Puppetry

[kama]

I know puppetry is still a working on thing, so there are a few things to be fixed, either way, if you could answer me any of this (all would be awesome) would be great.

---

1.- Do the puppets "float"? I ask this because it's been stated in the anime/manga/games that they just like, move that way, without walking, though of course only applies for small puppets like D and C ranked puppets.

2.- Can puppets "fly"? Unlike the "float" thing, I ask "fly" as a decide that allows them to fly, or if they can fly without a device as long as its dynamic allows it to fly (i.e a bird puppet)

3.- Let's say I'm falling down in a endless hole and have one of my puppets with chakra threads. If the puppet manages to stick to the wall, what will happen to me? Would I stop falling down due to the chakra threads (acting as normal strings)? Or would I keep falling down and sooner or later the chakra threads wiill break?

4.- How fast is a puppet? Mainly asking a D and C rank type of puppet, not asking for mps but more of a base speed, like are the faster than nin primary? slower? are they in the middle speed of nin and tai? Something like that.

5.- According to one puppet ability to change their parts as long as we have the desired ones in inventory, does that means that we can buy "parts & attachments" or "launchers & gears" separately from a puppet? Like, buying a single kunai launcher at the shop?

6.- Are we allowed to submit new puppet "pieces" in customs? (parts, attachments, launchers, gears)

7.- (This question is not concerned to pupets but kugutsu no jutsu) If a person is caught by kugutsu no jutsu, would they still be able to move around, like forming handseals and so, or are they just completely under the puppeter's control?

I believe those are all for now! Please and Thank you!

For #2: I would assume that the answer is no, the reason being that there is more to flying than simply having wings. In order for an object to be able to fly it needs to be aerodynamic and made out of materials that are light enough for the amount of "thrust" it creates to fight gravity and keep itself airborne. A bird is able to fly because its bones are hollow thus keeping it light enough to "float" on the air. An airplane can fly because even though it's heavy as hell the massive potency of its engines can fight gravity enough for it to stay in the air. A puppet that is simply shaped like a bird would not be able to fly because its wooden/metal frame would render it too heavy. Why can birds made out of clay fly? "Because chakra", I suppose. In order to fly you'd probably need some kind of thruster/jet pack.

#4: I remember hearing at some point in time that they move at Tai Primary speed. Don't know if that's still the case.

#5: Yes.

#6: Yes.

good, tbh I agree with you in those answers, just needed someone to double check it.

though would be nice to have a mod verdict on the puppet's speed

#1: They tend to move that way because they're (A) Not very large, all things considered and (B) are being used via chakra strings to stay mobile enough to be launched directly towards opponents with ease (i.e. the games).

#3: After you exceeded the maximum length with which you could manipulate the puppet with the strings, you'd just pull it down with you and keep falling. You're manipulating the puppet with the chakra strings; it has no ability to return the favor and interact with the chakra strings themselves in order to manipulate you.

#7: You'd have to be able to come into direct physical contact with them first, but once you did, essentially, you'd be 'puppeteering' their entire body (akin to Chiyo with Sakura). They'd be able to form handseals if you allowed them to, but that's about it. Their physical movements would be completely under your control, but if they have anything big and bursty that can sever those strings (gates/bijuu/etc.), that control would be broken.

Good!! Thank you!

Just need a final verdict for their speed and we all are done here!!

[Naitome]

Oh. The puppet moves at the base speed of its user.

k, lock please!!
