Tairaela Zerin

Born to the heads of one of the larger branches of the Zerin clan that function outside of Dipugakure in a small town, Rae had a lot going for her, except one issue, she was nearly completely blind, only being able to see one foot from her eyes. Luckily in the Zerin such a thing was more of a good thing then a bad thing, as the blood of Zerin flows much stronger in those that are Blind, Mute, Deaf, ect. Her parents grew unhappy though, they saw the corruption in the clan and how it was spreading to their branch in particular, there were certain figureheads that were not the best of people. They didn't want to raise their child in such an environment but they stuck to it and lived with it. By the time Rae was 6 however they had had enough, they decided to shut down their branch, but Rae's uncle caught wind of this and wasn't too happy, he didn't want the branch shut down and felt as if he would make a better leader. Before they could shut down the branch, he set up their deaths, getting a couple skilled Zerin's that he could trust to kill them. Rae would never know what the true cause of her parents death was. Rae's uncle knew he couldn't just usurp the authority in the branch, so he took Rae under his own care and used her birthright to control her and in turn control the branch. Time passed and Rae became a teenager. The branch was slowly dying without it's previous leaders though, and Rae's uncle was desperate for more members so he came up with a new initiation into the branch, new members "had" to have intercourse with Rae within her chambers. Of course this was rape of the young girl, and she began to resent the world, she hated everyone and everything as this continued, on and on, a never ending cycle of her being violated and mistreated while her uncle stayed in power. For a long time she thought there was nothing she could do, because of her eye condition she hardly ever left her room because she feared the darkness that surrounded her.

The time came where Tairaela couldn't take it anymore, she fled her clan, her branch, her home. She wanted to be as far away from her uncle as possible, she wanted to stop being used by him. She hated the world, she wanted everyone to just die, but there was no way she could accomplish that so the best thing she could do was hope the rest of the world wasn't as cruel as her clan. She found herself in the forest eventually, only being able to see a foot in front of her face, she had no idea where she was going most of the time, anytime she found food it was by pure luck. Days passed, and eventually she stopped lucking out and finding food, but then, something happened. Something feral and instinctual inside her awakened and her vectors came into being, before she had been a problem child, struggling to learn even the most basic of techniques, she couldn't get her vectors to appear. Now they were here, and they were powerful, she could see with them, all of a sudden her surviving wasn't as difficult, she lived in the wilds for several months, using her vectors to make it. Eventually she found civilization and managed to learn of the world's affairs, but she knew she couldn't stay in one place for long, she knew that she would have been labeled a missing nin by her uncle by now, and she would be hunted. She didn't care though, the world had always treated her badly and seemed to hate her, it was her turn to spread the pain and turmoil that she had been forced to experience over the course of her life.

This ability is much more of an added physical ability than an active or passive ability. This   ability gives the ronin extra arms, called Vectors. These vectors have the ability to extend   and retract to different ranges of reach. These vectors can also expand and contract to   different sizes for different purposes. The amount of these arms can also vary from user to   user, depending on their skill leve. These vectors can provide an offensive force as well as a   sensory medium. The user can fee anything the vectors touch, but feel no pain if a vector is   harmed. These vectors are also invisible to most forms of vision. They carry no chakra   signature to them and chakra detection can not pick them up. These arms carry no trace of the   user, and any tracking skills usin to track the user will not be able to pick up a trace of   these vectors. Thermal vision may detect them, but not in the usuall way thermal vision works.   The arms carry an extremely low temperature to them, that does not chill the air around them.   The only way to feel the chill is for them to directly touch you.

These vectors have two basic forms that the user can switch back and forth between at will. The   first form of these vectors is the physical form. The physical arms are able to physically   touch and move things around. These vectors are mostly good for dealing physical damage to the   target, but they can activate touch based genjutsus and other actions of the like. Vectors in   their physical form can be easier to detech because other objects will be able to touch them,   such as falling leaves or flying weapons. Extremely high trained sensors, or wind style user   may also pick up wind moving around them. Physical Vectors can also be cut, or destroyed. The   arms can be destroyed with a chakra bassed skill equal to the user's endurance rank. They can also be destroyed with a physical attack equal to the user's defense tiers.

The second form of Vectors are the Mental Vectors. Mental vectors carry even more danger behind   them. They loose all their physical abilities. They no longer can be touched by physical   objects and things such as wind pass directly through them without being detected. These arms   can pass through physical objects entirely, being detected then by a extreme chill. These   vector arms are often used as sensory mediums as they can seek out the area and pass back to   their user the loactions of things they pass through. The mental vectors are completely unable   to deal damage on their own. However mental vectors can still activate touch based genjutsus   when passing through a target. A genjutsu activated through the use of mental vectors will have   its rank increased by 1 without raising the chakra cost to activate. If the user is placed   under a genjutsu the user's vectors become locked at mental vectors until the user breaks out   of the genjutsu.

Vectors do have their limits thought. Each vector user has a set number of "tech slots" these   are their add ons, or specific training for their vectors. Each add on requires a different   training or situation to unlock, and a Zerin can not have more add ons then they have "tech   slots". A user can however unlock more "tech slots" through higher levels of training or   ranking up. Once an add on is learned it can't be "removed" from the user. If you have ideas   for add ons or have your own custom add ons, first PM Meimu then post here for another admin   approval. THESE ADD ONS DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS YOUR TOTAL JUTSU COUNT, BUT ANY TRAINING DOES TAKE   PLACE OF YOUR USUALLY ONE A DAY TRAINING.

Name: Gyration
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B-rank
Class: Passive
Range: Range of Rae's Vectors

Description: In their physical form, Rae's vectors are always vibrating. The vibrations send waves through the air and through air displacement allow the vectors to transfer sensory of the area to Rae. The area sensed is in a dome with Rae at the center, extending out from Rae in a distance equal to the range of her vectors. Of course this requires physical form, which means when the vectors are in mental form Rae is once again rendered blind. This also forsakes the sensory granted to Zerins by the mental vectors, giving Rae absolutely no ability to use it.

Name: Duel
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Range of Rae's Vectors

Description: One of Tairaela's signature techniques. In this technique all her vectors condense into just two vectors. This reduces the number of vectors but in turn makes them more potent. This distributes the power evenly, meaning an even number of vectors will always be cut in half (E.G. 10 vectors will go down to the 2 vectors with 5 vectors condensed in each of them.) For every 2 vectors condensed into each of the 2 main ones, the tiers of the VECTORS (Not Rae) are increase by 1. This means if Rae has 8 vectors and they have C-rank strength and speed, the two vectors left after this technique will have A-rank strength and speed. Over the course of this technique it is impossible to switch the vectors to mental form, only physical due to the extreme amount of concentration required to keep all her vectors condensed together. This lasts for 4 posts at AS, 6 posts at Genin, 10 posts at Chunin/Tokubetsu Jonin, 14 posts at Jonin, and 20 posts at Sannin. After the technique has worn off the vectors will suffer a 1 rank drop in their (original) tiers for half the duration of the technique.
