Name: Spirit Body Constructor
Type: Technology
Description: Makuro's most ingenious invention, based off of a previous experiment that had extremely unexpected results. The previous machine involved recreating, or "resurrecting" deceased souls. This machine, which takes the form of a large capsule like container, upon data input for personality, appearance (they can look like anyone), abilities, orders, and other such necessary mental elements, uses either spirit particles from Soul Society, or blood and reiatsu samples from beings such as hollows and even shinigami
combined with spirit particles as a template to generate a new spirit being, called an Ersatz Altered soul, or simply an Alter. Similar to Artificial Souls and Mod Souls in technical aspects, these beings serve a variety of purposes. Makuro's cruel genius allows for some Ersatz to be born with actual souls and personalities, while others are born with nothing of the sort, and are essentially just killing machines. Some Altered Souls are made with a "basic" template. That is, they are not based off of any entity, but merely created from raw spirit particles without any reiatsu supplements. These beings vary in appearance, but have the same abilities. If Makuro can fully analyze a spirit beings structure, he is able to "program" an Alter with a semblance of that beings personality. Essentially cloning them. However, he can only bestow a fraction of the original's abilities upon an Altered Soul, due to them having a limited amount of reiatsu (no more than 50). Though they have a limited amount of reiatsu, the relative power of the spirit pressure is dependent on the original from whom the Alter was constructed. If the reiatsu is weak, it will feel weak to those around it. However if an Alter was made from an extremely powerful original, such as a Vastro Lorde, the reiatsu will feel just as powerful and oppressive as it rightly should. Physically, Alters made this way are just as strong, fast, and tough as the originals. Due to some of the Altered Souls having actual free will, Makuro has installed a fail safe self destruct mechanism. With a pulse of his reiatsu, Makuro can cause any Altered Soul to self destruct, either explosively, or gently. In an Alter's self destruction, they will either explode, violently releasing any remaining reiatsu they have, or they will simply swirl away, their reiatsu and being completely dispersed. Altered Souls also have the ability to self-destruct themselves at any time. The machine is powered by spirit particles, which it draws from Soul Society itself. This gives the constructs their power. Depending on Makuro's intent, Altered souls can be made with "regular" reiatsu, with a large amount of a subjects reiatsu thereby mimicking their exact reiatsu signature, or made with spliced reiatsu using the blood of the original being combined with reiatsu generated from spirit particle conversion. This new reiatsu is similar to Arrancar's or Vizard and is permeated with an intense wrongness due to the unnatural way in which it was produced.

Each Alter will be made as a separate technique, as Makuro gets reiatsu and blood samples from different characters (with prior consent). Blood and samples are gained by combat, actual consent, or by collecting samples from other character's battlefields. Reiatsu samples are gained from the blood itself. EACH Altered soul created will only be created IN the rp with the appropriate word count. (Therefore I'm not going to make an army of these things.) Each Ersatz Altered soul has a set of unique abilities inherent to their race.

Standard Abilities:The following abilities could feasibly be learned by another being skilled enough, but are also abilities inherent to Alters.
Name: Weapon Generation
Type: Technique
Description: Uses their own spirit power as well as surrounding spirit particles to generate a variety of weapons. These weapons are created in such a way that they appear completely solid and real. The weapons are quite durable, with durability in direct correlation to the Ersatz Alter's Spiritual Arts Skill. The purpose of this technique is to give Alters a realistic chance against beings such as Shinigami, Hollows, Vizards, and Arrancar. Once the initial generation of the weapon is over, the Alter has the chance to keep that weapon. Therefore, Alters usually carry the weapons around all the time, so that in battle their limited Reiatsu is not unnecessarily depleted. The Alters do have the option of dispersing their weapon, and reabsorbing its energy, thereby increasing their reiatsu level by 20 points.

Name: Spirit Particle Disassociation
Type: Technique
Description: This is an ability that allows an Altered Soul to completely disassociate their spirit particles, essentially dispersing themselves. In this form they can avoid detection and travel vast distances in the blink of an eye. It is far faster than Shunpo or Sonido and is a reliable means of escape to avoid grievous injury or to escape a powerful opponent. In this form they retain their conciousness and are able to reform whenever they wish. However, they must wait a full hour before they are able to perform the technique again, otherwise they will not be able to reform their body again. (To only be used once per battle)
Requirements: Spiritual Arts Skill of 40

Name: White Light
Type: Technique
Description: This is an offensive ability performed by all Ersatz Altered Souls that allows them to generate a large amount of energy in a part of the body to be launched against an opponent in either a laser or, blast-like fashion. It is a fairly straightforward attack, similar to Soukatsui in appearance. It can be charged through a melee attack with their body, their weapon, or released from the weapon itself as a sort of remote-detonation ability.
