Cyclones
CharacterCyclones is a wind-driven ability that Dordoni Alessandro Del Socaccio brings to bear while released into his Resurrección, Giralda. Twin whirlwinds vent from his armored legs, holding him aloft in midair while doubling as long-range weapons against his foe.
Appearance
With Giralda active, a pair of massive whirlwinds roars out of exhaust ports set into the plating over Dordoni's legs. From each spinning column juts a bird-shaped extension, lending the twin storms a distinctly winged silhouette.
Personality
The ability trades toughness for persistence. Those winged projections are far from sturdy and can be lopped clean off, yet losing them costs Dordoni nothing, since the cyclones simply grow the limbs back no matter how thoroughly they are wrecked.

Abilities
The whirlwinds put out enough force to keep Dordoni suspended above the ground, granting him free aerial movement while he fights. The bird-like extensions stretch his reach, letting him deliver blows from a distance. During his clash with Ichigo Kurosaki, both Getsuga Tenshō and Tensa Zangetsu managed to cut these projections apart, but their frailty barely mattered against a technique able to regenerate them endlessly.
