Ninsō (Battle Monk) [Revamp]

[Jae]

The Ninsō, or Battle Monks, are a group of ex-shinobi, mercenaries and non-ninja serving within a large monk temple, usually located within the countryside of a Nation. Unlike hidden villages however, these temples do not operate as militaristic hubs and instead focus on special situations outside of the ninja world, such as dealings with the Daimyo and even other undiscovered portions of the world.

As with normal monks, there are several levels a ninja monk can have focus strictly on spreading peace, and protecting that which they have been entrusted to protect. Ranging from the Daimyou himself to other national duties, the work of a Monk is never over!

Battle Monks, as their name implies, are agents of peace which surround around one belief and let the faith in that belief guide them through their lives. They carry uncanny strength and skill, and come from many walks of life. However, one things is for certain - they will die to protect the life of the Daimyo and the Temple of their land.

Though Daimyo are political entities, history has shared a good relationship between the country's leader and the neutral Temples that reside within and harness the country's natural elemental power. That's right - while Temples are devoted to the power of chakra and its elemental use, no two Temples will ever be the same. However, their joining requirements tend to be the same.

• In order to become recognized as an official Monk, the user must become an apprentice of a preexisting one, PC or NPC (there will be a select few key NPC's at all temples!), and be proficient at their release (see below for the requirements each rank holds!). If the apprenticeship is successful, the title is bestowed at the very end. Monk ranking depends on the amount of Elemental Masteries the user has accumulated for any single basic release.

Apprentice Monk - 1 EM's
Battle Monk - 2 EM's
Elder Monk - 3 EM's

The user may "prestige" (drop back to nothing and climb the ladder once more) their Rank by acquiring the masteries of another elemental release. Those who prestige successfully are subject to higher honors such as double pay and other RP benefits.

Because of the Great War, many of the coveted ancient temples have been temporarily lost. However, some still remain, standing strong and representing their country's power:

• Hi no Garan - The "Great Temple of Fire" is a holy worship of the path in flames, devoting Katon as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Fire Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Hi no Kuni.
  
  
  
• Mizu no Garan - The "Great Temple of Water" is a holy worship of the path under water, devoting Suiton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Water Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Mizu no Kuni.
  
  
  
• Kaze no Garan - The "Great Temple of Wind" is a holy worship of the path of the winds, devoting Fuuton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Wind Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Kaze no Kuni.
  
  
  
• Raijin no Garan - The "Great Temple of Thunder" is a holy worship of the path of the lightning bolt, devoting Raiton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Lightning Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Kaminari no Kuni.
  
  
  
• Tsuchi no Garan - The "Great Temple of Earth" is a holy worship of the path underground, devoting Doton as their primary release, as well as the soul focus of their training. This temple resides in the Earth Country, and is under the direct service of the Daimyo of Tsuchi no Kuni.

Handseals: No
Chakra: High [cast] Mid [upkeep]
Special: Until further training is achieved, this mode only lasts a single turn after it is activated. Must be standing still while activating, though once unlocked, user is free to move. Highest rank determines benefits achieved from unlocking this chakra, including enhanced range on all ninjutsu creations.

• D: Full Turn Charge // Ninjutsu range 120%

• B: Half a Turn // 160% nin-range

Description: The Gift of the Hermit Group is a special kind of chakra used only by highly trained battle monks serving under their country's Daimyou within the Holy Temples. Due to its intensity, it requires daily, unrelenting training to master. However, the pay off is worth the sacrifice - for upon unlocking it, a new level of chakra-power is achieved.
Domain: Ninso (Battle Monks)

• Sonzoku (Duration)

[/u]
Rank: A
Type: Passive / Ninjutsu / Special Job Technique / Kinjutsu
Range: --
Handseals: --
Chakra: --
Special: Each time retrained, this increases the length 'Senzoku no Sai' can last by an extra turn.
Description: This is the ultimate technique that is taught to Ninso, and requires the special Gift of the Hermit Group chakra in order to activate. The technique is activated when the user takes a specific stance with their left hand making a half-ram and then extending their right hand down with their palm parallel to the ground. Once the stance is taken, the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon is summoned to defend the user, as well as attack their enemies. The spirit is normally calm, angelic and looks peaceful. However, whenever the user gets angry, the spirit turns red and transforms into a demonic-looking creature. Kannon then attacks the user's target with its 1000 spirit fists. The size and power of the spirit is dependent upon the skill of the user.

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Special Job Technique
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: High
Special: Lasts as long as one can hold 'Senzoku no Sai'. Highest rank known establishes reach of fist, as well as the speed at which they react. Because the Kannon is made of pure chakra, fists converge on any target that stands to harm the user as long as the user is aware of it; however, this does not mean the user is invulnerable, as an attack to their blind side can still hurt them (although whoever attacks the user while in this mode will still suffer chakra burns . When summoning Kannon, the user must be still during its attack phase as they are meditating; if any movement occurs, the attack/defense of the Kannon is cancelled. When first learned, up to 1 three-foot wide fists will come forth near-instantly to attack and/or defend the user. Keep in mind that each fist does "C Rank" damage.

• D: 2 meter range // 2 meters per second
  
• C: 4 m // 4 mps
  
• B: 6 m // 6 mps
  
• A: 8 m // 8 mps
  
• S: 10 m // 10 mps
