[Personality Overview]: (鏡花水月, Kyōka, Shinsuke): Shinsuke is a polite, soft-spoken intellectual, often addressing his subordinates by their given names. He rarely shows any sign of alarm or distress and often has entire situations planned out well in advance. Whenever confronted, Shinsuke is casual and uncaring, attempting to draw out a conversation and make small talk, which often infuriates the one he is talking to.
Shinsuke initially appears to be a very kind, well-respected individual in his faction and is looked up to by many of his subordinates. However, this is just a mask to disguise his manipulative and very dangerous nature. In truth, he cares very little for his underlings (both past and present), and is willing to use almost everyone around him as pawns in his twisted game of chess. In his own words, Shinsuke claims to be unaffected by any form of morals or ethics as he views them as mere restrictions on his potential. He is, therefore, willing to stop at nothing to further his selfish ambitions, including manipulating or killing anyone if he deems it to be necessary.
[Physical Overview]: Shinsuke is regarded as one of the most handsome Humans ever born. Though his looks may captivate many people, it is merely a front to hide his rather sinister nature at heart. He is often adorned in white Uroichi robings and white overcoat with black trimming. Around his waist is a red coloured sash where his sword is tucked in and hiis hair is slicked back and his eyes give off a iridescent hazel glow which is said to be almost hypnotising to the few who have seen him face to face.

Ability Synopsis
○
[Tenkyū] Shinsuke's Zone is known to be one of the most powerful and rarest abilities ever conceived. Tenkyū (【天球】, lit. "Celestial Sphere") is a mysterious sphere or orb which has the ability to break the boundaries between realms. Though it has not been revealed what it's full potential is, Shinsuke states that it's basic abilities involve manipulating energy to a extraordinary degree and augmenting one's own physical abilities. Shinsuke has also been shown to be able to use the Tenkyū to bestow unusual powers to others, create clones of individuals with a single strand of DNA and also forge an entire army for his own need. The true extent of the Tenkyū is unknown and Shinsuke has yet to reveal what it's true ability is.
[Tsukihana]: Tsukihana (月花, Moon flower) is Shinsuke Kyōka's signature weapon which takes the form of a regular katana. The tsuba is decorated in the shape of an octagon and is embellished in green silk along with the hilt. Though Tsukihana appears to be a simple katana, it's special abilities prove that it isn't.. Along with his illusions that this special blade possesses, Shinsuke discovered he was able to harness a unique brand of hypnosis which gave him the ability to control the five senses of any individual through the sword, making him a deadly opponent. From eye contact with the blade or from a wound sustained, the victim will be subjugated by any illusion or hypnosis that Shinsuke decides to place on them. Shinsuke can effectively create decoys of himself and controls the five senses to the point that it can make the target misinterpret another person's form, shape, mass, feel and smell to be that of the enemy. Tsukihana's hypnotic abilities make it a highly useful tool in combat, as Shinsuke can quickly create simple or complex illusions to deceive his opponents. For example, by creating a decoy of himself, or other illusions to distract his opponents, Shinsuke can hide his own movements and attack with impunity. His opponent, meanwhile, will remain focused on the illusion until it's too late to react. The weakness of the Tsukihana is evident in many of it's illusions, bar it's Complete Hypnosis ability. Victims would be able to discern the illusions with enough concentration and escape it's effects with willpower or inflicting harm upon themselves. Tsukihana's Complete Hypnosis is said to be "flawless" as Shinsuke stated. However, it's weakness is in the sword itself and by touching the blade's hilt or tsuba, the hypnosis will shatter and the user will be temporarily unaffected by it's thrall.
[Master Swordsman]: Shinsuke is an almost flawless swordsman, capable of taking on many opponents at the same time and emerging unscathed and victorious. His abilities can be compared to many members of the Gorotsuki and it is said that he is arguably the most skilled human swordsman alive. His abilities with a weapon are so great that he is able to defeat enemies with far greater technology and strength than him with a single blow. Combined with his sword's illusionary capabilities and his raw skill, Shinsuke is truly a deadly opponent to face alone.
[Genius-level Intellect]: Arguably, the most fearsome trait of Shinsuke Kyōka is his tremendous intellect. He is well-versed in the history, strategy, tactics of the world, and is privy to knowledge previously unknown to many. He has also created several beings and even an army alone with the power of his Zone while being able to avoid arousing any suspicion from the majority of his fellow subordinates in the Church. For years, he had also been engaging in experiments that involved unique and highly dangerous manipulations of molecules and the obscure art of spirit particles and energy, including experiments involving the alteration and augmentation of DNA. Even going so far as to create new strains of viruses and lethal poisons. Shinsuke is also master strategist and manipulator. He has shown the ability to create complex, long-term plans centred around his personal goals and also creates secondary plans to attain his objective should his first plan ever fail. His intelligence effectively allows him to deduce his opponents movements and tactics and counter them with ease, often being steps ahead of his enemy before they've even made a move.
