Akusen - Revamp'd

[KID GAMBINO.]

Akusen, the art of the bodybuilder; a fighting style said to be the rival of 'Medical Strength', and the methods required to achieve such brawn undoubtedly attained differently. Through rigorous physical training, the practitioners of Akusen are known for impeccable bodybuilding maneuvers, their frame being layered with muscles said to be akin to the hardness of titanium. The basis of the fighting style is to completely overwhelm their opponents with techniques that can easily debilitate the foe with little effort, showcasing their manifestation of raw strength as something to be truly feared. The style has thus been promoted in several legendary events, whether it be shinobi wars, professional sports, or even world-wide martial arts tournaments. Unfortunately, the further that one wishes to increase their muscular mass, the slower their movements and reaction time will be, due to substituting speed with power. However, this is quite the worthy price to pay for the incredible feats of the Akusen.

[KID GAMBINO.]

Senkotsu no Kouseinou (Art of the Augmented Physique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Stamina: ---
Special: Improves the user's physical brawn, granting all Taijutsu performed enhanced strength, and even increases their weight-lifting capabilities. For each rank attained in this technique, the user can increase the strength of a Taijutsu technique of equal rank by one tier, but due to the layers of muscle stacked on the user's body, their agility suffers progressively after each point of advancement. Power effectiveness, weight-lifting strength, and speed reduction is determined by the highest rank known of this technique:

D - Max Body Weight / 10% Speed Reduction
C - 2x Max Body Weight / 20% Speed Reduction
B - 3x Max Body Weight / 30% Speed Reduction
A - 4x Max Body Weight / 40% Speed Reduction
S - 5x Max Body Weight / 50% Speed Reduction

Description: Through rigorous exercise and training methods, one is capable of advancing their physical capabilities to mighty heights, bringing fear to those who witness the brawn behind their newfound strength. This method is not simple as it seems, requiring the user to actually transform their body over time, muscle stacking several times over the further they advance into the art of reckless power. Those who obtain the higher levels of this art always appear to be extremely muscular and hulking in appearance, showcasing their hidden strength. However, due to the increase in physical mass, the user sustains significant disadvantages with the augmented strength, their speed and ability to react hindering the more they continue to build muscle. With this attribute in mind, it is wise of the practitioners of this style to understand patience, as well as the responsibilities that come with such power.
Domain: Akusen.

[/u][/b]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Defensive / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Stamina: Low - Massive
Special: Can successfully endure a blunt attack used against the user without slowing their momentum or sustaining any physical damage, but requires the user to sacrifice Stamina of equal rank to each technique used against them. Piercing/slashing techniques, those that exploit elemental weaknesses, or techniques of higher rank are unaffected by this technique. Cannot be used against Genjutsu.
Description: Those of the Akusen style have come to understand that their muscular mass has both offensive and defensive qualities, manipulating both to the best of their abilities. The initiation of this technique is quite simple, the user builds energy and stamina, preparing themselves for the incoming assault. Then, once the technique comes into contact with the user of this technique, their iron-clad muscle sustains the damage like a suit of armor, preventing the user from being affected in any way. The user must be careful when utilizing this ability, due to the equivalent drain of stamina, which can render them useless in battle, even if they survive the assault.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou of equal rank.

[/u][/b]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Stamina: Low - Massive
Special: Amplifies the user's next Taijutsu technique after using 'Muteki', the bonus damage and Stamina consumed equivalent to the combined amount of damage sustained. The user must successfully survive the opponent's techniques with 'Muteki' in order to increase their own strength. Does not affect multiple Taijutsu techniques after this technique's use. User must wait a single turn before utilizing 'Muteki' again, while 'Okaeshi' has a cooldown of three turns.
Description: The next step to increasing one's brawn within the art of augmented muscle, the user is able to transfer damage nullified by 'Muteki' into adrenaline, increasing the power of their next technique based on the strength of the techniques used against them. This technique requires patience, and if the user cannot successfully defend themselves against the opponent's techniques, the build of adrenaline disappears. The idea of this technique is based primarily on the scientific explanation of the transfer of energy: momentum inflicted upon the user does not simply become nonexistent, but is transformed into adrenaline, which is inflicted back upon the opponent through the user's own Taijutsu. However, this amplified strength does not come passively, and still requires the user to consume additional Stamina.
Domain: Akusen. Muteki of equal rank.[/ul]

Kagirinai (Sempiternal)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very High
Special: Allows the user to completely ignore the effects of pain and nerve damage, forcefully plowing through what would normally paralyze the target and/or cause great mental stress. Can be activated through sheer will, but once the time limit is reached, the user will be forced to endure twice the amount of pain/numbness originally dealt, in addition to the damage inflicted during this mode, unless the paralysis is removed or the injury is healed. Can only be used for one turn, plus another turn for each new rank attained in this technique, for a maximum of five turns. Can only be used once per thread.
Description: The pioneers of the Akusen fighting style eventually developed a technique that was similar to 'Muteki', but targeted the side-effects of incoming damage rather than negating the physical damage itself. Through pure mental training, the user is capable of increasing their pain tolerance to the point where they can enter a state of complete oblivious behavior, ignoring the mental stress inflicted by pain as if the user was never hurt. This ability also allows the user to remove the effects of paralysis and nerve damage through sheer will, dumbfounding their opponents as they continue to slaughter them relentlessly. However, despite the near-godly appearance that the user embodies, once deactivated, the user is cursed with twice the pain and nerve damage originally intended due to pushing their body beyond it's physical limitation for those brief seconds. Lastly, this technique cannot be utilized if the user's body is damaged to the point where movement is impossible, such as decapitation, complete bodily dismemberment, and so forth.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou of equal rank.


Doukatsu (Intimidation)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Stamina: ---
Special: Inflicts heightened fear and effective bodily influence against the opponent, utilizing their physical muscularity to intimidate the target's mind and cause them to believe that defeat is possibly unavoidable, and halves the speed of the target's movements as a result. Can only be used once per thread and is useless against Akusen practitioners with 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou' of equal or higher rank. Lastly, the intimidation can only last up to three turns, plus an additional turn for each rank in this technique the user possesses higher than the opponent's Stamina pool. Effectiveness against certain pools is determined by the highest rank known of this technique:

D - 'Very Low' Stamina Pools
C - 'Low' Stamina Pools
B - 'Mid' Stamina Pools
A - 'High' Stamina Pools
S - 'Very High' Stamina Pools

Description: Due to the advancement in the user's brawn and physicality, their body literally becomes riddled with impeccable muscles that is truly frightening in sight toward those of lesser capabilities. Through the use of intimidation, most Akusen performers have not only utilized their muscles to completely obliterate whatever remains in their paths, but has also used it to mentally psych their opponents into submission before the match even begins! This psychological trickery cannot just be administered easily, and requires the user to understand what can exactly instill fear in their opponents without much effort. With that strategy in mind, this technique was born, and the user must showcase their brawn in some form in order perform the technique correctly, such as flexing, pounding their chest, destroying objects, roaring, and etc. However, this threatening aura can only psych the target(s) out once as a limitation, so one must be swift and prepared when considering the activation of this technique.

Description: The most basic and simple maneuver of Akusen, which relies on completely improvised maneuvers. The user is able to muster enough strength through the use of their muscles in order to inflict brutal damage with simple punches, kicks, elbow thrusts, kneedrops, and so forth. This technique can even be utilized with a weapon or item, allowing the user to thrash the object about with damaging strength. The direction from which each strike approaches is unimportant, making this extremely useful in basic hand-to-hand combat.

Description: Dendou Kire, a powerful strike known for it's debilitating capabilities. The user positions their hand in a narrow formation, gathering strength before aiming the chop for a specific area on the opponent's body. If the hit succeeds, the opponent's affected limb will feel extremely numb, and will be rendered useless for a specific amount of time. However, if the opponent is struck on the head, the technique will not cause paralysis, and the target will instead be inflicted with a slight headache.

Through increased strength and accuracy, the user switches their target from simply attacking the opponent's limb to aiming for their head, hoping to knock them unconscious instead. If the target is successfully struck, the force of the thunderous chop sends their entire body into a paralytic shock, and their brain and body is temporarily disabled as a result for a specific amount of time. This technique is extremely dangerous, and can easily bring an end to a match.
Domain: Akusen. Dendou Kire.[/ul]

Description: Shindou Hirate, a deadly palm thrust known for determining the fate of battles. The user gathers strength in their hand, preparing the assault once close enough to the opponent. Once within a hand-reach distance, the user thrusts their palm into the chest of the opponent, the sudden strike causing abnormal functioning in their lungs, which forces the opponent to lack proper breathing and hinders their speed severely. The following knockback is just the after-effect of the user's incredible strength, and can cause other damaging effects to the target's body as well.

Description: Rousuru Kanou, a technique rivaling the effects of many Sound-based capabilities, which targets the opponent's auditory system through physical contact instead. The user gathers strength in both their hands while obtaining close-range on the opponent. Then, the user performs a 'clapping' motion toward the target's head, each hand striking the sides of the target's head. The powerful clap sends the momentum of the strike through the target's membrane, causing temporary damage, such as the sudden lack of hearing and disorientation in their sight and movement.

Girochin Doroppu (Guillotine Drop)

Description: Girochin Doroppu, a descending footdrop that can force the opponent into unconsciousness if struck. The user must build momentum through two maneuvers, the first being gathering strength in their feet and legs. Then, the user ascends into the air through a powerful leap, reaching up to five meters into the air before performing a simple, quick front-flip technique, which increases the momentum of the next movement. Upon completing the spin, the user rapidly descends to the target with their assaulting foot still raised above their head. Upon reaching the target, the user thrusts the risen foot into the body of the target, the momentum built from the raise and fall granting significant damage against the vulnerable opponent.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou.


Bakuyaku Gachan (Explosive Slam)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu

Special: Can be retrained three times, stacking 'C' ranked damage each time. However, after every second time learned, the stamina consumption increases by one tier. Causes the ground within a meter of the user and target to become ruptured and unsettled due to the strike's concussive strength, the force inflicting sufficient knockback for those within the range, up to two meters for each rank attained in 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou'.
Description: Bakuyaku Gachan, a forceful slam that requires incredible brawn to complete. The user gathers stamina in several areas of the body, such as their arms and legs, the target being within arm's reach. Then, by simply obtaining a secure grasp on the opponent, the user lifts the target into the air, rotating their body with the intent of flipping the opponent directly into a threatening slam. The spin drives the momentum of the technique, and with a single, swift motion, the user slams the target into the ground below. In addition to the divine strength of the technique, the environment is disturbed as well, intense energy flowing through the body of the target into the ground below, turning the earth into cracked rubble, causing movement to be difficult. However, this effect only occurs if the target is successfully thrusted into the ground, meaning the user must be nimble when performing this technique.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou.


Kongou Kensei (Adamantine Constraint)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Stamina: Mid
Special: The target is incapable of escaping the fierce grip for a single turn, plus another turn each time retrained, for a maximum of five turns. However, after every second retraining, the stamina consumption increases by one tier.

C - 'Mid' Stamina surge to escape.
B - 'High' Stamina surge to escape.
A - 'Very High' Stamina surge to escape.
S - 'Massive' Stamina surge to escape.

Description: Kougou Kensei, a technique that undoubtedly displays the incredible brawn of the Akusen. The user simply gathers strength in an area of their body, then detains the target through some form of retaining method, whether it be a headlock, a nelson, an ankle-lock, a chokehold, or even a bearhug. The purpose of the technique is to be able to completely immobilize the target by utilizing the user's awe-inspiring brawn to overpower them. This does not mean the target is incapable of maneuvering themselves, this is only a mean for grasping the opponent, and being incapable of removing that constraint, unless the user is overwhelmed.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou.

[/u][/b]
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu

Causes complete bodily paralysis and forces the target unconscious, for a single turn, plus another turn each time retrained, for a maximum of three turns. However, after each retraining, the stamina consumption increases by one tier. The amount of time needed for the duration of the applied pressure is determined by the user's highest rank attained in 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou".

D - One Full Turn. (5 Seconds)
C - 3/4th's of a Turn. (4 Seconds)
B - Half of a Turn. (3 Seconds)
A - 1/4th of a Turn. (2 Seconds)
S - Near-Instant! (1 Second)

Description: Kougou Sanketsu, the next step to overwhelming the opponent when locked within 'Kougou Kensei'. Once the target is constricted by this technique's predecessor, the user furthers the opponent's inability to achieve movement by applying more force, tightening their deadly grip around the opponent, forcing them into an unconscious state once the duration has passed. However, in order for this technique to succeed, the user must apply force to the target's chest, neck, or head, which causes the submission. The versatile capabilities of this techniques predecessor may be advantageous for it's own reason, but when converting to the use of this technique, the user has no choice but to limit the area of strangulation.

The user builds stamina in their legs and feet, their knees bending into a crouched position as the user determines the direction in which they plan to ascend. Then, the user forces their hulking strength into the ground below, acting as a launch pad as their body rockets through the air. Due to the power behind the leap, the ascension is quite vast and requires a few seconds at best, praising the technique as vital for most Akusen practitioners. Upon returning the ground, the user sustains no drawbacks at all, their muscular build cushioning the landing.

B - Half of a Turn. (3 Seconds)
A - 1/4th of a Turn. (2 Seconds)
S - Near-Instant! (1 Second)

Description: Dokyanonboru, a technique strikingly similar to one of the Earth Release, but to a much lesser degree in effectiveness. Through the use of their unstoppable strength, the user stabs their fingers into the earth below, then forcefully rips the earthen boulder from it's core, prepared to be used at their disposal. Due to utilizing immense amounts of physical strain to perform such a task, the user is able to push beyond their normal weight-lifting limits for this sole technique alone. Once the spherical stone is extracted, the user can then throw the boulder into their opponent, but the distance will not be too grand without the aid of a technique that enables such rigorous throwing.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou.

C - 20 meters / 4 meters per second.
B - 30 meters / 6 meters per second.
A - 40 meters / 8 meters per second.

The range of this technique can be quite grand depending on the level of the user's brawn, and can cause devastating damage upon landing if the opponent cannot recover from the flight.

Hibigokui (Fissure Point)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: See special!

D - Plastic
C - Wood
B - Stone
A - Metal
S - Crystal

Description: Hibigokui, a technique that was created during a physical bout between two Akusen practicioners who wished to test their might against one another without actual combat. The technique's perfomance is quite simple; any item in the user's hands is capable of being bent into a desirable shape with extreme ease, or even broken into pieces with the sheer muscularity of the user. Although subtle and laughable when first learned, the farther one advances into their own physicality, the greater and more destructive this technique becomes. With the creation of this technique, one must be careful where they hold their weaponry around the user, or else it may be returned to them in pieces.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou.


Nagareboshi Korijon (Meteor Collision)
Rank: B

Special: Can be retrained three times, stacking 'B' ranked damage each time. However, after every second time learned, the stamina consumption increases by one tier. Causes the ground within three meters of the user to become ruptured and unsettled due to the strike's concussive strength, the force inflicting sufficient knockback for those within the range, up to five meters for each rank attained in 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou'.
Description: Nagareboshi Korijon, a technique that does not only require the advancement of the user's physical strength and mass, but the force of gravity itself. The user builds momentum, stamina gathering in their legs and feet before being launched up to five meters in the air. Using gravity as the harbringer of the opponent's destruction, the user simply rotates their body toward the destined target, performing the desired movement with the weight of their body plummeting into the opponent with devastating force. Whether the user decides to perform a crossbody splash, a foot dive, or even a descending punch, the technique is quite simple and easy to dodge, but if the user is strong enough, and the target is not aware, the body crash can easily devastate the opponent.

Description: Noroshi Appakatto, a powerful rising punch often used by professional boxers, which can be deadly in the hands of an Akusen practitioner. The user gathers stamina in their leading arm, legs, and feet, several areas not common to most techniques within this fighting style. Then, the user lowers their body to the ground by bending their knees, the crouch position signifying the massive supply of strength, which is then followed by an extremely swift uppercut, the punch aimed for the target's jaw. Once the ascending strike connects, the transfer of momentum launches the opponent like a rocket into the air, the height being tremendous if the force allows it. Due to the incredible power behind the uppercut, this punch is quite feared as one of the Akusen's most threatening techniques, and can inflict additional damage upon impact from the descent.

Description: Nenshou Rariatto, a deadly arm thrust known to end the lives of many who challenge the Akusen. From close-range or from a running distance, the user gathers strength in their biceps, prepared to plummet into the target. Then, with a single, swift motion, the user performs a clothesline-like maneuver, their arm plowing through the target's chest/neck with incredible brawn, potentially breaking bone due to it's power. In addition to the physical damage, the user furthers the chance of injury, their arm launching the target into the distance with tremendous force. The straightforwardness of the attack can be extremely deadly in combat.

Stamina: Very High
Special: Must be performed with a partner that has learned 'Nenshou Rariatto'. The strength of this technique is equal to the combined force of both user's 'Nenshou Rariatto', but cannot be performed if the strength of both techniques are not the same.
Description: Daburu Rariatto, an extremely situational technique that is also extremely deadly if performed correctly. Since the technique requires double the amount of users, the lethality is multiplied as well, and if performed correctly, the target can be left completely decapitated. From both sides of the target, each user charges toward the target with their signature 'Nenshou Rariatto' readied. However, instead of simply charging the target and sending them flying, each arm of the two users lock the target's head into submission, creating a scissor effect, and with the extreme applied force of the users' brawn, the neck of the target snaps almost instantaneously and is sent flying several meters into the air. This technique is not only used to catch the target off-guard with an unforeseen 'Nenshou Rariatto', but can easily decapitate them if the users succeed.

The technique, if done correctly, is capable of breaking several bones throughout the target's body, placing them within severe condition that only the finest Medical Ninjutsu could cure. In addition to the divine strength of the technique, the environment is disturbed as well, intense energy flowing through the body of the target into the ground below, turning the earth into cracked rubble, causing movement to be difficult.

Then, once the target is within arm's reach, the user slams the head of the target between their user's legs, prepared to lift the target into a powerbomb. However, this does not occur just yet, the utilized stamina in their legs thrusting them several meters in the air, allowing even more momentum to build. Through the use of gravity and their own physical strength, upon reaching the climax, the user initiates the lifting maneuver, the target placed upon a sitting position on their shoulders as the user descends. Once the ground is mere feet from being met, the user completes the threatening technique, the weight of gravity and the user's own defines muscles colliding the target's head with the earth itself. The technique, if done correctly, is not only capable of shattering every bone in the target's body, but can easily kill them. In addition to the divine strength of the technique, the environment is disturbed as well, intense energy flowing through the body of the target into the ground below, turning the earth into cracked rubble, causing movement to be difficult.

Description: Kamikobushi, the initial technique of the three sacred 'Kinmotsu no Akusen', has granted many practitioners of the awe-inspiring fighting style victories, their physical brawn enhanced with great velocity. By opening the first of the Celestial Gates, the Initial Gate, the warrior is now capable of bypassing the slow movement cursed by their physical mass, chakra supplying their body with impeccable momentum during the technique. While the opponent is within arm's reach, the user slams their foot onto the target's own foot, preventing recoil from their next attack. Acceleration advanced to superhuman heights, the user lashes forth with several fleeting fist strikes, potentially crashing into the opponent's body, but the knockback nonexistent due to their body being pinned to the location. Up to three strikes would land per second, the length of the assault dependent on the user, a simple release of their foot's grip allowing the final strike to launch the target into the distance. The technique is extremely brutal and can end many lives, but adheres a great strain on the user's body afterward.

Description: Kamisawagi, the intermediate technique of the three sacred 'Kinmotsu no Akusen', has been donned as the Akusen's only projectile-based technique, granting it quite a special title, despite the vast drain of energy. By opening the third of the Celestial Gates, the Gate of Life, the shinobi's aura literally becomes a weapon itself, the user now capable of creating blasts that resemble waves of chakra, but are quite deceiving. By charging the mixture of chakra and stamina attained into a specific limb momentarily, the user suddenly thrusts the limb into a specific direction, the concussive force behind it being of such divine stature that the air struck condenses upon itself into a vortex following the path directed, pressurized air shooting toward the opponent in the form of a wave that can knock any affected dozens of meters away. Each wave is a only a meter-by-meter in diameter, and is quite fast and extremely difficult to dodge from close range, but causes unbearable strain on the user's body afterward.

Kinmotsu no Akusen - Kamizenkai (Forbidden Technique - Kratos' Destruction)
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Stamina: Massive
Special: Can only be performed while the fifth Chakra Gate is open and active. Causes the ground within ten meters of the user to become completely ruptured and unsettled due to the strike's concussive strength, plus another ten meters for each retrained rank in 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou'.
Description: Kamizenkai, the final technique of the three sacred 'Kinmotsu no Akusen', is easily known as the most feared technique of the Akusen, and quite frankly, of most Taijutsu period. By opening the fifth of the Celestial Gates, the Gate of Limit, chakra surging around their frame transforms from a terrifying display of power into a murderous technique. By charging the mixture of chakra and stamina attained into a specific limb momentarily, the user suddenly thrusts the limb into the ground below, through a punch/stomp, and literally destroys the environment with massive, chaotic surges of energy. Pressurized air flows into the ground below, shattering the foundation as voluminous chunks of it's original form ascend into the air, anything placed upon them launched with great force as well. The astounding explosion is so powerful that those forced upwards ascend at halve the maximum distance that the technique spans, the mixture of potentially crashing into another airborne object and falling to their death being the harbringer of their own demise. The technique can plow through even the most durable defenses, but forces a debilitating strain on the user's body afterward.

Since there are a lot of revamps going on lately and a pretty easy-to-follow system being implemented when it comes to techniques and such, as the original creator of the Akusen fighting style, I decided to review the style as a whole again and reconsider lightening the load for staff and hopefully covering the most of what should be changed in the style. Through lowering the incredible power one could achieve with the style, I felt t was the most necessary step to removing the unrealistic restrictions it had before, because I didn't want those who sought out this style to have cookie-cutter brutes that didn't know anything by physical combat. Instead, I wanted the style to be treated as any other normal Fighting Style would instead of being akin to that of Bloodlimit/Clan limitations. Aside from that, the most important change is toward the base technique, Art of the Augmented Physique, which no longer allows the user to S-Rank attack without any drain. The technique now acts as a simple "brawn mastery" toward any other Taijutsu, meaning the user must perform a technique and spend actual stamina in order for it's strength to be increased.

A vast majority of the actual fighting techniques were revamped, removed, or compacted into one technique. With many other techniques recently submitted by Fina to guide me, I hope this revamp is up-to-par with the standards. This thread is open to anyone and everyone who have questions or believe something is wrong before it's acceptance. Thanks!
