Post by Admin on Dec 27, 2022 13:19:12 GMT -6Gama Toads Name: Gama (Toads). Type: Amphibians. Slots:One of the more common summoning types, this family are not known to be careless about who they associate with, but not nearly as keen as some other summoning families, like the Ryuuchishi. Furthermore, because of their incredible variation in size, they allow for all manners of shinobi to bring them forth – from Genin all the way to powerful Jounin. Even so, only five shinobi may possess this contract at any given time.1. Kekkai, Nendai. 2. 3. 4. 5. Origins:Gama reside on the legendary Mount Myouboku. Mount Myouboku, literally meaning Mysterious Tree Mountain, is a sacred place of the land of toads, where all summoning toads live. For a human to get to Mount Myouboku, it either takes a month long travel on secret paths from Konohagakure or, if they have a summoning contract, they can let a toad use the Reverse Summoning Technique. According to legends, it is impossible to find the mountain by foot for those who don’t know the secret route. History:Gama are considered to be one of the oldest summoning families in existence, next to the Kyodaija (Giant Snakes) and Gaikou (Gastropods). Together, these three summoning families create a pyramid of intertwined fates; many shinobi operating in teams of three seek one of these families, and in combat, will combined their unique abilities to perform truly devastating combos. Unfortunately, this has not always been successful. There have been millennia of bad blood between the Gama and their natural predators, the Kyodaija. Being friendlier with the Gaikou, they too have sided with the Gama against the overbearing snakes. It takes an incredibly powerful summoner to control the summons’ inclination for war against each other, but even then, skirmishes are likely to form. Racial Breaker — Alkaloid Poisons Description: Like the majority of toads (namely true toads), Gama possess a pair of parotoid glands in\on their body. These glands contain alkaloid poison which the Gama are able to excrete on command. The poison in the glands contains a number of toxins causing different effects upon contact with one’s person, the most notable of which are: nausea, hallucination, and mild-paralysis (halved movement speed and agility); these effects last for a total of five posts. JUNIORS Name: Gamatatsu. Classification: Junior. Rank: D. Chakra Consumption: Mid. Statistics: Offense (0). Defense (0). Speed (1); High. Description: Gamatatsu is predominantly yellow in color, with orange markings around his eyes and mouth. He also has two markings curving inwards on his stomach. He is a fairly small toad, capable of sitting on a person’s head, and noticeably quick because of it. Like his brother, Gamakichi, he sports a blue vest. Shrink Type: Supplementary. Cost: Low. Description: Gamatatsu has the ability to shrink his body, making him perfect for reconnaissance and infiltration missions.

Statistics: Offense (1). Defense (0). Speed (0). High Description: Gamakichi is a bright orange toad with purple markings around his eyes, mouth and stomach. Despite his small size, he is somewhat bulkier than his sibling, and thus while he is stronger, is also slower. Like his brother, he can easily and comfortably fit on top of someone’s head. Like his brother, he sports a blue vest. Shrink Type: Supplementary. Cost: Low. Description: Gamatatsu has the ability to shrink his body, making him perfect for reconnaissance and infiltration missions.

Description: Like most toads, Gamakichi can also project a small gout of oil (no larger than a person’s torso) up to three meters from his person. Fire Release: Flame Bullet Type: Offensive. Cost: Mid. Description: After gathering the necessary chakra in his mouth, molding it into katon, Gamakichi can then fire off a large bullet of fire (no larger than a basketball) at his target. He retains excellent precision up to five meters away. SENIORS Name: Gamariki. Classification: Senior. Rank: C. Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid. Statistics: Offense (1). Defense (2). Speed (1); High. Description: Gamariki is light green in color with purple eyes and yellow patterns all over his body. He wears a large, red-violet bow on his back and make-up which includes: red lipstick, punk blush on his cheeks and eye-liner. All this gives him an effeminate appearance, making him the toad equivalent to a drag queen. Curiously, he more closely resembles a frog rather than a toad. Gamariki only stands slightly taller than a fully matured adult. Water Release: Water Gun Type: Offensive. Cost: Mid. Description: By channeling chakra into his mouth, Gamariki can accurately expel a powerful stream of water from his mouth up to a maximum of fifteen meters away. By introducing another’s fuuton-based chakra into the matter (via touching and channeling it into Gamariki), the stream can dice the target into finel-cut squares. Kiss of Stars Type: Offensive. Cost: Mid. Description: By kissing his target, Gamariki can trap the victim in a powerful Genjutsu. Victims of this technique will hallucinate, see things they normally wouldn’t, and be unable to discern the real from fantasy. Name: Gamaken. Classification: S. Rank: Senior. Chakra Consumption: x2 High. Statistics: Offense (4). Defense (4). Speed (3); x2 Massive. Description: Gamaken is a giant magenta-colored toad with black markings on his face, arms and legs, with horn-like protrusions on his head. He is as big as Gamabunta, and towers over most buildings (except for the massive skyscrapers in Amegakure, which dwarfed even other summons), trees and large rock formations. He wears a black kimono with a white sash and mesh armor underneath. He keeps a sakazuki-like shield wrapped around his back and his sasumata in his hand. Skazuki Shield (Saucer Shield) Rank: A. Typle: Defense. Limit: 1. Description: This large shield is generally in the shape of a saucer, much like you would find in a sake set. Incredibly durable, due to its size and make, this shield is capable of withstanding up to ten [10] assaults from jutsu of a-rank and below, and twenty [20] strikes from traditional forces. Sasumata (Spear Fork) Rank: A. Type: Offense. Limit: 1. Description: This large two-pronged spear fork is an excellent blunt force weapon, as well as a pinching weapon to bind a target in place, usually by the throat. The small studs located along the “horns” of the weapon increase the blunt damage it is capable of dealing. Name: Gamahiro. Classification: Senior. Rank: S. Chakra Consumption: x2 High. Statistics: Offense (5). Defense (2). Speed (3); x2 Massive. Description: Gamahiro is a huge toad, easily towering over buildings and trees. He has aquamarine skin tone and yellow eyes, with grey markings around them, and two distinct, circular markings on his shoulders. He also carries two huge katana’s on his back, which are his main weapons. He sports an orange sash around his stomach. Katana Rank: C. Type: Primary. Description: Commonly referred to as a 'Samurai sword', the katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade up to three feet in length, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. As such, it has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability. Cost: 5,000 ryo. Name: Gamabunta. Classification: Senior. Rank: S. Chakra Consumption: Massive. Statistics: Offense (5). Defense (5). Speed (4); x5 Massive. Description: As one of the largest toads in the order, Gamabunta easily towers over trees, dwarfs most large rock formations, and is larger than most buildings. His size is comparable to the gargantuan tailed-beasts like Shukaku and Kurama, with him being as large as the Kurama’s entire torso. He is colored a dull, rusty red, but around his eyes and on his lips and chest are brighter red markings. Over his left eye, he received a long, jagged scar at some point. His tongue has a series of stud-like piercings both on the upper and lower side. He often wears a large, blue happi vest that has the kanji for ebi on the back, and always carries a massive dosu blade at his hip. He also carries a large kiseru pipe which he often smokes. Tanto Rank: C. Type: Primary. Description: The tanto is a single or double-edged straight knife no longer than fifteen inches. The tano was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well. Cost: 5,000 ryo. Techniques Master of Kenjutsu Type: Supplementary. Cost: Low. Description: Gamabunta is one of the few toads that actually prefer hand to hand combat, rather than relying on Ninjutsu. Because of this, he is capable of exercising any kenjutsu technique of b-rank and below for a reduced cost! Water Release: Gunshot Type: Offense. Cost: High. Description: A water release user, Gamabunta is able to perform many suiton-based techniques on a much larger scale. This is one of his favored, and without seals, he may form a large mass of water in his mouth which he can then accurately fire up to fifty meters away. This water explodes upon contact, dealing a great amount of force to all objects within twenty-five meters of the point of contact and flooding said area, as well. Water Release: Steel Cutter Type: Offensive. Cost: x2 High. Description: Rather than firing off a standard suiton projectile, Gamabunta is able to expel a high-pressure jet of water at extreme speeds. By pursing his lips, he can increase the intensity to the point where the stream – able to reach lengths of up to sixty meters – can cut through stone, steel, and anything of less durability. Due to the size of the stream, this technique is excellent for cutting down large obstructions and enemies. Toad Oil Tsunami Type: Supplementary. Cost: High. Description: Considering his side, Gamabunta is able to expel far more oil than regularly from his gullet. The oil may be leaked out much like a waterfall, however, Gamabunta is able to shoot a powerful pillar of oil from his mouth; this oil stream can be fired up to forty meters away, and is nearly as thick around as Gamabunta, himself. Toad Sword Beheading Type: Offense. Cost: - Description: This is a technique that only a toad can use, and said to be developed by Gamabunta. Employing its characteristic bodily features, using its strong hips and legs, the toad gives birth to an uncommonly precise leap, with which it slices at its target. Since the interval is covered in the blink of an eye, the opponent generally can’t escape in time to avoid all of the damage. SAGE Name: Shima. Classification: Sage. Rank: S. Chakra Consumption: Massive. Statistics: Offense (3). Defense (3). Speed (3); x7 Massive. Description: Shima has a green underside with purple markings around her mouth and the back of her body. The top of her head looks as though she is wearing a hair net with hair-rollers underneath, giving her an 'old woman' look. She has been seen wearing two types of capes: a high-collared one and a simpler one. She is a very small toad, able to comfortably fit on a person’s shoulder, yet still possesses immense power. She represents one half of the Nidaisengama, or Two Great Sage Toads, with the other half being her husband, Fukasaku. Senjutsu (Sage Arts) Type: Supplementary. Cost: - Description: As one of the disciplines of the Great Toad Sage, Shima has learned to harness the powerful energy of the world around her. This allows her to access all of the benefits of Sage Mode, be it for her speed, strength, or durability. Of course, all restrictions pertaining to Sage Mode apply to her, as well. Senjutsu: Ryousei no Jutsu (Sage Art: Amphibian Technique) Type: Supplementary. Cost: Massive. Description: This technique is used by Shima and her husband, Fukasaku, to simultaneously fuse with a Senjutsu practitioner. It maximizes the sage chakra for the person they are fused to and allows them to access Sage Mode for longer periods of time. By fusing themselves at the user’s shoulders, they are able to gather sage chakra (staying perfectly still) while the user is on the move, eliminating the weakness of exhausting all of their natural energy. Note: This technique effectively doubles the user’s sage mode duration. This cannot be used by character also possessing a bijuu, as the tailed-beast’s chakra will reject the fusing process. Furthermore, this technique requires Fukasaku as well. Zessenbaku (Fighting Tongue Bind) Type: Offensive. Cost: High to cast, Mid to sustain. Description: After focusing chakra into her tongue, Shima can grow to its maximum limit of nearly twenty meters. Reshaped with a face, razor-sharp teeth and fine slits for a nose, the tongue can then seek out a target using an incredibly powerful sense of smell. When the target is found, she ensnares it to prevent escape and marks it with a corrosive chemical excreted from the many warts along the muscle. She has been shown to be able to restrain and suppress incredibly large summons, suggesting this technique is quite strong. Magen: Gama Rinshou (Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant) Type: Offensive. Cost: x2 Massive. Description: This is a sound-based Genjutsu passed down on Mount Myouboku. It is said to be the most powerful Genjutsu in the toad summoning family’s arsenal. Extremely powerful, it only needs to reach the target’s sense of hearing to be a success. Inside the Genjutsu world, the targets are surrounded from all sides by four toad samurai, with their mind and body completely sealed between their hands in an illusionary cube of water. The four unmoving toads won’t lift the completely binding until the user gives the order. After the enemies have been caught in the Genjutsu, all which is left to do is strike the finishing blow in the real world, with Mount Myouboku’s secret Stone Swords which are driven into the targets’ hearts like a wedge. This technique takes two posts of preparation, where Shima and Fukasaku must remaining signing to synchronize their melodies, thusly giving away their location. Furthermore, due to the strain it puts on the voice, it can only be used once (per thread). Elemental Stream Type: Supplementary. Cost: x2 Mid. Description: Shima is able to fire off precise streams of either of her two elemental affinities, katon or fuuton, to either impede or strengthen the jutsu of her companions. The streams are fairly small, barely a foot in girth (and a maximum of ten at the “head”), yet reach lengths up to twenty meters. Name: Fukasaku. deltra of gangnam style [googlefont=Montserrat]

Prelude -
When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?
