Pure Tai Users

*For the most up to date list, check the forums.

History: What once started as a style, has grown into a large-scale test of strength. From all walks of life, from pursuing pure strength and grit to the very real inability to form Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, the Pure Tai Clan focus on making dominant ninja as functional as those who can use all types of jutsu. Rather than a specific family, the Pure Tai can come from any village and their training can begin at any time as the focus is to use your strength as opposed to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. However, it takes total dedication to Taijutsu abilities, especially with the prices that come with such a hardened path of life.
Pure Tai Abilities: Pure Tai Practitioners are those that have committed themselves almost entirely to the art of Taijutsu. To further their abilities, they train themselves to use the Eight Gates, a technique that allows them to increase their physical abilities to inhuman levels.
Special: Pure Tai users will have to keep a minimum of 1x amount of SP in Ninjutsu and Genjutsu and cannot ever exceed that minimum. The regular 2x rule applies to the other 4 stat groups.

Hachimon - Eight Celestial Gates
Art: -
Rank: Highest Achieved Version
Type: Supplementary Per Turn
Chakra: Varies
Description: In addition to the tenketsu, the chakra circulatory system houses eight valves responsible for regulating the flow of chakra. The Hachimon, or Eight Gates, are located along the spine, the heart and in the ninja’s head. It is possible to force the body to open these gates, which allows the ninja to release ten times the usual amount of power. Unfortunately such power comes at a price. As each subsequent gate is opened, the ninja increases the damage to their body and comes closer to death. For this reason gate opening has been deemed Kinjutsu. (Rest Gate has been moved from its canon position for construction purposes).
*Note: Costs one action to activate at first. No actions to change gates after that. Can start with any gate, but only the highest gate activated will be the one used. Must Quest for each gate.

Omote Renge - Front Lotus
Art: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Attack
Chakra: 45
Description: Omote Renge is a Taijutsu technique, which was previously forbidden due to the strain it puts on a ninja’s body. By opening the first of the Celestial Gates, the Initial Gate, the ninja is able to release the restraints in the brain and push the body farther. In this attack, the ninja first loosens the bandages around his or her arm. With a quick dash, they are suddenly below their target and a quick upward kick sends them skyward. They then jump into the air to place their chest to the back of their opponent. The shinobi will then wrap his arms and the bandages around their target to prevent escape. As the pair begins their fall back to earth, the user begins to spin downwards at a high rate of speed, driving the opponent head first into the ground. At the last moment the ninja releases the bandages and jumps to the clear.

Art: Taijutsu
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Attack
Chakra: 100
Description: The shinobi first opens a celestial gate to increase his speed, they then use the extending bandages to wrap up the opponent and launch them into the air. The shinobi will then launch into the air and begin a barrage of strikes, knocking the opponent back towards the ground. They will then finish them off with a strong strike right into the ground itself.
Limit: Pure Tai User. Minimum Shoumon Gate Active.

Ura Renge - Reverse Lotus
Art: Taijutsu
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Attack
Chakra: 210
Description: Ura Renge is a Taijutsu technique which was forbidden due to the strain it puts on a ninja’s body. To complete the technique, the user has to open the first four of the Celestial Gates. Like Omote Renge, the user quickly moves beneath the target and kicks them upwards. While in the air, they will then pummel their opponent throughout the air with high-speed Taijutsu attacks to weaken them. Then at the apex of the attack, they will strike the opponent in the chest towards the ground. The shinobi then moves in close to their opponent and attaches their bandage. The user will then allow their opponent to get some distance, before pulling the target back to their body and performing a hard downward palm strike to their chest causing them to crash into the ground with massive damage.
Limit: Pure Tai User. Minimum Tomon Gate Active.

Asakujaku - Morning Peacock
Art: Taijutsu
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Attack

Description: The shinobi first opens the sixth Celestial Gate Keimon, which gives them access to an enormous amount of chakra. Using this tremendous burst of power and speed, they will approach the opponent in a distinctive stance. When near enough, they will kick their opponent and launch them into the air. They will then strike them multiple times, causing the distinctive peacock fan to develop. The opponent will then fall back to the earth, covered in the strike’s aura.
