Kiana walks into the training grounds holding a torn arm from which blood was dripping. It seemed as if she took a real liking to it. Her eyes were glowing and it seemed as if she was in love with it. She held it ever so gently, as she was happily walking towards the center. She was told that she had to be there to learn how to control her powers and how to become stronger. That meant more beautiful arms to break and bones to chew on. If only the trainer had some Jugo for practice. She could totally go for some Jugo meat right now.

"I know why you're here," Arima began. "You've been brought here by fate, and cursed by fortune, you're all Claymores. Tired souls bounded to this mortal coil by an eternal Hunger. We've been around a long time, and we've garnered many names; demons, the befouled, preta, witches... I could go on and on but the main thing to note here is not what others think of you. It's what you think of yourselves that define who and what you are."

He stared at Haise and Kiana for a while longer, observing their unique features. "Kiana, despite that scar on your face, do you still consider yourself beautiful? And Haise, with that dark subconscious of yours, do you still consider yourself sane?

But before you answer that, I want you to come to terms with your natures. You feel an ever present hunger within your chests, we all do, I want you to awknowledge that never ending yearning, and agree with it. By accepting your Hunger you will open up the doors to a suffering much greater, but also power beyond your wildest dreams. Show me."

Arima folds his arms and leans back on a foot, obviously patient for his kin, but his face remained stern and commanding.

His voice was calm and it uttered truth. In the field with an upcoming, eternal dusk. He knew that this will be eternally part of him. From the moment he was born, he lived life with the curse. With an unending hunger. Hunger for something morally wrong, for something which people hailed and will for eternity hail as sadistic, evil and devilish. Despite that, we had no other choice. All else, tastes bland, and we needed this power. The power in order to defend the world from those monsters. Kaneki had accepted that this curse was with him, it was the only way he could have protected the only people which used to live and were now closer to him hat ever. He places his hand on his belly. He knew of the darkness he had turned. His hair was a living reminder, his coat was one as well. The finger cracks in silence as the eye shuts down for a second, and opens up again, eternally black, as the eyes blood red filled with hunger.

He placed his hands on the face, ripping deep in his skin. He was crying, almost going through a crazy twisted change. But, he already knew there was no way of running from it, no way of battling it. Only accepting. Only.... eating. To eat is to protect. To eat is to feel sorrow. To eat is to feel alone. To eat is to make mistakes. To eat is to forget yourself. To eat is.... to accept yourself. He knew what he was, he was no longer running from it.

I....AM A GHOOOOUL!!!

Me beautiful? She listened as the man imposing as their teacher spoke. He talked about this strange hunger residing in them and how they have to accept it. Do I find myself beautiful? She kept asking herself, not being sure what was the right answer. Did she think of herself as beautiful? Did the opinion of the others weigh too much on her own? No, she was beautiful. She new it. Despite what everyone else said and despite them calling her a monster. She knew, of her real beauty. The beauty when she snaps bones and then watches as the sharp edges of the bones pierce the skin and blood starts flowing. She raised that broken arm she kept holding and looked at it thoroughly. She understood. She could feel it. She knew. It was all because of that insatiable hunger that was built in her. She wanted more hunger, she just wanted more. I do. I am beautiful.

With the revelation of two very unique replies Arima was pleased to know he wasn't in the comfort of no ordinary lemons. Then again, no one Claymore is ever 'ordinary' to begin with.

"I see. You have both come to the realization of what you are, now I must bring to light, what you do."

Kishou smiled a little, not with joy but deviance. As soon as he was done talking he put up his hand and revealed two fingers; is index and middle. As if on some invisible command, a man and a woman came wobbling through a pari of double swingining doors. Their eyes were glazed over and their movements were zombie-like, as if they were in a trance. The slowly wobbled over to Arima and came to a dead halt on either of his sides.

They remained motionless with heads held down.

"You claim you're hungry..." He retrieved a kunai from his jacket and held the female's hand. Then, faster than they could perceive, a slice appeared on her forearm, just above the elbow. The woman didn't even as much as flinched. A warm, crimson liquid then poured from the fresh wound.

Blood. Sweet, savory blood.

"But let me tell you just what that is you're feeling. The Claymores' Hunger is an ever present affliction on your beings. It places both your minds and bodies in a state of eternal yearning. This in itself would be a living hell to most. But not us. Not us who can bear the pain. Being ever present, this Hunger lies at the forefront of every single other affliction. Meaning, this Hunger is all the Claymore feels at all times. How can this be used to your advantage? If asomeone wanted to get your attention by inflicting pain, said pain would still affect the body, meaning you'd feel it and suffer the damage, but your mind is able to ignore this pain and continue operating--solely due to the fact that your Hunger already occupies all you can think and feel. Take note, this does not mean you are immune to pain, it simply means you are able to ignore it for as long as the need is there while taking any damage it had intended.

The same can be said of emotional afflictions like fear or sadness. Essentially, due to the Hunger your bodies and minds have become nearly impenetrable. You may also use this Hunger to identify when something is wrong. Such as Genjutsu and other mind tricks. Anytime an emotion of feeling becomes greater than your Hunger you are to remember that this is impossible--nothing beats the Hunger.
"

This gives them the unique ability to experience but ignore other forms of mental and physical afflictions .The minute an emotional or physical affliction becomes dominant over their Hunger they become aware, as that is an unnatural phenomenon.
By now the draining blood would have caused the two initiates to drool uncontrollably. He then did the same to the male and while looking at Sasaki and Kiana he ordered the enthralled people to go to them. "...Eat them. They've finished living out their lives and are obviously aiming to end it now. Its the only way for me to show you the other side to the Hunger. You have to eat. To eat is to survive."

Seeing the slice appear in the forearm, blood started rolling down the arm. Arima's words, while Kaneki was paying attention to every drop of it hitting the ground, wasted. Arima's words started being numb every second more and more, as he is looking at the blood, drooling almost over the thought. Arima's words did implant strongly in his head, but with each passing second he could not control his urge anymore. It has been so long, so long!

Open Spoiler if 18+
Arima then simply stated it. He looked surprised, looking at him in some sort of questioning manner. He was serious. Kaneki instantly moves towards the female, whole already had the cut present. He moves low, sticking out his tongue, licking the blood in her forearm. He slowly made his way up, breathing heavily towards her neck, as he dug his teeth in it. Ripping a piece of meat, he subdued her arms and legs. She didn't come to her senses, so he continued. In the next area, closer towards the larynx, he made another bite, and another. Time after time, slowly almost detaching her head. He then continued down, as Kaneki naturally ripped her clothes of her body. He continued to feed, down her chest, ripping pieces of flash one after the other. He slowly released his hands from subduing her, and was slowly using his hands to tear more meat apart with them. The blood was coating the entire area slowly, as this individual seemed in a blood rage, not knowing anything happening around as he continued to feed, bite after bite, after bite... Time became lost, what was only matter now, was this unbelievable feeling of satisfaction. His hunger was lessening. Deep he knew it was only temporary, but he continued, as if this lasted for eternity.

Kiana listened to the words of her teacher as they branded themselves in her mind. Eat. Eat! EAT! EAT! EAT! Every time he said eat, it was the only thing she heard. Before she could realize, she threw the chewed up forearm she walked into the training grounds with, and lunged herself forward, towards the man. She ate him whole. She kept eating away at him, swallowing him whole. She wrapped her lips around the meat and viciously sucked the blood that was pouring through the holes that she made with her teeth. The sound of silence was replaced with the sound of hunger. Devoured within seconds. Within moments, Kiana was done with the man, as he came into nonexistence. He was downsized. Simply removed, as if he never existed. The only trace of what once was a man, could be seen around Kiana's lips, dripping. She licked her lips in a circular manner, removing the last trace of him. That's how you eat a man.

Jesus, Six @_@


Watching his fellow kin succumb to an innate thirst Arima felt himself subconsciously retract. He didn't prefer eating like they do as the mere thought disgusted him. The irony of it made him chuckle everyday though, or maybe it was hypocrisy? Being the Enlightened One yet shunning his true nature.

Waiting until they've both had their full Arima tosses a pair of napkins between them. "Well done, let us continue."

Kishou then steps a bit closer, over the massive pool of blood and strings of flesh, and passes between the initiates.

"The human body can be divided into six major limbs; the hands, feet, torso, and neck/head. As Claymores we have the ability to digest copious amounts of flesh, so much so that we are capable of devouring multiple people in one sitting. Some say it's revolting, I say it's fascinating. Nature gave us this ability for a reason, don't you think? Everything has a reason..."

Except me.

He stares up group of moths fluttering about the fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling.

"Where was I? Yes, these six major limbs can be eaten and their innate chakra absobed into our bodies. This means that as we eat we not only quell the hunger but also replenish our chakra reserves--but I'll get to the latter later. Each of the six limbs contain roughly 50 points of chakra each, which makes an entire body worth 300 chakra points in total should it be devoured. This way you can really stick a win to your opponent, by eating them, haha."

Rubbing the back of his head he turned to look at them now, "So, remember I just mentioned devouring chakra? Well yes, our bodies are also capable of ingesting and digesting almost all forms of chakra including elemental, neutral, Senjutsu, Bijuu, etc. But note, we aren't able to eat chakra when it is molded specially for techniques, unless it is used in a free form manner. That means, if someone rushes at you with a Rasengan don't go trying to eat it, despite it being raw chakra. Instead, we must wait until this chakra has been denatured and reduced to nothing but wasted energy. Luckily for us we have ways and means of denaturing techniques to raw chakra so don't fret about what that even means for now. On that same note though, once a technique has been denatured and its chakra digested, we are able to harvest 50% of the total chakra that was used to create the technique. To put that in layman's terms, if an A ranked technique was broken down into raw chakra we'd be able to eat 15 chakra points from that technique, seeing that A ranks usually cost 30 chakra points to perform (50% of 30= 15)."

Genshi Ōkui ♎ Primeval Gluttony
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: (+50 chakra per limb)
Damage: N/A
Description: The basis of the Kureimoas' lust for flesh is firmly rooted in their curse of perpetual hunger. Despite this never ending agony, they are capable of feeding ever so often and being satisfied even if for for a moment. Through feeding, a Kureimoa gains a slight euphoria, like someone eating their favorite food prepared just perfectly, along with the pent up chakra stored within the flesh of their victims. This chakra can be ingested by the Kureimoa and added to their own chakra reserves or use it to fuel various chakra intensive techniques of the clan such as healing. The human body is divided into six (6) sections when being the main course of a Kureimoa's meal; both hands, feet, and the head as well as torso. Each of these sections contain 50 points of chakra and are able to be harvested by the Kureimoa clansman through feeding. When added up this means every person consumed by the Kureimoa provides but 300 chakra points, less than 50% of their original reserves. However their Hunger doesn't end there, Claymores also possess a hunger for knowledge where they are able to access the thoughts, sentiments, memories, or even emptions of their victims through simple touch--even if the target is dead. With their ability to digest almost all forms of chakra (such as neutral, elemental, Raw Senjutsu, as well as Bijuu chakra) they are able to devour not just flesh but actual energies when presented the opportunity. This chakra eating habit can only apply to raw, unmolded chakra and not actual techniques. Meaning, they must wait until said technique has been broken down to a point where it becomes simply raw, unmolded chakra. Whenever Kurochi overpowers an opponent's technique and the physical and chakra properties of said technique have been degraded, the Claymores are able to harvest that lingering, unmolded chakra through either eating it manually or using the Kurochi as a proxy to take it into their bodies. When metabolizing the raw chakra of a deteriorated technique a Kureimoa gains 50% of the cost of said technique as chakra to their reserves. This means, an A ranked technique (30/60) reduced to chakra or a simple burst of raw chakra gives the Kureimoa only 15 chakra should it be eaten/absorbed. Due to the fact that traditional medicine and medical procedures are wasted on a Kureimoa this technique is the first of the two core CCJ that provide them their only source of sustenance and as such can be performed as many times as needed by with a lengthy cooldown between uses. Accessing sentiments and absorbing lingering chakra has no cooldown however.

Note: Must be of at least Ghoul rank to perform
Note: Can only be performed every 5 turns whether in part (eating only a few limbs) or in full (eating an entire body)

"
This might be a lot to take in, any questions?"

Kaneki takes the napkin and tosses it to the side. He didn't have particularly good memories with Napkins and Blood.
You must be registered for see images

Listening to Arima-san, slowly his sanity started to return, along with showcases of hunger. Kaneki would naturally forget who he is when he is on a bloodlust, he rarely remembers who he is, as generally he is a calm and collected individual, but what must be, must be at the end of the day.

I have no questions, everything seems rather clear.

With her belly full, it was easier to concentrate and to listen. She didn't focus on single words anymore, and instead, she managed to understand whole sentences and paragraphs. She noted every word her mentor said in a blank spot in her memory. Naturally, she was very intelligent and adroit. It was easy for her to follow all the instructions. As long as she had a snack beforehand. The napkin wasn't necessary. She threw it away, and instead licked her lips once again, cleaning her face of any residue blood.

I can't wait to digest some chakra. This meat is raw.

"Excellent, you're all such fast learners. We'll get to eating chakra in a bit, Kiana, I'm sure you're eager for that part. For now I want to introduce you to the gem of the Claymores, Kurochi, or Vile Chakra as our western victims call it. Kurochi is only accessible by us, for us..."

Holding out an upturned palm the ground directly below Arima's feet, just inches from Kaneki and Kiana, would appear to become bruised as blotches of a pitch black energy started growing there. The energy quickly cultivates and shoots up, licking at the air like a hungry flame. Only, it wasn't fire, nor was it giving off any heat. Instead the black stuff refined itself into thin, hairlike tentacles and began inching their way to both initiates. For Kaneki a tentacle would wrap around his arm and crawl its way up to his neck, like a snake testing the size of its prey while for Kiana another tentacle would brush the side of her face before wrapping around her waist.

"For the regular human they would feel pain unimaginable if Kurochi every came into contact with them like that. Kurochi shares our insatiable hunger in that, it devours all that it touches, be it chakra or physical objects, our darkness can eradicate it."

Throughout his speech, Arima doesn't turn around to look at the energy, his focus was rather up at the ceiling, at the circling moths.

"With practice you'll see that Kurochi can take infinite shapes and forms so long as you dedicate effort. It can go from hard enough to bend steel, to soft enough to cradle an egg, it all depends on the task at hand and your ability. I have introduce your bodies to this unique energy to sort of jump start its process within you, and as such I want you to try and manifest Kurochi for yourselves. Legend has it that the Vile Chakra usually takes the form of the thing you most dread the first time you manifest it. I'm interested to see your fears..."

Arima could remember the first time he himself called on the power of Vile Chakra, it had manifested itself in a grand amount, completely obliderating an entire building and replacing the rubble with pitch black constructs of monitors and test tubes, as well as the doctor who had brought his artificial life into being--

Not now. Goddamit. Not now.

Kurochi ♎ Vile Chakra
Type: Offensive/Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: C/S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15/40
Damage: 30/80
Description: The special chakra nature only found in Claymores, Kurochi is like the physical manifestation of their hunger and agony. The energy itself is pitch black in appearance and appears and behaves almost like water with its amorphous shape shifting and flexibility. This malleability isn't to be underestimated though, as the energy is both capable of being dense and hard enough to shatter bones and also precise and thin enough to remove a strand of hair. Claymores can manifest Kurochi directly within their bodies, where it can be seen dripping from their pores and eyes, as well as directly from it, or even the area short ranged around them. They are also able to manipulate this energy up to long range chakra control and may sustain pre-existing constructs with -10 chakra per turn for up to three turns and cannot be formed within 5 meters of the opponent. When in contact with living things, Kurochi's effects can be described as "warm" to the touch, not with heat but rather the effect it has where it gradually degrades the objects it touch in a parasitic manner, feeding on both the chakra and physical aspects of its target(s) until nothing is left. All elements one rank weak to Kurochi (raw and Senjutsu chakra) are devoured near immediately when interacting with it while neutral elements (elemental and other hyper natures like Bijuu chakra) are degraded at normal pace. Kurochi manifestations can range from as small as kunai (C ranked) to as large as the Doton technique Mountain Smash (S ranked).




Note: The S ranked version can only be performed 4x a match
Note: If the S ranked variant is used then no other forms of Kurochi manipulation above A ranked can be used in the following turn.

Arima was quick on the performance he had trust seemingly in us. As his hand is set high, we see chakra oozing through. Dark, so dark it was as if Kaneki was gazing through a hole in time and space, omitting no light practically. It flickered like flames, but quickly fell on the ground, dividing and making it's way towards the students. This energy, was what the Claymore had pride in, as it slowly makes it way, crawling above Kaneki, towards his neck and ear... it would give him a natural, unpleasant memory, after all, it reminded him, of something else entirely. However, it was time... time to show him being capable of using his hatred and hunger to the level of creating something similar. He held both his hands before him, in form of a cup, as he collected his strength in those palms. His chakra was naturally imbued by the foul soul, spirit and chakra he had in his core. A foul energy which was so dark, it would obscure the very light said to be gods first creation. Unlike many, this clan, truly was born in the darkness, it never had any business with creation.

This energy then, quickly shapes itself, and molds itself. Kaneki's eyes were closed, but when he opened them, due to the crawling feel on his hands, his eyes were proof yet again. Arima was right, it was probably... something he did not believe it would shape itself into.

A Centipede... He said under his breath.

It was bizarre. Kiana listened to Arima, carefully soaking up his words, while not lifting her eyes from the black darkness on the ground in front of them. The moment it wrapped around her waist, she could feel her body responding with insatiable hunger. The darkness awoke a hunger, deeper than she ever felt before. She wasn't just hungry, as she just had a snack, but she was hungry and as such could devour a giant delicious human within a moments notice. She embraced the darkness gripping around her, and she let it manifest within her. The darkness suddenly flew through her body, raging violently like a massive tsunami that is about to hit the shoreline of an abandoned island. She knew what she had to do and how to do it. It was childsplay, yet she was curious what would happen. Her deepest fear. She easily embraced, took over and manipulated the darkness and hunger within her and manifested it in front of her. A pitch black bucket filled with dark liquid appeared on the ground in front of her and Kiana froze. Flashes from that night raced in front of her eyes. The scarred eyes.

:hi: I have a day to myself today so time for some extra late replies xD
Seeing the centipede form for Kaneki and a mysterious bucket for Kiana Arima doesn't question it. Fears were often illogical after all. Instead, he continues with the teaching.

"Now I want you to force your fears to conform to you. Change the shape of the Kurcohi into what you want it to become. We control our minds, not the other way around. Once you've done this we move on to other properties Kurochi; chakra consummation and degradation of physical matter."

Then he forms two rock clones of himself for each student. Nothing special about them, they look pretty rudimentary. For the purpose of this exercise they'll be treated as A ranked creations. He waits on his students to respond.

The centipede....

He uttered in a very low ans calm voice. He looked and gazed at it. Terrified at its sight to a degree. But, it was only his mind. He knew this already. He knew that it was in his hand to control this being. In his hand to determine its power over him. So, he envinision his creation to slowly, merge together. The small being appeared to be almost fighting. Until, it crumbled to a ball. To an egg of sorts. As if it almost, cracked.

Okay so in light of recent happenings McRazor has been put on hiatus and I'll continue with just you, Six. And you also opted for a quicker, analysis type of training so let's get to it.

So you've already learned these CCJ's when we RP'd:

Genshi Ōkui ♎ Primeval Gluttony
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: (+50 chakra per limb)
Damage: N/A
Description: The basis of the Kureimoas' lust for flesh is firmly rooted in their curse of perpetual hunger. Despite this never ending agony, they are capable of feeding ever so often and being satisfied even if for for a moment. Through feeding, a Kureimoa gains a slight euphoria, like someone eating their favorite food prepared just perfectly, along with the pent up chakra stored within the flesh of their victims. This chakra can be ingested by the Kureimoa and added to their own chakra reserves or use it to fuel various chakra intensive techniques of the clan such as healing. The human body is divided into six (6) sections when being the main course of a Kureimoa's meal; both hands, feet, and the head as well as torso. Each of these sections contain 50 points of chakra and are able to be harvested by the Kureimoa clansman through feeding. When added up this means every person consumed by the Kureimoa provides but 300 chakra points, less than 50% of their original reserves. However their Hunger doesn't end there, Claymores also possess a hunger for knowledge where they are able to access the thoughts, sentiments, memories, or even emptions of their victims through simple touch--even if the target is dead. With their ability to digest almost all forms of chakra (such as neutral, elemental, Raw Senjutsu, as well as Bijuu chakra) they are able to devour not just flesh but actual energies when presented the opportunity. This chakra eating habit can only apply to raw, unmolded chakra and not actual techniques. Meaning, they must wait until said technique has been broken down to a point where it becomes simply raw, unmolded chakra. Whenever Kurochi overpowers an opponent's technique and the physical and chakra properties of said technique have been degraded, the Claymores are able to harvest that lingering, unmolded chakra through either eating it manually or using the Kurochi as a proxy to take it into their bodies. When metabolizing the raw chakra of a deteriorated technique a Kureimoa gains 50% of the cost of said technique as chakra to their reserves. This means, an A ranked technique (30/60) reduced to chakra or a simple burst of raw chakra gives the Kureimoa only 15 chakra should it be eaten/absorbed. Due to the fact that traditional medicine and medical procedures are wasted on a Kureimoa this technique is the first of the two core CCJ that provide them their only source of sustenance and as such can be performed as many times as needed by with a lengthy cooldown between uses. Accessing sentiments and absorbing lingering chakra has no cooldown however.

Note: Must be of at least Ghoul rank to perform
Note: Can only be performed every 5 turns whether in part (eating only a few limbs) or in full (eating an entire body)
Kagirinai no Sonzai ♎ Life Eternal
Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost:-(35/70/150)
Damage: N/A
Description: The second half to the Kureimoas' creed to survival, Kagirinai no Sonzai is based on their ability to heal from wounds without the use of medical ninjutsu or machinery. At a cost of 70 chakra for major wounds, a Kureimoa is able to recover from grueling injuries and keep fighting longer. Each human body is divided into six (6) sections to the Kureimoa (head(1), feet (2), hands (2), and torso (1)), and this includes for themselves. This model specifically allows them to target and heal important areas of the body that are deemed too crucial to lose as quickly as possible, seeing as their resistance to pain may sometimes leave them feeling invulnerable. Coming from inside the clansman's body and pouring outward with Kurochi, the healing process is extensive enough to mend deep/shallow cuts, singed, frostbitten, and even necrotic/rotting skin, flush toxins and poisons from the body, and even regerate entire limbs if necessary. When dealing with superficial injuries like the aforementioned singed skin or shallow cuts, setting bones, etc the Kureimoa is able to only spend half of the maximum amount required (35 chakra points) to heal said injuries. Or, at the same time, if chakra proves to be too precious such as when the Kureimoa is in an intensive fight, he can spend half the chakra to cover extensive wounds but not fully heal them. An example of this would be like stitching a massive cut shut with Kurochi, covering an amputated limb to stop bleeding, or hold removed limbs together with Kurochi. Although very flexible, the healing only applies to physical injuries and not mental ones like Genjutsu damage. During the regeration of major parts such as a hand or leg, it takes a move of the three alotted (including this technique's activation). Which means when major healing is performed the Kureimoa is able to renengerate one limb already, and only two more limbs can be regrown with in thst same turn and the obvious downside would sacrificing the ability perform any more techniques until the next turn. The ultimate healing process of the Kureimoa however, is the secret technique dubbed only as "Dying Light" where once per match/event, the body is flooded with copious amounts of chakra and Kurochi as a terrifyingly fast healing process grips the Kureimoa's body. This ultimate healing can mend even the most gruesome of injuries in seconds and bring the Kureimoa back to pristine health. Doing this requires the Kureimoa to be alive and have his head still be attached to his spine/body while it costs a whopping 150 chakra and takes 2 of the 3 allotted slots per turn.

Note: Must be at least Ghoul rank to perform
Note: Minor healing (costing 35 chakra) can only be done once every 3 turns
Note: Major healing (costing 70 chakra) can only be done once every 5 turns
Note: Only one version of healing can be performed in the same turn. That is, the major and minor healing processes cannot take place at the same time
Note: Only Claymores of Heartless rank and above are able to use "Dying Light"
Kurochi ♎ Vile Chakra
Type: Offensive/Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: C/S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15/40
Damage: 30/80
Description: The special chakra nature only found in Claymores, Kurochi is like the physical manifestation of their hunger and agony. The energy itself is pitch black in appearance and appears and behaves almost like water with its amorphous shape shifting and flexibility. This malleability isn't to be underestimated though, as the energy is both capable of being dense and hard enough to shatter bones and also precise and thin enough to remove a strand of hair. Claymores can manifest Kurochi directly within their bodies, where it can be seen dripping from their pores and eyes, as well as directly from it, or even the area short ranged around them. They are also able to manipulate this energy up to long range chakra control and may sustain pre-existing constructs with -10 chakra per turn for up to three turns and cannot be formed within 5 meters of the opponent. When in contact with living things, Kurochi's effects can be described as "warm" to the touch, not with heat but rather the effect it has where it gradually degrades the objects it touch in a parasitic manner, feeding on both the chakra and physical aspects of its target(s) until nothing is left. All elements one rank weak to Kurochi (raw and Senjutsu chakra) are devoured near immediately when interacting with it while neutral elements (elemental and other hyper natures like Bijuu chakra) are degraded at normal pace. Kurochi manifestations can range from as small as kunai (C ranked) to as large as the Doton technique Mountain Smash (S ranked).

Note: The S ranked version can only be performed 4x a match
Note: If the S ranked variant is used then no other forms of Kurochi manipulation above A ranked can be used in the following turn.

The only ones left are the following:

Zankokuna Teikoku ♎ Cruel Hegemony
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A (+10/20 to technique)
Damage: N/A (+20 to technique)
Description: Capitalizing on the Kureimoas' innate ability to mold Kurochi within their bodies, Cruel Hegemony is a technique which details the effect dormant Kurochi in the body has on one's chakra and its applications. First, by coursing trace amounts of Kurochi through the tenketsu, the Kureimoa is able to alter the look and behavior of its regular chakra, more specifically advanced manipulations such as elemental chakra. By mixing ones chakra nature's with Kuroch a few important effects become immediately noticeable, such as the element adopting the jet black appearance of Kurochi while also sharing a few of its traits. The infused element will gain the ability to affect both chakra and matter alike, as is the characteristic trait of Kurochi. For example, a Kurochi infused fireball will be pitch black in color, obscuring vision while being able to devour the chakra and physical aspects of its target(s) unlike regular fire.Water techniques become severely discolored, looking very murky while Doton techniques become pitch black--even the tiny particles. Lightning also becomes black and solid variations of Futon (such as Vacuum Blade) becomes dark grey color. However this effect only applies to elements released directly from the Claymore's body such as the hands, mouth, feet, etc. When applied to the Kureimoa's strongest chakra nature (primary affinity) of the five base affinities (I.e. no CE's, HA's, KKG, etc) the technique takes only 10 chakra each time it is activated but 20 for all other elements.


Note: Lasts 4 turns with each usage
Note: Can only be performed 3x by Heartless Ones and below and 4x by Phantasmal Ones and up
Note: Can only be applied to elements of S ranked 3x in total and Forbidden ranked only 2x
Note: Requires a 2 turn cool down once it ends.
Note: Usable members of Ghoul rank and above.
Masukumēka No Me ♎ Mask Maker’s Eye
Type: Offensive/ Supplementary/ Defensive
Rank: A-S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30-40 (-X per turn from target, -10 per turn active)
Damage: 60-80
Description: The eye of the mask maker, is one of the developments which the members of the clan made, in order to show proof not to themselves but, rather to the world of them not being the beasts and vicious creatures that they believed them to be, rather, a clan and more so a civilized group of individuals, who were able to along with their gifted abilities to create one of the most advanced and yet again elegant ways of battling. Using the control they had over Kurochi and the ability to manifest it within their body, they would manipulate it under their first layer of skin, creating a sort of flexible, sub-dermal body armor, which does not only stand strong as just an armor, but is the very core principle of this art of battling which they have developed. Due to the very parasitic nature, and potency of the chakra, they will be able to exhibit the properties of the energy from their very bodies by having it seep through various areas of the skin. Along with their ability to eat away chakra at an alarming rate, and strength and weaknesses of the element, to leak through the users skin, allowing them to showcase the usages in a closed quarter combat style of battling. Due to the complicated stances of the technique, it was later separated into 3 distinctive "flows" of battling, which entailed sparring/dueling, defense, and complete annihilation, or as they preferred to call it "Conquest".

Flow of Divinity ♎ – Using the basic control they possess over Kurochi, the properties of the chakra will be able to leak through the skin at strategic moments through will, without much waste happening (that is, unnecessary amounts being released from the user’s body). Considering the chakra was under the first layer of skin, contact with the skin of a Kureimoa during this technique will feel almost as if there were a thousand tiny mouths eating/nibbling not only on the skin, but also the chakra should it be present--according to the normal powers/weaknesses of Kurochi as a chakra type. Another fact is that if they deem it worthy, the Kureimoa has the option to release the Kurochi from their body during free form combat which can obscure vision, helping in close quarters, or simply defend from free form attacks, as well as release Kurochi to cover select parts of their bodies, boosting offensive capabilities (this corresponds with the Flow of Divinity's rank, which is A. Costs 30 chakra, deals 60 damage, and takes a move to manifest and control) which can take any shape or form really, depending on the user's imagination. The only limitation to this is that the Kurochi can only move a few meters from the skin, which means the Kureimoa would have to be close to the target to deal some damage. The Kurochi will have an almost weightlessness appearance as it leaks through the pores of the skin, freely allowing them to create very strong offensive or defense themed forces in close quarter combat, for just one touch with the destructive chakra can have detrimental effects on a normal human’s body.

Flow of Absolution ♎ – Using the very same principle and the rules based on the strengths and weaknesses of a Kureimoa, the Kurochi, will be able to further increase the defensive capabilities, preventing any direct harm to the Kureimoa's organs, bones, or muscle. Considering the skin is one of the easiest organs of the body to regenerate (at least, for the Kureimoas), the Kurochi will be able to serve as a sort of unseen defense, lying directly underneath and protecting the user, following its own S/W of course. In the event of an attack the skin can be easily sacrificed while the Kurochi underneath serves as the true defense. For example a sword cut would slice the skin open but stop short at the defensive layer of chakra underneath. Whenever the skin is removed, the armor of Kurochi is exposed and the user is able to manipulate it in the sake of defense or attack, subjecting the attacker/attack to point blank, pure Kurochi (this corresponds with the rank of the Flow of Absolution, which is A. Costs 30 chakra, deals 60 damage, and takes a move to manipulate) which naturally devours both physical and chakra properties of a target. This would mean, the average "fatal" strike done to a Kureimoa would actually be more deadly to the attacker than the Kureimoa itself. Kurochi in this usage cannot extend 5 meters should it be exposed.

Flow of Conquest ♎ – Is when the Kuremoa is able to establish some form of sustained contact with the body of the enemy. During this "flow" the Kurochi is rushed to the hands (or any other area the Kureimoa wishes) and leaks onto the skin causing the covered body part to become pitch black. When this happens, the Kurochi will be able to show a very characteristic trait of it, which would be siphoning chakra. On the first turn of sustained contact, the Kurochi within the Kureimoa begins to relieve the target of 50 points of chakra, but as the contact is maintained, over time, this value stacks for 3 turns, adding up to 150 points of chakra removed at maximum. Feasting can be done when sustained contact is held either with a Kureimoa's Kurochi infused skin or the Kurochi itself, and can lead to loss of vitality in some areas of the body as the Kurochi literally eats away at their flesh while leeching them dry of chakra. This a like the cruel variant of the Kureimoas' hunger for knowledge where they are able to harness thoughts and memories of their foes. Only difference is that this takes the chakra instead.


Connecting the "flows" given to them by the "Vile Chakra", they were able to incorporate various martial arts (such as free form and non-chakra aided Taijutsu), allowing them a rather strict control over closed quarter combat. The vile chakra also has a property of being able to consume weapons of the Kureimoa, from the inside, or coating them on the outside, especially the cancerous organ of the Kagune. This technique can be used to coat and infuse the Kagune of each Kureimoa with either of the "flows" in order to boost battle prowess--regardless of which state the Kagune is in ( i.e. Rinkaku, Ukaku, etc)


Note: The first two Flows can only be used 2x by Heartless Ones and below while 3x by Phantasmal Ones and above. The last Flow can only be done 3x, regardless of rank.
Note: Each variant lasts 4 turns each, excepting S-Ranked Conquest which lasts 3
Note: Flows of Divinity and Absolution require a two turn cool down upon deactivation
Note: Flow of Conquest requires a three turn cool down upon deactivation.

Explain them to me, the best you can along with any questions and I'll fill in wherever you go wrong. But let's be real here, you helped devise them both so I don't expect any wallies.

Cruel Hegemony

This is a technique which the Kuremoa use the fusion between their specific sorts of chakra, the Kurochi and the normal chakra which is released from any Tekketsu spot of the human body. By adding Kurochi to these spots when the use is channeling elemental chakra for the usage of a technique, the Kurochi will envelop the technique, adding properties of itself. That is not only in a visual matter, but even in a property matter. Primal affinity only usages 10 chakra for a total of 20 boost to each technique. It is a rather basic empowering technique.

Mask Makers Eye

This is a rather dope technique as it incorporates the usages of Taijutsu, Kurochi and the Kagune, to create a pseudo fighting style, though much lower than a true one, with a limitless potential on both offense, defense and memory reading. It is powerful, quick, intuitive, and has some of the most ridiculous ****ing boosts there are out there, and fun part it doesn't even count as a boost. It's truly an amazing technique, with different flow of battles for both, offense, defense and chakra devouring. I like it a lot.

I have no questions. I hope this was enough.
