Zombieland [P][RE]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,420,true] Coming darkness... The sky is dark. Then again, that's nothing new here. Rain pervades and sustains, churning the earth to mud and hampering even the cheeriest of souls. Even for a day in the country who is named after this natural phenomenon, it is particularly dreary. There is an unfriendly chill in the wind, and there are few faces among those that dot the streets of the village. But again, with the sky so thickly clouded and dark, why would there be people wandering around? A groan rumbles through the splattering drops. It is hollow, and lifeless, and loud. It reverberates through the silence eerily and over the pattering of rain on tin there are heavy, lumbering footsteps squishing in the mud. Something lurks in the rain. Something which ought not to have been disturbed; and yet it has been by some force unknown and unspoken of. It lurks, and it lingers; A heavy rasp cutting through the air as every sullen step drags it closer to something... Something to feed its undying hunger... made by renni

Rain pattered gently on Kiyoshi's scarlet cloak as he wandered the streets with a vacant gaze while remembering these now abandoned streets. So much time was gone and that dark thought crept in on him more and more as the days passed by. It brought seemingly small depressions that kiyoshi bore alone as he continued to find his way in the world. Tonight he was in the heart of his past life in rather ghastly rain that he learned to love as a boy. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

An eerie groan trembles across the air further down the street and fifty from kiyoshi. All thoughts of memories and lost time are banished from his mind replaced instead by the training and instinct wrought from ninja training drills and missions for decades. The ninja isn't what he used to be but his senses are keen and his mind is sharp. Alert to the possible danger he withdraws a kunai whirling it confidently about his forefinger.

He glared into the darkness and the rain that was kept from his eye only by the glasses on the brow of his nose. He began to slowly walk forward towards the sound with short careful steps and a beckoning whistle to provoke some sort of response. Even if it wasn't an animal, a whistle of recognition to another existance often provokes a reaction. The reaction is usually but not necesarily fight or flight.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,420,true] Hunger. The sharp whistle catches it's ear. Silence. Dead silence rings out, and the rain stops completely. There is no wind, no sound altogether, as you stand in the streets waiting cautiously for any sign of movement, when... "GRUUUUUUOAAAAAHHH!" The noise is feral and full of anguish; a vengeful scream that breaks the tenuous silence in half, as the beast, man, or whatever it was that made the noise comes on in force now, its footsteps pounding through the murky brown dirt that the rain now begins to churn up again. You know it comes for you. The fifty meters close rapidly as your eyes slowly begin to make out the shape pounding through the muck in the distance. It looks human enough; bipedal, at least, as it's running, but you cannot tell much more, as it's body is covered by a thick brown cloak, obscuring it from your vision; However, as it closes the distance to twenty-five meters, you begin to notice something rather strange. The being seems to be moving it's hands together. Handseals, it looks like, but what kind of ninja could act in such a manner? It draws to twenty meters, then fifteen, before a large volume of water rises from the ground around him, beckoned forth from the pools formed by the rain, to form a giant dragon. He closes to ten meters, and with another feral shout, the dragon takes off, rushing towards your position rapidly. What will you do? made by renni

Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Dragon Projectile Technique)
Rank: B.
Type: Offensive.
Range: Range determined by Dominion rank.
Handseals: 25.
Chakra: High.
Special: Due to the nature of the attack, the dragon can strike available aerial targets as well, as long as they are within their 'Suiton Ryuuken' range. If the dragon’s head is severed from its body, the lost appendage reverts to its natural water state and the remaining severed stub attached to the water source can re-grow once more. Only focusing a strong attack 'A' ranked or higher on the head will defeat it for sure. Up to one dragon can be made per use, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: Suiryuudan no Jutsu is one of Suiton’s strongest ninjutsu, mainly because of its impact force and its ability to attack enemies in the air and on the ground. The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a column of water in the form of a dragon to rise from the water and then strike at their target. Upon striking its target and ensnaring it in its aquatic maw, the dragon explodes with great force, flooding all nearby and providing an ample amount of water for more Suiton techs, should any enemies remain standing.
Domain: Suiton.

A moment of silence is ripped apart as the wretched scream tears through the night. Foot steps pound the ground as the cloaked figure charges forward towards Kiyoshi. Its sheer speed serves as a testament to the foe's physical prowess. The weathered veteran tactically recognizes the danger of placing himself within arms reach of the creature and proceeds in a pragmatic manner. Heat and anxiety mix and churn in a fluttering rush through Kiyoshi's veins, as he turns about grabbing his whirling kunai and running away from the impending threat. Contorting his torso and head to look back at the creature, he relishes the warmth of his own body's heat against the cold uncertainty and doubt. It has been far too long since the shinobi had come across something so... new.

Ontop of this mystery's physical prowess though, Kiyoshi notices as it draws closer its hands come together forming handseals. Thin whisps of water vapor have already begun to rise slowly from his coat as he shunshins sideways ten meters around the corner of one of the many skyscrapers of amegakure. Behind him he can hear the churning and splashing of water and another tactical decision is quickly made.

His legs carry him away powerfully across the wet ground on the soles of thundering boots. His hands weave furious and intricate through a long string of hand seals. His eyelids pry fully apart for his eye to take in the threat of the approaching water dragon. Time almost seems to slow down as doubt hounds after him for the decisions he has made. The waterdragon's gaping maw begins to close around Kiyoshi just as he finishes his final seal.

A thick cloud of steam erupts from the point of contact shrouding Kiyoshi as the dragon's head evaporates instantly in a roaring hiss. Without pause to appreciate his success, Kiyoshi utilizes the steam cover and races to the skysraper beside him. Quickly racing up the wall of the building to better see this bold new threat he peers down for signs of movement as falling rain continues to turn to steam around him.

Pulling a single strap of his coat causes the heavy intricate coat to release its hold of his body. The coat unfurls fluttering down through the steam to the ground revealing Kiyoshi in his metallic mesh pants and vest burnt black from common use. Not a stealthy action, but Kiyoshi was unsure of the creature's strength and refused to hold back in this fight. If he had kept his coat on it would likely be burnt to ash as his interal temperature continued to soar.

Jutsu Use

[/u]

Utsuru (Pyromancer’s Aura)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S (No Cost)
Type: Supplementary / Airontoku Kekkei-Genkai / Futton Nintaijutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Highest rank known determines the temperature levels the clan member can control their own body temperature as well as the temperature around them, the range it can extend, and finally, the time it takes for the user to heat up. Keep in mind that the further someone is away from the clan member, the more the heat will dissipate; being within 1/3rd of the clan member's heat range will result in full temperature; being between 1/3rds and 2/3rds of the distance away will result in the heat, halved; finally, over 2/3rds to their limit results in 1/4th of the heat suffered. Only Hyouton (Ice) jutsu equal in rank will be able to nullify the effects of the heat, given they match or overwhelm the size of the area containing Boil chakra.
D: 3 meter range / average human temperature (97.6º) / Half Turn heating time
C: 6 m / x1.5 human temp / Full Turn heating
B: 9 m / x2 temp / 2 turns of heating
A: 12m / x2.5 temp / 3 turns
S: 15 m / x3 temp / 4 turns

Enkan (Fiery Hide)
Rank: D, C, [red]B[/red], A, S (Mid)
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Self
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: D - Low, C - Mid, B - High, A - High x2, S - High x3 [initial + upkeep]
Special: Evaporates all Suiton creations surrounding the user with intense heat equal to the highest rank known. Keep in mind this can only be used when the clan member has activated their 'Utsuru' (Pyromancer's Aura), and as such, the rank used must match that of 'Utsuru'.
Description: After mastering the way of the magma flame, the Airontoku learns to manipulate their very own body heat, intensifying the temperatures produced. Once such magnified temperatures are created, they may be radiated to create a small 1 foot aura about the user of the highest temperatures. Such temperatures can near instantly evaporate water, as well as ice, effectively protecting the user from such techniques. The aura however will not work on incoming physical attacks that do not dissolve, for it cannot burn/halt the attack quickly enough. The jutsu itself is constantly in action, surrounding the user’s body.
Domain: Airontoku. Atatameru (Blinding Heat).


Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D (low)
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.
Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you. 
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu

Masteries In Play

[/u]

Tier One - Central Heating: Through rigorous trials and tribulations, the Airontoku have learned to produce their renowned heat with less of a tax on their body. Because of this, all Airontoku techniques require one less tier of chakra.

Tier Two - Fahrenheit: It is said that the Airontoku's true goal is to become "hotter than the sun." While impossible, their unyielding devotion to reaching such an unreachable is the perfect fuel to drive them harder and faster than most. From this, they have learned to increase their temperatures beyond what is considered "standard," effectively doubling their Utsuru rank's effectiveness (i.e a b-rank Utsuru would be x4 the body temp).
