• 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. 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.
  
  Setsuna's appearance in Jade Form is reminiscent of ruby, only a much darker bloody color.
  
  • 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.
    
  • Stage I: The first stage of the transformation looks the least like human. The reavers grows in size considerably, becoming about 50% taller, and their build changes to emphasize upper body. Even more apparent is that they become pretty much like their construct summons - living rock statues, though with usually crude edges. Their exact appearance, meaning what they seem to be made of, may differ from nondescript rock to common stones to semi-precious stones to precious stones, though it is only a visual difference and it cannot be adjusted by the reaver. This form grants good protection much like Jade Armor, meaning it restores 20% of the chakra from enemy's ninjutsu attack to the reaver, with E-rank ninjutsu completely drained and thus negated, while reducing the damage they take from all kinds of attacks by 30% and completely negating weak physical ones. Naturally, they become much much heavier, so it is harder to move them. Their physical strength increases by 400%, but their speed and agility drop 35%.
    
  • Stage II: In the second stage, reavers become more human-looking again. They return to their natural size and look as if they used Caparace at the highest possible level: with large edged scales - with color of the scales differing the same way as with the previous stage, in other words, they may look as if they were made of any kind of stone. It should probably be noted that the color scheme is the same for different stages of one reaver. In this form, all the damage they take is reduced by 40%, weaker physical attacks are completely negated and they still drain 20% of the chakra from enemy ninjutsu that hits them, with D-rank or below ninjutsu completely drained and thus negated. Though they are not much heavier than normal, they ignore 65% of the force behind each attack, meaning it is still very hard to move them. Their physical strength increases by 400%, in other words, remains the same as at Stage I, but they do not lose their natural speed or agility.
    
  • Stage III: The third and final stage of Jade Form, it makes the reaver more human-looking than they normally are, though it only means that their scaly skin becomes plain human to the touch and in appearance. However, this form is still visible by transparent energy, which has the same color scheme as the scales of the reaver in previous form, that surges around them. While they appear the least protected, it is quite the opposite in actuality. All damage a reaver in this form takes is reduced by 50%, weaker physical attacks are completely negated and they drain 25% of the chakra from enemy ninjutsu that hits them, with C-rank or below ninjutsu completely drained and thus negated. They weigh actually a little bit less than normal, because their skin losses thickness and is no longer made of chitin while retaining its light defensive qualities, but they ignore 100% of the force behind each attack, meaning their movement cannot be changed forcefully, and physical attacks are stopped dead. The reaver's physical strength increases by 400% in this stage, meaning it stays the same as at Stage I and II, but their speed and agility increases 35%.
