Elements

Kaeor · Elements

This is a very notable and strict feature of NRC. To learn certain jutsu, you must have the elemental nature for it. Once you pick the element you want to learn then it can't be changed anymore unless through permission by one of the Administrators.

E through B rank = 1 element
A rank = 2 elements
SS rank = 3 elements

For people with a bloodline that grants you an additional element by combining two existing ones, you get that element from the start, but it predefines the elements you can have. For example, a Hyouton starts with Ice, but they must add the ones that make up Ice, which is Water and Wind, later. This means, at A rank you get either Water or Wind. At SS rank, you get an additional Element.

The five basic chakra elements have a system of superiority and inferiority. Superior elements easily overpower those inferior to them, while inferior are easily overpowered by superior ones. This may also have other effects. Below is a list of elemental relations:

Fire is weak against Water and strong against Wind. Water jutsu easily beat Fire jutsu
Water is weak against Earth and strong against Fire. Earth jutsu easily surpass Water jutsu
Earth is weak against Lightning and strong against Water. Lightning jutsu easily beat Earth jutsu
Lightning is weak against Wind and strong against Earth. Wind jutsu easily cancel Lightning jutsu
Wind is weak against Fire and strong against Lightning. Fire jutsu are boosted in power by Wind jutsu

As you can see, it makes a full circle. Now, what about elements formed by combining two existing ones by using a bloodline limit? Their elemental strengths and weaknesses are the sum of the two elements that make them. For example:

Ice element is made using Wind and Water. Wind is weak against Fire and strong against Lightning, Water is weak against Earth and strong against Fire. This means Ice is very strong against Lightning (as per Wind's strength), weak against Earth (as per Water's weakness) and has average effect again Fire (as per combining the weakness of Wind and strength of Water). However, it is also stronger than normal against Water and Wind, because both Water and Wind elements are of equal nature, but their power is combined in Ice.
Wood element is made using Earth and Water. Earth is weak against Lightning and strong against Water, Water is weak against Earth and strong against Fire. This means Wood is very strong against Water and Fire (as per Earth's and Water's strengths) and weak against Lightning and Earth (as per Earth's and Water's weakness). It is slightly stronger than normal against Wind, because both Water and Earth elements are of equal nature with Wind, but their power is combined in Wood.
