1.Is there any particular reason that you, the author, want to achieve the Rinnegan? (Heads up; this is an optional question) 2. What is the name of the character? And will the character belong to any clan? The name of my character is Kiyasui, she will not belong to any particular clan, as she is from the Warring States Period. 3. 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) 4. 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. '''No, the character will not awaken the Rinnegan through Samsara and Buddhism. Her Rinnegan will stem from the Sumerian mythology, particularly the gods of specific elements such as Enlil (God of Air) and Utu (God of Sun or Fire). Having been trapped in a space-time that was set up by the Sage to protect his tomb from grave-robbing for his eyes, Kiyasui was given a lot of time to think. The trap or void that she and her friend (Dal's Rinnegan character) were stuck in applied a similar theory to how Izanagi and Izanami worked. Though dead, the Sage hoped to use the trap as a way to convert any potential thieves to repent for their sins, or face eternity locked up in a void. However, because Kiyasui and her friend accidentally stumbled upon the Sage's grave rather than looking for it, the activation of the rinnegan became the way out. However, the theory itself is based on the times they experienced while trapped. Unlike her friend, Kiyasui was sent to the times of the Sumerian mythology. Being based in the time of Mesopotamia, it was the religion of Sumer, a region in southern Mesopotamia. Though interconnected with Abrahamic religion through a shared region, the space in time reflects just how different these two religions are. Finding the difference between the people and their beliefs, and connecting this with the fickleness of their gods is what awakened the Rinnegan for Kiyasui, freeing her from the Sage's trap. Her Rinnegan reflects the constant struggle between warfare and peace, how religions that are scorned can quickly overtake the traditional religions that scorn them. This is the constant overtaking, the cycle in which one religion or person supplants another, leading to endless tension. Her Rinnegan and its derived abilities signal a return to what once was, and to create a constant in a world that is consistently fickle. In other words, she must become the one who shows the truths of the past and connect them to hopes of the future.'''

5. What is the background of the character? How does it support the awakening of the Rinnegan? '''Born in the warring states period, Kiyasui comes from a time in which her world was infamously fickle. As clans battled it out and sought mercenaries to annihilate each other, those that had no clan heritage were often caught in the crossfire, leaving dangerously exposed. This was why Kiyasui was named so, as her parents hoped that she would be one that helped mediate and end this constant state of warfare. Stumbling upon the Sage's tomb as she and her friend sought shelter from the rain and the fights of others proved to be a confirmation in her parent's hopes for her to end these wars. She was to be the one that brought these people down to earth once more, and ground them in the lessons of the past. Recognizing this potential within her, the trap directed her to the teachings and mythology of the Sumerian religion, based around the tidings and society of earth. Thus her Rinnegan awakened when she recognized the endless cycle of one power supplanting another, and fickleness replacing continuity.''' 6. 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 basic six paths will correspond directly to the Rinnegan that my character possesses as her abilities will spawn directly from the teachings and mythology of Sumerian mythology. However, she will gain the ability to utilize all of the basic elements with the help of these teachings and the Rinnegan. Kiyasui will also be able to use the outer path from the channel of Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld and thus a judge of the matters of life and death.'''

If you are planning to create original techniques, please elaborate these below. How are they relevant to the Paths that your character can use? '''The original techniques that I plan to create will be derived from the teachings of Sumerian mythology. With it, Kiyasui will be able to manipulate all of the basic elements in a powerful and unique fashion. This will come as a result of Kiyasui using the deities of Sumerian culture as a medium for her ability to utilize all of the elements. For example, Enlil would serve as the channel that allowed Kiyasui to use the wind. She will also apply these channels beyond the simple elements, as she will use the gate of Ereshkigal to learn how to manipulate the fabric of life and death or the underworld. Lastly, she will use the paths of An (heaven) and Ki (earth), to be able to bridge the divide between the entities of the past, and those that reign over earth now.'''
