Weapon Crafting
Quote:Weapons Crafting
With large amounts of experience in the forge and with creation, individuals with this concentration are able to craft and create most types of weapons and armor. While this typically doesn’t grant the individual himself any additional powers, it allows him to make more powerful tempered gear for himself and shinobi than what can typically be found. However, those with such familiarity with weapons and armor are often skilled at noticing the strengths and weaknesses of weapons they face, and allow them to more easily exploit them.
Requires [Deft Hands] Concentration
Jutsu
Repel (Iron)
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
As Hitori no Otoko focuses on single strikes and quickly ending one-on-one combat, practitioners have learned to utilize their opponents' strength as an asset. If a strike is blocked or met with any resistance, the samurai is able to quickly release all force they're creating, and fall away from the resistance, propelling them backward [Strength] meters, where [Strength] is the strength they were resisted with. This allows the samurai to regroup and prepare their next assault.
Draw Strike (iron)
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
As practitioners of Hitori no Otoko carry their blades on their back, they often will first strike with a downward slash. With this technique, the samurai unsheathes their weapons and attacks the opponent in one single motion, going for a diagonal downwards strike, typically across the opponents midsection. If execute properly, this can be done while passing a target, allowing the samurai to continue forward to their next opponent.
Ambidexterity (Iron / Iaido)
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.
Last Breath (Iaido)
D-Rank Taijutsu Maneuver
The most iconic (and most basic) strike of Iaido, the practitioner quickly draws and cuts with their blade in a wide arc in one fluid motion. This simultaneous draw and attack straight from the scabbard makes Iaido well-suited for an initial surprise attack and for taking advantage of openings presented by the opponent.
Anti-Shinobi
C-rank Taijutsu Discipline
Prerequisite: [Perception]
Trained in opposing shinobi, this samurai has learned to recognize when shinobi are about to use jutsu, instantly recognizing chakra channeling intuitively, even as the glow of chakra is forming or movements that signal towards forming hand seals. This allows the samurai to adapt his attack, may it be through arrow or sword, to prevent the execution of such jutsu.
HistoryShindo comes from a small family in the land of iron. Their Name has been stricken from history due to a crime committed long ago, killing a sacred bear spirit. for their insolence they were cursed with the voracity and violence of a raging bear. this curse twists their form to something more ursine & feral. Over the centuries this family has dwindled down to one small line all inside an inn called Sanctuary, well known for it's dueling ring and rowdy atmosphere. despite this upbringing Shindo has remained soft spoken, gentle, and remarkably level headed. He always had a passion for the culinary arts whether baking grilling or otherwise. He didn't have much of a natural aptitude for traditional swordsman ship but had a very inquisitive nature. constantly trying new seasonings, new ingredients, even new techniques drawing from all aspects of his life, becoming quite adept with an axe by chopping wood. his non combative nature seemed even spared him from the curse until he was a young adult almost 19 years old something changed. After a particularly energetic night a few patrons were seriously injured by the bouncer, shindo's father, this wasn't the first time he had gone far but he didnt stop fighting when he got put in the cell. It fell to Shindo to watch the family business in his absence. While his father made the other villagers uneasy, there was never really any outright hostility due to the kindness & of his Mother and Grandma Kamomīru. Grandma had long since gone senile and often fished quietly in the pond behind the building . the night before had been particularly draining as granny had been missing since early that morning, and many of the soldiers were on getting drunk on leave. a couple patrons had wandered out back to granny's pond and had start skipping rocks on the water. when Shindo seemingly appearing from nowhere with a cheshire smile started to ask them to return to the common area or leave one rock was thrown far harder than it was meant to be. freezing as he saw his grandmother hit the ground and the world turning into a kaleidoscope of colors, noise, taste, and hunger. a hunger unlike any he'd ever known. everything went dark, and then light again. he awoke to his eyes stinging, his hands, and feet bound. He realized with all things it was fishing line, why would he be tied up with fishing line? wait why am i tied up at all? and then he felt it. that raging hunger, that primal curiosity, and he remembered the rock, the men, the blood, and then a casting net? he was terrified that such a horrible feeling
