Damupawa

**Damupawa** (ダムパワ *Damupawa*) is the main power system used throughout the series and is used by many strong delinquents. It is used by users who can manipulate energy and reflect it to their opponents.

## Overview

The world set in *Grando* has energy all around the air, similar to how atoms work. A user of damupawa is can be referred to a magnet. Essentially, the user must charge enough energy in their possession for their damupawa abilities to work. The stronger the ability, the more energy they will have to require. Once the energy is manipulated to their liking, the energy reflects and sets back to the world. Experienced users can create their own energy throughout their bodies. Most people can only use one technique because of how much stress even one technique will require. There are very few people who can use two or more techniques. One can create a main technique that they master fully then create a side technique that is only used rarely.

A damupawa ability cannot be overpowered without consequence. The more useless the technique is, the less consequence the technique will require. For example, consequences can include, lifespan cut, bruises inquired whenever using the technique, chance to lose something valuable in the user's life, etc. In order to avoid brutal consequences, a user can set up a contract. Instead of brutal consequence, their life span will decrease by four years every time they use it.

Known users can transfer their damupawa abilities to anyone who knows the basics of damupawa.

## Background

Damupawa is the most popular power system used throughout the series. Damupawa is practiced mostly at the young age and mastered through the youth of users.

The use of damupawa was created hundreds of years ago by a man named **Juro**. The first known use of damupawa created by Juro was called Yin and Yang. Juro could create two different versions of himself, The Yin is a darker and twisted version of Juro, and the Yang is a good-hearted and powerful version of Juro. There would be three versions of Juro, one being regular, one being evil, and the last being nice. Eventually Juro's life would become destroyed because of Yin. However, Juro had documented his life, including using damupawa. Founded by his son, he would soon later expand the use of damupawa to others.

Soon within time, people would change and alter the original damupawa techhnique to better fit themselves. However, most damupawa techniques were created to benefit everyday things, such as jobs and chores. It was only later that people would use damupawa for combat. It is possible for similar damupawa techniques.

## Damupawa In The Public

In the public eye, damupawa is typically unknown. Those who are associated in the delinquent world are typically aware of damupawa however.

### Damupawa and the Countries

Leaders of countries are usually aware of damupawa, however, they do not know how to create their own techniques. Most leaders hire damupawa users in order to do certain tasks for them. The Eve Family is typically hired to take out tasks for several leaders, including assassination.

### Damupawa and the Delinquent World

Typically, mid-ranks and bosses of the delinquent world can use damupawa themselves, or at the very least the basics (meaning they can surround energy around a certain body part of theirs). Low-ranks or regulars in the delinquent world are aware of damupawa, but cannot use it themselves.

### Damupawa and Villages

A select few of villages, based off dynasties, are able to inherit damupawa techniques by either being from the bloodline, or by getting taught in childhood. Villages and villagers use their own techniques in order to benefit themselves, benefit their village, and defend their village.

## Types

There are several types of damupawa techniques that an individual may create, and there are yet to be more to discover.

### Damupawa Energy Technique

A **Damupawa Energy Technique** (エネルギー手法, *Enerugī Shuhō*) is the ability to use their energy around them in order to reflect an energy aura around the specific spot. Typically, energy techniques can have different glows to them. An energy technique is typically the most common technique-types created. A damupawa energy technique can enhance, emit, and transmute a person's energy aura.

### Damupawa Creation Technique

A **Damupawa Creation Technique** (作成手法, *Sakusei shuhō*) is the ability to use their energy around them in order to conjure things from their mind. A creation technique is considered to be limitless. Creation technique users can even create non-supporting limbs they can control, without feeling too much pain when their conjured part is decapitated. Creation Technique users can also create objects that aren't apart of themselves, for example, clones.

### Damupawa Invoke Technique

A **Damupawa Invoke Technique** (呼び出す手法, *Yobidasu shuhō*) is the ability to use their energy around them in order to summon a highly intelligent creation from a user's mind. An Invoke can be called in order to defend a user, fight with a user, or help a user for personal reasons. Though an Invoke Technique are often mixed up with Creation Techniques, they have several differences. Invokes are able to have their own abilities given to them, and typically have an impressive aura following them, according to the user of the invoke.

## Learning Damupawa

Learning damupawa may often be considered to be "overwhelming" for a regular human-being, and takes a considerable amount of determination and will. In order to learn damupawa is usually a long process. Those who wish to learn damupawa are typically taught by those who are sufficient in it.

### Beginning

In the beginning of the process in order to learn damupawa, a person it is best advised that they meditate for several hours. After meditating for hundreds of hours, a person will be able to fixate their mind to see the energy molecules around them. They are now ready for the training of their physical prowess. Around the meditation, a person also must go through visualization training.

### Training

A person does not need to physically train their body, however, it will help immensely while using their own techniques. Now that they can visualize their energy, they can attract the energy around them and pin-point it on a certain area of their body. For example, the fist. When the energy is focused on the fist, the fist will become enhanced and will punch through much harder.

Depending on what type of damupawa technique a person desires, they can learn to focus their energy in a certain spot, consume their energy, then project the energy as their own, or eject their energy into a certain spot area near them.

#### **Energy Technique Training**

A student must focus their energy in a certain part of their body part and be able to sustain the energy for three consecutive hours. Once advancing, it is optional for a student to continue to lengthen their consecutive hours.

#### **Creation Technique Training**

A student must focus their energy on absorb all the energy they possibly can, and put their full effort into ejecting all of it, creating their desired creation. Depending on how they want to absorb the energy (sucking in the air, then holding in the energy in their mouth, or moving their arms, as if they were going in for a hug), they must practice those movements for five-thousand times a day.

#### **Invoke Technique Training**

This exercise is much more different compared to the other ones. In order to create an invoke, they must be able to attract the energy around them, though making sure that they are able to still see it. Then, they must find an area near them to stack all of the energy molecules. They must be able to do this and attract the energy back to them until they can create the full invoke they desire. A invoke must have a mind of its own, while listen to it's creator.

## Exceptions

Sometimes, damupawa techniques have exceptions for receiving.

### Inherited Method

When a person truly desires to give someone their damupawa technique, they can give their technique to a person, giving them the technique that they used before.

### Contract Method

When a person desires more energy molecules than they can bare, they can make a self-contract with damupawa techniques. These contracts are temporary, and can only be used once. The time they use the contract, they will receive all the energy they ever can.
