Creating Techniques

Name: Sheipushifuto (シェイプシフト, literally meaning "Shapeshift")
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko
Rank: 1 (50 xpz)
Description: The user shapeshifts into anyone who's humanoid or cat-shaped, emulating even their voices and clothes. Shapeshifting has a size limit. For humanoid forms, the scope of the size is roughly between the height of a little kid and a ten feet tall human. For cat-shaped forms, the scope of the size is between a little kitten and the size of the user's full form. Another drawback is that the user cannot take on additional traits. The user's level of athleticism remains unchanged regardless of what their appearance may otherwise suggests.

Name: Faiabōru (ファイアボール, literally meaning "Fireball")
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko
Rank: 1 (50 xpz)
Description: The user summons blue fireballs from parts of their body (Fingertips, palms, out of their mouth, tips of their tails) and through pyrokinesis, they control the trajectory of these fireballs or have them levitate; such control requires gestures. These blue flames are known as Ghost Fire, and they have the property of slipping through obstacles as long as they are not creatures. When intangible, these flames cannot burn.

Name: Burūmanto (ブルーマント, literally meaning "Blue Mantle")
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko
Rank: 1 (50 xpz)
Description: The user emits a cloak of blue flames around their entire body. Anything or anyone coming in contact are at risk of being burned. 

Name: Tērutōchi (テールトーチ, literally meaning "Tail Torch")
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko
Rank: 1 (50 xpz)
Description: The user set their tails ablaze with blue flames extending past the tails' tip like a blowtorch. By swinging the tails, the extended flames become like a pair of whips, burning any flammable entity that comes in contact. Through pyrokinesis, the user can cause the extending flames to meander, bend, and coil.

Name: Faiaringu (ファイアリング, literally meaning "Fire Ring")
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Bakeneko
Rank: 1 (50 xpz)
Description: The user touches the ground with the tips of their tails or the palm of their hands, casting two streaks of blue flames that runs along the ground and surrounds the target. The flames then rise upwards, trapping the target in a ring of fire, a wall of flames that surrounds them.

---

Technique Variations

Name: Enkurōzu (エンクローズ, literally meaning "Enclose")
Original: Faiaringu
Rank: 1 (Variation, Free)
Description: After Faiaringu is successfully casted, the user makes a slow clenching gesture with their hand as the ring of fire shrinks towards the center to envelop the target in flames.

Name: Mītia shawā (ミーティーアー シャウァー, literally meaning "Meteor Shower")
Original: Faiabōru
Rank: 2 (75 xpz)
Description: The user forms a massive blue fireball from their palm and launches it into the sky. The giant fireball levitates at a stationary spot as it rains down a myriad of smaller fireballs down below, covering a conical scope. Gradually, the levitating fireball shrinks down as it depletes its resources until it disappears.

Name: Shūtingu Sutā (シューティング スター, literally meaning "Shooting Star")
Original: Mītia shawā
Rank: 2 (Variation, Free)
Description: The user forms a massive blue fireball from their palm. After aiming towards a target, myriad of smaller fireballs shoots out from big fireball, covering a conical scope. Gradually, the fireball at their palm shrinks down as it depletes its resources until it disappears.

A Mythical Zoan offers a rebate of 250, and D-Class offers a rebate of 125. This covers the total cost of 325.

New Aspect: Pyrokinetic Compression - the ability to compress the Devil Fruit's generated flames into a denser form.
Cost: 350

---

Technique Variations

Name: Inpurōjon (インプロージョン, literally meaning "Implosion")
Original: Faiabōru
Rank: 2 (75 xpz) - Pyrokinetic Compression Aspect
Description: Stemming from the basic fireball technique, the user compresses the orb of ghostly blue fire down to a smaller size, increasing the concentration of heat and intensity of brightness. If a target is engulfed in a ball of fire, the user can cause the sphere to implode, casting an oppressive force to trap the target as pressurized flames compresses onto the target from every angle.

Name: Ekusupurōjon (エクスプロージョン, literally meaning "Explosion")
Original: Inpurōjon
Rank: 2 (Variation - Free) - Pyrokinetic Compression Aspect
Description: This technique uses the Inpurōjon technique as a set up. Once a ball of fire is compressed, the act of releasing that pressure causes an explosion where the flames quickly expands with an outward force like a bomb.

Name: Faiuwākusu(ファイオワークス, literally meaning "Fireworks")
Original: Mītia Shawā
Rank: 2 (Variation - Free)
Description: Mītia Shawā is a technique that hovers a giant fireball in the air which serves as the resource to rain down smaller fireballs down below. Faiuwākusu is a variation to this technique where it shoots out smaller fireballs outwards from all around its surface area, indiscriminately attacking from all sorts of angles - just like the sparks of a firework.

Name: Kēosu Sutōmu (ケーオス ストーム, literally meaning "Chaos Storm")
Original: Mītia Shawā/Shūtingu Sutā/Faiuwākusu
Rank: 3 (100 xpz) - Pyrokinetic Compression Aspect
Description: Mītia shawā, Shūtingu Sutā, and Faiuwākusu uses the concept of taking a large fireball as a resource to fire off smaller ones. 

Kēosu Sutōmu merely extends upon that concept with compression of flames. By first creating a giant compressed ball of fire, the user unleashes smaller compressed ball of fire that explodes upon either contact or user's control.

Name: Burū Furea (ブルー フレア, literally meaning "Blue Flare")
Original: Burūmanto
Rank: 2 (75 xpz)
Description: With Burūmanto being the basic technique of draping one's body in blue flames, Burū Furea temporarily expands that cloak into a sphere. From one perspective, she is encasing herself at the center of one of her own fireballs. This allows her to burn anyone or anything that comes within her vicinity.

Name: Supuritto (スプリット, literally meaning "Split")
Original: Tērutōchi
Rank: 1 (Variation - Free)
Description: With Tērutōchi allowing the user to extend her flames past the tips of her dual tails like a blow torch and manipulate it like a whip, Supuritto divides each trailing flames into two. Each tail possessing two trailing flames past the tip, she can control four of them, doubling the effectiveness.

Total Cost: 350 (Upgrade to C Class FiSt) + 75 (Rank 1 → 2) + 75 (Rank 1 → 2) + 100 (Rank 2 → 3) - 125 (Rebate from upgrade) = 475

Oh boy, we've got our work cut out for us. Let's cut to the chase, shall we?

• Ghost Scar
  Given Miu lacks a "Flying Slash"-like Aspect, I don't see any way for this Technique to, as you put it, "cause slicing [...] damage". Furthermore, even if she did have this Aspect, the slicing portion of this Technique's intended effect wouldn't be able to pass through inorganic matter the way the flames do, so...
• Bubble Fire
  I fail to see how this is a variant of the Technique it is supposedly a variant of - given the difference in actual, literal technique being used for the two, there's no support here for the two to be connected in this manner.
• Chaos Bubbles
  Once again, there is no supporting structure that implies this should be a variant of the Technique you're claiming it is a variant of.
• Blade Torch
  I understand what you're going for, but this is, again, a literally different technique from the one you're claiming it is a variant of.
• Technique Upgrade
  With the move to the new systems, "upgrading" techniques is no longer something that is supported. You can create a different Technique - perhaps an upgraded variant, or a similar same-rank technique, but you will not be able to change the original Split Technique the way you are attempting to.

All that said... I get the feeling that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how the current Technique system functions. I do not think this is the time or place for a full in-depth breakdown of how it functions, especially as I am not sure where the disconnect is; perhaps sometime soon, when we both have a chance, we could discuss it over Discord.

In the meantime... I could see Chaos Bubbles being a Rank 2 variant of Bubble Fire, given that Chaos Bubbles is using the same basic structure as Bubble Fire - Miu utilizing her fishing net to distribute mass amounts of her fireballs - and then adding in the Pyrokinetic Compression Aspect to create a new, specialized effect.

My suggestion aside, you'll need to go back to the drawing board and re-tally your expenditure. Once you think you have it figured out again, let us know and we can continue with the approval process for Miu's new techniques.

[BlacKitten]

Changes:

• Ghost Scar - Removed
• Bubble Fire - New Technique
• Blade Torch - New Technique
• Chaos Bubbles - Variation of Bubble Fire (Rank 2)
• Split - Moved to Variation
• Recalulation - 300 X-Poinz

[Jade]

Okay, this is looking a lot better! I'll give these the stamp of approval; make sure you update Miu's profile accordingly.

Name: First Paw - Stealth Hunt
Fighting Style: Copycat 
Rank: 2
Description: Miu accelerates across a distance at monstrous speeds. To the untrained eyes, her motion would either appear as a blur or simply vanished from sight - akin to the Soru technique. Like the step from a cat's paw, this techniques grants her an eerily silent footstep.

Name: Hamster Ball
Fighting Style: Neko Neko no Mi, Model Bakeneko
Rank: 2 (Pyrokinetic Compression Aspect)
Description: - Miu compresses the internal flames of a fireball outward towards the surface, hollowing it out. After trapping herself inside, she runs around like a hamster, rolling the sphere to leave behind a trail of flames. The 'shell' of the sphere can hamper incoming attacks, but not necessarily stop those of higher velocity or raw power. By uncompressing the fireball, she can cause it explode outwards, giving the false appearance of self-destruction.

<sup>Hi Kiwi!

So, first thing’s first. Your intended upgrade from Copycat to Nekojutsu won’t really fly as is, simply because you’re basically reinventing the entire style’s premise to accommodate for the use of a shortsword, to make it a primary focus that wasn’t originally intended? This will, as a result, likely need to become an entirely separate FiSt. On a similar note, the new Projection Aspect could do with a little more detail than what’s already there, just to explain what exactly it is that’s being projected? I see the description is within other techniques, but it does need to be within the Aspect itself.</sup>

[BlacKitten]

Ah, I didn't know that. Very well, I have divided hand-to-hand and weapon play into two separate FiSt.

I have added a bit more detail to the description to the aspect, indicating that I'm referring to projection of air itself such as the classic air slashes that so many people can do.

[Vio]

<sup>Alright, now that that’s sorted and the weapon in question is dealt with, here’s the verdict on what you’ve got going on here.

The bulk of this looks A-OK, however, the Techniques that explicitly use the Devil Fruit’s flames would likely have to become Rank 3 Variation Techniques — you’re adding something to them. A Flying Slash that burns is significantly more complicated than just a Flying Slash.

In addition, I’d like some clarification on the “certain level of protection” that Hamster Ball provides. Based on the original Aspect itself, it seems like it’d hamper incoming attacks, but not necessarily stop those of higher velocity or raw power?

Please make the appropriate edits.</sup>

[BlacKitten]

I have upgraded the flaming variations to Rank 3.

I have added "The 'shell' of the sphere can hamper incoming attacks, but not necessarily stop those of higher velocity or raw power." to the Hamster Ball technique.

[Vio]

^{Alright, after looking over these again, they seem A-OK. I’ll deduct the Account Rebate as appropriate, so please update Miu’s profile with the info!}
