Kakuja

## **WHAT IS A KAKUJA?**

A Kakuja is a kind of ghoul with a transformed kagune that clads the ghoul's body. Though it is rare, it can occur through repeated cannibalism. When a ward has a higher ghoul to human ratio, cannibalism is more common due to turf wars and limited food supply.

It is said that through cannibalism, a ghoul absorbs Rc cells, and this increases the concentration of Rc cells within a ghoul's body. If the concentration becomes high enough, it may trigger a mutation and lead to the formation of a new kagune. Sometimes, the transformation is incomplete, and such individuals are called half-kakujas.

### **HOW TO BECOME A KAKUJA**

If you decide to embark down this heretical path of cannibalizing your own kind, nothing comes easily, nor without a price. Firstly, any and all ghouls are solidly capped off at 15,000 RC count until they successfully mutate a kakuja, as a typical ghouls body physically cannot handle any higher amount of RC until their physiology mutates to be able to handle more. As for actually achieving kakuja, everyone, and I mean everyone, starts off at 0%, and every time a ghoul is consumed, player or NPC, adds 1% regardless of the victim's RC count, up to a maximum, this maximum is determined by your RC count. You can unlock kakuja at any point, but it is still locked behind an RC requirement per level, the levels are listed below.

Ghouls rated 'S' (5,000 RC) cannot get above a 20% total.

Ghouls rated 'SS' (10,000 RC) cannot get above a 30% total.

Ghouls rated 'SS+' (15,000 RC) cannot get above a 35% total.

The dice is rolled every time you consume a ghoul, by a staff moderator that will roll in accordance to your numbers and rating. It is the player's duty to have records and logs of every cannibalization roleplay.
