Message: [QUOTE="Ańbu Juniør, post: 22158661, member: 15719"] [B](Tsukiakari No Shita No Kemono) Beast Beneath The Moonlight Type:[/B] Nintaijutsu [B]Background:[/B] Beast Beneath the Moonlight is a unique martial art created by Kōtetsu alongside his Ninken, and perfected through practical combat while participating in the [URL='https://animebase.me/threads/annwyn-274.781555/post-22099845']Eternal Hunt[/URL] alongside the Fang Clan of Annwyn. Formed not from formal doctrine but from necessity and survival amid constant challenges from mythical beasts, including lycanthropes and direwolves, and repeated life-or-death encounters with dangerous fae. The Inuzuka abandoned rigid stances and forms, instead allowing instinct, aggression, and animal-like reflex to shape his fighting method. The style was developed as a means to fully integrate the Ninken merged within him into physical combat. Rather than excluding them from battle for their protection, he instead utilized the ability of Fenrir’s Lesser Oblige, a technique developed as a means to keep his Ninken from being targeted by large-scale attacks and singularly targeted by enemies. [B]Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:[/B] The Basis of Beast Beneath the Moonlight is the use of the Fenrir’s Lesser Oblige technique. This allows the user, with their body as the vessel, to enter into a lasting fusion with their Ninken, thereby inhabiting the user’s body. Amongst other things, a benefit of this technique is the ability for the user as the host to manifest the appendages, such as the tails or ears of their Ninken, onto their own body. While some of these appendages could prove useful in combat, the Inuzuka had only manifested them in the past for cosmetic purposes. [B]Fenriru No Gimuzuke | Fenrir's Lesser Oblige[/B] [SPOILER]Rank: S Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive Range: Short Chakra: 40 ( -15 per turn ) Damage: N/A Description: This technique was designed to rectify the weaknesses of managing multiple bodies within Battle. Many Inuzuka found that their Ninkens became easy targets for area of effect Ninjutsu techniques, and often experienced problems with defending from widespread attacks without compromising their Ninkens health or position. As such this technique was developed as a fix for these flaws. This technique allows an Inuzuka to enter into a lasting fusion with their Ninken(s). While fused the Ninken will inhabit the user's body and the user will gain the ability to use techniques that require 'Four-Legged Beast' transformation as a prerequisite and will also gain the senses of their Ninken. The Ninken(s) will be aware of the world through the user's senses however their mind and chakra systems will remain separate. The Inuzuka however will still be capable of tapping into their Ninken's chakra supply and will be capable of using it to bolster their own supply for future techniques. Lastly, fused Ninken can demerge from their host body at any point in time, and can also choose to re-emerge without cost. Merging and de-merging however is not instant, instead, it simply functions as a Ninken or Inuzuka walking outside of the host's body - and as such is far inferior to the merging abilities of Souma No Kou. One added benefit is that a host can have appendages such as tails or wolf ears that can prove useful in combat but are largely cosmetic, the main host can also be switched at will - housing the user and other Ninken(s) within a Ninken's body instead. Note: - Must be posted at either the start of the battle or in the user's biography, and is active at all times. - In the case of deactivation (On the user's account or as a result of an enemy technique) this technique can be reactivated again at the cost of a move. Each reactivation will require more chakra than the last, doubling each time. - This technique serves as the ultimate baseline form for Inuzuka clan members. After using another transformation the user is capable of reverting back to this form without completely canceling the previous transformation, instead, they retain the physiological benefits of the other transformation (Such as increased sensing and other abilities) and are also capable of re-entering the previously activated transformation without cost as it is still considered active. (Does not distort or ignore turn restrictions)[/SPOILER] With the aim of harmonizing the connection between an Inuzuka and their Ninken, Beast Beneath The Moonlight aims to enhance their merger to form the core of the fighting style, which is split into two paths. The first path, known as Hangengetsu (Half Moon), directs the merged Ninken’s ability to influence and affect the world outside of their partner, while the second path, known as Mangetsu (Full Moon), deals with the Inuzuka’s ability to manifest appendages on their own body for close combat. Common to both paths is the concept of synchronization, which comes as second nature to an Inuzuka and their Ninken due to years of fighting using collaborative techniques. This familiarity and unique merged state allow the Ninken to use techniques at their own volition or in unison with their Inuzuka partner, especially as their chakra reserves are separated. Simply put, this means that both can use chakra-costing techniques simultaneously. Hangengetsu (Half Moon) allows the Ninken to influence the world outside their partner through appendages that manifest on their body. This would allow them to achieve various effects, such as manifesting tail(s) on their partner that can be used to attack an opponent in close range or defend against incoming attacks. Or manifest vibrating fur on the partner’s body that can be used defensively or damage opponents on contact. It can also be used to influence the world outside of their partner at range. An application of this is manifesting the ninken’s head, which appears somewhat similar to Double-Headed Wolf and allows them to use Ninken-specific techniques that launch blasts or beams of chakra from the mouth. Mangetsu (Full Moon) is the second path of the style, covering the Inuzuka’s ability to consciously manifest the ninken’s appendages of their own body. Through a partial use of the Human Beast Combination Transformation ability of an Inuzuka and their Ninken, in addition to the supportive nature of Yang energy, an Inuzuka is capable of truly manifesting hybridized versions of their Ninken’s limbs similar to Lycanthropy. Visually, this appears as if the user’s hands or feet are transformed into those of a wolf’s. The incorporation of Yang not only assists with the transformation but also serves to augment the speed or strength of the transformed limb. [B]Example Techniques: (Tsukiakari No Shita No Kemono: Kakete Iku Mikadzuki) Beast Beneath The Moonlight: Waning Crescent Type:[/B] Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary [B]Rank:[/B] A [B]Range:[/B] Short [B]Chakra:[/B] 30 [B]Damage:[/B] 60 [B]Description:[/B] This technique is a basic Hangengetsu path ability. It allows a merged Ninken to manifest its tails outside the Inuzuka partner’s body. Empowered by chakra, this essentially turns a Ninken’s tail into a weapon that can be utilized to pierce, tear, and rip through enemies. By employing the Inuzuka clan’s signature body-transforming techniques, the Ninken can extend their tails twice their body size to attack or defend independently of their partner. After use, the manifested tails will retract. [B]Additional effects and Restrictions:[/B] Users of Beast Beneath The Moonlight must be Jouning Ranked or higher and a member of the Inuzuka clan. One’s biography must have Fenrir’s Lesser Oblige activated and merged with at least one ninken, and have mastered Yang Release. [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)] [I]∞ [/I]Declined. While very interesting, not only does this clash meaningfuly with Imp's Combat Summoner seal, but customs involving the merger or summoning of animal parts are no longer allowed. ∞[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
