Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise ㊙}

Eymia Royaru is something of a wild card.
A genin with big dreams. Nothing new. Nothing untrue.
He has no popular background. He seeks to further
his dreams -whatever they may be- and to find
something in this world that will allow people to co-exist peacefully. He shall continue to seek this place where he can build his Kingdom. A young boy with great dreams, has anything changed?

^{㊀ Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reap'd furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twinèd flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;㊀} [/sup][/i]

Seraphic. Holy. Fragile.
In essence the perfect Ninja. Emiya does not appear threatening unless the situation presses. He does not seem over bearing or seem to posses the caring that some show. He is certainly by any means 'beautiful', or 'pretty'. Even so, there is a certain air about him, the best way to describe it would be simply to say' he is an acquired taste', you can start off thinking him beautiful or abnormally so, for there is a surpluss of that. He does perhaps posses a little more then the average man's charm, but it does little to impede his stealth in populated areas. If Emiya where to vanish within a crowd, it would be almost ridiculously easy to find him unless you were colour blind or he was surrounded by a group of look-alikes. He simply sticks out like a sore thumb.
His sanguine hair is medium and unruly, nonchalantly refusing to be tamed no matter the level of physical concretion. He wears it around his head in a series of bangs; each varying in length.
His eyes possess a glint of intelligence, or more correctly, a slight twinkle that might alert those who would over look him. To the passer-by however, they are red, not the sort of hypnotic purples and blues that one might find. Certainly not the more exotic conditions either, it is a deep three dimension fuchsia. Plain and simple. His irises are slitted in the same manner as many a cat.
His skin tone is not impressive, instead it remains stubbornly obstinate, refusing too tan or to loose any of it's texture, which might have been preferable to it's wearer: this is simply because the degree to which the skin of Emiya gleams is a dead give away to someone who spends too much time in the sun, not such a good look for someone trying to stay hidden.
When Esdras is actively on duty, he tends to wear a simple mask, plain white with two blacked out gaps for eye pieces, a thin concave crimson line to represent the mouth, and a bolt of lightning, skilfully bisecting his right eye slot. The pigmentation of the flamboyant artwork is coloured a royal purple, the only bit of the mask that actually calls out for attention. This mask is only worn when Esdras is actively attempting to ambush someone. It is usually donned when their are potential eye-witnesses to the event, and he does not wish for his face to be memorized.
His face is usually held in sober expression, reflecting someone who has seen too much in life, or a busybody with a desk full of work, typically Esdras will assume the false persona of the latter.
His choice of attire is not different then his expression, wearing plane clothes and often inter-changing them, leaving little to no gaps in his wardrobe, even though as a Wanderer he has to pack light, and keep moving. Lest he be captured and killed. This effectively explains his need for perpetual employment and the majority of clothing store crimes can be largely attributed to him for a short period of time in one specific area, before he moves on.
He usually wears the plain civilian clothes that are the cheapest and most common in the stores, when on 'business', he dons a black tench-coat, while the outside is dark, the inside is a dark green, letting him switch between the two colours as the need for camouflage changes. Unlike most shinobi, he does not choose to wear thongs or boosts. The norm being the latter. When the need arises, and dons his mask and trench-coat, he places a pair of light leather boots, curiously adorned with multiple straps, this prevents the leather from creaking and keeps a high amount of feedback to the young Wanderer.
Other miscellaneous pieces of equipment that he casually adorns is a necklace, this is a plain object; but carries vast significance to the possessor of the jewellery. As is the everlasting curse of a Wanders, they remain attached to their headbands, and despite their attempts to leave the incriminating piece of equipment in their lonesome paths, they cannot. Be it sentimentality or simple regret; they are bound to their markers. Esdras is not different, but unlike some, he does not wear it openly, unlike those who are seemingly crazed with regret and do so almost willingly, instead it has been used as a belt for the Wanders, who had it converted after a fatal run in with a tailor, predictably the tailor was who the encounter proved fatal for.

_{Individuality}[/b][/right][/size]

That the world is a game; which is an excuse used by more than one soul to explain away precisely -why- they find the ideas of mundane thought to be alternately boring and hysterical or hypocritical and backwards, but it is again applied to Esdras. Take a mind gifted with a proper intellect and give it room to grow, and then introduce to it the lure that all of reality could be understood and controlled-one only had to study it from the proper angle. This mind would belong to a young boy born in the shadow of the towers of others. Yet nobody is born with ideas in their heads, therefore; watching the growth of ideas of otheres allows one to cite from an introspective viewing point.
And so is born the methods of rationalism. For those who have defined the rules of the game, or more accurately, the guidelines upon which the game can be played for reliable and accurate results. A double six, so to speak. There are twelve rules. Twelve methods of rationality that must be obeyed, ‘lest you loose your path.

The first virtue is curiosity.
A burning itch to know is higher than a solemn vow to pursue truth. To feel the burning itch of curiosity requires both that you be ignorant, and that you desire to relinquish your ignorance. But first you must accept your ignorance, and wear it on your sleeve, for if you lie to others about your abilities, you soon lie to yourself, and therein lies the sin of arrogance and unneeded confidence.
If in your heart you believe you already know, or if in your heart you do not wish to know, then your questioning will be purposeless and your skills without direction. Curiosity seeks to annihilate itself; there is no curiosity that does not want an answer. For not to be so is to be sloth-like and willfully blind, two deviations of the path of rationalism.
The glory of glorious mystery is to be solved, after which it ceases to be mystery. Be wary of those who speak of being open-minded and modestly confess their ignorance. There is a time to confess your ignorance and a time to relinquish your ignorance. For to willingly confess your ignorance to those who need not know of the extent of your abilities is called stupidity.

The second virtue is relinquishment.
Do not flinch from experiences that might destroy your beliefs. The thought you cannot think controls you more than thoughts you speak aloud. Submit yourself to ordeals and test yourself in fire. Have confidence in what you hold dear and submit it time and time again to renew that confidence.
Relinquish the emotion which rests upon a mistaken belief, and seek to feel fully that emotion which fits the facts. If the iron approaches your face, and you believe it is hot, and it is cool, reality opposes your fear. If the iron approaches your face, and you believe it is cool, and it is hot, reality opposes your calm. Evaluate your beliefs first and then arrive at your emotions. Let yourself say: “If the iron is hot, I desire to believe it is hot, and if it is cool, I desire to believe it is cool.” Beware lest you accept a reality which is falsely constructed.

The third virtue is lightness.
Let the winds of evidence blow you about as though you are a leaf, with no direction of your own. Beware lest you fight a rearguard retreat against the evidence, grudgingly conceding each foot of ground only when forced, knowing that slowly the troops that stand between you and the evidence are thinning. If you fail to submit to this virtue, you must also deny the virtue of relinquishment and free flowing will.
Surrender to the truth as quickly as you can. Do this the instant you realize what you are resisting; the instant you can see from which quarter the winds of evidence are blowing against you. Be faithless to your cause and betray it to a stronger enemy. If you regard evidence as a constraint and seek to free yourself, you sell yourself into the chains of your whims. For you cannot make a true map of a city by sitting in your bedroom with your eyes shut and drawing lines upon paper according to impulse. You must walk through the city and draw lines on paper that correspond to what you see. If, seeing the city uncleanly, you think that you can shift a line just a little to the right, just a little to the left, according to your caprice, this is just the same mistake. To do so is to compromise reality itself, and impose a false view on the world.

The fourth virtue is evenness.
One who wishes to believe says, “Does the evidence permit me to believe?” One who wishes to disbelieve asks, “Does the evidence force me to believe?” Beware lest you place huge burdens of proof only on propositions you dislike, and then defend yourself by saying: “But it is good to be skeptical.” If you attend only to favorable evidence, picking and choosing from your gathered data, then the more data you gather, the less you know. You become flawed in your views and thinking, choosing only which appeals to your beliefs, and not that surrounds you in it’s entirety. What do you do when you see the seams of the world and also see just how frail they truly are? When you can shake out the game of mortal lives and bind it to your own ambition to give it its only worth, what rule is there to command you when the nights are quiet and the rewards not as bright as they had once seemed to be?
If you are selective about which arguments you inspect for flaws, or how hard you inspect for flaws, then every flaw you learn how to detect makes you that much stupider. If you first write at the bottom of a sheet of paper, “And therefore, the sky is green!”, it does not matter what arguments you write above it afterward; the conclusion is already written, and it is already correct or already wrong.
To be clever in argument is not rationality but rationalization. Intelligence, to be useful, must be used for something other than defeating itself. It must be used to question itself and that which surrounds it. Listen to hypotheses as they plead their cases before you, but remember that you are not a hypothesis, you are the judge. Therefore do not seek to argue for one side or another, for if you knew your destination, you would already be there.

The fifth virtue is argument.
Those who wish to fail must first prevent their friends from helping them. Those who smile wisely and say: “I will not argue” remove themselves from help, and withdraw from the communal effort. In argument strive for exact honesty, for the sake of others and also yourself: The part of yourself that distorts what you say to others also distorts your own thoughts. Do not believe you do others a favor if you accept their arguments; the favor is to yourself, not them.
Do not think that fairness to all sides means balancing yourself evenly between positions; truth is not handed out in equal portions before the start of a debate. You cannot move forward on factual questions by fighting with fists or insults. Seek a test that lets reality judge between what you know and what they know.
Understandably, one thus must think of the divine as being nothing more than overgrown humans who have power that they should keep better watch over lest it be taken from them. There is no reason in his eyes as to why a human cannot attain that level, particularly not when the gods pluck away souls and then bind them to their wants.
By the same token, one must suffers from feeling as if there are no absolutes in the world. He occasionally tires of his own games, knowing by his own logic that reality is only what he is reaching for, and if he should put his side of the playing pieces down then there are no stories of justice or morals to rally him back. He is far too proud to resort to giving into such illusions, however.

The sixth virtue is empiricism.
The roots of knowledge are in observation and its fruit is prediction. What tree grows without roots? What tree spreads it’s diversity us without fruit? If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound? One says, “Yes it does, for it makes vibrations in the air.” Another says, “No it does not, for there is no auditory processing in any brain.” Though they argue, one saying “Yes”, and one saying “No”, the two do not anticipate any different experience of the forest. Do not ask which beliefs to profess, but which experiences to anticipate. Always know which difference of experience you argue about. Do not let the argument wander and become about something else, such as someone’s virtue as a rationalist.
What does you in is not failure to apply some high-level, intricate, complicated technique. It’s overlooking the basics. Not keeping your eye on the ball. Do not be blinded by words. When words are subtracted, anticipation remains of the thoughts that spawned them, pay attention to the tones and feel they placed within their words.

The seventh virtue is simplicity.
Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. Simplicity is virtuous in belief, design, planning, and justification.
When you profess a huge belief with many details, each additional detail is another chance for the belief to be wrong. Each specification adds to your burden; if you can lighten your burden you must do so. There is no straw that lacks the power to break your back, because each only adds to the load. Of artifacts it is said: The most reliable gear is the one that is designed out of the machine.
Of plans: A chain of a thousand links is only as strong as it’s weakest joint, if every link is as strong as the ones surrounding it, there is no ground for one to grab hold. But if one step is wrong it may carry you anywhere. In mathematics a mountain of good deeds cannot atone for a single sin. Therefore, be careful on every step.

The eighth virtue is humility.
To be humble is to take specific actions in anticipation of your own errors, to for see your own fallibility and then do nothing about it is not humble; it is boasting of your modesty, and professing your carelessness to the world. Who are most humble? Those who most skillfully prepare for the deepest and most catastrophic errors in their own beliefs and plans, they are pessimistic, because if you present yourself the worst case scenario, and thus plan for it, you will never be taken by surprise.
A rationalist hates fortune telling, horoscopes, fengshui, psychics and anyone whose trade involves taking money from people for things that they cannot see. This is typically because it enrouches on his beliefs of the plausibility of greater realm of reality.

Because this world contains many whose grasp of rationality is abysmal, beginning students of rationality win arguments and acquire an exaggerated view of their own abilities. But it is useless to be superior: Life is not graded on a curve, it is a race, with those who achieve the most distance are eventually judged as the gap between the observers and the competitors/competition grows wider. The best physicist in ancient Greece could not calculate the path of a falling apple. There is no guarantee that adequacy is possible given your hardest effort; therefore spare no thought for whether others are doing worse. If you compare yourself to others you will not see the biases that all humans share. To be human is to make ten thousand errors, to make no errors within this world makes you shallow and easily led, because a error provides you with direction, and a willingness to correct this error. No one in this world achieves perfection.

The ninth virtue is perfectionism.
The more errors you correct in yourself, the more you notice. As your mind becomes more silent, you hear more noise. Becoming one who finds the errors in others work and then fixes them. When you notice an error in yourself, this signals your readiness to seek advancement to the next level. If you tolerate the error rather than correcting it, you will not advance to the next level and you will not gain the skill to notice new errors.
In every art, if you do not seek perfection you will halt before taking your first steps. If perfection is impossible that is no excuse for not trying. Hold yourself to the highest standard you can imagine, and look for one still higher. Do not be content with the answer that is almost right; seek one that is exactly right.

The tenth virtue is precision.
One comes and says: The quantity is between 1 and 100. Another says: the quantity is between 40 and 50. If the quantity is 42 they are both correct, but the second prediction was more useful and exposed itself to a stricter test. It contains a narrower margin for error and consequently; guesswork.
What is true of one apple may not be true of another apple; thus more can be said about a single apple than about all the apples in the world. The narrowest statements slice deepest, the cutting edge of the blade. As with the map, so too with the art of mapmaking: rationalism is a precise Art. Do not walk to the truth, but dance. On each and every step of that dance your foot comes down in exactly the right spot, any deviation leaves you stranded forevermore.

The eleventh virtue is scholarship.
Study many sciences and absorb their power as your own. Each field that you consume makes you larger. If you swallow enough sciences the gaps between them will diminish and your knowledge will become a unified whole, you will begin to see the inter-linking spaces between each Art as it’s own language. If you are gluttonous you will become vaster than mountains. It is especially important to eat math and science which impinges upon rationality: Evolutionary psychology, heuristics and biases, social psychology, probability theory, decision theory. But these cannot be the only fields you study. The Art must have a purpose other than itself, or it collapses into infinite recursion.

Before these eleven virtues is a virtue which is nameless.

“The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy’s cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. More than anything, you must be thinking of carrying your movement through to cutting him.”
Every step of your reasoning must cut through to the correct answer in the same movement. More than anything, you must think of carrying your map through to reflecting the territory.
If you fail to achieve a correct answer, it is futile to protest that you acted with propriety or concern of such.
How can you improve your conception of rationality? Not by saying to yourself, “It is my duty to be rational.” By this you only enshrine your mistaken conception. Perhaps your conception of rationality is that it is rational to believe the words of the Great Teacher, and the Great Teacher says, “The sky is green,” and you look up at the sky and see blue. If you think: “It may look like the sky is blue, but rationality is to believe the words of the Great Teacher,” you lose a chance to discover your mistake, because you failed to see the flaws in another work.
Do not ask whether it is “the Way” to do this or that. Ask whether the sky is blue or green. If you speak overmuch of the Way you will not attain it, having is not possessing. Owning it is impossible. Attaining it is not.
You may try to name the highest principle with names such as “the point on the map that reflects the territory” or “experience of success and failure” or “here by monsters”. But perhaps you describe incorrectly the nameless virtue. How will you discover your mistake? Not by comparing your description to itself, but by comparing it to that which you did not name.
If for many years you practice the techniques and submit yourself to strict constraints, it may be that you will glimpse the center. Then you will see how all techniques are one technique, and you will move correctly without feeling constrained.

These then are twelve virtues of rationality: Curiosity, relinquishment, lightness, evenness, argument, empiricism, simplicity, humility, perfectionism, precision, scholarship, and the void.

These are the twelve building blocks on which Emiya rests. A hungering dragon bound on it's moors.

^㊙The contemplation of things as they are, without substitution or imposture, without error or confusion, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention.^㊙

And never breathe a word about your loss;

Description: A series of incredibly small pipes leading out all over the puppets body. The pipes themselves are connected to a small reservoir of oil contained within any part of the puppets body. Through the burning of high potency fuel, the puppet can make a near instant shunshin like movement.
Cost: D: 250 // C: 500 // B: 1,000 // A: 5,000 // S: 10,000 Ryo

Description: A most horrendous beast, made from a type of wood while known for it's robustness, it also retains a distinct flakiness, peeling off it's core like sunburnt skin. This is used to great artistic effect in this Puppet, the naturally red colour of the wood providing the visual effect of a stripped body human body, a body were the skin hs been flayed off manually and left out to dry. This demonic appearance does have a slight demoralizing effect, but it is negligible against the seasoned fighter. Because this aforementioned bark has the annoying tenancy to peel off and not grow back, Emiya has given the Puppet the tattered rags of a cloak, which only provides a thin veil between the horror and the outside world. Minuko is generally stored within a scroll in one of Emiya's pouches, and is called out when the time is appropriate. This form of Puppet was designed to kill with it's bear hands, the most noticeable function of this aspect being it's claws, however Minuko's horns also provide a suitable threat, with the former being forty centimetres in length from knuckle to finger tip, since thumbs are inherently smaller then fingers, they have they lengthen increased to fifty centimetres to compensate. Minuko's horns jut out of it's head at a angle, slightly curved backwards for slashing motions, they too measure approximately sixty centimetres altogether, while about forty from scalp to peak. To further enhance it's powerful claws, it has the capacity to extend both it's arms to an additional length of six meters, allowing Minuko more leeway to properly grasp it's opponent. Being rational, Emiya decided to further move along this fashion of seek-and-destroy combat, and equipped Minuko with a crushing plate in it's right hand. This plate posses the power to crush bone, increasing potential deadliness. To ensure his puppet retains the ability to throw his opponent off guard, Emiya added the ability for Minuko to travel underground, albeit at a reduced pace. To prevent this reduction in speed allowing it to be caught under or aboe ground, he also gave it Afterburners, allowing it to match the commonly used Shinobi Technique of 'body flicker' at any two given instances.
A fearsome fighting machine, just like every Puppet is.

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

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.

Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.

Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)²⁵
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Low
Special: Shunshin no Jutsu is a high-speed movement in which the user moves 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 Shunshin no Jutsu can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. Shunshin no Jutsu can be used once per thread, plus once more each time it is retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore.

This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.

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.

Soushuuha (Manipulate Advancing Blades)⁵⁰

After the needed handseals, this technique allows the user to hover multiple projectiles, like kunai, in the air while they approach a target.

Sekisuisho Ryuuken (Crystalization Commandment)⁷⁵
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Shouton Kekkei Touta
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No.
Special: Rank determines casting range of Shoton creations, level of techniques which the user can crystallize, and finally, the speed at which they can crystallize. Covers a 10 meter radius, plus 10 more for each additional rank attained. It is important to note that all Ototon (Sound) jutsu made against crystal will be enhanced by a single rank.

[/b] 10 meters of control // Full Turn
C: 20 meters // 3/4th of a Turn
B: 30 meters // Half a Turn
A: 40 meters // 1/4th of a Turn
S: 50 meters // Near-Instant!

Description: The root behind Shoton's unbridled power comes from the ability to crystallize anything, as well as manipulate already-existing crystals and crystalline structures. Sekisuisho can crystallize any solid substance, so releases such as Earth, Water, and Wood techniques are virtually useless against it. Using crystal ninjutsu, the user can crystallize any physical material and even the moisture in the air around them, turning them into a weapon. The only apparent weakness of the crystallization process is that it cannot crystallize either raw energy or chakra as they have no physical mass to crystallize, allowing a person with either energy-based jutsu, such as Lightning, Fire, or Wind, or even someone simply with good chakra control to properly counter it. Finally, all Shoton creations are also susceptible to a specific sound wave frequency; because crystal requires a very precise build-up of molecules, the proper sound waves can break down the build-up before the crystal can properly form.
Domain: Shoton.

[li]Shuisho Deshimaru (Crystal Sheet)²⁵
Rank: D
Type: Supplemental / Ninjutsu / Shouton Kekkei Touta
Range: See Special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Low
Special: Distance and durability of the crystallized flooring depends on the users rank of Crystallization Commandment.
Description: A simple shoton technique that allows for the user to create a perfectly-leveled layer of crystal beneath them. The area of this jutsu depends on the users knowledge of crystallization commandment. This technique creates a 'slippery' flooring that is used to help hinder the opponent's movement's. However, this jutsu is easily avoidable by applying chakra to ones feet to get a better standing on top of it. This technique can be used on rough terrain, sandy terrain, water, etc.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'D'.

[/li][li]Shuriken Ranbu (Shuriken Wild Dance)⁵⁰
Rank: D-D
Type: Offensive / Ninjutsu / Shouton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: Distance traveled and shuriken durability depends on the user's 'Crystallization Commandment' rank. Up to 2 shuriken can be made, plus 1 more each time retrained.
Description: As its name implies, the Shuriken Wild Dance is a projectile raining of pure crystal, aimed and controlled wherever it is the user desires. After crystallizing a fixated amount of crystal shuriken, they float the user's side until deemed necessary for use. It is at this time that the shuriken are shot forward and blinding speeds, twice that of a kunai, streaking across thin air and towards their unfortunate target.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'D'.

Shuisho Tontiko (Crystal Platform)²⁵
Rank: D
Type: Supplemental / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: See Special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Low
Special: Durability of the crystallized disc depends on the users rank of Crystallization Commandment. Distance is virtually unlimited. Costs low chakra to maintain active per turn.
Description: The user creates a small crystallized disc that allows for them to hover and move throughout the air. This technique is normally used to escape from opponents or to chase opponents. The user is able to move double as fast as if they were running due to controlling the disc directly. The user must maintain contact with the disc and if they lose concentration then the jutsu will promptly end.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'D'.

[/li][li]Shuisho Chuushabari (Crystal Needle Restraint)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplemental / Ninjutsu / Shouton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: Area of emerging needles depends on the user's 'Crystallization Command' rank, with the victim at the center. Enough needles emerge to restrain a single victim from below. Can restrain up to one target per use, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Although basic, the Needle Restraint technique is nonetheless effective. After forming a few simple seals, the Shoton user summons a flurry of fast moving crystal pillars from underneath their target's feet. The aim is not to injure them, but to overwhelm their body in staffs of crystal that prevent movement and best of all, drain the user of chakra slowly in order to power and reinforce the prison.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'C'.

[/li][li]Suisho Kyou (Jade Crystal Mirror)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Shouton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: Mirrors can be created on any preexisting Shoton creation, or made new. While this jutsu is active, only one mirror can be made at a time, plus one more each time relearned.
Description: One of the most dangerous aspects of Shoton is that the very crystal creations made can serve as birthing points for new variations. In this case, the crystal user can now alter their creations so as to include a large, crystal mirror in the shape of a snowflake - whether the mirror is made on the spot or comes from another jutsu is irrelevant - in order to provide a pathway for its master. Crystal mirrors, once created, serve as portals for the Shoton user to travel to freely. As long as there is at least one mirror in place to enter, the user may alter space and time in order to hide; with more in place, the possibilities are endless. However, there is one flaw - if the creation of crystal that houses the mirror is destroyed all at once while the Shoton user is phased out, they remain trapped in the alternate space-time forever.
Domain: Shoton. Must know 'Crystallization Commandment' 'C'.

Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppetry Technique)⁷⁵
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Highest rank known determines grade, type and quality of puppet that can be controlled. When finger puppet control is down to 2, one more 'S' ranked training allows the puppeteer to master his craft and control any puppet with merely a single finger.
D: 10 meters // 10 fingers per puppet
C: 20 meters // 8 fingers per puppet
B: 30 meters // 6 fingers per puppet
A: 40 meters // 4 fingers per puppet
S: 50 meters // 2 fingers per puppet

Description: Kugutsu no Jutsu is a fundamental ninjutsu technique behind all forms of puppetry, and the perfered method of execution for shinobi that have discovered its use in battle. By emitting threads of chakra that allow perfect control between the user and their creation, it allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.
Domain: Puppetry.
