Nyu walked in to the tavern wearing her typical clean cut outfit with her two katanas at her side.It was well maintained yet empty except for the bartender in the back. He looked to be a  old feeble man who was simply polishing a glass bottle. The place itself had decent polished wooden tables and matching chairs that were of average quality. Immediately she walked towards the bar with a smile on her face as she took a seat getting a whistle from the bartender."And what can I get you to drink?" He said  looking her up and down with a smirk as she held up a palm of denial. "Forgive me, i'm actually in here looking for work if you know where I can find it." She would say folding her arms in her seat slightly tapping as she awaited for a response. "Oh, well there is something I have if your up for it." The old man replied setting down the glass he was in the midst of polishing. "DO tell." She said internally feeling a bit impatient. "A nearby town that's just straight ahead from this tavern supposedly got attacked and claimed by bandits. Forced to give tributes and such. Someone came by here secretly in a cloak and told me to pass the message to anyone who could handle it and they would reward them." Nyu was sold as she she stood up with a bow before exiting.

 It wasn't like her to go out and save people because they were meant to die already. But she did need money and in a situation like this.Sighing she headed out of the tavern in to the woods in the direction towards the village. It had been far too long since she had the pleasure of facing someone in combat. And what better opportunity to get her feet wet.

Common bandits wandered through the village, carrying shiny daggers and heavy clubs. They watched the villagers with narrowed eyes. A few of them grinded their weapons on nearby houses and trees in an attempt to appear more intimidating.

At the center was a hooded figure. His body was obscured by a ruby red cloak. The top half of his face was covered by a copper mask that resembled a skull, and a large scythe rested on his shoulder. Red Reaper sat on a stump, gently fondling the pile of money at his side.

"Now this is a good haul," he said. "Maybe we outta make this place our base."

[luin]

Nyu had appeared at the edge of the village where she saw two people carrying both crude weaponry as she would call it.Drawing both her blades o she would have made her way towards the two  that were in her sight as she dash towards them at full speed to hopefully catch them off guard. When  she neared towards them Nyu would bring her left arm and slash towards both their throats to hopefully kill them in one fell swoop. However if she were to miss and saw them back up she continue to step forward and slash from a lower angle in a diagonal line with her right blade. If the two were to dodge her initial swing she would then jump back in to a stance to prepare herself for any attacks from the opposition a small smirk growing on her face.


Too much time was passing already she thought to herself during her actions. Hopefully they all together were something of a challenge for she was only during single fights here and there. Been a few weeks she took out a bandit force supposedly as large as this before. Even she still had no idea of the amount of enemies that were within the village but it mattered not for she would strike them all down. Savoring and enjoying everyone of their defeats. That was the way of her lifestyle her art of battle. It was all too thrilling that she couldn't wait to take on the boss.

The first strike dug into the necks of the two bandits, bringing their life to an abrupt end. As their bodies fell and spilled blood all over the floor, one of the nearby villagers screamed in fear and ran away from the scene. The villager's scream immediately drew the attention of the other bandits. They took combat stances as they saw two of their numbers dead upon the floor. Red Reaper growled, standing up from his stump and holding his scythe in both hands.

"That's not the way you go about joining us," Red Reaper said, pointing at swordswoman. "Get rid of her!"

Of the eight remaining bandits, three charged forward first. The first to approach came head on, his club raised overhead to smash down on the swordswoman. Meanwhile, the other two bandits ran in from each side. Their daggers were raised to stab simultaneously at their target.

[luin]

Nyu jumped back once slitting their throats as she flicked the blood of her blades. A shriek of a nearby villagers alerted the rest of the bandits. She looked up hearing a man speak which she assumed to be the leader. Jumping back again to put some distance from the on comping bandits she set up in her stance before dashing forward at full speed in a low run before appearing below the hulking bandit as was bringing down his club but Nyu would explosively jump slashing the air in front of him creating vacuum blades slashing both sides of him as she flew up in to the air 3m. She would then turn mid-air to face the other two bandits who had rushed her and done the same thing however but slashing downwards to hopefully hit the two.If she did she would dash forward past the once again before turning to get in her stance once more and face the remaining bandits.

<ooc: No worries, everyone has their things to do.>

The first three bandits fell without issue. The first was too slow to respond, and the other two were unable to match the reach of swords with their daggers.

Red Reaper's frown deepened. The swordswoman was beyond the strength of his meager bandits. Instead, he signaled to a pair of bandits to his left. Those bandits stepped toward a nearby wall, where a villager was crouching near the ground. One bandit wrapped her arm around the young village's neck, while the other bandit pressed his knife to the villager's neck.

"I guess we can't play fair," Red Reaper growled. "Throw down your swords, or that man over there throws down his head."

Red Reaper let the threat linger, thinking that the swordswoman was here to save.

[luin]

Nyu would have laughed as they took a hostage as she crouched low in her double slash stance. " One life over many is very fair  deal!!" She would yell bursting forward towards the leader and whoever stood in his way. Using the speed from her run she would then jump in mid air spinning rapidly to swing both her blades from the left side sending out two vacuum blades in the direction of the leader while using the same momentum to keep spinning to send off two more but diagonal vacuum blades right after the first two all 4 launching towards his direction to slice him up if it hit. She would then try and brace herself landing in her double slash stance to continue to face the bandit leader as well as any surrounding bandits who decided to stop her or himself if they had not interrupted her initial attack.

Nyu was definitely feeling alive as she had fun killing these pathetic losers. The feel of steel against flesh as she continued on purging the weak. Although part of her did wish for them to be slightly stronger. If they were hell she might even take some of them on if they decided to leave this run-down village alone. She also kept in mind to deal with explaining the death of the man if they had killed him with continued attack. As she yelled out to the leader one life over many truly was a fair deal after all.

Red Reaper's eyes went wide as the swordswoman charged. He hadn't expected her to entirely ignore his threat.

When Nyu charged forth and slashed, Red Reaper threw his scythe up into the air. Though he didn't expect the sudden rush, he already saw the swordswoman's attack against his fallen bandits. He knew about the air projectiles, and so he jumped as soon as he saw the slashes against the air. Red Reaper narrowly avoided the slashes, then grabbed his scythe while he was airborne.

Then, as Red Reaper fell downward, he slammed the blade end of his scythe into the ground. From the impact, an explosion of shrapnel, dirt, and stone blasted out. Red Reaper aimed it so that the blast covered the swordswoman's landing zone, though he didn't leap close enough to hit with the kill radius. He didn't want to be too close.

Greater Plough
Rank: B, C+
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Heavy downward strike against a target or the ground. This utilizes the weight of the blade down onto the point for piercing damage.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: To set this technique up the user throws their Scythe up 5 meters into the air. The hang time of the Scythe lasts half a second, additional C rank training increases this another half a second up to a max of 6 seconds. This hang time creates a few options for the user. They may perform handseals or other techniques within the hang time of the Scythe. Then the user can either simply catch the Scythe when it falls to the ground, or jump up to meet the Scythe before the end of its hang time. If the user jumps up they can then follow up by striking down toward the ground in much the same fashion as Lesser Plough except now they have the added force from falling from up in the air. An explosion emanates forward from the point of impact from the Scythe blade creating a widening crater. A conical depression that is 15 Meters long and 7 Meters wide in a cone shape, that will send a spray of stones from the ground or whatever material the Scythe blade had damaged. No material greater than Stone can be damaged in this fashion unless the user knows Cutting the Void for which they can apply to and virtually decimate nearly any material with. The debris that explodes out acts like a shrapnel grenade and has a kill radius of 1 meter within the conical depression and a injure radius of 5 meters around the cone depression. Also finer debris is kicked up and momentary blindness happens in the same way as Lesser Plough.
Limit: Must learn from a master of the Kamashi Fighting Style. Must know Lesser Plough

[luin]

As Nyu finished her spin mid-air she noticed that the leader jump  in to the and fell as he aimed his scythe towards the ground. She tried to jump back as although not close she was still affected by the flying debris which she tried with all her efforts to slice away as she jumped back. However some bits did get through and sliced through her closed cutting across her cheek,arms,legs and even sides letting fresh blood seep through. She wasn't able to tell how deep the cuts were however but the pain was still there as she kept her stance going as she took slow breaths assessing the situation.

She had to try and knock him off balance as she charged forward and instead of jumping high in to the air she just jumped high enough to some air time a few feet off the ground as she spun with her sword before slashing forward to send out a 10m cone of air towards the read reaper. And would follow up by jumping in to the air once more as she would aim both her sword both downward to slam in to the ground aimed to  pierce through his chest and smash the ground creating a 5m crater.

Red Reaper pulled his scythe out from the ground, then threw his scythe up into the air once more. However, before he could jump again, the cone of air pounded against him and sent him falling back. He stumbled on his ruby red cloak, the heel digging into the fabric and sliding beneath him.

Fallen, Red Reaper watched as the swordswoman fell upon him, piercing his body with the blade with enough force to crumble the ground beneath.

He didn't live long.

Having seen their leader killed, the bandits scattered. None of them were able to match their leader in strength. A swordswoman stronger than him wasn't a swordswoman they were willing to remain near.

Red Reaper's scythe landed somewhere behind Nyu, digging into the ground by the blade.

<Mission Completed>

[luin]

As Luin sinked her blades in to his chest creating a 5m crater from the impact the surrounding bandits scattered having run off in fear as his scythe fell next to her blade. Removing them and sheathing both her blades Luin yawned as the stinging sensation of all her cuts annoyed her the pain being great and irritating. After talking and liberating all of the villagers she met with the village chief as he offered a reward for her services as she left past the massive graveyard she had not noticed at first. Her first large scale battle in ages and she had one which was good. Killing and the feel of steel against flesh has not left her neither her skill as well.

Bewitching
Rank: "C"
Skill: Heritage Trait
Effect: A trait that allows the user to speak while manipulating the feelings of others.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Some humans have an uncanny ability to manipulate others, often due to an alluring physical trait. When dealing with NPCs whose starting attitude toward them is not Hostile, they can choose to use this ability to temporarily improve their attitude toward those NPCs by a greater degree than normal. When speaking, treat the NPC’s starting attitude as 1 level higher than it actually is for the purpose of determining their new attitude. The NPC’s new attitude lasts only for a number of minutes equal to 2 per Class level. After that time, the attitude returns to the state it was before the user spoke. If circumstances in the interim have rendered the NPC violent or hostile (such as from being attacked by the bewitcher), the NPC’s attitude remains where it is (rather than returning to its original state). This trait replaces 1 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 1 Freebies.
