Quincy are spiritually aware human archers Their techniques and terminology are derived from the German language, and they utilize outfits and tools evocative of medieval priests or crusaders. Originally a mixture of survivors of hollow attacks and those who'd lost loved ones to hollows, the Quincy developed a variety of supernatural powers to hunt and kill hollows before they attacked humans (and to destroy those who already had), including the ability to control spiritual energy.
The Quincy's choice of weapon is the famous bow. By using there cross of choice (Doesn't have to be a cross) the Quincy focuses his/her reiastu to that source and forms a solid bow or a bow made entirely of spirit particles. There arrows are composed of entirely of spirit particles drawn from the surrounding area.
Quincy items:
The Quincy possess numerous artifacts and equipment which help them in different ways. Below are the ones that have been shown:
Hollow bait This item is a small, coin-shaped disk that attracts hollows when crushed. requires soldier or higher
Quincy cross: Standard equipment for any Quincy, the Quincy Cross acts as the focus for a Quincy bow. The cross need not necessarily be in a cross shape.
Sanrei glove: The sanrei glove is a powerful Quincy artifact that can increase a Quincy's power exponentially, but requires a dangerous and exhausting type of resistance training (wearing it for a week while constantly firing spiritual arrows) to master. The glove works by scattering the spirit particles in the surrounding area, making it much harder to form a working bow. If a Quincy can summon a bow and use it for the required amount of time, they will have undergone a massive increase in power. When removed, however, the glove will release the user's energy all at once. Only commander of higher have access to sanrei gloves and you need to do 4 weeks of training with the glove (1 training post per week for one month) to access Letz Stile
Seele Schneider: The Seele Schneider is a thin, sword-shaped arrow. It's much longer than a standard arrow and functions something like a chainsaw: the spirit particles of its blade vibrate at ultra-high frequencies, loosening the molecular bonds between any spirit matter it cuts so that the Quincy user may easily absorb the freed spirit particles. quincy general or higher required.
Silver tubes: Silver tubes are small liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by Quincy for spell casting in the same way that shinigami use kidou. Like kidou, they are activated by calling out various commands, but do not require any of the user's energy to activate. all quincy have 4 tubes per rank so a trainee has 4 where as the leader would have 20
Silver tube techniques:
A list of techniques that utilize silver tubes:
Heizen: This technique uses four silver tubes to create a transparent, rectangular beam of energy which slices through the opponent.
Gritz: This technique forms a man-sized pentacle symbol which envelops its target. requires 2 tubes
Wolke This technique uses silver tubes to create a large blast. While it may not be intended for use as such. uses 3 tubes
Sprenger: This technique uses five Seele Schneiders to create a pentagram-shaped seal, which when activated causes a massive explosion within its borders. The Seele Schneiders function as accumulators, gathering the necessary amount of spirit particles to create the explosion. The liquid inside the silver tube acts as the trigger. The preparations for the technique combined with the charging time for the Seele Schneiders make its use in battle impractical unless the user has a partner that can stall to buy time. considered a kill attempt when used, can only be used if one or more person is helping the quincy in the battle. and takes 10 posts to set up.
Skills:
Hirenkyaku: Analogous to the shinigami flash steps or the arrancar sonido, the Quincy hirenkyaku allows the user to move quickly over short distances; according to Uryū Ishida it is faster than flash steps. To perform the technique, the user gathers spiritual particles under their feet and rides them to the desired location. Like the air-walking skill displayed by most arrancar and shinigami, it can also be used to hover or fly for long distances. Allows the quincy to step instantly for 10 yards the range his increased by 1 yard for ever 10 speed the quincy has above the required speed. requires 250 speed
Ransotengai: Ransotengai is a high level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of spirit energy controlled by their brain. By using this technique, the user can control their body as one would a puppet, allowing them to move freely despite paralysis, broken limbs, or any other force that would impede normal movement. It was originally created to allow old Quincy to fight effectively. Requires 250 endurance and 300 reiatsu can only be used one per battle
Letz Stile:By removing the artificial repulsion to spiritual energy that the glove placed on them, the Quincy will experience an abrupt increase in power, along with a change in appearance. While in this form, the Quincy will absorb energy from their surroundings at such an alarming rate that they can actually deconstruct spiritual objects. In such a state, the Quincy is able to fight with extreme strength and speed, and can completely overwhelm an average shinigami captain. However, the final form is a double-edged sword, as no human body is capable of handling the immense power the form comes with. After a short period of use, the Quincy's body will forcibly seal itself off from all spiritual power in self-preservation, effectively robbing the Quincy of their abilities. The final form is only used as a last resort. Letz Stile requires a quincy of commander rank or above with 475 reiatsu and 300 endurance It gives them a boost of 125 to all stats and lasts for 15 posts in the human realm and til the end of the battle in soul society and hueco mundo. After the ability fades the quincy loses access to all powers for 100 posts.
