Nindo

Having the Art is a Blast! Nindo means you understand self expression and eccentricism go hand in hand. You tend to be seen as quirky and even weird to others as you dive deep into the unorthodox. Having this Nindo means you are capable of defending against techniques that use chakra vs chakra or use damage vs damage to determine their damage in the manner you choose, picking which of the two interactions to fit your need.

History

Born as Alexander J. Mercer, Mercer experienced a brutal childhood spent in abject poverty; his first nine years were spent in foster care. When he turned 10, he was finally returned to his mother, who had spent the last nine years in prison, but for Mercer, it was better to be in foster care. He was the only parental figure for his sister, Dana. As kids, he and Dana would play together and watch scary movies. It is presumed that Alex's father died shortly after he was born. It can also be assumed that Alex took a great interest in fighting and martial arts, due to the combat technique he is able to perform using his own blood. Due to the harshness of his early life, Alex is full of rage and a proven fighter even before becoming the subject of an experiment.

However, his intellect and aptitude in science provided him an opportunity to leave behind his troubled past. He trusted no one, had no friends, couldn't care less about what others thought of him, and found solace only in his work. By the time he was hired by Gentek, Mercer was a borderline sociopath. He knew this, and didn't care. After earning an apprenticeship at a precious company, Mercer was hired by Gentek and became the head of the Blacklight project at Gentek, one of trying to use science to enhance ninjutsu. Alex's team was tasked with engineering weaponized elements to try and create unique kekkei genkais through science, at the time he didn't know the danger of the Scarlet Rot. Mercer’s skill in altering genes made him a valuable asset to Gentek; his work was years ahead of his nearest competitor.

Despite his successes, Alex Mercer was considered a potential liability by Blackwatch, an elite ninja group created to combat exotic threats. Over time, Gentek became scrutinized by other clans and investigations were proposed. Fearing an information of new powers, Blackwatch decided to cover it all up. Mercer, due to his paranoid nature, began to launch his own secret investigation on Gentek. With the assistance of an investigative reporter, Mercer realized that Gentek employees associated with the Blacklight project were being silenced by Blackwatch; usually with a kunai between the eyes in a dark alley. When he learned that a general purge was about to be unleashed upon the Gentek scientists, Mercer fled, fearing for his life. In the event he was caught, Mercer had brought insurance, he'd taken his research on transplanting with him. But Blackwatch was too quick for him. While attempting to escape the village, Mercer was cornered in Penn Station by Blackwatch agents. In a fit of frustration and rage, he lashed out at them, striking them all down in cold blood, one after another, taking many wounds in the process. He cut down the last agent before collapsing from blood loss.

He woke up, in a place he didn't know, he still hurt, but his wounds had been treated. He was in some form of lab, he sat up looking around him for who ever had brought him here but no one was there. He slowly got up in pain from the wounds he'd suffered and looked over on a table in the distance, to find all his notes. Placing his hand on the table moving the papers aside, he was in shock.....

Other Information

Specialities

You must be registered for see images

Apex Handseal Specialist: You can perform techniques of the skill you chose to specialize in without the usage of handseals, though you must still perform complimentary and logical body movements related to the technique. This applies even if said jutsu does not have specific movements detailed in its description. (Blood Release)

Sustainment: You can materialize your element or skill you specialize in without needing a source. This applies towards various Elemental Jutsu where logical such as Water or Earth based substances and Fields that require a source to first be present and not created such as Advanced Ninjutsu ( Rain, Sound, Ink, etc ).

Apex Tracking Specialist: Your tracking capabilities become more advanced, allowing you to have x2.5 tracking speeds. This allows him to physically track faster movement without chakra sensory.

Mind’s Keen Eye: Genjutsu of any type, other than MS-level or those cast by Kunino, appear 'flawed.' This means that regardless of the caster's expertise or perfection, there will be some kind of tell within the illusion that is very obvious; such as a visual illusion appearing like static on a television, a smell being off, or a sound not making sense.

Chakra fortification: The user can add an additional effective 10 Chakra or Siris to an element or skill they specialize in, though not at any increased cost or strain to the user. This simply allows their techniques to have 10 more chakra infused into them. (Scarlet Rot)

Yang Specialist: Users will gain heightened vitality translating to 1000 chakra increase to their natural reserves. As well, they are immune to recoil damage from techniques that cause it like Forbidden, though they still succumb to the jutsu's other subscribed affects.

Weapons / Technology

( Teoimeteoroi ) - Theoi Meteoroi
Type: Tool
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A ( 10-40 chakra per use )
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a unique generator fitted to the users chest the size of a small golf ball. From this, several wires are wrapped around the users body, two going over his shoulders joining at his back, one down each of his arms and one down each of they legs, attached to their body. This generator was specifically designed as a method to draw in, absorb, and store lightning to use it as a source for a later use. In a similar method to the absorption arm, but on a weaker scale, the user will activate the device in an instant as a lightning technique is released towards them. As it is, this lightning will be drawn into the wires and channelled through into the generator on the users chest that will glow blue. This generator has a maximum capacity of storing S rank lightning or jutsu that equilateral to S rank lightning (A rank + A rank). Once stored the user can then activate the generator, releasing the lightning from it, releasing the lightning through the wires with his chakra control to use it as his own weapon now. It can be channelled around their entire body through the wires for a quick defence or to a specific point like one of their legs, to be released with a kick or stomp, or even be released to add to another jutsu such as a water jutsu. To release the lightning it will cost 10 chakra points and count as one of the users 3 moves per turn, releasing the power that had previously been absorbed which can be done in the same timeframe as another technique. This can be done in the same timeframe as being absorbed, where the lightning passes through the generator being redistributed.

Note: Can only absorb once per turn, storing up to a maximum of S rank power. It costs a move per turn to absorb a technique using the same amount of chakra to absorb as the jutsu it's absorbing.
Note: Releasing the lightning costs of the users 3 moves per turn and holds the same power that had previously been absorbed.
Note: If the generator is damaged, it will release the lightning in an uncontrolled burst around it, shocking all within short range, equal to the rank of the lightning that had been previously absorbed.

(Boreas )
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30 chakra per use
Damage: 60
Description: This technology is a special pair of gauntlets that were designed to work with Theoi Meteoroi. They can be connected to Theoi Meteoroi through the wires that are spread over the users body. They are made of a material that grows or shrinks should the users body change shape or side, like Akimichi style techniques for example. At the centre of the gloves, around the users palm is a small generator that's light blue in colour. These can be used as a medium to draw in lightning really for the abilities of Theoi Meteoroi, drawing the lightning in through the gloves and channelling it through the wires into the generator simply being used as a medium. These gloves have their own unique trait. Through either chakra being released into them or by using the energy stored within Theoi Meteoroi from a previous use, or chakra absorbed through the Absorption arm, the user can release a burst or stream of energy form their gloves, in the form of a pushing force. This pushing force is created by the centre of the generator rotating at rapid speeds pushing outwards and the user directing it, much like the leaf dragon god technique, instead of the user having to spin to create the momentum, the workings of the technology does it for them. This can can released in mid scale linear blasts that reach up to mid range, playing on equal terms with elements. The other method of this is the user can release it as a sustained focussed stream of pushing force that they can maintain, acting like a mini wind turbine within the gloves. These abilities can be released in one of two ways. Firstly through using chakra absorbed into Theoi Meteoroi, the user can then use that to fuel the power of the gloves to save their own chakra, but only being able to release blasts or streams up to to amount of chakra they had absorbed. This can be done within the same time frame as the lightning being absorbed as its instantly channelled through the technology to create the blast. The second use is through the users chakra to power the gloves, create the rotation within the centre piece and release the wave. If this technology is powered by chakra absorbed through the Absorption Arm or the Theoi Meteoroi technology, it can be used along side other jutsu as it wont require the users chakra.

Note: One linear blast can be released per turn, counts as one of the users three moves per turn. If the user uses his chakra to fuel this, it will have the equate to the rank used (30 chakra for A rank etc).
Note: The streams can only be made up to A rank, lasting up to two turns, being used once per turn.

( Abusōbu Ude ) - Absorption Arm
Type: Tool
Rank: S
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A ( 40 chakra per use )
Damage: N/A
Description: A cyborg attachment to the user's body, the user has a robotic limb that allows for him to create spheres of energy that are capable of absorbing chakra up to S rank level. These spheres are capable of dealing brute force on impact as well, growing to large heights, up to 4 meters in radius. Starting at roughly rasengan size, these spheres grow proportionally to the size of the technique absorbed. Normal Ninja are able to make use of one of these devices via specialized gloves that allow them to absorb 1 Ninjutsu per turn up to S rank while Cyborgs have these attachments and are able to absorb up to Forbidden powered attacks and 1 from each arm per turn.
Note: Can be used a max of 3 times for Ninja and 6 for Cyborgs.
Note: Cyborg can have up to 2 Absorption Arms.

( Mikagami Dorōn ) - Mirror Drone
Type: Tool
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 Initial Cost (-10 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: This Scientific Ninja Tool is a disk-shaped drone that can be controlled remotely with chakra to fly and attack. The user can have up to four drones which he can use to fire Jutsu Bullets from that are strong enough to render a target unconscious and move at comparable speed to Lightning jutsu. These drones are able to be used up to long range, or one landmark adjacent to the user's location.
Note: User can only have 2 max. Cyborg bios can have up to 4, either counting as 1 slot.
Note: Once deployed, Mirror Drones last up to 8 turns before their battery dies, requiring a break of the same amount of time before they can be used. Cyborg bios have double the using time for half the charging time ( only 4 turns to recharge battery).
