Yukine Nagato

"12 past lives, 12 other versions of myself, locked in the past, I am number 13...The one said to be the child of nemesis"

- Yuki speaking about himself.

Yuki Nagato (長門雪, Nagato Yuki), or better known as "Niles" is a spiritually-aware human living in Cross City. He is known as the thirteenth incarnation of the Shinigami Captain, Seitorō Nisshōkirite. Due to his unique "birth" he is known to have adopted both the title of N as well as the legacy of the fallen warrior.

Human abilities

 * Spiritual Power: Due to his creation, Yuki has a large well of spiritual energy to tap into, however he has not been trained to do so. It is unique however that its feel is completely unlike that of a Quincy, and is closer to that of a Shinigami. Despite his Quincy birth, he retains traces of Seitorō's reiatsu as well as the reiatsu of his other 11 lives. This spiritual pressure is considered to be far more than he should possess and his mother even noted on its composition, saying he isn't natural.
 * Vast Intellect: Due to his uncontrolled Jinki power Yuki is incredibly intelligent, able to recall events and calculations with great accuracy. Even despite his full understanding of his origins, he is able to loosely tap into his own power and use it to store large quantities of visual and audible information an use it to formulate a plan of action. Due to his ability he is the youngest student in the Senior class, having skipped two grades and passed the exams pressed to him. In combat he is able to calculate the amount of time needed to successfully counter attack, however due to his inability to utilize proper Quincy techniques he is unable to properly fight against spiritual threats and is often on the receiving end of a Hollow's Cero. To this effect he is also keen on having an escape plan, including using tools or other items to garner his escape if the need arises. When speaking to his mother, he has noted that he feels different than other Quincy yet he has not discovered the reason as to why which annoys him.

Quincy abilities

 * Spiritual Awareness: Being a Quincy he is able to interact with and  as well as.

Artificial Zanpakutō
For the manifestation of Yuki's ADA, see here. Keyōen (毛陽炎, "Shimmering Hot Air of Hair") is the spiritual entity artificially created by Yuki following his activation of his Jinki Fragment. Created in a slightly different manner than Ishida Ryuichi's own Guardian ADA, this artificial Zanpakutō was given the name "Keyōen" by her father and partner. Keyōen was able to manifest herself due to the usage of Yuki's Jinki and as a result retains some of its power, the end result is a being that is more of a cross between a Spirit Weapon and a Bount Doll than an actual Zanpakutō, however she retains the basics of a Zanpakutō, stating that she indeed has at least a Shikai, however she is not a true Zanpakutō so it is unknown if she can obtain a Bankai. Unlike traditional Zanpakutō, her weapon state is that of a and while she is materialized, Yuki is able to communicate with her using it as she is mute. Shikai: Like a Zanpakutō, Keyōen possesses a Shikai and is released with the phrase "Fan the Embers" (団扇其の灰燼, uchiwa sono kaijin) to which she is able to properly manifest her powers. Her Cellphone appearance does not change after the release, however once released, Yuki's arm becomes slightly transparent and appears to have an electrical charge running through it while he holds on to her. Due to her creation, she has taken a few fragments of Yuki's past and transformed them into faucets of her power. Borrowing the abilities of Seitorō Nisshōkirite, Nisshō Asakura, Jason Palmer and Yue Kawahiru, she was able to create spiritual avatar's for which Yuki is able to channel their powers through. Using this she represented them in the ; Byakko (Jason), Suzaku (Nisshō), Genbu (Seitorō), and Sōryō (Yue).
 * Shikai Special Ability: Tapping into Yuki's Jinki power, Keyōen is able to utilize a skill known as Arishiho (在りし歩, past step), which grants Yuki access to his Jinki without overwhelming the young boy. However due to her also being his Spirit Weapon, she is able to utilize his Heilig Pfeil, which is fired by pressing the 6 key three times, and pointing his phone at his target or by swiping the air with it. Due to her nature she is very resilient able to clash with swords without breaking or shattering. Using her ability she allows Yuki to tape into his past lives, calling with them, the memories, abilities and body adjustments for Yuki to utilize while she is released. She is unique in that she is able to remain in a state of constant release and materialization without taxing Yuki to harshly, as is seen in the fact that Yuki is hardly ever heard uttering her release phrase in combat.


 * Arishiho (在りし歩, past step): Using the power of Keyōen, Yuki is able to tap into his past, gaining the wisdom of his past lives, granting him abilities utilized by them in life. When releasing this energy, his eyes glow and he is covered by a pale blue aura, this is accompanied by his voice which becomes a myriad of all 13 of his lives. Once envoked he has access to centuries of information and abilities that were known to his former lives such as the Hypersonic Screech used by Nisshō Asakura or the barriers formed by Tsukimegami Gaitōyami. These can only be used one at a time and never in tandem as Yuki is still human and cannot handle the tremendous strain of his past selves full power. He is unable to utilize any states higher than Bankai, such as Seitorō's Bankai Stage 2 or Zenkai, or even N's Zenkai as they are too much for his body to handle.

Jinki Fragment
Yuki's Jinki Fragment is named Understanding (粋, iki). It represents the human desire to want to know everything to be known about anything. It was transferred to him by his former life, the previous owner Seitorō and behaves differently for him than it did for Seitorō or even Sayaka. Currently Yuki has no knowledge of his power or his status as a Jinki.

Trivia

 * His name was borrowed from the character of the same name in the Anime/Manga series the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This was done because of the authors favor of said character.
 * In at six of his former lives, he was a member of the three great families who hailed from Asadal. They are as follows; Nisshō Asakura, Atem Asakura, Nisshō Kurosaki, Sū Kurosaki, Nisshō Kawahiru, and Yue Kawahiru.
 * This is my second attempt at a Shinigami/Quincy cross, however I am going about it completely differently than the first.
