Skill 10 - Bloody Rose Level 2
This skill is basically an enhancement to Zero's gun, Bloody Rose. It allows Zero to summon blood-sucking, sharp thorn vines from his gun and manipulate them to attack, grab, capture and block. The drawback is that Bloody Rose demands his own blood as payment. Thus, when he uses this skill, the thorns tend to drive into his skin and drain much of his blood, causing him to have a similar effect to near-fatal blood loss. As this skill comes with its own drawback, I will not be powercapping it too heavily.
My estimation is that Zero can only take this sort of abuse on his body for 15 minutes or so and then he'll be severely weak and unable to do much. Using the powercap, I'll say that using this skill will be the equivalent of a high-level magic and leave him disoriented and exhausted. He will likely pass out after using it from both blood loss and the cap.
This chapter of the manga shows how this skill operates. As you can see, the vines are both part of Zero and the gun, as they are a combination of the Hunter weapon and his own vampire thorn affinity. This part shows more of the skill's effect on Zero. And this part shows Bloody Rose draining Zero and how VERY DIFFICULT it is to take away Zero's weapon in this state.
All in all, this in an immensely powerful skill that takes a CRITICAL toll on Zero. :'D
Now! Zero can use... this skill in smaller doses, where he doesn't summon as many thorns and such so he will not be AS wiped. But the blood-draining remains in all versions.
Skill 11 - Speed
This means Zero can move faster than normal humans, although going too fast or abusing this will exhaust him and cause migraines due to powercap.
