Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

[spoilername="Steadfast Core Ability Table"][fontsize="12"]The Steadfast ninja is one who doesn't go down easily. They are tough and durable, able to resist heavy amounts of damage and defend their teammates. They are also incredibly determined, and it is impossible to ever truly break them down.

Maximum Defense<i></i> - Modification (2 points)
Restriction- Requires Defensive Technique
A Steadfast can learn this variation on the Defensive Technique once they have practiced it to its full potential. Instead of dodging around like a flea, they can focus on guarding all of their weak points in order to reduce they amount of damage from attacks. As an alternative, they can almost completely forgo attacking, throwing all of their energy into evading enemy attacks instead.
Effect: When using Defensive Stance, you can trade 1 point of Accuracy in order to reduce oncoming damage by 5% instead of gaining a dodge bonus (to a maximum of -2 accuracy and -10% damage taken), or you can trade 1 point of Accuracy for 1 point of Dodge up to a maximum of 6 (as opposed to the previous 4).

Great Fortitude<i></i> - Passive (3 points)
Restriction- C Rank and up
A Steadfast that learns this has mastered their ability to take hits without injury, making their bodies almost impossibly strong. It takes quite a bit to make them actually feel an attack, and even then you might not illicit a reaction.
Effect: Ignores damage each round. How much is reduced is based on your character level, this skill reduces 75 Damage per level each round.

Stand Fast<i></i> - Independent Special Move (2 points)
Restriction- C Rank and up
A Steadfast who learns this particular ability is able to tap into a great reservoir of inner resolve, temporarily becoming able to suffer huge amounts of damage without incurring any serious harm to themselves by taking an absolutely defensive stance.
Effect: For one round, the user reduces all damage against themselves by 75% but cannot attack in that round. Usable only once per combat. Does not take any more Damage reduction buffs. If the user is not hit during the round this is used, it will not count as being used.

Human Shield<i></i> - Independent Special Move (2 points)
Restriction- Requires Body Switch
A Steadfast is excellent at taking blows, but not everybody else is. Using their natural ability to soak damage an extension of the Kawarimi (Body Switch) jutsu, a Stalwart can leap in front of an ally and take attacks for them, perhaps preventing them from being harmed.
Effect: The Steadfast can switch places with an ally that is attacked at a cost of 0.5 AP (they cannot switch places with an ally when they are being attacked). Allies that are aware of this ability and can Body Switch with real clones can designate the Steadfast as a target; if the Steadfast is unwilling to switch, then the jutsu automatically fails. The triggering attack is resolved against the Steadfast instead, who can attempt to dodge it normally.

Awesome Power<i></i> - Modification (2 points)
Restriction- C Rank and up, Requires Hidden Power
A Steadfast ninja with the ability to bring forth a deep seeded power within them will often test that power, pushing to themselves to the limits at all times until they have mastered those reserved abilities. When they are pushed again, you can expect the backlash to be severe.
Effect: The user gains +1 to their Secondary stats rather than +.5. This caps at +4 to their secondaries.

Willfull<i></i> - Boost (1 point)
Restriction- Can only be purchased a maximum of two times
A Steadfast ninja has willpower beyond that of anybody else, able to beat away enemy illusions and maintain focus on their goal. A Steadfast nin is one who possesses not only fortitude of the body, but of the mind as well.
Effect: +1 Genjutsu Save

Second Wind<i></i> - Independent Special Move (3 points)
Restriction- C Rank and up
Just when enemies think they've got the Steadfast one down, when they've hit their limits and can’t fight any harder, that’s when it’s time to use the Second Wind. Due to training, those with Steadfast have amplified their natural ability to recover to extraordinary levels.
Effect: The user regains 20% max HP, and cancels all Bleeding. This is usable only once per combat.

Free Will<i></i> - Passive (2 points)
Those with Steadfast are not easy to detain, able to break out of jutsu and traps that would seem completely foolproof by sheer willpower. They simply cannot be held down when they've got a goal to accomplish, and you’d be a fool to try.
Effect: The Steadfast gains +2 Dodge/Save against binds, and has an additional +5% chance of escaping.

Indomitable Spirit<i></i> - Passive (3 points)
Through raw training and persistence, the Steadfast ninja has a will stronger than their body. No matter what torturous pain they may be going through, they can overcome and fight on.
Effect: The user ignores one point of debuff from any and all sources (so a Blinding Flash that causes a -3 to Accuracy and Dodge only causes a -2 to the user). In addition, they are not influenced by any fear effects.

Poison Immunity<i></i> - Modification (2 points)
Restriction- Requires Poison Resistance
A Steadfast ninja who learns to resist poison takes things a step beyond what normal people would do, putting their excellent health to the test and continuing to poison themselves where others would stop. Nearly killing themselves, the Steadfast gain incredible resistance to poisons of all sorts.
Effect: Increases bonuses from Poison Resistance to Immune to Weak Poison, +3 against Strong Poison, +2 against Heavy Poison’

Undying Warrior<i></i> - Independent Special Move (2 points)
Restriction- B Rank and up
This powerful skill is the penultimate technique that any Steadfast ninja could learn, allowing them to increase their resolve to a level that defies imagination. By focusing all of their attention, energy, and willpower on one target, the Steadfast ninja is able to stave off even death until that enemy is laid to rest. This is best used when they are in desperate straights, as a final act of will.
Effect: When the Steadfast ninja starts their turn unconscious due to having 0 HP or lower (but no lower than -50% of their Max HP), they may choose to revive and act again. They receive +2 to Accuracy on all attacks against the opponent that felled them. If their HP drops below -50% of their Max HP, they fall unconscious again and cannot use this technique unless their HP rises above this value. They lose 1500 CP at the end of every round they act while having less than 0 HP (if they run out of CP, this is taken from their HP), and this technique can be used for a total of three rounds in a battle.

Resilience - Boost (1 point)
Restriction- Can be purchased up to three times
Steadfast ninja push the limits of the human body, ignoring pain and pushing on to absorbing more damage than their heartiest allies. This helps them to defend their allies as long as possible by extending the time they can remain fighting.
Effect: +2 HP modifier.

Reciprocate<i></i> - Jutsu (1 point, 1 point to rank up)
Restriction- A-Rank and up
This deadly jutsu unique to the Steadfast taps into the muscle memory of their body, taking the pain that they've suffered and turning it against an opponent. With a solid hit from their palm, the Steadfast transfers all of their pain and injury into the enemy’s body, sometimes with interest.
Rank 1: Deals all of the damage dealt to the Steadfast in the past two rounds (including damage that was negated), at +1 Accuracy
Rank 2: Deals all of the damage dealt to the Steadfast in the past three rounds (including damage that was negated), at +2 Accuracy
Cost: 3 AP, Costs CP equal to 50% of the damage Dealt
Note:</I><I> Usable at any time; does not require to be declared 2-3 rounds beforehand. Max damage is at 6800. This cannot be buffed. Uses melee accuracy.[/fontsize][/spoilername]
 
Re: Takahashi Shiori's FAQ (capped)

Picking up New Ability:
Medical Ability: Combat Medic
  • Prerequisite: C-Rank (met)
  • Medical Branch - refer to my banner.
[spoilername="Combat Medic RP"]What terrible fortunes lead to great discoveries. It was not the fall of Caduceus Tower or the death of patients in her care. It was the notion, the paralyzing fear that eventually death would come for something that was worthwhile. She loved him, she was willing to admit that to herself and to him if he ever had the gall to ask. He was the only man with vision that could not see. Having him even if it was not as a lover would have some was enough for her. He would be forever safe and always at her side, it was simply her job to become strong enough to do so. Medical science would be their fountain of youth, it was so simple and so obvious to someone as smart as she. Through practice, study and hard work she would be able to bring someone back from death. That was her plan of course, bring Sousuke back from the grave the day he died and every day thereafter. He would be immortal.

Sadly, her "brilliant" plan had a severe limitation -- death could only be a few moments past. The heart although still can be empowered again, but if the blood grew stagnant and the body was left too long without a spark, there would be no recovery. Although this was a step in the right direction, it would quickly prove to be insufficient to meet her needs.

WC: 239[/spoilername]

Forgetting the Following Abilities
  1. Concentrated Focus
    • Note: I realize now that she actually did not meet the prerequisites to use this ability anyways. Should have actually read this, admittedly I was a bit rushed when I listed my abilities and i always intended to change out my skills at a later date (this being that).
    [spoilername="Forgetting Concentrated Focus RP"]She knew not a single true bind. She was a genjutsuist and a medic, she was not meant to hold an opponent but rather to keep her allies alive long enough to defeat their shared opponent. This being one of the reasons that she rarely acted on her own and when she did she fared poorly in the given situation. She realized awhile ago that some of her skills were slipping, such as her uncanny ability to resist toxic substances, and her innate healing had slowed. had weakened over the past several weeks. She did not care about what she did previously, she only cared about holding onto what she had at any cost for fear that it would be soon ripped away from her.

    She was about to make some massive changes in her life and to do so she would need to become a different person in more ways than one. It is somewhat funny how to hold onto the things she loved she was willing to destroy everything she was. In doing so she lost everything she had, she just did not know it yet.

    WC: 187[/spoilername]
  2. Poison Resistance
    [spoilername="Poison Resistance RP"]It was a foolish and risky practice that Shiori had not grown accustomed to, rather it was the willful and possibly careless actions of her guardians that granted her such keen poison resistance. Was it a misguided act of love or an attempt on her life? It was in fact the later rather than the former all those times she fell ill and somehow gathered the strength necessary to survive what should have been a fatal dose of poison. It was not an act of love or even mercy that guided her guardian's hand or even an action made out of spite or anger for her repeated failings although that was the common assumption. He saw something or at the very least knew something of her nature he wished he had not. There was something "wrong" with her, being the man that found her this was more apparent to him than anyone else. Her life as a Takahashi was a moment of mercy and weakness on his part, something he almost immediately regretted but he could not be the villain that took away his wife's only daughter. If she died of illness, his wife would be bereaved but she would recover. Even if she later learned that he poisoned the girl, she would of course blame him her her death but he could claim he had misdosed her or overestimated her ability to overcome. His attempts on Shiori's life had failed, although there was a pinch of relief there was always the gut-wrenching fear that he would regret not trying harder.

    These days Shiori had been far from home, more with Sousuke than with her surrogate family. The taint that caused her illness and also her loss of sight, although her blindness was assumed by most to be the natural progression of a bloodline limit she assumed that she had, was no more. The Poisons were no longer in her food... in her hair... on her toothbrush and bed. She was still blind, perhaps that would be forever, but the metallic taste in her mouth that she assumed to be natural was no longer there. The dry brittle tresses that she assumed to be her unfortunate locks grew thick and full and even had a slight copper luster. Yet the effects of even recreational poisons, such as alcohol, now had a greater effect on the woman as her resistance grew weaker.

    WC: 400[/spoilername]
  3. Healing Factor/Quick Healer
    [spoilername="Healing Factor RP"]It was never right how she could just heal so quickly. It was something that had saved her life more times than she realized. Cuts, bruises, even gashes and life-threatening wounds seemed to mend without any effort on her part. Despite being blind for her whole life (or the life that she can recall), she has no scars. If she saw the raw fists and marked legs and arms of her peers she would understand why this was such an unusual aspect of her being. Why her healing slowed, she would not initially understand, it had something to do with her soul rather than her body. She was a good child... too good some would say. Blindly obedient. Playful and trusting despite living in a society of secret, suspicion and violence. She was never ambitious or wrested another for power, prestige or even honor. These attributes seemed almost inhuman if one was to truly think about it. She was human -- 100% human. But she was not right. She lacked the blight civilization has given her peers, her parents and even those she calls friend. Often this trusting viewpoint is mistaken for foolishness because that is what is would be for a person who knew better yet still acted with charity, compassion and the unwavering belief that all things said by others were true. Yet, for there to be evil one must conceive of evil. She had no concept of evil, and without thinking as a wrong-doer would, why would one lock a door unless they though that someone might perform a theft. Why would one count the change they received from a cashier unless they assumed that they might be shortchanged? She never thought of any of these things and more. Perhaps the Gods saw favor on her for being so pure of heart or perhaps this love and wonder she carried imbued her whole being and even her chakra acted in a positive manner on its own regard. Being a healer herself, her chakra was most often used in this process [healing] and it worked on her body even when it was not commanded to do so.

    Why it did what it did perhaps cannot be fully explained and the only recent change is the fact that she is considering all alternatives.[/spoilername]

This weapon was never intended to appear inert, the fan itself is aligned with the very winds and therefore the fan itself lends this weapon its power.

[spoilername="Jutsu Creator"]Over the past few days everything has changed. From the actual subterranean cityscape to the availability and accessibility to those she loved. It is often said that a person's true nature is made known when they have everything but the opposite seems to hold true for this woman. There was a time before she was a Takahashi, her time as a member of this family was truly a fleeting pleasure in the scope of her life. Yet being a Takahashi was all she knew, she could not recall the time prior to meeting her 'father' deep in the dark caverns where she felt a strange mixture of both overwhelming fear and pleasure. She never understood that sensation and she rarely questioned her genesis, neither seemed to be important to her.

She was a perpetual failure in her 'father's' eyes. He expected greatness from her and it appeared that she never made the cut. Father was a genius when it came to manipulating various shinobi techniques, a skill Shiori tried (successfully) to mimic. The skill was somewhat useful, the ability to hone a trademark skill perhaps. In the end, there was no difference in one technique in comparison to another she eventually found. Certainly the ability to create an intimidating force made for an excellent show but in the end it was a waste of chakra. Perhaps it was time or perhaps one's skills are etched onto their hearts and with a change in hers this skill was lost. Perhaps it was the revelation that it was a wasted effort. Regardless of the reasoning, she ran her hand through a series of seals, her fingers stiff, perhaps even clumsy. She frowned in disappointment at the product of her efforts, a sandy cloud of whistling wind. Her hands dropped to her sides and she shook her head. "Oh bother."

WC: 308[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Transmit Life"]The threads of life are invisible strings that tie all things in the universe together as one. The baker and the master kazekage, the cactus and the rat, the stone and the sky... All things live and all things are as one. This was why transmitting life was so easy, it was simply the transition of energy from one place to another, it was neither created nor destroyed and in most cases not even transformed, only transferred. Shiori always had an uncanny attunement to the world around her, despite not being able to see it, she could feel the world always abuzz.

She still felt the world and the energies, but she felt hers slipping away... She felt as if she was still dying. Perhaps she was, she never healed despite months of hospitalization. She was released only because her condition was not nearly as grievous as that of the one that needed her bed. In her wake was a constant trail of sand, somehow she instinctively knew that this sand was vital to her, that she would become sand on death. How she knew this is impossible to say, it is like a do-do slipping their young into another bird's nest without being taught such. It was simply a carnal instinct.

She could not transmit life because she barely had enough of her own...

WC: 226[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Deflection"]Shiori was never much of a fighter, she was a healer who glided by on the graces of her family surname. She was rather content for the most part, it was only as of late that she felt this terrible sense of discontent. With the loss of Sousuke and the urgent need to find him among the chaos of the Cabal, she took a sudden and keen interest in offense rather than defense. Deflection was a staple skill she had to get out of the habit of relying on. It was not a difficult task, she her awakening she had been rather clumsy and no longer like herself. In fact, she was starting to remember something... remember a time from before Suna. It was not a definite scene, rather it was a sense of pride and authority. The kind of pride that takes things on and breaks down barriers.

It was not a statement of capacity, rather it was a declaration of lack of need. She was going to take things head on.

WC: 173[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Shinobi 101 Genjutsu"]Now was not a time to consider losses, it was a time to count one's gains. Writhing in regret, fear and loss, blaming her lack of ambition and her lack of skill, all demonstrations of her diminished pride. Things were changing rapidly for Shiori, she was a woman on a mission but determination can only bring someone so far.

She did in fact have a natural talent: her song. Her song would be the basis of her skill set. She was a powerful entity but she truly did not understand the scope of her skill. Her life started as a child, or at the very least that was where her first memories remained. She was older than she looked, significantly so.

She just remembered something: She could tell the winds to move...

What else had she forgotten?

WC: 136[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Illusionist"]It would appear that the mystery of Shiori's origin was about to come to a close. Why it had to wait until she was nearing the end of her life, a tragic happenstance that perhaps is premature. This boding sense of lust an avarice contradicted everything Shiori was a matter of weeks ago. Surely she loved Sousuke, but not as a man, the concept of intimacy was a foreign concept to the woman. Perhaps this was in part due to the fact that visual stimulation through books and photographs went past her. This lust was different, it was not a desire for a man... or a woman... rather for a challenge. She was starting to remember something that should be exceedingly important.

She was a master of the sleight of hand. Queer really, how these skills seemed to have escaped her all of these years. She only needed to remember her greatest trick.

From the shadows she continues to elude even herself. Much like her skill to create illusions from her hiding place. Her song is everywhere.

WC: 176[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Willpower"]Shiori was a liar by nature, perhaps her greatest lie was forgetting this fact. She was even able to fool herself. She believed that she was a child. She believed that she was found by Jinsei. She believed that she was among her peers. None of this was true. Everything about her life, her origin and even her preferences were nothing more than an illusion. She was a master illusionist and this was the greatest trick of her life and years in the making.

She could be manipulated no more. She knew she was being manipulated but not by who, she did not need to know... She just needed to break out.
*Crack*​

Something is started to break within her psyche. She knows!

WC: 118[/spoilername]

[spoilername="Strategist"]Who is she?

She was a woman with a plan. A plan that encompassed many years and these were the final days. It was amazing that she was able to perceive this far into the future without the skill of future-sight, a gift not granted to her. She was an Ancient, her name and her true import still a blur. What she did know was that she had a plan and a need. It was Primus that she was after, the paragon of humanity, felled by Fuujin and Homura in a brutal and fatal battle for all those involved. She missed her opportunity. He was not only the first to harness human energy or chakra but he was able to do so with such proficiency that no other had his power.

She lived among humans as a human. The vessel she occupied lived, aged and grew but it was not meant to contain such a being. Her sight turned to shadow and then to perpetual night. That was an unanticipated consequence of her choice, but not something that could not be rectified.

There was a plan and everything was going accord.

[spoilername="Elementalist"]She was the wind and the song but she was also of the earth and the sand. Perplexing, she had no skill whatsoever over the sand or the earth but she certainly had some connection to the grit. She was leaking sand, almost as if she was made of sand and air. Wind was easily to manipulate, more like an extension of herself. Sound was her first ally, a combination of Wind and void which is non-elemental, her affinity for the later was truly logical.

It is like riding a bike, if that bike was made of pure elemental energy and if she had ever ridden a bike.

She was very good at manipulating the elements, particularly wind. This was not the extent of her skill, rather this was the rediscovery of all she once had.

[spoilername="Economizer"]A needle and a thread, that was really all that was needed to make it fit. An extra pocket here, a convenient partition there, a deeper pocket well in place of the previous. There, now it would be possible to carry everything she needed to find Sousuke. Man, this was an epic moment of growth. Next week: eating your vegetables! She fastened her belt pouch, slung a bag over her shoulder and momentarily frowned over the fact that she could not wedge a second weapon into her holsters. Can't win them all. She was leaving her home likely for the last time, hopefully she would have everything she would need.

Re: Takahashi Shiori's FAQ (capped)

Mastered all of Earth's justsus with this week's training.
Mastered all of Wind's justsus with this week's training.
Seeking a major affinity to BOTH

Seeking Advanced Element access to SAND and DUST.

Sand:
She came from the Earth as had her kin, they unlike man were never in tune with the elements but rather forged from them. An anthropomorphism of the elements, each Ancient had great mastery over their domain. In her youth, if a millennium could be called young she was not a kind woman. She was dispassionate about the war humanity raged against her brothers until it was too late, their numbers were overwhelming and she could never have anticipated Primus' strength. She forgone her powers, giving her mastery over the desert storm known as the maelstrom to the progeny of humanity's greatest warrior as a gift. Yes, it allowed humanity to flourish but that was not her ultimate goal. She had to rip her essence in twain to do so, it took centuries for her to recover from her losses but it also forced a divine right to rule onto a single bloodline. Placidity, the weakness of her kin would be one day the downfall of these miscreantsone day. She was playing for the end-game, for her what is a few generations in the time of man to an entity that lived in a time before man ever came to Wind Country. Her blood had become sand once again, the gritty residue that poured from her veins in place of blood. It still had that crimson color and the foul stench but it made piles rather than puddles. The desert started to sway in response to her call. She was regaining what she lost, but what would she do when she had her strength back? Would her body be able to sustain her complete state? She had grown accustomed to flesh and limb, it would be a shame to see either go. The warmth of a touch, the taste of food. Aspects of life she never felt, an existence and a life are very different things.

DUST
The diamond maelstrom was a natural phenomena, despite the writings found in lore she nor her kind had nothing to do with the terrible winds. She and her kind, in fact, used to keep the winds at bay. A legacy and a duty that was her no longer, it was the responsibility for the Sunahoshi line. A once dedicated family, now errant after generations of dedicated service. That was why homesteaders who refused to flee for the outskirts of the desert were forced underground when the maelstrom came a few decades ago. The maelstrom was not an upheaval of the desert, rather it was the cutting winds that pulled up the sand and the dust creating a sandstorm that cut and seared travelers. They could have created a great wall, a physical barrier to break the storm but no... they scurried underground like mice and she was forced to follow. Her powers diminished still, she had no ability to halt these terrible winds but again there was a change. Her body, in this new form was growing, repairing. The old crone had some power in her, she wondered if anyone truly understood the power that human harnessed and the waste it was for her to give-up her existence as she had. Did she understand truly what she was doing and what she had done in giving of her free will this vessel.

She now had more than her wind and her song, she had the desert again at her beckon call. The question now was, would she remain a friend or become Sunagakure's most dangerous foe? Humanity in Sunagakure was at its weakest point in the wake of the Cabal's attacks. All she had to do was... and they would be shattered beyond repair? Had she grown sentimental after all these years? Had the legacy of lies scholars wrote about her somehow become true? Only time would tell.
