“ | Fear can be overcome through experience. Those who know battle often come to believe this. 'Fear that comes from reason' is kind. It can be conquered through force of will or through experience. It is possible to suppress such reasoned fear by severing it at its source. But true fear is without reason. It is not an emotion, but an instinct. True fear occurs without reason, without bounds. It is like a swarm of insects crawling up the body. We cannot escape from our instincts. | „ |

Name: Äs Nödt

Age: Unknown
Classification: Quincy, Sternritter
Powers and Abilities:
- Soul Physiology & Quincy Physiology (Soul: High-Tier/Quincy: Sternritter-Tier)
- Adept Archery
- Expert Spike User & Expert Hand to Hand Combatant (Äs Nödt is a highly skilled member of the Sternritter who is skilled to fight with experienced Shinigami captains such as Byakuya[1])
- The Fear:
- Passive & Enhanced Fear Manipulation (3 Layer), Perception Manipulation & Limited Death Manipulation (Äs Nödt's "The Fear" can induce a strong sense of fear, even at an instinctive level. The Fear creates true and causeless fear in his opponent. The Fear can manipulate fear on such a level that it causes his victim to die, Hallucinations resulting from Äs Nödt's fear distort his victims' perceptions. While fighting Nödt, Byakuya lost many of his battle senses, but this effect can be negated through sheer willpower alone[2])
- Weapon Control & Danmaku (Äs Nödt can create and control Reishi spikes[3], He can telepathically control these spikes to attack his enemies[4] or combine them to attack a singular enemy[5])
- Vollständig:
- Creation & Biological Manipulation (Äs Nödt can create enclosed walls of eyes that induce "The Fear" onto others[6])

- Large Size (Type 1 with Vollständig Transformation - Became larger than buildings[8])
- Limited Paralysis Inducement (Rukia's legs were paralyzed as a result of Äs Nödt's Vollständig transferring fear to the body through the nerves[9])
- Healing (Low-Mid; Äs Nödt can regenerate the deep shoulder wound he received in his base form during his Vollständing transformation.[10])
Resistance to:
- Absolute Zero (Able to resist the Absolute Zero effects of Rukia Kuchiki's Shikai)
- Paralysis Inducement (Ranso Tengai allows Quincy to freely manipulate their bodies using spirit energy if their bodies would be inflicted with great physical harm or paralysis)
Limited Resistance to:
- Limited Barrier Creation
- Enhanced Weapon Control & Speed Amplification (Byakuya's Bankai is activated by dropping his entire sword into the ground, then creating multiple rows of blades that split apart into small "petals" of blades like the Shikai[12]. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi increases the number of blades to 100 million[13]. Byakuya's Bankai is essentially an enhanced version of his Shikai, which means he can use the same offensive and defensive maneuvers from Shikai, but on a more powerful level. This includes swarming an opponent with several blades at once[14]. Äs Nödt can choose to control the blades telekinetically or through the use of his hands, which doubles their speed[15]. Äs Nödt can gather groups of blades together in order to block[16] attacks[17])
Attack Potency: At least Multi-Continent level (Äs Nödt harms Byakuya Kuchiki, eventually overwhelming him with The Fear[18][Statistics Values 1]), higher with Blut Arterie (Blut provides a Bankai level increase[19], which is 5x, and Blut Arterie amplifies attack power[20][Statistics Values 2]), at least Multi-Continent level with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Äs Nödt rips apart Byakuya after inflicting him with The Fear[21], and he bloodies Renji[22][Statistics Values 3]), at least Multi-Continent level with Vollständig (Stronger than his base from[Statistics Values 4]), higher with Vollständig and Blut Arterie (Multiplies his Attack Potency by 5x[Statistics Values 5]), at least Multi-Continent level (All Sternritter can use Sklaverei to enhance their Vollständig, and since Vollständig is superior to Letz Stile[23], it's ability to amplify one's power via reishi subjugation would be superior to Letz Stile which can amplify one's power 3x[24][Statistics Values 6]), Moon level with Sklaverei and Blut Arterie (5x more powerful[Statistics Values 7])
Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic (Kept up with Byakuya Kuchiki[25])
Lifting Strength: At least Class M (Stronger than Byakuya[26]), Class G with Senbonzakura, at least Class M with Vollständig (Stronger than before)
Striking Strength: At least Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he seemingly physically injures Byakuya and punches a hole through Byakuya before firing a reishi spike once Byakuya is overwhelmed with The Fear), higher with Blut Arterie (Is 5x stronger with Blut Arterie), at least Multi-Continent level with Vollständig (Stronger than his base), higher with Vollständig and Blut Arterie (Multiplies his strength by 5x)
Durability: At least Multi-Continent level (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand the force of his own strikes[Statistics Values 8]), higher with Blut Vene (Blut Vene is a Bankai level durability increase, Äs Nödt's casual Blut Vene no-sells Renji's attack[27], and his serious Blut Vene no-sells Byakuya's attack to his eye[28][Statistics Values 9]), at least Multi-Continent level with Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Should be comparable to Byakuya's durability with Bankai[Statistics Values 10]), at least Multi-Continent level with Vollständig (More durable than his base[Statistics Values 11]), higher with Vollständig and Blut Vene (Amplifies his durability 5x[Statistics Values 12])
Stamina: Superhuman, able to battle competitively for an extended period of time and keep going while sustaining heavy wounds.
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, Hundreds of Meters with The Fear and Reishi Thorns
Standard Equipment: Medallion
Intelligence: Gifted in combat
Weaknesses: Blut Vene and Blut Arterie use two different Reishi systems, so they cannot be used at the same time. With high levels of willpower an opponent can be capable of overcoming The Fear. Also, it has no effect on those who have bodies that are in a deathly state. This coincides that only those with "living" bodies meeting the standard requirement of the term are capable of being immune. When using medallion, its user need to be sufficient powerful to wield it and the power stolen by medallion is weaker than the original unless the Quincy in question takes the time and effort to master it. Quincy are unable to activate their Vollständig after they stole power with medallion.

The Fear (恐怖 Za Fiā ): Äs Nödt's Schrift which allows him to instill fear in others through his Heilig Pfeil, which are shaped like thorns. It searches through the memories of the subject to find any trace of fear they may have ever had in their life to act upon it, so even if they currently have no fear, if their past does they will be affected, although Äs further states that fear that has a cause is weak and can be stopped by experience, but true fear has no cause and therefore cannot be stopped with experience alone. From there, everything the target does from then on will be hindered by their own thoughts and fear of actions. It's potent enough to kill targets just out of fear. The fear is applied to it's target by contact thus wounding the opponent is not needed and it's capable of bypassing objects to reach it's target.

Note: Quincy cannot use their stolen Bankai in conjunction with their Vollständig and vice versa
