Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm going to be honest with you, as much as I love seeing Physic-Based Techniques implemented into the RP, especially this genre. Your specific technique as of this moment, I'm not going to approve it because it's honestly A LOT.

Following.

While I can get by the concept of pulling a pseudo-Schwarzschild radius concept, I would prefer it greatly if you just stuck with what a Kaguya can effectively do and not diverge greatly from that.

Okay ridden of Kaguya

Yes, I understand the potential of compressing ones own bones to pull off such a feat, but that doesn't mean its something that should be allowed for balance reasons, the technique you're requesting for approval?

Following

Not balanced in the slightest, SS-rank has zero drawbacks whatsoever, nausea? That's nothing in comparison to being able to basically destroy an entire village at your leisure, with effectively, zero methods of stopping such an attack.

I placed this limit:
After using this SS-Ranked ability; the user's body becomes severely weak from the the stress that the space vacuum places on the user all at once. As a result their stats are reduced to 1/4 of their max capacity for a week as their body will be in a frail state preventing the use of S-SS Rank gravity based techniques..

This drawback always existed:
If the host moves while using this ability, then the downtime to generate this technique starts over.

At A-rank its more than capable of massacring practically anybody, if it can handle a Bijuu, nobody is surviving that level of firepower.

I made A-Rank twirl buildings which is smaller than biju, (its in bold) but it can still pull the feet from under a biju momentarily.

As it stands, I won't be approving this and I apologize for that, you are free to take this to another Crew and see if they're willing to compromise, but that is just my own personal stand on it.

Nah, I like your diplomacy.

I would prefer it if things are kept on an even playing field to allow for some level of balance, not trying to have everyone casually throwing nukes and black holes left and right like it's Black Friday.

I hear you

The issues in my reason behind not approve this still remains, these techniques on the Offensive means are still lacking a Balance behind them.

Is that what you meant when you initially said, "I'm not going to approve it because it's honestly A LOT."? If so I did not get the message at the time you said that. Following and will work on it since my A-Ranked version still looks a bit powerful to me too. I might need to review the ranks again since the guild standards changed. I had based my techniques on the techniques created during that era.



Effectively, nobody is going to be able to go up against a Blackhole with their own Strength/Ninjutsu when the force can basically pull and ******** anyone's life up, that is, by far, the biggest issue that I currently have with this as Gravitational Abilities can be extremely difficult if not properly manage.

Let me try to find a balance, since I know I listed the strength in regards to size as opposed to resistance levels though I will explain how to resist this technique. I should make it clear on what techniques or qualities give an edge since this a bit deep for a technique.



These aren't properly managed, they don't have actual counters, they don't really show an actual weakness that can potentially be exploited.

I am not sure how to interpret this because the techniques sole function is to create a vacuum, so the only thing one would do is resistance or dodge this vacuum. I don't know what you are looking for in terms of weakness since the focus would be on what area you occupy during this technique's initiation [ placement, position, kinesthetics, power/defense, offense/power ]. In addition how you respond to the gradual build up which also serves as the indicator is a big factor when it comes to dodging this technique. I had to add a gradual build up and hand gestures or handseals for this technique, so I made it into Taijutsu since it would be gestures which is why I made the clan/bloodline based off kinesthetics.
Kinaesthetics is the study of body motion, and of the perception of one's own body motions. Kinesthesis is the learning of movements that an individual commonly performs. The individual must repeat the motions that they are trying to learn and perfect many times for this to happen. Many people say that kinesthesis is muscle memory but it is not true because your muscles can’t actually remember anything, it is the proprioceptors giving the information from your muscles to your brain.



I could barely argue that one can try sticking themselves to the ground in order to resist the Gravitational Pull, but no, the ground under is likely going to get pulled off.



As for lifting ground... That I might not be able to do because it actually would lift the ground at a certain rank, but let's revisit that after the edits since that may make a difference. I might add to the description limits on lifting the ground since I never really intended to do such damage at lower ranks. Maybe grass, moderately tight bolted items, and loose soil, for like C rank and progress gradually. I do expect significant ground lift to some degree using the B-rank version though since B-rank techniques can lead to casualties.



Even at the lowest rank, this thing shows no actual weakness to be mentioned and it generally falls into that and brings that question up. "What is its actual weakness, can you effectively go up against this?"



However, I do think my A-Rank should be reduced in power again since most A-Ranks are unlikely to be that destructive. Maybe the strength could reduce buildings due to correlation but maybe not take them down due to causation. That I can edit.



I should separate the techniques so you see the progression and start naming my techniques instead of being lazy. Give me a moment to lay everything out properly this time, since it might clear up a few things ...most definitely.



These are all Omnidirectional which also makes it even worse and even more difficult for me to actually want to approve this due to a history of Overly unstoppable Techniques being approved left and right, Characters that were effectively unstoppable to their kits and that's something that I, and I sure hope everyone else, can try to understand and help prevent.



So, I want you to work on this a bit more because this isn't a Balance Technique, work on giving it a Weakness and better Limitation, an all-around Omnidirectional Technique isn't always okay and even worse on this particular style of Technique. You're free to check out other Custom Techniques to get an idea on what We mean by Balancing and Counters/Weaknesses.

I apologize for the late message, I'm not sure if Colby informed you of this or not but I believe I can figure out a way to help approve your Gravity-based Techniques. This can also be done while maintaining the Taijutsu application if you're willing to comply, the only thing that I will ask of you to remove is the implication of Black Hole, at least for this moment until we can gauge out if this is balance and performing properly.



For now, I feel it would be easier to stray away from High-Ranking Techniques since at the moment, Techniques S-rank and SS-rank are restricted from D-rank RPC's, so we'll be working with things E-rank through A-rank for the moment. The main thing I feel you might enjoy is the concept of altering how Gravity influences certain things, naturally, gravity tends to pull things "down" towards the "center"



Working from E-rank through C-rank, you can have a Technique can affect how the user is influenced by Gravity, when utilizing it on themselves they can, in practice, visually appear to be falling "sideways" or floating. As you know I'm a big believer of Limitation on Techniques, generally, this would ONLY affect your RPC but if you'd like to affect other Characters I would request that physical contact to be required by utilizing the hands at a bare minimum. You are free to use this on objects without the need to physically touch them as to mimic a sort of pseudo-telekinesis. These techniques under that category generally won't classify as Nin-Taijutsu, just supplementary Techniques.



Offensively, from E-rank to A-rank, you can have techniques that can further manipulate how Gravitational Forces function, more high-ranking Techniques will be a bit more complicated; I am willing to help but I'd have to refresh my memory on Physics and all that, had to tone it down since the Crew had trouble.... Understanding certain things revolving Magnetism/Electromagnetism/ and general Quantum Electrodynamics.



Not to sidetrack, offensive usage from E-rank to A-rank can involve things such as artificial mass around the user's limb, generally allowing for hits to feel heavier and thus stronger by increasing the pulling force around the limb. Attacks such as an Axe-kick can be several times strong by using this sort of Technique. This can also be used on another Character by making their limbs feel heavier, again, physical contact by hands at a bare minimum would be required.



Temporary Anti-Gravity fields can also be possible, but these should be at a small radius, you can also apply the Black Hole suction capabilities into that sort of technique; for example, causing your opponents to levitate off the ground and suddenly pulling them into yourself to deliver a strike.



These are just starters, currently working off fumes but these are generally decent structures to work on. I did notice that you had listed potential weaknesses, my only issue is that some if not most of them have high requirements. I'm sure you understand the difference in strength between the Gravitational Force and the Electromagnetic Force, elemental wise I'd appreciate if the weakness was simply. "Lightning Release [1] Rank lower and higher is capable of resisting or negating the effect of these Gravitational Techniques", other logical counters can remain such as techniques that can alter mass and whatnot.
