Dead Blood (Training Thread)

Name: Murderer's Ambition (Signature)
Classification: Energy Tech
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: Having had such a close bond since birth, parts of Morghul's personality and his thoughts and feelings have drifted across to Arikiko and vice versa. Thus they have both became extremely close bonded, much more than most other Yoroi and their living weapons. This makes them much more dangerous in combat as it gives them some advantages over a normal living weapon and user combo. These advantages come in 3 modes. Arikiko Infused, Morghul Infused and Infusion Balance. These modes last for 10 posts and have a 5 post cooldown.

Arikiko Infused is when Morghul's soul ties itself more closely to Arikiko, giving its power to the Yoroi and empowering him. What this does is provide a bonus to Arikiko's Kinjutsu by improving the power of his blood through the infusion. While this mode is active, all of Arikiko's Kinjutsu techniques are boosted by one rank.

Morghul Infused is when Arikiko more closely ties his soul to Morghul's own, empowering the weapon with his own intent and power. What this does is enhance the edge of Morghul and increase its power upon attacks. This infusion boosts all of Arikiko's and Morghul's Kenjutsu techniques by one rank.

Infusion Balance mode is when both souls tie themselves to each other, providing a bonus to their techniques. In this mode, Morghul's light turns blue and Arikiko's eyes turn the same colour. During this mode, the power of both is enhanced and thus all Energy Tech used by Morghul and Arikiko are enhanced by one rank due to the need for both souls to use them. These modes can only be changed once every 4 posts total.

Name: Sanguine Series: Slash
Classification: Kinjutsu/Kenjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short-Medium

Description: By splashing a D-Rank of blood onto his weapon, it gains a deep purple aura as well as the lines that mark it turning the same colour. With a slash of the Axe, it then sends out a long curving arc of purple energy created through the blood fueled displaced air. This slash moves at Bullet Release speeds and is able to cut through D-Rank and below defenses to deal C-Rank damage against the enemy as well as leave some of Arikiko's blood splashed on the enemy for use with later techniques.

Name: Sanguine Series: Bind
Classification: Kinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Rank: D-Rank (D-Rank blood cost)
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Varies

Description: This technique can only be activated once some of Arikiko's blood has been splashed onto an enemy and can only affect an enemy that is one rank above Arikiko and below but it is weaker against higher ranked opponents. This technique, once activated, causes Ari's blood to crawl to enemy joints and solidify, making it more difficult for an enemy to move. For equal rank enemies this lowers their speed by one rank every time it is applied and for one rank above it lowers their speed every two times this is applied. If the enemy is dropped to E-Rank speed then they are incapable of moving. (Note, to apply this to an enemy if they haven't been struck by a Sanguine Series tech, the blood must be thrown on the enemy.)

Name: Beasts Strength
Classification:Taijutsu
Rank:D-Rank
Class:Supplementary
Range:N/A

Description:The user naturally posses an inhuman strength which allows them to preform tasks that would seem impossible. They are able to smash through D-rank defensive structures with brute strength as well as easily lift objects like large rocks or the average sized opponent.

Name: Swift Release
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: The user focuses his/her chakra tweaking their chakra gates allowing them to move at incredible speeds to avoid getting hit by attacks.

Name: Branching Evolution
Classification:Energy Tech (Yoroi Only)
Rank:C-rank
Class: Passive
Range:Self

Description: The user forcibly alters their living weapon causing it to focus on one of five specialties which boosts the techniques that are associated with the specialties while lowering the polar opposite while the others remain the same. Bezerker is the polar opposite of Illusionist and vice versa Sniper is the polar opposite of Warrior and Shinobi is neutral. Polar opposites get penalties equal to the reverse of what they would of done if they were chosen. IE If a Bezerker is chosen they will receive a permanent decrease of the Genjutsu and Kugujutsu by 1 rank while increasing them by 1-rank if they are used against the user of this technique.
Specialties
1. The first specialty is called Bezerker which boosts Taijutsu and Kinjutsu permanently by 1 rank while lowering them by 1-rank if they are used against the user.
2. The second specialty is called Illusionist which boosts Kugujutsu and Genjutsu by one rank while lowering them by 1-rank if they are used against the user.

Name: Dead Mode
Classification: Kenjutsu (Yoroi Only)
Rank:D-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Varies.

Description: This is a unique kenjutsu style which melds the users mind with their living weapon of choice, it is a flexible style which has moves that are limited to specific weapon types like swords, knives, hammers etc. There are 5 main styles in Dead mode namely, Dead Blade which deals with bladed weaponry, Dead Fist which deals with weapons that cover ones hands, Dead Pole which deals with various staves, pole-arms and baton like weapons, Dead Blunt which deals with blunt weapons like hammers, maces, flails and finally Dead Flex which deals with flexible weaponry like chains, wires and whips. When this fighting style is initiated the users pupils completely disappear and their eyes become a pure white. The weapon itself becomes semi tangible as it gains the ability to affect Entity, bypass other physical objects and can even bypass Defense Tiers to deal mental + physical damage to opponents. The Draw back of this kenjutsu style is that it can only be maintained for a limited time starting at 10 posts for academy students, 15 posts for genin, 20 posts for chunin, 25 posts for Tobetsu Jonin, 30 posts for Jonin, 35 posts for Medical Nin, 40 posts for Hunter Nin and finally 50 posts for Sannin.

Name: Dual Life
Classification: Kinjutsu (Yoroi Only)
Rank:D-rank (Life Split Price)
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: This involves splitting the user's life with their living weapon and although it is a powerful technique it literally grants the Living Weapon even more life granting it its own chakra system equivalent to the Yoroi's. Once this has been done the Living weapon is now treated like a living thing with defense tiers equal to the user's rank. Due to this it can no longer be targeted by weapon destroying or anti-weapon based technique.

Name: Barrier Style: Five Finger Connection Style (Signature)
Classification: Barrier Ninjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: This is a rather odd barrier ninjutsu style created by Arikiko Kenpazi. This style involves using extremely short range barriers that are connected between the fingers of one or both hands to create small but powerful barriers through the concentrated chakra. This means that Arikiko never has to use weapons or other people to create Barriers but all of his Barriers are very short range and are not very large, thus this style is not created to trap people but instead to block attacks and actually use the Barriers as a weapon.

Name: Fighting Style: Point Break (Signature)
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Melee

Description: This style utilises the principals of Sever just like Morghul taught Arikiko. By repeatedly striking an enemy's body in one location with extreme power, this style focuses on causing the opponent's muscles to tense and become rigid, allowing for much easier tearing and ripping. This technique thus uses the opponent's power and speed against them as if they move too fast while their muscles are contracted and tight, then they will damage themselves and lose speed in the process.

Name: Five Finger Barrier Unseal (Signature)
Classification: Barrier Ninjutsu/(Kinjutsu)
Rank: D-Rank (Chakra cost equivalent to unseal or blood cost one rank lower)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Touch

Description: (Requires Five Finger Connection Style) By focusing the chakra into his fingers, Arikiko creates a counter barrier between his fingers using his barrier style. He then presses this against the barrier. This requires the user to touch the barrier and then, once done, flood it with chakra or use his blood price with the seal, which causes it to turn white rather than gold as it does with chakra, to infuse the barrier with offending chakra, causing a disruption and forcing it to shatter by creating a counter barrier to remove the connection.

Name: Point Break: Contraction (Signature)
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Melee

Description: This is the base technique of the Point Break style and it involves the use of heavy trauma to cause muscle tightening and contraction to further allow for the larger techniques of the Point Break style. The danger of these attacks vary depending upon strength and come in three stages; tense, strained and locked with different ranks of strength causing each of the afflictions at faster rates. Some techniques only work when the enemy's muscles are at a certain state. This also works through enemy defense tiers although they mitigate damage from the hits.

D/C-Rank strength: 4 Hits tense, 8 hits strained, 12 hits locked.

B/A-Rank Strength: 3 hits tense, 6 hits strained, 10 hits locked.

S/SS-Rank strength: 1 Hit tense, 3 hits strained, 5 hits locked.

SSS-Rank strength: 1 hit strained, 2 hits locked (If alive)

When muscles are tense, it becomes slightly painful to move with each post the enemy receiving equivalent E-Rank damage every post but with no other effects other than allowing certain jutsu to be used upon the foe with bonus effects.

When muscles are strained, it causes D-Rank damage every post and the victim's tiers are dropped depending on where struck. Torso lowers defense, legs lower speed, arms lower strength and so forth. This also allows for the larger techniques to deal more damage and gain bonus effects.

When muscles are locked, it causes C-Rank damage each post and the foe's tiers are dropped by 2 depending on where was struck. (See strained). In addition, any of the user's taijutsu attacks upon the area that is locked are upped by one rank in damage due to the enemy's muscles tearing with the force applied.

Name: Point Break: Counter Tear (Signature)
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Melee

Description: Counter Tear can only be activated when the enemy's muscles are tense or above and can only be used on opponents that are moving at equal or lower speeds than Arikiko is. This technique is a counter offensive technique and is used when an opponent attacks with an afflicted area. Arikiko steps into the enemy's attack and then roughly strikes the afflicted limb, dealing damage to the opponent equal to their rank, including the damage that Arikiko would usually give, and then causes the opponent to lose feeling in that area for two posts at tense, four at strained and six at locked. (If torso, foe will find it hard to breathe)

Name: Upgrade: Serrated Edge (Signature)
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: Using his own new Soul coupled with Arikiko's chakra, Morghul has managed to alter his form for greater effects. This only works while Arikiko holds the weapon and it costs a D-Rank of chakra or a D-Rank of blood to activate but only needs to be activated once a topic. Once activated, the axe gains a serrated edge that causes it to deal an extra rank of damage whenever it strikes an opponent and causes much quicker blood loss due to the ragged edges of the wound.


Name: Upgrade: Breaker Burst (Signature)
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C-Rank (C-Rank chakra cost, C-Rank blood cost)
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description: This upgrade was done much like Serrated Edge except this time it affects Morghul's haft, giving it a strange addition to the bottom. This addition appears like a massive piston mounted to the bottom and activates once pointed at a foe. Once fired, it springs out three feet and delivers a massive kinetic strike to the opponent. This deals B-Rank damage and knocks the opponent backwards ten feet at Bullet Release speeds dealing an extra C-Rank of damage if they hit a wall or another person. It takes D-Rank strength to right one's self in midair after being struck by this. (Only needs to be activated once a topic)

Name: Shatter Rend
Classification:Taijutsu
Rank:C-Rank
Class:Supplementary
Range:N/A

Description:The user naturally posses an inhuman strength which allows them to preform tasks that would seem impossible. They are now able to smash through C-rank defensive structures with brute strength as well as easily lift boulders or throw heavy opponents.

Name: Platform (Signature)
Classification: Energy Tech
Rank: D-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: This technique focuses Arikiko's chakra under his feet, creating a platform under him that is solid to allow him to bounce off of it. This allows him to jump in midair or lift his allies up using it to allow for tactics that would involve being in midair or whatnot. This is a very simple technique but can be put to dangerous uses in the right situations. Can only be used for one person at a time, except for carrying another person in one's arms or on one's back. This can be activated on any ally or teammate within ten feet.

Name: Body Replacement Jutsu
Classification: Ninjusu
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: N/A

Description:This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach using the Body Flicker Technique, the moment an attack hits.
