Eechi-go Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) .:Sokuryokudo [Eternal Acceleration]:. "Now, I understand how the council of Kumogakure no Sato feels about experimenting on a select race of people, or, to put it in better terms, those whom hold onto a genetic bloodline. However, I feel as if the Sokudo have an incredible power that would be foolish not to tap into. As anyone who has run great distances here knows, and I am certain all you fine ninja have, you'll notice that the muscles in your legs quickly contract once you've reached your limit, forcing you to slow down and rest. This is not the case with the Sokudo. Unlike normal humans, I've noticed that their muscles never suffer under increased friction, nor do their muscles ever become tired. From simply studying them, I've come to the conclusion that they are constantly pumping adrenaline to their legs, giving them an eternal ‘fight or flight' instinct that's imprinted into their genes. This is a very interesting development, as I'm sure you can all see. I implore you all, I simply wish to study these people, and if we're lucky, I might just be able to harness their boundless energy, and create the ultimate power source. Thank you for your time, gentlemen.” -Lynx of the Scientific Development Department of the NCIA .:Toko Yakushin [Endless Dash]:. The most easily recognized symptom of the Sokuryokudo gene, the Toko Yakushin is what the Sokudo are known the most for. Due to the Sokudo's overactive ‘fight or flight' instinct, adrenaline is constantly flowing into the muscles that would allow them to increase their velocity over a long-term setting. Their muscles do not tire or wear down, resembling an effect of one of the Celestial Gates when activated. The clan member can continue accelerating, even to the point where they'd begin to suffer bodily harm from the g-force speeds at which they move at. The clan member can reach speeds up to about 150% their normal running speed before friction builds up around the ninja, beginning to burn their skin off. This side-affect can only wear off if the user comes to a complete stop, but that itself has it's own repercussions. Restrictions: -Cannot have ‘Sealed Taijutsu‘ or ‘Poor Stamina Manipulation‘. -This bloodline cannot be stolen under any circumstances. Notice: Any skill, jutsu, and/or ability that would effectively increase the users speed may still be applied, but may not break the 1.5x base speed max as per the normal rules. Once up to this point, the users speed may only be increased further through the use of this bloodline, and by this bloodline alone unless specifically stated otherwise.

If the ninja‘s speed stat would ever pass 1.5x it‘s original base, the ninja enters ‘Critical Friction‘ While in this state, the ninja receives 10% of their speed stat as damage to their health each turn. If the ninja wishes to stop this effect, they must come to a complete stop, leaving them vulnerable for 1 turn, in addition to losing all of their bonuses. Cannot exceed 2x the user's base speed.

(-2) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .:Zensenfuraito [Fight and Flight]:.With oversensitive instincts comes not only offensive capabilities, but defensive as well. Probably the most well hidden secret of the Sokudo is their Zensenfuraito. As the clan member increases their velocity, their awareness also increases, as well as their instinctive ticks that allow them to avoid incoming threats. This ability has been hardwired into the clan members brain, working in conjunction with the Toko Yakushin in order to ensure the member's survivability rate. This ability is passive, however, and still manages to affect the clan member, even if they aren't moving constantly.Rank Requirements:1 – Level 15; Rank 1 of Toko Yakushin2 – Chuunin Rank; Rank; Rank 2 of Toko Yakushin3 – Jounin Rank ; Rank 3 of Toko Yakushin4 – Level 65; Rank 4 of Toko YakushinRank 1: For each 100 points in this ninja‘s speed, the ninja also gains an additional 5% to Dodge all incoming non-genjutsu attacks.

(-4)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.:Kaen Senku [blaze Runner]:.As the Sokudo increase speeds 150% over their typical running speed, they begin building up an intense amount of friction around their body, leaving a layer of flames surrounding them, harming them and any other who dare touch them in this state. This state is known to the clan as ‘Critical Friction'. Resembling the ‘Wonder Gate' of the Celestial Gates, the user can essentially run in circles around their opponent, a blazing aura ensnaring them within a flaming cage. The idea of this ability is to continue pushing the clan member's speed to the limit, increasing the blaring flames until they reach their highest possible peak. Though this branch of the bloodline isn't used very often, there are quite a few daredevils within the clan who will willingly put themselves in danger in order to finish a scuffle. Once mastering this branch, the ninja gain certain immunities to the long term effects this branch may have.Rank Requirements:1 – Level 15; Rank 1 of Toko Yakushin2 – Level 30 Rank; Rank 2 of Toko Yakushin3 – Level 60 ; Rank 3 of Toko Yakushin4 – Level 75; Rank 4 of Toko YakushinRank 1: While in the state ‘Critical Friction‘, the ninja deals an additional 5% damage to the opponent while using all forms of basic attacks, weapon attacks, taijutsu, and certain ninjutsu. Also, when the opponent comes into physical contact with this ninja through means of basic attacks, weapon attacks, taijutsu, and certain ninjutsu, they receive 5% damage of the attack they had just preformed. So long as the ninja has this skill, they take 2% less damage from being in ‘Critical Friction‘.

Maelstrom Posted August 8, 2008 Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) If the ninja‘s speed stat would ever pass 1.5x it‘s original base, the ninja enters ‘Critical Friction‘ Just making sure I'm on the right page here, but this doesn't mean that the user can increase their speed stat past 1.5x the base, right?
