Ototon- Sound

[Wolfy]

Ototon, or 'Sound Release', involves the creation and manipulation of sound waves in order to produce either an adverse effect on the opponent, or a beneficial one on the user. By utilizing their chakra, the user may alter the frequency of sound waves to the point different lengths can induce different effects, Due to its lack of physical substance, Ototon is more of a supplementary and offensive release, effective at short to medium range.

Restrictions

[/font][/b] The Sound Release is only available to Ninjutsu\Genjutsu primary characters.


2. For characters who already have their three release slots filled, they will be able to swap one for the Sound Release (no revamp required) should their character go blind, for whatever reason, ICly. But, we will not be allowing random crap to pass; it needs to be done very well, and with purpose.

However, being as how sound is relatively unique in its entirety, players will be able to keep all three of their elemental slots and simply tack Sound on (as a special Kekkei Touta, i.e a special "fourth" element) at the cost of doubling the EXP requirement for all of the techniques in this tree.

On the other hand, should a user not desire the entire Sound Release, but wish to play a blind character (for flavor), they will be able to purchase the Buraindo (Sightless) technique for 600 EXP (SS rank worth). This means that it is the only technique they are allowed to have, and will be unable to obtain the Masteries for this tree.

MASTERY

[/b] By increasing the potency of the vibrations in their sound jutsu, the users have learned to yield more devastating effects. More useful when paired with their sound-based projectiles, this first mastery allows the user to deal substantially more damage with all of their offensive-based Oto jutsu, to which victims struck by it will suffer a 50% performance loss for the remainder of the thread.


-Tier Two - My Voice, My Roar: There are many techniques in the Sound tree which, unfortunately, threaten to deal a decent amount of damage back to the user should they excede the limitations set forth. However, focusing with an even greater intensity, there have been a handful of users that have learned to bypass these drawbacks. Upon obtaining this level of mastery, all cooldowns are effectively removed from sound based jutsu possessing them; this includes "once per thread" limitations, as well.


-Tier Three - Seihei Buraindo: Also known as True Sightless, this represents the user's absolute mastery of their exceptional sense of sound. It is no secret that the user of such a technique possess one major weakness: incredibly high-pitched (sharp), or very loud sounds. However, with enough training, the user has learned to dampen the effects these noises have on their "unnatural vision," which, in some cases allow them to go completely unhindered. This level of mastery allows the user to retain absolute immunity to the aforementioned noises, so long as they are not within two meters of the noise's origins.
