Description: A mantis fist technique which involves the administration of lightning charka into an enemy's body so as to stimulate a false signal for pain. Psychically, when used in a fight, this technique exhibits the styles usual attack methods; with the user delivering one, if not several swift finger jab blows to a target and discharging chakra upon impact. These blows, as is characteristic of the Mantis Fist, boast the strange and somewhat contradicting, fluid, rigid, and somewhat stiff quality common of the style; with this particular employment emphasising on speed and therefore using sharp, somewhat spear-like arm movements with little to no arm-drawback or windup so as to transition from neutral into extended states in mere moments, and then back again. As aforementioned the released lightning chakra forces false signals so as to induce pain onto an opponent, pain that can range from anything between mild to traumatising and incapacitating. However, it is generally the duration and area of contact that the user has had that determines the pain felt by the recipient, the longer or more numerous the case of exposure, the more severe effects will be. The targeted area is also of great consideration as striking vitals, pressure points, or even wounds can also increase severity - thus the focus of this technique on physical speed so that the user can best target areas of interest as quickly and effectively as possible. Needless to say the chakra based applications of this technique can also be administered discreetly, for instance, during a greeting should the user gain fingertip based contact with an enemy then this technique can be used discretely.
Note:
Can only be used 3x
Can only be used once every two turns.
A maximum of four strikes can be delivered per use.
Against enemies of equal or higher rank the pain felt for each momentary contact will be around that of a hairline fracture - producing sharp pangs of pain in an area around the contact site that’s no larger than a ping pong ball. (Doubled if sensitive spots such as the plexus, temple, and other spots with significant nerve bundles). That of a breakage with sharper pangs in a tennis ball size area for those a rank lower, and even more severe pain spread across an area exceeding that of a size 5 football for two ranks or lower. In the case of significantly prolonged contact, the pain is only limited by the users intentions. (Basically if the user manages to remain in contact to continuously sustain this technique for an entire turn or more, at the expense of -30 chakra per turn.)
- In battle, the user can generally only apply momentary contact to an opponent; with extended applications generally being utilised for out of battle (RP) torture based purposes and thus utilised to its full extent at the users discretion. However in battle, should the user manage to main contact for an entire turn or more an enemy will be left at their mercy - in too much pain to properly mold chakra and ultimately left incapacitated by pain.
Physical damage is generally minor, at most inflicting bruises on well toned parts of the body or on an odd occasion fractures on weaker, minor bones. However striking a vital or soft spot could potentially cause dire or even fatal injury. (Eyes and so on, throat, so on.)
- The user can of course experiment with the type of pain expericed (Sharp, dull, throbbing, burning, etc)
Basically you touch someone and they experience pain, of any kind, of any type, of any intensity. Factors that determine how far you can go with the technique is the vulnerability of the areas struck and the duration of contact, i.e striking the solar plexus could produce more acute effects because there's a bundle of nerves there. Plus, extended contact basically puts an enemy at your complete mercy (they won't even be able to mold chakra), so sustaining this technique on an enemy in battle for an entire turn...is basically GG, fights over, you win, they can't do jack about it. Ofc that's not really an easy feat, but I'll be trying to make it easier with the production of more MF techniques.
Any questions?
And yes, I do realise that the Notes are longer than the technique itself...
