Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Jump Good is the skill to make Jumps or to soften a fall.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Jump good is a skill that needs no die roll. Jump Good skill determines how well the user can Jump. Without Jump Good the user can jump both vertically and horizontally up to 10 meters. All Jumps are assumed that the user is getting a running start of at least 6 meters in a straight line before Jumping. If the user does not run at least 6 meters, then the bonuses are cut in half. The Maximum Distance a user can jump is dependent on their Skill + their base Jump of 10 meters. There are no checks needed to determine if a user succeeds on a Jump, if they land prone, or any other variable. There are type Jumps calculated with Jump Good; Long Jump, and High Jump.
Long Jump: A long jump is a horizontal jump. At mid-point of the jump, the user attains a vertical height equal to 1-quarter of the horizontal distance. For every 5 Skill Points the user has in Jump Good they add +2 meters to their Base Jump. Example: If the user has 43 Skill points in Jump Good, their long jump will be 26 meters.
High Jump: A high jump is a vertical leap made to reach a ledge high above, or reach a vertical height. For every 5 Skill Points the user has in Jump Good they add +1 meters to their Base Jump. Example: If the user has 43 Skill Points in Jump Good, their high jump is 18 meters. Falling: When the user deliberately falls a distance, the Jump Good skill can be used to increase the length of falling. Base Falling distance is 10 meters. For every 5 Skill Points the user has in Jump Good they add +2 meters to their Base Fall distance. Example: If the user has 43 Skill Points in Jump Good, they can fall at a distance of 26 meters without consequences.
High Water Jump: Normally Jumps incur a -50 penalty when making a high jump out of water.
Limit: Must learn from Universal TaiJutsu.

    Osoroshi needs to improve his Jump Good technique. "I don't even know how to jump too good. Hmm... I need to do some research." After a couple of hours, Osoroshi went to the outskirts of the village when no one was around. "First, I need to work on my long jump,". He starts from one tree to another, running. He must've completed 30 full turns. The distance isn't too long, but the main focus was long strides. "Okay, now to work on the jump,". Osoroshi goes to a larger gap and starts moving his legs. Almost 12 / 24 meters into the run, he makes his first bound. Four meters into the long jump, Osoroshi has already reached his peak, and falls to his glutes with no form. "Ouch. Still, I have to get better,". He gets back up and approaches the other side with speed, but only having about 2 more meters of gain, and sticking his hands down so he didn't get the feeling of sticks on his cheeks again. "Hmm. Maybe I should try leaning back so I can stick my legs out farther!". He starts on the final attempt and leans back while on the descent from his peak and hits his head on the ground. "Oof! That didn't work like I hoped. Still, I made good progress."
    "Okay, now to work on my high jump. I always wanted to be able to jump into the branches of a tree," and that he strived for. Osoroshi ran toward a tree and shot his arms straight up as he reached for the branches. He left the ground about 10 meters between his feet and the ground. When he hit the dirt and grassy terrain, he stumbled forward but caught himself on the trunk of the tree in front of him. "One more try, I almost had it!". He sprinted forward and shot up, once again shooting his arm up with ferocity. He got up to 12 meters. "YES! I think I'm getting it."
    He had only his high water jump to work on, but how he was going to train it was a challenge in itself. He had an idea. "That's enough layers for now!" After returning home, Osoroshi equipped every article of clothing he could find. He ran into the shower to get him self soaking wet, just to add the weight of the water to his clothes. "This should be like the real thing!" *He went back to the outsides of the village and tried to jump up to branches. Keyword, tried. He could barely get off the ground. "Gnh, c'mon!". Thirty minutes later, try as he did, he could barely come more than six inches off the grass. "I'm done for now. I've used all my energy and I'm not gonna get that far today. Still though, I think I did good."

[Osoroshi Tachibana]

(22 / 125)

    Osoroshi went to the library and studied the parts of a jump. He found out that when running he should lean his body forward instead of back, and when he jumps he should try to keep his leg straight. So, that's exactly what he tried. Osoroshi left off and jumped in the air, and at the peak of his jump he was about seven meters in. He hit the ground at about 15 meters length which is not his personal best, but since he was trying out a new technique he figured he should give it a couple attempts. After a couple fails he decided to try again still failed so he didn't realize what he was doing wrong. On another jump he jumped in the air and realized that his body was flying back the whole time whenever he jumped for even if he was keeping his body straight and he figured that he should maintain the position the whole time, and stop leaving his form. So after another attempt, he got up to 16 meters, then 17 meters, then 18 meters, and finally 19 meters. He had reached his goal he surpassed his previously set limits and he figured that it was ready for him to move on to the next technique.

    Osoroshi had figured it was time to work on his high jump again. Being the Class A idiot he is, Osoroshi forgot to read up on the parts of a high jump and just looked at the long jump section in his book and wasn't willing to go back to the library. He lined up with the tree side-by-side, not directly in front of the tree like last time, to keep himself from getting hurt, and ran at with the same ability as the long jump and jumped into the air.  Although he got a little higher he figured he was still doing something wrong, as he wasn't seeing much of an improvement rather about the same values of each jump 13-ish meters give or take. So he thought to himself, "When I long jump I have to put my legs up in the air, not just leave them hanging. So when I get to the tree, I should try keeping my arms tight and pushing them up,". Osoroshi charged full force at the tree, hopped into the air keeping his arms tight while swinging them up, and just as he thought he improved on his high jump as well. His improvement was short-lived as he wasn't able to really get past the 18 meter mark. It was sort of as if he had soft cap, and he figured that he probably should have done more research before he started training. At the last jump he decided to stand at the base of the tree and do a standing jump. He got just one meter under the running jump, so he figured that he might be wasting viable energy with a run when he could just jump straight from the ground into the air. He was sure to write that down in his noted for his next training session.

    The last part of his training finally started; the water high jump. Osoroshi decided that instead of getting soaked, he should try and improve the intensity of his jumps by wearing out his legs. He thought that it wasn't the weight holding you down in the water specifically, but the stress the water has on your legs when you try to jump out of it, and the force keeping you down. He partook in a variety of exercises such as squats, high jumps, up and downs, burpees, and mountain climbers to increase his muscular strength and endurance in his thighs, upper calves, and glutes. His final part of training his high water jump was to simply, walk up to the tree do a high jump on one leg take the other foot and kick off the bark. He figured that if he gets used to having it having an extra force when he jumps, he will have an extra boost when trying to jump out of water. He finished his day having an awesome success, and he knew that he was going to get to the result that he needed.

#3 Jump Good (28 / 125)
Able Learner = 2 dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: About 3 O'clock. Outside the mist village, before a field of trees and other foliage.

Osoroshi was bored with jumping for practice, but he knew he had to keep going if he was gonna get anywhere with this technique. He'd already realized he could jump higher than most, but what is the limit to his ability? How high can I get off my vertical? Osoroshi stood and started his jump squat. Right before his knees began to descend too low, he jumped up with all his power. Jump after jump, he was able to hook the branch above his head. On his last jump he flew past the branch and came back down full force. He grabbed the tip of the 'y' shaped stick, and it broke off as he fell to the ground. He repeats his jumps and keeps on going throughout the afternoon. Of course his last jump is a fail and a fall, but also a realization of all the work he's done.

After returning to the ground, Osoroshi decided to call it a day.

#4 Jump Good (? / 125)
Able Learner = 2 Dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: About 7 O'clock. On the mist rooftops, on a 78 degree, dry day. The birds have already flown by and the more mature inhabitants of the village are already starting their day. Osoroshi is tying down his headband before he starts his training.

Osoroshi would run from one ledge to another, jumping across with struggle, barely making each jump. Today's training was different, as he'd invested in ankle weights. 20KG on each ankle hold him down. He has to get used to the weight, as his in-comfortableness is slowly killing his technique. With each jump came a sense of security that he would make the jump, but the reassurance that the more he jumped the farther he went. And the results from his thought process was showing. On the farther jumps, he rolled after he landed to secure himself from injury. Into the late night, he appeared to be a legend of a fabled ninja, who displays his silhouette to the world who chooses to spot the moon.

At about 11 O'clock, Osoroshi was done training, as he was content with his progress.

#5 Jump Good (? / 125)
Able Learner = 2 Dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: About 10 O'clock AM, in front of the mountains that invade the back of the village.

Osoroshi stands atop the walls which separate the city from the large cluster of rocks the citizens observe everyday. Osoroshi would practice his standing long jumps. He bound from one ledge to another. He would extend his jumps along straight ways. A few times, he fell off, but it wasn't a hold back to Osoroshi, as his jumps got good enough to the point where he could jump back with no struggle. The most hold back he had was with his heavier, 25KG weights, but still, it wasn't much. But the were too lose and thus more uncomfortable than they should've been. Other ninjas observe his effort, and some elders take joy and seeing the young ones get out of the house!

A couple hours later, Osoroshi felt the sun beat on his skin, and the rays rose and started to give him a slight sun burn. Training for the day was over.

#6 Jump Good (? / 125)
Able Learner = 2 Dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: About 5 O'clock. Outside the mist village, in front of a field of trees and bushes.

Osoroshi starts off his training session by jumping onto a sturdy branch. Osoroshi would jump from branch to branch to branch, working his way to the top. When he reaches the peak of the tree, he hopped his way down and onto the next overgrown plant in his way. His movement is sub-fluent. There are stutters in his feet. He nicks a branch every so often. He almost hanged himself by the collar of his shirt by falling through the branches. Even so, Osoroshi kept pushing forward. His new and improves 35KG ankle weights keep him at bay. He's wants to take them off so much but he won't. He noticed that it was easier to get closer to the trunk because the branch wouldn't thin out of the plant. His jumps were somewhat concise, and after trying to stick to the bark.

Around sunset, about 8:15 PM, Osoroshi decided to finish his training.

#7 Jump Good (? / 125)
Able Learner = 2 Dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: 2 O'clock in the mountains behind the village.

Osoroshi starts by jumping from one foot to the other, up and down mountains. He gets caught be the steepness of the mountain every time, but that's beyond his control. He tries to jump between the caps of the small mountains but never exactly reaches the tip of the next peak. Finally, he repeatedly long jumps from the base of the mountains toward the village until he finally reaches the wall. These laps are the best way to increase his leg strength, even if he knows his legs can barely handle it. Coupled with his 35KG ankle weights, he feels like a slug stuck to the pavement on a summer day. It's like he's as slow as a turtle with two legs. But, these training regimens are what make people fly around like an eagle after its prey.

Osoroshi decides to finish his training because of his exhaustion.

#8 Jump Good (? / 125)
Able Learner = 2 Dice Rolls
Class D (+2 TP)

Setting: 9:30 in the gym located in the village.

    After a long hiatus, Osoroshi decides to continue training. Back to the old grind, he states. Time for some good ol' gym training.  After changing into some gym shorts (A pair of elastic waist-banded shorts with a camo pattern of a neon yellowish-green, two tones of grey, and black), Osoroshi went down to the soft padded room adjacent to the lifting room. Closing the red and metal door behind him, he was ready to work. He looked at the bead jump ropes, laying on the tiled section of the room, under the mop and fan. Am I going to get warmed up with jump rope or a jog?
    Osoroshi picked up the rope and started to jump. He was still getting used to his 35kg ankle weights. After a brisk warm up. The hops began. The walls at the end of the room had a red padding on them, right under a basketball scoreboard. He starting jumping, making sure he got the perfect form by bending his knees to a ninety degrees angle, making sure he swung his arm so that his wrist were in level with his knees, and keeping his chest up, all while making sure his knee caps did not surpass the edge of his feet in distance away from his abdomen. His technique was improving despite being the first time he'd trained in six months.
    
I think a quick sprint will make it a day. A quick run howeveer, turn into a slow, long jog. Before Osoroshi knew it, he had jogged for an hour. Sweat dripping from every pore of his body, to the pavement outside of the gym, Osoroshi left the building and ended his training.
