Ju Kenshi

[Anmida]

Ju Kenshi, or Heavy Blade Skill, is a Taijutsu Fighting Style similar to Kenjutsu in its basic approach to swordplay. However, where Kenjutsu deals with conventional weapons of the katana-sized realm, Ju Kenshin allows for those strong enough to wield massive blades to do so with style. Through sheer strength and honed skill, the user of Ju Kenshi learns with time to steer their heavy blade as if they were wielding a gentle brush, it's tip wet with ink and ready to paint a most elegant picture.

Though heavy weapons can be cumbersome in the hands of the inexperienced, a Ju Kenshi master can make magic out of these otherwise unconsidered blades for conduct. Unwieldy no more when in the hands of an expert, Ju Kenshi users and masters are individuals truly to be feared.

2. By choosing this weapon-style of taijutsu, users cannot use any other form of weapon-based taijutsu. This style requires the user to dedicate themselves to mastering the art of heavy weaponry\great swords, thusly making them highly inefficient at wielding smaller swords and such.[/ul][/div][/blockquote][/blockquote]

MASTERY

• Tier 1 - Muchikaisai (Ignorantly Held): Though normally wielded with both hands to enhance the accuracy and power behind their monstrous technique, those who've reached this level of mastery are now able to perform Jū Kenshi with nearly any grip they feel necessary (one-handed, reversed, etc.) without suffering any added strain or further impairing their mobility or effectiveness.
  
  
• Tier 2 - Musumehagi (Spinner Lancet): For an additional chakra cost of x2 High, this allows the user to reach ranged targets previously out of reach. After a charge and briefly cocking back their blades, Ju Kenshi practitioners will toss their blade with such power, strength and speed that it maintains flight at extreme velocity, flying like a dart towards wherever it was aimed at (within 20 meters), and decimating anything it comes into contact with. The flight path is usually circular, and gives the Ju Kenshi a chance to reach distant foes and let their blade tear enemies asunder, while also allowing it to return to them, akin to a boomerang. If the blades path is obstructed by something higher in rank, however, it will be stopped, and the 'boomerang' return effect will be canceled.
  
  
• Tier 3 - Hoshiuchikudaku (Shatter Star): True masters of the Ju Kenshi style have learned the full intricacies of charging and loading their weapons, and gain increased capability within the art. Once per thread, those who've gained this mastery can completely ignore the charge time for the usage of a single Ju Kenshi technique, allowing them to perform any of their specialized fighting style attacks near instantly. The user is restricted to C Rank and lower Ju Kenshi techniques after this mastery is utilized. Masters of Ju Kenshi also reduce the charge time of Senchineru Taidenkougeki (Charged Attack Sentinel) by one turn to a minimum of one turn.

Senchineru Taidenkougeki (Charged Attack Sentinel)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low - High per strike

[/b]: The charging process is disrupted when physical contact by anything other than the user is made with their weapon (the user cannot Charge while in the middle of defending/attacking with the blade). While charging, the user moves at half their regular speed.

The cost of Ju Kenshi techniques is added onto the cost offered for this charge ability.

Charging a weapon with a LOW increment of chakra doubles its weight; charging a weapon with a MID increment of chakra triples its weight; and charging a weapon with a HIGH increment of chakra quadruples its weight. However, it should be noted that the user does not feel this change and wield the blade as if it were its relatively light (as effectively as one can wield a traditional sword, like a katana). Low charge requires one turn to fully charge; Mid requires two turns and High requires 3 turns.[/ul]

Gekitotsu (Clash Crash)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Inkaten (Flash Point)

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule

[/b]: This technique can only be used against piercing/stabbing/blunt taijutsu attacks attempting to concentrate damage into a single point against the Ju Kenshi practitioner.[/ul]

Zankokuha (Brutality Edge)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Miniscule, Low

[/b]: By default, the user can launch a victim one meter into the air. However, for a LOW increment of chakra, the user can increase this distance to three meters.[/ul]

Sorasetsudanchen (Chain Severing Sky)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low, Mid

[/b] in place, creating a vicious circle of bladed slashes, striking their opponent multiple times as they become a veritable spinning top of destruction, aimed to cut foes completely in half at the waist.

Note: By offering a second "MID" increment of chakra, instead of the base one Low, the user’s spin can deal five strikes.[/ul]

Mukou (Void)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low, Mid

[/b]: By offering a MID increment of chakra, instead of the base one LOW, the user can create crater that is five meters deep. This ‘knock down’ effect can, of course, only be formed on surfaces which would logically allow for it.[/ul]

Wabisuke (The Penitent One)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

[/u] the weight of their blade, making all but the mightiest of foes unable to wield their own swords.

Note: This technique can backfire on the user if used against another practitioner of the Ju Kenshi style, who decides to counter with this same technique. Affects an enemy’s weapon only; it cannot be used on parts of the body, accessories, etc. If successful, the victim’s weapon will remain at this weight for a total of five posts.[/ul]

Shinkounohiyaku (Leap of Faith)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)

Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

[/b]: This technique can only be used with the HIGH version of the Charged Attack Sentinel technique. Furthermore, this technique is capable of knocking up to three enemies a total of ten meters away.[/ul]

Rokudenashi-ryo (Bastard Charge)
Rank: SS
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: -

[/b]: This skill must be quested for and cannot be bought until after quest is complete. With this, the user can charge and hold the chakra to perform four Ju Kenshin techniques in succession. The charge times and chakra cost stack, but so does the weight of the weapon in question.[/ul][/div][/blockquote]
