Miyamoto (Bloodline)

## Tales of Past Souls

The group of families known as the Miyamoto clan, name meaning "base of the shrine", are descendants of the great monks who worshiped at the temples standing atop the tallest mountains of the eastern continents. The early Miyamoto believed that the higher they could reach, the closer to God they would become. Although they had no intention of receiving any gifts or otherworldly gratification through their prayers; a minor genetic mutation, which allowed them to control a pseudo-element they know as reikon ( soul ), had unexplainably developed. Due to their peaceful and understanding nature, rather than using the element to impose on others, the Miyamoto used it to reverse injury- mending bones and knitting flesh. It wasn't too long after they began their healing ways that they realized reikon ( manipulated as konton - soul release ) could be used to invigorate and temper flesh, as well as repair it. However, in time, the simple connection between healer and wounded, supporter and supported, was found to be deeper than something as simple as one person assisting another. With faith and dedication, it was something that could become a powerful bond; one that the Miyamoto could hold firmly, and shoulder pain with. A link amongst the very soul.

## Bloodline Attributes

**▱▰▱ Medical Professional |** Miyamoto can cast iryojutsu through their links without hand seals. Iryojutsu cast this way costs a rank less in resource. In addition, their healing jutsu acts as if applied twice, removing twice as many status effects if applicable.

**▱▰▱ Superior Support |** Miyamoto may forgo one or both of their offensive activations to grant an ally that they have linked with those activations. These activations may both go to one individual or to separate ones. The person who receives this additional activation gains a 1 point increase to their stat cap for three posts for every activation they received from the user. This ability may not be stacked and may push a stat cap to a maximum of 10.

**▱▰▱ No Resistance |** The user is capable of forcibly creating a link without consent of the target without contact. When this is done the user must pay an upkeep cost of the target's body rank per post. During the time this bond is active, techniques home in on the target without losing their power for up to five posts, defending against a homing technique requires an additional activation. Alternatively, the user can connect with willing persons without contact for a D rank cost on the initial post.

## Miyamoto Techniques

**▰ Spiritual Connection [ Mukei Enko ] | Rank E**

The user makes physical contact with an established ally or willing individual, expending chakra to create a bond with that target. This bond is only broken by the target or user severing the bond with an E rank amount of chakra, although it be broken if the user runs out of chakra, becomes unconscious, or the connected party leaves the range. The user can have a maximum of two bonds at D rank body and an additional bond for every body rank after. Unless stated by a technique specifically, this bond can only be actively used within the topic.

**▰ Spiritual Connection: Spider Web [ Mukei Enko: Kumonosu ] | Rank D**

This technique can be used after spiritual connections are already made. This allows the user to link with their original peers as well as any ninja pets, clones, or summons the user or their constituents have brought to the battlefield (multiple shadow clones count as one, for this purpose). This technique only allows the web to last for two posts, but techniques that amplify strength based on the number of connections are powerful when this is in play.

**▰ Spiritual Sight [ Mukei Joukei ] | Rank E**

A passive ability that requires no chakra cost to use. While bonded to another player, each person connected is able to see the world from each bonded person's perspective. If one connected member has a dojutsu active, all connected persons have the ability to see from all perspectives with that dojutsu's prowess. Additionally, each person is able to see an illusory crimson thread that ties them to other members of the connection, allowing them to always track them.

**▰ Sharing Pain [ Bunpai Itami ] | Rank C**

This technique allows the Miyamoto to disperse pain they receive along the link at the same instance an attack is wrought out on them. This is a supplemental activation but allows each person linked to experience one rank below the original attack worth of pain. This can break genjutsu the linked people are under if the genjutsu can be broke through pain. This can also be used on enemies to discourage them from attacking directly. Any status effects or poisons are only brought on the Miyamoto, though due to the nature of this technique, it functions at one tier lesser at a minimum of one.

**▰ Wound Passing [ Kizu Tsuukou ] | Rank C**

The user forms a hand sign, lessening the effects of all statuses currently active upon them by one rank. Doing so costs only this activation but the resource cost must be paid per status removed. The user then targets any individual or several person with the status tier they removed from themselves and apply them to those they have bonded with.

**▰ Soul Release: Brute Strength [ Konton: Wanryoku ] | Rank C**

The user forms a hand sign, targeting one of those it has bonded with. That target's taijutsu, bukijutsu and basic combat strikes now treat armors as one tier lower, double knock-back effects, and treats their techniques as overwhelming during collisions.

**▰ Soul Release: Earth's Endurance [ Konton: Chikyuu no Gaman ] | Rank C-S+**

The user forms a hand sign, empowering all persons they are connected with, treating their flesh as medium armor during collisions for three posts and causing them to regenerate stamina at the user's body rank per post when used at C rank. Each additional rank regenerates stamina an additional post at the same value. Each person effected by this technique draws chakra from the user equal to two ranks below it's activation cost.

**▰ Soul Release: Water's Edge [ Konton: Mizube ] | Rank C-S+**

The user forms a hand sign, empowering all persons they are connected with, granting them a 1 point increase to agility at C rank and 2 point increase when used at higher ranks. Additionally, the target(s) gain an additional use of their shushin techniques per rank of this technique, starting at one use at C Rank. Each person effected by this technique draws chakra from the user equal to two ranks below it's activation cost.

**▰ Soul Release: Layer of Muscle [ Konton: Sou no Suji ] | Rank B**

The user expands their chakra into the bonds created, enhancing the strength and endurance of each person connected to the user with a D Rank upkeep cost per post, enduring even if the bond is severed for three posts. For each person beyond the first linked target effected by this for it's initial use, the user must pay a D rank amount of chakra.

**▰ Soul Release: Elemental Amplification [ Konton: Butai Engi ] | Rank B**

The user forms a hand sign, empowering the primary elemental affinities of all those it connects. Each person effected has all statuses their elements cause increased by one tier after the technique's strength is increased by one rank, additionally removing elemental weaknesses while this technique is maintained. This technique has a D rank upkeep cost.

**▰ Soul Release: Energy Path [ Konton: Konki Keiro ] | Rank A | Supplementary**

The clan member is capable of transferring chakra or stamina equal to their body rank to a single linked target in combat. This can be done a maximum of twice per combat round. The user cannot donate resources if the donation places them below 50 of that reserve.

**▰ Energy Absorption [ Konki Sanmai ] | Rank Null | Training**

This technique does not cost chakra. It requires the Miyamoto to be sitting or kneeling and relatively un-moving. This is a meditative state that severs all connections and instead sprouts hundreds of thin connections to nature around the Miyamoto. This is a primitive version of senjutsu, allowing the Miyamoto to take energy from the essence of nature. This restores their body rank in chakra every post and the Miyamoto cannot cast any other techniques that require physical movement in any fashion.

**▰ Soul Release: Guardian Element [ Konton: Kouken Element ] | Rank S**

While the Miyamoto is in their meditative state, they may choose one ally that they have a deep connection with to share their elemental knowledge with. The chosen ally receives knowledge of all elemental ninjutsu the Miyamoto knows. Furthermore, the ally has their stat cap boosted by 2 points to a maximum of 10. The selflessness of this technique covers the Miyamoto in a protective opaque barrier that requires three techniques equal to it's rank or higher to break.

**▰ Soul Release: You and I [ Konton: Anatatowatashi ] | Rank S+**

This technique cannot be used in combat. The Miyamoto meditates. They then can allow their soul to leave their body. This soul can possess another living thing or an object, often used to possess puppets or small animals for assisting allies from far away or to spy. The Miyamoto can possess dead bodies and overtake them as their new body, leaving their old body perfectly preserved to become a human puppet if someone were to do so. The Miyamoto, in their new body, can choose to keep techniques that body possessed including any bloodline techniques they possessed, causing them to lose all access to previously owned bloodlines and gain the PA listed below. The chakra and stamina pools of the new body replace the user's old body and while you do have access to the new body's techniques, the techniques the user already knows cannot exceed that body's technique limitation amounts. This can only be used on an RPC a total of twice by one character. It is not possible to possess another Miyamoto clan member.

> **Perfect Incarnation |** A personal ability granted after using the Soul Release's You and I technique. This PA allows the user to have access to all bloodlines, abilities, techniques, career progress, resources and stat caps of the original body. This PA does not apply when transferring to NPC.

**▰ Soul Release: Soul Severing [ Konton: Tamashī setsudan ] | Rank S+**

The user, in a single powerful open palmed physical strike, separates the target's soul from their body cleanly. This technique cannot be blocked with one's body less they become subject to its effects. However, it can be blocked by weapons. The severed soul cannot return to their body. They are effectively immune to all damage but they also cannot interact with anything either. They may be heard and be seen by those that can see spirits but none other. They cannot perform jutsu or anything of the like in this spiritual state. They can only reflect upon their loss. The severed soul returns to its body after [3] posts, suffering tier four insanity and mental stress. Their body in question is in a permeable stasis also immune to damage or tampering, acting almost illusory in nature when interacted with. However, the Miyamoto may use Konton: Anatatowatashi to possess it. In doing so they gain all the abilities of said body and said bodies pools, knowledge, etc. Attempts at suicide and if the body is ever put into a near death situation it forcefully ejects the Miyamoto and returns the original to their body.
