Taiga (Change 5 stats, update ability, update app aesthetic)

Post by Taiga » Tue Apr 25, 2023 1:38 am

Application: viewtopic.php?&t=5944813/1/
Change:

- Updating the theme/look of his app; descriptions, history, age etc to move him up past the war.
- Added advanced channeling conc
- Removed WP req from my perception techniques; doesn't make sense (its not instict/tai or old stats we used to have, so isnt analogous actually)
- Shift 5 stats from WP to Endurance
- Updating a his Possession ability to be worded better. No mechanic change beyond included mention of inanimate objects


- Adding a new ability.
New Ability:
PHANTOM OPERA
Taiga has the ability to leave "Phantoms" of himself that linger on the battlefield as a Taiga-sized cloud of smoke for up to [Endurance/5] posts before disappearing into the nether. To those watching this, it seems like Taiga is just miming an action with seemingly no impact on the world around him. For example, punching the air, or throwing a kunai but without him letting go. While doing this he becomes incorporeal, so his punch cannot actually hurt anything, returning to corporeal form after finishing the action.

At any point during the phantom's duration he can manifest the phantom, causing it to perform it's mimed action. Upon manifestation, the phantom cannot be controlled or moved. If Taiga mimed throwing a shuriken, regardless of where Taiga is upon manifestation the phantom will appear in the exact same spot he was in at creation time, in the same direction. The throw and trajectory will be the same. Any chakra costs incurred by phantoms are incurred by Taiga.
Payment: -25 points (344 - 25 = 319)

The Shadow of Konohagakure
The Deigenma Jinchuuriki
Konohagakure no Sato Jounin

character | stats | equipment | abilities & concentrations | jutsu | history
character
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Affinity: Taijutsu
Physical Features: Taiga is an athletic man. His body is a well-proportioned height of 178 CM and weight of 75KG. He possesses a great deal of toned, lean muscle lending to his sprinter-like build. He has an angular face and a strong jaw with large ears that find themselves partially hidden behind his messy grey hair. When viewed from the perspective of a normal human there is nothing too out of the ordinary about Taiga, but when accounting for the fact he is a shinobi, oddly Taiga has no distinguishing scars. One may speculate this as meaning he is pampered, others that it means he is a very skilled shinobi.

There are a few other defining features that differentiate Taiga from others. His torso is covered in fuuinjutsu in the shape of trigrams that lead up his shoulders and down to his thighs. The seal pattern never ends, and wraps around his appendages and torso, creating a completely closed seal with the center on his abdomen- the trigram of earth. This is the fuuinjutsu that binds Sukairaa the Deigenma to him. As a result of the sealing, each breath of Taiga's also releases an odorless cloud of light grey smoke giving him the stone-cold-cool appearance of a smoker without the need to damage his lungs. Additionally, his chakra appears light grey in hue, and has the consistency and appearance of smoke rather than the normally blue energy of most shinobi.

Clothing/Accessories: Taiga dresses overwhelmingly light due to his strong defensive abilities/matter manipulation abilities. The base of Taiga's clothing revolves around a dark-blue t-shirt and grey slacks that end at his ankles. These slacks are worn and rolled up to his knees. In terms of accessories, Taiga wears a navy-blue hoodie with white lining and navy-blue knee-high shinobi boots with white trim and laces. Taiga doesn't wear his forehead protector anymore, however, when he must, he has it embedded in a sash with the Sarutobi family crest that is worn around his waist. Other than that, Taiga wears pouches on both his thighs and one on his left hip. A Senju crest is also found on the back of his hood. In battle, he generally wears his cuirass.

Personality: Having grown up as a "loser" self-defined by his inability to use Mokuton like his brothers and sisters, Taiga developed a defiant personality and was known for his quick mouth that more often than not got him into trouble. After nearly a decade Taiga has matured to be wiser and much more mellow though at his core he is still an extremely stubborn individual, and often aloof to others, preferring to do things his own way. At his core however Taiga is still a kind individual and loyal to Konohagakure to a fault. He would go to any lengths to protect his village and those he cares for.

Along with his maturity, the war also shifted Taiga's world views to become much more strategic- to a point where he has realized that there are other ways to stop war and fight without direct force, such as his Kotoamatsukami and other genjutsu which is rumored to have swayed entire villages into turning on each other and influenced factions from fighting at all.

In terms of intelligence, Taiga was never considered a genius in his youth due to his poor academic performance and attitude. In reality, when focused correctly, Taiga has a once-in-a-generation instinct and talent for picking up things. This was proven by his ability to create Thousand Fists of Konoha taijutsu style that paid homage to all the villages masters, his ability to master the Deigenma in under a year, and was made ever more apparent in his fearsome genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.

When it comes to combat Taiga's lateral style of thinking often allows him to come up with unique approaches to fight his enemies and use his abilities in increasingly unexpected ways. Leaning hard into his Sarutobi heritage, Taiga is a versatile shinobi deadly in any form of combat and made only more deadly by his mastery of the Deigenma. Utilizing his skills with his experience gained on the battlefield in the world war, Taiga is no longer a shinobi who would rush in head first to take down an opponent and instead employs a death-by-a-thousand-cuts strategy.
Abilities
JINCHUURIKI
Taiga is host to one of the great phantom beasts, the strongest spirits that once ruled over the earth. The genma that resides within Taiga is the Genma of Earth, the Deigenma, Sukairaa. It is bound to him through a series of eight-trigram seals that cover key chakra points on his body, all weaving in an infinite and intricate pattern to the center of his stomach where the final seal, the 1st Trigram of Earth, the Mountain (☶) resides.

PHANTOM POSSESSION
Having reached unparalleled levels of mastery as a Jinchuuriki, Taiga has gone beyond his human limits and gained access to one more of the legendary abilities of the Deigenma: phantom possession. Like Sukairaa, after phasing into someone or something, Taiga can emit Deigenma chakra that allows his otherwise intangible form to move his new vessel. In the case of inanimate objects, this is effective as they do not have a tenketsu. In organics, this is based on a [Control] battle between Taiga and the vessel. When Taiga is at most 5 points or less weaker than the vessel's [Control] he can cause minor disturbances such as flicking the vessel's wrists, closing their mouth, muttering words, or dropping their foot. If he is 5 points or more greater than the vessel's [Control] Taiga can fully control the vessel to a point of being able to even form hand seals. The maximum duration a possession can be held is 5 posts, +1 post for every point Taiga has over his opponent, up to a maximum of 9 posts.

PHANTOM OPERA
Taiga has the ability to leave "Phantoms" of himself that linger on the battlefield as a Taiga-sized cloud of smoke for up to [Endurance/5] posts before disappearing into the nether. To those watching this, it seems like Taiga is just miming an action with seemingly no impact on the world around him. For example, punching the air, or throwing a kunai but without him letting go. While doing this he becomes incorporeal, so his punch cannot actually hurt anything, returning to corporeal form after finishing the action.

At any point during the phantom's duration he can manifest the phantom, causing it to perform it's mimed action. Upon manifestation, the phantom cannot be controlled or moved. If Taiga mimed throwing a shuriken, regardless of where Taiga is upon manifestation the phantom will appear in the exact same spot he was in at creation time, in the same direction. The throw and trajectory will be the same. Any chakra costs incurred by phantoms are incurred by Taiga.

Details (*)Show
Chakra Traversal Initiator:
The chakra traversal initiator is a very specific method of initiating genjutsu that is not so commonly used outside of those who are equally proficient in the study of chakra. When a shinobi channels or controls a ninjutsu, there exists a direct conduit between the jutsu and their tenketsu. This initiator uses making direct contact with the targets channeled jutsu, using the aforementioned conduit to directly send their own chakra to the target and trigger their genjutsu.

Initiating through Chakra Traversal requires one concentration.
jutsu
NinpouShow
[b][color=#80A0FF]*[Ninjutsu • Chakra Burst][/color][/b]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After channeling chakra into one of their fists, the user will then attempt to strike their target and if successful, they will release additional concussive force in the form of an outward explosion with [Control] Strength from their fist. If the user does not strike a target within 3 posts the jutsu dissipates.

[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Double Jump][/color][/b]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
By channeling chakra into his feet, Taiga will cause his foot to release a controlled blast of chakra from it's bottom equal to a D-Rank explosion. A clever technique, the force created by the weak explosion gives his foot enough resistance to push off of seemingly thin air, allowing him to "spring" himself up.

[b][color=#80A0FF]*[Ninjutsu • Tracking Device][/color][/b]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After performing the correct hand seals the user will coat one of their hairs in chakra. Once this has been done, they will place it on their target. The user can track the exact location of the strand of hair for up to 10 meters. For up to 20 meters out, the user can track a rough location. From then out to 100 meters, the user just gets a general direction of where the opponent is. The chakra in the hair will dissipate at the end of 6 posts.

[b][color=#80A0FF]*[Ninjutsu • Multiple Chakra Kai][/color][/b]
[i]C-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
Despite requiring both hands and more time than *[Basic Jutsu • Chakra Kai], Multiple Chakra Kai allows the user to activate up to five objects simultaneously, up to 25 meters away.

[b][color=#80A0FF]*[Ninjutsu • Advanced Transformation Technique][/color][/b]
[i]C-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
An advanced form of the Transformation Technique, after performing the correct hand seals and holding the final one temporarily, the user will coat and mold chakra around their body into the shape and form of something or someone which is no more than twice their size. This technique's true advantage is that the disguise is given physical substance. This means, for example, if they transform into something with claws, they will have claws that can physically be used. For the disguises 5 post duration, if it is damaged by a hit of more than [Control] Strength, the disguise "poofs" from existence. This includes collateral damage caused by striking an opponent that may occur to the disguise.

[b][color=#80A0FF][Ninjutsu • Barrier Sphere Defense][/color][/b]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After the correct hand seals or channeling, Taiga will cause pure chakra to form up in a given location within 15 meters. From the focal point, chakra will project walls outward in a 7m radius forming a perfect sphere with 15cm thick walls of chakra. The chakra is effected by the Deigenma and beyond making it appear like smoke and grey- it causes the otherwise solid barrier to be capable of ghosting into the ground and surroundings offering a complete 360 degree defense for whoever is within. Taiga's jinchuuriki chakra resonates with it and allows him to pass through it. It is formed at [Control] strength and speed and lasts for 5 posts or until damaged.
Deigenma NinjutsuShow
As host to the Earth Genma Taiga has the ability to assimilate with matter and phase/merge through it. With some practice, Taiga learned how to manually manipulate sources he assimilates into via raw chakra. As a note Taiga is not able to create matter, rather, he is able to manipulate matter that already exists and that he assimilates with. This means all techniques require the source to be sufficient enough matter. For example, he cannot make a stone kunai from a 1cm pebble. Deigenma Ninjutsu are element-less and count as ninpou.

[color=#777][b][Tools][/b][/color]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a material, Taiga will channel raw chakra into it shaping the material to form basic shinobi tools: kunai, senbon, arrows, shuriken, or fuma shuriken. In one go, this technique can only manipulate up to 1x1x1 meters of material meaning nothing can be made bigger or in a larger quantity than that. After jutsu completion, the completed tool is ejected from the source material and sits upon the source's surface, if gravity allows it. Tools have the properties and durability of their source material, however, if Taiga channels chakra throughout the duration of the creation of the tools they can be augmented to a strength equal to his [Control].

[color=#777][b][Chakra Bombs][/b][/color]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a material and channeling into it, Taiga will channel raw chakra into the object infusing it with explosive energy equal to [Control]. If the object is kai'd within [Control]/5 posts it will explode, releasing its inner force.

[color=#777][b][Tiger's Claws][/b][/color]
[i]D-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
Assuming Taiga has assimilated his fingers into some sort of material, Taiga will channel chakra into his fingertips causing his fingertips to shape into 1 inch sharp claws. Beyond taking on the properties and durability of the source material, if desired Taiga can augment the durability and sharpness of the claws to a strength equal to his [Control].

[color=#777][b][The Floor is Lava][/b][/color]
[i]C-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a material and channeling into it, Taiga will manipulate the source material and hollow out a 9-meter radius pit beneath the surface. The top few centimeters of the pit however will be left untouched however in a very brittle strength, with roughly 1 strength of durability.

[color=#777][b][Wabisabi][/b][/color]
[i]C-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
Assuming Taiga has assimilated his arms into some sort of material, Taiga will channel chakra into his arms and reinforce the material as desired to [Control] strength allowing him to make what was old new again!

[color=#777][b][Digger][/b][/color]
[i]C-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into material and channeling into it, Taiga will manipulate the source material in a 10-meter radius. Taiga can utilize this technique to create potholes or phase items on top of the ground into the ground to bury them. This happens at a speed equal to his [Control] and requires full focus preventing him from doing other jutsu or techniques while shaping things.

[color=#777][b][Material Design][/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
Assuming Taiga has assimilated his arms into some sort of material, Taiga will channel into it causing it to form into a full clone of himself. The clone has the properties of its base material and is also capable of utilizing the material manipulation jutsu Taiga has.

[color=#777][b][Pillar Locking Entrapment][/b][/color]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a material and channeling into it, Taiga will manipulate the source causing several pillars to emerge at a speed equal to his [Control]. These pillars bend and meet halfway locking together and creating a half-dome above ground. The dome can be created anywhere within a 10-meter radius of Taiga and has a 7-meter radius size. The walls are 2 feet thick. The durability of the dome is equal to the original durability of the material, but by channeling chakra the dome can alternatively be strengthened to durability equal to Taiga's [Control]. This jutsu cannot create material and assumes enough material is present- if not the technique will become smaller in size.

[color=#777][b][Guardian's Fist][/b][/color]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
Primarily meant to be used on continuous surfaces, after phasing his arm into a material and channeling into it, surface space withstanding, up to 25 meters away from himself Taiga can cause a large fist 2 meters in diameter to pop out of the surface from beneath a target at speed equal to his [Control] and with a strength equal to his [Control]. Those with less strength than the fist will find themselves thrown off their feet and up into the air, slightly dazed from the massive hit. The surface will get a greyish hue from Taiga's chakra before the fist activates.

[color=#777][b][Shindo 3][/b][/color]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a source of the material (usually the ground) and channeling into it Taiga will tap into the power of the [i]Earth Genma[/i] and release a massive volatile burst of his chakra. This chakra causes the surface of any material he is phased into to shake violently in a 25-meter radius with Taiga at the epicenter. This lasts for up to 3 posts if not released. During this period opponents with less [Endurance] than Taiga's [Control] will be unable to balance their body, preventing movement and knocking them to the ground. Those very weak are generally thrown around like a rag doll while those with an equal Endurance find themselves just barely able to move. Of course, those with greater Endurance than Taiga's [Control] can adequately control their body allowing them to move as per usual.

[color=#777][b][Orbital Defense][/b][/color]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After phasing a body part into a source material (usually the ground) and channeling into it, Taiga will cause 8 chunks of the material up to 1/2 meter in diameter size to eject, then orbit around him as if anchored to him. For up to 5 posts, so long as he continues to channel the jutsu at his command the chunks can be controlled within 30 meters at [Control] speed and [Control] strength.
Negative ChakraShow
[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Void Hand[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After a series of hand seals or channeling, Taiga will imbue one of his hands with negative chakra. In the next 6 posts, if his hand comes into contact with an energy source the negative chakra will transfer from his hand to that energy source, quickly spreading out onto it and consuming the energy source at [Control] size before fizzling itself out of existence.

[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Void Slash[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After a series of hand seals or channeling, Taiga will imbue his hand with negative chakra and then swing his hand in a direction. This will release a compact [Control] size length blade of negative chakra, only a few centimeters in depth hurdling towards his target at [Control] speed for up to [Control] x 2 meters. Upon contacting a source of energy it will quickly expand to the full [Control] size as it spreads out around the energy, consuming it and then fizzling itself out of existence.

[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Void Clone[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After a series of hand seals or channeling, Taiga will create a clone made of negative chakra. The clone is capable of utilizing negative chakra techniques however is unable to interact with physical objects. Upon contact with any energy source, it will 'explode' into a [Control] size negative chakra cloud that will consume all energy in its path before fizzling out of existence.

[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Void Cloak[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Ninjutsu[/i]
After a series of hand seals or channeling, Taiga will coat his entire body in a thin, compact layer of negative chakra. For up to 6 posts or until the entire [Control] size worth of negative chakra is used, energy sources that come into contact with Taiga will be consumed.

[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Void Smoke[/b][/color]
[i]B-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After a series of hand seals or channeling, Taiga will perform a typical smoke ninpou technique however use negative chakra instead of plain chakra. This causes a large [Control * 2] diameter smoke cloud to form with him at the apex. The smoke is a translucent black and while it makes it slightly harder to see does not affect vision in any real noticeable way. Being heavily diluted, this smoke is unable to fully consume any existing energy but it is able to eat the small amounts of chakra that are released during hand seals or channeling- effectively interrupting the initial chakra manipulation and stopping any jutsu from being cast inside the smoke for up to 3 posts.

[color=#000][b]Negative Chakra - Compressed Void Rasengan[/b][/color]
[i]A-Ranked Ninjutsu[/i]
After forming a single hand seal for dog, Taiga will channel into his downward-facing palm forming a high-density orb that appears to be opaque black and roughly 6cm in diameter. The ball will levitate above his palm and can be held for up to 3 posts if not used. If this is able to come into contact with an individual it'll blast a hole straight through their tenketsu stopping them from being able to form chakra or utilize ninjutsu unless healed via Iijutsu. Additionally, despite its compressed size, it is actually able to consume up to 3m^3 worth of chakra while still being effective, but any more than that will cause the technique to exhaust itself prematurely.
GenjutsuShow
[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Impulsive Bastard][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
A rudimentary Genjutsu, after the appropriate hand seals when a target sees Taiga phase int the ground this technique is triggered. Seconds later, anyone who sees this will see Taiga suddenly come back up out of the ground in-front of them, rushing full speed to punch them in the face but simply disappearing when an inch short of them.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Out of Control][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
While forming the appropriate hand seals Taiga will shout out "Acck! I can't control him anymore". Anyone who hears this will be caught in his illusion. They will see Taiga transform into Form 4 Ascended of Deigenma and he will appear to be that way for the next 4 posts.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Conceal, Don't Feel, Don't let them know!][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
After the appropriate hand seals, when a target sees Taiga assimilate with something, they will be caught in the Genjutsu. For the next 4 posts Taiga will appear to be normal- as if no assimilation or change took place.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Confuse][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
After the appropriate hand seals, if Taiga successfully makes contact with someone this will deliver the chakra of his Genjutsu triggering it and causing to see him burst out of the front of their body and take off running, poofing into thin air after running 5 meters.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Smoke Screen][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion Genjutsu
After the appropriate hand seals, Taiga will let out a large breathe of smoke due to his genma. Anyone who sees this peculiar smoke will be trapped in his illusion and see the area round them fill with smoke for the next 5 posts. This smoke limits their vision to a 4 meter radius around them. Because this is a genjutsu and no smoke is actually there, attempts to remove the smoke will ultimately fail.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • PSA][/color][/b]
D-Ranked Illusion
To use this technique Taiga must not be affected by any genjutsu. After the required hand seals, Taiga will shout “genjutsu” at the top of his lungs. If the target hears this, they will hear Taiga’s voice calmly explaining “you are in a genjutsu, please use kai” on loop for 4 posts.

[b][color=#CDC1C5]*[Genjutsu • Reverse Hypnosis][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
This is a three post genjutsu. To start the genjutsu, the ninja does the hand seals that are needed and then places a hand on the target. Until the genjutsu ends the target is able to remember a lot more about their past and has a lighter barrier over their consciousness making it easier for them to spill information. This doesn’t weaken their will, however, meaning if they are aware it’s a genjutsu, they are more than capable of using Kai.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Empty Inside][/color][/b]
C-Ranked Status Genjutsu
After the required hand seals, Taiga will make contact with someone triggering the Genjutsu. For the next 5 posts, the effected don't really have much of a feel for whats going on inside their body, everything feeling dull. Any kind of damage at all, in any amount, will break this genjutsu.

A-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
After the appropriate hand seals, Taiga coats an object with chakra. If this object makes contact with a channeled jutsu or jutsu that is actively emitted from a users tenketsu, the jutsu's original caster will be caught in the genjutsu. At this point, they will see Taiga form a single hand seal, then disappear in a cloud of crimson leaves. The cloud of crimson leaves will then suddenly encircle the user, almost becoming a storm or cyclone of leaves and making it impossible to see outside the cyclone, along with greatly deafens sound and smell within the cloud. Beyond the illusionary sensory deprivation, this genjutsu carries a status effect that induces intense self-doubt, enough to cause even the most veteran shinobi to flounder on what to do for every little thing. This technique lasts 5 posts or until canceled.

A-Rank Illusion of Force
After the required hand seals, Taiga will point his fingers toward his opponents and wiggle them, causing any who sees this to be caught in the genjutsu. Once caught, they will feel strings tugging on them from multiple points, exerting [Willpower] strength. For the next five posts, if the target's strength is less than [Willpower] Taiga can use these strings to exert physical control, much like one would using actual kugutsu. For the first post only, any attempt to kai will ignore the strength being exerted, allowing them to move their hands to do so. While this physically controls them, it does not control their tenketsu or their ability to channel chakra.

[b][color=#CDC1C5][Genjutsu • Kotoamatsukami][/color][/b]
S-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
Prerequisite: 50WP
The legendary Kotoamatsukami technique of Sarutobi Taiga is used to manipulate those around him to extremely effective lengths and is triggered merely by him speaking aloud, after the appropriate hand seals of course. Unlike hypnosis or techniques that force effect individuals to act a certain way, Kotoamatsukami instead is subtle and elicits one extremely strong emotion within a target. To back those emotions up, the technique then inserts "memories" by creating illusions whenever the affected target thinks about their emotions or processes them. For example, he can elicit feelings of uncontrollable hatred towards an ally and when the affected target thinks of this, they will see vivid memories of that person hurting them or doing other heinous things. While the technique itself ends after 8 posts, the subtly of the technique makes it hard to ever know one was in a genjutsu to begin with, as all the feelings and memories felt very real.

AssimilationsShow
[color=#777][b][Partial Assimilation][/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Stance Taijutsu[/i]
After making contact with an eligible piece of solid matter, Taiga will utilize his Genma abilities to assimilate it, taking on its properties on part of his body. When performing a partial assimilation, part of his body will fully become the material and he is able to "phase through" or "merge through" objects of the same material with that part. This technique must be used with a discipline for the appropriate material he is merging with.

[color=#777][b][Full Body Assimilation][/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Stance Taijutsu[/i]
After making contact with an eligible piece of solid matter, Taiga will utilize his Genma abilities to assimilate it, taking on its properties on his full body. When performing a full body assimilation, his full body will become the material he assimilates and he is able to "phase through" or "merge through" objects of the same material. This technique must be used with a discipline for the appropriate material he is merging with.

[color=#777][b][Composite Assimilation][/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Stance Taijutsu[/i]
After making contact with an eligible piece of solid matter, Taiga will utilize his Genma abilities to assimilate multiple materials at once, or add more materials to his current assimilation, allowing his body to become a composite of the multiple materials at once. After assimilation he is able to "phase through" or "merge through" objects matching the materials he has assimilated. This technique must be used with a discipline for the appropriate material he is merging with.

[color=#777][b][Contact Assimilation][/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Stance Taijutsu[/i]
After making contact with an eligible piece of solid matter and making contact with another party or item, Taiga will utilize his Genma abilities to assimilate himself and the target, for as long as contact is maintained. After assimilation, both parties will be able to "phase through" or "merge through" objects matching the materials he has assimilated. Breaking contact at anytime will cancel this effect and cause the other party to be "ejected" out of the object they are in unharmed. This technique must be used with a discipline for the appropriate material he is merging with.
Material DisciplinesShow
Taiga has learned how to utilize his Genma to take on the properties of various solid elements via assimilation. Each material requires a separate discipline.

MiscellaneousShow
[color=#777][b]Phantom Sensory[/b][/color]
C-Rank Discipline Taijutsu
Through training Taiga has gained the ability when merged with something to feel the things one would feel on their own back or body: points of pressure, force, and temperature through the object. This is like a second-nature for him. An example of usage being feeling vibrations to a point where based on the weight and distribution of pressure, he could differentiate a dog from a human on a surface. Taiga can spread his sense of touch (feel) through a variety of objects or surfaces when merged. The range of this technique is limited to the size of the object or surface he has merged with. Damage to a surface will not cause damage to Taiga as the sensations are not 1:1.

[color=#777][b]Phantom Bukijutsu[/b][/color]
C-Rank Maneuver
Taking advantage of the fact that things that Taiga holds can also phase through things along with his body, this maneuver uses raw speed, timing, and technique to allow Taiga to throw something such that he can make use of the few moments after an item leaves his hands that it still is capable of phasing. With a particularly short window of opportunity, the object can effectively stay phased after leaving his hand for a maximum of [Speed / 5] meter, speed being the speed the object is thrown at. After this distance, the object will have fully returned to it's original composition but continue its trajectory as expected.

[color=#777][b]Phantom Sensory Evolved[/b][/color]
A-Rank Discipline Taijutsu
Prerequisite: Phantom Sensory
Building upon the training Taiga has done to feel that which he is merged with, Taiga has honed and trained his sensory to an even greater level such that he is able to feel the pressure shifts and changes and even the presence of chakra along an object surface which he is merged into. This works at up to [Endurance] x 2 meters away from his position inside an object. For example, a bird flapping its wings would cause pressure downwards on the ground, or a fireball ripping through the ground would heat the air above the ground. These are all things he can sense.

[color=#777][b]Phantom Menace[/b][/color]
A-Rank Maneuver
After having merged with the material and phased completely into it, Taiga will cancel his merging with that material after pointing himself at a target, causing himself to be "ejected" from the material and repelling him out of it at rapid speed and striking along the way with all his momentum. It is extremely difficult for most opponents to know where he will pop out from, and adding to this, his movement has such speed that it is near impossible to see anything but a quick blur for anyone without appropriately ranked [Perception]-based techniques.
Konoha no SenkenShow
Roughly meaning "The Thousand Fists of Konoha", Konoha no Senken is a modern and relatively recent school of fighting that is the combination of many of the unique, titular fighting styles of Konohagakure no Sato. As such, it is often considered a rough and unorthodox style that somehow manages to take an orthodox approach to learning martial arts.
Requires: [Close Quarters Combat], [Medicine], [Acrobatics], [Perception], and [Deft Hands]

D-Rank
[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Ryouteki[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Before practitioners of Konoha no Senken can learn to fight, they must first adapt their minds and bodies to be capable of using both sides of their body equally. This practitioner has successfully completed such training and can use their left and right side interchangeably.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Ukemi[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Before practitioners of Konoha no Senken can learn to fight, they must first learn to seamlessly "fall", training their mat work until it is second-nature. This practitioner has successfully completed such training and can perform basic Ukemi: they may move into a roll, forwards, backwards or sideways from any position, allowing them to roll out of harm's way or negate some impact damage when falling or being slammed. Impacts from a distance of ([Enudrance] x 2) meter can be completely negated. Anything more is up to the situation.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Physical Tenketsu[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Before practitioners of Konoha no Senken can learn to fight, they must first study the physiology of a human opponent for to memorize the muscle groups and sensitive points. This practitioner is capable of identifying an opponent's physical pressure points (for example, the temples, inbetween ligaments, solar plexus, or the radial nerve) with relative ease, as if it was second-nature.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Tempo[/b][/color]
[i]D-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Drawing it's inspiration from the famed ever advancing movement of Konoha's Gouken, Konoha no Senken practitioners ingrain in-themselves a way of positioning and moving their body that constantly advances upon the opponent, allowing attack after attack fluidly and giving the opponent little option to flee. Practitioners are ultimately capable of using this way of advancing on their opponent to control the tempo of the battle and move it where they desire, causing interruption to opponent defensive stances.
C-Rank
[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Soaring Swallow[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu[/i]
Inspired by the Flying Swallow styled boxing of the Sarutobi's family, when an opponent lunges or charges forward, the practitioner will pivot on the foot matching the forward foot of their opponent and spin in the opposite direction. Depending on the speed performed, this causes the opponent to miss the practitioner, who then uses the momentum from the pivot to deliver a powerful hook to the opponent, intending to blind side them with intense power.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Dancing Leaf[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu[/i]
Drawing it's inspiration from the flurry of kicks of Konoha's Gouken, [url=http://i.imgur.com/qT3Hxlj.gifv]this combination[/url] uses continued rotating motions made by the user to give them buoyancy, allowing them to keep moving upward with their opponent as they move into gradually higher positioned strikes. Starting from a low crouch, the practitioner will spinning their body to deliver a swift sweep at the opponents feet aiming to at least upset their balance. They will then lunge off of their planted leg, rising upward and spinning back round with the sweeping leg to deliver a kick to the opponents gut. If this connects, they will immediately push off their opponent while simultaneously bringing their opposite knee into the opponents chin sending them airborne slightly, though gravity will quickly pulls the opponent back towards the ground. From here, the user will end the combination by spinning themselves into a heel drop from their other leg that strikes the opponent on the head and drives them into the ground.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Cross Wing[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Inspired by the Flying Swallow styled boxing of the Sarutobi's family, the practitioner has trained themselves to squares their feet a shoulder length apart and throws punches by crossing over the lead hand. This can be alternated as the user steps forward like a second-nature, allowing the user to cross over the opposite hand each time to create a chain of ferocious punches, while still keeping the other arm free to jab or guard. This way of delivering punches allows the user to overpower opponents who closely match their own strength.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Palm Succession[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu[/i]
[i]Required:[/i] [color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Tenketsu[/b][/color]
Inspired by the Jyuuken of the Hyuuga, the practitioner drops low then lunges in with an upward palm-strike at the opponents Solar Plexus, delivered with full force, moving their entire body into it and pushing up with their leg. If the opponent has less [Endurance] than the practitioner's [Strength], they will have the breath knocked out of them, causing them to have difficulty breathing for the next 3 posts. If the opponent also has less [Strength] than the practitioner, they will also be launched into the air at a rate of 1 meter per stat difference in the practitioners favor. If the opponent has at least 10 less [Strength] than the practitioner, this causes internal damage to their lungs which can be severely debilitating and potentially fatal.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Twin Palm Twig Breaker[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu[/i]
Drawing it's inspiration from Konoha's famed Ochiba style and infusing it with the palm strikes of Jyuuken, the practitioner steps to the side and pivots at the last possible moment of an opponents strike. This positions themselves behind the opponents arm. With both palms open and a few inches apart, facing opposite direction, the opponent will jam their palms into the opponents arm striking their radial nerve and their funny bone with immense force. If an opponent has less [Strength] than the practitioner their arm will usually collapse and their hand will open, dropping whatever they were holding in the process. If an opponent has at least 5 less [Strength] than the practitioner their forearm bone will fracture and their elbow will dislocate.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Chouharite[/b][/color]
[i]C-Rank Maneuver Nintaijutsu[/i]
Mimicking the famed Chouharite of the Akimichi family, Taiga will begin to channel chakra into his hand before swinging it. As his hand swings, a mass of smokey grey chakra 2 meters wide forms around his hand, like a very loose glove. The chakra is highly condensed with a weight comparable to that of an elephant or a boulder, heavy enough that the earth beneath Taiga will dent. As his swing follows through the "loose glove" will fly off delivering his slap. Beyond the immense weight having increased lethality this technique has the ability to send those equal to or weaker than Taiga's [Strength] hurdling through the air for [Strength] meters, or if from above, embed them into the ground itself like a nail, should they not be crushed first.
B-Rank
[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • The Monkey Sees[/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Humans follow patterns and in combat this is no exception, ranging from taijutsu to hand seals. Patterns already being easier to remember, Taiga has worked hard at actively committing whatever he sees to his short-term memory. This allows him to remember things such as the beginning torque to a kick or a hand seal pattern after seeing it once, so that he can recognize the technique if used later in a battle, giving him an advantage in anticipating his opponents next action and effectively making an opponent’s consecutive usage of a technique a liability.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Indomitable Will of Fire[/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
Taiga is a survivor of many things from the fall of Konoha to the horror of becoming a Genma host and nearly losing his very being multiple times. Through his stubbornness and his experience in his relatively short life Taiga has gained a strong sense of resistance in the face of adversity to the point that fear based tactics have a reduced effect on him.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Dance of the Falling Leaf/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
The only limit to the speed of which Taiga control his body, via rapid acceleration or assimilation, is the speed in which his mind can physically send the impulse to his body to do so. With Taiga's high body control, he has trained and honed his mind and body to be as one, capable of reacting near the speed of thought in terms of controlling himself. This allows him to create interesting attacks by rapidly changing his movement patterns while fighting.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Crippling Palm Dance[/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Maneuver[/i]
[i]Required:[/i] [color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Tenketsu[/b][/color], [color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Muscles[/b][/color]
Inspired by the Jyuuken of the Hyuuga, the practitioner drops to a low crouch raising one palm out directly in front of their head, the other palm held near their chest facing upward. From this still stance the user seemingly moves barely, but delivers sudden, explosive bursts capable of causing bruising at a minimum. Focused on a single-opponent and freeing all else from their mind, the user will rocket forward and jam their upper palm into the opponents Kidney, their lower into the Greater Sciatic nerve of the opponents leg. With almost no lag time they will reverse their hands and strike the opposite Kidney and Greater Sciatic never, shocking the opponent and causing their legs to go weak as the practitioner then lurches upwards and forwards striking the stomach, bladder, solar plexus, and sternum in a rapid succession. This will cause the opponent to lose their breath, fly into the air, and may cause them to lose control over their bladder and stomach. The shock of these strikes alone creates a large opening for the user to then advance forward, continuing their assault with 8 more strikes, along the arms and legs. If the practitioner has a [Strength] greater than the opponent's [Endurance], the opponent will find these strikes paralyze their arms and legs temporarily for 3 posts.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Tailwind[/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu[/i]
[i]Required:[/i] [Heavenly Body Control]
The Flying Swallow Style developed by the Sarutobi family is a NinTai style. To circumvent the need for ninjutsu in Konoha no Senken, practitioners instead use their own explosive movements to bend the wind around their body and create a powerful tailwind behind them. While they move, this tail wind violently circulates around their body, building up pressure. Each post the the user is consecutively moving forward at a minimum of [Speed]/2, the wind gains [Speed]/2 strength. It can be used as a shield to protect the user, or through the use of another technique can be released. The maximum amount of times the technique can gain speed is 2 times. If the user stops moving or drops below [Speed/2] for more than a post the wind dissipates.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Gentle Dance[/b][/color]
[i]B-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
[i]Required:[/i] [Acrobatics], [Close Quarters Combat], [Perception]
Inspired by the water-like dancing movements of the Hyuuga, Taiga has engrained staying pliant against force into his very essence. Through his knowledge of CQC, his perception, and acrobatic abilities he moves such that he is light on the balls of his feet or heels, always able to move and redirect force that his body is subjected to, such that he can ensure that he stays on his feet and is not toppled, flipped, tripped, or knocked back. Even if he is to lose his footing on the ground, Taiga can redirect himself to stick a stable landing.
A-Rank
[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • The True Flying Swallow[/b][/color]
[i]A-Rank Discipline Taijutsu[/i]
The wings provided to Taiga in his later Genma forms have become extensions of his own body, and allow him to take flight. Taiga is easily capable of moving them as if they had always been there, using them to gain altitude and glide upon the winds like a bird would.

[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Taiga no Rasengan[/b][/color]
A-Rank Maneuver Taijutsu
Required: [Heavenly Body Control]
After seeing Fanho use the legendary Rasengan, Taiga combined what he saw with his training in heavenly taijutsu from Sunagakure's monk bannin to create his own unique taijutsu-based version. By holding out one palm, Taiga will rotate his other hand around the open palm at super-human level speeds. This will cause a small tornado to form in the palm of his hand. Continuing on a little while longer will cause the tornado to stabilize into a spinning, spherical disc of air in his palm, roughly 1 foot in diameter. When slammed into a target, this spherical disc of air releases it's force outward from his palm at a strength equal to Taiga's [Speed]. The end effect is a jarring hit to the opponent which not only causes intense physical damage, but if more powerful than the opponent, will send them spiraling through the air for 5 meters for every point of strength difference. If a post passes with Taiga not continuing to spin the sphere, it will fade.

Additional Effect: If Taiga has a fully charged Tailwind he can release that energy along with the sphere, adding to it's strength and also allowing it to release slicing winds into the opponent, leaving a myriad of shallow bruises and cuts all over an opponent. While these cuts are weak, the sheer number of them can lead to a decent loss of blood if untreated.
S Rank
[color=orangered][b]Konoha no Senken • Flying Swallow, Birds of Prey[/b][/color]
S-Rank Discipline Taijutsu
Prerequisite: [Perception]
With immense willpower and perception skills, Taiga has trained himself to be one with his environment much like birds of prey. Able to keep his focus in all situations with great pose he is cognizant of subtle details around him, capable of honing in on the slightest changes of air or even the smallest movements in the fibers of an opponents clothes, allowing him to pick up on their movement and predict it before it is complete. This can also be used outside of combat for lip reading, or even guessing what someone writes by watching the eraser of the pencil etc. This causes him to seem rather ADD at times as his eyes rapidly tracking movements around him. A downfall to this technique however is that while his eyes and brain may be aware of movement, his body is not always capable of knowing and keeping up. Meaning he has to be physically capable still of responding to threats or capitalizing on weaknesses, even if he perceives them.

history
The Eighth Child...Show
The eighth child of Sarutobi Joutaru and Senju Michiko, Taiga was set to be born on the 8th of August, making him the most anticipated birth of the noble Sarutobi family and the legendary Senju clan in a century due to eights cultural meaning of luck. If the coming together of two legendary shinobi bloodlines was not enough, being born on such a day was a sign that this child would be destined for greatness, and when the day came and Taiga was born, they had no reason to expect otherwise. Things however proved different as the boy matured. By the age of three, the boy was able to walk on surfaces and perform other parlor tricks familiar to the shinobi world, and by the time he was 5, he entered the shinobi academy capable of using half of the basic ninjutsu required for the academy students to work.

While the academy and his father had figured him to be a prodigy, the Senju clan began to have their doubts. By the age of 8, Taiga had yet to manifest a Mokuton jutsu and had fallen behind the progress of his siblings in the Senju clan's abilities. The immense expectations had begun to way heavily on the young boy and his academy performance began to tank as he hopelessly spent all his time trying to learn Mokuton. His earlier successes chalked up to beginners luck, by the time he exited the academy at the age of 12 the general opinion of Taiga was that he was a lameduck, no different from an average shinobi. While his extended Senju family treated him differently, his mother and father loved him greatly. Dealing with the bullying of his siblings and cousins, Taiga dipped into a dark place. Struggling to work with his initial Inuzuka/Hyuuga teammates, he was taken off his Genin squad shortly after joining it.

At this time, Taiga's father Jotarou began to worry for his son. Not wanting him to think he was "less than," he asked Senju Shou, his wife's younger brother and a particularly strong Senju jounin, to take Taiga under his wing personally hoping that his son could succeed at using Mokuton his confidence could be restored. Through begging, Shou accepted Jotarou's plea and took his nephew in as his disciple.

Similar to Taiga, Shou had been a "failure" growing up and had struggled to use Mokuton until his mid-teens. This experience made Shou an empathetic tutor for Taiga. At 12, Taiga would leave Konohagakure with Shou to travel the world and train. Through their journeys, Taiga learned how to be a better shinobi and to believe in himself, bringing forth the power he had always had. He learned to be a goodman, and learned that despite his inability to use Mokuton in the end, he could be a powerful shinobi. Shortly before his 16th birthday Shou had received transmission to return to the village. The message was urgent and Shou would return to the village a week earlier than Taiga, ordering the boy to wait before his return.

To his great dismay and horror, when Taiga returned to Konohagakure he returned to a village that had been decimated by two criminals, Fushinkou Yaku and Konohagakure's own Enma. Worse, he learned his uncle Shou had tragically perished in battle against the two men while protecting genin. Extremely upset Taiga could never forgive himself for not being in the village during the attack. For not being there to protect his friends and family. This sent him into a depressed state for months. Unknown to him, his father, once more unable to see his son in this condition, spoke with the Shinobi Council and begged them to put his son on a team hoping it would take him out of his depression.

The council did so and placed Taiga on a team with two genin, Isuzu and Gene, under the supervision of an Inuzuka known as Kazuo. While Taiga and Gene were more often than not at each others necks, Isuzu truly brought the two together. Doing a score of missions and allowing each Genin to grow, the team would eventually come to an end when Isuzu chose to quit being a shinobi and Gene graduated to Chuunin. Without Isuzu to keep them together, Taiga and Gene reached new levels of conflict and eventually went separate ways with Gene pursuing a career in the anbu and Taiga suddenly being selected to become the next Jinchuuriki in Konohagakure.

As the council had imagined, beyond chakra compatibility, Taiga's bullheadedness and sheer determination had made him a great fit for the Genma's particularly toxic attitude, allowing him to ignore its harassment and push forward. Initially, through his own force of will and the seal, Taiga dominated his genma and quickly learned to use his abilities. While Sukairaa would never admit it, this gained his respect and made him more willing to work with his host. Through dialogue, Taiga learned Sukairaa's name, and in the end, the two began to form a strong and harmonious relationship... in their own way. This even led to Taiga giving Sukairaa complete freedom. By the end of his first year as the host and at the age of 17, he had completely mastered all forms of the Genma and had gained the strength to rival even most Jounin. This meant that when the world was thrust into war with the initial conflict at Soul Country, Taiga was promoted to Jounin and placed in charge of a squad defending a temple- only to suddenly be called back to defend the village with the emergence of a monster that was destroying the village.

In a moment of triumph, Taiga and Suakairaa went full form. The villagers were terrified but soon realized that the Genma that had once terrorized them was defending them, showing to the village once and for all the strength Taiga had accumulated as he took down the massive tree monster and protected the village. Hailed as the hero of the village, Taiga would not have long to enjoy this title as about a year later the world was thrust into war. At the age of 19, Taiga would perform various operations and enter various battles to defend his homeland, new territories, and help the forces of Konohagakure.

The war was hard on Taiga. He constantly watched good men and women around him die and saw the havoc the war brought- but worse, he saw his inability to save everyone no matter how powerful he became. Yet again while he was off in a foregn land, Konohagakure was attacked and fell to Kirigakure. Adding to this pain, in a large battle in Dragon Country Taiga lost a comrade who he deeply cared for- loved even. They died in his arms, his hands soaked with their blood. This became a re-occurring and traumatic nightmare for him... but it also changed Taiga.

He realized that war and just fighting head on was a horrible way to go about things. That to truly protect the village was to prevent war from ever even occuring, at all costs. With the war gone and entering a time of peace, the now 25 year old jinchuuriki has made a name for himself throughout the world be it as the hero of the leaf, the war, or winning tournaments in Steam country for Konohagakure.

Fresh off defeat in his candidacy for Hokage to his close friend Fanho, Taiga resolved himself to travel the world in order to protect Konohagakure. If he needed to use his legendary Genjutsu on entire villages, he would.

I'm not entirely certain what this ability is actually doing. As written it just kinda seems like clones with extra steps but the way it's written is kinda confusing and unclear as to what's actually happening.

Edited. It's delayed actions.

So Taiga can stand in a spot and punch the air. While this happens he's incorpreal, so he can't actually hurt or injure anyone. This is "recording" and action.

Later on within a certain timespan, he can then "play back" this action, and a "ghost" of him in that exact same spot, 100% doing whatever he did will appear. It can only be one action and needs to be exact. Any energy cost etc that occurs he still pays for.

seperate topic;
EDIT: I'm also editing his other ability to be strength based, since I guess he's physically moving people from the inside out like forcing them.

Can the phantoms be interacted with, interrupted, defeated, and so on? Are they visible from before the action begins (e.g. during hand seals or the chanelling phase)?
If no, my concern is that this might be avoiding all the regular methods of counterplay in combat (e.g. casting gen/ninjutsu without the target being able to interrupt the casting, throwing tai punches without telegraphing the strikes or being blockable, etc.). Thoughts?

I imagine a phantom that kicks you, you can block the kick and see it just like if he was physically kicking. For jutsu, real Taiga has to perform the channeling once already, so the phantom wouldn't do it, they'd just do the attack part. It can only do its action too, so if you block the kick thats it. It can't like pivot and puch you if it wasn't the jutsu/action it performed.

I'm open to your help wording this in an easier to understand way too ;) I know its kind of a "uuhh what" wording rn

In terms of are they visible thats a great question... would a visual indicator like shimmering light in the spot work (and when it actually attacks it fully forms like a ghost)?

After some extended discussion staff unfortunately agreed that the multiverse aspect isn't viable - I think you saw this on discord and mentioned it wasn't an issue and that you had another idea? If so please let us know when this is ready to be re-checked. Right now it's still including that aspect.

Regarding phantom possession, wouldn't it make more sense as Control, since he's controlling the Daigenma's power in order to phase/assimilate and exert his jinchuuriki power over the target? I suppose it could be contested by the opponent's strength, though.

Thanks for the update Valk. That's okay. I reworded/reworked the ability. Hows that? I'll just play of his ghost motif.

Well, when I phase into something I still physically move with my stats. I guess it actually makes more sense that I physically go inside and am manually pushing/moving my body inside theirs to control them since its

I reverted Phantom Possession back to Control as per Valk's ask.

Now, the only change to that ability is the wording to be more concise and the inclusion of inanimate obejcts.

EDIT: Updated for impending payout from ranking (20 points 4th place)
