|_Quincy Rules and Restrictions_|
• New members of the Quincy can start out as a Human that with the innate ability to manipulate the spiritual pressure around them or they can start out as someone related to the Ishida bloodline. This is simply your choice.
• The Quincy Bejahrt or anyone the Bejahrt thinks that is 'qualified' will teach you how to form the first version of your bow... Which, initially, isn't going to be all complex. The likely scenario of your initial bow would be an unstable reishi bow that can fire simple arrows of reishi.
• As you all might know, Quincy have a range of accessories and techniques that you will need to master, as a Quincy, to rise up through the ranks. >.< So, good luck with that. XD
_A List of Quincy Abilities, Weapons, and Accessories_/
• Hollow Bait: This item is a small, coin-shaped disk that attracts hollows when crushed.
• Quincy Bangle: (装身具, sōshingu) — The Quincy Bangle is an artifact designed to mimic a Quincy's natural powers. It works by drawing in spirit particles from the environment, much like a Quincy does regularly. It can only be used properly by those who are already adept at forming and directing spirit particles. When activated, it forms a metal bow on the user's hand and gives them an appropriate Quincy outfit to match. The bangle is an unstable and delicate device, which eventually falls apart with extended use. The bow it creates has a huge drawback in that spirit particles must be gathered and charged to be of any use; doing otherwise greatly weakens the power of the resultant projectiles. The arrows also seem to fire erratically, sometimes curving away from their intended target. Furthermore, if shot at the time when the device is at its maximum power, it could explode, killing the user and destroying anything else nearby.
• Quincy Cross: (滅却十字, mekkyaku jūji) — 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, as Ryūken's cross is a pentacle.
• Sanrei Glove: (散霊手套, sanrei shutō) — 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 - first transforming them into a being of tremendous strength, and then forcing their Quincy powers to gutter out completely.
• Seele Schneider: (魂を切り裂くもの（ゼーレシュナイダー）, German for "soul cutter") — The Seele Schneider is a thin sword that can be fired similarly to an 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.
• Silver tubes: (銀筒, gintō) — Silver tubes are small liquid-filled capsules that store spiritual energy, and are used by Quincy for spellcasting in the same way that Shinigami use kidō.
• Soul-synthesized silver: (霊化銀, reika gin) — Soul-synthesized silver was used by Ryūken Ishida to construct the hidden chamber in which Uryū trains.
• Soul-synthesized glass: (霊化硝子, reika gurasu) — Like soul-synthesized silver, soul-synthesized glass was used to construct the hidden chamber in the Karakura Hospital.
_Gintou Techniques_/
• Heizen: (聖噬, haizen; German for "heat") — This technique creates a transparent, rectangular beam of energy from silver tubes which slices through the opponent. It is activated by the command "Feel the wrath of battle and accept this sacred chalice - Sacred Bite!" (大気の戦陣を杯に受けよ)
• Gritz: (五架縛, gurittsu) — This technique forms a man-sized pentacle symbol which envelops its target. It is activated by the command "A silver rod strikes the five-fingered stone bed - Quintuple Restraining Frames!" (銀鞭下りて五手石床に堕つ)
• Volcore: (緑杯, vorukōru; German for "cloud") — This technique uses a silver tube to create a large blast. While it may not be intended for use as such, Uryū uses it to cushion the impact of a fall. It is activated by the command "Tilt the goblet to the west - Emerald Grail!" (盃よ西方に傾け)
•Sprenger: (破芒陣, supurengeru; German for "explosion") — 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 a 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.
_Special Quincy Techniques_/
•Hirenkyaku: (飛廉脚; lit. "flying screen step/god step") — Analogous to the Shinigami flash steps or the Arrancar sonido, the Quincy Hirenkyaku allows the user to move quickly over short distances. 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.
•Ransōtengai: (乱装天傀; lit. "heavenly wild puppet suit", "disheveled paradise puppet" in the Viz translation) — Ransōtengai 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.

TheWickedTruth
Unranked Quincy: A human related to the Ishida family with an innate ability to manipulate the reishi around them and carries a Mekkyaku Juuji (Quincy Cross).
C ranked Quincy: A Quincy that has been trained to form and use a rudimentary bow. They are able to fire multiple arrows in battle and may use Hollow Bait at anytime.
B ranked Quincy: A Quincy that has begun training with and is able to use Sanrei Shutou (Sanrei Glove) and bow. They may also be trained to use Ransōtengai at anytime. They may also be trained to learn how to shoot arrows of one single element (Fire, Water, Electricity, Wind or Earth). Before they can be promoted to A rank, the Quincy must first remove the glove in battle, and subsequently lose their powers.
A ranked Quincy: Must carry and train with a Soushingu (Quincy Bangle) even with its erratic behavior. Also the Quincy may train and learn to use Hirenkyaku.
S Ranked Quincy: Instead of using a Soushingu, the Quincy may now learn to use Ginkou (Silver tubes). They are allowed to use Heizen, Gritz and Volcore with Ginkou. After learning these techniques, the Quincy may go through dangerous training with the Bejahrt to regain their Quincy powers. After reviving their powers the Quincy may train to use Seele Schneider and its Ginkou attack Sprenger.
Master Quincy - Bejahrt: Only the Bejahrt may hold this position and has completely mastered every aspect of what it is to be a Quincy. The Bejahrt is the only member who may use Reika Gin and Reika Gurasu.
