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, [B]appearing as thin, intertwining ribbons along the arms, legs, torso, and head[/B]. 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[B] leaves sealing marks at the point of impact, called Lesser Vessels, that appear more like jagged, cracked lines than the user's ribbon-like Extraordinary Vessels. These Lesser Vessels continuously [/B]release, or unseal, Yang chakra into a target [B]in order to disrupt their balance of chakras through a forceful infusion of Yang, as well as their physical states, where the Yang chakra weakens and make them more susceptible to physical damage.[/B] 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 [B]the dealing of damage and placement of Lesser Vessels upon a target directly through Fervor techniques. [/B]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. [B]Likewise the user is unable to mold elemental or Yin chakra[/B] whilst performing Fervor or they risk interrupting themselves as well. [B]Immolation is the process by which Lesser Vessels left on a target's body from Fervor techniques progressively disrupt their balance of Yin-Yang chakra and reduce their physical defenses. While active, it appears as yellow flame-like chakra that sprout from the Lesser Vessels. The flames do not harm a target directly but rather increase the damage of other physical techniques against them such as Earth, Water, Taijutsu, etc., by weakening their physical constitution through Yang chakra. Essentially making them 'brittle'. The Lesser Vessels, through Immolation, also continuously displace significant amounts of Yin chakra, limiting the use and effectiveness of Spirit-based fields that rely on it such as Genjutsu, Yin Release, Yamananka, etc., and at the highest ranks, even limit the use of Elemental Ninjutsu due to severe imbalance. For spiritual entities and other chakra-based targets, Immolation 'burns' them similarly to real fire, where the target is gradually reduced to nothing as Yang chakra tips and then destroys their internal equilibrium of chakra. This effect lingers after Fervor techniques, and its limiting strength and duration will be outlined in each. Due to being advanced seals, the Lesser Vessels can only be removed through surges of equivalent/greater chakra or by destroying the affected area, which is the medium of the unsealing process. They also destroy opposing barriers and sealing scripts of equal or lesser chakra at targeted locations and prevent their re-application unless removed.[/B] 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 [B]while also leaving behind Lesser Vessels that disrupt chakra balance significantly more than the other Forms. Because of this they are usually used to disable and limit targets' Yin-related abilities more specifically[/B]. [I]Tiger[/I] form requires the exclusive use of fists and is characterized by punches and other offensive arm-based attacks of Fervor. This form combines the [B]physicality altering[/B] nature of Yang chakra with raw strength [B]to weaken and then[/B] overwhelm defenses with explosive power, [B]aimed at leaving behind large 'cracks' (Lesser Vessels) on targets that consume their entire bodies or regions of the terrain rather than just select areas, unlike the other forms, causing them to take increased damage from a winder range of angles and locations[/B]. The [I]Leopard[/I] form 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, [B]defending physical attacks and strengthening the body through 'Self Immolation' which is caused by the Extraordinary Vessels unsealing molded Yang chakra into the user's body. In this way it is able to heal and augment the user as they perform Fervor rather than weaken and limit them as the Lesser Vessels do in opponents. [/B] [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 [B]Immolating them through Lesser Vessels left behind from each strike. The Immolation limits them from performing Genjutsu and other Yin-related techniques for three turns unless removed while also causing them to take increased (30 DMG) from subsequent Fervor techniques that strike the affected area directly. At the end of the barrage the user will launch the opponent into the air with an uppercut or high kick where the yellow flames of Immolation sprout[/B] from their bodies in a bright 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 [B]Extraordinary [/B]Vessels 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 them. [B]Targets struck by this attack are instantly Immolated, causing them to take increased (20 DMG) damage from subsequent Fervor/Taijutsu techniques and unable to perform Genjutsu and Yin-related techniques above S-ranked for up to four turns. [/B] [/SPOILER][/SPOILER] [B]Additional Effects & Restrictions:[/B] Being bolstered by both Yang chakra [B]and Advanced Fūinjutsu[/B], each Fervor technique contains more chakra and deal more damage than the average Taijutsu in addition to [B]imbuing Lesser Vessels that cause Immolation[/B], which is centered around disrupting physical energy, state, and balance of Yin/Yang chakras. Techniques of the style are also able to affect [B]spiritual[/B] and chakra-based entities based on the unsealing property of the [B]Lesser [/B]Vessels recognizing both chakra and [B]Yin-related[/B] objects as 'targets'. The Extraordinary Vessels do not interfere with other body seals on the practitioner and do not count towards the body seal limit, and are only affected by Yang, Yin, Senjutsu, and Yin-Yang chakra. Fervor Specialty is called 'Enlightened' and allows for 20 additional damage to[B] Taijutsu techniques [/B]and 10 more effective chakra to Fervor techniques. [/QUOTE]
