2) Oh no! that part was crossed out because I already found that out xD It was fine how you had it before (and I encourage you to change it back)
4) I mean your Jutsu can only drain one type of resource Bijou, sage, etc, but if you cast it again than you can change what type you drain! It just can't be any more than one at a time ^ ^
They are all looking pretty good now! I just have one final question for you1 For Vital tap this jutsu is lowering the totals as in the cap gets lowered to prevent regen again? If so then that will have to be its own separate custom too sorry! Oh and also I do really like your idea that you're going with here! If I can make a suggestion, I think you can actually raise Life Eating Monster to 160 vital force instead of 80. The reason being is that overwhelming actually raises the cost that you would have to pay to block it, and since you can only have up to 80 right now you wouldn't be able to block an overwhelming A rank ^ ^
2)I’ll swap life eating monster back to the way it was. 4) okie I just wanted to be certain, I reworded it to fit ^_^
The rest) yes Vital tap was meant to be a draining technique that afflicts the opponents totals so as to prevent regen, I should have said it like that lol as opposed to over explaining lol.
Yes you totally get vital tap, I removed the fact it causes addition drain and made it simply cause her draining techniques it augments to be unable to regenerate!!! So it doesn’t drain stats now it just make any drained resources unable to be regened like you said biggrin!!!!
I made Vital force hold 80 chakra because I think that was the highest rank of sealing technique storage capacity at the time.. I sorta did a narrative mission so she’s a b-rank now >.> *coughs guiltily* my intent was at S+ rank it would store a total of 640 meaning she could ignore two S+ class techniques that aren’t overwhelming or in the case of non-spiritual techniques she’d treat them as weaker in collision so I felt that was reasonable and balanced cause I felt even more energy would be lame(even if filling the Vital force to that level isn’t exactly easy.) let me know what’s appropriate and I’ll do that ^_^ Yua can currently use it for up to an A-rank amount. Either way just tell me what would be best for it’s numbers and I’ll change it ^_^
I’m glad you like my concept with her ^_^ umm when these are approved I’m offering any “yuki-onna” technique to the guild for any potential future Yuki-onna players or NPCs to help represent being one ^_^ so I wanna make these right and hopefully contribute something small to the guild overall smile!
Edit) Ahhh yes, I added two customs for Seika who I still need to make her keystone and i just worked out how biggrin Velocitas Eradico, Latin for "I, [who am] speed, eradicate" shall finally be born biggrin(in a few days.)
▰ Character: Yua ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Life Eating Monster [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank C - S+| Nin-Jutsu [ None ]| Cost [ Spritual ] Whenever Yua casts this technique she taps into her spirit consuming abilities. The result is for the next six posts any instance of physical contact with her the person in question will loose two ranks lower than this technique In stamina and chakra and transfers it into her reserves OR can put both into her “vital force” techniques pool. This extends to weapon and affects entities that contain chakra, including clones or constructs but not from other active techniques unless they would create a link between both parties spirit/chakra network(like connecting souls at a distance...? Or using a astral projection and touching her as two examples). If she gets a hold of someone with a grapple when using this technique she can expend any remaining offensive actions to amplify the draining effects(each activation spent counting as an additional contact that post), she can continue to do this in consecutive posts should a person/persons continue to be in her grip. All draining effects from second activation on of continuous contact inflict double the drain dealt from that point on until contact is ended or this technique is.
▰ Character: Yua ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Vital Force [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | passive [ Element ]| Cost [ Spritual? ] Whenever Yua drains chakra or stamina from people through a number of affects she can choose to do one of two things with that energy beyond transfer it to her respective pools. One of these thing is to donate energy into her Vital force pool(this technique) The results are for every two points of chakra or stamina or one of each that would be gain, she may instead create one point of vital force(being able to store 160 Vital force at A-rank) within it, Vital force being the aspect of chakra connected directly to someone’s life force. Vital force may be tapped into for resources and counts as either chakra or stamina but each point only converts at a 1:1 ratio meaning this is an inefficient use. Her draining techniques when “life eating monster” is active will cause a tier of trauma. She is incapable of filling this pool up herself as it requires the life force of something other than herself to do so. Meaning this can only be built up by draining another source of chakra than her own.
▰ Character: Yua ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Vital tap [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Augment [ Element ]| Cost [ Spritual ] Whenever an effect would drain chakra or stamina would be drained from a person she may chose directly tap into the more essential core chakra of a person that she refers to as “vital force”. This Jutsu is used at the same rank as the technique it’s attached too. The terrifying aspect of this technique is the chakra and stamina drained smash the persons total energy pools at their core essence and life force is directly ravaged, this results in the opponents chakra and stamina totals being lowered by the rank of this technique, effectively reducing the total amount of stamina and chakra that person can have that combat. This drain is extremely sickening and painful, making their very sense of self and their soul feel violated and torn, if the user pays an addition 50% chakra she can cause tiered mental stress or insanity in said person to last until the beginning of the post after release through the use of GenJutsu. The shorthand of this technique is if she pairs this with any technique that drains chakra or stamina, that amount cannot be regenerated until end of combat (I.e. if loosing 50 of 500 chakra from one of Yuas techniques they would have 450/450 chakra as oppose to 450/500. The total number restores at the same rate as chakra does through resting but only ever out of combat or unless someone uses a Jutsu to transfer their own life force to the victim.
▰ Character: {Who uses the technique} ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Kiss and tell [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Ninjutsu [ Element ]| Cost [ Spiritual ] By pressing her lips against another’s she can start to drain their life force at an incredible rate. The victim will loose chakra or stamina equal to the rank of the technique and in addition is muted, incapable of verbal communication. The victims techniques all cost 5 more per rank of this technique whilst under its effects. IF the person in question has an inner source of chakra (sage, golden dragon, bijuu etc) this is also able to tear out an equal quantity of one of those(selected at the time), the Petrification aspects of said chakra being dismissed if she converts it to vital force, also at a 2:1 ratio. Due to yuki clan PA frost reaper this causes Teired frostbite to the lips, mouth and tongue and wherever she grips. Anyone kissed will have their clan and elements revealed to her as well as their current energy count. This Jutsu lasts until contact is broken, costing a D-rank upkeep, if combine with Frozen scorn the Insanity aspect of frozen scorn can be applied with this technique whilst the kiss is taking place, however this means that the victim will not experience the comforting sensations the illusion is meant to cause. This technique doesn’t require hadseals, initiating the kiss is how this Jutsu is performed.
▰ Character: {Who uses the technique} ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Immortality through life force [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Passive [ Element ]| Cost [ Spritual ] Vital force is the essence of her beyond human survival. Whenever her vital force pool contains energy her body is beyond that of natural death. Her body becomes incapable of experiencing in cer and becomes highly resilient to damage. She looses the requirement to eat, sleep or breathe and doesn’t age and is unaffected by tiered diseases and poisons equal to the tiered rank of half the energy stored within her. When immortal this way she expends energy at 5 - per day per body rank(even if only used for a second that day) she can choose to forgo all benefits of this technique on a day and this cost need not be paid.
▰ Character: {Who uses the technique} ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Immortal resilience[ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Passive [ Element ]| Cost [ Spritual ] Whenever she would be struck by a technique that would do her harm she can expend vital force of equal rank to the attack, this means that most basic close combat becomes near meaningless if “Life eating monster” is active. Gen-Jutsu that do her harm become easier to discern if she blocks with this technique as she still suffers the illusionary ailments. This does not cancel or nullify techniques rather than just make herself bypass being affected, although can be sent flying and the like and although she might be able to block part of an attack aimed at someone else by stepping in the way she by no means cancels them meaning it would have to be a very direct technique like a stab or beam or rasengan for her to completely block it, or damage technique from the front means she might be able to protect someone directly behind her.this is a supplemental action but if used whilst attempting to protect another will cost a defensive action. This ability is unaffected by Jutsu that lower the effect of defensive Jutsu or increase their cost. If broken by an equal level Jutsu for some reason, she still ignores the damage but looses an activation and access to this ability for two posts, has no requirement for handsigns and can be quite visually intimidating to watch her literally shrug off attacks, it also triggers her full Yokai appearance listed with her chakra manifestation.
▰ Character: Seika ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ aggressive spirit [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank B | Iryojutsu/tai-Jutsu [ Element ]| Cost [ Complex ] When using a Tai or Buki jutsu style technique or basic combat action defensive or offensive she may activate this technique prompting an adrenaline rush to trigger and peak by mid action, amplifying one of the users stats by two, use of this technique increases her natural defences from combat medic to heavy armor for that round and next, the stat bonuses last until this technique is used again.
▰ Character: Seika ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Breathe of calm rejuvenation [ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Iryojutsu [ Element ]| Cost [ Spiritual ] The user spends two activations to use this technique. The user takes a moment to use breathing techniques combine with flooding her lungs with healing chakra and breathing it in as it dispersed through her body, treating the round as if she had rested outside of combat and relieving the body of a tiered status effect. The first part is an adrenaline effect, the second is not. This Jutsu May have a single healing technique Korobo with itself at no additional activation but still paying resource cost.
▰ Character: Seika ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Take and break[ Japanese Technique Name ] | Rank X | Tai-jutsu[ Element ]| Cost [ Complex ] When being attacked by a bukijutsu strike either at the beginning of a combo, on a singular strike or against a single ranged weapon she may pay the cost of this technique on equal ranking on the incoming technique. She will snatch the weapon as it come with one hand and stopping it in place with grip and skill alone. The can be combine with a counter strike at no additional action but paying for the strike at, using her other hand to slam into the flat of the blade just as the energy of the strike is being released, utilizing the palm strike to snap the weapon in question, this strike is treated as a korobo with the opponents strike, reversing any of the strikes bonuses back upon the weapon with this attack.

▰ Character: Nabuya Ichiyomida Kenpachi ▰ Link to profile: [x]
▰ Liar's Brand | Rank X | Fuuinjutsu | Spiritual [-2 Custom Slots] The user pays target's body rank in chakra to set an invisible seal on them to appear to have lower body rank amount of power to sensory effects. One can still deduce the physical capabilities of the user through proper observation. This seal is designed to make the affected target appear weaker or even insignificant. Only sensory effects of equal or higher rank than was paid for this technique can reveal the truth.
E N C H A N T M E N T S
▰ Shinigami's Pledge | Legendary | Fuuinjutsu | Spiritual | [Legendary Enchantment; 1/2] A legendary enchantment applied to his legendary armors, Yorei and/or Seiyuwagi. These effects can only apply while donning either/both legendary armors. __• Presence: This part of the enchantment directly interacts with a Liar's Brand fuuinjutsu that the user placed on their self (only). Thanks to Nabuya's profound talent in fuuinjutsu, this enchantment applies a tiered Jamming to that technique depending on what rank it is used at. This effect applies while donning either Yorei or Seiyuwagi. __• Conviction: Cannot be inflicted with the same status effect(s) as has been cured by Yorei's Will ability for five posts. This effect only applies while donning Yorei. __• Determination: Prevents any bleeding sideeffects of the Trauma status while the Seiyuwagi haori is donned. The wearer will still physically bleed from injuries, but won't be as weakened from it.
▰ Il Palazzo's Champion | Legendary | Fuuinjutsu | Spiritual | [Legendary Enchantment; 2/2] __• Sarutahiko's Trickery: Can create fuinjutsu at the point of contact with the nodachi's blade. Seals created this way lose any fuuin-related cost reductions to cast and in return will require an additional amount of resource to destroy/remove equal to one rank lower than the seal that was created. This effect only applies to Sarutahiko. __• Omoikane's Lesson: If an external source destroys/removes the mental seal created with the sword's Commitment ability then the target of the seal will suffer tiered Mental Stress equal to the rank paid to place the seal on them for three [3] posts. This effect only applies to Omoikane. __• Oinari's Cunning: Oinari can apply her Manifestation ability to another object/being she comes into contact with while in her animal/humanoid form instead. Objects retain the standard B-rank cost, but she must pay the body rank value of the any rpc/npc. Also, this transformation only lasts for 3 posts, but sentient beings can use the Kai technique (or its equivalent) to end the inflicted transformation early. This effect only applies to Oinari.

Sorry I dropped the ball! Having a pool that high is perfectly fine as long as your filling it through physical contact, which it looks like that is the case here ^ ^ I would write it as "equal to double her body rank" instead of giving it a number like 80 or 160 though! That way it's not hard locked to any number!
Now for the new ones! I am almost 100% sure this isn't what you meant but I wouldn't be doing my job as a mod if you didn't at least know. For Breathe of calm rejuvenation just be careful with the words "she had rested outside of combat" because once you get outside of combat you regain all your Chaka and stamina! I know that's not the case here but I just wanted to let you know ^ ^;
Now by the looks of it everything here is approved! You can go ahead and change your vital pool without having to quote me again if it's just the changes I offered!
Regalina Kaicho
The only problem I see if that Omoikane's Lesson will need to have a duration to how long it's mental stress is applied for and then everything is approved! ^ ^
▰ Character: Afilion ▰ Link to profile: [x] Not Yet Approved ▰ Extraction and Replacement [Tekishutsu to Koukan] | Rank B-S+ | Bloodline/Medical/Keystone | Ninjutsu This technique takes the place of the Jiongu's Extraction jutsu for Afilion. The jutsu follows the same steps as Extraction, where threads are plunged into the chest and they remove the heart from it's owner, however this jutsu also creates a replacement heart made of threads. The thread heart is attached to arteries and veins in the same way a normal heart would be and pumps blood through the system of the person who has it as a normal heart would. The heart pumps and is sustained by a minor amount of chakra, that is seen as insignificant to one's use of chakra, by the person who has had their heart replaced by this. Much like the base Extraction Jutsu, this jutsu can be resisted by paying chakra one rank higher than the rank used, with the exception of S+ in which case can be resisted by paying Equivalent Chakra, if the target is unable to physically fight off the threads.
Being affected by this jutsu essentially makes a person a semi-artificial jiongu in a way. They become able to use the Extraction and Replacement portion of this jutsu. Instead of threads coming from their arms however they will extend from the chest, and effectively replace their lost heart with another's heart and impart the thread heart upon the other person. If they take another's heart in this manner the heart retains 5 techniques which can be used following the same rules of a Jiongu.
Afilion is able to tell when someone who has a one of his thread hearts is in the same area as him [Thread]. As well as whenever one of his thread hearts has been moved from one person to another. However neither of these give him details such as location, or which of the thread hearts has been swapped.
Afilion may also give people their hearts back, or even replace them with another heart he has instead through the use of this technique as well. If he is replacing their heart with another heart he has, the recipient is able to use all Ninjutsu associated with their new heart.

I’ll reword my vital pools numbers smile!!!!!
I can reword it, I meant in the same way as the massage technique allows someone to restore lost stamina and chakra regen rate outside of an activate combat situation (I.e. distancing to another topic, resting two posts and returning which was regained at 1/4 resources a post if I remember? I
Mythical Summon: ▰▰▰ Hoshi-ko & Kūkyo-ko Rank S+ | Chakra: 2150 | Stamina: 50 Hoshi-ko & Kūkyo-ko are two of the potential many mythical summons related to the cephalopods. Many know them not by their actual names but as 'Starmakers'. The duo however, do not traverse the mortal land and sea. Hoshi-ko & Kūkyo-ko roughly thrice the size of a Bijuu whose presence is nigh near undetectable do to their existence in the expansive sea of space. Hoshi-ko & Kūkyo-ko function as a collective conscious of many squid and other cepholopoda that have died. The after life of a cephalopod is said to be spent in the embrace of the stars and while this is an option as opposed to reincarnation the duo watches over the world from space. To the cephalopods the duo are also know as 'Life' and 'Death' respectively. As it is believed that amidst them Hoshi-ko is responsible for reincarnation and Kūkyo-ko achieving conscious unity through death and paving the way for new life. There is an old legend of squids giving birth to stars in space and also moving them. This is the mythos that birthed Hoshi-ko & Kūkyo-ko and it is their purpose to protect the planet that birthed them from astral threats such as stray meteorites and things that the worldly inhabitants may not understand yet. Despite the mythos that may be attributed to them its to be determined whether or not they play an actual role among the gods such as Evergreen when it come to determinant factors such as reincarnation and the like. The only known truth is they serve as the worlds protectors from potential galactic threats.
Ability:Astral Waters [Asutoraru Mizu] When the duo is summoned it is merely a signal. A being of its size while capable of being present on a battlefield opts not. Instead, an Astral Projection of their beings form serving as its 'conduit' and ensuring that it does not damage its surroundings. These Astral projections are immune to all damage aside spiritual and serve as the conduits for the being's attacks which are treated as spiritual but cannot damage a physical body only chakra entities. In its 'summoning' it releases a mass of chakra as all individuals are lifted from the ground. All individuals within a thread and possibly sub-thread will experience a loss of gravity. The entirety of that thread then functions as if all participants were submerged in water in terms of mobility and movement with an inherent knowledge of traversal to the summoners allies. Those not trained in such movements will find their [Speed] and [Agility] halved. This confers the benefits of being submerged in water as a unique 'sparkling liquid' is what floats around essentially a mist that acts as though it were an ocean making one feel as if they are in space.
▰ Rainbow Bridge [Niji burijji] | Rank: S+ | Cost: Chakra The Rainbow Bridge creates quite literally a bridge of multi-colored sparkles from the Astral Projection of Hoshi-ko. From the Rainbow bridge which is formed through Hoshi-ko, those who have died may willingly return to the realm of life temporarily in an artificial body made of glimmering light. Those that may consider returning are typically of significance to the summoner as Hoshi-ko contacts them in the afterlife. This is essentially a much more 'pure' version of Edo-Tensei. When the technique ends all individuals that did return also vanish respectively back into the after-life. This technique lasts only [10] posts and cannot be used again until the next combat where it may be deemed necessary. Those called upon by Hoshi-ko do not necessarily need to heed it.
▰ New World Reincarnation [Shin sekai umarekawari] | Rank: S+ | Cost: Chakra Kūkyo-ko from its galactic position will spread its tentacles then form them into a triangular form pin-pointing the designated location. It will then densely condense their chakra at their center and only what could be described as an orbital cannon is fired from space in a multitude of colors. This technique is sustained and is significant enough to immerse an entire thread. The sheer force of the beam is enough to blast a hole through a star when used at maximal power leaving behind only utter devastation in its wake. However, that amount of power is never completely unleashed when this technique is used for a summoner and serves only to be an incredibly devastating attack that could leave a land a craterous husk of what it once was. The beam itself capable of being expanded and contracted as deemed necessary from a pin-point single man's eye to swathes on a battlefield. After a few days time foliage and flora will begin to fill the emptiness at a rapid pace and rather than cause bodies to rot they become compost for flora. ____________________________________________
▰ Character: Pacted With Tosokurui Ashikoki Hojo ▰ Link to profile: [x] ▰ Summon Name: Hagane Tōshi - Rank: A ▰ Summon Appearance:Appearance ▰ Summon Type: Yokai ▰ Inventory Information: Scroll Large - Melded Into Body Via Magisterial Markings & Erudite Scholar - Considered Broken if 'Damaged' ▰▰▰ Hagane Tōshi Rank A | Chakra: 1250 | Stamina: 0 Hagane is a yokai and more specifically a Ungaikyō a spirit possessed mirror. He is a very temperate individual and initially came to Toso requesting that he be an advisory when it came to Yokai lore and understanding. In a sense he is somewhat of an unofficial ambassador informing the Arashikage of the various ins and outs of Yokai and what they need and what type of behaviors they tend to demonstrate. Examples of Hagane's influence are the sudden increase in janitorial jobs being taken by Akaname(Filth Lickers) and using Nurikabe(Living Walls) as road blockades for construction. The pact was made for a mutually beneficial arrangement. His method of locomotion is of course simply floating in a manner most ghostly but being a literal 'mirror' he is fragile in every sense of the word.
Ability:Mirror of Demon's [Hansha no Yaiba] Hagane inherently reflects [Sight] trigger based effects. Such as sight based Genjutsu back unto the caster or a blinding light back on the caster. A lesser effect which is shared by all Ungaikyō, anyone who stares into Hagane's mirror will see a monstrous version of themselves and be overwhelmed by a sudden wave of self loathing. This self-loathing compulsory effect is comparable to a B-rank level genjutsu and can be kai'd similarly. However, for this effect to occur the target must spend one full post gazing into Hagane's mirror body. Hagane can assume the shape, size, and appearance of any sized mirror. If Hagane is shattered it is required that he repossess a new mirror. Unfortunately Hagane is incredibly fragile so he does not often see combat and when summoned into combat will typically be a bit flustered.
▰ Laplace no Ma [Laplace's Demon] | Rank A | Cost: Chakra An ability which refers to a theory of determinism known by the same name known as Laplace's Demon Which pertains that with vast knowledge of hows and whens using examples from the past potentials of the future can then be processed infinitely in a formulaic manner that essentially with a vast enough level of memory and wisdom one can achieve an equivocal of omniscience by being aware of every probability. That aside the technique itself requires something that contains an individuals DNA which is then destroyed and its 'essence' absorbed into the mirror. Once that criteria is met Hagane can then find the individual wherever they may be and cast a visual representation of what they are currently doing on his mirror's face in real time. However, Hagane can only allow one to spy on one person at a time using this method requiring a new essence each time the technique changes to another individual. This ability cannot be obscured by sensory blocking techniques but is only possible through dedicated focus on Hagane's mirror.
▰ Elder Walk [Erudāu~ōku] | Rank: A | Cost: Chakra Hagane can open a pathway to an individual whom has been targeted by [Laplace's Demon] however, the requirement being that there must be a reflective surface currently present in the localized area in which Hagane is monitoring. From there an ally or several individuals may enter Hagane like a doorway having been connected via the reflective surface. This transposition however, isn't perfect. Those that travel via this method are limited to reflective surfaces. If touching a non-reflective surface or a reflection is lost those transposed with this method turn into wispy vapors and are immediately sent back to where they came from. Hagane cannot leave the place in which he is performing this technique and if his mirror is ever shattered or he ends it prematurely all those that used him as this travel utility are all sent back immediately. This technique has no sustain cost aside from being unable to perform any other techniques otherwise and leaving Hagane completely stationary until the techniques end.
▰ Satotta Dikutamu [Enlightened Dictum] | Rank: [X-S] | Cost: Chakra Hagane can prime his mirror body to reflect chakra constructs. This technique does not actually reflect the attack but materializes its reflection. In other words an oncoming fire ball reflected in Hagane's mirror will be countered by a materialized reflection of that oncoming fireball resulting in what is normally a perfect counter measure. --------------------------------

Behold! The first custom religion!
▰▰▰ Blood Ancestry▰Description: Born into the world by his mere existence, the cult of Blood Ancestry is a collection of those who have submitted themselves to the eternity that the vampire lord, Strahd Van Zarovich, has promised to create in his rise to power. Followers of this cult believe in the Endless Eternity, a new plane of existence that will be created as a paradise of the unchanging. Where one can live without the troubles of this world following them. For this to be achieved, however, there must be changes in one's soul. First, comes the embrace of your death. Hunger, thirst, and pain are all shackles that belong in this world, and in this world they will stay as you are welcomed into the embrace of Strahd, the embrace of vampirism. Second, as great power will be needed to accomplish the creation of an entire plane, Strahd demands his followers seek out those souls weighed down by the burdens of their flaws -- pride, rapaciousness, greed, apathy, and punish them. Not only as a means of atonement, but to draw power by extracting these sins and using them as fuel. Stripping it of remaining wickedness and turning them into a neutral energy, not so different from chakra.
Tenants:
▱▰▱• Vampirism is not in any way related to Saiketsu. The follower does not gain fangs, and does not necessarily need to be a manipulator of blood. They reject the teachings of Jashin to instead pursue the Endless Eternity, a world untouched by death.
▱▰▱• It is the follower's end goal to grant as much power as possible to Strahd in order for him to realize his dream. However, blind fanatism is frowned upon. Controlled movements are key to winning this game of chess with the god of destruction.
▱▰▱• Caution warned that the hunter does not fall prey to the temptations that you hunt.
Penitence:
▱▰▱• Failing to uphold the above tenat requires penance of undergoing the reitual of undeath again, wherein the follower undergoes the pain of death.
▰Passive Benefits: ▱▰▱• True children of blood | As vampire lord and minor god of vampires and undeath, Strahd has struggled greatly with Jashin, who despite not only claiming a minor link to the blood domain, has taken almost full command over the Saiketsu bloodline. A command that Strahd is intent on disrupting in those few who fall under his power. Those who have undergone the ritual to become a vampire now gain the ability to learn Forbidden Art: Crimson Controller Possessing Blood [ Kinjutsu: Shijihyouketsu ], even if the target does not possess the Saiketsu bloodline. This ability is also special in that if a target would otherwise die from this ability (and consent is given), they may be killed and resurrected as a vampire. This is the only means by which more followers may be created.
▱▰▱• Vampirism | The first steps towards becoming a follower of the Blood Ancestry, members are killed and then born again into vampires that require neither sleep, food, water, or even air to function. Bodies will also no longer age, instead remaining at the turned age for all eternity. Things such as poison (if ingested) and other loss of motor skills can still affect the target, however things such as bodily harm can only impair the vampire, not kill them.
▱▰▱• Hide from my sight | Taking up their mantle as punishes of the wicked, vampires of this sect are able to sense the negative emotions of others, as well as intent to do harm around them at a range of ten feet per body rank.
▱▰▱• But I will still find you | Making eye contact with any individual allows the vampire to know every sin they have committed in life. Once they are known, the vampire can complete a painful (for the wicked) ritual in which these sins are drawn out and converted into energy that is offered up to Strahd in prayer.

▰▰▰ Prophets of Yatagarasu ▰Description: The Prophets of Yatagarasu is the cult that worships Yatagarasu, the king of the red-eyed crows of the Midnight Dreary Realm and follow the beliefs of fatalism and prophecy. Followers of Yatagarasu are known as prophets and are charged to spread the belief that fate is inescapable and that the future is completely predetermined. Prophecies and lore are of great importance to Yatagarasu's faith as followers read apocryphal texts to decipher the future. Holy texts are contained within ancient crow-language scripts such as the crow contract scroll. The highest members of the cult are crow sages because sages are naturally capable of reading in the crow language. While the language can be taught, reading the texts to decipher prophecy is much more opaque to non-sages. Additionally, black flames such as Amaterasu are considered sacred and can also reveal messages of prophecy to sages that apply nature chakra to the fire. Crows and ravens are deeply respected and used as iconography in the cult. Yatagarasu is highly revered in this cult as the fallen messenger of the gods who now shares his knowledge with humanity. The prophets believe that Yatagarasu is a keeper of esoteric knowledge and a greater understanding of fate that even the gods themselves cannot obtain. Yatagarasu is not considered a god in this faith but is worshipped as a divine and clever emissary. It is common for followers to not respect the gods Evergreen, Zelel, O-Inari, and Jashin and instead believe in Yatagarasu's word. Prophets such as Satoshi Hojo have asserted that in a universe where gods interfere in mortal affairs and also fall victim to fate themselves prove that free will is an illusion. No gods may be worshipped by prophets and as fatalism is the central philosophy no other sectarian beliefs are permitted (including Ninshu, Buddhism, and Daoism). The prophets have a priesthood, order of templars, and an inquisition. The cult has pockets of followers in the Uchiha clan and the Sharingan is viewed as a great power. Sacred items are lore texts in the crow language, black flames, crows, ravens, and jewelry adorned with crow feathers. Priests are expected to wear black robes during ritualistic crow lore reading ceremonies.
Tenets:
▱▰▱• There is no escaping fate among mortals or gods. ▱▰▱• Free will does not exist. ▱▰▱• Prophecies from Yatagarasu are absolute. Prophecies from others are flawed but can have elements of truth. ▱▰▱• Seek to understand the future in the crow lore and the black flames. Perform such rituals on a weekly basis. ▱▰▱• Keep natural energy and sage chakra pure. Forbidden seals and corrupted nature chakra are an abomination. ▱▰▱• Respect the crows and guard the Midnight Dreary Realm.
Penitence:
▱▰▱• Minor violations of the tenets such as faltering in prophecy reading rituals require [3] paragraphs of reading the crow lore. ▱▰▱• Severe infractions such as using forbidden seals, corrupting natural energy, betraying the crows, and violating the sanctity of the Midnight Dreary Realm require a baptism by black fire ritual to be performed. The baptism consists of immersing the body in black flame created by Yatagarasu, crow sage, or Uchiha. This causes immense, torturous pain with natural energy being used to preserve the body.
▰Passive Benefits: ▱▰▱• Crow Pact | Prophets are automatically signed in a pact with the crows and can summon them freely upon induction. ▱▰▱• Ebony Flames of Fate | The Prophet's fire-based techniques turn black in color, mimicking their sacred Amaterasu flames as closely as possible. Instead of Amaterasu's majestic fire capabilities, these flames cause one tier higher burning and burn statuses. ▱▰▱• Prophetic Visions | Illusions created by prophets incur one tier higher mental stress or insanity.

▰▰▰ The Nagakana ▰Description: Scarcely a soul hasn't heard a name in hushed roars or screaming whispers from the lands of Claw and Fang all the way to the Isles far East where the Hoshigaki reign.
Nagakaborous.
The "the unending monster that drives the sea and sky."
The bearded lady.
The queen of the depths.
The sea-mother.
All are monikers belonging to the God of the Nagakana, whom requires not worship nor sacrifice. Of the many dieties that exist, Nagakaborous is known only for demanding her followers remain in motion, always. What this means has largely been up for debate due to the constant turmoil and cascading dynamic that comprises a religion based around the idea of consistent change and growth. At the end of the day, Nava Shouten Uchiha and her older sister and former Truth Bearer NaKya Shouten Uchiha have shined a light on the meaning of motion, and why it can never stop. All life is motion. To live is to move, to swim, to climb and fight against the wind and tides that seek to smother and drown you, always chasing your dreams and pushing towards whatever destiny you have chosen for yourself. To stop is to inhibit the self, and the universe from reaching the Nirvana that is Truth. To lose focus is to be clouded, and to be clouded is to suffocate. Above all other things, the Nagakana and Nagakaborous demand that everyone remain truly alive.
Good and evil don't matter, so long as you are fighting for what you believe in. Right and wrong only hold so long as you remain focused on what that means to you. All of these things only exist because the Mother gives us the ability to see them, and to move towards them. All she asks in return is that you do so.
Motion, literally and figuratively, will eventually bring the the entire universe to it's Apex, but only once everyone has reached the Truth. Impossible? Besides the point.
Take what you want, hold things only when they are useful, destroy what you hate, eat, ********, kill, protect, do whatever! So long as you continue to grow, the mother will show you favor.
As far as views on other religions go, the Nagakana favors them all in different ways, and the Nagakana have names for the other gods, seeming to consider them as a pantheon below Nagakaborous herself. Jashin is Ma'gatai, who culls those who's energy is inhibiting the universe and returns that energy to be reincarnated. Zelel is D'Vorah, considered by many to be a new god representing focus and determination. Evergreen herself is often linked to Nagakaborous as a sister diety, or even as one and the same, if a softer figure. A sort of rough tolerance of the other religions exists, often seeing followers of the Nagakana choosing those gods as their patron diety below the Bearded Lady, and fall into several hierarchies.
The Truth Bearer is the leader of the group, charged with teaching the religion through harsh, often painful but eye opening tests that leave those who experience them changed.
Heirophants worship Kortal Khan, the god of Focus whom demands they aid the truth bearer in finding those whom need to be uninhibited... or removed.
Death Seekers call out to Ma'gatai, Jashin, for the will and power to kill, but not simply for the act but to return the flow to an individual's spirit once their shell fails them.
Serpent Callers are the only ones who pray to the gods and to Nagakaborous for guidance, often on behalf of others, and handle most of the daily duties, maintaining shrines where followers can go to reignite their sparks.
Those without purpose, who don't serve or are out of motion are called Paylangi. As big an insult as one can receive.
All and all, an open religion, seen as zealouts and hedonists to the narrow minded and stagnant, and as truly alive by those who can see into their exhaustive life styles and see the Truth.
Tenets:
▱▰▱• The first lesson is motion. Always remain in motion. Never stop growing. Never stop being better than you were before. Wake up and dominate life, or be dominated by it and perish. So long as you remain in motion, you will always be favored. Live, fight, dream. Enjoy the sweetness of fruits, the joy of battle. Do whatever you wish. If your wish is to follow, then follow. If you wish to lead, do so. If you want neither, stay out of the way of those who know their path.
▱▰▱• Remain focused. The second lesson is that focus gives clarity, and guides one's actions. You can't chase your dreams if you cannot see them, you cannot be in motion if you don't know where to go.
▱▰▱• The final lesson is Truth, and is often the hardest to grasp. Our lives are our own, to do with what we want. More than this, remember always that you are the universe's only way to truly experience itself, and to that end you are the most powerful being, not any god or force of nature. Without you, there is nothing, nowhere, never.
Many hundreds of ideas and tenets exist beyond these three, but beyond that the undead must be destroyed at all costs, these three are the core of the Nagakana.
Penitence:
▱▰▱• Losing your way, your focus, your heart requires you visit any temple or shrine (which can be any and everywhere and are often only of importance to yourself,) and recenter yourself with at least 3 paragraphs of understanding.
▱▰▱• A visit from the Truth Bearer, and survival of the test she gives can reinstate you.
▰Passive Benefits: ▱▰▱• Stay In Motion: In combat, you gain a point of speed beyond the cap so long as you remain moving. ▱▰▱• Remain Focused: Genjutsu of all kinds cost 10 less chakra to escape per 10 religious missions complete to a max reduciton of -50. However, if you lose your way, until your penitence is complete you lose a rank of defense against genjutsu. ▱▰▱• Show them the Truth: Landing a blow of any kind on an opponent inflicts one tier of mental stress or insanity as the target sees their soul slapped free of their body from the impact. ▱▰▱• Show me your spirit: You may pay any amount of chakra as an activation to effectively Hex the battlefield. Any and everyone must match your chakra input, or suffer one tier of stacking insanity as their very soul is pulled by endless and powerful tentacles pull at them. This lasts until combat ends, or the cost is matched, and cannot be kai'd or defended against by sealing or ninjutsu. It's effective a resource tug of war.
▰ Feather Fall | Rank D or Rank X | Wind Ninjutsu | Cost [2 Custom Points] A Ninjutsu developed for use of Leap and to safely descend from high heights when fighting atop of Morabi's back or when the use of flight is unable to performed for whatever reason. When falling, Jinrai can manipulate wind chakra to slow his descent or to quickly decelerate at the moment of an impact and ease his fall, this technique can be used to deaden the impact of throws, impact and other hazards similar to falling from a high height. This is a supplementary activation when no hostile techniques or abilities are the result of falling or forceful impact and is only a D-Rank cost. This technique becomes a variable technique when a hostile activation threatens Jinrai with hitting a hard surface or fall from a high height such as from wind techniques or throwing taijutsu as such an example, the cost of chakra must be met with the opposing technique.
▰ Leap | Rank X | Taijutsu | Spiritual [2 Custom Points] A technique developed specifically for fighting alongside an aerial partner such as Jinrai's Morabi. Jinrai uses chakra in his legs or his spear and builds it up to make straight vertical jumps into the air or in a straight line. The jump can be done off any solid surface or be aided by an ally, no recoil or blowback is produced when he lifts off in a given direction. The Jump's range is [15] Feet for every rank applied to this technique, and is used specifically as a supplementary activation. However, this technique can be attributed to evading and dodging techniques equal to its rank and lower at the cost of consuming a defensive activation.
▰ Aerial Superiority | Rank S+ | Wind Ninjutsu | Spiritual [2 Custom Points] Jinrai specializes in attacking from all ranges and is equally specialized in utilizing his companion Morabi to harass and force a battle on his terms. With a flurry of hand seals, he is able to cause the entire area [topic] to still the use of flight from any technique below S+ as he exerts wind chakra and cancels out any chakra aided flight and forces individuals to fly with either wings, a companion with natural flight, an equal ranked technique or ability. Large Constructs such as Airships from Arashigakure are exempt from this technique. This technique lasts [8] posts and will need to be recast to continue it's use. This technique affects ally and foe alike.
