First i will note that me and long are collaborating on these characters, which evidences the similarities in the backgrounds.

Is there any particular reason that you, the author, want to achieve the Rinnegan? Honestly my reasoning for this is pretty simple. Almost all the rinnegan usage is exactly the same. sure people may focus on different aspects a bit, but in almost all cases they are simply running variations of the exact same moves. I plan on rectifying this by creating a rinnegan that has abilities not related to the standard abilities used in canon. There has been exactly one rinnegan seen in the series, so it is entirely possible that different rinnegans have different abilities.

'''What is the name of the character? And will the character belong to any clan?'''

Akihiro/Akira Homura (This character changes genders at random after gaining the rinnegan, which will be explained in the app.) He has no clan.

'''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)''' No, this is so far off from canon it isn't even funny.

'''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.'''

Just going to say that this application is as far out of the box as possible. It relies more on conjecture and theory, and a fair bit of Batman Gambitry, than any solid information that has been given in the series. To be simple, the mechanism that my character got his Rinnegan is essentially Izanami and Izanagi via Rinnegan. Now this sounds way the hell out there, but I had an interesting idea on this. The Sharingan is essentially a devolution of the Rinnegan, that itself IS supported by canon. That being said, it should be possible for any abilities that the Sharingan can use can be used by the Rinnegan for greater effect.

Izanami decides one's fate, while Izanagi can rewrite one's fate. Normally, both cause the eye involved to lose its sight forever. That being said, the sage was powerful enough that it is entirely possible that they could have been reused, as he was essentially a god. My theory is based on that, and that the sage believed in trying to redeem humanity, as evidenced by the thought that he gave everyone chakra so people could connect their hearts and understand each other. After his death, his eyes would arguably be the single most coveted thing on the face of the planet, considering the sheer power he had. That being said, he probably would have planned to location as to where his body was after his death. It would likely be far away from any significant civilization, such as in the mountains. As it was still entirely possible that someone could find his tomb, because he likely would have had a tomb, he would have set up defenses and traps to protect his body.

Back to the idea that he would have preferred to redeem a graverobber instead of outright killing them. My thought for the trap itself is that it used an advanced version of izanami to essentially isolate the thief from history and the cycle of fate. Here the thief would face experiences designed to redeem themselves, or would forever be trapped outside fate's cycle. Once they had found the way out the advanced Izanagi would come into play. It would proceed to write the now changed graverobber back into the world with their experiences intact, allowing them to leave to attempt to change the world for the better, because no matter how far you fall, you can still rise out of the darkness again. The Sage was an idealist who clung to his beliefs stronger than almost anyone. Even in death, he would have done his very best to make the world better for all.

Now is where my character comes in. My character and long's character managed to stumble upon his tomb as children. They then proceeded to activate the trap. However here is where the glitch in the machine occurs. They are children who were not trying to steal from the grave. They had nothing to redeem. This was not something that could have been foresaw by the sage. So the trap whose purpose was to redeem a person so they could make the world a better place found itself unable to do the former, leaving only the latter. They would have been stuck in the advanced form of Izanami for decades, if not centuries. The trap in my character's case sent him into the realm of Abraham, the first of the prophets of the Holy Word of God while it sent Long's Character into the past of ancient Sumeria.

While the Rinnegan may mean Samsara's eye, it does not preclude that it could not be based on one of the other religions. A common theory to relate all the various religions together is that they are all based on worshipping different faces of the same god. This idea would allow for potentially different rinnegans to occur, instead of all of them having the same six base abilities. As all these religions are essentially different sides of the same truth, because no one has all the answers.

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

My character and long's character were two friends without a clan who lived during the warring states period, which stretches back through history for who knows how long. Shortly prior to them finding the Sage's tomb there was a raid by a clan on their village. During the confusion they managed to escape deep into the forest surrounding their village and became lost. After wandering for some time it started to rain and they took shelter in a nearby cave. Long's character eventually started to explore said cave, dragging Akihiro with her as they ventured deeper inside. After several dozen meters it became much more smooth and detailed, eventually revealing that the interior of the of the cave was carefully constructed and laid down. It wasn't merely a cave, it was a tomb. As they ventured even deeper, they eventually came upon a door that was transcribed with a series of concentric circles. Long's character proceeds to touch the door, which activates the trap placed on the floor of the room.

This trap, as explained in the previous section, transports them through space time and removes them entirely from the cycle of fate, trapping them in a void outside creation. The traps purpose was to turn the would be graverobber away from a life of crime and to reform them into a righteous soul before releasing them back into the world. However, Akihiro and his friend were but mere children. They were not there to rob his tomb, they didn't even know it was a tomb. They had simply stumbled upon it by accident. The trap could not foresee this, and it produced what is essentially a glitch in the matrix. Its goal was to reform a thief before sending them back out into the world to make it a better place. However if the former should prove to be impossible, it must accomplish its goal through its secondary purpose alone. However they lacked the power to do that, they had to be forced to grow up while inside the trap. The trap sent them experiences from other realms and ages of the world. He stood by Abraham while he spoke with god, he followed moses across the red sea. Image after image, feeling after feeling it changed him. At first the world was simple and unified, then a man named Jesus of Nazareth came along and the path of the world divided. The two sides fought against each other, and so did the truth they shared. With this fractures started forming within Akihiro's spirit as his truth broke a bit. Then another branch appeared, this time lead by a prophet named Muhammed. The world broke a bit more. These three branches were always fighting, always pitted against each other. Unable to handle this change Akihiro himself became a bit unstable in mind, body, and soul. His gender would start to change at random, and his body an soul would follow. Leading him to know the truth from all perspectives. Once he had learned all there was to learn, the images stopped, and with a sparkle as his eyes begin to match that door he had seen so many lifetimes ago, he was reunited with his friend, whose eye's matched his, and released back into the world in a different age and time.

'''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?'''

None of the paths apply to Akihiro/Akira's Rinnegan. Its abilities are based on the Abrahamic religions instead of the Buddhist forms that are the norm for the Rinnegan. That being said, I am keeping the whole idea of paths in my Rinnegan's abilities, though they will be called Pillars instead. There will be four of these pillars initially, but I may add a 5th later, I haven't decided yet.

They will be known as the Pillar of Heaven, which is a long range/supporting form. It specializes in healing, sealing, long range jutsu, and exorcising/dispelling "evil". it will have primarily light based abilities, as angels were holy and righteous. The form itself will clad him/her in a light set of Golden armor and will grant him 8 pure white wings. Its primary weapon will be a Golden Bow that is made up of two short swords with a string made of chakra that pulls it. This is similar in design to Pit's weapon in Kid Icarus.

The next pillar is the Pillar of Hell. This form is primarily a short range attacking form. It does not have as much versatility as the other forms, but it makes up for that will large gains in speed and overall destructive power. In it Akihiro loses his shirt, though there is still a wrapping for in case he is in his female form, gaining a devilish lower body and eight wings of the Darkest black. He also gains a pair of horns that emerge from just over his ear. Its ability are primarily out and out destructiveness. Hellfire explosions, earthquakes, tornados, darkness, and lots of blood can be expected from this form. Its primary weapons are a pair of jet black pistols, named Hell and Fire, that can combine into a great sword made of a dark red energy. Hell shoots bolts of pure yin energy, and Fire shoots bolts of pure yang energy. Devils have a history of pretending to help a person for their own ends. Having a small increase of yin or yang could help a person by making their body stronger or their life force stronger. If they hit a living being they will proceed to strengthen one of these things. However too much of either can be catastrophic. If they have too much form but not enough life to sustain it your body will fail as your strength can't keep up with it leading you to wither and die. IF you have too much life but not enough form to contain it the body will fail and your life will explode out. It however requires repeated hits in order to pull this off.

The third pillar is the Pillar of Eden, which turns Akihiro into a Nephilim. The Nephilim are beings who are rejected by both heaven and hell because they are a mixture of the two. They represent a balance between the two other pillars. Their form consists of an Angel's breast plate with the lower body of the Devil form. They have 4 wings from each of the other two pillars. The Nephilim, being despised by both heaven and hell, turned to each other for protection. As such this form will specialize in defensive techniques. Barriers, defensive seals, and overall durability and shielding abilities. It would have no weapons to speak of, besides its own body. But since the nephilim also were constantly on the look out for raids from both of their adversaries, they were also naturally good at detecting their enemies. I am planning on giving them a chakra sense in this form, what is essentially a passive chakra sensing technique.

The last pillar is the Pillar of Man. This is the base form that he takes on initially, and is primarily a chakra conserving form. Man kind is generally a jack of all trades. It will have access to the moves of the other 3 branches, albeit they will be significantly, and I mean SIGNIFICANTLY, weaker. However humans have one other thing going for them. They are nigh unpredictable and masters of deceit. This will allow this form to have a significant ability to use genjutsu.

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

I really just combined this question with the previous one, as I am essentially making an entirely new style of Rinnegan, so it made sense to answer the style of moves they have there.

Optional: Additional Information

Akihiro plans on revealing to the world that there is more than a single truth to it. Nearly everything in Naruto is about Buddha and Buddhism. A single aspect of god. For he has many faces and yet the entire world only sees one. My characters goal is to enlighten the world until they see every face for what it is. For only then can it be saved.

Thank you for your time
