Rin's Familiar

[Renada Rin]

Black Lion

Familiar Name: Rasta
Rank: D [Small] or A [Large]

Appearance:

This is Rasta in his chibi form. He has bright blue eyes, a fluffy mane and tail-tip, and all of his fur is black. He is pudgier and rounder in this form, more apparent fluff than muscle, and often carried around by Rin in this form.

This is Rasta in his ultimate form. The pulses of his raiton chakra can be seen running the course of his body, casting off a glow in darkness. His eyes are blue and intelligent, and his fur is black, a bit of grey around the muzzle.

Rin is smaller than the man shown.

Personality:

Rasta is an intelligent creature, and fiercely loyal to both Rin and those she identifies as “friend.” He is playful and obedient, but he does have his moody times where he just does not want to be touched and hates everyone and will bite you if you come anywhere near him. However, he fears biting Rin (with reason, those damn crystals...), and will cower if he truly angers her and causes her to scold him. He is known to pounce individuals, but he will never harm a creature he has not been given permission to attack, be it a pet, human, or prey. He is not, however, above scaring the bajeebers out of someone or something he feels distaste for, even if he's not going to actually hurt them.

Special Abilities:

The most radical and obvious ability Rasta possesses is the ability to change his physical form. Once fed a soldier pill, the beast grows to the size of a large adult lion, capable of both being ridden and fighting in combat. Both with growing and shrinking, Rasta's fur goes ablaze with static arcs. Like his master, Rasta is a close-range fighter, however he possesses some mid-range abilities. He can somewhat manipulate raiton chakra, and can inject electricity into the target with both bites and claws, as well as absorb any and all incoming raiton jutsu. If he rears up and stomps the ground with his paws, sticking the claws into the earth will cause snakes of lightning to go from his paws and arc towards the closest target. This move is reserved for when he's away from comrades, however, as he has a chance of hitting them with the arcs of lightning. He is known to use his tail as a lightning rod to absorb even more electric energy to use. At the most, Rasta's raiton attacks can cause electricity burns and stunning, but it is not deadly. However, a lion only needs just enough time to reach its target to make a kill.

However, in his full form, Rasta keeps his form with his chakra and what was provided to him in the soldier pill. While he can switch between forms at will and command, the duration the large form is dependent on the amount of chakra he possesses. Rasta doesn't possess a large amount of chakra. In full combat using his lightning abilities, Rasta can last about ten minutes before succumbing to exhaustion. He is able to use and convert any incoming raiton and electricity into immediate raiton counterattacks, however if not immediately ejected, it will not be usable.

When not in combat, the large form can last considerably longer without needing to maintain his chakra for battle purposes. Generally he uses his large form outside of battle either as a mount or for play.

In his small form, Rasta has no abilities aside from the standard biting and scratching any animal possesses, unable to utilize the raiton chakra within himself. When the large form runs out of chakra, he will normally resort to the small form on his own before harm befalls himself; however if he's over-expended or rendered unconscious, he will also return to his small form against his will.
