Unit II Pits Challenge

Name: Form II: The Way of the Great Maccao
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Self, Varies

Description: The second developed form of Saber Combat which is also known as The Contention Form or, prior to arrival on the origin continent Makashi. Regarded as the Duelist form, the Chromatica are taught this form upon completing lessons of the Shii-Cho so that they may spar and practise their combat within the clan. Described as elegant and focused, the form emphasised fluid and precise motions, relying less upon strength and hack and slash actions, but on aimed jabs and cuts. The form is best utilised when in single target combat. Where as the form excels in saber, and by extention bladed weapon, combat, the form is rather ineffective when dealing with ranged weaponary. The form is best when wielding a single saber in a single hand leaving one free to wield The Force when incorporating Form VI, however Makashi alone with it's one handed form is designed for direct and immediate movements. This Form specializes in counter Kenjutsu based combat allowing the user a set radius in which they can parry incoming Kenjutsu strikes to mitigate, deflect or even nullify damage from them.
Rank - Makashi Radius (Saber Type Bonus)
D - 1 ft (One Handed & Reverse Grip = +1 ft)
C - 2 ft (Dual Wield = +2 ft
B - 3 ft (Two Handed = +3 ft)
A - 4 ft (Whip = +4 ft)
S - 5 ft (Pole-Arm & Whip = +5 ft)
*Within entire Makashi Radius the user can parry incoming Kenjutsu strikes Equal to their speed, Within Half of Makashi Radius the user can parry incoming Kenjutsu strikes up to 1 Tier Level higher & finally within 1 Quarter of Makashi Radius the user can parry incoming Kenjutsu Strikes Up to 2 Tier Levels higher than their own speed.
This Twilight Sider's Makashi Radius = 6 ft Radius

Name: Saber Style: Pole-arm

Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description:  Plasma Saber's come in various styles, regardless of the type however all types of Plasma Sabers require one to be committed to their mastery as splitting ones focus among different Saber Styles usually results in being unable to ever grasp mastery over a particular type. On the other hand sticking to one restricts ones ability to master different types of Saber Weapons and blend the use of them together to increase ones versatility in combat. This particular technique focuses on those which are wielded with one or two hands, which include the Saber Pike & Saber-Staff Sabers. In comparison to the others these styles of Saber's have the longest reach making them ideal for out-ranging opponents or overwhelming those who require close range to be effective. However in comparison they are slower than the other types in regards to combat due to their unwieldy nature requiring focus to be skilled at their use and anticipating an opponents movement in preparation for a strike. Like all Saber Styles one must constantly refine their chosen style and overtime if additional saber styles aren't chosen the Pro's and Con's of this style will become evident.
Mastery (Word Count Req) - Pole-arm Style Perks (Faults)
Novice (D = 750, C = 1000) - Pole-Arm Kenjutsu techniques use a 1.5 Scale Modifier (Spinning Saber-staff users preform their Kenjutsu at Tier- Levels in regards to speed, the lowest Speed is D- however they can Equal-Rank burn Midichlorians each P.T to offset this and use normal speed)
Adept (B = 1500, A = 2000) - Pole-Arm Kenjutsu techniques use a 2x Scale Modifier (Saber-staff users preform their Kenjutsu at Tier- Levels in regards to speed, the lowest Speed is D-)

Description: Plasma Saber's come in various styles, regardless of the type however all types of Plasma Sabers require one to be committed to their mastery as splitting ones focus among different Saber Styles usually results in being unable to ever grasp mastery over a particular type. On the other hand sticking to one restricts ones ability to master different types of Saber Weapons and blend the use of them together to increase ones versatility in combat. This particular technique focuses on those which are wielded in one hand, which include the Curved Hilt & Shoto Plasma Sabers. In comparison to the others these styles of Saber's are difficult to fight against due to their positioning making it harder to gauge where the plasma saber will end up. However in comparison they are more easily knocked back due to the strange positioning not being as effective at defense in comparison to the other saber types. Like all Saber Styles one must constantly refine their chosen style and overtime if additional saber styles aren't chosen the Pro's and Con's of this style will become evident.
Mastery (Word Count Req) - Reverse Blade Style Perks (Faults)
Novice (D = 750, C = 1000) - Requires Reaction- Tier to dodge/block strikes. (Standard Receive additional contact-range knock back if user doesn't block with Strength Tiers)
Adept (B = 1500, A = 2000) - Requires Reaction Tier to dodge/block strikes. (Curved Hilt receive additional short-range knock back if user doesn't block with Strength Tiers)
Master (S = 3000) - Requires Reaction+ Tier to dodge/block strikes (Shoto recieve additional short range knock back if user doesn't block with Strength+ Tiers)
*Note: When attempting to master a style one starts at the lowest word count that their rank can currently get and does a Weekly Training to get it before moving to the next lowest and so on. If obtaining a style at a later rank then they use that one, however if one gets to 1000 then the next training will also be 2000, and if they still have one more it too will be 2000. Curved Hilt wielders do the word count at Half, Shoto wielders do the word count at a Third (1/3rd) the number of words required.

Force Rend - D-Rank Speed, D-Rank Defense Bypassing Plasma Damage if it lands, Force Sense req. to see

Name: Force Rend
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank (C Midi-chlorian Price)
Class: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: (1 P.T Cooldown after use, Dark Side) This is a basic force technique which involves a projection of the force up to 5 ft away which moves at D-rank speeds incapable, like most Force techniques, of being seen with the naked eye. Upon impacting an opponent it is geared towards pulling them in two different directions resulting in inflicting D-rank defense bypassing Plasma Release damage while depending on the skill of the user it can be used to great effect to inflict internal bleeding though those with D-rank Spirit tiers are unaffected by this effect.
Rank of User - Internal Bleeding
D - N/A

Midi-Chlorians Currently imbued into the C-rank Staff = B-rank

C-rank Midi-Chlorian Price = Force Push incoming at Crashing Ground Speeds able to be detected by A-rank Sensory, to knock Ariel flying back unless she possesses C-rank+ Strength and if she collides with the ground due to the Force Push she sustains C-rank Physical Damage.

Saber Kenjutsu: Thrust + Saber Style: Polearm (Saber-Staff) = 2x Scale Multiplier however is preformed at Tier- Speed (Dropping from B to B-) to deal C-rank Plasma Release Physical Damage.
Topaz Gem = Can set combustible materials ablaze if they are B-rank or below dealing Fire Release damage equal to the rank of the material.

Name: Saber Kenjutsu: Thrust
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: Those within the Chromatica Clan have learned how to use their Force-Sabers in combat and train from a young age in order to be proficient in the use of it. Thrust is one of the most basic techniques as the unique weight of a Force-Saber can throw off those who do not know how the wield it and this technique is one of such that serves to mitigate that effect. Thrust simply entails stabbing their Force-Saber at an opponent, and due to the mixture of Forms as well as Saber Styles it is a very versatile technique. The only commonalities between it is that it is typically done at D-rank speed and upon striking an opponent deals piercing damage, however advanced tiers can be used to strengthen it and Saber configurations determine the damage that is dealt.

Name: Mandalore Metallurgy
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact & Self (Metals, Weapons &/or Equipment)

Description: A unique forging fighting style honed through generations of the Chromatica clan's Mandalore Branch to suit their needs in regards to not only the creation of armor and weaponry by the Civilian members of the clan but likewise temporarily imbuing items with the power of "The Force" in the middle of combat. The true method of doing so involved selecting a bar of durable metal before hammering the bar into a the shape needed; as it was forged, the Force is channeled into the blade, altering the molecular structure of the metal into a reinforced lattice. The forging process is both physically and mentally taxing, the physical stamina (Fatigue Price) and mental fortitude (Word Count) needed to hammer the blade while simultaneously channeling energy being extremely challenging; on completion though, the reinforced lattice both hardened the material and allowed it to conduct "The Force", as well as prepared it for the next steps in the forging process.

Once the shape was forged the Chromatica would then place a Gem either into the hilt (if a weapon) or the center (if armor) of the forged item,  and then would marry the lattices of the crystal and the blade together - this was accomplished by submerging oneself deep into the Force, and then meditating on the blade and crystal until blade, crystal, and smith became as one entity (Weekly Training Topic). Once the lattices were married, the wielder would channel energy through the crystal and into the blade until it began to glow with a nimbus of energy; signifying that the blade had been permanently infused with the Force. Force Imbued equipment required no additional power source, and glow with the power of  "The Force" coursing through them. This glow could manifest itself in multiple ways, however the Voss are known for having a ripple like markings on the blade, while viewing it with non Twilight Side Force Sensory has other Siders see the Force distorted. The quick method was much shorter but requires the user to possess Atomic Release, and involved In-Battle Training but only lasts for a set amount of turns before "The Force" destroys the item is was imbued into.
Rank of Item - Max Midi-chlorians Imbued - Word Count (In-Battle Fatigue Price/Turns till Destroyed)
D - 1/8th of Max - 250 (-5/1)
C - 1/7th of Max - 500 (-10/2)
B - 1/6th of Max - 750 (-15/3)
A - 1/5th of Max - 1000 (-20/4)
S - Quarter of Max - 1500 (-25/5)
*Note: The Gems imbue the equipment with the same effect as those granted to Plasma Sabers.

Name: Force Push
Classification: Fuinjutsu (Taijutsu)
Rank: B (Variable Midi-chlorian Price)
Class: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Mid (Distance Covered), Contact-Short (Knock-back)

Description: (9 P.T Cooldown after use) Force Push is considered one of the more basic of Force Manipulation abilities learned at the higher levels. The user of Force Push channels their midi-chlorians within their Force Seal in to the palm(s) of their hand(s) and expels it then with great force ranging from shoves to explosive force, creating a near invisible impulse depending upon the strength behind the push, wherein weaker pushes require higher levels of sensory to see due to the little saturation compared to the high rank's destructive force capability. The wave can however be seen regardless if they have Force Sensory, while damage is typically dealt by pushing opponents into other objects or off of ledges to smash them into things or inflict fall damage. The difference between a Twilight Sider is that their utilization of The Force is harnessed by seals, as such it can be considered an aberration of the Force which results in distinct differences from the usual technique.
*Twilight: It launches a bludgeoning push which covers to 30 ft at Crashing Ground speeds (B++) and knocks an opponent off their feet or incoming objects away if they lack samurai level strength tiers equivalent to the Midi-chlorian price this sends them flying through the air causing them to be dealt damage if they crash into anything during their flight.
Midichlorian Price (Sensory Req. to Detect, Collision Damage Inflicted) - Knock-back (Voss)
D (S, D) - (+3 ft)
C (A, C) - (+5 ft)
B (B, B) - (+7 ft)
A (C, A) - (+11 ft)
S (D, S) - (+13 ft)

Force Pull used with C-rank Midi-Chlorian Price = Force Pull incoming at Crashing Ground Speeds able to be detected by A-rank Sensory, to pull Ariel towards the Mysterious Individual unless she possesses C-rank+ Strength and if she collides with the staff due to the Force Pull she sustains C-rank Physical Damage.

Saber Kenjutsu: Thrust + Saber Style: Polearm (Saber-Staff) = 2x Scale Multiplier however is preformed at Tier- Speed (Dropping from B to B-) to deal C-rank Plasma Release Physical Damage.
Topaz Gem = Can set combustible materials ablaze if they are B-rank or below dealing Fire Release damage equal to the rank of the material.

Name: Cripple: Stage 1
Classification: Fabrication
Rank: C-rank
Class:Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Eye-Sight

Description: The user gazes at the opponents arm/fore-limb which causes the victim to temporarily lose feeling in said limb. This technique is perhaps the most known of Fabrications simply due to it's simplicity yet ability to take away the combat ability of opponents giving a brief respite or window to counter-attack. Upon losing feeling in said limb it become unusable due to numbness with it often just falling limply to their side until the duration is done after which it once again is able to be used.

Name: Force Pull
Classification: Fuinjutsu (Taijutsu)
Rank: B (Variable Midi-chlorian Price)
Class: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Mid (Distance Covered), Contact-Short (Knock-back)

Description: (9 P.T Cooldown after use) Force Pull is considered one of the more basic of Force Manipulation abilities learned at the higher levels. The user of Force Pull channels their midi-chlorians within their Force Seal in to the palm(s) of their hand(s) and pulls it then with great force ranging from drags to implosive force, creating a near invisible impulse depending upon the strength behind the pull, wherein weaker pulls require higher levels of sensory to see due to the little saturation compared to the high rank's destructive force capability. The draw can however be seen regardless if they have Force Sensory, while damage is typically dealt by pulling opponents into other objects or into sabers to impale them onto things or inflict fall damage if used on an airborne target. The difference between a Twilight Sider is that their utilization of The Force is harnessed by seals, as such it can be considered an aberration of the Force which results in distinct differences from the usual technique.
*Twilight: It launches a bludgeoning pull which covers to 30 ft at Crashing Ground speeds (B++) and drags an opponent off their feet or incoming objects closer if they lack samurai level strength tiers equivalent to the Midi-chlorian price this yanks them flying through the air causing them to be dealt damage if they crash into anything during their flight.
Midichlorian Price (Sensory Req. to Detect, Collision Damage Inflicted) - Knock-back (Voss)
D (S, D) - (+3 ft)
C (A, C) - (+5 ft)

The wave can however be seen regardless if they have Force Sensory, while damage is typically dealt by pushing opponents into other objects or off of ledges to smash them into things or inflict fall damage. Similar to certain neutral force techniques this technique has slightly different effects depending on the alignment of the Force sensitive Chromatica.
*Neutral: It launches a concussive push which covers up to 30 ft at Crashing Ground speeds and knocks an opponent off their feet or incoming objects away if they lack strength tiers equivalent to the Midi-chlorian price and sends them flying through the air typically carried along by the Force Push.  
*Light: Focused on knock-back, however inflicts pain rather than damage.
*Dark: Focused on damage, however lowers the knock-back to Contact.
*Void: Forced on speed, boosting it to B-rank++ Speeds however lowers the knock-back to Contact & inflicts pain rather than damage.
