Late response, but mostly cuz I was already talking to you on skype. Welcome haha.

Naruto: Continuum

Heirana, Shirayuri

---

Listening intently as the Tsuchikage briefed them on what details he had in regards to their mark, the kunoichi stowed the information away, picking it apart as best she could as she let the man finish. It was an interesting feeling being in the man's presence, he was simultaneously emitting an air of weakness and an sense of power. It wasn't traditional power, she knew. No, Kobuto was something of a trickster, and every bit a strategist and tactician. In his own way he was a force to be reckoned with.

She admired him.

"Yes sir, we'll work with what we have. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to brief us," her tone was respectful, though serious. She glanced to her teammates, "I'll keep things together," she stated simply, turning her head back to the man, though not to see him. It was a gesture of respect more than anything else. It wasn't as if she could see anyways, and it wasn't because of the mask covering her eyes either.

Bowing her head to the man for a brief moment to show her respect, Shirayuri then turned around, her head aiming at her teammates a moment before she passed them and left the room. It was her way of saying follow. The two would be quite used to her curt nature by now, so they'd likely take no offense.

As she walked she rolled over what they knew. Their mark was a former shinobi of Kumogakure, and clearly had the surname of a rather prestigious clan from around that area. The Kanagata, masters of lightning and magnetism. They surely had one of the most versatile kekkei genkai in their country. She hadn't fought one of their kin before, it would prove...interesting, though likely more troublesome than anything else. "Nobushige," she said, getting the man's attention before she spoke, "Tracking, scouting the area. That's you. Strike from the shadows if possible, understood?" She turned her head towards him as if she were looking at him, it was a formality. She couldn't see him with her eyes. She knew he was there through his chakra and the mask that covered her eyes and ears. The device took utterly minuscule amounts of chakra from her, mostly to activate the chakra that was stored in it. This chakra was then converted into sound waves of varied frequency by seals and the object's mechanisms at which point they were released. She could release them in to a localized area, outwards in a sphere, or in a expanding cylinder around her.

It was more than just an asset, it was almost an advantage.

She waited for Nobushige to respond before turning her head slightly to appear as if she were regarding Mayumi. "Mayumi, once we've located her base of operations, I want you to give us as much intel as your sharingan will allow before we go into this, understood? We'll decide additional roles after that point." While most of what she said were delivered as statements or rhetorical questions, there was the unsaid option of adding to her plans, giving constructive criticism essentially. She was not so hard headed as to ignore good ideas or advice.

That would have been a fatal mistake on her part, and she did her best to avoid such missteps. It was her way. It had been for a long time and it would continue to be likely till the day she died. That was of course, if there was no reason to change.

The Prophecy

Any objections to me having the deo'iel respond to Ixion's question?

@Dark Jack

None on my end.

Yeah, that's fine, as long as Judgement isn't vulnerable to the wide range of Uber Magics higher tier characters tend to have he can fight fine.

@MelonHead

I hope you mean that it makes him less vulnerable, rather than immune (as I admit that it came off more as "almost immune," though I doubt you're that kind of person lol). Anywho. I just updated Szayeis' character sheet. Given our conversation just now, and the CS I read of Judgement, I think the fight should work out just fine.

I don't usually make characters this powerful btw. Hope it doesn't give anyone the wrong idea.

RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

That's fine, but magic is different in Judgement's universe to your own, so when an attack transcends that universe boundary (aka acting upon Judgement) it falls under his armours rules, which basically weakens supernatural forces against him. The armour is divine in nature however, so even if that is required to dampen your character's 'abilities' he does have that ability.

@MelonHead

Hmm, we can just go and say it's the armor's divine qualities that make it more resistant to the abilities of his Origin State and Shattered Path, if that's okay with you of course. It is your character after all.

<Snipped quote by yoshua171>

Judgement is essentially the right hand of God, so power level isn't an issue, as mentioned Judgement scales towards his opponents (particularly when facing a large and very real threat while he's working as his god's instrument.)

Magic acting upon Judgement is always effected, regardless of power. So take whatever forms you want, just be aware that Judgement will be stronger than your character physically by a significant margin, and his armour will protect him somewhat from magic. When you're finished with everything I'll take a look at the sheet and adjust Judgement appropriately to be the physical mirror of your character's magical power.

@MelonHead

Sounds like a plan. I should note that Szayeis is effectively a near perfect shapeshifter. He can't mimic magical attributes in his shifting, but he can effectively give himself more physical strength by crafting a form that has it.

Yes I'm aware of how ridiculous that is. Nonetheless, Szayeis was designed as a very powerful character from the get go ^^;

Still, he won't be as physically powerful as Judgement, since Judgement is empowered by his god and Szayeis is just "mimicking" that physical prowess, in a fashion.

The reason I mentioned the lack of effect on his Origin State is because a Nightwalker's Origin state, regardless of the form and abilities it has, are effectively NOT magic. Origin State is a nightwalker's truest set of abilities and form and it is not effected by things that would dampen/weaken magic.

It can be damaged by magic or physical means. It can be harmed by "divine," light/influence/energy (as that's one of a nightwalker's chief weaknesses), but it is immutable in regards to being weakened by abilities that would usually influence magic. Hence my statement.

@MelonHead just an update of sorts. I've nearly finished with the update to Szayeis' abilities.

I took a look at Judgement by the way. I think they might be a fairly decent match up as his "divine" ability to basically screw with "evil people," in addition to disrupting other magics would likely be fairly effective against Szayeis, who is a magic-heavy character.

Although I should tell you one thing in particular. Due to the magic resistant/disrupting abilities of Judgement being very similar to a type of spell in the verse that Szayeis comes from (known as Despells), that effect is unlikely to do much if he enters either his Origin State (I'd been meaning to write this up and it's what I'm working on at the moment) or his Shattered Path, though the latter will be somewhat/slightly dampened most likely.

If you're wondering as to the general power level of Szayeis.... Basically speaking, Szayeis is probably at the TOP of the Powered tier, very nearly pushing into the "God," category. In his verse a demonic lord level demon is capable of using all of their energy to create what amounts to enough power to level a city. Think a nuke.

Szayeis has either that much energy (referred to as Essence in his verse) or twice that amount. For the purpose of keeping the two at the same level, you can choose between a few options.

Either he'll not have his Shattered Path and he'll only have the normal amount of essence for a demonic lord. Or he'll have twice that amount and both his Origin State and Shattered Path.

Granted, if I were you, I'd wait till I finish his Origin State to make that decision ^^;
