Ravage Nocturne Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) Teizoukaifuu (逓増開封) [breaking the Seal Gradually] The Inner Coil System -the metaphoric "Chakra highway"- has a series of branches referred to as tenketsu, which normally allow Chakra to migrate from within the body to the environment. There is a 'valve' mechanism that locks and unlocks the Chakra openings -locations where the tenketsu end; typically beneath the dermis- as such to prevent Chakra from evaporating from the body at all times. There are 361 such openings, and the Recessive Nankan's tenketsu are malformed and perpetually sealed, preventing Chakra from escaping the body even intentionally. These dysfunctional Chakra openings eventually 'burn' the skin at birth, as the Chakra within their bodies continues to build and pressurize without a means of release. Therefore, countless intricate designs -resembling tattoos in earlier life- dapple the entire body of a Nankan, only fading as the seals are broken. The only way to force the valves open is to continue pressurizing the Chakra within the body until it quite literally 'explodes' through the valve(s). Until the seals are unlocked, Nankan typically struggle to mold their Chakra effectively, wasting exorbitant energy to craft even the most simplistic of jutsu. Over time, -and as the Nankan multiplies their Chakra reservoir- both the compressed energies and the Nankan's growing adeptness will more quickly release the seals across their body, until finally unlocking the 361st tenketsu, where they quite literally evolve into a totem of power. Having spent their lives with such their Chakra in such limited and confined conditions, fully releasing their tenketsu allows them to mold their energies as a normal person might, becoming beyond effortless. Although the avenue is difficult to traverse, upon reaching the end, a Recessive Nankan reaps the benefits of their prior hindrances, no longer plagued by their blood Requirements: Recessive Nankan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ General Information: To calculate how many seals a Nankan has unlocked, simply divide their Total Chakra by 4 (or 25%). This number reflects how many seals have been released, to a maximum of 361, and a minimum of 1. Recessive Nankan should keep the following Chart somewhere on their character sheet for ease of access and updating: [(Total Chakra)/4=(#Seals unlocked); X Seals remaining] IE: 1000 Chakra/4=250 Seals unlocked (111 Seals remaining) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Other: Certain jutsu and skills may require a specified number of seals unlocked to access. There are 'ranges' of seals that may only be unlocked pending character rank, no matter how much Chakra they may have. Only once this entire range is unlocked may a Nankan access the following tier. Any bonuses that come from unlocking this range only apply once the final seal is unlocked IE: Gennin has unlocked 38 Seals; he cannot access Instability Coils III. Gennin has unlocked 40 or 41 Seals; he may now access Instability Coils III ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Ichijihan'i (範囲次); The Primary Range- --Gennin Rank Seals These tenketsu may be unlocked by Gennin. Despite the available reservoir of Chakra, Gennin lack the experience and mastery to mold and shape th eir Chakra enough to forcefully unlock the remaining seals. At the beginning, it becomes progressively more difficult to unlock each seal in succession, requiring training to further release their energies -Instability Coils I: 40% Success rate for all Ninjutsu and Genjutsu (1-60 is failure), and success requires an additional 50% Chakra paid to perform the technique. May only be overcome with -Instability Coils I (+5) ---Seals 1-40 Released--- -Instability Coils II: 60% Success rate for all Ninjutsu and Genjutsu (1-40 is failure), and success requires an additional 40% Chakra paid to perform the technique. May only be overcome with -Instability Coils III (-1) ---Seals 41-80 Released--- -Instability Coils III: 80% Success rate for all Ninjutsu and Genjutsu (1-20 is failure), and success requires an additional 30% Chakra paid to perform the technique. May only be overcome with -Instability Coils IV (-1) ---Seals 81-120 Released--- -Instability Coils IV: 100% Natural success rate for all Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, though success requires an additional 20% Chakra paid to perform the technique. May only be overcome with -Instability Coils V (-1) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Nijihan'i (範囲次); The Secondary Range- --Chuunin Rank Seals As experience and skill accumulate, so does the method and quickness through which the Nankan can unlock their seals. Although they remain limited as they reach the next tier, they manage to surpass what they normally could not, allowing them to finally exceed their hindrances, and reap the benefits of their labor ---Seals 121-160 Released--- -Instability Coils V: 10% Chakra paid to perform Ninjutsu or Genjutsu techniques. May only be overcome with -Instability Coils VI (-1) ---Seals 161-200 Released--- -Instability Coils VI: Character no longer must pay additional Chakra while performing Ninjutsu or Genjutsu (-1) ---Seals 201-240 Released--- -Genesis Release; Divine Providence: Character has a 50% chance to fully resist afflictions that hinder their Chakra regeneration due to their compressed Chakra flow (-1) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Daisanjihan'i (範囲第三次); The Tertiary Range- --Jounin Rank Seals No longer struggling to release their seals, the Nankan's progress is natural and fluid. The more effort the Nankan puts into unlocking their tenketsu, the greater the benefits; it is now inevitable, as they approach the final seal... ---Seals 241-280 Released--- -Genesis Shaping; Division of Labor I: Character needs only pay 90% of a Ninjutsu or Genjutsu's overall cost (-2) ---Seals 281-320 Released--- -Genesis Shaping; Division of Labor II: Character needs only pay 80% of a Ninjutsu or Genjutsu's overall cost (-2) ---Seals 320-360 Released--- -Genesis Conflagration; Immaculation: After determining the overall cost of a Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, character may bolster the cost by 20% for an additional 10% damage or effect (may not apply to status effects or durations) (-2) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ---Seal 361 Released--- At this point, the Nankan enters the realm of legend. Having released the final seal, their Chakra reservoir which has been compressed for so long releases all at once, transforming the Nankan into a fluxing wave of energy. Their unnaturally dense Chakra becomes difficult to predict and track, even with aid of Doujutsu, as the Chakra's signature is impossible to differentiate due to the thickness, confusing many who rely upon their eyes. Only a select few have survived opening the final seal, due to the potent effects -Character receives 1000 Chakra (not counting towards level; kept separate from 'normal Chakra total' to avoid confusion) -Genesis Release; Eruption: All Doujutsu bloodlines, skills, and techniques that involve the perception and tracking of Chakra have a 50% chance to fail, having zero effect for that turn (1-50 denotes failure). In the event of success, the use of the bloodline, skill, or technique occurs normally. In the event of failure, the opponent retains their right to react and respond, though without the intended skill, bloodline, or technique (-2) -Genesis Conflagration; Immaculation II: After determining the overall cost of a Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, character may bolster the cost by 20% for an additional 20% damage or effect (may not apply to status effects or durations) (-2) Edited October 25, 2011 by Ravage Nocturne
Khaos Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Skill point values for 'Tertiary Tenketsu Opening Seals'.
Ravage Nocturne Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 Approved. Sadly, going to have to postpone this. Been receiving feedback that it isn't 'flashy' or 'worth' it to go through all the trouble in the beginning for current effect. Looks like I"ll be adding a second branch, and some new effects Cos it doesn't have to shine, but it's gotta compete with other clans in terms of usefulness
abeiros Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Just wondering, but the 361 Unlocked skills sounds as if it could be an 'activation' of the bloodline, or is it a constant effect, or can it be allowed to be used whenever you want in a battle. I think by making a skill which can suppress the last seal and release it anytime could make it more true to your description. Just a thought.

I think by making a skill which can suppress the last seal and release it anytime could make it more true to your description.Just a thought. Constant effect. By this point, the Nankan has accumulated so much Chakra, it's frightening. Since they've lived with such pressurized Chakra for so long, it's become 'typical' for it to be dense, heavy, and compressed with energies. It's not something they turn on or off. In fact, it's usually to the point where it's 'visibly' seething from their bodies. They'd actually have to suppress their Chakra to hide that. It wouldn't be more true to my description turning it into an on/off switch, because the very purpose of the bloodline is to go against the grain of others. Most bloodlines are activated. So I wanted one that wasn't. Most bloodlines throw strength at you from the beginning. So I wanted one you'd have to work for. This clan really separates the serious RP'r from the casual, since it demands so much patience and control.
cntrstrk14 Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 APPROVED I am so glad you changed the names.
almondsAndRain Posted November 1, 2022 Posted November 1, 2022 Tony resubmitted this bloodline and it got approved, so I'm kicking this over to dead to limit potential confusion.
