Note: I recommend that you Ctrl-C the above and copy it into your own post so you can modify it at will, then I can delete it and it'll read as you being the first post.

So you rightly noted that your character is a bit behind. Luckily, there are some options for advancement. cotgrpg.proboards78.com/index.cgi....lay&thread=2061 is the Communal Resources thread, where we list what we have. Options relevant for you:

1) Espers. Currently, the team has six: Demeter, Zeromus, Terrato, Bismarck, Ramuh and Ifrit. These give bonuses to stats which will especially useful to you, but more importantly they slowly start to grant spells. The spells are partially connected to your Magic stat, which is one of your weaker Affinities, but it still gives you some options.

2) The Hogyoku. While you are neither a shinigami nor a Hollow, the Hogyoku can still be useful for you if you find some boundary that you need to break down. Cory, for example, used it to break down the barrier between his spiritual and physical forms and his various werewolf forms.

3) Jutsu Hands. Jutsu Hands has a library of ninjutsu memorized as well as written down and in his Jutsu Hands. He's willing to teach those to fellow ninja. He teaches quickly due to the fact that his skill is so high and he can perform hand seals so quickly, so you may be able to pick up a few jutsu from him.

4) The Dragon Brain in a Jar. The Shikome kido Mi that we captured and has every incentive to comply with us has tons of ninjutsu and martial arts skills. He can teach Ninja Arts of Invisibility, katas, body hardening, jutsu, martial arts techniques, negative ki abilities, even Zanjoriki! If there's anything from that sort of class of skills that you'd like, he can teach them.

5) Spending Traits. In this iteration, we've done Traits. They're listed in the rules for CotG, but basically a Negative Trait is anything bad that you have in your background (cut out of inheritance, orphan, epileptic, glasses, allergy, etc.) and a Positive Trait is anything positive about you (Sharingan, genetic advantages, etc.)

6) The elemental items, starting with Ogan Hammer. Those are useful items, and you could probably take a few.

7) Cybernetics or bio-wizardry. You probably won't want extensive cybernetic modification, though if you develop Tech-Ninja skills you'll be able to. But bio-wizardry is an option: Symbiotes, parasites, transmutation, etc. As far as actually granting actual ABILITIES, Elom, Electrones, Talo Mind Worms, Mind Blossom, etc. are good choices. Look at Fred's sheet under Bio-Wizardry for ideas.

8) Elemental spirits. You need to pick an ability from Wisp, i.e. a light or holy based ability, and Luna, i.e. a moon-based ability, from your Ninja skills.

Good. Oh, and Cloud also adds +5% to strike, +5% to parry, +5% to simultaneous strike, and SOLDIER-Enhanced Jumping (jumping enhanced by the Lifestream/magic energy, so it stacks with your ki/tech-based ninja jumping).

[lordgatz]

and 3 Merits of your choice.
-Non-lethal damage
-Rogues slippery mind
-golden heart

ability from Szayel, such as any Hollow abilities, any research or knowledge you'd like from him, his ability to adapt to enemies' attacks, etc.
-Web of Deduction (scientifically plan ahead)

You'll want to spend your two new RBs in Willpower for this plan, bringing it to H Superhuman. Abilities from your Archetypes might be ninja skills or other skills that'd prepare you for this. Get Mind Block from Alter, that's a psychic mind block to defend you. From ninja, something like a meditation to ignore pain and outside influences to avoid being captured, like a self-hypnosis.

From the Shikome kido Mi, get Two Minds. Two Minds is a Zenjoriki that allows you to split into two: Your Hun and your Po, your intellect and your physicality. It's good practice.

2 Merits of choice, 3 abilities from any of their Archetypes
