Liquidized Snake Venom (Kiyoshi/Sayuri)

Name of Item: Needle Bracelet
Owners: Sayuri Hikaru | Kiyoshi Hikaru
Locations:Right Wrist (Sayuri) Left Wrist (Kiyoshi)
Rank: C (Poison ranks below)

Description/Abilities: Each bracelet holds 130 needles in all, half on the top of it and half on the bottom of it. Each needle is specifically designed for a snake venom poison while a few is designed for the antidotes (64 Hemotoxin needles, 43 Tetrodoxin, 20 Myotoxins and 3 for each antidote). The pouches are cloth externally, but internally, they are made of glass and metal to prevent poison from leaking out. The needle pouches also double as poison veals which hold 10 drops of each venom.

History: Sayuri Hikaru originally made the bracelets in her teenage years in order to get better access to her poison rather than just stick a kunai/senbon into a vial and risking infection on herself and an ally. On top of that, the bracelets' seemingly natural design would surely catch an opponent off guard while being fashionable at the same time. After teaching Kiyoshi the secrets behind her snake venom, Sayuri gave her left bracelet to Kiyoshi, despite the protests of it being colorful in appearance and promised to make his very own with his style of color. Though she never did get around to it, Kiyoshi still wears the bracelet during battle.

Name: Hemotoxins
Rank: B
Appearance: Middle
Description: Toxins that destroy red blood cells (that is, cause hemolysis), disrupt blood clotting, and cause organ degeneration and generalized tissue damage. The term hemotoxin is to some degree a misnomer since toxins that damage the blood also damage other tissues. Injury from a hemotoxic agent is often very painful and can cause permanent damage. Loss of an affected limb is possible even with prompt treatment.

Antidote Healing: 6 hours
Infection Round:
Round One: Headache
Round Two: Nausea
Round Three: Disorientation
Round Four: Extreme Fatigue/Pain
Round Five: Immobilization /Extreme Pain
Round Six: Loss of Consciousness
Round Seven: Loss of Limb

Name: Tetrodotoxin
Rank: A
Appearance: Right
Description: Tetrodotoxin is a potent neurotoxin with no known antidote. There have been successful tests of a possible antidote in mice, but further tests must be carried out to determine efficacy in humans. Tetrodotoxin blocks action potentials in nerves by binding to the pores of the voltage-gated, fast sodium channels in nerve cell membranes, essentially preventing any affected nerve cells from firing by blocking the channels used in the process. The binding site of this toxin is located at the pore opening of the voltage-gated Na+ channel. 14 drops can contain levels of tetrodotoxin sufficient to produce paralysis of the diaphragm and death due to respiratory failure. Toxicity varies between dosage and seasons/geograpic location (I.e. Cold winter in Kumo can slow the process) and a normal one dosage may not usually be dangerously toxic. It is not always entirely fatal; however, at near-lethal doses, it can leave a person in a state of near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious.

Antidote Healing: 12 hours
Infection Round: To proceed from one round to another, one dosage (2 drops) has to be taken
Round One: Pain
Round Two: Extreme Pain
Round Three: Paralysis
Round Four: Verge of life and death (Still conscious)
Round Five: Loss of Consciousness
Round Six: Coma (3-6 weeks)
Round Seven: Death

Medical Use: Blocking of fast Na+ channels has potential medical use in treating some cardiac arrhythmias if mixed with the right ingredients. Tetrodotoxin has proved useful in the treatment of pain from such diverse problems as terminal cancer, migraines, and etc.


Name: Myotoxins
Rank: S
Appearance: Left
Description: Myotoxins are small, basic peptides found in snake venoms. This involves a non-enzymatic mechanism that leads to severe muscle necrosis. These peptides act very quickly, causing instantaneous paralysis to prevent prey from escaping and eventually death due to diaphragmactic paralysis

Antidote Healing: 24 hours
Infection Round:
Round One:Paralysis
Round Two: Death

History : Back in her prime, Sayuri Hikaru had a reputation for using Snake Venom as a potent poison, so much that she was once called by the name "Princess Venom" a long time ago. The venom studies were taught to her by her clan as they specialized in many things involving snakes. Since retiring however, Sayuri has long since abandoned that name and all association with it. She did however pass on the knowledge on how to make said poison to her son, Kiyoshi, once she started teaching him the poison aspects of his medical training. Since starting back as a medic, Sayuri keeps samples of them as well as antidotes in her office.

Okay, everything seems to be in order. I approve these for training.
