Parousia

Parousia (/pəˈruːziə/; Greek: παρουσία); a revolution in technology far more advanced than what has been seen previously in the world of Shinobi. Through the help of Yujo and his summon, the two were able to discover a futuristic, nanorobotic virus that could bond with organic matter.

Attempting to use this discovery to his advantage, the king began to utilize something he did not fully understand, resulting in a freak accident during an overload of power beyond comprehension that caused him to bond with the very materials he sought to subjugate.

Once applied to his own cells, the nanobots converted his body into a machine, completely casting out what remained of his humanity, leaving behind a ghost trapped in an artificial shell resembling his original form.

Abilities: With his cells completely altered by the mechanical virus, Ryoji has gained the ability to manipulate each individual nanobot that inhabits his body, like a hive mind with him as its commander. Because if this, he can shift his form much like a Hozuki, allowing physical attacks to pass through harmlessly, yet retaining a certain elemental weakness unique to this transformation.

Through this he can also alter the shape and appearance of the bots, allowing to create weapons wherever he desires, or even change his appearance to match anyone he wishes. This can include the clothes on his back, or his facial features, and everything in between.
