 Tenseigan | Reincarnation Eye | 転生眼

First unlocked by the brother to the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the Tenseigan (lit. Reincarnation Eye), is an evolution of the Byakugan produced when the White Eyes are allowed to mingle with the potent chakra latent within members of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Though not necessarily common within the clan, the bloodline's frequency of appearance has increased since the clan has abandoned the practice of sealing their eyes within a mystic container, also referred to as the "Tenseigan".

When dormant, the Tenseigan appears very similarly to the Byakugan. Its wielders have white, lavender, or grey eyes with mostly unseen pupils, though this has been known to vary based on time and lineage. When activated, the Tenseigan spills out from the user's pupils with a vibrant, icy, hue. The wielder's pupil darkens to a dark blue, while the rest of the iris fades from white to a rich azure hue. The Tenseigan's activation abandons the veins that bulge naturally from a Byakugan wielder's temples when their kekkei genkai is active.

Similar to the Byakugan, many of the Tenseigan's natural abilities are bound to its wielder's vision. Though the Tenseigan loses the 360 degree vision expansion of the Byakugan, it maintains a similar level of visual acuity and, with training, telescopic vision. The Tenseigan retains the Byakugan's capacity to see chakra in all of its spectrums and to accurately perceive a creature's tenketsu.

In additional to exceptional visual prowess, the Tenseigan is the key to unlocking a potent amount of chakra latent in members of the Ōtsutsuki clan. This chakra may be manipulated freely by a wielder of the Tenseigan and can be used to augment techniques or ,at later stages of mastery, has the potential to be wrapped around its wielder as a powerful augmentation to any natural abilities they may possess. Alongside this latent chakra, the Tenseigan allows its inheritors the ability to absorb chakra from other techniques based on contact and, after infecting a target with their own Tenseigan Chakra, assimilate chakra directly from a target's chakra circulatory system.
Restrictions: Ranks of the following skills may be purchased once every 20 levels. Advanced Regeneration is suspended while this bloodline is active. 
 
 

Tenseigan Activation/Upkeep

• 5% total chakra •
 

 

 

 

 


 

Tenseigan Vision - Rank [ - ]

Effect: While the Tenseigan is active, a character with this skill’s Accuracy, and Evasion are increased by 1.25x per rank in this skill, with ‘x’ being equivalent to the wielder’s level. The value of ‘x’ may never be less than 'y', where 'y' is equivalent to 20 + 10 for each rank of this skill, beyond the first. All statistical bonuses provided by this skill may not exceed 1.5x the base value of the individual statistics.

Description: The Tenseigan's visual acuity is comparable to its predecessor, allowing its inheritors to perform great feats of agility. Though it is initially weak, the Tenseigan's optical prowess far exceeds a standard eye, and progressively allows wielders access to incredibly telescopic vision.

Total Ranks: 4

Cost: -1

 

Tenseigan Focus - Rank [ - ]

Effect: While the Tenseigan is active, Genjutsu performed by an opponent of equal or lesser rank than a character with this skill incur a 10% reduction to total Ghost Damage, and effect per rank in this skill. The duration of status effects applied in this way are reduced by 1 turn per 2 ranks of this skill, to a minimum of 1. This skill may not stack with other skills that reduce the effectiveness of Genjutsu.

Description: The ability to see chakra in its various forms is a rare gift. While the Tenseigan is active, the effects of Genjutsu are greatly diminished against those who wield the Tenseigan's visual abilities. Similar to the abilities granted by the Byakugan, the Tenseigan's ability to bypass Genjutsu and see through to the true nature of things comes naturally and easily to members of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Total Ranks: 4

Cost: -1

 

Tenseigan Chakra - Rank [ - ]

Effect: While the Tenseigan is active, this character gains an additional tank statistic called “Tenseigan Chakra”. Each rank in this skill increases the total value of “Tenseigan Chakra” by 150. Tenseigan Chakra may be substituted for any other chakra cost aside from the Tenseigan upkeep. If a technique has at least 50% of its chakra paid for with Tenseigan Chakra, it also inflicts the status effect “Celestial Judgement” for two turns in addition to its other effects. “Tenseigan Chakra” does not naturally regenerate.

Description: After awakening the Tenseigan, members of the Ōtsutsuki find themselves suddenly gifted with an excess surplus of potent chakra that serves to greatly augment their own. This chakra is flexible and strong, able to be re-purposed for almost any situation. Advanced wielders of the Tenseigan have been known to clad themselves in this chakra and greatly increase their fighting ability.

Total Ranks: 4

Cost: -1

 

Tenseigan Absorption - Rank [ - ]

Effect: While the Tenseigan is active, this character increases their block range against Chakra-based attacks by +5 per rank in this skill. Additionally, blocking Chakra-based attacks while the Tenseigan is active replenishes an amount of Tenseigan Chakra equal to 5x% of the blocked damage, where X is equal to the current rank in this skill that this character has. This may not allow the user's Tenseigan Chakra to exceed its normal maximum. The additional block range granted by this skill does not stack with similar skills.

Description: Something of an outlier within the Tenseigan's skill set is the ability to absorb a portion of chakra from attacks used against its wielders. Though it is not a complete absorption inherently, the Tenseigan wielder may learn to expand their absorption abilities to a great level and eventually nullify large portions of incoming damage.

Total Ranks: 4

Cost: -1

 

Celestial Judgment
Effect: Whenever a character afflicted by this status effect is blocked by a character with the Tenseigan currently active, a value equal to 20% of the total damage blocked is replenished to that character's Tenseigan Chakra statistic; this character receives unmodified damage equal to that amount.
Maximum Duration: 4 Turns

Before you post in here, you should know that:

 

 

• The Tenseigan was made with the knowledge and cooperation of the staff. In fact, Cellar Door and cntrstrk14 were key in helping this come to life.
• This is the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki clan. Though they previously were given the Byakugan, it was decided that it was in the best interests to keep the Byakugan unique to the Hyuuga clan, and instead create this variation unique to the Ōtsutsuki.
• THIS BLOODLINE IS SEPARATE AND SIMILAR TO THE BYAKUGAN BY DESIGN. This was done with cooperation from the Byakugan's designer, Cellar Door.
• Tenseigan Chakra is similar to Mokuton Vitality. This was again done in cooperation with, and with permission from, Mokuton's designer: Cellar Door.
• Tenseigan Chakra Mode is not part of this bloodline's core attributes and will be expanded upon later.

Only two things come to mind

Advanced Regen: Is it halted when this is activated?

Tenseigan Chakra: I think this should be 1 rank per 10 levels. I'd say higher, but it doesnt regen naturally, which is a good balance.

Other than that, this looks really shiny and I like it haha

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Actually, this was meant to have a rank per 20 levels restriction and suspend advanced regen. That was just an oversight; the following was added:
 

Restrictions: Ranks of the following skills may be purchased once every 20 levels. Advanced Regeneration is suspended while this bloodline is active.

[Cellar Door]

I can't approve this, because I had a hand in the making, but I hereby validate all statements in regard to my involvement, and give my full approval in an unofficial capacity.

[Hardcore Skittlez]

Made an edit that changed the location of the restrictions line. Nothing else was changed.

[PandaMattMatt]

Don't even care.

[cntrstrk14]

I also can't approve this, but I also validate all statements about my involvement. Azure also had some early involvement which resulted in the creation of this (as Hyuuga clan head).

 

One issue: With Celestial Judgement, what happens if you block multiple strikes of an attack? You say "attack" so I assume you mean "if at least one strike is blocked this activates" but a "this may only activate once per attack" line to clarify would be good.

[Rhap Sodos]

So, thoughts and feedback:  

• I would prefer that Celestial Judgement was a 'unique' effect, and not something that gives your techniques Tenseigan Absorption++. 
• There should  be a clause that the +Block does not stack with other abilities passive abilities (e.g. "Guard Expertise"). 
• I feel like the +Block max range should be more in line with Path of the Guardian (+15 for 5SP vs. +20 for 4SP). I know that's it not as good since it only works against Chakra, but Guard Expertise is the province of Path of the Defender. I'd feel the same about any bloodline that gave a passive +Crit chance (alla Sinister Calling). 

I'm also iffy about the Tenseigan Chakra. I understand that you Cellar Door is cool with you using the ability, but that's something that is very much so Mokuton's "thing". I get the nod towards the Byakkugan because of lore, but on the same hand the Senju clan are descended from Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, not Hamura. Feels like you're 'crossing the streams' a bit. 

• If you're going for a "Tenseigan Chakra Mode" feel, I think it would work better as an activated ability. Since Advanced Regen is halted when the other parts of the bloodline is active, I think it would be a cool balance and compromise to be like - You don't get advanced regen, however you do get access to this unique chakra pool. It would give it a different 'feel' than Mokuton. 

[Hardcore Skittlez]

In order:

 

• Celestial Judgment has been changed, though a level of Tenseigan Chakra replenishment remains, as it exists partially as a way to replenish that chakra statistic, given that it does not replenish other than Tenseigan Absorption.
• The discussion here removes the necessity for this line.
• The block range increase only applies to Ninjutsu and Hybrids, and is one of two very limited ways of replenishing Tenseigan Chakra. Given the limitations, could I get you to reconsider? The baseline numbers were based on the Byakugan's bonus to crit, which is +5 per rank-- higher than Sinister Calling.

   

  The Ōtsutsuki clan in canon are renowned for having "powerful" chakra- the Senju only have it because this was what they inherited from Hagoromo. The idea was that it would be something that could build into mechanics like the Tenseigan Chakra Mode while also serving as inherent limitation for such a presumably powerful mechanic, a la Sage Mode. However, as the Tenseigan Chakra Mode is a ways away, I can understand that not really being considered for the core bloodline here.

   

• The Tenseigan Chakra is only available while the Tenseigan is active. Otherwise, it is a stat that sits there and does nothing. It is not as powerful or versatile as other bonuses granted via the Mokuton or the Nankan bloodline in this regard, as it is both less than the total value on both(each coming to 1000 bonus chakra), and can be locked down by shutting out the Tenseigan with various status effects. I could be misinterpreting what you mean, though?

Discussed in skype, changes made:

 

Absorption does not stack with any other similar effects, reduced to 5% returned chakra per rank, down from 10.

 

Celestial Judgment changed a handful of times to finally trigger only from blocks.

 

Clarified that Tenseigan Chakra is only available for use while the bloodline is active.
