'A' Rank

. d o s s i e r .
____________________________________________________

Age: 23
Height/Weight: 5'2 | 112
Sex: Female
Birth Country: Tsuchi no Kuni
Rank: Chuunin Non-ninja
Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Appearance: Shizuka's slight frame belies her vast strength. She is a wisp of a girl, with thin, finely boned fingers beneath the callouses of a Bojutsu master. Her hair falls down to frame a face blessed by the Enlightened one, almond shaped, sightless eyes as dazzling as a dying star.

Whilst traveling she takes to wearing a tattered wool kimono and traditional yagata (?), and a farmers kasa to shadow the top two-thirds of her face, leaving only her regal chin to grace the eyes of those that might see her. The kimono was once a vibrant blue, like the summer waves of the ocean, but time and use degraded the true blue into gray.

When she travels less surreptitiously she dons a more modern kimono and yugata {?}, more oft than not some nice svelte fabric in dark, brooding colors, like black and dark purple.

However, when the occasion comes for true battle, she wears the armor of a samurai - fitted for a woman of her stature, of course. It is slim and rather thin, allowing for complete freedom of movement. That is one thing all her outfits allow; freedom.

Personality: Calm of mind and soul, Shizuka allows very little to bother her. She seems sometimes devoid of emotion, as if the ability to feel had been lost with her sight - in fact, however, she is extremely emotional, as she realizes the harsh truths of reality. She simply does a better job than most at hiding her emotions behind a veil of cold reason.

She enjoys big crowds and loud noises, and absolutely abhors silence. She also loathes stupidity, but is also merciful - she will not kill her foe if she can help it. She finds humor wherever she can to avoid the depressing weight of reality, and, more oft than not, appears extremely eccentric from her mannerisms and the things she says.

All in all, she is, by far, the perfect shinobi, able to be both obtrusive and unobtrusive, and sometimes, both at once. Her ability to discern truths through sound has left her with the wisdom of women thrice her age.

History: Born to parents equally as blind as she, her early years were spent learning how to see without seeing. She proved more adept than any other of the clan, able to discern more than even the elders of the clan. She was well-liked because of her talents, and appeared, to outsiders, as an all knowing entity. Those not of the Shitakuma harbored a deep fear of the girl with sightless eyes who heard everything. She was... unnatural.

She discovered the pleasures of the flesh at a young age, as so much of her life was seen through touch, at that point. The power to feel was a sacred one, in her eyes, and she grew to appreciate the soft, suppleness of women over the harsh angles of men.

Eventually she left the bulk of the nomadic clan to travel on her own, and it was in these travels that she first met Axcel, then just a genin of Yukigakure. She appreciated his talents and tremendous kindness - not many shinobi would help anyone, let alone a blind vagabond - but she never let on to him that she was anything more than just that - a blind vagabond. Of course, as it was he who taught her the nuances of shinobi-hood, and revealed the secrets behind their most elementary techniques, she suspected that he somehow knew she was much more than what she made herself out to be. She met him twice more afterward, whilst he was Kage, but in each instant she presented him with a different face, though her voice - faint, like the early autumn wind sweeping through drooping boughs, but strong and melodius, like a fine-tuned harp - always stayed the same.

She toured the great countries, learning the dialects of each land. She learned their ways of life, learned their likes and dislikes; learned to see underneath the underneath better than any with eyes could boast. With far more skill than the average shinobi, she made use of her prodigious talents as a mercenary, allowing her to ingratiate herself into the inner workings of various villages.

And here her true legacy begins.

Rank: S.
Skill: Taijutsu.
Effect: This specific technique is moreso an understanding of how to harness the body’s full potential while using a wide variety of polearms. Essentially, this brings out the body’s full potential while wielding the aforementioned weapons, allowing them to cleave through most mundane materials, including but not limited to: trees, boulders, and walls.
Special: --
Drawback: This certain knowledge can only be used with polearms. Furthermore, this heavily decreases the durability of the weapon in use; therefore, it is highly recommended this only be used with weapons of utmost strength (A-ranked, or S-ranked weapons). Also, this ability can only work on objects no wider than three meters, and can only be used every other swing.
Description: Having spent an incredibly long time dealing with polearms of all sorts, one eventually learns how to turn each and every strike into a deadly attack. With this knowledge of how to adjust one’s body before, during, and after the attack has been executed, the user will in turn emit a force of power unheard of. Obviously, this state of being is the user’s choice – they can cut through a tree should it be in there way, if they desire. However, this does not mean that every attack they throw out will have this potential. The user must first exert the force required to do such. The advantages of this ability are obvious (Ex. If an enemy is hiding behind a tree, the user may exert the aforementioned force to cut through both the tree and the unsuspecting opponent) and can be used to surprise, or tip the battle in the user's favor.
Limit: Must be using a polearm. Must know Tensora Sky or Bôjutsu. Must have 400TP dedicated to one of the aforementioned fighting styles. Must be a Taijutsu Master.

Description: ---
Limit: Must become a Chakra Gate User.

First Gate— Mūlādhāra [Open/Initial]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Initial Gate enables the user to push forth to 30%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .5 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 6 movements in total. (4 base movements + 2 movements for the ×.5)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Initial Gate expends 10% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Initial Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 20% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 90%.
Description: Located in the region between the genitals and the anus, the Inital Gate is the first of the Hachimontonkou. It's not rare for a shinobi who uses a good deal of taijutsu to know how to unlock this gate. This gate is usually broken in order to perform a needed devastating attack or for a temporary boost to get out of a sticky situation. However, keeping this gate unlocked for an extended period of time can put a lot of strain on the user's muscles.
The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.
"D" Rank Taijutsu have "C" Rank strength.
"C" Rank Taijutsu have "B" Rank strength.
"B" Rank Taijutsu have "A" Rank strength.
"A" Rank Taijutsu have "S" Rank strength.
"S" Rank Taijutsu gain an additional "D" rank's worth of power.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 540TP in Taijutsu techniques.

Second Gate— Svādhiṣṭhāna [Heal/Energy ]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Heal Gate enables the user to push forth to 40%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .75 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 7 movements in total. (4 base movements + 3 movements for the ×.75)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Heal Gate expends 20% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Heal Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 40% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 70%.
Description: The Heal Gate is located in the sacrum and is the second of the eight celestial gates. As any taijutsu specalist knows, battle can be dangerous, and if a shinobi is taking a beating they may choose to unlock the Heal Gate which, in turn, allows them to shrug off a good deal of damage and even make their body function better for a while.
The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.
"D" Rank Taijutsu have "C" Rank strength.
"C" Rank Taijutsu have "B" Rank strength.
"B" Rank Taijutsu have "A" Rank strength.
"A" Rank Taijutsu have "S" Rank strength.
"S" Rank Taijutsu gain an additional "D" rank's worth of power.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 580TP in Taijutsu techniques. Must unlock the Initial Gate.

Third Gate— Maṇipūra [Life]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Kinjutsu/Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Life Gate enables the user to push forth to 50%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving 1 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 8 movements in total. (4 base movements + 4 movements for the ×1)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Life Gate expends 30% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Life Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 60% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 50%.
Description: Located at the navel region, the Life Gate is the third celestial gate, and the first of the forbidden ones. The unnatural endurance granted by unlocking this gate causes the user to barely register pain, making the thought of surrender seem unfeasible, even when they are tremendously outmatched. The user even begins emitting an emerald aura composed entirely of chakra which serves as a testament to the power being unleashed. Constraints limiting the nervous system are uplifted as well, allowing information to travel to the brain at a much faster rate, and increased blood circulation provides the user with minor healing abilities. Evidence of this lies in the user's skin, which changes to a deep red tint as a result, and slight lacerations and mild bruises clear up at phenomenal rates (one turn).
The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by Two Ranks.
"D" Rank Taijutsu have "B" Rank strength.
"C" Rank Taijutsu have "A" Rank strength.
"B" Rank Taijutsu have "S" Rank strength.
"A" Rank Taijutsu have "S" Rank strength while gaining an additional "D" rank's worth of power.
"S" Rank Taijutsu gain an additional "C" rank's worth of power.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 620TP in Taijutsu techniques. Must unlock the Heal Gate.

Moving to character submissions.

You can't go into Ototon, Shitakuma AND Hyoushi as a Taijutsu Master. Seeing how the two Grand Masters allow you to go into things outside of fighting styles, you're goin' to have to drop one of those.

Fixed.

Adding my 500 tp in Raiton, when I get around to it.

D[10] x 10 = 100 tp
C[10] x 15 = 150 tp
