Concept: Susanoo is a manifestation of its user's drive and willpower, a congregation of raw eldritch energy given form that is meant to mimic and match the power of a god. Rather than being a unique talent, it is passed on from user to user at the time of death, either through direct selection by the current user at the time, or through circumstance as somebody else happens upon it At its base level it appears to be a specialized full-body suit of armor that provides basic enhancements to the wearer's physical attributes, but has additional reserve powers and functions that are initially locked off, referred to as "stages", of which there are twelve. These functions are locked by "seals" of equal number, and with each broken seal the power of the talent grows. Stages are divided up into four pairs of three, each a tier of its own, and can typically only be accessed by increasing one's strength through battle, training and emotional turmoil. It is traditionally thought of as growing more powerful with its users hatred, loathing and despair, but can in fact be fed by any emotions - the primary emotions of the user are further enhanced the more one ascends the talent's stages, until they eventually become all-encompassing and completely overtake the user's drive and willpower, essentially leaving them a puppet to their own talent, at least in the case of negative emotions.
The "stages" and seals are as follows.
Stage One (Amaterasu), Seal of Fire -
Stage Two (Moreya), Seal of Earth -
Stage three (Kojin), Seal of Heaven -
Stage Four (Izanagi), Seal of Ascension -
Stage Five (Kuebiko), Seal of Knowledge -
Stage Six (Suijin), Seal of Water -
Stage Seven (Izanmi), Seal of Death -
Stage Eight (Uzume), Seal of Rebirth -
Stage Nine (Mikoto), Seal of Sky -
Stage Ten (Ebisu), Seal of Rejection -
Stage Eleven (Kagutsuchi), Seal of Release -
Stage Twelve (Kamui), Seal of Divine Authority -
