PHYSICALITY[/u]

• Height: 6’3”
  
• Weight: 15.14 stone (212 lbs)
  
• Appearance: At 6’3”, Eko is a towering figure. Usually found near a forge, sweating a river between the corded muscles of his back and chest, racing alongside the various scars that cris-cross across his body, fully visible through the sleeveless mesh he wears when crafting his wares, he ties his pale blond hair back in a loose ponytail to keep it from singeing in the fiery coals. Usually, he is unsuccessful and the charred ends of his hair are evidence to that. Underneath the sleeveless mesh, sweat stained white cloth wraps around his torso and disappears unseen behind his leather apron to continue down his left leg to about knee height. Underneath the darkened leather apron are a pair of loose fitting pants as dark as the coals used to light his furnace. Brought forth from his azure rimmed, leather adorned hands, sparks flash off the steel, reflected in his blue eyes in the dimness of the room as if they were the actual cause of the sudden flashes of light. A few days of growth stubble his cheeks while the meticulously trimmed strap of hair that rims his hardened mouth brightens his tanned skin. Rounding out the features of his face is the chunk of flesh missing from his right ear, nearly throwing the balance of his face completely off kilter. Even with the long locks of fair hair surrounding it, it is an unmistakable missing piece that has been lost to time. When not by his forge, Eko dons a flowing black duster with bright blue embroidery around the sleeves in to form of various weapons of his trade. On his back is the swirling cross sigil he hammers into every piece of steel he works to let everyone know whose masterpiece they wield.
  

COGNITION[/u]

• Personality: For all the harshness of his appearance, Eko is an affable fellow as long as you respect his steel. He is quick to make friends and is often quicker with his tongue to jibe them, which his master has called sharper than any sword he has ever forged. Still, he is an intense young man when it comes to his work at the forge. He believes that he will create something that will make even the blades of the Swordsmen of the Mist pale in comparison. That is, until his work started to become tainted by the visions that started to plague his dreams. As he forged, he went into a trance brought about by the rhythmic singing of the metal clanging against metal but those trances have turned dark and his weapons have become twisted in its wake. The sudden difficulty of his craft has left the large man in a depressive slump which the dark thoughts have taken hold of, making him more prone to violent outbursts and fits of uncontrollable rage. He has secluded himself in his forge but the more and more he attempts to force the issue, the worse his wares become. Now, the young man broods about his situation and has turned to other pursuits in order to see if he can work the demons from his forge before he succumbs to them.
  
• Alignment: Neutral
  
• Allegiance: Mizu no Kuni, follower of the Seven Swordsmen
  
• Quirks & Tendencies: -Tends to ignore everything around him when crafting, leaving him vulnerable to all sorts of nasty things.
  -Finds honor in fighting weapon to weapon so if an opponent’s weapon were to break in battle, he would discard his own, taking pride in the fact his weapon was the superior. Conversely, if his weapon were to break, he would go into a fiery rage that would not stop until either his opponent or himself were defeated.
  
• Likes & Dislikes:
  Likes: Metallurgy (duh)
  Weapon Play
  Fire
  A hard day’s work.
  A hot bath after a hard day’s work.
  Piercings on women (thinks the combination of metal and flesh is extremely attractive)
  
  Dislikes: Cowards
  Lazy bastards
  A broken weapon
  His father
  Sailing

• Primary Weapons:
  Naginata
  Rank: C
  Type: Primary / Melee

• Secondary Weapons:
  Shuriken (Ninja Star)

  Special: 5 per Pack.
  Description: A shuriken, like kunai, is one of the more basic weapons employed by ninja of all classes. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, no more than a few inches long, and are extremely useful for throwing. Although small, they can be used to distract, or, if accurate enough, to kill. They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also a benefit in aerodynamics, as it ensures more accurate trajectories.
  Cost: 100 Ryo per Pack
  
  Kama
  Rank: C
  Type: Secondary / Ranged + Melee
  Special: 1 per pack
  Description: A "kama" is a Japanese sickle used as a weapon. It has a short handle and a sharp beak that inflicts more damage than a kunai or shuriken but is considerably slower through the air.

  Range: 0 - 5 meters

Its execution is simple - the ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log, and upon activation, the note is set and begins either a slow countdown burn, which eventually results in a large explosion, or the explosion in itself upon command.
  Cost: 500 per Pack

• Taijutsu
  Hayabusa Otoshi (Peregrine Falcon Drop)
  Rank: C
  Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
  Range: 0 - 5 meters
  Special: Most effective when used on extremely hard surfaces.
  Description: A very deadly and efficient taijutsu attack. While at an elevated position, the user will grab their opponent from behind. Firmly locking themselves to their back, the user will then lock their ankles onto the opponent's neck in order to get their body rigid. Finally, on the descent, the user proceeds to drive and plant the victim head first into the ground. Essentially a belly to back pile-driver, the move can provide a great concussion to his opponent's head.
  Domain: Universal Taijutsu.
  
  Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)
  Rank: C
  Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
  Range: 0 - 5 meters
  Special: Due to the nature of the combination, once the first hit connects, the rest usually do. Damage stacks per successful hit.
  Description: An effective aerial attack, the user first begins to maneuver to their opponent in a vulnerable aerial position. While shadowing them, the user will attempt to strike them from a vulnerable angle. First, they will strike as a feint in order to draw their target's attention and defense to one area. Then, a true strike is made towards the most undefended area, proceeded by several more until the user violently begins knocking them down and towards the ground. As the enemy falls back to the earth, the user will deftly rotate their body around to deliver a full force kick to their chest.
  Domain: Universal Taijutsu.
  
  Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
  Rank: D
  Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
  Range: 0 - 5 meters
  Consumption: Low
  Special: Shunpo is much like Shunshin, a forward-moving high-speed technique that transports the user across a short space in the blink of an eye. When used, the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. 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.
  
  
• Spear Techniques:
  
  Sojutsu (Art of the Spear)
  Rank: D
  Type: Passive / Taijtusu / Sojutsu
  Range: See special!
  Special: Range is determined by spear. Allows the user to essentially pierce stronger barriers and with more strikes as they delve deeper into the art and learn more techniques.
  Description: Sojutsu, or the art of the spear, is an art almost if not just as ancient as any other art of weapons, highly regarded for its forward piercing power, its long reach, and its close range blunt attacks. Sojutsu derives its basic form with a stance where the user's off hand shoulder is facing forward, their torso is facing left or right, and their dominant shoulder is at the rear. The dominant hand is at the rear of the spear, the off hand is near the front of the spear and the legs are slightly spread and the user is slightly crouched.
  Domain: Sojutsu
  
  Shokubutsu Tane (Sow Seed)
  Rank: D
  Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Sojutsu
  Range: 0 - 1 meter (+ Spear Range)
  Stamina: Low
  Special: The user thrusts forward and then immediately retracts their spear in a lightning-fast attack. Rank of damage is equal to the spear's base rank, plus the user's highest Sojutsu ranka acting as bonus penetrating damage. Can be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
  Description: A simple yet effective move, the most basic and first taught move of sojutsu is the basic thrust. Using the momentum of the whole body to move the spear forward and then retracting with the same force to create a offensive pierce.
  Domain: Sojutsu.
  
  Kousei (Rebirth)
  Rank: D
  Type: Defensive / Taijutsu / Sojutsu
  Range: 0 - 1 meter (+ Spear Range)
  Stamina: Low
  Special: A simple technique where the user simply raises their spear above head and spins it in a helicopter fashion, effectively blocking light air borne projectiles. Rank of blocked projectile depends on the user's highest 'Sojutsu' rank. Can block up to 1 projectile per pass, plus 1 more each time retrained. For every 10 projectiles trained for blocking, the Stamina Consumption of this technique rises by one level.
  Description: The user raises their spear in the air and twirls it with great prowess threatening to decapitate or preventing an aerial shower of weapons from hitting the user
  Domain: Sojutsu
  
  Minori (Harvest)
  Rank: D
  Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Sojutsu
  Range: 0 - 1 meter (+ Spear Range)
  Stamina: Low
  Special: Damage is equal to spear's base rank. Allows the user to strike more than once with each spin. When first learned, up to 1 spin can be made; each time retrained, an additional spin is gained per use, resulting in additional strikes per each use. For every 5 spins trained for blocking, the Stamina Consumption of this technique rises by one level.
  Description: For when the user dispatches one opponent in the front and has one in the back or to thwart a rear assault. The user spins their spear in a clock wise formation so that it creates a full circle with the tip of the spear, the direction from head to toe. The user then turns around at the end with their spear facing the opposite direction. The spear serves to stave off and create distance between the user and any person in front or behind them. The user then immediately turns to face a new threat.
  Domain: Sojutsu
