Name: Struggle Gaze: The 1st Struggle
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: D
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cleo was born in the struggle, shaped and molded by it. She learned early on that only those who were perceptive enough to know when to disappear, where to find useful materials, what to look for, who to talk to & why the struggle was so real. This technique was refined overtime, allowing her reaction speed to be honed as she grew up, resulting in this Reaction + Speed Tier Chain. This technique grants Cleo D-rank Reaction++ Tiers, when she is utilizing her eyes to perceive something however when without her impressive sight her reflexes are so honed that she can fulfill a D-rank Reaction+ Tier check with ease. This technique is most useful when attempting to see through concealment techniques whether personal or area concealment as well as reacting to high speeds seeing as one of it's composites is the Cypher specific Reaction Tiers.
Rank of User - User's Speed Tier (Rank of Speed capable of Reacting to)
D - Tier- (Tier+)
C - Base (Tier++)
B - Tier+ (1-rank Above Tier-)

2 Ds of Blood per post (total) for the Raidengan's 1st Stage
Hearing increased to Raised; Smell, Touch and Taste decreased to Reduced
Echolocation allows Zaku to track A-Rank and below Speeds within 20ft of himself

First Stage - In this stage the eyes gain two jagged patterns as more chakra courses into them further improving one's clarity of vision preventing motion blur from those moving at C-rank speed. The user's eyes are now capable of picking up electrical impulses as well as electrical fields produced through electrolocation allowing them to analyze and recreate D-rank Lightning Release techniques upon seeing them in battle after which the Denkou can train them after the topic. In order to activate the user must possess 5 D-ranks, 3 C-ranks & 1 B-rank Lightning Release technique.

Name: Past Confrontations: Blindness

Original Rank: D
Count: 0/10
Current Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Due to being blinded by his master the user has learned how to offset their loss of one sense by heightening their other senses. It is a natural phenomena which is more typical among those who have been blind for several years however through Past Confrontations the body adapts to compensate for their disability. With subsequent retraining's the user is able to focus on one of their newly enhanced senses albeit lowering the others in response.

Name: Past Confrontations: Echolocation
Classification: Taijutsu
Original Rank: D
Count: 0/10
Current Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Req. Past Confrontation: Blindness. Due to being blinded the user has learned how to detect objects in their environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating sounds – for example, by tapping his sword, lightly stomping his foot, snapping his fingers, or making clicking noises with his mouths – people trained to orient by echolocation can interpret the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, accurately identifying their location and size. This is typically restricted to those who were blind at birth due to their brains naturally being wired differently than those with sight, with practice even those who became blind later in life are able to use it for acoustic wayfinding, or navigating within their environment using auditory rather than visual cues. It is similar in principle to active sonar and to animal echolocation, which is employed by bats, dolphins and toothed whales to find prey. With subsequent retraining's the user is able to detect things using their Echolocation at a farther distance, due to relying on sound the user is unable to utilize this technique to detect those travelling past the speed of Sound (A-rank+ & Above) without advanced techniques.

Name: Sanguine Heat Arts: Heat Clone
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: B-Rank (C-Rank Blood Price)
Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Mid

Description: The Heat Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates unique clones that are able to shift their forms from physical clones which is destroyed by a single blow but resembles him perfectly, to an invisible to normal eye sight clone which can only be detected by life-force or heat vision. In this form it is much stronger however it loses the ability to hold physical weapons due to its gaseous state, instead however it is also unaffected by taijutsu. It now requires a B-rank chakra based technique in order to be destroyed which is hard enough due to its relative undetectable nature and when it comes in contact with a B-rank or below weapon, said weapon melts instantly thanks to the heat. It can also deal up to 3rd degree burns to an opponent (B-Rank Heat Release Spiritual Damag), causing them to receive C-Rank pain per post until they are healed by a Medical Kinjutsu B-Rank or higher. Those with Pain Resistance receive half the usual pain while those with Pain Immunity are unaffected. However due to the nature of these clones, only half the usual number can be made.

Mashin Raidengan Stage 2 reveals things which are hidden as long as they are not concealed by something above a B-rank concealment technique. (Heat Clones are B-rank thus she can see them.)
Gate of View Opened (Janice's Tiers are now) = SS-rank+ Speed, A-rank+ Strength & B-rank+ Endurance
Total Pain Janice has sustained for the Activation of those Gates = 15 D-ranks & 1 C-rank of Pain
Eight Gates Duration = 5 + 3 (Rank) + 10 (Gate of Life in Prime) - 0 (Gate of Pain in Prime) = 18 P.T (17 after this post)
Magnet Release: Chakra Armor grants = SS-rank++ Speed & SS-rank+ Reaction.
Morning Peacock = 15 Punches each clocking at SS-rank++ Speeds to deal A-rank Fire Release Physical Damage upon impact aimed at clones.

Description: This dojutsu is forbidden within the Denkou clan due to the way it is obtained, it involves first killing another member of the clan draining the Vitreous Fluid of the victims dojutsu & mixing it with drawn blood from themselves before drinking the mixture. This causes intense pain before their dojutsu mutates into it's corrupted version granting them the ability to harness Magnet Release. Those who possess it are banished, for being kinslayers and are hunted down by other Denkou.

• Activation - In this stage the user's perception increases as the clarity of their vision becomes more sharpened preventing motion blur from those moving at C-rank speed. Utilizing this the user becomes able to notice muscle movement allowing them to "predict" physical actions to improve their reaction speed even further. In order to activate the user must slay their kin.
  
• First Stage - In this stage the eyes gain a Siwolo Rune within the pupil as more chakra courses into them further improving one's clarity of vision preventing motion blur from those moving at B-rank speed as well as detecting things which blend into the background as long as the camouflage technique is not above a C-rank. The user's eyes are further enhanced allowing them to detect D-rank electromagnetic forces while their ability to detect electrical impulses is further enhanced allowing them to analyze and recreate A-rank Lightning Release techniques upon seeing them in battle after which the Denkou can train them after the topic. In order to activate the user must experience blindness as the fear of being without sight pushes the dojutsu to evolve further.
  
• Second Stage - In this stage the eyes gain two more Siwolo Runes further improving the clarity of vision preventing motion blur from those moving at A-rank speed as well as detecting things which blend into the background as long as the camouflage technique is not above a B-rank. The user's eyes are now capable of detecting C-rank electromagnetic forces as well as analyzing and recreating S-rank Lightning Release techniques upon seeing them in battle after which the Denkou can train them after the topic. In order to activate the user must possess must fall in love completely and utterly with another person the emotional state of the user causing their dojutsu to evolve further.
  

Name: Keimon - The Gate of View
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: A (C-rank Pain Activation + B-rank Phy Recoil Deactivation)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The Sixth of the Eight Gates, which is located in the stomach, increases the user's speed to SS+. Opening of this gate releases such enormous amounts of energy that it can cause nearby water bodies (and other liquids) to form a vortex around the user as long as they are within a 4ft radius of the user. Depending on the liquid swirling around them the user is able to replenish their fatigue by a set amount each post (total) due to the moisture provided, however due to the vortex effect they never make contact with the liquid and thus pose not risk of adverse effects as long as this gate is activated or until the user activates another gate and is still surrounded by said liquid. Upon replenishing the user's fatigue the liquid is dispersed away from the user's body preventing them from immediate harm upon deactivation or activation of a higher gate. While active due to the pain of activation the user is broken out of up to C-rank genjutsu, including those which are normally incapable of being broken out of through pain. Regardless of the user's pain threshold due to the chakra coursing through their body, the pain associated with the activation of this technique will not cause them any adverse effects until after this technique has been deactivated. When deactivated, the recoil from this technique results in the user sustaining C-rank times (x) the number of posts (total) this technique was active in Pain in addition to B-rank Physical Recoil Damage.

Name: Morning Peacock
Classification: Kintaijutsu
Rank: A
Class: Offensive
Range: Short, Mid (Knockback)

Description: Requires Gate of View to be Active. The Morning Peacock is a certain-kill taijutsu born from the philosophy of the Strong Fist. The principle of this taijutsu is to rapidly increase the body's abilities by opening up to and including the sixth of the Eight Gates, and then to strike the enemy down with countless punches. The technique is started by kicking the enemy into the air, which for most would be an instant kill depending on how high the user's tiers are, if the victim does not possess defense tiers or a means of defending form the attack. Regardless the victim is launched 40 feet into the air at vacuum release speeds unless they possess at least A-rank strength to tense their body upon impact (Strength Tiers can increase the Strength Req to Negate Knockback). The user then jumps into the air in a distinctive stance and begins punching the enemy repeatedly with opponents lacking an air movement technique A-rank or above + speed equal to the incoming punches being unable to dodge the follow up. The punches are so fast, they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction which in turn creates a peacock-like fan of flames around the opponent each punch thrown subtracts a -1 from the user's fatigue limit to deal physical fire release damage equal to the user's strength tiers. As a result the number of punches launched is only limited by how much the user decides to exert themselves while requiring opponents who block to keep up their guard over multiple posts (total) otherwise they fall prey to the constant barrage of punches, depending on the user's skill the number of punches they can throw per post (total) varies. Once the attack is finished, the enemy will be sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack's aura their body often engulfed in flames to deal constant A-rank fire release damage unless they possessed A-rank defense tiers to negate the status effect.

Name: Denkou Style - Magnet Release: Armor
Classification: Nintaijutsu
Rank: SS-rank (Variable Activation Price & Duration)
Class: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Self

Description: The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra using chakra flow that, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate the user's nervous system granting them increased perception when used with natural tiers to make them exceed even samurai. The technique also speeds up neural synapses to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed when used with natural tiers to make them exceed even samurai. This mode, combined with taijutsu, allows the users to utilise nintaijutsu. When using the armour at full power, it causes the tips of the user's hair to spike up and her reflexes are said to be comparable to those with Muscle Tension, making it difficult even for the Kyougan to keep up with them. The Denkou Clan's mastery of this technique far exceeds other Magnet Release user's based due to their ocular prowess with an active Raidengan and affinity to the Magnet Release due to being of Denkou descent to maximize their use of this technique as they imbues her body with Magnet Release chakra. This refers to a Denkou Clan user's Magnet Release: Armor's activation duration equating the duration that they can keep their Raidengan active however in Janice's case by possessing the Mashin Raidengan and being taught this technique by Cole she learned how to preform it. This is dependent on the type of Raidengan the user possesses to determine the activation price of this technique, likewise due to surrounding their body with Magnet the user is encased in it requiring a SS-rank Defense Piercing technique good against Magnet release to even damage them.

b]Name:[/b] Nimbus: Cloud Generation
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D
Class: Passive
Range: Self, Varies

Description: The Arashi are capable of producing pearly white Materia known as Nimbus which resemble clouds which manifest when the user is focused or emotional. Often called Nimbus clouds, they are integral to the use of Storm Release as an Arashi Clan member will shape Nimbus and may or may not saturate them with chakra to give rise to Storm Release techniques. Nimbus clouds are controlled telekinetically having a deep connection with an Arashi's mental state and each Arashi is able to produce and control more Nimbus clouds as they grow more skilled (rank). Similarily they all have a max threshold of Nimbus that they can control on the field at once without strain, under normal circumstances without resulting in self harm this can not be exceeded. When Nimbus are used up in Storm Release techniques however it eases the mind allowing more Nimbus to be produced when "space" is made available.

Name: Storm Release: Lux Nimbus
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: D-rank (1 Nimbus + D-rank Chakra or Variable)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Nimbus)

Description: This technique is required to be learned to utilize any Storm Release techniques of the Lux Tempest Nimbus Storm line. This technique results in one of the clouds the Arashi possesses turning a sparkling white as it becomes imbued with Lux Tempest Variant Storm Release growing in size to equal to Arashi clan member. The cloud itself gains the ability to uniquely attract Lightning based techniques (Ghost Lightning & Raiden Release is included) when contact is made with an opponent lacking a D-rank Endurance + Strength Tier Chain, an object without D-rank Magnetism Resistance & Electricity Resistant or any D-rank techniques from Releases weak against the Lux Tempest form of Storm Release. Upon this unique magnetism being established the techniques are attracted to them at 1 Tier Level faster than before. The method of creating a Lux Nimbus: Cloud is by infusing a Nimbus with a D-rank of Raiden (White) Release chakra which is done instantly or 2 Nimbus while possessing the ability to utilize Lux Tempest Variant Storm Release (Req. Joukai Raidengan with White Raiden's Lightning) which produces Lux Nimbus at speeds 1-rank slower than the user's Nimbus: Cloud Control.

Name: Storm Release: Hiding within the Clouds Technique
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C-rank (1 Nimbus + 1 D-rank of Chakra)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Long, Combo with Hidden Mist Technique (AOE)

Description: This is one of the few Storm Release techniques which doesn't make use of the variants. The Nimbus seems to rupture causing the air to become cloudy obscuring vision and causing those with chakra sensory techniques C-rank or below to detect the user's chakra signature spread over a 40 ft radius around the cloud. This technique requires a D-rank Wind Dispersal technique in order to clear it up and restore vision. When used however within the Hidden Mist Technique this technique is powered up by the former now spreading over an 80 ft radius around the cloud in question now requiring a C-rank Wind Dispersal technique to clear the area of it.

Name: Second Reaction
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank:C-rank
Class:Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cypher naturally have better reaction speed and have inbuilt senses which allow them to detect small changes and point out things that seem out of the ordinary. This sense of battle grants them the ability to react to C-rank speeds even if they don't possess sped tiers and detect opponents who are being hidden by C-rank hiding techniques. In addition when they do possess speed tiers it gives them the ability to react to speeds up to 1 rank above their own as long as it doesn't exceed their rank.

Lack of Intent
Janice is a B-Rank, rendering her Reaction and Dojutsu useless when attempting to counter Zaku's Kenjutsu if he is using A-Rank or above speed.

Current Rank: C
Class: Passive
Range: Self

Description: Xan has hailed himself as something of a kenjutsu master, he knows it, those who have fought him or alongside him know it, and Zaku being Xan's student not only knows it but will eventually be it. But what exactly does the title Kenjutsu master ultimately mean, to Zaku it means the ability to chain kenjutsu techniques in one flowing motion without pause and without hesitation like his mentor. This momentum is generated from the moment a kenjutsu strike is launched allowing Zaku to follow up with kenjutsu after kenjutsu to prey on those who attempt to simply outlast a strike. When this is done, the strikes work in tandem to bring down defenses which would otherwise negate them. This combined damage is dealt over and over while stacking like a combination technique to eventually weaken and thus cut through an existing defense or structure. When utilized in combination with Two Handed it's power truly shines as Zaku is capable of delivering kenjutsu strikes which break down opponents through sending reverberation of pain (half of the damage that was supposed to be dealt) to the body parts holding their weapons or that they used to block if they lack a proper parrying/blocking technique equal to the rank of kenjutsu he is preforming. Sure enough it has it's drawbacks as to unleash multiple strikes consecutively is tiring in terms of stamina depletion but the gain is well worth the risk.

Name: Iai Dividing
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: SS-rank
Class: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short-Range

Description: Adhering to the principles of Iaidō, the user performs a quick and powerful slash with their sword in order to slice the air/water, before immediately sheathing the blade afterwards. This is a frightening technique which is limited to use by only the most skilled in the drawing art of Iaido. This technique forms a Vacuum at Ripping Discord Speed which literally rips apart S-rank and below chakra based techniques that get caught in its range. It is due to this feature that it is used to defend against powerful attacks however it can also be used as a powerful counter to opponents. When an opponent has a speed below their speed & reaction tier this technique can be used to mortally wound if not kill opponents that are within 5 feet of the opponent as the vacuum (S-rank Physical Damage) rips the bodies into two pieces if they lack Defense+Strength Tiers while bypassing defenses to still inflict the damage if they possess it albeit not cutting them in half (inflicts A-rank Bleed damage each P.T). However if the opponent made the mistake of being already read the post by Iai Prediction, Precognition, Premonition or Flash Precognition this technique can be used to force trigger the use of a get out of jail free-card.

Name: Tenmestu Style Secret Tech: Heaven Bridging Dragon Spark
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: SS-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short

Description: This is the one strongest kenjutsu tech known to Tenmestu and can only be achieved after one has literally cut through Tenmestu Style: Nine Dragon Crash, no amount of training can give a person access to this jutsu.

This is a two step jutsu that is composes of only two strikes with the second strike being much more deadly than the first. The first strike revolves around drawing the user’s blade at blinding light speeds. The user draws leading with their right leg, to avoid slashing themselves. Then they quickly follow with the left so they do not cut off their leg or lose momentum of the swing, that left leg is the final step the user makes right after they draw their sword putting them directly in the opponent’s zone making it so that the opponent rarely has time to counter before the draw is made and they are cut up as unless they possess S-rank reaction tiers they merely hear a scraping sound due to the blade moving through the air/water.

But that is only the first swing. Because the user is in the opponent’s zone they are on the border of life and death meaning if they were to hesitate for a moment their opponent can easily take advantage of them being so close and kill them, or simple block the first swing assuming they have SS-rank reaction tiers or speed tiers 2-ranks higher than the Tenmetsu user for the former. If the opponent was to block the first swing, the air pushed out by the block creates a vacuum by the spinning force of the second swing pulling them closer to the Tenmetsu Style samurai at Ripping Discord speeds. The Vacuum created results in SS-rank defense piercing for the follow up slash causing victims to be bisected cleanly in half unless they have means to move in the air naturally or possess speed equal to the user to utilize a jutsu during the split second one requires to slice them up.

Name: Shizukana Shi
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: D-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Shizukana Shi, also known as Quiet Death is the Arashi Clan signature fighting style. For generations the Arashi clan has worked tirelessly to create a method of dispatching opponents that it would become their trademark. Such an opportunity was granted when Rayne Arashi created Molting Step. The premise was simple a sudden coiling of the muscles before moving caused opponents who were not focusing intently on him to be unable to track his movement. It's drawback however was that it was easily able to be detected by those with Muscle Tension or time-slowing dojutsu as well as the distance it could cover with one movement. Shizukana Shi was the systematic refinement of fighting opponents using Molting Step revolving around assasination without the opponent not only noticing what killed them but those around the target not hearing the death in question.

Name: Nimbus: Morphing
Classification: Kenjutsu/Shurikenjutsu/Kyujutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: An Arashi with sufficient practice can learn how to morph a Nimbus into another shape, it was on this premise that this skill was created by generations of Arashi clan members. The user is capable of altering the shape of the Nimbus into a weapon, whether a melee weapon such as a sword, a projectile such as a shuriken or a ranged weapon such as a bow with additional clouds being used as ammo. All the weapons made keep the durability of the cloud that they were made from and they are extremely light due to being made form the Nimbus. Despite that they are able to be used in place of the weapon that they were shaped to be dealing Storm Release Physical Damage when used in combat.

Name: Shizukana Shi: Silent Kill
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: A simple yet lethal technique when employed correctly which involves an Arashi Clan member utilizing the Molting Step in order to disable at worst, or at best kill someone. There are three ways of doing such; the first being grabbing an opponent by the cloth on their neck or back and preforming Molting Step or any of it's variations, the second being intercepting a target moving at a slower speed than the user within the distance of two of the Arashi clan members steps and finally the third which involves palming a targets face at the immediate end of the distance between two of the Arashi Clan members steps. In the first case "grabbing a target" if they do not possess the speed tier the Molting Step is occurring at or Defense Tiers equal to that speed their neck is snapped due to the rapid increase in velocity. In the second case "intercepting a target" if they do not possess the speed tier the Molting Step is occurring at or their speed is not being backed by strength equal to said speed their neck is snapped due to the sudden change in velocity in a direction the victim was not originally going in. In the third case "impacting a target" if the target does not possess defense tiers equal to the speed the Molting Step occurs their neck is snapped, if they do not possess strength to root their body in place however their body is sent flying from the impact.

Name: Molting Step
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: D-rank (D-rank Blood Price Each Step taken)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: Molting Step revolves around the user first hyperventilating in order to increase the heart rate thus allowing their blood to flow quicker through their body. The user then follows up by coiling the muscles in their legs before kicking off the ground and crossing a set distance at high speeds before taking another step. This distance is constant regardless of the speed used, with higher speed having the distance they are capable of travelling in a single post (total) being directly added onto this technique. During this movement opponents without D-rank Reaction Tiers, 1-rank Higher Speed, Muscle Tension or a Time-Slowing Dojutsu are unable to track their movement. This technique sets the precedent for all Categories (advanced variations) that come after it. As the user becomes more skilled at the use of Molting Step they can increase their distance however those Arashi Clan members who were unfortunate enough to be born with damaged chakra coils are capable of mastering it further by reducing the number of steps taken over said distance.

Name: Shizukana Shi: Immortal Step Minimizing
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: S-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Molting Step while powerful is inherently flawed in comparison to other movement styles, it requires the Arashi to be calculating with exactly when or where they move as a misstep causes them to waste valuable life-force. Over time however the Arashi discovered that among those members of the clan who had parents, grandparents or any ancestry who regularly used Molting Step that their bodies had seemingly adapted to the strain to create modified Endurance Tiers who's sole purpose was to reduce the strain from preforming Molting Step. This is the second of such and works to decrease the number of steps by 11 (If Normal Arashi), 7 (If P.A.T Arashi) or 4 (If T.A.T Arashi), thus having a minimum of 1 Step at S-rank.

Name: Nimbus: Cloud Control IV
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: A-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self (Clouds)

Description: Sharply contrasting with their ability to produce Nimbus is the percentage of Arashi who are actually able to finely control them in battle. When this technique isn't learned the fastest Nimbus is only capable of moving at Crashing Ground speed. Once learned however it affects not only the speed that Nimbus Clouds can move but likewise the speeds that they can be manipulated to change in density, size and shape. More importantly this technique was learned by Arashi due to it's ability to speed up the time that a Storm Release technique can be weaved together to A-rank Levels.

Name: Molting Step: Category 3
Classification: Kinjutsu
Rank: A-rank (1 B-rank Blood Price Each Step taken)
Class: Supplementary
Range: Short

Description: This is an improved version of Molting Step increasing the speed that the user moves while simultaneously causing those who aren't focusing on the user (A-rank Reaction Tiers) to be unable to detect their movement (Req. Enhanced hearing to hear steps). The main improvement however is by combining it with Shizukana Shi: Silent Movement allowing the user to use them simultaneously resulting in a silent movement technique which is primarily used by the Arashi in place of a speed tier. When using this technique slower than usual (Category 2, Category 1 or Molting Step) for the same price, double/triple/quadruple the distance can be covered for the same number of Steps.

Name: Kana-Ryu
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: B
Class: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Self (Req. Draw)

Description: A hybrid of Iaido and the electricity harnessing style of Return Stroke which involves the utilization of the draw of a sheathed weapon to activate ones displacement aura which strikes out akin to lightning. With Kenjutsu mastery it is possible to fluidly chain both of the techniques of it's composite styles with Kana-Ryu. This kenjutsu style is quite unique simply due to the nuances of Displacement Aura as it isn't visible to normal eye-sight including Weapon Sensory (Unless one has Electrolocation or a Dojutsu capable of reading electric signals) however those capable of detecting it will note that not only does her Displacement Aura seem to strike like lightning but it's path through the air is akin to electricity. It takes aspects from both, with the kenjutsu of this style not only being capable of intercepting hand-seals but likewise the user's Script can be transmitted through their displacement aura modifying their original form for use in or to aid Kenjutsu. Unlike Return Stroke & Iaido however Kana-Ryu has a shorter strike range, being useful for more close combat purposes than it's composites and mixing the speed of Iaido annd harnessing the properties of Return Stroke to make a versatile yet deadly strike. The true power of this style however comes from it's ability to discharge the kenjutsu of this fighting style into opponents akin to electricity repeating the damage albeit at a lower level to multiple opponents. This unique effect is only possible through Gelel Prices which determine the distance at which these slashes are discharged while the user's skill level can determine how many targets can be affected by the discharged slashes at once.

Rank: A
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Cleo was born in the struggle, shaped and molded by it. She learned early on that only those who were perceptive enough to know when to disappear, where to find useful materials, what to look for, who to talk to & why the struggle was so real. This technique was refined overtime, allowing her reaction speed to be honed as she grew up, resulting in this Reaction + Speed Tier Chain. This technique grants Cleo A-rank Reaction++ Tiers, when she is utilizing her eyes to perceive something however when without her impressive sight her reflexes are so honed that she can fulfill a A-rank Reaction+ Tier check with ease. This technique is most useful when attempting to see through concealment techniques whether personal or area concealment as well as reacting to high speeds seeing as one of it's composites is the Cypher specific Reaction Tiers.

Name: Twin Moon Dance: Full Routine
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: S-rank
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: The Denkou user, moves their body in an elaborate playful dance step resulting in opponents reliant on muscle tension to be unable to predict their movements, due to being a dance it is tiring and Denkou without S-rank Endurance Tiers will consume double (2x) the stamina in comparison to the normal use of speed when using this technique. Likewise it can be used as a subtitute for S-rank speed tiers by those of the Denkou Clan with most female Denkou preferring to learn the Twin Moon Dance over the usual method of bolstering their speed through training.

Name: Iai Slicing
Classification: Kenjutsu
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Short-Range

Description: Adhering to the principles of Iaidō, the user performs a quick and powerful slash with their sword in order to cut the intended target, before immediately resheathing the blade afterwards. This technique is a powerful C-rank technique simply due to the speed in which it is preformed as it can slice a person moving at C-rank speed as if it was nothing. In addition when the user has speed tiers the damage is increased by 1-rank above the user's speed tiers, if they have reaction tiers above C-rank the speed of the opponent they can slice is increased to be equivalent with their reaction tiers.

Name: Samurai Saber Technique
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: C-rank
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact (Sword), Varies

Description: Unique to Samurai, this technique employs the concept of energy (Chakra, Nen, Life-force, Natural Energy etc) flow in a similar manner to the Flying Swallow and other chakra imbued kenjutsu techniques. Through the use of energy flow, the user channels their energy through their swords, extending both the reach and cutting ability of the blade (Short-Mid), while allowing the user to fire crescents of energy whenever the blade is swung (Mid-Long). The samurai have also shown the ability to use shape transformation during the implementation of this technique, sculpting their respective energy blades into various rudimentary weapons that extend beyond the natural dimensions of their original swords; such as broadswords, spiked shafts and even axes. This capability allows them to rely on smaller swords, sword hilts or even snapped or broken swords, while attaining greater reach, damage and the possibility of conducting surprise attacks as necessary. Multiple shapes can be formed each one having it's own word-count and each taking a D-rank technique slot upon being learned while when the mid-range version of this technique is used all Short-range Kenjutsu techniques have their range increased by +20 ft.

Chakra used by this post = 1 SS-rank, 1 C-rank & 3 D-ranks.
Upon sealing both corpses = 1 SS-rank, 1 C-rank & either 6 (if only Janice is cut in half) or 7 D-ranks (if they are both cut in half)

Class: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Self

Description: Req. Enraged. Espinas in their rage are capable of causing their scales to harden and protrude upward ever so slightly with the ridges being capable of inflicting damage onto an opponent incapable of piercing them equivalent to the strength of their defense tiers. While this isn't possible normally it could be thought of a defensive adaptation where they enhance the strength of their protective scales through their strength tiers shrugging off the damage from physical based techniques and inflicting wounds on an opponent depending on the strength used to "flex" their scales.
