Valen's Updates

Bloodline:

Truth’s Gaze {500 exp} (Locked)
Knowing a person's intent is paramount to passing judgement upon them. Guided by years of training and the influence of their ancestors the members of the Fisei Clan are especially adept at knowing the true intentions of those they interact with. The true power of this ability is not always active however, if it were it is doubtful any they spent enough time with would survive their wrath. This gives the Fisei Clan the confidence to say that they always know when someone is lying.

Virtuous Ardor {750 exp} (Locked)
The term ‘Fire in their Blood’ is used unironically within the Fisei Clan. The ardor with which they approach all situations lends them an intensity that is difficult to miss. The Fisei are naturally attuned to the Element of Fire and as such are able to manipulate it with ease. All techniques that they use which include both Katon and Kenjutsu in the same technique are applied at 1 Rank higher for the purpose of determining Power.

Ancestral Strength {1000 exp} (Unlocked)
The history of the Fisei Clan is steeped in combat. They are almost always the first to battle and they stay to defend until either combat is concluded or there are none left standing. Through devotion and reverence to their Ancestors the Fisei Clan members are able to draw on their Strength and Endurance to aid them. This equates to a permanent ++ (2 advantages) to Constitution and a 1 tier boost to Strength. This is considered a generic boost and follows all rules associated with Stat Boosting and Stacking order.

Description: Chakra Flow refers to both the flowing of chakra through an object. Generic Chakra Flow simply increases the weapon's Durability OR Hardness by +1 rank. By channeling in different elements this also influences the effects by changing the nature of the chakra flow. (Note: elemental chakra flow also carries over the +1 tier for Durability/Hardness from the original technique.)

Earth: Turns the blade into a deep black. Increases grade or hardness by +1 rank (so basically +2 ranks on hardness/grade or +1 rank in each.)

Fire: Ignites the blade in fire. B-rank Fire damage and spreading fire on contact.

Lightning: Creates sparks along the chakra flow. C-rank Lightning damage and numbness in the affected area. (-1 advantage to Coordination for two posts.)

Wind: Causes the chakra flow to grow in size. B-rank Wind cutting potential and a longer chakra extension (up to 3 feet.)

Water: Encases the blade in a thick skin of water flowing either away or towards the user. Reduces the opponent's Strength of their swing on contact by -1 tier as well as pushes their attack in the direction of the water current with B-tier Strength.

Name: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C

Activation Cost: 5

Speed: C++ v1 | B v2
Element: Fire
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: N/A
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger
Description: A technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire and expelled from the mouth either as a massive orb of roaring flame or as a continuous flame-thrower. The scope of the attack is altered by controlling the volume of chakra that is mustered. The released flames will engulf their target, and leave a crater in the ground's surface.

Version 1.) When released as a continuous flamethrower, this technique creates a widespread stream of flames, expanding out 25 meters in front of the user. It moves at B-tier speed and possesses the same power as normal, but can be maintained for a small cost to do consistent burn damage overtime, should something remain in it's range.

Version 2.) When released as a projectile, the technique fires off a broad sphere of flames, moving at C++ speeds. Upon impacting something the sphere detonates into a ten-meter fire bomb burning anyone in contact with the flames. Once passing 100 meters, the fireball fizzles out.

Hand Seals: Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger
Description: This technique creates a volley of sixteen small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled individually with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra. For the most part, however, this technique is used as a distraction. The control of individual fireballs is done at the two tiers below the user's Coordination.

Simple Grace Period change, I'm going to be taking back the skill trade I did at creation. This will cost me 500 experience. I'll be taking off Virtuous Ardor, which costs 750.

That'll put me at 250/950.

With that done, since I have 250 left over sitting around, I'm just going to go ahead and take it off the exp debt to bring it down to 700 which will put me at 0/700. Rather than 250/900.

I'll then be using the skill point I regained to obtain weapon crafting.

5 Posts with Haruko in the second topic which is a flashback for Valen now too as such, claiming the 50 exp from up to that point to make it easier for me later.

150 + 50 = 200 Exp. This will put Val at 605/700

Also finishing up the crafting I started which since the rule change will give me 150 experience as well.

This will put me at 135/835. Since my debt will be eliminated thanks to that.
In the post of my crafting I state Val will denote his materials and C rank swords to the shop so I'll be removing the iron, titanium, and C grade weapons back since I won't use them otherwise.

Taking advantage of the free reset due to the crafting changes to get rid of weapon crafting and instead trade in that skill point.

Puts me at 635/835.
