About Invulnerability

[Ren]

I was wondering if story wise it would be acceptable to be able to make him desify the area in his ears to block out sound. Kind like using ones muscle as an ear plug so to speak.

Also could a staffer give me their take on how this ability actually works?

Invulnerability - Using ki to increase a person's physical density can increase one's resilience to both physical and ki attacks. This increased density, however, makes it far more difficult to move.

Density is a physical characteristic, and is a measure of mass per unit of volume of a material or substance.

Sound is manipulated by Wind Ki Elemental users. What are you going to do? increase the Density in the eardrum? If a Wind user has a move to alter Pitch and Frequency, don't you think they could alter it with different sound vibrations to still affect you?

[Kaden]

What are you going to do? increase the Density in the eardrum?

That actually makes perfect sense to me.

[Ren]

Basically yes, just to the point where it seems there is no room or opening after the entry. A blockade so to speak. It is like making him deaf as if his ears were almost just for show.

Invulnerability doesn't control the actual increase of mass, but the density, which would make flesh and such, more solid in a better sense. Then again, the only thing making the ear drum more denser, would do is muffle a high pitched sound or deafen yourself, but it's already been explained to me that using such sound tactics in a custom move, wouldn't be 100% effective, so it's a bit of a mute point(no pun intended) in the end isn't it?

Just to state this for later confusing I will be having size increase which covers muscle size and what not. As for that I am meaning for things like annoying whistles or high pitched screaming not some sort of super sonic vibration.

[Kaden]

Increasing the density of the ear drums (making them less motile) would decrease one's ability to hear. Doing it to the point where the ear drums were completely immobile, would erase one's ability to hear entirely.

Note, though, that a Custom Tech is needed to solidify single body parts at a time.

'Size Increase', or more MASS has NOTHING to do with Invulnerability.

I believe only BODY SIZE CONTROL is the only tech that involves such things.

DENSITY is MASS divided by Volume, IRC(Meh I checked and yes it is) Kaden's point is a more valid theory but it seems it's not what your asking.

To me it seems that you think you become Bigger in muscle mass, but I dont think that is correct. When I see Invul. I think of someone become more... Solid or, even hardened flesh. Technically Vad has a Custom Tech that is similiar to Invul, actually.

Maybe I'm reading things wrong here, but it seems that Kaden and Kiso are having totally separate ideas on what Invul. is.

I state this more as a point, becauseI'd hate Kiso to think he can become ... a GIant with INvul. without BSC...

Also, I do have a question....

Sonic waves ... they'd be related to wind/sound Ki right?

[Sage]

Given that Kaden was saying the bones would become so dense they couldn't move, and not 'so massive that they'd block the ear canal,' he's still right. If something is so impossibly dense it cannot be moved (and in this case it doesn't even have to be that heavy; they're sound waves), then it... won't move.

Neutron stars are absurdly dense, and they're relatively tiny.

Basically, he's just going to make the ear bones so heavy they won't budge under the 'force' of the sound wave.

[Ashe]

To add to what Sage said... Pretty much the ears will be so dense and immovable that you can't vibrate them. It'd be like tossing a tennis ball at a wall made of silly string, and then later tossing it at the same wall to find that its now brick.

[Ren]

My question has been answered and my theory of how it would work approved. Kaden if I need a trademark I will get one approved for when I get the chance to use it.
