kuromatsu Gingan | 銀眼 | Silver Eye

(Under Construction)

Gingan | 銀眼 | Silver Eye

 

In the far west beyond the known lands of the Shinobi resides a village far into the snow covered mountains of the north. it is said this village held a sacred treasure, a rare gem and hidden treasure trove of long forgotten kings. This gem in particular was breaming with unique chakra that could enhance abilities one hundred fold. The denizens of the village deemed it too potent to be released into the world and moved everything deeper into the mountains. They formed a stronghold and devoted generation upon generation to protecting them. The villagers themselves had a special Dojutsu, one thay allowed them to see with unnaturally clarity the truth of the world around them. It also imbued them preternatural speed allowing them to run circles around enemies and evade and even counter their attacks.

 

One such member of this village Analalie Wintre, grew bored of this lifestyle and petitioned the elder to allow her a life beyond the mountains. Though she was but a teenager she knew this was not her path. Analalie knew the one condition this could be achieved and accepted it. The elder was loathe to let such a talented warrior and practioner of the Gingan to go but as is the way of their people allowed her to walk her own path. He used a memory wipe jutsu that made her forget everything and dropped her off in the Land of Snow.

 

This was the beginning of the Silver Eye in the known world. She grew up in her new adopted land and harnessed her ability, never truly knowing how or why she had it let alone where it came from. When she came upon Wulf and started a family she decided to write everything she knew about it on a scroll. She gave the scroll to the Raikage explaining that it should only ever be given to a shinobi of the clan that the Raikage felt was worthy.

 

When the Gingan is activated the users eyes change as follows: the sclera become black, the iris becomes a pine green and the pupil become a glowing silver.

 

The Gingan requires the wielder’s chakra while activated, though due to the Kuromatsu clan body's natural affinity towards it the costs are reduced. A transplanted or stolen eye requires three times the cost to activate and maintain, twice the cost for shinobi with [Subtle Element: Lightning]

 

Requirements: While the Gingan is activated, all advanced regeneration is suspended.

 

Activation/Upkeep: The Gingan may be activated in the Setup Phase as a standard action and may be deactivated during any phase as a Free Action. The upkeep and activation cost of the Gingan are paid at the end of the user's Setup Phase. IF a character is unable to pay the upkeep cost of the Gingan, it is deactivated automatically at the end of their Setup Phase during that turn.

 

The Gingan must be trained by a user, or by following the Hidden Scroll of the Kuromatsu. This must be a [10] post training with either medium. Any member of the Kuromatsu may engage in training.

I like seeing a keen interest on making new things with new members but before a mod looks at this I can say this is too strong. That being said, you should look at approved Bloodlines and look how they are structered and none of you tiers have a cost. Everything would have to cost at least 1 SP (skill point).

 

+50% evasion is quite a lot. My character for example has 2200 evasion and at a 50% increase would make her impossible to hit. Everything here is to strong and has no drawback. As for the Genjutsu resistence, we use Concentration which is outlined on the main site for what it does. 

 

Also Im not sure what the sustained chakra is? Do you mean +10% chakra regeneration?

[Niasitari]

I think when I read through I misunderstood the layout. I'll work on that! 

 

I thought of sustained chakra as chakra that cannot be recovers during the effects of the ability. I May again have misunderstood a rule here and will need to change accordingly!

Hey! So I can see the bones of what you're going for here, but I think you're going to have a more fundamental problem than formatting before you can get this approved. From what I can see, this effect is very very similar to what the Byakugan does. On techniques and characters we don't mind people using similar ideas, but for Bloodlines we have a rule that requires each clan / bloodline to have its own "Design Space" that doesn't step on the toes of others. If two ideas are too close, we instead encourage players to try and join the existing clan and maybe take some of their ideas into custom skills for their character. The things that feel too close to Byakugan to me is the concept of 360 degree vision that gives bonus Evasion. 

 

Evasion bonuses are general enough that the Byakugan doesn't lay claim to them, but the RP style effect of 360 degree vision is something I feel would be unique to them.

Quick note, as this may have an impact on your clan. I didn't realise at first but Shirubaai is romaji. We work to avoid that where we can, there's no English for them to bastardise so romanising the language doesn't really work that well. We can do it with kanji instead.

 

Gingan would be silver eye, 銀眼, and probably works better. 

 

Obvs you're still working on this, but I figure if we fix that name up to start with we might make some positive steps elsewhere rather than reediting it all at the end.

[Niasitari]

Oh thank you!

This is a very well done first attempt at a bloodline. There's still a few things that need to be fixed, but we can get into them if you return. That aside, like I said via PM, I am moving the custom threads of inactive players to dead. If you'd like to go forward with this bloodline in the future, feel free to reach out to me and we'll work on getting it approved (or reach out to Pope, I know you too are close IRL).
