Shikigami No Mai
Background:
This Kekkai Genkai has just recently shown itself amongst the villages. It is known to be only in the Konan family.
The nature of this jutsu style is odd. Manipulation of paper sounds interesting on itself, yet why would a ninja choose to do so? It appears to be a style fit for those that lack the broadness and obtuseness of conventional shinobi means. The rogue ninja that wanders around aimlessly gaining names that revolve around the same artifacts they employ to kill. The curious gennin that feels an odd connection with the limitless potential of a blank piece of paper. Both connected by that silent calling. No evidence supports it being a genetic inheritance and no clans exist to attest to this fact.
These shinobi can shift, move, and control the shape and density of paper. This does become stronger over time, training, and rank. Children, usually Gennin and academy students, can only make small things using the paper, such as shuriken, or knives as sharp as razors. Full adults such as Chuunin or Jounin can disperse themselves into paper, or turn themselves into paper butterflies to escape battle. To the surprise of most enemies they also possess the ability to create explosive tags. At one moment you're deflecting paper and the next all subtlety is thrown out the window.
Traits:
• Seals can only be written on the paper if you put them there, they cannot just appear on the paper.
• Paper is naturally weak to fire, suffering damage as though the fire were 1 rank stronger.
• Single sheets of paper can be created without jutsu for the mininum amount of chakra.
Special Abilities:
Shikigami no Mai [ Dance of the Shikigami ]
Description: The user learns to knead their Chakra into flat sheets and disperse it evenly throughout their body, gaining the ability to convert some or all of their body into paper. While in this form, they may use themselves as material for their paper techniques. This has no activation or upkeep cost and can be activated instantaneously. One limb per Body Rank can be affected, starting at E-Rank. At A-Rank, the entire body can be converted.
Training Time: 10 posts.
Dēta bunseki [ Data Analysis ]
Decription: A technique unique to those that have devoted the time to either create their own language or learn braille. It allows the user to mentally imprint onto paper in any given situation. This information can range from valuable information on those around the user or maybe even a bad political take to read aloud later on. The paper has to be a part of the user or in their possession as this does not work at a distance.
Techniques:
Kumitate [ Origami Technique ]
Rank: D
Description: Arguably the main pillar of this style. After channeling a small amount of Chakra, the user can warp and fold paper into any shape they desire, the more paper and chakra available the stronger it will become.
Kami Bunshin no Jutsu [ Paper Clone Technique ]
Rank: D
Description: Using their ability to manipulate paper, the user will form a clone made up of numerous sheets. Because it is made up of many lesser parts, the clone can disperse and reform without ending its existence. When their need for the clone ends, they can disperse the sheets and end the clone
Kami Shuriken [ Paper Shuriken ]
Rank: D
Description: Using origami skills, the user will form their paper into bird-like shapes. After throwing these at the target, they can fly through the air and cut through the victim. The user can use a Fuuton technique to increase the strength of this technique to C rank.
Kami Suiton [ Soggy Paper ]
Rank: D
Description: The user channels their chakra, to envelop a thin film around the paper, making it waterproof.
Furasshu bakudan [ Flash Bomb ]
Rank: D
Description: The user creates a single blinding paper bomb that disorients those afflicted for 1 post.
Kami bakudan [ Paper Bomb ]
Rank: C
Description: The user creates a single explosive sheet of paper.
Idol [ Aidoru ]
Rank: C
Description: Users of Shikigami no Mai can possess what is known as an 'idol'. It's appearance depends on the users whim. The idol surveys areas for the user like a clone would, but it's versatility in shapes and sizes gives it a broader range of utility. All the information registered by the idol is transcribed on the paper that it's made out of in either braille or another imprint language the user is aware of.
Kami no tate [ Paper Shield ]
Rank: C
Description: The user creates a wall of paper around his or herself capable of blocking damage of the same rank and below at a fairly decent speed. Fire is
, however, 1 rank stronger when used against the shield.
Kauntā [ Counter]
Rank: C
Description: After the activation of 'paper shield' a constricting stream of paper strikes the assailant if by chance they were using taijutsu. This stream of paper wraps around a limb, immobilizing it.
Chou Tokkoutai [ Butterfly Kamikaze Unit ]
Rank: C
Description: The user creates 100 origami butterflies that form a cluster around an enemy in attempt to obfuscate and clutter their vision at either a distance or up close.
Chou Tokkoutai Nidan [ Butterfly Kamikaze Unit: Part Two ]
Rank: B
Description: With a series of hand seals, half of the origami butterflies turn into explosive tags that converge simultaneously with the regular butterflies. This change is only perceptible to ocular doujutsu such as the byakugan which are capable of reading subtle divergences in chakra signatures that are almost identical.
Kami Hitoku [ Paper Concealment ]
Rank: B
Description: The users folds their body flat on the ground becoming highly undetectable to shinobi that aren't sensory experts. Movement is possible while in this state.
Pēpāwāpu [ Paper Warp ]
Rank: B
Description: Similar to paper concealment, paper warp turns the users body completely flat while they stand. This is useful in very peculiar an niche situations. Don't ask too many questions.
Kami no daiyō [ Paper substitute ]
Rank: A
Description: The user can turn their body into paper to avoid being struck by a blow. This does, however, cause a strain on the user due to the amount of chakra required to perform it in order to evade damage.
Shikigami no shukufuku [ Shikigami Blessing ]
Rank: A
Description: Upon learning this technique the user passively increases the strength of any jutsu performed in unison with their paper by 1 rank.
Shikigami no Mai [ Paper Style Dancing ]
Rank: A
Description: Using their high origami and ninjutsu skills, the user will turn their body into many sheets of paper. This paper can create feathers for floating. They can then be launched at their target as dagger-like projectiles. They can also form paper spears for attack and turn into butterflies or paper airplanes for quick transport.
Kami Jisatsu [ Paper Suicide ]
Rank: S
Description: In a final act of desperation, the user releases a massive amount of paper which surrounds the opponent. The paper is revealed to be 50,000 explosive tags, and all detonate simultaneously. Must spend at least 10 posts, 2-3 sentences each, preparing the tags. Consumes all of the user’s remaining Chakra.
