Technique Applications

Technique Name: Kuuhaku Ryuu (Space Dragon) [N1]

> Wiki This ability is a combination idea of Energy Shield and

Description: Kuuhaku Ryuujin bends the very fabric of the space around Kiba, Erecting a 360 degree sphere of Ki around Kiba and slowing down anything that passes through it to an almost stand-still, allowing her to make last second reflexes to dodge or block an attack. She cannot, however, move out of this sphere or it's effects end immediately and she sent 'back' to the position she was in before she moved.

k, Kiba, your technique(as essentially a kind of special dodge) will have all the normal mechanics of a barrier or afterimage type technique. Does this sound acceptable to you?
(I kinda think rather than a 'ki barrier that bends space-time' it might make sense as just pushing herself into a state of super intense focus which greatly enhances her alertness, her perception of time slowed but the actual elements in question occurring in regular speed to an outside viewer)

Pieter, your one is pretty straightforward so I see no possible issues, also accepted.


Both of you make your threads where you learn it, and add it onto your registration topic.

Tao's been earning some experience with charging punches for a better effect in the previous threads, so I figured it would be a good opportunity to throw in his first technique. This was inspired in the suggestion Pieter gave me about making a ki-less form of the Dodonpa and this is what the basic technique is about. I took the opportunity to throw in the whole "Dodon Strike Family" for evaluation. I'll be learning them gradually, but I wanted to throw all the intended upgrades and variants for approval at once.

[N1] DODON STRIKE: Using the principles of the Dodonpa, Tao concentrates his strength in his fist and delivers a powerful strike at 33% his power level.

• [UP2] DODON-KEN: Literally "Dodon Fist"; An upgraded version of the dodon strike performed basically like the basic version. However rather than a simple matter of focusing his strength, Tao actually supercharges his fist with his own ki causing it to glow orange-yellow like the dodonpa beam and allowing him to punch a crater in the earth (and the enemy's defenses as well). It has a power equal to 66% of Tao's power level.
• [V2] DODON-DAN: Literally "Dodon Bullet". By charging his ki in a fingertip, Tao thrusts it at the target with bullet-speed, piercing the target's flesh and causing great pain. Although it doesn't have a big destructive power, it can actually pierce through strong opponents. Damage equals 33% of Tao's power level.
  
  • [UV3] DODON-KEI: Literally "Dodon Whip". Very close to the Dodon-Ken both in name and execution, this technique is performed by charging the leg rather than the fist with ki for a larger area of contact and range. Like the Dodon-Ken, the power of this technique is at 66% of Tao's power level, but the real danger behind this variation is the potential to slice something or someone in half due to the high speed the kick is delivered.
    
  • [MP3] DODON-YARI: Literally "Dodon Spear". The Dodon Strike at it's maximum potential. Tao's fist and forearm glow Dodonpa style and he charges his arm at the opponent, impaling the target. This is an all-or-nothing technique; it will either cause a critical and probably fatal wound (will affect anyone at 200% Tao's power level) or it won't work at all (loses the ability to deal damage).
    

Just a small explanation on the techniques:
Dodon-Dan: Is meant as a sort of a melee-version weakened Death Beam.
Dodon-Kei: Is meant as a sort of a melee-version weakened Kienzan.
Dodon-Yari: Since it's a [MP3] technique, it's supposed to be at 100% my power. I'm trying something different here and gave the technique a defect: I took it's ability to cause damage, meaning it will fail, leaving the opponent harmless if it cannot affect the target. In exchange for the damage potential I gave it the effect of incapacitating anyone that is within twice the range of power a [MP3] technique is supposed to be. And that's how I came up with the 200% thing. Hope it works.

Technique Name: Ki Sense [Su]

> Wiki dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ki_Sense

Description: Allows for basic Ki sensing, or the ability to sense nearby Ki signature.



Technique Name: Advanced Ki Sense [SU2]

> Wiki None

Description: Honing his Ki sensing abilities, this skill allows Emer to sense targets that are further away, and get a nearly direct reading on their Ki signatures or power.



Technique Name: Ki Manipulation [Su]

> Wiki None

Description: Allows for basic Ki manipulation, such as creating objects out of Ki, Energy swords, barriers, etc.



Technique Name: Advanced Ki Manipulation [su2]

> Wiki None

Description: This Allows Emer, more control over multiple forms of Ki, and able to manipulate it to his will.



Technique Name: Ki Gathering

> Wiki None

Description: This allows for Emer to charge things at a faster rate, shortening the time it would take to use certain skills, or techniques.

Sounds cool , I'd say for the mechanics, based on previous precedents, 33% of your pl is how strong the snare is(like offensive techniques you can also charge for multiple turns?) , so if someone attacks these vines with an attack that is above 33% of your pl they can break free, otherwise they are trapped in place.
As always, go make your learning thread(if you haven't already) and add it to your character app


Nice and straightforward, works for me. Learn in threads and add to app.


You currently have 3 available technique points, so you won't be able to have all 5 of these yet
Dodon Strike checks out though, Dodon-ken and Dodon-dan also seems fine.
Dodon-kei I assume makes like a an extended 'energy whip' that reaches further than just your leg? Either way, seems to check out if I'm reading it right.

Dodon-Yari is the one that is potentially tricky.
If you're just in it for the RP flavour then you could handle it through a self-imposed restriction - that you HAVE to charge it to 200%(so 1 turn charge, second post launch), and if you don't do at least this single charge it will 'fail'? But I suspect you're wanting a special advantage rather than an extra requirement.
In terms of your actual proposed mechanics -The main issue I can see is that it doesn't actually have a down side. You get to do 200% damage instead of 100%, and your proposed trade-off is that if this 200% isn't enough then it won't hurt your enemy. Problem is that's already what would happen anyway with an attack that's too weak, so you're going to need a different demerit.

Anyway, feel free to collect 3 of these 5 moves using your currently available techniques(do a thread where you learn them and add them to your registration thread), and if you like you could put up a discussion thread about the Dodon-yari, begin working through some possible suggestions and if it should be allowed and such; current rulings would mean it's a special [SP] technique not an [MP3] and would require you to buy a school and teach it as your special, or get specific permissions to have such a move.
Out of curiosity(and forgive me if you've mentioned it to me and I've just forgotten) are you aiming for taking on the Crane Hermit role with Tao? _{Neo Tri-beam is a pretty cool technique.}


The Ki sense ones check out
For the ki manipulation, each different function will require a separate technique I'm afraid, we no longer allow 'all in one' sort of techniques(admittedly, they're not particularly fair if you can use one technique slot to do many different actual techniques). So ki manipulation to create a 'ki-weapon' might be one technique, but a barrier/shield would require a separate 'ki manipulation - barrier' technique slot as it's a different mechanic/functionality.

Ki Gathering might be a generic 'charge' you can start doing without needing to chose which attack it will be, you can then decide when ready what attack you will channel this charge into. eg you start gathering ki for two posts, then decide you've going to do kamehameha on the third. (unlike other people, who need to chose kamehameha first, and can't 'change their mind' so to speak like your technique allows for)

Also dang Emer, you scary Still no match for the illustrious Bao Zi'bub of course, no sir, but you are... quite the buff gentleman it seems. Anyway, make your threads where you learn these if you have not already, and add them to your characters registration thread. You'll have to decide which specific incarnation of ki manipulation(be it barrier, weapon, etc. weapon would count as an offensive technique) you are taking.

Afraid you're going to have to rethink your bold part Bya - a technique's strength is based on your current pl not your maximum possible pl (though as an MP3 it will charge at 100% of current pl per post). It would not be very fair that you get pl you don't currently have, so it will have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

It isn't it's POWER that is, It's merely the area in which it effects. The power would still go down if he's weaker.

Technique Name: Focused Spiral Drill Wave (Shūsoku Supairarudoriru-ha) {UP2}

> Wiki A modified Kamehameha.

Description: Over the months of using her Spiral Drill Wave she has begun to master how to enhance its speed of charging and its destructive power. She can only do one or the other however. If Empowered in charge she is able to fire off the ki attack at full strength faster. If Empowering the overall strength of it it takes a little longer to train but it empowers it by 1.5x. {Basically if she Quick Charges the Ability it takes 2 posts to full charge the attack and if she empowers it it takes 4 posts but it increases the power of the attack to 1.5 times the original charge of the attack if normally charge on it.}
