CT: Soul Divergence/Twin Souls

Version 1

Soul divergence

The technique allows the user to split their soul into 2 seperate bodies/beings independent from eachother, this process takes anywhere from 15 seconds to 30 minutes with mutations/defects possibly appearing if done in a very short time, mutations such as extra or less fingers, toes, eyes, feet, hands, arms etc or blindness in one or more eyes etc etc.

You could split yourself into 2 and deal with a threat you couldn't with before

These split souls are called 'fragments'

Both fragments aren't at half their strength like an actual split person would be, they both have around 70% of the original users strength, speed, durability etc each, though this slowly pushes back to 100% each with enough time seperate for Animogenesis to begin (cool word I made basically means birth of the soul or in this case development of the soul halves)

Animogenesis; though the longer these 2 'Fragmentations' live as seperate entities/people the more their soul develops into it's own soul seperate from the other, so after a few days/weeks instead of both souls combined being 100% the original person/user it's 200% soul, both fragments' souls developed into fully formed souls, keeping their original half but developing a second half.

The user can fuse their fragments together to form the original person like normal though if they do it after full Animogenesis has happened the resulting fusion will be vastly different from the original form; Chimera (this is a placeholder for now), a chimera is effectively 2 full souls forcefully fused together, the end result is a super mutated version of the original user, with a large increase in size and frame due to the bones combing increasing in mass and density, muscle density and mass also has a dramatic increase.

A Chimera is more than twice as strong as the normal user, or the 2 fragments combined, with further increased speed, durability etc

Though it's not all sunshines and rainbows, A Chimera fusion isn't a regular human, due to the fusion of 2 full souls defects/mutilations can appear such as but not limited to; extra or less fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes, noses, bones, certain regions of the brain, a lack or increase of hair on the head and body.

Due to the souls being combined it's a single consciousness in the Chimera that being a fusion of the full fragment souls but that doesnt always mean that it's a single consciousness, if regions of the brain mutate / seperate a do

and if they try to combine when it's effectively 2 souls now it causes the fused body to be vastly different from the normal fused body/user, I mean that as in much larger size, much larger frame/bones, much larger muscle mass and density, with mutations/failed fusions appearing such as eg an extra finger on one hand and one less on the other or an extra toe on a hand or an extra finger on the foot, an extra nose fused with the standard one, being blind in one eye, or having one extra, having another/extra limb (usually fully functional though less durable and smaller range of motion than the standard limb equivalent), while the 'defects'/mutations are weird if they fully fuse these 2 souls the body I just mentioned with the mutations has extreme strength speed and durabilit

There's a person who can split their soul in half and into 2 seperate bodies who are independent of eachother and can fuse together again turning into the normal person, but the longer these 2 'users' spend apart the more the halves of the souls develop their own half to fill the gap, effectively splitting a soul and then the 2 halves forming another part to become a full soul again, and if they try to combine when it's effectively 2 souls now it causes the fused body to be vastly different from the normal fused body/user, I mean that as in much larger size, much larger frame/bones, much larger muscle mass and density, with mutations/failed fusions appearing such as eg an extra finger on one hand and one less on the other or an extra toe on a hand or an extra finger on the foot, an extra nose fused with the standard one, being blind in one eye, or having one extra, having another/extra limb (usually fully functional though less durable and smaller range of motion than the standard limb equivalent), while the 'abnormalities'/mutations are weird if they fully fuse these 2 souls the body I just mentioned with the mutations has extreme strength speed and durability.

Version 2.

Twin souls

The general same idea though it's twins like 2 actual seperate people who have the same technique and can fuse into the 2 soul thing I mentioned, thought without the half souls forming their own thing as it's 2 ful souls already

I think I've accidentally used the word 'defect' when explaining the mutation thing and I'm sorry if that offends any of you

CT: Guardians Symbolism

Allows the user to summon a Komainu-like shikigami to aid them, be that in battle, or in aid

'Komainu' known as lion-dogs or dog-guardians in English are guardian statues built in or around Buddhist temples and act as watchdogs who ward off evil (spirits)

A Komainu has no fixed form compared to other shikigami, a Komainu takes appearance of what the user perceives a Komainu as, if they believe Komainu are a species who are all identical and have a specific appearance then every Komainu summoned will be like what the user imagines them to be like, if the user has a more ambiguous idea of what a Komainu looks like then the appearence, height and temparement of every Komainu summoned will differ be that a little bit or alot compared to a previously summoned Komainu

The shikigami is almost entirely based off of the users perception of what a Komainu is, though some things are steadfast that being it's a lion-dog like being, other than that every other part of it's appearence, temparement and abilities are based off of the users idea,

If they believe a Komainu isn't a fighting esc shikigami and is moreso a large sleeping animal that ONLY wards off cursed spirits and stops them from being within the general vicinity then if they summon a Komainu it will be so, if they believe a Komainu is a large ferocious animal that is extremely aggressive to cursed spirits then the Summoned Komainu will be like that.

You can push the physicalities or mystical abilities of the shikigami pretty high but there is a ceiling, you can't have your Komainu be indestructible and extremely strong, there's usually an equalizer, eg if you believe your Komainu is indestructble then it doesn't fight but instead indireftly does something like ward off cursed spirits.

the big catch is it's what you fully believe a Komainu is or is like, you can't just think 'oh a Komainu can destroy planets', it's only what you truly believe it is, and while that perception/idea can be vague/ambiguous it can only be so strong/fast/durable

The user can only summon 1 Komainu at a time

If the Komainu is still physically summoned/alive after the user has died it will live up to years after it's original users' death and will usually gravitate around Buddhist temples.

Komainu are usually visible to normal people though this can also not be case if the user believes so.

changes in perception/idea happen only when a Komainu is not being watched or when dormant/non summoned/active

Your Komainu can't change forms in the middle of a fight.

Though with binding vows anything is practically possible

Still working on the name, if you have any recommendations please tell them
