[KG] Sage Transformation

[The Mockingjay]

Heda with Howard.

 

[Howard]

Yo, explain what you already know about the ability. Things like how it's done, how you can use it, and if you have any basic questions go ahead and ask them and I'll try to answer them as best as I can after that we'll move onto learning the techniques.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Well, the KG is based around the concept that we draw in natural energy from around us and use this energy in order to morph parts of or our entire body into different shapes or forms depending on the situation at hand, from weapon on our arms to jet boosters on our feet... The possibilities are near enough endless. I know I have questions, I can't think of them right now though so I'll ask as we go if that's okay x

 

[Howard]

Alright, sorry about the long wait got sidetracked with stuff and then Xenoverse 2 happened.

The first application of the abilities the basic Sage Transformation technique can be used offensively or defensively to augment your body in nearly any way you want limited only by your imagination. It's great for usage with taijutsu and even tanking low-mid level techniques while taking no damage. Damage is tied to how you use the technique something small like gaining claws would obviously be on the low end of the spectrum dealing about thirty damage but you could easily extend large blades from your forearm to gain more damage or augment close range combat.

With all that in mind, use the technique to create three different and distinct transformations.

( Senninka ) - Sage Transformation
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: C-A
Range: Short
Chakra: 15-30
Damage: 30-60
Description: Sage Transformation is an ability wielded by Jūgo's clan, which increases their physical abilities and allows their bodies to perform various shape-shifting feats due to their innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to altering their body structure, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities. In the experiments created by Orochimaru, this ability is referred to as "Cursed Seal Transformation" (Juinka). The transformation can be used countless times in battle and sustained while the user has enough chakra to do so. The damage the technique can produce is proportionate to the body part altered and the way it was altered. This technique enables the user to produce melee attacks or defenses through the alteration of his body.
Note: Can only be used by Jugo Clan bios

So firstly I'd create a large spear-like appendage which extends from my arm, replacing my right hand. I then cause my stomach to open up and split into two, allowing any thrown projectile to pass straight through me before my body eventually returns to normal... But it's raining outside, so I give myself a big armored umbrella hat before leaving the house.

Are things like that possible? Modifying our body structure in ways that completely distort how we should look i.e. Making holes in ourselves to let things pass through us, or indenting our body part to dodge better etc. Or can we only make new additions on top of what we have.

I've outright seen Adachi say the only limitation on the technique is your imagination. However if you're really into the ability you could always just make a CJ that does that. It's a cool enough concept and one I actually didn't think about in all the time I had my bio. Shifting your organs, and leaving openings in your body and such. With the fact that it's been shown that clan members can stretch their arms, and create large jet like opening, in their body I'd personally say it's easily doable with the basic Sage Transformation technique but there's always that chance that a mod could disagree.

Anyway next one.

( Kassokuken ) - Living Wall Fist
Type: Offensive
Rank: C-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: While using his Sage Transformation ability, the user can alter his arm into a piston like appendage that he uses to increase the power of his punches.

For this all you do is alter your upper arm turning your elbow and upper arm into a piston. After punching you can activate the piston to create a compounding effect increasing the damage of a regular punch or strike. I've never really found a niche for it, but it could be somewhat useful for striking the opponent while you have them grappled and your hand is busy as it was shown that it works without an actual punch and is more of the force of the piston activating and pushing forward with all the energy being transferred into an opponent's body.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Situation reliant and pretty easily done with the prior technique, although might come in handy defensively on certain situations... Although the low rank hurts it in that sense.

No questions, it's a fairly simple one/

 

[Howard]

Next.

( Senninka: Funsha no Tobikomi ) - Sage Transformation: Jet Booster Jump
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates many jet-like appendages on his back to create a powerful blast which he can use to dash forward at great speed. If used mid air, the user can sustain some control over his "flight". The technique however is only good for a burst of speed and cannot be sustained for flight for example.

You create open jet-like growths on your back and then release chakra from them. If you do it properly while moving you'll be able to create momentum and gain a quick burst of speed. If you're in the air you can glide for a few moments but it won't give you flight.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Pretty good for dodging or closing the distance depending on what you're looking to do... I'd probably try to use it a lot to kick up dust and stuff from the ground, the jet bursts must give off some kinda push in order to lift and drive a person forward so it'd effect the world around it too.

What kind of effect would this jet have if released against an opponents skin? Would it act like fire and burn?

As the technique itself doesn't deal damage I'd think at best a knock-back from the force.

Next

( Senninka: Funsha Atooshi ) - Sage Transformation: Jet Booster Boost
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A ( +40 to a Taijutsu move )
Description: The user will manifest jet like appendages from his body to boost the damage of a punch, kick or other taijutsu related move by triggering them in the right point and adding more power to his attack. It can also be used supplementary to, for example, increase his strength to throw an ally or a projectile or to help defend from a technique by putting more strength behind a defensive move.

This one is just an application of the previous one, you create boosters to increase the momentum of a strike to deal more damage.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Not a lot to say really, you create a jet on your body and use it for a quick burst of momentum, one question I do have would be whether or not we could use this to deflect oncoming projectiles back at the opponent if timed correctly, and if so, would it do so for projectile techniques? And being as this is a B-rank burst of chakra, would that work for anything C-rank and below?

Sorry for the late reply I get distracted easily.

You're actually striking something so if it's a sharp projectile or semi-intangible like wind, water, lighting, mud or fire it's not going to do anything if you hit it even with the extra momentum. With solid earth you'll most likely be able to break it but I don't see it deflecting back at the opponent in a way that they'll then have to defend from it and even then a sharp earthen projectile could still probably cut you. This is more of a technique used to increase your damage out-put when it comes to taijutsu.

It's not a burst of chakra that you're directing towards an opponent or an object you're releasing it back away from what you're striking so you can increase the momentum of your next hit. [

( Kansei Senninka ) - Complete Sage Transformation
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 (-15 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Sage Transformation (Senninka) is an ability wielded by Jūgo's clan, which increases their physical abilities and allows their bodies to perform various shape-shifting feats due to their innate ability to passively absorb natural energy. It is a multifaceted ability that permits them to achieve feats ranging from creating various weapon-like appendages to altering their body structure, as well as a general increase in their physical capabilities. The user can fully infuse his body with the gathered natural energy and transform it completely. When he fully transforms, the user gains a massive power boost but loses his mind to his murderous side, signified by a change in his voice. When transforming, the user's body changes color and his sclera turns black. Each member's full transformation appears differently, ranging from different types of horns to stripes across the face. In this full form, the user is incredibly resilient, being able to take Taijutsu attacks up to B-Rank with little damage and being able to function even when severely injured. He can further manipulate his body into suitable weapons and manifest chakra cannons from it to attack with powerful chakra blasts. He can manifest chakra boosters from his extremeties to power his taijutsu moves or to "dash" in speed or even to soften a fall. His physical strength becomes greatly increased, adding +25 to his Taijutsu techniques and his chakra becomes stronger, adding +10 to his elemental chakra. He becomes faster and can regenerate minor wounds easily. His resilience is such that he can take C-Rank Ninjutsu and not suffer hindering damage. Because of his rage and his anger, he becomes unable to use techniques that would otherwise require precise chakra control such as Genjutsu, Fuuinjutsu or similar complex fields/techniques. After its deactivated or deactivates as it times out, the user is left drained of his stamina and unable to use Taijutsu techniques for 2 turns.
Note: Can only be used by Jugo's Clan bio
Note: Lasts 6 turns and can only be used twice

It's the basic Sage Transformation skill on a larger scale. You transform your entire body and due to that gain several immense boosts in power as described above. Your bio also becomes mentally unstable meaning you're unable to use jutsu that require precise chakra control like genjutsu and fuuinjutsu as well as other similar fields.

Then.

( Senninka: Chakra Bakuhastu ) - Sage Transformation: Chakra Blast
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: While in his Complete Sage Transformation, the user grows more of his jet booster like appendages, extends them, and then uses them to gather chakra which then forms a huge powerful chakra blast.

Extend several large boosters like the ones from the previous techniques from your back, shoulders and upper-body and release a massive amount of chakra from them creating a large blast.

 

[The Mockingjay]

I get that, but look at it this way. In order to give force to a blow the jets must offer some level of momentum and so must enter the point of release with some amount of force. Let's say there's a kunai travelling at my palm, I release the 'jet' from that hand this would power up any elbow strike I might throw, that is the application of the technique that we see written down... However, what remains is the connection between kunai and jet blast.

--
When transforming into these forms, does the ability to create jets and morph body parts become passive? Can we just do it at will or will we still need to use the required techniques to do so? The description within these techniques makes it seem like the prior, but that seems a little OP to me xD

Ahh okay, see, so this is what I was getting at the with the last post, the effect that one of these chakra jets would have on an opponent. This is a concentrated technique designed specifically for what I've been asking so I guess it could answer the questions I've had previously. What effect does this have on the body? Is it blunt damage? Burn? Does it cut and shred?

It's a burst of momentum not a sustained release of chakra, if you used it in the way you described putting a booster on the palm of your hand directed in front of you all that momentum is going to throw your hand back at you making you hit yourself. The chakra isn't highly compressed in the boost technique and isn't meant to be used against solid objects I don't think it's going to give the force you need to deflect something if it clashes with something else. it's enough to increase the speed at which your limb is moving to create a stronger strike, at best you could divert an incoming kunai because that can be done freeform but the moment a jutsu comes into play I doubt you'll have the same outcome. This is what the released chakra looks like in the boost and jump techniques [

]. Though you, do you.

I've never personally taken it as passive as it isn't stated as such I've used the Complete Sage Transformation technique in a similar manner as the basic Sage Transformation technique. I use the Complete Sage Transformation technique to make alterations by posting it again and spending the move slot to use it.

This one would cause severe blunt force trauma as well as severe friction burns. There's a difference in chakra when you compare this to the boost, or jump techniques. This is compressed chakra molded and used to create a blast, with the boost and jump technique it's just chakra released quickly and away from you to create momentum. [

] This is the technique you're looking for if you want to use it against projectiles and jutsu as it's a more solid variation compared to the almost gaseous in nature chakra used in boost and jump. This is also the chakra type you'd want to explain when writing any CJ if you want the destructive properties.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Okay cool, that gives me some cool ideas for jutsu for sure. Should be able to achieve some really interesting results if played and written well enough

I've asked Adachi to look over the question I asked in the 5th post of this thread for us and post here to let us know of the possibility for us to move vitals and stuff so that'll be good to find out too.

Thanks for doing this for me Howard!.
