by Astaroth Sat Mar 28, 2020 12:26 amBOUGHT AND PAID FOR - Nagato was quite literally clinging to life - the slow steady throb of his heart dulling in his ears. On his tongue was the taste of copper, and the ground showed more of him than dirt. For the Shinobi who refused to accept death, that this was the end, his wish sparked an accord within the Universe and a demon was born. With an offer that Nagato could not refuse.
Past records speak of summoned creatures granting miracles to individuals, but this is a different situation entirely. Instead of arms or legs, Nagato surgically grafted on the spiritual replacements for a heart, intestines and eyes, with some minor touches for his lungs. There have been a number of ramifications for Nagato ever since he sold his body and mind to the figurative devil. The standard contract was completed, in return for the demon's services - Nagato provides him with sustenance and a place to live. Hence, Nagato has had a distinct disregard for his own personal safety, a trait which is in part encouraged by some of the features having a demon instilled inside you. First and foremost, his 'nature' changed from human to 'mixed blood' as soon as the demon and performed the spiritual surgery and implanted herself into Nagato's Circuits.
Additionally, since it has taken over several of Nagato's identity, it has altered him not only on a physical level but a spiritual one as well.
As a result of this fusion between summon and Shinobi - Nagato's Kuchiyose techniques do not require hand seals. But he suffers from a permanent reduction to his chakra reserves, equal to the rank of KEOT, the demon that lives beneath his skin. Nagato must pay the upkeep cost of the demon for each post that KEOT is active.
During non-combat topics, KEOT can be lulled to sleep to prevent the incursion of the chakra upkeep cost. However, if he must be roused from this state, it takes 1 turn for him to do so.
BOUGHT AND PAID FOR PT.2 - as a natural consequence of the unity between the two of them - KEOT is considered to be permanently summoned at all times, even though he may not always show his face. His presence can be detected by sensory abilities, typically presenting akin to pregnancy. KEOT and Nagato cannot be separated by over 100m or they both perish.
Nagato Kobayashi wrote:Contract Name: The Fomorians
Type: Spirit
Specimen: Parasitic
Culture/Lore: A group of antediluvian creatures of questionable origin - and even more questionable intentions. They are currently nomads, fleeing before something they refer to in hushed and frightened tones without directly mentioning the name: lest they summon it from the ether amongst them. At present, they are mere shades of their former glory. A lost relic in the record books of the divine. With the appropriate encouragement and motivation, however, they can be inspired to reach for those old heights.
Element(s): Doton
Designated Skill: Ijutsu
Summoning Method: Materialized from within Nagato's body and unleashed instantaneously - as part of his pact with KEOT.
Requirements: Must be host to a Fomorian.
Drawbacks: Fomorians are creatures of the earth, shapers, creators and makers. They are especially weak to the more primaeval of elements - raiton, taking an additional rank of damage when exposed to it.
Holders: Nagato Koboyashi.
Rank: C
Appearance: If observed by a medical professional, KEOT would present as an emotional cancer cell - containing a mixture of raw emotional expression overlaying malicious intent. At present, he is largely disembodied and gaseous - and tends to prefer refuge within his host to being active within the world as he is not the hardiest individual and prefers to allow his host to shield him from the world.

Description: A technique that transforms the earth surrounding the user into a fluid, allowing them to close in on the enemy with high speed by swimming underground. Since being under the ground is a blind spot, the target has no warning; allowing the user to launch a surprise attack. By using this technique in conjunction with a weapon, it also gains great effect as an "assault ninjutsu."
Weaknesses: The user must have a way of detecting the target or the surface above.
