Healing Factor
RP: Through the traits of his bloodline, Moro had learned to control his blood, able to summon it to leave his body for numerous techniques. It could be used as a bomb, a poison, or even hand held weapon. Having mastered these techniques, he begun to change his focus. Instead of using his blood as a weapon, perhaps he could use it as a tool to heal himself. Through tedious practice, Moro would learn the intricate workings of his body. Eventually he could even be able to control the flow of his blood, able to send it where it was needed the most and away from areas where it was gushing out. Through this, his body could heal, albeit only a small amount.

Quickdraw
RP: Through vigorous repetition, any action could theoretically become reflex. For a shinobi, the ability to draw a weapon faster than an opponent was in the highest tier of importance. As such, all shinobi using weapons practice the action of drawing it out as often as possible. Some became more talented than others. Having your sword drawn before your opponent could mean the difference between life and death. Moro spent years practicing the intricacies of a quick draw and continued to practice. New weapon? Practice. Old weapon? Practice. A shinobi could never stop training his abilities unless he wasn't worried about losing them.

Bull's Strength
+5% Weapon DMG, +3% Bleeding
RP:Strength. Having the power to do something. Sometimes, what needed to be done was as simple as moving something. An obstacle blocking the path, a large object soaring through the air towards an adversary, or a particularly heavy door. Having the raw power to move heavy things wasn't a requirement to be a good shinobi, but it certainly didn't hurt. For any shinobi seeking to increase their strength, a routine regiment of exercise and lifting heavy weights was the only way to obtain it. The gym became a second home to many shinobi not preoccupied with a mission. Moro spent a decent amount of his time in the gym, but not nearly enough to call it a second home. He had a little help getting to the level of strength that he had. His ability to control his blood flow, dispersing it to certain muscle groups while training them and cycling in fresh blood to help the muscles recuperate had drastically shortened the time it took for him to become stronger. Overtime, Moro's strength was something to be admired. He was able to easily move objects that other men couldn't budge.

Clarity
RP:A fool accepts the world around him while a wise man questions his very existence. There was some level of benefit to having a certain amount of paranoia. It was difficult to trust the world and if one was raised in the life path of a shinobi, they knew that they could, at times, not even trust their own minds. Genjutsu existed as a means to defeating shinobi too well versed the arts of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. Genjutsu allowed you to alter the perceptions of anyone. The only way to defeat someone using Genjutsu was to know that they were using Genjutsu. Which, if they were a skilled Genjutsu user, the afflicted would have no idea. It was this premise that drove Moro's mind to paranoia, except, he preferred a different term to describe his distrusting mind. "Clarity."
If he trusted no one, no one could break his trust. If he expected traps, he could not be tricked. The same principal applied to Genjutsu, the craftiest method of deception. On a vigilant watch for all changes to his perception, both big and small, Moro would become much more proficient in detecting the use of Genjutsu. And as powerful as it could be, simply being aware was half the battle in dispelling it.

Duelist
RP:While proficient in the art of manipulation via his spectacular vernacular, close combat was where Inkosi Moro thrived. The thrill of so close to death, engaged in a mortal struggle with another person. Moro's specialty was Taijutsu. Master of the blood claws his ancestors had bestowed upon him, he would frequently take fight to close proximity. He enjoyed holding another man's life in his hands. He respected his endowment of abilities that made it easier for him than most and he chose to pay that respect to the owner of the life he would play with. His attention was set to one person at a time. He was aware of his surroundings, of course. He was, after all, he was a shinobi, but he would usually be at a disadvantage when receiving their attacks as he was focused only on the struggle with only one individual. The benefit to this was that his attacks landed more smoothly, harder to dodge and hurting substantially more.
[WC:164]
Deflection
RP: Moro's blood lust and general disdain for any techniques not performed by stabbing or cutting someone might lead an onlooker to believe that he took no time to practice defending against incoming assaults. This onlooker, however, should not jump to such conclusions and perhaps not think themselves so highly and knowledgeable that they're able to know the intricacies of Moro's mind based on the actions watched over the course of a few moments. No, Moro was no fool. He knew when to take a defensive stance as well as how to defend when in the middle of his own attack. Through mastering his own actions, he learned to read the actions of others, becoming able to reduce the damage done to himself by others and sometimes completely redirecting it towards their own allies.
