Kōtetsu Inuzuka
Beneath the ever-shifting canopy of the Summer Court, where sunlight and dew-dappled blossoms danced in an endless harmony of spring and summer, the stillness was broken by the rhythmic thud of padded footsteps. Kōtetsu, The King of Beasts, made his entrance astride the formidable Ninken, Solaire, whose fur shimmered under the dappled sunlight with an almost ethereal glow that outshone even the golden warmth of the Court's ever-blooming flowers. The massive beast moved with a predator's grace, each stride a testament to raw power and regal poise, its deep heterochromatic eyes scanning the court with intelligence that surpassed that of ordinary beasts.
Perched upon Kōtetsu's broad shoulder was Muninn, his fylgjur—a serpentine winged beast with marigold-colored scales and curious emerald eyes. The other companions, Speki, Svanna, and Sirris, lay dormant within Kōtetsu’s form, their presence felt in the faint, shimmering aura surrounding him—a quiet promise of untapped strength. The black and white gauntlets upon his hands glistened faintly, their surfaces smooth and warm, as though carved from the sun's rays and the pale light of the moon itself. They pulsed subtly with power, a dichotomy of balance and conflict that mirrored the man who bore them. Kōtetsu’s crimson eyes scanned the Summer Court with a calm intensity, the faintest flicker of feral energy lying in wait behind his measured gaze.
The air around him seemed to shift, the vibrant life of the Summer Court acknowledging the presence of a predator who ruled not through dominion, but through unassailable strength and wisdom. Birds fell silent, their songs replaced by a gentle rustle as leaves and flowers leaned toward him. Solaire came to a halt at the heart of the Court, his claws digging into the mossy earth with a deliberate finality.
“Mirabelle,” Kōtetsu said, his gaze locking onto her like a predator sizing up its prey. The corners of his mouth curled ever so slightly, and the subtle mockery in his tone was as sharp as the claws of the beasts that prowled at his command. “I hope you've become stronger in the time I haven't seen you.” The slight smile that danced on his face hinted at both challenge and nostalgia, as though testing an old rival while simultaneously acknowledging the weight of shared history. His gaze lingered on her, piercing yet steady, waiting for her reaction—a spark of defiance, perhaps, or the tempered resolve of someone who had spent that time sharpening her edges.

Description: The Beast Fang, 獣牙, is a manifested fang of the Basmu lodged in Kotetsu’s body. It was discovered by Iskandrous when he examined Kotetsu’s body at his medical clinic in Tsumigakure following their battle in the Kaizoku Sea. The fang is no larger than an average forearm, just under one foot in length. Interestingly, the fang grew inside Kotetsu’s body rather than breaking off the Basmu at all; in this sense, it is more like a bone growth rather than an actual fang taken from the beast. Its features appear ivory and smooth, with a pointed tip though no edges. Because the fang grew inside Kotetsu it has infected him with Scarlet Rot, though this was later contained and controlled by Iskandrous. Passively, the Fang appears to enhance Kotetsu’s base nature, enhancing his Inuzuka clan techniques depending on the state he is merged with his companions. While unmerged, considered the ‘base’ state, from his entities his Inuzuka techniques gain an additional 15 damage. He also gains 15 physical damage mitigation and suffers from a 1-point Vitality penalty due to the infestation of Scarlet Rot.
Sōjōkōka (lit. 相乗効果, “Synergy”): The Beast Fang provides Synergy depending on the state that Kotetsu is in with his companions. By default, Kotetsu gains the above base state enhancements and penalties. While merged with powerful breeds of Ninken, specifically those gained through Mastery, Kotetsu’s damage enhancement grows to a total of 30 additional damage to his Inuzuka, Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu. Likewise, while in this state, he loses the damage mitigation gained from his base state and instead gains a passive 20 health points healed per turn. He also loses no points in Vitality. While merged with more average Ninken, such as the High Breed, Kotetsu gains no enhanced damage from his state, 20 stackable physical damage mitigation, and his rotations gain an additional 2 base speed points. Note that while merged with two different types of Ninken will not cause both of these states to activate; rather, the state that has more of a specific type of Ninken will be favored.
Kusatta Kaiten (lit. 腐った回転, “Rotten Rotation”): Rotten Rotation is a Scarlet Rot/Inuzuka combination technique that is activated at the cost of a single move. When activated the user will perform a typical rotation that has a long-range reach, dispersing Rot within mid-range of their position that will immediately infest anyone caught by it with the basic form of Scarlet Rot. The Rot itself moves at the speed of an S-Rank Wind Release technique enhanced by 5 base speed levels. The rotation itself inflicts 100 damage strong to all natures and abilities, with the exception of Anutu and its components. Can be used four times per battle.
Shinja no Okurimono (lit. 信者の贈り物, “Adherent’s Gift”): The fang’s infestation has caused Kotetsu’s body to respond to the Scarlet Rot. While he does not gain an affinity for it or the capability to become immune to it, he does become able to tap into its capabilities periodically. Passively, Kotetsu’s Inuzuka techniques, specifically those that are strictly Taijutsu in nature and inflict their damage on contact, become able to infest their target with the basic form of the Scarlet Rot. Kotetsu becomes able to make use of any canon Scarlet Rot technique, with the exception of Advanced (Basmu) or Scarlet Aeonia, through the Beast Fang. He can make use of a single Scarlet Rot technique every three turns.

Type: Relic Weapon
Rank: Forbidden
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 80
Description: The Sanguine Maw is a two-handed and double-edged axe crafted from Tiamat’s ivory bones. At the base of the grip is a single crystalline orb flickering with black and white energies representative of a fully powered weapon core. The axe is bound to the Boar seal and can be summoned to the user or sealed passively at their discretion. When wielded with two hands the user can, at the cost of a move, swing the axe to inflict 80 damage.
Intrinsic Traits:
Sanguine Affinity (I-III): Fortifies the user’s vitality, enhancing their health by an additional 20/40/60 points. (II)
Roiling Blood (I-III): The intensity of battle augments the user’s power. Increases all damage by 10/15/20% of Health Points missing from biography’s maximum Health, up to a maximum of 40. (II)
Fortified Anatomy (I-III): Enhanced physical durability confers the user a passive damage reduction to physical-based techniques. Reduces physical damage taken by 10/20/30 points. (II)
Exsanguination (I-II): Exsanguination is a devastating ability that combines the power of Roiling Blood with the user’s own overwhelming life force, augmented by the Sanguine Maw. The ability manifests on the Maw as blood, a physical representation of the user’s own lost health. When unleashed it forms a crescent blood wave, launched at the speed of twice an S-Rank Water Release technique and neutral to all techniques it clashes with. It has a long-range reach. The damage it inflicts is correlated to 125%/150% of Health Points currently missing. Tier II Exsanguination passively affords the user a 50% reduction to all effects of Health Fatigue. This passive is not active when Exsanguination is on cooldown. Can be used twice per battle, once every ten turns. (I)
Blood Brawler
A warrior born in blood and battle. Alters the appearance of Sanguine Maw into that of a one-handed axe, allowing its swings to be performed with a single hand.
Sanguinary (B-Rank, active): A skill that enhances the benefit conferred by Fortified Anatomy, exchanging its passive benefit for a significantly increased physical damage reduction. The drawback is that it increases the damage intake of Spiritual-based techniques by 50%. This ability lasts for three turns and reduces physical damage by 30/50/80. Can be used twice per battle, once every three turns. While on cooldown the effects of Fortified Anatomy remain inert.
Bloodied Veteran (A-Rank, passive): Passively strengthens Roiling Blood, increasing its damage enhancement to 30/40/50% of the user’s missing Health Points in exchange for it only being applied to Taijutsu and Bukijutsu. Cannot be applied to elemental Taijutsu.
Reborn in Blood (S-Rank, passive): When the user’s Health Points fall to zero they will passively gain a single point of health back, allowing them to continue fighting. Can be activated once per arc.
Tunnel Vision (S-Rank, active): For a moment the user is able to ignore the effects of Health Fatigue and pain entirely, becoming an unrelenting scourge. This technique lasts for two turns or until an enemy is not within short-range of the user. Can be activated twice per battle.
Blood Render (F-Rank, active): Converts Exsanguination into a devastating close-quarters ability. The technique remains the same with the exception of the blood forming on the axe and remaining on it, unleashed in short-range in a massive explosion of blood. Increases damage done to 175%/250% of the user’s missing Health Points.

Description: Grasps of the God Eater is a weapon created by Kōtetsu and the master blacksmith of the Inuzuka clan. Forged from the bones of the Guardian of the Forest who was driven mad by the Red Fever, the gauntlets sport several sharp edges, covering the user's hands up to their elbow. The weapon is interlaced with black metal to give it an extravagant design with contrasting black and white colors and is adorned with numerous small runes engraved across it through the use of Fuuinjutsu. This weapon has unique abilities related to the fields used to forge it.
Notes:
- The weapon requires mastery of Yang Release and advanced Fuuinjutsu.
- While Unravel is active, the gauntlets lose their passive +20 damage.

This weapon has unique abilities related to the fields used to forge it.
Sunchaser: The user’s hand-related Taijutsu techniques passively gain a damage increase of +20 due to the infusion of Yang Energy granting the weapon increased durability and strength. The weapon can also be used to perform physical attacks, which deal 80 base damage at the cost of a move per turn. When used to attack this weapon does not benefit from the passive damage boost.
Solstice: Classified as an ego weapon due to its limited sentience gained due to the infusion of Yang energy during the forging process, the gauntlets passively drain -50 Yang chakra from the user that seeps into targets struck by them. This causes an imbalance in their chakra network that forces the target to spend 2x the amount of chakra required for their techniques for the next three turns. This does not increase the quantity of chakra in a technique, but simply a strain on the target's reserve. Appropriate surges or chakra infusions can remove the debilitating effects of this ability.
Unravel: An incredibly useful ability activated at the cost of 70 chakra and a move per turn, the numerous runes on the gauntlets begin to illuminate with a faint crimson glow, allowing the weapon to destroy techniques just before physical contact is made by absorbing the properties of the technique and unraveling the chakra or energy that composes it. This empowers the gauntlets with the properties of the absorbed technique and allows them to take on the damage value of the absorbed technique without harming the user. The properties of techniques refer to their auxiliary effects that cause harm, such as causing the gauntlets to become heated. This lasts for two turns, after which the runes lose their luster and become dormant. This ability can be used twice per battle and requires a three-turn cooldown after the effects expire. Additionally, no Fuuinjutsu above A-rank can be used during the same duration.

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)

(Yōton/Fuuinjutsu: Kokū no Zantō - Sorarisu) Yang Release/Sealing Art: Remnants of the Void - Solaris
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 80 (-10 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: Solaris is a unique Advanced Fuuinjutsu seal placed on the body that incorporates Yang chakra. This seal works by passively siphoning Yang chakra from the user’s body and storing it, with the seal being capable of storing up to 80 chakra in total. Making use of the body’s condition as a trigger this seal will activate whenever the user falls unconscious as a result of an enemy technique. Upon activation it floods the user’s body with the previously stored chakra, purging any invading chakra and healing the body by the amount of chakra stored within the seal and essentially “breathing life” back into the user, allowing them to regain consciousness as the invading chakra is flushed from their system. In addition to resuscitation, the user’s constitution will be temporarily boosted for the following two turns due to the abundant Yang chakra, making them immune to Spiritual techniques with less chakra than that stored in the seal. While this energy heals physical wounds, it does nothing to mitigate the damage done to the spirit, meaning that if the user’s health is depleted through damage done spiritually, this technique will not resuscitate them. Due to the overwhelming amount of Yang energy present within the body, the user will be unable to make use of Yin release, other Spiritual techniques, or elemental techniques for the following two turns. Their speed is also reduced by -3 levels, and they are unable to use techniques above A-rank for the same duration.
Notes:
- This technique must be placed on the user’s biography.
- This technique can only be used once per battle, with the seal’s activation counting as a move.
- Upon resuscitation, this technique will heal the user up to the amount of chakra stored in the seal, though it cannot recover HP lost from spiritual damage

Beneath the ever-shifting canopy of the Summer Court, where sunlight and dew-dappled blossoms danced in an endless harmony of spring and summer, the stillness was broken by the rhythmic thud of padded footsteps. Kōtetsu, The King of Beasts, made his entrance astride the formidable Ninken, Solaire, whose fur shimmered under the dappled sunlight with an almost ethereal glow that outshone even the golden warmth of the Court's ever-blooming flowers. The massive beast moved with a predator's grace, each stride a testament to raw power and regal poise, its deep heterochromatic eyes scanning the court with intelligence that surpassed that of ordinary beasts.
Perched upon Kōtetsu's broad shoulder was Muninn, his fylgjur—a serpentine winged beast with marigold-colored scales and curious emerald eyes. The other companions, Speki, Svanna, and Sirris, lay dormant within Kōtetsu’s form, their presence felt in the faint, shimmering aura surrounding him—a quiet promise of untapped strength. The black and white gauntlets upon his hands glistened faintly, their surfaces smooth and warm, as though carved from the sun's rays and the pale light of the moon itself. They pulsed subtly with power, a dichotomy of balance and conflict that mirrored the man who bore them. Kōtetsu’s crimson eyes scanned the Summer Court with a calm intensity, the faintest flicker of feral energy lying in wait behind his measured gaze.
The air around him seemed to shift, the vibrant life of the Summer Court acknowledging the presence of a predator who ruled not through dominion, but through unassailable strength and wisdom. Birds fell silent, their songs replaced by a gentle rustle as leaves and flowers leaned toward him. Solaire came to a halt at the heart of the Court, his claws digging into the mossy earth with a deliberate finality.
“Mirabelle,” Kōtetsu said, his gaze locking onto her like a predator sizing up its prey. The corners of his mouth curled ever so slightly, and the subtle mockery in his tone was as sharp as the claws of the beasts that prowled at his command. “I hope you've become stronger in the time I haven't seen you.” The slight smile that danced on his face hinted at both challenge and nostalgia, as though testing an old rival while simultaneously acknowledging the weight of shared history. His gaze lingered on her, piercing yet steady, waiting for her reaction—a spark of defiance, perhaps, or the tempered resolve of someone who had spent that time sharpening her edges.

Amidst the dense, shadowed forest, Mirabelle lay in tranquil slumber, the Jinchuriki of the Nibi resting in rare peace. A veteran of her age, her relentless pursuit of mastery had honed her skills to near perfection. Her command over the Nibi’s powers, her expertise in Yin-Yang Release, and her myriad other talents made her a force to be reckoned with. Beside her, her first creation, Briar, stood watch. A creature of ethereal beauty and raw power, Briar resembled a yokai feline, her fur a mesmerizing blend of black and white, with flames of the same colors flickering at the tips of her tails.
The serenity of their shared solace was broken by the sound of crunching leaves and the faint clinking of weapons. Briar’s ears twitched, her sharp gaze locking onto the intruders. A low, rumbling growl escaped her, but Mirabelle remained still, her calm unbroken. She had already sensed the chakra signature of an old rival. She had wondered if he would approach her directly—and now, it seemed, he had.
The King of Beasts emerged from the shadows, his voice cutting through the forest’s stillness. Mirabelle’s lips curled into a smile, her eyes snapping open, glowing like twin embers in the dark. Rising gracefully, she dusted herself off as Briar padded to her side, taking position exactly a meter away. “Kotetsu,” she greeted with a teasing warmth, her voice lilting with amusement. “Long time, no see.” She stretched languidly, her reddish-orange hair cascading in fiery waves around her face. She gestured toward Briar with a light laugh. “Of course, when you’re as strong as we are, it’s rare to find the time—or the need—to test our skills.”
Her stretch complete, Mirabelle’s tone shifted, her smile sharpening into something more predatory. “But I suppose one thing is clear—you came here for a reason. And believe me, I feel the same. So why waste time?” Her hand moved to the Banana Palm Fan at her waist. With a mental command of “Fire,” she swung the fan with precision, unleashing a violent maelstrom of flames. The inferno roared forward, eager to consume Kotetsu, engulfing the battlefield in an ocean of fire.
Simultaneously, Briar leapt into action. Harnessing the air as a medium, she summoned a massive vortex of emerald energy, a solar wind that spiraled behind Kotetsu. The 10x10x10 cyclone swept through the forest, incinerating leaves and small creatures in its wake. The combined assault was overwhelming, a devastating display of their synergy. Mirabelle smirked as she tracked Kotetsu’s movements through the chaos. “Simple enough start, no?” she mused telepathically to Briar.
“I suppose so,” Briar replied, her tone cool and measured.
“Going slow tends to be your downfall,” Matatabi’s voice chimed in, laced with sly amusement.
Mirabelle scoffed at the remark but kept her focus sharp, her fiery eyes locked on her opponent as the battle began in earnest.

(Bashōsen ) - Banana Palm Fan (120 Base Damage + 15 via AP = 135)
(Taiyofuuton: Hoshi no Jidai) Solar Wind Release: Age of the Stars
Type: Attack, Supplementary, Defensive
Rank: D - S (A)
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 10 - 40 (30)
Damage: 20 - 80 (60)
Description: Age of the Stars allows one the generalized ability to weaponize one’s solar wind chakra. In the process of doing this, the user has the ability to generate basic usages for the element. This can range from solidified solar wind constructs such as weaponry, blasts, tornadoes or anything within the realms of one’s imagination. Due to the nature of solar winds, these creations are superheated to the touch, capable of melting metals, ignite flammable substances, and evaporate water of two ranks below the strength of this technique. The size of which these constructs can reach is five meters for D to C Rank, ten meters for B to A Rank while S rank can reach up to fifteen meters. D – C rank requires no hand seals, while B rank requires one, A requires two and S rank requires three. In the case of A rank use, it can only be used thrice per battle with a cool down of one turn. S rank can only be used twice per battle with a cool down of two turns, but within that cool down, no Solar Wind Techniques above A rank can be used. These techniques can be formed anywhere within the battle field in the air (though must start 5 meters away from the opponent), from the user’s body or can be infused into a weapon in order to give the weapon superheated properties, as it glows a bright green coloration. In this cause however, it will completely melt the object in question after a single turn of use. As said in the CE, the user is immune the damage and effects of Solar Wind.
