Nights of dreamless sleeps and sleepless dreams wore at her confidence, at her faith in herself, until her soul was exposed to the elements that govern the realms of body and mind. For most, an exposed soul leads to trepidation, and to doubt, and eventually to the great sleep - but not for Touho. Touho persisted, despite her exposed soul, and faith brought her back from the darkest place she had ever been in. It has been said, all too often, that once you reach rock bottom there is only one way to go - up. From the depths of despair did Touho rise, opening herself fully and truly to Fuujin, and she prospered. Windspeaker Touho was never particularly determined or passionate in her youth - days would sail by, and she would sail by with them, idly waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen to her. She had daydreams of fantastical adventures, of a higher purpose, and occasionally of what life could have been like if she had taken a different path. For one who dwells in the dark recesses of the idle mind, the light can become hard to bear, and so did Touho retreat further into the depths of imagination. For the longest time she was stuck there, waiting for something to bring her unrealistic dreams to fruition, until before she realised it she was living her life inside a dream, only waking when she retreated deep into slumber and imagination. Truth is a light that reveals everything - for better or for worse - and for one so used to the darkness the truth can be unwelcome. The truth offers no comfort, only the harsh gaze of reality, and Touho was used to nothing but comfort for most of her younger life. When shown the path, confronted with the great light, it seems like the best thing to do is retreat, and retreat Touho did until she was back in the comfort of the dark. Change rarely comes easily, but despite her initial apprehension Touho soon begun to see sense, to see the illusions that she had wrapped herself in for what they were, and turned to the light with her exposed soul. The light changed her, not because she saw some grand truth and was stricken by epiphany, but because her very soul was exposed to the universal truth - and at that moment she truly began to believe. After that, Touho had a life of purpose. She was a Windspeaker, one committed thoroughly to Fuujin, and she used her newfound faith to give herself purpose. She is dedicated to her path, and she knows full well that she cannot retreat into the dark like she did as a child. This inner strength has shown itself multiple times, allowing her to make decisions that weaker beings would falter at, and allowing her to live full well with the consequences of her actions. Perhaps it could be said that she has little appreciation for life or anything she does not deem holy; that may well be true, but it gives her the strength to do what she feels she must, and her convictions are true enough to justify her actions - at least, they are to her and to Fuujin. Touho is polite, well-spoken, and above all else kind. She may not have suffered the awful fates of some, but she knows that only chance spared her from such things and she shows the compassion and mercy towards the broken and less fortunate people that she feels they deserve. She looks after the lessermost people under her care, and through everything cares for them as much as she cares for herself. Certain values are expected of those who claim to be closest to any deity, and Touho delivers fully on these expectations. She is not kind for fear of damnation, or for any corrupt reason, she is kind because she sees herself a hundred thousand times over whenever she looks at anybody less fortunate than herself, and she would never wish the fate of the less fortunate on anybody because she knows how close she was to becoming one of those people. There are few truly good souls in the world. Most are marred by imperfection and sin, and even those that claim to be truly golden hide behind a thin veneer of hubris. Perhaps Windspeaker Touho is one of these truly good souls - or perhaps she is not. She does not know, and for the most part, she does not care. Windspeaker Touho burdens herself only with her god and with her people - and for her people, there is no decision so hard that she cannot make it. Brutality and lack of emotion may enter into her heart, for a time, if a situation demands it - but above all else she cares for her people. Everything she does is for their wellbeing, and for the prosperity of her god. If this does not make her a truly good soul, then she is not a truly good soul - and at the end of the day, she cares little for titles.[/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]History[/U]】 [I]"Until Fuujin found me, all I knew was hunger. I hungered not only for food, but for purpose, for a reason to go on. Now I have found that reason - or, more accurately - that reason has found me." - Windspeaker Touho The woman known as Windspeaker Touho started out life as an orphan, her father dead before her birth and her mother dead giving birth to her. In Shimogakure, this was not necessarily an uncommon fate. There were two major paths for an orphan in Shimogakure - to go to an orphanage, where you would be beated, mistreated, and probably dead within five years... Or to go to the Temple of Fuujin, to be raised as an acolyte, and to be given purpose. Few were given the luxury of the Temple's life, but Windspeaker Touho was chosen - it was said that there was a presence about her that made the priestesses think of Fuujin, and in that respect she was worthy to join the temple. Touho's early life - or what she remembers of it - was a mixture of chores, scriptures, and more chores. Life was not easy, but every day she ate well and she was kept warm, which was not a feat that all of the inhabitants of Shimogakure could boast. She felt content with her simple life. Days rolled by and as soon as Touho reached the correct age, she was trained in the arts of the Ninja, that she might serve her new god better. At this point, Touho was an arrogant teenager, and she thought she knew everything. She began to doubt that Fuujin even existed, lost faith in the scriptures she had been taught, and rebelled against the system that had spared her from death. One night, after a particularly intense day of training, Touho found herself at the altar to Fuujin, questioning why she had been put on this path. She must have made some noise, for the revered priestess heard her, and she came over to comfort the young Touho. She explained that Fuujin's winds crossed many paths, and that while the current state of affairs may have seemed bleak, it was just a point on the journey leading Touho to her absolute destination. All she could think was that the revered priestess was full of herself. Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fuujin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fuujin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Around when Touho was nineteen, the invasion of Shimogakure began in order to cut Kumogakure off from the path of the Bijuu's destruction. The temple of Fuujin was left intact, and none inside were harmed, but Touho could not stand idly by while the rest of her townspeople suffered. She sought to repel the invasion, to single-handedly fight off the forces of an entire village, but she was quickly overwhelmed and taken as hostage. Following brief negotiations, Touho was released back to the temple and Kumogakure took over the land of Frost entirely, beginning the construction of their wall and the assimilation of the land into the Land of Lightning. Touho hated her oppressors with all of her heart, and begged Fuujin for the power to take back their land, but her prayers fell on deaf ears. She resolved not to lose faith, to see that Fuujin wanted her to prove herself through her own merits, not through divine intervention, and to overthrow the oppression that had dawned upon her. In Kumogakure proper, Touho met Akaritori, a foreign swordswoman who spoke for justice, and the two conspired to plan murder most foul. Akaritori, despite being a nonbeliever, understood Touho's convictions and helped her understand that justice was justice, regardless of whether or not it was in the name of a deity or within the name of a person. All that mattered was that past wrongdoings were rectified - and for once, Touho agreed. Thus began the coup of Kumogakure that was. Since then, Touho installed an even larger temple to Fuujin in Yamagakure, and proclaimed herself Windspeaker, leader of the Military arm of the temple, and joint Kage with her close ally Akaritori.[/I] [IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/2h5tkk2.png[/IMG] 【[U]Chakra Nature(s)[/U]】 [I]Fuuton; Hyouton[/I] 【[U]Weapons/Tools[/U]】 [I]Generic Tools in Surplus[/I] 【[U]Other Specialties[/U]】 [I]Windspeaker Touho is incredibly adept at both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.[/I] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]Kekkei Genkai[/U]】 [I][b]Name:[/b] [url= http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Ice_Release]Hyōton[/url] [b]Type:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Clan (If Applicable):[/b] N/A [b]Description:[/b] Ice release.[/i] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/DN3p4.png[/IMG] 【[U]Canon Jutsu[/U]】 Basic Academy Techniques 【[U]Custom Jutsu[/U]】 [b]Name of Technique:[/b] Megumi no Fuujin [Grace of the Wind God] [b]Type of Jutsu:[/b] Ninjutsu [b]Rank:[/b] A [b]Range:[/b] Personal [b]Nature Type:[/b] Fuuton [b]Symbols of Fuujin:[/b] 1 [b]Description:[/b] By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fuujin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fuuton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly. In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fuujin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms. These symbols are visible in the air around Touho. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.

The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fuujin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fuujin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. If an object moves against the gust, it is afflicted with a great deal of air resistance that slows it vastly. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fuujin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds, and Windspeaker Touho cannot use offensive techniques for the duration that the Sanctuary is active. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.

Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Wind_Release:_Pressure_Damage]Fūton: Atsugai[/url] at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of ten feet and increasing to twenty five as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away. The explosion reaches its maximum range after a delay of a second. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fuujin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course. The gale is ten feet long and five feet wide. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.

Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included). [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu. The storm will last for three minutes before dissipating. If Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate is used, it will add three minutes to the duration of the storm. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Two seconds after the ring has passed through a physical object, it is completely coated in ice and begins to sink into a deep freeze. Totzusen no Akishimo will completely disable all machinery that it affects. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself. [/center][/hider]
