He possesses a strong body, and he generally likes to flaunt it by wearing very little on top. [/indent] [u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS[/b][/u] [indent] Cocky, arrogant Lecherous Quick Witted [/indent] [u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION[/b][/u] Born in Stockholm sweden to a Japanese mother, he never fully felt at home in sweden. Despite being a melting pot, Stockholm never really agreed with him as a person. He had a hard time fitting in with the others and fell into bad company. After he got busted breaking into a car, his mother sent him to live with his grand parents. Turned out his Grand Parents were pretty peculiar. In fact, apparently his Grandmother was a the leader of a sect of demon hunters called the “Radiant Eye”. Ben, finding this to be just what he had always missed in life, threw himself at the chance to fulfill his “Destiny”. However, he was a thug, a arrogant, cocky, undisciplined child. And his Grand Parents teachings were long and complicated. It didn’t sit well with him who only wanted to become a badass hunter. And, Such did the dice fall, that he would get his chance. When a couple of demons arrived at the family doorstep, intent of taking down his Grandmother who they called the “Bushi-Ona”, Takio was desperate to help. Having already picked the lock to the armory many times before, he lay his hands on a very strange variant of the Kusarigama. The weapon seemed to draw him in. The Chain weapon he found, was unwieldy but powerful. He managed to clobber and tangle one of the demons while his Grandmother dispatched the other one. However, she was furious that he had broken in and stolen a weapon for himself. Especially since the weapon, that had an axe instead of a sickle, was a sacred weapons that bound itself to the wielders soul. She had no choice but to train the kid properly now. The last 5 years, he has been non-stop practicing, completely consumed by the task of getting stronger. That is, until the Nomads show up in Japan. [h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE[/b][/u] [indent]Takai’s fighting style is all about distance and overwhelming the opponent. His axe allows him to cut and chop if people get to close, but his main techniques all hinge on the use of his massive reach. The Style itself is simple referred to as Chēn no arashi or Chain Storm. Its a fluid and fast style, with many sweeping, violent swings, the pendulum of the chains making it so that he is always moving. In a way, its like a dances, his position always shifting with every pass of the chain overhead or at his side. When ever he channels his ki, the chain glows a dark blue. . [/indent] [u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES[/b][/u] [indent][indent][u]■ Kaze:[/u] Thee bread and butter of his moves is a simple upwards swing with chain that loops around into a six sweep combo alternating direction as he swings it around. Very usefully to create distance. Also sets up for other moves. [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][u]■ Kurai Kaze.[/u][/indent][/indent] “The Dark Wind” is a follow up attack that that smashes downwards at a hard to dodge angle, if hit, the weight on the end of the chain wraps around whatever limb it hit. It drains the opponent of strength VERY slowly. [indent][indent][u]■ Sukurīmingu-fū:[/u] Chanelling ki trough the chains, they spin so fast it produces slashing winds that cut flesh. Four projectiles in a row that he can be spread out about 20 degrees with each swing. [/indent][/indent] [indent][u]■ Kōtai suīpu[/u] Swinging the chain around quickly skipping nad dashing backwards, it is his primary tool of disengage [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][u]■ Tetsu no hebi[/u] Channeling ki trough the chain, he tosses the weight forward like a snake winding up and striking. It if hits, it stuns the enemy briefly. [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][u]■ Berserker Bash[/u] A very simple, ki channeling chop with the axe part of the weapon. If hit, the blade soaks some of the blood in. [/indent][/indent] [indent][indent][u]■ Hagane no kaze [/u] Swinging it around him at blistering speed while channeling ki trough the chains, he can deflect many basic projectiles. [/indent][/indent] [u][b]SUPER MOVES[/b][/u] [indent] [u]■ Amanokaze [/u] Swirling he schain gracefully in large half circles, as he does he slowly heals damage he has taken while dealing a fair bit of damage to anyone who gets within his reach. [indent[/indent] [indent] [u]■ Tashika ni Kuro: Gahenna no Kaze [/u] (Can only be used if the weapon has “Fed” enough from Berserker Bash or Kurai Kaze.) Takio starts to swing the axe part of his weapon around his head in a small circle at first that the grow as he uses it with the chain rather then the weight. Black flames appear all around him before he starts spinning and moving, creating a large area of spinning, fiery chain. Deals massive damaage to anyone hit and knocks them away. [indent] [/indent][/indent] [u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS[/b][/u] [indent]Combat Weakness: While his range is great, he suffers from reliable close combat offence. Also, every attack has a fair amount of of windup and long chains can only travel in so many angles and directions. [/indent] [h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr] [indent][indent]The weapon isn't sentient, but it does influence him to become more vicious in combat.[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [hider=Victory Quotes] "The Winds of Victory carry me forward” (Generic) "I like your style!"
