Name: 聖なる太陽の道 Shinken Nittou-Ryū (Sacred Sunlit Sword Style)
Type: Style
Weapon: Katana and Wakizashi
Description: Shinken Nittou-Ryū is the ancient, elite weaponry style passed down throughout the Minamoto Clan Dojō since the founding of Cathay and in truth the clan itself which coincided with the nation's founding. Shinken Nittou-Ryū would only be passed down to the Inner and Outer Disciples, the inner disciples coming from within Minamoto Clan herself whereas the outer disciples were invited once having reached First Dan in the Bushido School of Swordsmanship. Shinken Nittou-Ryū can be utilized with either Katana or Wakizashi, however works best when used with both; relying on speed and agility over brute strength. The style consists of the basic stance and master stance; the basic stance 朝日 Asahi (Morning Sun) utilizes a high guard similar to that of the morning sun rising over-head, and holds the sword at eye level and to the side with both hands firmly gripped.The master stance, イブニングムーン Yorugatsu (Evening Moon) relies on the sword being held before the chest diagonally forward, or if dual-wielding one sword held this way and the other at the side, perpindicular to the right leg.
Secret Techniques
Name: Ryūsenkonran (Dragon's Flash Flurry)
Rank: D
Type: Katana
Description: A series of quickly-timed attacks delivered to the opponent, the speed of the slashes makes this technique more difficult to defend against with blade and is considered best to wear down opponents which can't match the practitioner in stamina eventually leading to an opening for further attacks. Ryusenkonran has a cooldown of three posts once used.
Name: Onmyō Kōsa (Shadow-Light Cross)
Rank: D
Type: Wakizashi
Description: The practitioner will block the opponent's incoming attack with a metal scabbard (which is required for this technique) before striking with his Wakizashi when the opponent least expects the counter-attack, leading to defense turning to attack such as in the old Cathay proverb. This technique is able to turn away attacks of equal rank to the technique. Onmyō Kōsa has a cooldown of two posts once used.
Name: Ryūkuusen (Dragon Sky Flash)
Rank: C
Type: Katana
Description: Initiated after a powerful leap which brings the practitioner soundly above his opponent, the practitioner uses the momentum of his fall to strengthen a two-handed sword swing that brings his blade down on his enemy's head or shoulder. Due to the placement of the practitioner above his or her opponent, this opens the opponent to vulnerability. This technique is usually preceded by some sort of distraction, though not always. Ryukuusen has a cooldown of four posts once used.
Name: Jissen Kenbu (Clashing Swords Dance)
Rank: C
Type: Katana and Wakizashi
Description: The practitioner utilizes the full potential of the Katana and Wakizashi dual-wielded to create a field of effect up to three meters (10 ft.) away from himself, any who enter this area will suffer at the hands of either katana or wakizashi, or perhaps even both if they enter the space of up to five feet from the practitioner. This technique has a duration of two posts starting on the practitioner's next post and a cooldown of four posts once used.
Name: Doryūsen (Earth Dragon Flash)
Rank: B
Type: Katana
Description: Enhancing one's muscles and gaining an extra strength advantage purely for use in this technique alone, the practitioner strikes the ground with his or her katana, resulting in the convex crater forming and shrapnel of earthen stone flying directly ahead of the practitioner as far as twenty feet before dissipating. This technique is usually performed with the pommel but can also be done with the blade. This technique has a cooldown of three posts once used.
Name: Kaiten Kenbu (Dance of the Wheeling Sword)
Rank: A
Type: Wakizashi
Description: The practitioner grasps the Wakizashi in reverse grip then spinning the wakizashi while moving in a dance-like maneuver to slash the opponent three times with the Wazikashi. The slashes are brutal and deep, leaving behind severe wounds, and the technique relies on the agility of the practitioner. This technique has a cooldown of six posts once used.
Name: Kuzuryūsen (Nine-Head Dragon Flash)
Rank: S
Type: Katana and Wakizashi
Description: A dashing attack that uses superior speed and agility to simultaneously strike all nine vital spots on the foe's body from a normal bushidō stance, as each of these nine points are the main targets for different sword styles. These strikes are made with both Katana and Wakizashi in tandem combined with graceful footwork turns the movements of the technique into a dance-like maneuver. Regardless, should all nine attacks be successful, this technique could spell death for the opponent. If even one misses, this technique can still deal a severe wound. This technique has a cooldown of six posts once used.
