A village separated by its practice of sealing jutsu. They have created a science known as alchemy, an ability that utilizes the unleashing aspect of sealing techniques. The ninjas that live here are known as Alchemists. These ninjas have spent most of their lives perfecting Alchemy. Some villages also like to call Alchemy the ninjutsu with "no handseals".

Howard Clan: Able to use Alchemy since birth. They are already well equipped with all the skills of Alchemy when they are born so they don't have to learn it again. They also are the only people known to do Alchemy without circles.
Dante Clan: They are a unique clan who performed powerful alchemy upon their bodies, changing their inane abilities and body and turning themselves into more of chimera than humans. The leader of this clan is a woman merely known as Dante who all the members sacrificed their lives for power from her and now obey her.

Sealmaster's Tattoo - FreeA body modification created by the Sealmaster clan. This seal is actually the cause of their abilities in the sense of sealing away certain attributes. With this tattoo that stretches across their entire body, the Sealmaster can cause the opponent to be unable to use clan jutsu, as long as the Sealmaster is touching the opponent.
Sealmaster's Tattoo: Stage 2 [ Unlocked at 30,000 Chakra. ] ( Strength+ 1/2 Intelligence Damage ) A more advanced version, by applying further seals into the tattoo that was already upon the body. This second stage of the tattoo allows for a special weapon to be crafted which can be any form the Sealmaster wishes upon creation. This weapon actually unwinds itself from the seal upon the opponent's dominant hand and is then capable of acting like an unbreakable weapon. This weapon, upon striking the opponent. Can lock away one clan jutsu of the Sealmaster's choice, as long as the wound remains.
Sealmaster's Tattoo: Final Stage [ Unlocked at 75,000 Chakra ] A final version of the Tatoo. This causes the tattoo to take on a color of the Sealmaster's choice, in order to become more personalized than the standard black ink. The tattoo can now be used in such a way, as to prevent the Sealmaster from needing to worry about the effects of their sealing style jutsu. [Other then "I Forbid It!"] This also allows for the Sealmaster to be able to return items that transform back to their original form, if they connect with their body, or their tattoo made weapon.
[ S ] Demon Sealing Technique - 4000 Chakra [Must have Sealmaster's Tattoo: Final Stage] ( Speed+1/2 Intelligence vs Opponent's Reaction ) A technique created by the Sealmaster clan in order to combat against the hosts of the Tailed Demons. This technique is a taijutsu styled strike, used by striking with the pointer and middle fingers of the right hand, and then instantly following up with a strike of the palm with the left hand and applying their chakra through the connection points. This will actually cause the opponent to reverse in transformation, returning them to their human form.
[ S ] Curse Sealing Technique - 4000 Chakra [Must have Sealmaster's Tattoo: Final Stage] ( Speed+1/2 Intelligence vs Opponent's Reaction ) A technique created by the Sealmaster clan in order to combat against the hosts of the Curse Seals. This technique is a taijutsu styled strike, used by striking with the pointer and middle fingers of the left hand, and then instantly following up with a strike of the palm with the right hand and applying their chakra through the connection points. This will actually cause the opponent to reverse in transformation, returning them to their human form.
[ S ] Orochi Sealing Technique - 3500 Chakra [Must have Sealmaster's Tattoo: Final Stage] ( Speed+1/2 Intelligence vs Opponent's Reaction ) A technique created by the Sealmaster clan in order to combat against the hosts of the Orochi Powers. This is a taijutsu technique that is used by connecting with each point of the Orochi power armor. Once connected with each piece of the invisible armor, the Sealmaster can actually choose to lock the Orochi power from use, for the remainder of the battle.
Tattoo Shield - 1000 Chakra ( Defense +10 ) A technique created by the Sealmaster clan for defense. This technique causes a shield to create from the tattoos across their body, in order to defend from a forward direction. This is activated, by the Sealmaster raising one or both arms in a defensive posture.
[ S ] Limb Sealing - 2000 Chakra ( Cancels Bleed Effects, restores lost limbs. Does not heal the damage dealt ) A technique created by the Sealmaster clan, which allows for them to actually recombine lost limbs, or seal off bleeding wounds from lost limbs, by manipulating their Tattoos to cover and stop the bleeding. This can only be done to lost limbs, or missing appendages.
[ T ] Tattoo Fang - 600 Chakra [Must have Sealmaster's Tattoo: Stage 2] ( Strength+5 Damage ) A taijutsu technique, that causes the user to be able to manipulate their Tattoo in order to become a claw over their lesser hand. This claw can be used in combat in order to injure the opponent, and functions like their Tattoo based weapon.
[ T ] Tattoo Snare - 500 Chakra ( Intelligence vs Opponent's Strength, for restriction. | Strength+5 Damage ) A taijutsu styled technique that causes the tattoo on the Sealmaster's lesser arm to be able to be launched out like a whip from the wrist. This whip can wrap itself around the opponent and be used to restrict their movement or hold them close. If severed, the severed portion evaporates, and appears back on the Sealmaster's arm.
Even among a village of Alchemists, some of the most uptight and well-studied in the world of shinobi, there had to be somewhere to drink. Every civilization had one, and every drinking hole needed music. That was why Reiji was there.
He had not been in the Land of Fantasy for very long, and the Feudal Amestris was the first place he went, purely by chance. Quickly, he found a place to set up and play, and the coin and women (and some men) began to roll in. He had been here a couple weeks now, and saw little reason to leave with the coin and flesh piling at his feet.
Even now, early in the evening, his pile of coin was growing in size and there was a savory lump of flesh presenting herself before him now. He flashed her a wink and a smile, his smile the only thing brighter than his piercing pale-blue eyes. She melted into them, as most people did. Reiji Ichtaca was enjoying the attention.
Even as he flirted with the barfly, he never stopped his playing, the twangs of his biwa carrying out through the tavern, echoing off window and wall, the sound exotic and foreign to this place, his very appearance as much an oddity as the strange instrument he played.
As he finished his first song with a furious strumming of his Biwa, the drunken crowd erupted into applause, a few patrons tossing a silver or two into the open case at his feet. He nodded his thanks, his eyes lingering on each and every person, as if he saw only them in that moment before moving on to the next person.
Everyone seemed to like him here, as they usually did. Reiji took great pains to make himself as unassuming and likable as possible. It was a part of the job. Even now, his relaxed posture as he leaned lazily against the bar strumming as if he were paying no attention to what he was playing, even his smiles and winks, were all carefully crafted to win people over. To make people like him.
As he went into his next song, he started out slow, being sure to make eye contact with the woman from earlier as he did. He could have her tonight, he knew. He considered the prospect as he played. Perhaps he would invite her to his room later, if nothing or nobody more interesting came along.

Alyr Dante Genin[x][x][x][x]Feudal Amestris [[x][x]↽╼┬┬┬╾↝⌤↜╼┬┬┬╾⇁ [x][x]﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ SPD: ( 10 ) | STR: ( 03 ) | DEF: ( 02 ) INT: ( 20 ) | RSV: ( 03 ) | SPR: ( 02 ) [x][x]PERC: ( 11.5 ) | RACT: ( 10.75 ) [x][x]﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋ She had been in and out of practically every building within her home village for a while now. Of course with nothing to really focus upon despite having such an abundant need for training that she really could not afford to do anything other than learn the intricate tasks involved with alchemy and their overly mathematical and scientific functions. She slowly rolled her shoulders and strolled into the small bar room that was one of the very few places someone could buy a drink in this village full of scientists and maniacs. Within the bar were the usual combination of drunk patrons and woman. All fawning over each other and their drinks at roughly equal intervals. What was surprising though was the production of music from one side of the room, a male with a string instrument that she did not know the name of was sitting and strumming away while collecting the eyes of the woman and the coin of both male and female alike. Alyr casually rolled her eyes in initial response to the male's presence all together, although the addition of music was nice she did not feel it was entirely necessary compared to the low drone of drunk communication and silence that normally filled the area when she came by for a drink. Making her way up to the counter, she slides up onto a stool and taps the top of the bar counter a couple times with a single finger in order to call the bar keeper over. "I want a drink. Water to Wine. Bloody." She says casually, before leaning back on the stool and placing some money upon the counter in order to pay for her drink. Her crimson gaze observing as the bar keeper grabs a simple clear glass of what appeared to be water and a fine martini styled glass from below the counter. Placing the glass upon the counter top, the bar keeper pours the clear watery liquid into the glass and then puts the bottle away again. Removing a red colored rag from his belt, he casually sets it over the top of the glass and applies a small amount of chakra through the alchemic symbol on the rag and then tugs the entire rag away revealing the liquid on the inside having taken a deep red color. The bar keeper than retrieves a few strawberries and other red colored fruit from a small scooper under the bar, dropping them into the glass and finishing the entire thing with a black straw before pushing it over the counter towards Alyr and retrieving the money she had left. Alyr retrieves her drink, giving it a solid stir with her wrist before turning and crossing her legs one of the other and leaning an elbow onto them and sipping from her drink while looking over at the male who was still strumming away. "You know anything a little.. Angrier?" She calls out after gulping down the first sip of her drink.
Raiji continued playing to the adoring crowd, much to the joy of the patrons there. His pile of gold only grew, and the gathering of people wanting a simple handshake or something more intimate was growing by the verse. His smile never faded, and neither did those of the audience gathered around him. His music and even the language of the songs was foreign to this place, but the patrons did not seem to mind, enchanted by both the sounds of his playing and the drinks in their cups.
As he finished his song, the raucous applause erupted in all corners of the tavern, most of the patrons having long since dropped whatever they were doing or discussing in order to listen intently to the smiling foreigner with the strange instrument and the voice of an angel (and eyes to match, as any receptive woman here would tell you). Reiji smiled and bowed, a gesture that in itself was foreign to this place, muttering his “thank yous” below the sound of a roaring crowd. He was preparing to pack up and head upstairs when another woman approached, taking a seat near him with a glass of red wine and a salacious look in her eye.
This one certainly seemed less desperate to get to know him personally, but there was something about this newcomer that drew his attention. The thought of convincing her to come upstairs with himself and the other woman crossed his mind for a moment, though it did not show on his face.
When she finally opened her mouth to address him, it was not a proposition, but a request that she spoke. She wanted something angrier than the songs he was playing. It was not often that someone took issue with his set, or made requests for him, and this only served to pique his interest more.
Reiji beamed at the woman, his smiling face all gleaming white teeth and shining blue eyes.
The original woman, who had been intent on following Reiji to his room, saw him move his attention to someone else and left, looking dejected. Reiji did not seem to notice her departure, so focused his attention on this newcomer. There were always women like the first, no matter where he performed. This surly stranger, however, was something new entirely.
”I’m afraid anger is not my forte…” Reiji said, his beaming white smile wider and kinder than ever.
”But I do know one tale.”
With this, Reiji began to play the Song of the Spider Maiden, an ancient song/tale of a virginal shrine maiden who fell in love with a traveler, only for it to end in tragedy, his death, and herself being cursed to live forever in darkness as a spider, eating all who came close to her shrine. The context would be lost on most people there, as he sang this and all songs in the traditional language, but the emotions were all there.
Innocence, soft and slow; Love, sweet and uplifting; Fear, suspenseful and unpredictable; Sadness; Slow and forlorn: Anger, fast and violent; and finally, an abrupt end as the spider queen is slain, going to join her lost love in the next life.
As he strummed the final chord, he lifted a hand to wipe a tear from his own eye, before looking back up at the woman.
”Was that more to your liking, Miss…?”

He had immediately brought up the fact that he was not capable of playing the exact styling of music that she was requestion. That in itself was not a surprise to her, seeing as he did not possess the specific instrument that such music would be required to play. Of course he proposed the playing of a tale instead which was a very.. Fantasy Bard.. Thing to do. She rolled her shoulders in response while taking a sip of the drink in her hand and closing her crimson gaze in order to better immerse herself into the music that the male began to play and the tale that he stirred for both herself and the room of people around them. By the time he had finished what he was playing, she casually nodded her head and opened her eyes once again in order to observe the male musician as well as prepare her response to his obvious question in regard to her name. "Dante.. Alyr Dante." She says simply, while turning slightly upon the stool and setting he now mostly empty drink upon the counter. Her frail seeming fingers plucking a single cut strawberry from the glass itself as she leans forwards and plops the fruit into her mouth while locking eyes with the male musician that she was speaking through before she slowly chews and swallows the piece of strawberry she had clutched between her teeth. "Not exactly what I was looking for, but I suppose it would have to do, if that is all you are capable of.. Musician." She says simply with a sour expression crossing her pale features for a moment. She knew something was missing that should grant the male a more acceptable choice of music, to which she specifically was looking for. But she could not quite place exactly what it was that she or he, would need to do in order to switch into the genre that it was she wanted. After all, Alyr was no musician, so she was not one to be able to just spring forth a solution for someone else's past time hobbies. She slowly turns to look back over the counter towards the bar keeper, a slender hand raising up to push her dark black hair back behind an ear as she speaks towards the bar keeper once again. "Give me another real quick, would you?" She calls out, while leaning an elbow on the counter and her chin on her hand in order to observe the bar keeper go through the same process as before in order to reproduce another of the drinks she had requested before the musician's last performance. Once the bar keeper was done, and had produced the new drink in front of her, Alyr retrieves it and allows him to remove the old glass. She then turns and slides from the stool she was sitting on while stirring the drink in her hand with slow spins of her wrist. Alyr would slowly make her way across the short distance between herself and the musician. Stopping only to lean forwards and set her drink down upon the floor before him. Rather casually, she would use a nail to pierce the tip of one of her fingers before locking eyes with the male musician once again and walking her two fingers up his leg before quickly drawing an alchemical symbol upon the face of the siwa. Her crimson hues sparkling momentarily as she applies the chakra to the symbol itself and immediately the entire string instrument would shine and shift in shape until it took on the proportions of an electric guitar with a rather sinister devilish gleam and a heavily tinted blue aesthetic. With one final step of her fingers, she would pluck a string as a momentary groan of soul filled pain would emerge from the guitar itself before it returned to what a normal guitar would create when strummed. Smiling rather devilishly herself, she would slowly pull away from the musician and retrieve her drink, raising it to her lips and taking a sip straight from the glass this time while using a frail finger to keep the straw from striking her in one of her crimson eyes.

Reiji’s smile persisted as the strange woman, clad in black, introduced herself as Alyr Dante. He recognized the name as one of the main clans in this land. He knew this much from simply sitting and listening in this very place. His smile did not even falter when she expressed displeasure in the tale he had just spun, before ordering another drink, though for once, his playing did. He had never had a poor reception to his playing.
This woman was somehow different than the others, but Reiji could not put his finger on why. Perhaps her blue-blooded tastes were simply too high brow for his style of playing? His foreign songs harsh on her ears? Obviously not a true lover of the arts, he assumed.
As the woman received her drink, to Reiji’s surprise, she turned back to him, kneeling before him. He did not let his momentary confusion show as she set her drink down, and pierced her own finger, nor did he show his alarm as she put her now-bloody fingers on his robes, a gesture he was unsure how to react to in this moment.
His surprise only grew as she began to touch his Biwa, his most prized possession, tracing a symbol with such deft quickness that he scant had time to react before the seal had been drawn. Before his very eyes, his Biwa began to transform, growing and shifting into a new instrument that Reiji was not at all familiar with.
His smile did not wilt with his confidence, as he awkwardly held the foreign instrument, examining it and feigning fascination as she plucked a string and the instrument began to moan like a ghost. He hoped it had other sounds it could make.
Ever one for a new challenge, Reiji plucked a string, and then another, testing the tuning of the instrument. As he began to tune the strings to an arrangement he was more familiar with, he spoke idly to the patron, Alyr.
” Dante. That is a noble family around these parts, yes?” He spoke, his accent foreign and thick here.
He plucked another string, and then strummed a chord, the sound discordant and distorted, but not without it’s own beauty.
He tried another chord. And another. He did not know what style of music she was requesting, so he began to just make something angry up on the spot, with simple chords, deep and foreboding.

We certainly end up seated in important places, to speak mildly." She says with a small smile while raising back up to a standing position once again, her free hand dusting herself off from where she may or may not have touched the ground during this entire ordeal. Alyr turned, taking a clearly obvious step towards where the musician's pile of coins had been placed moments before and returned to her seat while the musician toyed with his newly formed instrument with a clear attempt to hide his confusion. After all, alchemy was an art of equivalent exchange to which changing the form of one thing to another always happened to cost just.. A little.. Extra.. Seating herself upon the stool once again, she leaned back against the counter and observed him silently. She could immediately tell he both had zero understanding of the functionality behind an electric guitar, and even less information about the type of music that one could play upon one. Knowledge that was understandable, considering the string instrument he was playing previously. Although the moment that he had fine tuned his strings and managed to make the sound of the guitar at least closer to his own liking, was the moment he had begun to pluck at the strings and produce chords that he was clearly judging by ear alone. Acceptable at least, he was not a half baked musician if he could make the sound of an unfamiliar instrument at least minorly appealing. As the musician began to strum out a rather deep, foreboding and angry tune with a simple series of chords Alyr slowly allowed a smile to creep across her pale features once again. Immediately hiding it soon after behind the brim of her drink as she listened to the male stumble his way through unfamiliar music all the way to it's end. When he had finished, she would set her half finished drink upon the counter and lean forwards on her knees, bringing her hands together in a slow clap. "That was simple, but closer then what I was expecting of you, Musician. Congrat~ulations." She said with a click of her tongue against the roof of her mouth before retrieving her drink and taking another sip of it once again. She was certainly having her fun, but she did not anticipate any further attempts from this male she had brought her attention upon. He would probably pack up in a few minutes with whatever was left of his earnings and scatter out in order to find a well-mannered Howard clan member who would shift his guitar back into its former instrument at a cheap price after all.
As Reiji finished his impromptu song, as angry and dark as he was capable of on this new and unfamiliar instrument, he held the last note for a long time, letting it fade out on it’s own as he once again made eye contact with this noble audience, seemingly an audience of one judging from the lack of attention he paid to anyone else in the establishment as he eagerly awaited her critique of his performance. If their conversation up until now was any indication, she would definitely have notes. Constructive criticism, as Reiji chose to think of it.
This constructive criticism came immediately, in the form of a barbed compliment. Reiji’s cheerful demeanor did not flicker for even a moment as he offered a very sincere bow.
”Your kind words are like music to my own ears, truly.”
He looked back up, holding his new instrument in his hands as protectively as if it were the Biwa he had held only minutes before, that which had been his most prized and valuable possession.
”I do apologize for my mediocrity. I’m afraid this instrument is strange and new to me
Reiji paused for a moment as if suddenly having a thought. In truth this thought had been living in his mind since this strange and interesting noblewoman had walked into this establishment.
”… Come back tomorrow and I will play for you again, much better than tonight. Would you offer me a second opportunity to impress you?”
His gaze was deep and unmoving, as if his pale blue eyes were searching for something in hers, desperate for her approval. An expression practiced over and over, perfected. A magic of his own, one without seals and circles.

Her gaze observing the musician as he continues to not only compliment her, but also apologize for the lack of knowledge behind the musical instrument she had transformed his into. Smiling, she brough a pale white hand up and covered her mouth, symbolizing the act of hiding a blushing face although she was not reacting in any way that would be even close to embarrassment or even the need to blush whatsoever. This simply just being an action that she had commonly seen between others when placed into this sort of scenario. At last he had offered for her to return to this place on the following day, and by then he would have gained the knowledge and ability for him to truly impress her with his musical ability. It was certainly an offer that she would only waste her time in refusing. Between the correct drink that she favored and the fact she really had nothing better to do in this area anymore, Alyr was most certainly going to be spending a few days or nights here as long as her time and income allows. Lowering her hand to swap it with the brim of her glass, she took another solid sip of her drink and then proceeded to repeat the act of retrieving a strawberry and munching down on it while keeping her gaze locked upon the male before her. He was practically acting like a lost puppy with the way his eyes pleaded and clung upon her. She took every movement and motion, including that of chewing the strawberry itself in an overly exaggerated and slow motions until she was finished, tapping the counter in order to order yet another of the drinks from the bartender. "You know.. That sounds like a good idea to me. I had already intended to return, so at least it is good to know that there will be some sort of entertainment here tomorrow as well." She pauses, as the bartender returns with her next drink and swaps it out with the one that she had just finished. Alyr retrieving it and raising it to her lips once again, her gaze never failing to peer upon the male musician aside from the action of a blink or two. "So if you have business elsewhere, you can feel free to head out. I wont keep you, it is not like I own the bar or something." She says with a short laugh, before returning to her drink once again.
His response was loaded before she could finish her sentence, leaving his lips as smooth and seductive as honey, his smile white and gleaming as he made direct eye contact with the Dante woman.
”But the hour is late, and I have a new instrument to learn. I will see you on the morrow, Lady Alyr, and I look forward to the opportunity to impress you further then. I bid you a good night.”
With this, Reiji began to pack up his belongings, scooping his earnings into a case now far too small for his instrument, and made his way to leave for the stairs, but paused for a moment.
”It seems I never gave you my own name, Lady Alyr. I am Ichtaca Reiji… Good Night”
With that he made for the stairs and to his own room.

She says with yet another smile hidden behind the drink glass in her hand, while looking right back at the male musician she was speaking to. It was fairly clear he was on his way out, seeing as he had basically hinted to such moments before and his immediately follow up words were just as she was believing would happen. She would casually turn her attention to a clock that was located behind the bar and raise an eyebrow slightly before returning her gaze upon the musician who had already begun to pack up and leave the main bar area. As he finished collecting his things and began heading for the stairs she quickly downed her final drink of the night before she began to prepare herself to leave the bar for a little while. A sudden thought as she had looked upon the time reminded her that she had someone to meet at another village. A simple task for her, and certainly a quick one as well. She snapped her crimson hues back to the musician as he spoke once again before he made his way up the stairs. A simple remark, his name. "It is true, you had not.. Have a pleasant evening, Ichtaca. Goodnight." She says with a short wink, before laying the last needed coins upon the bartop and turning to head her own way towards the door and through it swiftly afterwards. She would not take long to make her way from the village and to the exit of the village, and with that she would be on her way to her meeting place.
