Puppet by Zhengti Miniku

Name: M-R117 "Dragon"
Rank: S
Materials:

• Titanium (40 lbs) | 30,000
  
• Heat Resistant Cloth (x2 10'x10') | 20,000
  
• Sinew (30ft) | 1000
  
• Glue (1L) | 250
  
• Rubber (10 lbs) | 250
  
• Right to Existence (x1) | 100,000
  

Weapons: The mouth of the puppet has a set of titanium teeth which are simple, sharpened daggers and the mouth can bite with the puppets strength. It also has two sets of clawed hands which, like the teeth, are essentially just titanium daggers.

Ballista |5500:

Defenses: The first layer of heat resistant cloth is wrapped around the outer body of the puppet with an extra skirting draping slightly down the lateral midway point of the body as a decorative flair. The second surrounds the inner core area which houses the main weaponry. The durable, titanium frame and external plating is quite resistant to damage, particularly blunt force trauma.

General Description: A 3 meter long serpentine puppet with a diameter of 1/3rd meter, this puppet can either slither rapidly along the ground or travel via the caterpillar tracks hidden along its underside. Its powerful teeth are quite capable of crushing and slicing enemies and it has two sets of small, four-clawed hands near the head, hidden underneath the main body of the puppet which can rend flesh with ease. The puppet itself is shaded a delicate jade color with pale, gleaming blue eyes, gold filigree, and small linings of red tasseling, giving the illusion of draconic scales and making it quite lovely to behold.

The main weapon of the puppet, the AG-002 "Ballista", is hidden within the main body of the puppet and fires from the monster's open mouth. Much of the rest of the chassis is devoted to storing the ammunition for this weapon, though a small cavity between the main core and the outer paneling leaves room to store up to 100 pounds liquid or granulated material.
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: Aside from its raw strength and teeth, the puppet has almost no ability to engage an enemy at close ranges, instead relaying on creating space and hiding to be most effective. While its body is of high craftsmanship, its focus on raw power over defenses has additionally reduced its defenses, allowing powerful blows to cause great damage. Finally, the main weapon array can fire only forward, from the mouth, and thus restraining the puppet can easily invalidate nearly all of its offensive power.
Price: 71,000 materials + 100,000 Existence




Modification Description AG-001 "MagVeins"

• A simple system of piping filled with granulated, magnetized materials, this system of small veins runs through the interior of the puppet. By manipulating the materials in these pipes the puppeteer can move the puppet as he would with the puppet technique. Also, this can double as a storage system for a small amount of iron sand. The material put into the system is typically iron fillings but can be swapped for something else, though the difference in price must be paid.

• Aluminium (20lbs) | 1500
  
• Bronze (20 lbs) | 3000
  

Weapons: A large, long contraption somewhere between a crossbow and compacted ballista, this advanced projectile model uses a collection of highly durable strands of sinew and various pulleys to launch large, destructive bolts at the enemy. These are subject entirely to the projectile rules and a puppet installed with this can only fire bolts up to the range/power/etc as its own strength would allow. A storage system is generally installed just behind the main launching apparatus or to the side/surrounding it, allowing bolts to be rapidly and easily re-filled. This storage container can store a maximum of 75 bolts, but various sorts can be contained within it.

Puppets are limited to A-tier as a cap for their Strength and Constitution, even when making an S-grade puppet.

Also, your puppet is fairly small and narrow. Three meters is barely ten feet, which is less than two people on top of each other. And a third of a meter come out to slightly wider than a metric foot. To fit a crossbow/ballistic in there along with piping and ammo seems like a far cry.


Lastly I should let you know that creating such a thing requires you to take up Misc. Crafting, Weapon Crafting, or Armor Crafting. The Kugutsu skill only allows puppet creation up to C-grade.

I thought Sand Shark would just be powered by chakra and the threads of the puppet technique. I could put a small motor on it if that makes more sense.

I have a UA to trade the S rank strength in exchange for B rank constitution.

I can make the puppet thicker if that's what you mean. But the item isn't a full fledged 6 man giant ballista, just like a big crossbow without the arms.

I can use my last skill point for a crafting discipline. If I do do I also have to craft the puppet or do I just buy it after it's approved and it's the same as having crafted it? Also does it matter if I take armor/weapon/miscellaneous for puppets or will any of them let me make these?

It's fine to be powered by chakra threads. Just be sure to specify that to have it all come together.

Same here. Specify the UA upon creation of these puppets to prevent any confusion in the future.

Ah, I understand. That's good to go, then.

Any of those crafts will allow you to make full-access puppets. When you buy the puppet parts, you need to train them like jutsu. This would be more or less assembling them.

Weapons: Each arm contains a retractable, wrist mounted blade resembling a qatar of 80 centimeters. When within the arms they are completely hidden to regular methods of viewing and can emerge with a speed equivalent to the puppet's speed. They are simple but well made, possessing the same stats as the puppet.

Aside from this the puppet relies on its small size, quick movements, and excellent craftsmanship as its primary defense. Aside from this, the puppet is modular in that all of its limbs may be freely detached and reattached by the use of chakra strings. Its body may also come apart at the waist in the same fashion.

General Description:

A short puppet of just over five feet, no expense has been spared on this weapon's craftsmanship. The outer coating of plastics, rubber, and paint look alarmingly lifelike and the white horse's hair upon the head give it a look of complete realism. For those who are in the know and, should the occasion ever arise that the puppet removes the strip of fabric covering its mouth, one would find that the puppet looks uncannily like the former Kazekage Shin. In fact, if I didn't know any better I may be tempted to say that it is his spitting image, right down to the dimensions and the almost slightly too mechanical facial expressions. The outer body is comprised of plastics and rubber while the inner portions are hollow save for the mechanisms and a titanium skeletal frame.

Contained within are, of course, its many weapons. The chest contains the Nova Machine along with wires which allow the current to run along the whole of its body as well as the weaponry the puppet contains. The Laser Mesh is contained within the puppet's head, allowing the light to be funneled out of the eyes and mouth or, if the puppeteer so chooses, the whole face can open up to allow for more beams to be emitted. The Prehensile Weave's are all arranged upon the back in five neat rows and fashioned much like a dark half-cape and the Fluid Expression sits within the main body and is piped to release from the fingers, feet, neck, or a panel on the chest.

Modification Description AG-004 "Nova Machine"
A small machine most usually placed in the center portions of the puppet, this contraption of rubber, glass, and copper wiring is roughly spherical and about eight inches in diameter. The modified transducer is housed within the center of the rigging.
Rank: A
Materials: Transducer | 5000 ryo
Insulation (2 lbs) | 100 ryo
Glass (5 lbs) | 100 ryo
Rubber (4 lbs) | 100 ryo
Copper (4 lbs) 300 ryo
Weapons: The only feature this device has is to generate a powerful electrical current throughout the main body of the puppet, particularly affecting the metallic or otherwise highly conductive portions. The current is now so powerful as to alter the strength of the puppet or increase cutting power but, instead, causes a paralytic effect when contact is made with the electrified weapon. Those with constitution lower than the item's rank will suffer 2 posts of lasting paralysis after contact is ended, those with equal constitution for one after contact is ended, and those with higher constitution will only suffer 2 minuses in speed for one post after contact is ended. Additionally, anyone with equal or lower constitution will suffer a 1 rank drop in their coordination for one post after paralysis, while those with higher constitution will suffer only a 1 minus drop.
Defenses: N/A
Stats: N/A
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: Utterly ineffective if submerged in water. Anyone with any sort of lightning resistance will have their constitution considered 2 ranks higher for defending against this.
Price: 5600 ryo


Modification Description AG-005 "Laser Mesh"
A collapsible array of glass lenses and mirrors which serve to focus and amplify the light which the center transducer produces when introduced to chakra. These each can move and swivel to bend and focus the light into many different angles, patterns, and widths of beams.
Rank: A
Materials:
Transducer | 5000 ryo
Glass (5 lbs) | 100 ryo
Plastic (4 lbs) | 50 ryo
Rubber (2 lbs) | 50 ryo
Wires (3 ft) | 200 ryo
Weapons: A weapon itself, by bending, focusing, and amplifying the light this contraption produces the puppet is able to shine a blindingly powerful collection of light beams which can be as fine as lasers or as wide as a floodlight. In any capacity, this is used in a simple attempt to blind opponents. Those who are exposed to this suffer a loss of 2 minuses to their perception for the duration of the exposure plus 1 post after. If the target has some form of ocular enhancement which does not specifically guard against harsh lights they will suffer an additional 2 minuses to their perception for the same amount of time.
Defenses: This possesses no defensive qualities but is insulated from the rugged life of puppet moving via the rubber and plastics such that it will not incidentally break due to the puppet simply running about.
Stats: N/A
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: The beams of light can be easily avoided or deflected by anything which would normally block light, including closing one's eyes. It's just regular focused light.
Price: 5400 ryo


Modification Description AG-006 "Prehensile Weave"
A thin, roughly 8 in wide strip of jade woven with fabric to create a flexible, almost chainmail-esque mesh which allows for unparalleled flexibility, enabling this limb to ensnare or pick up items or people. Additionally, the whole affair terminates in a large, bladed spike of pure ebony, about one and a half inch thicker than width of the jade weave. The blade can slash and pierce with extreme fidelity making for a deadly combination of flexibility and raw power.
Rank: A
Materials:
Sinew (15 ft) | 500 ryo
Ebony (1 lb) | 3,000 ryo
Jade (5 lbs) | 7,500 ryo
Weapons: See above
Defenses: The incredibly well-constructed weave can serve as a kind of shield.

Modification Description AG-007 "Fluid Expression"
Essentially a pressurized twin tank system with thin piping attached which can store and expel fluids, this can be used as a quick dispenser system for liquid or gaseous poisons. This can store up to two kinds of chemicals and can either shoot the the stored chemical or can simply allow it to drip slowly along the puppet.

Everything looks good for the most part but a puppet like this should probably be S Rank as opposed to A, either that or either of the states can be lowered by a tier.

Bumped to S rank.

The price will have to be increased as well. I noticed a similar error in the puppet that Masuyo approved. Dragon should be at minimum 50,000 but judging from its stat distribution (it has the max amount of Str/Con allocated to puppets) and its modifications it will need to an S Rank puppet. Since it doesn't have that it has to be unapproved. Puppets have a base price based on their complexity and that increases when you add in the materials.


Puppet Price
E: 1,000
D: 5,000
C: 10,000
B: 20,000
A: 50,000
S: 100,000


*^ This means at minimum the puppet will have to cost 100,000. Then you add in the cost of all the materials it takes to make the puppet. As it stands both Dragon and Assassin are extremely underpriced and will have to be fixed.

Fixed both

Modification Description AG-004 "Nova Machine"
A small machine most usually placed in the center portions of the puppet, this contraption of rubber, glass, and copper wiring is roughly spherical and about eight inches in diameter. The modified transducer is housed within the center of the rigging.
Rank: A
Materials: Transducer | 5000 ryo
Insulation (2 lbs) | 100 ryo
Glass (5 lbs) | 100 ryo
Rubber (4 lbs) | 100 ryo
Copper (4 lbs) 300 ryo
Weapons: The only feature this device has is to generate a powerful electrical current throughout the main body of the puppet, particularly affecting the metallic or otherwise highly conductive portions. The current is now so powerful as to alter the strength of the puppet or increase cutting power but, instead, causes a paralytic effect when contact is made with the electrified weapon. Those with constitution lower than the item's rank will suffer 2 posts of lasting paralysis after contact is ended, those with equal constitution for one after contact is ended, and those with higher constitution will only suffer 2 minuses in speed for one post after contact is ended. Additionally, anyone with equal or lower constitution will suffer a 1 rank drop in their coordination for one post after paralysis, while those with higher constitution will suffer only a 1 minus drop.
Defenses: N/A
Stats: N/A
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: Utterly ineffective if submerged in water. Anyone with any sort of lightning resistance will have their constitution considered 2 ranks higher for defending against this.
Price: 5600 ryo


Modification Description AG-005 "Laser Mesh"
A collapsible array of glass lenses and mirrors which serve to focus and amplify the light which the center transducer produces when introduced to chakra. These each can move and swivel to bend and focus the light into many different angles, patterns, and widths of beams.
Rank: A
Materials:
Transducer | 5000 ryo
Glass (5 lbs) | 100 ryo
Plastic (4 lbs) | 50 ryo
Rubber (2 lbs) | 50 ryo
Wires (3 ft) | 200 ryo
Weapons: A weapon itself, by bending, focusing, and amplifying the light this contraption produces the puppet is able to shine a blindingly powerful collection of light beams which can be as fine as lasers or as wide as a floodlight. In any capacity, this is used in a simple attempt to blind opponents. Those who are exposed to this suffer a loss of 2 minuses to their perception for the duration of the exposure plus 1 post after. If the target has some form of ocular enhancement which does not specifically guard against harsh lights they will suffer an additional 2 minuses to their perception for the same amount of time.
Defenses: This possesses no defensive qualities but is insulated from the rugged life of puppet moving via the rubber and plastics such that it will not incidentally break due to the puppet simply running about.
Stats: N/A
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: The beams of light can be easily avoided or deflected by anything which would normally block light, including closing one's eyes. It's just regular focused light.
Price: 5400 ryo


Modification Description AG-006 "Prehensile Weave"
A thin, roughly 8 in wide strip of jade woven with fabric to create a flexible, almost chainmail-esque mesh which allows for unparalleled flexibility, enabling this limb to ensnare or pick up items or people. Additionally, the whole affair terminates in a large, bladed spike of pure ebony, about one and a half inch thicker than width of the jade weave. The blade can slash and pierce with extreme fidelity making for a deadly combination of flexibility and raw power.
Rank: A
Materials:
Sinew (15 ft) | 500 ryo
Ebony (1 lb) | 3,000 ryo
Jade (5 lbs) | 7,500 ryo
Weapons: See above
Defenses: The incredibly well-constructed weave can serve as a kind of shield.

Modification Description AG-007 "Fluid Expression"
Essentially a pressurized twin tank system with thin piping attached which can store and expel fluids, this can be used as a quick dispenser system for liquid or gaseous poisons. This can store up to two kinds of chemicals and can either shoot the the stored chemical or can simply allow it to drip slowly along the puppet.

Weapons: The mouth of the puppet has a set of titanium teeth which are simple, sharpened daggers and the mouth can bite with the puppets strength. It also has two sets of clawed hands which, like the teeth, are essentially just titanium daggers.

Ballista |5500:

Defenses: The first layer of heat resistant cloth is wrapped around the outer body of the puppet with an extra skirting draping slightly down the lateral midway point of the body as a decorative flair. The second surrounds the inner core area which houses the main weaponry. The durable, titanium frame and external plating is quite resistant to damage, particularly blunt force trauma.

General Description: A 3 meter long serpentine puppet with a diameter of 1/3rd meter, this puppet can either slither rapidly along the ground or travel via the caterpillar tracks hidden along its underside. Its powerful teeth are quite capable of crushing and slicing enemies and it has two sets of small, four-clawed hands near the head, hidden underneath the main body of the puppet which can rend flesh with ease. The puppet itself is shaded a delicate jade color with pale, gleaming blue eyes, gold filigree, and small linings of red tasseling, giving the illusion of draconic scales and making it quite lovely to behold.

The main weapon of the puppet, the AG-002 "Ballista", is hidden within the main body of the puppet and fires from the monster's open mouth. Much of the rest of the chassis is devoted to storing the ammunition for this weapon, though a small cavity between the main core and the outer paneling leaves room to store up to 100 pounds liquid or granulated material.

Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: Aside from its raw strength and teeth, the puppet has almost no ability to engage an enemy at close ranges, instead relaying on creating space and hiding to be most effective. While its body is of high craftsmanship, its focus on raw power over defenses has additionally reduced its defenses, allowing powerful blows to cause great damage. Finally, the main weapon array can fire only forward, from the mouth, and thus restraining the puppet can easily invalidate nearly all of its offensive power.

Modification Description AG-001 "MagVeins"

• A simple system of piping filled with granulated, magnetized materials, this system of small veins runs through the interior of the puppet. By manipulating the materials in these pipes the puppeteer can move the puppet as he would with the puppet technique. Also, this can double as a storage system for a small amount of iron sand. The material put into the system is typically iron fillings but can be swapped for something else, though the difference in price must be paid.

• Plastic | 500
  
• Aluminium (20lbs) | 1500
  
• Bronze (20 lbs) | 3000
  

Weapons: A large, long contraption somewhere between a crossbow and compacted ballista, this advanced projectile model uses a collection of highly durable strands of sinew and various pulleys to launch large, destructive bolts at the enemy. These are subject entirely to the projectile rules and a puppet installed with this can only fire bolts up to the range/power/etc as its own strength would allow. A storage system is generally installed just behind the main launching apparatus or to the side/surrounding it, allowing bolts to be rapidly and easily re-filled. This storage container can store a maximum of 75 bolts, but various sorts can be contained within it.
Defenses: N/A
Stats: S quality
Requirements: Adequate strength to wield. Zhengti.
Weaknesses: Limited to the same restrictions as normal bows. All ammunition sold separately.
Price: 5500 (materials)

Modification Description AG-003 "Sand Shark"
Rank: C
Materials: Ebony (1lb) | 3000
Weapons: N/A
Defenses: Supplementary in nature, this device consists of a huge array of tiny shards of sharpened ebony which vibrate and spin on command. This loosens the earth the the puppet touches, allowing it to essentially swim through the ground, enabling powerful sneak attacks.
Stats: N/S
Requirements: Zhengti
Weaknesses: Purely tactical addition to a puppet. The shards cannot burrow through materials stronger than the ebony it's made of, limiting use in certain environments.
Price: 3000
