Name: The Curse of Bone
Requirements: None
Description: Those bearing this Curse must eat human bone marrow in order to survive. Like all Cursed, reavers regain strength and heal quickly when consuming the according "body essence", in their case, bone marrow. Unfortunately for them, it is hard to reach in field conditions, so they usually have to take a human or a fresh corpse somewhere they can work in peace. However, it was this same reason that allowed them to remain completely undetected by humans despite being easier to trace than banshees.
Reavers are between vampires and banshees when it comes to balance of physical and mental strength. All their senses are a bit increased when compared to a human's, but not to the extent a vampire's are. Strangely enough, they are unperceptive to genjutsu techniques that restrict movement. For reasons unknown, those bearing this Curse are unable to use summoning animals: their blood simply flows off contract scrolls as if they were metal, the only exception being the special clan scroll.
Unlike all other Cursed, reavers cannot spread the curse "normally". This means that someone can be turned into a reaver only through a ritual, either a turning one or a curse switching one. However, the causes of this are the same as with the Curse of Blood or Flesh: a week-long illness. Interestingly enough, this makes it impossible for those not born as reavers to have Pure Blood if they possess a bloodline, because the ritual specifically does not erase it from one's genotype, unless they go through a more complicated process.

Name: Telepathy: Reaver
Requirements: None
Description: This is an ability shared by all Cursed. It refers to the ability to establish a mental link between two cursed, thus "talking" instantaneously and without using actual words. They are also able to send messages to common people, though the latter would be unable to respond in this manner. These messages may include actual words, so that the receiver would hear the sender's voice in their head, a sequence of images or associations or just general emotions and feelings on a matter. They can also sense any Cursed within their sending range, unless the latter are suppressing their aura, thus hiding their presence.
However, reavers are still able to sense werewolves who are covering their presence. The power of a reaver's telepathy is enough to have additional uses. For example, reavers can sense any human within half their sensing range, so it is impossible to surprise them, and they can tell most clones created by ninja techniques from the real person. They can also amplify their sending when using visualization or emotions, which can be used to instill fear or a particular thought indirectly into a human.
The distance is 150 feet for E-rank reavers, 825 feet for D-rank, 1500 feet for C-rank, 3000 feet for B-rank, 5250 feet for A-rank, 7500 feet for S-rank and 11250 feet for SS-rank. If sending to a Cursed you don't know personally, the distance is cut in half, and to send to a human you don't know closely, you must have them in sight or within one tenth the normal distance. In addition, when communicating with one's clones, the distance is unlimited.
All Cursed have the ability to find another anywhere in the world, but they must know the person in question rather well and they'll only know which way to go towards them. Reavers can also tell if they are alive. This will not work if the one you're trying to find is hiding their presence, but werewolves are unable to block this ability used by a reaver.

Name: Cursed Power: Reaver
Requirements: Pure Blood
Description: Pure Blood reavers have greater constitution than common human beings. Their strength is 30% higher and their bodies heal a bit better. In addition to that, their scaled skin provides some light defense in the passive state.

Name: Soulforging
Requirements: Pure Blood
Description: Reavers have always been the master artisans of the Cursed, and one of the most demanded areas of their craftsmanship was, naturally, weapon craft. In this they are without match across the world, and the secrets to their great creations are protected like nothing else. It is not known how they can create weapons of legendary power, but it is known that their weapons may possess the abilities of their fallen enemies. That is done by using the enemy's soul in the forging process, for which the reavers need to either ask the banshees for help or use Soul Traps.
This ability allows reavers to create custom weapons with power beyond other weapons of the same rank, and these weapons may have special powers reminiscent of a special ability or a bloodline of a dead character. However, it is required to have a role-play thread (or several) which shows how you acquired that soul. The forging itself must be done in character like kinjutsu training. The amount of points you need to make a weapon of a certain rank equals ("Difficulty Rating"/"Skill Rating").
Difficulty rating is 5 for C rank or below weapons, 10 for B rank weapons, 15 for A rank and 20 for S rank. Skill rating is 1 for Adept, 2 for Noble, 3 for Royal and 4 for Master and Lord. Acolytes and Neophytes cannot create weapons this way. Royal and Master Reavers may also reforge a weapon: in this case, the amount of points necessary for its creation is reduced by half of what it would take to create the old version. For example, a Royal is trying to reforge a B-rank weapon into an A-rank. He would need (15/3 - 10/(3x2)) = 3.33 points instead of 5. However, it can only be used to upgrade a weapon, meaning it can gain some new powers, which must stay true to the weapon's concept, or the old ones may become stronger, but the old powers cannot be removed. Â This ability can be used to create other items, unseen and unheard of, which may not be weapons at all.


Name: Jade Form
Requirements: Pure Blood; B rank for Stage I, A rank for Stage II, S rank for Stage III.
Description: Jade Form is the transformation ability of Pure Blood reavers, though it works somewhat differently than one would expect. It has several stages, but rather than the changes becoming more apparent with each stage, turning the reaver less and less human, it is just the opposite, and makes the reaver look more human than they usually do at the highest stage. Another interesting detail is, they do not gain additional techniques while in this form, but instead lose the ability to use some they normally can. Unlike common ninja transformation or the shape shifting technique, it does not involve a puff of smoke, and while just as fast, can be seen through the process.


   * Stage O: This is the zero stage of the transformation, in other words, when it is completely inactive and the reaver is in their common form.

Name: Master's Touch (Katana)
Requirements: N/A
Description: Either through diligent training or an in born knack, many individuals show unrivaled power with a single type of weapon. This special ability allows you to fight with a single type of weapon as if your taijutsu fighting style was one higher. This doesn't let you learn taijutsu you wouldn't be able to, though it may allow you to learn a style you couldn't. This can be taken once for three different weapons, or twice for one weapon. Alternatively, if you have a special weapon that has multiple forms or uses, it only applies to that weapon rather than all weapon of it's type.

[E-Rank Jutsus]

[spoiler]
Name: Bunshin no Jutsu - Clone Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance. The copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent. As soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.

Name: Henge no Jutsu - Transformation Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents. However, it does not grant one the properties of said objects or skills of that person, meaning turning into a weapon will not allow you to cut an opponent and turning into a dog will not give you a great sense of smell.
This technique can also be used in conjunction with someone, who may a person, a pet or a summoning creature, in which case it is called Konbi Henge (Combination Transformation). However, its principles remain the same.

Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Body Substitution Technique
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: E (Basic)
Requirements: None
Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack. Naturally, it won't work with another person unless their skill gap is enormous, and the object to replace oneself with must be close in size and weight to the ninja themselves. This technique must be set up a little ahead when fighting skilled opponents, otherwise, you may end up getting struck because you wouldn't have enough time to use it.

Name: Shape Shift: Reaver
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: D
Requirements: None
Description: A technique shared by all Cursed to some extent, it allows one to transform into animals or other forms. Only letting the user transform into small, unsuited for combat animals at first, this technique grows in power as the one with the Blood does. When transforming into an animal, the user gains all of the animal's traits. The transformation is performed at will.
Unlike the other Cursed, reavers can transform into lizards or turtles, which are not mammals. While better protected, they have less attack options. Starting at relatively small sizes, the transformed forms grow to abnormally large, roughly equivalent to a tiger lizards and turtles by
A rank. At S rank, they grow even bigger, lizards get hard scales and turtles get spiked shells. At SS rank their size increases even more, the turtle's shell becomes densely covered in large spikes and lizards also get small spikes on their scales. Pure Blood reavers gain another ability which is accessed through this technique and is pretty much the focus of the Curse: Jade Form
