Flash Sword Style

The Flash Sword Style (閃剣流, Senken-ryū)is an extremely devastating form of swordsmanship that can only be used by certain devoted practitioners, some of the most notable hailing from the Antares Clan.

Description: The Flash Sword Style is an extremely dynamic form of combat, as suggested by the name of the style itself. It revolves around the concept of flash, and therefore primarily requires an enormous amount of speed and skill in order to initiate within any combat situation. While the general expression of one's Flash Sword Style is based on their own interpretation of the fighting style, at the core lies a single philosophy: "a flash is not born from a single light, but thousands strung together as bright as the sun." And truthfully, that is how the style functions. Rather than utilizing singular hits to create an enormous amount of damage, the user concentrates their efforts in the build up of damage over an extensive period of time. Therefore, they are able to cause their opponent's stamina to be winded down significantly while also causing them to be in severe pain from the constant slashes that are placed upon them. The style almost appears sadistic when viewed by other individuals, in that the constant pain brought about through non-fatal slashes would normally be associated with a sociopath.

The style's basis derives from the relatively common Iaidō and Battōjutsu forms of combat. It uses high-speed movements from the drawing of the blade in order to completely eviscerate an enemy's chance of victory. However, rather than being fatal in nature, it is used primarily as a means to deter the enemy from their decisions to engage in combat. This is achieved through the sadistic nature of the combat form, which in turn is supposed to cause a realization in the enemy that they are inevitably going to be overpowered regardless of what they do. In part with this derivation from Iaidō and Battōjutsu, anybody who utilizes this form of combat is generally attuned to the use of high-speed unsheathing and sheathing techniques.

Training

As one would expect from such a consuming form of combat, the Flash Sword requires extreme dedication and training in order to successfully master its various nuances and individualize it to one's own preference. Unlike the majority of styles that solely require physical training, the Flash Sword also has compulsory mental conditioning as a part of its regime, giving the individuals a mentality in order to sustain and follow the principles of the Flash Sword when it is being executed within combat.

Mental Training

The Mental Training (内的執行, Naiteki Shugyō) is the first aspect that students train in as a means to epitomize their combat abilities instead of simply being physically dominant. The advanced mental faculties are generally relevant to the speed and efficiency of the style.

• Observation (着眼 Chakugan) to observe an enemy's every movement is the core essence of the Flash Sword. For to land a hit one must be knowledgeable on where his enemy lie. The user gains keen training in observation via the enhancement of their natural Five Senses to the point where they are considered on the verge of "superhuman". This allows them to be able to keep up with virtually any opponent only with their natural abilities. In rare cases, there are some surpass this amazing observational skill by leagues, to the point where nothing can be missed from their six senses.
• Exploitation (開発 Kaihatsu) to exploit an enemy's weakness and take advantage of it. Flash Sword pupils are trained extensively to exploit weaknesses that come to their light, utilizing appropriate and devastating counters to destroy their opponents. However, this takes keen sensory along with enhanced feats of physical strength, making it the reason why an all-around training is so important.
• Manipulation (操縦 Sōjū) to manipulate one's own strengths and an enemy's weakness is the art that very few are able to achieve. Through keen intellect and subsequent amounts of training, one is able to overwhelm their opponent through simple movements merely by counter-acting every one of their attacks with an appropriate response. An immense amount of focus and sheer experience is needed to master this art.

Physical Training

Physical Training (物的執行, Butteki Shugyō) A practitioner begins to take their physical training once mental training is complete. It involves an extremely strict resume of exercises that create an overall very well-rounded body, both in physique and subtlety. Ironically, despite Flash Sword being a style of swordsmanship, the practitioner/apprentice's swordsmanship is not trained by another individual, as refining one's own art cannot be done with assistance from another, despite how much one tries, they may not interfere.

• Speed: The most important aspect of one's physical training. Flash Sword emphasizes on immense speeds. As such, the first and foremost training is given to one's speed. Instructors are instructed to give an immense burden to their students, such a burden that plunges all but the strongest of light. Essentially, this "burden" are a pair of extremely dense weights. With these weights, the apprentice must perform daily chores, and various other activities in order for one's lower body to run on willpower alone. Achieving this, the instructor may be able to take these weights on and immediately gives the apprentice a test. To be able to catch the instructor off-guard, using their newly attained speed to do so. If achieved, the training progresses onto its next stage. If not, then one must resume this training, once more.
• Stamina: A very important aspect of one's physical training. Due to the immense levels of speed one achieves through speed training, stamina is equal, if not, more important in order to be able to prolong the use of such speed. Done through various light exercises that progressively become heavier in order to achieve the desired effects required for this style.
• Strength and Durability: To inflict damage and take damage. Although important, these aspects can usually be overlooked by most due to the style not relying on individual techniques, but a culmination of multiple strikes. However, an increase of strength and durability may be done in many ways, most of which are up to the instructor themselves.

  Ull'Yang realises he is a long distance away from the other gods. He collects a lot of his energy into a single point which explodes, shooting Ull'Yang's essence towards the planet Galbar. Crashes on the Shattered Plains of Vestec, creating a big crater in his wake. Traverses the Shattered Plains and the mountain ranges to reach Deepwood. Enters the forest of Deepwood. After walking for some time, he find a clearing and rests his Avatar. His consciousness returns back to his true body where he notices space debris that were colliding with each other. A sudden idea flashes in his mind...

  As Ull'Yang enters the fourth cycle of rebirth, he remembers his travels across Galbar with his Avatar and the events that happened during that time. Ull'Yang finds an extraordinarily tall volcano. Names it Mount Borhmanven and signals Teknall to come take a look.
  
  Ull'Yang asks Teknall to build a weapon for his Avatar. Teknall builds a staff of mithral, imbued with potent magics, and gives it to Ull'Yang. Teknall decides he wants a star as payment. Teknall and Yang'Ze ascend the volcano and meet Jvan's messenger. They are delighted to hear about the Hain. Teknall goes to Ull'Yang's true location and opens a rift to his currently formless personal plane. Ull'Yang creates a red dwarf within Teknall's plane.
  
  After Teknall received his payment of a star and departed, Ull'Yang had his Avatar travel to Deepwood and stay there, leaving behind a portion of his consciousness. As he was thinking about creating a demi-plane of his own, Vowzra makes his presence known and offers Ull'Yang some words of encouragement but leaves before Ull'Yang could have the opportunity to thank him.
  
  Ull'Yang proceeds to create a body from his divine essence, within which he plugs his true form and uses it as a means to interact with his immediate surroundings. From the rocks and space debris that were orbiting around him, he creates a comet, infuses it with a strand of his essence and, after making sure that the comet would not hit the planet, hurls it at the general direction of Galbar.
  
  He then tore a rift in the fabric of space-time and entered his own personal plane that is currently empty and devoid of anything.

Domain (Portfolio): Cosmic (Stars)
Domain (Portfolio) Description:
The universe is composed mostly of empty space. But this space is occasionally populated by an amazing assortment of incredible objects. These objects create an orderly, harmonious system known as the cosmos. Solar systems consisting of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets that circle a central star in an orbital dance that has been going on for billions of years are but one of the many things one can find while traversing the cosmos. As we move farther away into deep space, we encounter exotic objects with bizarre properties. Pulsars and Quasars shine with the energy of millions of stars. Neutron stars and black holes distort the very reality of space-time itself. And somewhere out there, a mysterious substance known as dark matter composes as much as 90% of the known universe.

Stars are cosmic energy engines that produce heat, light and other forms of radiation. They are composed largely of gas and plasma, a superheated state of matter composed of subatomic particles. These stars are precisely the sources of fuel that keeps life "alive." They bring light and warmth, make plants grow, helps us wake, explore, work, create. They are the bright lights in the night sky, guiding, helping and showing the way to the lost and weary traveler. Gods of the Sun and Moon are associated with law, arts, the mind, justice, protection, inspiration, all the things that make up the best part of being human. By light we can see the world; by extension, light lets us confront evil and destroy it, both within and without ourselves.

The stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they are watching us.

However, Light and it's opposite, Darkness, are both oversimplified metaphors for Good and Evil, not truly synonymous terms. Looking at the matter rationally, too much sunlight causes burns, sunstroke, skin cancer, and drought, which is bad; whereas nightfall and sufficient shade provide relief and rest, which is good. Both powers play a key role in maintaining a perfect balance, and without them, the universe would quickly wither into oblivion.

Stellar Evolution

Ull'Yang is the Primordial Star, the first star ever born into the new Universe formed by its gods. Albeit having come into existence before the creation of the Universe, he was but an empty husk, a shadow of his true self. Following the Big Bang but right before galaxies/stars and the like were formed, he underwent a dramatic change. He exploded into a brilliant and majestic hypernova, signifying the start of the endless cycle of birth, maturation, death and rebirth of the stars, essentially kick-starting the engines of the unfathomable machine that is, the Universe. Due to this, Ull'Yang's existence is deeply rooted in the Universe, forming a nigh-unbreakable link between him and all of the stars that ever were, are and will be.

• Stellar Evolution and Rebirth

  STAGES OF THE REBIRTH CYCLE
  HIBERNATION STAGE or BIRTH
  
  • Nebula
  • Dust Cloud
  • Globule
  • Protostar
  • Brown Dwarf

  The above 5 sub-stages are the beginning stages of the birth of a star. During these stages, Ull'Yang is unconscious, essentially hibernating. The duration of these stages takes up a fraction of the time of 1 cycle, merely a tenth of it. The process is automatic and thus, Ull'Yang and by extension any other god excluding the Creators, cannot alter it in any way or form. Following the hibernation stage or birth, comes the stability stage or maturation.
  

  STABILTY STAGE or MATURATION
  
  • Main Sequence Star (abbr. MSS)
  • Red Giant

  Entering the stability stage, Ull'Yang awakens from his hibernation and is able to exert and utilise his powers to their fullest. The stability stage takes up all of the other 90% of the time of 1 rebirth cycle. Come the end of this stageŽ· Ull'Yang, now a Red Giant, has to expend Might Points in order to induce a supernova on himself. Through the process of the supernova, the rebirth cycle starts anew from the Nebula sub-stage and Ull'Yang's life enters the next cycle of birth, maturation, death and rebirth.
  
  The necessary Might Points to induce a supernova are as follows:
  

  • 1 - 5 Cycles --> 1 Might
  • 5 - 10 Cycles --> 2 Might
  • 10 - ∞ Cycles --> 4 Might

  
  Ideally, Ull'Yang should always have enough Might to be able to induce a supernova and enter the next cycle of rebirth. However, in the case that he does not have enough Might, instead of entering the next cycle, he enters the third and last stage· the death stage.
  

  DEATH STAGE
  
  • White Giant
    
    • Black Dwarf
    In the White Dwarf state, Ull’yang is practically a faulty faucet, leaking essence and thus, severely weakened. If he is unlucky and loses all of his cosmic essence, Ull’yang will become a Black Dwarf and, unfortunately, die.
    
    However, if he manages to not lose all of his cosmic essence, Ull’Yang will collapse further and become a Neutron Star. The reward for persevering and not losing all his energy and dying would be the fact that he would regain his lost power of a Red Giant but with two drawbacks. Firstly, his power, that is his levels, would cease to increase because he would not be able to rebirth himself ever again. He would still be able to generate MP but he just can’t increase his level anymore. Secondly, he would have to restrain his power usage as he would be risking a further collapse, turning into a ravenous Black Hole and thus, dying.
    
    • Neutron Star
      
      • Black Hole

  
  Each successive rebirth cycle lasts 2x longer than the previous one. So for example, the first cycle will last just a mere 1 billion years. The second one will last 2 times longer, 2 billion years. The third one will last 2x longer than the second one at 4 billion years etc. Either way, if Ull’Yang manages to stray from the path of rebirth and into the path of death, he would have to appoint a successor to his position or the fate of the universe would be at stake as the death of the Primordial Star will automatically trigger the death of all stars in the universe and thus, destroying it.

Of course, there are positives to being a Primordial Star as well, to balance things out a bit. Fate brings both hardships as well as rewards.

• Primordial Avatar

  Ull can only have one avatar active at all times. Being what he is, appearing in his true form amongst mortals would be quite...unfortunate for that solar system, to say the least. Thus, the avatar would be the connection between him and the mortal world. It will communicate his will to the mortals and it will be it that will take his place, should he deem it necessary to involve himself in the affairs of mortals (war, conflict etc.)
  
  When comparing Ull’s Avatar with an Avatar of a god with the same level of power as Ull, the former would be several times stronger than the latter. Ull’Yang starts out with one such Avatar and each other Avatar he makes costs 5 more Might than the previous one.
• Varying MP Generation

  Ull’Yang’s MP per turn generation also varies according to the stage he is at.
  

  • Main Sequence Star: 200% of base might per turn.
  • Red Giant: 150% of base might per turn.
  • White Dwarf: 50% of base might per turn.
  • Neutron Star: 100% of base might per turn.

  During the rest of the stages, Ull’Yang enters hibernation and is unconscious or is dead and thus, doesn’t generate MP.

FUN FACT: You can calculate Ull’Yang’s age by following the below Rule:

x_n = ar^(n-1)

Where a=1 (the first term) and r=2 (the “common ratio”)

So for example, if you wanted to calculate Ull’s age at the start of his 9th cycle, you’d just have to do

x₉ = 1*2^(9-1) = 2⁸ = 256 billion years

Alignment: True neutral or simply, being pragmatic about the grand scheme of things, is the philosophy that harmony and freedom are both important in society and that altruism and egoism are both legitimate ends. It is a philosophy of pure equitistic consequentialism.

Personality: The Sun is associated with the conscious ego, the self and its expression, personal power, pride, and authority; the principles of creativity, spontaneity, health, and vitality, the sum of which is named the life force. All those characteristics embody the being called Ull Yang. He is unorthodox, refusing to follow the crowd. He is determined and prideful, but not egotistic. He is an independent thinker with ambitions of doing something important and meaningful. He has a habitually outgoing personality, not fearing to venture forth with confidence into the unknown. Individuals like him are able to adapt easily to a given situation and are not particularly influenced by objects and events in the external world.

Lastly, Ull Yang is loyal, kind and easygoing; a trait of his that tends to attract others into knowing and understanding him better. To those that he deems worthy of his wrath, though, Ull Yang is vengeful and unforgiving.

Description: At first glance, others would view Ull Yang as intelligent and outgoing but, if stuck around long enough to get to know him better, will realize exactly how much more than that he is. Due to the surprising amount of confidence he has in himself, his aura would be of that of a capable and respectable fellow, neither overbearing nor weak. Definitely, a person to befriend but also be wary off because of the spontaneity of his decisions.

Luna, the Twilight Queen

Creation: Physical/Spiritual (Hero)
Name: Luna
Age: Pre-Blessing: 4 Wolf years old - 29 Human years old. Post-blessing: Ageless
Personality: To be explored ICly...
History: Whisper, now known as Luna, was a grey dire wolf that lived on top of Ull'Yang's body that had fused with the small island while he was sleeping, resting after finishing the creation of his personal realm. Luna was a member of a wolf pack that primarily hunted in the Verdant Valley region of the island. Having been struck with a particularly harsh winter, the wolves were forced to cease hunting and instead, go into hiding so as to survive the sheer cold. Luna, though, refused to leave the pack to die of starvation and as such, ignored her pack leader's advice and went out hunting for wild elk.

After searching for a while, she actually managed to find an elk youngling. Immediately she attacked it, and since the youngling had yet to grow its deadly antlers, was unable to fight back and thus became her prey. Seconds after she had started feasting on the elk, a strange presence enveloped the island and a sound started being heard. Ull'Yang was beginning to awaken, only to find out that his demi-plane, Cygnea, has turned into a beautiful paradise, where life has flourished and is in abundance. He then thinks back to all the races that his siblings had created and placed on Galbar, and he decided to create a race of his own.

As he was thinking of that, however, he was shocked to find out that his body has fused with the small island he had made his resting place. Upon taking a closer look at the island, his gaze falls upon a wolf. A lifeform that should be of no significance to a godly being such as him, and yet, Ull'Yang was thrice shocked. The little wolf, Whisper, could actually resist his divine gaze for a few seconds before fainting! Ull'Yang, after pondering on the thought for some time, decided to take the wolf as his companion. He picks up, the then unconscious, Whisper from the ground and talks her into agreeing to follow him.

At first, she harbored some doubts, since she was reluctant to leave her pups and her pack behind, but in the end, after Ull'Yang reassured her he would guarantee their survival, she excitedly agreed to his offer. Ull'Yang then proceeds to bless her. After a painful-looking transformation that actually felt quite pleasurable, Whisper comes to and finds out that her body is quite different than before. Her torso and arms resembled that of humanoid creatures while her lower half retained most of its animalistic form. Fur, however, still covered most of her body.

That's how Luna, the Twilight Queen came to be.

Dov (Dragons)

Creation: Physical/Spiritual (Species)
Name: Dov racial - Dovah individual, singular/plural

• Description

  Lifespan: Anywhere between 600 to 1200 years
  

  • Physiology

    Dov, or more commonly known as dragons or wyrms, are giant, winged beasts closely resembling reptiles. Their wide arsenal of powerful abilities set them at the top of the food chain, making them some the most potent hunters of the natural world. All dragons have distinct age categories and grow in power and strength as they progress through those categories. Every dragon has both a breath weapon and an array of supernatural abilities, including an aura that induces overwhelming fear. All dragons also have the same basic body structure.
    

    • External Anatomy

      Covered in scales and in possession of four legs and a long, writhing tail, a dragon appears to be a giant reptile at first glance. Nevertheless, dragons are a classification unto themselves, with characteristics of predatory mammals as well as reptiles. In fact, a dragon’s external anatomy — with four legs directly beneath the body rather than splayed to the sides — is more mammalian than reptilian.
      

      • Sensory Organs

        At the center of a dragon’s eye is a thin, vertical pupil, like that of a cat. Whereas a cat’s pupil expands to admit more light in dark areas, however, the expansion of a dragon’s pupil allows primal energy flowing in the creature’s bloodstream to emanate from the pupil. This minute absorption of magic grants a dragon night vision.
        
        Dragons do not have external ears. As with snakes, an internal mechanism detects sounds. From the outside, the only evidence of this mechanism is a tiny hole between the scales. Some dragons have frills or fringes of scales along their heads; in such cases, one such set of scales might surround the auditory canal, focusing sound inward in a manner similar to that of a mammal’s external ear. These scales are not, however, a necessary part of the design.
        
        Due to their scales and thick hides, dragons have a poor tactile sense. Hence, a dragon can be comfortable sleeping on jagged and rough surfaces, as long as the pile vaguely conforms to the dragon’s shape. Dragons are, however, sensitive to pain. Anything capable of penetrating their hide and scales receives their full attention.
        
        A dragon’s sense of smell is split between its nostrils and its tongue. The nasal aperture can detect odors from a great distance, but that aperture is less capable than the tongue of differentiating an odor’s components. When a dragon draws near the source of an interesting scent, its flickering tongue identifies and pinpoints various odors, much as a snake’s tongue does.
        
        The tongue is also a dragon’s organ of taste. Dragons can detect nuances of flavor better than humanoids can. For example, a dragon could describe every ingredient of a stew after ingesting a single large mouthful.
      • Jaws and Teeth

        As with the common crocodile, the muscles that close a dragon’s jaw are more powerful than the ones that open it — yet only the mightiest foe could hope to hold a dragon’s jaw shut if a dragon wants to open it. The teeth, also resembling those of a crocodile, include fangs for tearing and puncturing, incisors for severing flesh from bone, and a series of molars for gripping and grinding.
        
        The jaw can also unhinge, stretching a dragon’s maw to massive proportions similar to the way a snake’s jaws unhinge. Dragons rarely display this ability, because they use it only to bite larger foes or to swallow prey too tough to be torn into smaller bits. The throat can stretch wide enough to accommodate anything the unhinged jaws can encompass though swallowing something so large that a dragon must unhinge its jaw is a painful experience.
        
        A dragon’s teeth and fangs consist of a hard substance more closely related to the substance of a dragon’s bones than to the enamel and dentin that comprise the teeth of most creatures. Similarly, the interior of the tooth resembles marrow more than it does pulp. A dragon grows a new set of teeth each time it increases in size. Between these periods, if a dragon loses a tooth, it has to do without unless it has a means of healing magically.
      • Spines, Claws, and Horns

        All dragons have some combination of protrusions in the form of spines, claws, horns, or all three. These protrusions are made of a substance similar to that of dragons’ teeth. They are not keratinous, as are the horns of most horned animals, nor have they the same composition as dragon bones though they’re close.
        
        Spines are anchored in muscle, connected to the skeleton by a series of ligaments. Claws and horns connect directly to the skeleton. Horns and spines grow as a dragon grows. Its claws, like its teeth, fall out and regrow when a dragon increases its size.
        
        A dragon’s feet have both reptilian and avian characteristics. A foot normally has three forward-facing claws plus a single claw near the rear of the foot, though a significant minority of dragons has four forward-facing claws. The rear claw normally faces backward when a dragon is walking or running, but it can twist forward to serve as something akin to an opposable thumb. Although the rear claw is not fully prehensile or as dexterous as a human hand, it does allow a dragon to grip objects and even to use tools or writing styluses if they’re properly sized and designed for draconic use.
      • Scales

        The texture of a dragon’s hide depends, in part, on a dragon’s variety. Some dragon's outer layer of scales may feel rough and leathery, like that of an alligator, whereas other's scales might generally feel smoother, like hardened snakeskin. These tendencies are not absolute. Dragons of different bloodlines might have markedly different textures.
        
        In any case, individual scales are more or less the same. The way they fit together determines the skin’s texture. Larger scales, such as those that cover the head, neck, and back, connect to the skin at one end and overlap neighboring scales at the other. This arrangement creates a layer that resembles scale armor or shingles on a roof. Smaller scales, such as those that cover a dragon’s underside, rest side by side rather than overlapping.
        
        Dragon scales are slightly more flexible than steel and substantially stronger, making them perfect armor. Unfortunately for those who desire to make armor from dragon scales, harvesting scales is difficult, and armor constructed from such scales lasts only a few weeks after it is taken from a living dragon. Although it's possible to magically enhance dragon scales in order to create unique sets of magic armor; it's virtually impossible to construct a long-lasting, plain armor from harvested scales with common blacksmithing techniques.
        
        A dragon never sheds its skin, since its scales grow slowly throughout the course of its life. It occasionally loses individual scales through injury or illness or as a result of natural molting. These patches remain bare for a few months at most before replacement scales grow large enough to fill the gap.
      • Wings

        A dragon’s wings are simple in structure. Each consisting of a membrane of thin hide stretched across a structure of lightweight bones, like a bat’s wing.
        
        Each wing is large enough that nothing short of numerous large tears can threaten a membrane’s integrity. As a result, it’s difficult to injure a dragon so severely that it cannot fly. Such tears heal relatively quickly.
    • Internal Anatomy

      Many details that differentiate dragons from other creatures are internal. Although a dragon’s scales and flesh somewhat resemble those of reptiles, a different story unfolds underneath...
      

      • Major Organs

        Reference

        

        • Brain (1)

          A dragon’s brain is large both in absolute terms and as a proportion of body mass. A significant part of the brain is dedicated to memory and reasoning, and other parts control two functions unique to dragons: the mystical power of the eyes and the channeling of learned behaviors into the instinctive, “reptilian” brain.
          
          Directly above the sensory centers of the cerebral cortex, a dragon has an extra growth — a miniature lobe — that has a direct synaptic connection to the optic nerves. It is this growth that generates a dragon’s frightful aura. Although not a true gaze attack, the effect emanates from the eyes, which might be why beings of inferior intelligence may find the gaze of a dragon hypnotic. This miniature lobe draws mystical power from blood that flows through the brain. After a dragon expends that power, it must concentrate for a few moments to reinvigorate the lobe and thus ready the ability for another use.
          
          The second major factor that sets a dragon’s brain apart from those of other creatures is the connection of the learning and memory portions of the brain with the so-called reptilian brain, which is responsible for rage, the fight-or-flight mechanism, and other instinctive behaviors. Thick clusters of synapses form this connection, incorporating anything a dragon learns into its instinctive behavior. Learned techniques such as effective combat and hunting tactics become an innate part of the wyrm’s automatic responses. Knowledge even passes to offspring. Young dragons inherit all their parents’ instincts and reactive behavior, including those traits that the parents have developed from their own memories and experiences.
        • Larynx & Trachea (2 - 3)

          The larynx contains an array of vocal cords capable of producing a wide array of sounds. Although most dragons prefer to speak in a narrow range of tones, a dragon can produce any sound from a dull rumble to a shriek so high-pitched that's borderline undetectable. The trachea, as in most creatures, is the passage for a dragon’s respiration.
        • Lungs (4)

          The lungs take up an enormous portion of a dragon’s chest cavity, given that they must oxygenate the blood for such a massive creature. They more closely resemble avian lungs than those of reptiles or mammals. They extract oxygen on both inhalation and exhalation.
        • Heart (5)

          A dragon’s heart is the source of its dragon’s power. This huge, four-chambered organ pumps strongly enough to send blood flowing throughout the enormous beast. If a dragon’s heart could be filled with granite, the strength of the heart’s constriction would crush the stone to powder.
          
          The heart also generates the elemental energy that grants dragons their breath weapons and other powers. It is a dragon’s most magical aspect. Without the mystical energy distributed by their hearts, dragons might be merely intelligent lizards. This energy suffuses the entire body through the blood. For parts of the body that require more focused power, the fundamentum is a more direct conduit.
          
          A dragon’s blood is somewhat thinner than regular blood and is darker, appearing black in dim lighting. The blood’s temperature depends on the variety of dragon. Some dragon's blood might give off steam while other's might be barely above freezing, and so forth.
        • Fundamentum (6)

          The fundamentum is an organ unique to dragons. Once thought to be the source of a dragon’s breath weapon, the fundamentum is an enormous blood vessel, like an extremely large, complex artery. The fundamentum channels the energy-rich blood from the heart directly into the upper stomach of a dragon’s gizzard.
          
          When examined outside a dragon, the fundamentum looks something like a rubbery hose, with a muscular outer layer capable of pumping blood similar to the way the heart does. This outer layer allows the fundamentum to constrict and open rapidly from one end to the other, propelling a wash of blood into the upper stomach.
        • Gizzard (7)

          The gizzard of a dragon contains two hollows: a smaller “upper stomach” and the gizzard chamber. Elemental energy, transferred from the heart through the fundamentum, remains in the upper stomach until needed. This energy either aids in digestion — in which case it flows into the gizzard whenever food arrives from the esophagus — or it comprises a dragon’s breath weapon.
          
          In truth, “breath weapon” is a misnomer, since the fire, poison, acid, or other substance discharges not from the lungs but from the upper stomach. The stream of energy is more accurately vomited than exhaled.
          
          Traces of this energy might leak from a dragon’s upper stomach into the esophagus, mouth, and nostrils, from which they might emerge as puffs of smoke or wisps of poison — another reason the uninformed might believe that the breath weapon is part of the respiratory system. This leaking energy also causes the damage dealt by most dragons’ bite attacks.
          
          After food reaches the gizzard, the hard plates inside the organ, similar in composition to the horns and teeth, grind it up. The upper stomach bathes the swallowed food in energy from its pool.

      • Muscular System

        Reference

        

        The musculature of a dragon somewhat resembles that of a great hunting cat from neck to rump and that of a constrictor serpent along the neck and tail. The area that defies comparison is the area at the wing-base and along the chest.
        
        Wing and chest muscles are dense and larger than any other muscle group in dovah anatomy. Despite their great power, however, they could not provide lift to such a massive beast without magical assistance. It is the elemental energy coursing through a dragon's cardiovascular system contributes to the beast's ability to fly. According to this theory, magic in the wings grants a dragon strength beyond that provided by the muscles.
        
        The alar pectoral (1) is the main flight muscle, used on the wing’s downstroke. The alar latissimus dorsi (2) draws the wing up and back, and the alar deltoid (3) and alar cleidomastoid (4) draw them up and forward.
        
        The muscles of the wings themselves serve primarily to control the wings’ shape, aiding a dragon’s aerial maneuverability. The alar tricep (5) and alar bicep (6) fold and unfold the wings, and the alar carpi ulnaris (7) and alar carpi radialus (8) allow the wings to wrap and twist.
        
        In addition to being the strongest muscle group in a dragon’s body, the pectoral muscles are also the most enduring. Enormous quantities of blood flow in and out of the muscles regularly, sweeping away — or even destroying, thanks to the blood’s innate energy — toxins that cause fatigue. A dragon can fly for many minutes at full speed, for hours at a reasonable pace, and for days on end if it relies substantially on gliding and updrafts. Dragons maintain their average overland flight speeds by switching back and forth between true flight and periods of gliding.
      • Skeletal System

        Reference

        

        A dragon’s skeletal system consists of more than five hundred separate bones. As with the muscular system, the skeleton between a dragon’s neck and rump — the bones of its legs and torso — somewhat resembles the skeleton of a great feline, although the neck and tail bones more closely resemble those of serpents. The bones in and around the wings, like the muscles thereof, defy comparison.
        
        Dragon bone is strong. In fact, it is stronger than any known non-magical material other than adamantine, in terms of the amount of pressure it can withstand. As with scales, when bone is removed from a dragon’s body, it becomes relatively brittle. If a person were to consider dragon bone as a building material, good quality stone or heavy wood would ultimately make better choices because of their comparable durability and wider availability.
        
        Dragon bones are hollow like those of birds, making them remarkably light for their size and strength. The marrow within is yet another repository of the elemental energy that flows through the bloodstream.
        
        The sternum (1) serves as an anchor for a dragon’s flight muscles, and the scapula draconis (2) supports the wing. The metacarpis draconis (3) and alar phalanges (4) in each wing support the wing’s flight surface.
    • Metabolism

      People assume that dragons are cold-blooded due to their apparently reptilian nature. In truth, a dragon does not depend upon the environment for warmth, but rather maintains a consistent internal temperature. By broad definition, that makes dragons warm-blooded, but true warm-blooded creatures maintain their body temperature by increasing their metabolic rate when the environment grows cold and by slowing their metabolism and shedding heat — through sweating, panting, or similar methods — when the environment warms.
      
      The elemental energy flowing through a dragon's bloodstream, on the other hand, maintains the wyrm's proper range of internal temperatures, regardless of external environment. Even dragons whose breath weapons have no intrinsic temperature requirements — such as breath weapons of poison or acid — use that energy to maintain internal heat. Naturally, dragons that have fire or heat-based attacks maintain the highest body temperatures while those that use frost or cold-based attacks maintain low body temperatures.
      
      A dragon can enter a long sleep similar to a state of hibernation. Such a sleep allows the creature to pass decades or even centuries without waking. Dragons might enter this sleep as a way of surviving periods of famine without having to find a new lair, grieving the loss of a loved one, or withdrawing from the world out of sheer boredom.
      

      • Diet

        Because dragons make use of supernatural energy as part of their digestive process, they can consume and digest all sorts of food. They can also consume substances that wouldn't qualify as food to other living creatures.
        
        Dragons are predators — instinctive hunters at the top of the food chain. They find meat and other organic material the easiest fare to digest. When meat is unavailable, dragons resort to eating large plants such as trees and large bushes.
        
        In emergencies, when the alternative is starvation, dragons might eat anything they can swallow: dead wood, rock, and other inorganic materials are all fair game. However, dragons find these substances distasteful. Furthermore, since rock, for instance, holds little nutritional value, a dragon must eat a lot more of such a substance than it needs of organic material — at least as much as its own body weight per day to maintain health. Dragons consider such measures humiliating, to the extent that some dragons prefer to starve for a time rather than depend on food they weren't meant to eat.
        
        The elemental aspect of a dragon’s digestive system, in addition to allowing the creature to eat substances others cannot, also makes it hyper-efficient at digesting meats and other normal foods. Although a dragon can consume more than half its body weight in such food over the course of a day — and many do just that, with sufficient prey a dragon needs to eat only about 15 to 20 percent of its body weight in organic food on a daily basis. At the other end of the scale, a dragon must eat an obscene amount of food to gain weight.
        
        Dragons might make use of their breath weapons even when hunting prey that could not possibly survive a melee encounter. Some dragons breathe on prey that is already dead. Since dragons use the same energy in digestion that they use for their breath weapons, they find it easier to digest prey that they have already bathed in their particular form of energy.
  • Life Cycle

    More so those that of other creatures, a dragon’s life cycle and life span shape its capabilities and even its personality. Barring violence or disease, even the shortest-lived dragon can expect to see a score of centuries. A dragon's life cycle is divided into four main age groups: young, adult, elder, and ancient. In truth, dragons must first pass through an earlier stage that few adventurers see: wyrmling. They also pass through a final stage called twilight.
    

    • Mating

      Although the specifics of mating rites and relationships vary from one kind of dragon to another, several commonalities exist. Young dragons can mate, and might do so out of sheer biological urge — or even, at times, for love—but they are rarely prepared to rear young. They might abandon clutches of eggs wherever the eggs will have a decent chance of survival. Few eggs left in this way survive — and dragons that hatch from them might not learn to fend for themselves well enough before becoming prey.
      
      By the time they reach adulthood, even evil or selfish dragons have developed a measure of parenting instinct. They keep their eggs in their lairs, watching over them to ensure safe incubation. Most mated pairs remain together until the eggs hatch, though at other times a single parent — often the female but sometimes the male — cares for the eggs alone. Sometimes the adults stay together even after eggs hatch, staying together until the hatchlings can fend for themselves, at which point the pair splits up.
      
      Elder dragons lay eggs less often than adults do but treat them with the same care. Ancient dragons almost never produce offspring, but those that do are highly protective—more so even than adults.
      
      A few dragon varieties are monogamous, mating with the same partner every cycle while others have multiple partners throughout their lives and retain little emotional attachment to former mates.
      
      Both male and female dragons become fertile roughly halfway through the young stage of life and remain so until well into their ancient years. The urge to mate emerges at roughly the same time that fertility takes hold, grows to its height during the early adult stage, and fades — sometimes slightly, sometimes to nothing — at the late elder or early ancient stage.
    • Eggs

      Dragons lay eggs in small clutches, the exact number varying according to the kind of dragon. Females can lay eggs as often as once per year but rarely do so that frequently. Dragons have a greater degree of influence over their own reproductive systems than humanoids do. Although a female dragon cannot completely control whether or not mating produces fertile eggs, the chance of fertilization falls dramatically if the dragon does not wish to reproduce.
      
      One of the parents — usually the female — typically locates the nest deep in the lair. The nest consists of a mound or pit where the parent gathers the eggs and buries them in sand, dirt, snow, leaves, or whatever medium is best suited to the dragon and to the environment.
      
      The average dragon egg is about the size of a small rain barrel. Eggs normally have the same color as the dragon variety, though somewhat duller in hue. They are roughly ovoid and have a texture somewhere between dragon scale and stone.
      
      When first laid, a dragon egg has resistance to the energy type of its parents' breath weapon (Mixed breed dragon eggs have resistance to one parent’s damage type, and don’t survive if the other parent is incautious with his or her breath.) As the egg nears hatching, the shell grows harder but more brittle, and that resistance diminishes. By the time the wyrmling is ready to hatch, the egg has no resistance at all.
      
      Incubation time varies according to the variety of dragon. In all cases, the eggs are fertilized inside the female and are ready for laying roughly one-quarter of the way through the incubation period.
    • Stages of Life

      Hatchling

      ---

      When a wyrmling is ready to hatch, it begins feeding on the inside of the egg’s shell, absorbing the remaining nutrients. This activity strengthens the young dragon and weakens the shell. The wyrmling then breaks free by clawing at the sides, pressing against and cracking the shell with brute strength, and blasting the shell occasionally with its own already developed breath weapon.
      

      Wyrmling

      ---

      A newly hatched dragon has a full array of abilities. Although inferior to those of a young dragon, these abilities are sufficient for the wyrmling to take care of itself, at least against relatively weak threats and predators. Although an emerging wyrmling is sodden and somewhat awkward, it can run within hours of hatching and can fly within a day or two. A wyrmling’s senses are fully acute, and—due to the interweaving of a dragon’s centers of memory and instinct—it is born with a substantial amount of its parents’ knowledge imprinted in its mind.
      
      Even so, a dragon is not born with the full memories of prior generations. Rather, a wyrmling has a grasp of the generalities of the world and of its own identity. It knows how to move, how to use its innate abilities, who and what its parents are, and — perhaps the most important — how to view the world around it. This awareness is one reason that even the youngest dragons are capable of surviving to adulthood.
      
      Parents might accompany a wyrmling on its earliest hunts, to protect it and to make certain it knows how to hunt efficiently. Wyrmlings left to fend for themselves and wyrmlings that don’t have protective parents still must leave the nest within a few days of hatching to find food. By the third or fourth foray, even solicitous dragon parents let wyrmlings hunt on their own, lest the wyrmlings grow too dependent on parental assistance.
      
      Wyrmlings spend a few years dwelling with one or both of their parents. Some parents welcome this time as an opportunity to teach their offspring lessons beyond its inherited knowledge: the best areas to hunt, what to look for in a lair, and other knowledge a growing dragon needs to gain. Other parents look on wyrmlings as necessary evils: competitors for resources and for space in the lair that must nevertheless be tolerated for a brief time. Only evil dragons that lack any parenting instinct, although extremely rare, consider forcing a wyrmling to leave the nest early.
      
      A wyrmling whose parents abandoned it before it hatched or could not care for it after it hatched takes longer to hone its abilities. It still has the advantage of its inherited instincts, but the lack of a teacher makes perfecting its abilities an arduous task. Some wyrmlings manage to do so on their own, through trial and error. Others seek out mentors of their own kind. Even an evil dragon might willingly take on a short-term apprentice if the younger dragon shows adequate respect, such as material gifts. These relationships rarely last more than a few months, because the older dragon inevitably begins to view the younger one as a rival. The younger dragon either departs or ends up on the menu.
      
      Although wyrmlings are small and weak by dragon standards, a wyrmling is roughly the size of a large wolf or a full-grown human. Even at their youngest, dragons have few natural predators.
      

      Young

      ---

      By the time a wyrmling becomes a young dragon, it has grown to roughly the size of a horse, and its lairing and territorial instincts are stoked into a raging fire. A young dragon must leave the nest (if it has not already done so) before territoriality and greed transform the parent-child relationship into a bitter rivalry.
      
      The relationship between a dragon and its fullgrown offspring depends on the individuals in question. For the most part, dragon parents and children retain a loving relationship; though they do not share territories, they harbor affection for each other and render assistance if the other is in danger. A rare few go the opposite route, treating their parents or offspring as competitors for resources — highly dangerous competitors at that, since each knows the other so well — and end up violently at odds.
      
      The first task of a young dragon is to find a lair of its own. This task can prove challenging, because the territory the dragon knows belongs to either a parent or a mentor. Thus, a young dragon must depart the region it knows best to find a spot isolated enough to serve as a lair, yet still near enough to viable hunting grounds to make foraging possible.
      
      Young dragons use existing structures (such as abandoned castles or mines) or natural hollows (such as caves) for their lairs. Later in life, when a dragon has more power, knowledge, and confidence, it might build, or find others to build, a better home. At the young stage, though, it just needs to find something viable.
      

      Adult

      ---

      Adult dragons revel in the fact that they are among the mightiest predators in, particularly if they have had a successful youth. At this age, adult dragons seek to expand their territories dramatically or even to move their lairs, abandoning whatever haphazard sanctuary they might have found as youths in favor of larger, more comfortable, or even custom-built homes. These efforts sometimes pit them against other dragons or territorial creatures. Thus, adult dragons are the most likely to initiate combat with other wyrms.
      

      Elder

      ---

      By the time it becomes an elder, a dragon has likely found or created its permanent lair and has well and truly established its territory. Although a few elder dragons continue to expand their domains, most are content with their holdings (barring environmental changes or famine) and are more likely to be the defender against encroaching younger dragons than they are to initiate such conflicts.
      
      Elder dragons have lived long enough that they have fully adopted the long view in terms of their goals and efforts. Unless they are acting in immediate defence of their territory or offspring, there is hardly ever a reason to hurry, and it is better to do something right then to rush. To fill the time between, they will entertain their minds with puzzles, whether benign pursuits or malicious scheming as well as the accumulation of knowledge and magical treasures.
      

      Ancient

      ---

      By the time it becomes ancient, a dragon ranks among the most powerful creatures to walk the earth. Its lair is nigh impregnable. Its name (or at least one of them) is known far and wide among dragons and humanoids both. The dragon has survived longer than most nations.
      
      The truth is, the dragon doesn’t have much left to do. The dragon’s territory is as large as the dragon wants it to be. If the dragon wants to manipulate and control the nearby communities, it does so. Few rivals exist with sufficient power to offer the dragon anything resembling sport. For an ancient dragon, perhaps the greatest challenge is staving off boredom.
      
      Some ancients spend years hibernating for lack of anything better to do. Others ignite conflict, invading other dragons' territories or inspiring humanoid allies to go to war, in hopes of finding a challenge to pass the time. A few revert to behaviors of younger dragons, hunting and raiding at whim. Some devote themselves fanatically to whatever religious beliefs they hold, or seek out new ones.
      

      Twilight

      ---

      Even dragons eventually succumb to the ravages of age. As death approaches, the wyrm enters a state dubbed as "the twilight." Although the average age of a twilight dragon is within a couple of decades of maximum age, some dragons enter the twilight more than a century earlier. Others enter twilight only in the last few years of life. Some never enter twilight, going overnight from full, ancient health to death of old age.
      
      Twilight is the only time during a dragon's life span when the creature grows weaker rather than stronger. Precisely how this weakening develops differs from dragon to dragon and appears to have no correlation with the dragon's variety.
      

      Death

      ---

      The mighty dragons, despite all their power, are still mortal. With the exception of those who extend their existence by unnatural means, death eventually comes to them all. Most dragons die in battle — defending their territory from rivals, invading other wyrms' territories, or falling victim to the business ends of humanoid adventuring parties' swords and spells.
      
      Those who reach the end of old age find themselves in a quandary. Although some dragon varieties can will themselves to die, others do not have that capability. Thus, those powerful or lucky enough to reach old age face the slow decline into twilight, further weakening, and, eventually, death.
  • Society

    Although dragons are very territorial and aggressive towards other dragons they think are invading their area of influence; all dovah have one thing in common and that is respect for seniority and a deep sense of responsibility towards their respective clan. Although most dragons distance themselves from their parents after they leave their protective wings, even the weakest and most insignificant dragon takes pride in its lineage.
    

    • Psychology

      Dragon psychology centers on a nature tempered by strong cultural ideals. From a fierce intensity and a well-developed sense of self sprouts a resolve born of an honest desire to be the best one can be and to be worthy of one's heritage.
      
      Tradition focuses the inner ego with principles of personal excellence, honor, and wisdom. Strongly emotional, dragons approach life with a natural enthusiasm. Passion comes easily, and dragons readily invest themselves in the tasks set before them. At its simplest and perhaps basest level, this fervor expresses itself in extremes of feeling — dragons don't hide anger or joy. Such emotion also surfaces as ferocity in battle, especially when dragon feel their resolve faltering. When failure comes into view as a possibility, dragons become more tenacious.
      
      This is partly because a healthy self-image is common among dovah. Few dragons are timid or reserved, except as a matter of showing proper respect to others. Guided by their respective personal morals, dragons look out for themselves, along with those creatures and items they value. They have no trouble asking for/taking by force what they need or taking time to improve their abilities. And they expect others to do the same.
    • Clans

      Although most of the time, their overly independent nature gets the best of them and as a result, making living in large groups and the formation of societies very difficult, all dragons from the moment they are born belong to a clan.
      
      Clans, which play an enormous role in the life of dragons, are led by wizened, aged clan-masters, preferably ancient dragons. However, since it's so rare for a dragon to actually stay alive for so long, it's usually elder dragons that are appointed this position. They are chosen for their ability to lead and to provide guidance to the younger generations, should they come looking for it.
      
      All clans have reputations, for good and ill, that often last for generations. A dragon's actions are expected to bring favor and good will to his or her clan, improving this reputation. For this reason, dragons typically go by their clan names rather than their family names, hoping to bring honor and glory to their clan.
      
      This pressure to either right the wrongs of the past or continue a clan's glory can define a dragon's life. Some dragonborn flee from the imposing responsibilities their clan puts on them, choosing infamy over such a burden. Others accept the responsibility or even turn it into an additional drive for their ambition, hoping to one day become the clan-master.

Constructs

Sunderer

Creation: Physical (Weapon)
Name: Sunderer
Description: In its original shape, Sunderer is a mithril alloy-based metal rod of medium thickness. Its normal reach measures to about ten feet, but due to special enchantments forged by Teknall and Ull'Yang, can change its size and shape according to the needs of the wielder.

Crafted by Teknall, the Divine Craftsman.
Inherent Abilities

• Essence Absorption - The magical quality inherent to mithril allows for the wielder of the weapon to infuse if with their magical essence, which then, in turn, can be used for a variety of purposes.

Specialized Abilities

• Morphing - The wielder of a morphing weapon can reshape it into any other weapon or tool.
• Sizing - The wielder of a sizing weapon can change its size as they see fit. For example, the weapon can be elongated to increase its reach or shrunk to the size of a grain of sand, among other things.
• Weight - A weapon with the weight enchantment weighs just a few pounds in the hands of its original wielder. However, its weight increases to immeasurable numbers, making it nigh-unliftable to all but a few beings in existence. And even then, those beings that can lift it in that condition find it hard to actually wield it in a fight skillfully.
• Storage - A weapon with the storage enchantment can also act as a storage, should the user will it so. The weapon itself is magically fitted with an extradimensional pocket that can hold both living beings as well as non-living objects.

  HISTORY
  The people of Belintash boast deep roots in the northern lands of the Emperiat. Urnst, the largest and most renown city in the province started out as nothing but a simple mining village. However, several generations before the rule of King Anderis, the miners of the village, after many years of fruitless digging, struck gold.
  
  With the passing of time and the help of the mountain in the form of wealth, Urnst grew larger and more populated, attracting men and women who were seeking their fortunes from all over the world. They, in turn, started creating more cities near Urnst and settled down there. In the end, It was declared a Grand Province by one of Anderis's forefathers, who sent one of his most trusted men, Jaggen Farwynd, to rule over it.
  
  Many generations later, the Farwynd Coat of Arms is still found waving proudly over the now heavily fortified walls of Urnst. The great-great-great grandchild of Jaggen, Basil Farwynd now possesses the titles of Viceroy of Belintash and Guardian Protector of the Imperial Mines. In his earlier years, Basil was renown throughout the lands for his strict but fair rule over his lands and his undying loyalty to the Emperiat. Nevertheless, although Time cannot diminish his loyalty, It has weakened him considerably, both in body and spirit.
  
  When he heard of the betrayal that had befallen his friend and king, Anderis, he mourned for many a day. During this time, a letter arrived in his hands that detailed the appointment of the late king's son, Elendin, to the throne. Along with the letter came a King's Order, directly asking from Basil to send an advisor to nurture and teach the young King Elendin in the ways of ruling.
  
  Although his first thought was for himself to go, his weakened self was not all that happy with the proposal. Hence, he decided to send his eldest daughter, Layna, in his place. Although life had not blessed Basil with a strong son, he had dutifully and lovingly raised both of his daughters to have a strong heart and willpower, along with a strong sense of duty. Thus, he knew for a fact that Layna would not fail to meet that task of guiding the young King.

  NAME
  Layna Marie Farwynd
  
  AGE
  23
  
  APPEARANCE
  
  
  KNOWN FOR
  Layna is known for her high intelligence and analytical thinking, along with a passion for strategy and warfare. She used to accompany her father on his visits to the Imperial Capital, before the late king's death. She was once praised for her beauty, but since the assassination attempt that left her with permanent scars on her face and back, she has been receiving fewer and fewer compliments.
  
  SECRET
  More of a personal belief that she has never disclosed to anyone than a secret, Layna harbors ill thoughts towards the Emperiat and the Royal Family. She believes that the Emperiat is not worthy of the wealth and riches of her homeland. She believes her line is much more worthy of the throne and if that is not possible, then she would rather have Belintash detach itself from the Emperiat than be under their rule. Of course, she knows that her father would be devastated if he ever realized her traitorous thoughts.
  
  SKILLS
  An abnormality if you wish, Layna is one of those few women who do not bode well with housework. Instead, she is known throughout the province of Belintash as a shrewd and intelligent young woman, well versed in the matters of both warfare and administration, a byproduct of Basil's strict teachings.
  
  When she was 18, she was the target of an assassination attempt. Unfortunately for the assassin, she always keeps a knife under her pillow at night. That, coupled with the fact that she is a very light sleeper caught the assassin out of guard. The result? Him on the floor with a slashed carotid and bleeding to death and her with a multitude of scars, mainly a small one under her eye and another, bigger one on her back, reminding her of the incident for the rest of her life.
  
  MOTTO

  Contended with little, yet wishing for more.

Madeleine Martell

Madeleine Martell

Full Body

Female | 19 | 158.4 cm | 49 kg | Aquarius

^{≈≈≈≈≈}

Appearance

Standing at 158.4 cm and weighing just 49 kg, Madeleine's relatively short but slim and toned figure is not to be underestimated. She's been a fitness enthusiast ever since her older brother first introduced her to the wonders of daily callistenics and body-weight training. This, along with her generally high metabolism has helped her build a surprisingly strong body that packs a serious punch, if need arises.

Her spiky, short, black hair with their peculiar hairstyle has always been a constant bother for her. Whenever people ask her about them, she just brushes them off saying that she just likes them that way. However, that couldn't be farther from the truth. How could she ever say that she can't, for the life of her, fix her bed hair? No matter how much she brushes, irons or whatever, come morning and her hair's back to its original style. Bed hairstyle that is...

As for her fashion sense, it's generally loose. Basically, she will wear whatever seems or feels comfortable to her at the time. One exception to this rule, however, is when she's exercising. When doing any kind of fitness activity, she favors the fitness shorts and single-color tanktops.

Of course, there's her tattoo as well. Although most of the times, only the part that's on her arm is shown, the tattoo actually stretches all the way from her arm, down the right side of her back, and all the way to her right ankle. She got it some time before enrolling in the ECAY, although the reason why she decided to have one is still unknown.

Personality

Maddie, as she prefers other people call her (she feels that Madeleine is too formal), is your average laid-back 19-year old. She's very sociable and will almost always get along well with anyone she meets for the first time. She loves music, especially rock and metal, and likes going out with friends. When that's not possible, she will spend time reading a book, watching a movie or doing a light workout. Being the fitness enthusiast she is, she always encourages other people to get into shape, if they are not. She dislikes people that refuse to even try going to the gym once, as well as those who argue that being healthy isn't directly associated with daily exercise (these people exist, believe it or not).

Maddie is also that one friend whose shoulder will always be there, should you want to cry, and will comfort and empathize with others very easily. She likes giving out advice, regardless of the age difference between her and the recipient (she believes the most important thing about others' words isn't experience or age, but the different kind of perspective you get when listening to other peoples' opinions on a matter).

Sadly, however, she rarely truly opens up her heart to others. She hates being a burden and thus when people ask her if something's wrong, she will almost always brush it off as nothing and change the topic to irrelevant things. Few people have gotten her to open up to them and even fewer have seen her cry, as she unconsciously represses those feelings whenever they arise. Nevertheless, if you get to that level of trust with her, congratulations, you have earned yourself a true friend.

She also doesn't really get angry. You'll notice that if you hang around her enough. She generally uses stupid words as substitutes for curse words sometimes and she just doesn't get mad. Maddie has done a good job at not losing her temper over the years. She won't be mean to you if you piss her off a little because that's not in her nature. Pushing her to her limit is tough and well, let's just hope you don't.

History

The awakening...

Maddie was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio as the second child to James and Lyna Martell. She, her family and her older brother by eight years, Lucas, lead a pretty normal life... up until that fateful day...

It was a beautiful Friday morning, and a 16-year-old Maddie was returning back from school. At Sunday her older brother was coming home all the way from Seattle where he was working. You see, Sunday was their mother's birthday and thus, the whole house was bustling with excitement. Maddie had saved up a few week's worth of allowance so she could buy a present for her mom. On her way home, she took a detour, going to the nearest mall to search something to buy.

Shopping, for the most part, was smooth sailing. Maddie knew exactly what her mother liked, so she took her sweet time checking out the clothes and shoe stores for that special something. After half an hour of walking by stores, she'd finally found something. A couple of minutes passed and Maddie waltzed out of the store with a bag in her hand and a beaming smile on her face, thinking about the face her mother would make once she received her present. She started walking towards her house, too absorbed in her own world to notice the black mini-van that had started up the moment she walked outside.

Now, Maddie's father was a pretty well-known and reputable lawyer and as such, the family was pretty well-off, however, this had nothing to do with money. When Maddie was about to cross a road section, a black car suddenly came out of nowhere and stopped right in front of her with screeching sound. Two men in black immediately shot out of the car, one with a gag on his hand and the other with a huge black bag. Maddie, of course, was scared witless but the man with the gag did not give her much time to react. He clenched his fist and punched her right in the gut.

Maddie, although she'd already started working out a long time ago, had no particular fighting skills and as such, could not defend herself from the incoming punch. The girl doubled over, gasping for air. Grasping the opportunity, the men swiftly gagged her, put her inside the bag and dropped her in the minivan before driving off. The whole thing was over in a matter of minutes.

The next time Maddie woke up, she found herself sitting on a chair, inside a dark room. She tried moving her hands and legs, but she realized she had been tied tightly to the chair, and the chair itself was embedded into the concrete floor below. Next to the chair there was a table with multiple surgical tools scattered over it.

Of course, her 16-year-old mind couldn't handle the realization that she'd been kidnapped, and by the looks of it the person who did it was ruthless. As she silently wept, thinking about her family and loved ones and the fact that she might not see them ever again, the door to the room opened and a tall man in a suit walked inside with a phone in one hand and an indescribable look on his face.

He and Maddie looked each other in the eyes silently as he grabbed a chair, dragged it over in front of Maddie, took off his jacket and placing it on the chair, and sat down. He then introduced himself as Mister J. The man went on to explain to Maddie her current predicament, why she was kidnapped and answer all other questions she might have had.

As it turned out, Mister J was a well-known drug kingpin that worked underground. His little brother, X as he named him, was caught a month ago by the cops while he was taking care of some cartel business with the Mexican Mob. He was trialed, found guilty of drug trafficking and sent off to jail. Mister J explained that his brother was always the feisty one, his loud mouth always got the better of him but Mr. J still loved him to death. Unfortunately for X, the inmates he called pigs right after going to jail did not appreciate his personality and thus, a week later he was found dead inside the showers. Five people ganged up on him, beat and strangled him to death.

Maddie ended up vomiting the contents of her stomach as Mr. J described his brother's death. However, she was completely horrified when she heard Mr. J's next words.

"Maddie, Maddie, Maddie... I am sure you want to know exactly why I am telling you all this, right?" The girl only weakly nodded her head. Mr. J smirked and continued. "You see, here's the thing," he leaned closer to her. "Those pieces of scum that killed my bro are already dead, their eyeballs ripped out of their skulls and shoved right down their throats," he said and laughed. Maddie could do nothing but shudder, and as she imagined the scene, she vomited through her gag once more.

"Heh, I am also sure that you wanna know where do you fit inside all this, right?" Mr. J asked again. This time, however, he didn't wait for confirmation. He swiftly stood up, grabbed her by the hair and leaned closer, so close that she could feel his breath on her face. "Your daddy lead the prosecution in the trial that took my little brother's freedom and, ultimately life, away from him," he told Maddie.

Maddie immediately lost all of its colors, just now realizing why she had been kidnapped. She had some basic knowledge of the legal system so she could understand what he meant by 'the prosecution'. Her father was the lawyer directly responsible for putting Mr. J's brother in jail. Mr. J released Maddie's hair and walked behind her. After shuffling for a while, he brought a tripod and set it up a few feet away from her. "Now, we have a little saying in my family," he said as he brought out a camera and mounted it on the tripod.

"Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, limb for a limb... death for a death. Your dad's justice took my brother away from me, causing me endless grief. I wonder... how he will react once I reciprocate those feelings back?" he asked, yet didn't expect an answer. He dragged his chair away and walked next to the surgical table. "I have so many toys here, which one do you think I should start with first?" he smiled at her as he put on plastic gloves.

He grabbed a nearby scalpel and slowly walked in front of Maddie. "Oh, but where are my manners. I've yet to remove the gag from your pretty little mouth. I wonder what you have to say about all this," he smiled and removed the gag. Maddie's mouth trembled as droplets of saliva mixed with vomit exited her mouth. "Oh, nothing?" he said and leaned forward, dragging the flat of the scalpel over Maddie's cheek.

And then, something snapped inside Madeleine. And from her mouth erupted a scream unlike no other. Mr. J's whole body shot backward with the force of several G's and crashed into the steel reinforced door, ripping it off its hinges and crashing into the concrete wall of the hall behind it. All of the bones in his body shattered and he died on the spot. Maddie also fainted, the mixture of sheer terror and the force of her awakening taking a massive toll on her 16-year-old mind.

The next time she woke up, Maddie found herself in a hospital. The moment she started shuffled her body trying to sit up in her bed, two nurses and a doctor immediately entered the room and started running all kinds of tests on her to check on her vitals. At that time the doctor also informed her that she had been in a coma for five whole months, something that shocked her. When the doctor asked her if she was feeling anything out of the ordinary, she told him that she could 'see' waves coming out of his mouth. The doctor looked at her for a brief moment before telling her that hallucinations are pretty common with long-term coma patients that have just awakened.

At that moment, a knock was heard on the door and one of the nurses opened it, revealing two men in business suits and black glasses. The doctor walked over to the men and started talking to them while pointing to Maddie from time to time. After a short while, the doctor glanced at Maddie before taking the nurses and exiting the room, leaving her alone with the two men.

The little girl immediately started feeling uncomfortable, but one of the men told her to calm down and that they weren't there to hurt her. Only after much convincing and another trip from the doctor that verified the men weren't dangerous, Maddie calmed down and listened to what the men said. They introduced themselves as ECAY Scouting Agents and that they were here because of her. They told her they dealt with various paraphysical phenomena, things seemingly impossible to exist.

They told her that what she was seeing, those 'waves' coming out of their mouths, was actually a sort of power that she had somehow awakened. They explained that there is a whole other world out there, of magic and the paranormal that's hidden from the public. When she awakened her powers, detectors they have in their headquarters picked up the residual ripples of energy emitted during her awakening and pinpointed her location. They were the ones that found her and brought her to the hospital.

Maddie donned a blank expression all the way through the agents' explanations. She was suddenly overloaded with a ton of information. Powers? Magic? The impossible becoming possible? The men would sound crazy to a normal, everyday person, but not Maddie. The 'waves' were clear evidence of that! It was something new! Something she had never seen before! She slowly started believing in everything the men had told her.

But then she realized something and tears welled up in her eyes. When the men witnessed this, they immediately understood what she was thinking. How couldn't they? Almost all the people they had scouted over the years, apart from those that had no family or friends, had acted the same way. "You don't have to worry about being away from your family if that's the reason why you're crying. It's true that the government wouldn't allow such a person like you to go about their business amongst normal human beings, no one could imagine the consequences.

However, that does not mean that you will be isolated in a cell, strapped in a chair and experimented upon like a lab rat. Remember when I told you that we have scouted many before you?" The man said, and a smile appeared on his and his partner's faces.

"What do you mean?" Maddie sniffed and asked.

"Do you like school, Madeleine Martell?" The man said cryptically...

Powers

Name: Vibrokinesis
Type: Psychic Power
Description: The major strength granted by this power is its user's ability to generate and manipulate vibrations, or shock waves, which can travel through virtually any medium that is solid, liquid, or gas.

By vibrating the atoms around herself, Maddie can simulate supernatural strength and speed, slow the vibrations in the molecules in the air below her feet to temporarily turn them into a solid, allowing her to double, or even triple jump. She can produce sonic booms at will, make blunt weapons blunter and edged weapons sharper (The ultrasonic vibrations along the blade's edge allow it to cut through much denser materials than would normally be possible. Alternatively, friction from the vibrations are used to heat the blade white-hot, and the heat is the source of the increased cutting power. Intense enough vibrations can also create an air vacuum with each slash).

Additionally, this power can manipulate sound waves in order to project their voice or other sounds from very far away, generate earthquakes, generate sea quakes (which result in tsunami's), break the sound barrier, and even contain and charge the particles in the air in the palm of the hands to create charge particle beam blasts.

On a higher scale, the user can create a counter vibrating frequency to cancel out another object's frequency, thereby destroying it. This ability takes advantage of the ideal that everything (including objects, living creatures, immaterial creatures, space, time, matter, energy, etc.) gives off a vibrating frequency, and by emitting an opposing frequency, both the frequency and the object are destroyed. Of course, as everything emits a slightly different frequency, the user must concentrate on creating the correct counter frequency to make their power effective. Thus, focusing on the specific wavelength for a more pinpoint counter becomes all that more difficult.

Of course, vibrations must have something to vibrate and travel through, whether gas, liquid or solid matter. That means that Maddie's powers are nullified inside a vacuum. Secondly, keeping her powers up for longer than a minute at a time takes immense amounts of concentration from her and exerting herself further can lead to self-injury or even fainting, although this facet can be increased somewhat with sufficient training.

Annevar Tel'ethir

Annevar Tel'ethir

32 | Uquii (Half-elf) | Female | 5'8" | 131 lbs | Unaffiliated

Full Body

Annevar's relatively tall, standing at 5'8" and weighing just over 130 lbs, lean and fit frame coupled with her unique druidic aura certainly makes her stand out in a crowd. Although it might be normal amongst other races, her choice of keeping her hair shorter intentionally is usually met with curious and confused looks by other elves; it's widely regarded that short hair amongst half-elves is the sign of a slave. Her response to comments regarding her appearance? A simple, silent smile.

Since she travels a lot, Annevar prefers light, comfortable clothing of earthly colours, such as greenish brown silken gowns, linen trench coats and hooded cloaks. She does not possess any footwear as she feels closer to the earth and nature when her bare feet touch the ground.

Pᴇʀsᴏɴᴀʟɪᴛʏ

Anne, as she prefers her close friends call her, is one unique character alright. She possesses a cheerful and laid-back personality, almost exclusively attributed to her elven ancestry and love for nature. She's curious and will always mess with anything she finds mildly fascinating.

Anne is also that one friend whose shoulder will always be there, should you want to cry, and will comfort and empathise with others very easily. She likes giving out advice, regardless of the age difference between her and the recipient (she believes the most important thing about others' words isn't experience or age, but the different kind of perspective you get when listening to other peoples' opinions on a matter).

Sadly, however, she rarely truly opens up her heart to others. She hates being a burden and thus when people ask her if something's wrong, she will almost always brush it off as nothing and change the topic to irrelevant things. Few people have gotten her to open up to them and even fewer have seen her cry, as she unconsciously represses those feelings whenever they arise. Nevertheless, if you get to that level of trust with her, congratulations, you have earned yourself a true friend.

A patient soul, Anne always takes her time with everything she does, be it interacting with nature or other beings. This allows her to possess uncanny open-mindedness, enough so that, after a lot of time, allowed her to finally accept her half-elven racial background and all that it entails. She also doesn't really get angry. You'll notice that if you hang around her enough. She generally uses stupid words as substitutes for curse words sometimes and she just doesn't get mad. Anne has done a good job at not losing her temper over the years. She won't be mean to you if you piss her off a little because that's not in her nature. Pushing her to her limit is tough and well, let's just hope you don't.

Class

Name: Druid
Type: Melee/Ranged/Magical
Description: Within the purity of the elements and the order of the wilds lingers a power beyond the marvels of civilisation. Furtive yet undeniable, these primal magics are guarded over by servants of philosophical balance known as druids. Allies to beasts and manipulators of nature, these often misunderstood protectors of the wild strive to shield their lands from all who would threaten them and prove the might of the wilds to those who lock themselves behind city walls. Rewarded for their devotion with incredible powers, druids gain unparalleled shape-shifting abilities, the companionship of mighty beasts, and the power to call upon nature's wrath. The mightiest temper powers akin to storms, earthquakes, and volcanoes with primaeval wisdom long abandoned and forgotten by civilisation.

Aʙɪʟɪᴛᴇs

✔ Nature Bond: Plant (Class) & Nature Sense (Class)

As a druid, Annevar was given the chance to form a bond with nature. She was given two choices. The first was a close tie to the four elements of Air, Earth, Fire, and Water, granting her powers over one of them. The second option was to link herself with one of the three powers of change, Animals, Plants or the Weather. Annevar chose to follow the path of Plants and thus, is able to command plants to her will for various purposes like attacking, defending, binding etc.

The same link to plant-life has given Annevar the ability to sense her surroundings through plants, as well as communicate with them.

✔ Wild Empathy (Class)

Annevar, although specializing in plants, is also able to influence animals to some extent. To do so, she and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

✔ Woodland Stride (Class)

Due to her druidic training and spending the greater part of her life living in forests, Annevar has become adept in traversing forested areas with ease. Undergrowth such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain does not impede her travelling speed at all.

✔ Elf Blood (Racial)

Being a half-elf, Annevar has inherited the magical prowess uniquely attributed to elves. Due to this, she is generally capable of mustering more power than the average human magician. However, the fact that her blood is not pure makes it so she does not possess the full capabilities of pure-blooded elven magicians as well.

✔ Fast Learner (Racial)

Annevar has always been a fast learner, so much so that she's able to pick up almost anything with little effort, and if she likes it and finds it interesting, she's bound to master it very quickly. Her druid teacher, a pure-blooded elf, always said that such a trait is generally not found amongst elves and that she must have inherited it from her part-human ancestry.

Eǫᴜɪᴘᴍᴇɴᴛ

Apart from the clothes she wears, her cloak and her Ironwood staff, Anne does not carry with her many items. Nevertheless, she does have a small satchel hanging from her hip, in which she stores some essential things for travelling.

✦ 6 silver coins ( for the rare occasion that she decides to stay in town for the night, instead of sleeping on a tree of something )
✦ A few seeds of various trees/plants, such as apple trees and blueberry bushes.
✦ A necklace adorned with the claws of various animals, from land-based beasts like a bear to birds like the eagle.
✦ 1 minor healing potion.

• Pʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟ

  • Flesh Like Steel - Val is able to take as much damage as he's able to dish out. He has trained his body in the game, much like how he worked out in reality and has built it up to the point where he has become unaffected by normal attacks (ie. a swing from an average swordsman will not make him kneel immediately, etc). This benchmark allows Val to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects.
  • One-Handed Weapon Proficiency - Just because Val is mainly using swords should not be taken as a sign that he's a pure swordsman. His profession demands from him to be able to wield more than one type of weapon. Swords, daggers, axes, maces or any other type of one-handed weapon is able to take a life when used by Val. This benchmark allows Val to use if not all, most one-handed weapons with some degree of skill and efficiency.
  • Resolute Technique - Great tacticians learn that consistency often trumps potential. Val has also learned this, one way or the other. All his time practicing and fighting with swords has allowed him to reach a certain enlightenment about the use of the sword in a fight. It's not about swift attacks that come and go like the wind, or powerful attacks that rattle your opponent's bones, or even flashy attacks, that confuse and disorient the enemy.
    
    The key point to fighting and winning is always consistency. A steady stream of attacks, fluid and unending, one after the other, allows the opponent little to no chance of fighting back. This benchmark exponentially increases Val's accuracy when fighting with a sword.
  • Ambidexterity - The hardest part to fighting someone of equal skill is catching them off-guard. Val learned of this very early in his travels. To counteract this, with the coin he earned from the bounties, he sought out left-handed sword masters and learned from them how to wield a sword in his off-hand with equal skill. This benchmark allows Val to dual wield swords with relative ease.
  • Studious Combatant - It is a know and true fact that running towards a fight without preparation is plain stupid and a quick way to the grave. As such, Val has made it a habit of studying his opponents carefully, gauging their approximate skills and thinking about strategies to defeat them. This benchmark allows Val to discern an enemy's weak points more easily and thus, increasing his efficiency when fighting one on one. (In short, a boost in critical chance)
• Mᴇɴᴛᴀʟ

  • Dubious Networks - Wanted criminals, like bandits or thieves, never cease to move, lest they want to be hunted down by people like Val. Thus, in order to track down someone, Val had to become familiar with many places and their people. His network of acquaintances, be they lawful or shady, is quite wide-spread, and allows him to gather all sorts of information rather quickly, for the right price.
  • Deft Hands - The art of picking locks is one of the more subtle and skill-intensive things in Val's toolset. It requires a steady hand, a clear mind, as well as the knowledge of a lock's inner workings. Through trial and error, Val is able to pick simple locks, like doors, but struggles with more intricate lock designs.
  • Barricaded Mind - Not once, not twice, not thrice, but four times has Val fallen victim to a magician's mind tricks. All four times, he ended up failing to secure his target and had to escape with injuries. Having had enough, Val visited one of his few magician friends who passed on to him a set of techniques that fortify the mind against illusionary attacks. Although he has yet to fully master the technique, Valery doesn't deny its effectiveness. He can keenly feel the thin layers of magic wrapping his brain and shielding it, should he concentrate a little.
  • Adept Cartographer: Maps are one of the first things Bounty Hunters learn to appreciate. Val has turned this appreciation into a side profession of sorts. Those that might travel with him may find it odd when he suddenly whips out pen and paper and starts drawing random scenery. It's his way of remembering the topography of the place he is visiting so that he can then later accurately draw the maps he uses for his travels, as well as those that he sells.
  • One more for the road! - No matter how much he drinks, he never gets completely drunk to the point of losing all inhibition. The regular meetings with sources on taverns and bars, all the mingling in with the patrons in order to hear rumors or pick up on potential targets, all that comes with drinking. As a result, his tolerance towards alcohol has become quite impressive indeed.

• Land of Spring History

  The Land of Spring, formerly known as the Land of Snow by the world, went through a defining transformation following the years after the ascension of Koyuki Kazahana, the exiled daughter of the Kazahana Clan, to the position of daimyō. With her leading the country, research and development of new heating techniques enabled the country to finally rid itself of its icy shackles. Giant heating devices were installed all around the country and in a few year's time, the snow that had once been covering the country disappeared, now only ever seen on mountaintops or very remote areas in the north of the country.
  
  Concurrent with the weather changes, Yukigakure, the country's hidden ninja village, saw major changes to its political structure and organization. First of all, the name of the village was changed to Harugakure, so as to reflect the change in the name of the country. Further changes were made to the leading figures of the village, such as the ascension of a new Harukage, and a new Council of Elders. These people brought with them new ideas and a different philosophy when it comes to interacting with other hidden villages. Emissaries were sent to several other villages in order to foster good relations and potentially form alliances. This turned out to be a good move, as the Land of Spring's relative technological superiority to the rest of the countries gave it an edge, and posed as a reason for them to form an alliance with the Land of Spring and Harugakure.
  
  In the period after the Demon Wars, the Land of Spring experienced a mass surge of people migrating into the country, a direct consequence of the war. Coming from the mainland (namely the Land of Fire, Land of Earth, Land of Grass, Rain, etc.) these people integrated easily into the Land of Spring, and caused it to flourish even further. During the hundreds of years after the end of the Demon Wars and until the present day, the Land of Spring rose from its former position of irrelevance to the affairs of the world, to a country that could stand side by side with political behemoths such as the Land of Fire and Land of Earth. The Land's trade routes extended to major ports in the Lands of Lightning and Earth, making the Land of Spring a key piece in the trade relations between these two countries.
  
  Unfortunately, the death of the Vessels and the release of the bijuu into the wild spelled disaster for the rising Land of Spring. At first, the country's elite figures believed that due to the position of the country and its relative isolation from the mainland would pose as a barrier that would deter the bijuu from attacking the country. This reasoning proved to be somewhat correct; the country faced some attacks from the Three-tailed Beast, Isobu. Three-Tails, known for its affinity towards water, attacked and destroyed numerous port-cities of the Land of Spring.
  
  The major blow to the country did not come in the form of attacks against the country itself, however. What hurt the country the most was the destruction of one of its major trading partners, the Land of Lightning. The country depended a lot on exports/imports and trading between the Lands of Lightning and Earth by sea, and thus when one of the two was wholly destroyed by the rampaging Tailed Beasts, the country was brought to its knees economically. Thus, it didn't come as a surprise that, after the sealing of the bests, the country became a willing part of the Land of Earth's fledgling empire.
• Personal History

  As for Kaimu himself, the story of his conception is a wordy one, so I'm going to save you the trouble of reading through it. His mother was a jonin ranked shinobi of Harugakure that met his father, a then wine deliveryman, during one of her many missions. Things happened, and 2 years after their meeting, Kaimu was born.
  
  As a child, he was a feisty one, always out and about, on his own or with friends. He always loved exploring, and thus never missed the chance to do so whenever he could. When the time came for him to enter the Academy, it was like a fish returning to the water. His energetic attitude along with his quick wit and eagerness to learn the shinobi arts earned him the admiration of his peers. When he eventually graduated, he was approached by the Harukage's associates, offering him a one of a kind chance: to become one of the Emissaries sent to a different country.
  
  The whole family celebrated that day. Becoming a village Emissary was considered a huge thing back then, and still is now to some extent. Anyway, the next day he met with the Harukage himself, and he informed him that he was to be sent to Kyokujitsugakure.
  
  From then on, he pretty much became a Kyokujitsugakure shinobi, went on missions for the village etc. It was during that time that he learned and practiced Katon. Much to his instructor's amazement, he had a very high affinity for Katon, adding to his already impressive affinity for Suiton. This triggered something inside of him, something he couldn't really understand himself. Only after traveling back to his homeland and visiting his clan did he get an answer.
  
  The high elder of the clan was equally unsure about what it was, but then a stroke of inspiration struck him. He quickly ran off to somewhere, and when he came back, he was carrying a huge, dusty book. He quickly skimmed through the book until he found a specific page that talked about a Fujita clan leader from way back. What was so special about him was the fact that he had a peculiar affinity for Suiton, Katon, and Inton. Furthermore, that clan leader had actually managed to combine these three nature transformations to produce a new, fourth transformation that he dubbed Alcohol Release, a Kekkei Tōta. Apparently, the set of genes that allowed the clan leader to form this Kekkei Tōta were partly inherited by other generations and thus couldn't manifest the ability until now.
  
  After the initial shock passed, Kaimu and the elder agreed that it was better to keep the news of him having this ability a secret, since Harugakure's political situation at the time was unstable. I'd only been a couple of decades since the Land of Earth absorbed it after its economic collapse. Kaimu was advised to return to Kyokujitsugakure and act like nothing was out of the ordinary.
  
  After returning, he slowly started experimenting with this new power, practicing it in secret. Until now, you can count the times he's used the power in a mission on one hand. Those few times that he's used it, he was a) on a solo mission, and b) his enemies were swiftly dealt with.

Kekkei Tōta: Alcohol Release (酒遁, Shuton)

K E K K E I T Ō T A

---

Clan: Fujita Clan of Harugakure (prev. known as Yukigakure).
Description: Alcohol Release (酒遁, Shuton) is an advanced nature kekkei tōta that allows it's user to defend and attack, using Alchohol (酒, Sake).

Alcohol in a general, non-chemistry sense, describes alcoholic beverages, drinks which contain ethanol. It is water-like, water-soluble, it causes a burn-like sensation, and it's flammable. Shuton, however, is not restricted to only ethanol but extends to other chemicals that are categorized as alcohols as well, such as butanol, ethanol, methanol, antifreeze etc.

This nature is composed of Fire, Water, and Yin Release.

• Alcohol Release: Weaving Dragon
  Type: Ninjutsu
  Nature: Shuton
  Class: Offensive
  Range: Short to Mid Range
  Handseals: Dog → Tiger → Dragon
  Description: After molding the three chakras inside his/her body, the user inhales deeply before spitting the molded chakra out of his/her mouth with force. The chakra takes the form of two dragons made of alcohol, coiled around themselves, that shoot towards the target, dealing moderate damage and soaking the target with alcohol.
• Alcohol Release: Spring Dragon Bullet
  Type: Ninjutsu
  Nature: Shuton
  Class: Offensive
  Range: Short to Mid Range, Area of Effect
  Handseals: Dog → Tiger → Monkey → Tiger → Boar → Dragon
  Description: After molding the three chakras inside his/her body, the user quickly spins around him/herself whilst shooting numerous, tiny, orange-colored dragons (alternatively can focus on one specific spot). The dragons stick to whatever they come in contact with, dealing minor damage. However, If not quickly dealt with, the liquid from the dragons will seep inside the body of the affected through their pores and quickly intoxicate them. How drunk one gets is directly affected by the number of dragons that landed on his/her body, which means the more dragons hit one person, the more chances that person has to be heavily intoxicated, as well as their tolerance to alcohol.
• Alcohol Release: Breakaway Wave
  Type: Ninjutsu
  Nature: Shuton
  Class: Offensive, Defensive
  Range: Short to Mid Range, Area of Effect
  Handseals: Dog → Monkey → Boar → Monkey → Rat → Dragon
  Description: This technique shapes a large amount of alcohol into a giant, powerful wave, which hits the opponent with formidable might, dealing physical damage. Alternatively, and depending on the skill of the user, the wave can be controlled to stay in one place suspended and thus, act as a barrier against incoming projectile attacks, other jutsu etc.
  
  The ideal place to use it is near a body of water, but if the user's skill allows it, it is possible to use it even in a place where there is none. The amount of alcohol used will be in proportion with the user's skill.
• Alcohol Release: Fragrant Blade
  Type: Ninjutsu
  Nature: Shuton
  Class: Offensive, Supplementary
  Range: Short Range
  Handseals: N/A
  Description: Infuse an edged weapon with Shuton chakra, giving it increased strength, durability, and sharpness. The weapon also get a slight increase in its range, as the chakra envelops and solidifies around it. Wounds inflicted by the chakra infused blades apply intoxicating alcohol straight into the target's bloodstream, increasing their chances of getting intoxicated.

ASPECT DESCRIPTION
Defining the aspect of strife with mere words is difficult, for strife is dynamic and everchanging. It is an ever growing, cosmic power that seeks to move, pull apart and undo all bonds that tie together.

Consider the following example (which is only one of the most basic interpretations of strife); when a mother strikes her child, she might do it out of love and concern, and to punish bad behavior. The child might listen to their mother, or they might not, it does not matter. What is important is that the seed of strife is planted at that very moment into the both of them. This poisonous impetus drills into their very psyche, latches into their subconscious and slowly but surely changes their personalities and behavioral patterns. The mother, for example, will be more inclined to resort to corporal punishment in the future as, from her point of view, she had evidently succeeded in disciplining her child using said punishment method. However, the child might become more rebellious and antagonistic as a result of this.

Hence the sacred bond of parenthood, the love that a mother has towards her child, are twisted and warped beyond any recognition. In the end, the child, having grown up in an abusive home, might become a petty and vengeful person that harbors repressed feelings of resentment and rage towards their parents. Then at some point, they might be prompted to act upon these feelings in a very, very unpleasant way.

The above is but one of the many environments within which the aspect of strife dwells. This ever-present conflict of instincts, interests, ideas and everything in between is what Nuleavaromasasthuva feeds and thrives upon, using it to weave the strings of fate in a way that will further whatever goal she might have in mind at any one moment.

Thieves, plebes, murderers, kings, everyone and anyone could come to benefit from joining Nuleavaromasasthuva's network of worshippers. As vast as the night sky and deep as the depths of the sea; where there is conflict, the demigoddess is bound to have her threads woven around it, giving her a wide berth to maneuver herself within the Galbar and spread her influence among the populace.
