▰ Forbidden Seals System:
Forbidden Seals or Juunin are a deviation of Fuuinjutsu, designed to artificially allow its bearers to access and use Nature Energy. The seals strengthen the body to the point that its wielders are considered on par with shinobi of sage mode capabilities. The seals passively draw in nature energy from the surrounding environment to fuel itself. This artificial style of bringing about these changes are reviled by the various summoning species and considered corrupted and impure.

Any bearer of a Forbidden Seal is considered to be an abomination by the summoning species and the bearer would never be allowed to sign a contract, maintain a contract, be considered as a scroll holder, or be a prospective animal sage mode trainee. The summoning species consider Forbidden Seals so abominable because the majority of its first generation recipients were power-hungry madmen who quickly abused their new found power. Thus, now the summoning species view all bearers with suspicion and contempt.

Forbidden Seals are now, a practically lost art. Cropping up in old musty nearly forgotten scrolls and hidden away in now dead villages. There is one horrifying aspect to the Forbidden Seals. If forcibly applied to another person, the creator is forcibly inserting their own chakra into the seal as well. This allows the creator to always maintain a degree of knowledge on the bearer's location and strength.

▰ Rules:
• Forbidden Seals have three stages: Dormant, Awakened, & Unleashed.
• Read more here to read the rules about how demons, sage mode, forbidden seals, and golden dragon marks interact.
• Each Forbidden Seal is customized upon creation and its choices decided then. These cannot be changed at a later point in time.
• Forbidden Seals are containers for Nature Energy.
• Forbidden Seals do not absorb Nature Energy while the host is in either the awoken or unleashed states.
• The prospective bearer must have a C-ranked body in order to survive the process of acquiring a Forbidden Seal and later activating its Unleashed Stage.
• If you have a Forbidden Seal then you cannot sign or keep a summoning contract.
• While Forbidden Seals offer incredible power to any who obtain them they do have significant drawbacks in their use. If the awoken stage is used then there are no drawbacks but if the unleashed stage is used then all stats are set to [-4] for [5] posts after the Forbidden Seal is fully unleashed and made dormant. The forbidden seal may not be accessed again until the [5] posts are up.
• Each RPC is only capable of possessing 1 Forbidden Seal.
• The rpc can gain a Forbidden Seal in one of two ways: discovering and mastering the Forbidden Seal Technique or being a victim of the Forced Seal Technique.

Forced Seal Technique [ Kansen-shō ] | Rank A | Spiritual
A powerful technique that allows the user to force a Forbidden Seal onto another person. Once the chakra is placed within them, the seal forms and forces the victim to engage in the process. They are knocked unconscious as their body forcibly adapts to the newfound power. This is due to the presence of an alternative energy source that protects the prospective victim.
