KBankai XP
version 0.6.0

by Kyonides Arkanthes

Introduction

This script isn't really about performing a bankai like Bleach skill but to let players watch their heroes transform into another database actor aka hero. No, there is no need to use any common event at all.

Features

It allows you to perform the transformation from human to soul reaper by demanding a soul reaper's pass as an accessory to be equipped by then. Of course, you will need reishi points, not related to special or mana points. Your heroes can gain RP by simply waiting or they can increase their intake by walking around.

By the way, the system should also let your character become a hollow or hueco in Spanish.
Yeah, Hueco Mundo, that should have been Mundo Hueco instead, actually means hollow or void world.
So far hollows only need some reishi to be able to fully transform.

Contrary to any Bleach manga issue or anime episode, this script also provides you with a very simple menu displaying some basic data that will help you learn why your soul reaper transformation has failed or you cannot summon your zanpakto's shikai and bankai stages.

Vital Piece of Information

Keep in mind that you will to create a copy of your soul reaper-able and hollow-fiable actors in the Actors database. First define the wannabe soul reapers and then their soul reaper counterparts, followed by the wannabe hollows and their hollowfied doubles.

# * KBankai XP
#   Scripter : Kyonides Arkanthes
#   v0.6.0 - 2022-01-18

# Requires: FixedArray

# This scriptlet allows you to transform your actors aka heroes into
# soul reapers or hollows. After the conversion they will retain their human
# skills and states but not their weapons nor pieces of armor.

# A soul reaper might be unable to transform if he has been afflicted by some
# negative state. On the other hand, a hollow needs to get a specific state if
# he wants to get emotionally unstable enough as to trigger the transformation.

# If the actor's SP reach 0, he will devolve from his shikai or bankai stage.

# * Script Calls * #

# - Open the Reishi Test Menu Scene
# $scene = KBankai::StatusScene.new

# - Get a Party Member - Prerequisite
# actor = $game_party.actors[Index]

# - Increase or Decrease an Actor's Maximum Spirit Level
# actor.spirit_grow!
# actor.spirit_sink!

# - Reset Actor's Reishi Points - use it if you are an evil game developer!
# actor.reset_reishi

# - Toggle Freezing of the Soul Reaper or Hollow Transformation or
#   the Shikai or Bankai Stage
# actor.convert_disabled = true *or* false
# actor.shikai_disabled = true *or* false
# actor.bankai_disabled = true *or* false

# - Is the actor unable to transform due to lack of spiritual power?
# actor.always_human?

Side Notes

It is kind of experimental even if it already lets you apply the actor's tranformation if a given set of conditions are met in time.

Animated Update

I have come here to let you know that I have improved my script. It has reached version 0.5.0 already and it includes a few additions and bug fixes.

• It displays a convert / transform animation!
  
• It also displays a devolve animation.  Especially important because you will watch it if your hero's SP hits 0.
  
• Prevent the script from converting a soul reaper into a soul reaper again causing a strange error.
  
• Alex aka Aluxes has got a new soul reaper face. - I just edited his neck a little bit.
  
• Cleric Gloria now transforms into Miko Gloria!
  

I know, guys, that last point is quite weird indeed.
Just think about it.  Where else would you be able to find such a character sprite?

New or Old Statuses!?

Since the release of version 0.6.0 soul reapers and hollows, formerly human beings, will keep their preexisting states after their transformation.

Actually wannabe hollows will need to enter a specific state in order to be able to transform. Why? Because hollows are the personification of lost humanity and mental instability right?

Wannabe soul reapers will not be able to convert unless they get rid of an ill status first. Yet, the game developer might disable this feature in the KBankai module.

I'm not too familiar with Bleach but I did play an early RPG Maker Bleach game a while back with animated battlers. It was cool.

Sounds like it this script would work equally as well for a Mortal Kombat RPG featuring Tseng Tsung as one of the playable (anti) heroes. FINISH HIM! *Drains soul and becomes a doppleganger*
