Class Skills-
"I'll take on any position you need me to operate in, even if I have to operate behind enemy lines but that sort of position, i must some freedoms to operate how I see fit"
Independent Action: B: is the ability to remain independent even when rejecting the Magical Energy supply from one's Master; the ability that allows for action even in the absence of the Master. Independent Action is the Class Skill of the Archer and Faker classes.
It is possible for a Servant to stay in the world for two days without a Master. However, this is the ideal value achieved by maximally conserving mana and avoiding battle and Noble Phantasm usage.
Byakua Kuchiki often fought and operated alone without needing additional orders or commanding his squad in any assignment, which showcased his ability to operate on an independent level.
The greatest example of this is Byakuya's work in operating directly behind enemy lines in Hueco Mundo which was the spiritual home of all hollows and the current base of the Traitor Sosuke Aizen, though while Byakuya was deployed with three other captains, Archer focused more on finding Rukia and protected her while also defeating an Espada at the same time with no additional help.
"I may be what one would consider a master practitioner of my worlds form of 'Magecraft' but it doesn't make me immune to any of its effects if directed at me"
Magic Resistance: D: grants protection against magical effects. Differing from the Resistance effect that merely rejects Magical Energy, this ability cancels the spells altogether.
Cancels Single-Action spells. Magic Resistance of the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.
Byakuya was a master practitioner when it came to his own worlds form of Magecraft which is known as Kido but Archer has show little to no resistance to withstand or negate any spell direct at him without the use of powerful defense Kido to defend him.
Personal Skills-
"It was expected of me to be the best at all schools of Soul Reaper Combat and I didn't stop until I had proven my worth in salt, yet there are still some who can best in in the Art of Kido"
Kido: A+ : This skill depicts the servants used in a specific form of Magecraft only shown to be used by spirits known as Death Gods, the ranking details how many spells that the servant knows and how far of a degree of mastery that they obtained.
Byakuya Kuchiki was hailed to have been a master practitioner when it came to utilize Kido which meant he knows all 100 Hado and Bakudo Kido spells and can cast these spells relatively easily to the point that he could cast them without needing to site an incantation verse to cast them but doing so like that regardless of one's mastery, it moderately decreases the Kido's power but Byakuya having practiced Kido to a form of mastery could manage to reduce the weakness of incantationless Kido to retain more power, rendering it to 'It slightly decreases the Kido's power'
"I was born in a family that had produced some of the Soul Societies greatest soul reapers and some who etched themselves into our history by less then honorable means, i am one in a long line of Kuchiki to have become a soul reaper, though one of the few in my family history to become a captain even less to have discovered Bankai."
Shinigami: A+ : Is a unique composite Skill that represents the nature of Archer. He is a Shinigami, or God of Death, that serves as guardians of the souls who are going through the circle of transmigration. Shinigami purify Hollows who do evil in the World of the Living and ensure the safe crossing of souls - the Pluses who have lost their way after death - by giving them a soul burial. Although Shinigami are really the spirits of humans that have trained to weaponize their souls and guide other spirits to the afterlife, because they are universally recognized as Death Gods they do gain a small amount of divinity.
Thus, this Skill grants Archer Divinity at Rank-D, the ability to sense any Servant, even with any hiding Skills, and be able to harm them in their own spirit form.
"My clan, the Kuchiki, is an incredibly old clan in Soul Reaper history, earning a place in one of the few noble clans that makes up a small portion of the Seireitei so to answer your question Master, I am…'Swimming' in money"
Golden Rule: A+ : is a Skill that refers to the measurement of one's fortune to acquire wealth.
Byakuya Kuchiki is the current head of the Kuchiki Clan which is one of the oldest families in soul society history, having produced some of the most gifted soul reapers of history ranging from Ginrei Kuchiki who was the previous captain of squad 6, and Koga Kuchiki though Koga may not have been a genuine Kuchiki due to marrying into the family, he still held a powerful position in history after being falsely accused and then led the soul reaper rebellion.
Byakuya currently has his entire families fortune at his fingertips and can live comfortably since the time of his birth straight into his own service as a soul reaper, never having to worry about any form of money issues.
Noble Phantasm(s)-
"My Sword and Partner Senbonzakura is a powerful zanpakuto that has earned me a spot in the high seating of the soul reapers, a perfect blend and balance of Offense and Defense…a weapon most wouldn't have expected."
*Shikai: Senbonzakura - Dance of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms.
Rank: C.
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Group.
Ability: Senbonzakura is a regular katana. It has a simple cross guard, with an open frame much like a four-pane window. It has a bronze guard, with lavender hilt-wrapping, and a white sheath.
In its Shikai, Senbonzakura's blade separates into a thousand tiny, slender blade fragments, which fly away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in Byakuya's hand. While the blades are supposedly too small to be seen normally, they reflect light in such a way as to resemble cherry blossom petals. By swinging Senbonzakura's hilt, Byakuya can control the blade fragments, allowing him to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense. The blades can be used for defensive purposes, as they can protect Byakuya from an incoming sword swing. In order to protect Byakuya from his own attacks in both Shikai and Bankai, Senbonzakura possesses a Hurtless Area, where it does not cut anything within 85 cm of Byakuya unless he himself allows the blades to enter the area.
"Bankai…The Final Release of a zanpakuto, it takes ten years minimum to learn a Zanpakuto's true name and even then, not just anyone could manage to achieve Bankai because knowing their name isn't enough, you'd have to subjugate your zanpakuto and become stronger then them to wield their power, if you can't you'll be overwhelmed and killed from the spiritual energy"
*Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi - A Sea of Endless Pink aka Don't piss off Japan.
Rank: B.
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Group/Anti-Army.
Ability: Byakuya's Bankai is a much larger version of Senbonzakura's Shikai. To activate it, Byakuya drops his sword straight down; the sword does not have to be completely intact for Byakuya to activate his Bankai, as he can simply drop all the pieces at once with both hands. The sword phases into the ground, as though it were a pool of water. Energy ripples expand out, turning the surrounding area dark, and within seconds, two rows of a thousand giant blades rise up from the ground. Those thousand swords scatter, and countless flying blades pierce the enemy. No one knows the exact number of blades generated, and no one can dodge or even see the movements of these blades. The number of blades is great enough that Byakuya can simultaneously use them for offense and defense. He commonly forms them into large masses to obliterate opponents instantaneously. As they move through the air like torrents of waves, they give the appearance of cherry blossoms flowing swiftly along the wind. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's defensive use allows Byakuya to cover himself entirely in these tiny blades, forming a body shield. Unlike his Shikai, his Bankai is mentally controlled. While Byakuya can control the blades with his mind alone, using his hands allows him to do so more effectively, making the blades move twice as fast. Similar to his Shikai, its attack is triggered with the phrase Scatter. Upon deactivation, the sealed version of Senbonzakura is reconstituted within Byakuya's hands.
"Master, take note, this is Senbonzakura's true form. Normally I would only use this by discarding my defense to favor the offense however there was an instance where I utilize a specific technique that proved the Only Offense Quipe True"
*Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi - A Bounded Field of Pure Offense.
Rank: A.
Type: Anti-Unit/Anti-Group.
Ability: The true form of Senbonzakura. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands, which form four rows. These rows float just above each other, and circle around Byakuya and his opponent in a continuously moving, column-like array. It abandons defense in favor of a concentrated offense. Though visually menacing, this form is not meant for attack from all sides; rather, it concentrates his Bankai into fewer blades, thus increasing his attack power. While Byakuya can mentally control these swords, he commonly calls them to his hands for actual melee combat. When in his hand, they lose their glow, and take the form of his sealed Zanpakutō. It seems to take fewer blows from a Senkei blade to gravely injure an opponent than the multiple cuts needed from the unfocused Bankai. Senkei seals Byakuya in with his enemy, allowing neither combatant to move very far from each other, though the area is still large enough for maneuverability. The deadliest aspect of the Senkei form is that it allows for use of all the swords at the same attack level, making it a way to effectively defeat an enemy unaware of the danger of the situation. It is extremely rare for Byakuya to use this ability, doing so only when he has sworn to cut down the opponent with his very own hands. Ichigo is the second being to ever witness the ability. Even when Senkei isn't activated, Byakuya can form identical swords from his base Bankai to be used in combat. This technique requires Byakuya's blood to activate.
-Ikka Senjinka: Byakuya attacks a single target with all of his Senkei swords at once. Fitting to Senkei focusing solely on offense, it is Senbonzakura Kageyoshi's ultimate attack.
-Gōkei: This form increases the number of tiny blades immensely. It creates a spherical formation of innumerable blade fragments, which swirl around the opponent like a cloud before flying into them from every possible angle, leaving no blind spots and no possibility of escape. It proceeds to collapse in on itself, obliterating the opponent. When used, it completely obliterated a very large building from the inside out, and the resulting shockwave generated by the attack forced Byakuya himself to Flash Step away.
-Shūkei: Hakuteiken: This condenses each and every one of his blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power. The spiritual energy and pressure released by this form is immense. The blade appears bright white, and its aura takes the form of a bird, earning it the name Hakuteiken. Pure white wings form on Byakuya's back, as well as a halo-like circle, made of concentrated spiritual energy. This form's blade can create aggravated injuries in a single blow. The wings can be used for flight.
