WHAT ARE KNIGHTS?

Knight's are warriors much unlike the ninja. While they may seem very different however the fundamental ability to control energies within their bodies are the same. The ninja call this energy Chakra and use it to perform ninjutsu. The Knights however, possibly through their beliefs and setting, have taken to calling this energy mana, and they use it to perform magic. While one does not have to have mana to become a knight it is a fundamental ability among the highest ranking knights. The Knights come from a land called Camelot, a very different land to the one of the ninja world, with towering castles and large cities.

KNIGHT RANKINGS

Knights are ranked on a different system than ninja, but it is very similar in some ways:
1.Grand Commander - Highest Rank held by a single knight, Currently it is the King of Camelot, Arthur Pendragon
2.Constable - Second Highest Rank, Currently there are 13 positions like this
3.Knight Commander - The equivalent of the Jonin rank
4.Knight - The Equivalent of the chunin ranks
5.Squire - The equivalent of the genin rank
6.Page - Beginner rank for Nobel families, pages are considered a step above retainers due to their upbringings
7.Retainer - Should a commoner make it through the knight training school and show the basic practices of chivalry then they are taken into the fold as a retainer and put to the test to see if they have what it takes to become a knight.

CODE OF CHIVALRY

Knights are trained to always follow a code of chivalry, which has the following main principles:
Fair Play: Never Attack an Unarmed foe, Never attack from behind, avoid cheating, avoid torture.
Nobility: exhibit self discipline, show respect to authority, obey the law, administer justice, protect the innocent, respect others
Valor: Exhibit courage in word and deed, avenge the wronged, defend the weak and innocent, fight with honor, never abandon a friend, ally, or noble cause
Honor: always keep one's word, always maintain one's principles, never betray a confidence or comrade, avoid deception, respect life
Courtesy: exhibit manners, be polite and attentive, be respectful of host, authority, and all people
Loyalty: To Sovereign, To Country, and to the Code of Chivalry!

MAGIC

Magic is the same as ninjutsu in theory, though in practice not so much. While one does still draw on their own energies (Which is called Mana instead of chakra in this case) and stamina, the process of doing so is different. Instead of the use of hand signs to focus one’s energies Magic uses words or phrases in order to achieve this. For Example Should a Knight Chant “Flame to my hand, Ignis” it would produce a ball of fire in his or her hand. By changing up the words or by making the chant more complex Knights can use higher forms of magic. While Many types of magic exist the ones that the knights use fall into 5 main categories: Alteration, Conjuration, Elemental, Illusion, and Restoration.

ALTERATION

Alteration involves the manipulation of the physical world around oneself and its natural properties. Alteration becomes a sort of all encompassing magic in a way that can be both basic and highly advanced. It includes the more common spells that knights would cast in order to make themselves appear stronger than they are, such as Armis for example which is a common spell to strengthen the armor of a knight, it's also known as mage armor. The same can be said for using spells that can sharpen a knights sword or speed up their movements on the battlefield, or strengthen their bodies as a whole. Alteration also covers sealing magic which is the practice of using magic to physically bind the physical body, the mind, and/or the mana of any sort of creature. Sealing magic is typically used by knights who need to take prisoners for whatever reason.

CONJURATION

Conjuration is a very common type of magic used by knights as well. It is very similar to the summoning jutsu of the ninja in that you call a creature from another place in order to aid you but it can be a little bit more involved than that as well. Conjuration can be broken down into three major groups. The first of these is the group that is common to the summoning jutsu practiced by the ninja, which is called Remote Conjuration, which involves calling various beings from a species that you have made a pact with, very similar to the summoning displayed in Naruto. The next is local conjuration, which is when you place a specific rune on a object or creature of you're choice and you use this as a link to summon them by. This is how knights are able to summon their horses or armor without having to travel with them over long distances. The Final one is Elemental Conjuration, which is also linked to Elemental magic. It involves conjuring an elemental based on your magic element, basically you're conjuring using nothing but the energy in your body.

ELEMENTAL

Elemental Magic is the most commonly used magic among the knights. There are 5 basic elements in elemental magic, Ignis (Fire), Aqua (Water), Ventus (Wind), Fulgur (Lightning), and Terra (Earth). While most knights have at least some compatibility with all 5 of these elements most knights only ever learn 2 in their life time, and there are few more who have learned 3 or 4. The different elements are very hard to master and ever harder to master multiple at the same time due to their varying natures. There are also the advanced elements, which are a level above the the basic elements in that they either combine two or more elements or use an element that exists completely outside the 5 basic elements. These advanced elements are impossible for the normal folk to learn and require that you belong to a certain bloodline in order to use them, as such these types of magic are known as Bloodline magics aswell.

ILLUSION

Illusion magic is one often looked down upon by many knights due to the fact that it border lines on breaking the code of chivalry, as illusions mean that you are either not fighting fairly or that you aren't facing your opponent head on. However Illusion magic does still have some use among both the Order of Merlin and on the battlefield. Illusion magic can be used clone one's self (Shadow clone jutsu!) as well as to cause others to see things that aren't really there. So when on a battlefield and out numbered by the opponent a knight may elect to either clones themselves so they can fight in several places at once, or cause their opponents to see illusions in order to buy themselves time.

RESTORATION

Restoration magic is key to healing the injuries Knights receive on the battle field. Much like medical ninjutsu, restoration magic can be used both to perform first aid and stop bleeding, or it can be used in advanced medical procedures such as surgery. While not all knights know restoration magic the knights that do learn it and excel greatly in it are usually put in a special order focusing on medical relief in times of war and they typically get to avoid the front lines. Restoration magic itself has it's limits, for example it can't restore severed limbs, restoration only really accelerates the bodies natural healing process, and the rest is up to the skill and knowledge of the user, so if your body wouldn't naturally heal it restoration magic wouldn't work either.

The Legendary Beasts

The Legendary beasts are similar to the tailed beasts of the ninja world but kind of backwards. While they are still masses of Chakra, or Mana as the knights would call it they appear very differently than the Tailed Beasts, having varying numbers of heads similar to how the tailed beasts have different numbers of tails. Throughout the ages Knights have found that sealing the Legendary beasts inside of people has the best result in order to keep them under control.

One Head: Behemoth

The One Headed Legendary beast Behemoth.

Two Heads: Kirin

Three Heads: Cerberus

Four Heads: Chimera

Five Heads: Leviathan

Six Heads: Hydra

Seven Heads: Herensuge

Eight Heads: Orochi

Nine Heads: Jiu Feng

 

[BlacklegSanji]

Knight Arts

While magic is one of the most fundamental abilities of the knights it is not their only tool of the trade. Knigths also practice a number of various arts in order to give themselves the edge on the battle field:

Sword Play: A requirement for all knights, Sword play is one of two main skills they use in battle in order to defeat their enemies, different knights use different styles, though that being said there are some commonalities between the various styles of sword play. A knights swordsmanship is often looked at as a measure of how strong that knight is more so than magic because it relies on the knights quick thinking, dexterity, and strength rather than just the amount of mana they have, basically it's something that shows how hard a knight has trained.

Pugilism: Hand to hand combat, while not a main skill of the knights being able to fight in hand to hand combat, is considered one of the more essential skills. When one does not have his weapon available or when an unarmed opponent attacks (regarding the Code of Chivalry about not attacking unarmed opponents) it is essential to still be able to take them down.

Jousting: Jousting refers to a contest between knights which involves horseback riding and blunt lances, however in this context it refers to the art of both spearmanship and mounted combat. Knights often ride horses into battle and as such are required to have some skill in horse riding and jousting make for good practice.

Archery: Knights are also trained in archery, a vital skill in both warfare and long ranged combat.

Naruto: Knights - Locations

Camelot

Camelot is the capital city of the land known as Britannia, Which is situated to the west of the known ninja world. It is the homeland of the knights and the citizens that they protect. Not much is known about this land to the ninja world but from what the knights have described it has architecture the likes of which the ninja world has no parallel to. The city consists of the castle in the center, a inner ring outside of it dedicated to high ranking knight's family homes, and a outer ring that's protected by high walls dedicated to the residential district, markets, and all other sorts of infrastructure. Outside the city walls many families reside and there is a small shanty town that is considered the poor district.

Hidden Leaf

The Hidden leaf village is a ninja village situated in the land of Fire. It is also known as Konohagakure. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konohagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Hokage, of which there have been seven in its history. Konoha resides deep within a forest at the base of a mountain known as the Hokage Rock, which has the faces of all those who have taken the office of Hokage engraved on it. It is surrounded on all sides by enormous walls. While generally seen as the most powerful of the ninja villages, Konoha has enjoyed many years of relative peace and stability.
