This was not a good enough reason to use in battle, so this style was perfected by the legendary scythe meister until it was both elegant and useful in battle and considered by some even superior to that of the sword. It is seen as an elegant and flowing dance with a scythe instead of a sword and embodies the finesse of spirituality rather than the brute force of the physicality. It further elevates Ronin, warriors of the spirit, to be able to compete with even the top of the food chain of Shinobi, without needing such elements or brutal and outdated ways of the sword. This style was eventually stolen and utilized by samurai as well, but in a less effective way as it was never meant for their use. But alas, in this day and age, stealing sometimes puts food on the table. [B]Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style: [/B]Crescent Grim is an art that was developed by rogue Ronin that picked up the way of the scythe instead of the sword as a way of rebellion against the ones who outcasted them. As Samurai and Ronin would mainly be focusing on offensive techniques, practitioners of Crescent Grim developed ways to use their scythe to block large attacks, spiritually enlarger their scythe's presence, and rebound oncoming jutsu being able to send it back, encompassing more ground when both attack [I]and [/I]defending. This art is mostly encompassing more of a "flowing" way of battling as a Ronin as opposed to the onslaught of slashes and thrusts that the conventional Samurai and Ronin use. Thus, taking a more slower and controlled approach to battling, preferring to dance than blitz. It is about what lies in the soul and connecting with that instead of brute force, which a Ronin was never meant to use but have been tainted to believe so and act as such even though for this very reason were they separated from their samurai brethren. [B]Example Techniques: (Kuresento Gurimu: Ribaundo) - Crescent Grim: Rebound Type:[/B] Offensive/Defensive [B]Rank:[/B] A-S [B]Range:[/B] Short/Short-Med [B]Chakra:[/B] 30/40 [B]Damage:[/B] N/A [B]Description:[/B] The user will enlarge their scythe with their spiritual energy. As an elemental attack is oncoming, the user will use their scythe to scoop up the attack and do a full 360 degree turn, swinging their scythe and sending the technique back to the opponent at the same speed but one rank lower. However, the technique sent back is sent back in a spiritual form. It is able to be seen just like normal and still has the physical traits as the original jutsu, able to be seen and all, the only difference is, is that it will not do physical damage to the opponent but spiritual and must adhere to the rules of spiritual techniques. The jutsu must be in close range of the user to be sent back and can be sent back anywhere from short to medium range. After touching the user's scythe and converting the technique into spiritual energy, the user will be impervious to its damage as their spirit is now what the returning technique is composed of. The S-Rank version of the technique can be used three times per battle, with two turn cooldown between each use The A-Rank version can be used four times per battle with a one turn cooldown in between uses, and can be used on any A-rank and below element Can only be used on elemental ninjutsu [B](Kuresento Gurimu: Souruhantā) Crescent Grim: Soul Hunter Type:[/B] Supplementary [B]Rank:[/B] S [B]Range:[/B] Self [B]Chakra:[/B] 40 (-10 per turn) [B]Damage:[/B] +40 to Ronin techniques/+20 to Samurai techniques [B]Description: [/B]By focusing their spiritual energy into their scythe, the user permanently enlarges their scythe with spiritual energy that glows a bright color (depending on the user) that even opponent can see due to how intense it is. This increases their damage with Ronin techniques by +40 (Samurai techniques by +20). Their scythe is able to reach out and attack from short-med range both freeform and when using with other Ronin techniques. So techniques utilized with this technique that are normally short range will be short-med range. This technique is able to be sustained as long as the user wills it, however, while this technique is active, the user can only use two jutsu/techniques per turn. Usable twice per battle, must wait three turns in between uses Limited to two techniques per turn while active [B](Kuresento Gurimu: Sourutappu) Crescent Grim: Soul Tap Type:[/B] Supplementary [B]Rank:[/B] D-A [B]Range:[/B] Short-Med [B]Chakra:[/B] 10-30 [B]Damage:[/B] N/A (+20 to Ronin techniques) [B]Description: [/B]After activating [B](Kuresento Gurimu: Souruhantā) Crescent Grim: Soul Hunter[/B], the user may extend their scythe out to an oncoming technique and tap it, completely turning it into a source of spiritual energy and having their scythe consume it. This is stored in the scythe for the next Ronin technique the user utilizes, boosting its damage by +20. A rank can only be used three times per battle and can only be used on A rank and below techniques with a one turn cooldown between use B rank can only be used three times per battle on B rank and below techniques C rank can be used against C rank and below techniques D rank can be used against D rank and below techniques [B]Additional effects and Restrictions:[/B] Must be a Ronin to use, as well as Jounin rank. Must have a scythe listed as a primary weapon on their biography. Samurai are able to use this style, however, without the inherent effects of spirituality or techniques specifically tailored around spirituality. Ex: if they were to use [B](Kuresento Gurimu:[/B] Ribaundo) - Crescent Grim: Rebound, it would simply return the technique at a lower rank, without converting it into spiritual energy. As well as when samurai use this art to extend their scythe, it is with chakra, like chakra sabre, rather than spirit. They are also not allowed to use chakra sabre as this style will be replacing it if it is on their biography/character. [JUSTIFY][COLOR=rgb(84, 172, 210)]± Declined. This requires a bit more work, I am not opposed to using a Scythe for spiritual rebounding/attacks - but it needs to be refined more. Just saying it will rebound a technique, how would it work against massive techniques or boosted techniques? Does it follow Ronin rules, or nah? Is it just Ronin and a Scythe? What makes it different to really be a fighting style on its own? I feel a bit lost on the practicality of it, so it just needs be expanded on so I can see the usability of it. The boosts of the techniques are questionable, but those we save for the CFSJ thread when this is approved ;) ±[/COLOR][/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
