Domain: The Gentleman's Art, Cunning Mind "D"[/blockquote]
Driving Thrust
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 meters
Stamina: N/A
Special: Allows the user to increase the accuracy and danger of their thrusting maneuvers, thus resulting in more 'critical hits' - this translates to bonus damage depending on the highest rank known of this jutsu. Made possible by continual work on form and offensive training, this makes up the base of the users attacking capabilities.

B: +60%
A: +80%
S: +100%

Domain: The Gentleman's Art
[/li][li]Push Point
Rank: D
Type: Offensive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Stamina: Low
Special: A quick maneuver done by one whose thrust isn't well formed. By pushing out their thin blade quickly, the user is able to push a target back various degree, almost to the level of being a warning, with no true damage is ever incurred, save for a bruise. The user can push victims back up to one (1) meter, plus one more each time retrained. Please note that this will NOT work if the user's 'Driving Thrust' rank is higher than the target they wish to push back.
Description: How does one compete in combat if they have no way to stop a charging opponent? As well, what does one do if their fighting their friend and wish not to harm him, yet still want to win. In those circumstances Push Point works perfectly. By driving their sword forward and then quickly pulling back they generate force without piercing the enemy. This push and pulled force causes the enemy to move back varying degrees and can become quite the annoyance when used properly.
Domain: The Gentleman's Art, Driving Thrust "D"
[/li][li]Elegant Barrage
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Stamina: Mid
Special: A quick and steady stream of aimed attacks. By utilizing proper form and muscular agility, the user is able to let loose with a blinding volley of precision strikes. The user can initially perform two (2) quick attacks at once when first learned, plus one (1) more each time retrained. Keep in mind that if the first strike lands the rest almost always will, but subsequently, if the first misses, then most likely so will the rest as they are near-instant in terms of occurance time.
Description: One of the stand points of the Gentleman's Art is it's mastery of quick thrusting strikes. A hallmark of the style and possibly the most dangerous aspect, outside of counters. Such techniques allow the user to fit several attacks in the span of time another would only be able to make one.
Domain: The Gentleman's Art, Driving Thrust "C"[/blockquote]
Exquisite Counter
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo

C: 3/4 th of a Turn
B: Half a Turn

[/li][li]Tap Away
Rank: D
Type: Defensive / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Stamina: Low
Special: By utilizing their quick reflexes and slender blade, the user can speedily smack away any basic attack one rank lower than 'Exquisite Counter' and leave an opening to step in with a return of their own. Please keep in mind the deflection must be realistic, as it is impossible to redirect large, area covering objects or abstract concepts, such a meteors, giant monsters, streams of fire, lightning bolts, love, emotions, the meaning of life, sexuality, etc.
Description: The most basic of all deflection techniques, a simple smacking away with a bit of force. Made possible by a combination of a strong wrist movement, firm grip and the design of a slender sword. When confronted with a basic level attack, the user watches the direction it's coming and simply taps it a bit to send it of course. Once moved, this leaves an immediate opening for the user to strike with their own technique.

- Takeda Takahashi
- 17
- No significant clan
- Iwagakure; Iwa no Kuni
- Genin (No secondary profession)
- Hard/Advanced
- Earth Release
- Primary:Taijutsu
Secondary: Genjutsu
Tertiary: Ninjutsu
PHYSICALITY[/u]
- 5' 2''
- 114 lbs
- Apparel:
Takeda's choice of clothing has two things in mind; utility and anonymity. He prefers outfits that, while not altogether unfashionable, allow him to stay out of the public eye. Muted, drab colors get that effect across, usually. He also has a tendency to wear long sleeves, long pants, and generally cover up every inch of his body in fabric excepting his face (something about how it was ungentlemanly to hide one's identity), no matter what the temperature is outside. He keeps his ninja tools at his hip, and proudly wears his ninja headband at all times across his forehead. - Body Appearance:
Dedicated training has given Takeda the typical ninja physique: strong without being unnecessarily bulky, with compact, wiry muscles. He stands a hair shorter than the average person which tend to lend an air of "ignorability" to him when combined with his average clothes, average hairstyle and general average appearance. He has black hair of medium length, held away from his face in a ponytail, and he has dark green eyes. - Takeda has a light pink birthmark in the vague shape of a heart at the small of his back. Naturally, he takes great pains to hide this particular blemish.
COGNITION[/u]
- Takeda, more than the average ninja, has placed an utmost importance in his "nindo," or ninja way. Specifically, he appears to have devoted himself to the concept of being a "consummate gentleman." What exactly defines a gentleman seems to change slightly depending on the situation, but the gist of the belief appears to be able to be boiled down to three main points:
1: A gentleman protects his Lord come what may.
2: A gentleman takes pains not to stand out, except when necessity dictates.
3: A true gentleman is just as competent as he needs to be.
As could be expected by someone who models himself after such a lofty concept, he has impeccable, occasionally pedantic manners. He speaks articulately, albeit stiffly, as the nobility might speak in an old book. He also tends to have a rather black and white view of morality. He is notoriously easy to scandalize, and has been seen to get extremely uncomfortable around attractive, less than properly dressed women. - Lawful Good
- Iwagakure and all its people.
- Dresses head to toe despite the weather outside.
Reads old novels of chivalry.
Takes up any number of artistic and scholarly hobbies in his free time, depending on what he believes he might need later. - Likes: Art
Cultural pursuits
Iwagakure
Having something to do.
Dislikes: Inactivity
"Unrefined" people
Animals (They don't get along with him, typically)
ARMAMENTS[/u]
- Rapier
Rank: C
Type: Primary / Melee
Description: A rapier is a slender, sharply pointed sword, ideally used for thrusting attacks. The long-bladed sword, three to four feet at the blade, is characterized by a complex hilt which is constructed to provide protection for the hand wielding it. While the blade might be broad enough to cut to some degree, the long thin blade lends itself to thrusting as the preferred means of attack.

Rank: D
Type: Secondary / Ranged
Special: 10 per Pack.
Description: Senbon were first used by doctors in acupuncture, but due to its reported widespread effectiveness, it was quickly adopted by ninja in order to hit points on the body that can induce paralysis, loss of consciousness, or even death.

Cost: 500 per pack - Blank Scrolls
Rank: C
Type: Accessory / Self
Special: -
Description: Scrolls remain one of the most important pieces of equipment in a ninja's arsenal. Because of their size, multiple scrolls can be carried into battle in the front pouches of a flak jacket or in a satchel. This will save space and not sacrifice a much needed piece of equipment which may be required later. In the end, the scroll is useful because it allows the ninja to summon creatures, people and items to their aid. There are also larger scrolls that ninja keep on their back, these are notably A and S-ranked.
Cost: 500 // 1,000 // 5,000 // 10,000 // 20,000 (price per scroll!) - Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.
Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters

Chakra: Very Low
Special: Allows the user to transform into any person, object or animal of normal/small/miniature size. Transformation can be held for one turn, plus one more each time retrained.

Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Allows the user to create a clone without substance that resembles the user in every way, including retaining its movement speed. Clones cannot mold chakra nor perform jutsu, nor can they harm. Up to one clone can be made, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance that, although easily seen through by those with doujutsu, can fool the normal eye easily. Why? Simply because although without substance, the copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent, though no real damage can be done by it. Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu
Kakuremino no Jutsu (Magic Cloak of Invisibility Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters

Chakra: Very Low
Special: Ineffective against complex, electronic, or unique binds.

Domain: Academy NinjutsuShunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
Rank: 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.
Notice: Contrary to popular belief, this technique is by no means instantaneous. While a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, you're still quite visible and easily defended against. Simply put, it isn't incomprehensibly fast. Beyond normal, most definitely, but not nearly as fast as it's been portrayed thus far. In order to achieve maximum effect, you'll need to combine it with a distraction of some sort. - Shunpo-Tweh (Light Step Retreat)
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: Shunpo!
Stamina: --
Special: Gives the user the option to perform a Shunpo backwards.
Description: Although Shunpo is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the Taijutsu Master can learn to limit their forward travel speed in exchange for a near-instantaneous backwards move. This essentially allows rapid movement to retreat or create distance between user and opponent.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Stamina: Mid
Special: Most effective when used on extremely hard surfaces. Retraining this stacks 'C' ranked blunt damage, which occurs during impact.
