Karagata Shinjiro
‘Shinji’
General Information Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 5’9
Weight: 160lbs
Physical Features:
- Face/head: Shinjiro has a rather handsome, clean-cut face, a stark contrast to the obvious marks of a shinobi throughout the remainder of his body. His hair is a rich hickory brown, kept relatively short and neatly cut, layered and framing his face well with his bangs falling on one side just past his vibrant lime green eyes. The tone of his skin is quite pale, being covered the majority of the time.
- Body: The young assassin maintains an incredibly defined, lean build of dense muscle that teems with power. Every day is spent working out and honing his physique as well as stretching and coordinating his balance. As such he is incredibly limber. Though seldom shown he possesses remarkable core strength and definition, seemingly impossibly defined to the point of developing a clear 8 pack, likewise his oblique’s are prominent, maintaining notable bulges and deep grooves. Every other aspect of his physique is cut with deep lines of definition. Shinji’s body is covered in so many scars it would be nearly impossible to list them all, many of them overlapping one another, obscuring which came first. Lash marks are evident across his back, chest, stomach, and thighs, leaving dense ridged scars. His hands and feet as well are heavily calloused and scarred, courtesy of whips and burns, though always it was ensured he would retain their functionality of such precious instruments of death. His forearms and calves are covered in numerous electrical burns as well as those of hot coals and iron rods.
- Notable Features: Shinjiro has been branded on his right shoulder with the sigil of the Karagata family and on his left is the brand of Kirigakure. His face, though it has been cut, bruised, and broken numerous times throughout his life was the one aspect which had always been healed to perfection in order to appease the rare case where he might need to pose as a civilian or blend into a crowd causing it to stand out against his body. Taking up most of his back is tattoo of a Kraken wrapped around a skull.
Due to the influence of Vorashu no Katagenma, any of his jutsu have a green tint to their chakra, regardless of what jutsu it is. His hands and fingers appear to be covered in blackened charcoal constantly, and stays consistent through any transformation.
Clothing/Accessories: His primary Outfit consists of a long grey jacket with touches of green trim. On the chest is the symbol of the Seven swordsmen. Coupled with this he will wear a similarly patterned hood and a brown mask and tattered cloak that attaches around the neck like a scarf. For pants he will vary between browns, greys or blacks and will often wear well-padded boots or other specialized shoes that help dampen sound. Finally his Kirigakure forehead protector is tied around his left shoulder while on his right is a patch sewn into his outfit baring a kraken, the symbol of his family.

Personality:
- General: On the surface it is not uncommon for Shinjiro to smile, laugh or joke, though his humor is often quite dry and dark. He is a very competitive individual and strives to surpass all those around him, generally befriending those he considers to have talents or potential on a similar scale as himself. Occasionally he will be aloof or even friendly in his observations though when it comes down to it he is extremely confident in his own skills, readily using force or intimidation to put others in place. While he longs for true friendship he realizes that above all else he is a weapon. He has little empathy for the weak or helpless and highly values the strength of his family and the reputation of their name.
- Hopes/Dreams: Having achieved the rank of Bannin, Shinjiro desires only to continue serving Kirigakure and the Mizukage. As Overseer of the Seven swordsmen of the Mist he aims to restore the organization to power and prove their strength.
- Fears: Shinji has been trained past the point of fear in the typical sense. He welcomes the thought of death in service of his village and has learned to endure all manner of torture. His only regret in dying young would be not being able to live up to his potential and shape the future of the village.
- Combat Mentality:In many senses Shinji is the perfect soldier, he follows orders without question and is very precise in the detail of carrying out missions, often completing them to the letter. If ordered he will not hesitate to take a life, regardless of whose life it may be, the only conflict which may arise would be in the case of a close family member or perhaps a trusted comrade. In almost all instances however, he has been trained past the point of fear or hesitation, willing to sacrifice his life or put himself at great risk in order to complete his objective. For these reasons he typically works best alone as his mind works quickly and he often prefers not to waste time discussing plans that he already has well established.

Chaos
Sheathed across Shinji’s back with the handle over his left shoulder this Katana measures 32 inches total with a blade length of 26 inches. The blade in deep crimson in color and has small groves along the length of the blade for storing and transferring poison across the blade and down to the tip of the sword. The Durability of this sword is 35 and it will repair any damage done to it over the course of 1 full post. The truly unique nature of the sword is that so long as they have a chakra network any being cut by it will be struck with immense fear and a sense of impending doom. They will fear Shinjiro especially, often collapsing in terror before going to great lengths to avoid him. This feeling of terror will persist for 2 full posts after being cut by the weapon. Having bonded with the weapon, Shinjiro is immune to its effects. Coated with Touch of Mortality.
Agony
Sheathed across Shinji’s back with the handle over his right shoulder this Katana measures 32 inches total with a blade length of 26 inches. The blade is black in color and has small groves along the length of the blade for storing and transferring poison across the blade and down to the tip of the sword. The Durability of this sword is 35 and it will repair any damage done to it over the course of 1 full post. The truly unique nature of the blade however is that any being that is cut by its edge, so long as they have chakra will feel an immense surge of pain throughout their entire body; this agony is comparable to every nerve in the body being exposed, making every movement excruciatingly painful and every sensation enhanced to extreme levels. This pain persists for 2 full posts after being cut. Only Shinjiro may wield this weapon with anyone else who uses it for the purpose of combat experiencing its pain effect so long as they remain in contact with the weapon. Coasted with Shinigami's Kiss.
Malevolence
“For nobody is curious, who isn't malevolent.”
An arrow, approximately 2 feet in length, with a steel tip and flayed bottom. Malevolence is a single weapon, and is controlled often through the user’s voice, though variations have existed throughout history. The speed in which Malevolence moves, and the strength in which it strikes is equal to that of the user’s 'Malevolence' weapon stat. Its slim body and simple design makes it difficult to see coming, and even harder to dodge, and its ability to be controlled makes it able to make sharp turns, simply stop in mid-air, and easily alter its course. Additionally, the arrow is capable of splitting itself, creating 2 individuals that can all be controlled independently of each other. This weapon is stored in a thin black sheath at Shinji’s left hip with the tip pointing outward there remains just enough space in the sheath to flow poisons into it, able to coat the length of the arrow while retaining a snug fit for the weapon. Coated with Touch of Mortality and Shinigami's Kiss.
Emperor Ankan's Greaves
Emperor Ankan's Greaves
These shin guards of black steel have been famed throughout history for their use by the notorious thief Minkai. The greaves allow the user to walk on air as though it were solid ground, following the flight rules using the wearer's [control]. When not flying the wearer can move at any speed in utter silence and their footsteps leave no visual trace. It is said the greaves allow their wearer to teleport through the air instantly. This can be used once per thread and does not count towards the restriction of two teleports per thread.

[Chakra Bane]
A-Rank Gas & Coating Poison (5 Cannisters)
This poison affects the victim by absorbing through their body and directly into their chakra system or being inhaled. Each cannister will deploy a 10-meter diameter cloud of turquoise poison that will linger in the air unless disposed of by some other means. Shinjiro can also infuse this poison to utilize as his breath attack and/or infuse it into his bloodstream and other bodily fluids according to his Shinigami’s Curse ability. Those affected will find their chakra flow impaired, limiting their control and ability to perform ninjutsu.

[Shinigami’s Kiss] (Four 250ml bottles)
A-Rank Coating Poison
A poison utilized by Shinjiro in order to render his victim's helpless, paralyzed from the neck down. In its original state this thick poison has a grey coloration though when infused in Shinjiro’s body it can be applied from any of his bodily fluids including his blood, saliva or sweat. Just a few drops introduced to the victim's system via entry though skin contact, blood stream or mucous membrane is enough for the poison to begin taking effect. It will begin as a slight tingling sensation in the area surrounding the entry point of the poison, before developing into full blown paresthesia of the entire body before the paralysis sets in. Once the paralysis is in place, it will prevent the victim from controlling their conscious motor functions. They will still be able to breath, their heart will continue to function as normal, but they will have no conscious control over their body. The only part not affected is their ability to move their eyes, slightly turn their head, and their ability to speak.

Additionally, this poison can be infused into Shinji’s own blood and other bodily fluids such as saliva and sweat according to his Shinigami’s Curse ability. Once this poison had been introduced the victim will no longer benefit from Enhanced Stamina Regeneration or any Regeneration ability, only able to heal their wounds through direct IIjutsu techniques that will require 1 post longer than usual in order to take affect.

[Reaper’s Flesh] (1 container of 15 pills)
S-Rank Ingestive Poison
A toxin derived from various poisonous plants, the 'flesh-eating poison' is lethal poison that is contained in a small capsule and also present in every part of Shinjiro’s muscles, organs and tissue. After being swallowed the poison will spread through the victim’s tissues and organs. After three posts, reduced by 1 post for each additional portion consumed the victim will experience extreme stomach pains that gradually spread to cause excruciating pain throughout their body. Necrosis will spread throughout their body, rendering them unable to move after 5 posts as their organs shut down and muscle groups seize and decay. By the end of the 7th post-death will be assured if an antidote has not been administered though any damage will still need to be healed separately. If the victim has any kind of regeneration ability they will be able to stave off death though will remain in a state of extreme pain and immobility until treated by a rank appropriate antidote. This poison will continue to persist in the tissues of the deceased, able to be transmitted further by anything foolish enough to feast on the corpse.

Abilities and Concentrations
| Abilities | |
|---|---|
| First Ability | Immunity Having been exposed to countless poisons throughout his life Shinji has developed a natural immunity to all manner of poisons, tranquilizers, venoms, and toxins, even alcohol has a minimal effect on him. His immune system too had developed far beyond the normal capacity, meaning that even deadly viruses and diseases are quickly recovered from, affecting him to half the extent of others and never being fatal. For minor colds, flu’s, and the like they are easily combated and defeated before even given the opportunity to take root. Thus even though nearly all medicines have little to no effect on him it is very unlikely he would even find himself requiring them in the first place. It should be noted that this immunity to foreign substances does not increase the speed at which he recovers from physical wounds, only in his ability to prevent infection and the like. Also the application of Iijutsu techniques to heal wounds maintain their full effectiveness. Due to the constant overdrive of his bodies ability to break down harmful substances Shinjiro is naturally incurred with a permanent -3 Endurance. |
| Second Ability | Jinchuriki Shinjiro has been entrusted with Vorashu no Katagenma, the Body Genma, thus giving him access to make changes to his body, create animals/chimeras, or change other's bodies temporarily. However this seals him off from having any companions. |
| Third Ability | Shinigami’s Curse After undergoing an extensive procedure procured in the Black Market districts of Rice Country, Shinjiro has had his body altered significantly. This change is entirely internal and reflects his ability to absorb and store poison within every component of his body as well as release a poisonous breath attack that is expelled at a speed equal to his strength and can travel up to 15 meters before expanding into a cloud of poison that stretches to Controlx2= meters in diameter. Shinjiro can absorb poisons into his body, able to inhale an entire cloud of poison or suck up a liquid poison or even draw it into his skin or bloodstream, preventing the further spread of poison to those who might have been affected. These poisons can then be stored within his own body, able to be kept in a neutral state or weaponized. He can store a maximum number of poisons equal to his Endurance stat within his body. Shinji can neutralize any number of his weaponized poisons over the course of a full post. Similarly, it takes a full post to switch a poison with another or weaponize a poison after being neutralized. Only one poison can be switched or re-weaponized at a time. Poisons do not have to be neutralized first before switching out for another. Only one of each type of poison may be active at a time; ingestion poisons saturating his flesh, tissues, and organs. Coating poisons are weaponized within his blood and other bodily fluids such as saliva and sweat and lastly a gas poison can be weaponized in the form of his breath attack. Unless otherwise stated it should be assumed that [Reaper's Flesh], [Death's Breath], and [Shinigami's Kiss] are active throughout his body. While he may only have one of each type weaponized at a time he can store a new poison until the end of the thread it's absorbed in unless it is purchased normally and added to the character sheet. |

History
Historical AccountsShow
From his very birth Shinjiro was destined to become an assassin. His father; Karagata Izune was an elite Jounin of Kirigakure. Proud of his family and the village he strove to forge a shinobi force like none other, individuals who would serve Kiri throughout their lives, never waver from their line of duty and excel in their craft of assassination. It was his opinion that such perfect weapons would be best forged in his own likeness; his children that he would raise and train into the perfect shinobi. The problem came with the fact that Izune was never the romantic sort nor one for the family life, he cared for his parents and his siblings though more in a sense of familial loyalty and honor of the family name. When it came to women he saw them as little more than objects of comfort and lust. As such he never married, instead continuing his focus towards his devotion to the village and sleeping with women whenever it pleased him, from civilians in seedy taverns, to paid whores or even his own slaves, even the occasional fellow shinobi, he spread his seed frequently, keeping tabs on all of these women and inevitably the children that some would come to bear.
Once he became aware of a child of his own making he would wait until they reached between the age of two and five depending on the potential he saw in them and the standing of their mother. When a child caught his interest and he could be certain it was his he would contact the mother and by some means or another ensure that the child would be brought into his household. From there the child would be largely raised by his household slaves, only spending time with their father in the form of training. At first it would be a repetitive instilling of the values and code of the shinobi, exposing them to the harshness of the life they would live and then would come the physical tests. Exposure to pain, suffering, even mild forms of torture. It was only children that maintained determination and discipline until they were of suitable age and talent to enter the academy that he would keep on as his own. Weakness would not to be tolerated and those who failed would be returned to their mothers whom would be threatened into never speaking of what their children had been put through. On two separate instances young children had even died under such brutal training.
Over the years Izune came to have several children whom had met his initial standards. Taken from his mother as an infant Shinji suffered through the many tests, including often being beaten by his father and his older siblings as they conditioned him to remove his fear and embrace all manner of pain. His oldest brother Riku, seven years his elder took precedent on close range combat, developing a strong rivalry and an individual to aspire to surpass. His sister Chiasa, five years his elder specialized in genjutsu and poisons, taking precedent in torture situations of the mind and the body as well as providing medical aid when required. For quite some time Shinji feared his sister in particular, even hated her though in time he grew to understand that behind her cold demeanor she like their father simply wished to make him strong. His final sibling was another brother, Mitsuo whom was only a few months younger than himself. Despite this Mitsuo hadn’t come into their household until the age of 5 whereas Shinji had been taken in when he was only 2. This gave him a distinct advantage over his half-brother whom already seemed naturally more weak and timid.
By the time Shinjiro was 7 he was ready to join the academy, ahead of his brother who was deemed not yet worthy. Still the two trained together often and every month Mitsuo seemed to show a notable increase in skill and bravery. Shinjiro however was a natural. Entered in the second academy he quickly excelled, much like his older siblings. It had become expected for members of his immediate family to be the top of their class and the boy didn’t disappoint. In regards to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu he performed exactly at the capacity that was expected of him, displaying an ability to perform D-ranked techniques though it was his Taijutsu that displayed his prodigious talent. His speed, technique and flawless efficiency quickly made him a name to be feared and respected among his peers. At the age of 9 he graduated on his first attempt. The same year that Mitsuo entered the academy. It wasn’t long before Shinjiro found himself a suitable rival, a Toukai boy three years older than him. The young man’s name was Tsutomu, large for his age and exceptionally powerful he wielded a broadsword and relished in combat.
During this time his sister continued to test her poisons on him, periodically increasing the dosage and severity of the poisons as his body began to build up natural immunities. Naturally this made training more difficult though Shinjiro didn’t let that show, he learned to fight through various ailments and sicknesses while frequently sparring with a much larger and stronger opponent as well as his training sessions with his siblings. By the time he was 10 the boy had already made several kills, accompanied by one of his older siblings. He had been recognized for his talent and chosen to become Jinchuuriki to the body Genma, Vorashu. The ritual was excruciating, more painful than anything he had experienced even in his severe torture training but he had been elevated further. At the age of 11 he was deemed worthy of becoming a Chunin after defeating his rival in a vicious and bloody battle that left them both injured, though not critically wounded. Upon Shinjiro achieving the rank of Chunin his genin brother Mitsuo begged Chiasa and Riku to engage him in the same training regimen as Shinjiro, poisons included. For their entire life Matsuo had lived in Shinji’s shadow, whom had even earned their fathers praise on several occasions, a rare and treasured show of recognition within their household.
Unfortunately, as Shinjiro made a name for himself, taking on low level assassination requests by himself, shadows only by host guardians, his brother suffered greatly. He had pushed himself too hard in his attempts to close the insurmountable gap between the brothers, his body proving too weak to stave off the full effects of the poison. Less draw attention to his weakness he put on a brave face as he was taught, toughening out the various side effects he experienced which ultimately led to his death in the midst of a sparring session against his rival. The death of his brother saddened Shinjiro greatly as he had been his closest friend aside from Tsutomu, though after a period of mourning and respects being paid he put aside the memory, focusing on his training and his duties as any good shinobi should. Several years passed and his heart continued to be hardened as other half-siblings were brought into the household, each washing out in the early years. He knew he had to supress his emotions in order to be a successful host. Eventually, the screams of young children became common place and he learned to not grow attached to the children, not even considering them as siblings unless they graduated the academy. Nonetheless, after a young girl, Kiyome died from the household training methods Shinjiro confronted his father and demanded they stop bringing in children, after all none could hope to prove more promising than himself. His father agreed and the two never spoke of the encounter since, Shinjiro seemingly unphased by the girl’s death though in truth it burdened him greatly. This more calloused attitude continued to drive him into excelling at his craft as the years went by and his skills continued to grow becoming a Special Jounin by 14 and being recruited into the Seven Swordsmen of the mist as a Dagger.
During this time Shinjiro traveled to many lands, competing in tournaments in Fur Country and searching after legendary treasures alongside a Sunagakure shinobi by the name of Zekka and an Iwagakure Kunoichi named Kayuri. By the end of their travels and after assisting in the defeat of a Dragon and a conflict with a Konoha shinobi, Shinjiro was ordered to kill his friend Zekka, severing any ties of attachment to an enemy shinobi after he and his host guardians learned of the boys true loyalty. Fortunately, Kayuri had erased their presence from the others that had been in attendance in the conflict with the Dragon. Nonetheless it hardened Shinji further to kill the passive Sunagakure shinobi that he had come to consider his first friend, vowing to hunt down his friends rogue shinobi father before ultimately beheading Zekka and burning his corpse beyond recognition.
Over a year passed and Shinjiro’s skills grew to the point of proving himself as a full member of the Seven Swordsmen. He would perform a handful of missions alongside Iwagakure shinobi, participate in another tournament, this time in Star Country, claiming first place and as a reward be promoted to Jounin at the age of 15. No more than a few months later Shinji traveled alongside the infamous blood witch Muramasa Maido to Iwagakure, slaughtering hundreds of rogue shinobi and pirates along the way before eventually arriving and providing his services to the village as a show of strengthening the alliance between the villages. While in Iwakgaure Shinjiro turned 16, celebrating his birthday with his first sexual encounter though deeper feelings eluded him still, his only attachments to speak of being in his cousin Yuuto as well as a handful of other friends including the fellow Jinchurriki Nishiki and a Toukai by the name of Chisaki and a mentor figure in Kaguya Aimi.
However, after his return to Kirigakure, the young man soon had to bid Aimi farewell as the newly promoted Bannin departed for his own adventures. Discovering his own apprentice, Shinjiro took on a dagger, a young woman by the name of Karugata Asami who impressed him with her resilience and will to live after he decided to torture her for her disrespectful attitude. Shortly afterward tensions between the great nations began to escalate quite quickly. After a conflict in Soul country and skirmishes against foreign shinobi the world was soon thrust into war with each shinobi nation moving to secure new strongholds and resources. Proving himself instrumental in Conquering Starfall island alongside Muramasa Maido, Shinjiro was promoted to the rank of Bannin at the age of 17 and soon after earned the title of Overseer of the Seven Swordsmen. Throughout the war he fought alongside his Dagger Asami, proving himself a useful assassin and powerful vanguard on the battlefield, adapting to a variety of purposes and conditions, and excelling on all fronts.
Once he became aware of a child of his own making he would wait until they reached between the age of two and five depending on the potential he saw in them and the standing of their mother. When a child caught his interest and he could be certain it was his he would contact the mother and by some means or another ensure that the child would be brought into his household.

No more than a few months later Shinji traveled alongside the infamous blood witch Muramasa Maido to Iwagakure, slaughtering hundreds of rogue shinobi and pirates along the way before eventually arriving and providing his services to the village as a show of strengthening the alliance between the villages. While in Iwakgaure Shinjiro turned 16, celebrating his birthday with his first sexual encounter though deeper feelings eluded him still, his only attachments to speak of being in his cousin Yuuto as well as a handful of other friends including the fellow Jinchurriki Nishiki and a Toukai by the name of Chisaki and a mentor figure in Kaguya Aimi.
However, after his return to Kirigakure, the young man soon had to bid Aimi farewell as the newly promoted Bannin departed for his own adventures. Discovering his own apprentice, Shinjiro took on a dagger, a young woman by the name of Karugata Asami who impressed him with her resilience and will to live after he decided to torture her for her disrespectful attitude. Shortly afterward tensions between the great nations began to escalate quite quickly. After a conflict in Soul country and skirmishes against foreign shinobi the world was soon thrust into war with each shinobi nation moving to secure new strongholds and resources. Proving himself instrumental in Conquering Starfall island alongside Muramasa Maido, Shinjiro was promoted to the rank of Bannin at the age of 17 and soon after earned the title of Overseer of the Seven Swordsmen. Throughout the war he fought alongside his Dagger Asami, proving himself a useful assassin and powerful vanguard on the battlefield, adapting to a variety of purposes and conditions, and excelling on all fronts.

A-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
After channelling chakra, anyone that feels the vibrations from one of Shinji's roars/kia shouts be affected by this genjutsu.

When the user is finally right in front of the target, they will be so overwhelmed that they will fall to their knees in fear and have a horrible sick feeling of dread. While the attempt to make any fatal attack by the genjutsu user will immediately break the genjutsu, this feeling in the victim will make them answer almost any question with complete honesty. The word fatal is key, however, as the user can freely beat and physically injure the opponent while they are in this trance, they simply cannot kill. This feeling of defeat can last for up to 10 posts.

The illusion makes the weapon appear smaller than it actually is, only the 6 inches near the fletching visible in the form of a knife, making it difficult to properly time blocking, as any parry would simply slightly alter the angle of attack. This illusion lasts for 3 posts.

[Genjutsu • Equilibrium]
A-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
After channelling chakra, anyone that feels the vibrations from one of Shinji's roars/kia shouts be affected by this genjutsu. The targets do not need to be directly hit by the wind blast or physically feel the sensation, even transfering the vibrations of the attack through another surface will suffice. Those affected will feel their balance immediately falter as they lose sense of their equilibrium, making it extremely difficult to orient themselves and perform taijutsu. Moreover, their vision will rotate and continue to flip three times to the right and then three times back to the left and repeat this constantly for the next 5 posts.
[Genjutsu • Dark Wings of Defeat]
A-Ranked Warp Genjutsu
Prerequisite: 34 Willpower
This is a Genjutsu technique that allows the caster to place a large body of people into a lethargic state by channeling chakra. The genjutsu is initiated when the targets hear Shinji make a bird call of some kind. Once the targets hear the sound, they will see and hear a murder of crows flying toward them with black feathers fluttering around and falling down. For the opponents to realize this is a genjutsu, they just need a Will Power stat of 25, and then the standard control prerequisite to break out of it. If they don't break out of the genjutsu, the target will feel as if nearly all their chakra has been sapped from their body, collapsing in a near unconscious state, too tired to move or perform jutsu for the next 5 posts. If the user targets a victim with a lethal attack they will feel their energy and alertness suddenly returned to them.
*[Genjutsu • Alzheimer’s]
A-Ranked Status Genjutsu
This jutsu can be extremely useful when used at the right time during battle.

Prerequisite: 35 Will Power, 35 Control

With each step the genjutsu user takes, the victim will feel a steadily increasing feeling of defeat. When the user is finally right in front of the target, they will be so overwhelmed that they will fall to their knees in fear and have a horrible sick feeling of dread. While the attempt to make any fatal attack by the genjutsu user will immediately break the genjutsu, this feeling in the victim will make them answer almost any question with complete honesty. The word fatal is key, however, as the user can freely beat and physically injure the opponent while they are in this trance, they simply cannot kill. This feeling of defeat can last for up to 10 posts.

While flexing in such a way only strikes made with higher strength than Shinji’s will damage him. Additionally, should he flex his body after being cut or stabbed he can trap the offending weapon within his flesh unless the opponent is stronger than him. With an additional flex the portion of the weapon embedded in him can be snapped off so long as Shinji’s strength is high enough to break it.
ZantouShow
The ancient warriors of the Frost Country, battling both against harsh, unforgiving climates and constant attacks from outside forces, developed Zantou, a special style of Kenjutsu to fight back against invaders while defending even the strongest of arctic gates. Unlike most other styles, which often make use of highly technical swordplay, elaborate footwork, and blinding speed, Zantou attacks the mind of the opponent and defeats him both in body and in soul. Zantou is unique amongst the traditional kenjutsu styles in that it mandates the use of twin swords. While most practitioners opt for pairs of kodachi or ninjato for superior defense while maintaining a strong offense and adequate reach, any pair of swords can be used with this style. A combination of intense mental focus, quick and powerful strikes, and harnessing one's will to influence themselves and their opponents using [i]Kiai[/i][/i], Zantou brings the body, mind, and soul of the warrior together in a fierce union, becoming an embodiment of the blades they wield.

*[Zantou • Winter Solstice]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The basic Stance of Zantou, the practitioner holds one blade forward, parallel to the ground, and holds the other high over the head, pointing toward the opponent. The low blade grants the practitioner the ability to quickly defend against an opponent's attack while the blade raised overhead allows the practitioner to either quickly attack or counterattack with a powerful downward swing or thrust. This pairing of defense and offense serves as one of the cores of Zantou's swordsmanship. Drawing in a deep breath, the practitioner also gathers up their energy and releases a kiai. This Stance allows the practitioner to ignore non-critical distractions and minor environmental factors, such as small amounts of excess heat, small amounts of excess cold, small amounts of fatigue, and even small amounts of pain, allowing them to focus entirely on their opponents' movements and the tasks at hand. While in this Stance, the practitioner is conferred with a +2 increase to Strength and +1 increase to Will Power but suffers a -2 penalty to Chakra Pool and -1 penalty to Control. The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.

D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After practicing for a long amount of time with the concept of using both of their hands with equal skill, the user has developed a level of ambidexterity that allows them to utilize both hands equally and as effectively without any penalty.

*[Zantou • Winter River Flows]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The physical training and mental focus encouraged by Zantou allows for the practitioner to adapt quickly and take advantage of opportunities to attack when they present themselves in combat. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to alter the direction of their blade mid-cut. This can be used to work around a block, or simply to act as a powerful feint and strike all in the same motion without stopping. This Discipline can make a Zantou practitioner’s movements difficult to predict in a fight.
*[Zantou • Eyes of the Snow Owl]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Ambidexterity].
The practitioner of Zantou must be capable of both defending and attacking within the same movement. This Discipline represents the practitioner's training and capacity to block an attack with one sword while simultaneously attacking with the other while wielding two or more weapons, making it more difficult for opponents to adequately block or counter the practitioner's attacks.
*[Zantou • Shifting Winds]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Ambidexterity].
Complete control of the weapons one is wielding is a necessity to ensure a practitioner of Zantou is proficient in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to switch either one of their swords (or both, if they wish) from standard grip to reverse grip reflexively, the movements to do so firmly trained into their muscle memory. This allows the Zantou practitioner to ensure that the cutting edges of their blades are always facing the opponent whenever they want them to be. This Discipline can make a Zantou practitioner’s movements difficult to predict in a fight.
*[Zantou • Frigid Gust]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Zantou harnesses the inner strength of its warrior to cause the opponent to falter. Intentionally clashing with the opponent's weapon at a weak point, the practitioner immediately torques the muscles in their arm to violently push and twist the weapon in a single direction. An opponent affected by this technique must have a Strength higher than the practitioner's Strength to avoid losing their grip on their weapon or being disarmed entirely. The practitioner can immediately follow up on this opening with a slash with the other weapon if they so wish.

The low blade grants the practitioner the ability to quickly defend against an opponent's attack while the blade raised overhead allows the practitioner to either quickly attack or counterattack with a powerful downward swing or thrust. This pairing of defense and offense serves as one of the cores of Zantou's swordsmanship. Drawing in a deep breath, the practitioner also gathers up their energy and releases a kiai. While in this Stance, the practitioner can more easily ignore non-critical distractions, focusing solely on the opponent(s). They also are able to ignore moderate heat, moderate cold, moderate fatigue, and even a moderate amount of pain. They can read the opponents' muscle contractions and body positioning more accurately in this stance, and they are able to read both the direction and the type of attack that is imminent. The opponent can still effectively mask their movements if they have a movement-concealing Stealth technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. While in this Stance, the practitioner is conferred with a +2 increase to Strength and Will Power but suffers a -2 penalty to Chakra Pool and Control. The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.
*[Zantou • Wolf Pack Paradigm]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Much of a human's movements are inefficient and waste energy, especially in regards to combat. The practitioner has learned how to fully synchronize and harmonize the movements of their body in and out of combat. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge and mastery of kinetic linking, the efficient movement and transferal of potential energy from one part of the body to the other, eliminating potentially wasted Endurance and chakra and allowing the practitioner to last longer than ordinary in a fight.
*[Zantou • Wolf Pup Bite]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
As opposed to most attacks, which aim to do as much damage as possible as in few movements as necessary, this technique aims to slowly whittle away an opponent from the outside in. Whenever an opponent parries or blocks an attack, the practitioner can quickly sidestep, dragging the weapon along the opponent's guard and making a small incision somewhere along their outer extremities. While the cuts themselves are shallow and may appear superficial at first, continued use of this technique against an enemy can result in significant blood loss. Each successful application of this technique will leave a wide, shallow cut that will increase the pace at which the opponent loses blood and, in turn, Endurance.
[Zantou • Crashing Blizzard]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): Strength must be equal to or higher than Speed, *[Zantou • Wolf Pack Prowl].
Primarily used as a counter-attack, the practitioner reads his opponent, waiting for the opponent to initiate his attack. As the opponent commits to the attack, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arms and legs, accelerating the next series of movements to their maximum speed. The practitioner starts by parrying and forcing the opponent's blow away from their center of mass, leaving their torso exposed. Then, they attempt to run their opponent through with a violent thrust. Should the practitioner's attack not hit their mark, they will quickly jump back on focus on blocking any counter attacks, minimizing the potential opening to be exploited.

Then, in a single, explosive release, the practitioner looses a kiai and two crossing diagonal slashes from opposite sides. Opponents within a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength must have a Will Power equal to or higher than the practitioner's Will Power to resist the kiai effect. Otherwise, the opponents will suffer from minor disorientation from the disruption of the equilibrium, resulting in a -6 penalty to Speed for the next three posts. At the center of the attack, the second blade crashes into the back of the first, driving the first blade deeper into the opponent's guard, weapon, armor, or body. This technique is effective at breaking an opponent's weapon, armor, or defenses. The disorientation effect from this technique can be stacked with other disorientation effects and refreshes the post limit for any disorientation effect currently imposed on the opponents.
*[Zantou • Polar Bear Pursuit]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Frigid Gust].
An uncharacteristically aggressive technique with a heavy commitment, the practitioner draws in a small breath before unleashing a stream of kiai against the opponent before attacking them with a powerful series of alternating slashes and thrusts. Opponents within a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength must have a Will Power equal to or higher than the practitioner's Will Power to resist the kiai effect. Otherwise, the opponent will suffer from minor disorientation from the disruption of the equilibrium, resulting in a -6 penalty to Speed for the next three posts. This disorientation can allow the practitioner to overwhelm the opponent's senses and defenses to land any number of serious, if not fatal, blows. The disorientation effect from this technique can be stacked with other disorientation effects and refreshes the post limit for any disorientation effect currently imposed on the opponents.
*[Zantou • Polar Bear Roar]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 35 Strength.
Reflexively torquing muscles around the body, the practitioner releases the pent up energy with a fierce kiai, the amount of energy released so potent that it violently stirs the air up around the practitioner up to a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength in all directions with wildly alternating wind currents. This technique is able to destroy bindings and repel attacks, projectiles, and ninjutsu with a strength equal to 1/2 of the practitioner's Strength stat, rounded down, often simply diverting these attacks around or away from the practitioner instead.
*[Zantou • Winter Maelstrom]
A-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Winter Blizzard].
Building upon its parent technique, this Stance further builds upon further sharpening and refining the practitioner's capacity to focus on the opponent and the task at hand. Drawing in a deep breath, the practitioner also gathers up their energy and releases a kiai. The level of skill the practitioner has attained allows the practitioner to effectively attack and block from a neutral stance without any detriment. While in this Stance, the practitioner can effortlessly ignore non-critical distractions, focusing solely on the opponent(s). They also are able to ignore extreme heat, extreme cold, moderate oxygen deprivation, extreme fatigue, and even extreme pain. They can read the opponents' muscle contractions and body positioning very accurately in this stance, and they are able to read the direction, the type, the timing, and the speed of an attack that is imminent. The opponent can still effectively mask their movements if they have a movement-concealing Stealth technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. While in this Stance, the practitioner is conferred with a +4 increase to Strength and Will Power but suffers a -4 penalty to Chakra Pool and Control. The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.
*[Zantou • Frost Dragon's Flight]
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Winter Maelstrom].
The practitioner has learned to strike and defend with movements that shift suddenly and ferociously. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge and mastery of movement and muscle control, to the point that their movements, attacks, and techniques have no telegraphing signs until they are already in motion. This makes it much more difficult for opponents to properly react to the practitioner's actions in combat. Opponents must have a sight-based or sound-based Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique to adequately read the practitioner's movements, attacks, and techniques.
*[Zantou • Frost Dragon's Fangs]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Winter Maelstrom].
Torquing the muscles in their arms, the practitioner unleashed a relentless flurry of twisting slashes and thrusts. With controlled twisting of the wrists and arms, the practitioner can immediately change the direction of any of these attacks, even to the point of converting a slash into a thrust and vice-versa. The unpredictability of this technique, complemented by the practitioner’s already muted movements, makes this one of the deadliest techniques in all of Zantou.
*[Zantou • Frost Dragon's Roar]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 30 Will Power,, *[Zantou • Frostbitten Howl].
Zantou harnesses the inner strength of its warrior to cause the opponent to lose hold of their senses. A more advanced version of its parent technique, the practitioner unleashes a mighty kiai, which bombards the opponent with violently vibrating air currents entering their ear canals. Opponents within a number of meters equal to the practitioner's Strength must have a Will Power equal to or higher than the practitioner's Will Power to resist the effect of this technique. Otherwise, any opponents in range of the technique will lose all sense of orientation, balance, and proprioception, resulting in a -9 penalty to Speed for the next three posts in the form of disorientation and extreme nausea to the point of uncontrolled vomiting. This technique can be used in conjunction with other techniques. The disorientation effect from this technique can be stacked with other disorientation effects and refreshes the post limit for any disorientation effect currently imposed on the opponents.
[Zantou • Frost Dragon's Claws]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Frost Dragon’s Flight].
A technique specifically designed to help the practitioner fight against an army, the practitioner breaks into a dash, weaving through their opponents. Using the principles learned from Frost Dragon’s Flight, the practitioner quickly launches sudden cuts and thrusts aimed at vital areas of the body, all while dodging incoming attacks, allowing the practitioner to potentially dispatch a large number of opponents with ease. The practitioner can keep attacking and dashing without stopping for a number of posts equal to half their Endurance stat, rounded down, though they may end the technique whenever they so wish as well. The practitioner may use other techniques while executing this technique as well.
Requires: [Sword Weapons], [Perception], [Deft Hands] Concentrations.
*[Zantou • Winter Solstice]
D-Rank Taijutsu Stance
The basic Stance of Zantou, the practitioner holds one blade forward, parallel to the ground, and holds the other high over the head, pointing toward the opponent. The low blade grants the practitioner the ability to quickly defend against an opponent's attack while the blade raised overhead allows the practitioner to either quickly attack or counterattack with a powerful downward swing or thrust. This pairing of defense and offense serves as one of the cores of Zantou's swordsmanship. Drawing in a deep breath, the practitioner also gathers up their energy and releases a kiai. This Stance allows the practitioner to ignore non-critical distractions and minor environmental factors, such as small amounts of excess heat, small amounts of excess cold, small amounts of fatigue, and even small amounts of pain, allowing them to focus entirely on their opponents' movements and the tasks at hand. While in this Stance, the practitioner is conferred with a +2 increase to Strength and +1 increase to Will Power but suffers a -2 penalty to Chakra Pool and -1 penalty to Control. The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.
*[Zantou • Ambidexterity]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
After practicing for a long amount of time with the concept of using both of their hands with equal skill, the user has developed a level of ambidexterity that allows them to utilize both hands equally and as effectively without any penalty. This extends to other methods of combat or simple everyday life as well.
*[Zantou • Winter River Flows]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The physical training and mental focus encouraged by Zantou allows for the practitioner to adapt quickly and take advantage of opportunities to attack when they present themselves in combat. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to alter the direction of their blade mid-cut. This can be used to work around a block, or simply to act as a powerful feint and strike all in the same motion without stopping. This Discipline can make a Zantou practitioner’s movements difficult to predict in a fight.
*[Zantou • Eyes of the Snow Owl]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Ambidexterity].
The practitioner of Zantou must be capable of both defending and attacking within the same movement. This Discipline represents the practitioner's training and capacity to block an attack with one sword while simultaneously attacking with the other while wielding two or more weapons, making it more difficult for opponents to adequately block or counter the practitioner's attacks.
*[Zantou • Shifting Winds]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Zantou • Ambidexterity].
Complete control of the weapons one is wielding is a necessity to ensure a practitioner of Zantou is proficient in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to switch either one of their swords (or both, if they wish) from standard grip to reverse grip reflexively, the movements to do so firmly trained into their muscle memory. This allows the Zantou practitioner to ensure that the cutting edges of their blades are always facing the opponent whenever they want them to be. This Discipline can make a Zantou practitioner’s movements difficult to predict in a fight.
*[Zantou • Frigid Gust]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Zantou harnesses the inner strength of its warrior to cause the opponent to falter. Intentionally clashing with the opponent's weapon at a weak point, the practitioner immediately torques the muscles in their arm to violently push and twist the weapon in a single direction. An opponent affected by this technique must have a Strength higher than the practitioner's Strength to avoid losing their grip on their weapon or being disarmed entirely. The practitioner can immediately follow up on this opening with a slash with the other weapon if they so wish.

The practitioner may end this Stance whenever they so wish.
*[Zantou • Wolf Pack Paradigm]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Much of a human's movements are inefficient and waste energy, especially in regards to combat. The practitioner has learned how to fully synchronize and harmonize the movements of their body in and out of combat. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge and mastery of kinetic linking, the efficient movement and transferal of potential energy from one part of the body to the other, eliminating potentially wasted Endurance and chakra and allowing the practitioner to last longer than ordinary in a fight.
*[Zantou • Wolf Pup Bite]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
As opposed to most attacks, which aim to do as much damage as possible as in few movements as necessary, this technique aims to slowly whittle away an opponent from the outside in. Whenever an opponent parries or blocks an attack, the practitioner can quickly sidestep, dragging the weapon along the opponent's guard and making a small incision somewhere along their outer extremities. While the cuts themselves are shallow and may appear superficial at first, continued use of this technique against an enemy can result in significant blood loss. Each successful application of this technique will leave a wide, shallow cut that will increase the pace at which the opponent loses blood and, in turn, Endurance.
[Zantou • Crashing Blizzard]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): Strength must be equal to or higher than Speed, *[Zantou • Wolf Pack Prowl].
Primarily used as a counter-attack, the practitioner reads his opponent, waiting for the opponent to initiate his attack. As the opponent commits to the attack, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arms and legs, accelerating the next series of movements to their maximum speed. The practitioner starts by parrying and forcing the opponent's blow away from their center of mass, leaving their torso exposed. Then, they attempt to run their opponent through with a violent thrust. Should the practitioner's attack not hit their mark, they will quickly jump back on focus on blocking any counter attacks, minimizing the potential opening to be exploited.
[Zantou • Wolf Pack Bloodlust]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): ]*[Zantou • Frigid Gust].
A technique that can be added onto the end or at the beginning of another Maneuver for a more potent attack string, the practitioner momentarily torques every muscle in their body before attacking with a flurry of vicious, alternating thrusts. Each thrust is targeted at a wildly different part of the opponent's body, making it difficult to properly defend against each thrust.

IaidoShow
The samurai of the Land of Tea have produced a unique style of Kenjutsu called Iaido. Unlike other styles, which rely on the sword being drawn to attack, a practitioner of Iaido is always ready to attack their opponents, even when their weapon is sheathed in its scabbard. Known as a "sword drawing" technique, Iaido uses the smooth, linear motion of pulling the sword from its sheath to create abnormally fast slashes and strikes against often ignorant and unsuspecting opponents. Though the katana is preferred for this style, any curved sword single-edged sword with a complimenting scabbard is compatible with this style. Their ability to fight with both traditional swordplay and hand-to-hand combat while perfectly capable of switching to quick slashes and stabs using Iaido's hallmark techniques makes practitioners of this style unpredictable fighters.
Requires: [Sword Weapons], [Perception] Concentrations.
*[Iaido • Mantra]
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
A simple yet potent defense, especially against other weapons users, the practitioner partially draws the sword from its scabbard and blocks incoming attacks with the back of their blade. This technique is ineffective against opponents with higher Strength than the practitioner's Strength.
*[Iaido • Ancestral Focus]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
The hallmark of Iaido is its practitioners abilities to launch an attack even when their swords are sheathed. This Discipline represents the practitioner's capacity to consistently execute a sword draw and slash all in one movement by gripping the edge of the scabbard and pulling the scabbard slightly forward before drawing the sword. This Discipline enables the practitioner to immediately draw their sword and attack at the start of combat.
*[Iaido • Weapon Mastery]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Since Iaido is a style that prioritizes speed over brute strength, wise usage of the blade is paramount to the practitioner's success in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of their weapon's strengths and weaknesses in combat, allowing them to use the weapon more efficiently both inside and outside of its use in Iaido techniques and avoid unnecessarily presenting their weapon's blind spots to the opponent.
**[Iaido • One with the Sheath]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): 8 Speed.
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades. The practitioner can now seamlessly transition from drawing their blade to slash to sheathing their blade, allowing the practitioner to sheath their sword in half the time, up to a maximum speed equal to their Speed stat, for the more rapid execution of Iaido techniques.
[Iaido • Back Draw]
Prerequisite(s): Ambidexterity
C-Rank Kenjutsu Discipline
An unorthodox and difficult skill to master Shinjiro has learned how to harness the Iaido skills from the drawing position of a sword strapped across his back. Any Iaido related technique can be performed from this sword position with the same efficiency as a draw from the waist. The difference is that when drawing and sheathing in this manner the user has learned to utilize only one hand, potentially allowing the user to wield more than one weapon at a time.
*[Iaido • One with the Sword]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • One with the Sheath].
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades even without the use of both hands. The practitioner can now sheath the blade just as quickly with one hand as could be done with two hands, and so long as the scabbard remains on their person, the practitioner will always have an exact knowledge of the position of their scabbard.
*[Iaido • Death’s Gate]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed.
Drawing upon the superlative speed of Iaido, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their body to draw their sword from its scabbard and deliver a blindingly fast slash before sheathing their blade. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, they cannot accurately read the attack and will be unlikely to completely avoid the attack, if at all.
*[Iaido • Peace in Death]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed.
An abnormally aggressive technique in Iaido, this technique serves as a preemptive counter, attacking the opponent in the split moment between drawing back to prepare an attack and launching said attack. Violently torquing the muscles in their legs, the practitioner more quickly accelerates to their maximum speed (or instantly accelerating to their max speed if their Strength is equal or higher than their Speed) than with normal movement. With this movement, the practitioner bolts toward the opponent and launches an attack, cutting the opponent as they pass to their side. This technique can be used while moving to immediately change direction instead before launching the attack. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique.
[Iaido • Futile Struggle]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed *[Iaido • Mantra].
Making use of the trademark speed of Iaido to intercept enemy attacks, the practitioner draws their blade in a wide arc. This defensive slash allows the practitioner to deflect projectiles and clash with an opponent's weapon. Additionally, so long as the practitioner's Speed is equal to or higher than the opponent's Speed, this technique can be used to intercept and interrupt an opponent's technique or attack by striking the weapon or an area of the opponent's body before the attack reaches maximum strength and staggering them.
*[Iaido • Ancestral Visage]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Using Iaido to its fullest requires a keen eye and quick reactions, enabling its users to target weaknesses and openings that their opponents present almost instantaneously. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to attack openings that present themselves, the practitioner now able to reflexively attack an opening in almost the same moment that it is observed. This Discipline reduces the gap of time between a practitioner recognizing a potential opening for attack and launching the attack to exploit said opening to almost nil.
*[Iaido • Spectral Flight]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): 15 Strength, 25 Speed, *[Iaido • Ancestral Visage].
In order for Iaido to stand toe to toe with a variety of high-level opponents, refining fundamentals to a new height is necessary. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to quickly accelerate to max movement speed and decelerate to a full stop at a moment's notice. This does not offer protection against attacks that the practitioner does not know is coming.
*[Iaido • One with the Spirit]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • One with the Sheath], *[Iaido • One with the Sword].
Through incredible amounts of practice, the practitioner of Iaido has learned his weapon and its housing inside and out. The user of this weapon can now reflexively sheath their sword in its scabbard almost instantaneously by instinct with either one hand or both hands without even looking. This facilitates further use of other Iaido techniques.
*[Iaido • Phantom Funeral]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 35 Speed.
The superlative speed of Iaido is harnessed to attain seemingly supernatural feats. By momentarily torquing the muscles in their arms, the practitioner manages slashes so fast that they spawn vacuum blades that follow the trajectory of their original attack. This attack spawns a single vacuum blade that travels up to a number of meters equal to half the practitioner's Speed, rounded down, and hits with 1/2 the Strength of the original attack, rounded down. If this technique is used in tangent with a melee attack, the vacuum blade strikes immediately after the original attack is finished, potentially sealing the opponent's guard and creating an opening. This technique can be used in conjunction with other techniques.
*[Iaido • Silent Passing]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Death’s Gates].
Unlike most of Iaido's techniques, Silent Passing is not particularly useful in the heat of combat. Instead, it is an attack meant to be executed from a standing position, such as while casually walking towards an opponent. Once in close enough proximity to the opponent, the practitioner draws their sword, strikes the opponent's opening, and sheaths their blade with such speed, it appears to the untrained eye that the practitioner continued to simply walk past their target. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, the opponent will not be capable of fully avoiding this attack if they are in range without some sort of passive defense.
*[Iaido • Sword Spirit Draw]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Overwhelming the opponent with a literal shower of high-speed slashes, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arm to draw their sword and continue to assault the opponent's defenses with a seemingly unending wave of slashes. By torquing the muscles in the arm and twisting the wrist when changing the direction of the slash, each strike of the sword is as fast as if it had been drawn from its scabbard. This technique can be used while moving, and the practitioner can feint strikes within the flurry to throw the opponent off-guard. This technique can be used for up to three posts.
*[Iaido • Afterlife Draw]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Phantom Step Mastery].
By momentarily torquing the muscles in their body, the practitioner launches a series of six blindingly fast slashes, targeting vital areas such as the gut, pelvis, neck and throat, large arteries and veins in limbs, etc., upon which a solid blow would prove fatal. The movement of this technique is so fast that it creates an afterimage of the practitioner as they begin to move, and the afterimage fades after the practitioner has finished executing the move. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, the opponent will not be able to anticipate this technique and fully avoid even one strike, let alone all six.
[Iaido • Eternal Haunting]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver.
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Ancestral Visage].
Pushing past the limits of normal human movement, the practitioner moves at the exact same speed, in the exact same direction, at the exact same time, and for the exact same distance as their opponent. This assures that the opponent will always remain in the practitioner's effective attack range. In order for this technique to operate at its peak efficiency, the practitioner must have a Speed and Strength score equal to or higher than the opponent’s Speed and Strength Stats. While this technique can be used regardless of stat differences, opponents with a higher speed can outpace the practitioner and pull away from them, and opponents with higher strength can accelerate more quickly than the practitioner, giving the opponent time to take countermeasures against the practitioner’s attacks. This technique can be used for a number of posts equal to 1/3 of the practitioner's Endurance stat, rounded down.
[Iaido • Samurai’s Procession]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 35 Speed
Building upon the principles established by Phantom Funeral, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arms to produce slashes so fast that they create vacuum blades which travel in the direction of the original slash. These vacuum blades have 3/4th the Speed and Strength of the original slashes, rounded down, and they travel a number of meters equal to 3/4 the practitioner's Taijutsu, rounded down. This technique can be used while moving. The practitioner may adjust the cost of this technique by choosing how many or how few vacuum blades to create.
Requires: [Sword Weapons], [Perception] Concentrations.
*[Iaido • Mantra]

This Discipline represents the practitioner's capacity to consistently execute a sword draw and slash all in one movement by gripping the edge of the scabbard and pulling the scabbard slightly forward before drawing the sword. This Discipline enables the practitioner to immediately draw their sword and attack at the start of combat.
*[Iaido • Weapon Mastery]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Since Iaido is a style that prioritizes speed over brute strength, wise usage of the blade is paramount to the practitioner's success in the style. This Discipline represents the practitioner's knowledge of their weapon's strengths and weaknesses in combat, allowing them to use the weapon more efficiently both inside and outside of its use in Iaido techniques and avoid unnecessarily presenting their weapon's blind spots to the opponent.
**[Iaido • One with the Sheath]
D-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): 8 Speed.
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades. The practitioner can now seamlessly transition from drawing their blade to slash to sheathing their blade, allowing the practitioner to sheath their sword in half the time, up to a maximum speed equal to their Speed stat, for the more rapid execution of Iaido techniques.
[Iaido • Back Draw]
Prerequisite(s): Ambidexterity
C-Rank Kenjutsu Discipline
An unorthodox and difficult skill to master Shinjiro has learned how to harness the Iaido skills from the drawing position of a sword strapped across his back. Any Iaido related technique can be performed from this sword position with the same efficiency as a draw from the waist. The difference is that when drawing and sheathing in this manner the user has learned to utilize only one hand, potentially allowing the user to wield more than one weapon at a time.
*[Iaido • One with the Sword]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • One with the Sheath].
The practitioner has learned how to more quickly and efficiently sheath his blades even without the use of both hands. The practitioner can now sheath the blade just as quickly with one hand as could be done with two hands, and so long as the scabbard remains on their person, the practitioner will always have an exact knowledge of the position of their scabbard.
*[Iaido • Death’s Gate]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed.
Drawing upon the superlative speed of Iaido, the practitioner momentarily torques the muscles in their body to draw their sword from its scabbard and deliver a blindingly fast slash before sheathing their blade. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, they cannot accurately read the attack and will be unlikely to completely avoid the attack, if at all.
*[Iaido • Peace in Death]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed.
An abnormally aggressive technique in Iaido, this technique serves as a preemptive counter, attacking the opponent in the split moment between drawing back to prepare an attack and launching said attack. Violently torquing the muscles in their legs, the practitioner more quickly accelerates to their maximum speed (or instantly accelerating to their max speed if their Strength is equal or higher than their Speed) than with normal movement. With this movement, the practitioner bolts toward the opponent and launches an attack, cutting the opponent as they pass to their side. This technique can be used while moving to immediately change direction instead before launching the attack. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique.
[Iaido • Futile Struggle]
C-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 15 Speed *[Iaido • Mantra].
Making use of the trademark speed of Iaido to intercept enemy attacks, the practitioner draws their blade in a wide arc. This defensive slash allows the practitioner to deflect projectiles and clash with an opponent's weapon. Additionally, so long as the practitioner's Speed is equal to or higher than the opponent's Speed, this technique can be used to intercept and interrupt an opponent's technique or attack by striking the weapon or an area of the opponent's body before the attack reaches maximum strength and staggering them.
*[Iaido • Ancestral Visage]
C-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Using Iaido to its fullest requires a keen eye and quick reactions, enabling its users to target weaknesses and openings that their opponents present almost instantaneously. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to attack openings that present themselves, the practitioner now able to reflexively attack an opening in almost the same moment that it is observed. This Discipline reduces the gap of time between a practitioner recognizing a potential opening for attack and launching the attack to exploit said opening to almost nil.
*[Iaido • Spectral Flight]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): 15 Strength, 25 Speed, *[Iaido • Ancestral Visage].
In order for Iaido to stand toe to toe with a variety of high-level opponents, refining fundamentals to a new height is necessary. This Discipline represents the practitioner's ability to quickly accelerate to max movement speed and decelerate to a full stop at a moment's notice. This does not offer protection against attacks that the practitioner does not know is coming.
*[Iaido • One with the Spirit]
B-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • One with the Sheath], *[Iaido • One with the Sword].
Through incredible amounts of practice, the practitioner of Iaido has learned his weapon and its housing inside and out. The user of this weapon can now reflexively sheath their sword in its scabbard almost instantaneously by instinct with either one hand or both hands without even looking. This facilitates further use of other Iaido techniques.
*[Iaido • Phantom Funeral]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 35 Speed.
The superlative speed of Iaido is harnessed to attain seemingly supernatural feats. By momentarily torquing the muscles in their arms, the practitioner manages slashes so fast that they spawn vacuum blades that follow the trajectory of their original attack. This attack spawns a single vacuum blade that travels up to a number of meters equal to half the practitioner's Speed, rounded down, and hits with 1/2 the Strength of the original attack, rounded down. If this technique is used in tangent with a melee attack, the vacuum blade strikes immediately after the original attack is finished, potentially sealing the opponent's guard and creating an opening. This technique can be used in conjunction with other techniques.
*[Iaido • Silent Passing]
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Death’s Gates].
Unlike most of Iaido's techniques, Silent Passing is not particularly useful in the heat of combat. Instead, it is an attack meant to be executed from a standing position, such as while casually walking towards an opponent. Once in close enough proximity to the opponent, the practitioner draws their sword, strikes the opponent's opening, and sheaths their blade with such speed, it appears to the untrained eye that the practitioner continued to simply walk past their target. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, the opponent will not be capable of fully avoiding this attack if they are in range without some sort of passive defense.
*[Iaido • Sword Spirit Draw]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Overwhelming the opponent with a literal shower of high-speed slashes, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arm to draw their sword and continue to assault the opponent's defenses with a seemingly unending wave of slashes. By torquing the muscles in the arm and twisting the wrist when changing the direction of the slash, each strike of the sword is as fast as if it had been drawn from its scabbard. This technique can be used while moving, and the practitioner can feint strikes within the flurry to throw the opponent off-guard. This technique can be used for up to three posts.
*[Iaido • Afterlife Draw]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Phantom Step Mastery].
By momentarily torquing the muscles in their body, the practitioner launches a series of six blindingly fast slashes, targeting vital areas such as the gut, pelvis, neck and throat, large arteries and veins in limbs, etc., upon which a solid blow would prove fatal. The movement of this technique is so fast that it creates an afterimage of the practitioner as they begin to move, and the afterimage fades after the practitioner has finished executing the move. Properly reading this attack requires the opponent to have a Perception technique of equal or higher rank than this technique. Otherwise, the opponent will not be able to anticipate this technique and fully avoid even one strike, let alone all six.
[Iaido • Eternal Haunting]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver.
Prerequisite(s): *[Iaido • Ancestral Visage].
Pushing past the limits of normal human movement, the practitioner moves at the exact same speed, in the exact same direction, at the exact same time, and for the exact same distance as their opponent. This assures that the opponent will always remain in the practitioner's effective attack range. In order for this technique to operate at its peak efficiency, the practitioner must have a Speed and Strength score equal to or higher than the opponent’s Speed and Strength Stats. While this technique can be used regardless of stat differences, opponents with a higher speed can outpace the practitioner and pull away from them, and opponents with higher strength can accelerate more quickly than the practitioner, giving the opponent time to take countermeasures against the practitioner’s attacks. This technique can be used for a number of posts equal to 1/3 of the practitioner's Endurance stat, rounded down.
[Iaido • Samurai’s Procession]
A-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite(s): 35 Speed
Building upon the principles established by Phantom Funeral, the practitioner torques the muscles in their arms to produce slashes so fast that they create vacuum blades which travel in the direction of the original slash. These vacuum blades have 3/4th the Speed and Strength of the original slashes, rounded down, and they travel a number of meters equal to 3/4 the practitioner's Taijutsu, rounded down. This technique can be used while moving. The practitioner may adjust the cost of this technique by choosing how many or how few vacuum blades to create.
Assassination ArtsShow
The Assassination Arts are a culmination of various skills taught to members of the Karagata family. They emphasise resilience, stealth, detection, the ability to swiftly and precisely dispatch of enemies and the utilities of how to manipulate bladed weapons.
Situational Awareness
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception]
Shinji has developed a keen sense of awareness of his environment. His innate attention to detail allows him to memorize the layout of an area or building as well as having a knack for identifying the entrances and exits as well as the positions of any other people in the area and even important details about that person, allowing him to see through disguises or transformations unless the opponent has a technique to mask their appearance of equal or greater rank. This grants him an almost a sixth sense in combat situations and his constant readiness allows him to more easily detect hostile intent and escape from ambushes.
Constitution
B-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 25 Endurance [Rigid Structure]
Having trained extensively in fighting through adversity and developing a strong will Shinji has developed the ability to fight through the sensations of particularly foul smells and tastes. He will still experience them but can do so without compromising his ability to fight. This also means he is able to avoid the detrimental effects of nausea and dizziness.
Flash Step
B-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite:Close Quarters Combat
After sighting in a target or a destination Shinjiro has learned how to harness his strength and speed to the utmost of his ability. Digging his toes into the ground and pushing his muscles to their limit he is able to instantly accelerate making a dashing motion and attack at great speed, incurring a +9 boost to speed. Due to the nature of the technique he will be committed to his path of travel though able to focus on mental defence, incurring a -6 to his Willpower while in motion. Also, when the attack is complete his muscles will ache due to the strain put on them, incurring a -2 speed reduction for the following 2 posts. The maximum distance he can travel in such a manner is 30 meters.
Combat Intuition
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: 25 Speed, [Perception], [Close Quarters Combat]
A skill to maximize efficiency of movement, Shinji has learned to utilize his head and body movements to avoid incoming attacks without sacrificing maneuverability or speed. So long as he is able to anticipate an opponents attacks he can make minor ducks, shifts and weaves out of the path of most incoming strikes and projectiles, often allowing him to capitalize on counters based on the openings that a miss provides. Though typically Shinji must be able to perceive an incoming attack, after he has evaded a maneuver once he is far more likely to be able to anticipate and predict an opponent’s attack pattern, often beginning his evasion or block the instant an opponent begins their attack.
Lethal Precision
A-rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Deft Hands], [Close Quarters Combat] [Sword Weapons]
Shinjiro has fine tuned his accuracy with his strikes to the point where he can consistently target even a moving target within 1mm of precision as well as being able to find openings in his opponents guard and capitalize on those openings so long as his Speed is greater than or equal to that of his opponent unless they have an adequate defensive technique. This includes his use of bladed weapons and his own limbs.
Anatomy
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Medicine] [Deft Hands]
Having acquired a vast knowledge of the human Anatomy and its weak points Shinjiro can strike in such a way as to cause organ failure from direct stabbing attacks, either with his appendages or a weapon so long as his Strength is at least 5 higher than his opponent, affecting the target accordingly typically though not limited to including symptoms of extreme pain and nausea, potentially leading to fatal consequences. Similarly, connecting muscle groups can easily be severed via bladed strikes rendering entire limbs unusable unless adequate medical treatment is applied.
Organ Harvester
A-Rank Maneuver
Prerequisite: [Deft Hands] [Medicine]
Utilizing immense speed, strength and precision the user is capable of thrusting one’s hand through another’s body so long as the user’s Strength is at least 10 higher than the opponents. This can be done to rip out an entire organ while keeping it intact, shatter an opponent’s rib-cage, sever a spine or simply run their hand entirely through the body of another causing catastrophic damage.
Assassins Fortitude
A-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequitite: [Rigid Structure]
Having grown up exposed to all manner of pain and torture both Shinjiro’s mental tolerance and his pain receptors have been numbed and conditioned to block out pain, allowing him to easily surpass the threshold of most shinobi. He can withstand critical lacerations, burns, fractures, bludgeoning and electrocution without even flinching. This allows him to continue to fight and push through such sensations without impairing his focus. The drawback to such resistance is that he can very easily underestimate how badly he is injured which could lead to potentially fatal consequences. Moreover, breaking genjutsu through pain becomes much more difficult and highly impractical.
Shadow Step
S-Rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite:[Stealth]
Trained in the ways of an Assassin, silent movement is one of the Karagata families most esteemed talents. Shinjiro can move up to his full speed, running or flying without making a sound, be it footsteps, breathing, the drawing of weapons and movement of clothes. Even his heartbeat is slow and undetectable unless an opponent has an enhanced hearing technique of equivalent or higher rank.
Blurred Movement
S-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 25 Speed
Having honed his body to operating at high speeds Shinjiro has developed the ability to blur his movements at will making his fine movements more difficult to determine. If his opponent doesn’t have a perception/motion tracking technique of equal or greater rank then Shinjiro’s actual movements will be invisible to the eye, leaving only an afterimage of himself in his wake that will persist for a full post before fading.
Chakra Concealment
S-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Prerequisite: [Stealth]
The absolute pinnacle of masking one’s presence Shinji has learned to eliminate his vital signs to such an extent that he can mask his chakra signature completely. He becomes completely undetectable by means of chakra sensory unless the opponent has a sensory jutsu of equal or greater rank. He can mask his chakra in such a way for a maximum of 10 posts.
Red Demon
S-Rank Taijutsu Stance
Prerequisite: [Heavenly Taijutsu], 35 Strength
Upon entering this stance Shinji’s blood will run flush through his body, rising to the surface of his skin, turning it red and leaking out of his pores, even his eyes will redden. In addition to oozing out of his skin however his blood will begin to form an aura around him in a 15-meter radius that spreads at a speed equal to his strength that follows him as he moves, acting like a thin mist of blood that will soak into the clothes and any open orifices of anyone who enters the mist. This stance can last for up to 7 posts and upon dispersal the bloody mist will pulse outward to a 25-meter radius at a speed equal to his strength, shedding the rest of the blood on the surface of Shinji’s skin and anything soaked into his clothes before returning his skin tone to normal.
[Vibration Sense]
S-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception]
Becoming finely attuned with his sense of touch and even his ability to hear low frequencies Shinji had developed the ability to feel vibrations extremely acutely. He can detect the slightest movements within a 15-meter radius of himself through solid surfaces, 25 meters if standing on water or within mist or rain and a 10-meter radius from the air itself. From this he can detect the size anything moving around him and their direction as well as approximate weight. This is only effective on moving targets.
Wind Dragon Tempest
S-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: 40 Strength, 40 Speed, [Sword Weapons]/i], [Heavenly Body Control]
Sighting in a target Shinji will tense his muscles before making an instantaneous dash, propelling himself up to a distance of 50 meters. This movement is so fast that it takes up one of the two allotted teleportation’s per thread. Shinji will follow up this dash with a slashing strike with so much speed and force that a tornado of cutting winds forms around him, delivering multiple cuts moving and striking with a Speed and Strength equal to Shinji’s Strength stat. These winds travel outward to a radius of 35 meters.

Bone BreakerShow
Quote:Bone Breaker Style was created by shinobi in order to disable another fighter quickly in a fight to prevent them from utilizing limbs, and weathering the opponent down by short powerful strikes aimed at weak spots in the skeletal structure to fracture or break entirely. The style is strongly based off the strength and skill of the user. If a user is strong they can snap bones easily, but if they are uncoordinated the style is essentially useless, same if it was the other way around, a weak person cannot snap bones no matter how well they're coordinated. The style is an utterly brute and ruthless one used to typical lethally injure or disable an opponent for other means.
