Rules on Demon Summons.

There will now be an avalibility to summon demons, this taking its foundation from the Bartimaeus Triogy. This will enable you to summon other worldy beings, refured to as Demons, that can aid you in battle. To summon a demon, you must first post the demon in Da Script. This is the place where all of the information on Everones demons will be kept. You do not add them to your jutsu or weapons lists. In posts following this, I will explain how to create, summon, and control a demon. There are 5 ranks of demons, depending on power and ability. See next posts for more info.

Here I will deal with the general powers and ranks of the demons.

Ranks

Imp: Least of all the demons, are quite short, and usually are quite mischievious. Powers do not reach to the elemental level. Can use basic Demon spells.

Foliots: Second rank of demons, they are a bit more powerful than imps, but still are lower. Can only use one element of the summoner, but is very weak at it. Can use almost all the Demons spells.

Djinn: Third from the bottom or top, these are the most common demons summoned. They can use two elements of the summoner, and can cast all the demonic spells.

Afrits: Less common than the Djinn, but more powerful. They can cast all Demon spells. They can use three elements of the summoner as well, if they have three. ((If the summoner only has 2, then the Afrit can only use those 2))

Marids: The least common of all demons, and the most powerful. Can only be summoned by the most expirienced, since they tend to be able to get out of hand. Can use all the demonic spells. Can use all of the summoners elements, and can also use a additional element of its own.

Summoning Ranks

Not just anyone can summon a Marid. Depending on your given rank, you will only be able to summon a certain ranked demon. This is because if a genin summoned a Marid, the demon would kill them, without much problem. Demons are not very happy to be summoned, and get any chance they can to try and kill the summoner, and become free. Once a demon is summoned, the demon is tied to teh summoner, so that it creates a special bond, in which cannot be broken unless certain conditions are met. 1.the summoner dimisses the demon, who then travels back to the Other Place, and awaits to be summoned again. 2. if the summoner is killed before he or she can dismiss the demon, in which case the demon is free to walk the earth, until they are either captured, and dismissed forcefully, or bonded to another summoner, or killed. Demons can die, which means they arnt invinsible. So if your Demon dies in a epic battle or mission,(any place where you can die really) they they are gone, and their pade in Da Script will be labeled Deceased, and they cannot be summoned by anyone. If a person should die, and their demon is in the Other Place, then their demon can be summoned by anyone, and will be labeled At Large or something like that. All other demons will be labeled by who summons them, so if they are labeled as someone elses, then you can't summon that persons demon.

Now, here are the ranks in which demons can be summoned.

Genin: Can only summon imps

Chuunin: Can summon imps, and foliots.

Jounin: Can summon imps, foliots, and djinn.

Anbu: Can summon imps, foliots, djinn, and afrits.

Kage/Sannin: Can summon all levels of demons.

Now, there is a cap on how many demons you can summon, and of what level they can be. A person can only summon 1 of their highest demon rank to summon. Example: Jounin can only summon 1 Djinn. Chuunin can only summon 1 Foliot. People also have a cap on how many demons you have to summon.

Genin: 3, all imps.

Chuunin: 4, only one can be a Foliot.

Jounin: 5, only one can be a Djinn.

Anbu: 6, only one can be a Afrit.

Kage: 7, only one can be a Marid.

This means that if you are a genin, and have three imps, and you rank up to say Jounin, you cannot summon three Foliots, and one Djinn automaticly. You keep the demons you have, unless you abandon them.

Abandonment

In this case, if you wish to abandon one of your demons, which you can do at anytime. Abandonment means giving up your rights to the demon, and letting it possibly pass to someone else. There will be a seperate list in Da Script, made, and kept up by me, that will entail all of the Abandoned Demons, this list will be for those who wish to summon, and mark a new demon as their own, if they dont make their own. You may do this at amytime, but once its done, the demon is fair game to whoever can summon it.

Battle

In battle, you may only summon a certain number of your demons, which means if you have like 5 with a Jounin, you cant summon all of them during a battle.

Genin: Can only summon 1 of their 3 during battle.

Chuunin: Can summon only 1 of their 4 during battle.

Jounin: Can summon only 2 of their 5 during battle.

Anbu: Can summon only 2 of their 6 during battle.

Kage/Sannin: Can only Summon 3 of their 7 durning battle.

If you wish to summon a different demon during a battle, and you already have summoned one, you may dismiss the one summoned, and then summon the one you want to. However, you may only do this once per 2 postings. If you dismiss a demon, and then summon another, you must wait another 2 of your postings to dismiss and summon another. If you have summoned one, and your cap is over one, you can summon another at any time. Example: fight with # vs. %

# has summoned has a demon summoned, and its his turn to post. He dismisses his demon, and summons another.
% post turn.
# post turn.
% post turn.
# turn, here he can switch demons again, if he so choses.

During battle, you demon has certain abilities that are usually dependant on a few things...
1. its rank
2. its summoner
3. its page in Da Script.

The page in Da Script is the demons offical jutsu list persay. Demons dont have weapons, only powers.

Summoning

There is a specific place where one will go to claim, or abandon a demon. Known as The Tower, it is the only place in which these two things can take place. Here, you must have a specially trained summoner to help you cast the summon, and trap and claim/abandon the demon. If you go and do this somewhere else, you could end up killed off by the attempt, unless given special permission. Summoning demons is no walk in the park. They are dangerous until properly Claimed, and when done so, are bonded to the summoner, and must obey the summoner, or i.e. "master" of them.

If there are any questions concerning this, please P.M. me for more info, or clarification.

Note: People who have demonic powers, or are demons themselves, these are bonded demons, unlike yourselves, they come from a special dimension, that is not Hell, or Hades, or the Underworld. The dimension is called the Other Place, and cannot be visited...unless you wish to die, or become a bonded demon yourself...
