Sweet Prince(pt.3): Deep Waters [Open]

Welcome to the very first, New World Mission. These missions are classified under "story missions". They generally do not move the site plot forward, but they do help further character development and opens you up to a whole new world of what's going on within the world your character is in. If all goes well, this will prove to be a fun opportunity for your character to experience strange encounters, cross paths with other PC characters, and inspired ideas all while earning the typical mission rewards.  So here's how this works:

✹ Each topic will have an objective in mission form. The topic will continue for however long it takes for the objective to reach a pass or fail verdict.

✹ Be careful this isn't your typical "repeatable", "time filler" mission. The decisions you make in these topics are permanent. Meaning that if you fail a mission you cant go back and repeat. You'll still be able to continue the story, but will have to live with the consequences.

✹There's no post order in these missions. We've tried this with the SFC and its worked amazingly. It allows for a more fast pace story. Much like in SFC you are not allowed to double post. Meaning that although there isnt a post order, someone must post after you, you're not allowed to post twice in a row.  In cases where there are multiple people in the topic and you get skipped many times, it is your responsibility to read up and get up to speed.

✹ Participation is everything. During the objective phase rewards will be posted. But based on your participation you'll either get 0%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of the reward. Note that to get the free tech reward typically gained through missions you must get the 100%.

✹ Have fun, no matter how difficult these missions might get , YOU (your PC characters) can not die in these missions. They can't be mutilated or suffer any permanent damage other than maybe traumatic events of other characters being part of their life experience. So then whats the balance? The balance is simply the fact that you only get one shot at every mission which will be accurate representation of their difficulty. No victory, no reward, no redos.

✹ Note that some of the minor families that maybe used in the progression of these stories are not actual clans or families that you can join. It maybe possible that they might become available in the future but as of now they are for story purposes only. But please enjoy the concepts.

✹ Respect the permissions. If a topic is closed or reserved for just one or a few people , respect that. There may be chances later to join the story but in topics with team names or individual names attached; it's important that said team or individual completes the objective for the story to move forward.

Name: Heart Taker Style
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C
Class: Offensive / Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The true style of the Phantom Thieves, to steal a person's heart, a piece of their inner self made of their warped desires. But in order to perform these tasks, the Thief in question must be prepared. They must step back, and analyse the situation, and especially their targets. They must know how, when, and where to strike to achieve their goal. And this is where the Heart Taker Style comes in to play. The style encompasses the observation of a target, and from there further techniques can be branched out to make use of these observations. For each turn that passes whilst the user is observing, they may gather information that will help them in a coming fight. And with experience, they can find flaws in armour, and weakpoints, in multiple targets at once. Of course, an unknowing target makes for an easier target, and the time necessary to find these weak points is lesser for it, and in turn, cause any strikes to find their target through their defences, granting even regular blows with short bladed weapons (daggers/knives/etc) defense piercing, depending upon how long they were observed, on that particular target.

Name:Candy-Crusher
Classification:Fighting Style
Rank:C-rank
Class:Offensive / Supplementary
Range: Varies
Description: A fighting style developed by the  Amato family.  This family are the creators of the pocket sized treats we know as candy. During the rise of the allied shinobi nations after the great Pandoran war this family had built their wealth and empire on the mass production and distribution of candy. Their wealth grew at such an alarming rate that they began to feel pressure from bandits and rogue organization who wanted to claim their operations. That is until this family learned to weaponize the very candy that they were known to make. Hence bringing forth the first candy style known as Candy-Crusher.  On the surface this style may seem simple but its only ever been replicated by members of the Amato family. Due to the family's ability to produce and create different types of candy using earth materia; the user simply needs to take one bite of candy for their bodies to break down the contents of the candy to a molecular level. This allows the user to merge elemental chakra with the molecules extracted from the candy to produce different candy and/or candy like effects. Unlike its successor the Jaw Breaker fighting style this fighting style is only capable of using primary elements in their candy-like effects.
Elemental Affinity - Candy Productions- Candy Effects
Earth -  Hard Candy/ Gummies - Hardening/ Softening
Fire -  Spicy Candy  -  Burning /  Wild Fire
Water-  Liquid Candy - Slimmy/ Sticky
Wind -  Minty Candy -  Concussive(blow back) / Vacuum

Name:Candy Crusher: Slick- Slick Gummy Bear
Classification:Nintaijutsu
Rank:C
Class:Defense
Range:Self/ AoE
Description:This defensive technique from the Candy Crusher fighting style is used to slip out of holds or slide through tight spaces. This technique is first done by the user eating "Slick- Slick Gummies". Once the juices from these gummies merge with his/her saliva they can now release massive amounts of this saliva in order to either make an area slippery or to loosen a grip/hold. This enables the user to escape a hold using their speed; requiring the captor to possess strength tiers one tier level higher than the user's speed.  When used on a vast area it requires the targets caught in the slimmy substance to have balance techniques equal to the speed in which they are attempting to run in order to not fall flat on their face at each attempt. The amount of saliva a user can emit/out pour is dependent on their rank.  
Rank - Amount of Saliva Produced- Area of Effect
D-rank: D- rank: 5ft
C-rank: 3D- rank: 8ft
B-rank: C-rank: 10ft
A-rank: B-rank: 15ft
S-rank: A-rank: 20ft

Sword Description: Wearing the mask, Akira truly becomes The Phantom. His very presence is much harder to attain through forms of sensory and allow him to hide in busy areas by effectively removing their presense. Whilst wearing the mask, Akira can activate it's ability, effectively creating a barrier around himself that deactivates when he interacts with people and objects. This allows them to not be detected by any form of sensory bar spiritual and spatial, although they can still be physically seen, depending on the number of 1000 word weekly trainings performed. This ability caps out at S-rank, though increases to SSS when awakened to Reaper.

Name: Heart Taker: Analyse
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Mid (sight)

Description: As part of the Heart Taker Style, the user is trained to observe on the fly, to take in every bit of information, and turn that to their advantage. With the Analyse skill, the user takes note of their opponent and searches for distinguishing marks, unless they are taking special note to disguise the features that would be observed. This comes in terms of their race, their class, and their element, or specialist style if they lack element, such as puppeteer, archer, etc, the longer they are observed.

Observation Time (pt) - Stealth Observation Time (pt) - Analysis
5 - 3 - Race
10 - 6 - Class/Clan
15 - 9 - Element/Specialism

Observed 5 turns, so Akira can analyse the boy's Race

At 7pt. including 4 stealth, Akira can now see the boys; race, clan, weapon type (unless it's samurai or stronger), and gains various boosts I can include when they are relevant)

Name: Heart Taker: Break Down
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Mid (sight)

Description: As part of the Heart Taker Style, the user is trained to observe on the fly, to take in every bit of information, and turn that to their advantage. With the Break Down skill, the user focuses upon weaponry, and the dangers it might bring. Through prolonged exposure and analysis of a person's weapon, they can bring themselves to better know how to counter. They can anticipate a traditional usage of said weapon, and use that knowledge to gauge the most likely method of use. As the user observes a weapon longer, they can take note of the type of weapon, such as samurai sword, living weapon, etc, however this does not allow the user to know what said weapon's ability is, and begin to know how to counter, granting Reaction Tier level increases when they are dodging.

Observation Time (pt) - Stealth Observation Time (pt)- Reaction Tier level increase - Weapon recognised
4 - 3 - 1 - Blacksmith
8 - 6 - 2 - Puppet
12 - 9 - 3 - Samurai/Reaper Sword
16 - 12 - 4 - Living Weapon

Name: Heart Taker: Break Down II
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: B
Class: Supplementary
Range: Mid (sight)

Description: As part of the Heart Taker Style, the user is trained to observe on the fly, to take in every bit of information, and turn that to their advantage. With the Break Down skill, the user focuses upon weaponry, and the dangers it might bring. The next level to the Break Down builds on the previous level, and is used to better works against the opponents weapon. After understanding the make of a weapon, the user is able to recognise the inconsistancies in the weapon's make, giving a boost to the user's Reaction Tier equal to the first level of Break Down, whilst also Speed by the same tier levels so long as they are parrying, and can bring the defense piercing of the base style at higher levels, in to use on the opponents weapon, or puppet. This is all dependant upon Akira's rank too, with his increased strength he is capable of doing damage to stronger and more reinforced weapons. Members of the Rikigaku clan following the Destruction Path can carry this technique on, able to bring the effect forwards to damaging Lobos, Organoids and Golems at A rank and Living Weapons at S rank.

Akira's Rank - Observation Time (pt) - Stealth Observation Time (pt) - Weapon Capable to Break
D - 4 - 3 - Normal Weapon
C - 8 - 6 - Blacksmith Forged

S - 20 - 15 - Reaper Sword

Name: Heart Taker: Escape Route
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C (4 stamina)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (movement), Mid (sight)

Description: As part of the Heart Taker Style, the user is trained to observe on the fly, to take in every bit of information, and turn that to their advantage. With the Escape Route skill, the user is always looking for the quick retreat. The Escape Route skill comes in two forms, in combat, and out, but both are built from a basis of observing an area, rather than an opponent. This grants the user the fast track, granting an additional Speed tier to travel out of combat, or to escape from combat, across terrain. They know the fastest routes to take themselves, and how to evade obstacles. When used in combat, the user is unable to perform any offensive techniques. The exception to this rule, is traps placed with the Heart Taker style. Traps placed in conjunction with Escape Route before combat is initiated, require additional Reaction tier levels to spot, with their base requirement increasing with how long the area was observed, as they are hidden in harder to spot places. Tier increases from this style cannot stack with other tier level boosts.

Observation Time In Combat - Observation Time Out of Combat - Tier level boosts
5 - 3 - 1
10 - 6 - 2
15 - 9 - 3
20 - 12 - 4

Name: Psionic Navigation
Classification: Soul Tech/Ninjutsu
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Long-Range

Description: In regards to this Psionic technique, after clapping his hands and touching his head with his finger, Gado is able to track people through brainwaves. That intent is receptive from up to 40 feet, with the sensory also serving in place as B rank reaction tiers.  However, with every telepathic link that Gado shares,  the distance of the technique are increased by an additional 20 feet for each individual involved.   Psionic Navigation can be countered by those who don't aren't capable of thought, or a B-rank cameo technique specifying the blocking of mental waves. Information gained from what's sensed can be transferred to those in the network in real time.
