Custom Taijutsu Styles

Hien (Swallow in Flight)

History and Development: Hien (Swallow in Flight), started out as a simple fencing technique created and passed down through the earlier generations of the Tsubame family. But as new members began joining into the family and training in the technique, the style evolved and slowly developed into what it is today. Family members can be as young as six years old when they start training in the family style and are drilled in the basic art of fencing on a daily basis.

This fencing style was name 'Hien' for several reasons. One was in association with the family name 'Tsubame' which can be translated as 'swallow'. It was also called Hien because of the way the style is taught in regards to a swallow in flight. Just like a swallow heading out on it's first flight, the first stage of this style contains moves that are simple and require less skill and movement but as one progresses along the style they achieve a higher level of agility, endurance, grace and skill like that of an experienced flying swallow. While flying, the weather can be unpredictable meaning that the swallow has to be prepared to go up against any type of weather. Base on that theory, the techniques within this style also varies depending on the need of the user and range from being really fluentent and swift or just plain simple yet tricky.

Hien's swallow style of fencing brings chakra control and swordmanship to it's highest level, to where the user's rapier becomes a tool of extension for their own chakra. Utilizing the basic stances of fencing, the Hien style expands these with chakra to extend, empower, and control ordinary footwork and bladework beyond the average warrior. As the style passes hands, it grows, forcing it to take new forms with every user. Through the use of the style, the blade often comes aglow with chakra extending the effect of the attack even beyond the range of the blade itself. expert practitioners have even been said to be able to enhance their blades to a fine enough point to pierce steel with a straight thrust. The movements of the style are graceful and smooth, often described as a dance around the opponent more then a form of combat, though those at the receiving end would never truly agree.

Weapon Associated with style: Rapier

Rules:

1. User must be Agile and is most effective with the 'Combo' Ninja Type.
2. User must have some sort of tie to the Tsubame family (family or highly regarded diciple)
3. Style can only work in regards with a rapier so at least one of the user's custom weapons have to be a rapier .


1st Flight (available at the rank of Genin)

Required Growth: The user has just begun training with the rapier and has yet develop the proper amount of skill and agility/footwork to wield it efficiently. In this stage, the user starts with the basic techniques of fencing while slowly building up their endurance and agility. (This level requires 7 posts of endurance/agility training to master... and 3 posts for each technique.)

Maneuver(s) Learned

En Garde (Stance) - The standard starting stance of any fencer, the En Garde stance is the perfect balance between defense and attack. when set, if the fencer holds this stance for a post, without making any other attack or using another maneuver, the next Taijutsu/Weapon attack used against them, of C-rank or lower, and even D-rank jutsu are easily dodged, deflected, or otherwise avoided due to the keen intellect and swift movement of the Hien style user.

Advance (Footwork) - Pushing forward with their back leg, the Hien style practitioner is able to amplify the action of their muscles with a burst of chakra, which propels them forward in a slight gliding movement, which can be rather disorienting when a classical 'step' is expected.

Beat (Bladework) - More of a provocation then anything else, the beat maneuver gives the appearance of whatever the user wishes. By making a light tap against the blade of an opponent, or even simply a feint attack to the air, the beat is meant to provoke an action in the enemy which can quickly be capitalized on by the Hien's quick motions.

Technique(s) Learned

Lunge (Footwork)- Combining the art of the Advance with the placement of the blade, a Hien student is capable of propelling themselves forward in a double advance, while simultaneously lunging the tip of their blade forward. As the blade is lunged forward, chakra is also pushed through the arm, allowing the blade to pierce through solid objects with ease. Those trained as Medical-nin can even use this pointed attack, which, when striking the enemy's body, can hit pressure points, causing the area struck to be numb for two posts.

Coule (Bladework) - A technique which only works against another user when they are using a weapon, A Coule, or grazing, can be used to make an attack against the weapon itself, allowing the Hien practitioner to channel their chakra through their blade as they scrape down the side of their opponent's weapon. The friction between the blades and the chakra creates a pulse which sends the blade to the side, bringing the user's arm with it as it creates an opening for the Hien user to attack. (The Coule itself is an automatic success, but the following strike is not)


2nd Flight (available at the rank of Chuunin)

Required Growth: The user has master the basics of fencing and can now move on to more complicated movements. The user's endurance and agility is still not up to the point where it can handle more difficult moves. (This level requires 10 posts of endurance/agility training to master...and 5 posts for each technique.)

Maneuver(s) Learned

Parry (Bladework) - A basic, yet incredibly useful skill, a parry, when performed successfully will allow the user to deflect any incoming weapon-based attack against them, the sudden movement of the blade, either by sweeping or beating against the opponent's blade, pushes the attack out of the user's away. (This functions as a guaranteed evasion of an incoming C-ranked or lower weapon-based attack which can only be used once every 5 posts.)

In Quartata (Footwork) - In conjunction with the above, the In Quartata is made with a quarter turn to the inside of your opponent, allowing the user to spin around the attack to place themselves at the enemy's flank. The user spins with a chakra enhanced movement, which exposes their back for only a split second before giving them a immediate attack against the user's right or left side, depending on which way they decide to move. (This movement can only be used in conjunction with a parry and shares it's cooldown)

Technique(s) Learned

Fleche Appel (Footwork) - A strange, but useful tactic, on the successful use of an In Quartata, the user may choose to, instead of making a standard attack, the user will channel additional chakra through their feet (a D-rank amount) as they stomp on the opponent's foot. If the attack connects, the user's movement speed is reduced by 25% for 2 posts.

Riposte (Bladework) - Usable only after a successful parry, a user channels chakra through their arm to make an enhanced attack against their opponent. Channeling the necessary chakra (a C-rank amount), the energy travels through the user's arm and out into the weapon, propelling it forward at twice the speed of a normal attack with 1.5 times the thrust and piercing power. (This attack can only be used once every 5 rounds, sharing it's cooldown with parry, and must be taken instead of an In Quartata movement.)

Remise (Bladework) - On any Riposte, with an additional D-ranks worth of chakra, even on a miss, the riposte's attack will hit. The premise comes in the extra boost of chakra unexpectedly lengthening the blade's range by adding an additional two inches of chakra off the tip of the blade, also creating a chakra tail, which can also do damage on the attack. (This is only a guaranteed against opponents your rank or lower and cannot be used to hit vital/fatal parts of the body reliably.)


3rd Flight (available at the rank of Special Jounin)

Required Growth: The user has reached an appropriate level where they now understand the fundamentals of fencing and have a high enough endurance/agility to perform more longer and complicated maneuvers. (This level requires 12 posts of endurance/agility training to master... and each technique requires 5 posts to learn)

Maneuver(s) Learned

Perceptive En Garde (Stance) - The advanced version of the standard starting stance of any fencer, Perceptive En Garde takes the En Garde to the next level, as the user has become much more in tune with reading his opponents movements. When set, if the fencer holds this stance for a post, without making any other attack or using another maneuver, the next Taijutsu/Weapon attack used against them of A-rank or lower, and even B-rank jutsu are easily dodged, deflected, or otherwise avoided due to the keen intellect and swift movement of the Hien style user.

Passata-sotto (Footwork) - An evasive action, only usable after a successful Perceptive En Garde, the user as part of their dodge, drops down to one hand, dodging under a taijutsu attack, while simultaneously giving them a clear line of sight to attack the lower torso/leg. a successful hit should serve to cripple the opponent and slow them down significantly. The user then nimbly brings themselves back to their feet off to the user's side. (Ether left or right, depending on the way they dodged initially)

Opposition Parry (Bladework) - the advanced version of the standard parry, when performed successfully will allow the user to deflect any incoming weapon-based attack against them with a sudden movement of the blade, either by sweeping or beating against the opponent's blade, pushing the attack out of the user's away. (This functions as a guaranteed evasion of an incoming B-ranked or lower weapon-based attack which can only be used once every 5 posts.)

Technique(s) Learned

Advance Lunge (Footwork) - The advanced form of the already impressive Hien double advance (Lunge), the user simultaneously lunges the tip of their blade forward, extending their chakra through the blade. This attack not only pierces through solid objects like they were non-existent, but it also destabilizes them, extending the chakra off the blade and through barriers, cracking/destabilizing them, causing them to shatter to pieces. Those trained as Medical-nin can even use this pointed attack, which, when striking the enemy's body, can hit pressure points, causing the area struck to be paralyzed for two posts. (This technique costs a B-rank of chakra and destroys any A-ranked barrier or below, even those created by ninjutsu.)

Counter Parry Derobement (Bladework) - A circular parry disarming tactic, the Counter Parry Derobement is only usable after a successful Coule. With an added C-rank of chakra channeled into the opponent's weapon through the extended contact with Rapier's edge , the user's hand is disabled, enabling the user to maneuver their blade in such a way to break the opponent's grip on their current weapon and disarm them. (This technique will only work on opponents your rank and below... and can only be used once per combat.)

Compound Riposte (Bladework) - Through an impressive display of fast and confusing feints and taunts, the user is able to slowly build up chakra through their weapon and suddenly discharge it an empowered slice or pierce. This attack is incredibly dangerous and accurate and the user is able to channel an element under their control through the blade in an explosive amount of energy. This elemental explosion counts as an A-ranked jutsu used at close range and can counteract/negate equal ranked jutsu and below of the element weak to the element channeled through the blade. (Costs an A-rank of chakra, only usable once every 5 posts)


4th Flight (available at the rank of Jounin)

Description: The user has finally reach a point in their training where they now know basically everything their is to the concept of fencing and how to apply it properly in regards to this style. The user has also reached a high enough endurance/agility level to perform much more skillful techniques. (This level requires 15 posts of endurance/agility training to master... and requires 7 additional posts to learn any technique)

Maneuver(s) Learned

Absolute En Garde (Stance) - Usable only once per combat, this stance when used, like all of the previous En garde maneuvers, requires one full post of concentration and observation in which the user does nothing else. Then, using their keen mind and well developed instincts and reflexes, the user is able to supernaturally dodge any Taijutsu/Weapon based attack and any and all A-ranked jutsu or below. Often times against jutsu, it means properly analyzing the jutsu's make-up, allowing the user to channel their chakra to disrupt or create an opening in the element with which they can slip into and avoid the attack.

In Quartata Riposte (Foot/Blade work) - On any successful parry, (standard, opposition, or derobement), the user pushes chakra through their legs and feet leading them into an advanced In Quartata, which carries them swiftly to the other side of the opponent (the opposing flank), where they can make an immediate attack. this attack then has impressive momentum behind it, allowing them to pierce through nearly anything, even steel with the extended point of their blade, which glows in chakra. Needless to say, this could also seriously damage any part of the body it pierces and cause near-fatal damage.

Technique(s) Learned

Swallow's Rush (Foot/Bladework) - The final maneuver and greatest achievement of any Hien practitioner, this attack not only advances the opponent, but also applies an extreme amount of force behind their attack. With their blade stabbing in and out in a flurry of swift piercing and feints, the user practically glides across the ground, seemingly attacking the opponent from multiple points in front of them. This merciless attack combines a series of ten advancing piercing strikes, finished with one final attack, which is lead into with the option of performing an In Quartata, or Passata-sotto prior to it's execution. The attack can then channel any element the user controls through their blade with a final attack which utterly destroys all barriers and makes an explosive attack outward from the blade with the concentrated power of an S-ranked maneuver. (This attack costs an S-ranked amount of chakra to use, and after it's use, the user is incapable of using ninjutsu for 2 posts, and is slowed by 50% for the next two posts as well)
 

[The Nerdbot]

Name of Taijutsu Style:
Jambe de Sang [Blood Leg Style]
Intended weapon:
Legs
Description:
It is designed to free the use of one's hands and prevent them from being damaged during a battle. As a result, practitioners tend to drop into certain stances in which their upper-body portions are most relaxed, such as placing their hands inside their pockets or crossing their arms together across their chest and only puts them into action whenever the event requires them to do certain maneuvers such as handstands, which aren't prohibited.

As a fighting style, the style boasts a wide and impressive array of kicks, coupled with super acrobatic skill making it a very versatile fighting technique, allowing the user to effectively weave continuous and powerful attacks upon adversaries and combine the power of his kicks with his other crewmates respective strengths for devastating team combinations. Most of the attack names are French words referring to various dishes.

Techniques:
Totsuzen no Ame [sudden rain]
- Jumping well above the opponent, a series of straight kicks aimed downwards is performed with such speed that they appear like a rain of feet threatening to crush the opponent under heel, quite literally. Though not all of the feet are real, the sheer number and direction is enough to cause panic and distress, as well as enormous pain

This attack is usually aimed at the very center of the opponent's torso (front or back) and is almost always enough to defeat any opponent with one shot. For much taller and gigantic targets, the user usually jumps to the desired height to execute the move.


Stage 5: Diable Jambe [Devil's Leg]
[Special Jounin]
Description:
- Diable Jambe is a stage where the user uses air friction to set his leg on fire, adding extreme heat to the impact of his kicks. In this form, the user, due to the high temperature, has more speed, more strength, and the ability to burn his opponents. While like this, he can light his opponent on fire. This stage has been shown to have adverse effects, if Sanji uses it for too long or too frequently he could cause serious injury to his body.
Training Method:
The user must learn how to harness the air around them to create enough friction for the technique. Therefore, after practicing their kicks and agility enough, they work on using chakra to condense the air around them.
Techniques:
Diable Jambe [Devil's Leg]
- In this technique, the user spins rapidly, causing his legs to heat up so much that they turn red.
Flambage Shot [Flaming Shot]
- In the air (sometimes several feet from the ground), the user kicks the side of an opponent's head with his foot (or the middle of their torso) and Diable Jambe's heat greatly increases the power, usually with explosive effect. The target is usually kicked downwards, causing them to come crashing into the ground.
Extra Haché [Highest-Rate Mincemeat]
- the user leaps into the air and launches a fierce barrage of flaming kicks, the light from the attack and the speed at which it is delivered makes it look like one big fire blast.
Venaison Shoot [Venison Shoot]
-The user, spinning horizontally in the air, kicks the opponent repeatedly in the chest and belly, finishing the attack with a powerful axe kick on the head with the speed, heat and strength of the Diable Jambe mode.

Notes:

- Diamble Jambe cost B-rank chakra per turn it is activated. Can only be activated for 5 posts, and has a 10 post cooldown.
- None of the attacks use chakra, save for Diamble Jambe
