Hanzo Hososhi

Ever since he was young, Hanzo had been a very curious being, how things worked exactly didn't really matter to him, at times actually spoiling the magic but learning names and ideas and categories came to him easily. It was this that made it easy for his father to begin teaching him about the Yokai, their names and their abilities.

This knowledge and keeping mostly to libraries kept Hanzo mostly to himself and out of the way of others resulting in him not making many friends or really learning how to make friends. This has resulted in Hanzo being very shy and quite quiet, although he's always happy to show people the interesting things he's found or has recently learned.

His teachings with his father and the secrets kept from him however have made him determined to become stronger than his father, strong enough that whatever darkness he holds back can finally be given over to Hanzo and his father can at last rest. His determination comes in a lack of shame and desire to grow stronger, regardless of how many times he gets kicked down as long as there's a benefit he will keep at it.

Hanzo was born under strange circumstances, in fact most people close to his father are unsure he was even actually born at all. The mother was never seen or spoken of and though the child shares a lot of physical traits with his father... His father is not a Ronin.

However, despite this, Hanzo's father has treated him with love and simply told him that dark forces took his mother away. He taught Hanzo all about the Yokai and the dark forces lurking beyond, his area of focus, and began teaching Hanzo about exorcism rites and how to craft simple charms.

When Hanzo told his father that he wanted to join the academy, his father wholeheartedly approved of it and began to tailor his training to suit, adding in simple combat training and breathing exercises to keep him focused even during the dullest of classes. However there has always been a darkness around Hanzo's father, strange whispers from behind doors leading to nowhere, darkness that shifts and watches. His father refuses to talk about it though, stating that once Hanzo is old enough and strong enough, he will be ready to accept a dangerous task that will teach him everything he needed.

Name: The Fist of Tao
Classification: Fighting Style
Rank: B-Rank
Class: Varies
Range: Varies

Description: Tao is the flow of energy through the world and through all beings. Through manipulation of this energy one is capable of incredible feats however this fighting style doesn't quite go that far. Instead it starts working on the basics with the Tao flowing through seven distinct aspects; Neutral or Void and then the Six Primary Elements. When learning this style, one usually focuses on a Tao aspect and becomes attuned to that aspect, gaining its effect. Hanzo's use of this style is unique however in that his maskless self is attuned to Void but every Yokai Mask that he creates is attuned to a specific Aspect of Tao and when wearing that mask and being part of that transformation, his Void Tao changes to that mask's Aspect instead. For example when wearing an Oni Mask, he becomes Aspected to Earth for the purposes of this style. Techniques of this style have a normal form and then an Aspected form, the Aspected form is usually more powerful but unless you are Aspected to that form of Tao, will cost recoil to use while the base form is just normal Taijutsu. Being Aspected can increase the recoil required to use Aspected Forms of opposing elements.

[Insert Name]'s Aspect =

Aspect - Effect
Void - Recoil prices for non-Aligned Aspected Forms reduced by one rank(Minimum D-Rank)
Life - Technique Scale increased by one multiplier(eg 1x to 2x), Void Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.
Water - Counts as having balancing technique equal to rank, Earth Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.
Earth - Knockback from techniques equal to rank and lower are negated, Lightning Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.
Lightning - Taijutsu gains innate piercing one below rank, Wind Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.
Wind - Size category is counted as one larger for movement scale, Fire Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.
Fire - Opponents count as one size smaller for damage reduction purposes, Water Aspected Forms cost one rank higher recoil.

Name: Fist of Tao, Di Bu: Stone's Gift
Classification: Taijutsu/Kinjutsu
Rank: D-Rank(Optional D-Rank recoil)
Class: Defensive/Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: A simple yet effective defensive technique for use against physical techniques that might pierce through normal defenses. The user sets their stance and intercepts the physical attack with a cross block with both arms, spreading the force evenly across multiple surfaces reducing the actual damage dealt. If the user has defense tiers then this technique simply reduces the damage the attack inflicts by a number of tier levels based on the user's defense before applying defense and if they do not possess defense tiers, it lowers the damage by a single tier level.

Earth Aspect: Drawing on the Tao of Stone itself, the user awakens the grinding aspect of Stone. The damage reduction from a lack of defense tiers is slightly increased however the true aspect of the Earth Tao is that it causes returning damage to whatever hit them in physical damage, the amount being based on the user's rank.

Defense - Reduction(TL) - Aspect Reduction(TL) - Damage Return
D - 1 - 2 - 1 D
C - 2 - 3 - 2 D
B - 3 - 4- 3 D
A - 4 - 5 - 4 D
S - 5 - 6 - 5 D

Name: Fist of Tao, Feng Bu: Gales in the Valley

Rank: D-Rank(Optional D-Rank Recoil + 3 D-Ranks of Blood)
Class: Offensive
Range: Contact

Description: Drawing on the whirling, howling winds, the user draws on their strength and lashes out with a high number of blows. Although individually these blows are weak, together they disorient the opponent and weaken the sense of balance akin to being caught in a swirling whirlwind. During this technique, dependent on the user's rank they are able to lash out with a number of blows, each blow however only deals D-Rank physical damage but dependent on the victim's endurance tiers, if enough blows land then the victim will become Dizzy, causing them to fall over if they attempt to use tiers over their Max lasting for 3 PT.

Wind Aspect: The aspected form of this technique draws on the Tao of Maelstroms to bring forth darker and more malicious winds. The number of strikes available increases and each strike also deals D-Rank spiritual damage rather than physical damage.
