Reijingu Tamashī no Ken
The Raging Soul's Fist
The Raging Soul's Fist
___Description:
Every being follows a tempo that defines their life. Every being has a heart and soul that guides them and pushes them beyond limitation. These two ideals lead to the design of the Reijingu Tamashi no Ken style. The founders, a pair of monks, soon adapted the style to utilize chakra manipulation and control in order to increse its effectiveness. Now, by manipulating chakra and utilizing a shinobi's 'Inner Tempo' the shinobi is able to unleash devastating attacks in rapid succession while still covering their bases.
___Notes:
• Due to the nature of the style, every [Unleash] technique takes half of its cost from chakra, half from stamina.
• Techniques of this style come in three varieties: [Waltz], [Unleash], and [Unleash to Unleash] combos. [Waltz] techniques set up a rapid succession of movements meant to either position themself for an attack or evade oncoming attacks, [Unleash] acts as a 'finisher' technique that uses chakra to deliver deadly attacks. [Unleash] techniques require a specific number of pre-requisate techniques to be used before the [Unleash] can be used. The exception to this rule is if the shinobi enters Raging Soul. [Unleash to Unleash] combos are actually improvements and additions towards a single combo. At the height of the style, the shinobi can either use segments of the combo to reduce stamina drain or the entire thing at once.
• Any [Unleash] can be used to null a Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, or Taijutsu of equal rank if met head on.
• Due to the nature of the style, in which the user thrives on constant motion, after using a [Waltz], succeeding [Waltz] techniques cost one rank lower. (C=D, D=E). [Unleash] technique costs remain the same. Shinobi cost reductions apply to the reduced rank.
• The shinobi may move on to the next Stage after learning all techniques of the current Stage. However, regardless of class or learning rules, the shinobi may only learn up to one rank above their own. The latter limitation is lifted at Jounin rank.

Uchigawa no Tenpo (Inner Tempo)
Simple :: C-Ranked :: Passive
This is the foundation of the entire style, and the ability to use it. Through meditation, the 'Inner Tempo' of the shinobi is found, and sets how fast or slow the shinobi moves. This 'Inner Tempo' will aid the shinobi in setting up combos and moving fluidly. (This must be learned for the Succession Stamina Reduction rule to apply)

Ruach no Hantei [Rauch's Judgement]
Complex :: C-Ranked [Unleash]

___S t a g e T h r e e [3]
Forōsurū [Follow Through]
Complex :: D to C-Ranked [Waltz/Unleash]
Normally, the shinobi only uses one [Waltz] technique at a time. However, having used the style for this long, the shinobi can utilize a [Waltz] and a succeeding [Unleash] of Stage One or Stage Two at the same time for one D-Ranked cost if from Stage One, or one C-Ranked cost from Stage Two. Is automatically learned after learning Nefesh to Rauch.
Bīingu no Fuzai [Absence of Being]
Simple :: C-Ranked [Waltz]
Stand alone or a follow up of Sphere Waltz, the shinobi using their momentum and light steps to avoid and evade by spinning, concentrating their 'hit box' and making off-center attacks miss completely while positioning themself in the optimum striking or evading position.
Neshamah no Aki [Neshamah's Fall]
Complex :: B-Ranked [Unleash]
A follow-up of Absence of Being, the shinobi concentrates chakra into their leg while going from a standing spin into an aerial barrel roll. The shinobi then brings their heel upon the evaded opponent, aiming for either their head or shoulder. This technique can also be done by crouching after the initial spin and by pushing off the ground with their hands, the shinobi can kick at the opponent's chin or their method of attack (Fist, weapon, etc.)

Gōsutosuteppu [Ghost Step]

An upgraded version of Blink Step, the shinobi now moves in a flicker for upwards to ten steps. During this time, their speed is essentially ten fold for this short burst.

Chayah Suru Neshamah [Neshamah to Chayah]
Complex :: A-Ranked [Unleash to Unleash]
During the Rauch to Neshamah combo, the method of launch is altered for added damage. Instead of simply performing an uppercut or back flip kick, the shinobi drives their foot into the opponent, then bends back, placing the combined weight of their opponent and themself on their palms. This launches both combatants into the air. From this position, the shinobi performs a spinning push (a drill kick of sorts). With this change, the heel drop carries added momentum, delivering a more devastating attack.
___S t a g e F i v e [5]
Forōsurū o Shūtoku Suru [Master Follow Through]
Complex :: C to B-Ranked [Waltz/Unleash]

The exception is an [Unleash to Unleash] combo. Is automatically learned after learning Neshamah to Chayah.
Neshamah Suru Yechidah [Chayah to Yechidah]
Complex :: S-Ranked [Unleash to Unleash]
An addition to the Neshamah to Chayah combo, the shinobi ends the string of attacks with a divebomb. In this new developement, the mastery of chakra control within taijutsu is shown. Right before impact, the shinobi forms a sphere of chakra between his attack point and the body of his opponent. When the three collide with each other, the sphere seems to implode.... the explodes. This can be highly dangerous to both parties involved, as such raw chakra power can easily backlash on the user as much as it can damage the victim. (Roll six sided dice. Odd Number = Backlash, Even = No Backlash). The only way to prevent the Backlash effect, which completely trashes the user's body and will make the user remain unable to use chakra unless they stay within a hospital's medical attention for three full days (Real Time), as well as drains all but 10% of their current stamina., is to have activated Raging Soul.
___S t a g e S i x [6]
Sourureijingu [Raging Soul]
Complex :: S-Ranked
The ultimate technique of the Fist of the Raging Soul style isn't an actual move, but a mode. Having mastered their 'Inner Tempo' and 'Inner Soul' by coming this far, the shinobi can unleash both's power. Their body emits chakra crackles as five orbs appear behind them, representing the Five Levels of Soul. In this state, the shinobi is able to freely control their chakra within their bodies, and easily control their center of gravity. For a total of six posts, [Waltz] movements cost no stamina and double their effectiveness (Doubles movement of Blink and Ghost Step, Sphere Waltz and Absence of Being are performed instantly), and [Unleash] techniques can be used whenever, stand alone or following any [Waltz] movement. [Unleash] techniques and [Unleash to Unleash] combos are counted as one rank higher damage wise. As an added bonus, the user feels no exhaustion, no pain, no fear; they have found true inner harmony. Once the six posts are up, the user's body returns to normal, and all taxes that were not felt before rush the body. The user is left exhausted and defenseless, but chakra and stamina points return in normal fashions.
