Either one would work I'd say.

[Musoka]

Bleh sorry, already had a relation to Yin Hu so I may have stolen that from the Oni character. but its done.

[knighthawk]

I sense a lot of Hyuuga clan influence on the fighting style.

[Musoka]

Yes very much so...but I really enjoy that kind of style. In MMOS/Tabletops/RPGs I'm always the 'rogue' type, speed and precision etc. so I tried to get that into a style and the Hyuga from Naruto fit the most.

@Musoka Seikatsu is accepted! @Pathfinder since Musoka has Yin Hu by relation, your relation can be with Seikatsu. When you're finished with your cs, I'll add Lu Fau's relation to Hokori.

Ah, poor lee, he is no match for Sobo-ika (grandmother squid) techniques.

But, how was he able to hit the sailor fast enough an hard enough to cause sickness without disturbing the tea? I can understand surprise attack, but if he is faster than the eye to track we are all in for an unfair fight.

[Avanhelsing]

@knighthawk
Distraction! He suddenly punches Boar. Getting his ass kicked would be better. It's that or diving into the sea.

@Musoka Don't know how much of this you already know, but the Jyuuken style in Naruto is based on a real chinese martial art known as Baguazhang. Here's a vid with some moves for inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAq1WA_RCiI

@Halvtand
A very beautiful art form. Thanks for sharing.

[Pathfinder]

Whelp, I'm finally done.

@knighthawk

Personally I don't find it that strange. Speed aside, a master martial artist like Lu Fau surely has the balance to pull of a quick knee to the squishy mid-area without altering the position of his hands too much. Hell, my balance is weaksause, but I think I might be able to pull it off and I've only practiced martial arts for two and a half years. And not in the "This is what I live for"-style of our characters, but a comfy "learning how to kick ass is my hobby next to video games"-kind of way.

As for "faster than the eye"-thing. I think it is, but you have to remember that we're all masters, and that guy was a regular mook. Of course we would have a chance to react, but the guy who probably doesn't even know what a proper guard looks like? Don't think so.

A very beautiful art form. Thanks for sharing.

@knighthawk

No prob. Anything to help my fellow players to flesh out their stuff.

[TheHumbleMagnificent]

@Pathfinder Hokori is accepted! I went ahead and added my relation. Let me know if you want to change anything or pm ideas for more depth.

@Halvtand perfectly answered your gripe, @knighthawk.

[TheHumbleMagnificent]

...Anybody planning on posting soon?

[Pathfinder]

I do.

[Halvtand]

I've been waiting for someone else to post so there'd be two posts between my own. I'll start writing on my next masterpiece.

[TheHumbleMagnificent]

Great stuff so far! I'll most likely get something in either later tonight or tomorrow afternoon. We'll move onto the next stage of this RP for sure on Saturday.

[Halvtand]

@knighthawk I hope you don't mind me portraying Boar as a vicious brute. I thought it would be much better if Yin was actually really scared if the orc, rather than just cautious. I hope it'll lead to some good roleplaying situations later when they have to be together.

Also, here's what I've been thinking about my character's "powers" as a manbeast.
His body is covered in fur, he doesn't really need clothes, but wears pants because of decency. This also means that he doesn't sweat. The pants are made from a vary thin kind of fabric to prevent overheating and it makes a "Frrrrrrap"-sound when he kicks of moves swiftly.
his hands and feet are not fully feline, but not human either. He has claws (retractable) on his hands and feet which are nasty as hell, but nothing compared to a real tiger. His fingers are thicker and not quite as nimble as those of a human. He can still execute grapples, holds and takedowns, but threading a needle is near impossible.
His mouth is filled with sharp teeth, he is a predator after all, and he requires meat to live. He can survive on vegetables, but his stomach will not like it and eventually he'll die from malnutrition.
He has a tail, which is great for balance. This means that his balance is better than that of a human, and he won't fall down easily after being pushed or something like that. Being a cat also means that he'll always land on his feet. The tail can be used in combat as a distraction, for grappling and light attacks (more annoying than harming). It can also be a big weakness as stated in the CS.
Apart from this his senses are a bit better than the average human.

That's what I've got so far. I'll let you know if i can think of something else... Is this allright with everyone, or should I change something?

[knighthawk]

No problem, I love how everyone else is building each other up like this, a crack in the training dummy becomes breaking off a dummy arm which becomes breaking a dummy in half and then to felling trees with one punch.

I see boar grabbing the tail and just slamming the tiger round like a weapon.
