FACADE

[/style][style=width: 425px; padding: 15px; color: #816f74; font-family: helvetica; font-size:9px; text-align: justify; height: 150px; overflow: auto;]✖ Height; 6'4"
✖ Weight; 200lbs
✖ Skin Tone; Light- Wrinkled after incident in Iwagakure
✖ Eye Color; Green
✖ Hair Color; Thin and black

✖ Appearance; Akio's armor, as many ninja have noted, is a an enhancement on the ancient Samurai armor, using the ancient typical achievements of older armor, but now with the most modern technological enhancements. The armor itself is a jet black, skin tight metallic substance made of several plates shaped to fit the body and articulate almost perfectly. On the back is placed the kanji for "Samurai" in an emblazoned white. Many have wondered how the armor is released. It simple pops apart on his muscles command, the joints connecting the front armor to the back plates coming apart and becoming unhinged. The armor also includes the addition of a jet black cape that flows to the feet, and can also detach at will. More a fashion statement than a true protectorate.

Without clothing, one can see Akio's quality training from his clan's rigorous work. Akio is lithe, each muscle defined, though not bulging. His skin was once healthily tanned, but due to an incident at Iwagakure where which he was electrocuted by a rogue ninja, Akio's skin is dark. Wrinkled. Making him look well into his middle ages despite being young. In order for this to be seen however one must remove the armor. His eyes retain a young blue, and hair, once beautiful is short and frayed.

Without his armor Akio is wrinkled, and scarred in several places. His hands hold calluses from rigorous training.

ASPECT

[/style][style=width: 445px; padding: 15px; color: #816f74; font-family: helvetica; font-size:9px; text-align: justify; overflow: auto;]✖ He was trained since birth to follow the order of Balance, averting conflict as best he could. If force is necessary he will use it, though he will attempt to resolve conflict without the use of his blade. Besides this, he attempts to be the traveling knight, finding where his services are needed. Occasionally he has taken a mission with a Hidden Village if it is proven to be beneficial to others, showing that his services are flexible. He has been taught that he world is an ever evolving mix of conflict and opinion. They must be respected, though some, contained.

He acts cautiously, treading carefully as to not act rash. He does not seek battle, but will accept it. Around others, when comfortable, he is charitable, talkative, and seeks a social time. Many do not believe him to be a fighter until they see both the blade and his ability. Although he is not quickly trusting, he will be friendly with those around him despite the trouble times the world is in.

✖ PARENTS:

✖ SIBLINGS: None ^{Only Child}

✖ HISTORY;

Tetsu No Kuni raises no cowards, and Akio's parent's would raise no fool. As per many in his age group the young Samurai Akio would find himself tasked with objectives that even normal shinobi would find odd, besides ordinary things such as combat. He excels at painting in various mediums, poetry, can read and write, cook, clean, and establish a well-rounded life should he not have been chosen to be a Samurai. As part of his more elitist training, Akio was trained as all Samurai in advanced Kenjutsu arts and skills with and without the blade. He maintains a good concept of personal combat and battle field tactic, and performs well under pressure. He was very obviously a true soldier.

As he grew older and donned his first set of Samurai armor after his ritual of instilling the customed seal onto his body, Akio was trained just a little further in ninja arts after realizing he could not produce handsigns. The boy was not worried, he had never used such things in his life. In fact he though them silly.

Growing even older, Akio has been entrusted as a Samurai diplomat and envoy, traveling to the Hidden Villages to help restore order and peace and balance. This has been his true profession for quite some time.

I. Incident at Iwagakure Gates

[/u][/center]

Within his travels Akio came upon escorting a woman to Iwagakure. He reached the Gate just as, unluckily, an enemy ninja attacked Iwagakure itself. Akio's skill allowed him to gravely wound the enemy ninja, and force him to flee, but lost the envoy he was meant to protect. He as well suffered massive lightning damage from the assault. If not for a medical ninja on the battlefield that day, Akio would be dead.

II. Capturing The Sanbi

Akio was within Konohagakure when his command told him of the masked man who had released a tailed beast to the Land of Water. He traveled to the island of the disturbance, finding many ninja all in contest to harness the beast's power. Through several many rigors, he reached the center island where one ninja remained, and managed to scare the ninja away. From there, Sanbi imbedded itself into Akio, and he now holds the Tailed Beast.

SPOILER: Click to show

Ronin-Satsugai no Fuin (Seal of the Bladed Warrior)[300]
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary / Juuinjutsu (Seals & Barriers)
Range: -
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Essentially doubles the Samurai's chakra capacity when activated by opening their chakra pathways, in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontonkou (although less barbaric). However, because of this, it prevents Samurai from molding chakra finely in terms of jutsu, making handseals and whatnot useless due to the sudden chakra rush. Upon being accepted as a Samurai, this seal is place on the user. Cannot be bought and instead must be RP'ed out as part of the Samurai's initiation.
Description: The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is usually placed on the chest.
Domain: Samurai.

Chakura no Kishu (Chakra Form Manipulation)[100]
Rank: B.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Self
Chakra: x2 Mid to cast, Low to sustain.
Special: This is the basis for all Naideshou Gonyuu techniques, allowing the user to branch into more complex and intricate methods. Beyond that, however, the user can coat their weapon in a loosely compacted “sheath” of chakra, serving as a buffer between the sword and technique which require contact to activate. This ‘buffer’ automatically drains chakra from the user equivalent to the technique it connects with.
Description: The most innate and basic of all Samurai abilities, this technique acts as the base to all of the armored warriors chakra related abilities. Although samurai don't use handseals and jutsu, they nonetheless have learned to bypass seals as a medium for their chakra, using instead in its raw form and manipulating it to their bidding, usually in the form of an offensive weapon. As the Samurai grows more experienced with this technique, their creations become grander and grander.
Domain: Naideshou Gonyuu.


Kyuushen (Weapon Sharpness)[325]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Chakra: Mid to cast and sustain.
Special: This ability determines the strength (cutting power) of all sub-chakra techniques. Likewise, it determines how sharp they are capable of making their own sword.
D: The d-rank version of this technique marginally increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through leather-based armor.
C: The c-rank version of this technique moderately increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing it to easily dig into steel-based armor.
B: The b-rank version of this technique greatly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through steel armor and weaponry (up to six inches thick).
A: The a-rank version of this technique vastly increases the blade’s cutting strength, allowing easy passage through large obstructions (such as trees, boulders, concrete, etc up to two feet thick).
S: The s-rank version of this technique increases the blade’s cutting strength to peerless levels. At this rank, the sword can effortlessly pass through elementary chakra-infused barriers (equivalent to the blade’s length) and any other man-made materials.
Description: A basic training technique that supplements all of the Samurai's chakra creations, this will determine the sharpness and strength behind their chakra manipulation. By coating their weaponry in chakra, the user can increase the sharpness of their blade indefinitely.
Domain: Naideshou Gonyuu.

Sorekiri (Weapon Deployment) [75]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S.
Type: Offensive.
Range: 0 – 10 meters.
Chakra: D - Mid, C - x2 Mid, B - High, A - x2 High.
Special: Allows the Samurai to release their chakra cutters in a projectile like form after swinging them towards their target. The number of projectiles the user can deploy with a single usage of the technique increases with rank.
D: 1 projectile.
C: 2 projectiles.
B: 3 projectiles.
A: 4 projectiles.
S: 5 projectiles.
Description: Now that the samurai has gotten familiar with creating bladed chakra weaponry with and without the assistance of a base, they are able to propel their creations into a straight, linear form. Fast moving and dangerous, the chakra cutters rely their size, shape, strength and power entirely on how well the Samurai has honed and trained their chakra manipulations skills.
Domain: Naideshou Gonyuu.

Bourei (Weapon Creation)[75]
Rank: D, C, B, A
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Chakra: D - Mid, C - x2 Mid, B - High, A - x2 High.
Special: Can create any simple, non-special weapon shape when the Samurai is weaponless. The highest rank known determines the baseline size of a creation, and the length at which it can extend (double its original size). It should be noted that, despite being made of chakra, these weapon’s weight scale with their size.
D: 1 weapon, 2 meter extension.
C: 2 meter weapon, 4 meter extension.
B: 3 meter weapon, 6 meter extension.
A: 4 meter weapon, 8 meter extension.
Description: This variation to the Chakra Form Manipulation grants the samurai the ability of creating a chakra weapon out of thing air, whenever combat has rendered them without their normal armament. Taking the shape of weapon whatever the Samurai desires, the user's pure chakra maintains the weapon as long as there is enough chakra to fuel it.
Domain: Naideshou Gonyuu.


Samurai Secret Technique of the Akira: Always Among Friends [325]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Specialized Selfish Professional Ninjutsu
Range: See Special
Handseals: -- (requires a charge time equivalent to 4 handseals)
Chakra:

Low, Low x2, Mid, Mid x2, High (to create)
Mid per turn to maintain

Special: The user creates a set of five chakra blades manifested at waist length. These cannot be created outside of a range of five meters, and maintain the standard size of a katana. The swords can be manipulated to the maximum range of the user's Chakra Manipulation technique. The swords can be destroyed by techniques of equal or greater strength.
Description: Among the Samurai belongs a common theory, "The Samurai is never weaponless" testimony to their abilities to craft nearly any weapon out of their manipulated chakras. While this theory has indeed been proven many a time, it is not always quite as effective. In Akio's travels he has discovered that though able to maintain a weapon, he is often forced to travel alone and combat more than one opponent. To combat this conundrum, Akio developed a technique akin to ninja themselves, crafting more than one weapon in the same way fashion that ninja may control larger and more grand objects. This technique has spawned a new mandate, that the Samurai is not only never weaponless, "the Samurai is always among friends".
Domain: Samurai, Akio Akira, Chakra Manipulation of equal Rank, Kyuushen.

✖ Kendo;

Cunning Mind[325]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: N/A
Special: Allows the user to become highly perceptive of their opponent, allowing them to analyze their mannerisms in order to zone in on weaknesses and vulnerable areas to strike. It is important to note that while this does not automatically grant the user evasion against one single attack, this allows the user to have a much, much improved chance at understanding a Taijutsu attack one rank lower than the highest one known.
Description: Through repeated duals, clashing of swords and study of adversaries, the user has gained an uncanny knack for analysis. This manifests itself in numerous ways, such as discovering hidden weaknesses, finding vulnerable points in both weapons and attire as well determining the opportune moment to strike by observing patterns.
Domain: Kendo.




Distracting Blow[100]
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: High
Special: A movement of once sword, generally a feint or embellished gesture that causes the target to become momentarily distracted. This distraction is characterized by a lack of focus on the user for just one moment. Such a distraction could also be caused by a vocal cue from the user if relevant to the situation. Only usable on targets of equivalent rank to the users highest known rank of Cunning Mind.
Description: Sun in your eye, thorn in your foot, hey look over there, all of these take the opponents eyes off the target for just long enough to get that one good strike. By tapping them in the right place or embellishing just right, even calling out something to grab their attention, the user can make this distraction take place. Distractions generally only last a few seconds, though that’s usually more then enough.

The user then draws, slashing from one side to the other, and spinning instantly through again for another cut, then a third and final spin to finish the opponent(s) off. The strikes are quick enough to believe one sees three blades slashing, not one and due to the erratic fashion of the technique, can be applied to multiple opponents or just one.

Ridairekuto (Redirect)[50]
Rank: C
Type: Defensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Learning 'B' rank "Art of Mental Presence." increases defense by one rank and extends disorientation to a full turn. Once parried, the opponent is left off balance and unable to find their footing for half a turn, or one full turn if the prerequisites are reached.
Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner proceeds to unsheathe their blade and quickly strike against an incoming physical attack. But, instead of simply blocking it, the user will instead use the opponents momentum against them, which in turn forces them off balance and leaves them vulnerable to a strike afterwards.

Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner holds the blade within the sheath, gathering themselves for a mere moment before preparing to stop an incoming attack. Once the attack is nanoseconds from making contact, the user quickly raises their sheath from it's held position, halting the attack in it's path due to the combined defense of the sword, sheath, and strength combined with it. This prevents the user from being overwhelmed by potential one-hit knockout techniques.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Iaijutsu 'B'.

Busoukaijo (Disarmament)[100]
Rank: B

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.

This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.

You would not be losing 641 EXP; it would simply be added to your sidebar, which it already has been, so change that. Under Personology where it says Experience, you still have 2725 listed. After that, I can 1/2.

Dormant State This is the symbiotic relationship between the Jinchuuriki and their Bijuu and its simplist form. In many cases, users may go on not even knowing the power they possess inside of themselves. Despite this, the user's chakra supply is increased by an immense amount. However, even though the Bijuu's chakra rests deep inside their vessel, the actual understanding and ability to use it is limited in this form.

[/b] After reaching the rank of Jounin, the Jinchuuriki is capable of utilizing the Sanbi to disrupt his\her chakra flow in order to end the affects of Genjutsu, regardless of rank. Furthermore, the user is capable of using a Mid-cost of chakra per turn to steadily and freely manipulate water already present on the battlefield (though he or she cannot create or expand the water).[/i][/ul]

Form 1 This transformation centers around the Jinchuuriki surrounding themselves with a fiery orange coat of chakra. This occurs when the Jinchuuriki begins to tap into a direct supply of volatile chakra that the Bijuu provides its user; it is incredibly dangerous in the sense that this chakra is as alluring as it is addicting, which can lead to the Bijuu overwhelming the user. This form grants the user increased feats of endurance (this form moderately dampens techniques that would otherwise be fatal into much more sustainable damage) and strength (comparable to the 4th gate in respect to strength only). Entering this state also gives the Jinchuuriki access to the Sanbi's free-form water control, awarding him\her mastery over water itself, as well as further enhancing his or her chakra reserves.

[/b] After attaining the rank of Jounin, form one lasts a total of three turns and is the equivalent of using two High-cost jutsus. However, at the end of three turns, the Jinchuuriki may choose to end the transformation, extend it an additional three turns, or progress into form two. Extending or transforming further equates to the usage of a Massive-cost jutsu, and after doing so, the Jinchuuriki can no longer utilize the Bijuu for the remainder of combat.[/i][/ul]

Form 2 Considered a full transformation, form two occurs when the Jinchuuriki takes on the full characteristics of their Bijuu. This state increases the Jinchuuriki's size, as well as engulfing him or her in the thick, protective layer of the Yonbi's molten chakra which is capable of shielding him from even the most powerful of physical attacks. This form boasts added strength, and often renders any logical judgement useless.

In this form, the Jinchuuriki gains access to the Tailed Beast Ball. The tailed beast ball is a condensed sphere of the Sanbi's suiton energy. This can be formed at the cost of x3 High, yielding truly devastating results for any and all caught in its path.

[/b] The Jinchuuriki enters a state of complete blance between their own chakra and the chakra of the Sanbi. Upon reaching the rank of Jounin, form two becomes a bit of a hybrid form (see image). The user can freely tap into the abilities and strengths offered by form two without the hostile penalties associated with prior use of the Sanbi's invasive chakra. In this state, the tailed beast ball can be utilized. They may also use any variety of jutsu that they possess.

As a perfect host, form two lasts a total of two turns and as is still comparable to using the 6th gate in terms of strength. Form two no longer renders the Jinchuuriki unconscious, but consumes a Massive cost. After utilizing this form (assuming it was not entered after three turns of form one), the Jinchuuriki can revert back to form one or his or her normal form. Furthermore, the Jinchuuriki may create extensions of the Sanb's chakra freely for combat (for example, tails or limbs). Additionally, the Jinchuuriki gains a heightened sense of awareness (they can "sense" all people within fifty feet of their person).

Three-Tails Form The final and most powerful transformation that the Jinchuuriki may undergo. This occurs when the individual is able to tap into the full and natural form of the Sanbi by reaching an unparalleled state of symbiosis with the beast. Instead of tapping into the "chakra mode," the individual can opt to use a two turn duration to take on the full scale and appearance of the Sanbi's natural form. The Jinchuuriki gains substantial strength, well beyond most massive summons and other Bijuu. Its speed, however, is arguably slower than most (unless using its rolling method attack). It also gains a much larger and far more destructive version of the Tailed Beast Ball (x3 High cost). This form costs 2 x Massive to form.[/i][/ul]

It should be noted that the maximum amount of turns these forms can be used is six (if only perfect host form one is used) or 5 (if form two, form two perfect host, or Bijuu form is used).[/justify][/blockquote][/spoiler]
