[SC] Slitherin' Serpents

[21 Savage]

Its time I met with the greatest magician in the RP :scorps:

 

[Houdinii]

I prefer escape artist U_U

Anyways tell me all that you know about snakes. No copy/pasting please, just a general overview of their most common traits and abilities and anything that you think is relevant.

 

[21 Savage]

Huh-uh!
Snakes are one of the two most popular cannon contract in the series and on NB. They have been portrayed to be summoned by mostly antagonists in the series like Orochimaru, Sasuke, Kabuto. The Snake Summons include boss summon Manda, Aoda, the three headed snakes etc.
Both in RL and the RP, Snakes are cold blooded animals capable of sensing through minute vibrations with their skin both on the ground and faint ones in the air. They have a keen sense of smell which they utilize via the use of their forked tongues to taste the air and send info to the necessary organs for compilation. Its like a blend between smell and taste. Their vision is quite good though not very acute but it's enough for them to detect light from dark. With the use of their infrared sensitivity, they're able to "see" the radiated heat of warm blooded animals.
They are poisonous and venomous which is utilizable in the RP but I think you need med knowledge for it.
Then there's Snake Sage Mode... #goal

Good, good. Now lets get to the signing of the contract.

Pitou pulls out a large scroll and rolls it out along the ground, it contains a large list of names with several more spots left blank.

Find an empty spot and sign there, then we can begin with the actual summons and techniques.

 

[21 Savage]

Baan felt fazed by the large scroll when Pitou rolled it out. "Names...so many names..."
He pricks his thumb with his incisor tooth allowing blood to gush out softly. With the blood, he signs his name on an Empty space after which he licks the remaining blood off and sucks the thumb.

Ok now we can have you try to actually summon a snake, I'll take you through the steps now in case you don't know them. Pitou then begins to demonstrate the summoning technique while narrating her actions.

First you want to draw some blood, usually this is done from the thumb but it can be done from anywhere really. Then you form the needed string of 5 hand seals, though this can be shortened with a summoning tattoo since this is the snake contract. You then focus your chakra into your hand and slam it down upon the ground, you don't actually need a surface to summon something it can be done in mid air as well.

Slamming her hand upon the ground, a poof of smoke briefly engulfs Pitou before her personal summon is revealed to have been summoned laid out across her neck and shoulders.

Don't look too closely at Alastair here, concentrate on trying to summon a basic snake. Give it a go.

Spoiler

(Hebi Kuchiyose: Kuakki)- Snake Summoning: Alastair
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A(30 from gen)
Description:
To begin the user will draw blood from their hand and wipe it across their summoning tattoo as their slam their hand downwards, summoning Alastair a 3m long anaconda with white eyes and a unique pattern across its scales. The snake can use its strength and sharp teeth to physically attack the opponent, crushing or biting them but Alastair’s stand out trait lies within genjutsu.

While in the opponent's field of view the serpent uses its unique scale pattern as a medium to effect the opponent with a weak C rank illusion, the genjutsu is simple in nature giving the opponent the sensation of a snake bite. The opponent would experience sudden sharp pain in an area chosen by the snake, designed to hinder and distract them as they wince from the pain. The genjutsu would make it seem as if the bite was real, producing an illusionary wound and bleeding at the site. The snake can use this genjutsu once per turn while it remains on the field.

Note:
~Can only be summoned twice
~Alastair lasts on the field for 3 turns
~Must have signed the Snake contract
~Can only be taught by xHoudinii

 

[21 Savage]

From the previous puncture on his thumb, Baan squeezes the finger and blood is released momentarily. He then begins by picturing a medium sized snake in his mind taking note of important features of the cold blooded serpent. Then by slamming his hand on the ground after making 5 hand seals, a poof of smoke bursts upwards covering Baan completely. As the smoke clears, a snake is revealed. It has no special properties just normal--like a normal snake would be.

A small and rather unimpressive baby snake is revealed, wiggling in the dirt.

Try pushing more chakra into the technique, and the clearer the picture of the snake in your mind the more successful you will be. Try to imagine its scale pattern and overall size. Give it another shot.

 

[21 Savage]

"Weak.."
Baan stomps the little serpent he had summoned.
Wiping his blood once again on his tattoo, he pictures a giant snake almost 10 meters long with a width of roughly 4m. He added a bit of his artistic skill by inserting some slivery run-over scale to accompany the snake. Baan slams his hands on a the ground and a poof of smoke emerges, he was unsure of what to expect...

The snake that ban imagined emerges from the smoke, over 10m it regards him with quiet eyes before it poofs away back to the Ryuchi Cave.

Good, now that you have the basic summoning down we can attempt to bring forth the snake warriors. Use more chakra this time and attempt to summon a generic snake although much larger, over 50m long.

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description:
The user will summon a generic Giant Snake whose size can vary from a 10 meter long snake to ones the size of a boss summon, rivaling 100 meters long. These snakes vary in appearance and size and serve only as basic warriors, having only the normal characteristics of snakes. Although they are quite simple snakes, they are very enduring and resistant and, when big enough (about 50 meters long) they can take up to B-Rank damage.
Note: requires snake contract.
Note: can only be summoned once

 

[21 Savage]

"Nice"
Once again, Baan wipes his blood over the tattoo while imagining another snake much longer and wider than the previous one spanning up to 50m in length and over 7m wide rivaling the size of an adult basilisk. Baan imagines this beast to be pure black in hue and have miniature horns to complement its monstrous appearance. By slamming his hand on the ground, a poof of smoke emerges again and....

A giant snake black snake emerges from the large cloud of smoke produced. It is 60m long and looks fiercely strong, it regards Baan with a weird look in its eye however. As it then coils around him gently and seems to almost caress its body up against him. With a slightly alarmed look on her face Pitou quickly strides over to the snake and bonks it on the head with her fist, putting some force and chakra into the blow to make it poof away back to the Ryuchi cave.

Yea...be careful you don't get horns and horny mixed up when you summon or you're going to have a bad time. Or a good time if you're into that I suppose.

Pitou strides away a couple steps to recompose herself before spinning back around.

Moving on, the next snake is around the size of a normal anaconda however it has two heads. It can move quite fast and its two heads give it some additional options when attacking. There is even a ninjutsu tied to this snake that we shall learn later on. Try to summon it, no horns this time.

Note: Requires signing of the Snake Contract

[21 Savage]

Baan feels a bit relieved over the success of the summoning and this geared him up to put more effort into other summons like he had done with the first one. This time Baan would begin by picturing a large anaconda that had lived for roughly 3 and a half years? Slightly brown in colour with a sliver lining across its belly part and black spots scattered on the brown foundation. One more thing was the latter addition of another head which gives Baan's creation an alter look, more fierce and cruel to the eyes. Having gotten his picture, he wipes blood over his tattoo once again and slams his hand on the ground from which a poof of smoke emanates and the summon appears.....

The small brown anaconda appears, it regards its summoner with both heads for a moment before it poofs back to the cave from which it came.

Good, you're getting the hang of calling the snakes to you. Lets move on to the next one.

Pitou would walk a few steps and sit on a rock as she faces her student, she was feeling quite tired today. With a yawn she continues her instructions.

The next snake is a large warrior, rivaling Manda in pure size and mass. He also has three heads which could allow him to take on multiple opponents at once.

Description:
The user will summon a generic, 70 meter long Three Headed Giant Snake. These snakes vary in appearance and size and serve only as basic warriors, having only the normal characteristics of snakes. Although they are quite simple snakes, they are very enduring and resistant and they can take up to B-Rank damage.
Note: requires snake contract.

[21 Savage]

Baan closes his eyes to reach into his mind and picture another snake. This one would be of a dark hue with no spots, attaining a length of roughly 70m and a corresponding width to maintain its mass. This snake would have three heads and a pair or horns on each head totalling a number of 6 horns. Wiping blood over my tattoo, I slam my hands on the ground and the summoning seal appears and from within, the warrior emerges from the poof of smoke.

 

[Houdinii]

Good job, now onto the final and most difficult summon.

Pitou jumps back several meters to give her student more room to work, perhaps indicating that this may be more treacherous than the earlier summons.

Manda is the boss of all snakes, he is the largest and strongest of them and is quite useful in battle. However he is also quite headstrong and difficult to control, so a weak willed individual cannot hope to control him. Use a huge amount of chakra and try to call the boss here.

(Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Manda) - Summoning Technique: Manda

Spoiler

Rank: F
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 50
Damage points: N/A (-10 to user upon summoning)
Description:
Manda is a gigantic, 100 meter long snake who serves as the "leader" of all snakes. Fierce and aggressive, Manda is a shrewd warrior. To summon Manda, the user takes a big gamble, as he can easily turn on its summoner if he so deems it. Not only that, but the sacrifice and the amount of chakra needed damages the user, making summoning Manda a forbidden act. Manda has some unique abilities. Extremely fast and strong, his tail acts as a sharp mace that he can fling at the enemies with ease, speed and tremendous power (capable of overcoming even A-Rank defenses). Manda is also capable of using his chakra for 2 unique techniques: he can borrow underground (even if its affected by up to A-Rank techniques), tunneling through the earth at enormous speed or shed his skin, using a sort of substitution technique, where he trades places with his shed skin. While underground, Manda can sense the vibrations through the earth and pinpoint the location of his enemy. While completely immune to techniques A-Rank and below, Manda can take one S-Rank attack and survive by shedding his skins afterwards, although this can only be done once.
Note: requires snake contract
Note: can only be summoned once

 

[21 Savage]

I heard about Manda and he does not scare me one bit.
Baan was well versed of Manda's capabilities of preying on summoner's weaknesses like fear, guilt and the feeling of incompetence but Baan was hellbent on proving this reptile wrong and make him aware and scared of Baan and not the other way round. Imagining a giant snake spanning up to a 100m or even more with a dark blue skin that seems to be fading gradually, a dark brown reptilian pupil accompanied by scary eye lids, two horns protruding from the head with the same hue as the whole body. Upon completion of the mental imagery, Baan bites his thumb and gathers a huge amount of chakra for like 5 minutes if not even more before slamming his hands on the ground to summon the beast, the boss summon. Once Manda appears, Baan makes sure to show no sign of fear or cowardice as he stands face to face with the beast.

 

[Houdinii]

Well done, though you will have to get used to gathering that much chakra much faster for this summon to be useful in battle.

Pitou claps her hands together once after her student successfully summoned the Boss.

We have now completely the summons themselves and can move onto their ninjutsu. Summon the dual headed snake again and use your chakra to direct it to fire dual projectiles at a target.

[21 Savage]

With the aid of a quick blood ritual, I summon a dual headed snake back to the training field like I had done before. Upon coming into existence, they hissed on and on for a few moments. Giving them my order, they both simultaneously fire a drill like projectile from their mouths towards the training dummies.

(Senei Jashu) - Hidden Shadow Snake Hands
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra:15
Damage: 30
Description: Senei Jashu is a Ninjutsu technique that manifests a snake, which extends from the sleeve. The ninja can extend these snakes to attack a target. Once extended the snake can bite into the target to hold and bind them.

Note: Must be able to summon snakes

Focus your chakra to manifest some snakes as you thrust your hand forwards. These snakes should extend out of your sleeve and grasp onto your target, biting into them if you choose. This is good to attempt to immobilize your enemy or to move yourself in mid-air in a pinch, if the snakes can reach something to pull yourself to.
