Congrats on the purchase. ^_^Can be found in my inventory. Thanks man.
Great reply to be fair. In the rp, the concepts of yin and yang is closely tied to Doaism/Tauism, which you may feel like reading into for a deeper understanding but your current understanding is good.The combination of Yin and Yang is the creation of all life, as Yin is the spiritual aspect, and Yang is the life, or physical, aspect of it. They are usually seen in nature in equal amounts, but ninja can manipulate them so that one outshines the other, giving different effects. They cannot exist without each other though, so in all Yin and Yang techniques, the opposite is still present to a degree. Yin and Yang both mix with each other in different ratios to create all the 5 elements, just like how mixing different base colours gives rise to more colours.
Yin Release is seen as more passive, as it encompasses things like imagination and Genjutsu. However, as I said before, it also encompasses a bit of Yang in it. For example, although Gen is spiritual in nature, it also has aspects of using chakra and imposing it on others, which is a Yang manifestation. Yin is associated with qualities such as darkness, coldness, energy, spirituality, and the moon. Sasuke and Madara exhibited Yin Release.
Yang is more 'active', as it is what governs stamina, and is capable of bringing life into a form. Taijutsu heavily incorporates Yang in it. However, it also has some Yin in it, as Taijutsu also has a mental component to it. In its purest form, Yang is hot to the touch, but it does not give off heat itself. This means that if it is touched, it will be extremely hot, but if one is just near it, the heat will jot be felt. Yang can give life and sentience to forms, such as when it healed the dying Might Guy. It surpasses Medical Ninjutsu, which cannot heal at the same level of Yang Release, and it enhances ones physical abilities like Taijutsu. Yang is associated with qualities like light, heat, masculinity, physicality, vitality and the sun. It empowers people, and enhances, like the abilities of Akimichi clan to expand their bodies. Naruto and Hashirama displayed Yang Release.
So first tech:I read about that Daoism/Tauism stuff in other training threads, and it seems mostly like deep and conceptual stuff. Kinda understood some of it lol.
Simply put, sentience is the ability to think, perceive and feel by oneself. To give sentience to a technique would mean that the technique would be able to act outside the users control, on its own. This is different from something like a robot, which requires specific instructions. In the RP, sentience is like giving life to a technique.
You know how to finesse the technique O_<This technique provides other techniques with sentience by adding Yang nature into it. Since it is sentient, it can act on its own. The limit is that the creation it is used upon will be reduced to half its size though. A cool thing is that the sentient technique can use techniques of the same nature, even that of a higher rank than it, so it could be a bit like using an elemental clone, but stronger. It would also be cool to use this on the monkey rock technique, which has both earth and fire natures, cause it would be able to use two elements then.
Does the creation have HP btw? If it does, I'm assuming it would be the same as the damage points, right? And does the +50 chakra refer to extra chakra for the technique it is used upon, and the -10 just in general for every turn? Also, since these techniques become sentient, can they actually speak?
Just remember, you can make near on anything sentient... some wild combos O_<Indeed xD
Cool, I understand now. u-u
The ruling your talking about was actually in the finals of the grand rp tournament, myself vs riker. To start off with, i'll link you that and you can read about yy stuff then come back here and i'll proceed with questions, it's better to go off official ruling for understanding, cause it will cover abotu your arms:Nice, this is the one Naruto used on Guy. Basically, infuse Yang chakra into someone to heal them from pretty much anything, as long as they are still alive. It heals a huge amount as well, so a Jounin would basically be able to get all their HP back with it in one turn. Although I read somewhere by LoK that it takes a turn to heal per limb, and that anything more than 3 turns is too much to heal, so it depends where the damage is I guess. Also, this technique takes time, so it's not ideal to use it in a battle, though it can be done. To use it on oneself, one has to be a Yang master.
Just wondering, does the '70 per use' actually mean per use, or per turn? And if someone wants to use it on themselves, but their arms are gone, how does that work? Do they not need their arms, for example, they just surge it through their bodies?
Indeed you can. It will heal your health pool but take a full turn to heal the injury itself.Oh okay, so I see that you can just surge the chakra through yourself, if I interpreted it correctly.
Restrictions:Sweet, this technique gives an extra 40 damage to all Taijutsu techniques. Coupled with another boost, it could get really strong. Also damage to physical techniques, like Taijutsu, and physical elements is reduced by 60. With the passive reduction of 30 per turn as well, that's pretty neat. Speed is boosted by a lot. Does it stack with leg weights btw? Drawbacks are that you can only use Taijutsu and elemental Ninjutsu, so unfortunately I probably wouldn't be able to use the Byakugan as it falls under a special field. Also it consumes a lot of chakra, but that's okay since battles don't usually last long enough to deplete chakra anyways. And there's also chakra pills to be used, of course, after the technique wears off as that's a special field too.
The reduction of 60 damage is just once per usage right? And can this technique be used to break out of a genjutsu?
Not 60 damage per turn, 60 damage shaved off each technique. That means you can be hit by 3 A ranks in one turn and walk it off.Damn, no times seven speed then I guess. And nice, that means you can get hit with 60 physical damage each turn that it's active and it's all good. No more questions.
Note: Technique can only be used once per battle and requires 50 chakra points to maintain (60 above the first form). While this technique is in use, the user cannot use any non-elemental ninjutsu, Yin Release, or Yin-Yang techniques (other than this technique’s advanced variation).Wow, even better lol.
With this technique, one gathers Yang chakra in their arms, before creating 3 branches of white chakra from each arm, and covering both arms with chakra. These form into sentient snakes which remain attached to the users arms, though they can extend up to mid range. It says they can sense like ordinary snakes as well, which means they can sense through heat. They can also communicate with the user telepathically without the need for words.
There are 3 forms to this technique. The first one is available to all all Yang Release users, and gives the snakes 100 damage. The second form is useable by Yang Release masters and Yin-Yang users, and allows the snakes to have an elemental nature infused into them, making them stronger. They have 120 damage for this one, as well as the third form. The third form can be used only by Yin-Yang users who have an affinity to Yang Release. It gives the snakes a tangible body, instead of just being chakra. They also receive unique venom which drains the physical vitality of the victim upon being bitten. The more bites they have, with a limit of 3, the worse the effects will become. Medical ninja and Yang users can rid themselves of the poison though.
There's no mention of how many turns this technique lasts, so I'm assuming it can be for as long as one wants, provided they expend chakra for it. This technique has a similar limitation to the previous technique in that the user can't use specific fields whilst it is active.
Btw, where do the 8 snakes come from? Cause it says that 3 branches are made on each arm, which would only be a total of 6... And in the first form, since they are made of chakra and lack a physical body, can these snakes be attacked by the opponent? Or will they just phase through attacks? Can the snakes release techniques for attacking, or are they just considered an attack themselves? And last question, is it 100/120 damage for each branch individually, or altogether?
