsueto’s right and would disagree with him if the time came, looking at the others that always agree him as too blind. Which has made them conflicted against Rin and Sagittarius causing Ritsueto to keep them strayed from each other during in-person encounters. He avoids looking at Scutum due to feeling she’s overly bright like the mother she divided from, Aeloriva (And Scutum feels Ritsueto is too pessimistic like Spur when she finds something unjust) while he avoids simply talking too much with Centaurus. With Centaurus he’s more lenient due to him being more approachable while Scutum to him feels like she’s too in-touch with caring for the spirits of children thus seeing her as more “cloud-headed”

• Perseus: TBA

• Elpis: Ritsueto is baffled by how Elpis defies the norms of the world. Due to his belief that everyone’s norms are defined through their genetical history and that they are meant to improve upon it. As a result of this, he chooses to not to believe in freedom due to how it makes someone distracted from their true purpose in life. Having a huge disdain for any usage of hybridization of Ex Arm that doesn’t blend well with the anatomy or genetical structure of something. Even refusing to receive any help otherwise it would shame his heritage. He even considers Elpis a hypocrite with how he resents Ultfinites yet works with them. Thinking that this type of double standard could crush Elpis if he cannot truly choose what he stands for. Ritsueto is always ahead of Elpis, signifying the advantages of his better choices in his leadership. Considering that the latter’s denying his potential, Ritsueto attempts to make sure that Elpis or any of his allies cannot catch up to him in order to not interfere with his goals. Yet the honorable aspects in Ritsueto makes him refuse to get all of the Spiral Lords involved against his enemy at once. Being a part of how he believes that he’s the only one capable of making the righteous choice for the sake of stabilizing life with the base matter. His resolve is unyielding, and he tempts Elpis, to match his intensity. For Ritsueto, worthy opponents are the forge where his skills are honed, and every battle fuels his evolution.

– Abilities –

Ritsueto carries advanced abilities of a Black Obyrith, controlling bio-mechanical abyssal protoplasms of his flesh. His protoplasms flow like water pressurized by lightning, this lightning being dark energy which can vary depending on his distortional mass. This dark energy grows through forcefully absorbing light or atoms from organisms into Ritsueto to feed him via focusing into vital nodes that send or receive energy, decaying the sources that it comes from as a result. By unleashing waves of surged protoplasms, Ritsueto breaks down matter into its most basic form, causing irreversible damage and disintegration at a molecular level. Triggering uncontrollable reactions, unpredictable transformations, spontaneous disintegration, fission, etc by disrupting atomic and biological structures thus causing structural weaknesses. He can nullify any attempts at manipulation, reformation, or restructuring of matter. It is the antithesis of dynamic change and evolution, enforcing a state of perpetual solidity and rigidity. His eyes grant him kinetic vision into reality, having extraordinary perception and is able to sense the flow of energy. Granting him precise control over how his symbiotic protoplasms work and how he uses his weapons through gathering energy of those around him for absorption, causing the gathered energy to pass through his protoplasms in a rippling motion. By telekinetically bending and guiding the subatomic flow of energy within these vectors toward converging points, Ritsueto can transform them into projectiles that serve various purposes, attacking, deflecting, altering, overwhelming, or even manipulating matter in complex vector patterns. With this, Ritsueto could tweak the trajectory of objects in motion, redirecting projectiles to hit specific targets or even altering the path of natural phenomena like hurricanes or lightning strikes.

Ritsueto’s vectors affects the direction and speed of his gravital traversal whether on sky or air, changing direction rapidly to dart swiftly, creating powerful currents to propel himself, allowing for swift maneuvers and aerial acrobatics. He’s able to alter his speed, magnitude force, velocity, and trajectory on himself and others to outmaneuver opponents, changing his direction and launching things with enhanced velocity in motion. Creating complex movements to enhance his reflexes and fluidity with curves or non-linear paths in waves, generating powerful energy blasts. Through using his protoplasms’ energy, Ritsueto alters the properties of vectors wih physical attributes, converting them into energized forms of decaying warps. On the defense, he’s able to deflect or redirect attacks or sources and create whirlpool gusts. Sometimes extending to bending reality to his will through distorting vectors to temporarily warp space for a tactical advantage such as generating enery fields, teleporting, altering gravity, negating elemenets or affecting quantum strings through distorting life and the environment. With the symbiotic Heliusseura inside Ritsueto’s rune, he is able to perform many things primarily with his Metagallion, Drazenith Zetsubou. Such as creating matter out of nothing through treating his protoplasms like quantum foam which affects the tangible and intangible with phases of expansion, often recycling the matter from the dead and absorbing their aelophis as distortional mass through a gravitational field. Allowing his body to expand more as he influences the cyclical processes of energy and matter. shifting the magnitude in his attacks through charging himself with a pressurized warp that shifts the power and size of his output. It can also influence his body in centrifugal and centripetal motion through creating sharp extensions of finned wings for angular movements.

The more energy added to Ritsueto internally, he becomes like a burst of energy with the output of his attacks being through pressurized mass of his protoplasms in parallel to the stored chemical energy of Ultfinite’s organic material. Whenever Ritsueto warps, the air is briefly twisted through the pressure he puts onto gravity. but only if an equal volume of protoplasms is allowed to go up against the force of gravity. performing unconventional maneuvers, such as making sharp turns without losing momentum, creating whirlpools of energy, or defying gravity to a certain extent. Ritsueto’s trails leave behind glowing energy ripples, shimmering distortions in the air or water. He adapts to different terrains seamlessly, allowing to transition between any environment. By reversing the direction of his movement vectors, he quickly warps back to a previous position. He can form distortional fields that shift the weight of objects with inertia and magnitude, entangles them through particles or reshapes them. If he wishes to make objects as light as a feather, he decreases their inertia. This also applies to himself, making him move quicker through acrobatics unless recovering from a charged attack. To keep his body in synchronization during interdimensional travel, Ritsueto uses phantasmic bolts to bind to keep himself and utilizes quick dashes through self-propulsion. Through manipulating the inertia of himself when properly stanced, Ritsueto’s Drazenith forms an accretion disk shield when parrying attacks or deflecting projectiles.

– Gameplay and Moveset Plan –

• Ritsueto is a straight-forward character who relies on exploiting weaknesses through adapting with two styles that are similar to Elpis’ Ciphers, Horizonboros and Phantom for supplementary attacks, defensive counterattacks and acrobatics. Which utilizes kanji arts and a spinning gear function within Drazenith linked to Ritsueto’s gear to perform warps for unique mobility that dominates mid-air and other environments. Utilizing heavy-hitting attacks, disjointed multi-hits and easily accessible combos involving controlled aggression and resource management. Making Ritsueto have unparalleled dexterity, fluid attacks and elusiveness through the saber and polearm prowess of Drazenith, to easily close in for the kill by making openings. Each weapon acts a sub-style to it rather than acting as a completely different style of combat, alternating Ritsueto’s stance. Horizonboros requires Ritsueto to have control over enemies to draw them into him for more energy due to how his gauge is more demanding to fill, as Ritsueto initially is on low energy thus gains it from fissioning enemies by killing them with executions as his powerful attacks to increase it, varying with the enemy’s position. When Ritsueto gets attacked, his damage increases due to his great durability. He has shorter range on his attacks than Elpis but can reach further enemies when charging and does well against bigger enemies, crowd-controlling them more due to how his attacks are heavier than Elpis and can debuff enemies. He struggles against enemies that are restrictive on him thus utilizes positioning to get control over an area.
• Phantom can employ passive spell cards named Vestiges that are colored kanji-styled globes of energy released on the death of enemies absorbed into Ritsueto when in-proximity to heal, restore energy, mark enemies with curses or increase Copi cash but drawing in essences can be used in-combat to hold and unleash powerful attacks of techniques to damage enemies without Ritsueto taking any damage, making him immune during it as indicates by a purple swirling aura on Ritsueto. It enhances aerial dashes for swift dives and mid-air combos through enchanting attacks with Vestiges to cause critical damage and swiftly finish off enemies that are on low health. Having attacks that disrupt enemies with stun to cancel spell cards into other ones, while Ritsueto has charged dashes to evade or catch enemies as sudden bursts thus helps during tight spots. With this style, Ritsueto gains a small boost after falling from high places.
• Ritsueto and Brown are able to cancel the startup of their attacks through their movement options, boosting the movement caused by the attack drifting from ground to air, extending mid-air duration or getting from air to ground easily to control positioning. Ritsueto causes an afterimage slash on his cancels, imbuing his attacks with charged effects.
• Ritsueto’s attack spell cards utilizes a spinning gear function to draw out kanji via a combination of moves. Enacting out attacks that depict Ritsueto in an Ukiyo-e style.
• Ritsueto doesn’t do well with range, always having to go near an enemy. Has less options in the air.
• Has a high double jump with higher speed for more hovers Wall-jumping has him walking up walls and alternating alternate between two walls as opposed to climbing up a singular wall like Elpis. Has temporary wall-runs before he slides off. He can aim his phantasmic bolts to dash anywhere and can be charged in his dashes and dodges for damage whether on ground or air.
• Treats water like normal ground, but is sensitive to elements that burn or blow.
• Performs executions on weakened enemies at the end of a stunning combo with charged button combinations aiming at one of their bodyparts to give Ritsueto an energy buff similar to nexeratics.

Drazenith Zetsubou: A double-sided combination of an odachi and a jagged zanbato that causes decay with it’s attacks due to how it has a saber-like frequency across it’s chains, destroying the bonds between atoms and molecules due to how it negates aelophis. Ritsueto is a disruptive force that flexes his blade in elegance and connective nature with how he uses his flurrying attacks, extended techniques, outward curves, executional strikes, vertical chops, wave cuts, multi-directional bends and fluid rushes. Performing great feats such as larger blade transformation, molecular binding, mind splintering, matter distortion-melding (Phasing his blade through a melding distortion), spatial fabric-cutting, etc. Ritsueto can sheathe his binding distortion within his blade’s magazine-like sheathe to draw in gravity for a triggered Iaido slash emitting the sword’s winding stream-pressure as a blasting ripple wave to counter any mutant potentially. Overdriving by disrupting the electric signal in their lifestream and can use his arm to crush someone with gravital pressure to forcefully transfigure and decay via a detonation, reversing any fusions. His electric signal disruptions come from his development to be the ultimate cure, projected into his body’s stream of energy as some type of anti-electromagnetic sap.

• Ritsueto’s gills require constant aspiration through his Vaesir Drive to breathe and perceive properly, thus compensates by making his fighting style based around breathing out his attacks in direct force. Mimicking the nature of elements through curving his movement.

Drazenith Zetsubou is linked to a grappling set of rune-geared equipment that enables vertical maneuverability, set around Ritsueto’s waist as a bodily harness linked to a machine on his back known as a Vaesir Drive. The Vaesir Drive has batteries charged by protoplasm-atomic energy oversurging due to it attempting to mimic the Aether that came from it, and is administered with Ritsueto’s Arcane Drive labeled Laplace, the last Fermial of a lost continent. Laplace speaks in static and sends information of the precise location and momentum of every atom in the universe with past and future values, preparing Ritsueto for coordination in vertical movement. The Vaesir Drive is linked to Ritsueto’s brainwaves, allowing conversion for him and Isobel.

To maneuver more quickly, Ritsueto projects a phantasmic bolt from his side-equipment in the form of a talisman chain of magic amplification that he can use to either assault enemies or quickly warp himself toward it’s target. Blending into his surroundings by creating a warp illusion similar to the event horizon of a black hole, making him almost invisible or highly resistant to detection for a second. This works in unison with the materials in Drazenith Zetsubou allowing to cut through the weaknesses of mutants such as Ultfinites or Nosoimones. The phantasmic bolts are produced through Ritsueto consuming matter of fallen beings to produce an attracting light in the electromagnetic spectrum in the form of dark energy. Similarly to Gestalt Calibur, Drazenith Zetsubou can parry shots when entering a defensive block stance that turns Ritsueto around with the sheathed blade of Drazenith to reduce damage and countering toward a brief prompt. but doesn’t have any cancels when dodging or parrying.

• Has a 3-slash combo that has potential to be extensive depending on approach. First slash goes from downward to Ritsueto’s side, second slash goes diagonally downward and the last slash goes from above Ritsueto’s head to an outward slash. Last slash isn’t heavy unlike Elpis thus has more freedom with using blade weapon, and can be held to send a shockwave trail but using double inputs with Phantom allows Ritsueto to rush at an enemy with a rapid slash that launches enemies backwards. This can be extended for 2 more slashes by pausing in the middle of the combo with fast slashes that summons phantasmic bolts floating around him, then can launch these bolts at enemies
• If Ritsueto holds during his combo, his slashes become heavier but do more damage and can extend with wide slashes that reach up to mid-air before performing a kanji-styled energy slash as a 7-slash combo.
• A slash that crosses with Drazenith’s glaive form, creating a shockwave crescent
• While air-borne, Ritsueto can intangibly dash through enemies in a slash when they are marked with his phantasmic bolt. Can happen similarly for lamp-shaped aerial boosters. Maneuvering dash requires energy but is one of the fastest dashes, being able to be done 3 times. Mid-dash Ritsueto can change his trajectory with directional inputs.
• Is able to slash away enemy projectiles
• Has the same blade thrust as Elpis but goes through an enemy when the attack is held leaving them stunned for a short while, dragging Drazenith across the ground and leaving slash trails for extra damage. Holding this leads to a launch and a mid-air slash follow-up.
• A chargeable upward launch (Styled in a Battojustsu stance) with easier held follow-up attacks due to how it unleashes a surge of protoplasms beneath Ritsueto after he briefly teleports forward. Surrounding his attack with a vortex in a follow-up
• Ritsueto’s overhead slash when on the ground goes fully 360, having decent width. When he’s doing an uppercut slash, he has great height.
• Cannot use a normal sword attack during dashes, always using his phantasmic stab which will hit on both sides and cause multi-hits. But can slash well when generally moving.
• Drazenith’s modes has sword-sheathing charge draw attacks releasing a slashing ripple wave of energized protoplasms supporting his movement with a spatial malfunction, allowing to readjust his attacks. These charge attacks require to use 1 or 2 keys following the first that enters the sheathing stance, as it will retract Drazenith back. Charges have a quantum windup animation with the blade drawing in a circular aura circulating blood to deal heavy damage through extending Drazenith by lessening defense. Can be done on the ground and mid-air. Pressing a heavy attack during the charge changes to a different combo and the attack is meant to be released when the sword’s drawn in circular aura causes a flash. Double-pressing light attack quick during the sheathe performs an aggressive phantasmic dash
• Entropic Dance: Ritsueto wildly slashes in any direction, moving around enemies caught in it’s range having a follow-up that alternates Drazenith’s mode.
• Izuna Drop: A finisher for mid-air, altering for ground combat
• Air-dashes send crescent-shaped slashes
• A side-stepping slash that can be moved left or right for an alternating slash from Drazenith collapsing down
• Flashes spiked protoplasms from the hilt of his blade, jabbing enemies
• Charges to aim a wide slash that cuts through entropic debris after performing heavy damage on an enemy
• 3 mid-air slashes that can be paused to extend into an aerial blow
• Throws out a surge that counters incoming enemies, and can combo in 4 entropic bolts swirling enemies together if they’re nearby
• Rotates to send out bolts in a ring pattern
• Quick-draw that slashes outward with a double slash going upward then downward, leaving behind a trail and pulls in enemies
• Flips over an enemy with a multi-hitting slash, cancelling out dashes
• Turning inwards slash and an outwards slash that’s wide, chargeable to form long-ranged twirling slashes for ground and mid-air
• Backwards slash reaching enemies that are behind Ritsueto
• Lunges in for a counter-offensive grab to enemies that are about to attack Ritsueto from the front
• Vector Rampage: Ritsueto charges up vectors to release an entropic burst of energy, dealing area-of-effect damage to surrounding foes thus is ideal for controlling the battlefield in tight situations
• A series of fast multi-slashes followed by a sheathing thrust for ground and air
• Can teleport away from an enemy when nearly hit by an attack, performing a stealthy counterattack
• Can use a spell card taking three wheels from the Onyx Black-out’s gauge, doing a wide slash across enemies but when holding it with a full bar it activates Onyx Black-out.
• Can perform a descending tsunami-like spin slash after pressing downward attack in midair, rolling down and leaving behind afterimages. Also can perform a rolling spin slash while dashing, going past enemies and shredding them, ending with a flipping slam. Upgraded variation in Onyx Black-out sends rising blades that are in the form of dark lightning upon fully slashing downward onto the ground via using multiple Vestiges.
• Stabs his blade into the ground, sending a beam shot as a spell card
• A phantasmic dodge that creates a slice sweeping enemies
• Has a downward blade-dive attack performed in mid-air to send Ritsueto diagonally toward an enemy below, creating a blast on impact. Attacking in mid-air makes Ritsueto do an outward shredding slash.
• One Vestige can be stabbed into the ground by Ritsueto via pressing a downward slash, sheathing his blade for a sword-sheathe to release a wave of debris via the fragment to attack those near it. Varrying effects with Ex Arms.
• Creates a mid-air platform to either perch on or slide on, being able to dive from it or throw out phantasmic bolts that he sets up for damage or to maneuver in his basic attacks
• Has a more difficult parry and can’t dodge-cancel like Elpis. Has a powerful hopping slash attack against airborne enemies. Parries allows Ritsueto to do a counter slash with high knockback.
• Taunting enemies causes them to be more powerful with more damage, making Ritsueto be more evasive in exchange for more power.Increased damage allows Ritsueto to break armor and dice enemies to ribbons for easier executions. Taunted enemies can’t be blocked or parried and they will cause more damage as a consequence for increasing points. Blocking isn’t recommended unless using counter parries. Heavy attacks negates damage
• Has stealth takedowns on unsuspecting enemies
• Onyx Black-out grants a continuous flowing slash before releasing a downward slam with Drazenith as a spell card
• Spell card that creates creatures that home in on enemies
• Creates a multi-hitting mandala of orbs that causes multi-hits and is passive for a short duration
