Quincy

The Quincy  (滅却師 (クインシー), Kuinshī; lit. "Monk of Destruction") are a group of spiritually aware and spiritually enhanced humans, whose aim is to destroy hollows.

Goal
The Quincy's goal is to eradicate hollows who infest and eat souls in the realm of the living. Their motives may be good, however the consequences are not. Because the Quincys ultimately kill the hollow soul, instead of sending it to Soul Society, the balance of souls between the two places is interrupted. If one has more than the other, it will cause the other realm to spill in and merge, mixing the living and the dead, and ultimately destroying both the real of the living, and Soul Society. The Shinigami, guardians of Soul Society, aim to stop this and have made themselves sworn enemies of the Quincy. An unknown time ago, their leader was killed, and in the disarray they retreated into hiding, where they slowly died off. Now however, there has been a slow increase with the number of Quincy.

Abilities
The Quincy, like any other race, have certain abilities not accessible by others. Some are:
 * Hirenkyaku: A Quincy moving technique. It allows for high-speed movements by riding on the flow of Reishi created below the user's feet.
 * Blut: A Quincy ability that gives one inhuman defensive and offensive capability. By making Reishi flow into their blood vessels they increase their attack and defense power drastically. Blut is significantly dangerous but it has one big flaw, the two forms of Blut for attack and defense work using two different Reishi systems, so they cannot be used at the same time.
 * Gintō: A capsule-shaped tool used by Quincy to store their Reiryoku. It is an antiquated tool, but the use of it allows Quincy to perform certain techniques.
 * Ransōtengai: This is a high-level technique that allows the user to control their body parts using strings of Reiryoku 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.
