Head Of The Holy Artifacts Department "Finished"

 When it comes to Holy Artifacts, I would like to say that Rick’s full understanding of them surpasses the criteria of those on an expert level. His mastery is scaled off of his innovation of what already exists in the sense of Holy Artifacts, and the additional practical usage of it. The creation of modern day variants is an excellent complement to their original functions, along with pairing it up with the realistic expectations of the modern-day Quincy. In addition to that, at a teaching standpoint, Rick managed to pick up an apprentice of some kind and pass on at least a bit of his knowledge of Holy Relics towards that person. That part isn’t much about the performance value of the product itself, but it tells a lot about Rick’s character and sheer ability to understand Holy Artifacts if he’s able to condense that information in the simplest way in order to teach others how to retain that information and grow as Quincy. Finally, not only did Rick revise other existing Holy Relics, he started to create his own and introduced some personal ones to the Quincy world in the hopes that it would help.

It starts a bit in "Business As Usual" when Lucas Lightner came to visit Rick and recruit him to join the order. It gave Rick the chance to show off one of his most treasured possessions, a Holy Relic that took the shape of a set of goggles. The goggles themselves gave instructions to the user through reiatsu perception of the things that are scanned with it, standing as something akin to training wheels for spiritual alchemy until it becomes second nature. All the same, they nevertheless find their use through basic construction, as considerably as the potential of replacing and rebuilding damaged housing that occurred through hollow activity. Referable to the fact that the constructs are made of soul synthesized counterparts, it masked the spiritual activity in certain areas if enough of it is present, safeguarding spiritually aware humans and humans in general from being snacks for the hollow race.


After that meeting, "Your Growth Moves With The World" happened. Rick Flew to Berlin to meet the young Queen, Freyleif Jökulsdóttir. After a bit of a chat, Rick was given the title by the Queen as the head of the Holy Artifacts department, opting to spearhead the construction of the Quincy training headquarters to be built with the help of his google Holy Artifact. If successful, it would be hard to sense out the building for enemies if the entire infrastructure was made through the use of spiritual alchemy. The small chat ended when Rick was left to his own devices in the Von Wolfenstein archives, coming across the blueprints for Reishi Heiso, which he ultimately perfected and used in battle much later.


Later picking up Calendrea Hughes as an apprentice, Rick decided to test her by having her manage a hollow situation on her own. However, Rick did give her a bit of assistance by launching her a Seele Schneider to her location. Little did Calendrea know, Rick's handholding was through a custom made remote controlled Seele Schneider, being able to connect to the device and interact with it through long distances with the use of Reiatsu Perception. After Calendrea attacked the foe with the Seele but failed to obliterate it, Rick detonated the Seele in the contour of a spiritual cutting explosion in order to dismember the beast and finish the task. After being roasted a bit from Calendrea, Rick tossed her a pair of goggles of her own in order to make her a slight test of scanning and recreating a wrench. It might seem like a simple case, but it was actually a small tutorial as to how to use the goggles, as well as getting Calendrea used to receive information through the use of reiatsu perception. In the long run, by fully understanding what you scan, it’s a lot easier to recreate without the use of a prior scan in the first place. In a way, Rick made his goggles as a form of training wheels for other Quincy skills, leaving Calendrea to be the first person to try out his unorthodox teaching method. This was taken to the next level in the sense of teaching when Rick revealed the secret of his holy artifact creation style, as well as informing Calendrea of the existence of birthright artifacts. Later on, Rick explained the ins and outs of how a Seele Schneider functions; as well as explained to Calendrea on how to inscribe functions into a holy relic with the use of her spiritual energy as writing material, and the Sütterlinschrift Manuscript.


In two separate occasions, Rick put his tools to good use in a more combat related situation. In a fight with Junko Gekido, Rick’s Reishi Heiso basically saved him from being badly wounded from Junko’s assault, mitigating the damage from Junko’s partial Shikai awakening. In addition to that, this was the first time that Rick used Anhäufer, an advanced Seele Schneider technique. With the amount of spiritual energy that he gathered, the threat to kill the rest of the hollows and launching the empowered Seele in their direction as prompted Junko to exhaust most of her reserves to destroy the tool, leaving Rick free to escape from the winded Shinigami.


The second fight was with Shinsei, being a bit similar in style with the solar powered Shinigami. His Reishi heiso protected Rick from a fatal blow from Shinsei’s Shikai ability, much to his credit as the one who created this form of protection. This was also the second fight that he used Anhaufer, gathering enough Reishi to deal considerable damage by skillfully connecting with his Seele Schneider when he lost it and detonated it near Shinsei.


The last considerable instance was the creation of Heilkammer, a medical chamber that healed Eaon from a near death experience from tussling with Adimus. After effectively saving the life of his friend, the rest and recuperation gave Eaon enough time to do some self-reflection and growth, awakening to a new power. At the very least, the release of Eaon’s new power was strong enough to blow a city block, But Rick’s machine’s function of being able to contain the outbursts of spiritual energy of the patient only condensed the potential damage to the destruction of the machine itself.





Other Information


Eaon's actual awakening thread was a solo, but I did have a cameo and presence in it. I don't know if you need the thread for that as well, since I didn't gain any gp or post in it
