Post One - Tessen Hanro!
By the bank of a river within Kusagakure, a young man could be found, focusing on his breathing. Inhale His hand whipped backwards, a fan held within his palm, wrapped with his fingers. Exhale. In a jerking motion, he swung his wrist forward with poor form, causing the fan to open slightly. He then awkardly forced it to open with his free hand. Bastard.... Then by pushing the fan against the ground with a lack of poise, the Airontoku lad, Exar, closed it. Exar closed his eyes, visualising how he had seen it done before. With a sudden change of form, he loosely gripped the fan, gently yet swiftly moving the fan behind him, moving with the wind. He raised it at an almost exact 110 degree angle, then with an exhale, he transferred all his weight forward onto his front foot but with a stumble he found himself face first in the dirt. With a grimace he pushed himself upwards, much to his surprise, next to him he found his fan had been mostly opened. With a renewed sense of hope, he leapt back to his feet, grappling his fan with his loose grip he had taken before. Releasing himself of all excitement, nerves, fear, he closed his eyes. A slow inhale to match the slow winding back of his arm and wrist, which had been aligned. The fan rose behind his head. With a sharp exhale, and a transfer of weight to his front foot, Exar opened his eyes. His eyes found his fan to be open, catching a glimmer of the sun.Tessen Hanro [Tessen Opening] [10]
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: This is the process of learning how to correctly open a Tessen or Shushken.
Special: --
Drawback:
Description: The act of opening a fan is an art many masters spend their lives perfecting. The exact strength of the wrist, precision of movements, needed accuracy and hand eye coordination are extremely difficult to join together. Add in the weight of the fan and it seems much more daunting. Therefore a student is required to become at least proficient in opening a fan before they are allowed to progress within Habikoru Tessen.
Limit: Must be a follower of Tessen Jutsu
