cntrstrk14 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Daikuroraka 大黒らか | The Great Darkness You've opened your eyes to a scene unfamiliar to you, your thoughts come like molasses down a thick tree trunk. Where you had been only a moment ago is lose, and you can't quite shake the feeling like you've been here before, but at the same time it feels so alien. In all directions around you see nothing but a great expanse of water, perfectly still and clear as a mirror. It reflects the clouded blue sky above, shapes that churn and move too quickly for natural clouds, but with a type of pattern and dance to them. You feel as if you've watched them before but you can't place where. Looking down, you see that your hands are your own, but they leak mist like cold rain falling onto hot stones. You feel like you should be alarmed by this, but a flowing peace reverberates through you keeping you from panic. The water beyond your fingertips reflects your face, same as you remember but also trailing faint mist. And beyond the reflect you see that the water is shallow... or very deep. Or both at the same time. You can see the bottom but you feel as if you tried to touch it you would never be able to reach the white sand below. And the sand... it churned and swirled despite the water being entirely still. You've never seen water to still or sand dance in such a way. You wonder at it until a soft piece of string music touches your ears. You follow the sound for what feels like an eternity, it never growing louder but you always know which direction it is coming from. Your footfalls to not disturb the water and the scenery never changes. In the sky above the clouds continue to churn, large shapes undulating in ways that seem more monstrous than natural. As your sight pulls from those clouds back to the water you see her. A young woman with pale blue hair and a white dress has appeared before you. She is playing what looks to be the skeleton of an instrument, delicate hands navigating strings with a master's practice. Like you, she stands on the water, but her focus is on the detail of her movements and your presence is not acknowledged. You feel as if another eternity passes with the music washing over you before she ends, pulling her bow up and lightly letting it rest on her shoulder. Her eyes finally raise and she smiles at you. Those eyes, like two pools of infinity, deep and inhuman they seem more endless than the water around you. "Hello n̬̰̝͖̩̻͎̍̃̐̆ͨ̋͠t͓̣̭ͫ̈́͝ḯ͙̹͕͕̠͚̳̜̄̒ͧ̉͋͜l̢̤̟̖̳̺̪̼̩̠ͪ̀͜j̮̠̅ͭ̿̂͠a̲̹̜ͬ̅͌̋̈́̋̓̈́ͪk͚͕̦͕͔̟̮̱̅ͦ́̓͑ͥͯ͞n͚̫͊̀̓͆a̶̢̭͉͓̳̱̞͈ͨ͆͜ȃ̙̼̥̱̩͔̦̿̔̋̓̾̀̿̀͢ȕ̡̩̏́ , it has been a long while, but nearly no time at all." She smiles warmly, the smile a mother gives when a child returns home. "Come, see for a bit. The infinity awaits. You will not be able to see it all, no soul may see it all, but you may see a bit." She smiles again, this time releasing the instrument from her grip and walking towards you with the bow still across her shoulder. Her steps are light, her toes barely touching the water before taking another step as if she is closer to gliding than walking. The instrument stays perfectly upright without her, a monolith in the flat expanse in every direction. As she nears she takes her bow and points towards the water below. The sand that had been stirring since your arrival is no longer. It is still and calm, but as you look closer you feel yourself... falling. Falling into the water but without a splash. Your vision is blurred the expanse of water and cloud is gone and you see visions, lands and people you don't recognize flash past until you finally come upon to familiar figures. You know these two, they are familiar to you... but at the same time not. They are different than what you knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntrstrk14 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Official Rules Matches will be determined and set at the beginning of each round. Each match will have a role play prompt for the 'universe' in which the battle takes place. Have fun with it and remember, this is not your normal character, they exist in entirely different realities and may have been shaped very differently by this different world! Don't think anything that happens here necessarily reflects on your character! This tournament will likely not be fairly balanced as we are mixing players of very different levels of experience. As such, rewards will be based on completed fights and not on performance. (Read: The rewards for winning will be small compared to the rewards for just participating. Don't be mad at me when the rewards are announced and they are small. I will cut you.) All fights will have a 3 day (72 hour) posting deadline. This means that a player will have 72 hours from the time of their opponent's post to get a reply up. If this is ever a problem approach cntrstrk14 before the deadline and let him know. It will be much easier to ask in advance if you know you will miss a deadline than to miss it and ask for forgiveness. Missed deadlines can range from disqualification to simply lessened rewards. Have fun! The goal of this tournament is to engage more in battles, practicing with your characters and creations, and enjoying yourself! Please contact a staff member if you ever have any questions or concerns about the tournament, a battle you are in or your opponent! A character may join in later in the tournament. They will be added to the next round of matches. Once the first matches are posted you are not allowed to update your character sheet. Combat Rules We will be using the April Fools regeneration rules! That means 30% base Chakra & Stamina Regeneration! If you have questions about regeneration skills aside Chakra Flow or Intestinal Fortitude please PM cntrstrk14 for an official ruling. All players will adjust their stats to the total indicated by their assigned tournament group (see below). If your total stats are below the total stats for your tournament group, you may add stat points anywhere you please until you have reached the allotted amount. You may not remove points from any of your current stats to put elsewhere. Only add. If your total stats are above the total stats for your tournament group, you must remove stat points from any stat you please until you have reached the allotted amount. You may not add to any of your current stats to increase them beyond what they are currently. Only remove. Players have been split into two brackets for this tournament based on their level (see below). Players will only be changing their stats. No changes to skills, equipment, or techniques will be allowed. You play what you currently have even if your level goes up or down. Each tournament group has an assigned ninja rank, level, and stat total. For all effects and abilities that reference ninja rank or level, the player is considered to be the ninja rank and level of their tournament group. All techniques used are considered to be of the ninja rank of the tournament group. That means if a player is in a group whose Ninja Rank is assigned 'Chuunin' uses a Gennin ranked technique, it is considered a Chuunin rank technique for these battles and will follow the same rules as if it was. This is most important for using Response Phase Jutsu. The total stats is your total stats minus equipment. Players with Death Bonuses do not get the bonus stats in this tournament from their skill, but are allowed any other bonus the Death Bonus grants. So a player with a 'Legendary' Death Bonus will have the same base stats as a player with no Death Bonus. All out of combat effects that happen in the tournament are carried over between matches, but are not carried over in the real world. This includes things such as Item Consumption, Technique Stealing / Copying, Dynamic Trap effectiveness reductions, etc. The time between matches is considered to be years for any effects that care about time. All items that are broken in combat are repaired for free between matches. Helpful Reminders! You may only have a bonus +10% total stats from equipment. If you have had to lower your total stats for this tournament be aware of this! If your equipment gives more than +10% you may wear it, but you must decide what bonuses you are gaining before the battle. Here is the relevant rules exert from 6.03 —"Passive equipment can only raise a player's stats by 10% of their stat total. This means a player with 1,000 total stats can only have a maximum bonus of 100 from all of their equipment. If a player's equipment places them over that limit they choose which bonuses are in effect and which are not (must use full bonuses from equipment, cannot use fractions of bonuses from equipment). A player may at any time use their setup phase to change equipment bonuses but must use the entire phase to do so. The term equipment includes all items a character wears or uses including weapons and armor." Tournament Groups Nanukazuki-kumi Gathering of the Half Moon [Levels 1-50] • Ninja Rank: Chuunin • Level: 50 • Total Stats: 5,500 Komochizuki-kumi Gathering of the Near Full Moon [Levels 51-120] • Ninja Rank: Sennin • Level: 100 • Total Stats: 10,500 Preparing for the First Match Send a PM to cntrstrk14 with your stat updates.

When affixed to the body, the seal is activated and the wearer's evasive abilities are enhanced beyond their normal capacity, easily allowing them to dodge lethal attacks. Unlike the basic body flicker, Shadow Sutra's leave a dark, wispy chakra in the user's wake, giving the item its name. Cost: 両0 • Item: Gorilla Hair Pill Quantity: 2 Size: .2 Item Slots Type: Consumable Item Effect: This item may be used to increase the user's Block Range by 15 for 3 turns. While under the effects of this item if the user blocks an attack, that attack's damage is reduced by 60% instead of 50%.
