::Ryuken's Hidden Training Room::
This room was created by Ryuken Ishida as a training room, underneath the Karakura Hospital which he runs. Created with Soul-Synthesized Silver and Soul-Synthesized Glass, this is where Ryuken trained Uryu to regain his Quincy powers. This special room is where Quincy come for intense training to improve themselves and increase the limits of their Quincy Crosses.
:Explanation:
This is where Quincy can come and train to upgrade their Reishi bows. Each tier has their own requirements and each bow within the tiers has its own special ability. To get the bows, you need to meet the requirements for that Tier (EG: Tier 1 requires a Reiastu of 50). Afterwards, you need to role-play here for the number of posts listed for that Tier. Afterwards, do like any other skill and post in the Update Reports, linking this topic as your training, and the Quincy Cross will be updated.
:Changing of Crosses:
A Quincy will retain any Cross that they learn in their inventory; and a cross must be selected at the start of battle. Once chosen, the user must wait three gaia posts before switching from one Cross to another. Like weapons; the separate crosses have their own boosts and detriments.
:Upgrading Classes:
Since upgrading your class to Final Form mean you lose stat points, you need only to have at least 1/2 the Reiatsu required for Tiers 1 and 2 to use those crosses.
Master Form Quincy have the same requirements as is already listed.
...Default Cross....
Catholic Cross [default]: No special bonuses
A standard cross used by the Quincy. This has decent speed and accuracy. Although it doesn't have any outstanding strengths, it is easy to use and master.

..::Tier 1 Bows::..
Requirement = Reiatsu of 50
Required Posts: 500 words to gain a bow. (500 words per level; Max at level 25)
Lapis Cross: +14 Spirit Power, +6 Speed/Level of Cross
This was used by Quincy who were a little farther from battle. Using the accuracy of their shots rather than their speed, usually taking positions high in trees to have a better view of their surroundings.
Tau Cross: +14 Stamina, +6 Speed/Level of Cross
The Quincy that use this cross usually have a great deal of endurance, able to fire arrows for long periods of time. These Quincy would usually help keep an enemy at bay if others needed to retreat or recover.
Celtic Cross: +4 Spirit Power, +16 Speed/Level of Cross
Quincy that used this cross were usually the ones sent to attack the enemy first. Although it has good strength, its endurance is lacking, causing Quincy to attack, hitting hard, then retreating temporarily to recover.
Speed Cross: +20 Speed/Level of Cross
This cross was designed with more speed than the other crosses, but at a drawback of accuracy.

..::Tier 2 Bows::..
Requirement = Reiatsu of 100 and Spirit Power of 50
Required Posts: 1500 words to gain a bow. (2000 words per level; Maxes at Level 25)
Pentacle: +30 Spirit Power, +10 Speed/Level of Cross, Explosive Arrows
Thought of being created by the "devil", this Quincy Cross harnesses a great deal of power, at the cost of accuracy. These arrows have so much power to them, that they explode on impact.
(A small explosion of about foot wide.)
Crosslet: +35 Speed, +5 Spirit Power/Level of Cross, Multi Shot
A special Quincy Cross, made by Quincy with great control of his arrows. Able to take concentrate the spirit particles, this bow can fire off multiple arrows at once, without gathering any extra energy. This, however, comes at the increased cost of 3 SP instead of the normal arrow cost. [2 to 3 normal arrows fired; generated by random number. Arrows are 25% less in Power when fired in this manner]
Star of David: +25 Spirit Power, +15 Speed/Level of Cross, Homing Arrow
This cross was created by a very skilled Quincy, seemingly able to hit target from great distances away. Her secret, however, was that the arrows fired from this bow could home in to the enemies. Although, to be able to guide the arrow, the Quincy must have complete concentration. Therefore, it is not possible to move or defend while controlling the arrow, unless control of the arrow is to be lost.
(When you fire an arrow, you can guide it as long as you don't move or defend. If you move, or get hit, the arrow will just keep flying straight and you loose control of it.)
Patriarchal Cross +10 Defense, +10 Stamina, +10 Spirit Power, +10 Speed/Level of Cross
This cross was specifically designed to be used against large groups of enemies. Having a good firing rate and good power, it lacks in endurance and accuracy, making it best in either close quarters or against a large group of enemies.
(Essentially, it's a Quincy Bow version of a machine gun.)
Shield Cross:+30 Defense, +10 Stamina/Level of Cross, Spirit Shield
This cross was made with the special ability of gathering spirit particles into a shield. Although the user is unable to fire arrows while using the shield, it can stop/deflect attacks. Shield is broken is if a physical attacking oponent has a higher Strength and you have SP. It's also broken if a user using a spirit attack (another Quincy, Shinigami's destructive art, Shinobi art, etc) has a higher SP than you do. Once the shield is deactivated, the user cannot fire an arrow until their next Gaia post. It costs 10 SP per Gaia post to maintain.

..::Tier 3 Bows::..
Requirement = Reiatsu of 300; Spirit Power of 100
Required Posts: 2500 words to gain a bow. (2000 words per level; Maxes at level 25.)
Pentacle Cross: +50 Spirit Power, +30 Speed/Level of Cross, Explosive Arrows, Multi Shot
This cross focuses a huge amount of power into each arrows, making them explode on contact. The added power also allows the user to fire multiple arrows at once, although all this power severely reduces the endurance, making the number or arrows that can be fired lower than normal.
[2 to 3 normal arrows fired; generated by random number. Arrows are 25% less in Power when fired in this manner, Explosions are in 1ft. Radius per arrow.]
War Cross: +20 Stamina, +20 Defense, +20 Spirit Power, +20 Speed/Level of Cross, Backfire
The creator of this cross tried everything he could to make the bow perfect. Although, as far as its abilities, this bow is almost perfect, it does have a drawback. The bow will randomly backfire, or will randomly have a huge drop in power and accuracy. Although this happens rarely, the chance of it doing so is still present.
(Each post you must roll a 100 sided dice. IF you get something between 1 to 5, the bow fires off an arrow at half power. IF you get anything between 95 to 100, the bow overclocks and increases the attack power of the ability fired by x2, but makes the ability cost +20 extra. ANYTHING between 6 and 94, arrow fires as normal.)
Shadow Cross: +65 Spirit Power, +15 Speed/Level of Cross, Spirit Detection
This Quincy Cross was specifically designed for Quincy that prefer to hide in the shadows. The Quincy that designed this cross, was a master at stealth and accuracy. Hiding in the shadows and attacking only when the moment was right, he had actually succeeded in making the bow black, to be able to hide better. With his ability to detect Reiatsu better than most Quincy, he put this ability in the Cross. Instead of an arrow, the bow can fire a wave of Spirit Particles that can only be seen by other Quincy. This wave travels in all directions at once and bounce back when it finds someone with a decent sized Reiatsu. The only downside is that using this ability, one has to raise their own reiatsu, indicating to others that there's someone nearby.
(It's like a high powered Sniper Rifle, that has a radar on it, kind of. When using the ability, you can detect the general direction, not exact location, of anyone with a Reiatsu over 40 [Unless their highest stat is higher than your Spirit Power x2; or they are using a Level 750+ Stealth Custom which overrides this and uses it's own rulings.]. Also, when using the ability, it raises your own Reiatsu, making it easier for others to know that you're nearby. IE: Your own Stealth customs while using this effect are 15% less Effective)

..:: Cross Techniques ::..
Dual Cross Training: 600 words (REQ: 150 Spirit Power; Bowstring Bypass)
A quincy that has trained extensively and that has mastered himself with a Quincy Cross can learn to harness the power of another simultaneously. The Quincy is able to wield two different Crosses at the same time, using Bowstring Bypass. Although it takes a long time for a Quincy to be able to master this technique, it is well worth it in the end.
*NOTE* A Quincy cannot implement this technique properly until learning Bowstring Bypass.
Dual Cross Mastery: 1200 words (REQ: 250 Spirit Power; Dual Cross Training)
This is a skill only masterful Quincy can learn. Using the Dual Cross Training, the Quincy can concentrate the spirit particles and channel them through two Crosses before forming their Bow. Enabling them to combine the powers of both bows into one. It costs a Quincy 10 SP per post when using a Dual Crossed Bow. [A Quincy could use two Dual Cross Mastery bows, but it'd cost 20 SP per post]
*NOTE* You cannot combine the same crosses to gain bigger effects. [IE: No combining Two War Crosses]
EXAMPLE 1: Tin combines a bow with +25 Speed and -10 Spirit Power with a bow that has +10 Endurance and -10 Spirit Power. His new bow becomes +25 Speed, +10 Endurance and -20 SpiritPower.
EXAMPLE 2: Tin combines a bow with Homing Shots to a bow that has Multi Shot. His new bow now fires multiple arrows and home in on the enemy. (conditions for each ability must still be followed. The Homing Shot requires the person not to move, attack again or be attacked. Even if you combine it with another bow, you must still follow this.)
EXAMPLE 3: Tin combines a bow that fires 3 arrows at once with a bow that fires 5 arrows at once. His new bow will fire 8 arrows at once. (If the two bows have the same ability, they are ADDED to each other, not MULTIPLIED. Instead of the bow firing 3 arrows that than each split into 5 arrows, making 15, the bow fires one arrow that splits into 8 arrows.)
