[CSC] Custom Summoning Contract - Box Jellyfishes [Cubozoa]

[Detective L]

Sorry for the short reply <_>

Explain it's characteristics to me, and what it can do. Order it to do it, if you'd like. Also, what is the potential of this technique, how many boxes, how many tentacles, etc.

As the small box floats before Dean, he listens to the Sage as she explains the correct method of doing it. Dean walks forward to the small puddle of water, slightly disturbed by the movement of the box submerged within it. Dean crouches, and looks at the box, observing it as it floats.

"Well, what do we have here.. A relatively small Box Jellyfish, at around the size of your average football. Four tentacles in total, pretty badass. It's colors fluctuate between a dark red and orange, depending on how the sun light shines onto the box. A beautiful box actually."

Dean pauses for a minute, as he admires the box's unique color.

"Now let's see what this box is capable of. Care to give me your name?"

The box jellyfish reacts with a gruff voice. Not a voice Dean expected, as it was quite fierce and rough.

"I go by the name of Maximus. Well, well, well, the boss herself, salutations m'lady. I haven't seen you before, who might you be?"

Dean smirks as he hears the box speak. Such a vibe about him, and so, Dean answers.

"Dean Winchester of the Nekura clan. I recently signed the Box Jellyfish contract. Now, Maximus, show us what you are able to do."

"A dummy or clone will be needed."

Listening to the box, Dean forms a clone which also crouches, attempting to touch the box. As he gets close enough, Maximus wraps his four tentacles around the clones' arm, and injects a special venom through his tentacles, possibly a neurotoxin, which easily destroys the clone.

"Nice stuff you got there, Maximus."

Dean laughs as he stands up.

Very well, now, I'd like you to demonstrate, these boxes are well versed in the Box Arts. Several of these techniques are of their own creation, and of their exclusive usage, even if they did share some others with us. I've worked very hard to select human-surrogates for many of the techniques, but there's still some I'm incapable of recreating without some additional knowledge. To be sure, any technique that involves the manipulation of the venom itself, or it's creation, are EXCLUSIVE to boxes, and can't be used by humans directly. There are three of them, who'd like to tell me the name of one, and describe it to me?

"I find this pretty interesting. It's a small controlled burst of Irukandji venom, which is extremely venomous. According to it's description, this specific technique acts very discretely, inducing a feeling of feeling of shock and damage, mimicking the feeling that the opponent has been hit with an attack. Basically, attacking the opponent's psyche, making them hesitate or breaking their sequence of handseals when performing techniques. A subtle yet useful venom, also showcasing it's usefulness is it's effects on clones and summonings. It causes summonings to reverse summon and clones to disperse. The venom also travels relatively fast, reaching up to 10 meters in a second, and it can also be manipulated to not harm the user or allies."

( Kouton: Haki) Box Arts: Haka

''I must say that I love the technique; especially the venom known as Irukandji syndrome. The venom causes many disorders if the opponent get's hit successfully. It first starts with paralyzing the opponent working as kind of a Killing intent but even worse; images of their death and torture whom can easily disorder a person with pure chakra, that has an paralysis aftereffect which in this case can be compared with Impending doom pure by a simple venom like gas sent towards the opponent. I think that this could be quite a nice genjutsu, combining Haka with it. Of course, there are two others.''

''And, if you want the three names that Boxes can produce; venom that is then I think Myotoxin, Hemolysin and Neurotoxin. Whether they have the same properties aka effects on a human's body or that of an shinobi; not sure but as stated above, we have the Irukandji syndrome and a few others >_>''

As Urek explained what he knew thus far, he looked away, wondering whether he was talking nonsense or not.

Yeah, all very well. You can say Wasp Mele is daughter technique of Haka, a more focused and specialized Haka, per se. It focuses on cost-effective counters to clones and other summons. These two techniques, are, though, non-lethal, regardless of the proximity or quantity of the venom. I'd just like to reiterate that. Secondly, if you happen to fight again a wild Box or an enemy Box, these techniques WILL work on you and your clones, but not on your Boxes. Likewise, Haka's and Wasp Mele's produced by your Boxes will NOT work on others boxes.

Okay, there's only one final Venom technique exclusive to Box Summons, which is Fa'ataupati. It basically allows the Boxes to expell a great amount of venom, in liquid form, which will initially take the shape a large box jellyfish. Then, through an intricate dance with slaps and contractions, they are able to bend the jellyfish into taking any shape, be it blades, shields, other animals, etc. This venom is lethal.

Do you have any questions?

One of you please post all three techniques we mentioned, please

 

[Jokey]

( Kouton: Haki) Box Arts: Haka

Spoiler

Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10-40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Haka stands as an enhanced form of Killing Intent (Sakki). Works in all manners exactly like it, overpowering one's mind and paralyzing the targets with images of their death and torture, with the exception of one simply thing. Along with the chakra, the user secretes a fast wave of venom in it's gaseous state. This chakra-modified venom focuses solely the secondary effect of Irukandji syndrome, from the venom used by a certain specie of box jellyfishes, which is a sense of impending doom. While the Killing intent is chakra based only, thus easily overpowered by will alone, if the opponents are as strong as the user, Haka creates an added physical and physiological response to it, preventing even targets as strong or stronger than the user to break it by will as easily, having them suffer the same paralysis as if they were 2 ranks bellow.
*The venom wave only reaches Mid-range, thus the Haka continues as normal Killing Intent for longer ranges*
*Human users can't preform this technique, but the strength of Haka is based on the summoner's rank*
*The higher the user, the stronger the technique*
*Haka lowers the Target resistance to Killing Intent by 2 Ranks, even in bios that claim to be fearless*
*Venom produces ONLY the sense of impending doom. It has no Hemolytic of Digestive proprieties, neither does it produces pain*
*The user can control the Haka in order to not affect allies, even in radial uses*
*This technique is basically only a stronger version of Killing Intent (Sakki)*

(Kouton: Pishari ) Box Arts: Fa'ataupati

Spoiler

Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user secretes a large amount of venom, which assumes the shape of a big jellyfish. Then the user is able to control the jellyfish with a conjunction of various slap-like motions, gestures, making the jellyfish move (Up, Down, Sides, back, Front) and even change in shape (Become taller, blunter, sharper, bending, etc), in a large area around the user, up to Mid-Range around the user. The jellyfish can move as fast as the user can move. The jelly can be separated into up to 5 smaller jellyfishes.
*While controlling the venom, the user can't preform other jutsus except Taijutsu*
*The venom can be controlled for 2 turns, after which it falls motionless*
*The jutsu can only be used twice*
*Human summoners have higher resistance to the poison, but are not immune*
*Can only be used by Boxes*

( Kouton: Piripiri Sonson ) Box Arts: Wasp Mele

Spoiler

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Similarily to ( Kouton: Haki ) Box Arts: Haka, this technique consists in a controlled burst of Irukandji venom, modified to enhance the impending doom syndrome with lethality or other venomous effects. Instead of focusing on fear and completely overpowering the opponent, Wasp Mele acts more discretely. It induces a certain feeling of shock and damage, as if they've been hit by a powerful attack. More physiological than physical, the effects is only able to make the target hesitate when performing techniques, and can even interrupt a succession of hand-seals. But it is easily brushed off and ignored afterwards. It has bigger effects on summons and clone jutsus. If a shadow clone is hit with the Wasp Mele, or any other sentient clone/technique, it will be tricked to immediately disperse. Similarly, summoned animals are tricked into reverse summoning themselves.
*It travels fast, up to 10 in less than a second, and hitting the full range (20 meters), in less than 2*
*Works on a Clone or Summon created with a technique up to and including A rank, or similar if the technique creates more than 1 clone/animal*
*Ineffective against resurrected bios, such as Impure World Resurrection or mushroom Nzumbes, or Boss summonings"
*Can only be used by Boxes*
*Can be manipulated to not affect the user or allies*
*Requires a 2 turn cool down*

 

[Lili-Chwan]

Thanks my dear! Any questions from the both of you?

 

[Jokey]

Thanks my dear! Any questions from the both of you?

Have read the technique's a couple of times, and it's all clear on my side!

 

[Detective L]

Thanks my dear! Any questions from the both of you?

Not at the moment Lili, we may proceed o-o.

 

[Lili-Chwan]

Alright then! As you might know, if insufficient chakra is used when performing the generic summoning technique I taught you, you end up with one of two outcomes:

1. You get a Larvae (or planula), the initial stage of development. They're thin and transparent beings, without any tentacles or nematocysts. If left in the battlefield for 1 turn, they turn into Polyps, which are the second outcome of a failed summoning.

2. Polyps are the following stage of development of a Box Jellyfish, before the mature medusa stage. They sort of like cones with a mouth full of tentacles. They may have a few nematocyst, but not on the level of a medusa. In 1 turn, they turn into fully grown Medusa.

There's a lot of ways to use this delay, since they do have different characteristics. The larvae have a sort of floating wavy motion, while the polyps perform a sort of tumbling motion.

There are a couple of specific summons in these stages, fully developed so that they're not considered failures. The first of which is to summon members of the Coco Macaque family. Give it a try, and explain their characteristics and abilities to me.

 

[Jokey]

Urek listened quietly to the woman and knew what to do. He had summoned a box before; after all, so this should be a piece of cake; he thought. However, it was harder than he thought. As the woman finished speaking, he took a deep breath, bit onto his thumb which eventually began itching after biting so many times onto it and swept it in front of him whilst inserting all the chakra in front of him, picturing the image of a small larvae. At first, he did not succeed but summoned a dead fish instead, but after his second try, he summoned two small boxes; larvae's to be precise. One that sat onto his shoulder and the other appeared in front of him.

''H... Hello there fella's!''

Urek was amazed by the weight of the larvae onto his shoulder, it was amazing, it was as if he had nothing attached on him, all he could think of was a feather, that's all what he could think of, a small feather dangling back and forth.

( Koukurage Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Toppi Shitei ) Box Jellyfish Summoning Jutsu: Coco Macaque

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: D
Range: Short (summoning the Larvae) / Long (On transmission)
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Allows the user to summon and vanish a pair of Coco Macaque. These Larvae are all linked together by chakra, so much that by charging chakra through one will be felt by the others. The user of this technique will summon a larvae on him/herself, and the other on any Box short range from the user, allowing the user to charge chakra through the Coco Macaque that will be felt by the Box, and the other way around as long as the larvae are in the user's and targeted Box's possession. Through a common understanding, the different intensities of the chakra information or frequency of information allows messages to be sent through any distance.
*It transfers just a signal, a small fluctuation. It is neither able to break someone from a genjutsu or block an attack like Minato's technique. It's like morse code. It's purpose is the same as morse code, being a form of primitive communication.*
*Coco Macaque twins can stay indefinitely in the battle, but there are only 4 pairs of twins in Archipelago (per contract holder)*
*Can be used by other Boxes*
*These larvae can't use jutsus*

 

[Detective L]

Listening to the Sage, Dean bit his thumb, causing a small amount of blood to be released, and then he formed the five handseals. He slammed his hand on the ground, thinking of a very small, almost fragile type of Box Jellyfish. After a poof of smoke, a small Box appeared on Dean's shoulder, quite small too. It was in it's larvae stage. Odd looking creature, yet beautiful in nature.

"Whoa, alright, let's see what abilities these small guys have. Through charging chakra through themselves, these larvae can act as a communication between other boxes on the field at that time, giving out small pulses, much like morse code. It acts like a communication medium between boxes, over long distances too, though it can't be used to break a user out of a Genjutsu, but it's useful in its own way. They are summoned in pairs, one onto the user and the other onto a Box on the field. They can then communicate, the larvae on the box acting as a signal one could say. What exactly could they say to each other? What type of information can be relayed over the distances?"

Dean looked at the Sage as he asked these questions. Complex little creatures they were.

[Lili-Chwan]

Well, think of it as morse code. You agree on a "language" and then you speak through it. This method of communication isn't meant for conversations, sort of speak. Though I believe we're gonna have to re-evaluate these Coco Macaque.

*I say, picking up one of the larvae*

Maybe substitute them with a better version of them, or maybe even a different type of larvae altogether.Alright, let's move on. Mamaragan now!

 

[Jokey]

Urek listened, and obeyed. He took a deep breath and imagined a picture of a polyp, a large one in this case. So with having that in mind, he swiftly swept his thumb towards his mouth, bit on it as blood started flushing out which he quickly sent towards the ground this time instead of just in the mere air in front of him. This caused him to be capable of summoning quite a large polyp with the size of a human; an adult man. Urek was amazed by the fact of it's beautiful tumbling motion which he performed by it's mouth filled with tentacles. The polyp had a rather vivid body and gave of slight lightning sparkle's off which couldn't be seen in the dark, but when the sun shined upon it; it would have radiate a magnificent scintillating body.

''....''

Urek did not speak nor ask the Polyp a question, he simply kept looking at how he was floating, and fell into a kind of hypnosis.

(I'd wouldn't like to role play for any Box to be honest, I'd rather want you to do it because I'm quite curious about their personality because of your wonderful creative mind >_>)

( Koukurage Kuchyose no Jutsu: Raiden ) Box Jellyfish Summoning Technique: Mamaragan

Spoiler

Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user summons large polyp, with a body the size of an adult man, and a mouth filled with long tentacles. It has Lightning affinity, which give's it's translucent body and tentacles a strong electrical charge reacting automatically to any existing lightning in the surrounding area, up to 15 meters around it, as if it was a lightning rod. This means that while it is in play, for 2 turns, neither the user or the opponent can efficiently preform a lightning jutsu, as it will get pulled and absorbed by Mamaragan. It can absorb 80 chakra, 160 Damage Points of Lightning/Electrical based jutsu. Once the quota is reached, Mamaragan will burst open and expel several (10-20) tiny and light medusas, which are light enough to move through the air, and use small electrical discharges to change direction. This medusas will stay alive for 1 turn, and will produce powerful lightning discharges whenever they come in contact with the opponent, sending out a paralyzing wave which will lock the target's muscles for 1 turn, preventing movement. They fly at a normal pace, as if freely floating in the air currents.
*While in Polyp form, it is able to use its tentacles to move and/or thimble it's way around the field. In Medusa form, the small entities will just be attracted by the opponent's chakra, with no conscientious movement. They will not attack the user or fellow Box Jellyfishes*
*In Polyp form the tentacles can be used to wrap and bind a nearby (short-range) enemy while shocking him on contact (B-Rank) numbing his nerves*
*Absorbing the techniques do not count towards the jutsu count. Releasing the medusas counts as 1 jutsu. The electrical discharges from the medusas have a power equivalent to A rank, but do not count has a different jutsu from their release.
*The Polyp lasts 4 turns. If it reaches the 4 turns or the Lightning Absorption quota, it will release the medusa, if it is forced to vanish, it will not*
*The Medusas will stay on the field for 1 turn, before drying out. They do not contain poison*
*No other Box Jellyfish can be summoned on the field while Mamaragan's Polyp is in play*
*Can only be summoned once per battle*

 

[Lili-Chwan]

To be honest, I haven't really given much of a personality to the boxes. Mamaragan is an aboriginal australian lightning god that speaks with the voice of thunder. So, I'd picture Mamaragan as a very old guy, all wrinkly, with a huge beard (his tentacles), making him have a very muffled yet booming voice. Imagine something with a very core-shaking pitch, but completely muffled like someone eating bread or talking behind a pillow. He sucks lightning, so one could imagine he's that sort of creepy guy that tries to hit on young girls, to steal a kiss but he instead does it to steal lightning. And he doesn't differentiate between men or women, he just hits on everyone to snag their lightning.

"Heh, mate, give ol' Mamaraga a ye bit of a kiss, will ye?" *kissing noise, and lightning is sucked into him* "Fresh as bacon, eh!"

 

[Detective L]

Dean heads on to analyse the next Box. He quicly bites his poor 'ol thumb and forms five handseals, and proceeds to slam his hand into the ground. This allows him to summon forth Mamaragan, a slightly weird looking Box Jellyfish. It's summoned into a small pool of water and Dean looks towards him, a pretty damn huge Jellyfish, the size of an average human, translucent, and his mouth filled with long tentacles that hang down.

"You seem pretty old. Okay, so this particular box, Mamaragan, is capable of absorbing Lightning by acting like a Lightning rod. He is capable of absorbing Lightning up to 15 meters around himself, which stops both the user and the opponent from using Lightning based jutsu. This stays active fro two turns. Now, the thing is, Mamaragan can't absorb an unlimited amount of Lightning, only up to 80 chakra/160 damage points. Once he reaches his limit, he bursts open and delivers up to 10-20 Medusa's, small light ones. They move through the air due to their weight and can change direction by releasing small electrical discharges. Once they touch the opponent, a very powerful discharge of Lightning that will lock the opponent's muscles for one turn. These Medusa's are only on the field for a single turn. Question, if a single Medusa touches the opponent, instead of the whole lot, will it send a powerful enough discharge of Lightning for the same effect? Or can only all the Medusa's at once, lock the opponent's muscles when they discharge?"

 

[Lili-Chwan]

yes, the effect stated is for each individual medusa. It doesn't "stack", but it's quite powerful.

Exactly why I asked you. Wonderful.

''Aye, stay away from me old man, I do not need kisses... But, you, you may always give me one darling. *stares at Liliana, as he winked*... Anyway, Mamaragan... I'm Urek Mazino, and I was the one whom summoned you and the one over there, it's nice to meet you. ''

As the last sentence left Urek's mouth, he suddenly created a lightning technique that emitted straight outta Urek's mouth, and watched how it got absorbed by the shiny, sparkling, old but with a oh so nice accent lively gramps.

None from me, it's a pretty neat box and easy to understand
