Re: [Genjutsu] Pekoms
I'm going to backhand you but I won't disown you. Every son has an audacious side to them. Not caring about people's customs is all fine and good. Choose not to learn or understand the way people construct their techniques and intend to use them at your own leisure. Everybody in this RP is a potential opponent and caring enough about an opponent's technique to simply understand how it works, how it's intended to be used, and how it could potentially affect you in a fight is nothing less than common sense. Being an RP mod makes it harder to ignore the nature of customs. Simply because you aren't one doesn't really excuse you considering you've been around enough of our conversations to understand.
Nothing short of god-modding? Tell me how it's any different than somebody using any other jutsu of any rank and another combating against it with something of equivalent or greater rank yet "In game" they shouldn't know the level of their opponent's technique. Your words are applicable to any and all technique usage in our RP. Canon techniques and learned customs people can claim "well I've learned this thus I know the effects and it's rank and can counter accordingly" and avoid it such and such a way. However for techniques unknown to others it's the same situation you're claiming is a fault in this method. Our entire system possesses this flaw and to point it out specifically in the case of genjutsu is fallacious.
What exactly is the point of mentioning the ocular powers or sensory perception of your opponents in this regard? How is the situation different for any other method of genjutsu release? Dojutsu users, chakra sensors, if they can see/sense your chakra they can see whenever you release their illusion and thus react accordingly. Kai, external infusion, surge, even pain, anything that causes fluctuation in the chakra is observable with such abilities unless said abilities are blinded. Once again, applicable to all situations of genjutsu. The point was not to say that this method didn't possess that flaw, merely that it is something that exists for you to use if you are capable and wish to experiment with it or are even forced to use such a method over another.
Tell me where you received the idea that only two genjutsu can be placed on somebody at any given time. You can place as many illusions on top of another as you can get away with so long as they follow the layering rules. The only authority I'd even consider saying otherwise would be from Scorps. The number generally is two since people will first and foremost try to break genjutsu the moment it's cast on them, however in the rules outline there is nothing explicitly stating 2 is the maximum number of genjutsu that can be placed on somebody. Also as you say you don't see this as being used by anybody but genjutsu specialists and masters. I train people with the intent of making them specialists or masters, at the very least to have the competency of one when it comes to using, combating, and creating their own techniques.
Yes I am pointing to the latter half and it's something to pay attention to the actual technique as it was used in the canon material. The technique says "dissolves into a mist" ordinarily you could get away with your justification if you didn't have a reference point to go on. Both manga and anime we see just exactly HOW kurenai used the technique and how she dissolves. It's hardly something you can equivocate to Hozuki members turning their bodies into mist or even people turning into a physical manifestation of mist. Her entire physical being disappeared unlike in any of the examples you gave to try and justify. You'd have been better regarding customs where similar occurrence of kurenai's and this techniques specific type of disappearance occur. Most of those sort of techniques come with the "can only be seen by dojutsu" clause which means at any level of dojutsu you are able to see this technique. In this genjutsu, 1t, 2t, and Byagugan don't possess the inherit ability to still see the physical chakra of the person once they disappear. 3t and above have absolutely no problem peering through this technique and you can't even use visual gen on Rinnegan users anymore. Point is, the part of the description I referred to is a much simpler and a more plausible means of adequately deducing this technique than what you proposed.
That being said, the next part I was suggesting that, if your opponent couldn't see you to begin with in order to see your body disappear the technique can be initiated easier and without that flaw in place. This is a juggling matter with me since the technique describes seeing the user disappear but that's also under the assumption the genjutsu is being cast while the user is in plain sight. If the user isn't in sight could that first part of the genjutsu be erased completely and it just skip to the creation of the tree behind the user? I'm saying yes but that's up for interpretation and discussion (but it's not that serious).
Anything else?
