Kigen: Mood Root Internal

[Hebika Nara]

Technique Name: Moddo Ne: Naizō (Mod Root: Internal)

Class: 5-1

Technique Type: Kigen

Usable By: Mod Souls with a Pill form. No Failures/Giga

Technique Element: None

Technique Description and Effects: Mod Root is the base ability for a Mod Soul's ability to effect the gigai they have, as well as beyond. However, Mod souls are (in addition to effecting and integrating their surroundings into their gigai) also capable of turning that control inward. By increasing the concentration and consciously making an effort to modify their body's internal workings, a Mod Soul can demonstrate an incredible control over their body, inside and out.

At Class 5, this is a very superficial level of the technique. The Mod soul can modify very surface-level aspects of their body: Pigment, coloration, luster, and so on. At Learned, this is merely a cosmetic sort of application. At Proficient, this becomes detailed enough that a Mod soul can easily disguise themselves, transforming into almost an entirely new person, requiring a senses or ES of 75 (Increased by 75 for each point in Disguise or Acting, decreased by 75 per point the target has in Analysis) in order to be recognized. At Mastered, a mod soul is even capable of camouflaging themselves, requiring a target to have Senses equal to 100 (Increased by 75 per point in Disguise or Stealth, decreased by the target's Anti-stealth) in order to visually discern them, though this does nothing to disguise their reiatsu signature and they must remain stationary for this to work properly. This class of the technique costs nothing to use for the learned version, 25 reiatsu per post for the Proficient version, and 50 reiatsu per post for the Mastered version. Analysis can also be used by an enemy to see through these.

At Class 4, the mod soul is able to effect themselves a little bit deeper. At this level, they can effect the flow of blood in their shallow skin tissue around wounds, eliminating surface bleeding and allowing them to direct blood where it can be more useful, even allowing the Mod Soul to close up shallow wounds (Skin layers down to the muscle, but not the muscle itself) if they have 150 in Healing Expertise or a 3 in Damage Recovery (Reduced by 50 HE or 1 skill point per mastery above Learned). This costs 75 reiatsu to perform on a single limb or body-part (Head, Torso).

At Class 3, the Mod Soul's control goes ever-deeper. At this point, they are capable of full control over their circulatory system, capable of redirecting blood and all but eliminating their bleeding, so long as they have a 150 in Healing Expertise or a 2 in Damage Recovery. This costs 100 reiatsu to accomplish for each body part/section of the body (Leg, head, thorax).

At Class 2, the Mod Soul gains control over their own autonomous bodily functions. They can drop their body into a state of low-oxygen requirement to allow themselves to hold their breath for up to an hour (or 4 posts, whichever happens first) if they have this class Learned, they can pause their heartbeat or breathing for up to fifteen minutes (or 1 post, whichever happens first) if this ability is up to proficient, and they can even augment their brain's chemistry to eliminate addiction, physically-triggered illussions, or even stop the progress of a poison circulating through their body if they have this class of the technique mastered. Each of these modifications requires the use of 300 reiatsu, requiring a post of cooldown between uses, and require an OS superiority to do so, otherwise the user must pay 800 reiatsu.

At Class 1, the Mod Soul is capable of something very special. At this level they can control their body to such an extent that they can keep their body running and functioning irregardless of damage. Using Mod Root, they can reattach body parts, maintain the mobility and function of a limb that is all but obliterated, and even continue to use their gigai despite the damage os major body systems or severe damage (But not complete destruction of) critical organs. This costs 300 (Increased to 400 at Mastered) reiatsu per post to accomplish, giving Mod Souls an ability to ignore damage even beyond a Quincy's Ransotengai. At Learned, portions of the Mod soul's body can keep functioning, but at 35% capacity (100 becomes 35) (65% lowered speed and strength, if it is the head, then senses are reduced by 65% , if it is the chest, then ES is reduced by 65%). At Proficient, this is increased to 50% capacity. At Mastered, the Mod Soul can maintain 80% functionality despite damage to the body, though destruction (As opposed to just damage) of the heart or Brain will still cause the gigai to lose the ability to continue functioning. Additionally, if a Mod Soul has HSR (250 HE), they can pay 200 reiatsu per post to regenerate damage to Vital organs over the course of 2 posts (First post brings destroyed vital organs to the 'Damaged' state, then to 'healed' the following post and thus no longer needs this technique to resume function) so long as the Mod Soul has a total of 6 points between Damage Recovery and Bleeding Tolerance. Only one MAJOR Vital organ can be regenerated at a time. Once a part of the body has regenerated, the stats return to normal.

How to use technique: Described Above.

Technique Drawbacks: See above. Additionally, Mod Souls may not learn a class of this technique until they reach that class (Prodigy may learn it if they are 1 class below the tech). Additionally, learning this technique must always be done in a training (Though raising it to Proficient or Mastered can be done merely by spending TTP). Can only learn a Class of this technique up to the highest Proficient class of Moddo Ne (Mod Root) that the user already knows.

Cannot be learned by Failures or those who do not have, or have given up heir pill form (Example: Mod Giga)

Ray needs to stop claiming things in queue and forgetting to grade them.

Alright so, we'll go Class by Class.

Class 5 - Up to Proficient is good, but I don't think Mastery should come with an effect that's complete camouflage, especially since you have two Skills to boost it significantly, one of which is pretty common. I'd say camouflage as long as the target remains still (since it's Class 5, blending with the background while stationary is fine, but blending while moving is a no-go), and add Analysis to possible counters (a person with Analysis might be able to discern trace differences or slight alterations to an area that allows them to counteract Disguise).

Class 4 - Specify "shallow wounds." I'm also leery about the mastery bonus, because requiring only 50 HE or a 1 in a skill when you can actually redirect blood flow (in other words, neutralizing even gaping wounds even if you can't close them by redirecting blood to flow normally despite injury). I'd say have a set value (50 HE or a 1 in Damage Recovery is fine for closing surface-level wounds) and save full blood redirecting for a later level.

Class 3 - Redirecting blood here is cool Class-wise now, especially since that's the main focus of this Class. Set the bar to 150 HE or a 2 in Damage Recovery (SoW doesn't really apply to healing/redirecting; it's more of a push through kind of thing).

Class 2 - We're good up until the last one. I would say that to remove illusions, addiction, or poison, the user is required to have an OS greater than or equal to the effect they're countering. Otherwise, I really like the first two effects - they're niche, but have potential uses (such as against poison clouds and the like)

Class 1 - Full functionality of the body even at a 300 Reiatsu/post cost is a bit much. I'd say 35%/50%/75% by mastery level, meaning that this lets you get a few last-second attacks in, but doesn't just give you an immortality button either. Make it last until an area is fully healed, at which point full functionality is restored. I'd also limit it to one major organ being regenerated at a time; I don't imagine most people are going to take out several at once, but just in case add that in.

Class 5: Accepted that camo is only for being still. And I added that Analysis can be used so long as they are not in combat (As it specifically states that it can't be used in combat in the skill description).

Class 4: Specified that shallow means down to the muscle, but not the muscle itself. Additionally it's specified that blood redirection is only for shallow wounds, as such gaping would not be able to get the bleeding redirected even at mastered for this level.

Class 3: Donezo

Class 2: This only applies to such things that have a physical trigger to one of the senses. I don't see how OS would factor into this if it's triggered through a visual, audio, or olfactory stimulus, which means that the target's transmission method is through a sense, not by stuffing their reiatsu into things. If you like, I can specify that reiatsu-based versions of these afflictions can effect them. Not only that but A, it has a CONSIDERABLE cost, and it's like an etchasketch, they can only cleanse themselves once every other post. Which I think gives LOTS of leeway for effecting them even if it did make sense to involve OS. But if you have thoughts counter than this I am very free for discussion. MOST Illussions/poisons and such are reiatsu based on our site anyway, so this is niche as it were.

Class 1: I'm willing to bump up the cost for this (Bumped it up to 400 per post for Mastered), or even have a maximum number of posts they are able to do so per thread as this is te major thing I'd like to accomplish which would allow Mod Souls to discern themselves over (Or at the very least match the capabilities of) Quincy's Ransotengai. (Dropped Proficient efficiency down from 80% to 50%) Mildly confused as to the 'make it last' part? Are you saying to have the ability have a duration instead of a per/post cost? Added in the One Major Organ Regen at a time.

Quick grading before I run to work:

Class 5 - Believe it or not, Analysis can be used in combat. I know it states otherwise in the skill but that's kind of poorly written. The difference between BA and Analysis is that BA is focused specifically on battle and can be used in the heat of action. Analysis is a situation of "sit still, think it through." In sections of battle where the action slows down, Analysis is actually a very valid Skill to make use of. That's why I applied it to this camo - you'd be sitting still, thus the battle would slow enough that Analysis could apply.

Class 4 - Was just the way it was written, I think, so we're cool here.

Class 3 - "so long as they have a 150 in Healing Expertise or a 2 in Damage Recovery (reduced by 50 Healing Expertise or 1 skill point per mastery above Learned)." So if they have this mastered, they need a 0 in Damage Recovery? My intent here was rather than reducing it by mastery, those were hard bars and just left at that without alteration. If you want to keep the mastery updates, then it would be base 250 HE and a... 4 in DR? That's an unreasonable expectation. So yeah, remove the mastery reducing the values, imo, because otherwise it is far too cheap to use.

Class 2 - That's just it though, abilities that trigger the senses do so through the Reiatsu layered in them, causing the sensory stimuli to do something. If you can list a few examples of techniques where OS is not used to determine potency, please do.

Class 1 - Sorry, what I meant by "Make it last" is that since you can heal parts of the body, have the penalty last until the area is healed, at which point that area regains its original stats. That would separate it from Rasotengai, which only pushes the body beyond its non-functional state; yours would be weaker, but give you the potential to last until you can push yourself back up to full power again.

[Hebika Nara]

Class 5 - Analysis has been begrudgingly added. >:LLLL

Class 3: No more reduction based on mastery.

Class 2: Made it cost more if they do not have Os superiority. This is acceptable, yes?

Class 1: Changed, however as put in, is it ok if the functionality is bumped to 100% if the damage is to nonvital areas?

[Zeich Yajuu]

All good through Class 2.

Class 1, nein. Reduced functionality leading into healing is balanced compared to Quincy being able to puppet but breaking themselves more (you don't push a broken body with no repercussions). Keep it as is, and we have our 1/2.

[Hebika Nara]

Pbttbtb. But fien. Changed

[Himitsu Kasumi'Oji]

Cool tech, Z did a good job balancing it. I have no qualms.
