Practitioners synchronize their spiritual energy with their blood, using their own life force as a contagious weapon. It is an intimate and gruesome style, forcing the user to embrace their own physical drain as a source of power. [B]Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:[/B] The central power of the Blood-Born Blade is the infusion of the user's blood to coat and enhance their weapons, known as [B]Sanguine Seeding[/B]. The technique begins with [B]Blood Weapon Manifestation[/B]: The user passively and instantly creates the twin daggers from their own Cursed Blood (blood infused with a debilitating curse) at will, extending the solidified, weaponized blood from their hand or forearm. The user can also passively infuse their two existing daggers in the same way. The form and presence of the blades are maintained by a constant, controlled flow of the user at a cost of 5 chakra per turn. This self-renewing, viscous coating of blood gives the blades a dark, shimmering aura. This blood is charged with the [B]Curse of Atrophy[/B], a powerful debuff that causes [B]rapid degeneration of physical vitality[/B]. Any contact, even the smallest scratch, deposits a concentrated dose of this curse into the target's energy systems, making the blades highly effective at swift contamination. A critical component of the style is the precise control of internal energy. To compensate for the light weight and small reach of the blood daggers, the user utilizes [B]Yang Augmentation[/B]. This involves focusing Yang Chakra to trigger a controlled, hyper-acceleration of the user's cardiovascular system. The result is a controlled internal surge where the blood in the user's body pumps faster, efficiently feeding a massive influx of oxygen and energy from yang to their muscles. This provides sudden, explosive enhancement to the user's [B]speed[/B] (allowing for blindingly fast movements and attacks) or [B]strength[/B] (to drive the finesse blades deep despite minimal leverage), perfectly complementing the daggers' need for quick, precise, and impactful strikes. In combat, the style is defined by fluid motions, low stances, and quick shifts to stay close to the target. The manifested daggers work together: one is used for [B]Shallow Strikes[/B] (to quickly [B]Seed[/B] the curse and spread the degeneration), while the other is reserved for [B]Deep Stabs[/B] (to [B]Exploit[/B] the areas already compromised by the decay). Every strike, every manifestation, and every speed boost is a controlled expense of the user's vitality, exchanged for the target's immediate decline. [B]Curse of Atrophy Effect:[/B] Any damage dealt by this style injects the Curse of Atrophy, rapidly draining the victim's physical vitality. The degradation worsens with multiple applications, causing the opponent to experience an escalating sense of fatigue and physical strain (Maximum 4 Stacks): [LIST] [*][B]First Application:[/B] Base tracking speed reduced by 1/4. [*][B]Second Application:[/B] Base movement speed is reduced by 1/4. [*][B]Third Application:[/B] 10% of the target's chakra is burned away. [*][B]Fourth Application:[/B] . [/LIST] [B]Curse Removal:[/B] The curse dissipates naturally over time (e.g., after 2 turns without contact), or can be removed instantly through Medical Ninjutsu or through a surge of yang chakra higher than the attack that caused the effect. [B]Example Techniques: Mutilate[/B] Rank: A Type: Attack Range: Short Chakra Cost: 30 Damage Points: 60 Description: A frenzied, non-stop assault where both blood daggers lash out in a blur. The user simultaneously pumps Yang Chakra to hyper-accelerate their movements, allowing them to deliver up to ten shallow, overlapping strikes across the enemy's torso and limbs in less than a second. This technique is designed not for deep cuts, but to overwhelm defenses and maximize the surface area for the Rot Curse to take hold and stack its corrosive effect. It's a quick, guaranteed method of curse application. Due to the infusing of yang, this technique is performed at 3x the user's speed. [HR][/HR] [B]Vital Stab (or Heart Piercer)[/B] Rank: A Type: Attack Range: Short Chakra Cost: 30 Damage Points: 80 Description: A highly precise, single-point thrust targeting a vital organ or a known weak point in the opponent's armor or structure. The user initiates a powerful, focused Yang Chakra surge that momentarily supercharges their arm muscles and cardiovascular flow, ensuring the manifested blood blade penetrates with devastating force. This attack sacrifices speed and curse spread for maximum destructive output on a single, critical area. [HR][/HR] [B]Ruler's Authority (Blade Manipulation)[/B] Rank: A Type: Supplementary/Attack Range: Mid (Up to 10 meters) Chakra Cost: 40 Damage Points: 50 (if blades strike) Description: The user mentally commands the manifested blood daggers (or launches the physical ones) and controls their trajectory using spiritual energy. This allows for flanking strikes or attacking targets outside of standard melee range. The blades execute a lightning-fast, spinning trajectory before instantly returning to the user’s grasp, maintaining the Rot Curse on their surface even when separated from the user. [HR][/HR] [B]Shadow Step Ambush[/B] Rank: A Type: Supplementary/Attack Range: Short (Movement up to 5 meters) Chakra Cost: 45 Damage Points: 70 Description: A lethal blend of movement and attack. The user utilizes a controlled, rapid spike of Yang Chakra to initiate an instantaneous, short-distance displacement, effectively vanishing and reappearing within five meters. This blink is immediately followed by a silent, precise dagger strike aimed at an exposed, vulnerable area (e.g., the neck, kidneys, or back of the knee) before the opponent can react. The high cost reflects the momentary spatial warping and speed required. [B]Additional effects and Restrictions:[/B] - Must have Blood eyes, Scarlet Rot and Yang mastered to use this style. - Should one choose to specialise in this style, due to their true control over the blood within them, their blood techniques will gain a passive +1 rank (20 damage).
