SHARINGAN

Basic Information

The Sharingan is a dōjutsu (Ocular Technique) kekkei genkai, which appears in some members of the Uchiha Clan. It is feared throughout the land by various aliases such as the Copy Wheel Eye, Mirroring Eye, or Heaven's Eye. The moment that an Uchiha comes to know a powerful emotion towards someone, such as love and friendship, a stressful or emotional condition brought out from losing that precious person causes the brain to release a special form of chakra that affects the optic nerves while transforming the eyes into Sharingan. After its initial activation, the Sharingan may be used freely, although it is possible for an Uchiha to lose memory of such an event and not reactivate it until through willpower years later. Thus, the Sharingan can only be awakened by the user for the first time when they are faced with a difficult circumstance or placed under emotional stress. When activated, the iris takes on a red hue and tomoe appear around the central pupil. The number of these vary from user to user upon awakening the Sharingan.

Abilities

The Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: the "Eye of Insight" and the "Eye of Hypnotism". Each ability can be classified under one of these parts.

Eye of Insight

The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see chakra flow. The Sharingan itself gives color to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate between different types of chakra. They are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular.



• The user is able to see chakra in various colors and distinguish between different types, including elemental chakra.
  
• If the user is not familiar with a certain type of chakra, such as an advanced nature via a kekkei genkai, they will not be able to identify the chakra despite being able to see a color.
  


The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements with practice or mimic something like pencil movements. As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects allowing the user to see the an attacker's next move more clearly from the slightest muscle tension in their body. Thus, reacting via a counter-attack or dodge can be done without any wasted movement. However, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react.



• As the user's Sharingan gains more tomoe, their visual perception enhances.
  
  
  
  • At the Awakening (One-Tomoe, both eyes) the user may only track projectiles in a clear manner.
    
  • At the Advanced Stage (Two-Tomoe, both eyes) the user may track large targets, such as people, traveling at great speed.
    
  • At the Mature (Three-Tomoe, both eyes) stage the user may track objects traveling via methods of technique or enhancement, such as the Body Flicker, etc.
    
  
  
  
  
  
• It is important to note that even though the user may be able to see movement and attacks with such clarity, their body CANNOT always dodge said attacks and movement.
  
• Some techniques may still cause a target's movement be untraceable, such as Reverse Summoning Jutsus or ranged teleportation techniques.
  


The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai. This is the final ability that falls under the "Eye of Insight". The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu with great accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own for a short duration. In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. In addition to physical skill and kekkei genkai techniques, the Sharingan cannot reproduce techniques dependent on other factors, such as summons that the user has not signed a contract with.



• The user may copy and utilize techniques during battle, under certain restrictions.
  
  
  
  • The user may not copy any technique used with a kekkei genkai.
    
  • The user may only copy and utilize one(1) technique at a time.
    
  • The user is not able to copy techniques ranked higher than what they could normally utilize.
    
  • The user is not able to permanently learn a technique and add it to the character's arsenal through the utilization of this ability. They would need to meet all requirements of said technique in order to use it as their own, for good.
    
  • The user can utilize basic elemental techniques despite not possessing the nature affinity for a technique.
    
  
  
  
  
  
• The user cannot copy Summoning Jutsu without having also signed the Contract in question.
  

Eye of Hypnotism

The Sharingan's final commonly-used ability is capable of inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact between both parties. As with other genjutsu, those cast by the Sharingan are capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, replaying memories to someone else viathe technique, or creating various illusions to deceive or torture the target. The potency of the Sharingan's illusion is dependent on the user's knowledge and skill with implementing genjutsu. Two Sharingan users are also able to free each other from other forms of genjutsu by first using genjutsu on each other, allowing them to enter their comrades mind and free each other from the illusion.



• The user may cast Genjutsu with their eyes by means of eye contact with the intended target(s).
  
• In RP, the player must clearly state in their post that they are ATTEMPTING eye contact with the opponent.
  
• The opponent cannot always avoid eye contact, just as the player cannot always make eye contact.
  
  
  
  • Until the opponent states In-Character that eye contact has been made, the jutsu cannot be launched. Until that time, the genjutsu in question hangs in a 'Preparing' state until either contact is made or the user decides to 'deactivate' the genjutsu.
    
  • Alternatively, if both players decide that eye contact is made in the circumstance via OOC methods, then the jutsu's effects can be immediately written in by the opponent with input from the casting player.
    
  
  
  

Awakening

The rules and conditions regarding first activating the Sharingan are as follows:

• Only certain ranks may start with an Awakend Sharingan. The Awakened Sharingan will have restrictions placed on it's evolution at start of play. These restrictions are as follows:
  
  
  
  • Students :: No Awakening
    
  • Genin :: Awakening (One-Tomoe, both eyes)
    
  • Chuunin :: Advanced (Two-Tomoe, one eye)
    
  • Jounin :: Mature (Three-Tomoe, both eyes)
    
  
  
  
  
  
• Student-Rank Shinobi and those choosing to start with the Sharingan unawakened must make a training post to awaken the Sharingan. In this manner, the Sharingan will ALWAYS start at the Awakening (One-Tomoe, both eyes) Stage.
  
  
  
  • A training post of 2000 words is required to first awaken the Sharingan and the contents of the post must include the conditions listed in the Basic Information section of this guide.
    
  
  
  
  
  
• Alternatively, the user may awaken the Sharingan in an IC, Main RP confrontation against an opponent, should all parties involved agree upon this.
  
  
  
  • In the above case, the user may only awaken the Sharingan during times of battle that meet the conditions listed in the Basic Information section of this guide.
    
  • The Sharingan may not be awakened at the beginning of the thread.
    
  
  
  

Training

The rules and conditions regarding advancing the Sharingan to it's next stage, are as follows:

• Awakening (One-Tomoe, both eyes)     --> Advanced (Two-Tomoe, one eye) requires a training post consisting of at least 500 words.
  
• Advanced (Two-Tomoe, one eye)         --> Advanced (Two-Tomoe, both eyes) requires a training post consisting of at least 750 words.
  
• Advanced (Two-Tomoe, both eyes)      --> Advanced (Three-Tomoe, one eye) requires a training post consisting of at least 1000 words.
  
• Advanced (Three-Tomoe, one eye)      --> Mature (Three-Tomoe, both eyes) requires a training post consisting of at least 1500 words.
  

One cannot move from one stage to the next in a single post under any circumstances.

MANGEKYō SHARINGAN

Basic Information

The Mangekyō Sharingan, also known as the "heavenly eyes that see the truth of all of creation without obstruction" and the "Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye" is an advanced form of the Sharingan that has only been activated by a handful of Uchiha members. The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened through the trauma experienced from the death of a person very close to the user. With the user normally having to witness or experience this first hand, Uchiha throughout history have killed those closest to them in order to expedite this process. To obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, one must feel the emotion of losing a loved one, as merely killing them or watching them die will not awaken it. It is distinguished from a normal Sharingan by its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from person to person, with all known wielders of the dōjutsu having eyes that resemble variations of pinwheels. Over time, use of the Mangekyō Sharingan's techniques deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness, a harsh fate for those that have grown accustomed to the power and visual acuity it affords. It has been rumored that there are ways or combating and completely reversing this...

Abilities

The Mangekyō Sharingan retains all of the abilities and restrictions granted to the user by the Sharingan and also gains the following abilities and restrictions:

• The user gains access to the two famed jutsu of the Uchiha Clan, which can only be utilized when the Mangekyō Sharingan is active. They are as follows:
  
  
  
  • Amaterasu :: Heavenly Illumination  - A powerful ninjutsu representing the "Material World and Light". Please refer to the Uchiha Clan's jutsu in their Clan Index Entry for more details.
    
  • Tsukuyomi :: Moon Reader - A powerful genjutsu representing the "Spiritual World and Darkness". Please refer to the Uchiha Clan's jutsu in their Clan Index Entry for more details.
    
• Use of Amaterasu is gained through access to an Advanced Chakra Nature granted to the user by the Mangekyō Sharingan; Blaze Release :: Enton
  
  
  
  • This chakra nature can only be utilized when the Mangekyō Sharingan is active.
    
  • This chakra nature takes up a Chakra Nature Slot.
    
  • This chakra nature requires the user to possess the basic natures of Katon :: Fire and Inton :: Yin.
    
• Use of these techniques grants the user great power, but at great cost.
  
  
  
  • Each use of the above techniques causes great strain on the user's eyes and advances the eventual blindness.
    
  • The more chakra that is used with each technique, the more quickly the user's sight will deteriorate.
    
  • As deterioration continues, the abilities of the user become harder to utilize.
    
  • When total blindness sets in, the Mangekyō Sharingan is completely sealed and access to its abilities are lost.
    
  
  

Awakening

The rules and conditions regarding first activating the Mangekyō Sharingan are as follows:

• Only certain ranks of Shinobi may awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, assuming they have met the conditions stated in the Basic Information above.
  
  • Only Shinobi of Chuunin Rank or higher may awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan
    
• No character shall start with the Mangekyō Sharingan awakened without the approval of the NWS Staff and this is only granted under special circumstances.
  
  • The NWS Staff reserves the right to decide and/or change these circumstances without notice.
    
• The Mangekyō Sharingan must be awakened in RP and the above conditions of emotional turmoil, etc must be met in the thread.
  
  • A training post of 1500 words is required to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan and the contents of the post must include the conditions listed in the Basic Information section of this guide.
    
• Alternatively, the user may awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan in an IC, Main RP that utilizes a comrade, should all parties involved agree upon this.
  
  • In the above case, both parties must agree on how the emotion turmoil will be carried out, details regarding the death of the 'sacrifice character', and other such factors.
    
  • The Mangekyō Sharingan may not be awakened unless the Player's overall word count across the thread (their posts only) is equal to 1000 words.

ETERNAL MANGEKYō SHARINGAN

Basic Information

While feared throughout the lands as a very powerful ocular jutsu, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan comes at a great cost. Repetitive use of the abilities granted to the user causes rapid deterioration of the eyes, eroding their vision, and eventually causing blindness. Only by transplanting the eyes of another Uchiha can they hope to regain their sight, and ocular powers. If the transplanted eyes happen to be the Mangekyō Sharingan of an Uchiha with strong blood ties with the recipient — ideally a sibling — the likelihood of compatibility is increased, resulting in the creation of an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. This process takes several days to recover from before eyesight is gained back. However, transplanting the eyes of another Uchiha who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan not only permanently restores the recipient's eyesight, but also bolsters their own ocular power with that of the donor's. This is signified by the intertwined appearance of the user's Mangekyō Sharingan's tomoe seals, with traits of the donor's tomoe merging with those of the eyes' new host. Due to the strict compatibility issues and the Mangekyō Sharingan's rarity, not all are able to gain these benefits by transplanting the eyes of just any Uchiha, which has been the cause of many fruitless sacrifices throughout the clan's history.

Abilities

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan retains all of the abilities and restriction bestowed upon the user by the Mangekyō Sharingan, with the following changes:

• The risk of the Mangekyō Sharingan deteriorating with it's use are no longer a threat.
  
  • The user may freely use the techniques granted to them by the Mangekyō Sharingan, without fear of vision impairment or going blind.
    
  • It is important to note that this does not mean the chakra strain from using said techniques is lifted.
    

Awakening

The rules and conditions regarding acquiring the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan are as follows:

• Only those who possess the Mangekyō Sharingan may obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
  
  • Implanting a user's eyes will not work to bypass awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.
  
  
• Following the conditions stated in the Basic Information section, the user may voluntarily receive donor eyes from various sources:
  
  • Another Player-Character whom they share a close bond with.
    
  • Another Player-Character that is a sibling of the user's character.
    
  • An NPC Sibling of the user's character.
    
  • Any donor must have also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
    
• Alternatively, the user may forcibly take another Player-Character's eyes in combat, assuming all parties involved consent to the fight AND the final decision.
  
  • Taking eyes by force still requires the opponent to have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
