appearance.

Akira is close to four foot seven inches, with dark auburn hair and a sharp feature about him. Dashed, naturally aligned eyebrows, perked cheekbones, almost a rounded chin. Small, rouged pale pink lips, even to his corners; they are sharp. With round, but perked ears. Akira has dark, fluttering eyelashes. But the face is just the figurehead of the machine.

His body is rough and toughened- cracked, sandpaper like hands with grip. Even his fingernails are pale; with creases in his fingers prominent as he either clenches or relaxes his hands. With tanned skin and prominent bones that show throughout his body. Akira has broad shoulders for his age, and despite his height has a charged frame. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist of course, his body being predisposed to building muscle instead of storing fat.

But nonetheless, despite this he is a short person- and these features make him look much older and rough than he should do. Nonetheless this makes him seem slightly out of place, only complimented by his temperament.

personality.

Despite the physique, Akira is honestly a calm person at heart. He thinks what he wants and of course his opinions are based around that. He has no certain definition of right and wrong, because Akira himself is very philosophical and can often be seen thinking or daydreaming. Akira likes to think himself as calculative and wise, but is only shown saying things that can at times, be inappropriate- such as which Akira has dry humor, dry and dark.

Akira has always been one of those walk the walk people; choosing to do the right thing. Or what he thinks is right anyway, Akira believes he has a warped definition of everything. Everything is but a lie but neither the truth.

Akira likes to be on the ball consistently, and prefers to be in the right than the wrong. He doesn't like being wrong very much but even if that, he will keep quiet- instead of letting people know his feelings. Akira is a person that dislikes weakness in himself. In other people he encourages them, and helps them, and nurture them. But in himself, he refuses it. He doesn't like other people knowing his problems- he sees it as bringing a burden upon someone else, and something he will not allow.

Someone who is on the wrong, or the neutral alignment will find him to be on the cold, sarcastic side that likes to jab them with comments that he picks out on. Seeing as Akira likes to cross his arm a lot. According to someone who would pick at his height, Akira doesn't retaliate with anger- but with wit. This is how Akira does this. He tries to see the light of things... that, can sometimes be with no avail.

aspirations.
Akira wishes to be a taijutsu master, and a fūinjutsu master. He also wishes to be a masterful philosophical writer. Other than that he doesn't wish to be much else.

skills.
Akira is extremely creative and as of such the art of genjutsu, and fūinjutsu is the right art for him. They allow him to express his creativity in both astounding and colorful ways. Not all of his creations are deadly and that kill people. In the most possible sense, the three things he is good at, is chakra control, genjutsu and fūinjutsu.[/blockquote][/style]

history.
damnant quod non intelligunt They condemn, what they do not understand. Akira was a child of intelligence. On a summer's evening, with a thick, choking atmosphere of a father awaiting his young. He nervously stepped from side to side; a reoccurring habit of his, that and one hand raised to his face, biting his fingernails. He wasn't a strong man, but he wasn't weak. One who could sit there silently, waiting for their own children to pop out would be impossible. But slowly doors opened, revealing a woman, and a clean, wrapped baby. rinako, akira. This was the name deemed by his own mother. It couldn't have been the better name.

For the very first years they passed rather quickly. Akira, was not a crying baby. He did not cry to get what he needed at such an early stage in life. Doctors and nurses could not come to a clear conclusion of the mental state of such a child. But it became clear in time. People believed Akira had selective mutism from a young age. But then again he couldn't fight against it- he was a child. Akira was shy mostly in the academy. But that's not to be told yet.

Akira firstly as a toddler spent a lot of his time playing, and if food wasn't provided, it wasn't eaten. Akira, was not fussy on a dangerous level. So his parents developed a schedule of eating and drinking, and always made sure to spend a lot more time communicating with Akira. It was needed, because Akira was different.

His childhood wasn't that much different. It became easier for them because he sustained his own needs moderately. There were many a problem till he was older. Akira was chosen to be distant to those in his class, he didn't have many friends. Those that were friends knew about his condition, well- vaguely anyway. Akira didn't talk in class much, and had only ever responded to his teacher a couple of times; they were intelligent responses. In other events, they would recieve nothing but silence. Akira chose to be that way, until about the third year in the in his academy; He was broken out of his shell, from the sudden uptake in physical activity and the sudden interaction from other people, had ripped away at his very core temperament. It was unnerving.

He found something he was good at.

When a group of hired jōnin came to the academy to provide practicals on their arts, Akira had wandered into the spectrum of the jōnin that done taijutsu, crossed with a swordsperson. Her arrival had been astounding- her explanation had been simple, and he could understand it. Akira, surprising almost everyone in his group had a conversation with the jōnin. Akira found something that he could realistically pursue. That, and ninjutsu. With the three hour practical, half of which had been spread between two areas. Both he had loved. A good reason to become a taijutsu artist. He preferred the term artist, in the way the jōnin explained it.

Akira sailed through the physical aspect. Despite his height and how everyone grew... and to his dismay he didn't. But he was physically strong, strong enough anyway. Eventually, he passed the Academy with no real setbacks; but the mutism that he once had was gone. He was... Rinako Akira one year passed outside his academy life, and nonetheless he would continue his journey; Akira understood he was going to be far from it... but he would get to where he wanted to be. He was going to get there.

A lot of time had passed, and he had found that he was turning out the way he didn't want to be. So rather simply- he left. He wasn't aware of why he took the academy teacher spot. But he no longer wanted it. So of course, he left. He kind of wanted a peaceful life.... with alcohol involved.

ACCESSORIES

SPOILER: Click to show

Training Weights
Rank: C - A
Type: Accessory / Self
Special: 'C' ranked version is for Tai Tertiaries; 'B' for Tai Secondaries; finally, 'A' ranked version is for Taijutsu Primaries. When worn, all leg related Taijutsu is improved by the equivalent weight rank, but the user suffers a speed loss equivalent to half their normal movement speed. However, when removed, a large speed boost is gained, equal to double the user's normal speed, and lasts for as many turns as the user had the weights equipped for. Once a boost is used, another cannot be performed until the user re-equips the weights for double the amount of turns used to charge the previous boost - i.e. if the user has it on the first time for 3 turns and took it off, then they can only boost again in the same thread if the user now wears it for 6 turns. The recounter is restarted once the user leaves the thread.
Description: Though an old fashioned training method, taijutsu specialists use these extremely heavy weights to increase their speed and movement. These weights are usually worn under the warmers on the user's lower legs. When removed, the user gains a great increase in their speed and mobility. The weights are marked with the kanji for "guts".
Cost: 5,000 // 10,000 // 20,000 Ryo (prices per weight!)

TAIJUTSU

600/1000

SPOILER: Click to show

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
Rank: D, D, D, D,
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Stamina: 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.




X' Joutou! ('X' Jump)
Rank: C, C, C, C, C, C
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Stamina: Mid
Special: Can only be performed during or after the apex of the user's initial jump. Can execute up to 1 mid-air jump before hitting the ground, plus 1 more each time retrained.
Description: Once in the air, only the most advanced Taijutsu users can manage to use their brute strength to actually jump against the air using friction, effectively jumping again before hitting the ground.
Domain: Universal Taijutsu.

Hien (Flying Swallow)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: See Special!
Stamina: High
Special: Extends the blade of any bladed weapon through chakra by fifty percent (50%) of the blade's total length the first time learned; each time retrained, ten percent (10%) of the blade's total length is added.
Description: By unconsciously feeding their chakra into any bladed weapon, the user will manage to extend the length of the weapon by providing an extra extension of visible chakra. This creation will yield an extremely sharp edge that functions like the normal blade itself. By seeing only the user's bladed weaponry, the opponent may miss the Hien and misjudge how far they need to move to avoid an incoming strike. As a result, even if they manage to avoid the metal portion of the blade, the chakra portion may cut into them as well.
Domain: Universal Taijutsu.

JU KENSHI

2075/2000

Zanbatou Mochi (Charged Attack Sentinel)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: Self
Stamina: Very Low - Very High
Special: Highest rank known determines strength of charge, as well a charge time. Bonus damage calculator - add the base rank of the Ju Kenshi's sword plus any bonus it brings, PLUS the highest rank of this technique. The user can determine which rank they want to use, but it must be proportionate to the rank of any other technique used if used in tandem with something.
D: Full Post (5 seconds)
C: 3/4th's of a Post (4 Seconds)
B: Half a Post (3 Seconds)
A: 1/4th a Post (2 Seconds)
S: Near-Instant! (less than 1 Second)

Description: The basis of all Ju Kenshi techniques, Zanbatou Mochi alows the Ju Kenshi to briefly "charge" their attack, pausing momentarily in order to gather their might. Then, quicker than the blink of an eye, they can unleash their strike anywhere they please, extra force behind it to either defend against incoming strikes or deliver an extra useful strike. Though the brief charge and small period after the swing leaves the user open, the trade-off is a devastating swinging sword that can decimate anything in its way.
Domain: Ju Kenshi

Sasu (Stinger)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High
Special: Reliant on Shunpo, this attack allows the Ju Kenshi to move as fast the High-Speed Foot Technique in a straight line after charging. As such, each 'Stinger' used consumes a single 'Shunpo' charge, allowing the user to travel up to 10 meters; multiple 'Shunpo' can be strung together to make one big 'Stinger', at the cost of using so many charges up. Keep in mind a half-second long delay occurs at the end of the Stinger, before any other movement can be performed. Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi' plus the user's highest rank known in this technique, resulting in bonus penetrating damage. Finally, highest rank also establishes knock-back suffered from a 'Stringer' strike.

D: 2 meter knock-back
C: 4 m k-b
B: 6 m k-b
A: 8 m k-b
S: 10 m k-b

Description: A vicious attack by the Ju Kenshi, the Stinger is a frontal strike residing within the bladed end of the user's oversized sword. By positioning the tip of the sword forward, the Ju Kenshi drives the blade handle forward in order to penetrate anything before them. Moving at lightning speeds after their charge, the user plunges the blade into their enemy, having a high chance of creating the desired incision, and then some. With this technique, all those viewing will witness the unveiling of a true Ju Kenshi.
Domain: Ju Kenshin. Zanbatou Mochi of equal rank.

Kousen (Blade Beam)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High
Special: Highest rank known determines range and speed of the blade beam; width of beam will always be 1/4th of the distance traveled. Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi', plus the user's highest rank known, resulting in bonus slashing damage. Beam travels in a straight line, and requires the swing of the sword's edge towards the desired target in order to be released.

D: 9 meter range / 3 meters per second travel speed
C: 18 m range / 6 mps
B: 27 m range / 9 mps
A: 36 m range / 12 mps
S: 45 m range / 15 mps

Description: As its name implies, the Blade Beam is a range attack as a result of a sword swing. The user cocks their weapon back briefly and, after charging, cuts the air before them. The result is pure cutting power forming a blade beam nearly invisible to the naked eye, able to travel a certain distance at dangerous speed. The speed of the cutter is frighteningly fast, and can grow in size as the Ju Kenshi grows in skill and strength. Finally, the strength of the beam is directly proportionate to the cutting powers of the blade employed.
Domain: Ju Kenshin. Zanbatou Mochi.


Zangeki (X-Cut)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High
Special: Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi' plus the user's highest rank known, resulting in bonus hacking damage - and yes, damage does stack. Each rank known of this technique increases the numbers of cuts performed at once, meaning when the user attacks 'x' amount of times, all of those appear to come off as a singular attack; keep in mind, however, that this STILL stacks Stamina Consumption.

D: 2x cut
C: 3x cut
B: 4x cut
A: 5x cut
S: 6x cut

Description: The X-cut allows the Ju Kenshi to display their fierce-some control over their heavy weaponry by unleashing a quick set of strikes when merely one is expected; that is, while the Ju Kenshi appears to draw with but one slash, perhaps two, or even three have been delivered all at once. The result? A sudden rush of damage onto whatever is foolish enough to stand in its way.
Domain: Ju Kenshin. Zanbatou Mochi.

SPOILER: Click to show

[1] Kaimon (Gate of Opening)

Type: Supplementary / Nintaijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Mid [per turn]
Handseals: No
Special: See subjutsu. Lasts for one turn, plus one more each time retrained. Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt regular Genjutsu 'D' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at twice (6 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye will have a harder time focusing on the user, seeing the figure slightly blurry but still themselves, and a Sharingan Stage 2 would be the only one to truly see with clarity. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields strain, but does not restrict the user's level of Taijutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon) is located in the brain, and upon activation, releases the brain's restraints, allowing full power usage of the body's muscles. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use extremely strong techniques, such as the Iron Fist's Frontal Lotus.Domain: Hachimon.

Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt advanced Genjutsu 'C' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at thrice (9 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye can barely keep up with the user, seeing blurs and streaks, and a Sharingan Stage 3 is the only eye that can truly see the user clearly. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields moderate strain, and restricts user to Taijutsu 'S' ranked and under for the remainder of the fatigue.
Description: Located within the brain, the second stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Rest, raises stamina and assists in recovery after being weakened. By further boosting one's inner strength, they subsequently re energize their body.
