Henrex's Month Long Tracker Thread [Month-Long Anyburst] 6EdIfMt


EMBRACE THE DARK

Artist: KY0UMI - Song: Unravel - Word Count: N/A


To – As the case with the hand seal of Rin, a peaceful body and mind are the core essentials to mastering not only the art of ninja magic, but also the essentials for mastering one's self. So, it shouldn't too much of a surprise that one of the hand seals in the core of kuji-in is based around the aspect of inner peace and harmony. To begin, we have the hand sign itself of To. Putting the hands together, and crossing the two index fingers so that they may touch the opposite ring fingers, with the middle fingers crossed over them. The ring and pinkie fingers are straight, and the tips of the ring fingers, as well as the pinkie fingers should be pressed together, but separated enough to form either a bird's beak, or a V shape.

Now, once this has been completed, as well as the mantra spoken, the effects are usually immediate. So, once cast, the user would begin to feel one of the beginning stages of this kuji-in seal, which would be comfort. Tensing muscles will cease, anger will begin to fade, and usually, violent intentions are dissipated nearly instantly. Over the course of a single post, one would feel none of their intentions that they had before. They would be in a state of perfect emotional harmony.

Now, the strangest thing about this specific hand seal would be that the effects that are brought never really fade away entirely over the course of a thread. It may seem strange, and somewhat unbelievable, but it is true. This is due to the fact that the hand seal in question is something that constantly forces someone to be in a state of emotional/mental harmony after this has been cast. So, the main way to remove something like this would be a few things. The first thing would be that one would have to have a Master in Mental Deduction before being able to force the effects away.

Another thing that would be required would be the recipient forcing themselves into a state of mind that, combined with their Mental Deduction, could overpower such a serene and peaceful state. This can actually be anything that the user finds themselves having a strong attachment to in their mental psyche. Whether it be sadness, happiness, anger, or even something as bizarre to use as madness, these are all valid things that could break one free of the effects of To. But, what reason would you have to want to?

To Mantra: "On jiterashi itara jibaratanō sowaka."

THE RABBIT QUINCY



ENTER Velvet Usagi





BASIC INFORMATION


I. Basic Information


» Name: Velvet Usagi (Last name means Rabbit)
» Titles: Rabbit Quincy, Rabbit Girl, Velvy [Toshiko]
» Age: 23
» Gender: Female

» Affiliation/Rank:

Vandenreich: This main organization for the Quincy is what Velvet considers her home. While she may not socialize with the other members as frequently as others might, or as she does with Toshiko, she still considers the Vandenreich her home.

Toshiko Kamenashi: This girl....oh dear, where to start? Well, Velvet views this girl in extremely high regard, due to her status in the Vandenreich, and what she has done for Velvet during her life. She taught the rabbit girl how to do a small bit of hacking, introduced her to the Vandenreich, and was pretty much the guidance that she needed to get through her life. She is Velvet's best friend, and although she will never admit it, she is Velvet's love interest. She enjoys spending time with her, and she hasn't ever wanted to leave Toshiko, or the other way around.


» Physical Appearance Description: Standing at five and a half feet tall, minus her ears, which would make her six feet tall, Velvet is your average girl, in terms of physical structure, as well as the rest of her appearance. The first thing that makes her stand out would be the two large bunny ears that protrude from the top of her head, which stand perfectly straight up. Upon close inspection, one could deduce that these ears are perfectly real, as well as very soft and fuzzy, as deduced by Toshiko. Furthermore, descending down her body and arriving at her head, Velvet can be noted to have chocolate brown hair, cascading elegantly down the back of her body and stopping just short of her waist.

When it comes down to clothing, Velvet has two main outfits. The first one would be her main, or otherwise known as "casual" outfit. Now, it is rather strange to view this as casual, or even comfortable for that matter when you look at it for the first time. While it isn't exactly the tightest thing in the world, it isn't exactly form-fitting either. With her still sporting the color of chocolate brown, the outfit that she wears is a two-piece outfit, despite the appearance saying otherwise. Firstly, it should be noted that this suit is by no means weak, or made of some sort of cloth. While a good portion of it is, the golden-looking shoulder pads, as well as the wrist-gauntlets are far from it.

They are made of steel, albeit Velvet requested that they be spray-painted gold in order to better match her outfit. Going into further detail of what else lies on this outfit, there is one accessory that Toshiko gave as a birthday present to little Velvet when she turned 21. A small patch just above the left breast of the one-piece. With a golden border, a pitch black background, and a pink heart in the center. Velvet treasures this gift with her life, and often stares at it in her spare time. Going past that would greet an onlooker with a black undershirt, further questioning the legitimacy of it being a one-piece.

As we get further down her body, her lower half consists of a single golden belt to separate her shirt and pants. Being a dark brown as well, slightly darker than what her shirt is, this really doesn't have much of anything of significance. Reaching the legs, the ends of the brown pants cut off with golden hems, before turning the color of black, down to her shoes, which, as expected, are also brown. The final things that Velvet has in terms of appearance would be her eye color, and her skin tone. Upon staring into the rabbit girl's eyes, one would see that they are pitch black, similarly to that of a rabbit. This does not only extend to her irises, but the entirety of her eyes. Finally, as stated before, her skin tone. Being a girl who would find herself in shaded areas, she never really got much of a darker skin, and to this day remains as pale as a ghost.

PERSONALITY


I. Personality


Timid: This is probably one of Velvet's largest traits, outside of her kindness. While she can be seen socializing around the people that she knows and trusts, the same cannot be said for the unknown. For her, these are places that she doesn't want to venture into, unless she has little to no option left. When it comes to these times, Toshiko, or someone in the Vandenreich are the ones who can coax her out of these. So, it should come as no doubt that the main points of this trait come from the fact of Velvet being incredibly shy, and hesitant. This is usually something that spawned around new people, and large crowds.

When she is introduced to those situations, Velvet can be seen being a lot more quiet and selective when it comes to topics of choice, for fear of having others hear her. Even with her own naturally increased hearing, she is someone who likes to keep certain topics private, when in public. So, with that said, it should also be noted that he timidity can also be extended to fear, as Velvet is someone who can be spooked quite easily, leading her to become even more of an isolationist, and end up detaching herself from conversation with someone for a short time, should then be the culprit for scaring her.

But, there is still one thing that Velvet has, as a result of this trait. That would be the somewhat inability to connect with people, despite being desperate for a connection with other beings. This truly describes how shy she is. When it comes down to it, as said before, she is not a people person. She will usually avoid contact with others entirely. This is not because she doesn't like to socialize with others, it's actually quite far from that. With her, Velvet simply doesn't know how to connect with others, and cannot tolerate the anxiety that comes to her when it comes to situations like these. For most of her life, this has been damn near impossible to overcome, aside when it came to Toshiko. She was the one who was persistent to know about her and such, and eventually leading her to where she is today, and what Velvet thinks of her today.

«EXPANDING ON HENREX'S FINAL FORM»



Do you think it would be possible for Henrex to have a custom form as a Hybrid where he has a perfect control over his two sides, and have the power equal to a Shikokai? This randomly came to me, and I figured I would ask about it first.
I highly doubt it, but it's worth a shot xD


I didn't really give insight or something on this. I basically came up with this because of all the training that he's going through to gain a high level of control, and also mastery over his two sides. Basically, his powers are still unstable, and there really isn't any way to change that by going into his Shikai/Bankai, since that would put it into fluctuation again. So, within this form he would merge the two powers as best he could, ascending to a state where the two would be in perfect harmony, and it could have a power release greater than his Bankai. Not sure if this would be able to happen in general, but it wouldn't be something that would be able to be used until he was around the 0-3/0-2 level.


The only thing I've been able to figure out is that upon activation, and unlocking, it will cause his eyes to begin to evolve into a new stage: The Ultimate Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and the Ultimate Mangekyo Rinnegan. Powers for those, I have no idea what they will do. Other than that, I'm not sure what the form will do. The Transcendence Stage is meant to be Henrex's, in a sense "perfect" form. While he knows that he is nowhere near perfect, he knows that this stage is the end game for him, in terms of how far he can go. This form brings him to his absolute pinnacle of power, and bringing both sides of him into a stage of perfect harmony. Not sure what I can do with that, in terms of powers.

I wrote these, as well as the Transcendence Stage in the way that Henrex does what the name entails: He breaks all of his limits, and him as a whole evolves to an entirely different level than he had ever seen before. His body shoots to the highest point it can get, with everything about him. His eyes, his Zanpakuto, and even his ninja magic. Everything about him is meant to be a whole new level to what he had before.

«THE HEALING HANDS OF HENREX»



Sha – When it comes to the most useful things, there is one thing that many consider. Whether it be in video games, or in war, the aspect of healing is considered the most important role that one could possess. A man once said that the ability to heal is far more important than the ability to kill, and he was very, very right. And so, the hand seal for Sha was born. As said before, this hand seal is entirely based on the focus of transferring their energy to another, and causing their body to repair from near any sort of damage that they would have incurred. So, in short, this can be considered a "healing spell".

As with the rest, before one would be able to utilize the effects of the seal of Sha, one must perform the hand seal, as well as speak the mantra. If one were to be perfectly honest, Sha is one of the most difficult hand signs to pull off, with it's odd finger placements, as well as how uncomfortable it can be to those attempting the sign for the first time. To being things, one simply needs to clasp their hands together, and cross their ring fingers over one another so that they can touch the opposing index fingers. The middle fingers must be crossed over them, with the index finger, pinkie, and thumb being straight.

Now, once this has been fulfilled, and the mantra spoken -- assuming that the caster hasn't given up from the hand cramps -- one would begin to see the truly amazing, and near deity-like power that it can possess, although some of the more powerful effects are only able to be attained by those who are near the tops with both ninja magic, and overall power as a whole. As stated before, this hand seal is meant to heal -- and in some terminology -- defy fate by restoring what has been lost, primarily any sort of injury that one would face.

When it comes to the healing aspect itself, the process usually starts out slow, unless the caster is able to pump out enough energy to speed up the healing enough to begin at a much faster rate, but this is something that drains the user heavily, and is not recommended. So, with that said, there are three types of classifications that the wounds of a person can be identified as. Skin deep, muscle deep, and bone deep -- skin deep being the smallest and considered the most minuscule amount, with bone deep being the most serious, and the most life-threatening.

To begin things, we have skin deep wounds, the lowest scale in terms of injury. When it comes to these, skin deep wounds are hardly a challenge to heal for even the beginners with using Sha. Usually, these require around half a post to a full post to heal, depending on the wound's intensity on this level. After this has been used, one would experience a small bit of fatigue as a result of this, most likely causing a small bit of nausea. Afterwards, one would find that they would not be able to use this for a single post, and would be able to use it around five times before starting the cooldown.

Furthering the wound level, we arrive at muscle deep wounds. These are around the moderate level of wounds. These can span out from a variety of different types of appearances on the body. These can be as deep as certain lacerations, or as far as damaging arteries. These can be noted to take a bit more time to heal, with the maximum time being around two to three posts, and the minimal posts -- usually something that extremely potent energy users, as well as kuji-in masters have -- being around two posts. Afterwards, they would find a cooldown of around three posts, and only being able to use this three times before initializing cooldown. Finally, we arrive at bone-deep wounds. As the name entails, these are wounds that are the most drastic wounds that one can receive.

Being near life-threatening injuries, these will usually take one of the greatest kuji-in users to heal in short time. With the maximum time being around five posts, and the minimal being three posts, these wounds, as said before, are the most dangerous, and can be the most difficult to heal in time. However, there is a loophole to all of this. As many who practice kuji-in know the hand sign for Pyo, which allows a finer control over one's energy. Upon using that hand sign beforehand, one can expect dramatic changes in exchange to what one would expect normally.

The process will start up twice as quickly, as well as wounds healing twice as fast, no matter what level they are. And, for the users that tend to pour more energy into their kuji-in, both figuratively and literally, they would find it going three times as fast. As stated, Sha is one of the most important hand signs that a ninja can learn -- as well as perfect. After one has finished healing someone with bone-deep wounds, they would find a cooldown of five posts, with them only being able to use this once per post.

«THE SIXTH SENSE OF THE NINJA»



Kai – There is one thing that many find impossible to learn. Considered another myth within the realm of ninjutsu, people wonder how the ninja ever obtain it. That would be the sixth sense. This is something that ninja have been assumed to have learned naturally throughout ninjutsu training, when this is anything but true. While it is possible, and extremely likely for a ninja's reflexes and such to be improved upon during training, gaining this so called "sixth sense" is not possible through natural training. Well, it's at least not common. It is possible for this to happen, but it is incredibly rare to happen, and is around one in a thousand chances.

So, to begin with this hand seal, one must perform the hand sign. This is the one hand sign that all ninja manage to master within the span of mere minutes, or even seconds. This is because of how simple forming the hand sign is. All that one needs to do is to clasp their hands together, with their fingers interlocked, and presto. You've just formed the hand sign for Kai. So, with that said, like all other hand signs in kuji-in, one must speak the mantra. With that done, one would be able to begin to tap into the power of the sixth sense within a ninja.

Within a few moments of the hand seal being performed, the ninja in question would begin to feel what one would call an extensive awareness, being able to "sense" possible dangers that would come their way. When this hand sign is performed, this causes a small portion of energy -- which would be used in order to channel one's energy into having this sign take effect -- to travel to the brain, and causing an extreme level of alertness to awaken in the mind of the practitioner in order to obtain the full effects of Kai.

The entire process usually takes an entire post before fully taking effect, causing the brain of the user to be able to think, process, and react much faster than they were before. This takes place in the part of the brain that gives us that small, itching feel that makes us feel as if we're being watching. Acting upon that, and increasing the sensitivity of that specific part, one's mind can become easily able to detect some parts of danger that they normally wouldn't be able to.

But, when it comes down to it, Kai has some pretty hefty limits. While this is meant to be an awareness booster that can help defend against some attacks, this only lasts around four posts, and after that period is up, cannot be used again for a short time, usually around three posts. Something else that should be noted about this ability is it's ability to boost the mental skill of Focus by one level for the duration of the hand seal, but is unable to boost itself higher than Grand Master.

When it comes to those who have a Master level of Focus already, these are a bit harder to work with, since the power that creates the effects of Kai are meant to boost up the Focus skill by a skill level. But, those with Master level Focus are not simply abandoned with Kai. Instead of receiving a boost of an entirely skill level, they are instead rewarded with an even greater perception and focus than a Master. While they still vastly fail in comparison to someone of Grand Master, they would still be able to go beyond their normal limits of a Master level.

One final thing that should be noted is the rather hefty downside of boosting Focus. When the mind is in such a state, the body will quickly become used to the state of having such a expansive state of mind, which will bring down the Focus level a single level further down than it was before. So, while the ninja's sixth sense is immensely powerful, and can sometimes end up foiling many assassination attempts -- it, like all of the hand seals of the ninja, are far from perfect.

«THOUGHTS EXPOSED»



Jin – What is something that many considered impossible? An elderly man lifting a tree? A child seemingly knowing everything? Well, those would be considered impossible. But what about reading thoughts? The act of hearing the mental conversation of another, and using it to your advantage. While it may seem impossible, with ninja magic, fantasy can become reality. So, to perform the hand seal for Jin, all one needs to do is to do the same thing as Kai. Clasp the hands together, and make sure that the fingertips inside. Speaking the mantra and allowing your mind to clear, you have just performed Jin.

Something else that should be noted before going any further would be that this only affects one target at a time, as it takes an immense amount of willpower for someone to focus on just one target, and trying to perform this on two would be mental suicide. Now, when it comes to actually reading the thoughts of someone, this can vary, depending of how high the Mental Deduction of the enemy is. If someone has a level of Beginner, their thoughts would be singing out like a canary. When it comes to the higher levels, things start to get a bit tricky.

If someone were to have a Mental Deduction of Adept, the user would still be able to at least make out what the victim was thinking. Sure, the voice would be a bit distorted, and the words wouldn't be entirely clear, but it would be something that the user could work with. Advanced would have even more distortion when it came to listening, as well as having barely any coherent words to go off of. Master and Grand Master are the worst people to attempt this on, as they would be able to mute out their thoughts entirely.

Now, while this is very powerful, this hand seal is very complex to truly pull off to it's full potential. This hand seal cannot function properly if the user is not at complete peace of mind. Hence why the mind has to be cleared in order to initially perform this. Another downside to this would be that if someone has the Willpower to break through this (Advanced or above), the user would find themselves unable to gain the effects of this hand sign for around five posts, while also experiencing a rather large headache for the duration.

[Author's Note: When it comes to Ziamichi, the spirit would have to have a Mental Deduction level higher than the host]

«TIME BENDS TO HIS WILL»



Retsu – When it comes to a ninja's training, perception is one of the key factors. But, there is one thing that a ninja is said to have perception over. Another item that someone considers as impossible -- the perception of time. This is another one of the hand seals that dabble in the mental levels of the user, and partially enhances them to be able to unlock a higher level of perception of the world around them. To perform the hand sign, one must point their hand upwards in a fist, with the index finger extended. The right hand in it's entirety wraps around that index finger, and the thumb of the right hand pressed against the tip of the index finger.

After the mantra is said, the user would then have to allow their mind to clear before the effects would hit. It wouldn't take long for the user to realize that they would be able to sense more from the world around them. As a starter, a minor version of the effects of Kai would take place, with the user being able to have a "sixth sense", and gaining the ability to detect a small bit of things that would be around them. Think of it like a small buzzing in the back of the head, giving you a slight warning on what is happening.

Eventually, this will build up until the user is able to sense and feel even the passing of time in exact precision. What does this do, exactly? Well, time is only a small byproduct of what the Retsu hand seal truly holds. When it comes down to perception, this seal allows for an even further level than the sixth sense seal, Kai. Instead of sensing things however, Retsu focuses on seeing the energies of the world. Any sort of energy, whether it be Za Koa, Reiryoku, or Psions, they will all be able to be seen on a much finer level than a normal person would be able to see.

This allows a practitioner to perceive another's energy type in a physical sense. Instead of just a simple flicker or tinge or the energy in question, one would be able to see in it's entirety, usually in the form of a small aura around whatever the user is looking at. Now, the main limits of this would be the time limit. Only around four posts, and the user's eyes will return to normal. Afterwards, they wouldn't be able to access the power of this hand seal for around three posts.

«THE NATURE RELEASES»



Zai - This...this is the main power that people look for when they look to learn kuji-in. This is the second most powerful standard hand seal that kuji-in has to offer, and rightfully so. With Zai having the most simple hand sign, and the most basic ability to perform, many have longed for the secrets of the ninja. What is this ability? To control the aspects aspects of nature itself. Now, this is a tad bit exaggerated, as it is technically impossible for one person to control all of the elements of nature. However, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this.

After the hand sign is performed, with the user outstretching their hands, and touching the index and thumbs together, the user will be able to tap into the power of what the ninja call "The Ring of Sky". This is considered the void within the five philosophies of Japan, and resembles fullness within emptiness. However, it is all much more simpler than that. Simply using this sign once grants a user access to channel and manipulate their energy and change the nature of it. This means that upon using the hand sign and chanting the mantra, it allows one to have such a high level of control over their energy that they are able to change the physical properties of it.

Now, there are five basic natures that one can either attune towards naturally, or learn from others. Each one has their own strengths and weaknesses against other nature types, simple because it is what it is: nature. Those five basic natures are:

Fire (火, Hi) is strong against Wind but weak against Water.
Wind (風, Kaze) is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire.
Lightning (雷, Kaminari) is strong against Earth but weak against Wind.
Earth (土, Tsuchi) is strong against Water but weak against Lightning.
Water (水, Mizu) is strong against Fire but weak against Earth.

Now, upon learning and using Zai for the first time, there is one thing that a user will notice above all other things, which would be the type of nature that one's energy will naturally attune towards. The most common for people to have on a first try would be only one nature, however, there have been some special cases to this. For Henrex, his energy was so powerful at the time that his energy diverted into three different nature releases: Fire, Lightning, and Yin. However, this is an extremely rare case, and Henrex is one of the only ones who obtained three nature releases without learning them from others.

Now, when it comes to the question of combining the nature releases, it is indeed possible. It is possible to combine certain nature releases in order to create new abilities for the user, as well as others to learn. Now, back to the releases themselves. While there are the combinations of natures, as well as the natures themselves, there are two releases that are the source of non-elemental techniques for the ninja. These are incredibly hard to obtain, as they are meant to deal with the Chinese yin and yang, as they are named such.

The Yin and Yang releases are mildly complex to understand, since they do not change the "nature" of one's energy at all. Instead, these two utilize the aspects of the body and mind in order to mold that together in order to create something new. As in the philosophy, Yin and Yang are the said to be the opposite, yet complimentary forces of man. Yin, being associated with all things dark, and cold, while Yang is is associated with all things light and positive in a person. These two releases CAN be combined in order to form Yin-Yang Release, but this is something that can only be achieved with someone who has a true mastery over their mind and body.

This is the only hand sign that has no time limit, and has no cooldown, simple because it doesn't do anything other than change the nature of a user's energy. It is a passive effect, and will only deactivate when the user is out of energy.
