Hi, hello. Uhm yeah so this is the current contract as it stands right now. I'll post the updated versions once they're approved. As for the armor, I'll have to repost the armor coz idk where it currently stands. It was revoked but after talking on discord we came to the conclusion that it was ok I think.

Anyways, uhm just give me a brief explanation of the contract and each summon and poof you're signed.

Summoning Animal: Cardinals
Scroll Owner: El Alucard
Other Users who have signed contract: Shady Nurse
Summoning Boss if existing:
Aphrodite
Other Summoning Animals tied to contract: Keleano, Mother Earth, and Kurt Travis
Description and Background: The Cardinals are passerine birds that live on an island hidden away from humanity normally only accessible to them and those whom they allow. They have sharp claws and extremely hard beaks. The cardinals have a royal family leading them which is headed by Aphrodite. People that have signed the cardinal contract are able to communicate telepathically with their summons no matter where they are or how far they are. Finally it is very common that cardinals of royal lineage are born with an affinity to multiple natures, it is important to note that they cannot use said natures simultaneously.

Cardinal Arts (Ability 1): All cardinals gain +20 damage to all cardinal based jutsu within their arsenal.

Nest Adaptability (Basic ability 2): Cardinals were originally migratory birds, in order to find the required weather and environmental conditions for their nests and reproduction. As such, when a Cardinal is in weather conditions related to their affinity become stronger, they gain an additional +20 damage to all jutsu they can perform as well as a becoming resistant to damage from jutsu of their affinitial element up to B-rank.


(Kuchiyose: Koigokoro Megami, Aphrodite) - Summoning: Love Goddess, Aphrodite
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 40
Attack Points: N/A
Description: The user uses his summoning tattoo to summon the Love Goddess of Cardinals, Aphrodite. The Love Goddess possesses an almost regal air about her, though it may mostly be the self-righteous egotistical behavior she possesses. Strange as it seems, she prefers to walk rather than fly, unless she deems it necessary to do so. When entering a battle, a whirl of flame envelopes the cardinal, altering her drastically in almost an instant. What emerges is a vastly changed creature, the frame of a red predatory bird now larger than most men. Lightly plated armor sits strategically placed upon her body, glimmering as it shields wing, head, chest and legs from immediate dangers. Aphrodite’s legs are no longer the feeble limbs they once were, noticeably more muscular and every bit as strong as their appearance suggests. As the transformation is completed, she opens her wings thus causing the flame that begat this transformation to burst forward as a wave of B-Rank flames, leaving its mark not only on her feathers by making the bird’s wings light up with a flickering blaze, but also on the field burning anything in front of it up to mid-range. She is the same size as Gamabunta, with an enormous wing span of 18 meters. Although commonly known as The Love Goddess, she has also earned the title of Mistress of Ninjutsu for being the first Cardinal to obtain dual elemental affinities. Her affinities are to fire and wind, which she can perform up to A-Rank. She is proud, flirty, and unable to cope with most summoner’s unless they somehow prove themselves to her. These are the greatest flaws Aphrodite has, not that she sees them in such a way. Once she determines a course of action, she often follows through without considering it any further. Thankfully, even as brash as it may seem, she very often prepares before acting in the case of any sort of emergency that may result from a miscalculation. So in spite of her abrasive self-assureds she does have the forethought to consider these things beforehand. If only she weren’t such a self-important smart ass, then her company would be more tolerable.

Note: Can be Only Summoned Once.
Note: The Armor takes 3 B-Rank hits and breaks.
Note: Must sign Cardinal Contract to use.
Note: Only one element may be used in a move.
Note: Lasts for four turns


(Kuchiyose: Arashi no Onna Keleano) - Summoning: Keleano Lady of the Storm
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Keleano is the Love Goddess Aphrodite's very fierce younger sister. She was born in a brutal storm in the valley of the cardinals and this was prophesied to be a great sign of things to come. Due to having been born and raised in those conditions, she became so accustomed to that environment, and as such gained dual affinity for lightning and water, which she can perform up to A-rank. Similar to the way her sister enters battle, Keleano is enveloped by a vortex of water also altering her looks. She emerges as a large blue bird, although not as large as her sister. She is about 3/4 the size of Gamabunta, has a wingspan of 15 meters and can fit two riders on her back. As her transformation is complete the water vortex shoots forward a powerful stream of water, equivalent to that of a B-rank technique which leaves behind a watery residue on her wings which she can use her own water source. Having grown up in the stormy valley of the cardinals, she has flown in that weather many a time and has had to learn how to balance and move very fast in order to be able to evade from any type of danger, this including lightning. As such she is very agile and can fly and move faster than the average summon. She believes her fierce attitude represents her affinity. The only flaw she has is she can be quite naïve sometimes, willing to fight any opponent even though they are stronger than her. She is very trustworthy and also trusts her summoner and despite being young, she is a very good fighter and very helpful as well.

Note: Can be Only Summoned Once.
Note: Must sign cardinal contract to use.
Note: Can only be taught by El Alucard.
Note: Lasts for four turns


(Kuchiyose: Hahanarudaichi) - Summoning: Mother Earth
Type: Summoning
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Mother Earth is Father Time's wife and is equally as old. Having to have the trickery of a woman to stand up against the wisdom of her husband, she of course learned and studied Genjutsu for many many years. Thus she is able to use any genjutsu the user knows up to A rank. Mother Earth also has a telepathic connection with her summoner and any cardinal on the field. She is a brown cardinal as small as the Ma toad and sits on her summoners shoulder, channeling chakra into her feet so that she does not fall of even when the user moves at high speeds, the chakra is just to her feet and will not break the user out of a genjutsu. Mother Earth is able to trigger these genjutsus by releasing a high pitched call.
-Stays on the field for 4 turns and can only be summoned once


(Kuchiyose: Kurt Travis) - Summoning: Kurt Travis
Type: Summoning
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra:40
Damage: N/A (+10 to Taijutsu)
Description:
Kurt is the greatest taijutsu master in all of the land of cardinals and has undergone extensive training with the user in his own taijutsu training. Due to this, Kurt is perfectly in synch with all of the user's body movements and is able to move and think in conjunction with the user's tai. When the user attempts to land a blow on an object Kurt will surround the user's limbs with a precise burst of chakra, strengthening the power of the blow. As Kurt is simply channeling chakra to strengthen the user's blows, this act is passive. In order to summon Kurt, the user must only simply clap his hands and Kurt will be summoned to his shoulder. Kurt stays on the user's shoulder by focusing chakra in his feet, similar to how Ma and Pa stay on their user's shoulder
-Can be summoned once per battle.
-Stays on the field for four turns.

Okay, awesome. So basically, from what I am reading, cardinals obviously can fly and like most summons, can telepathically communicate with their summoner. That being said, they have pretty aggressive bonuses. One being from what their true affinity is, and the next depending on whether or not they are in the weather that coincides with their affinity (are these stackable?). That is the base of what they may do. Now to break down each one.

Aphrodite, the queen of the cardinals, is able to be summoned normally, but once entering battle, envelopes in flames in which she would now have about regal armor plating her "strategically", as you put it. I like that. She follows this up by the flames bursting forward in B-rank fashion. This goes up to mid range and also aesthetically lights her feathers on fire (as far as I am aware) but obviously not harming her. Her two affinities, which are wind and fire, she can perform up to A rank, which is pretty solid considering the boost(s). Other than that, she is described as egotistical and stern, having her summoner prove they deserve to battle at her side. However, this doesn't get in the way of her battle intelligence. Love it.

Keleano: Oh lord... Aphrodite's younger sister... I wonder. Anyway. Similar attributes as her sister but a water/lighting affinity, able to specifically fit two riders on her back, and slightly smaller than her older sister. The stream she shoots is B rank as opposed to her sister's A rank as well as water as opposed to her sister's fire. This water leaves her wings wet, creating a water source for her to perform water-based techniques. Besides that, she is arrogant, thinking she can take on any summon. Even those clearly more powerful than her, but will stick by her summoner and is still very battle-hardened herself.

Mother Earth! A small, old bird who sits on the summoner's shoulder. She has a husband who is equally as small and old. Her gig is genjutsu in which she can perform any genjutsu the user knows up to A-rank. This is perform through a bird call of sorts. A simple summon but effective.

Kurt Travis. A taijutsu master and small enough to sit on the summoner's shoulder, much like Mother Earth, Kurt's main gig is to boost the user's taijutsu by +10. This is done by him channeling his own chakra into the user and enhancing their physical blows via his chakra. Again, simple but effective!

This is my breakdown of the contract as well as all of the current summons.

One being from what their true affinity is, and the next depending on whether or not they are in the weather that coincides with their affinity (are these stackable?).

So, the first one is just all custom cardinal contract jutsu gain +20 (which there aren’t any as of right now but this ability is subject to change anyways so don’t even mind it to be honest)

Second one is , should they be in favourable environmental conditions, all usable jutsu by them will gain +20

Eg. Aphrodite in her favourable conditions will passively have a +20 boost to all techniques that she can use… should she use a cardinal contract technique whilst in this state that would be +40 to that tech (+20 from it being a cardinal technique and +20 from her environmental boost).

If she’s not in favourable conditions or if she’s in regular environmental conditions, the passive environmental boost ability doesn’t activate… so all her techs keep the same damage as in their jutsu description… she’d still get a +20 boost if she uses cardinal contract techniques (from the first ability) but all other techs remain the same.

Also just remember although cardinals can use multiple elements, they cannot use them at the same time (Aphrodite can’t use fire and wind in the same move)

hopefully that answers your question? If there’s nothing else , then you’re set.
