Saiken (Bijuu)

**Saiken** (犀犬, *Saiken*), more commonly known as the **Six-Tails** (六尾, *Rokubi*), is one of the nine tailed beasts. The demon's body is that of an enormous, six-tailed slug covered in a clear slime, which can be manipulated to become acidic, basic, sticky, or slick. It is said that the beast consumes the life force of creatures slain by its corrosive slime. Its six tails are each slightly shorter than the main body. It has two small arms; large, heavy legs; and a toothless mouth. This demon is very kind compared to other demons and does not like to see needless sacrifice; as such, it is considered one of the more agreeable demons, as it does not often try to break free and will even help the host, though neither of these apply if the host is cruel or needlessly violent. Should the demon exert its influence over the host’s personality, the host will typically become very calm and helpful. Saiken is not very familiar with any kind of technique, but can transform suiton techniques into slime techniques. As the host progresses through mastery of the demon, this boost becomes much more noticeable.

***Current Jinchuuriki:*** None

## Guild History

As with all chakra demons, Saiken's origins were as a portion of the ten tailed beast (juubi). The juubi was a powerful creature created by Jashin in the earliest period of Evergreen's (SR's) universe for the sole purpose of destroying as much of the dimension as possible. The juubi would travel from galaxy to galaxy consuming as many star systems as possible before Evergreen expended some of her divine power to weaken it by splitting it into nine equal pieces with unique names and identities. The gods Utu and Zelel would weaken the nine demons even further until they were banished and contained to Earth.

Upon initial discovery it was found that the Rokubi was sealed within a small girl unbeknownst to all during an attack from Kogarashi

Additionally unbeknownst to those defending against the attack a terrorist organization after having sealed the demon within this girl used her as a scapegoat for the imminent release of an enraged Rokubi to wreak havoc on the village of Arashigakure when a bomb that was implanted within her body detonated killing her and forcibly releasing the now enraged six tails.

After the forces of Kogarashi fled the scene the Rokubi's rampage was eventually quelled not with violence from the participating defending parties of Belamos Karna and company but with a reasonable discussion with the then Jounin of Arashigakure Tosokurui Ashikoki Hojo

Refusing to seal the beast himself upon request did he ask for the assistance of Kagerou Kiritani the resident fuuin specialist aside himself at the time.

The inevitable sealing of Saiken within Tosokurui Ashikoki Hojo was done in a promise to see the criminal that organized the death of the girl brought to justice and the sealing in of itself was seen as something that both parties detested but did so out of necessity for the safety of innocent lives.

Tosokurui then inevitably fulfilled this promise with the help of Shion Moro and the relationship between the two over the past half-decade has become one of the strongest and still rooted in finding a way for the demons to be free and co-exist naturally with human society.

While this thought has recently been tucked in a corner due to their now almost symbiotic ideologies involving themselves and good people revealed during a heart to heart in trying to mediate the relationship between the Nibi and her then host Shion Moro, recent thoughts currently finding themselves shared between the two of them may make the future shakey between the host and his internal companion as the now Arashikage once Jounin a half-decade ago is contemplating more 'robust' means of maintaining a truly 'safe' and criminal free sanctuary that is Arashigakure through more potentially 'heavy-handed' means.

## Traits

* Saiken's resource pools are both 5,000.
* Saiken regenerates chakra equal to the user's body rank per post in combat.
* The jinchuuriki is able to draw chakra from Saiken as an action during combat equal to two ranks above their body rank.
* Once per post the host can produce a slime projectile that does not count against the user's actions inflicting Tier-1 of the slimes current status if it connects. The default rank of this projectile is D.

* Saiken's Slime Release has multiple stages. Primary, Gaseous, Solid, Corrosive, and Slippery.
	+ Primary: Inflicts [-2] Speed per Tier as it is sticky and viscous
	+ Slippery: Inflicts [-2] Agility per Tier as it is slippery, affects even those using the water-walking technique attempting to stand atop it. Enhances the host or an allies speed of ground movement by [2] per Tier. {Applies to movement techniques, techniques which do not inflict direct damage but close gaps etc if capped decreases the cost of evasive techniques and said movement techniques by 10 per [2] increases this slime would provide above cap}
	+ Gaseous: Inflicts the appropriate Tier of status associated with it as a gasses usual rate. {Locked until Cloak Mastery 1}
	+ Solid: Inflicts an appropriate Tier of petrification that requires an action to solidify. {Locked until Cloak Mastery 2}
	+ Corrosive: Inflicts an appropriate Tier of [Corrosion]. {Locked until Full Mastery}
* Upon mastery of Demon Cloak Stage 1, Saiken fully unlocks the water nature transformation in the user as an additional element if the host does not already possess it.
* Allies willingly given Saiken's chakra are immune to it's slime effects.

## Demon Attributes

**Oozing Aegis |** The host when attacked or attacking with a taijustu or bukijustu attack that would otherwise result in direct contact will leave that target being given a Tier-1 status correlating with Saiken's current type of slime essentially due to the host emitting the slime in a responsive self-preservation manner not unlike Shukaku's absolute defense. Every post the host has not been physically attacked directly or not received damage or landed a physical strike the slimes Tier increases by 1. Changing the type of slime requires an activation and resets Oozing Aegis. If the host is attacked and struck by a technique that was not a direct physical attack this resets Oozing Aegis.

**Slime Skin Coating |** When attacked or exposed by a technique that would induce a status affect the host's slime intervenes. While coated in a specific slime that is attributed to a particular status effect the host is immune to said status effect. This does not cure an already ongoing status effect. When struck with an attack that would apply a status effect that does not share a property with the slime, the host can shed their slime skin once every [2] posts to cancel the status effect. This resets Oozing Aegis.

**Gelatinous Guard |** Saiken's body has always been malleable and was even able to endure a head-on strike that sent them flying by the Kyuubi experiencing little to no distress. This manifests in the host's body as being incredibly durable and flexible and allows all of their endurance and agility stat boosts to be doubled. Additionally, if their agility and endurance cannot be enhanced any further then they may use the following agility and endurance effects [6] times per battle rather than [4]: If the technique would increase endurance then you withstand 1 extra tier to physical trauma on contact. If agility would be increased then you are agile enough to perform one extra evasive action in the post you are obtaining the boost in.

## Transformation Stages

### Demon Cloak Stage 1

A dark blue cloak which covers the host who begins emitting and oozing slime particularly vicious on the fingers and face. The user's eyes will often start appearing beadier and smaller revealing two plump tails behind them.

* The user's body gains fluid-like malleability making them immune to damage from grapples but this does not prevent them from being grappled and enhances their own grapples utilizing their bodies newfound elasticity making them overwhelming.
* The user's endurance and agility are elevated to 10 for the duration of their transformation while strength and speed remain unchanged.
* Unconverted Suiton techniques are empowered by Saiken so that they are no longer a rank weaker to Doton.
* Suiton techniques are considered Overwhelming but only when converted into slime.
* Slime can reproduce the effects of Tier 2 Poison.

### Demon Cloak Stage 2

The user is coated in a heavy, thick slime. The body appears more jelly-like occasionally quivering as four tails emerge from the host. Due to Saiken's overall nature the cloak is blue.

* The user's agility, endurance, speed, and strength are elevated to 10 while the transformation is active.
* Suiton techniques are considered Overwhelming if transformed no longer requiring that they be converted to slime.
* Defensive Suiton techniques are considered overwhelming during the transformation and cost [1] rank less to cast and apply X-tier of the slimes status.
* Once per post can change the emitted slime without incurring an Oozing Aegis reset and spending an activation.
* Slime can reproduce the effects of Tier 3 Posion

### Demon Mastery

The thickness of the slime becomes so potent and prolific it sloughs off the body in droves. The host begins to assume various shapes that could only be considered squishy and blobby in appearance until they've assumed a more sound shape through control. Six tails appear on the host as their eyes typically sink into their skull becoming barely visible. Their mouth appears to be attached with slimy seams whenever it is opened. Movements initially appear slow but are highly elastic and versatile often causing profound confusion as to how something that periodically looks dumpy can move so fast.

* The user's strength, agility, and speed are elevated to 10 while the user's endurance is elevated to 12 for the duration of the transformation.
* Slime techniques are considered overwhelming during the transformation and are boosted [1] rank higher during this transformation.
* The host will slowly regenerate wounds done to its body up to a limb being removed over the course of [2] posts. Major organs that are destroyed are not regenerated, however. Healing comparative to Major Healing Hands.
* Slime attacks will passively corrode the environment at the host's behest, slowly eating away at everything that isn't protected by higher-ranked chakra.
* The [Corrosion] status now applies to all [Stats].
* Slime can reproduce the effects of Tier 4 Poison

## Odei Sludge/Slime Release

The host of Saiken gains access to a special type of nature release known as Slime Release. Slime release is an augmented version of Suiton that is viscous and thick in its nature often giving it weight. The host is able to manage the viscosity of this slime to varying degrees and for the most part is known to be highly corrosive at times bearing similarities to boil release and Saiken's sister Kokuō. While Kokuō is more physical in her usage of this boon Saiken opts to use it more so as a deterrent than a true to form weapon, focusing on versatility and winning wars of attrition. With its effects varying based on mastery Saiken's slime has been known to poison, petrify, trip up, induce sleep and slow the opposition. Saiken's slime has even been known to be emitted in a gaseous state carrying all the corrosive potential rivaling that of her sister. The host converts suiton into slime release by having Saiken pay for half the cost of the Suiton technique. Slime remains active and applies its status for [3] posts before becoming inert.

**▰ Slime Release: Soap Bubble Technique [ Odei: Shabondama no Jutsu] | Rank X | Spiritual**

The core technique of Saiken's slime release with its parentage in the original shabondama technique. Produces floating stationary bubbles which will induce the associated status of the current slime in effect. Each bubble itself is only E-rank in strength. However, higher ranks produce more bubbles doubling per rank. A wave of bubbles can be emitted from the user's mouth in a stream for an X-rank amount but these do not float as hazardous terrain. Applies the Tier 1 version of the current slime or the appropriate X-tier if released as a stream.

**▰ Slime Release: Soap Bubble Oppression [ Odei: Shabondama Yokuatsu ] | Rank A | Spiritual**

This technique has the host look to the sky and suddenly emit a torrent of bubbles from their mouth and person. These bubbles are made of slime and can be altered to apply a slime status. The bubbles self-replicate making them a constant presence on the field and in a thread. The bubbles can then be used as a footing and transportation for the host but hazards for the opponent. Once per post the user can utilize the bubbles as a form of cover protecting them from techniques B-ranked or lower without consuming an activation. When altered with Slime Rotation they are treated as A-rank for their respective tier. These bubbles persist relentlessly for [3] posts before all popping.

**▰ Slime Release: Soap Bubble Substitute [ Odei: Shabondama Kawarimi ] | Rank X | Spiritual**

Not as simple as the technique sounds. It allows the host to recreate a person place or thing as a slime bubble. The creation of the replicate isn't exactly discreet so it must be used cleverly. When physically attacked the bubble pops and applies the correlating status of the slime equal to its ranked tier to the individual that physically popped the bubble. Functioning as a trap it cannot be evaded nor defended against aside with a kawarimi or unless overtly not attacking or touching it in general.

**▰ Slime Release: Soap Bubble Corrosion Bomb [ Odei: Shabondama Fushokudan ] | Rank S | Spiritual**

The host creates a massive bubble almost home-sized bubble that isn't just made of corrosive slime but filled with corrosive slime if the bubble is destroyed via any means it spreads its Corrosive slime throughout the entire thread. It can be manipulated to pursue a target. If making contact with a target the bubble will first envelop the target(s) immersing them in corrosive slime [Tier-4 Corrosion] and then rather than explode if preferred Implode with a sign by the host. Typically if anything survives this they are in absolutely horrible condition and on the brink of death. Due to its nature only an attack of its rank or higher will suffice to destroy it. Multiple lesser attacks that would amount to its rank that would usually be effective are instead disintegrated on contact typically making an escape and evasion the only viable option. The technique itself, however, moves incredibly slowly when manipulated and can easily be outrun by those with at least [4] Speed. The bubble and slime become inert after [3] posts.

**▰ Slime Release: Spit Ball Technique [ Odei: Kamitsubute no Jutsu ] | Rank X | Spiritual**

The user spits a large sticky ball of liquid at a target roughly the size of a beach ball. The stickiness makes it difficult to move or perform hand seals, and can render projectiles nearly useless. Hitting someone’s hands reduces their available actions by one unless they do not use their hands that post. Can be used without current slime being set to sticky. Applies the sticky stat debuff of X-Tier & the current slimes status simultaneously.

**▰ Slime Rotation [ Odei Kaiten ] | Rank [Tier] | Spiritual**

A technique that actively allows for the direct altering of a slime's effects after it has been launched. This ends the current status the slime is producing and refreshes the [3] post duration of the slimes status. The same status can be refreshed this way as well. However, it also incurs the associated cost of the slime's Tier that its being shifted to or refreshed. D For Tier-1, B for Tier-2, S for Tier 3, and S+ for Tier-4.

**▰ Slime Release: Staining Technique [Odei: Yogoshijutsu ] | Rank C | Spiritual**

A technique that removes a slimes detrimental status effect in exchange for the capability of tracking an individual. Converts an active slime into a chakra signature that can be followed by the host and sensors that cannot be removed. The host gains sensory awareness of where the stained target is at all times and cannot be caught by surprise or lose their guard against them for [5] posts. The 'stain' cannot be removed with any methods. The host can create a mental image and additionally see exactly where the individual is what they are doing and what they are saying.

**▰ Slime Release: World Staining Technique [Odei: Warudo Yogoshijutsu ] | Rank S | Spiritual**

A technique that removes a slimes detrimental status effect in exchange for the capability of greater awareness. The host emits a large cloud of slime that envelops a thread and gains sensory awareness of their surroundings for [5] posts. This allows for greater discernment of illusions and knowing the locations of individuals within the cloud. Unlike the original staining technique, the slime cloud can be blown away where its effects will linger for [1] post after it's dispersed before becoming inert.

**▰ Deep Slumbering [ Fukai Nemuri ] | Rank X | Spiritual**

The Host emits a wave of chakra affecting ten meters per rank of the technique and a thread at S+. Anything that Saiken's slime at that point that has been covered will begin becoming lethargic. Halfing their [Speed] stat until eventually falling asleep by the third post. This effect may be Kai'd by paying an amount of chakra equal to the rank of the slimes statuses tier that was used as the conduit. D For Tier-1, B for Tier-2, S for Tier 3, and S+ for Tier-4.

**▰ Sudden Carressing [ Aibu Totsuzen ] | Rank X | Spiritual**

The Host emits a wave of chakra affecting ten meters per rank of the technique and a thread at S+. Anything that Saiken's slime at that point that has been covered find it immediately hardening and enclosing. The target is then bound. The target is then treated as having the [Grappled] status which can be broken out of, respecting the requirements of breaking out of a grapple. For each post spent in this condition, the negative status the slime induces if applicable is doubled.

**▰ Slime Release: Leech Gap [ Odei: Hiruma ] | Rank A | Spiritual**

The user will constantly begin to emit a corrosive slime for their body that anything they come into contact with experiences Tier-3 [Corrosion] this technique can be used in tandem with inflicting another slime status simultaneously. Taijutsu is augmented to always apply Tier-3 [Corrosion] minimally on top of the appropriately tiered slime's status {that tier determined by the paired techniques rank}. The user cannot be bound by material things that do not have chakra imbued in them, techniques with chakra imbued in them need to be sustained if A-rank or lower. Throwing weapons and other items that do not have chakra imbued within them if used with a technique that is A-rank or lower are immediately corroded on contact with the body. Sustained. If grappled or entrapped Leech Gap will apply its rank in damage respectfully per activation post spent in said state until they are either released or the restrainment is destroyed.

**▰ Slime Release: Hard Sludge [ Odei: Katai Hedoro ] | Rank A | Spiritual**

Alters an active slime to harden. The hardened slime no longer incurs its status effect. If the slime was on a target immediately applies Tier-3 Petrification of the parts that were coated in slime. If not on a target the hardened slime can only be destroyed by a technique equal to its rank or higher. It is not treated as a barrier and is immune to [Corrosion].

**▰ Slime Release: Volatile Wave [ Odei: Kihatsu-sei Nami ] | Rank S| Spiritual**

The host produces a massive wave of slime centered around their person which is then spread out multi-directionally easily affecting a thread. This applies a Tier-3 of the slimes status to anything caught in the crossfire and can prove incredibly destructive when paired with corrosive or incredibly hindering if sticky. Ultimately cannot be dodged and must be defended against.

**▰ Acid Scattering [ Sansan ] | Rank S+ | Spiritual**

Releases a large alkaline corrosive cloud from the user's mouth inflicting Tier-4 [Corrosion] spreading through an entire thread on the following post and continuously persisting thereafter applying continuous instances of Tier-4 [Corrosion]. Can be blown away with a technique of S+ rank or higher but the [Corrosion] still persists for [3] posts. The corrosion is so strong it even corrodes the ground and surrounding flora. Is highly destructive and often hardly used and discouraged from use by Saiken herself unless in the direst of circumstances.
