Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Gakkame (楽亀)
Contract to which it is bound: Cool Springs Tortoises
Element Affinity: Water, Air
Gender: Male
Rank: MC (jounin equivalent for musical tortoises)



Height: 1'0''
Weight: 10 lbs
Physical Description: Very small turtle with green scales, a red shell and red markings. A speaker is built into his shell to project sound despite his small stature.
Clothing: Never leaves his hut without his headphones. A mall Kirigakure plate is bolted to the hadphone's back as a symbol of fraternity to his summoner, Hiru. Wears colored feathers a bit like a ponytail for style and a few wooden bracelets.
Background: A musician of heart and soul, he can play the classical tortoise tunes by flipping on its back and drumming on his shell and singing, or by remixing his own composition through his speaker. Very catchy!
Personality: Gakkame likes crowds, and, contrarily to most Sameruizumi Tortoises, he likes a good battle as well. Although he doesn't really have any moves in his repertoire to cause harm to opponents, he sees bewitching them as a challenge, proving his musical prowess.

Kikkouchou: Kameashi Regee (Shell Melody: Turtle's Pace Reggae)

A technique made to compensate for the turtle's obviously less than on par speed in battle. By banging and knocking on various sections of his or her shell like a drum, the user plays a very slow reggae type music that is used as a trigger for the jutsu on enemies in an area. Affecting the victim's brains, this genjutsu gives the target the impression of everything around him accelerating, as though he was slowing down to a crawl. What the technique actually does is it slows down all sensory and motor functions of its victim's brain, making them a much easier target to reach and incapacitate and making encounters against large groups more manageable.
Cp Cost: 90
Dice Rolls: 4
Damage: n/a
Will Save DC: 15 + int mod + 2 per 10 ranks in Genjutsu
Requirements: Sameruizumi Kame Contract, Genjutsu 35, Intelligence 35, Chakra Control 30, Shelled if no instrument.

Special:
*Affects all shinobis who hear the music, except for those with an active contract with the Sameruizumi Kame, friend or foe.
*Until the victim breaks free of the illusion, reduce base attack bonus, reflex, dodge rating and any check concerning speed by [Chakra Control / 4]. Victim loses attacks that would now have a base attack bonus reduced to 0.

A-Rank

Kikkouchou: Tenmin Haku (Shell Melody: Beat of Paradisiac Slumber)

The Sameruizumi Kame's most sophisticated and effective genjutsu. It is particular in its nature as, even though it is meant to be used on enemies, it causes no mental damage to its victim. By banging and knocking on various sections of his shell like a drum, the user plays a soothing tropical tune used as a trigger for the jutsu on enemies in an area. The technique works in two distinct manners. On a primary level, it forces the victims into a relaxing dream, an image of peace and tranquility tailored upon their unconscious desires. On a second level, it stimulates the brain's release of various hormones to reduce the victims' desire to even break free of the illusion, making them want to stay for "just a few more minutes". It has been said that many who had been exposed to this technique joined the Cool Springs Tortoises' cause afterwards, realizing how fulfilling complete and absolute peace could be.
Cp Cost: 125
Dice Rolls: 5
Damage: None, + (25 - 75) mhp per turn trapped.
Will Save DC: 18 + int mod + 2 per 10 ranks in Genjutsu
Requirements: Sameruizumi Kame Contract, Genjutsu 45, Intelligence 40, Chakra Control 43, Shelled or possess instrument.
Training: 5 stages.
Stage I: Genjutsu DC 55, Weaving chakra in the correct sound waves emanating from the instrument to enthrall a target.
Stage II: Intelligence DC 25, Specifically directing the chakra to the pleasure and endocrine centers of the brain.
Stage III: Chakra Control DC 53, Have the rythm tap directly into the victim's unconscious desires.
Stage IV: Chakra Control DC 55, Have the rythm adjust the hormone levels to optimize the illusion's efficiency.
Stage V: Genjutsu DC 57, Make the illusion as realistic and sturdy as possible to further reduce the target's chances of breaking it.
Special:
*Affects all shinobis who hear the music, except for those with an active contract with the Sameruizumi Kame, friend or foe (unless he or she willingly submits to the genjutsu).
*Once entranced, the victims are to all accounts unconscious (paralyzed and helpless).
*Reduce all will saves to break free of the jutsu by 20%.
*Any physical damage to the victims from an outside source breaks the illusion.
*Cures all mental status ailments of the victims.

Kokuangyo no Jutsu (Bringer-of-Darkness Technique)

A genjutsu which exerts an hallucinatory effect upon the eyesight, stealing all light away. A world of darkness, as if a thick, jet-black curtain had been dropped. No matter how skilled someone is, they have no option besides turning into sitting ducks. This effect allows the user to attack unseen. Although it negates sight, it does not stop the other senses. In essence, the opponent can sense, hear and smell out the user of the technique.

Taijutsu

E-Rank

Uke (Blocking)

Blocking is the most basic defensive maneuver a shinobi can learn. Aimed at preventing an attack from reaching its target, a block is basically a blow against a blow, applying the basic principle that two equal forces going in opposite directions will offset each other.

Kabaiitate (Cover)

The action of covering someone is made to protect more vulnerable targets in order to prevent that harm be done to them.

Kumiuchi (Grappling)

Grabbing an opponent in combat is a basic taijutsu technique aimed at holding an opponent in place rather than causing to damage to them directly. Getting close to an opponent, the person intending to restrain the other must find a way to get his hands on them and lock them in place to prevent any movement. This allows the victim to be used as a human shield or facilitates any partner's attempts at attacking them. In order for the victim to break free, they must either find a way to wiggle free from the user's hold or overpower them to break it.

*Immediately following a succesful grapple attack and at the beginning of any round that the hold is maintained, user and defender must roll a Grapple check of d20 + Strength Modifier + 2 per 10 in Taijutsu to see if the grapple is maintained or broken (higher score wins).
*While grappled, victim rolls a free grapple check (d20 + Strength Modifier + 2 per 10 in Taijutsu) per round against the grappler's grapple check to attempt to break free from the hold, and may use their attack turns to attempt Escape Artist checks against the Grapple check to break free.
*While grappling or grappled, victim and grappler lose the benefit of their Dexterity to their dodge rating and may not attack other people, block, or use techniques that require more than 1 attack turn (dice roll).
*While grappling, grappler can use attack turns to either attempt taijutsu or small weapon attacks against the grappled target, attempt to disarm them, or attempt to wrestle them to the ground, negating their wisdom modifier to their dodge rating until they break free or until the grappler attempts another grapple action.
*While grappled, defender may attempt taijutsu attacks against the grappler but suffers a [4 + 1 per 10 in grappler's taijutsu skill] penalty to attack score.
*Any failed attack against the grappler or the grappled target has a 50% chance to hit the other party to the grapple.

Youdou (Feint)

A combat application of masking your true intention, a shinobi can perform a feint in combat intended to mislead an opponent. The user fakes an attack in one direction to force a reaction from the opponent by telegraphing false information through body language and then uses the confusion to strike from another direction. If done successfully, this technique can leave an opponent wide open for an attack, greatly reducing chances of dodging. One of the weaknesses of this technique comes form its dependance on the opponent's ability to read the user's movements, making it less effective against targets that have different body types or limited intelligence.
Attack Turns: 1
Cp Cost: n/a
Damage: n/a
Sense Motive DC: d20 + Innuendo + Charisma Modifier
Requirements: Learn in the academy
Training: 1 stage

*Roll an Innuendo check (1d20 + Innuendo + Charisma Modifier) against an opponent's Sense Motive check (1d20 + Sense Motive + Wisdom Modifier). If Innuendo check beats enemie's sense motive check, user's next melee attack that only requires one attack turn is considered a sneak attack and gains all bonuses accordingly.
*-4 penalty to Innuendo check against non humanoid creatures. -8 penalty against creatures of animal intelligence. Impossible against creatures devoid of intelligence.





Weapons:

2x Bekkoutate

Bekkoutate (Turtle Shell Shield)

Made from the shells of turtles who, like some crustaceans, will discard their shells when they grow too large for them so that a new one may be generated, this shield is the trademark weapon of the Sameruizumi Kame. Made of biological material, it is unusually light for its combination of density and size and therefore is unique in significantly minimizing the impairment it could have on the shinobi's mobility making it possible to dual wield the shield as a weapon effectively. Because of its size, the shield passively provides the user with cover from attacks making it very practical from a defensive perspective. The downside of this focus on size is that it makes this tool somewhat cumbersome to carry around and can make complex combat maneuvers more difficult.

Cp cost to summon: 50 cp
Damage: (1-5) + str mod + (1-2) per 4 levels in Shield
Range: Arms length.
