Muramasa's Disciple

Muramasa's Disciple

The great Muramasa was a genius at swordplay and created many of the kenjutsu known to practitioners of the blade, but the strongest of them was selfishly kept to himself. He created a kenjutsu that allowed him to cut through anything; including the very soul of a person. He then stole a number of his brother's miraculous swords and started wars across his clan's homelands to increase the landholdings they have today that reside in every known country. Originally only to awake in the Nanjirou clan, Muramasa and his disciples become something that eventually infected the world. Now any weapon master who finds themselves bathed in blood, war, and anger have a chance to awakened the heritage of Muramasa in their veins, and draw from the darkness in their own soul to wreak havoc and terror on the battlefield.

Demon Steel - Kinjutsu Ability

A weapon held by those who share Muramasa’s savagery on the battlefield inevitably changes to fit their user. The weapon often begins to tint to a pitch black color in their grasp and gains an unnatural fortitude in it's design. When the disciple draws a weapon they've poured their hate into, the very air around them becomes tainted with a heavy force that can carve into the opponent’s psyche. Many believe that those who carry Muramasa’s curse also carry a demon, a creatue of war and death that lives either wthin themselves or the weapons they hold.

Blood Splattered Cherry Blossoms - Kinjutsu Ability

When standing near a true weapon master, one can feel a certain weight in the air at all times. Even without a weapon drawn, those that partake in the martial arts of kenjutsu, sōjutsu, or even kyūdō have an air about them as a member of a death club that utilizes their skill via a drawn weapon. The Disciple displays this same air with six-times the menacing aura with their weapons completely sheathed; as that weapon can simply appear in their hand at any moment. Their movements are fluid and hypnotic, leaving no space in their attacks for a counter that everyone on the battlefield can feel.

Low Tide - Variable Taijutsu

Among the numerous kenjutsu that the Nanjirou use, this one is considered a “forbidden” technique due to its difficulty to master and how even attempting it has killed many clansmen who have tried. Said to be a technique that was mastered by Muramasa yet never fully passed down to any heir, the only knowledge of this strike are in scrolls written during the many wars he waged by witnesses. The handful of Disciples who have mastered this were all considered monsters in their own right, and it is believed that to use the Low Tide strike, one must also steep their soul into the very trenches of the self.

Kanzen Saimin - Variable Taijutsu

The technique that made Muramasa comparable to his brother via infamy. Mastered and kept to himself, it is a technique that can only awaken in those who carry the burden of violence. Once the heir seeps themselves into the darkest pits of their own soul and masters fear, they become aware of an “invisible world” where they can see through an opponent’s attacks and techniques by viewing past the flesh and into the very soul that resides in every opponent. This attack can strike not only the body, but the very spirit itself, and leaves a lingering weakness that is often the first step towards an inevitable defeat.

Unleash the Oni - Buffing Taijutsu

Legend has it that in his final confrontation with the last samurai lord willing to stop his conquest, Muramasa made a deal with a demon to give him the lost youth he had sacrificed in his conquests. What was presented to him instead of youth was a path into the inner darkness within himself and how to use it to cloak his body. This was the power he had sought to stand against his brother and their noble descendants and, though he still died in that final fight, he did not go alone. This technique has since lived on inside of the world itself, like a curse, that affects only the most depraved warriors the battlefield has ever known; showing itself to those true to the original master.

S-Rank - Mikadukwimikô - Buffing Taijutsu

The Disciple of Muramasa is a creature of combat honed to many techniques and methods to kill not only a person's physical shell, but their spiritual one too. Yet the most powerful of all of Muramasa's techniques was one that is simply an alteration of an old Nanjirou technique taught to every member in their infancy. It is the power to call upon the Ancients that reside within their bloodline to give them the strength to wield and use the clan's Ancient Weapons. Muramasa, having been cut off from the Nanjirou Clan and their ancestors eventually discovered a way to tap into not the dead memories of the past, but the battle hardened memories stored within his own soul. By drawing on the power, adrenaline, and purpose of every fight he had ever been in, Muramasa found a way to become stronger and more powerful with every fight he won. This allowed him to leave a wound that would not recover on his opponent's souls that would do them in even if they managed to escape the warrior.
