Hardcore Skittlez Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Gyōmatsugan | 行末眼 | Fate-Seeing Eye The Land of Demons is known above all else for a particular line of priestesses that hold a unique bloodline, known in the modern era as the Gyōmatsugan- the eye that divines the future. Though the origin of the kekkei genkai is entirely unknown, it has been observed to have been passed down exclusively through blood relation and is therefore classified appropriately, despite its lack of being tied to any major clan or village. Unlike most Dōjutsu, the Gyōmatsugan is not known to actually augment its user's base vision, and similarly does not grant any level of ability to discern chakra inside of an individual. Instead, the eye deals in a form of altered perception, granting its wielders a sort of "dual sight" that connects the present wielder to their future self. In reality, the Gyōmatsugan is a space/time technique that simply manifests within the user's eyes. The Gyōmatsugan's specific mechanics are not well known to scholars, as those who have inherited it have been traditionally very protective of its capacities and its true nature. When active, the eyes serve as a visual "portal" joining the visual input of a user to their future self. The kekkei genkai subconsciously feeds a present user's mind all of the information readily available to the future incarnation of the bloodline user. Though this link is very potent and beneficial in combat, its primary weakness comes from the user themselves. If their future incarnation reduces the bloodline to a passive state, the link between the user's differing temporal states is severed and the abilities of the present user are similarly limited. In this way, the active manifestation of the Gyōmatsugan is incredibly susceptible to ambushes and deception. However, as the kekkei genkai is not a Dōjutsu in the traditional sense, it may not be disabled by limiting the present user's sight for a brief period of time. In addition to the "dual-sight", the Gyōmatsugan has a passive attribute that serves as a fail-safe to protect the inheriting priestess from suffering any sort of untimely demise. When something would deal the death-blow to a wielder of the Gyōmatsugan, the bloodline activates involuntarily and immediately projects an ethereal form of the user's consciousness back in time, to a point just prior to their death. There, the future consciousness will temporarily meld with the present user's mind and warn them of their impending demise, giving them ample time to escape death or to convince another to die in their place, as per the religious tradition tied to the kekkei genkai that death is a price that must always be paid. When a user of the Gyōmatsugan expends a large quantity of their energy on activating their kekkei genkai at once, they may "see the future" of themselves to a certain point via reaching through space/time and forcing their future self to activate their kekkei genkai. This allows a temporary synchronization of the present and future self's minds and grants the present wielder access to information that they would not otherwise gave, giving others the impression that they have some manner of true clairvoyance. Gyōmatsugan Activation/Upkeep • 5% total chakra • Advanced System Special Note; The Gyōmatsugan is not deactivated or made to pay any extra costs when the user's vision is obscured for less than 3 turns. Restrictions: Ranks may only be purchased once per 20 levels Gyōmatsugan Projection [ - ] Description: The Gyōmatsugan grants its abilities the unique ability to project themselves into the past immediately upon the moment of their demise. The bloodline will activate as they are dealt a killing blow and send their consciousness into the past, whereupon it will join with the past version's mind and inform them of their impending demise. This allows an inheritor to easily avoid the moment of their own death, though it does tend to be rather taxing on the past variation's body. Effect: This skill may be activated X times per battle. When an attack that would reduce the user's HP to or below 0 instead deals damage to the user's chakra and stamina equal to .5(100-10X)% of the total damage that would have otherwise been dealt, after the user's defense is applied; X is equal to the current rank in this skill. This skill triggers automatically and independently of the user's discretion; this skill may be triggered even when the Gyōmatsugan is not active, though doing so increases the stamina/chakra damage sustained by 25% each. If this skill is triggered while the Gyōmatsugan is not active, it is then considered active for the remainder of that turn and its upkeep must be paid accordingly. Ranks: 3 Restrictions: Ranks may only be purchased once per 30 levels -2 Gyōmatsugan Prescience [ - ] Description: While active, the Gyōmatsugan allows its wielders to see a joint vision that links themselves and their future incarnations; this ability grants the wielder the ability to see the many paths of their personal and immediate future, thereby allowing them to more easily avoid danger. Effect: While the Gyōmatsugan is active and this character would make a dodge roll, they have a 10X% chance to be allowed a second dodge roll- the second roll is always taken. X is equal to the current rank in this skill. Ranks: 4 Restrictions: Ranks may only be purchased once per 20 levels -1 (Ranks 1 and 2) | -2 (Ranks 3 and 4) Gyōmatsugan Prediction [ - ] Description: The future-sense inherent to an active Gyōmatsugan grants its user the incredible ability to adjust their attacks to compensate for a dodge that the opponent was already in the process of making. This grants a Gyōmatsugan and incredibly amount of "accuracy" and bragging rights about getting everything right on "the first try". Cheaters. Effect: While the Gyōmatsugan is active, attacks made by this character have a 10X% chance to be treated as though they were a dynamic trap with their conditions currently met. Techniques modified in this way do not suffer from the usual -4% to-hit from standard dynamic traps. X is equal to the current number of ranks in this skill. Ranks: 4 Restrictions: Ranks may only be purchased once per 20 levels -1 Gyōmatsugan Prevention [ - ] Description: A branch off of the previous utilization of the Gyōmatsugan's joined future sight; wielders of the kekkei genkai are exceptional at seeing and acting to prevent the would-be counter maneuvers of an opponent. With a near infinite knowledge of the immediate future, the user has the ability to see exactly where a defensive structure's weakest point is, or to see that they have to swing just that much faster to prevent an opponent's escape. Effect: While the Gyōmatsugan is active, Response Phase techniques used against this character have an additional 5X% chance to fail, where X is equal to the number of ranks that the user currently has in this skill. This fail chance applies even if the technique used would not normally have a fail chance. Ranks: 4 Restrictions: Ranks may only be purchased once per 20 levels -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Skittlez Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 This is just a placeholder resub while I work through the details on this. THIS IS NOT YET READY FOR REVIEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondsAndRain Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 As I mentioned via PM, I'm cleaning up the forum some, so I'm going to move it to dead. I can't write a review as it looks like it hasn't yet been changed from the original that got sent to dead some time back. If you'd like me to move it back for you, feel free to let me know. If you don't wanna work on this though, do you mind if I give it a shot? This bloodline is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
