Terrain: Icy wasteland; snowing, slippery, and random icicles protruding throughout the terrain.
Mid-range, customs allowed - also particularly interested in the RP, since I haven't fought seriously, or at all, in so long.

Young Toshiro Hitsugaya wandered far and wide in the unpredictable world of the Shinobi. Admittedly, he was disappointed - the ninja world was a complete devoid of any challenges or worthy opponent. His passion for fighting had grown stale, as did his fighting abilities. For months he was dormant, inactive, and asleep. A small inherent part of his character drew him to fighting, however, and kept him from disappearing from the world altogether. He now searches for a worthy opponent to spark the light that had been dimmed for too long.

Feitan in signature. I'll incorporate some real NW RPing because my character actually has been on the Land of Snow not too long ago.

Tsuindoragonringu - Twin Dragon Rings

Spoiler

Type: Weapon
Rank: S-rank
Range: Short/Long
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Twin Dragon Rings are two almost identical rings which are made of solid, indestructible, coil-patterned gray material, with respective colored gems in the middle. One ring's gem has a dark/red pigment, whereas the other one has a light blue/light yellow shade. The gems are surrounded by two dragons facing the opposite of each other. It is said that they originate from an isolated region of the ninja world. The person who has created them remains a mystery, but legend says that he died upon finishing creating those. In the last moments of his life, he gifts them to his two twin sons. The sons, however, became corrupted with power and started using them for bad deeds. Eventually, they would confront each other and have a death-match. At the end of the fight, both brothers fell lifeless, however, the rings respectively on their fingers remained shiny. The twins' corpses started to rot, but nature had no effect on such rings. People would also not near the rings because they believed they would cast a curse upon you. That said, the rings have remained untouched for ages. During his travels, Feitan got to find about these rings. Without worrying about anything, he would take a hold of the two rings. Studying them, he realized that these could be used to amplify his main ability; Dark Release. With that in mind, he began working on these rings and would put them on.

The main thing Feitan noticed about these two rings, is that both rings were always ready to give the user extra chakra when needed. Making use of this feature, Feitan manipulated these rings to amplify his Dark Release techniques. The dark/red ring, he would name it the "Absorption" ring, and the light blue/yellow one, he would name it the "Release" ring. The rings also have the ability to sense any kind of chakra or energy, both techniques and beings alike (people, summons, clones, etc). The mechanism of this lies within the rings constantly releasing dark chakra waves omnidirectionally, similar to Revival Fist technique. However, unlike the actual technique, these shock waves are harmless. These shockwaves are invisible and act like detectors and sonars, but will take 5 chakra points every turn from the user. Though, this is only a small part of what the rings are capable of. The main abilities of them are divided into two parts, "Absorption" and "Release".

"Absorption" ring
This is the dark/red ring. This ring will grant him the ability to enforce absorption-related techniques. The most common example will be the Inhaling Maw technique. Whenever it is used, the ring will glow in its respective colors and assist in increasing its rank by one, thus allowing the user to absorb stronger techniques. These will include S-rank Wind/Lightning/Fire techniques, F-rank raw chakra and B-rank water. It has no effect on earth techniques. The rank won't increase for S Rank or above techniques of this kind. However, the user can alternatively only add half the amount of damage, so +10, or the user will spend less chakra without weakening them (specifically -10). The user however can only at a time.

"Release" ring
This is the light blue/yellow ring. This ring amplifies release-based techniques. Whenever these kinds of techniques are used, the ring will glow in its respective colors and enforce said technique by increasing its rank by one, making them greater and stronger. This ring won't have effect on S Rank or above techniques of this kind. However, the user can alternatively only add half the amount of damage, so +10, or the user will spend less chakra without weakening them (specifically -10). The user however can only do one at a time.

Restrictions
- The effects of the rings are passive
- Can only be taught by Klad

As expected, the weather got immediately cold once he parted from the considerably warm atmosphere in the Land of Lightning. Looking at his miniature map of the Ninja World, Feitan noticed that the shortest route to Iwagakure was going to Land of Snow. He wasn't particularly fond of the cold, but it was something he was used to. Back in the days in the Land of Water... not times Feitan is keen on remembering and reminscing, not in the slightest. He only had to live in the present. His black pitch hues circulated around his eye sockets in order to scan the area; it was an icy wasteland with a moderate snowfall. His rings picked up a rather familiar chakra signature though, and this was had pinned Feitan in the place he was standing on. It was... Toshiro Hitsugaya. The man who strangely defected from Iwagakure. Maybe this was a perfect opportunity to sort things out. Feitan had heard a lot of things about this guy. How he was able to grow strong in a short amount of time and being an efficient ninja at Ice Release too. The terrain was in Feitan's disadvantage though. He stood mid range from the ice user and talked. "How nice finding you in your own habitat. I think it's clear to you what I'm going to ask."

Same. I'd like to take this.

I'll take Klad's offer, since he posted first. Penguin, I'll fight you some other time! xD

Hyourinmaru – Ice Ring
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: A sword that has been passed down through Yuki clan for ages. It was broken before, in the war where the Yuki Clan almost became extinct. The sword is said to be made out of the heart of a special meteor that fell in the village. The meteor was as cold as ice, and had all the properties of ice. The Yuki Clan took the meteor, and forged a sword out of the core of this heavenly rock. As the sword was formed, it gleamed heavily and continued to send out a soft blue light. The user of this sword gets a +5 damage point boost on every Ice Release jutsu used, as well as slowly freezing anything it comes in contact with. Of course not the wielder, considering it must be one of the Yuki Clan to wield this. The sword also comes with a most secret technique. Once per battle, the user can channel Hyouton chakra through the sword and let a spear extend from it, up till mid range (much like Chidori Eiso). The second way to channel Hyouton chakra through it gives the user the ability to send out a wave of ice from the tip of the sword. (The same as Hitsugaya when he swings his sword in Bleach) This wave can be used as a shield from incoming jutsus.

Note: The spear is formed as rapidly as Chidori Eiso, but can only be used once per battle.
Note: The "Wave of Ice" can only be used twice and defend up to A-rank attacks.
Note: The "Wave of Ice" counts as on of the 3 jutsus used per turn.
Note: Only one of the Yuki clan can wear this sword (especially Wesobi).

The murmur echoed and bounced off the icy wasteland. That voice, that childlike optimism. Of course. It was Feitan, a young shinobi who Toshiro taught Wind Release to and shared memories with in Iwagakure. Those were days of the past, however. Like Feitan, Toshiro focused on the future and what it held.

He could not deny his excitement for encountering Feitan, especially after what seemed to be an eternity of inactivity. This excitement was evident in his voice as he replied, "Clear as ice... but, I'm actually curious as to how much you've grown - if at all." He ended the sentence with a grin, teasing Feitan. Equipped with Hyourinmaru, Toshiro stepped forward, inviting Feitan to a friendly but deadly match. Giving him no time to reject the proposal, Toshiro materializes thousands of frosted needles around the environment. With one gentle hand motion, the needles converge upon Feitan as he leaps back to avoid damage.

He lands, only a few meters from where he stood.

(Hyouton Hijutsu: Sensatsu Suishō no Shi) – Secret Ice Release: Flying Needles of Death and Destruction
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: A stronger version of the original Flying Needles of Death gathers large amounts of Needles from the air and surrounding environment into more than a thousand needles. He then directs the needles to a specific target, and leaps back to avoid damage to himself. The difference is that these needles are literally icicle spikes, and after damaging the target the icicle spikes melt into a light cold rain.

Toshiro had a carefree personailty as always, and in Feitan's perspective, he wasn't taking this encounter that seriously at all. It will just be in his own karma book though. Feitan took a gritty looking face as he replied. "Instead of worrying about my growth, you should see whether your abilities have deteoriated or not..." Feitan immediately sensed the creation of a large number of ice blades created from thin air. The entirety of them was directed towards the Dark user, who wasn't impressed by such a technique. He focused a copious amount of dark chakra in his mark and slammed it against the ground and coated himself in a shroud purely made of Dark chakra. This would take the shape of Feitan's exterior body shape so he won't get affected by it.. This will also act like a shield for the incoming ice projectiles; once they clashed with the armor, they'd crumble in front of it and have their spiritual energy taken from them. Of course with the power of the rings this technique is amplified by one rank higher. As this was happening, Feitan had reached his leg weights and removed them, enhancing his speed as well as the power of his kicks.

With Feitan not attacking at all, showed an obvious arrogance from his side. This would at least make Toshiro bring the best out of him. With a serious and threatening tone, the Dark user addressed to Toshiro. "Why did you leave Iwagakure?"

(Meiton: Waikyoku no Fumetsu) - Dark Release : Torment of the Undying

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A → S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30 → 40
Damage Points : N/A (60 → 80 damage if released as an attack)
Description: The user will place one of their dark marks in contact with solid matter and begin focusing their meiton chakra onto it. This will coat the exterior of the entity in a layer of dark chakra, which will appear deep purple colour. This shroud will of course possess Meiton's chakra absorption properties and will be capable of absorbing techniques following Dark's elemental S/W. This translates to the ability to absorb any number of neutral techniques of the same rank (S-Ranks → F-rank for elements weak to dark; B-Ranks → A-rank for elements strong to it). This layer of dark chakra can also be applied to living beings (including the user, allies and summons) though contact with it will leech 10 chakra per turn from them. When this technique is applied to armour or the user's clothes/attire, it will only coat the exterior (the visible portion) of them and so the affected person will not suffer from the aforementioned chakra drain. This shroud can also be applied to techniques and will adapt to the target's size, shape and frame.

When this armour of dark chakra has absorbed any chakra or at least one technique, the user can convert it into purple flames which move forward, away from the entity it's coating, and towards the enemy/opponent or outwards in every direction. It should be noted that the latter means it moves outwards omnidirectionally and so it will not backlash or collide with the entity it was coating. Through a single handseal, the flames can be shaped into any form the user so desires (e.g. a tornado of purple flames or a wall of violet fire).

Restrictions
- Can only be used thrice per battle and has a two turn cooldown
- Lasts four turns until absorbed. Adds another two turns to duration when it absorbs a technique
- This technique in itself has no Fuuinjutsu component and does not create Dark Marks. It also cannot be used with the replica dark marks created through Mark of the Outsider.

(Katai Omori: Doroppu) Leg Weights: Drop

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A (+20 to Kicks, 2x Running Speed)
Description:
The user stops, bends over to reach his legs and unstraps his leg weights, dropping them to the ground. As a result the user gains a drastic boost to his running speed (doubles) and +20 to all his Strong Fist Kick-related moves. However, this boost in strength and speed is completely nullified when releasing the EIG or when using any kind of movement speed enhancement technique or weight manipulation technique; they don't add up on each other.
