Ryutatsu Kyoudo; today is just not your day.

[/i]. One moment, Zuruel was next to you, and within an instant, he was suddenly gone. You don't have time to be confused - the fire wyrm is here, now, before you.

It is an enormous creature.  It towers above you with a powerful build and limbs designed by nightmares.  It has more spiny horns than necessary, and a glowing smear of rock-sized eyes burning like embers in the cool dark of this summer night.  Behind and high above, smoke streams up from the open maw of Mt. Gargarean, and the world trembles.  Beyond the mountain-maw where you stand, lies a plain of gray.

You are in an area of Earth Country called "Remorseless Ash". It is the fire-mountain-region, a location several miles wide that is seen as a no-man's land to those who know what is good for them. You stand in the mouth-like cratered opening that is the peak of Mt. Gargarean, only thirty meters from the beast that has seemingly made your traveling companion disappear entirely. Lady, your companion's animal helper, is now sticking by your side as you face the wingless yet still dragon-like creature, its jaws dripping hunger and liquid heat in equal measure. The beast stares at you with blank animal stupidity and the instincts of a predator, though it seems poised, somehow, patient. It appears as if the beast will wait until you make the first move, allowing you to settle into place, ensure that your armor and equipment are present and in top order, and look for the whereabouts of your missing comrade. Nothing remains as evidence of his existence except for Lady, who stands guard nearly forty meters away from the creature, protective over the items, weapons, and accessories of...

Zuruel of the Kedoin. Today is REALLY not your day.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu was a young boy of broad and tall stature. He was now growing to an age where his size fit his age but only just so. The white hair boy with the markings of his clan stood out for several reasons. The first was the pair of swords he carried on his back over one shoulder. Each blade was crafted to perfection and held special meaning to him for sentimental reasons. The first was Nightin Gale, a blade crafted of exquisite beauty by the Loki Dye now married to his cousin. It's Copper Plated Sheath depicted scenes of Flowers and Storms. There was no sword like it in the world as far as he had come across. The other was the Abyssal Shard, a Dark Crystal Sword that he took off his first challenging battle to the death. Jesse Quick a mercenary in the Land of Claw who supported a crazy plan to awaken an elemental showed him true speed as she tried to kill Ryutatsu. But Ryutatsu showed that skill and speed are not necessarily the same.

His armor was another prize from that early mission that eventually gained him mastery over Chidori. The pearly white Mithral armor was nearly a full set of chain mail that fitted to him like a glove. It came from a reworked piece that he took off another dead mercenary whose strength rivaled Jesse's speed. With it he wore an odd gauntlet, one he crafted himself. It's odd for the two surprises it holds for those that think this boy was just about the swords on his back. Though it wasn't his only surprise. He wore a Tactical Vest that spoke of his rank as Chunnin. In it carried three pouches of seeds, three pouches of metal shavings, and a pouch with a bunch of Quartz. He also carried in his pockets a Plenty stone and a Skull of healing. A Tengu Drinking Jug hung from his hip.

Ryutatsu had been armed to the teeth with two slots of Bo and three slots of Hira Shuriken, a slot of steel marbles, a pair on knives and a pair of Kunai. Spread through his battle cloak was also several grenades. One was a Samum and nine were Stormstone. On his thigh was a leg harness which carried his pistol crossbow and magazines. He carried four magazines of Northern Wind and Four of Dancing Star Explosive tipped specially made for him. Also hidden among his pouches and pockets was a half bottle of agility boost.

His X-ray goggles sat on the crest of his forehead rarely used. His actual shinobi plate hung around his neck right next to the strap for his wireless radio. A slot of circular LED lights, a pair of Obfuscating Eye, a slot of flint, a pen flashlight, and eight tracers made up some of his gadgets that sat in his waist pack. To top it off his clothing was all specially made to be fire retardant. What set off his white and blood read ensemble nicely was the small rose that was stuck in his lapel.

The White haired boy with Emerald eyes was unafraid of the draconian beast before him. No matter where Zuruel went off to he could take care of himself. Their last several spars proved that. Actually Ryutatsu's blood sang with excitement at the thought of a challenging fight. So far only humans could give that to him, maybe this beast could as well. His eyes whirled lightly with four white spots showing that his senses were fully aware of the metal and electrical currents around him.

Ryutatsu smile slightly and narrowed his eyes, a look that was the last one for many a opponent. With deft fingers he performed a few seals in rapid succession just as he drew his rose from his lapel. Suddenly it was a jagged thorn ridden Katana and the water in his jug flew out and around the blade. A complementary sheath grew on his opposite hip for his Rose Thorn as the wind soon made the blade longer than what he was simply holding. Last but not least he flowed more chakra into the blade of the storm element wind to make the blade extra sharp.

His dense Body leaked no light as he was prepared in under a couple of seconds for battle with a great beast. Zuruel would be disappointed that he didn't get to fight it if he didn't hurry up. But the lightning boy was just a moment from proving that he was the fastest man alive.

Drawback: User may only use one of these at a time.
Description: Internal - Takes up 6 Augmentation Points. Reduce Density: Gain the ability to become incorporeal. Increase Density: User can gain Damage Reduction equal to 2 per Class Level. Furthermore this Damage Reduction stacks with any other form of Damage Reduction the user might already posses, including Techniques, Armour, Rituals, and Traits.

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) (20 Meters) (25 Rounds)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu

Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Oh no…” Lady blinked with orange iris that pierced through even the densest of volcanic smoke. Glancing down, she spotted a mountain of rare weaponry, bombs and Hiraishin marked Kunai. The tell-tale signs were obvious. These were Zuruel’s items. Sniffing around, she took in all of the scents around her in a feeble attempt to locate her companion. However, the effort would result in nothing more than a scowl and wrinkled set of nostrils. Volcanic smoke and an enhanced sense of smell were not a good combination. Sulphur, after all, could be considered as the bane of all canines and other creatures that prided themselves on their sense of smell.

“Ryutatsu… You are here too? And- WHAT IS THAT!?” Lady almost jumped at the sight of the colossal entity 40 meters away from her. Even her minor form of telepathy managed to convey the sheer amount of shock at the sight of the creature bathing in lava. Had that thing… Eaten Zuruel? Spat out his undigested equipment like a set of rejected bones? Growling, she slammed her hands together to trigger the Transformation Jutsu. Shifting to her human form of a young silver-haired girl in a grey dress, she immediately weaved together a new set of seals in an oddly vigorous manner. It was rare that she ever lost her cool – although a volcano was likely to melt even the toughest of exteriors. Still growling, the seals ended with a jade crystal mirror forming directly towards her right. Given the opportunity, another set of seals would force the mirror into action and conjured forth five crystal clones of herself with a greenish tint. Was the preemptive strike still with the duo, or was this threatening enough to force the cautious draconic being into action? Only time would tell as each clone set off into a chained frenzy of hand seals to prepare their own techniques.

---

“Oh joy, oh joy.” Zuruel attempted to clap his hands together – only to realise his limbs no longer obeyed him. Had they fallen off? Sprung to life and danced away into the dark horizon along with his vision? Grimacing, he flared his nostrils and attempted to take in the various scents in the surroundings. Unfortunately, he’d gather nothing from the attempt other than the realisation that even his most trained senses were betraying him. If he had lips, he’d click his teeth together and release a ‘tch’ sound. However, it appeared that even that had been cruelly taken away from him.

Focusing, Zuruel drew upon his Chakra network and with a surge of full-body energy, forced his cells to shift into overdrive. Rapidly growing and multiplying, he forced his organs, senses and general body shape to return to his most natural of forms if able. A gelatinous black ooze that shifted to a blood-like red tint near the base where his two legs twisted into a single puddled mass of cells. High above, a single white mask with three holes appeared in place of a face. Two for the eyes and one for the nose. As always, the mouth wasn’t important. That could be conjured at a moment’s notice… Assuming his powers still worked as remembered. If successful, three distinct abilities would return to him. Eyesight that functioned even in total darkness, an 10 meters worth of enhanced smell and enhanced hearing that could capture even the faintest of whispers within a 100 meter radius of himself.

Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Using this technique, the user assumes the form of a creature of same size category as he is or smaller.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is personal. Duration of this technique is 50 minutes per Class Level. User may freely designate the specifics of his new form (such as height, weight, hair texture and color, skin tone, etc.). In this new form, the user keeps their armour points, saves, allegiance and special abilities, but they are adjusted accordingly as per the new Size category (if any change occured), and does not gain any of their new form's abilities other than its natural weapons and cannot change their voice. In this new form, the user can use all their abilities unless they use a limb or body part that they previously did not have in their original form. The user can create equipment, natural weapons or simply make it so that their new form carries the same equipment as they do, but cannot create something overly complicated or that uses Chakra (no mastercrafted objects, no advanced weaponry, exploding tags, summoning scrolls, etc); any part of the body or piece of equipment that is separated from the whole reverts to its true form. The user cannot use any technique of any type unless their form allows them to, but is still capable of speech even if their new form would not usually be. Even in their new form, the user retains their own creature type and does not gain any immunities they would with another. The new form cannot be smaller than Tiny and the user gains a +25 bonus to Disguise checks per Class Level (maximum +75) if the user uses the technique to disguise into another creature. The new form will not provide warmth if they are not clothed. The user can also use Transformation to transform into an object of their size category or smaller, but that is no smaller than Tiny. The user cannot transform into advanced weaponry or mastercrafted weapons, nor can they replicate the effects of an object crafted. The user may use Transformation to transform their clones. The range of the technique in this case is 7 meters + 6 meters per Class Level and affects any clones at the user's discretion within that range. When the a transformed creature is hit while maintaining a transformation, it must succeed a Will Save check (10 + 1/2 Damage dealt) or see the technique abruptly end. A creature that interacts with or intently observes the transformed creature may make an Observation check to recognize it as transformed, but will not be able to determine what the true form of the creature or the user is. Creatures that can See Chakra or See Through Chakra can make an Observation check to notice chakra moving in an odd pattern around the user, which will in turn allow the creature to make a Chakra Lore check (Difficult Difficulty) to identify the pattern as a result of Transformation.

Ryutatsu Kyoudo.

Zuruel of the Kedoin.

[/a].

It is you, Zuruel. You are being dissolved. Your suddenly enhanced weight and new internal physiology has molded your lungs with a full set of air, and this has caused you to float upwards rapidly, even as your passage chokes you, fills your throat with acid. The longer that you remain in this pool, of which you now float at the surface of, the more damage you will take, and you have already suffered a great deal.

The walls around you are fleshy, and heaving rhythmically, slick and pulsating red, engorged. You are in one of the stomachs of the Fire Wyrm, your senses, even ravaged by your 'swim', are keen enough to realize that. It is hotter than it could ever be in the open environment, nearly two hundred degrees, and only the beasts innards seem to be shielded from this. There is a thudding vibration that shakes the entirety of the cavernous organ you inhabit, but its power is drastically reduced by your position within its body. There is no more air, but there is plenty of space. The creature is truly massive. There is room enough to digest you completely if you dawdle. Near the top of the farthest wall above your head is a strange cluster of flesh that quivers with the creature's subtle movements. Every three seconds, a flap recedes from over the aperture of this opening, and a cascade of partially eaten debris, limbs, and blood are dumped into the pool of stomach acid beside you with a loud plop. There are several such piles of detritus around you now, dissolving with you, entrenched in offal.[/ul]

Name: "Malicious Roar"
Rank: S-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Places fear into weaker animals.
Special: ---
Drawback: Consumes 2 movements. Does not work on insects (including Bug Master and Insect Clan Related bugs). Will only effect creatures (non-humans) that are 2 ranks below or 3 size categories smaller then the animal helper. Fear effects will only last 2 posts and has diminishing returns with each use. Fear can be negated through certain techniques (IE: a Brawler's "Nerves of Steel" technique)
Description: Their is an unspoken rule to the animal kingdom, which all animals follow. A code of respect some might say. Fear those who are higher up on the food chain then yourself or end up dead. Crocodiles have been know to back down from a Lions roar; even when grouped together and safe within the water. Packs of dogs have been known to quiver in fear at the mere sight of bigger, more fearsome looking dogs of even similar size. Animals can "feel" the aura domination one creature can have over lesser beasts, and they know not to fool with such a creature. The animal helper releases a threatening roar that could be heard over 50 meters. The roar shakes the very foundation of any other animal within the area, and tell them subconsciously to "back off". Animals within the area are stricken with fear, and a die roll will determine the type of fearful actions the animal takes next:
1-50: The target may remain within the area, but cannot use techniques A-rank or higher in nature. They have freedom of movement still, but fumble their any complex maneuvers as they lose focus, and shake with fear.
51-85: The targets may remain within the area at any distance, but cannot attack of engage out of fear. Foes still retain all freedom of movement.
86-100: The targets runs for their life, and places themselves at a distance 30 meters away from the animal helper. They cannot attack or engage, and will keep their distance away from their enemy until they recoup their courage.
Over use of this techniques makes the animal helper seem less threatening with time. The animal helper lose 30% on their die roll the next time they use technique, then 60% when attempted for a third time. Any use thereafter will have no effect.

vs. Ryutatsu [/ul]
[/div][/font][/font]1-100

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu wasn't intimidated in the least as it charged at him. Before it could even move a foot Ryutatsu released a blinding searing beam of light into it. He timed it so it hit as it's momentum was already in motion and stopping would be hard to do. It was perfect as it would crash into the ground instead of hitting him for he vanished with a Kind of Evasion Shunshin. He dashed passed the claws, pincers, horns, and teeth to it's massive side.

Here ignoring the fear inducing roar with his Fearless Icy Calm, Ryutatsu executed a draw attack with his Rose Thorn. For he sheathed as he had blasted the poor creature in the eyes leaving it blind. His enchanted Rose Thorn would strike with such force of combined elements it's hide would not be something that could protect it. Ryutatsu was careful though to strike out at the hind quarters for such a massive beast needed to be taken out in pieces.

Ryutatsu had uncanny senses and dodging ability when it came to any melee confrontation. It was his strength and now the creature would get sliced by his jagged and sharp sword. The slicing and vacuum causing wind encasing a water swirled thorn blade with a intense lightning current that left the air buzzing and smelling of ozone. Further he imbued his very being of light through it to further penetrate the tough hide of the creature.

He was using a the Purple Lightning Flash attacking from an ultra low position as he had slipped basically but not quite under the creature. The Slice from a weapon that he specialized in and could get ever greater penetration would definitely hamstring the creature. He was a veteran user of such a blade that could use it in intriguing ways. Further he wasn't done for as he rose from the spinning strike, The blade shrank on command to short sword size. And he followed through with a crater creating Two layer Falling Snow like Uppercut. This strike would shatter most defenses and definitely be felt even by so massive a beast as it would be partially launched to it's side.

With the fist, the first blow, using the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand, meets to absorb the object's initial resistance. The first hit allows the user to bypass +2 Hardness per Class Level. Then, with folding the hand immediately to switch over to the proximal phalanx knuckles, delivers the final strike to the weakened object; in addition, the two hits are to be delivered at nearly the same time, with a few milliseconds interval.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Lady would normally swallow as the beast lumbered closer with thunderous footsteps. However, she couldn’t bring herself to feel even a tinge of fear. If her assumption was correct and this monstrosity had just eaten her companion, then all she could manage was hatred and wrath. Gritting her fangs together, she sidestepped behind her mirror to block the oncoming barrage of debris and dust. Her clones, consisting entirely of hardened crystal, simply remained and tanked the minor damage while keeping a careful gaze on the overgrown lizard. Utilising her telepathy, Lady possessed the ability to seamlessly learn all knowledge her clones gained while simultaneously barking orders at them at a moment’s notice. An ability she made use of almost immediately as she commanded her clones to finish their seals and form two spiked crystal gauntlets around their arms.

“I will not be ignored!” She thought to herself as a violent roar filled her ears. “I-I… I….” Suddenly, all strength left her as her knees turned to jelly. She was no longer hiding behind the Jade mirror for protection. She was cowering behind it. “I can’t do this…” She thought to herself pitifully as she buried her head in her knees. With her connection broken from her clones, the crystal structures mindlessly dashed away from the approaching creature in order to create a gap of 35m. In a singular lined formation, each clone pointed their arms at the opponent and triggered their gauntlets. In a flurry of Jade fragments, each clone released eighteen shards per second for a total of one-hundred and twenty per clone if their actions were left unimpeded for seven seconds. Possessing the ability to home in on a target even if it attempted to dodge, each shard precisely flung itself towards the target’s eyes in all manner of angels in an effort to blind it and bypass the resistance of its scales. The clones no longer possessed Lady’s intelligence or the capability to mix in a feint with their attacks, but even they knew to fire their weapons from different angles to avoid clumping their line of fire too closely together where a single attack could destroy them. If successful, each shard would deal 10 AP of damage before exploding a second later for a additional 40 AP.

“Well, this is new. I didn't think I'd ever be back inside of a womb any time soon.” Zuruel blinked only for his eyes to dissolve away near instantly. Suspended in liquid, he couldn’t immediately piece together what had happened. Had he fallen into a pool of lava? Even his enhanced regenerative abilities couldn’t out heal that type of damage. This was… Something else. Something biological. Clicking his tongue against the roof of his mouth, the gelatinous Kedoin unleashed several waves of sound as he floated upwards. As his vision returned to nothingness, it would instead be replaced by faint blue lines as he utilised echolocation to paint an accurate map of the surrounding area. As this occurred, he seemed to gain an understanding of the situation he was in. Grimacing, he called upon his cells to form a structure around the surface of his flesh. No longer surrounded by skin, he’d instead morph himself bright pink and veiny as he transformed the cells on the entirety of his surface into those that would be found on the inside lining of a stomach. Being the only organ capable of withstanding acid, he hoped this would slow down his eventual demise.

Upon reaching as high as possible, his back would brush against one of the fleshy walls caging him inside with the caustic liquid. “So... This really is a stomach?” He wondered as his echolocation picked up on movement. Pulsations, reminiscent of a heartbeat, assisted with that realisation. He was inside a living creature. If there was time for emotions, disgust would the first of many. “There.” Discarding his sight entirely had tremendously enhanced his hearing. The opening of the flap, falling debris and plop as they hit the liquid gave plenty away. Shifting into a slender creature with numerous tiny insect-like legs– almost like a short and stubby centipede – Zuruel swum and crawled along the fleshy walls to reach the flap before releasing another burst of sound waves from his clicking tongue. Echolocation would once again warn him of the presence of any falling debris. This, combined with a indication that the fleshy flap opened up rhythmically once every three seconds, offered ample knowledge and allowed him to utilise the timing to slip through and dash out of the way of any further collapsing debris. Given the opportunity, eyes would be the first thing he would immediately begin regenerating if no more flesh-eating liquid awaited him on the other side of the grotesque abyss. A careful analysis of the situation would then ensue. Utilising echolocation and hearing, it wouldn't be difficult to locate the creature’s heart. If his knowledge of physiology didn’t betray him, then he knew the heart – presuming there was only one – would be located at an elevated part of the creature’s body. More specifically, towards the end closest to the mouth and head. “Hopefully this thing isn’t a hydra… Or something with two butts.” He mused to himself as he fought off the pain searing itself onto every cell in his body with humour. He could take a beating. Lady on the other hand... Had she been eaten too? If he had a fist, it'd tighten at the mere thought.

Special: Handseals
Drawback: Renders the hand encased in crystal useless until the user ends the jutsu and removes their hand from the crystal.
Description: The user forms the handseals and channels chakra around one of their hands, forming a crystalline “gauntlet” around it. This gauntlet has 14 senbon-like spikes jutting out from the top of it that are roughly six inches in length. At the user’s will, they may channel chakra into this gauntlet and send a small shard of one of these spikes flying out of the front of the gauntlet at speeds equal to a tai-master of equivalent rank.

These shards deal 10 points of Piercing damage plus an additional 40 armor points of Exploding damage. The user may fire up to 60 shards per use of this jutsu at a rate of 9 shards per second. These shards will shatter on their own if they do not hit something, giving them a range of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. This jutsu may be learned a total of 3 times. When first learned, the user learns the base form of this jutsu. When learned a second time, the user learns how to form two “needler gauntlets” instead of one, one for each hand. When learned a third time, the user learns how to double the amount of shards fired, totaling to 120 shards per use of the jutsu per hand.

Ryutatsu Kyoudo.

As Heaven Shapeless Dodge and Nameru (To Taste) are at "A" and "S" Rank respectively, you are thus incapable of using them, as per the effect of Malicious Roar. Essence of Movement, Dodge, Defensive, Iron Hide, Roll With It, and Endure Blows are techniques which only come into use when you are taking damage, which you have represented yourself as avoiding completely, making their listing unnecessary, and equally inapplicable as per your post.

The blinding flash of light you release at the beast has delayed effect, as its head is down to facilitate the slam into your torso. The complexity of your movements makes them slightly more difficult for you, although your evasion-shunshin is still effective at evading its headbutt. The beast's size, and your attempt to reach its hind quarters - nearly 25 meters away from you - has made your single use of the high speed movement technique less effective at flanking than perhaps you anticipated. You have unfortunately brought yourself directly into range of its wild claw attacks, though it is now effectively blinded, and its pincer attacks are incapable of precisely grabbing you, or impacting any specific location, easing your ability to evade. You have, however, ignored the Piercing Howl that emanated from the beast, and suffer critical damage to your sense of hearing, rendering you effectively deaf for two posts. Given that you are already suffering a loss of focus and shaking with fear, the intense pain to your ears coupled with the sudden silence can only be more disorienting, and your Chidori Nagashi is incapable, due to its rank, of activating alongside your other sword techniques as you strike. But in reaction to its sudden blinding, the beast as raised its tail sweeping it up to cover its injured eyes, as the rough armor of its tail was impacted with shards of crystal. Though not hurt from the crystal shards, the creature is...surprised, and stomps backwards a few feet, as your poorly angled attack, set to hit an area you aren't actually in, misses its mark, as the limbs in question are removed from immediate threat range in the wake of what spills from the creatures mouth as its tail slams the partially embedded crystal shards down towards the sound of whirling wind and swirling water whipped up by your swords. Out its mouth, a rushing.

It is a wave of bile, limbs, flesh, and fire. A vomiting up of things the beast has eaten. It releases a bubble that the---

---rrrrrriiipppp ------slash-------

Its tail is cut through entirely, as the increased range increment of Ryutatsu's wind and water infused sword tear delayed gashes that rip through the lump of shard-covered tail before its impact actually hits him. The Fire Wyrm's breath attack is likewise halted as its face cinches strangely, and it coils up. It seems as if it is experiencing some internal pain. Spores from the rose thorn have been whirled into the wind and water leaking from your blades, though in the maelstrom of sulfur, ash, and dirt also swept up by everyone's movements, only a few of them land or enter the exposed orifices of the Fire Wyrm as it thrashes madly, aiming for the sound of Ryutatsu.

The Fire Wyrm is incapable of sensing Lady.  Several of its glowing eyes fade in color and look like coals, though its nostrils flare and the slits of its auditory canals are attuned to your shaken movements.  As an animal, it is now wary, and waiting, but has reared up, its damaged tail sweeping lazily back and forth as it swipes its massive claws at the area around you with tremendous force, before hurling the stump of its bleeding appendage to collide with your entire body.

Name: Regurgitate
Rank: "D" Rank (Extra "D" rank for 1/2 meter projectile distance)
Skill: Animal Companion Taijutsu (Skill)
Effect: Allows an animal to regurgitate anything it has ingested within the last 3 hours.
Special: N/A
Drawback: The user can only swallow and regurgitate objects 1/4th their size. Any larger than the animal will choke upon regurgitation. Anything swallowed to be regurgitated must not be thorny or pointy or able to hurt their throat.
Description: In the animal kingdom, most animals are able to practice the art known as "Regurgitation" Releasing anything they had consumed within a certain time frame. The animal is only able to swallow and regurgitate smooth objects roughly a quarter of their own size. The object regurgitated forth will simply fall out of the animal's mouth unless re-trained. Each time retrained, this technique will increase the regurgitation's projectile potential by 1/2 of a meter, with a 5 meter cap.
Limit: Must be an animal capable of voluntary regurgitation. (Such as one of the Aviary, Amphibian, Reptile or Mammalian order.)  


Name: "Tail Swat"
Rank: B-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Tailed creatures can whip their tails in a devastating manner.
Special: ---
Drawback: A tail, or tail like appendage that can be considered a tail must have a base length of at least 50cm. Their is a small 10% the creature may fracture the bones of their appendage with this technique. This values increase by another 5% every time used within the same thread. Consumes at least 1 movement.
Description: A tailed creature is capable of unleashing a powerful blow through the use of their tail. The strike made by the tail can be enhance to deal considerable damage to an opponent, and be a serious threat to any foe foolish enough to get near. A hit of the tail strikes an opponent, dealing a "B-ranked" amount of physical damage. The strike however, covers a large surface area as the tail whips and wraps around the opponents body at the point of contact; distributing force evenly. A animal with a very long tail can dole out damage that covers a very large area against the opponents body with this technique, as oppose to a human fist, which will only cover a very small area of damage for the same value.
Limit: Animal Helper is tail (See Draw Back). Or appendages liken to tails (Octopus Tentacles).


Name: "Tail Launch"
Rank: C, B, A-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A creature can strengthen their tailed appendage to hurl objects
Special: ---
Drawback: Consumes at least 1 movement per object thrown. A tail, or tail like appendage that can be considered a tail must be at least long enough to wrap around an object to hurl it and must have a base length of at least 50cm. To throw larger objects requires the length of tail to incrementally increase as well; at least doubling from this base length for each size.
Description: Through training, a animal helper can learn to throw objects with an appendage that is normally not used in combat. They gain the ability to wrap their tail around objects and thrown them with surprising accuracy; turning rocks and stones into useful projectiles. When first learned, the creature can hurl objects only 1/8 their total weight for their class. When learned a second time around, they may thrown objects 1/4 their total weight in size. When learned for the the last time, they may thrown objects 1/2 their total weight in size
Starting at "Small" size category, objects occupying a space of 50 cubic centimeters large can be thrown with ease. For every size category thereafter, this increment doubles till objects 16 cubic meter in size may be thrown.
The distance accuracy of this technique is 5 meters, plus an addition 5 meters for every size category the creature is above "Small" AND another 5 meters for every rank the creature is above "C-Class". Knowing the A-ranked version of this technique nets a bonus 10 meters to the throw of objects made by the animal helper due to the increased rank and strength they would obtain in training.
Limit: Animal Helper is tail (See Draw Back). Or appendages liken to tails (Octopus Tentacles).

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu blinked his eyes then grinned at the stump of a tail the beast had. It wasn't as quite as effective as he would have liked. But that roar must have been messing with his equilibrium and chakra more than he thought. He wasn't able to access his highest level of abilities. But no problem the thing's reaction showed that he didn't need to go to that degree. For all it's size and toughness, it was still weaker than the mercenaries he faced before.

The creature tried to strike out with it's stump of a tail and then through the broken part of it's appendage. It might have been frightening especially since Ryutatsu was now working in a world without sound. But then again the lack of sound only served to sharpen his other senses. Ryutatsu actually trained sensory deprivation repeatedly. With Shiki the sound of lightning usually overrode everything, and Zuruel a bard used sound as a weapon.

So for Ryutatsu he honed in on his blade that he re-sheathed. As he did so he channeled his weaker lightning and chakra through it. Flying Shock and a Chakra Strike that was of Acid make through his Rose Thorn. Still it was surrounded by a vacuum. A Blind beast versus a deaf swordsman. Lady's help was making it much easier. Besides Ryutatsu had other senses besides his eyes and his ears. He did send a thought to lady however, 'Lady, find Zuruel?'

Then the lightning boy blinked and was suddenly fifteen meters up and closer to the dragon. Ryutatsu knew how to teleport and that was what he did, and then because he expected the action knew to draw and strike within that brief window. He had time his blinking for maximum confusion. Ryutatsu had timed it so when the Dragon like creature had went for it's strike, Ryutatsu would suddenly be attacking from a upper angle.

A diving Drive slash, spinning in the air right into the mid section was what Ryutatsu aimed for. A lade of vine and light would slice deeply indeed as he had a sharpness that could cut between the scales. This would not be a quick fight but it would be one in his favor he thought. His ears not accepting sound but his eyes and senses that read bio-electrical fields more than made up for it.

[Skulking Shinzu]

The clones would ordinarily react to protect their white-haired ally. However, with Lady otherwise incapacitated, there was little they could do aside from continue their onslaught. Focusing, they replenished their supply of needles by forming additional spikey structures around their gauntlets before approaching 10 meters to close the gap between themselves and the Wyrm to 25 meters. Blessed with an effective range of 37 meters, they lined up once again before unleashing another barrage of crystal. Once again, a rather simplistic offense. However, despite the lack of the original, they did possess enough foresight to wait and time their attack. Waiting and watching, they allowed the beast to swipe at Ryu with its tail, after which they took aim and unleashed a bombardment of exploding needles right into the wounded portion of the bloodied stump while taking care not to damage Ryu in the aftermath. If required and the distance was too great for this to happen, they were willing to draw further attention to themselves by closing the gap to any amount required. Clones were single-minded after all. Having been given their orders to attack, there was little else they could do to change the flow of things. Especially not with Lady shivering behind her mirror. “Z… Zuruel…?” The canine picked up on Ryu’s thoughts. She had to find him… But what was the point. He had been eaten. Chewed. Digested. Slain. God knows what else. How could she find him?

---

Ordinarily, Zuruel would be quite repulsed at the realisation that he was now in a beast’s intestinal tract. However, he couldn’t quite manage that emotion at the thought that Lady may have just been digested alongside him in the pool of stomach acid. Gritting his teeth, his regenerative abilities kicked into overdrive and as he discarded his legs and shapeshifted into a slender serpent with an effective length of around four feet. Wrapping himself in a sticky texture, Zuruel latched onto the fleshly walls to prevent himself from being pulled back into the stomach before slithering in the opposite direction. If there’s one thing he knew about bodies, it was everything had a natural direction of flow. Food and liquids flowed in through the mouth before being pulled down. If he went the opposite direction, he’d at least be further away from any attempts of digestion. At least, that was his focus until he heard the clamour of fighting outside. As this occurred, he made a conscious effort to search for one particular sound within a 100m radius of his location. The sound of crystals smacking against other structures. Heard or not, the Kedoin whispered a sad tune to himself as he made an attempt to call upon his Chakra. If successful, the song would call out to Lady and anyone else in the area. If anyone was within a 110m radius of himself he’d know their locations. Specifically, also if anyone else was inside the belly of the beast. Depending on the results… Perhaps hope would be restored to him. Either way though, he also analysed two more things before continuing. Sensing most of the organs were below, he utilised his Bard abilities to sense the natural direction of North in order to gain a better sense of direction. Secondly, he focused on the four vibrations. More specifically, he utilised his keen sense of hearing by focusing on each vibration to analyse if each vibrating organ was filled with a liquid. Hitting a liquid, the soundwaves would differ to one striking against walls of flesh or traveling along empty space. He wouldn’t immediately know how viscous the liquid was either (if any), but by comparing the vibrations of all three organs, he hoped to feel out which organ potentially contained the most and least viscous fluids.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu grunts as he fumbled his sword like he had not done since he was four years old. His various masters would bow their heads in shame at such a sight. But Ryutatsu still wasn't done, for Ryutatsu decided to take himself even higher. Ryutatsu would blink again for another fifteen feet in height. The dragon's own attack would do good at masking his scent and the thing's hearing would be off for a moment as it attacked with that crazy breath attack.

Ryutatsu used the split second timing again but with more room to maneuver to unleash a barrage of attacks in a instant. It was one of his most devastating attacks even if each individual power wasn't his max. With an Jolt of Adrenaline, Ryutatsu sped up even more than his already high speed. He unleashed a barrage of Dragon Strikes of over 30 as he fell onto the top of the dragon, shredding any offending limbs or impedance in the way. Ryutatsu used his knowledge of sword craft to aim at critical locations and weakened areas across the dragon's body. This wasn't an un-aimed flurry but a calculated devastating barrage aimed at critical body parts.

Just to unleash a fully powered up set of strikes with a vibrating, Chidori, Vacuum, chakra infused strike. Having charged it on his last bit of way down to strike another six times in the span of second against the creature's back. To re-launch himself back off the dragon by slamming both feet onto the dragon unleashing a two layer strike as he sprang off the dragon as he sheathed his sword so fast it happened in a flash, unleashing a stunning roar of his own. The Dragon's howl sheathing method would deafen or at least stun this creature.

In the span of less than six seconds Ryutatsu unleashed over thirty seven separate attacks. Few had the ability to withstand such a barrage. The large creature with it's bulk would have a hard time dodging such, and blinded as it was, it would find knowing exactly how to move difficult at least.

Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A dual strike technique that allows the user to bypass hardness while delivering a powerful strike.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Mastery of Two Layers is a technique that focuses on allowing the full use of one's strength and power to be fully utilized at its maximum output. The Futae no Kiwami's principle aspects come from understanding that all matter bears a level of resistance, and that a single blow's impact is wasted upon meeting this resistance. From this, two blows are to be acted to fully transfer this impact. With the fist, the first blow, using the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand, meets to absorb the object's initial resistance. The first hit allows the user to bypass +2 Hardness per Class Level. Then, with folding the hand immediately to switch over to the proximal phalanx knuckles, delivers the final strike to the weakened object; in addition, the two hits are to be delivered at nearly the same time, with a few milliseconds interval. The 2nd strike deals 16 Armour Points of Damage per Class Level. The result is the complete destruction of the object (Can destroy overview Objects if it bypasses the Hardness), which has no more resistance to sustain itself and collapses into dust. Technique does double damage against inanimate objects while creating a crater 1/2 a meter per 16 Armour Points of Damage. User may relearn this technique multiple times.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“So, this is what dying feels like… Hello old friend.” It had been a long time since Zuruel had been brought to the brink of death like this. Grimacing, he stopped in his tracks and sent a swift command to his cells while triggering his soul caster abilities to protect him from the sweltering heat. With his natural body temperature rapidly falling and a layer of soul energy coating his entire body, he hoped to bide himself a precious few seconds before the eventual onset of suffocation. Unfortunately, that ‘eventual’ felt frighteningly close as the Kedoin struggled to draw even a single breath in this toxic environment. His survival instincts seemed to almost scream the fact that it was time to act.

Swiftly, Zuruel allowed his body to blister and boil as his cells began to rapidly form tumours and regenerate his two eyes. As this occurred, Zuruel seemed to identify the presence of a Hiraishin user outside. Could it be Ryutatsu and his strange teleportation technique? It was impossible to tell without further analysis, but it did strike an idea. Focusing, the Kedoin reached out for the Hiraishin seals on his equipment. Being a seal that could be sensed even continents apart, he hoped being inside of the belly of a beast wasn’t enough to prevent him from finding his items. With any luck, the fact that items weren’t floating around with him in the stomach earlier suggested that perhaps they had already been… excreted.

Seconds later, these clumps of flesh would enlarge into humps along his back before bursting to form three combat ready homunculi. Although also shaped like serpents and able to comfortably move thanks to their Gecko Grip flesh clinging to the fleshy walls around them, the one difference seemed to be that all around them, their elongated bodies were littered with fanged maws. Zuruel didn’t posses the energy to outright give them a command. However, what he could do was weakly point at the mysterious organ high above and then point at the three below. There was now little time to lose.

Mere moments left, if any seals were found with enough distance to suggest that they were outside the creature's body, he’d focus his Chakra into locking onto the seal and teleporting to its location. If not, plan B was… messier. Flooding his eyes with soul energy, Zuruel would peer into glimpses of the past as they regenerated the moment his Soul Guard triggered to analyse where he, or if not possible, where the falling debris from earlier had come from. This was likely going to lead him to the mouth, throat and by extension, where he’d be regurgitated. Switching his own Gecko Grip off to allow himself to be carried away, Zuruel pointed one final time at the area around the stomach he had just escaped from with more enthusiasm and vigour than the other locations. His life was now in the hands of his minions.

---

Swiftly, the first of the three homunculi to react would assault the fleshy area around the entrance to the stomach with its maws. Thrashing around, it violently struck and tore chunks of flesh out from everything within reach while taking care to avoid any further falling debris. If this did nothing immediately, it’d utilise its grip on the walls to slither as far into the stomach as possible to bite at the walls and lining while safely hovering just above the surface of the acidic liquid. As for the other two, they simply assaulted the fleshy barrier to reach at the organs Zuruel had pointed out before by biting and tearing through them. Of course, this would take time. Perhaps, time the Kedoin didn’t have. With their combined efforts, all Zuruel could really hope for was to cause enough irritation and pain to force a violent enough response for the creature to regurgitate bile and who-knows-what-else into the outside world. Utilising any knowledge his visions of the past would provide, Zuruel would have already positioned himself to hitch a ride on whatever fluids would be rejected from his captor’s body.

Thermal Override
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user can control their body heat.
Special: ---
Drawback: Complex movements and techniques, usually of the "A-ranked" and "S-ranked" nature will break the concentration needed for this technique. Movement enhancement techniques (IE: Chakra gates) will cause this technique to end. Temperature control is capped at a certain point.
Description: With mastery of the cellular functions within the body, comes the mastery of homeostatic functions. Through dominance of their own body, the user can override control to heart rate, breathing and temperature. The user can suppress or alter these autonomic functions to better mimic the foreground temperature and/or fool thermal sensing abilities or machines. Cellular control allows the Kedōin Blood Line a robust resistance to internal temperature changes, which would normally kill normal humans. Walking around in very cold environments while matching or combating the foreground temperature is not impossible, and not entirely lethal. Some Kedōin have been known to decrease temperatures to mimic the temperatures of dead bodies, making themselves appear as if a corpse. It takes one post to alter and maintain body temperature. Though the user can mimic the foreground temperature, temperature ranges they can mimic and operate in are strictly 30°F above or below the normal human ranges of 98.6 °F (68.6°F to 128.6°F/20°C to 54°C).
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line.

Controlled Soul
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User's soul can adapt souls to temperatures normal people could not handle.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal or touched based technique. Works on 1 creature at a time. Duration of the Jutsu is 5 hours per Class Level. A creature protected by Controlled Soul suffers no harm from being in a hot or cold environment. It can exist comfortably in conditions between -50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (-45 and 60 degrees Celsius). The creature's equipment is likewise protected. Controlled Soul des not provide any protection against other environmental hazards such as smoke, lack of air, and so forth. User also gains 10 fire and cold resistance (this stacks with any they may have already).
Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.

Soul Guard
Rank: "A"
Type: Restoration Ritual
Effect: User cradles a glow of energy inside them and stash it away, keeping it safe, just in case the worst should happen.
Special: To perform: 1 hour; Duration: 1 year
Drawback: ---
Description: User sequesters a portion of a creature’s life force for emergencies. The recipient of this ritual (which can be the user) spends "B" Rank worth of Soul Power. The next time the recipient would normally be reduced to dying condition, they instead regain health, and wounds heal equal to Healing Hands (Serious).
Limit: Must be a Ritualist for Restoration Rituals.
Cost: Market Price: 35,000 Ryo Performing Price: 26,000 Ryo

Re-mortality Protocol
Rank: A-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu, Passive
Effect: The user can re-grow lost body parts, and heal minor damage to their bodies.
Special: ---
Drawback: Each use of this technique shortens the user’s life span by a certain amount. The head and heart cannot be targeted with this technique, as they are the only body parts that cannot be re-grown.
Description: Through masterful control over the cells within the body, the Kedōin are capable of re-growing limbs and organs that have been severely damage or completely removed. Since the Kedōin command the cells of the body on the cellular level, they may order the cells of a badly damaged body parts of regenerate. The method of regeneration is different from ones you can find within the medical arts, as this form of regeneration is known as “Cellular Recycling” or “Re-mortality”. If a body part is damaged beyond use, the user will proceed to “recycle” and salvage undamaged portions of an injured structure. The user “consumes” the damaged body part: breaking down tissue to their basic cellular components, reusing undamaged cells and recycling everything else. If the user is able to perform re-mortality through recycling, they are capable of re-growing fully functional limbs/organs within 6 posts (36 Seconds); minus 1 post (6 seconds) for every rank the user is above “B-Class”. If there is nothing left for recycling and the body part is completely lost, then the above duration is doubled as it takes longer to reconstruct cells from nothing. Kedōin also benefit from minor wound healing with re-mortality. Wounds no larger than 4 in3 (10cm3) can be healed at the same rate as their re-mortality passive; closing up as if never existed. Each time the user regenerates through any of the above means, the user’s life span is lowered by 1 year. Healing minor wounds does not consume any time.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Automatically gained after 500tp.


Warped Visage: Growth of Eyes
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Allows the user to grow a working ocular system and alter its appearance as desired.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique that marks the final step of a true Kedōin Clan member. Normally the Kedōin are blind. They have no eyes, and cannot see. If the user so desire, they may simple command and organize the cells of the body in such a manner as to produce working ocular organs. The users grows a set of eyes, with functional optic nerves to the brain. The eyes grown through this technique operate and function in the same manner as normal human eyes. These eyes can appear in any color and design; with some users even shaping the eyes to blinded with cataracts. It takes one post to grow or alter a ocular system the user wishes to possess.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Warped Visage: Growth of Nose"

Upon completion of this technique, the user will vanish in a flash of yellow chakra and move within 2 meters of the Flying Thunder Dragon Seal. If more than one Seal is within range, the user can determine which is which and select the appropriate seal easily. Because this technique is able to affect anything that is in contact with the user or somehow connected to their chakra, the user can also use this technique to teleport other objects or people. To perform takes up no Movements, however uses up Handseals equal to a "B" Rank Jutsu. Uses up Chakra equal to a Healing Hands (Minor).

Craft Greater Homunculi
Rank: A-ranked

The amount of Homunculi the user may craft is capped at 9 per day.They last for one day before melting away. Going farther than their functioning ranges causes them to melt.
Description: A flesh crafting skill that allows the user to create a larger and more powerful Homunculi. By amassing a myriad of cells, the user can craft and bring forth an organic construct derived from the user's own body. Greater homunculi form and bubble off the skin. Similar to a lesser homunculi, this creature is granted its own nervous and muscular system; capable of operating as its own living organism for all intents and purposes. It can speak, interact with others, and think for itself. Unlike a lesser Homunculi, this creature is more suited for combat than espionage. Greater homunculi are granted the following stats:

A base movement speed equal to that of the user.
A Choice size between 100 cm and 200 cm tall (3-6 feet).
Physical fortitude equal to the users own Class level (EX A B-class user allows a Greater Homunculi to survive 1 B-rank attack)
Homunculi deal same damage as the user.
A functioning range of 100 meters.

Greater Homunculi can be crafted to appear as the user desires; from young adults, to the elderly and more. If a Homunculi is consumed by the user, they gain the knowledge and memories obtained by the Homunculi. If killed, they turn into a mass of cells and the user does not gain any memory. The user may craft 3 Homunculi when first learned. Relearning this technique as a "A-ranked technique" allows the user to craft 1 more homunculi.

[x6] Legion of Maw
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user can grow mouths on the body for offensive purposes. Know as a "Maw".
Special: ---
Drawback: The teeth of a maw can be broken with enough force, rendering the maw useless for the remainder of the fight. The maws the user can create is capped at 12. Maw cannot be used for techniques other than the ones found within the blood line.
Description: The main offensive skill for the Kedōin Blood line. With training the user can grow a multitude of mouths on the body, used for biting. These mouths will bite flesh viciously with teeth, and are at the complete control of the user. The maws grown may or may not have tongues and may appear to the user's desire. If a maw has bitten into something, they may command the maw to spit the matter out, or consume the matter over the course of 2 posts (the maw chew the matter, and user consumes it). A full mouth cannot perform any functions and inorganic matter cannot be consumed. When first learned, the user can grow 2 additional mouths within 1 post, to be placed anywhere on the body. Removing a maw takes 1 post. "Maws" may measure up to 10cm in length. The user may relearn this technique to obtain another 2 maws. Teeth cannot be larger than 1/8 the width of the mouth. A maw is strong enough to tear flesh, but cannot tear through wood.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. "Warped Visage: Growth of Maw" and "Shift of Organs (External)"

Malefic Maws
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu (Supplementary)
Effect: Maws now bear fangs.
Special: ---
Drawback: Same drawback as "Legion of Maw".
Description: Picture With additional training, the maw grown from the "Legion of Maw" technique can be enhanced for deadliness. When learned, a maw grown can bear a set of razor sharp fangs instead teeth. The fangs tear into flesh far better than teeth, and can harm a foe by removing chunks of flesh away. Fanged maws also grip better than regular teeth, offering slightly more utility. These fangs can also chew into material stronger than wood, but nothing harder than stone. Fangs remain the same dimensions/amounts as ordinary maws, derived from the "Legion of Maw" techniques.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Legion of Maw"

Maw Savagery
Rank: D, C, B-ranked
Skill: Taijutsu (Supplementary)
Effect: The size of maws increase.
Special: ----
Drawback: Enough body surface must be available on the user's choice location to fit an increased size maw. Same draw backs as "Legion of Maw". A single maw with "Maw savagery" applied to it is considered 2 active maws, instead of one.
Description: Picture The user can command the size of maw's to increase in size. With training, the cells of the body can manipulated in such a manner as to produce a larger maw; proportionally increasing the deadliness of every bite. The user can prep their bodies to provide a huge singular bite, tearing huge chunks of flesh in one swift move. When first learned, a maw can be grown to 30cm in length. When learned a second time around, a maw can be grown 60cm in length. When learned a final time, a maw can be grown to 120cm in size.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Legion of Maw"

Enduring Bites
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu (Supplementary)
Effect: Maws are more resistant to damage.
Special: ---
Drawback: Endurance is only granted towards physical force. Solid form Ninjutsu attacks will do 50% more damage to teeth. Objects applying force 5 times heavier than the user's own body weight will deal an additional 50% damage.
Description: Just like any bones within the body, continuous impact and training can strengthen structural integrity. The same can be said with the user's maws. With enough use, the bones and enamel that make up the maw's fangs/teeth become stronger. When first learned, the user's maw can withstand an impact force 1 C-ranked. Learning each respective rank of this techniques grants the user the same amount of defense till S-ranked, where the user's maws can withstand an S-ranked amount of force before breaking.
Limit: Must have at least 200 tp within the Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Legion of Maw" learned 3 times.

Fiendish Maws
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu (Supplementary)
Effect: Maws deliver more vicious bites.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture With training, bites derived from the users maws are far deadlier. The muscles that control each maw can be strengthened in such a way, that it allows a bite force far superior to a humans. An average human has a bite force of roughly 200 psi. When first learned, the user's maw can bite with a force of 650 psi; shattering wood and cracking stone. When learned a second time, a bite from a maw generates 1500 psi, each shattering bones, and stone alike. When learned a third time, a bite can cleave body parts off with 3000 psi; ripping and rendering armor or light metal alloys with ease. When learned a last time, maws rip and render heavy armor, and dense metal alloys with ease; at a force of 6000 psi.
Limit: Kedōin Blood Line. Must know "Enduring Bites"

Mirror Function
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu, supplementary
Effect: A homunculi can use techniques from within the clan.
Special: ---
Drawback: For a Homunculi to use a specific ranked technique from the clan, the user must know a specific rank within this technique. Homunculi cannot craft other Homunculi. Homunculi cannot use S-ranked Clan techniques.
Description: Homunculi are capable of using Kedōin Clan techniques. Since they are crafted from the user's own nerve fibers, muscles and flesh, they are capable of thought process which grant them clan abilities. When the user learns the C-ranked version of this technique, Homunculi can user D-ranked Kedōin Clan techniques. This continues till the user learns the S-ranked version of this technique, which grants homunculi A-ranked Kedōin Clan abilities.
Limit: Kedōin Clan. Must know "Craft Lesser Homunculi"
