Kido Apps, THE ENDEAVOR.

It was another sunny day at the range, Auryuu had spent the last few days held up in his house reading from the kido manuals his squadmates had given him, Auryuu had had quite a diffuculty with learning kido, but had recently reached the first 10 hado, and bakudo, so he was content, but to be in squad 5 meant kido specialization and being strong, which is why he had made it his agenda to go to the academy and practice his kido everyday. Auryuu had spent many days researching the hado kidos, and had only fumbled into a few, including the one he was about the practice, "Bound Lightning".

Auryuu eventually reached the target range, he was going to practice hado #11 Bound Lightning, that was the next step in advancement. Auryuu had spent a few minutes setting up the targets, he had set up so many targets of late, he could do it with ease and had the fastest time ever on the course for setting targets, probably. Auryuu held his hand out to the target, he had known this hado, it would hurt if he messed up, "Hado #11 Bound lightning"!, A current had indeed shocked the target and Auryuus palm, blowing up in his palm and his face, while barely hurting the target and just pushing the thing over. Auryuu sat down nursing the wound, but still did not give up, "Why is this kido so diffucult, it's just the next step up from horin", Auryuu held his left hand out this time, standing up glaring at the target, "Hado #11 Bound Lightning", sending a actually stronger yet still weak successful current through the target, he hadn't perfected it, but he had learned it, but not made it as strong as he wanted, he decided he would try both hands this time, Auryuu reached out his hands this time transfering the energy through the medium, being the target, and it was instantly blown away, "What the hell"?

Auryuu sat at the range, just after perfecting his newly used hado, bound lightning, Auryuu lay by the range reading his seperate Bakudo manual, he came across a intresting spell, a spell that would help blind the enemy as well as make them lose footing, Bakudo number #11 Dust wind, "What a antogonizing kido", Auryuu said astounded by how it was a double threat, and could be highly useful to his fighting style, Auryuu sat down reading how to use it, it involved generating a big sand wind, to trip up the opponent, wonderful, Auryuu loved to make his opponent angry to break their focus.

Auryuu stood up by the targets once more, one was completely fried by hado #11 bound lightning, and the others barely even touched, he raised his eyebrow at the though of his kido would not have any consequences on him, Auryuu smiled as he said the incantation, "Blind the enemy with the endless sands of the desert. Burn his eyes and weaken his soul", a small amount of sand was generated by his feet, Auryuu frowned at the sight, "Even the simple kido, I can't even do", Auryuu shook his head at the results of his kido, "again", Auryuu's voice rang throughout the course and echoed with his enchantment, putting his all into the incantation," Blind the enemy with the endless sands of the desert. Burn his eyes and weaken his soul", a storm of sand lifted throughout the air, like a small desert storm, leaving the targets hit in sand, "I must do it again", Auryuu layed down, catching his breath, and quickly stood up, "What am I doing this isn't making progress, Auryuu stood infront of the multiple targets and dumped the remaining power of his voice and his spiritual power into the incantation, "Blind the enemy with the endless sands of the desert. Burn his eyes and weaken his soul", the storm bigger now but using all of his remaining reiatsu to create a decently sized storm that generated almost instantly and pushed over all the front targets, "Wow", Auryuu sat down smiling and layed down, due to his exhaustion.

Hado/Bakudo 12 (app):

It was 12 a.m. at the training course, Auryuu had been drowsy all day. The day before he had exhausted himself learning those two kido, Auryuu had had quite a hard time learning kido, probably his worst weakpoint. Auryuu stood silently refering to the books infront of him he read the next kido,Ambush Flare, huh, Auryuu read the effects, the uses, and its incantation, which it didn't have labeled.Constructs a net of Kido energy around the area to entrap enemies, Sounds good too me, of course he knew it wasn't that easy and scrolled down the spells description to get more information. However, the net has to be laid out by the caster dispersing Kido energy as the run around the area. And the net is visible as it's being laid out. But if the caster manages to set it up without the enemy noticing, any enemies within the field will be trapped. Depending on where the user runs, the net can even have a save zone in the center for any allies present, so basically it's not for one on one battle, great, Auryuu once again failing to see potiential uses for the spell, he had always failed to notice things like this, no matter it be kido, or any other things, sometimes he didn't think, which was a quality that betrayed anyone in squad 5.

Auryuu collected his mind getting ready to cast the kido he tried to visualize the spell itself, and he was thinking of the focus needed to create the kido itself. Auryuu approached the targets, running circles around them. Auryuu shouted the kido, breaking the silence around him, "Bakudo 12 Ambush Flare",When completing the circle it did take, but it was too slow of a casting time to be used. Auryuu tried again going faster this time trying to disperse his kido accurately, not taking upon the completion of his circle. Auryuu cursed,"damn why can't I do this", Auryuu sat down to catch his breath. Auryuu repeated his actions this time faster he spoke again,"Bakudo 12 Ambush Flare", his kido took, and instantly trapped the kido, he had finally done it, Auryuu raised his fist to the sky, for his victory, and smiled at the field that lay before him. He could do this he knew, he could. He would just have to practice his spells.
400/220 including the spells description itself

Auryuu getting over his latest victory refered to his destruction kido book for the next spell, he frantically flipped a few pages to the spells information, this spell had been a pretty good one by his standards,Needle release huh?, he read the description,The user will release multiple needles from their skin,"Hmmm", Auryuu read the spell thinking it was simply a nice attack based kido, smiling with it's effects he laughed out of excitement,"sweet", he said in a mutter. Auryuu sat up quickly, almost impatient to learn it,"okay here goes", he read the incantation from the book in his left hand,"From my skin, I release the porcupine's spines. Inject the target", Auryuu skin quickly shot out small needles, and they simply dropped from his skin gaining no distance whatsoever, Auryuu frowned at the result, and lifted the book up to read the spell again. Auryuu focused, thinking of nothing but the spell and speaking the incantation while facing the multiple targets,"From my skin, I release the porcupine's spines, Inject the target!", this time yelling to trigger it, Auryuu infact got distance this time, but did not have the striking power to pierce the dummys, whos texture wasn't even as tough as a regular humans.

Auryuu sat dumbfounded staring at the targets, he had been overly disapointed at the results of his latest attempt, Auryuu refered to the book again making sure he had been doing everything right, thinking to himself, it was too much reading. Auryuu dropped the book on the hard ground making a ploping sound. Auryuu would give it one more attempt, Auryuu summoned up all of his strength on the casting of this kido. Auryuu strutted up to the front of the targets, clearing his mind, to pull off the kido. Words broke the air as he spoke the incantation,"From my skin, I release the porcupine's spines inject the target", his words echoed as his skin opened releasing the dangerous spines from his body, successfully impaling the targets,"there we go", Auryuu looked at the targets with pride.

First part is only 290 word (in Word) and a quarter of it is you re-posting the spell's description verbatim. Making it barely 200 of your own posting. For those two alone I rejection.



Second one is 339 words. Not sure where you're getting your numbers from. Approved.


392 after Edit. Again, wrong count. Still feels a weak application.

As you get to the higher ranks such fluffing isn't going to be as easy. TAKE YOUR TIME. Work on it. Approved.

Auryuu woke up ready, after sleeping from the previous night, in his overly small bed. Auryuu had brought his reference materials to his house the day before, studying a good sum of the kidou, he had already perfected and the ones he hadn't even attempted. Auryuu was going to the range today to practice Bakudo 13, and Hado 13. Auryuu had departed from the senkai gate, getting permission, from a higher up from his squad, seeing as it was logical training, he would have to practice with moving targets, living targets at sometime or another.

Auryuu stepped out the gate ending up deep inside a dark damp forest....perfect. Auryuu looked around side to side seeing countless deer, and birds. Auryuu opened his text book raising a hand upwards pointing towards a unsuspecting deer, as he whispered his incantation for his kidou, "Lord of the Eternity, halt time on the one of the four gears of war that drives man, limb lock", the spell fired off the deer sucessfully running off when being hit in the leg, with just a little movement from it, not a successful attempt in Auryuu's eyes at all. Auryuu edged further into the forest going further inside of the deep dark scenery.

Auryuu caught the sight of another deer, simply standing there and eating berries of a bush, Auryuu spoke the incantation yet again,Lord of the Eternity, halt time on the one of the four gears of war that drives man, Limb lock", his spell this time being more successful, the deer now tried to limb off, he moved slowly, and eventually stumbled over, Auryuus spell had stopped the deer in it's tracks, in succession.

Auryuu now finishing up with the bakudo, had moved on to the hado, Auryuu looked further into the forest peering into the trees looking for a worthy target, this hado was much more wide spreading and contained the element of lightning. Auryuu finally caught eye of a swarm of bats flying high up in the sky, it was a long shot but it was practice, and his only shot at casting it, so far. Auryuu spoke the incantation softly, the forests cold now shivering down his spine, "An array of bees sting you with the force of many, Killer bee", much like when he gave needle release a first try, the bullets from his finger tips fired, not more than 2 feet and not showing any particular power to it, as they quickly got blown away by the wind.

Auryuu frowned as they were pushed away by the wind, the bats now far away into the sky swarming at a impossible to reach distance. Auryuu wandered further into the forest, before seeing a couple crows nesting on the brances of a tree, Auryuu seeing the opportunity quickly spoke the incantation before they could move, "An array of bees sting you with the force of many, Killer bee", the bullets now piercing through the air the only problem is when they hit no sign of a lightning element attack had been seen, no lightning, no paralyzing, nothing.

Auryuu frowned, now a frown of severe hate for the spell. Auryuu leaned in further into the forest now reaching a big amount of trees that encircled around him, more crows now resided all around him, Auryuu armed himself, his reiatsu now suffering from the kido casted, and the fact he had probably put in too much power into his kido, Auryuu read the incantation once more now yelling it towards the crows that encircled him on the tree branches, "An array of bees sting you with the force of many, Killer bee", the bullets now firing brightly piercing further in the air, it had been a success, by the time the spell had stopped firing Auryuu was exhausted and the crows were dead.

Bakudo 14 Hanzennaseigen(完全な制限 full restraint) PT.1

Auryuu had just recently came back from the human world. He noticed many differences between the two realms he witnessed on a daily basis. The balance between them, the fact that soul society protected something, showed something, maybe sympathy or love for humans? Something along those lines. Every shinigami was suposedly once a human anyways, Auryuu knew he was from his human world flashbacks, that seemed to get more and more progressive lately. His kido power had grown a little bit, but only through his studies, he wasn't yet great at it, but could cast every bakudo and hado quite easily that was under 11.

Auryuu took yet another trip to the range today, having stocking up on the materials to make the dummys, he set it up prior to changing into his shinigami garments. The targets were made of straw, and resembled scare crows, their artificial limbs, were pieced together carefully with a wrap that kept the strange straw together. The straw dummys were carefully crafter, by Auryuu, it had taken him an hour to set up the few he constructed.

Moments after changing Auryuu hit the range to test a kido he had read up on the other night. He mediated for a little bit, which always helped him to gather his thoughts. After his temporary peace he whipped a fire fireballs at the metal bullseyes, that were set up around the range. Casting kido like that he felt, helped him get set up, to cast higher level kido. Auryuu was ready after 4 or 5 fireballs, that had hit the targets dead on.

He also memorized the incantation for the kido, making it stronger, and making it more easy to cast. Auryuu began to speak in a medium tone, "The bonds that bind, 13 blank ropes bound to these 7 pegs to the one who deserves nothing but the fullest of recourse". The kido binded the target weakly, and instead of being tight was loose, as the targets hands still moved in the wind. Auryuu tried it again, "The bonds that bind, 13 blank ropes bound to these 7 pegs to the one who deserves nothing but the fullest of recourse". This time the kido just altogether missed. Auryuu stared at the target with disapointment giving it one more go, "The bonds that bind, 13 blank ropes bound to these 7 pegs to the one who deserves nothing but the fullest of recourse". This one had been a success binding the targets hands and feet together, not even moved by the strong winds.

Hado 14 Blood arrow

Auryuu was excited as he watched his kido succeed. Auryuu smiled at his success watching the dummy, he was so happy with the results he decided to try a kido from his past that had given him a little trouble. Auryuu cracked his knuckles, and his neck, as his muscles began to tense up. Auryuu took a firm stance on the soft grass where his targets still stood, one still stunned by the successful bakudo. Auryuu took a few deep breathes than began his first attempt. He tried to remember the incantation, but couldn't quite remember what exactly it was. He thought hard to remember what the book had said to say.

Moments passed and still nothing was remembered. He looked to some other shinigami who had sat down on a bench across the field and asked them, "Hey do you remember what the incantation for hado number 14 is"? Two boys shrugged, as the other girl with brown eyes began to speak,"I think it's, Let my blood become my bow, let my breath become the mist". He thanked her as he left to go attempt that incantation not sure if it was the right one.

Auryuu now stood feet away from the target as he casted it,"Let my blood become my bow, let my breath become the mist", he said as his blood instantly became a arrow, and a bow. Auryuu pulled the bowstring back as the tension increased, shooting it full speed at the targets face. The bow sunk in casuing moderate damage, but covered everything in the field in a sizable red mist, he had got it on the first try. This day had been perfect for him, and he left to go catch up on sleep feeling quite accomplished.

Auryuu's spiritual power had expanded exponentially, after reaching shikai. His skills were not as limited as they had used to be when he was a academy student. Auryuu had been reading more and more kido texts. They amounted to most of his mini library in his closet. He was focused on bakudo today as he came to the range, to hone his skills. Auryuu set up his targets, stretched and even read a little bit from the book he had brought. He believed his kido was better after he was at peace with his surrondings, and also at peace with himself. Auryuu was at peace with everything in his life, the only thing that caused distress were the hollow now. Whenever he saw a hollow, he showed no remorse. He usually killed it with a hado immediately and moved on. Sometimes, he'd just slice through them, like butter.

The killing arts, weren't something to be abused. Auryuu believed that. He started to focus on bakudo for the pure reason, his sword was strong enough for the fatal blows, and the crippling strikes. Auryuu would learn about 6 of them today, all of which he had previously attempted, but had failed. Today he was determined to succeed. Leaving his zanpaktou at home due to it's nature of distraction. Whenever he casted one with it in his hands, even though it's only been in it's sealed form in combat. Nenshou Jokai, had enjoyed interupted Auryuu's train of concentrated thoughts.

Auryuu out streched his arm steadily raising it as well. He aimed it straight at the target dummy, saying the incantation. "Swarm all those that creep and crawl divide those who wish to lay eye and ear upon me, Bakudo number 15 Bunbun'unarumure". A giant stream of flying insects encircled the target, obscuring Auryuu's vision as well as, hurting his ears a little. The insects eventually disapeared, the annoying sound leaving Auryuu with a headache as he shook it off. Auryuu planned to use the next kido on his list, for a continuing marathon of kido.

Auryuu took his stance standing firm. He began to speak in a medium tone, "Heaven release the embodiment of your fairness and leave this one to recieve their punishment, bakudo number 16 Yonoshiroibou!". He said this one with a little more confidence. Sure enough from the sky came the 4 white stakes entangling the target before Auryuu's eyes. They wrapped around the target, almost covering the whole thing. The bakudo was tight, as the dummy was almost constricted with it, lie a boa constrictor was around it. Auryuu took a liking to this one, having never seen it before. He thought it was unique. He made a mental note to use it in battle sometime. Auryuu liked the supression bakudo the most. Hainzenagan, had become when of his most favorite, along with crawling rope. Anything that could stop or trip up the opponent, helped in his battles. This one was one of the stronger takes time to cast bakudo. He had noticed, how long it took to decend from the sky. It was unique in that sense, where it could sneak up on a unsuspecting enemy at any point in battle. It was a intimidating kido to be caught into. Anyone in it would fear it, once captured, because of the amount of time the caster has to subdue the target. This kido could also travel the road of least violence, meaning with a weaker opponent it could just stop them then and there. There were the points that made the kido a great one in Auryuu's opinion.

The kido took only moments to disapear, as Auryuu assisted by trying to get it off the dummy. Eventually Auryuu found himself further near to targets. He took the same stance a previusly letting his energy come towards him and gather. He took a few deep breathes, as he focused on his goal. He really wanted this, it was long time goal he had set for himself to learn, a wide variety of kido. He was working on being the most practical kido user in the 5th squad. Most of them were pretty strong kido users, some were just not cut out for it however. Auryuu aimed his two hands at the targets legs. He waited for a little bit, as he stared at the targets feet. Auryuu set his eyes firmly on the target. "The earth, what one falls upon when nature binds the lower appendages". Nothing happened. Auryuu's frustration built as he attempted it again, The earth, what one falls upon when nature binds the lower appendages, Bakudo number 17 Keikainatorappu! Auryuu's streak had ended, but the spell had finally come out. Auryuu identifyied why it didn't work the first time, as he noticed the toll of the spell on his current energy. He still didn't stop, and moved on to his next kido soon after, he took a small break.

Auryuu this time was on the roof of the academy. He used shunpo to reach his destination, in a mere couple of seconds. Auryuu was not seen by any or atleast not paid attention too, as he stood there overlooking the range. Auryuu streched his legs a little bit, getting ready for the jump. He hoped it would work, but was prepared if it didn't. Auryuu cracked his knuckles as he uttered the incantation, now standing at the edge of the 2 story roof. The edge was narrow, as he stood over the gutter. Auryuu jumped off, with as much momentum as he could gain. The fall wouldn't hurt too bad, even if it didn't work, but Auryuu fueled his kido with the fact he didn't want to be embarassed. "Gravity, leave my body. Wind, carry my feet. Heavens, wait for my arrival". His eyes looked determined, as he jumped off the building. Bakudo 18 feather fall! Nothing happened as Auryuu braced for impact. Then he noticed the kido had taken a time delay, landing softly on the ground. Auryuu realized his energy level dropping, as his power reserve lessened. It bothered him a little bit, the fact that these kido used so much power. Even if they weren't particularly used for violent purposes. There was a reason they were higher ranked. He felt his spirit gauge lower, hovering a moderate amount below empty. Auryuu's stomach began to growl, reminding him that he was hungry. Auryuu had gone a few days without eating big meals, and this was often a consquence of it. Auryuu decided to take another break, it was lunch time and he was hungry. With the few cash he held in his garbs, he had just enough for the cheapest noodle shop in town.

Auryuu had just came back from a small family owned noodle shop in rukongai. The food was cheap, and was filing, a suitable combination for him. Nothing had to be tasty, if it was atleast food, that's what he thought. It had been awhile since he had eaten any really tasty food, he would have to treat himself soon, so long as he learned these kido.

Auryuu didn't know how to learn this next one, he would have to get someone, luckly there was another man from 7th squad standing a small distance from him. Auryuu walked slowly over to him as he whipped some ferocius, hado towards the targets. "Hey", he called out to him as he wasn't sure how to speak to him. The man peered over and spoke back as he looked frustrated from being interupted, "What do you want?, he said rudely. Auryuu gave him a apologetic look as he spoke back to the man, he really did need his assitance. Could you help me with this bakudo?, he asked as the man changed his look, "Which one?", the man asked now suddenly full of curiosity. Auryuu soon answered back standing still, keeping a suitable distance between eachother, "Bakudo 19 energy fade. Auryuu said it softly, as he allowed the man to speak. The man waited a few seconds, as he most likely thought about. Eventually the man broke down and began to speak again, "Why not", he said in a voice like it was such a big drag to him. "Could you tell me if you can sense me, or if you can feel my spiritual power. The man nodded. Auryuu circled around the building as he used his bakudo, "Bakudo 19 energy fade!", nothing seemed different, but he began to shunpo back. The man began to talk "You can'[t use shunpo or reiatsu skills when doing it, but not too shabby, he said as he turned around ignoring Auryuu again. Auryuu was pleased with his results. He would eat the biggest meal for dinner he'd have in a long time.

fixed =D

Don't forget about tech stat deductions. I dunno how much he had before, but still.
