"Planeswalker Awakenings: Kurosaki Ichigo Awakens"

     In a different plane , a different time  ,a spark awakens and  a new planeswalker is born.....

     Kurosaki Ichigo was used to passing through different portals to go to different parts of both the Spiritual and Physical world. From the Massive Gargantuas to the Reikyu Gates that the Shinigami's use Ichigo has seen them all so it was to his surprise when this new portal opened before him and he saw  a world that he had not seen before. He stepped through and found a world who's energy was far from his own understanding with beings who were made up of something else other than the reiatsu that he was used to. Even the air felt different. This was a place where Flesh and Machine merged into one and the spirits that he was used to were gone. There are no mere spirits here. They are all an amalgamation of the organic and non-organic. He coated himself with the energies that he knew from his world. He didn't like the looks of this place but there was something here that was beckoning him to explore.



     Kurosaki Ichigo is a true hybrid of all the known powers from Bleach. He is part Shingami from his father. Part Quincy from his mother. He has mastered both Vaizard( Masked soldiers , a hybrid of Hollow and Shinigami) and Hollow (massive energy monster) forms. Now if we would look at it the most refined of these are the Shinigami and Quincy powers. The Shinigami powers could be counted as Red, White and Green . There is control , it comes from nature , and well even in a spiritual world there is order to how this energy flows. The Quincy powers are more blue , white and green. There is even more finesse with how the Quincies control their energies and this finesse comes at the cost of lesser fire power (at first). The Vaizard and Hollow Energies are different in a sense because while both have Black , Vaizards are more Blue , Black and Red while the Hollow Energies are more Jund  , they are Black , Red and Green.



     Since Ichigo has all of these energies and even most of the traits , Ichigo will be a 5 colored planeswalker. He will be all encompassing when it comes to mana though he might be more inclined to the Black and Red zones when he is in full form he will nonetheless exhibit unknowingly the other powers that he already has. It happened when he was fighting the head Quincy in the current story arc so it is normal to assume that his body will only react with the correct energies once he goes into battle.



     Kurosaki Ichigo has met the Biomechanical defenders of this plane. He found them laughable but they have tried to splash him with a black slick oil or inject him with it. One was able to stab him with it but he knew that with his body he would just be able to reject it. For an instant he suddenly though of what Mayuri of the 10th Division would think of this place. He should get Kyouraku to assign him here soon , he seems to be a sure fit with these biomechanical monstrosities. Ichigo laughed at the thought , Mayuri could get lost here for years merely studying these unusual monsters. Nonetheless this plane intrigued him and he was still unsure of the voices he was hearing in his mind. He has to find the answer in the deeper levels of this plane.

Writers Note:
Planeswalker Awakenings is like a "what if" series...where we try to put a character from a Book , TV series or movie into the context of a planeswalker from Magic:The Gathering.
