Rinnegan

1) Is there any particular reason that you, the author, want to achieve the Rinnegan? (Heads up; this is an optional question)

I want to achieve the Rinnegan to offer a more unique take on what the mythology behind the Realms of Desire has hidden within them, to create an unique individual that will portray the purpose and power of the Samsara, of the Six Paths themselves. For me, I could care less about the power of an individual based upon their respective bloodlines, I could attain power in any form I desired, whether it be a master of Genjutsu, or strictly Earth Release, and so on.

The purpose of these rare bloodlines should be to expand upon the beauty that is stored in their stories, connected with the likes of Samsara, Buddhism, and more.

2) What is the name of the character? And will the character belong to any clan?
 * 1) Will you abide to the Canon requirements? If so, please elaborate below how the character has achieved these requirements. (If this does not apply to you, skip to question 4 and continue with question 5)

Ishari. No. And No. Mine is a purely fanon take on this adventure.

3) Will the character awaken it through the terms of Samsara and Buddhism? Or does the character awaken it through different theories? Please detail your answer so detailed as possible.

In terms of Samsara and Buddhism, yes. The result of the Rinnegan's creation is the seeking of balance across the Desire Realm and the entirety of it's Six Paths, and not for the whims of one Realm alone. In essence, my character is not utilizing or attaining the Rinnegan through their own actions, but through the divinity of the Six Paths themselves allocating the required instrument in order to restore true balance to the world.

4) What is the background of the character? How does it support the awakening of the Rinnegan?

My take on the Dojutsu will all the canon requirements and will incur some alterations in order to offer an unique experience for the Rinnegan. The character's name is Ishari (舎利, lit. Bones of a Cremated Enlightened Being).

The Rinnegan is symbolic of many things, of Rebirth, of the world, of the Desire Realms, in each aspect there lies mythology that attributes to the beauty of the Dojutsu itself. The traits I am following is the symbolism of not just the world - but the Desire Realm in it's entirety, the balance that is set in place in order to keep the Wheel of Life flowing properly. In the coming ages, the Human Realm, has earned become disorderly in it's cycle, disrupted by so many throughout the ages. A swelling of power, the chakras of the world while previously in check, balance and kept in play at all times, are no longer there.

The Rinnegan is the gateway to these realms, not just to tap deeper into it's own, but the other paths. In the Wheel, there is each a power, a power in the realms, and for the realm of man, there was the Shinju. The Shinju was an abberation, but it was manifesting the power of it's realm and the others, drawing upon the cycle of rebirth to embody it's strength. The cycle of the world grew out of balance, a magnitude of overwhelming power, the entire realm itself was given form through the chaos that came to be from the consumption of it's power, and thereby, the Rinnegan itself for millenia to come.

For the outside realms, this Dojutsu, the Sage's Eye, was a power capable of being possessed by any of the other paths. It was also capable of being manipulated by Desire Realm itself. The Wheel of Life slipped it's power through the realms, searching for an advocate, ethereal and wandering. It sought a vessel, a creature to house it's power in an attempt to balance out the human plane, not for the realm itself, not to bring power or order - but to restore it's proper place in the cycle of the Six Paths itself, to restore true balance.

Across the fields of battle, a tool was sought, a leftover of demise. It took bits and pieces of those it saw worthy, their residual spiritual energies fueled the Wheel of Life in it's amalgamation. The power swirled in the air, stirring the bare landscape, a hill with many slain, many fallen - the vessel had been found.

A host for the Rinnegan, for the power of the Six Paths - the tool of balance, a being meant to restore true order to the realms itself, and not just the plane it existed in. This person, peeling from his grave, could only draw sharp air as their very being fell into pain and anguish, reincarnated by the realms itself.

An individual with little to no memory, of a forgotten time in which lay order and chaos, of the Warring Eras, a person with but one word stirring inside their head, "Ishari".

5) Which Path will correspond with the Rinnegan that belongs to your character? What are the relevant canon abilities that the character will obtain? Would your character specialize in any specific path Paths? And how will the character utilize these in their own fashion?

My character will be utilizing all but one of the Six Paths, and there is a reasoning for this, read below on answer 7. The primary path that corresponds to my Rinnegan is the Deva Path, the uppermost path, but will focus more on the spirituality of the realm, and retain none of the Deva Path abilities exhibited by Nagato.

The Deva Path would be specialized in due to her affinity and the primary source of her Origin comes from the uppermost part of the Rebirth cycle. In her own fashion, she will portray the creature, and nothing like a human. Lost in a world, a mere ragdoll. The powers will show themselves through the traits of the Devas, the ascended in the Realm of Bliss. The powers she attains can be anything from Light based Jutsu, even akin more to magic, and the likes of illusions, and chakra shaping mastery.

The powers of the Rinnegan itself would be unique to the person themselves, abilities and traits that are based upon the spirituality of each realm. A dead woman baring the eyes of ultimate enlightenment would be a deadly weapon, meant to bruise the evil and oppose unity. Ishari would be used of the Rinnegan, a conduit. In turn, each path would be to Ishari's control, all except the power of the Asura realm itself, which would be extremely dampened due to the cause of this particular set of eyes and their vessel thereof; a failsafe to prevent the rise of power in the plane from it's own residual chakra.

To those around him, Ishari would be a normal person, but to the spiritual eye, it's very being would be as if light passed through Ishari, chakra unhindered by their form, escaping it, fading from it. An aberration in a foreign world.

For their soul and essence is a concept of the Six Paths, it's body a husk formed by the imagination and power of the Rinnegan, the only thing that remains of the human plane is the dust of Ishari's flesh and bone, and the sins of it's former life that earned it the path to spiritual rebirth.

7) If you are planning to create original techniques, please elaborate these below. How are they relevant to the Paths that your character can use?

All of my Paths will more then likely replace all canon abilities and replace them with abilities more strongly attuned to the spiritualism of the realms they are associated with, and less of what Nagato or the likes of Madara showed. (Kaguya included).

Losing the Asura Path is due to the pressure of her status in the celestial wheel, and her role in the Six Paths. She can not be the advocate of death and destruction, but a being to retain balance. Her disconnection with the Asura Realm creates a void, a dark abyss in the being and in the Paths she was formed by. The imbalance shows itself whenever Ishari would attempt to use the Asura Realm, as she did so, she'd be connecting with the void.

This void is the. The realm that exists outside of Rebirth, out of Nirvana, it is a realm in and of itself, in one of un-existence, it prevails and is formless. A place where very few Deva have ever reached, a place where consciousness is not lost, where true enlightenment reaches, and leaves outside of all the other planes.

A place outside of the Wheel of Life, the Dharma.

Her Asura Path would be replaced with this over the course of her existence in the Fanon. She would slowly reach to this realm, and attain traits of it, a darkness, ever creeping, dark and unknowing. A place that is in itself, never meant to escape into reality itself, but now has a conduit in which they can channel their will into.

It opens up a realm of Buddhism and Samsara that is rarely peaked upon, but exists as one of the mysteries regardless. And it is one I am planning to utilize
