Seal Name: The Iron Hand of O-Yamatsumi
Wearer: Zentai,Katsumi
Rank: B-A
Appearance: A collection of seals that all run in circular patterns. Within each seal is a complex mark which looks much like the three marks of the sharingan, much closer in space mimicing the three Shinto marks. Each seal is balanced with lines that run in counter directions of one another. The seals are also covered and outlined with an older dialect of writing in a star-like pattern (1 long section of writing in each cardinal direction and inbetween each line is a smaller section). The writing also extends in curves that run along the eadges of the other markings. In total there are 40 circular markings, each one slightly different than the other. When viewed together, the seals appear to be turning slowly like a clock.
Location of Seal: The seals are located on the inside of both forearms, 5 in total on each, and the remaining 30 are located on the left arm, left side of the rib cage, left upper back, and left shoulder.
Positive Effects:These combination seals allow Katsumi to bring forth a set of chains from either his forearms, or a single chain from the seal located on his back. A maxium of 6 can be summoned from the forearms and a single chain from the back. Both sets can not be used at once. The seals do not need blood to be activated, rather the precise placement of the user's chakra. The sets of chain from his forearms can either have a three pronged kunai, a weighted end, or simply remain as a basic chain length. The chain lengths run the standard smithing size, allowing for some gap inbetween the lengths, but not enough for a finger to fit. The set of chains from the forearms can bring forth 3 chains per arm, and can vary in length (5m to 15m). The chains can be detached at anytime, and in that case either turn into a plume of white smoke or remain as they were summoned. The chain is made of a light weight metal, which resembles the look of iron, but not its weight. It also retains a much higher melting point than iron. The chains can be summoned in pre-set posistions, such as: wrapped around the forearms, with the end link set in the user's hand. The chains can remain attached to the user's body allowing for the length to increase. The seal located on the back can only summon one chain, which is thicker than the standard chain, and is always preset to wrap from the back to around the user's right shoulder and right arm until it wraps around the base and bottom portion of the user's arm where it hangs slightly. The chain always runs taught to the user's skin, same for the chains summoned from the forearms.
Negative Effects: The use of the chains is limited to time intervials. The summoning process can not accur within one post of each other (Ex: The forearm chain sets are summoned together, 6 in total, meaning the chain from the seal located on Katsumi's back can not be summoned until the other chains are disengaged and until the next post). Once summoned, a chain must remain as is for a post before being dismissed, unless it is detached from the user (once detached the user must wait another post before repeating a summon). The chain can never shorten in length once summoned, only extend in length. 5% of the user's chakra is used per summon regardless of the number summoned. If repeatedly used it grows to 10%. Within a single post 2 sets of chains can be summoned and disengaged. All 6 chains can be summoned at their lowest length, and as the length extends of two or less chains the other chains are dissapated.
Transformation Effect:--
Seal Info: These combination seals were given to Katsumi by his grandfather who obtained them from his great-granduncle. The seals are used with a set if taijutsu that calls on the use of fuujutsu, along with a particular set kenjutsu that is only taught by a select monkey-nin clan. The seals are particular to each user, as their size and appearence change with each barer. At the age of 16, the seals of O-Yamatsumi were transferred through a sealing ritual to the young Katsumi. As he grew he learned that the seals worked together rather than seperately like most. The timing for this particular set is extremely tricky, but onced mastered allow for an almost instantanious summon of the selected weapons. The seals are said to desend from the first valcano, from the 1st of the 8 mountain Shinto god's O-Yamatsumi. Legend has it that the metal is one of the hardest metals seen in the ninja world.

Everything looks fine here. Approved unless said otherwise.

Unapproved.

All 6 chains can be summoned at their lowest length, and as the length extends of two or less chains the other chains are dissipated.

Is each of the 40 seals able to summon a chain?

There needs to be a set max amount of chains summoned at once in total as well as max chains summoned at once per body part.

Chains summoned in preset positions cannot be in contact with another RP or an item of another RPs, only on the user itself.

Needs Max Distance for chains need to be lowered by far.

All time intervals need to be in posts, word count isnt an applicable time interval.

Each of the seals isn't able to summon a chain, it's obviously posted that they don't. I'll edit the chain's length. The time interval is given in exact time, and word count. If either aren't acceptable then how would you want me to measure the time interval. At once 6 can be summoned all from the forearm, or the one from the back. It can not be both. The 6 summoned from the forearm are 5 meters in length and as one increases in the length the others must be "removed". Edited.

I'm sure there aren't any complaints again. Approved.

Given that there is no set time interval in fights and it varies depending on the situations, the time needs to be measured in post count and not seconds or word count.

LaD, I'm sure you have some idea of what I'm hinting at with this application and the time measurements used. No need to further instruct a well-seasoned rp'er, though thanks for your input, I'll think about it for future use.

King, Im sure as someone who is not member of the staff, you must realize that it is ultimately my decision whether the time measurements are acceptable. Furthermore, the post count for time intervals is enforced on everyone on the sites and the sites previous, 'well-seasoned' rp'er or not. Furthermore, as a 'well-seasoned rp'er' you shouldn't need much instructing on what is applicable or not. Additionally a 'well-seasoned rp'er' should know that is it is staff decision whether or not this is approved. My 'input' is what needed to be changed and still needs to be changed. It will be 'thought about' and used for this and all future time intervals.

A staff member telling you what to do, and you are refusing to make the necessary changes. There are no time intervals in posts. A a well seasoned Rper, as you put it, you should not be making such a noobish mistake nor explanation in regards to this. Either change it to post duration, remove it completely, or have this application archived. The choice is yours, and there is no choice D.

Thank you, have a nice day.

'Noobish mistake', I see... Well, I see that it is quite easy for such a foolish person to make such a high and mighty secretary frustrated just by questioning his method of time measurement. The changes were made, and if you look at the post you would have seen that, but again you're all in the right here, as I'm sure you're well aware.

'Thank you';'have a nice day'.
Thank you, and have a nice day.

Chill bros! Lol! I got this, and apparently instead of seconds just give a number of times it can be performed in rapid succession per post, or something like that. They need post value for other reasons.

Changes were made? Oh look nope Try again I still see seconds and word counts. and I clearly said

Again, it's posted. "Within a single post or 500 words of action or seconds previously stated only a single set of chains can be summoned and disengaged." But I'll listen to the owner.

Thank you; have a nice day.

Okay. I'll lay this out simply. -All- of the second counts need to be changed into post counts.

Okay, I'm going to lay this out, just for future reference... As uniform and simple as it is, post count can easily be manipulated and then opens up an entire problem that doesn't need to exist. Seconds within the the context of a post are managed by someone like yourself, and means a lot less can manipulated through post count. Just a suggestion to understand that I'm trying to help you regulate something that has never been done before.

Approved.
