Bijuu and the Legend of the Tailed Beasts

<BLOCKQUOTE>
Since the very first dawn of the this world there have been creatures roaming the lands with unspeakable horrid power to the extent that early man dared call these creatures gods. In total there were nine of these false gods with each of these having a certain number of tails seemingly representing their rank among themselves or their status of power. The fewer the tails then the weaker the beastie was then the rest of its kind, this would be the main trait that gave these gods there name; Bijuu or The Tailed Beasts. Both the lands and these people were mere toys to be broken and manipulated with by these Bijuu; those capible of speech demanding shrines or offerings to please them.

Like sand through an hour-glass time slowly slipped by as encounters with these creatures grew rare though the false goods did make themselves known whenever they choose to do so. What had been called gods at one point were now considered devils whom strived in their own personal desires be it the power they had on man or the sacrifices of fear and carnage they were offered. Soon enough these beasts began fighting amongst eachother believing that only one among them should rule over these creatures called humans. These battles lasted months, sometimes even years, destorying everything in their path be it innocent souls or the earth itself as death and disease spread like a plague through their brawls. And then he came.... the man had no true name nor a home merely being a wandering soul doing whatever he could whenever he could.

This man marked with stark gray eyes with concentric ripple-like circles around the pupils weilded powers not unlike the Bijuu themselves. It'd be this unknown stranger who would bring light to a darkened world possessing a solution to these Bijuu yet like the monsters themselves this solution called for sacrifices. The idea was that they would bound these creatures within mortal flesh though this called for a person to sacrifice themselve to be the container of these false gods. Jinchuuriki or "power of human sacrifice" were the names given to those poor souls whom would offer themselves to save their people from the Bijuu. Some of these creatures proved to be too powerful to be sealed into a human so instead their bodies were sealed to various shrines spread across the lands. An interesting side-effect to becoming a jinchuuriki was that the huamn would gain features and faint abilities akin to those of the bijuu inside their bodies. In case these jinchuuriki grew out of control or the Bijuu somehow freedom themselves from their seals the wanderer taught the people his own abilities. This was the birth of ninjutsu, with this lone wanderer being named the Rokudou Sennin or Six Realms Sage due to his six different types of abilities.

Jinchuuriki and the Beast Within


<BLOCKQUOTE>

Long ago, when human malice and hatred thrived in the world. Powerful beings, attracted to their ferocity towards one another, came forth to feed on their energy. These beasts were known as Bijuus, or Tailed Demons. They were each powerful in and of themselves, and all came for a variety of different reasons, such as Nibi coming to fight the other Bijuus in the name of his god, Shinigami. Or the Kyuubi himself, being summoned by unknown means, to destroy and devour the other tailed beasts. Whatever their reasons, they came forth and ravaged the land and destroyed entire villages in the process. The people of the world were desperate for some kind of answer. Their prayers would soon be answered...

Soon, a man came from the darkness, one who bore soulless gray eyes that held infinite power. He was capable of wielding powers that reminisced of the gods themselves. He used his infinite power, now known as ninjutsu, and taught the world to subdue the beasts. By using techniques known as sealing jutsu, the people of the world were capable of successfully subduing and defeating the Bijuu. They used these sealing techniques to seal the large tailed beasts into places that were then called Shrines. Every tailed beast had its own shrine, and their they were held, while ninja and human culture developed. However, these prisons were incapable of lasting forever, poorly built and barely maintained, the Bijuus inevitably broke free of their prisons, and escaped back to the nether from whence they came.

After a while, the kingdom that Rinnegan had built flourished, and ninjas were commonplace throughout the world. With Ninjas, however, came war. People constructed armies and weapons of vast power and waged war on one another, wantonly slaughtering each other. Once again, human malice and the desire to destroy one another, brought the mighty tailed beasts out, in an attempt to wipe existance and start anew. However, the ninja villages had a new plan for the Bijuu. They had learned through trial and error, that the physicality of demons could be bound to humans, to create not only a prison that would last, but a powerful ninja, that fought not only with their own fervor, but the fervor of the hellish demon they were imbued with. The brave souls that bore the weight of the powerful demons, would forever be known as Jinchuuriki. In this day and age, the Bijuu were sought after to be used as weapons of mass destruction against the other nations.

Jinchuuriki, the power of human sacrifice, was not as successful a project as the villages had hoped, however. The process was not easy, and required one who was knowledgeable with sealing jutsu to an extreme level. Not only this, but the person doing the sealing, also had to be willing to give their life for this cause. The sealer would give their life to bind the soul of the demon to the host, and together they created a Jinchuuriki. These Jinchuuriki were created to be heroes and powerful warriors for their village, but the councils of the numerous village didn't expect the side effects of having a demon taking residence in your body. The Jinchuuriki's personality and body were altered by their Bijuu, and many were unable to properly control their bijuu, and began to go on violent rampages, induced by fear or anger. The men and women of many villages began to shun the Jinchuuriki, because it is hard for people to forgive and forget the Bijuu who slaughtered their family and destroyed their homes. To them, instead of seeing a person, they instead only saw a beast.

Even though some Jinchuuriki didn't meet this fate, feared or loved, they still existed as outcasts. No man or woman aside from another Jinchuuriki could understand the painful and mind altering effects of being possessed by one of the Bijuu's powerful and influencing auras. While their demon prisoners gave them immense power and the potential for great and wondrous deeds, many never learned to control their Bijuus. Those who did, however, become vastly powerful and influential in their home village.

The Mechanics!


<BLOCKQUOTE>
I know after reading the title you are all thinking, 'Thank you, Captain Exposition!' I am also sure after reading all that story line mess you are ready to learn about the mechanics of your Bijuu in combat, and how the tails system is going to work, but, hey, guess what? I've got more exposition for you! HAH!
</BLOCKQUOTE>
The Tailed Beast


<BLOCKQUOTE>

Obviously, they are called Bijuu, or tailed beasts for a very good reason. Each of them has a specific number of tails that determined their overall prestige and importance in the hierarchy of the nine. Don't take this to say that the seven tails was stronger than the five tails. The number of tails of a creature had little to do with their level of power, as Gobi was very much more powerful than Schchibi in the legend. However, for Jinchuuriki's the number of tails you have out, or what stage of transformation you are in, determines how lethal or bestial you have become. Again, don't take this to say that a beast with more tails will necessarily be more dangerous than one with less. There will be a system to help alleviate the issue of lower tailed beasts having less flexibility later. Do take note however, that Hachibi and Kyuubi are two beasts that are considered quite a bit stronger than the others and will be held to higher standards, taking this into consideration. Also, this is not meant to say that my Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is going to be outright stronger than your character. It only means that the Kyuubi itself has a higher top end level of power in regards to chakra and power output. This means that when those two Jinchuuriki reach the lofty heights of their seventh or eighth tails, they will have a higher overload of power, than other Bijuu. As you will see, however, this will matter very little in the grand scheme of things, as the fourth tail and beyond is going to be extremely difficult to unlock.
</BLOCKQUOTE>


The Prison Bars Themselves


<BLOCKQUOTE>
The type of sealing that holds your Jinchuuriki's Bijuu in is very important. It will have lasting effects on your characters personality, battle style, and overall appearance in the game. The sealing determines the level of stress put on the user, trying to maintain the prison to keep their Bijuu in, and also how much of its chakra are allowed to seep in and mix with the human host's. Your character has a choice of three sealing types, each with their own unique pros and cons.
</BLOCKQUOTE>


Crude


<BLOCKQUOTE>
A crude sealing is a makeshift seal, or the work of an inexperienced sealer. This causes the seal to be much larger than the rest of the seals, covering vast parts of the Jinchuuriki's body in tattoos representing the prison that holds the beast in. This type of sealing lets the chakra of the beast drip into the Jinchuuriki in fairly large quantities, altering their appearance and personality greatly. It also makes the Jinchuuriki much more reliant on their Bijuu for chakra, because they use so much of their own to maintain their less than proper sealing. Because they use a large portion of their own chakra to hold the seal together their own level of chakra strength, (IE the amount of chakra summonable at one time to power an attack) is rather low. This effects the techniques that they can learn and use without the aid of their Bijuu.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Appearance, personality, and combat style are heavily reliant and influenced by the Bijuu.

•Due to chakra usage for the seal it means the difficulty in learning higher level techniques is much greater without the Bijuu's chakra. This means that your character must know nine or less S to A rank techniques. Also, your number of S-rank techniques must be less than or equal to the number of A-rank ones. An example is your character can know two S ranks, and three A ranks.

•In combat, they have easy access to their Bijuu's power, meaning that in a combat thread, they can can go up the ladder of tailed transformations quite quickly. This means that they can go up one tail per post, and can skip their Jinchuuriki Form (Basic Bijuu release, before tails appear) entirely if they choose to do so. Also, achieving a partial release or total release only takes two posts from when the last tail was broken for a crude seal.

•In tailed transformations, Jinchuuriki with crude seals change entirely. Their body becomes much more feral and they will almost be forced to fight on all fours, like an animal. This means that for the most part they will be incapable of using any battle styles that use weapons or heavily rely on things like genjutsu.

•Due to their close relationship with their Bijuu, and the fact that they constantly converse, Jinchuuriki with crude seals have much milder requirements on the weaknesses of their tailed transformations. This close relationship also enables them to control much higher levels of their Bijuu's power. This makes their tailed transformations more dramatic, and gives them the distinct advantage of being able to reason and chat with their Bijuu. This allows them to use the Bijuu as if they had "Excessive Mastery" once per thread. The Excessive Mastery effect lasts for two posts.





Balanced


<BLOCKQUOTE>
A balanced seal, is one that is properly prepared and implemented fairly well. The sealing tends to be fairly average in size, covering the entirety of ones stomach, when they call forth Bijuu chakra. As the name of the sealing type leads on to believe, this a very average sealing type, balancing strength of the seal with ease of use. This is the type of sealing that most well developed nations with powerful sealing nins tend to perform. The user donates a medium amount of their chakra to maintaining the seal, and in turn, receive an average return in their ability to manipulate the chakra of their Bijuu. Their personality is altered by their Bijuu in a few things, and they tend to share one or two physical traits with their beast of choice. Their chakra strength is highly determined by their own personal level of chakra, but they do have some restrictions on jutsu due to simply having a seal at all. The seal allows them a fairly large margin for freedom in character battle style, and how their character acts.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Appearance, personality, and battle style are only marginally effected by the Bijuu. They start off rather unobtrusive, and become much more prominent as the chakra is accessed.

•While these seals are much sturdier than Crude seals, they do require a moderate allowance of chakra to maintain. This means that character will have a few restrictions on amount of powerful jutsu that they can use, though it is much less severe than a crude seal. They are capable of wielding a maximum of twelve S-rank and A-rank techniques, and the number of S-ranks must be less than or equal to the number of A-ranks.

•The access that a balanced seal has to their Bijuu's power is much more restricted, and they take a much more slow and steady approach to tail usage. This also means that they cannot skip straight from normal mode to a tailed mode in one turn, they must go into Jinchuuriki mode first. They can enter Jinchuuriki mode on any post they desire, and then can enter a one-tailed mode in the post directly after if they choose. After One-tail has broken, they can only climb in number of tails once every two posts. A partial or total release of a Bijuu takes three turns from the last tail transformation.

•In combat, the balanced seal user is usually capable of maintaining the composure of their combat style in their Jinchuurki forms. However, as more tails come out, they are still inclined to fight on all fours. Balanced seal users, however, with practice can gain much more freedom over their style of combat while using Bijuu chakra.

•In times of great danger, a balanced seal user has the ability to enter a state what is known as Bestial Desperation. Due to the lower level of communication between the Jinchuuriki and their demon, the demon sometimes takes it upon himself to impose his great power on the matter at hand, and sends the Jinchuuriki into a higher state of rage and power. This means that in a state of great danger, or life threatening situation, the balanced seal Bijuu can be pushed one tail higher than they can usually muster. Meaning that a Jinchuuriki can bring himself out of a situation that would normally kill him or her. They can wield the extra tail for three posts after it released. After this they come down off of their power high. This Bestial Desperation also harms the Jinchuuriki a great deal, being pushed past their usual limits. After the effect ends they will normally be passed out or unable to continue, and will have to be cared after by a teammate or will have to run and hide.



Fortified


<BLOCKQUOTE>
A fortified seal is the sealing done by someone who has extensive and in depth knowledge of sealing techniques. They are usually performed by villages who simply don't trust the Bijuu or what the Jinchuuriki may do. The wary village leaders use these fortified seals to suppress the effects of the Bijuu on the user, so that they don't don't go mad from the pressure of the demon, or go on a rampage as is commonplace in people who simply can't control their demon. They have little to no communication with their inner demon, and are rarely pressured by it at all. They have vast amounts of control over their Bijuu's chakra, and can use it at their own leisure. It takes an extreme amount of pressure for the Bijuu to act under its own accord, when imprisoned like this. Because of this, their seal takes very little to no chakra to maintain. This means that they have no restrictions on the jutsu that their character can wield, and are not inclined to animalistic styles of combat when under the effects of their Bijuu.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Appearance, battle style, and personality are affected very little by the Bijuu in question. They may have one or two personal or physical traits that are noticeably from their demon. Mostly, they are their own individual, however.

•Being well designed and easily maintainable, the seal requires little or no chakra allowance on the part of the Jinchuuriki. This means that they have absolutely no restrictions on the amount of S-rank and A-rank jutsu they can wield. Your only barrier is going to be the admins approval of your techniques.

•Their seal being sturdy and hard to crack, they take a very slow approach to releasing Bijuu power. Their Jinchuuriki state can be accessed at will, and can not be skipped under normal circumstances. They can access their tailed transformations once every four posts in combat. A fortified seal can not achieve a partial or total release, without the use of channeled power.

•Due to their Bijuu being suppressed greatly by their seal, releasing Bijuu chakra has little to no effect on their combat style in general. They are capable of wielding weapons and complicated ninjutsu or genjutsu just as easily as they could without being under the influence of their Bijuu. They are not egged on by their Bijuu, and are under no pressure to fight like an animal or lycanthrope.

•Due to their higher level control over their seal, the user of a fortified seal who gains experience with such things can create an effect known as Channeled Power. Once per thread, the user of a Fortified Seal can use their Channeled Power to skip a tailed transformation under five tails and go straight to the next transformation. This means you can go from normal mode, to a one tailed mode, from Jinchuuriki to two, from one to three, and from two to four. This ability has no bearing on the post count required to transform further. Use of Channeled Power lets you go straight to a total release if you are the max amount of tails for your Bijuu. (IE If you are at one tail as the Shukaku Jinchuuriki, then you can use channeled power and go straight to total release.)





Claw and Fang, Heeds my Call!



<BLOCKQUOTE>
The ability to manipulate and control your Bijuu in order to get the maximum amount of power you can squeeze out of him is what all Jinchuuriki strive to do. The amount of control over your Bijuu determines many things, such as the magnitude of power that your tails release, and how well you and your Bijuu work together to achieve a goal. A Jinchuuriki is two separate entities occupying the same space. Intelligent and experienced Jinchuuriki can use their Bijuu like a partner, using it to break powerful genjutsu, and to demand more power, in order to continue their furious, bestial assaults. In order to increase your level of Bijuu control you have to RP with me directly or one of the other staff members who approve of your RPing ability can bring it to my attention. I will consult all the other admins about your desire to increase your power, and you will also be required to RP at the level you are currently at for at least a month before even being considered for Bijuu mastery increase.
</BLOCKQUOTE>

Low Control


<BLOCKQUOTE>
This is reserved for younger or inexperienced Jinchuuriki. Those who don't have the proper strength or practice to control the tailed beast inside them. Low Control is signified by common loss of control when releasing Bijuu chakra, and low caps on the amount of power they can handle before going berserk. Those with Low Control often have balanced or fortified seals, because those types of seals favor Jinchuuriki's who choose to shun their Bijuu of question. Jinchuuriki with Low control, often can not demand power from their Bijuu, instead it is gifted to them in times of need. Take note, that some Bijuu's start out with Low Control due to their relative power, or demeanor.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Can control no more than one tail without becoming completely uncontrollable. If they get pushed beyond one tail by any reason or special seal ability, then they immediately become highly volatile. Remember, when you are at your maximum controllable tails, you will be very hostiile towards anyone and anything. You can't guarantee your allies safety, and should be pretty much openly destroying anything that gets in the way.

•Can not use their Bijuu to break any genjutsu above D rank. Their relationship with the demon in question is too weak for this.

•Can not demand power from their Bijuu at all, the Bijuu will not respect them enough to listen.





Average Control


<BLOCKQUOTE>
Intermediate or experienced Jinchuuriki commonly fall in this category. They are capable of demanding power from their Bijuu every so often, and have a personable enough relationship to use him like a partner under certain conditions. They can control much more power than the Low Control users.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Can control up to three tails naturally in most cases, however, a fourth tail can be brought out by special seal abilities and they can still control it. Any more than four tails and they will be expelled from combat immediately. Also, users with Average Control can release a partial release of their Bijuu if it has one. Remember, when you are at your maximum controllable tails, you will be very hostiile towards anyone and anything. You can't guarantee your allies safety, and should be pretty much openly destroying anything that gets in the way.

•Can use their Bijuu as a partner to break Genjutsu B rank and under. Their relationship with their Bijuu is considered impersonal at best, and he probably only helps them out of pity or his own amusement.

•Can demand more power from their Bijuu once per battle. This increases their strength and speed to twice the normal levels for the post that they demand the power. This can not be done on the same post that they go into a higher tailed transformation.





High Control


<BLOCKQUOTE>
Very experienced users with a solid relationship with their Bijuu can be considered in High Control of their Bijuu. They are capable of demanding power from their Bijuu much more often than their less fortunate counterparts. They can also control more tails than the lower levels of control.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•Can control up to five tails naturally, in most cases. Anything passed five tails though, is very hard for any normal human body to handle. Also, a user with High Control can release the total release of their Bijuu, if it has one. Remember, when you are at your maximum controllable tails, you will be very hostiile towards anyone and anything. You can't guarantee your allies safety, and should be pretty much openly destroying anything that gets in the way.

•Can use their partner to break high leveled genjutsu such as Tsukyomi, from the Uchiha Clan. You can only break one S-ranked Genjutsu per thread, however. Which means if the opponent uses a Tsukyomi level technique again, you are stuck in it.

•Can call upon and demand power from their tailed beast once per battle. This demand of power increases their physical capabilities by twice their normal limits for that tailed form. This can not be used in the same post that you change to a higher tail.





Excessive Control


<BLOCKQUOTE>
This level of control is only accessible by those with a Crude Sealing. This is because those who wield a crude seal have a direct relationship with their Bijuu. Jinchuuriki with this kind of seal often come to consider their Bijuu a friend or even a brother. This level of friendship between host and demon is what gives them the ability to channel this sudden burst of power. The effects of Excessive control fade after the post they are used in is over.
</BLOCKQUOTE>



•When under the effects of Excessive Control the user can demand power from their Bijuu at an extraordinary level, increasing their power and speed by triple the usual amount. This uses one of the times that they can demand power, per thread. If the user originally had Low Control, they receive a doubled increase in strength and speed, instead of the full effects.

•This allows them to break an extra S-rank Genjutsu over other Jinchuuriki, while they are in this state of rage.

•As previously stated in the Seal section, this can only be used once per battle. Also, after the effects of Excessive control wear off, they go back to one tail below what they were at when they decided to use this burst of strength.
