Physical Features:
- Face/head: Kozue has a youthful and kind face. His eyes shine with a bright amber hue and his medium-length messy hair conveys a mossy green colored tint, sometimes actually covered in bits of moss and twigs. While his skin is rather pale and surprisingly clear of blemishes it is often covered in a layer of dirt.
- Body: The young boy is rather lean and thin with no notable fat or muscle definition to speak of. However, his proportions are rather odd. His arms and legs are significantly longer than what would be considered normal for his frame, though he is still rather small overall. When crouching his knees stick up higher than his leg and similarly, his lanky arms seem gangly and awkward. Overall he has a 5ft reach when standing with his arms perpendicular to his body and his legs make up 2/3 of his height compared to the average half ratio.

Personality:
- General: Kozue is a friendly, if a little naïve of an individual. He believes in the best in others and lives a simple life, living off the land and only taking what he needs. Nature is his home, and he is fiercely protective over the environment though he doesn’t believe in killing unless it is to hunt for food or other means of sustainability which includes defense against invasive or particularly aggressive predators.
He can be rather flippant in his desires, often being easily distracted by new forms of adventure and not putting much thought into his decisions. However, once he makes up his mind, he will continue to pursue his passion until something else catches his eye to distract him toward a new destination or ambition. - Hopes/Dreams: Kozue wishes to explore the world and experience all sorts of new biomes, natural wonders and environmentally friendly technologies, making friends wherever he can along the way.
- Fears: Being forced to fight in a war or serve someone else’s agenda
- Combat Mentality:Typically he will aim to subdue his opponents through hit and run tactics, avoiding combat whenever possible

Abilities and Concentrations
Kekkei Genkai:Numakon
The Numakon trait is a rare ability found once every several generations in people all across river country. The ability itself is said to be the result of fornication with swamp spirits, though the actual causes are unknown. The ability itself provides its owners with a long, prehensile tongue (roughly three feet in length) that functions as an extra limb, stronger than average legs which allow them to jump twice the height and/or distance their strength would indicate, along with sticky saliva that is produced in copious amounts thanks to incredibly active saliva glands, which grows more powerful with age and use, primarily dependent on their Endurance to determine its strength. Skilled Children of Takiyasha have also been known to channel their frog genes outwards in strange and esoteric ways.

Perfect Crime
D-rank Taijutsu Manuever
By quickly spitting out their tongue and sucking it back in, the clan member can grab hold of small objects up to the size of a small scroll, and hide it within their mouths, able to speak/act normally while it is there without ruining the object.
Wall Climber
D-rank Taijutsu Manuever
By applying a small amount of their special saliva to their hands and/or feet, the clan member can stick their palms and feet to objects such as walls and climb them with relative ease and little fear of falling.
Connecting Conundrum
C-rank Taijutsu Manuever
Having learned to master their incredibly sticky spit, the user can spit, leaving a string of saliva to their mouth, and then spit again at another object, connecting the two. The saliva will continue to stretch and connect the two objects up to the saliva's strength in meters.
Raucous Reel
C-rank Taijutsu Manuever
Further mastering their odd saliva, the user can spit, leaving a string of saliva connecting to his mouth, and then suck in with force, pulling the object towards him at a speed equal to the saliva's strength.
Rainy Season
B-rank Taijutsu Manuever
Forming a large glob of their saliva in their mouths, the user will spit with their mouths mostly shut. This creates a spray of their saliva in an area around them with a diameter of [Strength+Endurance] in meters, raining down from the sky like a sprinkler, and soaking just about anything in that area in the members saliva.
Bubble Shower
B-rank Taijutsu Manuever
Forming an "O" shape with their mouths, and blowing out while pushing their spit with it, the clan member creates a spray of hundreds of bubbles that float through the air in the direction they're facing at a Speed and Strength equal to their [Strength+Endurance/2]. When these sticky bubbles pop on an object, they cover an approximate 3-inch radius circle each. The bubbles will pop on their own after 4 posts if left to their own devices.

Kushou-Ryu SoujutsuShow
Kushou-Ryu Soujutsu, or spear techniques, are a collection of Taijutsu techniques focussed around the use of polearms. The techniques can be used interchangeably for users of spears, staves, glaives and similar weapons. These techniques were developed by the military of the Holy City of Towers, rumored to have been passed from the Holy Mother herself to the males of her land centuries ago. Those who wish to learn the secret techniques of the style must travel there and convince them to teach them. The style itself revolves around keeping the user’s weapon and body moving in order to maneuver around an opponent’s guard, or beat their way through it. Requires: [Polearm Weapons] and [Deft Hands].
* Kushou・The Courtier Taps his Fan
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
This simple technique involves proper use of the pole of the user’s weapon to deflect blows. By properly angling and maneuvering their spear or staff they can deflect other like weapons, hand to hand blows or even sword blows by striking the right place at the right time, even while in motion.
* Kushou・Low Wind Rising
D-Ranked Taijutsu Stance
The foundational stance of the Kushou style, Low Wind Rising involves the spinning of the user’s spear or polearm around their body constantly whilst remaining in motion. While in this stance, the user will be able to deflect projectiles with less strength than their own, while also making unpredictable movements of their spear.
* Kushou・Parting the Silk
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: * Kushou・Low Wind Rising
This simple technique involves engaging an opponent’s weapon or one of their arms and moving it slightly to one side with the user’s weapon. This creates a very small opening which the user then exploits by kicking the opponent, keeping their weapon guarding the opponent’s arms.
* Kushou・The Swallow Takes Flight
D-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user will vault themselves into the air using their polearm and then unleash a powerful blow from above. This technique is used to disorient and surprise foes as well as overpower them as it strikes with all of the user’s body weight and momentum from the spin they perform in the air in order to strike with the spear that was touching the ground moments before.
* Kushou・Twisting the Wind
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: * Kushou・Low Wind Rising
This is the core technique of the Kushou Style. The user will begin in the Low Wind Rising stance and then approaches their opponent. They will begin with a wide arcing blow to begin this combination of blows. Following this they will spin their polearm and their body as they follow their opponent across the battlefield, chasing them down as they block and evade. This technique takes the user’s entire post, and can strike a number of times equal to half their speed. Those who block more than one blow will suffer a -3 to Strength for 3 posts as the weapon’s momentum and force jars their body.
* Kushou・The Swallow Rides the Wind
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: * Kushou・The Swallow Takes Flight
The user of this technique must first launch themselves high into the air as if with The Swallow Takes Flight. They will then begin to spin and unleash a flurry of blows from above. The user is capable of performing up to three strikes in the air, each of them prolonging the user’s airtime. The Swallow Rides the Wind is useful as it maintains the advantageous high ground and all of the forward momentum toward the opponent throughout all of its blows, giving the user an effective +6 Strength and -6 Control for the three blows.
* Kushou・The River Undercuts the Bank
B-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
The user of this technique will first block an incoming strike. Then, they will almost immediately cease resisting, causing the opponent to fall forward slightly and lose their balance provided they do not possess a Perception technique of equal or greater rank. This successfully created opening allows the user to raise the lower end of their weapon to strike from inside the opponent’s guard, typically at either the groin or the chin with full strength.
* Kushou・Whirlwind on the Mountain
A-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerquisite: * Kushou・Twisting the Wind
The user of this technique begins a relentless onslaught upon an opponent. They take a moment to prepare their legs before dashing forward. This technique is used to pursue opponents and wear them down with repeated spinning attacks. Opponents with a speed lower than the user’s will find it difficult to safely move away from the user while they pursue them. Those that block or are hit by two or more blows will have their Strength reduced by 6 because of the jarring nature of the blows for 6 posts.

History
Historical AccountsShow
Kozue was born in one of many small fishing villages along a main trade route in River country. He never knew his father, though such a thing was quite common among the river folk. But his mother was a hardworking yet kind woman. When she bore a son with the Numekin trait she did not treat him any different and instead encouraged him to make the most of his unique gifts. From a young age Kozue learned to do his part to provide for the village, fishing, hunting and helping to mend nets and even repair buildings with his sticky saliva all by the age of 5.
He felt truly a part of the community. But interacting with foreigners passing through the main rivers for trade were always his favorite encounters, hearing stories from around the world and trading animal skins for trinkets and toys crafted from metals and materials not commonly found in the river lands. He even received Kushou-Ryu Soujutsu lessons from a travelling adventurer in exchange for food and lodging in his and his mother’s home. He took to the staff quicker than any skill he had learned before.
Though, things would not remain so stable in the Riverlands. Life was already difficult with high taxes and a great deal of poverty and disease. But then came war, a group of mercenaries stormed the capitol and took hold of the country by force. There were promises of shared wealth, better standards of living but the people were skeptical. Rumors ran rampant of various conspiracies, enough to distrust the newcomers. Fearing their village might come under attack Kozue and his mother set off on their own, going into hiding, while others fled the country, rallied by a local hero and legend Iiyashi Fuhen. As much as Kozue wanted to travel with that man, he couldn’t bring himself to leave his homeland.
That had proved to be a mistake, as three years later his mother was killed by a giant spider while he was out fishing, leaving him an orphan living with only a handful of other stragglers and misfits they had come across in their years moving through the vast swamps. Reluctant to expose himself, Kozue picked up bits of information here and there as he slowly integrated back into the main villages and learned of the changes to the nation and the greater war in the world. Now, as the conflicts finally ceased, he seeks to explore the world and find his place once more.
