xxxxxHOST CHAKRA
Extra chakra in an angel/demon release is determined by the current number of tails/wings they have present. Meaning, if you have 0 tails/wings active (just the cloak), you get a still-large boost of 75. If one is present, 115. Etc.
One tail/wing = 115 points extra
Two tails/wings = 120 points extra
Three tails/wings = 125 points extra
Four tails/wings = 130 points extra
Five tails/wings = 135 points extra
Six tails/wings = 140 points extra
Seven tails/wings = 145 points extra
Eight tails/wings = 150 points extra
Nine tails/wings = 160 points extra


xxxxxWEAPON/TAI CONSUMPTION
Rule Number One: Weapon/Tai/Samurai spend 4 points less per post for styles (for example, if you usually use 10, all styles will be 6 as a weapon/tai user)

xxxA genin-ranked stage of a style costs 3 chakra points per post
xxxA chuunin-ranked stage of a style costs 5 chakra points per post
xxxA jounin-ranked stage of a style costs 8 chakra points per post
xxxA kage/sannin-ranked stage of a style costs 10 chakra points per post

Please note that chakra costs are stacking; if you have several styles on at once, they will cost that amount.


xxxxxCHAKRA
xxxChakra can best be described as power or energy a ninja needs in order to perform techniques. It is probably the most important element in fighting for ninjas. Chakra consists of two main parts: the body energy and spiritual energy. Body energy can be tapped into from the cells in your body. The faster your cells move around in your body the more energy you have. Body energy provides strength for a ninja's mind. Spiritual energy is usually acquired from certain experiences in training or battle. Spiritual energy can be best described as an adrenaline rush or extra burst of energy. This may come in handy when a ninja is very tired and worn out.

xxxxCONTROLLING, BUILDING, AND PROTECTING
xxxControlling Chakra Controlling chakra during battle is one of the most important aspects in fighting. Another important part is to being able to build chakra to perform techniques. Building chakra is essential if you want to perform Genjutsu and Ninjutsu techniques correctly. Stamina also plays a big part in this. In order to create chakra you must convert it from stamina. When you perform techniques you not only release chakra but also stamina. Being unable to control your chakra can end up being deadly. If you release too small of an amount, the technique you tried to perform will fail. If you use too much chakra you may end up severely hurting or killing yourself. A ninja must have a certain amount of chakra in their body to live.

xxxxCIRCULATORY SYSTEM
xxxCirculatory System In addition to the circulatory system in your body to transfer blood, ninjas also has a circulatory system to transport chakra. Instead of having veins and arteries, chakra is transported from certain pipes and passage ways. Chakra is released by traveling through this system and out. Since the chakra circulatory system goes around many important organs, when the circulatory system is attacked and damaged, your organs may be damaged as well. There are 361 openings in the chakra circulatory system in your body. This opening is called the Tenketsu. When the Tenketsus are blocked you will be unable to perform any techniques. The Byakugan has the ability to neutralize all the holes so chakra cannot flow. It is very important to protect yourself from these types of attacks.

xxxxCHAKRA GATES
xxxChakra gates are gates in the body that are used as limiters for chakra. They regulate the flow of chakra throughout a person's body to prevent someone from going beyond his/her body's control. But by using a move like the Primary Lotus, which opens 3 gates, the user can release some of the limits on the body. This means the body can move at a much higher rate and with more power. Opening a gate increases chakra flow temporarily, but by doing this, it means the user puts an incredible amount of force on his/her body which can result in massive injury. There are 8 gates in a body. If all 8 are opened, the body no longer has any limits and can move as fast as it wants. But opening all 8 gates is often fatal and depending on the move, it can kill the user.

xxxxCHAKRA TYPES
xxxThere are five different types of chakra: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lighting. The Uchiha clan tends to have the fire type of chakra, although Sasuke can use both lightning and fire. Kakashi is of the lightning type. Naruto is of the wind type. Most Jounin can use at least two types of chakra. Using two types of chakra at the same time is often a result of a bloodline limit. For Haku, he used water and wind types to create ice. Yamato uses earth and water to create wood. To find out the type of chakra a ninja uses they use paper from a tree that feeds off of chakra. If the paper splits you're type of chakra is wind, if it bursts into flames yours is fire, gets soggy its of water, the paper crumples if you are of lightning, and it turns to dust if you are of earth chakra.

xxxxxBOUNTY HUNTER
Bounty hunters have the same stats as the class they're replicating -- but -1 to both stats. So, instead of 7/7; they'd have 6/6.


xxxxxSAGES
Sages have the same stats as the Freelancer class.


xxxxxADJACENT STAT SYSTEM
Any stat that is equal to, or adjacent, to your own stat, then that person is considered to have an equivalent Speed//Strength.
xxxShinobi A's Speed:1 2 3 4 [5 6 7] 8 9 10
xxxShinobi B's Speed:1 2 3 4 [5 6 7] 8 9 10
Please note that Shinobi A speed is superior to Shinobi B by a small margin. However, the Adjacent System makes it so that If Shinobi B's speed is adjacent to Shinobi A's then that means they are within the same Ballpark in terms of speed. Basically a Draw, shich leaves the two shinobi to rely on their RPing skills to decide a victor.
xxxShinobi A's Speed:1 2 3 4 [5 6 7] 8 9 10
xxxShinobi B's Speed:1 2 3 4 [5 6 7] 8 9 10
Now if we look at the situation it appears that Shinobi B is slower that Shinobi A by a much larger margin. Now that Shinobi B's speed is outside the adjacent range of Shinobi A that means that Shinobi A will be theoretically faster than Shinobi B, thus having the advantage in RP.


xxxxxMAXIMUM STATS
The highest a Stat can reach is 15. At this point, it is represented by X, or MAX. No boost can push a stat past 15, and all boosts that would equal to higher than 15 will be ignored.


xxxxxDEFINING SPEED
*this applies even when extending beyond the cap
We would like to please note that no matter what your speed rank is, you will never meet the level of seemingly instant transportation/teleportation, or even the visage of shifting around the field. Only jutsu may achieve this, and only very costly ones. Even styles cannot achieve this no matter how high the rank is that you obtain. Consider your speed very symmetrical in terms of comparison to canon characters, with the highest of ranks only ever meeting Raikage or Minato.

xxxxxDEFINING STRENGTH
*this applies even when extending beyond the cap
Similarly, we'd like to define strength. Regardless of what your strength is, you'll never be able to punch mountains apart or punch people 500 yards back or some outrageous thing. The highest levels of strength can meet Tsunade's power, perhaps even a little beyond, but little better than that.

xxxxxBODY FLICKER
The Body Flicker skill is also a part of this system. For ten chakra and only up to three times a fight, you may move at 1.5x the speed for one singular post. The next post you will move at one half your base speed due to strain in your body. This skill is meant to be used strategically and wisely, because you're very open for attacks the post after. This does not effect arm speed, only leg speed.

xxxxxWEAPON/TAI STYLE STAT BOOSTS
Rule Number One: At any given time in the roleplay, a character can only receive one style boost in speed and strength from their Taijutsu/Weapon styles, no matter how many they stack together.
Rule Number Two: The only exceptions to this rule are the Eight Inner Gates when used with one other style, and styles that are meant to stack together and build upon one another--the only known example of this is the Lightning Step/Slavedriver combo. The crew can always be notified if any more styles are made like this, but a bare minimum is appreciated.

xxxxxDEMON STAT BOOSTS
Demons can extend your stats past their caps by a maximum while at least one tail is present. The maximum boosts may extend by:
Strength/Speed
+1/+1 for the Ichibi

+1/+2 for the Nibi

+2/0 for the Sanbi

+2/+1 for the Yonbi

+2/+3 for the Gobi

+1/+1 for the Rokubi

+1/+3 for the Shichibi

+4/0 for the Hachibi

+3/+3 for the Kyuubi

xxxxxANGEL STAT BOOSTS
Angel can extend your stats past their boosts by a maximum while at least one wing is present. The maximum boosts may extend by:
Strength/Speed
+1/+1 for the Ichiha

+2/0 for the Niha

+3/0 for the Sanha

+1/+1 for the Yonha

0/+2 for the Goha

+2/+1 for the Rokuha

+1/+2 for the Shichiha

+2/+2 for the Hachiha

+1/+1 for the Kyuuha
