Name: Hachimon - Eight Celestial Gates
Type: Taijutsu (K)
Rank: Varies
Requirements: Vary
Description: Part of the chakra circulatory system of the human body are eight valve kind of formations, responsible for regulating the flow of chakra inside the body. These valves are referred to as Hachimon or Eight Celestial Gates, and there are special techniques that exist for controlling them. Normally, they let chakra through at a constant safe rate, but one can forcefully open them to use the body's full potential for a short period of time. Naturally, it gives the user a great power boost, but it also pushes them past all safeguards, wearing their body down a great deal. Each gate grants one more and more power, but the damage done to their body increases as well. To open a specific gate, one has to open all the ones that are numbered lower.
Spoiler:
Name: Kaimon - Opening Gate
Rank: B
Requirements: None
Description: First of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located in the left hemisphere of the brain, and releases brains limits over the muscles of the body, allowing one to use their full strength. This increases their strength five times, but strains the muscles a lot.
Name: Kyuumon - Rest Gate
Rank: B
Requirements: Kaimon - Opening Gate
Description: Second of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate releases the brain's limit on the body's stamina, making a battle-worn person become miraculously ready to fight as if the fight had just started. This drains their long-term stamina a lot, and will make them have to rest for a long time afterwards.
Name: Seimon - Life Gate
Rank: A
Requirements: Kyuumon - Rest Gate
Description: Third of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located at the top of the spine. When one opens this gate, it releases the limit on the nervous and blood circulation systems, which makes information travel at a faster rate and increases their speed and agility two times. As a side effect, the user's skin turns red, indicating an increased blood flow speed. This drains mental energy and puts a strain on the user's lungs and blood circulation system.
Name: Shoumon - Wound Gate
Rank: A
Requirements: Seimon - Life Gate
Description: Forth of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located at the middle of the spine, and when opened, releases the limit on oxygen intake in the lungs, creating much more oxygen for the body to use, somewhat reducing the strain on the lungs and increasing the user's stamina. However, it further strains the blood circulation system. It also shuts off the pain receptors in the brain, allowing one to ignore injuries for the most part. However, it also slows the rate at which the body heals afterwards, because the brain cannot properly react to the damage the body took.
Name: Tomon - Limit Gate
Rank: A
Requirements: Shoumon - Wound Gate
Description: Fifth of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located along the spine, just below the forth. It releases the limit on the amount of chakra released at one time. It allows the user to force chakra into their muscles to further double their speed, strength and agility. However, doing so highly increases the strain on the muscles as well, and without exercising caution, one could rip their own muscles.
Name: Keimon - View Gate
Rank: S
Requirements: Tomon - Limit Gate
Description: Sixth of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located along the spine, just below the fifth. When opened, this gate removes the limit on how much fat and proteins the intestines can digest, and releases otherwise useless energy resources, giving the user the even more stamina. Naturally, this puts a high strain on all the organs and will result in undernourishment later on.
Name: Kyoumon - Wonder Gate
Rank: S
Requirements: Keimon - View Gate
Description: Seventh of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located at the bottom of the spine. It removes the limit on how fast the body can move, removes wastes from dead skin cells to feces, and gives the body a much cleaner system to work with. This further increases the user's speed by half and results in less fatigue, but puts extreme strain on the whole body, especially the liver and kidneys.
Name: Shimon - Death Gate
Rank: S
Requirements: Kyoumon - Wonder Gate
Description: The final gate of the Eight Celestial Gates. This gate is located at the heart. Opening this gate uses up all of the body's energy. It makes the heart pump at maximum power and exceeds the power of every other gate. All the energy in every individual cell is used up, giving the user incredible power and increasing their speed, strength and agility two times yet again. However, after opening the gate, the user will surely die, since it basically burns up all of their body's resources for maximum energy output.
You only need to make a 2-point kinjutsu training for every new gate, and additional 2 points for continuing. This means learning the first three gates in one topic would take 6+2+2=10 points, but you may choose to learn the first two in one topic and the third in a separate one. In that case, the total training would be 6+2=8 points in the first topic and 2+2=4 points in the second one, 2 for the gate and 2 for continuation penalty
Note that each Gate counts as a separate jutsu, except the first one which you learn among with the main jutsu. This means all eight gates will take eight jutsu slots. However, the gates only count as one jutsu of your maximal rank, meaning a D rank character who can only have 1 B rank jutsu can still have the first two gates as long as they have sufficient open slots. Also note that these jutsu only give you the ability to open the specific gates, to actually open them you must have a special jutsu that forces them open, like Front Lotus (1 gate), Reverse Lotus (3 gates) or Asa Kujaku (6 gates).
There is also a strict time limit on how long each gate can be used, expressed via a point system. Depending on the user's rank, they have a different amount of points, and each gate requires a different amount of points per post to be used. Once that amount reaches zero, the character is forcefully returned back to normal, receiving the full side effects of using the gates. They can end it at will before the points run out, and in that case receive only a percentage of the side effects equal to how much points they have used of their maximum. The amount of points a character has depends on their taijutsu skill, since higher taijutsu skill implies more endurance all-around, and is as follows:
Taijutsu Minor: D rank - 10; C rank - 15; B rank - 22; A rank - 30; S rank - 40; SS rank - 50
Taijutsu Major: D rank - 15; C rank - 22; B rank - 30; A rank - 40; S rank - 52; SS rank - 65
Taijutsu Specialist: D rank - 20; C rank - 30; B rank - 40; A rank - 50; S rank - 65; SS rank - 80
The amount of points each Gate uses per post is as follows:
1st - 5; 2nd - 8, restores 10 up to 130%; 3rd - 12; 4th - 17, restores 20 up to 170%; 5th - 23; 6th - 30, restores 30 up to 210%; 7th - 38, restores 40 up to 250%; 8th - 47, restores 60 up to 300%, but always kills user when it ends
As you can see, some Gates restore points. This only happens when they are opened for the first time in a thread, and the final amount cannot exceed a certain number based on the starting one for a character of that rank and taijutsu skill. To avoid confusion, the points are added at the start of the post when you release the gate and subtracted at the end
I'd like to learn the gates with my character Nobody.
1: He's a Taijutsu specalist and it would greatly benifit him to do so.
2: It will help me beat the pants off thes midnight shadow guys.
3: I'd like to use this for the good of the Kumo ^^
Xarnt
Denied for now.
The strength and speed of a warwuflle is already incredibly OP.
To get the gates ontop of that would require an incredibly good reason.
