Detect Evil
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user can sense the presence of evil.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this Jutsu is 20 meters cone-shaped emanation. Duration is Concentration, up to 5 minutes per Class Level. The user can sense the presence of evil. The amount of information revealed depends on how long the user studies a particular area or subject.
1st Round: Presence or absence of evil.
2nd Round: Number of evil auras (creatures, objects, or Jutsus) in the area and the power of the most potent evil aura present. If the user is of good alignment, and the strongest evil aura's power is overwhelming (see below), and the Trainnig Points of the aura's source is at least twice the user's Training Points, they are stunned for 1 round and the Jutsu ends.
3rd Round: The power and location of each aura. If an aura is outside the user's line of sight, then the user may discern its direction but not its exact location.

Aura Power: An evil aura's power depends on the type of evil creature or object that the user's detecting and its Class Level; see the accompanying list. If an aura falls into more than one strength category, the Jutsu indicates the stronger of the two.
"D" and "C" Class: Faint
"B" Class: Moderate
"A" Class: Strong
"S" Class: Overwhelming

Lingering Aura: An evil aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a Jutsu) or is destroyed (in the case of a creature or Chakra item). If detect evil is performed and directed at such a location, the Jutsu indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power: Animals, traps, poisons, and other potential perils are not evil, and as such this Jutsu does not detect them.
Faint: 1d6 rounds
Moderate: 1d6 minutes
Strong: 1d6×10 minutes
Overwhelming: 1d6 days

Each round, the user can turn to detect evil in a new area.
Limit: Must be a Sensor Specialist.

Detecting Evil, it felt like spiders crawling up her spine. Every time she did this, it felt just as uncomfortable as the first time. She was in this bar, in this chair in the corner looking out over the sparse crowd, keeping everyone in sight as she tended to do, and keeping herself out of their sight. This bar was her Haven, a place where she came to sit in quiet peace. The people here were nice enough, lonely enough and old enough for a young girl like her to get whatever she wanted with ease, and what she wanted was seclusion. But nice, lonely old men are only so nice for so long.

"Hey...Gwynny," a man said with a burp as he dragged his chair from wherever he had been to sit across from Gwyn's table. God, he reeked. The smell of cheap alcohol rolled off him in waves, and there was another, sickly, rotting smell coming from him too; something that lingered just under the surface. Gwynevir leaned back in her chair, recoiling from his presence. He grinned a toothy grin and leered at her, his eyes hungrily taking in her features.

Her skin crawled under his gaze, but something about this feeling was different than normal. No, this wasn't simply revulsion at this gross old fool's approach. She remembered his mouth moving but no sound, his expression changing from a sly, smug smirk, to confusion, and finally to anger as it slowly dawned on him that she wasn't listening. Gwyn didn't hear his words, only felt his presence in those few moments of their meeting. It was a culmination of senses that told her a story of his character. His body language, his smell, his expressions were all things she didn't like, but it's as if there were more details that triggered a primeval sense inside her.

It was as if, suddenly, she cloud look at his very being, and not just at his face. She looked through and into him, wide eyed in surprise as it almost seemed like his disgusting thoughts were coming off of him in a vapor. It was brown and black, like dried blood, and it seemed to bubble and pop with every word she didn't hear. This aura that cascaded from his skin and rolled around him like a ghastly cloak is what made Gwyn recoil, and sent the feeling of spiders running down her spine for the first time.

It didn't take her long after that encounter to get a handle on herself. She considered her emotions mastered, and would not be shaken so easily by such feelings. Gwyn always sat their, and wouldn't let that encounter, one she got out of with a sharp jab to the man's nose when he reached to touch her, ruin this place for her. On the contrary, he had opened her eyes to a new concept by his overwhelmingly disgusting presence; that she could Detect the Evil natures of people. She practiced in that bar, from that corner, watching everyone that came and went, and found only rarely other's with aura's like his. They seemed to always have a certain way about them. A deliberateness to all their actions, and a strange, often unearned, confidence about them.

Like any drug (if she could call being revolted a drug) it didn't his as hard the more she did it, and eventually, she was desensitized to it. Maybe, however, that was for the best. She didn't loose the ability to sense them, it was simply a thing she had to decide to, and she was thankful for that. Now, she was in control of the spiders, and she decided when to feel that chill, and she knows now that, the one who had first been the catalyst for her new found senses, had not even been a drop compared to the oceans of depravity that can ooze from someone's aura.

After him, in that corner she had seen auras ranging from his moderately misty, to fragile little clouds of darkness, to an aura so powerful, it actually rooted her to the spot. Knowing that darkness so strong could exist at all, and knowing that it could exist in her home none the less filled her with rage. A rage she drowned in alcohol. She considered her power often, and laughed at the miracle it was that she had the ability to sense intent so clearly...when she had no desire to sense anything at all.

What she could do slowly started to make sense to her. It was a power like any other, but not one that needed handseals or for her to work her chakra, though she did feel it drain her like any activity did. No, this was something deeper, something almost primeval, ancient and buried in her blood. She could sense the nature's of people, of Evil people with enough focus. But she wondered if she could expand on that idea, and sense the other side. What else, even could she sense? Animals? Objects? Those were questions for another time, and for now she needed to simply take a look at the other side of this new spectrum.

She chose people watching, not at the bar, but at public parks. She chose to watch people out with their pets, and children and lovers. Chose to soak up their joy and their presences. Their love. They moved so much differently than the slobbering beasts that crawled into the hole in the wall bar she called home. They didn't have the kind of selfishness to their actions that plagued the patrons. They moved so selflessly to take care of one another. From her bench Gwyn smiled and, much to her own guilt, was jealous.

Their aura's were so peaceful. Calm, and blue, and they seemed to mingle with one another. God, their were so many good people here in the park. She picked one with a pet dog, and focused in on him, choosing to hone her vision and all her senses on the elderly man. He stroked and snuggled the furry creature happily, and his aura was practically brimming with good intentions. She wondered what her aura looked like, and if it was ever as bright and blue as his was now.

She continued to scan the park, and took in what were now properly focused lights that outlined each person here. Gwyn's smile unconsciously was so wide it nearly took in her ears. Her smile, however, was cut short by a blank spot in her senses. Someone, sitting on another bench only a few meters away, didn't have an Aura. She concentrated on him, and realized that it was because she was trying to sense good people right now, and not evil.

'Only one at a time eh....' she contemplated this limitation as she looked around to try and see who it was this man was looking at. She scanned the crowd of blue auras and focused in on one family, happily first spring picnicking. Gwyn considered her position, and her senses, and frowned. She didn't like that she could only sense one side of the spectrum at a time, and even that limited thing didn't tell her much. Maybe she could sense further....

She got up and slowly circled around him, trying to change her senses to a different kind of view. She focused less on the color of the aura, and more at the silhouette of it, until it blanched of all color. There was just him, in this park with this kind of aura. She looked around to compare his aura to the other people and noticed she could no longer see their aura's at all. She had made it into another view spectrum, clearly, and as she looked back to him, she knew it wasn't a good one. Gwyn clenched her fist and wondered what he was doing here, and why he was watching this seemingly innocent family.

His aura didn't answer much, but as she intensified her stare on his back, it came more into focus. It's edges were erratic, and thin in some parts and thick in others. Chaotic, wild, and angry. For some reason Gwyn wasn't yet able to explain, she felt a strange and sudden kinship with him upon witnessing that chaos, but she shook it away quickly when she remembered the absence of good in the man. Gwyn carefully stalked closer to him, taking care against the fresh spring snow, and found she had to move extra cautiously to both concentrate on maintaining her sight on the aura's and to stay out of this man's attention.

Gwyn gritted her teeth. She closed her eyes and focused inward for a long moment and crouched. She stilled herself, and fed her chakra up to her mind, up to her senses, and maintained the technique. When she opened her eyes, the man's aura was sharp and in focus, and she could see each and every jagged protrusion and wild curl that emanated from his head to his feet. Slowly, carefully, she began his approach on him. Quietly and cautiously she examined him, gauging his power through his aura. He wasn't very strong, she figured, and would probably be easy enough to take out silently and without anyone noticing.

She was right behind the bench, right in a perfect killing position to sink a dagger between his ribs, when she considered her own aura. She couldn't see it, at least not without a mirror, but for a moment she wondered if this may tarnish it. What color was her inner flame? What shadow did it cast? Were the edges hard, soft, or wild like this man she was about to kill? Gwyn looked up at him from behind and considered him again, before switching senses once more.

Gwynevir nearly gasped aloud. She had switched to the evil spectrum, to see if the truth of him was burning red, but he was not their either! Silently, Gwyn backed away, just in time to hear the family call to the man on the bench to stop sulking and join their family. She had nearly killed a member of a family! Gwyn cursed the limitations of this ability, and found that she would, if she were to continue training this path, still need to use her own judgement.

But as she stalked back to her own quiet bench, she wondered about her past...about people she had already killed, and whether or not her senses could have shown her if they truly deserved it...or if she had spared people who hadn't deserved mercy. She spat on the ground before taking her seat and returning to her crowd scanning. 'Thoughts for another time...'

Once again, she focused her senses and changed the spectrum she saw aura's in. Her ability to transition was getting smoother with each new side she unlocked, and she knew she had just one left. She couldn't see the neutral waves, but if she could see all other angles, then the only gap would be true neutrality. Gwyn wandered through the park, focusing on each and every person their, honing in on their positive, Lawful natures. She was surprised to see that the amount of people who were truly lawful didn't match the amount that were good.

The waves hit her face and chest like a cool breeze, and it warmed her to the bones. It was nice...but also unpleasant at the same time. Like the nature collided with her own sensibilities. Similar in sense to the waves of unpleasantness that came with Detecting Evil, but the feeling was more like being frozen from the inside out. Like icicles building up in her bones and her joints. It felt painful.

As her vision focused in on the few with lawful auras, she couldn't help but notice that they were also coincidentally some of the strongest aura's she had seen so far. They were still, and geometric. Like towering pieces of crystal they solidified around the people they emanated from and moved with them like a shell, and not like the fires that she had seen on others. Gwyn looked at them, and then found she had the urge to look away. She found them somehow repugnant to behold. Something within her roiled and churned in protest as she walked passed them, and simply sensing these aura's made her light-headed.

'I Guess I'm chaotic...' When she considered it, and looked upon herself, she wasn't surprised. She was a wild thing, many people had said so, and looking at the people in the park of course none of them were. Of course she was like the man on the bench, probably drawing watching eyes to her, just as her eyes went to him. She was suddenly very self conscious about her own aura. About the effect it may subconsciously have on others, and what people might think being around her, even if they weren't sensors. She knew that she had always been a sensor to some extent, but to those who didn't....

Was she a pariah purely by accident? Her eyes fell upon a few ninja on patrol, and upon their lawful auras. They watched her with hard eyes, and she returned their glares. Their auras were powerful, reflections of their inner spirits, and probably as large if not larger than Gwyn's own. She nearly swooned and had to turn her attention away from them, the waves of cold sending waves of pain through her body that nearly locked her mid step.

'Fuck...' she thought to herself. She considered turning off the sense all together, but she decided against it when she thought about the fact that she couldn't keep swooning and nearly freezing up every time she came across a powerful aura. The two ninja's seemed to take interest in her strange behavior, and slowly began to approach, bringing their waves of law closer to her with each step.

"Hey are you alright!?" One of them called out. Fuck.

Gwyn decided to put in some practice in her deception skills. She always had been a charming girl, and beautiful too, and using that to her advantage had always come easily in getting people to do what she wanted. Gwyn shook her head, sending her brilliant white locks dancing around her face and shimmering in the light.

"Oh~" She cooed as they approached and she swayed. Their law alignment allowed her to move without having to put up an act, and she stumbled forward right into the arms of one of the two ninja. Quickly, before she was overcome by their purity, she closed off her extra sense, and looked up at him with her green pools. She smiled up at him, charming him with her eyes and touching him on his chest as she gently and slowly pushed away from him.

"Thank you~..." Her eyes were focused on him. He was the taller of the two, with short dirty blonde hair and amber eyes that looked deeply into Verona's green. He was taken by her, as most ended up being upon first meeting her, but a quick glance to his shorter companion showed that her charms had only worked on one of them. He, unfortunately, was all business.

"We've gotten reports that a woman matching your description was acting strangely in this park," The short man said sharply. Think fast, Gwyn thought. She smiled shyly and looked down at his shoes. "I'm sorry," she muttered and rubbed her hands together coyly. "I was just...feeling a little over-whelmed." She looked up at him and smiled, and then returned her gaze to the tall one with amber eyes and continued. "It's spring and there are so many new senses to explore~," her ability to deflect conversations was getting better and better, and in some ways she was even worrying herself with how insidious her personality could be.

"It is a beautiful day..." The tall man said with a goofy smile, but his companion didn't seem so impressed. "Well it doesn't matter, you're loitering!" He barked, causing Gwyn to take a cautious step back. This one would be harder to convince than his friend here.

"What's a park for if not loitering?" Gwyn reasoned, "And lazily enjoying a beautiful day in innocence?" the corners of her lips curled into a sly smile and she added, "You two could always join me." The addition was to incite a division between the two of them. She knew, even before the words left her mouth, that the tall one would want to stay, and that the short one would deny him that. He'd remind them of their patrol route, and would leave her alone. The tall man's face lit up and then fell into a deep frown as his companion scolded him; everything went just as Gwyn had thought it would.

"Well, when you get off, I might still be here~" she said with a wave to the two ninja as the short one hurried away with the tall ninja in tow.

Gwyn's day in the park had been pleasant. Despite the near scare with accidentally stabbing a man in broad daylight, and being questioned by an overly aggressive ninja, it had been a productive exploration of her senses. She decided then, to take her sojourn to the streets of Yukikage proper, deciding to mingle with the people. There were all types here. She loved the variety of people, and loved watching them interact with one another, and even every now and again loved interacting with them.

But sometimes they didn't love interacting with one another. Gwyn slid to the inside of a growing circle to watch two large men arguing quite loudly with one another. Both were accusing the other of infidelity, theft and a whole manner of things that may or may not have been true. Gwyn sighed, and was about to leave, but then saw an opportunity to take advantage of these two brutes, and have a bit of fun while she was at it. From both their hips swung pouches surely filled with Ryo, and if she was careful, she could take at least one of them with ease.

She appeared between them, and quickly started to calm them down, acting as a mediator. She listened to their accusations, and nodded appropriately to seem impartial. Clearly, they were both being used by this third party that was not present, but she saw no need to tell them that. What she needed, was for them to keep fighting, but in a way that could pull other people from the crowd.

She suggested the idea of a fourth person, a mistake that presented the idea of an alliance between the two men in opposition to this 'new' foe. She used what she rightly assumed to be their bravado to her advantage; men this big wouldn't have their reputations besmirched by someone smaller than them! The crowd erupted with murmurs and Gwyn saw another chance. She slipped behind the two men and back into the crowd, and added her own whispers. 'I Heard it was that guy,' she said with a point to a man who looked like he might be able to at least handle one of these men for a few minutes. She repeated her rumor a few times at a few different places in the crowd before she herself heard the rumor from someone else. When she did, she was back out of the crowd, hiding behind the two giants with ease. The rumor took effect.

Suddenly, the third man was shoved into the center of the circle, and Gwyn could barely hide her smile. The two giants fell upon the man almost immediately, and she jumped into the fray, calling for them to stop! With deft hands, she pocketed both of the giants purses, and demanded they stop, calling their humanity into question. She reasoned with them, and calmed them using her intelligence as a pry bar to wrench them away from each other. She felt bad enough to 'Offer' the man she had unwittingly roped into this situation the Ryo she had taken from the two right in front of them, and he accepted it graciously.

Gwyn skipped out of the circle, and left the two giants to their shame, laughing all the while. Her pace increased once she got clear of the few people rubber-necking at the edges of the circle, and she rounded a corner and ran smack into a ninja.

"Uh..."She began just as he grabbed her arm.

"I saw what you did." The look in his eyes told her she was caught. She might have tricked the people on the ground, but she assumed, no she knew, that he had watched from the rooftops.

"I-I can...explain?" No, she couldn't.

The holding cells stank. She hated coming here, but she couldn't believe she had to actually be on the other side of the bars. The chains around her hands chafed, and the ones around her ankles irritated her and made her shift on the barren stone bench. But not as much as the smug glare from the woman who watched her from the other side of the bars.

"Gwynny," the woman cooed. "Ellia," Gwyn sharply responded with a fierce glare of her own. They had been enemies since school, and for good reason. Ellia was a monster, a violent brute that reveled in causing pain. Gwyn spat at her feet. Ellia opened the cell door and stepped in, closing it behind her. She had a katana at her hip, and an angry stare in her eyes.

"You remember what I told you, right? That if you ended up in one of these cells, I'd kill you, right?" Gwyn laughed in her face and Ellia slowly drew her sword in response. It was just like her to kill an unarmed, bound enemy. Despite her laugh, Gwyn's stare was intense. She knew she probably sent every other guard away, and that they were alone down here. She knew Ellia had full intentions on killing her and sating her sick bloodlust, and she knew that this would be a fight for her life. This was not how she envisioned her day going.

Ellia thrust forward and Gwyn lifted the shackles to intercept, the tip of her katana locking between the links of the chain. Ellia growled and kicked Gwyn in the chest, knocking her back against the stone walls and winding her. She pulled back the sword and swung down, but Gwyn got the shackles up again to block the slash. Metal shards and a loud bang rand out from the clash as the manacles practically exploded. Gwyn rolled off the bench and circled around Ellia, who quickly swung horizontally to try and cut her prisoner in half. Gwyn saw the strike coming however, and had not gotten up from her crouched position, and instead jabbed straight for her jailer's stomach.

Her adrenaline was racing, and her eyes were burning up. She thought she might have gotten a piece of metal in it, but she dare not blink against this adversary in such close quarters. The woman shrieked and slashed her blade wildly at the crouched Verona, but her blade met nothing but air. Verona was always agile but now, in this cage fighting for her life with her feet bound she had to be faster than she had ever been before. She had to move not just when she saw her enemy move but before. She wished she could blink just once her eyes felt so dry. She focused chakra to them to try and cool the fires, but that seemingly made it worse.

Ellia thrust forward with all her might, and Gwyn sidestepped, letting the blade fly inbetween the cell bars. With a sharp jab, she shattered her attacker's right arm, and her grip on the sword loosened immediately. Gwyn followed up with an elbow to send her backwards across the cell, and took hold of the katana before it fell to the ground. Their positions starkly reversed as Ellia sat slumped in the bench against the far cell wall, and Gwyn using the katana to pry apart the binding chains around her ankles.

Finally, Gwyn blinked. And her eyes felt...different. Somehow, they still had a heat behind them she couldn't explain, and they pulled on her chakra hungrily in a way that her other sense abilities had not. This was incessant, and as thrilling as it was terrifying. She felt somehow like her eyesight, which was already better than most, had taken a new step in evolution. Ellia's expression of anger turned to shock when she looked up at Gwyn, and it was then Gwyn's turn to have the look of smug satisfaction.

Gwyn knew she had time. She cut the flow of chakra to her eyes and then began to focus in on the nature of what was happening to her. It was like this spring had given her access to new senses she was never aware she had before, and she was eager to master them as quickly as possible. She had always been certain that she was unremarkable, and had struggled to keep up with her peers due to her luck, but recently it felt like her luck was turning around. And now she had these new eyes. New eyes to look upon the world with.

The unknown uchiha focused her chakra around her orbs, probing them for information on their nature in a way she had never thought to do before now. She never even thought she could, and it's quite possible that she wouldn't have been able to if not for her heritage. She pressed her chakra against the locks, her control stellar thanks to her skill with genjutsu, and she worked between the points and gates that bound her new hidden red eyes behind her normally green. It took time, she mused, to unlock the eye, and the process wasn't entirely comfortable either. She closed her eyes for a moment, confident that if Ellia moved she would be able to strike down the fool before she managed to get close.

From her eyelids, she applied chakra as well, trying to deactivate and reactivate the sharingan in rapid succession. She would master this technique, she promised herself, in this moment. He eye opened, and the world was clear, and when she blinked, it was slightly blurred. Had she damaged her eyes, or were they always this terrible, she mused. She closed her eyes again, and forced the chakra from both sides simultaneously this time, trying to bombard her orbs with the energy they needed to make the transition.

It worked, but it didn't cut the time by much. Gwynevir growled and tapped her foot. Then she had an idea. She refocused her attention on Ellia, who was muttering to herself, and sent chakra roaring up to the lenses in her eyes. She built and gathered it there continuously until it felt as if her eyes would burst from her head. Then she blinked. All at once in that instant of darkness she released the chakra and it bounced off her shut eyelid and around her eyes, being absorbed by them and changing them into their new forms. When her eyes opened, Ellia was staring into the red eyes of an uchiha, set in the beautiful smiling face of Gwynevir Verona. Gwyn's smile was short-lived, however, as Ellia was smiling too.

"Bye Bitch." She cursed before throwing her left hand towards Gwyn. There was a blinding flash...and then the sound of birds.

Gwyn sprinted through the forest in a panic, rushing past trees and through bushes in a mad dash to try and escape whatever it was that chased her. She had been sent somewhere and was fighting a thing that Ellia clearly had trapped here as some sort of final torment for people she truly despised. Gwyn would have been honored, if she wasn't so pissed. Her crimson eyes darted around for some sort of advantage, and quickly she fell upon a network of trees with which she could make her escape.

Deftly, she climbed the trunk and found herself high in the branches, and was looking down at a sort of tiger. It had six legs, two tails and three eyes, two on one side. It roared up at her and tried to climb the tree to get after her, but it was far too heavy. Gwyn was revolted at the sight of it, and she almost wished her vision hadn't become so sharp. She could see every detail on it's scarred face. She could see the stitches in it's side where it's new arms had been attatched, and she could tell with it's awkward movements that it hadn't gotten used to them yet.

"An Experiment..." Gwyn lamented under her breath from her perch. She turned her gaze away from the creature, and sorrow filled her eyes. She gripped the katana in her right hand tightly, and found the resolve to put the creature out of it's misery. Is that why you fight, she wondered? Gwyn had been seeing a lot of herself in unexpected places today too, and if this creature was a representation of the beast she would become if she remained caged, then it was her duty to slay it and set it free. She focused her vision on it, following it's pacing at the foot and meeting it's hungry gaze with her own.

It's chakra was a roaring fire around it. It's muscles pulsed out power and strength, and she understood this creature was once a king, and a cage had made it no weaker than when it was free. She admired it. Her legs compressed against the tree, and her left hand gripped the branch tightly as she flipped upside down. Ready to attack, she needed to wait for the right moment to let loose. She wasn't sure she would be able to take this thing in a straight fight, not without her gauntlets, but with a first blow...she may have a chance.

Like a loosed crossbow bolt, she fired herself from the tree straight down towards the tiger, not taking her eyes off her target for a second, only squinting as the air rushed passed her brilliant orbs. She felt her heart pumping adrenaline wildly and her heart racing with anticipation just before her blade plunged hungrily into the back of the ferocious feline. It wailed in pain and blood sprayed from the wound, soaking her in a red as deep as her iris'. She wrenched the blade free and lept from the back, dodging one of it's many claws. This thing was faster than it's master, but they had more space to fight in too.

Gwyn's grin matched the tiger's grimace in ferocity, and it began to lower itself to the ground in front of her. Then, the world felt like it slowed down and the moment stretched into seconds. She watched the cat tighten it's muscles in it's front paws, loosen it's back with a slow shake from side to side. It's rear claws dug deeply into the loose shifting earth bellow it and tamped it down to make it a perfect platform to pounce from. It all happened in an instant, Gwyn knew, but somehow it felt like an eternity.

She lifted her blade and dove forward, at the same time the tiger launched it's massive half ton body towards where she had been standing an instant before. They both roared, two animals clashing together, but Gwyn proved the faster and plunged her blade into the underside of the creature and raked it from neck to crotch. She would have expected to be covered in gore when she rolled to her feet, but she had seen with her new eyes that it had a shell on it's underbelly, hidden beneath it's pelt. She cursed as she backed away from the creeping creature. It began to get low, and she wondered what other tricks this thing had in store for her.

"Here kitty kitty kitty..." She said through puckered lips as she backed away. It pounced again, and this time she lept straight up, then dove down to thrust the blade into it's back once more. But that trick didn't work twice on this clever feline, and it used it's middle leg on it's left side to spin itself around, blocking her attack with it's armored underbelly then sending six sets of claws to encircle her. "Fuck!"
