Feudal Arda is located in a far off location compared to where the Shinobi Nations are located. Consisting of a more desolate combination of plains, mountains and forests, Feudal Arda houses a large clan comprising of several different races of beings, the Elrond Clan is a fellowship of Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits all coexisting under a single name, but possessing their own families but still taking the Elrond name as a surname when outside of Feudal Arda itself.
Clan:The Elrond Clan consists of Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits. All of which have been trained for combat in different variations of the use of the Bows, Crossbows, and even Bowguns for some. They possess excellent skill, thanks to the training originally granted by the elves, and mixing in their own creative flair or specialties in order to make their choice of weapon fit their own races.

[ N ] Mechanical Tinkering - 800 Chakra [ Requires A Bow ] ( Can add ½ Intelligence to either Attack Speed or Damage. | Can only be used once in a post | Lasts only for the Post used | Cannot be used again for 2 Posts. ) A well known fact is that dwarves are miners and crafters by trade. Thanks to this, they have passed on their capabilities to those who they deem worthy of the knowledge. By quickly tinkering with the parts of a Bow, the user can enhance the damage of the weapon based on their own knowledge of it's inner workings.

The user actually manages to shoot or throw an additional projectile during their attack, this second projectile although not hard to notice, can actually be used against the same target or an immediate different one, if the user is quick and smart enough to do so.
[ G ] Trick Shooter - 1300 Chakra ( Resolve +10 ) A Genjutsu technique that causes a thrown or launched projectile to appear as if it has multiplied into three. Although not necessarily a long or technical technique, it allows for just enough confusion to be able to have a higher chance of getting a solid hit in.
As the pale light of dawn breaks through the curtains at his bedside, Ash groans softly, not ready to get out of bed. Today will be the first time he's made a public appearance in quite some time. He usually keeps to himself aside from the necessary interactions involved with his studies as there aren't many reasons for him to be spending time socializing. The world is changing, this once peaceful land has become a dangerous place of contention. The undead scourge rages through the feudal lands even now, threatening the lives in the neighboring shinobi nations. He's encountered a few undead monsters before while venturing through the forests outside his village. The Elrond Clan continues to work hard to keep their home safe, including keeping the monstrous hordes at bay. However, their other problems haven't gone away during this conflict. They rely on nature to support their lifestyle, but corruption has affected the local ecosystem. Animals are growing sick and becoming aggressive. Under orders from his clan, Ash's mission is to begin purifying local populations of animals. Clearing out any corrupted entities.
He gets out of bed, preparing himself for the day of work. First cleaning up his bedroom a bit before moving into the kitchen to prepare a quick breakfast. He begins wondering about the origins of this cursed affliction, and what purpose this conflict serves. Perhaps there is something to be learned from their adversaries. If this power can be harnessed, maybe it can benefit the Elrond in some way. At the very least, there might be some way Ash can learn from this power to strengthen himself and destroy his enemies. As he finishes his meal, he decides to investigate the source of this plague while he's out hunting. Moving over to the wardrobe, he equips himself with a lightweight set of armor. Just enough to protect him from basic attacks but still flexible to allow for quick movement. He opts for a darker color as well, in order to remain stealthy more effectively.

♨ Ash Blackburn
A bell rings in the distance, deep and rich in tone. A fairly common occurrence. Bells are used by the Elrond to notify the clan of hours passing, similar to how a clock will sound a unique tone for each different hour. This particular sound signifies the sixth hour of the morning. The sun still hasn't fully risen over the horizon. A dim gray light washes over everything as Ash steps outside into the woods. His cabin faces north, which is the same direction he decides to start traveling. It's still somewhat dark outside, with just enough light to see clearly but maintain low visibility. Before long, Ash comes across an infected specimen, a small bear glowing with a dark aura. He readies an arrow, carefully aiming his strike at the corrupted animal's head. He loosens his arrow, letting it fly through the air, piercing though it's body and swiftly culling it. Carefully, he retrieves his arrow, placing it into a special container, preserving it to be studied later. He places his hand onto the abdomen of the bear while infusing his hand with katon chakra. His hand is enveloped in a black flame which slowly consumes the animal's body. This ability to burn and disintegrate most materials with his chakra is why he was assigned to cleanse the infected entities in the area. It's important that the rotten substances are completely purged before they spread and infect everything.
He grins, taking satisfaction in having already acquired a promising sample to study the affliction. He's just getting warmed up though, as this kill is the first of many. With his blood pumping now, he begins racing through the woods in search of more beasts to slay. Before long, he comes across a group of bears eating from a rotting deer carcass. Interestingly, a small fraction of this group appears uninfected, while the rest has a horrid look to them. Perhaps this means the infection is spreading from weaker animals to their predators. That conclusion makes logical sense after all, as smaller animals would naturally be more vulnerable to such an assault. In a flurry of arrows and flames, Ash attacks the group of bears. One of the bears nearly mauls him with its claws before he slips away, jumping high into a tree above them. They begin clawing at the tree, trying to climb up after him. Ash continues climbing higher up until he reaches the top when suddenly, an idea occurs to him. He smiles wickedly as he puts his cunning plan into action, waiting patiently for the bears to climb up the tree after him. Just as the group nears the top, Ash releases a huge flame, catching fire to the center of the tree just below him. He waits as the fire spreads, engulfing the lower part of the tree in flames before he finally jumps away, landing safely in another tree nearby. Lacking the same agility as Ash, the bears are unable to get away in time and the fire spreads over their bodies, suffocating their life from them while dissolving their flesh.

Ash watches as the fire consumes the tree, reducing it to dust. He uses his chakra to contain the fire, preventing it from spreading out of control. He looks around to make sure the danger is clear before heading back towards the village to regroup. First, he heads to the guild hall to make a report on his findings. Walking past a room full of armor and weapons, he finds the library. Here, there are many types of forms and requests to fill out. He grabs a report sheet and begins filling out the details of the afflicted beasts he encountered. "It's apparent that smaller, weaker animals are succumbing to infection and then passing it on to their predators, although the original source is still unclear. A sample taken from the infected beasts has been returned for further analysis. Corrupted bears have become highly aggressive and have begun forming large groups."

With his report complete, Ash takes leave from the guild hall and returns to his cabin to cleanse himself after the intense battle. On his way home, he hears murmuring throughout the village of rising panic. As he arrives back at his cabin, he senses a lingering charred smell wafting off of his clothes. He heads into the washroom to bathe himself thoroughly before changing into a fresh set of clothes more suited for socializing. He'll be attending a meeting this evening at the guild hall about the bear attacks. Before that, he plans to head into the village for a meal. It's been a long day of work, and he needs revitalization to prepare for the evening. Wandering back into the village, he finds a mysterious looking café next to a fancy clothing boutique. Stepping inside, the walls are lined with shimmering, translucent red silk curtains. Sweet incense and jovial conversation fills the air as patrons shuffle through the dining and lounge areas. Buffets of food are set out across several tables for guests, with a variety of prime selections available. Ash chooses a few of his favorite hors d'oeuvres as well as some intriguing new finds before moving into the lounge area, leisurely making small talk with the other guests nearby as he enjoys his meal.

♨ Ash Blackburn
A bolt of lightning strikes fiercely just outside, shaking the ground aggressively and almost pushing Ash over. Panicked mumbling spreads quickly through the room as he heads outside to investigate. Directly in front of the café, a large black orb sits on the ground, a crater around it from the impact. As he approaches, it begins to float in the air, a cloud of black smoke swirling within it. He reaches out, taking the orb into his hands. A black flash shines over him as the orb releases a dark fog all around him and absorbs him, trapping him inside. He looks around, only seeing the edges of the orb containing everything inside of it, covered in a thick black fog. Another black flash comes over him, this time accompanied by a high pitched ringing noise. After a brief moment, his vision clears. He stands in front of the café again, now with the orb shrunken down, sitting in the palm on his hand. Looking closely, the black smoke still swirls inside, concealing anything within. It seems he's managed to harness this mysterious object's power, allowing him to store items within the orb. It seems like a very strange and ominous object, radiating a dark energy. However, it may be useful for handling corrupted objects carefully.
