User blog comment:Sainami/Ame's Evolution – Jinchuuriki and Tailed Beasts/@comment-951734-20140112214306


 * Initiate the Tailed Beast's name: Kokuō, the Five-Tails
 * Is your Jinchūriki affiliated to a village? (If yes, please add to who): Formerly Iwagakure, but ever since it fell under Magoseong's control, this is no longer the case.
 * Will your character (eventually) control the beast's power? (Elaborate either if it is yes or no): The relation between Kokuō and its host will be different from the other seen within the series. She will not be able to control him, but he will not rise up against her either. As Kokuō is based on the Chinese King Mu of Zhou, while its host is based on the goddess Xi Wangmu, who was allowed to rule her own land as a vassal in return for a taste of her peaches of immortality according to the legend, their relationship will follow a similar dynamic. Kokuō will lend Seiōbo its power when needed, but only because she has promised to search out its haku (魄, "white soul") or yin part of its soul, while the tamashī (魂, "cloud soul") or yang part of its soul is in her possession. As such, while she does not have any trouble controlling the power of the beast, she does not have access to its full power and cannot do things such as achieving a complete transformation.
 * Explain why you should obtain this beast. What makes your usage different than others?: The Five-Tails was actually captured by Sorane and implanted within its leader, Yūki. However, this was against the beast's will, and when Yūki first attempted to manifest its power the beast managed to split its konpaku (魂魄, "soul") into two components. As the haku stays within the world after death, while the tamashī leaves it, a similar event transpired when Kokuō severed its soul. The tamashī, being composed of pure, sought out balance and thus the strongest source of he could find. Seiōbo, whose inspiration was known as "a powerful, independent deity representing the ultimate yin controlling immortality and the afterlife" and who also has these reflected in her character, became the most logical choice. When she was confronted with the beast, she agreed to become its host on the condition of reclaiming the other half of its soul because of the various developments that were transpiring within . Because Seiōbo is not a combat-oriented character, she will be using the beast abilities as her primal way of battle, but on the other hand won't be seen in battle that often. Because her other abilities are not really suited to be used in the midst of battle and alongside allies, she will most likely use the chakra tails of the beast to hold back and subdue her opponents through pure force. The strong yang energy her piece of Kokuō holds, in combination with her own mastery of yin, will grant her access to several , though these will differ from other witnessed in the series as they will be more in line with her nature as a spiritual guide rather than serving a purpose in battle.
