Cursemarks cannot actually be "quested for" at this time. You can apply, and you can be accepted, but the "timer" on how long you have to find the marker won't start immediately. We will notify you when the clues for the Markers have been placed and the timer starts.

Name of the Cursemark: Heaven
Have you ever had any cursemark in this guild before? If so, link us to a fight where you used it: N/A
If you haven't previously used it, give us an RP sample of how you would use it. It needs to be a complete fight no shorter than 15 sentences (and it had better be amazing if it's that short!):
Was this it...was this the way he was truly going to die...face down in the dirt, beaten by some pompous Uchiha. Takasugi had discovered his lineage awhile ago, and in an attempt to gain more power, had hunted down another Uchiha to obtain his Mengekyou...however this was not going to plan...his foe was much stronger then he originally anticipated. And now he was nearly out of Chakra..., as his foe laughed at him, closing the distance between the two of them, bringing Takasugi closer to no w what seemed to be an inevitable death. "Well boy...you certainly put up a fight...but it looks like you're the one who will be losing his eyes today!" The bellowed in a gruff and almost barbaric voice. That's when he remembered the words of the man he had met...who had changed his life, "If you can first understand pain, you can then be compassionate to others...with this seal you shall understand both pain and power...but do not abuse it...reckless use of power will lead to your death." Takasugi grasped at his neck, where the seal had be inscribed, since that day he hadn't used it, out of fear of abusing its power...but now he had no choice.
"I'll use the cursemark....lend me your power..." Takasugi muttered under his breath, just barely audible to the approaching Uchiha. Shrugging it off, he closed the final distance between them and made ready to finish their battle..when he noticed something. Black symbols that appeared to be almost painted on with ink covered the left portion of his face, it seemed to be emanating from a spot on his neck. The more surprising aspect to the Uchiha however was Takasugi's Sharingan, which were inactive mere moments ago, we now reactive , what's more they seemed to be filled with a more sinister look then when he had last seen them. Not liking the feel of the situation the Uchiha moved to quickly end Takasugi's life as he raised his katana above his head. Reading his actions with his Sharingan, Takasugi quickly preformed a series of handsigns, "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" Not bothering to bring his hand up to control the flame, Takasugi merely released the stream of fire from his mouth, surprising his opponent immensely, as the flames seared and charred his body he quickly jumped away from the stream of flame, 'Impossible! How can he still have so much chakra to use such a powerful technique...' The Uchiha cursed mentally, he was sure that he had this kid on the ropes and almost out of chakra just a few moments ago and now he seemed revived and fresh...how was that possible!? Takasugi stood up, a grin on his face...yes...he could feel the power of the cursemark flowing though him, it was immense, more then he could have ever imagined, and now he would use this power to kill this man and obtain his eyes..
Takasugi locked his eyes on the Uchiha, he knew he must be nearing exhaustion, atleast mentally...Takasugi had been assailing him with some of his best Genjutsus but it was still not enough..now though..with the additional power of the cursemark, he decided to go for his one-two knockout combination, hoping to end the fight be he had to test the limits of the cursemark. "Sectumsempra!" Takasugi shouted, eyes locked on the target. The Uchiha seemed confused for a moment...but that was quickly replaced by a look of intense pain as a hot searing sensation ran across his chest. It was an unbearable pain and as he looked down he noticed blood..alot of blood. His chest was covered in deep, bleeding gashes as his body cried out in pain, he could hardly think..but though the haze of pain he noticed that Takasugi hadn't moved, and he was looking directly at him ,'Gen...genjutsu...this has to be a genjutsu!' The Uchiha managed to work out and managed to form a handsign,"K..kai!" He called out as he purged his chakra system, enabling him to break from the illusion, but it has taken its toll...the pain he felt was overwhelming and he was now exhausted, Takasugi on the other hand seemed bursting with life as he chuckled , a sadistic smile emerging on his face, as he locked as with the Uchiha...as he formed a single handseal. Afterwards a gust of wind blanketed the area. A few seconds past before the man let out a horrified scream, Takasugi knew now was his moment, he would only have a short window of time where his brain was shut down thanks to his Genjutsu. He quickly closed the distance between them and just as the Uchiha began to regain conciousness, Takasugi ended his life with a quick and efficient Kunai slash to the neck.
As the corpse fell over and began to soak in a puddle of blood. Takasugi laughed, the power of the cursemark was truly something else, why he hadn't used it earlier he wasn't sure...but he was quickly reminded as an intense wave of pain assailed him, pieced every fiber of his being, he had never been in so much pain before, he couldn't think, he couldn't moved, and he craved for something to end the pain, even death if that was the only option, but as quickly as they pain assailed him, it had left, leaving him wearily and exhausted. Knowing that his job was done, Takasugi gripped his neck and strained as he began to will the cursemark away and back into inactivity, it took more effort than he thought it would as he struggled to get the cursemark to recede every inch. Finally, it was back where it belonged...and his body now felt extremely weak and exhausted from its use. Takasugi finished by fully severing the Uchiha's head from his body and then walked to a nearby tree, collapsing from near exhaustion..but he had gotten what he had came for...he would now have an even stronger set of eyes, and he had the cursemark to thank for not only that, but for actually saving his life. He closed his eyes and allowed the bliss of unconsciousness to take him.

Good sample, but it's hard to say if you would be able to do all that that once the new genjutsu system is finalized. Approved.

Name of RPC: Dogou Teikiatsu Link to most up-to-date profile for the RPC: [x]Name of the Cursemark: Cursemark of Earth Have you ever had any cursemark in this guild before? If so, link us to a fight where you used it: N/a If you haven't previously used it, give us an RP sample of how you would use it. It needs to be a complete fight no shorter than 15 sentences (and it had better be amazing if it's that short!): ( Sorry that my sample sucks. >.< ) Dogou stood in the middle of the field, dozens of bodies lying around him. His fists deep red with blood. He wasn't the type of fighter to have clean hands after hitting someone, They were just too massive and held far too much force behind them. Basically when he hit, it was the same as getting hit by a maul, Flesh was ripped, and bones were broken. Dogou knew this, and relished in the fact his fists were so destructive. He looked at the four jonins that stood around staring in sheer terror at the chunnin who had just killed their students in a matter of seconds. He had delivered blows directly to their heads, each and every one, and had cleanly caused the amount of damage twenty years of boxing caused on a man's head. " Come on, Who amoung you is this man? " Dogou said, holding up a bloodstained picture of one of the Jonin who was currently on a mission of peace with Sunagakure. " My Kage told me to kill this man, because he was the cause of this entire war, we were wronged, and you all didn't...attempt...to...right...yourselves." Dogou said, looking at the back of the picture at a script that the Kazekage had written for him, knowing full well that Dogou had the power, but not the mental capacity to pull off this mission. " You b*****d! " one of the four Jonin said, rushing forward, in the blink of an eye to Dogou. " I'll kill you! " He said, raising his fist up to Dogou's chin. Dogou stepped back suddenly, and swung his elbow at the man, his arms elongating to the perfect length for him to hit the man square in the face with his elbow. Black marks had been covering Dogou's body while he read the script, agner filling him because the blood had began to dry on there and make him seem like an idiot when he tried to read it. The man flew backwards, stopping back where he had been standing a couple of seconds ago. His nose cleanly broken up and into his skull, probably into his brain. either way, he wouldn't be up for the rest of the fight. The other Jonin took a step back as they looked at Dogou's morphed body. He stood at an incredible 4 meters, and his arms were twice as thick, and once and a half times as long. His clothing had been ripped, tightening on his body. His hair had turned to a solid gray mesh, seeming like steel, it reminded the jonin greatly of steel wool. His feet seemed to condense and turn into hooves, and his hair parted and from them came two horns that curled and winded out of his skull, not even an ounch of blood coming from their exit point. " Crap, is this the power of a cursemark? " One said, as the other two ran forward, switching sides almost constantly in an effort to confuse Dogou. The other two strung together a slew of handsigns, and both said the same technique at once. " Shadow Clone no jutsu! " They said, both creating two perfect copies of themselves. Then, the two copies went around Dogou, in a triangle formation, so that Dogou had to choose one set of the two ninja to fight. Laughing Dogou merely stood there until one of the sets got close to him. He smiled and shot forward, colliding with one with his head, sending that clone into poofedness. His cloven hoof coming up and poofing the other. Then when the second set of clones appeared Dogou grasped one's haed and slammed it into the other, poofing both of them at once. Dogou then jumped backwards to avoid shuriken that had just hit the ground. The two jonin that had made the clones were no where in sight. " Come out come out where ever you are! " He said laughing as he looked around, noticing the third jonin who had stayed back had closed the distance and had a katana inches away from his stomach. " this will be fun! " He said laughing as he felt the tips of four katana, one held in each of the two jonin who had used a teleportation technique to jump behind him, sink into his shoulders, pushing him forward onto the fifth katana. he smiled a bit and raised his head and brought it crashing down into the third jonin's head, smiling as he heard the all to familiar crack of the cranium. The third jonin crumpled to the ground, twitching just a bit, blood pouring from his eyes and ears. Dogou waited a couple of seconds until blood built up in his mouth, he thenfell to his knees and spat out the blood, his fists hitting the ground, and holding him up so he wouldn't get ran through anymore than he already had. The two Jonin who were still on his back let go of their katana and jumped off, brathing heavily. " We... We killed him... " They said, laughing and giving eachother a high five. " We killed the Ram of the Sand! " They said, turning away from Dogou. Dogou stood, not making a noise. " First...second...third...fourth gates... Release! " He said, taking out the five katanas from his body. Dogou shifted quickly to the two jonin, and grabbed one by both ankles, jumping into the air, well over 10 meters, He rolled forward three times, and on the fourth slung the opponent directly into the ground where he had been standing. Now this wasn't enough to kill the man by anymeans, he just had a broken ribcage and a punctured lung. But when dogou landed on him with his Second released form's weight of around 800lbs, there wasn't much he could have done to survive in those last few seconds of life. Then, just before the other jonin could slip away again, Dogou brought both of his hands to the jonin's sides, gripping the man's arms, His hands covering nearly the man's entire chest, his middle finger's meeting at the man's spine. Dogou laughed, as he quickly brought the man up to his maximum reach, around 5.5 meters in the air, and slammed him down, breaking both of his legs. Dogou let out a roar of laughter, his muscles increasing in size, and hardness as he used the almighty power of yelling to increase the strength of this next attack. Dogou brought his head up, and slammed it down onto the jonin's head, completely obliterating it into the man's torso, bone fragments stuck in Dogou's forehead like shrapnel. Dogou stood up, arched his back and let out a howl of triumph, stumbling backwards as he began to revert to his regular form. Dogou quickly patched what he could over his injuries to stop the bleeding, cartarizing his stomach wound. Dogou stood back up, and began walking farther into the Village's territory. " Must not come back until I've killed that jonin... " He said falling forward and laying in a puddle of blood. He reached out and swapped his dog tags with the headband of one of the leaf genin. Hopefully they wouldn't notice.

Can only one person have each cursemark? Or is it a thing that more than one person can have?

SK Loda Can only one person have each cursemark? Or is it a thing that more than one person can have? The Risk/Benefit ratios are pretty balanced, so there is no cap to the number of users a cursemark can have.

I have two major problems with the application: 1. You didn't include any of the effects of the cursemark other than the custom morph. No references to change in strength, speed, agility, or endurance. I need to see those boosts portrayed in your sample. 2. I don't care if you're Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee: getting run through by 5 Katana is not something you can just shrug off and pretend it never even happened, let alone function after. You had katana through your shoulders and chest: how are you able to be going around grabbing people with all those severed muscles? Plus there's the fact that you took them out, meaning you just caused a huge bleeding problem. You would pass out in less than a minute from blood loss, if nothing else, and no amount of "patching" is going to stop the bleed caused by 5 huge stab wounds going all the way through your body.

Name of RPC: Toshusai Manami
Link to most up-to-date profile for the RPC: [x]
Name of the Cursemark: Cursemark of Darkness
Have you ever had any cursemark in this guild before? If so, link us to a fight where you used it: Nope!
If you haven't previously used it, give us an RP sample of how you would use it. It needs to be a complete fight no shorter than 15 sentences (and it had better be amazing if it's that short!):
Manami struck the ground with jarring force, his teeth clattering together. He hastily recovered, bringing himself back to his feet to stare into the eyes of his opponent. Eyes filled with malice and hatred gazed back into his own, the corners of the sockets that held them twisted by the snarl worn on the man's face. He would have smiled in reply, but the cut on his cheek prevented any type facial expression without added pain. It wasn't like his cheek was the only part of him that was injured either. There were several cuts, bruises, and various other wounds littering his body. Fighting against taijutsu users sucked, especially when it was against someone who was royally pissed at you for some reason or another. Which reminded him, why exactly was he mad?
He was going to ask, but was forced to dive to the left as a kunai came flying toward him. Narrowly avoiding the tool of murder, he rolled as he struck the ground and came back up with surprising speed, withdrawing one of his own kunai and launching it at his opponent. It bounced off of an armor guard, the user of which promptly disappeared. A foot struck the ground behind him before the world suddenly began to turn. An incredible amount of force knocked him from his feet into the air for several feet, bringing him to a sliding stop once more.
"You know, when she talked about you, she made you sound like the best thing is existence. Who woulda' thought that you would only be some crappy genjutsu user. Haven't even laid a scratch one me! I'd be scared if you knew anything, but all you've done so far is throw toys at me, and cast low-level jutsu." The opposing shinobi spat. "You're trash." Manami struggled against the ground, lifting himself up and slowly pushing himself upright. One of his torn sleeves brushed his lip on command, wiping away some accumulated blood. He tentatively touched the side of his head out of curiosity, and was met with a thin smear of blood. That was a good kick. He chuckled.
"Here I was getting my hopes up, thinking that you were sent to assassinate me. I guess I'm not quite where I want to be yet." He paused for a moment as a wave of pain flashed through his head. "Doing a great job on knocking me around though. I haven't been this battered since I got into a scuffle with Takashi. Boy was he made when I made that 'unwanted' advance on Saiyuri. You have no idea what I'm talking about though, so please, let's continue my beat down." A small smile graced his lips, which was promptly beaten back by the sting of his injuries. His hands came together, and his eyes began to glow as red particles formed in the air. What little he could make formed into a single clone of himself, but quickly disappeared as a searing pain lanced through his shoulder. 'Dammit, so annoying,' he thought, attempting to suppress the mark which hungrily spread across his body. "Well, bollocks."
The same foot that raced toward his head earlier went through the same movements, except this time it hit a new clone, which split into two. Manami felt rejuvenated, as he had each time before when the cursemark activated itself. A new surge of chakra filled him, and he felt lighter on his feet than before. It was time to get as serious as he could get with genjutsu.
When his single eye fell back upon his opponent, he could see signs of weariness that had previously been missing. Before the man was given a moment's respite, Manami heartily clapped his hands. "Bravo" His next genjutsu took effect. After several unrelenting genjutsu, he found that they ceased to work, as his opponent's resistance had grown too much. He was tired, the cursemark receding back into its original state, removing its taint for now. His opponent was as well, but appeared to be more tired that he, which was important, since he was a taijutsu user.
Sore in every meaning the word, Manami walked over to the shaken man who now laid on the ground. He had been ravaged by genjutsu continually until now, but it was time to end it. One foot lightly stepped on the head of his opponent.
"I probably should have done that sooner, but you wouldn't have been as tired as you are now if I did. Anger is a funny thing y'know? Tired you out faster because you spent so much energy beating me to a pulp. It'll take awhile for these wounds to heal, and it better not leave any scars. Can't keep up such a feminine, attractive image if it does. Goodbye now, have fun." At the word fun he lifted up his heeled shoe, a small blade sliding out it. He stomped onto the man's head, feeling the metal slid cleanly through his ear and into his brain. A small look of disgust crossed his face when he brought it back out. He stepped away from the fresh corpse, but stumbled and fell to his knees. The energizing effects of the cursemark were now obviously gone, leaving him about as agile as a log. Curiously, thunder shouted into the sky at a distance, filling his ears with the familiar sounds of his element.

Unrelinquished Despair After several unrelenting genjutsu, he found that they ceased to work, as his opponent's resistance had grown too much. While I like your application overall, this one sentence reveals/has three very distinct problems: 1. You skipped over the best part! If the entire point of the cursemark is unleashing many genjutsu against one opponent in a row, why would you summarize it instead of giving the full account of what the character would do with such power? It'd be like Lee opening 8 gates, but instead of seeing what he did with them open, it just cuts to he and his opponent falling to the ground dead. -____- That, in effect, is what that sentence did to your post. 2. You can use a maximum of four genjutsu with stage one active, to be exact (which I assume is the only stage you used, since no mention of a custom morph or second stage activation was made). This is because it lasts for four posts, and allows you to affect the same target with genjutu every post. That's why you should go through the whole process, since it's only four techniques (going back to point one). 3. I think you have your resistance systems mixed up. If you'll look, your target only gains resistance from facing your genjutsu up to the rank of the bonuses your RPC receives toward genjutsu usage (from cunning, sexy, or the genjutsu class bonus, etc.). Unless you use really low level techniques against a higher level opponent, you should never get to the point where your genjutsu are rendered ineffective by the accumulating defense of your target. So, go ahead and edit your post so that it takes these things into consideration, and let me know when you would like for me to look at it again. wink
