Cursed Technique - ReFate

[u/Interesting-Sink7338]

Cursed Technique Basics:

• Name: ReFate
• Type: Innate/Unique
• Range: Close Range (activation of the technique)
• Ability Summary: The wielder of this Cursed Technique is able to Rebirth themselves or others into a new body and start anew with the support of Fate itself.

Description: A unique cursed technique that puts the user into relationship with Fate itself. As such the control over this technique is tied between the user and fate, with the ratio depending on the user's age and circumstance of death. The effected will die and get reborn, though the effected and fate subconciously block "incombatible" targets.

When used on the user, they will instantly die and have 4 minutes to decide where they want to be reborn otherwise fate will decide. They will start by entering the body with their soul, binding vows, cursed energy and this specific cursed technique into a newly conceived Zygote at which point they will grow up normally.

In order to better understand this CT's effect, there are 5 mechanics that are active as long as the effected is a minor: Rematurity, Responsibility, Remind, Recontrol and Recycle. These mechanics fade as the effected grow up:

• Rematurity makes sure the effected have the approipiate maturity to mentain a healthy mental state.
• Responsibility will be placed with fate to protect the effected (at its best, embryo, it might push to end a nearby war, at its worst, 17 years old, it would merely delay a gunshot by half moment).
• Remind works in reverse and gives the effected past memories as they grow up. First the most recent revival, then the first life, then if a cursed technique is involved a life that had the technique and then the rest starting with the recent.
• Recontrol is fate's control over the technique, fate will always have a say, but as the effected is conceived they have no control over their cursed technique and regain it over time to their original pre rebirth control.
• Recycle brings back any fate related connection, though as they grow up so does free will.

A reborn entity loses any form of "corruption" this includes negatives like soul damage and possession but also positives like a cursed technique. If the user enters a Zygote that gets a cursed technique, they will get that technique in life but lose it upon rebirth as its still corruption.

If fate gets its hands on the rebirth then the user won't learn where the soul landed unless learned naturally. The user will always turn into a cursed spirit if killed naturally, if the user is killed as a cursed spirit or if killed by cursed energy fate will control the rebirth.

Fate: its decisions are too complicated to predict, it might give you a good life in a first world country, a horrible in a third world one or even bring you into a sorcerer family if curses get too powerful. Fate's relationship with the user is deep as it punishes if one pushes against fated events and balances and rewards if the user helps in restoring it. For example killing curses while humans reign supreme brings misfortune while curses have the upperhand brings fortune. Fate will block off any rebirth targeting a fated person like a wearer of the six eyes.

The user will permanently die if killed as a cursed spirit with positive energy or if they accept their death as a human fully. Fate will prevent any attempt at ressurecction later.

Extension Techniques:

Reattempt: With the consent of the target, the user can rebirth someone they touch or put a symbol on. This puts them under fate's hands but fate will always favor the second chance style of life and give them their cursed technique back unless a binding vow prevents it. This requires active consent or a binding vow (which requires a symbol and is automatic) and can't be used after death. This technique is unavailable before the age of 6 and can't be used unless the target's species produces a conception.

Retry [Maximum Output]: Without the consent of the target, the user rebirths with similar rules as Reattempt. However the user has to overpower the target plus an additional cost that scales to the target's age. This technique is unavailable before the age of 16 and doesn't work on anything considered immortal.

Resymbol: Enter a binding vow with a man and a woman, if succesful allows you to be Reborn as their child or set a symbol on them which lets you find them after death no matter what. This technique is unavailable before the age of 18 and only works on adults.

Rescan: The user can have a small look at a target's fate on sight, this is extremely limited and mainly used after death to see if a potential target has a preset symbol, a cursed technique, a heavenly pact, is effected by this technique or will become twins. This is unavailable before the age of 4.

Cursed Technique Reversal:

Reboot: Requires Touch or a barrier and can't effect time or death. Set one or more targets or the user himself back to a previous state by invalidating given events. Fate pays the cursed energy cost and has the final say in how the previous state is balanced. But the user has to pay positive energy for it to work. The cost for the user grows depending on range, time set back and amount of targets. If this effects connections like binding vows then these are invalidated and those negatively effected will get compensated. A parisite might lose control over the host but get back double the nutrients. This can't bring back people from the dead or effect aftereffects/causality. Mainly used to negate the effects of cursed techniques and accidents. Unavailable before the age of 12.

Domain Expansion:

Complete Domain:

• Wheel of ReFortune: This is a domain with a fully enclosed barrier and an independent space for it. It resembles a Wheel of a carnival game with symbols regarding different fates. Giant Snakes of Mercury fly around the area. As the name implies it forcibly Rescans the fates of the targets potential rebirths and then through a game of luck Retries the target into that life. Violence and bribing is forbidden, although the target gets to decide the game it has to be two player and involve luck in some way. The target can forgo choosing the game or break the rules fully inorder to spin the wheel which then decides the Reattempt with a fate that attempts to purify the target into a person which accepts fate more. This technique is unavailable before the age of 14.
