Gin tamashī o ken no yōshiki(Sword Style of the Silver Soul)

Fast, Agile, Adaptive





The Gintama o ken no yoshiki was derived from the sword-style of one known as the White Devil. No one knows the White Devil's true identity, but he was a Samurai of great skill and prowess in the latest Great Shinobi War. His Style focused on speed and maneuver, to create opening and gaps in a foes defense which could then be exploited in an instant.

Rules
-Katana must be primary weapon.

General Fighting Style

The Gintama sword styles relies on speed and quick reflexes to outmaneuver and kill an opponent. The user only keeps one hand on the katana at most times, only adding his other hand for blocking or when power is needed. Otherwise, the second hand is held near the waist, to be used to grapple an opponent, to gain leverage over an opponent, or to be used as a weapon itself. At later stages, a user can pick up a one handed weapon of any sort and use it effectively as an offhanded weapon at the price of sacrificing the ability to use their off-hand for grappling and other techniques. Users also become very flexible as many of their techniques require them to move their bodies about in rapid secession.

Training Methods

A practitioner trains in the Gintama sword style via basic swordplay and drills. They practice drawing and swinging their sword and often use training dummies to stimulate targets. However, many prefer to find a willing training partner and spare with them using a Boken. In order to advance to the next rank, the user must have trained for a designated number of post, and then be involved in either an intense spar or a life or death match in order to advance.

Stage One Mastery: 6 post of training, no fight required

Stage Two Mastery: 10 post of training, atleast a 5 post spar

Stage Three Mastery: 15 post of training, atleast a 8 post spar.

Stage Four Mastery: 20 post of training, atleast a 10 post spar.

Stage Five Mastery: 25 Post of training, atleast a 15 post spar.
-----------------------------------------

| Genin |
- Stage One -

The user learns the basics of the style and learns to hone in on their speed and reflexes. Basic strikes as well as how to effectively use their off-hand as a weapon on its own in partner with the sword in the main hand. Users are also taught how to be more fluid and dynamic in their motions, to add a sense of unpredictability to their attacks.

Techniques learned:
Quick Draw: The user practices drawing their sword from their sheath so much, it has become second nature to them and that can draw their blade in an instant and at a moment's notice. The draw is preformed so quickly that only a Shinobi whose evasion rank is at or above the user's speed rank can avoid it entirely. If below, then the draw comes so quickly that if they do not already have their weapon drawn, they will be forced to attempt to dodge the strike.

Speed Slash: This technique involves the user creating somewhat of an optical illusion. With a flick of his wrist, the users makes the blade flash for a brief moment, making it seem like a strike in coming from one direction. Then with another quick flick of the wrist and a turn of the elbow, the strike comes from the completely opposite direction, catching the enemy off guard. Only a foe with fairly keen awareness would be able to catch the feint while in motion.

Headache Counter: Used when countering a strike that the user can effectively see coming. The user will parry the strike with his sword, and then quickly bring his off off-hand up to perform an uppercut the foes chin, followed back a quickly back-hand from the off-hand as well. The goal is to knock the foe off balance so a quick strike can be performed with the blade.

| Chunnin|
- Stage Two -

At Stage Two, the user focuses on become more maneuverable and agile so that he can effectively weave circles around his foe to effectively create gaps in their defenses. The user, though intense training becomes more agile and flexible, as these become vital during this stage of training as the basics of gain leverage over the opponent are learned as well as, maneuvers that, if preformed wrong, can put the user in a dangerous position, but if preformed correct, can create large gaps for the user to exploit.

Techniques Learned:

Disarm Counter: A more advanced counter that takes considerable practice to master. When the users is able to successfully read and dodge a strike, he can being his offhand up to the foe's wrist and attempt to pinch the nerve points around their wrist, forcing them to drop their weapon. Wither he succeeds or fails, he will attempt to deliver a swift kick to the gut at his foe to create distance after the attempted disarm. The roll will only occur if the user manages to get his hand on the foes wrist which is determined mainly by each RPC's Agility score.

To determine wither or not the disarm will be successful, the roll of a six-sided dice by the users opponent will be used.
For opponents of equal ranks, a roll of a 4,5,or 6 will result in being disarmed.
For opponents one rank higher than the user, a roll of 6 is needed to be disarmed. For opponents of two ranks higher, then cannot be disarmed.
For opponents one rank lower than the user, a 2 through 6 will result in being disarmed, if the opponent is two or more ranks lower, they will automatically be disarmed.

Spinning Strike: This technique is preformed in order to stun an opponent. First the user will slash at the side of the foe followed quickly by a knee to the gut in order to get the foes disoriented.

Pivot Counter: A counter designed to deal damage to the foe. The user will rush the foe and as the foe attempts to strike him, he will dodge the strike by either going low, that being dodging below the strike by crouching. Or going high, that being if the user decides to jump over the intended strike. If the users dodges high, then he strikes at the foe's shoulder with his sword. If the user dodges lower, he aims for the kidney.

Vital Point Attack: The user at this rank learns the location of the major vital points in the body, Liver, Lungs, Spine,Cervical Vein, Neck Vain, Brain, Kidneys and Heart. At this rank, the user can single out a single vital point and then proceed to attack it with extreme precision. It takes triple the amount of post to learn this technique due to the nature of muscle memory.
| Sp. Jounin |
- Stage Three -

At Stage Three, the users learns how to effective wield weapons in their off-hand. Weapons used in the off-hand can run the gauntlet from simply another katana to any range of other one handed weapons such as maces, knives and other forms of swords. While wielding an off-handed weapon, any technique that requires grabbing an opponent to be used cannot be preformed while the off-handed weapon is in place. Also, because it is the users off hand, it is naturally slower than their primary hand and therefore, every strike delivered with an off-hand weapon is one rank lower in speed and evasion, unless using a short sword, dagger, or small hammer.
Techniques learned:

Soaring Strike: The User will run towards in opponent, and then, using his superior speed, literally run up the side of his opponent's chest, while delivering a blow to the head with his off-handed weapon, followed by a quick pivot and strike at the back with his katana.

Double Quick Draw: An advanced version of the normal Quick Draw, the Double Quick Draw involves drawing both weapons within an instant of each other for maximum damage. The user will actually draw their off-handed weapon first in an attempt to hit their opponent with their slower moving hand first, follow almost instantly by the drawing of the katana with the primary hand to carry on the attack.


-----------------------------------------

| Jounin |
- Stage Four -
At this stage, acrobatics and extreme precision are added to the users already deadly arsenal of skills. Users learn the locations of the bodies vital spots and training to hit them with extreme precision. Also, in the state, the users is taught how to send takes into the air and how to effectively give chase while the target is still airborne. Also, at this point, the swordsman has matured enough to understand the White Devil's true meaning of fighting..and it is not to kill, but to protect one's soul, which includes everything one holds dear.If the user has not learned this lesson by this point, then his effectiveness in combat decreases, taking a -1 rank drop in both speed and agility and cannot advance to the final stage.

Arial Chase:The user launches the foe into the air, the user kicks the foe in the chin to get the foe airborne, and then proceeds to kick the foe in the chest three times to get them further up. The reason for kicking the foe in the chin is because the initial kick to the chin will get the foe airborne the most, the three kicks that follow gets the foe a few feet off the ground which allows the user then to jump above the foe and thrust his katana forward, using his own power and gravity to deliver a devastating blow.


Vital Points Strike: The users has learned all the exact locations and proceeds to aim quick and precise strikes at theses points. Normally occurring in rapid succession that a normal person would see it as one strike, when actually there is one strike per vital spot. To block all the strikes requires amazing reflexes. The strikes proceed as follows. It begins with a slash to the side for the liver, followed by a diagonal slice upward, handling the heart and lungs, then a downward chop with the offhand weapon for the brain, followed by two rapid strikes to the neck vain, cervical and spine, and then a side chop with the katana for the kidney. The reason the strikes all appear to be one is the fact that the users speed is so high that to a normal person, the strikes occur so quickly they are one.


|Sannin/Kage |
- Stage Five -

At this stage, the users has reached the pinnacle of speed and agility, moving so quickly that only the best of the best trackers can even hope to keep up with them. Also at this stage, the users has surpassed caring about protecting his life and instead protects his soul, that is, his values and friends more then he does his own life. The user will fight to great lengths to protect his soul, but his actual life in danger often to do so.

Howling Stirke: This technique actually starts by the user drawing his sword back so quickly, that a vacuum of air is created in front of him, sucking all surrounding opponents into the void, effectively off-footing them and leaving them completely exposed to the forthcoming strike by either the katana or the offhand weapon. If the foes strength level is Jounin or above, then they are merely knocked off-balanced slightly, but not completely sucked in. If the foes evasion is higher than the users, then they are able to avoid the void completely by dodging. The range is three yards directly in front of the draw arc of the user.


Current of Death: The users rushes the opponent slashing his blade in such rapid succession that it doesn't even appear to exist to the normal eye. Multiple strikes are aimed at all the vital spots on the body and for someone not on par speed and agility wise with the user, this spells almost certain death. The foe's speed and agility rank would both have to be on par with the users in order to escape the current completely unharmed, if either is below then they either cannot perceive it in time or if they can they cannot react quickly enough.

Blade Shatter: By coating their blade in chakra, the user user becomes able to shatter normal blades with ease when the two blades come into contact, rendering other swordsmen useless. This is normally followed by a prompt asking the foe to surrender peacefully. This technique will not work against custom weapons. ((Cost A rank Jutus chakra to coat the blade and the coating last for two blades or up to four post.))

Name of Style: The Royal Blade of Frost
Picture:

History: Was created by the royal families of Frost; specifically, Noel's father. Upon gaining one of the rare swords of the world, he gathered up a method to wield the monstrous weapon. It was extremely heavy. Only those of the royal family know of the training method to utilize the weapon with such as speed that it can almost be considered to be a Katana with a lag in it's cut. It is through this style, that makes it all possible.

Style Requirements: ❅Must be apart of the Frost Royal Family
❅ Must have a very long sword. One of the muramasume's.
❅ Must be a Weapon User or a Taijutsu User

Movement Description: Long strikes, as the blade is rather heavy and long. But, one certain moves, the strikes in speed and pick up, but nothing to the point that it would leave after-imaging or reach the level of a battojutsu type move.

Stage 1: Soft Snow - Genin

Stage Description: At stage one, you are a new wielder of the blade, meaning it is quite heavy for you. The sword is always strapped to your back almost pulling you down. But you are able to swing the sword with some strength. When you swing the sword, it will hit the ground casing it to crack a little at least 6 inch radius.
Swinging is rather slow, but still powerful.

Stage Powers:
- 1+ Rank of Strength ( Will not stack)
- 1+ Rank of Stamina ( Will not stack )
- Strength enough to wield the blade, but nothing extraordinary with it. Basic cuts, stabs, and slices.

Stage Training:
- 20 posts of strength training
- 10 posts of stamina training
- 5 posts with utilization of the blade

Stage Jutsu: Genin

Cleave
Description: This jutsu is a simple but powerful horizontal strike of the sword. A Katana an an unable bodied nin will not be able to handle the magnitude of this slash without having quite some strength to back it up. A Chuunin will even pose to have some trouble to this powerful strike due to the amount of training the user goes through.

Haymaker
Description: Another powerful technique that is just as deadly as the first. Bringing the blade straight up, the user will let gravity and the strength they have obtained to slam down upon the opponent. Causing a crater ( 10 ft) where the blade has fell, and if it hits the opponent directly, will most definitely split them into. [ For every rank after the user is raised, another 5 extra ft will be extended to the crater. ]


Stage 2: Chuunin

Stage Description: At this point in time, the blade his lighter in the hands of the wielder. The weight of the weapon will resemble more like a buster or b*****d sword to them, meaning it will enable them to attack at a much faster rate and with more power. The strength of your swings are now significantly stronger, as well. Making the power of the weapon connecting be even more detrimental.

Stage Powers:
- 1+ Rank of Strength ( Will not stack)
- 1+ Rank of Stamina ( Will not stack )
- Ample strength enough to wield the blade, and more dexterity and manipulating it. Access to more attacks advanced attacks will occur at this level.

Stage Training: - 10 posts of strength training
- 10 posts of stamina training
- 5 posts with utilization of the blade

Stage Jutsu: Chuunin
Vortex of Frost
-Description: During this technique, the user will now start to add in the element of Frost into their technique. Taking the hilt of the massive blade, the user will begin to spin it vigorously above them. Spinning a such a speed and velocity that a tornado of wind will produce. If someone Chuunin or below run into this wind, they have a high chance of not only being launched or trapped into the vortex. But also have a possibility of having the tornado suck the individual into the blade to be chopped up like mince meat. For once one is stuck in the tornado, it is very hard to get out.

But that is rather only half of the technique. Should the user want to rid themselves of the vortex, in mid-spin of the blade, the user will cast down their weapon with great strength and elemental chakra of Frost. The now light blue tinted vortex will be sent towards the opponent, and rather suck up anything within a 10yrd perimeter. If an opponent as been sucked into the tornado, this is when the "Frost Body Stipulation" occurs. Within three posts, the opponent will be automatically freed, for the tornado has dwindled down; but by this time, they will suffer severely. In order to get out opponent must utilize the 'Random Generator' option. [ 1-6] If they get a 3 or a 5 they are freed. If not, they will remain in the tornado. Which will leave them to these ailments:

- First Failure to escape: The body will be dusted over by the elemental frost. It will make maneuvering a bit more difficult.

- Second Failure to escape: The previous dusting of Frost, will get thicker. Making the body colder and more susceptible to pain. Making physical attacks stronger by a half rank as well as encumbering the speed of the opponent by a similar half rank.

- Third Failure to escape: The final and last failure will leave the opponent completely Frosted over. Making will be hindered by a full rank now, as well as physical pain to the body will increase similarly. The but will move at a completely encumbered speed and will have any form of agility or nimbleness severed at this point. Or at least until there is an equal amount of treatment or equal amount of heat encasing the body.

Horns of the Ice King
-Description: This is another brutal and more personal striking move. By Putting the blade in front of the users body, they will utilize all the strength they have gathered and charge the opponent. Ramming them with the blunt of the blade causing a wide scale trauma to the entire body.

Gladiators Cleave
- Description: Upon taking stance that would usually be held for a smaller sword, or in other words holding the blade to where a hip draw will be made, the user will push forward and make a vicious cut towards the opponent. The power of the strike is enough to slice through the opponent with relative ease, due to the stance and the swing made. But should the user miss or the opponent manage to somehow block the might of the blade, if the opponent is within 5 yards of the opponent the wind created by the user will start to draw them in. A vacuum affect it you will, preparing the user to strike once more.

Stage 3: Jounin

Stage Description: Like the other stage, the element of Frost will still be applied but with more strength and avail. The strength of the user after achieving this stage will be anything less than monstrous. The speed of the weapon being handled now will be like that of a heavy Katana. Making the user wield the large weapon with extraordinary dexterity and increase the amount of damage the weapon can hold due to the amount of hits the user can now make.

Stage Powers:
- 1+ Rank of Strength ( Will not Stack )
- 1+ Rank of Stamina ( Will not stack )
- Ample strength enough to wield the blade, and more dexterity and manipulating it. Access to more attacks advanced attacks will occur at this level.

Stage Training:
- 10 posts of strength training
- 10 posts of stamina training
- 5 posts with utilization of the blade

Stage Jutsu:
Frost Dragon
-Description: With the strength to hold the blade and it be more versatile, the user will charge the opponent, charging the element of Frost into the weapon. Upon cutting and releasing the magnificent force the blade provides, a dragon made of ice will open it's maw in attempt to 'swallow' the opponent. Upon direct contact, the user will suffer the powers of forest. Hindering their nimblness, agility, speed, and evasiveness by -1.5 of a Rank

Ice King's Second Blade
-Description: With the strength the user has gained so far, the availability to the deadliness of the style will start to open up. By forming a single seal with one hand, the user will form a replicated blade of Ice, like the one that hold before. Increasing the amount of attacks further and bringing the user to strike down the opponent with two blades of the same strength. It will take a Jounin level attack directly to the blade of ice to break it, or a Chuunin level Katon technique.

X-Factor Strike
-Description: In cooperation of the 'Ice King's Second Blade' technique, the user will push off of a hard surface. Usually above the opponent or in some angle above them and will attempt to strike the opponent with the blades ending in an X. A direct cut will completely sever the opponent into three parts. Even more so, blocking it without having the strength to go up against the strength of this technique may be similarly dangerous.

Stage 4: Jounin At stage Four, your power with strength is quite strong. With a swing of a sword you can cut down a tree with one strong blow again. It cuts it like a knife throw jello. If the sword were to hit the ground, it would cause the blade to create a crater at least 15 ft radius, causing once again vibrations, almost like an earth quake.
Stage Description: Blocking by an opponent that doesn't have a sword of the caliber to protect them, will get them slaughtered at the level and strength this jutsu requires. The amount of force and power the user has at this level is almost inhuman. It is no wonder that the Ice King or the Daiymo of Shimo, became such a giant of men, and the power of his swing is known to create small chasms.

Stage Powers:
- 1+ Rank of Strength ( Will not Stack )
- 1+ Rank of Stamina ( Will not stack )
- Even more monstrous strength enough to wield the blade, and more dexterity and manipulating it. Access to higher leveled attacks and more monstrous strength. Handling the blade at this level, will be like handling a Katana. Making the speed and power of the strikes arrive at the opponent with such strength and power they will have to be one their toes or risk having a severed limb, or worse, a severed body.

Stage Training:
- 10 posts of strength training
- 10 posts of stamina training
- 5 posts with utilization of the blade

Stage Jutsu:
Strike of a Thousand Snow Flakes
-Description: This is when speed is starting to be exhibited into the style now that the sword has become light enough for them to hold. Upon closing the distance to their opponent, like a lance, the user will thrust their sword at their opponent in nearly blinding speeds. The only one to survive the technique, counted the move goes on for about a hundred jabs. That of which will tire out a non-trained opponent, but to the user of this style stamina has built them enough to not get too winded from this technique. Being hit once by one of jab, if you haven't been struck in a lethal zone, makes it harder to dodge the other jabs. Or in other words, being hit once multiplies the chance of being hit again.

Ice Prism
-Description: This is a technique to add a bit of distance to the user's attack. A geyser of water will envelop the opponent followed by a frost to freeze the opponent. If the opponent has been caught by one, they will be caught by the other, for the geyser of water lifts the opponent off the ground so the chances of being frozen rises. The opponent will be frozen until they are able to break out. Using the Random Number Generator ( 1-2). If the number is odd, then the user breaks free, if the number is even, the user is trapped for another post until they are able to break out.

Frozen Injection
-Description: Like the 'Frost Dragon' technique, the user will burst forwards and put their chakra into the blade. Upon swiping said weapon, hundreds of dagger sized chakra filled icicles will release from the weapon. What makes the technique truly dangerous, is the sword upon slamming into another weapon or being blocked in some manner, the needles will still release out. Having the opponent take an up and close stabbing of the 'cicles.

Stage 5: Sannin

Stage Description: This is the last and final stage of being a master, after this last training you have become one of the masters. You truly have become royalty of the Frost and can hold claim to the throne when the time comes. When you swing down your sword your smash creates a large crater around you for 20 ft. The ground shakes and almost cuts the earth in half, (around you). You can swing at full speed now thanks to the training you have done and will be able to wield the weapon like a wooden katana. Quick furious attacks will be slamming into the opponent now, as will the techniques that this stage provides.

Stage Powers: -
1+ Rank of Strength ( Will not Stack )
- 1+ Rank of Stamina ( Will not stack )
- Even more monstrous strength enough to wield the blade, and more dexterity and manipulating it. Access to higher leveled attacks and more massive strength. Handling the blade at this level, will be like handling a Wooden Katana. Making the speed and power of the strikes arrive at the opponent with such strength and power they will have to be one their toes or risk meeting a very untimely end.

Stage Training:
- 10 posts of strength training
- 10 posts of stamina training
- 5 posts with utilization of the blade

Stage Jutsu:
Strike from the Frozen Royal Heavens
-Prerequisites: Ice King's Second Blade
-Description: Here, the user will utilize the abilities of froze to make it seem like the snow around them are like blades. Thrusting their sword up into the air, a massive snow storm will plague the area. The blizzard, except for the user, will be blinded by the snow above. With the sound of the snow and wind whipping around them, it will mask the sound of the user sprinting and bringing the distance between the opponent and themselves.

If the opponent hasn't struck the user by the next post, the next technique comes into play. The user will close in distance with the opponent and slam the blunt end of their blades into the opponent, sending them airborne. Forcing them into the final and ending strike of the technique if they are not able to, once more, strike the user before the final strike.

For like Kage Buyou, the user will appear from out of the snow behind their opponent and utilize the 'Ice King's Second Blade' to it's fullest extent. Surrounding the opponent, will be seven blades including the blade that they are holding. From there, the strikes will proceed. Eight strikes in total until they plummet to the ground from taking that many strikes to the body.

Users learn the locations of the bodies vital spots and training to hit them with extreme precision. Also, in the state, the users is taught how to send takes into the air and how to effectively give chase while the target is still airborne. Also, at this point, the swordsman has matured enough to understand the White Devil's true meaning of fighting..and it is not to kill, but to protect one's soul, which includes everything one holds dear.If the user has not learned this lesson by this point, then his effectiveness in combat decreases, taking a -1 rank drop in both speed and agility and cannot advance to the final stage.

Arial Chase:The user launches the foe into the air, the user kicks the foe in the chin to get the foe airborne, and then proceeds to kick the foe in the chest three times to get them further up. The reason for kicking the foe in the chin is because the initial kick to the chin will get the foe airborne the most, the three kicks that follow gets the foe a few feet off the ground which allows the user then to jump above the foe and thrust his katana forward, using his own power and gravity to deliver a devastating blow.


Vital Points Strike: The users has learned all the exact locations and proceeds to aim quick and precise strikes at theses points. Normally occurring in rapid succession that a normal person would see it as one strike, when actually there is one strike per vital spot. To block all the strikes requires amazing reflexes. The strikes proceed as follows. It begins with a slash to the side for the liver, followed by a diagonal slice upward, handling the heart and lungs, then a downward chop with the offhand weapon for the brain, followed by two rapid strikes to the neck vain, cervical and spine, and then a side chop with the katana for the kidney. The reason the strikes all appear to be one is the fact that the users speed is so high that to a normal person, the strikes occur so quickly they are one.

- Stage Five -

At this stage, the users has reached the pinnacle of speed and agility, moving so quickly that only the best of the best trackers can even hope to keep up with them. Also at this stage, the users has surpassed caring about protecting his life and instead protects his soul, that is, his values and friends more then he does his own life. The user will fight to great lengths to protect his soul, but his actual life in danger often to do so.

Howling Stirke: This technique actually starts by the user drawing his sword back so quickly, that a vacuum of air is created in front of him, sucking all surrounding opponents into the void, effectively off-footing them and leaving them completely exposed to the forthcoming strike by either the katana or the offhand weapon. If the foes strength level is Jounin or above, then they are merely knocked off-balanced slightly, but not completely sucked in. If the foes evasion is higher than the users, then they are able to avoid the void completely by dodging. The range is three yards directly in front of the draw arc of the user.


Current of Death: The users rushes the opponent slashing his blade in such rapid succession that it doesn't even appear to exist to the normal eye. Multiple strikes are aimed at all the vital spots on the body and for someone not on par speed and agility wise with the user, this spells almost certain death. The foe's speed and agility rank would both have to be on par with the users in order to escape the current completely unharmed, if either is below then they either cannot perceive it in time or if they can they cannot react quickly enough.

Blade Shatter: By coating their blade in chakra, the user user becomes able to shatter normal blades with ease when the two blades come into contact, rendering other swordsmen useless. This is normally followed by a prompt asking the foe to surrender peacefully. This technique will not work against custom weapons. ((Cost A rank Jutus chakra to coat the blade and the coating last for two blades or up to four post.))
