Tori Hitonomi's Puppets

Name: Ai
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is almost entirely made of wood. Her black hair is made of horse hair, with senbon entwined within the hair.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: The puppet's arms are outfitted with rotating blades along all three straight sections. Each blade is about three inches long and rotates along each section in a similar motion to that of a chainsaw. This chainsaw motion would easily be stopped by any solid metal, including iron, and the blades become dull after just three hits (of each section) against metals, and the chainsaw arms require a cooldown of ten posts between uses. Its fingers are each tipped with six-inch long metal fingernails that are capable of piercing flesh. The nails do not extend beyond six inches, and the arms cannot be "pushed" outwards with enough force to pierce a foe.
- Legs: The puppet's legs are mostly hollow, and when fully extended, a small pair of air cannons can be activated, propelling the puppet at a high rate of speed (about 30 mph) momentarily. As a weapon, the air cannons are fairly weak, possibly causing bruises to the opponent if they are hit directly within ten feet, but the power of the cannons dissipates to nothing after that distance. The cannons are capable of knocking a genin back ten feet if they are within a foot of the air cannons.
- Torso: The torso is almost entirely hollow. It has no weapons, but it can open up rather easily, making it improbable as a method of trapping a foe. It would take at least a single punch to open the "door" of the torso. The torso can be locked for the entire topic, but the lock mechanism is only meant to keep the opening shut against the outside, so an attack from inside makes it open instantly. The interior is lined with heat-resistant metal. At the rear of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires connecting the limbs of the puppet. The puppets limbs can be disconnected from the torso, connected only by a small thread of ninja wire. This can make it quite difficult to fully destroy the puppet.
- Head: The puppet's hair has five small senbon needles hidden among the wig of horse hair, turning the hair into less of a liability by making it impossible to grab onto. The senbon cannot be shot out of the hair, however.

Durability: Durability of bubinga wood.
History: This was Tori Hitonomi's last puppet, it's appearance is based on his ex-teammate that was finally killed while he had been on a mission. She was created to carry his second puppet, because it was far too heavy to use on its own effectively.
Appearance: At first glance, Ai may appear to be a human woman with a rather large, pregnant stomach. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. Although her face is emotionless, she appears to be wearing quite a large amount of make-up. Her black hair reaches down down to the middle of her back. Her body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern, along with a shawl. The chest is augmented with inflatable pieces to make her appear to be more "feminine". Her feet are bare and she stands at 5'8".



Name: Nikusa
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: Nikusa is made almost entirely of stainless steel.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: The baby's arms are small, but can disconnect from each joint to extend as far as six feet, connected by several braided strands of metal wire, making it quite strong as a kind of rope.
- Legs: The baby's legs are small and have the same connecting wires as the arms.
- Torso: The torso of the baby is entirely hollow, and the interior is lined with heat-resistant metal. The metal pipe from the head runs down into a special oil-filled jar tilted so that the opening of the jar is pointed straight down with its lid keeping the pipe and the jar from connecting. Near the back of the torso is a special machine that controls the wires in the puppet's arms and legs.
- Head: The head is outfitted with an almost entirely metal tube that runs all the way into its torso. The neck also has smaller tubes that are designed to suck in air. The nose also expels a tiny spark by striking two bits of metal against each other, and the mouth can open up to one foot. The flamethrower can only be used twice per topic for one post each, with a fifteen post cooldown between uses.

Durability: As durable as stainless steel. (180HV30, using the Vickers hardness test)
History: Tori Hitonomi created Nikusa after killing his first teammate and believing that he had killed his other teammate. He had made his second puppet as a way to make his first puppet more effective, but found that this all-metal puppet was extremely heavy and difficult to control, despite its increased heat and damage resistance.
Appearance: The puppet looks almost exactly like an infant child, save that it is almost entirely made of metal. This is to keep the puppet from being harmed by the fire that it is designed to expel from its mouth The puppet is about 25 inches tall (about two feet).



Name: Fundo
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: Fundo is made of the same wood as Ai. His hair is also made of black horse hair, but his hair does not include senbon.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Fundo's arms, unlike the other two puppets, are not extendable, but he does have chainsaw arms similar to Ai's, with the same cooldown and restrictions. He does not, however, share her long fingernails. Instead, his arms contain a set of pipes with an opening in the palms. When the arms are fully extended and collapsed to connect the pipes, the chainsaw arms are automatically shut off to keep them from destroying the pipes.
- Legs: Fundo's legs can bend at the knee far enough that the thighs and shins are touching, and a three-foot long blade can extend out of the knees only in this position.
- Torso: Although the male puppet does not have similar extendable arms like the other two puppets, his torso does have a special mechanism inside that can combine a flammable gas and a smokescreen that can then be expelled via the arm and mouth pipes. If the puppet runs out of flammable gas, it also has a second compartment holding ten kunai, allowing the puppet to launch kunai as well. The flammable gas/smokescreen can only cover an area of 20 feet, and dissipates into the ground after ten posts.
- Head: The male puppet can open its mouth to reveal a pipe much like the ones in its arms, allowing it to expel flammable gas and smokescreens or launching kunai.

Durability: Durability of bubinga wood.
History: Fundo is Tori Hitonomi's original puppet, created after he was found to have an affinity for puppetry.
Appearance: At first glance, Fundo may appear to be a human man, albeit a fairly tall man. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. His face is emotionless and his short black hair is spiked in a similar style to Tori Hitonomi's hair. His body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern. He wears a pair of wooden sandals that make him appear even taller than he is, and he stands at a height of 6'2" without the wooden sandals.






Name: Funryu
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is made of bubinga wood with thin stainless steel layered inside for greater durability. The cannon is made of thick stainless steel, which increases the weight greatly.
Abilities:

Weapons Locations:

- Arms: Funryu's arms are triple jointed (as though it has two elbows), allowing for greater dexterity. Each of its joints can open to reveal a pair of three inch long blades that can rotate at about 120 rotations per minute. These joints are connected to the torso, and the blades can help to create a thick mist, along with the legs.
- Legs: Funryu's legs do not have any weapons inside, but it can open at the single joint (at the knee) to reveal extremely low-pressure sprayers. These are also connected to the torso, and can be used along with the arms to create a thick, blinding mist.
- Torso: The torso contains a cannon on the back, with a large container of water inside that can become pressurized so that it sprays out of the cannon at a force high enough to push a genin back about 20 feet (if the opponent is within ten feet of the puppet) and cause bruising. However, while in "cannon mode" (leaning forwards, with its front arms on the ground so that the cannon is facing forwards), the puppet cannot move at all. In addition, it cannot use both the cannon and the low-pressure mist at the same time, nor can it use both in the same topic without refilling first.
- Head: The top of the head can open to reveal more low pressure sprayers, to help the arms and legs create thick mist.


Durability: The puppet can be as strong as stainless steel, but lighter due to the layering method.
History: Upon the completion of his "bronze" set of puppets, Tori became more creative. He then created a second set of puppets, to be used if the bronze set was not able to defeat the enemy.
Appearance:The puppet appears to be a fairly short and grotesquely deformed man with what appears to be a massive hump on its back. It wears a blue robe with a simple rope belt wrapped around it to keep it on the puppet. When its robe is taken off, however, it is revealed that the hump on its back is in fact a small (two feet long, one foot thick) cannon. Its arms are each about two feet long while its feet are only one foot long each, although they are very thick in order to keep the puppet from collapsing. The puppet's "hair" is long and black, and covers most of its grotesque face, and it always seems to be wet.


Name: Hiraishin
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is made entirely of bubinga wood, layered with stainless steel and copper.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Hiraishin's arms contain no weapons, only copper tubing at the center. The hands, however, each contain a three-inch long and very thin blade made of copper.
- Legs: Hiraishin's legs legs similarly contain no weapons, only copper tubing in the very center.
- Torso: Hiraishin's torso contains a small, low-power generator which connects to the copper tubing in the puppet's arms. Although a direct blast from the generator could kill, the power created by the generator is weakened by the slight resistance of the materials it must pass through to reach the outermost layer of wood. The chest cavity can open to reveal the generator and let loose a small, but paralyzing blast of electricity to all objects within one foot of the open cavity, instead of making painful, but otherwise fairly harmless shocks when the opponent touches it. However, if the chest cavity opens, the generator is easy to destroy, and none of the electrical attacks may be used again until it is recharged (which can take fifteen posts without another source of electricity or lightning chakra).
- Head: The mouth of the puppet can open to reveal a dagger made of copper with a hard steel protective layer. This dagger is connected to the generator in the puppet's torso. The top of the puppet's head can also open to extend a lightning rod for quick recharge or momentary overload of the generator. (The user of the puppet, nor the puppeteer's allies, may control the weather to make lightning strike the rod, unless one of the allies can literally control with weather. >.>)


Durability: Strength of stainless steel.
History: Upon the completion of his "bronze" set of puppets, Tori became more creative. He then created a second set of puppets, to be used if the bronze set was not able to defeat the enemy.
Appearance: The puppet is extremely tall, and appears very thin, though its arms and legs are actually thicker than a normal human's. It is entirely bald and wears a very long, yellow robe with a simple rope belt wrapped around the waist to keep it on the puppet. Its arms and legs are each three and a half feet long. The puppet's face is completely featureless, with only a small slit for its mouth.

Name: Gufu
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is made of bubinga wood layered with stainless steel, but the very center is hollow.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Gifu's arms contain no weapons, only steel tubing at the center. The palms of the hands can open to reveal these tubes. The arms can also connect to a pair of large, fabric "wings" that can be cut or burned easily; for this reason, the puppet almost never glides unless the opponent is distracted first.
- Legs: Gifu's legs legs similarly contain no weapons, only steel tubing in the very center.
- Torso: Gifu's torso contains a fairly large, balloon-like organ with connections to all four appendages and the head. This organ works using valves and vacuum suction to create massive gusts of air that can then be focused through the appendages. First, suction must be focused through one of the puppet's appendages, before the air is moved through a correct valve to a different appendage for expulsion of the air in a rather sudden blast. Every blast of air requires a single post charge to ready the air. When expelled, the high-pressure air can push a genin back 20 feet (if within ten feet of the puppet) and cause bruising. The torso is also full of small, but very compact steel balls filled with water under pressure; when dropped from above, they explode outwards in a five foot sphere that can cause bruising.
- Head: The head contains no weapons, except for a steel tube that can extend out of the mouth, and the throat contains specific strings that can vibrate with the moving air to create an extremely loud sound like a squawk that can cause momentary deafness to anyone within five feet of the puppet's mouth.

Durability: The same durability of stainless steel.
History: Upon the completion of his "bronze" set of puppets, Tori became more creative. He then created a second set of puppets, to be used if the bronze set was not able to defeat the enemy.
Appearance: Gifu appears to be extremely fat beneath its green robe. It is actually quite light for its apparent size. It has short, spiked hair that is colored silver, and a normal looking face.

Name: Mimizu
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is made of layered bubinga wood and stainless steel, though unlike the other puppets, the outer layer is stainless steel.
Abilities:

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Mimizu's arms end in small claws, and the entirety of its arms are covered in striations that circle all the way up. The arms can be put together around the puppet's head. The arms are also connected directly to a machine in the puppet's torso.
- Legs: Mimizu's legs have small explosive notes on the bottom of its feet that are activated by chakra from the puppeteer, usually via chakra strings. The only way to avoid damage of the puppet's legs are to make sure that the puppet has somewhere to move in order to dissipate the force on the puppet's own feet.
- Torso: Mimizu's torso includes a magazine containing 20 nails that can be connected to the bottom of the puppet's head so that it can spray the nails out at a rate of two per second. The torso also includes a piston machine made only to create high- and low-level vibrations that can cause a cave-in if used correctly.
- Head: Mimizu's mouth can open about a foot, allowing it to empty out the nails in ten seconds.

Durability: Strong as stainless steel.
History: Upon the completion of his "bronze" set of puppets, Tori became more creative. He then created a second set of puppets, to be used if the bronze set was not able to defeat the enemy.
Appearance: Mimizu has long, spiky brown hair down to the middle of its back and wears a brown robe with a simple rope belt around its waist. The sleeves of the robe completely covers its arms, but when the robe is taken off, one can see that the arms are each made to look like two halves of a huge drill.

Added a second set (which I will have to pay for later).

Still waiting on approval or denial or at least the puppets to be looked at...

Ai - Lets start with this puppet. This one you say her hair is entwined in senbon. I need to know how many. If its more than ten, I will require you to pay extra for them, and they can go no higher than 20. These senbon will have to be replaced if used by going to the weapon stores once they are open.

Her arms, tell me the cutting power of the chainsaw motion against another metal, IF it can tear through another without going dull. The fingernails can pierce up their length or can you control the puppet to send her entire arm through someone? For a free puppet all the way through would be a bit much unless there was a chakra give up by you to give it more power.

her legs, tell me how fast she can be propelled into the sky, and how far the air cannon travels towards an enemy before dissipating. Does it have knock back power?

The torso, tell me what it would take to break from the torso. Once its locked, is there a limited amount of time it holds before releasing or is it permanent?

Her head. Refer to what I said at the start. Can you send the senbon out of her hair?

Im also gonna say, if these mechanisms like the chainsaw arms are used, we want to see cooldowns for the uses, almost as if after there done being used, the arm becomes stiff and locked until the mechanism can release itself to be used once more. This is to keep it fair, because puppetry is by far the most complex thing to gauge in my opinion.

Anything you can do to the other puppets to make them better ready for approval before I get to them, do so ahead of time. You know the process of what we are looking for, so it should come easy. It will also make this process easier.

Changed all things mentioned in Ai, along with adding the same restrictions to Fundo's chainsaw arms and restrictions to both Fundo's and Nikusa's weapons.

Due to this being the first time I have ever seen someone TRULY have a set of puppets ready, will these mechanisms be taking from your chakra pool to activate, or is this solely passive? Was there a system for how your chakra is drained for the use of puppets on Saga? This is because there was no such thing ever brought up on Mirage. So This is what I will ask...

Ai - Do any of these puppet actions require a charge of chakra for any of the mechanisms? If so, each needs to be distinguished by rank atleast. For site purposes, it would seem a bit unfair for a puppet to be used an entire topic, then you still have 280 chakra just floating around afterwards.

I was thinking of making up a ranking for each individual weapon based on its restrictions and damage that can be dealt by the weapon, the same system used to rank jutsu... And the amount of chakra required to activate that weapon matching the rank. This way, we can restrict the amount of weapons or puppets a puppeteer has without leaving him/her totally defenseless after a set number of posts. Of course, this means that any jutsu or combos made using a puppet will reflect how the weapons are used instead of the rank of the actual technique.

So, using this way of thinking...

Chainsaw arms: 1 (full) post charge, ten post cooldown, can withstand being stopped three times before becoming useless - possible damage to (almost fully exposed) skin and muscle if used correctly = B-rank = 30 chakra each use.

Air Cannon Legs: No post charge, five post cooldown, low damage to opponent - no other restriction of use, single post of increased linear speed = D-rank = 10 chakra each use.

Limb Pulley Machine: Allows puppet to avoid damage a little more easily - no damage to opponent = E-rank = 5 chakra each use.

Flamethrower: 2 (full) post charge, fifteen post cooldown, only twice per topic - possible flame damage to enemy = B-rank = 30 chakra each use.

Smokescreen Machine: 1 post charge, usable twice per topic - creates flammable smokescreen = C-rank = 20 chakra each use.

Just a basic idea, and liable to change in order to match fair and balanced restrictions. Also, only mechanized parts require chakra; simple blades and such would require no chakra, so the puppeteer is never completely defenseless.

Understood. What I would like to see now then is this. Just be patient. As clanless, you have technically 10 free jutsu. So therefore, I would like for you to just repost one puppet at a time, and I will go through them.

This is what I want. Give me the jutsu template and put that template (minus the template pic) and put the template in the abilities section of this weapon template. You want 3 free puppets, so you have to decide on how you will divide your 10 free techs (in this case, mechanisms), and spread them out throughout the three puppets. Just in case I may be confusing you, I will provide an example.

Ex:

Puppet 1 could have - 3 D, 1 C

Puppet 2 could have - 2 C, 1 B, 1 A

Puppet 3 could have - 1 B, 1 S

You, see where I am going with this? This may alter what you already have, but all you have to do is save what you cant fit in and upgrade the puppet with these techniques later. When it comes to your free 'mechanisms' the only thing I dont want to see, is the A Rank and the S rank mechanism in the same puppet.

While I am at it, basically I am using your review as a stepping stone for a potential puppet system to be put in place to avoid further confusion on this matter. So bear with, and we will work through this as proper as we can.

Name: Ai
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: The puppet is almost entirely made of wood. Her black hair is made of horse hair, with senbon entwined within the hair.
Abilities:

Name: Chainsaw Arms: Activate
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: The puppet's arms are outfitted with rotating blades along all three straight sections. Each blade is about three inches long and rotates along each section in a similar motion to that of a chainsaw. This chainsaw motion would easily be stopped by any solid metal, including iron, and the blades become dull after just three hits (of each section) against metals, and the chainsaw arms require a cooldown of ten posts between uses. They also require a full charge-up post before use. The chainsaw arms only last one post for each use, and that they can cause a great deal of pain and slow down movement in that limb by 20%, but cannot cut through a limb due to the size of the blades and the chainsaws are not strong enough to cut through bone.


Name: Limb Pulley Machine
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: At the rear of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires connecting the limbs of the puppet. The puppets limbs can be disconnected from the torso, connected only by a small thread of ninja wire. This can make it quite difficult to fully destroy the puppet. The strings can be pulled back into the puppet at a rate of 50 mph, and the wire is thin enough to cut skin.

Name: Air Cannons
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: The puppet's legs are mostly hollow, and when fully extended, a small pair of air cannons can be activated, propelling the puppet at a high rate of speed (about 30 mph) momentarily. As a weapon, the air cannons are fairly weak, possibly causing bruises to the opponent if they are hit directly within ten feet, but the power of the cannons dissipates to nothing after that distance. The cannons are capable of knocking a genin back ten feet if they are within a foot of the air cannons. They do not require a post charge-up, but require a five post cooldown after each use.


Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Its fingers are each tipped with six-inch long metal fingernails that are capable of piercing flesh. The nails do not extend beyond six inches, and the arms cannot be "pushed" outwards with enough force to pierce a foe.
- Legs: No other weapons.
- Torso: The torso is almost entirely hollow. It has no weapons, but it can open up rather easily, making it improbable as a method of trapping a foe. It would take at least a single punch to open the "door" of the torso. The torso can be locked for the entire topic, but the lock mechanism is only meant to keep the opening shut against the outside, so an attack from inside makes it open instantly. The interior is lined with heat-resistant metal.
- Head: The puppet's hair has five small senbon needles hidden among the wig of horse hair, turning the hair into less of a liability by making it impossible to grab onto. The senbon cannot be shot out of the hair, however.

Durability: Ai is made of very durable Bubinga Wood, and can withstand a good portion of D Rank techniques. Ai can withstand up to 5 techniques of D Rank level before being destroyed. However, Ai is less durable against higher techniques. Ai can only take three hits from C Rank Techniques before being broken and at B rank level and higher, one technique can destroy it. Naturally blades wont have any issue cutting through the wood, if their sharpness gives them such a power. Since fire can burn wood, it would only take a D Rank fire technique to cause Ai to be set ablaze and it takes 4 explosive tags to engulf it into flames.
History: This was Tori Hitonomi's last puppet, it's appearance is based on his ex-teammate that was finally killed while he had been on a mission. She was created to carry his second puppet, because it was far too heavy to use on its own effectively.
Appearance: At first glance, Ai may appear to be a human woman with a rather large, pregnant stomach. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. Although her face is emotionless, she appears to be wearing quite a large amount of make-up. Her black hair reaches down down to the middle of her back. Her body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern, along with a shawl. The chest is augmented with inflatable pieces to make her appear to be more "feminine". Her feet are bare and she stands at 5'8".

Kept the normal weapon locations where they are, as knowing where the normal, non-mechanized weapons are could be important.

I like the way it is set up now, everything looks clean. Due to the torso trap being extremely weak, that will essentially make the senbon hair and the claws still at no charge. I do want to know though, just how durable is Bubinga Wood? Is it more dense than most woods? Just give me some more details on it please.

It can range from moderately durable to very durable... but it's resistant to termites and marine borers. Let's say very durable.

Then if its very durable this is where I want to see it.

Ai is made of very durable Bubinga Wood, and can withstand a good portion of D Rank techniques. Ai can withstand up to 5 techniques of D Rank level before being destroyed. However, Ai is less durable against higher techniques. Ai can only take three hits from C Rank Techniques before being broken and at B rank level and higher, one technique can destroy it. Naturally blades wont have any issue cutting through the wood, if their sharpness gives them such a power. Since fire can burn wood, it would only take a D Rank fire technique to cause Ai to be set ablaze and it takes 4 explosive tags to engulf it into flames.

Added to the durability, word for word.

Ok, then with that, I now say, Ai......



Please bring on the next puppet.

Name: Nikusa
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: Nikusa is made almost entirely of stainless steel.
Abilities:

Name: Limb Pulley Machine
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: At the rear of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires connecting the limbs of the puppet. The puppets limbs can be disconnected from the torso, connected only by a small thread of ninja wire. This can make it quite difficult to fully destroy the puppet. The strings can be pulled back into the puppet at a rate of 50 mph, and the wire is thin enough to cut skin.

Name: Flamethrower
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: A
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: The flamethrower can create a cone-shaped spray of flaming oil that can attach to an opponent's clothing or armor, and the liquid will continue to burn for three posts, causing third degree burns it not removed immediately or dodged. The flaming oil can also attach to the environment, possibly causing a forest fire if the user is not careful in its use. The cone reaches as far as ten feet, and five feet wide at its farthest point. The flamethrower can be used five times per topic (for only one post each) or for five posts at once, with a ten post cooldown between uses (unless used for five posts, in which case, it cannot be used for the rest of the topic). Before each use, it must be charged for at least one full post.

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: The baby's arms are small, but can disconnect from each joint to extend as far as six feet, connected by several braided strands of metal wire, making it quite strong as a kind of rope. No other weapons.
- Legs: The baby's legs are small and have the same connecting wires as the arms. No other weapons.
- Torso: Both the pulley machine and the flamethrower's components are stored here, including 15 liters of oil. No other weapons.
- Head: The head of the flamethrower is here. No other weapons.

Durability: Nikusa is far more durable against certain attacks than its wooden counterparts. For instance, D-rank taijutsu will have no effect on the metal puppet. Nikusa can withstand 5 C-rank techniques or 3 B-rank techniques, but it is broken immediately by A-rank techniques. Unless a sword mentions that it can cut through steel (or a more powerful metal), the puppet will not be affected by the sword. Nikusa is not susceptible to fire at all, and would require an A-rank technique to melt it. However, it is susceptible to lightning techniques, and can be stopped by a single C-rank lightning technique. Water does not rust Nikusa at all, due to the fact that he is made of stainless steel, which cannot rust.
History: Tori Hitonomi created Nikusa after killing his first teammate and believing that he had killed his other teammate. He had made his second puppet as a way to make his first puppet more effective, but found that this all-metal puppet was extremely heavy and difficult to control, despite its increased heat and damage resistance.
Appearance: The puppet looks almost exactly like an infant child, save that it is almost entirely made of metal. This is to keep the puppet from being harmed by the fire that it is designed to expel from its mouth The puppet is about 25 inches tall (about two feet).

For this puppet, the Flamethrower refers to flaming liquid. Is there a reason for that? If there is oil stored within the puppet, say so, and say how much. This is due to the fact that you will have to refill the oil if you run out.

Secondly, once again the durability factor. You need to make it sound like the one I made for you. What can or can't break it, so on and so forth. However, this will be highly susceptible to lightning techs and probably start to rust if hit by water techniques. Originally you had this one at Bubinga wood as well, not sure why you changed it. Not everyone will know the scale in which you used. You may keep it, but relate it to Naruto if you choose to.

A flamethrower that shoots flaming oil is different from a flamethrower that shoots flame. The flamethrowers that just shoot flame were never actually used, because the human body is about 70% water, so just shooting flames aren't very effective. Hence the flaming oil. Also added a specific (random) amount.

And the infant puppet was never made of bubinga wood. I had always imagined the puppet being made of steel so that it wouldn't be destroyed by its own weapon. Also, stainless steel is never susceptible to rusting. Changed the durability, anyway.

Each time you use the fire, you need to give me how much oil is ued. You will need to register an item that has this oil and once you rune out, you must repurchase the oil. Due to my long time of having no school, is 15 liters greater than a gallon or less?

Actually, an uncommon fact about stainless steel is that water can actually rust them if they are left under its contents for too long. As an owner of tools, I left one out in the rain and sun for too long, and when I finally found it, it did indeed have rust spots. I also have a tool set that was in a case. I leave it in my car. During the winter, the moisture that builds on metal due to the falling temperatures, still built up on the tools and eventually rusted certain spots of my tools. So they will be rustable at some point, and I see it as being a high ranking water technique. This is why certain tools still come with a lifetime warranty, even when they promise no rusting (and unrelated to this, a lifetime warranty if the tool happens to break).

Thats what I do know based on personal experience. Please make some type of edits. With this being a starter puppet, I can see it taking a B Rank water tech to start rusting the joints, an A Rank to begin rusting a few inches from the joints, and an S Rank Water Technique locking the entire puppet down. If you want it to be where fire and water has to be used in conjunction to rust this technique, go ahead. Just remember, your going after free puppets with this set and dont over do it.

15 liters is almost four gallons. 15 liters is easier in this case, because each shot (since 15 can easily be divided into five uses) uses 3 liters, or a little more than 3/4 of a gallon.

As for your stainless steel problem, there are different grades of stainless steel; your tool set was either not passivated, which allows stainless steel to retain its corrosion resistance, or it was a very low-grade stainless steel, which CAN rust. The chromium and nickel resists corrosion by rust, so the less chromium or nickel present in the alloy, the more it can rust. Your tool set was maybe 304, where 316 is the type of stainless steel that does not readily rust (it may take months of moisture for rust to build up, as rust builds up with time and presence of moisture). A high-level suiton jutsu would be more likely to break the puppet than to corrode it.

The thing about this puppet is that it cannot be moved on its own due to the weight, so I thought that might be enough of a drawback for the puppet to be approved, but I think the Suiton, then Katon (within five posts of each other) would be fair.

Ok, then make your edits official then bump. Make sure if you haven't mentioned the drawback of the puppet to do so.

Reposting it here with edits so you don't have to go back a page...

Name: Nikusa
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: Nikusa is made almost entirely of stainless steel.
Abilities:

Name: Limb Pulley Machine
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: At the rear of the torso is a special set of pulleys that control the wires connecting the limbs of the puppet. The puppets limbs can be disconnected from the torso, connected only by a small thread of ninja wire. This can make it quite difficult to fully destroy the puppet. The strings can be pulled back into the puppet at a rate of 50 mph, and the wire is thin enough to cut skin.

Name: Flamethrower
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: A
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: The flamethrower can create a cone-shaped spray of flaming oil that can attach to an opponent's clothing or armor, and the liquid will continue to burn for three posts, causing third degree burns it not removed immediately or dodged. The flaming oil can also attach to the environment, possibly causing a forest fire if the user is not careful in its use. The cone reaches as far as ten feet, and five feet wide at its farthest point. The flamethrower can be used five times per topic (for only one post each) or for five posts at once, with a ten post cooldown between uses (unless used for five posts, in which case, it cannot be used for the rest of the topic). Before each use, it must be charged for at least one full post.

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: The baby's arms are small, but can disconnect from each joint to extend as far as six feet, connected by several braided strands of metal wire, making it quite strong as a kind of rope. No other weapons.
- Legs: The baby's legs are small and have the same connecting wires as the arms. No other weapons.
- Torso: Both the pulley machine and the flamethrower's components are stored here, including 15 liters of oil. No other weapons.
- Head: The head of the flamethrower is here. No other weapons.

Durability: Nikusa is far more durable against certain attacks than its wooden counterparts. For instance, D-rank taijutsu will have no effect on the metal puppet. Nikusa can withstand 5 C-rank techniques or 3 B-rank techniques, but it is broken immediately by A-rank techniques. Unless a sword mentions that it can cut through steel (or a more powerful metal), the puppet will not be affected by the sword. Nikusa is not susceptible to fire at all, and would require an A-rank technique to melt it. However, it is susceptible to lightning techniques, and can be stopped by a single C-rank lightning technique. Water does not rust Nikusa at all by itself, due to the fact that he is made of stainless steel, which cannot rust. However, if a Suiton and a Katon technique are used within five posts of one another, rust will develop near the joints. Due to the puppet's massive weight of 50 lbs., the puppet is not capable of being controlled perfectly, meaning that it cannot be moved on its own without all five fingers (one hand) focused just on this puppet.
History: Tori Hitonomi created Nikusa after killing his first teammate and believing that he had killed his other teammate. He had made his second puppet as a way to make his first puppet more effective, but found that this all-metal puppet was extremely heavy and difficult to control, despite its increased heat and damage resistance.
Appearance: The puppet looks almost exactly like an infant child, save that it is almost entirely made of metal. This is to keep the puppet from being harmed by the fire that it is designed to expel from its mouth The puppet is about 25 inches tall (about two feet).

Remember that you will need to register the oil after these puppets are done. Bring on the next free puppet.

Name: Fundo
Type: Puppet
Quantity: 1
Description: Fundo is made of the same wood as Ai. His hair is also made of black horse hair, but his hair does not include senbon.
Abilities:

Name: Chainsaw Arms: Activate
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: Puppet Strings
Description: The puppet's arms are outfitted with rotating blades along all three straight sections. Each blade is about three inches long and rotates along each section in a similar motion to that of a chainsaw. This chainsaw motion would easily be stopped by any solid metal, including iron, and the blades become dull after just three hits (of each section) against metals, and the chainsaw arms require a cooldown of ten posts between uses. They also require a full charge-up post before use, and each use only lasts one post. On bare skin (no armor whatsoever), the chainsaw arms can cut past skin and into flesh, causing a great deal of pain and 20% slower movement with that limb. The chainsaw arms cannot completely cut off a limb, as the blades are far too small and the chainsaw motion would be stopped by the bone.

Name: Smoker Pipes
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C
Type: Puppetry
Element: N/A
Distance: The Smoker Pipes are a special set of three different pipes all connected to the torso, and which can extend a full six inches past the hands and the mouth. Once the Smoker Pipes are active, the puppet cannot move without risking damage to one of the three pipes. The pipes are capable of releasing a specific mixture of oil vapor and the contents of a typical, non-poisonous smoke bomb. The effect is an explosively flammable vapor that can also block the field of vision for anyone caught inside (the puppeteer also cannot see through this smokescreen). However, the smokescreen will dissipate after just five posts, and only stays up for a single post if the weather is particularly wet (raining, misty, foggy, very high humidity, etc.). The size of the smokescreen also only covers a twenty foot diameter, which is decreased to only five feet in wet weather. Due to this large drawback in the presence of water, the puppet is also outfitted to launch kunai from any of the three pipes at a rate of ten kunai per post; it expends its entire load in two posts, with each kunai reaching a muzzle velocity of 30 mph. The kunai only travel about ten feet before losing enough penetrating power to do damage; this is due to the fact that the pipes are meant to expel a gaseous mixture, not solid objects. The pupet must be drawn back to the puppeteer for a reload. In the event that the pipes become clogged, the puppet can fail catastrophically (explosion due to pressure buildup). The Smoker Pipes may only be used twice per topic. Kunai must be purchased in order to launch kunai, along with smoke bombs and oil. (1 smoke bomb and 5 liters of oil per use, so 2 smoke bombs and 10 liters of oil at each purchase.)

Weapon Locations:

- Arms: Fundo's arms, unlike the other two puppets, are not extendable, but he does have chainsaw arms similar to Ai's, with the same cooldown and restrictions. He does not, however, share her long fingernails. No other weapons.
- Legs: Fundo's legs can bend at the knee far enough that the thighs and shins are touching, and a three-foot long blade can extend out of the knees only in this position. No other weapons.
- Torso: If the puppet runs out of flammable gas, it also has a second compartment holding twenty kunai, allowing the puppet to launch kunai as well.
- Head: The male puppet can open its mouth to reveal a pipe much like the ones in its arms, allowing it to expel flammable gas and smokescreens or launching kunai. No other weapons.

Durability: Fundo is made of very durable Bubinga Wood, and can withstand a good portion of D Rank techniques. Fundo can withstand up to 5 techniques of D Rank level before being destroyed. However, Fundo is less durable against higher techniques. Fundo can only take three hits from C Rank Techniques before being broken and at B rank level and higher, one technique can destroy it. Naturally blades wont have any issue cutting through the wood, if their sharpness gives them such a power. Since fire can burn wood, it would only take a D Rank fire technique to cause Fundo to be set ablaze and it takes 4 explosive tags to engulf it into flames.
History: Fundo is Tori Hitonomi's original puppet, created after he was found to have an affinity for puppetry.
Appearance: At first glance, Fundo may appear to be a human man, albeit a fairly tall man. The puppet is, however, almost entirely made of wood. His face is emotionless and his short black hair is spiked in a similar style to Tori Hitonomi's hair. His body is covered by a kimono with a rather plain pattern. He wears a pair of wooden sandals that make him appear even taller than he is, and he stands at a height of 6'2" without the wooden sandals.

Chainsaw arms - is this the same as Ai? What is the duration? What is the damage it can potentially maximize against an enemy? (If we didn't cover this with Ai, we need to do that as well). I am at work, so this is all I can ask for now.

Added that the chainsaw arms only last one post for each use, and that they can cause a great deal of pain and slow down movement in that limb by 20%, but cannot cut through a limb due to the size of the blades and the fact that the chainsaws would be stopped by bone. If you find this acceptable, I will add the information to Ai's own chainsaw arms.

That is acceptable. Make the edits and bump.
