• :Apparel: A simple appearance albeit, Shurin wears an open black hoodie when not in his armor. Underneath is a short sleeved pink T-shirt with stylized crimson flames running up the fabric. Commonly he wears a pair of black jeans as well as basic green tennis shoes along with crimson acrylic taper gauges (spikes) runs along the outer shell of his ears. He also wears two leather bracers lined along his forearms, though they are usually hidden in his hoodie, for use in Archery.
  
  
• :Body Appearance: Shurin has a very lithe, body and his small frame has left him with an unexpected advantage compared to the more physically oriented ninja, though it has also given him a small area of damage allowing him to dodge easier than most others. His finger nails are often painted either black or crimson similar to his eyes and brow as his elongated pupils are set into glowing crimson irises while black brows arch over the red orbs.
  
  Though his eye brows are black his feathery hair is a deep luscious green comparatively sea-foam green. Despite his rather young mannerisms Shurin has a rather unapproachable look about him, giving off an air of fear to those who don’t know him due to his profession. He is rather short compared to others though he makes up for it with his personality. Although many practitioners of the arts of weaponry have gruesome wounds and scars to tell the tale, Shurin’s hands are covered in thin white lines as his evidence of practicing kenjutsu and archery.

— Inside;

[/b] To the world Shurin would appear as one who would hate anyone who dared to come across him and strike them down in a magnificent blaze. However this is rather incorrect, Shurin has a very flamboyant and caring attitude especially towards the opposite sex using his boyish kawaii-ness to get in close to women and nestle against their warm flesh.

Though his approaches are more obvious with women they aren't absent towards men he deems attractive enough either. He has a horrendous reputation as a flirt and will press against a gorgeous woman while nuzzling her assets or neck if he has the chance. Other than his flirtatious attitude Shurin is incredibly caring towards his allies and friends to where he would burn down an entire battlefield to eliminate any who would hurt them though not in the best sense.

:Battle In the heat of battle Shurin is cool and placid until blood is spilled, Once incurring a large amount of physical damage his mind will switch over into a berserker state as he lashes out. Despite this though he has a great mind for strategy and planning before the carnage starts.[/ul][/blockquote]

✘— Primary Weapons;
Katana
Rank: C
Type: Primary / Sword / Melee
Description: Commonly referred to as a 'Samurai sword', the katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade up to three feet in length, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands.

By using a combination of leverage, torque and flexibility, the bow is able to launch projectiles at a deadly speed and over large distances. The 50 lbs. short-bow has a default firing range of 55 meters; this range is lowered by 50% when the user fires while running, jumping, riding on an animal or performing other aggressive movements. The bow has a default nock and fire rate of 1 arrow per every 2 seconds, and discharges said projectile faster than its Longbow counterpart.

Akin to traditional ancient samurai armor, the Kanji for "Bushido" is carved in the chest plate and back, and the whole body is protected with many strong layers of plated steel. The secret use of this armor is that, although heavy, it feeds off of the Samurai's special seal, which gushes raw chakra into the armor in order to make the otherwise impossible to move heavy armor as smooth and gentle as a cloth. There's only one place an armor like this can be made - Iron.

Type:Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low
The battojutsu practitioner subjugates their dominant hand with chakra.

Tsuka Dageki (Hilt Blow) 50
Rank: C
Range: Close )0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals:--
Chakra Consumption: Mid
A technique that is used by the holder of the weapon to suddenly launch the hilt of the blade outwards from any position. The main function of this attack grants the user the ability to use the blunt end of the hilt while it is still encased, and move it forward to suddenly strike the opponent. The attack is so quick, due to the method of movement, that it is a extremely difficult to predict technique, and usually ensures a hit if performed on a unsuspecting target.

Note:The stunning power of this technique is one turn after contact.


Sandangamaegiri (Triple Cut) 100
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid [Per Attack]
The battojutsu practitioner subjugates their dominant hand with chakra. This allows the practitioner to commence their attack from any position, this particular technique allows the practitioner to unsheathe their blade, before beginning to slash once and then continues on with their forward movement, which allows them to cut the opponent with additional blows with their chakra enhanced speed.

Note: This technique depends entirely on the success of the first strike. Once the first strike hits a total of two more strikes can be placed after the first one.


Joushou Giri (Rising Cut) 100
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a crouching position, the practitioner rises, grips their blade with both hands and then delivers a devastating slash that allows them to capitalize on an overextending opponent.

Note: By continuing with the motion, the user can utilize the momentum behind the attack and follow it up with 'Morote Giri' for a fluid one-two combination.


Morote Giri (Two Handed Cut) 100
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a standing position, the practitioner gathers their strength for one moment, and then strikes with their sword in both hands, performing a single strong attack that is capable of breaking through defenses and delivering massive damage.


Marugiri (Circle Cut) 100
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: High
Commencing from a kneeling position, the practitioner draws, rises and spins in one fluid motion, forestalling opponents all around and then quickly sheathes.

Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
Using a vast amount of mental focus, the practitioner nearly-instantaneously draws, thrusts at an opponent and sheathes again, all in the blink of an eye. It is fabled that even the famed Sharingan has had trouble following a blade swung under such pretenses.



IAIJUTSU-50
DEFENSIVE SWORD STYLE

Iaijutsu (Art of Mental Presence) 25
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low to cast and sustain
A defensive nature of fighting, all Iaijutsu practitioners will tend to stand in closed positions, sending chakra throughout their bodies to quicken response times. this leaves little openings and makes sure to make the least amount of wasted movement possible so as to remain solid like a rock. Once the swordsman has understood the basics of fortification, they move on to more complex defensive patterns.


Kawasu (To Parry) 25
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Low

Commencing from any position, the practitioner draws their sword and moves to deflect or simply block the strike, then resheathes. As the user becomes more proficient in Iaijutsu, more strikes can be defending against in a fluid movement, before they are overwhelmed by the attacks.

Note: This technique serves as a counter against multi-strike based techniques. A maximum of three techniques can be parried per use at an incredibly fast, almost "simultaneous" rate. It should be noted that these parries must be plausible, and simply because a user can defend relatively quick does not mean the are immune to being struck. As state, this will be widely considered as a multi-strike counter.

Danger Close 50
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low
While Danger Close is arguably the most simplistic of all the Watcher techniques, that does not mean that it is the weakest. To the contrary, it is actually one of the most useful techniques an archer can have, as its primary function is to defend oneself against close-range fighters, the natural bane of all archers. After repeating the same nock and fire motions hundreds, if not thousands of times, an archer possesses the ability to briefly move purely through reflex and instinct, firing off a hastily aimed shot twice as fast as normal.

Note: The user nocks an arrow, aims, and fires one shot in half the time it normally takes them to do so. This ability can only be used once per thread.


Ricochet 50
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
A tricky technique that exemplifies how cunning an archer can be. By bouncing their arrows off the surface of an object, they undercut the opponent’s ability to defend against it, striking deep into the target when they least expect it.


Shotgun 50
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
The technique is one of the hallmarks of the Watcher style, firing more arrows than a normal person would believe is possible. It's been said that with proper mastery of the technique, the user can fire up to six at a time with all the ability they fire a normal one.


Sharpshooter 50
Rank: C
Range: -
Type: Passive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low
By firing an arrow in an arc instead of in a straight line, the user can “lob” an arrow, allowing it to travel further distances than normal. The downside to this art is that by curving the arrows trajectory, you are in fact adding more to the distance it needs to travel, thus increasing the amount of time it takes to actually reach the target.

Note: This ability effectively doubles the range of any single shot.


Suppressing Fire 100
Rank: B
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High
By practicing their ability to draw, knock, aim and fire an arrow, the user can learn to quickly lay a lot of damage downrange. Suppressing Fire is aptly named, for its function is, literally, to suppress a target through overwhelming fire.

Note: This essentially allows the user to increase their movements by a profound degree, capable of preparing and firing two arrows in the time it would take to fire one. This effect last for three posts before it will need to be cast again. This ability can never be combined with Danger Close, regardless of masteries.


O.S.O.K. 100
Rank: B
Range: -
Type: Passive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High
Mastering the art of bonus tension is one of the many overlooked fundamentals of being an archer. By holding out past the point of firing, one can enhance the arrow far beyond its initial damage. The technique, therefore, is aptly named “One Shot, One Kill” due to its frequent tendency to pierce through defenses and outright kill an enemy.

Note: This ability allows the user to pierce any traditional armor, and wooden constructs such as large trees (up to three feet thick). This ability can be combined with other Archery techniques; however, the chakra cost will stack.


Air Burst 100
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
One of the more interesting techniques within the Watcher arsenal. The Air Burst technique is performed by, seemingly, just shooting an arrow almost straight up into the air. At least, that's how it looks to casual observers. The reality however is that the arrow isn't shot straight up, but rather at a trajectory that is so steep that it appears to be straight. The arrow is launched in such a way that as it is fired in an almost straight line, it also comes down in an almost straight line. Air Burst therefore is potent when used in a function similar to artillery, as it can bypass most defenses simply by coming from an angle most people never think to defend against. A skilled archer can launch an arrow with such accuracy that it can go high enough to stay in the air for quite some time, long enough even for an unfocused enemy to forget that it's there!

Note: The arrow can stay in the sky for a total of three posts.



Way of the Kamikaze 150
Rank: A
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: -
After mastering the Way of the Watcher, the user can now take a step further toward mastering archery as a whole. While in the beginning an archer is taught to use the power of chakra to subtly influence his arrows, the Way of the Kamikaze requires the archer to now manifest his abilities in a much more grandiose manner. Once armed with these abilities, the archer will transcend from the role of a mere soldier, to that of a God.

Note: Must be learned as prerequisite to additional Way of the Kamikaze techniques. Way of the Kamikaze techniques cannot be used in conjunction with Way of the Watcher techniques, regardless of masteries. The user must have learned all of the Way of the Watcher techniques to obtain this.


Raikou no Kami (God of Lightning) 100
Rank: B
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High
Speed is often critical to success. With this enhancement, the tactician will utilize their chakra to dramatically decrease the wind resistance that an arrow meets. As the arrow is sent flying, the sound of the arrow whistling through the air is often the last thing a hapless victim hears.

Note: This ability doubles the speed of a single arrow.

Yōso no Kami (God of The Elements) 150 Raiton
Rank: A (300 for AR)
Range: ---
Type: Offensive
Handseals: ---
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
Yoso no Kami, a specialized archery technique worthy of its name. This technique calls upon the natural energies within the archery practitioner and supplements them to their arrow before letting it fly. Upon hitting its target a blast of the element present in the arrow will surge outward from the point of impact (shards of earth, wind, flames, etc...)

Note: Must have learned "Way of The Kamikaze" to learn this technique. This technique must be learned for each release the user has to use them and learning to use this technique for an Advanced Release costs 300 exp rather than the normal 150. the blast created by the arrow is 5 meters across.



Takuramu no Kami (God of Fate) 100
Rank: B
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 1 (hold)
Chakra Consumption: High
Filling an arrow with chakra, the user then fires it. From there, the user may control the trajectory of the arrow, using chakra to guide the arrow's shot.

Note: The user must hold the one-handed tiger-seal for the duration of the technique, otherwise it will end. Arrow can't curve harsher than 30 degree angles. The Chakra connection automatically severs after two posts.


Tenpi no Kami (God of the Sun) 150
Rank: A
Range: -
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High
When an arrow is enchanted by this technique, the arrowhead glows a fire-red, and when it impacts against an object, great gouts of smoke billow from the contact point. It's for these reasons that this technique is called “God of the Son”. By empowering the arrow with special chakra, the user can force it to spin like a drill. When it hits a solid defense, the arrow literally burns through it, using sheer chakra-powered friction.

Note: This drilling ability is capable of piercing through up to five feet of concrete.


Kyuudo no Kami (God of Archery) 300
Rank: S
Range: -
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive
This technique is called the God of Archery because it represents the pinnacle of an archer's skill. It is his ultimate technique – the eighth gate of ranged combat. The Kyuudo no Kami attack is always an archer's last resort, because its incredible power comes at a price. While the archer may not be killed upon using it, the fight will definitely end one way or the other, as the stresses of performing this technique will shatter the user's bow, if not every bone in their body!

Note: Using this technique inflicts a great deal of concussive damage to everything immediately behind the bow (three feet), including the user. This technique automatically destroys the bow, regardless of its rank. This technique deals an incredibly high amount of damage to everything within three meters of the impact point of the arrow (equivalent to technique such as as Hirudora). The arrow fired using this technique travels twice its maximum distance and at twice the highest velocity the bow in question can provide.
