Seito Techniques

 

6 Principle Types (Kousei):

            + Zoukyou = Enforcement;  allows user to reinforce physical strength or strengthen

                             an object(s).

            + Shikai     = Manipulation; allows user to control living and inanimate objects nearby or

                             in close distance.

            + Henka    = Transformation; allows user to change the properties of his/her essence (ie

                             into a sword or make it really sticky) and can change the properties of objects

                             into that of something else, but not physically (ie making cards as sharp as a

                             scalpel).

            + Juritsu    = Materilization; allows the user transfers his/her essence into a medium

                             making it stronger and more powerful. Medium can then be materialized

                             through user's concentration of essence (ie chains of metal and essence).

            + Housha  = Emission; allows user to project or spread his/her essence and control from

                             a distance.

            + Tokugi    = Specification; all other types and other "powers"

 

Water/Leaf Test for User's Principle Type

-- Fill a wine glass with water and place a leaf on the surface. Then try to concentrate and fill glass with your essence.

-- Based on the results, your principle type can be assessed as:

            => Zoukyou ~ if water begins to overflow and trickle out of glass

            => Shikai     ~ if the leaf that floats on water surface begins to move or vibrate

            => Henka     ~ if chemical make-up of water changes (ie flavor or smell)

            => Juritsu     ~ if crystalline particles are created and begin to cloud up the water

            => Housha    ~ if coloration of water changes from clear to another pigmentation (ie red)

            => Tokugi     ~ if some unknown reaction occurs that is not within the parameters of one

                                of the five events listed with the other principle types

 

Basic Skills:

              ~ Kei       = keeps the essence emitted within the body's circumfrence while keeping it                 

                             constantly flowing around and inside body in a clockwise manner.

              ~ Heisa    = closes all the body's shokos to prevent user's essence from being emitted.                

                             Very useful and efficient when user wants to spy and/or track someone or

                             something.

              ~ Shin      = concentration of essence in a certain body part (ie eyes, fists). When

                             concentrated in fists, punches and strikes become stronger and more

                             powerful. When concentrated in the eyes, user can see the essence of the

                             person hiding it or the surrounding aura of objects enhanced with essence.

              ~ Yokei    = opens all of the user's shokos (pores that emit essence) to emit double the

                             usual amount of essense, causes an overflow.

              ~ Ryou     = special techinique/attack of essence created when user uses a

                             combination of basic Seito skills; follows descriptions of one of the six  

                             principle types that user is.

 

Advanced Skills:

              - Inmen    = higher form of Heisa. When used, user makes his/her essence almost

                             disappear from eyesight but allows it to still be usuable by not closing the

                             shokos completely.

              - Zouen    = used to enhance objects to make them stronger and more powerful,

                             especially for users who combine weapons with their essence to perform

                             attacks.

              - Issai      = a difficult skill to master because it requires  that user to perform Kei, Yokei,

                             Heisa, Shin, and Ryou at same time, combine them and concentrate them

                             into a certain body part or over entire body.

              - Seki      = a more efficient attack skill performed when Kei and Yokei are used at

                             same time and are combined.

              - Gankai   = being able to expand one's essence in order to "feel" anything in its radius,

                             or territory. When you are in the territory of a Gankai user, s/he can detect

                             you no matter your proximity or distance from him/her as well as attack,

                             grapple, kill, or anything else to you. A Gankai user does not need eyesight

                             to detect his/her surroundings. Largest territory was 50 m in radius.
