[b]Plot Summary of Original content/Backstory:[/b] (Based off Naruto, Bleach, and many over Samurai Anime) For centuries, the Inumi and the Neko have been at war. Nobody knows why the war was started originally but it is a war that has gone on for far too long. It was the Inumi, the war raging race that started the war on the peaceful Neko, all they want to do is want to make peace, and make a truce. Inumi are known to train children as young as five years old to fight, and are forced to join the war when they are old enough. Ming was one of these children. At a very young age she was given her first Kendo stick. She was then trained viciously like all children. The training is harsh, children never come out unmarked. It is the first lesson they all have to learn. If you cannot defend yourself you will suffer and eventually, die. Ming learned this quickly. As she reached the age of six years she was able to defend herself quite well. She kept showing improvements and was naturally skilled with the way of the sword. However, she didn't like the style of a single sword. Normally children of war don't choose their weapon style until age ten but Ming was different. She knew exactly what she wanted. She chose the sword and shield and began to train in that style. She improved quickly, blocking and counter attacking. By the time she reached age ten she was at the top of her class. She was moved to an advanced class specifically for those who would fair well on the front lines of the war and to teach them advanced moves and techniues, because of this Ming began learning the Way of the Samurai at age Eleven, one year earlier than normal. The Way of the Samurai included the Laws of the Samurai and the Samurai Arts. It took Ming a while to understand the Samurai Arts and she had to keep trying to get the basic idea of them. at the age of thirteen Ming was getting the general idea of the Samurai Arts and was able to preform the most basic of Samurai Arts. Everyone was impressed with how quickly she was improving. She continued to train and learn the Samurai Arts as she grew older. With being so many, it wasn't until she reached the age of seventeen that Ming was able to learn all the Samurai Arts. At this point, she was ready for war. Ming went out to the front lines and joined the first squadrant. It was here that her skills really showed as she fought attack the Nekos who were known for their sheer magic power. By age Eighteen Ming proved herself to become leader of her own squadrant. She used her combat experience to win battles, she came up with unique strategy that surprised the enemy and allowed victory in several battles but the war wasn't won yet. When she reached the age of nineteen she was made the leader of the Royal Army due to her leadership skills and her war strategy. Ming came close several times in ending the war, almost killing Prince Kuro, leader of the Neko Army. Technically he was King but by Neko Law, he was too young to be named King. Until he aged old enough Yoruichi, a genius pet cat who was gifted Kuro's magic power advised him.

There are hundreds of Samurai Arts. So I will list the more Powerful Samurai Arts, and the more commonly used ones. Note, when a Samurai Art is being used, one must say by Samurai Law, Samurai Art: (Enter Name here) I'll separate to commonly used to powerful

[b]Commonly Used[/b]

Samurai Art: Eclipsal Night, this is just a simple art where the user creates a illusion of a solar eclipse for a few short minutes.

Samurai Art: Hero Slayer, this uses the moon's power to enchant the sword specifically to kill those whose morals are good.

Samurai Art: Villain Slayer, same as above, but this is using the sun's power. Only one can be used at a time. 

Samurai Art: Falling Rain, it simply makes rain fall. Nothing more.

Samurai Art: Portal Jump, this allows the user to cut through the fabric of space to create a portal to a location that they wish. If any physical matter such as other people or swords get in the way, the portal is not created.

Samurai Art: Wall Hollow, this allows the user to phase through walls, as well as allowing attacks to phase through walls.

[b]Forbidden Arts and Powerful Samurai Arts[/b]

Samurai Art: Raindrop Barrage, sometimes called Raindrop Strike. Allows the user to fuse with the raindrops, jumping from raindrop to raindrop. This is commonly used alongside with Falling Rain.

Samurai Art: Thousand Strikes/Shards. There are two versions of this. Thousand Strikes will create a thousand swords, including the original to attack a group or a single target of enemies. However, Thousand Shards will spilt the current weapon into a thousand sword sharps, these are quicker, more agile and faster than the swords of Thousand Strikes.

Samurai Art: Red Target, it places a target on the enemy, it hits as long as the sword is faced towards the enemy. It forces all attacks to be  automatically aimed at the target, the red target basically allows attacks to hone in on the current target. However, if Red Target is used on two separate targets, it literally becomes useless. All range attacks fail.

Forbidden Samurai Art: Soul Link, this allows the user to connect their souls with each other. This means any damage done to the user would be split in half and go to the enemy, any damage done to the enemy be split in half and go to the user.
