[Organization] Seven Swordsmen of the Mist

Post by Archives » Fri Mar 29, 2019 12:39 pm

Seven Swordsmen of the Mist
Widely considered to be the paragons of varying forms of Kenjutsu, the Seven Swordsmen are Kirigakure's elite and were recruited to the small group specially for their extreme service, skill, or ability. Their group has a number of duties with the first being protecting Kiri from outside threats and internal ones, as well. Assigned to the most dangerous and most important missions, the Swordsmen can be called to handle high level threats, ambassadorial missions, and protective detail for the Daimyo when necessary. Even serving as bodyguards for the MIzukage when traveling outside of the country.
“Life and Death on the edge of one’s blade…”

Type of Organization: Central Org
Location of the Organization's Main Base: The Primary Headquarters of the SSM is currently located in upper levels of the Main Administration building, where the Overseer can often be found during the day when not on missions, in meetings, or performing other duties, as well as a meeting room, armory, and a 'library'. Upon entering through the front door the Overseer's office is through a door on the left, the meeting room is on the right, and further down the hallway is a door to the 'library'. The library consists of records of all past members as well as missions. The armory acts as a vault for any and all specialized swords of past, present, and future members as well as holding various ninja tools and equipment that the Swordsmen may make use of. Given the location and the Swordsmen present upon the premises, this location is very secure.

Within a 200 meter proximity to the Administration building is a a domed building about 100 meters in circumference at the foundation and 6 stories tall. This building is locked up tight, and contains an 80 meter wide arena, complete with a 20 meter wall to contain whatever techniques are going on within the arena. The floor of the arena is dirt and grass, and it is even complete with a small lake on one side of the arena for suiton users. On the outskirts of the arena walls there is a rather large shack that contains all manner of training paraphernalia, including all manner of simple bladed weapons for those swordsman wishing to diversify their knowledge of swordsmanship. It is important to note that the building has no windows, and is instead filled with ceiling lights to keep the arena well lit, as well as a ventilation system to cycle the air out. All members of the Seven swordsman, as well as their Daggers, have keys to allow them access to this building whenever they wish.

Description of the Organization: The group is composed of only seven official members, recruited personally by the MIzukage or the current Leader of the Swordsmen. Underneath these members are a subgroup of members known as ‘Daggers’. The members of this Junior Group' are direct students of the current Swordsmen and should their mentor retire, die, or turn traitor, then the Dagger responsibility is to replace them within the Swordsman Group, if they qualify or can prove themselves against a current Swordsmen as an equal. The Daggers will often accompany their Swordsmen on Missions or in times of crisis they will help the Swordsmen in their duties. The Swordsmen maintain a strict ranking system from 1-7 and assert authority over those ranked lower than them with 1 being the highest ranked and 7 the lowest. Their Daggers subsequently mirror the status of the swordsman they shadow. A swordsman may challenge a higher ranked member in order to advance up the rankings and take their place, pushing everyone else below them down one rank. However, it is not permitted to challenge one another while deployed on an official mission.
Requirements of the Organization:
  • A type of sword weapon
  • Special Jounin rank or higher for applicants wishing to join the official Seven Swordsmen rank.
  • Genin through chuunin may be accepted for the Dagger rank.
  • Applicants must fight a current swordsmen (Winning is not mandatory).
  • Know at least ten Kenjutsu techniques (5 techniques for Dagger applicants).

Focus of the Blade:
A single shoulder pauldron worn by ratified members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, the pauldron is iron grey, with the insignia of the SSM inscribed into it and laced with gold. The pauldron offers no defensive bonus, but acts as a D-rank sensory enhancement for the wearers sight, hearing, and sense of smell. This small enhancement of the senses allows the swordsmen you keep perfect awareness of opponents within 3m of them; increasing their combat efficiency.

Organization’s Jutsu
TaijutsuShow
​​Pivot
D-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
[Close Quarters Combat]
When moving at any speed, the user is able to pivot on their foot to perform an about face, and return in the opposite direction without sacrificing any speed or awareness of their surroundings. Allowing them to rapidly turn back on and surprise opponents.

[Exchange]
C-rank Taijutsu Discipline
[Sword]
Due to their experience with each other, members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist are able to reliably utilize each other's weapons in the event they come into possession with them. The receiving swordsmen does not need any time to figure out how to utilize the sword, and think about how to integrate it into their fighting style, but are able to do so intuitively and naturally.

[Toss]
C-rank Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisites: [Close Quarters]
The user will toss their sword in such a way as to send the grip of their weapon towards a target, typically another member of the Seven. In doing so with the intent of passing the weapon harmlessly, the user ensures that the recipient needs no techniques to catch the weapon without harm or detriment.

Unity
B-rank Taijutsu Discipline
[Close Quarters Combat]
Having spent large periods of time training together, the Seven Swordsmen are adept at seamlessly adapting their fighting styles to each others presence. This allows the swordsmen to efficiently tee each other up for opportunities to attack opponents, anticipate and avoid each other’s attacks, and even conduct complex tactical maneuvers without overtly communicating them to each other.
