xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxѕρє¢ιαℓ тαℓєηт

ηαмє | Castiel Valente.
мαιη ѕтуℓє | Four Winds.
¢υяяєηт ℓєνєℓ | One.
σяιgιη | The user will unlock it during a trying situation, one forcing them to solidify their resolve.
ωєαкηєѕѕ | The user must give up d-ranked ki for every turn this talent is in effect and can no longer 'feel the wind' about them during its use.

∂єѕ¢яιρтιση | The user inhales a deep breath of air, filling the extremities of their lungs to the very brim. Holding their breath in for a moment, they mold this air it into the energy or ki that courses throughout their body in order to refresh and extract most impurities out of their anatomy (ei. bacteria, poison, etc.). The user then exhales the air mixed with their ki and any impurities by means of their nose and/or mouth. While the contaminants bore along with the energized current are destroyed as they leave the body, the respired wind itself quickly takes to wrap its user in a veil forged of wind and their ki. This veil adopts the appearance of platinum carvings (or smooth streams), visible to any onlooker. This talent acts like first as an internal armor, protecting the body from defilement, then as an external armor the latter of which can be used in two interchangeable ways, as it envelopes the user. At high rotations, the veil of wind will help decrease the strength of attacks opposing the user of this technique, moreover, enhancing their physical capabilities; all previously stated mechanics are based upon the current level that the user is at -if they are faced with any opposition of a much higher rank, the talent will not be able to defend them as effectively. Finally at slower rotations, the armor causes its user to disappear in a thicker veil of wind that distorts any form of light, bending it around their immediate figure.

ѕαмρℓє | He fought hard, but it wasn't hard enough. The young man was faced with much too many enemies even though they were all about the same level as he. An unexpected and powerful kick from behind forced the male to collapse under its pressure and the dirt of the ground below his weary feet. "See? It wasn't too hard to break him fellas!" the leader of the group cackled, digging his meaty fingers onto the scalp of their victim. The suppressed male couldn't do much but try to catch his breath midst all the dirt that threatened to clog his air canals, while other oppressors held him down against what flicker there was left of his fiery will. "I guess this is it for you, boy!" the leader ripped Cass' face from the earth and forced it up to look upon his own. "Look at me! This is the last thing you'll ever see in your miserable, shitty life!" he bellowed, spitting violently afterward right in the face of their prey.

Cass could do nothing but close his eyes to protect himself from the disgusting saliva this b*****d of a man had sprayed all over his already dirtied face. His eyes shut tight, Castiel felt a certain throb within the depths of his heart. It hurt, it pained him more than the persecution he had to currently endure; what was this feeling? It was the depressing emotion of having let down his people back home. . . the thunderous cries of millions, dying out to mere whimpers as they were caught away in the murderous, torturous grasp of Cass' older brother. . Alvaro, the demented king. A chill overcame Castiel. His entire figure shivered underneath it as his breath grew cold, shallow. The men laughed at this, at his reaction to it all, it was as if their victim had already given up and didn't even have the dignity of any final words to defend their pitiful existence with.

Little did the gang know what awaited them. Cass had unlocked the floodgates of his resolve. He was the true king, the rightful heir to the cherished throne his father defended with his entire being, every last fiber of his strength. Suddenly, Cass was overcome by instinct and the atmosphere seemed to tremble as he drew in a gradual, but great breath of air through his nose. This was the small beginning that snowballed within his very lungs as the strength of his will mixed with what remaining energy coursed through his anatomy. A moment later, just before the leader could connect a neck-breaking strike to Cass' face, the prince opened his gaze, his sapphire eyes refreshed and aglow with the energy that fueled his determination, and his lips parted in coherence. An immense amount of wind expelled from within, blocking the leader's punch as it began to wrap around Cass' figure, forcing the grips that held him down to break off of his limbs and torso.

Terribly shocked by what had happened, the group withdrew a few feet from his figure; but it was too late now. . Castiel advanced, using the currents that welcomed his unwavering resolution to enhance his martial prowess. As he fought the fearful bunch, most physical strikes that came his way were blown to the side by his winds, although a few did land here and there, yet these packed less power. Castiel could no longer determine the wind surrounding the premises, however, his physique, beckoned or moved by the quick currents about him allowed him to move at a much faster pace than enemies equal to or less than his own level; this allowed him to devour the lot in a short period of time. . . finishing the leader off last, "As long as I have innocent ones to look after, I will not be broken. Not now. . . nor ever." He said his 'last words', delivering the finishing blow to the head of the gang.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxѕρє¢ιαℓ тαℓєηт

ηαмє | Oakley Epsilon
мαιη ѕтуℓє | CARBON DEATH
¢υяяєηт ℓєνєℓ | 1
ωєαкηєѕѕ | Soreness in limbs and joints, exhaustion, incapacitation
σяιgιη | Oakley honed this skill running around the alleys and abandoned factories of his home city. Nobody taught him—he learned in the school of hard-knocks.

∂єѕ¢яιρтιση | PARKOUR – parkour is the art of displacement, overcoming obstacles to travel the most direct and efficient route possible. This talent requires quick redistribution of momentum and balance at great speeds. Those who regularly practice parkour are able to execute moves—such as jumps from very high places—that would be considered either extremely dangerous or impossible by non-traceurs. As Oakley is by no means an expert, he cannot do mega-ridiculous moves like back-flipping off a fire escape. He can, however, monkey his way over walls and roofs like a small young squirrel. Or a monkey. Whatever. This talent also allows Oakley to occasionally escape while under attack (unless he's like, tied down or backed into a box or something similar)

ѕαмρℓє | The gang was hot on his heals—and that was kind of a problem, because most of those gangbangers had knives. Really really sharp ones that gleamed in the dark of the alleys and sliced the hair behind him with unnerving whistling noises. Oakley wasn’t a coward or anything, but he kinda preferred not being carved up like a fresh bagel. He gritted his teeth and poured on more speed. Come on, man, you gotta make it—make it or you are going to die—

Up ahead, a dumpster sat dejectedly against a tagged brick wall, right underneath a mangled fire escape. Well, not right underneath, but hell, an eight-foot difference was high enough. Oakley prepared his muscles and leapt like a cat onto the dumpster’s rusted lid—launched himself up in the air—and gripped the steely edge of the last escape stair, wincing a little as his flesh made contact with the frigid, rough metal. Still using the momentum of his jump, Oakley attempted to swing his hips upward to hook one leg on the escape rail—

Only to have a thug grab him around the middle and yank him downward. Oakley had to release his grip on the stair or risk slicing open his palm and contracting a hellacious strain of tetanus. The gang whooped in joy that their quarry had been caught . . . except he wasn’t, not yet. Muttering a curse under his breath Oakley weaseled out of his assailant’s arms and bolted down a different corner. Bad idea. The dead end loomed up in front of him like a giant slap in the face. As the thugs spread out and rushed in, blades flashing, Oakley made a desperate bid for freedom and charged for the nearest wall—jumped onto it—and somersaulted off so that he landed (with not nearly as much grace as he’d hoped) right behind the horde of hoodlums. The urchins were so shocked all they could do was stare as the Parkour Rookie took off into the night.

{{I added the part about Oakley being able to escape as per Darestrum's advice :3}}

enamored silence

crawling-hornet

silence: Denied. My general rule of thumb is that someone should be at least level 5 before they can discover a talent revolving around their main style, simply because your character is still new to their main style and Ki usage. Talents don't just pop up overnight, and even talented baseball players have to play baseball for a while before they discover a particular knack they have for it. Same idea applies here. I would say to apply for something like this at a much later level, but even then this talent seems a bit too powerful for me to allow. I absolutely despise talents/skills that get stronger over time, and this talent was already pretty strong to begin with just by making the user basically immune to all poisons, let alone deflecting outside attacks as well.

hornet: Accepted

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxѕρє¢ιαℓ тαℓєηт

ηαмє | Azéma Vyacheslav Kiska
мαιη ѕтуℓє | FOUR WINDS BABEH
¢υяяєηт ℓєνєℓ | Level I
ωєαкηєѕѕ | Excruciating joint pain if over exerted at one time. (basically your knees are gonna give and hell hath no fury to the pain you will receive)
σяιgιη | is common in children and decreases with age. . .except his didn't decrease with age. . .it stayed where it was

∂єѕ¢яιρтιση | Joint Hypermobility Syndrome — abnormally increased mobility of small and large joints beyond the limits of their physiological movement with little effort. The most common joints where this occurs are the elbows, wrists, fingers, and knees. For example the individual can:
      •Bend their fingers backward to a 90-degree angle
      •Bend their thumbs to forearms
      •Hyperextend/twist their elbows 10 degrees beyond physiological average
      •Hyperextend/twist their knees 10 degrees beyond physiological average
      •Bend forward with their knees straight and place hands flat on the floor.

ѕαмρℓє | Azéma waved his hand casually, laughing in fact as if shooing him.
”Aww Did I hit a nerve~?” the angered Neanderthal immediately threw a chair at him, the instigating male dropping to the ground in the same fashion as a spider. There was a dodge roll for him to get himself away from the fool, not really fearing for his life as he knew what to do. . .sort of. Again he stood, his shoulders and knees being held in a loose fashion. The male went into a light footed run towards the one that so happened to pick a fight with the instigator. His hand was held out behind him and to a rather precise angle pointing downward; once close enough twisted his knee inward.

Push

A burst of wind sent him upward to apply more force to this already empowered kick. His foot hit home, the left side of the male’s jaw. This wasn’t it though, his body contorted yet again from the sheer force of the gale, twisting his knee back and spinning, this motion left him wide open. It was a risky move but he was willing to take the risk. He was grabbed by both of his legs and swung towards the ground. But he stopped himself in a grotesque fashion. His four fingers were perpendicular to the back of his hand with his elbows hyperextended. Azéma’s back was arched in a pulchritudinous curve, a devilish grin surfacing from the granite countenance. There was yet another push, this time he put as much force as he had into his legs in a twisting motion. Clearly the idiot didn’t have a strong enough grip on his legs, causing him to twist out of the man’s grasp. Once adjusting his hands his sad attempt at a handstand shifted. His legs opened into a one hundred thirty degree angle with his knees hyperextended to allow more force behind his next motion. He twisted himself again as his legs moved like a helicopter, a quick succession of his feet making contact with the male’s right side, the chain of three kicks bashing the opponent’s ribs with a hollow noise to accompany them. Once complete, he formed a hand stand, pushing himself back in the form of a back handspring. His legs returned to neutral position upon landing on his feet, his hands in a loose position with his knees slightly bent,
”You done~ I can keep this up all day~” the male bluffed whilst smirking at his opponent who was clearly a bit roughed up.

Being able to learn potentially 10 more styles for the cost of 1 isn't really a fair trade...

Yeah well that was before everything changed, I read it over and I got to agree with Fen on this. Because you get rid of a Main style doesnt make it fair at all. 1 for 10? Thats not even remotely worth it.

What Darion said. I'll allow you to learn 5 sub-styles for this. You'll be able to start learning an extra sub-style for ever odd-number level you go up. So you start with 2 sub-styles at level 1.

You get to auto-learn the first stage and skills of your first sub-style, but you'll need to train the first stage and skills of the other sub-style you'll be getting.

If no "Stage" it's to B rank correct?
