Murakami Mikizu

[Mikizu]

Name: Murakami Mikizu
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Sex: Female
Rank or Occupation: Genin

Spoiler: Appearance

Appearance: Mikizu has silver hair reaching down to her back. Standing at an unimpressive stature of 4’0” even, she isn’t turning any heads. She weighs around 50 pounds. Being a half-breed, half-oni half-human, she has a horn that will periodically show from time to time if she becomes angry enough for it to appear. Her bluish green eyes compliment her favored indigo dress that she always wears when not fighting. She will wear other clothes however if the occasion calls for something warmer or much classier than her favored dress. Not only does her dress and eyes compliment each other but, her shoes are quite silver as well matching her hair perfectly as if they were made of the girls own hair. She wasn’t much for jewelry but one thing she did have that was always worn at all times was a silver bracelet that was on her non dominant left wrist.

Spoiler: Mental Description

Mental Description: Mikizu is quite cheerful and can always be found with wide eyes and a wonderful smile on her face. She has always been one to treat others with respect. Not only does she respect others but goes out of her way to help others to the same extent a mother would go out of her way to help their child. Mikizu makes it a point to help all those she can sometimes forgetting about taking care of herself. Often times she will look as if she is a complete mess because she has been focusing on someone else’s health rather than her own. She doesn’t like to express her own emotions however to others rather help them with theirs. Even when asked about her own emotions she will dodge the question or do almost anything she can to avoid giving a truthful and full answer as she finds it very hard to talk to others about her feelings and emotions.

Spoiler: History

History: Mikizu was born in the leaf hospital to a “surrogate” mother. Her father didn’t have a woman of his own, so he went to the hospital for a donor and received one. The donor’s eggs that were used were that of a half-breed from a smaller country. Once Mikizu was born her father took her in and loved her as his own raising her on his own with no mother figure in her life. She was always taught at a very young age respect was a very important thing and that respecting your elders was simply something you should always do. Her early years were filled with love and admiration of her hard-working father as he was always a hard-working man. He ran one of the farms in the Leaf Village and was always working on the farm to make sure that Mikizu could have a wonderful and beautiful life filled with all her desires and dreams.

Noticing that she was always interested in his ceremonial weapons on the wall he let her play with a cheaply made sword that he had lying around in the barn. She seemed to really enjoy using it and smiled very brightly whenever she would be allowed to use the weapon. Once Mikizu turned 7 however her father took away the weapon without warning for a month or so. He also removed all the other ceremonial weapons around the house seemingly having hidden them all from her sight and reach. She was quite upset about this and complained to him daily about this wondering why he had to go and remove one of the greatest joys she had in her life.

He didn’t ever give her an answer however and brushed off the question. She eventually realized that he wasn’t ever going to give her a real answer about it and ceased all questions about it accepting the fact that he had removed them all. The rest of the year passed on for her as she did all the normal things that a seven-year-old would do like playing ball with friends outside and hanging out doing childish things around the village.

Mikizu’s eighth birthday passed as if nothing happened which was unusual as her father loved embarrassing her with fancy birthday parties inviting all her friends and doing funny little games. On her eighth birthday however, her father wasn’t even home which had never happened before. He was always there when she got home most days and he had never missed her birthday like this. Worried she looked all around for him on the farm not seeing a single trace for her to track him down with or even recognize he had been there all day. Giving up after having looked around for him all day she walked in her room tossing herself on her bed exhausted from running around the village and farm looking for her father. As she threw herself on her bed, she heard the sound of something hitting the floor. Hearing this she quickly jumped out of the bed and walked over to the opposite side of the bed. Laying on the floor in a beautifully black case was a katana with a small note on it written in her father’s hand writing. The note read “Sorry I couldn’t be here to give this to you myself as I have had some business to attend to in a nearby village. This katana has been passed down in our family for generations(spiritual). The reason I took away all the other weapons was so that you would not become too attached to them before I could give you this one. This is the weapon of our ancestors and it is passed down from generation to generation. I never found use for it when my father gave it to me however I believe you will have a lot of use for this. Happy birthday baby girl.” As she finished the note a tear fell down her face as she picked up the katana and held it close to her hugging it tightly. She stayed like this crying and hugging the katana until she passed out completely exhausted from the day’s events.

Mikizu from then on was never found without her katana. She slept with it and loved it as if it was her own little baby. She couldn’t stand to be away from it and loved learning more things about how she could wield it better and more effectively. She used it against the barn for practice which would often get her in trouble with her dad. Realizing she wasn’t going to stop her father suggested that she apply as an academy student.

Taking this offer she quickly surpassed the other students in the academy and was recommended for the Genin exam very early on. She practiced furiously day in and day out before the exam. On the day of the exam she was very nervous what she was going to have to do. Once she arrived for the exam it was explained that it was a two-part process and that both parts would have to be passed for the student to become a Genin. The first part was a written test which she did quite well on. She was towards the top of her class for that but not the absolute best either. The next part was sparring other classmates one on one. She was the first one to go as she volunteered to go first. Her opponent was also someone wielding a katana which made it a very interesting fight. They both fought very hard dodging and lunging at each other gracefully as they tried to best one another. Eventually they both tired however and each went for a final strike which ended the battle. Mikizu had finally beaten her opponent and passed the exam becoming a Genin.

Nanjirou

A distinct clan of samurai that has been the source of some of the greatest swordmasters throughout the land. Renown for the lethal finesse they display in their sword fighting with some of the most ancient blades, a Nanjirou is said to come of age only when their ancestry awakens within them; gifting them with spiritual link to their ancestors that can be evoked to display advanced techniques honed through generations of experience.

Ancestral Weapon - Passive
The Nanjirou believe that the best ending to their life is to be as they lived; paired with a blade. Their remains are used in the forging and reforging of blades both new and old, quite literally infusing a part of them into their swords. It is for this reason that their are a myriad of unique weapons in the clan, each with their own history and displaying traits of those who came before. Many blades have a spirit within of one of their ancestors that serves as a guide to the Nanjirou as they live their life and grow in power.

Rank 1: Upon gaining this bloodline the user must designate a single Slashing or Piercing weapon as their Ancestral Weapon. Attacks made with this weapon gain one of the following alignments and the associated effect;

• Spiritual Twice per round, the user may perform two Wrath Seal actions to the same attack with this weapon. Both require a focus point.
• Holy The weapon protects the user against the first 175/275/400/550/675 damage that hits the wielder each round, increasing with the user's out of character rank D/C/B/A/S.
• Cursed Each round the user's Ancestral Weapon siphons 1% of their maximum health into a special Bloodlust Pool. Whenever the user performs a Taijutsu with their Ancestral Weapon, for free, they may choose to spend Bloodlust as well which increases the base damage of their attack by an equal amount to a maximum of +500 Base Damage.
  • The Bloodlust Pool has no maximum cap and cannot be affected in any form other than spending or adding Bloodlust.

Rank 2: The Ancestral Weapon gains +1 Critical.
Rank 3: Critical bonus from Rank 2 no longer applies to caps.

Note:
- The user may only have a single Ancestral Weapon.
- The flavor regarding having an ancestral spirit within the weapon is still subject to the ghost NPC rules.
- The Ancestral Weapon must be stated in their Dojo thread. It and its alignment may be changed by remaking the chosen weapon.

---

Bushido - Passive
Fitting for a clan of samurai, the Nanjirou are ingrained with a code of honor and pride before they even learn to speak. Due to carrying within them the blood and spirit of their lineage, the failure of oneself is seen as the failure of one's ancestry; to be the cause of such shame is not an option to them. The more a Nanjirou is pressured, the more of their Ancestry awakens.

Rank 1: The user gains +0.5 to all Secondary stats each time they lose 30% of their Max Hp, capping at +1.5 Secondaries.
Rank 2: The user is treated as having the Hidden Power ability (This does not require an abilities slot).
Rank 3: The user gains +0.5 to all Secondary stats each time they lose 15% Hp of their Max Hp, capping at +2 to their secondaries. So they gain a bonus at 85%/70%/55%/40%. If the user elects to fill one of their ability slots with Hidden Power, the cap is increased to +3. So they gain a bonus at 85%/70%/55%/40%/25%/10%.

Note(s):
- If the user has Hidden Power granted for free by a source which is not Bushido then the user is counted as having filled one of their ability slots with it even though the ability is not currently taking up an ability slot.

Wrath Seal - Activated Passive
The core of what separates a swordsman and a Nanjirou is their ties to their clan; the Nanjirou have the unique ability to invoke visions, emotions, and perhaps most importantly, techniques, of their predecessors. A misnomer, the Wrath Seal is a trance they enter that allows even a young Nanjirou to display advanced swordsmanship by channeling the power of an ancient grandmaster. This is no free power though; the trance is exhausting, and difficult to maintain during battle for an extended time.

Rank 1: Grants the user 1 Focus point upon activation and each round active. They may perform the Dancing Blade, Energy Slash and Vantage options.
Rank 2: Grants the user 2 Focus points upon activation and each round active. The user may now perform the Vorpal Edge option.
Rank 3: Grants the user 3 Focus points upon activation and each round active. The user may now perform the Lethality option.

One Focus point may be spent to add one of the following effects to a Slashing or Piercing attack;

• Dancing Blade - The user may add +1 target to an attack. The user deals -10% damage for the remainder of the round; this stacks indefinitely each time used in the round.
• Energy Slash - The attack does not count as Melee Contact.
• Vantage - The user may attack a stealthed target that they failed an awareness check on at -5 accuracy.
• Vorpal Edge - When Battoujutsu is used, it does not suffer from the damage penalty gained through the Dancing Blade or Uncanny Dodge Nanjirou skills.
• Lethality - Doubles both the Critical buff limit and any Critical bonuses the user has, but halves the user's critical damage modifier.

Cost: 1 Ap to activate. 4% Max Cp/Rnd active

Notes:
- Unused Focus Points carry over to the next round, but cap out at a maximum of 5.
- Focus points modify an entire action, not just an individual hit.
- An attack may only be modified by a single Focus point (with the exception of a Spiritual Ancestral Weapon.)

Iaijutsu Mastery - Bloodline Fighting Style
Through many years of training, the Nanjirou have developed a code: "Wherever we may be, we must be prepared." With this code in mind, they have developed a stance to adjust to every situation. Their sword is constantly sheathed, and they may quickly draw it and redraw it. There are a number of variations but any skilled Nanjirou will have their fearsome Battoujutsu at the ready.

Rank 1: Jigen-ryu -- The user's Piercing and Slashing Taijutsu attacks with their weapon while in this stance do +5% more damage.
Rank 2: Mugai-ryu -- Taijutsu attacks done with this style are modded 0.25 AP faster (costs are still paid in full).
Rank 3: Kensei-ryu -- The user takes +15% Damage from all sources, however their class Evasion stat is considered High.

Special Action - The user may choose to only select the "dodge attack to sheath weapon" effect of this style without any of the other effects. If so, this does not take up the user's physical style.

Cost: 0.5 AP to enter stance.

Note:
- At all ranks, upon dodging an attack the user may sheath their weapon for no cost. This is considered a Smart Action, and will be done automatically.
- Can be used with -Any- Slashing or Piercing Weapon.
- No attack can be modded as if they cost less than 0.5 AP.
- While in the Kensei fighting style, the Nanjirou's damage buff cap is reduced to +25%. Additionally, any "beyond the cap" damage buffs they have are halved.

Battoujutsu - D Rank Buffing Taijutsu
The infamous quickdraw technique of the Nanjirou. In the hands of a Nanjirou a sheathed blade is more dangerous than a drawn one, and in the blink of an eye they can unsheathe and strike at their enemies. With few people outside of shinobi having the necessary reflexes to react, the Nanjirou became famed for their "one-hit kill" swordsmanship.

Rank 1: The user equips a Slashing or Piercing weapon and attacks with a Taijutsu; If the attack rolls a critical, the modifier is increased to x2.1 Critical damage.
Rank 2: The user equips a Slashing or Piercing weapon and attacks with a Taijutsu with +1 Critical range; If the attack rolls a critical, the modifier is increased to x2.2 Critical damage.
Rank 3: The user equips a Slashing or Piercing weapon and attacks with a Taijutsu with +2 Critical range; If the attack rolls a critical, the modifier is increased to x2.3 Critical damage.

Cost: No Ap; increases the Cp/HP cost of the attack used with this by +30%.

Note:
- The weapon must be sheathed at the start of this attack.
- This attack cannot benefit for critical attack bonus' from any other source (such as Human Anatomy) put it can be stacked with Nanjirou's Ancestral Weapon.
- This may be used with and gain bonus' from Nanjirou's Lethality.
- Smart Action - The user will automatically default to using Battoujutsu when attempting to attack with a sheathed weapon when possible.

Temporized Slash - C Rank Bloodline Slashing/Piercing Taijutsu
When facing a Nanjirou, one should never let their guard down, even when they believe themselves to have the upperhand. A technique performed by sheathing their sword in invisible chakra and slashing, the Nanjirou seals the wound right away through the use of the chakra and causes it to go unnoticed by the victim until they choose to release the chakra and open the wound. Often seen involving the user passing by the enemy in an apparent miss...Until blood suddenly gushes from multiple wounds at once.

Rank 1: Deals 1170 damage at -1 Accuracy. Damage dealt by this technique may show up as either a miss or hidden action (user's choice).
Rank 2: Deals 1460 damage. Damage dealt by this technique may show up as either a miss or hidden action (user's choice). Additionally, the user may choose an additional attack used during the current round or the next to be modded similarly.
Rank 3: Deals 1825 damage at +1 Accuracy. Damage dealt by this technique may show up as either a miss or hidden action (user's choice). Additionally, the user may choose an additional 2 attacks used during the current round or the next to be modded similarly.

Cost:
Rank 1: 1.75 Ap, 350 Cp
Rank 2: 1.75 Ap, 420 Cp
Rank 3: 1.75 Ap, 480 Cp

Notes:
- Attacks chosen to be hidden/missed may only be Slashing or Piercing Taijutsu.
- Lasts until the end of the following round, at which point all 'stored' damage is dealt at once.
- A target cannot be affected by multiple uses of Temporized Slash at once. Being hit by this Jutsu while already affected releases any stored damage from the previous use.
- 'Stored' attacks make their initial to-hit check at the time of use as normal. However, damage is not dealt until the time it is 'released'.
- If a 'stored' attack inflicts an effect such as bleeding or a debuff, it is applied upon the initial hit as usual but is 'hidden' from the mod until stored damage is released.
- Attacks still break binds as usual, despite the damage not being applied at the time of the hit.

Uncanny Dodge - C-Rank Bloodline Taijutsu
There are few people whose raw speed and reflex can rival that of a Nanjirou swordsmaster. Their swiftness can seem unnatural, as if aided by some jutsu effect or other influence, but it is simply the result of their willpower to endure their clan's intense physical conditioning.

Rank 1: Once used, the user will auto-dodge the next level E-B Jutsu that hits them. The user may use a single Special Action.
Rank 2: Once used, the user will auto-dodge the next level E-A Jutsu that hits them. The user may use a single Special Action.
Rank 3: Once used, the user will auto-dodge the next level E-A Jutsu that hits them. The user may use both Special Actions.

Special Action - Razor's Reflex: Requires Wrath Seal to be active. The Nanjirou may spend a Focus point when using Uncanny Dodge to make a basic melee attack against the attacker, dealing damage equal to 20% of the attack's intended damage.

Special Action - Hidden Warrior: By paying 0.5 additional AP at the time (not at cast) the attack is auto-dodged, the Nanjirou may attempt to enter stealth at -1 stealth bonus.

Cost: 1 Ap; Cp equal to 30% of the triggering attack (CP cost is paid upon the triggering attack but the AP is paid on cast).

Note:
- This cannot be used reflexively. This must be cast before the attack they attempt to auto-dodge.
- This is an activated auto-dodge.
- May only be used once per round, even if Acrobatics is an owned ability.
- May use both special actions at rank 3, and only a single one at rank 2.
- After usage, the Nanjirou deals -20% damage for the remainder of the round.

---

Sword Trance - B-Rank Bloodline Buffing Taijutsu
Calling forth the spirits of their ancestors, the Nanjirou manifests their willpower and soul in a form of living blade that dances around them. To the eyes of a stranger, they would appear like gleaming steel that appeared out of thin air but for the Nanjirou, each and every single blade was once a part of their living bloodline, aiding them in their techniques - refining them with their wisdom.

Effect: The user generates a certain amount of Living Blades each round and the user may choose to expend 1 Living Blade into their Basic Attack, offensive Bloodline Technique or Slashing/Piercing Taijutsu to grant it an additional effect. If the user is equipped with their Ancestral Weapon at the time of cast, the Living Blade user gains the effect under their weapon's Alignment instead.

• Base - Attacks done with a Living Blade gains it +2 Accuracy.
• Spiritual - Attacks done with a Living Blade uses the target's Genjutsu Save instead of their usual Dodge in the roll, and may perform a single Wrath Seal action without requiring a focus point.
• Holy - Attacks done with a Living Blade recovers the user's health by 175 / 275 / 400 / 550 / 675, scaling from the user's Out of Character Rank (D / C / B / A / S).
• Cursed - Attacks done with a Living Blade will siphon 1% of the target's maximum Health and adds it to the user's Bloodlust Pool.

Rank 1: Generates 2 Living Blades.
Rank 2: Generates 3 Living Blades.
Rank 3: Generates 4 Living Blades.

Cost: 2.25 AP and 1% max HP to activate, 1% max HP/round to maintain.

Notes:
- Lasts for 3 rounds and has a round cooldown after the end of the duration.
- The user can only hold up to 6 Living Blades at a time.
- The Light/Dark versions do not stack if used with an attack hitting multiple targets at once. Light will only heal the user once per attack, and the Dark variant will only add the highest damage dealt amount to the user's Bloodlust Pool.

Crescent Arc - B-Rank Bloodline Slashing/Piercing Taijutsu
The Nanjirou's mastery over their body is paralleled by the mastery they have over their own mind. Able to feel their own bodily energies they are able to harness their spiritual wrath tangibly. They release an arc of energy from their sword from afar. This pure energy is disruptive to the chakra coils in their opponent, often exhausting their adversaries long before they achieve victory.

Rank 1: The user strikes once dealing 825 Taijutsu damage and an additional 825 chakra damage.
Rank 2: The user strikes once dealing 980 Taijutsu damage at +1 Accuracy and an additional 980 chakra damage.
Rank 3: The user strikes once dealing 1,165 Taijutsu damage at +2 Accuracy and an additional 1,165 chakra damage.

Special Action: For -1 to the attack's accuracy this attack may target a second target. This may stack up to three times.

Cost:
Rank 1: 2.25 Ap, 655 Cp
Rank 2: 2.25 Ap, 780 Cp
Rank 3: 2.25 Ap, 885 Cp

Notes:
- Can be used with Melee or Ranged Accuracy.
- If used with Ranged Accuracy, this attack has a second chance to hit if the initial use was a miss; this can only occur once per round. This energy strike deals 80% normal damage at -3 Accuracy.

---

Tsubame Gaeshi - A-Rank Bloodline Slashing/Piercing Taijutsu
In a single decisive strike fabled to never miss, a Nanjirou can take down a weakened foe. The voices from their ancestors call out the them and some say that they can see the face of these ancient warriors in place of the man living this day or that their hands guide the blade of their descendant. The strike is the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and so powerful it cleanly splits solid stone.

Rank 1: At + 3 accuracy the Nanjirou attempts to strike down a single target dealing 2650 damage. This attack cannot target a clone or an unintended target.
Rank 2: At + 3 accuracy the Nanjirou attempts to strike down a single target dealing 3050 damage. This attack cannot target a clone or an unintended target and cannot be auto-dodged.
Rank 3: At + 3 accuracy the Nanjirou attempts to strike down a single target dealing 3505 damage. This attack cannot target a clone or an unintended target, cannot be auto-dodged and can target an opponent in stealth as if they were regularly targeting an opponent (but this is done at -3 accuracy).

Cost:
Rank 1: 2.75 Ap, 1400 Cp
Rank 2: 2.75 Ap, 1750 Cp
Rank 3: 2.75 Ap, 2100 Cp

Notes:
- May only be used once per round.
- If the opponent was in stealth when they were hit with this attack, this attack does not take them out of stealth but they would take the full damage of this attack.
