Was thinking of a defensive skill, a taunt, and a self-buff skill, myself. Probably like a shield technique that destabilizes the opponent when they attack, a projection of killing intent that draws the focus and attention of enemies around her (especially the one that she maintains eye contact with), and then some mantra spoken that improves her own stamina/endurance and focus through breathing techniques and self-hypnosis.

Oh right, what sort of equipment do we have on us? Just generic newbie stuff, or would it vary depending on background and such?
