Forgive the use of google translate, but here goes:

Kudake megami-(Shattered Goddess)

Shikai: (Fracture) Kudake megami appears as a black sabre, looking as if it is made from reflective obsidian with a shatter pattern of silver across its blade. It has a blade around 80 cm long with a crescent curve and a bronze finger guard. The hilt is short and only meant for use with one hand, with a balanced pommel in the shape of a cracked sphere. What makes Kudake Megami unique is how emotional she is. This affects how the wielder fights and how the blade functions.

Kudake megami’s main ability is reliant on her brittle nature. Whether it be from a solid strike or even a command Kudake megami will break into shards of black glass like substance which can be controlled by the user. These shards can be any size, from hand size to the size of grains of sand. Attacks like these are designed to lacerate, injure and cripple but not kill. This is the nature of Kudake megami, as her heart is not cold enough to kill.

Shatter:  Kudake Megami shatters into a number of fragments and flows about the user obeying the hilt of the blade and the mind of the wielder. This leads into all other abilities.

False blade: Kudake megami assumes the vague shape of a sword despite being in many pieces meaning the reach of the user is extended and the attack is much harder to block. Although this fractured attack is faster and tough to counter the cutting power is greatly reduced.

Reflect Deceit: Kudake megami creates a false image using the reflections from her many shattered shards. If she has been reduced to dust then an image may be made from it. An ability following from this is Deflect: A defensive ability allowing the user to parry a stronger attack instantly by forming a complete smooth mirror made of dust.

Will of Dust: When Kudake megami is reduced to dust she defends the wielder without the need for him/her to respond and at the users command will even strike back in abrasive waves of black sand. Within this there are a few other abilities.

Thorns: The dust takes the shape of several sharp, jagged edges which then piece the opponent. Claws: A projected slash of black dust with great abrasive power, strong enough to wear through stone in seconds. Black Moon: She spreads her ash around the wielder in a perfect circle then whips up into a destructive typhoon to weather the opponent down. Infusion Pacify: Kudake megami forces her particles, small or large, into the opponent’s body and refuses to allow the body any movement or forces them to kneel.

Bankai: Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha (Shattered Goddess, Lunar reflections)

In her Bankai, Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha gives up her form as a sword and becomes instead a whole dimension enclosing exclusively the wielder and the opponent/opponents. The ground is made entirely out a of a dark dust with hardly any light and sculptures of her own form in various states of distress made of the same black glass that her blade was made of. Kudake Megami is as much a story as a character, the story of a heart broken goddess who fell in love with the Sun, and is doomed to pursue him forever but never meet him. Her name refers to her reflecting on the emotions associated with her torment and converting those into spiritual attacks. Before anything special Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha’s passive ability is manipulation of all the sand in crushing sombre waves and creating reflective illusions, to distract and show her opponent the pain she feels.

Shinzo o Toru Daga: (Dagger to the heart) The dust forms into many blades that rain down on the opponent, reflecting the pain one feels when rejected by the one we love.

Uso no Kammen: (Mask of Lies) Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha forms a protective armour around the wielder like black glass. It is solid and unyielding but once it’s broken, it is shattered and cannot be repaired.

Yokusei Suru: (Repress) The opponent is encased and trapped by the dust the either fights to keep him away from the wielder or cage them in solid black bars.

Sakerarenai Ikari: (Inevitable rage) The otherwise soft dust becomes hard and solid, and the wielder can use her rage to form weapons to attack the opponent. There are no defensive moves in this state, a pure offence designed to just destroy the perpetrator.

Amaterasu No Wasure Shinsen: (Forgotten gaze of Amaterasu) This is Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha’s final attack, and an absolute last resort due the incredible emotional torture she must endure. The wielder and zanpakuto must agree to use it before it can go ahead. A black orb appears overhead haloed by a bright white light as if in an eclipse. The black circle then cracks across like a mirror letting a sliver of intense white light burn through onto the opponent. It is an intense blast of pure solar energy, a representation of all the pain that Kudake Megami Getsumen no Hansha has endured over her whole life. As the attack goes ahead, the bankai is destroyed by its sheer power and we hear her screams of anguish as she relives all the pain she’s been through. After this she returns to her sealed state, and cannot be awoken again until she has recovered. Often this takes some communication between herself and the wielder.
