SHUNPO

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)

[/i][/color]
Rank: D-D-D-D-D
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Stamina: Low
Special: Shunpo is a high-speed movement in which the user travels in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunpo can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo.
Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

Shunpo-Jin (Light Step Advance)[/i][/color]
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: Shunpo!
Stamina: --
Special: Gives the user the option to perform a Shunpo that allows the user to curve in the direction of their target. If the target is out of the user's Shunpo range, the user will be drawn as close as possible.
Description: Although Shunpo is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the Taijutsu Master can learn to read an opponent's movement and Shunpo in a curved way towards their target's last known location. With the angled attack, it increases the user's ability to strike after the Shunpo.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

UNIVERSAL TAIJUTSU

Hien (Flying Swallow)

[/i][/color]
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: See Special!
Stamina: High
Special: Extends the blade of any bladed weapon through chakra by fifty percent (50%) of the blade's total length the first time learned; each time retrained, ten percent (10%) of the blade's total length is added.
Description: By unconsciously feeding their chakra into any bladed weapon, the user will manage to extend the length of the weapon by providing an extra extension of visible chakra. This creation will yield an extremely sharp edge that functions like the normal blade itself. By seeing only the user's bladed weaponry, the opponent may miss the Hien and misjudge how far they need to move to avoid an incoming strike. As a result, even if they manage to avoid the metal portion of the blade, the chakra portion may cut into them as well.
Domain: Universal Taijutsu.

Is this completed?

[AKABARA NO SABAKU ~]

Updated.

[KEITH]

I believe you have to start with the bare minimum of 3 secondary weapons and 3 accessories, when starting with a new character. Though, what you have in your accessories is fine.

The pink font is extremely difficult to read on the white skin. I'm aware that it will probably look fantastic on a darker skin, like the black one, however, one of the requirements for the bios here is that the fonts must be visible on all the skins, as a courtesy.

Please replace the pink font with something else, then let one of us know and you can get a 2/2. Everything else looks great.
