Aragane Shun [ 鉱瞬 ]

Aragane Shun stands in stark contrast to the majority of Aragane found within Iwagakure no Sato, with light skin, and lighter yet hair. Heiring from a wealthier branch of the clan within the country of Coal, Shun does not appear to have spent any significant amount of time around the forges from which the Aragane gain their fame. While his skin is lightly seared, giving some color to his base creme hue, the teen appears to have be tanned by leisure within the sun more than the heat of fire or sweltering labor. His physique is unblemished by callous or scar- it appears as though the boy has either seen little combat, or has an exceptional knack for not getting hurt; his frame is slender but well toned, as he has spent a great deal of time maintaining a functional and attractive form- it would not be hard to presume that he was an individual with some vanity.

Shun’s countenance holds sharp, though not not necessarily slender features, that mark him as an easily memorable individual. His eyes shift from a pumpkin to coquelicot hue depending on the quality of available light, though they retain a critical and piercing stare, as though he is judging or even looking down upon most things that he sees. Framing these features is a top of somewhat messy blonde hair that can often be found hanging freely in his face. From either side of this assortment of strands can his ears be found protruding- both of which bear a looped earring hanging from both lobes.

When outfitted for shinobi combat, Shun seems to prefer loose and flowing clothing that provides comfort and obscurity to his finer movements. He is often seen wearing a sash of rich color draped diagonally from waist to shoulder, and accompanies them with otherwise basic colors- such as white or khaki. The boy very much has an affinity for jewelry, as he is known to wear rings, bracelets, armlets, and necklaces of varying metals to accent the other coloration of his attire. Despite the penchant for carefully selected color schemes, he seems to prefer silver and platinum pieces for civilian attire, and gold in shinobi garb.

The casual/everday attire of this Aragane youth tend to vary rather wildly. When relaxing within the confines of his own abode, or within the presence of a few trusted companions, Shun prefers loose fitting, unadorned, attire; though his tastes are greatly muted when expecting no sort of outing, he does still enjoy wearing any assortment of precious metal regalia. As a representative of a prominent branch within the Aragane clan, Shun often is found wearing expensive formal or semi-formal clothing when out and about; he seems to prefer variations on the classic western suit-and-tie dress-scheme.

Persona

♔ Likes: Pastries, Spicy Food, Leisure, Classical Violin, Piano, Precious Gems and Metals

♔ Dislikes: Reading, Poverty, Mint, Being Lectured, The General Populous, Cowardice

♔ Synopsis:

It is not uncommon for Aragane Shun to be described as an unpleasant person. Though he is not directly antagonistic, he is an egotistical individual with a penchant for demeaning those that do not measure up to his self-placed standards. He is often seen as a boy with no filter and a knack for being overly blunt, even in some situations where it is not otherwise called for. Though he shows a measure of respect to those in positions greater than his own, Shun is the sort to be wary of any individual who has not immediately shown their ability to him personally. Through this, it can be seen that the boy is a natural skeptic; consequently, he has a talent and appreciation for the sciences more so than any sort of mysticism or legend.

However harsh he may be, Shun has been misattributed as a particularly loyal individual. He tends to hold true to his promises, and enjoys seeing his close companions pleased; often, he will often spend large amounts of money on his friends as his way of showing affection, despite his otherwise frugal spending habits. The boy often rises to anger when one of his friends or family are injured or threatened, and will step in the way of most oncoming trials to prevent a friend from enduring an unnecessary hardship. These habits are often seen as an underlying “protective” nature, and such assumptions tend to only be partially correct. In actuality, Shun is an boy with a habit of viewing people as possessions. His friends are readily identified as his friends, and he frequently thinks of friends in a rather cold fashion- many of them will get internal rankings that vary based on their immediate usefulness or how pleasant Shun finds their company. Typically, these hidden “ranks” will determine how sharp the Aragane’s words tend to be, or just how large of a dinner he is willing to buy them.

His sociopathic personality traits and tendency to act selfishly have led to Shun being very adept at accomplishing his own goals, often at the expense of others. He aspires to own the greatest collection of rare items, and indeed individuals, in the world. Driven by and filled with avarice, Shun has decided that the world already belongs to him- it just doesn’t know it yet.

History

♔ Prologue;

Aragane Shun was born into a prosperous life as the only child of an arranged marriage between Aragane Tsutomu [鉱勉] and Kurosawa Ameko [黒澤雨娘]. As a child of wealth, Shun was raised primarily by proxy and was homeschooled by the finest private tutors that money could buy. Around the age of six, the boy’s inherited kekkei genkai manifested and set him on a path to learning the shinobi arts. While his particular branch of the family was not known for their exceptional shinobi ability, his early training sessions with hired shinobi proved that the boy’s real talents lie within the utilization of the Ekikoton and Weapon-based combat. After his training with private tutors had reached a peak, the boy realized that he could learn no more from paid teachers and began to seek learning elsewhere. Within the country of Coal, he found its options incredibly limited, forcing him to turn to the only logical decision: Iwagakure no Sato.

With a desire to ascend above the greatest of the Aragane legends, Shun set out for Iwagakure with hopes of training under those more knowledgeable than his own business-minded family or the rogue shinobi they had employed. Upon arrival within the Hidden Stone, he immediately enrolled himself within the academy and graduated shortly thereafter. He presently awaits assignment as a genin, ready to take the world in his hand- where it rightfully belongs.

Kekkei Genkai

Ekikōton | 液鋼遁 | Liquid Steel Release

Ninja who possess the power of the Ekikōton (ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ) are able to easily comprehend and manipulate its elemental components of Fire, Earth, and Water. The bloodline is found within the Aragane clan; this genetic mutation probably arose from extended exposure to steel while living for generations in the Country of Coal. The liquid aspect was dormant until the connection was discovered by Aragane Shiro while researching in Kiri. In essence, the bloodline enables its carriers to wield a water-like steel chakra which can form metallic structures with an interactive structure. In its dormant form, the steel retains its traditional, impervious shape and strength; however, if the right chakra signal is applied to the metal, its structure radically changes into a liquid format without the need for intense heating. Even from a young age a novice capable of transmuting a simple metal spoon back and forth between its liquid and solid states, and masters from the art can create metallic tidal waves which in an instant freeze to form monumental steel prisons. Elegant yet cold, the ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ is at the heart of the Aragane strength.

Formation

Forgeborn

Description: Found within many members of the Aragane clan, the born users of Ekikōton able to easily shape, restructure, and utilize most metallic objects- especially steel. While this natural attribute makes them renowned metallurgists and blacksmiths, their bodies are not as inherently attuned to the more basic elements of their trademark ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ. While they may eventually gain the ability to utilize more base elements and beyond, it is not typical without extensive training.

Effect: The wielder receives the skill ‘Combinatorial Elements: ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ’ for 0 Skill Points. When purchased at character creation, the skill “Combinatorial: ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ” replaces their village bonus skill. When purchasing the skill “Ninjutsu Mastery; ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ”, characters with this skill may purchase 2 ranks for 1 Skill Point.

Cost: -2

Atomic Fluidity

Description: While there have been a number of renowned Steel-type ninjutsu users scattered throughout the world, few have come to truly compare to the metal-forming prowess of those that possess the Ekikōton kekkei genkai. Metalwork comes naturally to them, and the very nature of ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ makes it stand out versus its metallic competitors.

Effect: ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ Shields created by this character take 5(x + y)% less damage from all sources, wherein X is equal to the number of ranks in this skill and Y is equal to the user's current Ninja Rank. Ranks in this skill may only be purchased once every 20 levels.

Total Ranks: 4

Owned Ranks: 2

Cost: -1 (Ranks 1 and 2) | -2 (Ranks 3 and 4)

Durasteel

Description: The Ekikōton exists as more than just a natural ability to reshape dormant metals- it is also an artform. Where other metal-shapers would require years of training to temper a blade or curve a pauldron, the members of the Aragane can create strong, lasting pieces with the simplest of gestures.

Effect: Items, Barriers and Shields that are created by ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ techniques no longer have a maximum turn duration, but are destroyed at the end of combat. This character may not have more than 3 ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ Shields or Barrier active at a time.

Ranks: 1

Cost: -2

Manipulation

~~Metallic Dissolution~~

Description: While very sturdy to the unobservant eye, the ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ of the Aragane is actually very fragile if one knows exactly how to manipulate it. By applying the proper touch, the atomic structure of a beam of the strongest metal can fracture into countless pieces, releasing a large amount of the stored energy in the process. Properly trained Aragane shinobi know how to recapture this energy even in the midst of a battle, to recycle old constructs in anticipation of new situations.

Effect: During the user’s Setup Phase, at the cost of that phase, they may sacrifice one currently active ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ barrier or shield and increase the current and total health of another active ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ barrier or shield by the sacrificed shield or barrier’s current health. This skill may be only be used a number of times per battle equal to the skill taker's ninja rank plus 1.

Cost: -1 SP

~~Recombinant Structure~~

Description: Perhaps one of the greatest attributes of the Aragane clan's ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ is that it flows organically from structure to structure, giving it a very organic method of combat. The techniques of the ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ element are known to lend each other strength, building a strong but flexible support structure.

Effect: When using a ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ technique, increase the current and total health of one (1) of the user's previously active ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ Shields or Barriers by 30% of the used technique's base cost, to a maximum of 150% of the constructs original total health.

Requirements: Durasteel

Cost: -2

Flexile Cloak

Description: In addition to the mastery of ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ ability to reinforce its sister techniques, members of the Aragane clan have found a method of augmenting their own flesh using the excess chakra found within ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ formation techniques. When using ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ techniques, the users progressively build a skin-tight, reactive hardening, armoring.

Effect: Once per battle per rank during their Setup Phase, as a Standard Action, the skill-taker may generate a ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ Shield whose health value is equal to three (3) times the skill-taker's level; this Shield is treated as though it were created by a ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ technique for the purposes of any modifying abilities and lasts a base of 4 turns. After activating this skill, the user may not take Setup Phase action for a number of turns equal to their current rank in Flexile Cloak. Only one Flexile Cloak Shield may be active at a time.

Ranks: 3

Owned Ranks: 1

Restrictions: Only one rank may be taken every 20 levels.

Cost: -1

Kin'ō no Buki-ko | 金王の武器庫 | Armory of the Golden King
Advanced System

Throughout history, man's ideas have been given form through creation and chakra- in Ninjutsu, forging, and writing. Throughout all of these things, there lies an underlying avarice- a desire to hold all the things that their minds can fathom; in this, it is seen that Humanity is ultimately a vainglorious species. Within the past eons, there have existed individuals that have taken this desire beyond the natural parameters of their mother species, reaching beyond themselves and their means to grasp at something that existed only within their dreams: An infinite vault that knew not the tests of time. Each of these men and women whose desire struggled to surpass the last placed their body and mind in the pursuit of such a treasury- and little did they realize, they had fed their unconscious chakras into the idea of such a vault existing. Over time, this accumulation of chakra within a very idea gave birth to the existence of such an object- or, more accurately, such a place. Existing then between the annals of time and space, this unlimited arsenal sat, empty. It was ultimate sheath to the weapons of mankind, the greatest bust that would house the most precious of jewelry, and the encyclopedia that would document all of humanity's achievements- but, without a master to hold its key, the vault would remain an empty dimension.

In time, there came to be a single man who held the power and the desire to be granted the key to the Eternal Vault. Though his name was lost to time, he existed within the documents of historians and archaeologists simply as "The Golden King"- the man who had amassed the treasures of his time. It was said that many of the ancient legends that persisted into the modern era came first from his Eternal Vault- being scattered across those warriors that he saw fit to wield his treasures in his name. Though many of such treasures now are but whispers upon the wind, the profound impact of his collection is felt into the current era, as there is nary a blade that the Vault does not yet hunger for. Since the time of the Golden King, only a few have stumbled haphazardly onto the precipice of the Vault's doorway. In times of need, their desire would make manifest the key, and allow them to draw one or perhaps two treasures forth from the armory, eventually draining the Vault of its few remaining treasures.

All documented access to this extra-planar Vault indicates that drawing forth a weapon or an object from it is a glorious image to behold. Golden ripples distort space, as if reality were but a still surface of water, as the various weapons summoned forth from the Eternal Vault emerge from the shimmering distortions of space/time. These golden 'ripples' are vibrant and can be almost blinding in dark, enclosed spaces-- it makes whoever is the current key-bearer to the a splendid and regal figure to observe. When looked upon with eyes that may perceive chakra, each individual "ripple", or "Gate"(as they are more accurately called) appears to be a single, hyper-condensed mass of chakra that very distinctively seems to be but the tip of an incredibly ancient and massive entity of Chakra, not unlike gazing upon the eldest of summons.

Despite all of the Vault's glory, it sits now empty and unused, awaiting another individual whose desire surpasses their mortal means- for only such an individual could grasp the Key with any permanence.

Activation/Upkeep: Setup Phase, 5% Total Chakra Activation and Upkeep

Advanced Regeneration: All advanced regeneration is suspended while this Advanced System is active.

Eternal Vault

Effect: Characters with this skill gain an addition to the Inventory section on their Character Sheets titled “Eternal Vault”. The “Eternal Vault” has no maximum item slot limit, and may have items stored freely in it out of battle. Items stored within the “Eternal Vault” may be equipped without cost only while the Armory of the Golden King advanced system is active.

-1

King's Gate

Effect: While the Armory of the Golden King advanced system is active, the user may “equip” any number of weapons stored within the “Eternal Vault” during the Setup Phase as a Free Action. Weapons equipped in this way do not take up the user’s hands, and deal damage equal to 2x their level rather than their normal damage ratios. The user may make a number of strikes per turn with these weapons based on their shinobi rank, as follows: Genin: 1, Chuunin: 2, Jōnin: 3, Sennin: 4. Weapons equipped via this skill do not grant any stat bonuses to their user, if they possessed such attributes. Weapon attacks made with weapons equipped through this skill receive damage modifiers from Ninjutsu at a ratio of 40:5 and Accuracy at a ratio of 40:5. Weapons equipped through “King's Gate” are automatically unequipped at the end of the user’s Response Phase following the resolution of their respective attacks; Weapons equipped but not utilized are automatically unequipped in the user's following Response Phase. Weapons used to attack with this skill may not be used on successive turns, and do not benefit normally from the Warrior skill. Weapon attacks made via this skill are paid for with Chakra.

-3

Unending Barrage

Effect: While the Armory of the Golden King advanced system is active, the user gains an additional 1 weapon strike, per main phase, when using weapons equipped through the “King's Gate” skill.

-3

~~The Golden Rule~~

Effect: On a turn in which the Armory of the Golden King advanced system is active and King's Gate is not utilized, this character regenerates 2.5% of their total chakra at the end of their Main Phase; this regeneration occurs even if they would not otherwise be granted a Main Phase action(via Stunned or similar effects.) Additionally, Inner Calm now also applies its effects to Weapon Attacks made via the King's Gate skill.

-2

~~Regal Archer~~

Effect: While the Armory of the Golden King advanced system is active, increase the user’s Accuracy statistic by 5X, where X is equal to their level, when making weapon attacks utilizing the King's Gate skill.

-3

Notes: At a maximum of 5 weapons at level 100, this has the potential to deal 1000 base weapon damage in a turn; this is about 200 over the Sennin Damage Cap for Taijutsu. 200 damage roughly converts into 800 Ninjutsu or Taijutsu at Sennin rank, meaning that this is in line with other stat boosting advanced systems-- boosting a total of 1400 stats overall. However, rather than simply requiring an upkeep like other bloodlines, this also still requires the cost of "swinging" the weapons to be paid, meaning that any flexibility for multiple-weapon use is still adequately paid for. Unhindered Glory adds a maximum of 100 damage to an attack, and still divides modifiers accordingly- making it still fall in line with other stat or damage boosting advanced systems.

Eternal Vault

Weapons

Sword of Rupture, Ea | 乖離剣・エア | Kairi Ken ・ Ea

Weapon Type: Tsurugi | Longsword
Size: Medium
Level: 10
Special Abilities:

Noble Phantasm
Effect: This weapon may never have its level increased through any means, nor may it be granted attributes other than those at the time of submission through any means. For the purposes of calculating this weapon's damage, treat this weapon's damage as though it were 5 levels higher per medium or large weapon stored within the wielder's Eternal Vault; these weapons must be at least level 10 to grant bonus levels to this weapon. At the time Sword of Rupture, Ea is equipped, the wielder will select up to two (2) attributes possessed by other Medium or Large weapons stored within the Eternal Vault, per Ninja Rank. Sword of Rupture, Ea is treated as though it possessed those attributes and met their requirements; these attributes are removed from Sword of Rupture, Ea, when the blade is willingly unequipped.

Prototype God
Effect: Whenever this weapon would be "Destroyed" it is not destroyed and is instead unequipped and immediately returned to the Eternal Vault; Sword of Rupture, Ea may not be equipped for two turns following it being unequipped by Prototype God. Sword of Rupture, Ea may not be replicated or copied through any means.

Standard Attributes: Unique | Indestructible

Description: Sword of Rupture, Ea, is the sole weapon that has remained stored within the Armory of the Golden King over all of the centuries that the armory’s key has exchanged hands; it is considered to be the strongest weapon stored within the Armory at any given time and is transcendent in nature, unable to be replicated through any mortal means. The blade of a ruler among rulers, Ea is a weapon that is said to have been forged before the conventional concept of a “Sword” had been dreamed. Though classified as a “Longsword”, Ea is a weapon that possesses no edges and no pointed tip, being blunt on every facing. Its ‘blade’ is rounded and more akin to a drill or a lance than a conventional sword, though it is small and intended to be wielded as a blade would. The weapon’s ‘blade’ is comprised of three sections that rotate slow in different directions, similar to a quern. When used to attack, Ea’s sections will accelerate their rotation and draw in the air around it, compressing and infusing the air with chakra. That air then is expelled from the blade and is used to serve as its “cutting edge”. When thrust into an opponent, Ea’s sections may be rotated at varying speeds and used to grind away at the target’s internal organs.

Aside from the blade’s unique structure, its strength is unlike any other blade in existence. Rather than drawing upon its own structural integrity and shape to increase its damage potential, the blade seems to have a power that stands directly proportionate to the strength and value of those items held within the Armory of the Golden King. The blade is a fickle one and prevents its wielder from properly accessing the other weapons within the Eternal Vault. In compensation, however, it may draw upon the combined strength of the weapons within the vault and borrow their power for truly devastating attacks.

Cost: 930 両

Mahōka, Shouri Subeki Ougon no Ken | 魔法香・勝利すべき黄金の剣 | Mahōka, Golden Sword of the Victorious

Type: Tsurugi | Longsword

Size: Medium

Level: 30

Attributes: Indestructible [50 両] | Inlaid Element; Lightning [100 両] | Elemental Resonance; Lightning [300 両] | Chakra Blade [50 両] | Greater Affliction: Clobbered [400 両]

Description: Mahōka, Shouri Subeki Ougon no Ken- or simply Mahōka, is a blade designed and crafted by Aragane Shun. Mahōka is modeled after the legendary blades of a time before the prominence of the katana's singular, curved edge. In a form typical of Shun, the blade is made with incredible care and extravagant coloration. It bears a rich navy hilt and a guard constructed of a golden variant of the Aragane's Liquid Steel kekkei genkai. The blade possesses a similar strip of gold stretching down its center, bearing an inscription upon it that serves to draw out its wielder's chakra and convert it into a bright aura that dramatically enhances the blade's cutting power. When wielding Mahōka in this way, the otherwise steel hued blade takes on a vibrant golden glow. The blade comes complete with a similarly ornate scabbard.

Cost: 1730 両

Aiketsu | 愛欠 | Loveless

Type: Tsurugi | Longsword

Size: Medium

Level: 10

Attributes: Indestructible [50 両] | Inlaid Element; Liquid Steel [100 両] | Lightened Craft [100 両] | +Sharpened Edge [100 両]

Description: Aiketsu was a blade cooperatively forged by members of many of the Aragane clan's branches as a graduation gift to Aragane Shun. The blade's hilt is lavishly designed, with a guard meticulously shaped to take on the appearance of a pair of heavenly wings. A third wing branches from the sword's guard and sweeps downward to form a partial basket, providing its wielder a near-ideal amount of protection for their hand. The blade's pommel is shaped such that it appears to be a bird's talons clutching onto a rounded sapphire. The actual blade of this Tsurugi is elongated and formed through the combined manipulations of many Liquid Steel wielders. As a result of this joint forging effort, the blade has taken on a garnet hue and is only very lightly reflective. The blade's name was given to it by Shun, as he felt as though it was a "loveless" gesture by many clan members seeking the favor of his parent's wealth. Even so, it has become a treasured piece of his arsenal and rarely leaves his sight.

Cost: 580 両

Akihime, Sasayaku Kaze no Ken | 秋姫・囁く風の剣 | Akihime, Sword of the Whispering Wind

Weapon Type: Chain Sword

Size: Medium

Level: 10

Special Abilities: --

Standard Attributes: Indestructible | Link Formation | Chakra Blade | Greater Affliction: [bleeding: 60]

Description: A sword forged within the melancholy of Aragane Shun, Akihime was designed with elegance and the spirit of falling leaves in mind. It is a chain-function sword whose edge is a brilliant silver and bound by several gem-like structures running down the center of the blade. The hilt is western in design and appears as that of a standard longsword's cross-shaped guard; it is green in hue and seems to emulate leaves falling through a gentle breeze. The blade was imbued with the Wind element and was designed to be capable of slicing through the greatest defenses.

Cost: 830

Hai-ō | 灰王 | Ash King

Weapon Type: Tsurugi | Longsword

Size: Medium

Level: 10

Special Abilities: --

Standard Attributes: Indestructible | Chakra Blade | Greater Affliction: [burning: 60]

Description: Hai-ō is a blade forged by an unknown smith and gifted to the Aragane clan as a token of goodwill, as he hoped to continue to be the sole-provider of arms within his local region. Though not of Aragane make, the blade is of fine design; it is modeled after a thick tsurugi and has been stained a rich black hue. Engraved into the base of the blade is a ninjutsu seal that allows the blade to harness the power of fire, permitting the blade to become entirely engulfed in a glut of flame. Though Hai-ō’s hilt possesses enough space for two hands and is rather large for a Tsurugi, its astonishingly light craftsmanship allows it to be wielded effortlessly in a single hand.

Cost: 730

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Substitute Technique)

Type: Ninjutsu

Rank: Academy Student

Cost: 10

Damage: None

Effects: Evade the next attack aimed at you. Skip your main and setup phase this turn. You can only use this 1 time per battle. This technique cannot be used to dodge Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu Techniques.

Description: A lifesaver, and a must-have technique. With this technique, the user is able to swap their body with a nearby object, usually a log, which will take the full force of any incoming blows for them, while they retreat to safe ground or search for an opening.

♔ Genin

Ekikōton: Saiken no Jutsu [Liquid Steel Release: Reconstruction Technique]

Type: Ninjutsu [Clan | Liquid Steel | Evolving]

Rank: Genin

Cost: x

Damage: --

Effect: Restores X health to target Liquid Steel Shield or Barrier. X may not exceed 60.

Description: In battle, Aragane ninja are known to be able to quickly and efficiently repair defensive structures and other objects made out of ʟɪqᴜɪᴅ sᴛᴇᴇʟ. They can directly augment existing metal with their own metallic chakra, quickly shoring up any weakened barriers. The efficiency of this process greatly increases with age and skill, to the point where elite Aragane are often known as the battlefield as "human foundries."

JP: -3

♔ Chuunin

Ekikōton: Tetsuhada [Liquid Steel Release: Iron Skin]

Type: Ninjutsu [Liquid Steel | Clan | Evolving | Shielding]

Rank: Chuunin

Cost: 60

Damage: --

Effect: Creates a Shield with 100 Health. This technique may be used twice per battle.

Description: After molding a mass of Liquid-Steel aligned chakra within themselves, an Aragane clan member using this technique will forcibly eject the chakra from their tenketsu on their hands and forearms, which then solidifies into a flexible, metallic, armor.

JP: -2

Ekikōton ・Meihagane no Jutsu | 液鋼遁・命鋼の術 | Liquid Steel Release ・Living Steel Technique

Rank: Chuunin

Type: Ninjutsu [ Liquid Steel | Clan | Set-up | Evolving ]

Cost: 10 Chakra | 8 Chakra Upkeep

Damage: --

Effect: This may be used in the Set-up Phase. When this technique is used, select one weapon currently in the user’s possession. For the duration of this technique, increase that weapon’s level by 5. This technique's cost and upkeep may have up to 50% of its cost and upkeep split between chakra and Shield Health. When using Shield Health to pay for parts of this technique, select only one shield from which the health is drawn. This lasts a maximum of four turns. This may be used only twice per battle; use limit is shared across all ranks of this technique.

Description: Among the members of the Aragane clan, the ability to temper and strengthen steel quickly and efficiently is considered to be the norm. Such abilities are easily represented within the Meihagane no Jutsu, wherein the Aragane clan member will spare a portion of a present Liquid Steel shield or skin-armor to augment a weapon currently held in their hand. This technique has a distinctive appearance wherein the user’s hand will appear to be a dark grey hue, near black, and will seem to be ‘fused’ with the hilt of their chosen weapon.

-2 JP

Ekikōton: Jūnan Shūyō | 液鋼遁 • 柔軟収容 | Liquid Steel Release: Flexile Encasing

Type: Ninjutsu [ Liquid Steel | Shielding | Hijutsu; Aragane ]

Rank: Chūnin

Cost: 150

Damage: --

Effect: Creates a Liquid Steel Shield with 250 Health. This Shield may be healed during the Main Phase(at the cost of that phase) at a ratio of 3 Chakra spent per 5 Health restored or in the Setup Phase(as an Upkeep) at a cost of 6 Chakra spent per 5 Health restored. This lasts four turns. This is used in the Main Phase and may be used up to twice per battle.

Description: The Aragane clan’s shielding arts continue in their Flexile Encasing technique. Unlike the Iron Skin technique which loses durability to being constantly malleable, the Flexile Encasing technique is a shield that hardens and softens reflexively with the user’s movement, granting them ideal protection while not sacrificing any of their mobility.

-6 JP

Ekikōton: Jōshō-kō no Jutsu | 液鋼遁 • 上昇鋼の術 | Liquid Steel Release: Rising Steel Technique

Type: Ninjutsu [ Liquid Steel | Barrier | Response | Hijutsu; Aragane ]

Rank: Chūnin

Cost: 120

Effect: Creates a Liquid Steel Barrier with 200 Health. This technique is used in the Response Phase and may be used up to two times per battle.

Description: After spending a considerable amount of time working alongside the shinobi of Iwagakure no Sato, the Aragane clan has learned to adapt a traditional Iwagakure defense technique to their own purposes. In this adaptation, the user will form a sequence of seals and then slam their hands into the ground, imbuing the earth beneath with their kekkei genkai’s unique chakra nature, causing a large wall of Steel to rise from the ground.

A bunshin is considered to have 0 evasion and rolls to dodge whenever it is targeted in the user's response phase. The value of x is the number of clones you have made. Maximum of 8 bunshin can be made.

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)

Special Abilities: --

Standard Attributes: Elemental Shield: Water [ 750両 ] | Indestructible [ 50両 ] | +50 Speed [ 200両 ]

Description: Designed in the likeness of a very ornate sword, this pendant is a glimmering piece of Liquid Steel craftsmanship and bears several small gems placed throughout the blade’s form. True to its image, the pendant is sharp and was a gift from Aragane Shun’s parents as a reminder of his position as their heir and a representative of the clan while traversing the world. Within the pendant is a lesson: Reach carefully for the treasures of the world, as a haphazard hand pays its price in blood.

Cost: 1000

Special Abilities: --

Standard Attributes: Adamantine Inlay [ 655両 ] | Indestructible [ 50両 ] | +50 Speed [ 200両 ]

Description: A sanguine hued sash passed down for generations within the Aragane Clan. Though ancient, the sash has seen meticulous upkeep and possesses the same defensive inlays present during its original wearer’s reign as the inventor of Liquid Steel. It has since been inherited by Aragane Shun and now is worn proudly, and frequently, as a utilitarian accessory to any shinobi attire.

Description: A set of plain bangles frequently worn by Aragane Shun. Forged of Liquid Steel, these bangles possess great defensive enhancements and are capable of being worn over the knuckles as impromptu knuckle-dusters; additionally, their composition is simple enough that they may be easily reformed for various uses by a member of the Aragane clan with ease.

♔ Main Weapon:

Goryaku | Deliverance | 御利益
-Image Reference-
Weapon Type: Bow | Relic Gear
Weapon Size: Large
Weapon Level: 10
Attributes: Unique, Staggering
Special Abilities:

Tracking Chakra: Every time an opponent is hit with a strike from this weapon they gain a Deliverance Mark. For every Deliverance Mark a player has, all attacks from the bearer of this weapon have a +2% Chance to Hit. May apply a maximum of two (2) Deliverance Marks per attack. Lasts until the end of the battle.
Latent Rupture: The user may, as a free action in their Main Phase, choose to remove all Deliverance Marks on an opponent. At the start of that opponent’s next turn, they take x damage. The value of x is equal to the extra damage they would have taken in their previous turn if their Defense was reduced by 5y%, where y is equal to the number of Deliverance Marks removed. This ability does not need to be revealed until it is used.

“Everybody dies. Somebody's carrying an arrow for you right now and doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before that arrow finds you.”
Description: A marvel of engineering, the bow called Deliverance is composed of over 200 moving parts which allow the compound bow to be stored automatically in a single, metal wristband which appears as nondescript as any piece of armor. However, Deliverance is more than just an easily concealed weapon. It has no need for arrows, instead firing the user's chakra, which is then easily tracked through a special lens on the frame of the bow. If enough of the wielder's chakra is built up in a foe's body, the wielder may use it to greatly weaken their defenses, easily killing them.

Does your IQ really need to be 154? That is like beyond the upper extreme of human intelligence. This is nit picky (like I get with height/weight sometimes) but you can still be super intelligent at like 134-138 range. I'm afraid you'll pidgeon hole yourself a bit with an absolutely insane genius character.

Your stats add up to 880, you need to place 20 more.

You have 15 skill points spent, but only 14 available. (It's 15 in your tally at the top and in the skills themselves).

History looks good!

Techniques and Money look good!

Approved.

**cntrstrk14** · May 5, 2015

This looks good, but I want to talk about the age with the rest of the group. We're looking at 11, 13 and 16. Would you be interested in rolling this down to 15? Closing up that gap might make the differences a bit easier to swallow.

**Hardcore Skittlez** · May 5, 2015

k, done
