Attribute:N/A Other:N/A X1 = $10 Before: $10 Current: $20 Purchasing: Blade of A Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms Weapon Type: Katana Size: Medium Level: 10 1 Special: Sentient Thought, Insubstantial Body, Scattered Union, Blanket of Blossoms, Graceful Suffocation Description: The Alchem Clan. A once proud clan of righteous ninja, who had the power to transform the very earth itself into other forms of matter. The Alchem Clan of today respect life, and know that the art of human Alchemy is the greatest sin against god they could ever create. In the past, the Clan's most rebellious members did not protect this sacred vow. They performed experiments against god, trying to become masters of human life. In many of respects, they failed, often with disastrous results that destroyed the unlucky alchemists. Some of their experiments succeeded. The Alchem Clan created a well of incredibly powerful super weapons. Each one had abilities that were never seen in normal weapons. They were steel, yet they were not. These weapons lived, they thought and moved all on their own. Some of them possessed great strength. Others possessed great Wisdom. Some of them had the power to change form. The weapons were imbued with a power that, the Clan leaders understood, could only come from the Forbidden Art. They confronted the members of their clan, and called out the perpetrators, several alchemists who has fashioned these wonderful weapons. They described the method of creating these weapons, the vile and wicked process, which they had discovered upon seeing the weapons. ”Hundreds of Souls, ripped from their body in unholy crimes. Several hundred weapons lifeless, and dull, the soul rejecting its metal sarcophagus. Few weapons find a binding connection. Few weapon come to consciousness, imbued with the soul of a human whose life was extinguished. Immortal, and indestructible are these sins against god. Forever hidden, it is our only choice of action.” Special prisons were designed for the weapons. The weapons could not be unmade, and the souls could not be detached, but they could be pulled apart, their powers dimmed, their might broken. The Alchem Clan altered the minds of these weapons, forcing from them their identities, their true names. These names were given to the God of Death, and were locked away inside of his head, inside of his palace. This knowledge could be moved, taken from the weapons, and unable to be recalled by any but a human with a soul that is compatible with the trapped one. The weapons were still extremely powerful, and very dangerous. To protect everyone involved, prisons were designed. The weapons would be hidden, as weapons. The Alchem crafted the failed experimental weapons, each holding a life force, but not mind, into living prisons of metal. The true weapons were hidden within, and the living souls distorted their identity, and silence their power. Alchemic symbols were given to each shell, ensuring it to be unlocked only by one who knew the name of the true weapon, or was of the Alchem Clan, and was strong enough the break the seals themselves. The exact number of these weapons is unknown, but there is assumedly only thirteen, one to each Alchem creator, but since the weapons were never recorded, this number is unreliable. One such creator was Alchem Fhaju. Fhaju was an artist, and used his Alchemy to construct beautiful homes and works of art. He viewed this weapon as his greatest masterpiece. Fhajou created the blade that would become this sword with his own alchemy, and in it, he transferred his desire for an artful soul to be compatible with the metal. After hunting down several scores of artists, Fhajou would one who was a flower arranger. The flower shop owner bonded with the metal, creating a blade obsessed with crafting flowers. In its most released form, the blade would actually turn into a field full of flower petals, a tribute to the soul's wishes. The soul was not the only one to gain his own wishes. The Blade of One Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms, like the rest of the soul-imbued weapons, was doomed to a fate of limbo, its memories eradicated, and its form sealed inside of a second weapon. On the gallows, its creator actually requested a name for its sealed form. He requested that the Fabulous Katana was to be placed into a straight sword, with no marks, or anything else, that would tell it apart. Let some lucky warrior discover it and use it, even if not how Fhajou originally intended the grandest of weapons to be. Sentient ThoughtDescription: Being the Embodiment of a long lost soul, the weapon or armor in question is able to think for itself, and, if possible, move on its own accord (of course, this does not apply to a chestplate, that cannot move to begin with, but would apply to, say, a whip) to a certain degree. Effect: Weapon can Talk Freely with the character. It can move on its own Cost: $5 (Purely RP Purposes) Insubstantial BodyDescription: Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms is usually in a state referred to as the "Dormant” state. In this form, the weapon appears as nothing more than a normal Katana, albeit one with a strange aura surrounding it. When commanded, Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms takes on the form that spawns its name. The blade itself will dissolve, leaving the user holding nothing but the hilt (which can be dropped or let go of, without losing control of the petals), as thousands of small particles of pink-red chakra scatter into the air. These particles are all inexplicably linked to the user, so they require nothing more than thought to maneuver them. Despite how they move, destroying the entire sword in this form is impossible, although attacking all of the petals at once MIGHT give the attacker a brief moment of armistice until the petals can swarm in on them again. Effect: As long as the jutsu "Chire” is active, this weapon cannot be "Un-Equipped” but does not take up the user's hands, leaving them open to use handseals. All jutsu that would "Break,” "Un-Equip,” "Make Useless for the Remainder of Battle,” or "Destroy” this weapon (or anything similar) do not do their intended function. Instead, this weapon is unable to attack, or use, any jutsu that involve this weapon directly, for one turn. Scattered UnionDescription: Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms is usually in a state referred to as the "Dormant” state. In this form, the weapon appears as nothing more than a normal Katana, albeit one with a strange aura surrounding it. When commanded, Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms takes on the form that spawns its name. The blade itself will dissolve, leaving the user holding nothing but the hilt (which can be dropped or let go of, without losing control of the petals), as thousands of small particles of pink-red chakra scatter into the air. Since the Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms are inhabited by a single, once living soul, they can be manipulated on their own, without direction from the user. This form of attack is undoubtedly weaker than normal, but the user is able to do multiple things simultaneously. Effect: As long as the jutsu "Chire” is active, this weapon can attack on its own, once per turn. While it attacks, the user may still attack, defend, or do any actions the user normally would. As long as the weapon is attacking by this effect, all damage it would deal is halved. Damage is based PURELY on base damage, and stat modifiers, nothing else. The user can choose to attack the enemy with the weapon on purpose, canceling this effect until that turn ends. This effect does not apply to any techniques used by this weapon, or any techniques that require this weapon to use, or any techniques that at all are related to this weapon. This effect cannot be used during the turn that the user uses a jutsu that specifically requires The Blade of A Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms, nor in the turn that follows it. This ability is deemed "Inactive" or "Unuseable" for the remainder of battle, or until the jutsu "Chire" ends, if three or more Area of Effect Jutsu successfully hit the scattered weapon. The AoE all have a 90% chance to hit the weapon immediately, but the weapon gains its own dodge roll to try and evade them. Blanket of BlossomsDescription: Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms is usually in a state referred to as the "Dormant” state. In this form, the weapon appears as nothing more than a normal Katana, albeit one with a strange aura surrounding it. When commanded, Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms takes on the form that spawns its name. The blade itself will dissolve, leaving the user holding nothing but the hilt (which can be dropped or let go of, without losing control of the petals), as thousands of small particles of pink-red chakra scatter into the air. These particles then begin to rain down, like a gently drifting blanket. The user can move in between these blossoms, since they move in order to conceal without cutting their own master. As they fall even faster, and begin to surround the user more and more, the enemy will inevitably lose sight of the user. This means that they will have no idea where to look for attacks, while the user has more and more time to prepare accurately. Effect: For Every turn that the jutsu "Chire” is active, the user will gain an amount of Accuracy every turn equivalent to X. (X=2^(z+1)) (Z=Number of Turns that "Chire” Has Been Active) The opponent will also lose an amount of Evasion every turn equivalent to X. (X=2^(z+1)) (Z=Number of Turns that "Chire” has been active). When the jutsu "Chire” ends, these bonuses/reductions are immediately removed. If the jutsu "Chire” is used again, then the equation begins at its beginning all over again. Requirements: Scattered Union Credit: To Cntr for the idea of the math from Aisuhime Graceful SuffocationDescription: Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms is usually in a state referred to as the "Dormant” state. In this form, the weapon appears as nothing more than a normal Katana, albeit one with a strange aura surrounding it. When commanded, Thousand Falling Cherry Blossoms takes on the form that spawns its name. The blade itself will dissolve, leaving the user holding nothing but the hilt (which can be dropped or let go of, without losing control of the petals), as thousands of small particles of pink-red chakra scatter into the air. With the field totally coated in these particles, the user can attack more than one enemy at once, since particles rest only inches or less from all of the user's foes at one time. Attacking like this will require that the user guide the petals themselves, to ensure that their allies are not hit in these swarm-type attacks. Effect: While the jutsu "Chire” is active, this weapon's attacks are all considered "AoE”, but their cost ratios are raised to reflect the user's current AoE cost ratios. (If user is Chunnin, the weapon uses Chunnin AoE Ratios for cost) This effect cannot be used in conjunction with "Scattered Union,” but both may be present on the weapon at the same time (you simply cannot activate both of them in the same turn). This effect does not apply to any techniques used by this weapon, or any techniques that require this weapon to use, or any techniques that at all are related to this weapon. Cost: $20 For a basic level 1 - 20 Posts must be done in a quest to enable the special effects. Quote
