Board Thread:Rebirth: Applications/@comment-2001574-20141015214903

Following some insinuating circumstances, I have decided to rework my app and figured I'd make a new app instead.

1: Why are you pursuing reincarnation?


 * I had pursued reincarnation in the past, having used it for Kisui from inspiration thanks to a comment from one of the users on here. I figured I'd apply for it to get him ready for the reborn Fanon Canon.

'''2: Who is being reincarnated? And who is their reincarnation? (If this a fanon character or deity, who isn’t important enough to have a page, describe them briefly here, their powers and capabilities).'''


 * Hagoromo, and the reincarnation is Kisui Iyoku

'''3: How has this reincarnation happened? Why do they exist?'''


 * Most of it has been placed in question four, but to shorten it, Hagoromo had went through many different potential people to reincarnate from, but they didn't quite have that spark, that potential to do something big. He saw something in who would become Kisui, manifesting himself into Kisui shortly before his birth, watching over him silently as his energy and spirit lied dormant within Kisui's.

4: What is the background of said reincarnation?


 * Hagoromo has always watched many people over the centuries, seeing who might be worthy and who would not. Though there were a lot of potential individuals he had in mind, they didn't quite have that spark that he saw in Kisui. He saw something in Kisui that felt he was worthy of his soul and energy. Though to be on the sure side, he kept his energy dormant, watching over Kisui like a silent guardian. Every action Kisui took was under Hagoromo's watchful eye. For years, he saw Kisui do good things, but he also saw just how much conflict was in his soul. He was concerned the hidden anger in Kisui's soul would take over, but he saw those fears coming to rest thanks to the guidance of the spirit of the ancient samurai. Though he didn't approve much of the samurai's methods, he saw how much the spirit was able to guide Kisui. Over the years that past, he saw Kisui change for the better, seeing ease within his soul.

But then Kisui's soul was once again under heavy distress. Having been marked as a target by Kumogakure, Kisui felt unease once more and Hagoromo could feel it within his soul. He was concerned Kisui would do something brash, but he still kept an eye out. Over time, he saw the anger in Kisui's soul turn to anguish and pain, but the anger was there as well, having felt betrayed by the village Kisui once called home. After months of anguish, he saw Kisui do something that made Hagoromo completely sure he made the right choice in going to Kisui. He saw him undergo the trial of the Arihant, an ancient journey meant to help those with strong souls vanquish the anguish that plagues their spirits. For the equivalent of many days, Hagoromo watched over Kisui, experiencing in his eyes the pain of going through all of Kisui's worries in the world. It was when he saw him at the final leg of his journey, Kumogakure, that he saw Kisui in grave danger.

Those whose spirits die while in the Arihant's trials also die in the real world, their body and soul linked to their very life. As he saw Kisui trying to fight back, he noticed that the people weren't attacking out of anger, but out of mercy, thinking that Kisui wanted to be killed. They saw him fighting back as a sign that he wanted to go out swinging, as they always say. It was then Hagoromo knew he had to get involved. He told him to stop fighting back against the people, and, with a little bit of skepticism, Kisui complied. The people stopped trying to fight him and stepped back. Hagoromo was right. The moment Kisui stopped fighting, they realized he didn't want to fight them. After the trials were complete, he appeared before Kisui, telling him that when he awakens from his trance, he will have no memory of who he is for a short time and that he will experience pain like he had never felt before. With that said, Hagoromo snapped his fingers, awakening Kisui from his trance.

'''5: What are the special abilities created due to the reincarnation occurring? (Such as Hashirama’s Wood Release, or Madara’s meteors and Uchiha prowess).'''


 * Kisui gained the Rinnegan from the reincarnation, though he only managed to awaken two Paths initially out of it, awakening the others over time.

'''6: How is your reincarnation unique? And not a rehash of canon or fanon ones?'''


 * I feel it's unique because not only does he have the Rinnegan, but he also has Hagoromo's spirit and energy. For those who know, Kisui has two other spirits as well. These spirits, though often conflicting with each other due to their equally conflicting views of the world, give him great advice on what he should so. Though, more often than not, he finds himself in the middle of their arguments trying to find a solution that best benefits all three spirits; His own, the ancient samurai's, and Hagoromo's.

1. Please indicate which of the following dōjutsu you are applying for.


 * Rinnegan

'''2. How will your character awaken this dōjutsu? Do they meet all the canon requirements? How so?'''


 * Every night since Kisui was born, he saw visions in his sleep; Visions of a young man with pale red hair and striking eyes showing the world the concept of Ninshuu. Every time he dreamed of it, he dreamed he was that man. They were dreams that he witnessed all his life, but couldn't put them into words. Every dream was of him as the same man, doing all sorts of different things, things not even the ancient spirit within him could put into words. When he fled to Sunagakure after Kumogakure placed a large bounty on his head for leaving the village with a powerful technique, his negative emotions began to slowly build up, sort of dragging him back to his old ways. After months of the negative emotions, he felt tired of them, and began seeking out ways to abolish the anguish in his soul. He embarked on a journey of self discovery, a journey to fight his negative emotions; The path of the Arihant. Kisui had did a lot of studying on these individuals, said to have fought their deepest anguishes to awaken a new path for them to follow. This was what Kisui decided to do. As per the ritual standards, Kisui set up a meditation zone meant to induce a trance-like state, to peer deep into his soul and vanquish his dark emotions.

Kisui found himself in a dark zone, little light around his surroundings; He was peering into the darkness of his soul, all the negative emotions that weighed him down. The biggest images that came to mind were everything Kisui looked at with great concern; The countries at war, Kumogakure abolishing him from the village, and what hit him hardest, was looking at Suzume, his longest friend. He always worried greatly about what might have become of her and it was one of the things that weighed heavily on his soul. The trial of the Arihant had begun. What seemed like long, grueling days, Kisui traversed through his anguish, his anger, his fear, looking to finally find peace. It was a painful journey, oftentimes being forced to fight through. As he made his way through Kumogakure, he found himself in a spiritual representation of the village, everyone setting their gaze upon him, even his sister. They all looked upon him with disdain, as if they were looking at the Ten Tails itself. They all attacked, all of them without mercy, even Suzume and Shinzui. Kisui fought back, but every time he did, he found himself being pushed further and further into the dark. Kumogakure had vanished from his eyes, but the villagers pushed on their attack. For what seemed like hours, Kisui kept fighting through, not making any progress.

It was then, he heard a voice, one that was ancient, wise. He didn't know where it came from, but the voice told him one thing; Don't fight it. Kisui was skeptical about letting his guard down, but for some reason, he felt like he could believe what the voice was saying. Letting down his arms, he knelt down to the ground, as if he was letting them prepare a finishing blow. In that instant, everyone stopped their assault, as if they were looking at the embodiment of mercy. As they looked down upon Kisui, they saw the pain he was going through. They began relinquishing their weapons and all stepped back, all except Suzume. Kisui looked up, worried that she was still angry, but he was wrong; He saw her smiling, as if she was proud of what he had done. Looking down at the ground, he saw light returning. He saw more than just Kumogakure, he saw the entire world coming back to light. After the spiritual equivalent of days trying to combat the pain in his soul, Kisui was victorious. He had finally vanquished the darkness on his soul, his ascendency to Arihant complete.

It was there he saw a figure, one with pale red hair, some of it starting to show signs of greying, striking eyes and a long beard. He was hovering on several, black spheres and held loosely onto a staff. It was here he knew he was looking at Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki himself. He wondered if he was the voice he had heard, and Hagoromo nodded his head in agreement. It was here, the Sage revealed that all throughout Kisui's life, Hagoromo watched over him, observing everything he did. He saw the good paths he took, and the bad paths. Hagoromo was concerned that Kisui's soul was becoming dark, and had questioned if he was right in choosing Kisui as his reincarnation. But watching him take on the trial of the Arihant disproved any doubt in Hagoromo's mind, and he knew he made the right decision. Hagoromo told him when he wakes up, he won't remember who he is for a time, not until the Sage's memories and energy completely merged with Kisui's. Letting out a sigh of content, Kisui nodded his head. As he raised his head, he saw Hagoromo moving his hand up, snapping his fingers.

The moment Kisui woke up, he felt intense agony, pain he had never experienced before. His eyes were under so much pain, all he could see was pure white. He screamed in agony as the pain pulsated through his entire body, leaving it completely numb. It got to the point where one of his neighbors heard him screaming and rushed over immediately. She was shocked at Kisui's transformation; His skin was pale, his body weak, his eyes aching as if they were trying to change, but couldn't. She called for aid to rush him to Sunagakure's medical center, where he was bedridden for days, his body too weak to move. After four days, Kisui woke up and got out of bed; It was around three o'clock in the morning. As he walked up to a mirror in the room, he couldn't recognize himself. All he saw was a stranger with strange eyes, a man without a name.

For days, he wandered Sunagakure, seeing people he once knew being nothing but a blur in his memory. Day in and day out, it was the same thing; Not knowing who he was and still dealing with the bodily spasms. After two weeks, his memory slowly started coming back and the bodily spasms had ceased; His body finally accepted the Sage's energy into Kisui's energy. The more he walked through Sunagakure, the more his memory began to recover. Eventually, he finally remembered who he was; Kisui Iyoku; The man who once called Kumogakure his home. Now, Sunagakure was his new home, and he realized he was Hagoromo's reincarnation. Finally, his memories bonded with Hagoromo's, and he began seeing what the Sage once did in his life, as if he lived those memories himself. Finally, his chakra accepted Hagoromo's chakra, and his body's reincarnated transformation was complete. Hagoromo was finally able to speak to him once again whenever he needed help.

During this time, Hagoromo's spirit began teaching him how to tap into the Sage's power. Over time, Kisui pulled from Hagoromo's energies, pulling more and more with each session. For months, he would slowly pull energy a little bit at a time, with Hagoromo telling him stories of his past, the things he accomplished. Hagoromo believed one day, Kisui too, will change the world. He just needed a push in the right direction. Hagoromo allowed Kisui to pull on his energy for this purpose. As months turned by to a year, Kisui finally pulled enough energy to finally be able to draw on Hagoromo's Rinnegan. The changes were initially extremely painful, his eyes not ready for such a drastic change. As the eyes began to deepen into purple, the concentric circles slowly drew themselves out. Kisui likened the experience to "Acid being poured into my eyes while someone took a kunai to slowly carve the circles." Though despite the pain, Kisui realized it was nothing compared to what he experienced shortly after awakening the Sage's energy. Regardless, the transformation was complete, and the Rinnegan was awakened. Kisui felt his purpose was finally realized; He needed to bring peace to the world, and he knew just where to start.

'''3. Briefly detail what your plans are, at the moment, for your character if he/she is approved for the selected dōjutsu? What will they do with it? How will they improve or utilize it in a fashion that is unique to them, rather than a rehash of canon character usage or maybe even other fanon characters?'''


 * Well, a lot of what he's going to do with the Rinnegan is already on his page, but to put it simply, his usage of the Rinnegan is unique in that he manages not only to use it in a way that's unique to him, but also manages to find a plethora of non-combat applications he can use his Rinnegan for. I'm looking to begin putting a lot of emphasis in Kisui coming to terms with the Rinnegan's energy, how it could be used to bring about a campaign of peace instead of war.
