Sealed Weapon: The sealed weapon of the Jackal is a pair of modified Falcata blades. The blades are black with the tip and edges being silver. They are also both 20 inches long, shorter that your typical Katana, but still enough to get the job done. The blades are at least 4 inches wide in width, the blades almost seem to have no crossguard. This is very common and is quite expected for weapons of this type. The hilt or what Lucius calls the hilt of the weapon, is made up of the same material of your typical hilt. It is of a semi square shape as the end of the hilt actually curves and meets the cross guard. There is also a pair of scabbards that each blade are carried inside of. The scabbards are also black and if one should look closely, there are designs of a pack of animals, most likely jacks on the outside of the scabbards. These jackals also feature of the blades themselves that has a curve or a dip in the belly of the weapon. The blades also seemed to be made for close quarters combat, based on their length, which is mainly an assumption by many.

The bottom of the overcoat also has this grey fur on it too. Lucius wears a pair of trousers that are also black, with what appears to be black man boots.
Weapon: The Jackal carries a shotgun and a deck or cards. The cards are more or less like your general deck of cards, with all the general cards coming into play. These include Jacks, Queens, Aces, Kings etc. The deck of cards are black, with the inside of the cards being white, the number of the cards and so on being a mixture of red and black etc. The cards are generally carried in a case on his hips, that are easily accessible. The shotgun takes the forms of a silver and black sawed off mouth modified weapon. The gun's butt is silver and very sturdy, able to inflict blunt force damage. The stock of the weapon is black and is also made of metal, with the strength of a Zanapakuto. The gun's butt also share the same quality as the stock too.

While the fore stock, for the purpose of its ability to pump is black, with silvers stripes lining the indents of the fore stock's grip. The barrel of the weapon is black, of course sawed off. However the ribs that lies atop of the barrel is silver in color, with the muzzle having no sight, seeing that it is a sawed off mouth shotgun.The shotgun will have its own personal holster, which is kept on The Jackal's back. The Shotgun is an automatic shotgun, which means the Jackal doesn't need to constantly pump it in order to fire off rounds.
Resurrección Ability: El Jugador's Resurrecion grants Lucius the ability to. Create, manipulate, construct, and reconstruct Ice using elemental spiritual pressure. Lucius will however use this Ice, through the use of different variants. The ice can be made to take on a more liquid state, so much so that the ability can be mistaken as water manipulation. However the liquid state will aim to at least freeze whatever it touches. This careful manipulation allows Lucius to switch between the liquid state, and the more solid state. Part of the different variants mentioned, are the use of cards from a deck. Ranging from 1-52 cards that Lucius Cross is able to manipulate according to his will. This manipulation includes expanding the cards for defensive purposes. Controlling the flight of the cards for offense, while using their peculiar ability to spontaneously explode. The aforementioned explosion, mainly focuses on freezing over the target, while sending sharp and power ice shards flying.
In addition to the cards that he uses, there is also a modified shotgun involved. In which he is able to use the ice created, to perform certain tricks. The cards can be replenished after being used to spontaneously explode. The explosions that the cards create can be quite powerful at times. The shotgun can be used to fire off powerful ice beams etc.
Techniques:
Name: Veintiún- Black Jack/ Twenty one
Level: Ressureccion
Description: Black Jack as the name states is loosely based on a gamblers game. The attack itself comes in two variants, through the use of the cards, or by firing off rounds from the shotgun that Lucius carries. Whenever the cards are used to initiate this technique, Lucius will send a total of 21 cards from his deck flying at the opponent(s). He is of course able to control the flight of the cards, which their main purpose being to spontaneously explode on the Jackal's whim. In terms of using a the Shotgun, the Jackal will unload 21 rounds in one burst. These rounds ice beams, about half the size of your general Cero blast. Their main purpose like the cards are to explode on the Jackals whim, freezing over there target. The ice beams are used essentially for the same thing. And are able to clash with other techniques such as Ceros and the likes. Each individual card by themselves will generally freeze over smaller portions. As such its best to use an accumulation of cards in order to maximize their effects.
