[HR][/HR] [CENTER][B][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/qvoJuU0.png[/IMG] Netsui - Fervor[/B] [I]"Harness the Inner Sun."[/I] [/CENTER] [B]Type: [/B]Yang + Taijutsu + Fūinjutsu [B]Background:[/B] One of many names given to the indescribable passion formed when a human approaches the Divine, 'Fervor', belongs to a sect of nameless monks said to reside at the peak of a great mystical mountain called the Sunlit Monastery. There they exist and practice in seclusion from the outside world, having very little attachment to the ego and it's frivolities, like the Ninja World society as it were. The dedication and strength needed to climb this nigh-insurmountable mountain peak is considered the initiation ritual for the hopeful, to which the monks have traditionally never offered aid. The journey itself teaches the main tenets of the Order: Perseverance, Strength, and the Inner Flame or 'Sun' of Life, known to outsiders as 'Yang energy', to them as 'Chimil'. Without these the basic understandings of enlightenment, or Fervor, many freeze to death in the unforgiving heights that lead to the Monastery. [B]Description of Abilities and the Inner Workings of the Style:[/B] Fervor is the union of Chimil, the Inner Sun (Yang chakra manipulation) and martial arts through advanced Fūinjutsu. At it's base lies intimate knowledge of the physical body, both without as in the limbs, and within, as with the light of the Inner Sun (Yang energy) that maintains all life. The nameless monks believe it does so through patterns, or channels, not unlike the chakra pathway system. The difference is that every living thing has these channels, called Meridians, even those incapable of Ninjutsu as nothing would be 'alive' without them. Yang is also considered the necessary counterbalance to Yin in that it governs the physical energy and nature of the body as opposed to the mind. Fervor as a fighting style depends on this connection of Yang chakra to physical energy. Each initiate is branded with a set of sealing marks that are designed to control the flow of Yang chakra through the 'Meridians' or Yang pathways of the body in order to evoke specific techniques, very much like how hand seals would mold one's chakra for a specific jutsu. Called the Extraordinary Vessels, these sealing marks effectively substitute hand seals for the channeling of Yang chakra through the 'Meridians' of the body. To flow one's Yang chakra through the Vessels certain rites have to be performed first, all of which rely on manipulating one's physical energy, specifically by moving their body. Motions such as forming a circle with the arms or taking the pose of an animal essentially begin the Yang chakra molding process required to access techniques of Fervor. Being a martial style foremost, Fervor's movement rites are directly tied to the nameless monks' own unique way of fighting, based primarily around the hands and making various animalistic shapes and forms of them (Hung Gar Kung Fu - Five Animals Form) to attack and defend. Upon contact with a target through these Taijutsu techniques the user is able to release, or unseal, their Yang chakra molded by the Extraordinary Vessels into said target for various effects that effectively constitute Yang Release, performed through Taijutsu. Each technique of the fighting style can then be broken down into two phases: the Yang chakra molding phase, which is Taijutsu-based actions and movement, and the release phase, which is the unsealing of the user's Yang chakra from the Extraordinary Vessels into a target directly through contact. The Five Animal Forms of Fervor are: Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Leopard, and Crane. Each has a distinct appearance and manner of attack involving the limbs. Beginning with the [I]Dragon[/I] form which is characterized by forming the fingers into 'claws'. Fervor techniques of this form are usually offensive and performed in a sweeping or slashing manner using the clawed hands to strike multiple times at one or more targets. The [I]Snake[/I] form sees the practitioner flattening their palms and extending the fingers for jabs or open-palmed strikes. Attacks of this form are quick, aimed at striking outside of a target's awareness at vital areas such as weak points on the body. [I]Tiger[/I] form requires the exclusive use of fists and is characterized by punches and other arm-based attacks of Fervor. This form combines the boisterous nature of Yang chakra with raw strength to overwhelm defenses with explosive power. The [I]Leopard[/I] style involves leg-based Fervor techniques such as kicks and stomps as well as movement while attacking and defending. Finally the [I]Crane[/I] form is considered the strictly defensive and supplementary side of the style, relying on redirecting attacks through circular motions of the wrist and forearm along with certain body stances. Much like how hand seals can be interrupted such as by means of extreme speed (e.g. Iaidō), so too can the rites of Fervor. If any motion is interrupted the Yang chakra will disperse and the Fervor technique will fail. This also means that the user will be unable to perform any other technique that requires movement such as Taijutsu or mold chakra for other jutsu while performing Fervor or they risk interrupting themselves as well. The Extraordinary Vessels are an interconnected system of advanced seals that appear as intertwining ribbons along the body, dimly yellow in color. Being tied to the user's chakra system, these sealing marks are kept dormant to allow the user to perform techniques regularly. Upon being activated they take over the chakra system such that only Yang and non-elemental chakra may flow as well as the minimal amount of Yin needed to stay functional (to be submitted as its own technique). This essentially unlocks Fervor techniques as they cannot be performed without the Vessels despite utilizing only Yang chakra. Each Vessel is tuned to release Yang chakra with a specific use, like a jutsu, meaning that depending on which body part and corresponding Extraordinary Vessel was used to perform the Fervor technique different effects of the fighting style may come into play. Explicitly connected to the Five Animal Forms of Fervor, each has a corresponding location on the body according to the 'Meridians' there. As the user moves, the transfer of Yang chakra throughout the body is visualized by the Extraordinary Vessels as a faint yellow light traveling along the skin. The Yang chakra stays within their body up until the Vessels themselves come into contact with a target. [INDENT][I]Dragon Vessel:[/I] Seen as a faint whirlpool pattern on the forehead. This directs the flow of Yang chakra to and from the head, specifically the brain and eyes. Yang chakra is usually molded from other Vessels of the body and brought here where it is released from the head or eyes directly.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Snake Vessel: [/I]Stems from Dragon on the user's forehead in the form of a serpentine flow that travels over the top of the head and follows the spine down the back. It heals and repairs the body with the use of Yang chakra molded through certain non-combative stances of the style.[/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Tiger Vessel:[/I] This mark covers the user's arms from the shoulders down and guides Yang chakra to the hands where it is released into a target either through the hands, as with open-palmed strikes and punches, or the forearms as with certain defensive techniques of the Crane Form.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Leopard Vessel: [/I]Covers the legs from the hip down, helping to guide Yang chakra to and from those regions where it is released during the few kick-based techniques of the style, but also to channel Yang chakra generated from running and other movement to other Vessels of the body.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]Crane Vessel:[/I] Connected at the center of the chest is the final Vessel which acts as a conduit for all the others. Able to draw in Yang chakra molded from movement and distribute it to select areas or the entire body in supplementary surges of Yang Release tied to the style.[/INDENT] [SPOILER="Example Techniques:"] [B](Netsui: Tenchō no Senkō) Fervor: Zenith Flare[/B] [SPOILER]Type: Offensive Rank: A Range: Short Chakra: 40 Damage: 80 Description: Taking the Dragon form, the user makes claws of their hands and unleash a barrage of swipes at the opponent. Each hit damages the target while unsealing trace amounts of Yang chakra that disrupt physical energy, paralyzing them throughout. At the end of the barrage the user will launch the opponent into the air with an uppercut or high kick where the Yang chakra is released from their bodies in a bright yellow burst, similar to fireworks.[/SPOILER] [B](Netsui: Doryoku) Fervor: Endeavor[/B] [SPOILER]Type: Defensive/Supplementary Rank: S Range: Short Chakra: 60 Damage: N/A Description: The user adopts a wide, low stance while bringing the arms forward in a circular motion, using the Crane Vessel to distribute the Yang chakra gathered from this motion into their entire body. The user is then able to withstand great physical force by bolstering their body with Yang chakra, and in cases of techniques that carry less chakra, redirect the attack upon physical contact with the Tiger Vessel on their arms.[/SPOILER] [B](Netsui: Tamashī Tenka) Fervor: Soul Ignition[/B] [SPOILER]Type: Offensive Rank: B Range: Short Chakra: 30 Damage: 60 Description: A single punch delivered after crossing the arms and channeling Yang chakra into the Tiger Vessel. The user drives their fist forward or downward in a straight-punch that has enough force to push back small to medium-sized summons or shatter the ground around the user by unsealing great amounts of Yang chakra into it.[/SPOILER] [B](Netsui: Uchinaru Taiyō no Chimiru) Fervor: Chimil, the Inner Sun[/B] [SPOILER]Type: Supplementary Rank: N/A Range: N/A Chakra: N/A Damage: N/A Description: The activation sequence for the Extraordinary Vessels is marked by any offensive motion the practitioner wishes to take, such as clenching the fists, punching, stomping the ground, or taking a fighting stance. The Vessels are activated passively at the cost of a move but this cannot be done alongside any other technique that requires motion or chakra apart from other Fervor techniques. Once activated the seals take over the chakra system such that only Yang and non-elemental chakra may flow. [/SPOILER][/SPOILER] [B]Additional Effects & Restrictions:[/B] Being bolstered by molded Yang chakra, each Fervor technique contains more chakra and deal more damage than the average Taijutsu in addition to affecting targets with various effects of Yang chakra manipulation centered around disrupting their physical energy, state, and balance of Yin/Yang chakras. Techniques of the style are also able to affect chakra-based entities based on the unsealing property of the Vessels recognizing both chakra and physical objects as 'targets'. The Extraordinary Vessels do not interfere with other body seals on the practitioner and [B]do not count towards the body seal limit[/B], and are only affected by Yang, Yin, Senjutsu, and Yin-Yang chakra. This applies to releasing its effects from targets as well. Fervor requires mastery over Yang Release, Taijutsu, and Advanced Fūinjutsu. Specializing in Fervor allows the practitioner [B]to deal +20 additional damage with offensive Fervor techniques and +10 chakra to defensive or supplementary ones[/B]. [JUSTIFY][COLOR=rgb(61, 142, 185)]± Declined. This needs a bit of work, as much as I like the visual and aesthetics of the style, it doesn't really come together as a Custom Fighting Style outside of [B]punching with Yang [/B]- a lot of what you describe could be standalone CJs, and the utilization of Fuuinjutsu (especially at an advanced stage) doesn't really come through strongly. This needs more to make it a bit more unique to justify being a CFS. I know everyone wants to be the Immortal Iron Fist >.> ±[/COLOR][/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
