All That Glitters [Arkay's Techs]

Name: Swift Elegance
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: For someone like Arkay, getting to a place quickly isn't really the important bit. Getting there stylishly and with everyone's eyes on him takes priority. His step is slow but exaggerated, his body swinging and swaying as he moves, his body leaning subconsciously to accentuate the curves and lines of his body under his clothing. Due to this, he only moves at D-Rank- speeds when using this style however anyone watching him suffers a loss of 1 from their seduction limit each round they watch him. If they examine him closely using examination techniques or muscle tension or similar, this loss is doubled.

His step is slow but exaggerated, his body swinging and swaying as he moves, his body leaning subconsciously to accentuate the curves and lines of his body under his clothing.

Name: Peacock Style: Feather Fan
Classification: Beast Arts
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Description: The feathers of a peacock are massive and usually famed for their beauty and they can be used for many purposes. One such use is to distract a person and make them focus on the user and the feathers they are displaying. When the fan is splayed out, Arkay subtly shifts and moves it behind him as he continues his actions, causing anyone that looks at the Feather Fan to keep their eyes focused on him unless certain things happen. B-Rank reaction+defense tiers or Mantra allow one to break the focus, if Arkay openly attacks anyone under the effects of Feather Fan then all will be freed of it and can't be captured for the rest of that topic. In addition when this is used it makes it much easier for Arkay to make eye contact with the person, however the constant movements take a toll on him, requiring a stamina price each round dependent on Arkay's bounty.

Name: Peacock Style: Wicked Talons
Classification: Beast Arts
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: Tapping into his animalistic lineage, Arkay is capable of extending his nails like vicious talons and using them as emergency weapons if he has to. Mostly he uses them to carve into objects or to intimidate however. Depending on the amount of stamina he uses, the length of the talons as well as the damage they cause changes, in addition it also adds a certain amount of piercing to the claws, making them especially dangerous.

Name: Peacock Style: Fowl Screech
Classification: Beast Arts
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: AoE(30 foot radius)

Description: In times of extreme crisis, Peacocks are known to scream, a scream loud enough and high enough to startle and scare away other animals. Of course, peacocks are smaller than Arkay and Arkay is able to enhance his scream. Due to this, Arkay is able to unleash a horrific scream which causes intense pain and a small stun to anyone within range of it. This doesn't do any damage, only causes pain and stuns, requiring variable defense+reaction tiers to ignore the stun, pain resistance lowers the requirement by two ranks, pain immunity causes immunity. In addition, each level of hearing below normal decreases the requirements by one rank, while each level above normal increases it by one.

Name: Aero Style: Allure of Darkness
Classification: EroBeast Arts
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Self

Description: Through twisting, shifting movements, the Aero Tribe member draws the shadows around themselves and forms it into a skin-tight mist-like covering over their body. The shadow shifts and dances over them, revealing and hiding parts of their body as though a living, breathing strip-tease. Due to this, depending on the amount of stamina used to initiate this technique, anyone watching the Tribe member will have their seduction limit slowly drained unless they possess C-Rank defense+barrier tiers which halves the seduction loss, B-Rank negates it and allows them to view the user normally. Unfortunately, the price to initiate is also recurrent after a number of rounds dependent on the user's bounty.

2 - 1 - D - Each Round
4 - 2 - C - 1 Round

8 - 4 - A - 3 Rounds
10 - 5 - S - 4 Rounds

Name: Aero Style: Pass Without Trace
Classification: Beast Arts
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: The user shifts their body, arms moving around them as though drawing complex symbols in the air before turning and drawing the shadows around them. The shadows lie upon the user like a cloak and allow them to blend into the darkness. Due to this, when out of direct light, the user becomes much harder to spot, requiring reaction tiers dependent on the stamina price used in order to see them. However if they move or are fighting, this is weakened, by two ranks and three ranks respectively, with a minimum of D-Rank.

Name: Relative Sensory: Threat Level
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank(D-Rank blood)
Class: Supplemenetary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: Those with The Gift are able to activate a special form of sight, granting them increased sensory and the ability to pick out important information through colour. This is one of the most basic levels of it. After activating Threat Level, the user's sight is washed out and becomes devoid of colour however they are able to pick out opponents and items that are dangerous or have been used to kill or harm people in recent time. The more dangerous or the more acts it has performed, the more vibrant the colour. They appear as varying shades of red and allow the user to pinpoint people that are actively harmful and to avoid them. The user's bounty determines how long ago this sight takes into account and also how long passes before the blood price needs to be paid again.

Boounty - Time Frame - Rounds before Repayment
D - One Topic Ago/Couple hours - Each round
C - Two Topics Ago/Few Hours - 1 Round
B - Three Topics Ago/Up to a Day - 2 Rounds
A - Four Topics Ago/Up to three days - 3 Rounds
S - Five Topics Ago/Up to a week - 4 Rounds

Name: Relative Sensory: Hidden Threat
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank(3 D-Ranks blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(sight)

Description: Sometimes the threat isn't in plain sight, sometimes it's specifically hidden or kept away. Hidden Threat is designed to notice such things. When activated, the user's sight is washed out and becomes devoid of colour, however hidden weapons and traps are revealed to the user. Hidden weapons show up red, the more vibrant the colour the more dangerous the weapon is, while traps show up as Black with the deeper the black the more dangerous the trap is. Of course, as the user gets stronger, they are better able to break through hiding techniques to discover traps or hidden weapons. However, this is also straining on the eyes, causing the price for this to be taken every so often dependent on the user's bounty.

Name: Relative Sensory: In Plain Sight
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: C-Rank(3 D-Ranks blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self/Varies(Sight)

Description: Spies end up very good at hiding, especially in plain sight. Of course in stressful situations finding a hiding spot can be quite difficult but Relative Sensory can aid with that. When activated, In Plain Sight washes out the user's vision and makes it devoid of colour, however hiding spots become bright white and easy to notice, this also opens access to differing 'Tiers' of Hiding Place, which grant boosts to hiding techniques without recoil due to requiring specific circumstances, however these are only unlocked based on the user's bounty. In addition, this is tiring and requires the blood price to be paid again every so often dependent on the user's bounty.

Bounty - Hiding Places Unlocked - Rounds Before Repayment
D - Crowds/Shady Corners(Tier 1, +1 Rank to Hiding Techs) - Every Round
C - Small Cliques/Benches(Tier 1) - 1 Round
B - Downtrodden Walls/Barrels(Tier 2, +2 Ranks to Hiding Techs) - 2 Rounds
A - Beggars/Hanging from Ledges(Tier 2) - 3 Rounds
S - Underwater/Clinging to roof(Tier 3, +3 Ranks to Hiding Techs) - 4 Rounds

Name: Relative Sensory: Infoskirmish
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: C-Rank(3 D-Ranks blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: When Infoskirmish is activated, the world becomes devoid of colour, apart from things which grant information. These things glow bright white and enable the Spy to hunt them down and collect them. Dependent on their skill, when this is activated, the Spy is able to choose a number of topics to focus on or can narrow down the focus on a single idea to make finding information for it easier. The brighter the glow, the more important the information. If all uses of the technique are tied to a single objective(Minimum 2), then this technique even highlights people that are able to give important information. This is tiring however, requiring the payment to be collected again after a number of rounds dependent on the user's bounty.

D - 1 - Each Round
C - 2 - 1 Round
B - 3 - 2 Rounds

Name: Relative Sensory: Common Goals
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank(C-Rank blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: When this is activated, the user's vision becomes washed out and devoid of colour however it allows the spy to notice something rather important; allies. Now most of the time allies are pretty obvious, however when one is working in subterfuge, it can be difficult to notice if someone is truly allied. With this technique active, the user is able to pick out people that have a common goal to the user or are part of an allied group. People like this glow blue, with more vibrant blues showing closer alignment to the user's goals or group. This has a unique ability when paired with Infoskirmish however, as it changes this sight from allies to allies of a specific info idea, however it requires all of Infoskirmish's parts to be tied to that group, with people allied to that idea or group glowing cyan rather than deeper blue. This is of course tiring, with the payment having to be given every round, or every PT if tied with Infoskirmish.

Name: Relative Sensory: Golden Mark
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank(C-Rank blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: Picking up the right things or taking down the right people is one of the most important things to do as a Spy, after all killing an innocent or grabbing useless papers probably means you won't stay a spy much longer. With this technique active, the user narrows down one of their objectives and their Relative Sensory picks up on and marks out targets that are specific to that objective. The number of objectives one can highlight at once is dependent on the user's bounty, as is the rounds before another payment of blood is made.

Bounty - Number of Objectives - Rounds before Repayment
D - 1 - Each Round
C - 1 - 1 Round
B - 2 - 2 Rounds
A - 2 - 3 Rounds
S - 3 - 4 Rounds

Name: Relative Sensory: Follow The Signs
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: A-Rank(B-Rank blood)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: A strange technique that requires another Relative Sensory technique to be active and takes it over. When done, the blood price is only paid from this technique, although it is paid per technique taken over as with higher skill more can be done at once. When taken over, not only does the user see what the original technique could but also enables the user to follow and track that specific 'Object', such as a mark, over a distance based on the user's bounty. The time it takes before the ability to track fades is also dependent on the user's bounty, as is the rounds before repayment for this technique.

Bounty - Number of 'Sights' Taken Over - Rounds Before Repayment
D - 1 - Each Round
C - 1 - 1 Round
B - 2 - 2 Rounds
A - 2 - 3 Rounds

S - Five Topics Ago/Up to a week - Different Sea, Same level(Above/Below)

Name: Relative Sensory: Intelligent Lounging
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: It gets tiring having to walk around and do the actual work, so some Spies learn how to lie in a specific place and watch it carefully, keeping their body and demeanour calm so they can keep their relative sensory active for a long time. When this is active, the user's Relative Sensory techniques take double the amount of time before payment is taken again. However, the person using the sensory cannot move faster than D-Rank, even by a tier level, as if they do so their Relative Sensory switches off and they need to reactivate it with the normal price. After the user moves and switches off their relative sensory, there is a cooldown before the user can use this technique again, dependent on their bounty.

Name: Death by Lounging
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Varies

Description: Arkay has a very strange way of seducing people, which is to do it without seemingly meaning to. This is of course just a trick but it means that it's very difficult to notice when he is being seductive. This style focuses around long stretches and small movements, arching the body in ways to accentuate every curve and muscle. The movement of his hands and arms over his body help this out but it comes with the issue that this style really cannot be used in combat as it requires slow movements and usually a place to lie down in order to lounge properly. In exchange, it can be used on multiple people at once as long as they keep their eyes on Arkay.

B - 15

Name: Lounging Style: Sleepy Seduction
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: A simple movement, the user simply lies down and positions themselves in such a way that their body is arched, legs usually out or with one cocked back, watching with half-lidded eyes anyone that they are conversing with or that is watching them. The movements are small and simple, but they already begin to work at the mind, getting eyes moving along the curves of the user's body as their clothing presses against it. While in use, anyone watching the user loses 1 from their seduction limit each round, with those using time-slowing or muscle tension losing double that. However they don't realise they are losing seduction unless they possess D-Rank barrier tiers to break out of the reverie.

Name: Lounging Style: Legs for days
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: Requires height of at least 6 feet. With this technique, the user simply lies back and stretches out their legs, letting their clothing press against their legs, showing off the muscles as they stretch. They usually throw in a little wiggle of the toes as well if they are in view. This can be kept up for a set amount of PT based on the user's defense as if it is continued after this, the user will take recoil damage one below their bounty. While this is active however, victims will suffer a loss of 2 from their seduction limit each PT it is in effect. Once finished, it cannot be used again for the rest of the topic. Amusingly, those with leg or foot fetishes suffer 3 seduction loss each PT rather than 2.

C - 3

A - 5
S - 6

Name: Lounging Style: Long Stretch
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: This is almost like the opposite of Legs For Days, rather than stretching their legs, the user stretches their arms up and outwards, pushing their chest up or towards the person or people they are currently trying to seduce. This usually makes their clothes press even tighter to their body, showing off their form. This can only be done for a set number of PT dependent on the user's defense tiers, as after that it causes physical recoil one below their bounty. Anyone watching Arkay during this loses 1 from their seduction limit each PT while anyone with muscle tension or time-slowing loses 2 instead. Unlike Legs For Days this can be used again but has a cooldown equal to the number of PT it was active for.

Name: Lounging Style: Sultry Look
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: Unlike most Lounging Style techniques, this one can only be used on a single target but it is particularly potent. After Arkay locks eyes with a victim, he leans forwards to properly catch their attention and keep them enraptured. During this time he usually bats his eyelashes or slowly licks his lips, keeping his gaze locked with his victim's. Not only does this cause a one time loss of 6 seduction as the target is specifically focused on, it also causes them to entirely lose focus on anyone else unless they possess B-Rank barrier tiers to break away from Arkay's gaze. While this is in effect, depending on Arkay's bounty, the victim suffers a reaction tier drop to anything around them that isn't to do with Arkay. This can only be done to a target once each topic, however the higher the victim's reaction tiers, the longer they are captured due to their greater focus.

Bounty/Reaction - Reaction Drop(Tier Levels) - Duration(PT)
D/None - 2 - 1
C/D - 3 - 2
B/C - 4 - 4
A/B - 5 - 6
S/A - 6 - 8
-/S - N/A - 10

Name: Lounging Style: Sweet Sounds
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Area of Effect(15 foot radius)

Description: A simple technique that can be used to great effect. When any stretching type technique from this style is used, Arkay can accompany it with small noises, groans, moans and sighs as he stretches his body out. Of course, this enhances the experience for anyone watching him and causes additional seduction loss based on the person's hearing and also how close they are. This can only be used once with each type of stretch in a topic.(Rounds down)

Distance - Seduction Loss - Hearing Modifier
Within 1 Foot - 6 - Normal(1x)
Within 3 Feet - 5 - Raised(1.25x)
Within 5 feet - 4 - Heightened(1.5x)
Within 7 feet - 3 - Enhanced(1.75x)
Within 10 feet - 2 - Max(2x)
Within 15 feet - 1 - Above Max(2.5x)

Name: Lounging Style: Comfort Wiggle
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Varies(Sight)

Description: Rolling onto his stomach, Arkay presses down into whatever he is lying on and wiggles his butt around in the air as he gets comfy. Of course, such an overt flirtatious signal is likely to draw attention, exactly as he wants. This is usually accompanied by a yawn and cuddling something to his chest as he moves. This causes a one time loss of 6 seduction to anyone that witnesses it however it has a secondary effect. Within a time limit determined by his speed tier, he is able to perform an action with a reaction requirement buff dependent on his bounty.

Bounty/Speed - PT To Perform - Add. Reaction Required
D/None - 1 - 2 Tier Levels
C/D - 2 - 3 Tier Levels
B/C - 3 - 4 Tier Levels
A/B - 4 - 5 Tier Levels
S/A - 5 - 6 Tier Levels
-/S - 6 - N/A

Name: Lounging Style: Lap Resting
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: A simple technique that can be used on up to two people at once if they are both within contact distance of Arkay. Once initiated, he will proceed to sprawl himself across their lap, wiggling to get comfortable on them and happily using them as pillows. This of course is usually very sensual and involves pressing himself up against them, keeping a sultry look on his features as he does so. This leads to several different effects. First of all, dependent on how depleted the victim's seduction limit is, they need specific barrier tiers to push Arkay off as otherwise they are just too infatuated to bother. Secondly this causes a loss of seduction each round he is in contact with them due to his subtle movements which is determined by his bounty and lastly, this makes any sleight of hand techniques of Arkay's one rank harder to detect.

Bounty - Seduction Loss(Per Round) - S. Limit - Barrier Req.
D - 2 - Full - D
C - 3 - 3/4 - C
B - 4 - 1/2 - B
A - 5 - 1/4 - A
S - 6 - Empty - S

Name: Lounging Style: Soft Touch
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: Requires Lap Resting to be active. Once resting across someone's lap it's suddenly much easier to access all of their more intimate parts, especially in secret. Arkay takes full advantage of this, pressing his body against those he is resting on, shifting his legs and arms to press against their most tender parts and teasing them even further as he does so. Due to this, anyone under the effect of his lap resting takes an additional 2 seduction loss each round this is in effect, however if their seduction limit is emptied, this causes C-Rank natural damage each round it is in effect, until an S-Rank is accumulated. Once an S-rank is accumulated, the opponent is forced to ejaculate and be stunned, however this technique ceases to be effective after that. Once this occurs, the stun is dependent on the victim's barrier tiers, with a Barrier+Nature tier chain of C-Rank being enough to entirely negate the effect of this tech.

Name: All Night Long
Classification: Erojutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact

Description: When you've been used for sex for most of your life, you lose the spark for it. It doesn't mean one can't fake it however and let themselves go for as long as they need to. Arkay has learned this and he has taken advantage of it. If he successfully seduces a person and proceeds to have intercourse with them, after they are done the person will be treated as having their slumber limit entirely depleted as Arkay tires them out. This does take several hours however and can result in Arkay being interrupted while he is... Conducting business. However this also takes 20 stamina from Arkay each time it occurs as it is incredibly tiring. Due to this, if combat begins after finishing, the victim takes a set amount of time to wake up dependent on their barrier tiers.

Name: Sandman Style
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: Arkay learned that fighting is difficult early on when they tried to beat his resistance out of him but that didn't make him less rebellious, it just made him smarter with it. It didn't take him long to find out through this that fighting properly wasn't worth it, it was much better to strike when the opponent was vulnerable... And when was a person more vulnerable than when they were sleeping. This style is specifically focused around murdering sleeping or unconscious opponents and is entirely useless against aware targets and massively weakened against unaware but awake opponents. This technique is difficult to utilise however and has a success chance when utilised of killing an opponent, initially decided by bounty but can be skewed through the use of other techniques.

Bounty - Base Success Chance
D - 2/10
C - 3/10
B - 4/10
A - 5/10
S - 6/10

Name: Sandman Style: Sleeping Beauty
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Contact

Description: When someone is utterly exhausted and sleeping, it is usually a lot harder to wake them up. Due to this, it becomes much easier to kill that person if they are completely out of this. Thus Sleeping Beauty works off of increasing the success chance of Sandman Style based on how empty the victim's slumber limit was before they fell asleep. If it was halved before they fell asleep, then Sandman Style has a +1 to its success chance, if it was completely emptied then this bonus is +2.

Name: Sandman Style: Sweet Lullaby
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact

Description: When the blade misses the mark, sometimes it's best to just hope and pray that the person goes back to sleep rather than fleeing and giving up the chance. Due to this, Arkay has learned how to sing a soft lullaby to ease a person back to sleep if he fails in the use of his Sandman Style. When this is utilised it uses up his Get out of Jail Free and enters a several topic long cooldown based on his bounty, however it stops the opponent from waking up and allows another use of Sandman Style.

Name: Sandman Style: Crimson Love
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: Sometimes the knife just misses as you ram it in but there are always ways around it. This technique can only be activated if Sandman Style failed by only 1. If this occurs, then instead of dying immediately, the victim has the weapon jammed into their body, usually around the chin or neck and immediately starts to bleed profusely and suffocate on their own blood. During this, Arkay holds tight to them, requiring strength higher than his own in order to break free. Once done, dependent on Arkay's bounty, there is a bleed per PT due to the weapon having opened up something rather important. This also requires him to keep a firm grip, forcing him to expend 3 stamina each PT it is active.

Name: Sandman Style: Feathered Kiss
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Contact

Description: Requires pillow or equivalent. When sleeping, there's a good chance that there are pillows or other similar soft objects around. It turns out that killing people is loud and these objects can be used to reduce that noise and lower the chance of getting caught. When Feathered Kiss is used, a pillow or equivalent is placed over the victim's face and pressed down before the knife slides in, acting as a sound concealment technique of a specific rank dependent on the user's bounty. In addition, if used alongside Crimson Love, then the strength requires are increased by two tier levels due to intense confusion and darkness making it harder to break free.

Name: Sandman Style: Jade Caress
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-Rank
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Contact

Description: When poison is introduced into the mix, it can be much harder to wake up when it is coursing through your veins and ruining your ability to act. Arkay knows this all too well and thus finds it much easier to assassinate a poisoned target. When someone is poisoned, success chance for Sandman Style is increased based on the type of poison that the person is suffering from, as some aren't too helpful to an assassin like Arkay.

Type of Poison - Success Chance
Damage - +0
Hallucinogen - +1
Numbing - +1

Name: Sandman Style: The Poison Apple
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: Sometimes the objective is not to kill a person but instead to set them up for something much worse or to put someone off of your trail. With this technique, Arkay has taught himself how to frame someone else for a murder, putting all of the relevant data in place. The amount of time between a murder of his own and when he can frame someone is dependent on his bounty and whether this technique works on the victim before waking them up is dependent on the Sandman Style success chance. If this is successful, rather than killing a person, instead the room they are in is set up to convict them of a previous murder of Arkay's, requiring an Investigation technique of B-Rank or higher to spot the differences and then reaction tiers or an investigation technique of A-Rank or higher in order to spot Arkay's influence.

Description: Some people get lonely, it's just a fact of life and when a pretty person offers them solace and companionship for a night, it can be hard to resist, especially if you're sure they've been flirting with you the entire damn night. Of course, it might just be that someone like Arkay is taking advantage of this. He's very good at convincing people to spend a night with him. This is dependent entirely on the victim's seduction limit and requires a set number of words based on it to be typed out and depending on the depletion, a barrier tier check is then required to ignore the compulsion, unless one doesn't find Arkay attractive.

Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C-Rank (1 stamina per 250 words)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Description: When you just aren't good at fighting, sometimes it's better to just relax and assure everyone around you that you aren't a threat. It's an easy thing to do when you look good and know how to move your body. With this technique, Arkay knows how to change the tone of his voice and his words so that it's difficult to see him as a threat, dependent on his bounty there is a base limit to the barrier tiers required to openly attack him. The length of posts done adds an additional modifier as he weaves his words even better. However if he openly attacks someone, this technique is immediately nullified and cannot be re-established in that topic.

Name: Pretty Little Liar
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-Rank(2 stamina per 250 words)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Description: When you fight as underhanded as Arkay does, it helps to be able to weave a tale as well as any skald or minstrel. These tales needn't be true however but with Arkay's glimmering eyes and sultry tone, it really is hard not to believe what he's saying. This technique is entirely used to lie and earn trust, it cannot be used to compel people and if shown irrefutable proof then something more than a silver tongue might be required. This technique has a base effectiveness based on Arkay's bounty, this being barrier tiers required to see through his lies, however there are also several modifiers at play. Those under the effect of Sweet Little Thing are easier to sway and those with seduction limits lowered by Arkay are even easier to influence, both of them adding to the barrier requirement. However, those of opposing factions and know Arkay isn't of their faction are much harder to convince, causing a massive penalty to the barrier required.

Description: Req. Pirate to have eaten Devil Fruit (Gem Gem Fruit: Model Jade). This fighting style revolves around the use of the properties of Jade spread throughout the body. Due to this being a Gem Fruit, it is not permanently active and instead must be expressed, however this can be done at will. If incapacitated or thoroughly distracted the user will be unable to express these abilities however. Arkay, having eaten the fruit, is able to express it's Poisonous trait. As he grows in skill, he is able to access different types of toxin through this base level however they can only be applied through skin contact at the moment as it his flesh that becomes toxic while his Jade Fruit is expressed. Usage of these toxins requires stamina prices, or blood prices to make enhanced versions, and take a set amount of time to take effect but are very difficult to notice.

Description: Requires Pirate to have eaten the Emo Emo Fruit: Model - Love. This fighting styles revolves around the body, which has now been infused with the power of the Love Emotion. This is passively in effect, their entire body structure changing so that even if knocked unconscious or otherwise incapacitated, Arkay's body is still empowered by love. Through the powers of this fruit he is capable of siphoning the Love Limits of targets within contact distances of himself passively, while being capable of extending this "contact" to techniques fueled and empowered by Love. Utilizing the siphoned Love, Arkay is capable of empowering himself and his techniques with the emotion, strengthening himself further the more Love he drains, though the main traits he is capable of empowering, without the use of outside techniques, are aligned to the Love Emotion and her branch emotions. This fruit, like all Emo Fruits, makes passive aesthetic changes to the consumer with Love specifically turning Arkay's pupils into hearts, while making his eyes glow pink when techniques of the style are in use. Love is versatile but like many within the Emo Emo Fruit Line, it's true capabilities can only be reached through advanced fighting styles as it's use in combat is limited if one lacks imagination. This technique essentially acts as a gateway and upon growing more skilled he will be able to make better use of his body's newly gained properties in order to best harness his Devil Fruit Abilities.
