Genin Exams - Arikiko Kenpazi

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.

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

Name: Upgrade: Breaker Bolt (Signature)
Classification: Kenjutsu/Kinjutsu
Rank: A-Rank (A-Rank blood price)
Class: Offensive
Range: (Strike) Short. (Knockback) Long.

Description: Realising the effectiveness of his Breaker Burst upgrade, Arikiko realised that he could expand on it by using more of his blood to increase the power of the piston. This upgrade brings in a much larger portion of Arikiko's blood and creates a piston upon Morghul's haft, however this piston has a series of rotating blades around the top of it although they are nothing if not cosmetic. This piston, when activated, lashes out five feet to deliver a massive kinetic burst to the enemy. This deals S-Rank damage and knocks the enemy backwards at Vacuum Release speeds to deal A-Rank damage if they hit an object, be it a person or a wall or whatnot. It takes B-Rank strength to right one's self when knocked backwards by this technique. If hit directly, this knocks the opponent backwards thirty feet and if they travel the full distance, they do not take the extra damage.

Name: Dead Blade Mode: Rending Slash
Classification: Kenjutsu (Yoroi Only)
Rank:C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid Range

Description: This technique can only be used by a bladed weapon of significant length, for example a sword, axe or sickle. When this technique is used the user's weapon of choice gains an invisible to the naked eye buzz saw like aura around it before the user swings it. The blade actually leaves a "Cut" mark in the air which separates drawing opponents which are within 10 feet of it into the vacuum left by the slash as well as dealing C-rank damage to them.
