Afflictions Based Characteristics can be seen as both a part of and completely opposite to Special Characteristics in some regards. As the name implies they act as negative aspects or attributes in regards to a character and act only to apply harmful effects to your characters. As one might imagine, they will provide no benefit to your character, or at least none that outweigh the severely detrimental effects. Afflictions are a disease, and illness, anything one can think of, with negative effects on one's health. Perhaps one gets memories from a clone that are too real, and are stricken with the memory of their own death. Perhaps they suffer some terminal disease, and will not live past 30. Maybe they're just color blind or even completely blind. Whatever the case, one can only reasonably have a certain number of afflictions before being unfit for a shinobi career. Exceptions will be dealt with on a case by case basis. Users will also not be allowed to start with an affliction of a higher rank than their character, unless granted Admin approval.

There are currently only a few Open Afflictions, and as such users are encouraged to create one if the so desire. However, users are not by any measure required to have an Affliction Based Characteristic. They are entirely optional, and as such, it is left to the user to design their own unique debilitating weakness to inflict on their character.

Afflictions SC Template:

Due to the vast number of words one must write for special characteristics to rank up, we as Staff realize that writing Special Characteristics can be too tedious on newcomers and veterans trying to explore their creations while ranking up. In lieu of this, we have implemented a system which allows one to purchase Special Characteristics. It should be noted that each level is purchased, unlike jutsu where buying S Rank grants you all tiers.

Rank	Cost
C-Rank	20 AF
B-Rank	30 AF
A-Rank	45 AF
S-Rank	55 AF

Since we do want a healthy balance of writing, we don't want to incentivize purchasing SCs over writing out training. This option is for those that feel like SC training may be a bit challenging to write.

To obtain the Ninjutsu Master bonus at B-rank the cost is 10 AF while the A-rank bonus is 15 AF. Clan Master at A Rank is also subject to moderator discretion depending on the special effect, but be prepared to spend. It should be stated that it is not possible to train Special Characteristics half way and buy the rest. You either buy it or train it, there is no in between.

If one possess Weaponry or Taijutsu as a Primary specialty, with one other specialty, and acquire Weaponry or Taijutsu as a Sub-Specialty, they may possess up to any three of them.
[b]Description:[/b]  After training relentlessly in cardiovascular and high speed movement, shinobi are able to greatly increase their overall stamina and movement speed. Those talented with this speed are capable of running with speed a man greater than their peers and even last a bit longer during extraneous activities without becoming exhausted. This boost in speed is usually enough to quickly catch escaping targets or outrun most regular citizens.

[b]Restrictions:[/b] The Character must have either Taijutsu or Weaponry as one of their specialties.
[b]Description:[/b] Further training in high speed movement has given the shinobi valiant speed that can perform olympic sprinters with no effort. By now, the ninja can run twice as fast as their untalented peers, and can usually run for miles on end without breaking a sweat.

[b]Description:[/b] Years of training one’s speed has lead them to the next evolutionary step in their ability. The shinobi can now go up to thrice as fast compared to others of equal rank. On top of this large speed boost, those with this speed can essentially appear as a swift blur to unsuspecting bystanders who happen to notice the character. Unfortunately, the high speed training does very little in further improving one’s already great stamina

[b]Restrictions:[/b] The Character must have either Taijutsu or Weaponry as one of their specialties. Character may not have the “Herculean Strength”, “Titan Endurance”, or "Elite Evasion" special characteristics.
[b]Description:[/b] OOver a decade or two of constant adapting and training in one’s physical attributes has finally lead them down the path of speed. Having chosen speed as their dominant ability, shinobi with such talent are able to move four times faster than the average ninja of equal rank. Their speed is so great in fact, that should they hit their top speed, they can essentially become nothing more than a phased blur from the high-speed movement. The movement is so fast, that little beyond the Sharingan or exceptionally keen perceptive abilities can spot them.
[b]Trade Off:[/b] While users of this characteristic are indeed fast, such speed comes at a price; when hitting their top speed, they can only move in straight lines, and require significant room to come to a full stop. Reckless users may find themselves plastered into a wall more often than not. Furthermore, their speed is so great, that users have just as much difficulty as their foes in actually seeing their movement. As such, users generally find it necessary to slow down when outright attacking, to ascertain their attack is actually heading towards the right target.

If one possess Weaponry or Taijutsu as a Primary specialty, with one other specialty, and acquire Weaponry or Taijutsu as a Sub-Specialty, they may possess up to any three of them.
[b]Description:[/b] Countless hours, days, weeks and even months of lifting weights, muscle stretching, exercise and pure raw-power training has built the shinobi’s strength to something comparable to an ferocious animal. These ninja are so talented in strength, they can lift objects over their own weight, and strike with the ferocity of one man greater than their peers. This boost is usually enough to cause serious damage to an enemy with a mere punch or kick; causing substantial bruises to their enemy and maybe fracturing bones.

[b]Description:[/b] Further training in the art of killing and brute force has lead the ninja down a road full of power. They can now lift objects up to two times heavier than they are, and their physical strength has also improved to about twice as great compared to ninja of equal rank. By now the shinobi can punch a log in half, and even crack stone with their bare hands. The increase in strength has also blessed them with the ability to jump significantly higher than their peers, though this not exactly a useful benefit. Smaller bones are easier to break with full powered punches or kicks.

[b]Description:[/b]  By now, the shinobi has trained more than vigorously in strength; spending several long years in this incredibly tasking feat. Very few have ever passed this point, and for good reasons. With thrice the physical strength of ninja equal in rank, those with this talent in strength have been known the shatter rocks with a mere punch, and destroy walls without even expending a drop of chakra. The strength is so great, weaponry users can cut iron and steel in half with enough focus; and most are able to lift upwards of five times more than they weigh. This level of strength makes it easy to break bones with well practiced taijutsu or weaponry attacks.

[b]Description:[/b] Decades of physical training have lead the shinobi down the fortunate path of destruction. With strength that is said to rival Gods, those with this talent can wrap metal with their bare hands and even dent sheets of steel with punches. Arbitrary defenses such as shields become useless to someone with twice the strength than the average shinobi of their rank, and by now they can lift objects ten times heavier than them; boulders becoming nothing but a training mechanism at this point. Getting hit will definitely break bones at this level.
[b]Trade-Off[/b]: While those of such indomitable strength may be able to rend steel with their bare hands, their bare hands are still mere flesh and bone. As such, users as easily capable of hurting themselves if they make full use of their strength. Broken bones, torn muscles, are all equally likely.

[b]Description:[/b] Conditioning ones body in the art of pain has allowed for the ninja to have a heightened physical endurance. These ninja are so talented in dealing with pain that they seem to only feel a quarter of the pain that their peers would. This boost is usually enough to prevent the feeling of serious damage to the person from a mere punch or kick.

[b]Description:[/b] The last level in the art of endurance, having being only accessible to those who have undergone decades of training in the face of pain, has led the shinobi to have endurance like that of a titan. The possessor of this talent has a phenomenal pain tolerance, amounting to five times that of their peers which makes them supremely tough to keep down. At this stage, their endurance boasts that of superhuman levels with shinobi able to withstand life-threatening injury for a heightened amount of time that other shinobi would be dead in their tracks.
[b]Trade Off:[/b] While users of this characteristic are exceptionally durable, it comes at the price that they are never fully aware of just how much damage they have taken. Their leg bones may be pulverized to dust, and they would not notice until the leg stopped worked, or the bone jutted out. It is not unheard of for such people to drop dead on their feet, unaware of their own organs failing them.

[b]Description:[/b] Although all Ninja to some degree are renown for their evasive and slippery nature a possessor of this SC has trained to the point where they have begun to master not only the basic forms of evasive maneuvering, but they have also developed a small degree of Kinesthesiology (Bodily Knoweldge) increasing their natural mobility and flexibility.  The suitability of the ninja increases as they are now capable of executing quicker flips, twists or dodges than their peers.

[b]Description:[/b] Compounding upon the gains of the 'Improved Evasiveness' Special Characteristic, a possessor of this SC has progressed to an adept level of mastery over their own body, not only through their own flexibility, but also of their surroundings and standing, thus they have become more proficient in regards to evasive maneuvers and general agile movements. At this stage a Shinobi has become notably more flexible than their peers which in turn allows them to contort and bend their bodies in ways that make them quite difficult to hit within combat.

[b]Description:[/b] At the highest level of ability in regards to their natural skill and knowledge with their body, a possessor of this Special Characteristic can be seen as quite possibly the most flexible person you shall ever meet. In conjunction with this natural level of flexibility, with proper study they are more than likely to be a Master Acrobat and as such capable of making expert maneuvers that take the nature of their evasive maneuverings even further. It goes without saying that it is nearly impossible to catch one with this Special Characteristic off balance due to their ability to move their body in such ways.
[b]Trade Off:[/b] While users of this characteristic are indeed extremely flexible, their bones are still quite rigid. Too frequent and too extreme of a dodge can lead to them breaking their own bones contorting themselves around an attack, and thus caution must be taken.

Now being classified as a "Sensor Ninja" the ninja is capable of detecting the presence of other people through a unique application their chakra. This sensory ability has two main facets of function. With the first the user must remaining focused and stationary and as a result the sensor will be able detect their targets from a great distance which can extend to a maximum of 100 meters. In this state they are capable of differentiating a character by their signature chakra alone to such an extent they can pin-point any individual within their sensory limit even if they are surrounded in a crowd as well as the size of their targets' chakra reserves. In the midst of combat, this ability is far less refined as the user is unable to maintain the proper focus. Without the proper time and effort a Sensor is only capable of utilizing their basic sensory at a maximum of 20 meters and the details they gain are far less specific. They are only able to recognize those of a familiar chakra signature with ease and beyond that their abilities are limited to a sense of vague location with no clues in regard to the actions or abilities of their opponents. It's not possible to sense without at least a minimal amount of effort, regardless of whether the enhanced or less refined senses are being applied. If multiple people are in close proximity to each other, it becomes harder to differentiate between chakra signatures. At max range, if people are within 5m of each other, their chakras become muddled. If the targets are within 20m of the sensor, their chakra only becomes muddled if they are within 1m of each other.
