Puppetry I

Name: Promotion
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Range: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Speed: N/A
Description: With this ability, the puppeteer may move their creation in such a way that it can use a taijutsu or bukijutsu technique known by the master, allowing it to perform more advanced attacks and such. The puppet must, of course, have any relevant weaponry and/or body parts needed or the attack. For instance, a puppet with no arms could not deliver a punch in the same way that a puppet without a sword could not do a technique of blade work.

Name: Castle
Rank: C
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Range: 15m
Handseals: N/A
Speed: N/A
Description: Essentially a modified replacement technique specifically for the puppeteer, this ability has twofold use. First, it can be used simply as a replacement technique for a puppet, allowing them to rapidly swap places with an object in the nearby environment, including another puppet. Conversely, this can be used to swap a puppeteer who is in danger with her puppet, leading to a nasty surprise for the person who struck what was once the puppeteer.


Name: En Passant
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Range: 10m
Handseals: N/A
Speed: +20 base speed
Description: A modified version of the body flicker, this ability simply is extended for use on a puppet rather than the user. The puppeteer will pulse a burst of chakra down the strings, enlivening a puppet and causing it to temporarily move at increased speeds. However, due to the increased complexity of the move, the speeds achieved by En Passant are not as great as those achieved by the regular body flicker.

Name: Maroczy Bind
Rank: A
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Range: Equal to range of Chakra Strings
Handseals: N/A
Speed: N/A
Description: With a large application of chakra to the strings controlling a puppet or otherwise attached to an object, the puppeteer can supercharge them, giving them a deadly addition. With the influx of chakra, the strings become like a deadly, incredibly fine razor wire which can easily slice through human bodies and even a large host of defenses. This allows the puppeteer to potentially, with clever placement of strings, attack an opponent even without a puppet in play. Additionally, the puppeteer can also use this with a large supply of strings and puppets to control large swaths of the battlefield.
