PandaMattMatt Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Bloodline:Youso Chikushou (Elemental Beast) [Element: Animal] (Advanced System)Description: Carriers of this bloodline have the ability to become partial beasts themselves. At the passive level all carriers bear the mark of a beast in some form. For example, those of the Bear branch, can be identified by a birthmark resembling a bear paw. As well as a birthmark, certain traits of their beast are visible. Upon activation, the bloodline sharpens these traits to an extreme. From growing fangs, claws, scales, or horns, the bloodline gives life to the animal the carrier of this bloodline carries traits of. Certain stages of the bloodline causes permanent changes to the carrier's appearance. When carriers reach a point in training that takes them above most others, they train to master the Perfect Form stage of this bloodline. The Perfect Form stage is when the carrier is in equal and harmonious parts human and beast. Nearly full beast, with all the best amenities of a human. The instincts of their beast mind communicating with the intelligence of their human mind. Depending on what beast lies dormant within the carrier, a corresponding element is able to be accessed. Effects:Upon taking this bloodline, the Taker must choose one of the following Beasts*Cheetah (Speed), Wolf (Strength), Pangolin** (Defense)Shark (Speed), Alligator (Strength), Turtle (Defense)Snake (Speed) Ape (Strength), Bear (Defense)Dragonfly (Speed), Hawk (Strength), Scorpion (Defense)Horse (Speed), Spider (Strength), Rhinoceros (Defense)Any Taker of a beast from the (Speed) Category should prioritize in Speed and Stamina or TaijustuAny Taker of a beast from the (Strength) Category should prioritize in Stamina or Chakra and Ninjustu or TaijustuAny Taker of a beast from the (Defense) Category should prioritize in Defense and Evasion or Health*The animals are left vague in order to give some breathing space on creativity. As long as the animal falls under the same/similar category as stated then it is allowed. (I.E. If you chose Earth: Snake, changing it to Earth: King Cobra is acceptable. If Earth: Ape is chosen, then Earth: Orangutang, or Gorilla is also acceptable. Other reasonable exceptions may be made, PM me for permission. ) This is NOT a pet using clan.Choosing an Element: If you do not wish to have your beast be of Fire or Grass/Wood, the you must have the ability to access the element of your choosing via Subtle Elements. For example if you choose Water: Shark, then you must have the Subtle Elements [Water] skill. However if you -do- want your beast to be of Fire or Grass/Wood, no such skill is necessary.Cost: 10% total chakra to activate, 5% of remaining chakra for upkeep.

PandaMattMatt Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 So I looked at my bloodline in preparation for my second character, and realized that it sucked hardcore >.< At a Kage level rank I would get +60 to speed. I mean really? Who the hell did that? ... oh yeah me. So I fixed it and changed all the static numbers to percentages. I realize that now I may need to up sp costs, but I feel that the costs are balanced enough. *Although I could totally be wrong* So this is a revamp on a somewhat new bloodline. Have at it!
Azure Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 +45% Total damage is way way way too much. You went from weak to broken haha. Change total to base on everything, including evasion and speed. I'll make a final review later, I just got drained out.
Azure Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 I withdraw that. No advanced regen skills are applied when the bloodline is active.
PandaMattMatt Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 Seriously needs to be dead. Old as hell. Moving to Dead Bloodlines.
