Concentrated Breathing Style Elemental Breathing Style was created by the first Disciples of Shoki. The style was created in order to combat Yokai that wandered the earth causing destruction, along with Jinchūriki being used as weapons to wage war. Historically, it has been best used with swords such as Katana’s to help prevent opponents from accessing their stamina and chakra. Effects: The user may learn and perform Concentrated Breathing Style Taijutsu Weapon techniques and may generate ‘Breath Charges.’ Twice per battle, the user may spend four (4) Breath Charges to add the following effect to the first strike of any Concentrated Breathing Style technique they perform: "For one turn after being hit by this attack, the target may not pay any X costs. X is equal to a tank stat selected by the user when this attack is performed. If the target cannot pay upkeep costs due to this effect, the relevant abilities are deactivated." The user may spend x ‘Concentrated Breathing Style’ charges when performing a Concentrated Breathing Style Technique to add the following effect to their next strike: “For one turn after being hit by this attack, the target has all of their regeneration cut by 3x%, where x is the number of charges spent. If the cut to regeneration exceeds zero regeneration, the target takes the difference in Chakra and Stamina damage” Requirement: Disciples of Shoki Cost: -2 Organization: Disciples of Shoki

Disciples of Shoki The hunting of yokai is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it for those who feel bound by such trivial doctrines as law or national borders. Region: Worldwide Base of Operation: Anbaenkai Outskirts (Hi no Kuni) Status: Active; Unrecognized By The Major Villages Organizational Goals: Eradicate All Yokai Organization Entry: Successfully pass the Disciples of Shoki admission exam or receive an invitation by one of the Legendary Disciples. Invitees may be subject to testing as they increase their rank within the Disciples of Shoki. Organization History: It is unknown how long the Disciples of Shoki have been working towards eradicating Yokai and Jinchuuriki. However, legends state that the Disciples of Shoki originated after an individual named Shoki lost his family due to a Yokai attack. After the death of their family, Shoki dedicated his life to studying Yokai. Learning their strengths and weaknesses. While training his mind, he also trained his body in the hopes of killing the Yokai that killed his family. After years of studying and training, Shoki created his own Kenjutsu. One that would allow him to fight and destroy Yokai. Additionally, Shoki learned a special form of breathing which he coined as ‘Total Concentration Breathing.’ His new form of breathing would allow him to increase the flow of oxygen within his bloodstream, allowing him to match a Yokai’s strength and speed. After years of training, he was ready to track down and kill the Yokai that killed his family. Following his difficult fight with the Yokai, he emerged victorious. After his fight, Shoki realized other Yokai still roamed the earth, and he knew he would not be able to fight and kill every Yokai on his own. Shoki then decided to take on Disciples. Each Disciple was taught Shoki’s new way of fighting so they too could protect innocent lives. Ever since, Shoki’s skills have been passed down to every generation of Disciples in the hopes that one day the Disciples of Shoki will eventually remove Yokai and Jinchuuriki from the planet.

This is a remake of this bloodline. Here is the element and permission to resub the bloodline. Now for the math/reasoning Activation/Upkeep Costs: I looked into other various Advanced Systems. From what I saw, it was common to have a 5% Activation/Upkeep for systems that provide up to 1440 stats. This one only provides 600 total Evasion at level 120, so I thought 5% for each might be a good start. Additionally, this AS has skills that require the use of additional chakra, so you end up likely spending more than that percentage over time. I also saw others that were a 10% Activation/5% Upkeep, so I’m happy to up it as well if I need to. Flight of the Shikigami: Evasion caps out at 600 Evasion at level 120. This is on par with other AS’s with 1SP per rank. Since it only provides about 50% of the stat bonuses that other AS’s do. Regarding the terrain, per the rules on becoming immune to terrain, I think it was 1 SP per 100 CP. The highest costing terrain is 340, so I rounded up to 4 SP. Insight of the Shikigami: Assuming a PC has 2000 Evasion at 120, that’s only stopping a 400 Evasion drop from AoE’s. 1SP per felt reasonable since it’s extremely situational. Regarding the multi-strike piece of this skill, I’ve only ever seen five strikes in a single technique. Assuming a strike has 5 strikes, that only adds +200 to Evasion. This will likely see more use than the AoE part of the skill. However, it’s still situational. GIfts of the Shikigami: The numbers are roughly based on ninjutsu ratios and intentionally kept neat as the user progresses in rank. The rest is based on feeling. Dance of the Shikigami: At jounin, Opening would roughly be 100 CP or 2 SP, so I doubled that for twice per battle. Additionally, if I'm ever gone and unreachable, almondsAndRain is in charge of this advanced system because she helped make it.
