Rayzoku
Here is to get an idea of what Rayzoku users can do with their powers and abilities. This applies to all current and future Rayzoku users.
Overview
Rayzoku is the art of learning how to tap into one's 'Dark Ki' giving the user supernatural stats and abilities.
The founder of the art is up for debate, though Rayzoku is the prominent name that often comes up and was eventually decided on the 'name' for the style itself. Fighting wise, it resembles bits of Shotokan Karate with some elements of other styles such as some of the animal styles of Kung Fu.
Dark Ki is not evil. It's a common misconception that light equals good and purity and dark equals evil and impurity. In reality, in their natural state, both of them are simply two sides of the same coin and natural. Light may give way to the sun, but without the dark and without rest, it can throw things into chaos. Similarly, the dark of the night can provide safe passage and relief.
In a way, its not so much different from ying and yang.
Powers and Abilities.
Users of the Rayzoku arts have a variety of powers and skills that make them quite formidable once added together and mastered. Many of them are listed down below.
Ki Sense. A Rayzoku user's energy sense is sharper then average. In addition, it can pick up supernatural and magical energy far better then normal Ki sense.
Super Human Stats. This is the basic of their power. They learn to tap into the energy, allowing them superhuman to eventually meta human feats of physical prowess. Unlike a Z-Fighter, this is not turned on or off, it simply is. They do, however, have to train to increase their power. The strongest Rayzoku users can fight Z-Fighters and the like.
Dark Vision. Someone trained in Rayzoku have the ability to see in complete darkness. Given the style, this is not much of a surprise.
Enhanced Senses. This gives the user above average hearing and sight. If they already have some to begin with, it doesn't stack(meaning it won't have an effect)
Improved Life Span. A person who practices in Rayzoku can increase their life span as it slows down the aging process. For example, a human can live four times longer then normal.
Advance Or Master Level Abilities.
Sixth Sense. Those who become further in-tuned with the energy are eventually able to see spiritual beings(wraiths and what not). If the user wishes, they can turn this off or on at their leisure and its not on as a constant.
Ghost Touch. Related to the above power, this is learned roughly around the same time. Going slightly a step further, a Rayzoku user can hurt or destroy 4D beings. Spirits, wraiths, specters and the like would be considered 4D. They're called such because normal physical attacks do no harm to them. They can either empower their blows for such an effect or use their own energy attacks.
At higher levels, they are able to kill Immortals permanently with this ability.
Enlightened Form. In this state, a strange tattoo will appear on their backs. The energy
from the transformation can violently push people away who are standing
close by a few feet. In this form, the aura becomes more pronounced. In
addition, they leave a slight shadowy 'after image' as they move.
All
their physical stats(including their Dark Ki) double from what they are
normally. The drawback to this form is you can only maintain it for a
limited time. How long depends entirely on the users skill, experience
and power.
Glide. The name is self explanatory. They have the ability to glide, though not quite fly. However, adding this with their ability to teleport and its close enough.
Teleport. Like other fighters, they have the ability to teleport. In the start, its only short to medium distances with a cool down after wards. As the user learns more and more, they can eventually hop to cities and the like. The more skill and power they have, the further the distance though the bigger the drain.
Dragons Descent. This is actually a name of a technique. What it does is cover the user in dark ki and then launch them forward at high speed towards their opponent. People who have learned control enough can in essence use this as a form of travel. When doing so, it'll be much weaker, however it'll be notably faster then their base running speed.
Flight: Strong enough or experience enough users can fly.
Inner Focus: This ability allows them to 'breath' in otherwise would be hostile environments just fine.
Inner Spirit.
It's odd to know, but Rayzoku's power is partly sentient. A new user must slowly form a bond with their Inner Spirit. The appearance, looks and personality vary. The only thing they have in common is they're benevolent in some form or fashion. If the user abuses the power they can revoke all or some of it. The Inner Spirit is born from the person's own soul so there needed be a worry about this happening at random.
However, there's loopholes as someone clever enough can get pass this and fufill their evil or selfish desires. This is why Rayzoku being taught to anyone has to first be approved by a master.
Transmutation Resistance. At the highest levels, a Rayzoku student or master in this case doesn't have to fear from suddenly being turned into a stool or a rock. However, if the being is significantly more powerful then them, they can easily bypass this.
Burn Out.
It's been known to happen, but occasionally, the powers burn out. This however, isn't permanent except for the most extreme of cases. One of the causes is over use of the power, the other is staying in their super form too long. Eventually though, the power will restore itself before too long.
Fist Of The Dark
There are other masters of Rayzoku but becoming the Fist Of The Dark is more then just a mere title. It's something that's only given to someone who has reached a certain level of power, knowledge and the like. It takes more then just power to reach it. They have power that dwarfs other masters and the skill to back it up. They can be said to be the Grand Master of the style.
There's only a few at a time, in general.
