Origin of Species

Thanks Serenity. I'll do some research. Posted by the way ^_^

Origin of Species

The world turned, the orb of light fell, and another rose, a satellite. Unseen form, perceived while nothing noted its presence. The flowing substance, liquid, water, covered much of the world it observed. The air was thick with moisture and chemical mixtures, gaseous and to something less aware, invisible. The world's surface seemed inert to the entity, without activity, but it had no way to truly understand this state of being.

Stillness, lack of motion. These concepts did not fit what it considered this to be.

Then, moving closer to the vast water, the being entered it, unimpeded or affected by the liquid, and explored with unfeeling catharsis.

It found what it sought, in concept.

Life.

Observing for a long while, the Matrices analyzed this...life and watched it move and interact with its surroundings, being effected by them and effecting them in turn. Reaching out with its formless presence it influenced the tiny creatures and found that unlike all else, its touch had an effect. The code within the tiny...organisms, reacted and one of the things became sick and quickly perished. A mutation caused that did not properly sync with the rest of its form.

Intrigued by this, the Matrices drifted over the small amorphous things and again made its presence touch that of the things. It touched life and watched as its influence caused something most beautiful: Change.

While it had seen movement in the heavens by the two celestial orbs, the formless being had never seen much of this thing. Change was foreign to it, and yet now it was becoming a part of it. With each alteration it made, the creatures, cells, were modified and change occurred. This, to the being, was beautiful, but it needed something...more. So, with great patience the being tinkered and eventually the amoebas gained a heightened defense against others not of their own kind. This, however, isolated them from one another. That would be the next change, but the Matrices would take its time, for haste created only waste and time was not a worry for the being.

Not at all.

The Matrices

10% Amoebas with reinforced cell walls
0% free
90% yet to be developed

Amoebas with reinforced cell walls, granting greater defense against predatory organisms. These amoebas obtain energy through bits of protein and the like gathered from their environments.

Origin of Species

antarctic termite said It's pretty much the same 'try to create a singular ultimate species' idea, except it does so by stealing genes (not sure if that's a thing IRL but it can be here, if you can make it work), stealing the qualities of other organisms and assimilating them... Or like a virus, that tries to assert its own DNA over other species (absolutely no idea how that would work). All I'm thinking about is that it doesn't leave much for the entity itself to do, seeing as the species manages its own DNA either way. :|Ed: Ok so I lost computer access halfway thtough a post, and it'll be up either within a few hours or tomorrw morning. Everyone just keep doing whatever it is you think you're doing. You can grow a further +5% if you so desire.

There is an ideal of perfection, yes, but you're wrong in that the entity wouldn't have much to do. Just as you have no idea how the concept would work, I'm still working it out in my head and so the entity will need to experiment with the idea (and apply it through his sphere) to see what works and what doesn't.

I expect a lot of trial and error on The Matrices' part to even figure out if its possible for such a thing to occur in general, which I think will be rather fun :D

Plus, I gave The Matrices some leeway so that if such a thing seems impossible, or it loses hope for some amount of time, that it will not just stop functioning and will rather pursue other goals, even if they aren't entirely related to the original (or just don't seem to be initially).

Anyways, I'd like to get a post up methinks.

Oh, consider this: Integrating foreign DNA is likely to (for awhile) cause problems for the organisms and it'll take awhile to fine the right mixture of genetic code that will allow the creature to even 'store' the DNA properly to begin with. Plus, such an ability initially seems completely useless in regards to the creature's individual survival and instincts towards proliferating its genes to the next generation.

Aka it's a development that, unless integrated into the instincts of said creature, would be something that The Matrices would have to either work up to, or would be entirely contrary to certain basic instincts. So there is that.

I've thought it out quite a bit ^_^

Oh yeah, I also plan to have an organism (at some point) which has traits that are both plant-like and animal-like in nature. It should be intriguing to see if I can end up with such a result after a good while~

Yoshua's Character Storage Mark VII

Amakaze, Nagasu

Name: Amakaze(driving rain/Wind and Rain), Nagasu(to set adrift).
Nickname/Alias: Drifting Wind.
Gender: Male.
Age: 17.
Age Appearance: 16.

Village: Kumogakure.
Birthplace: Kumogakure.

Alignment/Affiliation or Organization: Kumogakure and the Amakaze clan.

Clan/Bloodline: Amakaze/Kanryuu kaiha -
Much like their clan bloodline, which is dominant, the Amakaze clan are very loose and air headed in nature. They are known widely as one of the least strict clans out of the majority and have barely any wish to participate in politics in a direct fashion much preferring to hover around the edges of issues only to provide a push or a breath of speech when it is truly necessary. The Amakaze's only true known ambition is their pursuit of perfect -or as near they can get- unity with the wind and flowing substances of the world around them. They are chief examples of free spirited, creative, and nearly incorruptible individuals.

Rank: Genin.
Chakra Nature: Wind, Water, Lightning. [in order from strongest to weakest with the only fully active one being in bold and the other being underline.

Personality: Nagasu is a rather strange fellow with very few ambitions and no real reason to be a nin other than his overwhelming urge to, 'become one with the wind', as many of his clan member seem to share. He is a free spirit and very creative in many aspects of his life including that of art and sometimes even poetry. One can even find this poetic affinity in some of his jutsu and the way he speaks even when around friends.

He is sometimes even mistaken for a user of marijuana due to his mind and actions simply showing him as being so...out there -while of course it is not true-. He is like a leaf blowing through the wind and as such is certainly not the leading type but would much rather follow or, even better, skirt around the edges just barely staying within the area of bounds.

Despite his out there disposition he is very aware of his surroundings and actually uses his opponents likelihood to assume him elsewhere to his advantage to strike and defend when they least expect it. His loyalties, unlike the rest of his personality, are unfaltering though to some they seem fickle. He is a rather cheerful soul and very little can get on his nerves as how can one anger a force of nearly ethereal life?

History: Nagasu has had a rather easy life with lax training and a supportive clan and family allowing him to embrace the way of the flowing currents, be it water, wind, or even lightning at the cusp, he is at home.

His time in the academy was longer than average due to his mentality and so it took him time to focus himself and pass the academy though he was likely capable some time before hand. He has recently taken into his mind to pass the chuunin exams as he had completed his missions at his own leisurely pace.

Weapons/Items: All normal nin weaponry.

Kekkei Genkai:
Spoiler

Name of Kekkei Genkai: Kanryuu kaiha(flowing through communion).
Clan: Amakaze.
Rank: D-A.
Description: The Amakaze's dominant kekkei genkai is, unlike common perception, not the cause of their strange mind set. Somewhat a style and somewhat an actual bloodline ability the Kanryuu kaiha is not rightly considered a true combination of elements but rather an intermingling of natural occurrences -as the Amakaze would describe it-.

Kanryuu kaiha is a flowing style of movements that easily move into each other. It uses the elements of wind and water to create formations of air or water with either many air bubbles or many water droplets. This does not create too much of a unique effect however the water becomes mixture becomes highly conductive of heat and electricity which is where the weakest affinity of lightning usually comes into play. Fire can conversely be used to heat the water to a powerful boiling point. It is also known that the Amakaze at higher ranks have an affinity to pressure control, at the least in their chief element of wind.

Without the lightning however the water and air affinities hide within each other allowing the user to easily flow one out unexpectedly in sudden -yet strangely harmonious- techniques. The Kanryuu kaiha often makes it appear as if the user can breath under water with one of its more infamous, but rather low level, techniques. Other than an increased sense of air and water currents there are no other real advantages or disadvantages to the kekkei genkai other than the obvious affinity weaknesses.
=========================================

[hider=Jutsu]Name of Technique: Kanryuu aijou(Flowing through sadness).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C-A. [currently C]
Range: The area of water can be formed up to 5 yards(15 feet) from him.
Nature Type: Wind and Water.

Description: Forming an area of mostly water he pushes long flowing 'strands' of air current into its body and allows it to continue moving as such as a passive motion. The technique is supplementary and used for preparation of his other techniques. The air within the water is highly compressed and held within by the water pressure. The 'strands' of air also effect the water within making them move at the same pace as the wind which can be changed to his will. The higher the skill (and thus rank) the more useful and versatile the application of this technique.

Weakness: It takes around 5 seconds to form the normal stage of this technique and can go up to 10. The body of this technique can be changed in size but is usually around the length of the average pick up truck from the bottom of the wheels to the roof. The larger the body of water the more chakra taken from the jutsu's formation.

====================

Name of Technique: Gizagiza kaiha(Jagged communion).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: 

Description: With the Kanryuu aijou active he changes the shape of it and allows the air within to form 'spikes' or blades to push out of the sides. The jutsu takes around 2-10 seconds to activate when used at D rank and over progression of skill this can be changed. 

Weakness: The longer the air is held in this shape the more taxing it becomes to hold.

====================

Name of Technique: Inou no chimodoro(Pocket of desperate struggle).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: E-B.
Range: The bubbles can be controlled from up to 8 yards(24 feet) away.
Nature Type: Wind or Water.

Description: Allowing air or water bubbles to be formed as he speaks -from the moisture or air around his mouth or even within to gather- he forms air bubbles with sound trapped inside. This sound can amplify as it stays in the bubble but so far this technique is unfinished as he has not unlocked his lightning affinity which will complete the technique.

Conversely, when underwater this technique can be used either on him or his opponent -but only one at his current level- to take any released air from their mouth if it opens. This however is the B ranked version and as such is not currently able to occur.

Regardless upon release of either sound or lightning (only sound at E and D rank) the sound stored will be released into the medium be it air or water.

Weakness: It is currently a very weak jutsu and has no real effect unless utilized with lightning at which point it becomes chakra taxing with continued use.

====================

Name of Technique: Uyouyo yofun(crawling with rage).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: D-C.
Range: 7 yards(21 feet).
Nature Type: Water and/or Wind.

Description: With the Kanryuu aijou active or with water and/or wind he lashes with either or both affinities attacking the designated target or targets. If he puts more effort into the technique he can actually layer wind within water to increase the blunt force and cutting power of the blow.

Weakness: This technique can attack a maximum of 2 people at once in its current rank. When using the slightly more advanced/layered version it is more unstable and likely to fail of confronted by fire or earth techniques and similar disruption tactics.

====================

Name of Technique: Gen'ei dankai(Phantom Steps).
Type of Jutsu: Nintaijutsu.
Rank: D-B.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Wind.

Description: By using both or either affinity manipulation he can 'walk on water/air' effectively but his speed is usually only a walk or jog as anything more usually breaks his concentration and makes him fall.

Weakness: Going faster than a jog will break his concentration and make him fall. This technique is mentally taxing and is not good to use over any long period of time at D rank.

====================

Name of Technique: Kanryuueki(Flowing through liquid).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: C-A.
Range: N/A.
Nature Type: Water.

Description: He is capable of manipulating the currents in his water to allow him at least jogging speed within his own area's of water.

Weakness: He can currently only move at jogging speed.

====================

Name of Technique: Kaijin no ibuki(Sea God's breath).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: 
Range: 
Nature Type: Wind.

Description: Using any of his water techniques or simply a technique where water is issued -most common is Kanryuu aijou- he draws the air bubbles from within to breath continuously.

Weakness: The air can run out rather quickly though he can draw wind back into the area to bolster his reserves. The jutsu, though low ranked, is rather annoying to keep working so he tends to preserve his air and thus chakra by doing so. The longer it is active the more chakra consumed as if continuous it constantly takes a small ebb of chakra.

====================

Name of Technique: Hikinami kaze(Rip current wind).
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu.
Rank: B.
Range: 12 yards(36 feet).
Nature Type: Wind.

Description: Currently his strongest technique this allows him to send or simply activate an area of tearing winds that throw off movement and -at current rank- cause low levels of damage. He some time refers to the technique as 'Pirania kaze' aka Piranha wind due to it tearing away at flesh ravenously similar to the fish.

Weakness: Due to its high rank this is his strongest and thus most taxing out of all his jutsu. He cannot use this jutsu more than once in any battle currently due to its high chakra cost of around 50%. He is very sparring in its use and only utilizes it if for sure hit or a tactic leading to victory is almost completely eminent.

【Guild Name】
Sabertooth.
【Mage Rank】
A Rank.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【Personality】
Careless, unintentionally deceptive, and most of all Humorous. Aevus is a pleasant guy to be around, tending to liven up any situation and add a comical air to things regardless of their intended seriousness. Of course this can be quite the bane, or at least an annoyance, in times of strife or high tension, though it is always nice to have someone to break the ice. He's fun, good humored, in fact a bit too good humored. In fact, within Sabertooth Aevus is said to be the best humored individual, one of the seldom few in fact, having almost every type of humor possible in his figurative arsenal. Some have even thought his magic was related to humor, only to be horribly disappointed and beaten when they found out they didn't have enoughtime to stop underestimating him. Regardless he tends to even be good natured to his opponents, be they sworn enemies, rivals, allies, idiots, geniuses, the whole 9 yards really. He is accepting, open minded, typically calm, and incredibly intelligent to the extent that he tends to almost subconsciously analyze and understand things and people passively. Life is simple to him, he likes t keep it that way, made rather ironic by his love of time --a rather complex concept-- and people in general --who also tend to be incredibly multifaceted. On the other hand, not everyone can get along with him usually due to the fact that he is so spontaneous and constantly humorous that it is not only hard to take him seriously but it can be difficult to tolerate or trust him. Strangely though he tends to be very companionable, though not necessarily loyal, and shows that he keeps his promises as long as they are logically good ideas to keep.

Of course while he is almost always exceptionally good natured, this is not always the case as he can indeed be annoyed. In fact, he is actually capable of being serious, something a good amount of people do not believe. While he can be annoyed and he can be serious, he is almost entirely incapable of true anger, rage, or any emotion of similar nature and intensity. He is eccentric at all times except for when serious, for once he drops all the pleasantries and fun he becomes a deadly, blunt, and all-business-no-bullshit kinda guy, the person who tends to be a horrible stick in the mud. He dislikes getting serious, doing his utmost to avoid it completely as it is as unpleasant for him as it is for others. Not to mention that it reveals to others his true age, while his normal actions and appearance tend to just make one thing he is quite young. This, of course, is false as he is older and far more experienced than he appears making him especially difficult to predict or understand in a battle, or even at a glance. Of course, it's not like he was easy to get anyways.

Arc of Time - Diabolus Ring: Focusing his magical energies into a ring surrounding his body time warps surrounding him and he raises his arm, aiming it at the target of his choice. The ring spins at increased speeds producing several more of itself which flow upwards downwards respectively continuing to move through one another and around Aevus's body. Finally when the energies have reached a peak a low thrum and several frequencied sounds resonate outwards and he proclaims the name of the spell. He then releases the rings from around him, sending them towards the target. The results have only been witnessed by onlookers and several of his guild members. Everyone else was too dead to recall the results.

Beyond these he simply names things on the fly, using basic manipulation and his deep understanding of time to combat his opponents.

Title: The Matrices
Intent: To create a creature who serves as the ultimate medium, devouring other beings and storing their genetic codes in themselves and modifying them into their own. The Matrices wishes to create a being that can both assimilate life and split it off of itself independently, or symbiotically with its own kind. While this entity has no explicit goal to dominate the world which its children live on, it seeks to craft the genetics of a creature that cannot be overpowered by another without either great consequence or a loss of its own self in some manor. The Matrices' mentality is neither objective nor subjective, but rather free flowing allowing it to change and adapt its strategies and thought processes easier than most. While this is its primary intent, The Matrices is unlike most other entities, though it does not know of them, and can choose to change its goal or deviate from it somewhat to experiment.

However, the Matrices is likely to come back to its original goal due to its bias towards such an intriguing creature. Such is its nature.

Origin of Species

Meta? How so? I'm just going for something bizarre and unlike the other entities already created. It'll make a bit more sense later I suppose. It'd be a lot like a virus, kind of, that hijacks the DNA of the cells in other organisms and modifies them so as to reproduce themselves.

Idk, I made the goal so that it's interesting and different, but also tweakable if it doesn't make sense or is the like.

The Prophecy

Sooo. I have no records of I'onriyi's CS and i remember only fragments of it. Like I've entirely forgotten exactly what he looks like, or his exact height/weight.

I still have the name of his staff (and luckily the pic which is uploaded on my deviantart). I remember bits and pieces of his history, his name, his title, and the basic level of his general capabilities (magical, physical, and mental).

Not really sure what to do. I'll probably make a much shorter, truncated/summary, version of his original CS. So yeah *sighs*

Origin of Species

Pretty sure yeah.

Origin of Species

Pretty sure it's perpetually open :)
