[CC] Learning secrets of le Nekura clan..

[Shady Doctor]

I focus and open 4 human sized portals, one on each side of my body and a meter away from me, allowing massive amounts of Keigoku to pass through the portals and flow onto me. The awesome amount of Keigoku reacts in conjunction with my clan mark and infuses with my tenketsu, allowing me to transform my entire being into a living Keigoku being. I then walk through a portal and chill on the moon for a while. ._.

Questions: What happens if I get hit with a technique? How does damage work? Since I'm pure Keigoku, if I lose a limb, can I regenerate it via Keigoku?

First question: Well, what happens when you get hit by techniques normally? You aren't intangible Keigoku anymore, but instead solid, meaning things cant pass through you. You are essentially immune to A ranked jutsus, but anything higher causes damage equivalent to the jutsu used on you. Second question: See first answer and third question, no no regeneration.

 

[Shady Doctor]

Ok cool. ....

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Yeah, so you can use it now, but not in any fights you have ongoing. o.-

 

[Shady Doctor]

Now, the demon stare.

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Get out now

 

[Shady Doctor]

So post the jutsu so I can analyze it.

Okay, so what do you know of the Drain and how do you think it works?

 

[Shady Doctor]

The drain, if I'm correct is a way of stealing chakra from an enemy.

The way it works; I'm not sure. I think it's by using already existing Keigoku in a target to transfer chakra somehow?

 

[Sharingdork]

Okay, The Drain has nothing to do with chakra, so throw away that way of thinking. It's complete garbage.

So, The Drain is a method of tricking our own minds into believing we are not injured. It's a way to bypass the thalamus (the part of the brain which registers pain and distributes that information to sensory information, emotional processing, and actual "thinking" parts of your brain).

After your Keigoku makes contact with the intended target, you are able to call it back to yourself. When this "used" Keigoku is brought to you it acts in reverse when compared to normal Keigoku; you are granted this "good feeling", the opposite of pain (I'm not sure how to describe it, as the opposite of pain isn't necessarily the absence of pain; that would be like saying the opposite of cold is room temperature <.<). This feeling, however you wish to describe it, is essentially "negative pain" (math clicks to me, so I find it easy to understand like this). When the Keigoku pours this "negative pain" into your body, it cancels out "positive pain" (or, just pain) that you're feeling and allows your brain to stop registering the pain which you were previously feeling. This allows the Nekura to just pretend, for example, that their rib isn't broken and move normally. Now, this has uses, but it also has some major drawbacks.

Now, before we go on, let's take some time for you to ask all questions you have about The Drain, and for you to explain to me some of the drawbacks to it that I alluded to earlier.

 

[Shady Doctor]

I don't really have any questions. After you explained it I remembered exactly what it was. Basically using like a reversal of the Keigoku affects on myself, placing a trick on my mind, forcing me not to feel pain and move/act freely as if I wasnt injured.

For the drawbacks, well after the battle the Nekura will feel their built up injuries again plus an extra 25 damage points due to the strain of forcing their body past its limits.
"As many damage points as the opponent is hit with, that many damage points the user may force their mind to believe it isn't affecting their body." This means however much Keigoku damage I deal to my opponent, is how much damage I can shrug off. So if I've dealt and drained 90 damage of Keigoku, I'm basically mentally immune to my flesh wounds within that damage range.

Only question I have is: is the ability passive?

 

[Sharingdork]

What you seem to be forgetting is that this technique pushes one's body beyond our limits. Pain exists to "motivate the individual to withdraw from damaging situations, to protect a damaged body part while it heals, and to avoid similar experiences in the future"; in a sense, it's a positive thing as it allows us a signal to know we're injured and need to heal/rest. By taking away the pain we feel, our body doesn't get a rest, and we can end up further injuring body parts which should be producing pain: letting us know that moving them is a bad idea. For example, if you used the Eight Inner Gates (a lower number), you destroy your muscles, but you can still move them, though this causes extreme pain. Using The Drain, you don't feel the pain, but you continue to destroy your muscles by moving them beyond their now-passed limit.
Another drawback to The Drain is the fact that it's not actually healing, despite the fact that it feels like you're healed. For example, someone breaks your leg. You physically cannot stand on your leg - it's not just the pain, it's the fact that your bone isn't connected, and as such can't support your weight. By using The Drain, you don't feel the pain, which means when you go to stand on your leg, which feels fine, you can't and fall over - it's a memory game to remember what you physically can and cannot do, rather than having the pain there to let you know if you happen to forget. Also, if you're bleeding out, it doesn't stop the bleeding, only the pain - you can still die from blood loss (as an example).

It is passive, there is no technique for it, but you do have to state in your post that you cause the Keigoku to flow back towards yourself and touch your body to "deposit" the "negative pain" to firm up your mind and make you forget your pain.

Now, for your next post, please go over how you believe The Drain works: Your view on the mechanics behind it. Don't disappoint <.<

 

[Shady Doctor]

Well it's basically the Keigoku going and doing mental damage, and when we use the drain we "drain" (not taking the affects away from the target) that negative affect we gave them and bringing it back to us. Once it's back, it takes the damage we dealt and reverses it to more positive mental affects, blocking pain at the level we dealt.

 

[Sharingdork]

Well, essentially. The perfect mechanics are still somewhat "grey" in this area; it's essentially "we know it works, we just don't know how".

Now, I'd like you to demonstrate the usage of The Drain before we finish here.
*Without so much as a handseal, I cause the earth beneath your right foot to shoot upwards as a thin spike, piercing your foot from your sole and pointing in the direction of your toes, rather than your leg.*

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target if these are less dense. The pillars/spikes can be done in any earthen surface, including other earth techniques of the user.

Now that you're injured, use The Drain on that passing civilian to inflict pain on his body, and then draw the Keigoku inflicting the pain back to you so your foot no longer feels injured.

Sorry for the late reply. It totally had it showing I made the last post.

As the spike runs through my foot I cringe in pain, though I hold my composure and listen to what you say. Quickly removing my foot from the spike in the smoothest way possible, I step back and go down to one knee to take pressure off of my foot. The pain was cruel and I had to get rid of it. Seeing the civilian a few meters away, I open a small portal a mere millimeter away from my left eye, thus releasing a thin senbon sized blast of compressed Keigoku in the shape of a lightning bolt. The Keigoku hits the man dead in his ribs, incapacitating him on contact.

( Fōsurai ) - Force Lightning

Spoiler

Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user, by using expert chakra control, moulds their Keigoku chakra before opening the portal. Through this method, the user creates a "pressure" of chakra behind the closed portal. Then, the user will open the portal within short range of themselves suddenly, letting the foul chakra explode out into the jutsu. The sudden appearance of such pressurized chakra creates a "flash" of chakra bright enough to momentarily blind dojutsu users and sensors (only if their dojutsu/sensor techniques are active). The Keigoku then shoots forward at the target shaped like lightning, causing pain and temporary incapacitation for one turn
Note: The "sensory/dojutsu blinding" effect lasts long enough for the lightning bolt to travel to mid-range and lasts only during said turn

With the civilian knocked out and the Keigoku in his system, I retract the Keigoku back to my body, quickly absorbing it into the mark on my left hand. Using the mental pain I placed on the civilian, I reverse the affects and erase the pain surging throughout my foot and leg. The Keigoku simply controls my sense of touch to the point of fooling myself into believing the pain is non existent, thus allowing me to stand back up on my foot without hindrances.

 

[Sharingdork]

Alright, as long as you understand that the wound is going to hurt quite a bit when the effect wears off. Also, that hole in your foot is going to get infected if you keep using it... Really, it's a nice "get back to fighting" ability.

So, any further questions?

 

[Shady Doctor]

Nope no questions I can think of at the time..

See ya next time. ^^

 

[Lord of Kaos]

Alright, let's see what I remember about this clan....

As I see above, you went over the inner workings of the ability known as the Drain with Sharingdork. It's a passive ability to drain the energy from a foe after maintaining contact with them, and sending it back to the Nekura to strengthen them. Now, a major flaw in the Drain is that it only works on sentient beings, living creatures. This means it can't take chakra from a jutsu or creation.

Another thing to note before we move forward is that though we all possess the same ability to manifest Keigoku and utilize the power of the Juubi, we all have a different beast inside us. We all have some form of dark emotion or craving that has made us the monster we are inside. When controlled, we are restrained, yet safer. When set free, we become our true selves.

When the Juubi's chakra latched onto Anshoku, it led to his inner beast becoming stirred and a part of it awakened after each usage of Keigoku. Feeling this each time, Anshoku sought out a way to find contact with this beast. He failed to do this initially, the closest he came was the creation of the Drain. He left his notes in several scrolls, and these scrolls passed down into Akuma's possession. After studying them thoroughly, he created a way to make manifest those dark thoughts into a corporeal form, living and more dangerous as it is free.

The key concept behind the jutsu is that inner beast being released and through his connection to the user, can use the very ability Anshoku studied greatly. However, going deeper than the surface that Anshoku touched, Akuma found that the best way to create this effect was to use that ability, the Drain, in a way to drain not humans, but chakra based attacks. By channeling great amounts of shape manipulation to it, you allow it to take form and it takes it's own mind, aimed at only protecting you and causing as much damage as possible.

The first step to doing this is by generating four large portals around you that Keigoku streams through and then wraps around you.

o-o

*Jio listens to his clan ex leader. Lawd Akuma*

Hmm, so we will basically be taming this beast we all have in ourselves and manifesting our personal inner beast in the form of Keigoku in order for it to act as a guardian. ._.

I clear my mind, thinking of nothing but the lust Akuma and i spoke of at the beginning of my path to darkness a while back. My darkness grew purely on my lust to surpass and be better than akuma and was fueled solely on the thought of his strength and reaching it. Remembering that feeling, i open numerous portals around me which lets Keigoku engulf my immediate area.
