Eight Gates
The Eight Gates (Hachimon) are eight specific Tenketsu upon a person's Chakra Pathway System. They limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the Eight Gates comes from the body's limits on the functions that transpire within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon by constantly going at full-tilt. By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates, allowing the user to superass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their body.
Bonus: Possessing the Taijutsu Skill will reduce the EXP Costs by 50%.
Bonus 2: Boosts to stats granted by each gates stack with each other cumulatively. Increases to total Chakra Points also increases the Maximum CP.

3rd Gate: Gate of Life (Seimon)Third Gate is located in the spine and increase the user's heart rate and thus increases the blood flow in their body to it's natural limit. This skin turns red and releases a small burst of chakra around the user upon initially opening. The user's hair is raised as a result of opening this gate as the air pressure constantly exerted around the user pushes it away from their head. Their eyes turn white with their pupils vanishing, giving the user a somewhat surreal appearance. With this gate open, the pain experienced by the user is tremendous for an average human to handle.- Cost: 300 EXP

Due to increased blood-flow in the body, most severe injuries will stop bleeding within 1 or 2 posts (depending on severity). While small wounds will heal within a post, particularly severe damage (such as direct trauma to an internal organ or severed limb) will take 2 posts to stop bleeding.

6th Gate: Gate of Joy (Keimon)This is located in the stomach, providing another burst of power to the user.

Once this gate is opened, there is no turning back. The only outcome of using this technique is death for the user, making it a very potent technique. The amount of power granted is far greater than the previous seven gates. The user's Chakra Pool is fully refreshed. Their blue aura turns red as their blood begins to boil out of their skin from their chakra, giving them the appearance of a demon.- Cost: Gained upon gaining 7th Gate.

The maximum that the boosts can become is X++ (only attainable with base S Rank in a stat). Any damage already done to the user is erased and the 'Counter' begins again upon activating the Eighth Gate. Those who utilize the Gate of Death are capable of fighting on the level of Bijuu. This Gate cannot be learned in the traditional way.
Drawbacks: The taxation of the body is inflicted as soon as the Gates are opened -- with damage varying based on how far the muscles are being pushed. As each Gate takes the body a step further, each one causes more damage than the last (which is represented by (-) that is applied to Strength, Speed, and Constitution of the user as soon as the gates are closed). Each Gate Beyond the First: Each Gate beyond the first adds an additional (-) to that penalty up to a maximum of 7 (-) or -2(-) Tiers with the 7th Gate opened.THE EIGHTH GATE WILL CAUSE DEATH WITHIN A ROUND OF THE GATE CLOSINGDuration of the Gates: Damage can be fought off for as long as the Gates are open, but their duration is determined by the user's BASE Constitution. For each Tier in Constitution the user has, the user can keep the gate open for 2 posts. - Constitution: E: Can have Gates open for 2 Posts before Gates close.
- Constitution: D: Can have Gates open for 4 Posts before Gates close
- Constitution: C: Can have Gates open for 6 Posts before Gates close
- Constitution: B: Can have Gates open for 8 Posts before Gates close
- Constitution: A: Can have Gates open for 10 Posts before Gates close:
- Constitution: S: Can have Gates open for 12 Posts before Gates close
Recovery: Once the damage takes effect (once the gates are closed), it will impair the user's stats until recovery takes place. Recovery happens over the course of IRL days. - Every 4 IRL Days will cure a single (-) from all effected stats
Recovery is only for the effects from using the Gates. So if someone opened up 7 gates, they will need to spend 7x4=28 Days to recover. Time can be cut in half if the character is seeking medical attention with another PC. IE: If another player is tending to their wounds. That person being someone with Ijutsu. Entering Combat will end this bonus and the character will need to be treated again to resume it. |
