Down In Flames [Death Thread]

[luin]

[Enter]

It was an average sized tavern. Made of sturdy wood and filled with the scent of booze and blood.  Slash marks scattered the entire building along with the cut open bodies and diced tables. Outside of the tavern was the dirt road 3m wide and running in only two directions parallel to the bar. Around the immediate area was nothing but open grass plains and nothing else in sight. The ground was relatively even.


She sat on on top of the bar with her legs crossed sipping at a glass of water. Both of her katana at her side wearing a intricate black button down shirt connected at the stomach by three large gold colored buttons with a yellow tie. The shirt has a standard notched collar and is trimmed with a gold color as well. The sleeves go all the way down to her wrist and have a cuff with the edge being trimmed in gold as well. On her hands she wears white gloves. Attached to her collar is a badge carrying the symbol of death on it and she has a yellow tie to go along with her outfit. A short black skirt that goes a few inches past her waist with black leggings and black shinobi style boots.


This tavern had been controlled by one of the 7 Kings of Color. The Yellow Clown and Nyu had taken it upon herself to eliminate the entire place. She had made swift work of them had taken a seat on the bar to admire her work. It wouldn't be long before the man she had allowed to live to return with reinforcements and she simply couldn't wait for them to return. A lady like her should never be kept from her fun after all.

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.

[The Blind Beast]

[Enter]

The sun was setting, or so Shenjie seemed to think, as he felt the sun’s gentle rays sitting upon the western side to his right as he traveled along the dirt path that seemed to be about 3 meters wide, even though the area was mostly forested. Shenjie could hear a stream, just about 20 meters up the way where there was a bridge that probably crossed it, but Shenjie wasn’t focusing on that, rather than the inn that he was coming up on. Shenjie could only feel one person inside as he approached the shelter, and it smelled very distinctly of blood, of battle. Shenjie felt a moment of excitement as he figured this person inside could only be a formidable warrior. Maybe this person could help him on his path to discover what strength truly was, Shenjie thought to himself as he entered the messed up tavern, wondering if there were any survivors.

Shenjie, as he would appear to the woman, wore a grey Karate Gi. His sleeves rolled up to the elbow exposed his thick muscles, as well as his chest, which was exposed slightly from under the Gi. His black belt was tied around his body, the right strip reading Goutetsu KarateDo Nidan Shitakuma Shenjie. That being said, he was clearly a Karate Ka. He was carrying half of his daredevils staff, the half that turned into nunchucks was held firmly in his right hand. With his left hand he held a bag over his shoulder, which housed a few sounds bells, 2 sensory poles, a few explosive tags, and Shenjie’s ninja headband. He was a rather plain fellow otherwise though, his hair had grown out a little but for the most part it was clean shaven. His chin had a bit of stubble beginning to form as he had been traveling for quite a while now.

To the person perched up on the bar, Shenjie stopped and put his bag down for a moment. “Are you the warrior who did this?” He asked calmly as he attempted to feel out if this person was a worthy opponent. On his forearms and fists he wore a fingerless, steel-lined, training gauntlets that were not just weights, but also used for when up against opponent’s using weapons, as Shenjie deduced that the person had a sword shaped object in her vibration upon her hip. “If so, show me your strength,” Shenjie stated, getting into the second goutetsu posture, bouncing on his feet as he analyzed the situation.

Tremor Sense X10
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Tremor Sense Advanced X5
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations. By this time the user has a more of a sense and understanding over the movement of vibrations. This is not a drawback but by now the user is capable of sensing vibrations off of the sense of ice. Now this does not mean that the user can see with the distance as Tremor Sense and Tremor Sense Advance for Ice, only Expertise gets to allow the user see with Ice vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. The technique here does not stack with the original version the first step of the technique. This means that this technique can never overlay the first step of Tremor sense. What this means is this. If a user knows Tremor sense of a Hundred meters, then they can not surpass that distance with Tremor Sense Advanced. The advanced form is much better to be capable of seeing then that of the First step. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life. Must have Tremor Sense that surpases in distance of Advanced

Nyu barely noticed the presence of the man until he was in front of her. He seemed to be a fighter of sorts looking for battle considering how surveyed the carnage and still decided to enter. Not to mention the clothes he wore along with that sack on his back. Despite all the other people she had faced so far this man had prescence. "Indeed I am wanderer." Hopping off the bar and throwing the glass behind her Nyu giggled. "I accept your challenge may the winner leave alive." She stated going into the same exact stance he did. She would extend her arm and start everything off by releasing her soul hurtling towards him. It would be bad if she were to lose her blades early on might as well fight fist with fist for the fun of it.


Nyu would be on edge despite sending out her soul. If he were to dodge she would end it and follow after him with her full speed and intensity. If Shinjie had made any move to heads towards her she would rush towards him straight on with a wide kick from the right to try and keep him at bay. As it stands, being inside this cramped room only made it more difficult for her to move and gave more opportunities for him to move.

Shenjie was pleased that the individual had accepted his challenge, but had not expected them to not prepare themselves first. Shenjie felt the need to dodge come over him as the girl extended her hand. Shenjie’s soul sense was tingling a little bit, and he could tell that she was using some sort of soul related technique. Slipping his body to the side, avoiding the ray like attack that he had sensed was heading his way. The evasion was simple enough and he was now on the attack running towards his target; whom was already dashing towards him. As he began to run, he felt his opponent’s body shift as they approached. Middle kick, left side (You kicked right, so it’s to Shenjie’s left) Shenjie thought to himself as he stepped forward with his left foot, sinking his weight as he bent his legs and used his hips in such a way that he was well balanced, raising his left forearm as the kick approached holding strong as he intercepted the kick, before bending his hand out to push the kick away.

Stepping in Shenjie quickly leaned his body forward, throwing an overhand punch towards the person’s face respectively, while cocking his left hand downward, recovering from the block and launching it towards the warrior’s sternum. The objective of this attack was to use the girl’s off balance position in recovering from the kick to throw a surprise attack, which in this close quarters was going to be hard to avoid. Normally Shenjie would have refrained from using the Yamazuki; however it was perfect for this moment where the opponent was off balance and unable to effectively dodge or jump out of the way. Shaking his lower left hand so that deadly vibrations would reverberate through the target’s body when he hit, Shenjie’s first attack was proving dangerous as he was attacking full force.

Footwork
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A simple technique in which is needed to know in order to keep the boxer moving keeping them light on their toes against opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: Get caught flat-footed and you will be vulnerable to counterpunches.

Practice moving side to side or in a circular motion around your opponent. Shift and shuffle your feet quickly, but keep them close to the ground so you have a solid base under you. Switch stances often when training. This means you'll change which foot is in front. Work your calf muscles by jumping rope, biking and doing bag drills while moving constantly. Good footwork requires training with an integrated approach to movement, strategy, punches thrown and balance. It all has to work together, so you should always be thinking about your footwork.

The man had easily dodged her soul attack before charging straight at her. He intercepted her kick and dived in after pushing it away. She was off balance and completely open for his following attack. She put her arm up to try and stop the attack to the face but the full force broke through and hit her along with a unseen attack from below that tore through her internal organs and body. The shock of the intense hit sent her back in to the counter behind her as she grinned and grimaced through the pain.

To try and fight back she would move in to her orthodox upright stance and  dash straight towards him  until she was standing in front of him. She wanted to bash his head in with this next blow. Nyu planted her left foot in to the ground after her dash and rotated her hips to  throw a  powerful left hook at her opponent's head. The punch had blood lust inbued in it and would seem to follow through. However it was only a feint to distract him and mid way Nyu would stop the punch and jump 2m to the right back in her orthodox upright stance to put in some distance.  "It seems you forced my hand warrior the gates will soon be opened. Maybe we should take this outside." She spoke with delight in her voice. Even suriving the blow she could still feel it affecting her.

Jutsu Used

Upright Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Basic upright stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an Upright Stance, you should stand with your legs roughly shoulder-width apart. Your back foot should be about half a step behind your front foot. If your dominant boxing hand is your right hand, your left foot will lead. Lift your right heel off the ground by about 3 inches and point both feet inward (although do not exaggerate this movement). If you lift your heel too far off the ground, or turn your feet too far inward, you will become unbalanced. As a test, imagine someone pushing you from any direction. In a properly balanced stance, you should be able to maintain an upright position and not fall to the ground or sway from side to side. To increase the stability of your stance, keep your knees and hips slightly bent but make sure your back is straight. Your lead fist (which will be your left fist if your dominant boxing hand is your right hand) should be positioned vertically at eye level, approximately six inches away from your face. Your right fist should be positioned next to your chin, with your elbow held against your ribcage. This is good defensive positioning and will effectively protect your body. Whilst watching televised boxing matches, you may have noticed the boxers tapping their cheeks with their hands. This repetitive action acts as a reminder to keep fists up at all times and is especially important as the match progresses and energy levels drop. To further protect yourself from blows from your opponent, keep your chin pressed against your chest. Punches to the jaw often cause knock-outs, so it is essential to keep this stance throughout the boxing match.

The Hook
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Shift your weight subtly forward by slightly bending your front leg while elevating your lead elbow to about shoulder height. Push off your front leg to shift your weight more towards the back leg while rotating your torso in the same direction with your lead hand heading towards a specific target. For the purpose of this intro we'll aim face high. That rotation and shifting motion should be accompanied by a whipping or thrusting of the hips. If you have your left leg forward and are throwing a lead hand hook (left hand hook) your hips should thrust from left to right while executing this punch. The punch should reach its mark with tremendous force. This will happen by throwing it fast and aiming to land your fist 6 to 8 inches beyond your target. Your fist can either be positioned to have your palm facing you or the ground. Return to your original stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles.

Sakki
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A fear tactic technique used to have an opponent drops their guard for a counter, or allows the user time to recover or leave.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Sakki is the technique of adding rage or bloodlust to a feint punch to fool the opponent into guarding or attacking so that the user can land a counter or buy some recovery time. This kind of feint punch is not a normal feint punch as it is put soul into the technique. There is nothing more frightening than a punch that you know is coming that never comes. The opponent will treat it as if it is a real punch. When the user throws the punches they throw a feint, however what the opponent sees is a punch that never comes. The user attacks with such ferociousness and intent to hit that the opponent feels and sees the hit but no hit comes. When the user performs this technique it stops and makes an opponent block for a feint for an amount of two moments, which is long enough time to allow the user to attack with stronger attacks. When the user first learns this technique the user is able to pull this off twice in a single battle before the opponent catches on. Each time the user learns this technique they become more skilled in this technique and is able to perform this technique an extra time per battle.

[The Blind Beast]

Shenjie’s attack had made contact, and he felt her vibration getting knocked back as the person stumbled backwards from the impact. Shenjie had really out done himself this time. As the target stumbled backwards, they then began to approach in an orthodox boxing stance. Shenjie could feel their bloodlust welling up in their body. He could sense it. It was fierce, and hateful, and Shenjie couldn’t’ help but feel as if he needed to react. Exhaling calmly, Shenjie felt as the bloodlust created a strike, which Shenjie felt coming towards him, a hook of sorts. Shenjie’s response was to lean away pulling his body backwards and putting his hands up by his ears, putting up a peekaboo guard. Shenjie prepared himself to defend when he realized that the target moved rather than striking.

Shenjie turned his body to face his target, he mimicked her orthodox stance, but it was modified, being the second Goutetsu stance. “You may be right, let us take this outside.” Shenjie said as he picked up his gear, figuring the fellow warrior was going to honor her words of wanting to go outside…not that Shenjie ever stopped paying attention, he could still sense her with his tremor sense. If allowed, Shenjie would take his gear, and walk out the door, taking his position at the edge of the 3m path, getting into the second Goutetsu stance as he waited.

Tech Used:
Peek-a-Boo
Rank: ["D"], "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The peek-a-boo guard is a defensive style that is extremely popular with professional and amateur boxers. This type of guard is also commonly known as ‘the earmuffs’.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an effective peek-a-boo position, hold your hands next to each other in front of your face. Keep your elbows tight against your body whilst maintaining a relaxed stance. This guard will minimize damage from direct strikes to the head but it is a difficult guard from which to mount a counter-attack. The main drawback to the peek-a-boo is that it leaves the boxer vulnerable to hooks from the opponent. The peek-a-boo defensive style is especially suitable for shorter fighters. This is primarily because shorter boxers have shorter arms and are therefore able to gain more leverage in looping punches. Furthermore, shorter fighters will be able to cover the gaps in the guard position more effectively. Taller fighters, who will presumably have longer torsos, are more vulnerable to strikes on the body than shorter boxers. This is not to say that they should avoid employing the peek-a-boo guard but they should always be more aware of this increased vulnerability. NOTE: Only works when the user is in the Peek-a-Boo guard position. When first learned this technique gives the Armour a hardness of a 20 against Bludgeoning Damage. Each time learned the hardness of the Armour increases by 5 giving a max of a Hardness 40 at "S" Rank.

Pulling Away
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used in which the user measures an attack's length, and pulls away by bending their back backwards allowing to be used for counter attacks, or just simply an evasion.
Special: ---
Drawback: If a user is unable to predict the length of an attack, the user could very well get hit by an attack.
Description: Picture The opponent makes an attacked such as a straight, or a hook. The attack must be a mid straight or under over attack such as an uppercut. An over under attack such as the overhand punch will work against the pulling away. For those types of attacks it is best to slip inside or outside an attack. When an opponent attacks the user bends backwards away from the attack or steps back away from an attack. This defense is great against overreaching attacks. When the opponent makes his mark the user must determine the length of the attack. Once determined they are able to dodge the attack by doing what was stated earlier.

Nyu's breathing was heavy for a few moments as she waited in anticipation. Her feint had worked and she was able to put distance between the two. Not only that but he agreed to take the fight outside. Nyu watched and waited where she was as he picked up his gear and headed outside. Once he exited the doors she would follow suit while drawing her blades.Stopping right outside the doors of the bar at the other start of the 3m road Nyu stared down her opponent. She held her arms to where both blades were  parallel and pointing to the right. " I will fight you with my full strength. My name is Nyu Dunae."

Nyu's body remembered the feel of this man's punches. She could surely die today so she had to put everything she had into this. To face a opponent that was stronger than her. Gripping the handles of her blade she grinned madly hoping to meet a warrior's end or at least come out victorious of an amazing battle. Either way this would be a milestone in her life.

This fight was progressing outside, and Shenjie began to feel a bit saddened. This fighter was still probably young, and he didn’t want to end their life…there was no meaning to it. Reaching into his bag as the person introduced themselves, Shenjie tied his Iwagakure shinobi headband around his head as he introduced himself. “Well met, I am Shenjie Shitakuma, Shinobi of the hidden Stone village.” Shenjie stated curtly as he analyzed the layout of what was around him as the opponent took a posture, moving their swords to his left, the opponent’s right. The bar door, hanging on a hinge, Shenjie felt the old wooden piece there behind his target as he discerned his environment.

The fight would surely have to continue, but at what rate was this showing in his favor. The woman had drawn weapons, and that was going to prove to be tricky. He would have to attack while she was open, but that was going to take some work. Charging at his opponent, keeping his environment in mind, Shenjie quickly dashed towards his opponent. “Leaf Whirlwind!” Shenjie shouted as he jumped up in the air and swung his right leg around towards his opponent’s head in a jumping spin kick that would follow up with a second kick with the trailing leg from the same direction. His attention was focused on her weapons as he prepared himself to be attacked.

Nyu reacted to the jump by moving forward herself preparing to swing with her blades. However mid-way she froze up. The damage from earlier leaving her stunned left her body open and defenseless. The kick was fast and deadly crashing in to her neck and curshing it upon impact. The force alone was enough to send her flying 16m to her right as she tumbled to the ground.
Nyu gripped her blades they were still in her hand. She wanted to die a real swordswoman with her blades still in her hands. Her eyes looked back at her opponent before she closed them with a smile on her face. Damn she simply thought to herself, she had finally loss.
