@Pathfinder: You'd be arriving at roughly the same time as the rest of us did, so you'd certainly not have a week to prepare and get accustomed to everything. We're all going into this at the same time (roughly) and alone unless we band up. :P

@The Wanderer: Fair enough! She'll know the work of your weapon as soon as she sees it, (given that she's the only other person who's well-versed in both weaponsmithing at that level and has the knowledge of inscribing crystals) so be prepared for that!

@Melonhead: Some pressing stuff came up yesterday and I wasn't able to actually get a post written up. I should have time tonight, but if you have time beforehand it may be prudent to just get something up so we are securely within the time limit.

I have an exam tomorrow to revise for, so if you could post the IC and make the initial post I'd appreciate it. I'll be able to post within the three day limit (I'm assuming that's what it is.)

@MelonHead

Sure thing. I'll get the initial post up either some time today or some time tomorrow.

So, @Melonhead, how do you want to go about arranging things?

Devil's Storm

The town did not look like it had been deserted long. Of the numerous thoughts that found themselves slipping to and fro within Glyph's mind, that was the only one that seemed to have any persistence. She noted the direction of the wind, the sound of the dirt cracking and parting beneath Cipher's horseshoes, and the smell of the outlands that filled the air. That was how she knew that this hovel had not been left to the demons for too long - it had not yet begun to reek. The wood had not splintered and mouldered and rotted into the brackish tar that was so frequently found in sites that had once been able to sustain some life. She felt a twitch. Cipher? Her? The distinction became unclear on the long days. She didn't know where her legs ended and his body began, but the twitch was something they both recognised. They'd been still for too long.

With a wordless motion, Cipher begun a steady trot forwards towards the very edge of the clifftop.

She looked over the edge once. The leap was not too high. They could run across the air if she was ready. The trot became a gallop, and the gallop continued across the edge of the perch of rock they had found themselves upon until small shimmers of runic energy could be seen beneath the horse's feet, carrying them downwards as if the air was a simple incline in the face of the rock. It was a convenient form of magic to have mastered, Glyph knew, and she was thankful for it as she looked across to her east to see the train pulling into the station of a nearby town. Fresh meat from the Capital? Freelance hunters? Likely a mixture of both. They were known not to get on - the infighting would delay them. She knew that the town could be reached more quickly on horseback than by any other means, if one knew the path and the geography of these outlying lands.

It was perhaps not prudent to consider the inevitable surge of Bounty Hunters at all, in fact. If she hurried, she could investigate the soon-to-be ruin of the town before any of them arrived. Cipher sped up just a little, urging her on in thought and body, and she hunkered down close to his head. The bond of trust was evident, and the purpose with which they moved was undeniable. The world was a simpler place when the only purpose you had was to ride, to feel the winds brush past your skin and the breaths flow shallowly from your lungs to the air around you. The clarity of focus helped Glyph remember her purpose, her reason for continuing. This world had taken everything she had ever loved from her: Mateus, her family, her child. She recounted their names each night. Mateus, Darien, Hashmal. Mateus, Darien, Hashmal. She reminded herself of what she fought for, of what she felt she must do, and of how the world would not conquer her as it had conquered them.

The smarter we are, the more prone to melancholy we become. Glyph had often contemplated on what, precisely, was the downfall of most of her brothers and sisters in arms - and a deep, profound sadness seemed to linger the core of each and every person that walked this barren land. All that thrived in the wasteland was evil and corrupt, and for each hunter that lost their life in the barren wastes, the ash and the corruption grew. Perhaps that was why the demons had not been defeated. Perhaps it was simply not something that was supposed to happen, perhaps that same sadness that drove her forwards had also doomed her to this endlessly repeating nightmare. She paid that thought little mind, however, as she rode towards the ghost town. There was time for philosophy after she had reaped the spoils.

【Personality】

Yodai Touho, before her coronation as Windspeaker, was a troubled woman. Nights of dreamless sleeps and sleepless dreams wore at her confidence, at her faith in herself, until her soul was exposed to the elements that govern the realms of body and mind. For most, an exposed soul leads to trepidation, and to doubt, and eventually to the great sleep - but not for Touho. Touho persisted, despite her exposed soul, and faith brought her back from the darkest place she had ever been in. It has been said, all too often, that once you reach rock bottom there is only one way to go - up. From the depths of despair did Touho rise, opening herself fully and truly to Fuujin, and she prospered.

Windspeaker Touho was never particularly determined or passionate in her youth - days would sail by, and she would sail by with them, idly waiting for something exciting or interesting to happen to her. She had daydreams of fantastical adventures, of a higher purpose, and occasionally of what life could have been like if she had taken a different path. For one who dwells in the dark recesses of the idle mind, the light can become hard to bear, and so did Touho retreat further into the depths of imagination. For the longest time she was stuck there, waiting for something to bring her unrealistic dreams to fruition, until before she realised it she was living her life inside a dream, only waking when she retreated deep into slumber and imagination.

Truth is a light that reveals everything - for better or for worse - and for one so used to the darkness the truth can be unwelcome. The truth offers no comfort, only the harsh gaze of reality, and Touho was used to nothing but comfort for most of her younger life. When shown the path, confronted with the great light, it seems like the best thing to do is retreat, and retreat Touho did until she was back in the comfort of the dark. Change rarely comes easily, but despite her initial apprehension Touho soon begun to see sense, to see the illusions that she had wrapped herself in for what they were, and turned to the light with her exposed soul. The light changed her, not because she saw some grand truth and was stricken by epiphany, but because her very soul was exposed to the universal truth - and at that moment she truly began to believe.

After that, Touho had a life of purpose. She was a Windspeaker, one committed thoroughly to Fuujin, and she used her newfound faith to give herself purpose. She is dedicated to her path, and she knows full well that she cannot retreat into the dark like she did as a child. This inner strength has shown itself multiple times, allowing her to make decisions that weaker beings would falter at, and allowing her to live full well with the consequences of her actions. Perhaps it could be said that she has little appreciation for life or anything she does not deem holy; that may well be true, but it gives her the strength to do what she feels she must, and her convictions are true enough to justify her actions - at least, they are to her and to Fuujin.

Touho is polite, well-spoken, and above all else kind. She may not have suffered the awful fates of some, but she knows that only chance spared her from such things and she shows the compassion and mercy towards the broken and less fortunate people that she feels they deserve. She looks after the lessermost people under her care, and through everything cares for them as much as she cares for herself. Certain values are expected of those who claim to be closest to any deity, and Touho delivers fully on these expectations. She is not kind for fear of damnation, or for any corrupt reason, she is kind because she sees herself a hundred thousand times over whenever she looks at anybody less fortunate than herself, and she would never wish the fate of the less fortunate on anybody because she knows how close she was to becoming one of those people.

There are few truly good souls in the world. Most are marred by imperfection and sin, and even those that claim to be truly golden hide behind a thin veneer of hubris. Perhaps Windspeaker Touho is one of these truly good souls - or perhaps she is not. She does not know, and for the most part, she does not care. Windspeaker Touho burdens herself only with her god and with her people - and for her people, there is no decision so hard that she cannot make it. Brutality and lack of emotion may enter into her heart, for a time, if a situation demands it - but above all else she cares for her people. Everything she does is for their wellbeing, and for the prosperity of her god. If this does not make her a truly good soul, then she is not a truly good soul - and at the end of the day, she cares little for titles.



【History】

"Until Fuujin found me, all I knew was hunger. I hungered not only for food, but for purpose, for a reason to go on. Now I have found that reason - or, more accurately - that reason has found me." - Windspeaker Touho

The woman known as Windspeaker Touho started out life as an orphan, her father dead before her birth and her mother dead giving birth to her. In Shimogakure, this was not necessarily an uncommon fate. There were two major paths for an orphan in Shimogakure - to go to an orphanage, where you would be beated, mistreated, and probably dead within five years... Or to go to the Temple of Fuujin, to be raised as an acolyte, and to be given purpose. Few were given the luxury of the Temple's life, but Windspeaker Touho was chosen - it was said that there was a presence about her that made the priestesses think of Fuujin, and in that respect she was worthy to join the temple.

Touho's early life - or what she remembers of it - was a mixture of chores, scriptures, and more chores. Life was not easy, but every day she ate well and she was kept warm, which was not a feat that all of the inhabitants of Shimogakure could boast. She felt content with her simple life. Days rolled by and as soon as Touho reached the correct age, she was trained in the arts of the Ninja, that she might serve her new god better. At this point, Touho was an arrogant teenager, and she thought she knew everything. She began to doubt that Fuujin even existed, lost faith in the scriptures she had been taught, and rebelled against the system that had spared her from death.

One night, after a particularly intense day of training, Touho found herself at the altar to Fuujin, questioning why she had been put on this path. She must have made some noise, for the revered priestess heard her, and she came over to comfort the young Touho. She explained that Fuujin's winds crossed many paths, and that while the current state of affairs may have seemed bleak, it was just a point on the journey leading Touho to her absolute destination. All she could think was that the revered priestess was full of herself.

Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fuujin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fuujin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Around when Touho was nineteen, the invasion of Shimogakure began in order to cut Kumogakure off from the path of the Bijuu's destruction. The temple of Fuujin was left intact, and none inside were harmed, but Touho could not stand idly by while the rest of her townspeople suffered. She sought to repel the invasion, to single-handedly fight off the forces of an entire village, but she was quickly overwhelmed and taken as hostage.

Following brief negotiations, Touho was released back to the temple and Kumogakure took over the land of Frost entirely, beginning the construction of their wall and the assimilation of the land into the Land of Lightning. Touho hated her oppressors with all of her heart, and begged Fuujin for the power to take back their land, but her prayers fell on deaf ears. She resolved not to lose faith, to see that Fuujin wanted her to prove herself through her own merits, not through divine intervention, and to overthrow the oppression that had dawned upon her.

In Kumogakure proper, Touho met Akaritori, a foreign swordswoman who spoke for justice, and the two conspired to plan murder most foul. Akaritori, despite being a nonbeliever, understood Touho's convictions and helped her understand that justice was justice, regardless of whether or not it was in the name of a deity or within the name of a person. All that mattered was that past wrongdoings were rectified - and for once, Touho agreed. Thus began the coup of Kumogakure that was.

Since then, Touho installed an even larger temple to Fuujin in Yamagakure, and proclaimed herself Windspeaker, leader of the Military arm of the temple, and joint Kage with her close ally Akaritori.

【Canon Jutsu】

Basic Academy Techniques

【Custom Jutsu】

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fuujin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fuuton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly.

In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fuujin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms. These symbols are visible in the air around Touho.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Kin'yoku no Michi [Grace of the Wind God: Path of the Ascetic]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Within the Megumi no Fuujin
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho causes the boundaries of the Megumi no Fuujin to intensify greatly after a delay of a second, causing it to deflect physical objects or projectiles without sufficient mass and speed (Standard bullets, for example, would be easily knocked aside due to their low mass) that come near it. By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Hyōgi-kai no Ishi [Grace of the Wind God: Will of the Council]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Megumi no Fuujin
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates innumerable blades of wind almost invisible to the naked eye within the confines of the Megumi no Fuujin. The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fuujin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 5

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses the Megumi no Fuujin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats herself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fuujin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kaiko no Fuujin [Wind God’s Dismissal]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates an incredible gust of wind (100 feet in length and twenty feet in diameter) in a single direction, buffeting anything it hits and sending them flying backwards if they do not have sufficient mass or are not sufficiently anchored. The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. If an object moves against the gust, it is afflicted with a great deal of air resistance that slows it vastly. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fuujin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Seidō no Fuujin [Wind God’s Sanctuary]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: N/A

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a ring on the ground, up to fifty feet in diameter. The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds, and Windspeaker Touho cannot use offensive techniques for the duration that the Sanctuary is active.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Ran’un [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Storm Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho gathers immense amounts of Fuuton chakra and unleashes the chakra in a constantly expanding sphere. The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Tempest]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 9

Description: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fuujin: Ran’un has been used.

Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Hurricane]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 18

Description: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi has been used.

Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Namida no Fuujin [Tears of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses Fuuton chakra into orbs, roughly a foot in diameter, and hurls them. At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to Fūton: Atsugai at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of ten feet and increasing to twenty five as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away. The explosion reaches its maximum range after a delay of a second.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Ataishinai Handan [Judge Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho manipulates frigid currents of wind to surround a target, trapping them as if they were in the Suirō no Jutsu. Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fuujin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Keibetsu no Fuujin [Wind God’s Contempt]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a gust of wind imbued with Hyouton chakra, resulting in a freezing cold gale that can freeze any water or liquid of similar freezing point to water that it comes into contact with. The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course. The gale is ten feet long and five feet wide.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shidō tame Tangan [Plea for Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho sends a freezing blast of extremely harsh wind in a direction (the area the wind covers is roughly ten feet wide) and maintains her pose as she does so, prolonging the freezing wind for as long as she maintains the pose. The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu [Heavenly Array of Frost]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 10

Description: Windspeaker Touho unleashes a fast, expanding sphere of wind from herself, knocking back all enemies without sufficient mass (this technique is strong enough to uproot trees and significantly damage structures). Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included).

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Akishimo no Gishiki [Rite of Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 18

Description: Windspeaker Touho prepares a vast amount of Hyouton and Fuuton chakra, and unleashes an immense hailstorm in a three hundred foot radius around herself. The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu. The storm will last for three minutes before dissipating. If Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate is used, it will add three minutes to the duration of the storm.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Totsuzen no Akishimo [Sudden Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal - Short
Nature Type: Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 6

Description: Windspeaker Touho emits a freezing ring of energy from her body up to twenty feet in range. Two seconds after the ring has passed through a physical object, it is completely coated in ice and begins to sink into a deep freeze. Totzusen no Akishimo will completely disable all machinery that it affects.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Over the years, Touho's training increased and she became increasingly adept at Fuujin's arts, and she began to see more and more how right the revered priestess was. She dedicated herself to Fuujin's cause entirely, opting to join the military ranks of the priesthood, and continued down the path that she was set on. It was the least she could do for the people that saved her from an otherwise horrible life. Around when Touho was nineteen, the invasion of Shimogakure began in order to cut Kumogakure off from the path of the Bijuu's destruction. The temple of Fuujin was left intact, and none inside were harmed, but Touho could not stand idly by while the rest of her townspeople suffered. She sought to repel the invasion, to single-handedly fight off the forces of an entire village, but she was quickly overwhelmed and taken as hostage.

Following brief negotiations, Touho was released back to the temple and Kumogakure took over the land of Frost entirely, beginning the construction of their wall and the assimilation of the land into the Land of Lightning. Touho hated her oppressors with all of her heart, and begged Fuujin for the power to take back their land, but her prayers fell on deaf ears. She resolved not to lose faith, to see that Fuujin wanted her to prove herself through her own merits, not through divine intervention, and to overthrow the oppression that had dawned upon her.

In Kumogakure proper, Touho met Akaritori, a foreign swordswoman who spoke for justice, and the two conspired to plan murder most foul. Akaritori, despite being a nonbeliever, understood Touho's convictions and helped her understand that justice was justice, regardless of whether or not it was in the name of a deity or within the name of a person. All that mattered was that past wrongdoings were rectified - and for once, Touho agreed. Thus began the coup of Kumogakure that was.

Since then, Touho installed an even larger temple to Fuujin in Yamagakure, and proclaimed herself Windspeaker, leader of the Military arm of the temple, and joint Kage with her close ally Akaritori.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin [Grace of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: By channelling a constant sphere of wind chakra around herself, Windspeaker Touho is able to levitate as if held aloft by currents of wind. She gains a sphere of influence around herself with which she can manipulate wind in myriad ways. The sphere extends six feet from Windspeaker Touho in any given direction. While within the Megumi no Fuujin, Windspeaker Touho is immune to all friendly Fuuton techniques. Windspeaker Touho’s control over the wind is so proficient that she is able to essentially fly.

In addition, instead of performing handsigns, Windspeaker Touho is able to invoke symbols of Fuujin with simple movements that are not necessarily restricted to movement of the hands/arms. These symbols are visible in the air around Touho.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Kin'yoku no Michi [Grace of the Wind God: Path of the Ascetic]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Within the Megumi no Fuujin
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho causes the boundaries of the Megumi no Fuujin to intensify greatly after a delay of a second, causing it to deflect physical objects or projectiles without sufficient mass and speed (Standard bullets, for example, would be easily knocked aside due to their low mass) that come near it. By weaving currents of chakra through the wind, the sphere can also become impermeable to unfriendly chakra, but doing so requires intense focus that prevents the use of other techniques and movement.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Hyōgi-kai no Ishi [Grace of the Wind God: Will of the Council]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Megumi no Fuujin
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates innumerable blades of wind almost invisible to the naked eye within the confines of the Megumi no Fuujin. The blades cannot leave the sphere, but are so sharp and numerous that almost anything that comes into sustained contact with them will suffer immense damage. The blades can be condensed into single, visible blades that can be launched outwards from the Megumi no Fuujin at a significant reduction in power. The blades are shaped like crescent arcs, and despite their relatively reduced firepower they move very quickly and are difficult to avoid. The blades form after a delay of one second, and dissipate after ten seconds.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Megumi no Fuujin: Reitekina Yoroi [Grace of the Wind God: Spiritual Armour]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 5

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses the Megumi no Fuujin, removing all access to its abilities except its levitation and flight, and coats herself in a thick veneer of wind. All physical projectiles without sufficient mass or velocity (Note: This effect is significantly stronger than that of the Megumi no Fuujin) that would come into contact with the armour are deflected, and Windspeaker Touho’s speed is vastly increased (she can move along the ground at a speed of between 50 to 70 feet per second). In addition, Windspeaker Touho’s taijutsu attacks become significantly more deadly, using the force of the wind surrounding her to lacerate the areas she hits subcutaneously. If she would hit an open wound, she is instead able to cause major damage to internal organs in the surrounding area.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kaiko no Fuujin [Wind God’s Dismissal]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates an incredible gust of wind (100 feet in length and twenty feet in diameter) in a single direction, buffeting anything it hits and sending them flying backwards if they do not have sufficient mass or are not sufficiently anchored. The gust persists for ten seconds, gradually decreasing in potency as it does so. If an object moves with the gust, its speed is dramatically increased. If an object moves against the gust, it is afflicted with a great deal of air resistance that slows it vastly. While Windspeaker Touho is within the Megumi no Fuujin, she is unaffected by the technique unless she chooses to be.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Seidō no Fuujin [Wind God’s Sanctuary]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: N/A

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a ring on the ground, up to fifty feet in diameter. The ring creates a stream of wind that physical objects and mana cannot pass through in either direction, allowing her to provide sanctuary to allies or isolate enemies. The wind only lasts for a maximum of sixty seconds. The Sanctuary must form over the course of three seconds, and Windspeaker Touho cannot use offensive techniques for the duration that the Sanctuary is active.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Ran’un [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Storm Clouds]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho gathers immense amounts of Fuuton chakra and unleashes the chakra in a constantly expanding sphere. The sphere will travel for fifty feet before dissipating, carrying any physical objects with insufficient mass or not rooted to the ground with it. As soon as the sphere dissipates, strong winds begin to gather in the area that disrupt movement and leave small lacerations in exposed skin.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Tempest]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 9

Description: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fuujin: Ran’un has been used.

Windspeaker Touho increases the intensity of the winds created by Ran’un, causing them to become strong enough to cause light cuts through leather armour and cut deeply into exposed flesh. The winds become strong enough that moving against their currents is nigh impossible without a significant amount of physical force, and the winds are so intense at the edges of the technique that physical objects may not enter or leave unless they have sufficient mass or velocity.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate [Wind God’s Divine Whirlwind: Hurricane]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 18

Description: Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate cannot be used until Kamikaze no Fuujin: Arashi has been used.

Windspeaker Touho brings the winds to their most intense level, strong enough to uproot old trees with ease and severely damage plate armour. The area of the technique doubles, and Windspeaker Touho has complete control over the direction of the winds at all times.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Namida no Fuujin [Tears of the Wind God]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Medium-Long
Nature Type: Fuuton
Symbols of Fuujin: 2

Description: Windspeaker Touho condenses Fuuton chakra into orbs, roughly a foot in diameter, and hurls them. At any point along the path, or when the orbs reach a hundred feet away, they explode in a sphere of wind identical to Fūton: Atsugai at maximum power. Windspeaker Touho can only make two orbs per five minutes. The explosion created by the orbs can reach a maximum of a fifty foot radius. The orbs gain in power as they travel, starting as an explosion of ten feet and increasing to twenty five as they travel to an upper limit of fifty feet away. The explosion reaches its maximum range after a delay of a second.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Ataishinai Handan [Judge Unworthy]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho manipulates frigid currents of wind to surround a target, trapping them as if they were in the Suirō no Jutsu. Over time, the sheer cold of the wind will begin to induce frostbite in exposed flesh. The prison can only be maintained while it is within two feet of the Megumi no Fuujin, after which it dissipates immediately. The winds form over the course of two seconds, and dissipate if the target leaves a radius of ten feet away from Touho during this time.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Keibetsu no Fuujin [Wind God’s Contempt]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 1

Description: Windspeaker Touho creates a gust of wind imbued with Hyouton chakra, resulting in a freezing cold gale that can freeze any water or liquid of similar freezing point to water that it comes into contact with. The gale is extremely easy to control, but it cannot leave a fifty foot radius of Windspeaker Touho. The wind is strong enough to knock most standard projectiles off course. The gale is ten feet long and five feet wide.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Shidō tame Tangan [Plea for Guidance]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 3

Description: Windspeaker Touho sends a freezing blast of extremely harsh wind in a direction (the area the wind covers is roughly ten feet wide) and maintains her pose as she does so, prolonging the freezing wind for as long as she maintains the pose. The wind is so cold that ice begins to crystallise on all physical objects caught within it for more than a few seconds, and after four seconds caught in the wind the target is encased in a block of solid ice.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu [Heavenly Array of Frost]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: B
Range: Short - Mid
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 10

Description: Windspeaker Touho unleashes a fast, expanding sphere of wind from herself, knocking back all enemies without sufficient mass (this technique is strong enough to uproot trees and significantly damage structures). Additionally, the sphere leaves behind a thin veneer of frost chakra, causing any physical objects that pass through it to be coated in the chakra and frozen solid. Tenno Shimo no Hairetsu extinguishes almost all fire that it encounters (very powerful flames not included).

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Akishimo no Gishiki [Rite of Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Nature Type: Fuuton/Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 18

Description: Windspeaker Touho prepares a vast amount of Hyouton and Fuuton chakra, and unleashes an immense hailstorm in a three hundred foot radius around herself. The storm is so vicious and so cold that enemies with insufficient insulation will succumb to frostbite and hypothermia rapidly. The winds are not particularly strong, but if this technique and Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate are used simultaneously, the result is a storm so powerful that it threatens destruction on the scale of the Bijuu. The storm will last for three minutes before dissipating. If Kamikaze no Fuujin: Hayate is used, it will add three minutes to the duration of the storm.

Weakness: Interpret it yourself.

Name of Technique: Totsuzen no Akishimo [Sudden Frostfall]
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Range: Personal - Short
Nature Type: Hyouton
Symbols of Fuujin: 6

Description: Windspeaker Touho emits a freezing ring of energy from her body up to twenty feet in range. Two seconds after the ring has passed through a physical object, it is completely coated in ice and begins to sink into a deep freeze. Totzusen no Akishimo will completely disable all machinery that it affects.
Weakness: Interpret it yourself.
