0. What is Dark release in your own words.
1. Why do you want to learn Dark release?
2. What are the two elements that make up Dark release.
3. Who is the ninja who uses our KG?
0. Dark release is a KG wherein the user, with the help of their diamond markings located on the left hand palm, (Quick question here, are the markings only exclusive to the left palm, or can one have diamond marks on both palms? I've heard only the left hand however, having the markings on the left hand only feels limiting, to me) absorb ninjutsu techniques and release them in the form of 'raw' chakra. Techniques are absorbed through the upper marking and released in raw form from the bottom marking. Furthermore, a dark release user must take into consideration of the limits associated with the KG. These limits include the absorption of Earth and Water related techniques, due to the fact that they are solid and liquid based forms of matter, respectively, as oppose to gas and plasma based matter, which is easier to absorb. Dark release users can therefore find themselves at a great advantage if attacked with the latter matter based techniques, and at a disadvantage if attacked by the former matter based techniques. So between the absorption ability and the many ways that one can go about shaping/reforming the absorbed matter, I'd say meiton is a very versatile KG that can be applied in many battle situations.
1. I've been interested in learning Dark release since I began RPing in December, however, since it took me a while to get training in Fire release I have only recently been able to learn it. The ability, I feel goes well with my favorite character, Ulquiorra and fits his fighting personality perfectly. The idea behind watching as your opponent eagerly and confidently forms and releases a great ball of fire towards you with the intent to incinerate you, only to have it negated by raising your left arm up all nonchalantly is borderline hilarious, and again, something that I'd feel the character that I love to RP as doing. I have several custom ideas in the works already, all of which are pretty unique; Most dark customs I see getting submitted , revolve too much around the offensive aspect instead of the many supplementary purposes that can be made.
2. The two elements that make up dark release within our RP system are Fire and Lightning.
3. Within the Narutoverse the only one seen utilizing the meiton KG was Hiruko.
I have several questions that I hope you can answer, with as much detail as you can please. :snick:
(These will help me adjust some ideas that I have in terms of custom techniques)
I'll come up with a situation to ask this question: Say your opponent used that Earth technique that creates a golem out of earth, could one, in theory if they were able get into the golem's close range and press up against it, sort of siphon out the doton chakra within it, rendering the golem into nothing but natural earth? So basically, in theory a way to get around the fact that one cannot absorb the 'solid' portion of the Earth would be to press up against the earth being manipulated and absorb the 'plasma' (chakra) portion, which would negate the earth technique completely. The lightning technique, nagashi for example uses this same premise, by negating the doton chakra within the earth being manipulated the earth technique is stopped. I hope that makes sense. ._.
Secondly, is there a rule against absorbing ones own techniques?

Okay so, amazing reply as always. You can use any hand you want, most use left; but you don't have to go with most. There is one or two new canon techniques that need the usage of both hands, but it makes a sort of void of dark in the middle of them both, allowing you to absorb higher rank techniques.
Good. I'll explain in further detail:
0. Meiton is a KG in which the user acts almost as an Organic Fuuinjutsu of sorts, absorbing and releasing physical and spiritual energies (chakra). Because it works, in a sense, like a Fuuinjutsu, the absorbed chakra doesn't actually enter the users Chakra Circulatory System (like what happens with the Rinnegan's absorption abilities) but its kept in the KG mark, as if stored in a separate space within the body. One can say the squares (upper and lower) are much like portals to the sealing space but the sealing space has no connection with the user's chakra. Because of this, the user has little control over the form he can release said chakra. As he releases it, it manifests in a raw energy form rather than a specific elemental one.
1. Good.
2. That is correct.
3. Yes, Hiruko is the one who uses it, he used it via the Chimera Technique, to change his chakra type to Dark, Steel, Swift and Storm.
Okay, I shall explain the strength and weaknesses of our KG.
Dark Release is strong towards energy based elements because energy absorption is the core ability of dark release. Not only that but Energy is easier to absorb and manipulate than matter. Another thing, Dark is able to absorb things like; Storm, Dust, Scorch and even raw Sage Jutsu.
But when release your opponents technique, if your opponent blocks using any of the following; The four obvious ones; Fire, Lighting, Wind and Raw chakra along side these more uncommon ones; Sand, Rain, Steam or Boil you will have the upper hand, since dark just eats right though energy based chakra.
While Dark isn't strong against Water and Earth since they are both matter elements and, lets be real you can't absorb something that is matter, just doesn't work like that. Earth suffers double strength towards the absorbing ability of Dark Release (meaning that only an S-Rank Dark release can absorb a B-Rank Earth technique)
And again when release your opponents technique. If your opponent blocks using any of the following; The two obvious ones Earth and Water as well as; Solid Ice, Steel, Wood or Lava. They will overpower your dark as they are matter based.
The reason I like dark release, it gives you the chance to absorb your opponent attack and redirect it stronger.
Let me ask you this, what is the usual color of dark based chakra attacks?
What hand are you going to be absorbing jutsu with?
I have several questions that I hope you can answer, with as much detail as you can please. :snick:

It sounds possible, but it would be best to ask Scorps or Dante, I personally have never thought of doing that; nor thought it would work. I may be a shishou but, I am honestly at a stand still, I don't have an answer for you, about that sorry. :| I think the answer will be no, cause they at least one of the basic five releases to be unable to be absorbed, I hope that made sense. >_>
"Ciberr asked me; can "Inhaling Maw" absorb dark release chakra? I think so, but not sure."
Dante said:
Yes it can, it can absorb any raw form of energy, even if it was Dark Release energy, when Dark Release absorbs something then releases it, it releases it in the form of enhanced raw energy, other techniques are the same thing as well, ofcourse all following the appropriate ranks.
No there isn't, as far as I'm aware; I have a custom where you use a fire based technique [C-rank or w/e] then you absorb it, thus making it stronger.

*As rain falls down upon the training area I begin by gathering both lightning and fire chakra into my left hand. Although this action seems to be simple the feat required several minutes of intense concentration on my part, due to the fact that I had never undertaken such a task. "I-I think I've got it." I mumbled, as I took note of the nearly perfect balance of both chakra types assimilated within my left hand.*
What I expect from you when I'm teaching you.

(Meiton: Kuro Aku Reiki) - Dark Release: Evil Black Aura
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will release dark waves of chakra towards their target through their hand.
So this is a simple jutsu; I want you to gather up your newly made dark chakra and I want you to use shape manipulation on your dark chakra, once you do that I want you to form outwards in front of you as a small wave. That you will send towards my clone, who is at mid-range of you.
1. Since they are "waves" of dark chakra their area of effect is pretty wide, I'm assuming.
2. The range of the technique is long enough to allow for the ability to zone in or box in one's target.
3.
One/three disadvantages:
1. Due to the technique involving the release of dark chakra an earth technique would easily overpower it.
2.
3.
How you would use it in battle: In instances where one would need a distraction, an attack that is wide to head directly towards the opponent, so that one may then follow up with an attack from above or below. How you would counter it: Through the use of a suitable earth or water technique. How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):*Turning towards the clone I begin by gathering dark chakra into my left hand. Once I've gathered enough I then swipe my left hand from left to right in a horizontal motion while simultaneously using shape manipulation to release several dark waves of chakra towards my target. As the waves make contact with the clone's mid section it gives severe burns while also knocking the clone to the ground. The clone then disperses.*
What kind of effect would a technique like this cause if it made contact with the target? Like in my description, is it correct in saying that it would burn the target and knock them over due to the force of the waves hitting it's chest area?

(Meiton: Yami no Nami) - Dark Release: Darkness Wave
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will release a black, widespread wave made of dark chakra at their opponent just a wave of their hand.
This is similar to the last technique; I want you to gather up your dark chakra and I want you to use shape manipulation on your dark chakra, once you do that I want you to form outwards in front of you as a larger wave. That you will send towards my clone, who is at long range of you. This is a longer wave and goes further then the latter.
2. Releases one larger wave instead of several smaller ones.
3. One can zone their target in even better due to the larger size.
One/three disadvantages:
1. An earth technique would similarly be able to overpower this one even if the size is larger.
2.a single wave might be easier to defend from as oppose to several smaller ones.
3.
How you would use it in battle: in instances where one would like to zone their target, especially applicable with this larger and longer version. How you would counter it: By using an earth technique to move out of its path or face the technique head on. How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *As I turn towards the clone I gather a larger amount of dark chakra into my left hand. Once I've gathered enough I then proceed to swipe my hand in a horizontal manner similarly as the previous jutsu. This time as I use shape manipulation to form it I release a single, larger wave intended to reach the clone at a farther distance than usual. As the larger dark wave reaches the target the clone receives burns in the contact area, dispersing thereafter.*
(Meiton: Kasseiken) - Dark Release: Revival Fist
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: By gathering dark chakra into both their hands, the user can then unleash a powerful and focused shock wave that, when it hits a person close range it could cause tremendous internal damage.
Okay with this one, I want you to gather a decent amount of meiton chakra in both your hands, then I want you to use shape manipulation on the chakra to focus it down to a shock that you will then proceed to form the shock wave outwards in front of you, my clone will be short range from you, sending this towards my clone at short range will cause tremendous internal damage, so this technique is best for short range.
2. Most effective in short range, wherein a large amount of internal damage can be caused.
3.
One/three disadvantages:
1. Loses its strength the farther away the target is.
2. Requires the use of both hands.
3.
How you would use it in battle: Best used in a close quarters situation as there are also no hand seals required. How you would counter it: staying out of the persons close range would be a must and if one lost their line of sight with the opponent than they wouldn't be able to send such a straight forward attack towards you. How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *I face the clone and begin to gather dark chakra into both of my hands, slightly different than the previous jutsu as this one required the use of both hands. Once I gathered enough I then proceed to extend both of my hands in an outward in front of me, using shape manipulation to create a shock wave. The clone being in my short range is hit fairly quickly and receivers massive internal damage along with some surface burns.* So this also burns the target a bit as well? And pushes them back a bit since its a "shock wave" type attack?

(Meiton: Dassui Fureru) Dark Release: Draining Touch
Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: 20 (-40 chakra points to the enemy)
Damage: N/A
Description: By activating the absorption mark in one of his hands and touching an enemy, the user is able to absorb up to 40 chakra points on contact. This chakra can then be used to fuel release-type Dark Release techniques.
Okay so this is one of the new canon techniques that was released a couple weeks back, so I'm not to familiar with it.
So; pretty much get into touching distance of my clone, place your hand on him [hand that has the two diamond marks on it] doing that should allow you to absorb up to 40 points of chakra while remaining touching him. This chakra absorbed can be used as a medium towards other dark release techniques like Judgement.
1. Can be used as a medium to fuel dark release techniques.
2.
3.
One/three disadvantages:
1. Requires physical contact with the target.
2. Does no damage.
3.
How you would use it in battle: in instances where one is in close range, they can use this to their advantage by gathering fuel for dark release techniques. How you would counter it: pretty much staying away from the persons short range ensures that they will not be able to execute this jutsu. How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *I turn towards the clone in front of me and place my left hand on it's right shoulder. As the two diamond marks make contact with the clone it begins to siphon out a decent amount of raw chakra from the clone. After siphoning out the chakra I then stop making contact with the clone. In order to make sure t worked completely I focus dark chakra into my left hand and release several dark waves of chakra that hit the clone, causing it to disperse.* How long would you say contact with the person has to stay for it to siphon the amount it has to?

Probably for the amount of chakra you steal, maybe five seconds?
Good, for the next couple jutsu's I expect you to give three of each advantages & disadvantages.
(Meiton: Kyūketsukō) - Dark Release: Inhaling Maw
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user uses their dark release to forcibly extract the physical and spiritual energy (chakra) of another ninja and absorb it through the upper square of the mark on his left hand, which can then be used to perform Dark Release: Judgment.
Note: Can absorb up to A-Rank Wind, Fire and Lightning techniques, S-Rank raw chakra or C-Rank Water, all within reason. Has no effect on Earth techniques.
Now comes the most useful of all dark release techniques; Okay, I am going to create and release an A-rank fire technique I want you to put out your right hand with the two diamonds on your hand, using your dark chakra I want you to start to extract and absorb the physical and spiritual energy (chakra) of my jutsu into the upper diamond on your right hand. (Don't release the technique yet)
-I gather and release a large amount of katon chakra that forms a large fireball, that travels towards you.-
(Katon: Gōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Hellfire Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and breath out from their mouth a large fireball that travels at the opponent. As it reaches the opponent it bursts into a maelstrom of fire engulfing them in flames.
2. Used as a stepping stone technique to attack with judgement afterwards.
3. Low chakra cost and a relatively quick jutsu to use.
One/three disadvantages:
1. Does no damage.
2. No earth can be absorbed period.
3. Cannot absorb S rank lightning, fire or wind.
How you would use it in battle: in instances where the opponent has sent a wind, fire or lightning technique heading towards me. How you would counter it: I guess the only way to prevent the use of this jutsu would be to either use earth techniques or go in close for taijutsu. How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *As we stand at about 7 meters away from each other and you begin to release your fireball I simply raise my right hand upwards towards the incoming fireball. As the fireball begins to close in on me the upper diamond marking on my hand begins to absorb the jutsu fairly quickly. After absorbing the technique entirely I lower my hand, storing the absorbed chakra for a future use.*
(Meiton: Jajjimento) - Dark Release: Judgment
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user converts the absorbed chakra from the Dark Release: Inhailing Maw and then releases it into light blue flames, turning it back on their enemies with amplified strength to blow them away. The flames are expelled through the lower square mark on their left hand.
Okay; now I want you to convert the chakra that your absorbed though your upper diamond into dark chakra and you will release though your bottom diamond the converted chakra should come out as blue flames that amplified, I want you to send the flames towards my clone who is at mid-range.
