Fighting Styles [WIP]

Basic Information

Fighting Styles are generally what distinguish a character in combat.  Most characters are limited to one, except S-Ranks who have mastered one, who can also learn a second.  They are how characters access most of their most powerful techniques

Fighting Styles include all Kekkei Genkai and Hiden Jutsu, Jinchuuriki powers, powerful jutsu used often throughout combat such as Lightning Release Armor and Earth Grudge Fear, and distinctive approaches to combat such as a focus on Genjutsu.  Connected clan abilities, such as the Hyuuga's Byakugan and Gentle Fist, will take one Fighting Style slot together.  However, separated clan abilities, such as the Senju's large chakra pools and affinity to learn jutsu (one slot together) and their Wood Release (another slot) may require both slots to learn both.

Fighting Styles may include just a single D-Rank version, or a D-Rank, C-Rank, and A-Rank versions, or any combination.  Fighting Styles are the ONLY way ANY character can have passive benefits.

Learning Fighting Styles

Fighting Styles are one of the few things on the site that cannot be bought with NRC.  When learning Fighting Styles, one must start with the lowest ranked available version and train through/earn each rank in order.  To learn each fighting style, one must simply meet the requirements listed in the fighting style's application; in some (very few) cases such as the Hyuuga's Byakugan, the user may even start with it.

Characters may "forget" a fighting style by learning another in its place; even Kekkei Genkai. However, to regain their old fighting style, they must meet all the requirements again. For Kekkei Genkai like the Byakugan, whose first level requirement is to be born with it, it would be impossible to regain the Byakugan for the character.
