Maggot Style Aburame Clan Member

Aburame's Maggot style is a newer strain of the Aburame Clan. It could be thought of as another train of thought in the Aburame that using beetles alone limited them greatly. Instead this style uses a type of larval insects which can grow into a large fly as it consumes meat. It if focused more on long term assassinations and cruelty than other styles.

The maggots feast on the blood and chakra of the user being more difficult to control than other insects. Only an Aburame Clan member who has been trained from birth in their use would even be able to. As a result this strain is newer and members tend to be younger and it requires a strong body for the user to be successful with it at all.

Techniques with this style tend to require touch or contact with another so that the eggs can infest the host's flesh.

There are three basic stages of life for these organisms.

Egg > Larval > Mature > Death

Alternatively females may also become Queens. Queens are relatively large but are always still simply laying eggs. Eggs take a day to hatch however they can be hatched instantly to make maggots using jutsu. Maggots are unique in that they are bred so that they do not mature unless a jutsu is used to trigger their growth to their next form.

Users of this style are typically disfigured from using it making them pariahs. It is considered even amongst the Ninja clans to be uncommonly cruel to force this upon a child and yet trying times call for harsh measures.

The maggots are voracious as children. Tiny claws allow them to move around the inside of the body eating flesh and damaging organs. They are small enough that they will go entirely unseen unless the infected is cut open as the eggs hatch beneath the skin.

In their adult stage they resemble large flies however unlike typically harmless flies they have clawed feet and gnashing mouths. They can tear humans apart in seconds. Maggots and Flies both have an uncontrollable lust to burrow deep into other ninja except for their hive as it houses a queen whose scent they are attached to.

The maggots are relatively vulnerable to heat and can be purged from the body in a number of ways (save vomiting) and may require self harm to be safely purged. They can burrow into any flesh and can burrow through fabrics, leathers and animal flesh armour though they cannot move through metal.

Maggot Style
Rank: E
Range: N/A
Description: See Above

Requirements: Must be an Aburame Clan Member. Must not being using another Style.
Permission: All Aburame Clan members

Infesting Touch
Rank: E
Range: 0ft
Description: The user's hands are visibly covered in maggot eggs. Upon contact with another the user, without their will, transfer the eggs to another ranging anywhere from 100 for brief contact up to ten thousand for extended contract (for example a hand shake).

Requirements: Maggot Style
Permission: All Aburame Clan Members

Rot Consumption
Rank: E
Range: 0ft
Description: Using the maggots and flies internal to their body a clan member using this style can digest rotting food without harm to their own body by allowing the insects inside of them to process it. An often useless trait however it makes anything a source of sustenance to a user of this style.

Requirements: Maggot Style
Permission: All Aburame Clan Members


Hatching
Rank: D
Range: Close Proximity (About 20ft)
Description: The eggs nestled beneath someone's skin hatch early allowing the maggots to begin their work. Maggots tend to be about 1 inch long as they approach maturation but live below the host's muscles making them often difficult to remove without surgery.

Requirements: Target must have some level of infection, Maggot Style
Permission: All Aburame Clan Members

Larval Growth
Rank: D
Range: Close Proximity (About 20ft)
Description: The user focuses their chakra and causes the insects to rapidly mature. Upon reaching maturation they begin to quickly consume the target from the inside out causing great pain and more often than not death. To remove the insects one must either set themselves ablaze or change their form for example though other means exist.

Requirements: An infestation of maggots must exist in the target. Mmaggot style
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Plague Breath
Rank: D
Range: 30ft Cone
Description: The user takes a deep breath drawing the surrounding air into their lungs before expelling a combination of either eggs, maggots or even flies. It is a new technique by which to transfer the infection to a victim. It can be expressed either as a cough (lowering the range considerably) or by projectile vomit.

Requirements: Willingness to throw up, Must have Infesting Touch
Permission: All Aburame Clan Members


Infection Cloud
Rank: D
Range: 10ft Circular Radius
Description: An alternative version of the Plague Breath technique. Rather than expel gas from one's mouth the user expels it via their pores. A cloud of eggs surrounds them (as maggots and flies are too large to be expelled) and can be held around them with concentration over multiple turns. Primarily a defensive move used to stop an assault.

Requirements: Plague Breath
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Consuming Torrent
Rank: D
Range: 50ft
Description: The user expels either the larva or insects from themselves and directs them to attack a point within 50ft of their person. This requires hand gestures typically after making hand signs. The flies tend to look like great black clouds during this attack. It is one of the few directly offensive abilities this style uses.

Requirements: Larval Growth
Permission: Aburame Clan Members



Maggot Style Enhancement: Plague
Rank: C
Range: N/A
Description: An enhancement to the insects. Their bites now hold a concoction of diseases which debilitate those who are infected over months. Typically the diseases start as unnoticeable coughs and sneezes before adapting into diarrhoea, vomiting and finally death. Once the infection is set it is hard to purge as it is not one disease but instead a powerful mixture and requires an expert to do.

Requirements: Maggot Style. Must be a Chuunin to use.
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Flesh Clone
Rank: C
Range: 50ft Circular
Description: A user of the maggot style may use maggots to create a flesh and blood clone of themselves. Different from other clone styles as the clones are flesh and blood making it highly effective in combat. However these clones are not resilient typically splitting into their constituent parts with a single blow. The maggots that comprise the clone will immediately die upon being hit though only in the area they were hit. The constituent maggots may fall upon the person who hits the clone and attempt to burrow under the skin making this a risky clone to attack head on.

Clones made with this jutsu are merely clones of flesh. They cannot use any techniques and they really serve more as a distraction than as a real means of attack.

Requirements: Maggot Style
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Overmind
Rank: B
Range: Global
Description: The user's mind grows in power and they become able to command and influence the insects on a large scale. They are no longer independently driven by primal thought but connected by the queens to the thoughts of the Ninja in possession of this style. This extends the range of both the Hatching and Larval Growth Jutsus to be Global. It also allows the user to take in sensory information from Queens about what is happening.

Requirements: Maggot Style
Permission: Aburame Clan Member

Flesh Deconstruction
Rank: B
Range: 0ft
Description: The user is able to, for an instant, turn into a mass of flies rather than having a solid form and split apart and then reform in the same instant. It is an effective way for the user to avoid attacks.

Requirements: Overmind
Permission: Aburame Clan Members


Final Evolution
Rank: A
Range: Global
Description: Upon ascension to this level one is now able to force a female or male to evolve into a queen of the flies. The queen begins to rapidly lay eggs causing great though often unnoticed discomfort (being thought of as nothing more than a persistent stomach ache). At this point death is often inevitable unless the infection is found.

Requirements: Must have Overmind. Must have Hatching and Larval Growth
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Pact of Flesh
Rank: A
Range: 0ft
Description: The user's symbiotic relationship takes a whole new level allowing the flies and maggots to now give up their flesh for the user. Their flesh is consumed and processed by the flies who patch wounds rapidly giving the user rapid regeneration for a long period of time.

Requirements: Overmind
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Corpse Feast
Rank: A
Range: Global
Description: The overmind sends the bugs into a sudden frenzy causing them to eat their way from the outside of the host. They go first for the vital organs for example the brain and then for the surrounding muscle. After making their way to the skin they stop eating and unless they receive another command leave the body a hollow husk.

Requirements: Overmind
Permission: Aburame Clan

Hollowed Thrall
Rank: S
Range: Global
Description: The user sends a command to the queen to take control of the body that has been hollowed out. This body then seeks others to infect but otherwise leads a relatively normal life. The body is considered as having the Infecting Touch ability at all times. Upon contact eggs will be transferred. Bodies like these however cannot react quickly and if their link to the overmind is severed (perhaps if the Overmind is unwillingly knocked unconscious) then they will revert to a bestial state and act much like large carnivorous flies.

Requirements: Corpse Feast
Permission: Aburame Clan Members

Thanks for your help. I've clarified a few things and added some new jutsu to finish this off.

Rot Consumption, Consuming Torrent and Flesh Deconstruction are new. I've made edits to the others.

Yep that's fine. It's just to allow RPCs with the style to eat corpses. It's supposed to be related to this as an assassination style where the user may find themselves foregoing clean food.

With regards to eggs the purpose is that they're invisible to the naked eye for a long term assassination. I'm not sure how best to handle this. Any recommendations?

I liked this Aburame variant so much, and since he's allowing it to all aburame, I'm approving it even though the guy quit... with some minor changes I made.

Glad you're still around. I saw some of you'd erased a profile you'd started, so I assumed. Anyway, the only change I made was making the eggs on the hand visible.
