Name: Nakayama Madoka
Clan: Clanless
Birthplace: Metropolis
Current Residence: Iwagakure
Age: 17
D.O.B.: 2099
Sex: Female

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

//Appearance//

-Height: 168cm
-Weight: 58kg
-Hair Color: Dark Red
-Eye Color: Blue
-Clothing: Madoka changes clothes extremely frequently, often going through multiple outfits in a day. For casual wear and nights out her style trends more feminine, often combining skirts, tights, various jewellery and form-fitting tops and jackets or sweaters. As with all her clothing, colours and styles often vary widely, though her most common apparel is in blue, black, red or grey. Madoka doesn’t shy away from showing some skin, showing off her legs in between tights and skirt or midriff. If using neither of those styles, she typically wears tops cut low enough to emphasise her other assets. For more practical tasks she generally dresses in jeans and looser shirts, typically without sleeves to ensure total freedom of movement.
-Physical Description: The most obvious thing about Madoka is always her ever-present smile. She genuinely loves life and everything it throws at her, for better or worse. The second thing, most commonly, is her beauty. Long hair that falls almost to her waist, toned muscles, long slender legs and just enough curves to entice the unwary. Her delicate features only enhance the overall image, her ever-present grin promising a happy, if exasperating, experience. Madoka is always moving, always fidgeting or tapping her fingers or spinning a kunai. A natural athlete, she moves gracefully and often arrogantly, knowing that very few can match her finesse and completely happy about it. As with most spoiled teenage girls Madoka is quite vain and takes care to maintain her appearance, the more public the setting the more effort invested.

//Persona//

Personality: Madoka is a cheerful, mischievous young woman. Endlessly vivacious, she does tend to suffer from an extremely short attention span and an overabundance of energy. She fidgets and twitches constantly, never completely coming to a stop for even a second. Her mind changes as quickly as the wind, often irreverently or even inappropriately doing her own thing regardless of social convention. With no regard for tradition or routine, Madoka is cheeky, a vocal advocate of change for no other reason than enjoying the chaos. As a result she is frequently impulsive to a fault, reckless and whimsical. Madoka does what she wants when she wants without giving a damn about what strangers think of her. At the same time she is fundamentally a social creature, bouncing ideas off others, socialising and getting into trouble. So although the opinions of strangers tend not to matter to her, she can be influenced by the opinions of her friends and acquaintances. She cares deeply for those she has allowed into her life, and will not see them hurt if she can stop it from happening. Even if sometimes this instinct goes against her better judgement, protecting the people she has claimed as hers isn’t something she is willing to throw away for anything.

She treats life like a game, finding a joke in anything and everything. Anything passed up is a wasted opportunity, and when even laws are guidelines the rules are virtually worthless. Madoka lives by her own code, ignoring the dictums of the masses. An anarchist at heart, Madoka does have a strong moral and ethical code that governs her actions. At times similar to legal restrictions and at others completely counter to them, attempting to predict her is often a waste of everyone’s time. The only thing you can reliably predict about her is her absolute disdain for all things boring; meetings, routine training, D-rank missions all bore the pants off her and she will go to a great deal of effort to avoid them- even more effort than would be used on said boring activity.

Even in combat and bloodshed, Madoka treats life like a game. Forbidden techniques? Just an invitation to use them. Lacerations, broken bones and the risk of death? Price of admission. Killing other human beings? They paid the same price of admission. Not a fair fight? Life isn’t fair, thanks for playing. In combat, the most sociopathic side of Madoka’s personality comes to the fore. When the blood starts flying, Madoka’s normally low level of concern and human compassion for all but her friends drops to zero. A fight is a contest and all’s fair in love and war. The only kind of fight she doesn’t really get into are the fights where the outcome is predetermined; her sense of anarchy and chaos drives her to riskier techniques just to kill her own boredom. If and when Madoka does die, probably covered in her and her foe's blood, she'll do so with a manic grin and a cheerful curse on her lips.

Dislikes: Discomfort, cold, the sticks, stupid people, clingy people.

History: Nakayama Madoka was born and always will be an odd duck in the world. Born to prosperous merchants in Metropolis, Madoka was five when hostile forces occupied Iwagakure. However, far away from the conflict as she was and sheltered as much as possible by her parents, the terror attack and subsequent siege didn’t trouble the young girl in the slightest. Instead her day was filled with lessons in etiquette, manners, languages and dialects, trade and mercantile law. Following in her elder sister’s footsteps, by the time she was seven Madoka had learned the business of buying and selling in intricate detail, rising to a level where she could have outmanoeuvred nearly any merchant in the capitol. Perfectly protected inside her father’s manor, Madoka was a perfectly obedient child in every way, carefully moulded into her parent’s dream child.

The Kumogakure Blitz changed Madoka’s life permanently, jarring her from her parent’s plan for her life in an event she describes as ‘scales falling from her eyes’. As Iwagakure and Metropolis were occupied by invading shinobi and quickly formed into the NCIA, seven-year-old Madoka revelled in the chaos so unlike anything else she had ever experienced. With the city’s economy seized by the occupying shinobi, her parents were drafted into the new regime’s machinery, regulating the county’s economy in exchange for preferential treatment. With the aegis of Kumogakure’s shinobi, Madoka took advantage of her parent’s preoccupation to break out of the shell she had lived in. Experimenting with theft and low-level criminal behaviour, Madoka fell in love with humanity. She explored and adventured without restriction or rebuke, coming to know the city’s darkest corners and deepest secrets and bartering what she found for money to support her new lifestyle.

Unlike most caught in the grip of the Kumogakure Empire, Madoka and her parents were never truly unhappy with the invasion. Her parents for the added responsibility and power given to them in the wake of the invasion, Madoka for the new life and experiences that had come with the violent upheaval. The only member of Madoka’s family truly upset and angry at the invasion was her sister, who was severely injured by a wayward jutsu. Many of Nakayama Momoka’s friends were crippled or killed in that same attack, birthing a vendetta that lasts to this day, and the catalyst of many arguments between parents and eldest daughter. When Tsuchi no Kuni and Metropolis were finally freed from Kumogakure’s control in 2109, Mokoka moved out of Metropolis leaving Madoka alone with her parents. While the Nakayama family survived Kumogakure’s removal by copious favours and claims of threats and forced labour, Madoka had been changed permanently from the meek young girl of years prior. As Madoka entered her teenage years her thirst for adventure and excitement grew, becoming more and more unsettled in her confining home environment.

More and more, Madoka yearned to see the world and meet as many different people as she could. Using the skills her parents had drilled into her, Madoka was able to acquire and read some basic Iwagakure Academy textbooks, teaching herself to use chakra in preparation for the future. For years the tension in the Nakayama family grew, eventually reaching breaking point when Madoka was caught stealing a particularly valuable and rare ninja tome from one of the largest bookstores in the city. Her parents connections ensured that no charges were ever made, but Madoka’s patience had reached its limit. Threatening her parents with her own felony, Madoka threatened to turn herself into the police and confess the truth of her parent’s voluntary work during the NCIA occupation if she was not allowed to enrol in Iwagakure’s shinobi forces. Torn between irreparable damage to their reputation and the loss of their daughter, they finally relented realising that they would lose their daughter either way. Shortly afterwards Madoka was recognised as an official Genin of Iwagakure her age, half decade of self-study and parent’s connections allowing her to pass the academy final exams immediately after her arrival.

Path of the Marksman
Effect: Characters with this path receive +15 equipment slots per rank.
Choose Two:
Fast Hands: As a Setup Phase action you may add one small weapon to a Main Phase action. The small weapon's damage and effects are added to the attack and the weapon is considered to be "thrown" afterwards. This ability may not be used more than once every three (3) turns. Once per turn the user may draw or sheath two (2) Medium Weapons or one (1) Large Weapon as a free action in any phase.
Perfect Aim: Characters with this ability are unaffected by Accuracy changes created by terrain and climate effects. In addition, once per battle they may have a single thrown weapon attack ignore any abilities or effects that modifier their Accuracy or their target's Evasion outside of the base stats.
Description: One who follows the Path of the Marksman has dedicated themselves entirely to the art of killing from afar; they hone their skills with steel as much as any shinobi does their fist or chakra. Often striking from unpredictable angles, these warriors rely less on chakra than any other shinobi, making them extremely mobile and deadly.
Cost: -1
Advanced Paths: Assassin, Warlord, Engineer

Walking a Different Path
Effect: You may chose a new Basic Path. You retroactively lose all bonuses and effects of your original Basic Path. If you bought any skills at a reduced cost with your original Basic Path, you may 'unlearn' those skills, otherwise you must pay full SP for their effects. Any other bonuses (such as additional JP) will be lost as well. If you do not have enough available JP to pay for techniques your character has previously learned, you will go into the negatives until you level up enough to pay the difference.
Description: After a while, some Ninja decide that the 'path' that they are following is not suited for them. Instead, they will choose to embark upon a new career, hoping that it will be more suitable for them.
Cost: -1
Ranks: 1/1

Path of the Warrior
Effect: Gain 1 extra Jutsu Point every other level.
Warrior's Way (Choose Two):
Brutal Warrior: May take 2 Ranks of 'Martial Artist' for 1 skill point.
Weapon Warrior: May take 2 Ranks of 'Warrior (weapon)' for 1 skill point.
Cost: -0 (Walking a Different Path)
Advanced Paths: Assassin, Warlord, Mercenary
 
Monkey Grip
Description: Some shinobi have honed their strength and skill when wielding a large weapon to such a degree that it they have gained the ability to wield such weapons with a single hand.
Effect: This character may now wield Large Weapons in a single hand.
Requirements: Warrior (10 Ranks) OR Path of the Warrior: Weapon Warrior
Cost: -1
Merchant X
Effect: You get a 50% discount at stores.
Description: Smooth talker, you never pay full price.
Cost: -1
Ranks: 10/10

Mountain Ox Style
Requirements: Iwagakure Ninja or 5 post training session with a ninja who already knows this skill.
Effect: The user of the Ox Style gains an Ox Charge each time they use an Ox Style technique instead of when they land a successful hit. Ox Charges may be spent in one of the three following ways.
1. The user may spend an Ox Charge during their Main Phase to increase the damage of an Mountain Ox Style technique by 5x% as well as increasing their Defense stat by 10x% until their following Main Phase, where x is the amount of charges spent.
2. The user may perform a technique that requires the use of Ox Charges.
Description: A good offense is the best defense, and the Mountain Ox Style takes this philosophy to the mat, literally. This martial art makes use of low attacks, grapples and throws that keep a low center of gravity and strong hand techniques, notably the bridge hand and the versatile tiger claw. Students of this style often spend hours in training only standing in a single low stance, which builds strength and focus. Mountain Ox Style is sometimes mis-characterized as solely external; that is, reliant on brute physical force; even though the student advances progressively towards an internal focus.
Cost: -0 (Iwagakure Nin)

Martial Artist (Mountain Ox Style) II
Effect: For each rank of this skill choose a Taijutsu Style. Taijutsu of the chosen Style deal a bonus +5 damage per ninja rank of the technique (per skill rank). You may choose "Styleless" Taijutsu as your chosen style, which would include any Taijutsu that does not fall under a specific type of fighting style. Basic Attacks deal a bonus +3 damage per strike (per rank).
Ex: Genin techniques gain +5 damage, Chuunin techniques gain +10 damage, etc.
Ex: Genin Basic attacks gain +3 damage per strike, Chuunin +6 per strike, etc.
Description: You put the art in martial arts. Your expertise with the style that you possess puts others to shame and enemies to the ground.
Cost: -1
Ranks: 2/10 (Path of the Warrior)

Warrior (Odachi) IV
Description: A skilled and practiced veteran of your craft.
Effect: For each rank of this skill choose a specific weapon type. A weapon attack from the chosen weapon will deal a bonus +5 Damage per strike (per rank). Double this bonus for large weapon strikes.
Cost: -1
Ranks: 4/10 (Path of the Warrior)

Requirements: Path of the Warlord; Advanced Weapon Warrior

Cost: -2

Seimon // Third Gate
Description: Located in the spine, the Third Gate presides over the flow of information within the body. By releasing neural inhibitors, the body is able to correlate it's motions flawlessly, each part of the body moving in perfect unison. The undamned highways of the nervous system cause damage to the body though, as the electrical impulses from the brain are magnified to a greater extent. At this gate, the coloration of the skin changes to a deep crimson, revealing the enhanced blood/oxygen levels within the body.
Effect: When activated, the user's Taijutsu, Speed, and Evasion stats are increased by 2x. The user's level being equivalent to x. The statistical bonus granted by this skill may never be less than +90 at any time. As an upkeep cost, the user must pay 3% of their total Health Points every turn. After a battle in which the user opens Seimon, a full day (RL) and no less 3 days (IC) must be spent in hospitalization and a recovery training of 1000 words must be fulfilled. This skill may only be taken by ninja of level 30 or higher.
Restriction: Level 30
Cost: -2
Training: Life to the Fullest

Thundering Auroch Style
Requirements: Kaimon, Mountain Ox Style, Nakayama Madoka
Effect: Upon activation, all of the user's Ox Charges are converted to Thunder Charges. As long as the style remains active, all taijutsu and weapon attacks are considered to be of the [sound] element in addition to their other effects. The user cannot apply Wind or Lightning's effects to attacks made this way. Like Ox Charges, Thunder Charges are gained after an attack is made, not if it hits. On consecutive turns that a Thunder Charge is not gained, the user loses one Thunder Charge for each turn passed in this way. Thundering Auroch techniques may only be performed while the user is equipped with a medium or large weapon. Should the Eight Gates be deactivated, Thundering Auroch Style is immediately deactivated as well and all Thunder Charges revert to Ox Charges. Thundering Auroch Style is considered Mountain Ox Style for all purposes and Thunder Charges may be used instead of Ox Charges to activate effects or techniques, but may not pay for both Mountain Ox and Thundering Auroch abilities in the same turn.
0 Charges: No bonus.
1 Charge: The user gains +15% chance that [sound] Element attacks will inflict one turn of 'Deafened'.
2 Charges: The user gains +30% chance that [sound] Element attacks will inflict one turn of 'Deafened'.
3 Charges: The user gains +45% chance that [sound] Element attacks will inflict one turn of 'Deafened'.
4 Charges: The user gains +60% chance that [sound] Element attacks will inflict one turn of 'Deafened'.
5 Charges: The user gains +75% chance that [sound] Element attacks will inflict one turn of 'Deafened'.
In addition, the user may choose to spend 'x' Thunder Charges as a free action in their Main Phase to add the following effects to their next attack: Ignore 5x% of the enemy's defense, increase your accuracy by 5x%
Description: Upon the release of the Eight Gates Madoka's overwhelming power explodes forth, transforming the Mountain Ox into a Thundering Auroch. Coupled with her natural affinities for Wind and Lightning, the very use of an Auroch technique reverberates through the atmosphere and resounds with the force of an inescapable sonic boom. The longer the battle the more her momentum increases and the stronger her bursts become, increasing the chance to inflict hearing loss on any unfortunate targets. However, as the sound disspiates over time techniques must be continually used to maintain its devastating impact. Furthermore, the user can expend the amassed energy at will to imbue their next strike with a shrieking sonic wave that makes dodging nearly impossible. This sonic field can cause significant internal damage on a hit, crippling even the strongest foes.
Cost: -3, 10-post training
Training: Cascading Thunder

Resounding Thunder
Requires: Thundering Auroch Style
Effect: Whenever this character opens one of the Eight Gates while Thundering Auroch Style is active, roll a D8. If the number rolled is equal to or lower than the number of the Gate opened, the user gains one Thunder Charge. On a turn that this skill grants the user a Thunder Charge, Thundering Auroch Style techniques will only give the user a Thunder Charge on a successful hit.
Description: As more of the Eight Gates are unsealed and Madoka's power grows, the shockwaves of each Gate's release can be compressed and harnessed, accelerating her ascent to full power. The more devastating and powerful the Gate, the easier these tremors are to harness and use.
Cost: -1

Gate Mastery III
Bloodline: N/A [Requires Permission]
Description: A true Gate Master is rare in the world. Few can accomplish the task of understanding their body at its fundamental cores. Knowing your extreme limits, and being able to release that extra ounce of power from them is a power few can truly say they possess. But to be a Master is to know this power and more.
Effect: For each rank in this skill, when determining positive side effects of the Eight Celestial Gates, the user’s level is considered 10 levels higher than what it actually is.
Restrictions: The User MUST have unlocked the gate that corresponds to each rank in order to upgrade this skill (Rank 1 requires Kaimon, Rank 2 requires Kyumon, etc).
Cost: -1
Ranks: 3/3

Gate Affinity III
Bloodline: N/A [Requires Permission]
Description: Having often used the Gates, the user’s body is more attuned to the stress and the pain accompanying the gates. This means that recovery periods become shorter between when the gate is used and when the body can be fully ready for combat again.
Effect: For each rank in this skill, the user requires 1 less RL day, 2 less IC days, and 1000 less words to recover from any gate symptoms. This CAN reduce those symptoms to 0.
Restrictions: The User MUST have unlocked the gate that corresponds to each rank in order to upgrade this skill (Rank 1 requires Kaimon, Rank 2 requires Kyumon, etc).
Cost: -1
Ranks: 3/3

Ex: Genin techniques cost -5 Stamina, Chuunin techniques cost -10 Stamina, etc.
Description: Your stamina knows no bounds! Your body is able to push harder and for longer durations than that of your companions.
Cost: -1
Ranks: 4/10

Stubborn Grit
Description: Some ninja are gutsy, and some ninja are smart, and some have their own ideals that help drive them on. There are also ninja who are just too damn stubborn to die. These determined individuals don't talk a big game when things look bad, they just get pissed off and strive even harder to knock down whatever stands in their way.
Effect: This skill may be activated in any phase as a free action. Once per battle, a character with this skill may choose one of the following effects when their Health is at or below 25% of its total. This skill may not be used if the skill ‘My Ninja Way’, ‘Guts Pose’, ‘Stroke Of Genius’, or ‘Healer’s Passion’ have been activated by this character during this battle.

Skills learned from Jounins:
Kaimon // First Gate
Description: The First Gate is a fail-safe that limits the output of the muscular system. By opening this gate, located in the brain, a person is able to nearly quintuple their physical performance in almost every aspect. These extreme results are not perfect, and much like all of the Eight Gates, cause wear and tear on the body. Slight breakdown and tearing has been noted in muscle tissue after having been effected by the Gate Of Opening, and fatigue has been shown to set in quickly.
Effect: When activated, the user's Taijutsu, Speed, and Evasion stats are increased by 2x. The user's level being equivalent to x. The statistical bonus granted by this skill may never be less than +20 at any time. As an upkeep cost, the user must pay 5% of their total Stamina Points every turn.

Kyumon // Second Gate
Description: The Second Gate is the other gate located within the brain. This gate limits the production of endorphins and keeps the heart-rate in check. Releasing this gate floods the body with endorphins, relieving feelings of pain and fatigue, despite the continual breakdown of the muscles. An increased heart-rate allows oxygen to reach the muscles more quickly, preventing oxygen debt and keeping lactic acid from building up within the muscle tissue.
Effect: After activating, the user gains the ability to recover 3x Health Points and Stamina as a free action during their setup phase at any point during the battle while this gate is open.. The user's level being equivalent to x. This increase may not exceed the user's maximum in either stat pool, and this ability may only be used once per battle.

Cost: 110 Stamina
Damage: 60
Effect: The target is [Clobbered] for one turn.
Description: The sheer mass of a swung Odachi can easily induce temporary light-headedness in its victims. In many cases such a large weapon has been documented as an effective improvised iron club, inflicting crippling damage by virtue of its sheer weight and velocity.
JP: 4 (8)

When this technique is used, the user loses their Main Phase.
Description: The Thundering Auroch Style is one that produces a great deal of energy, sonic emanations that with a little effort can be converted into a short-term impediment against physical attacks. Though extremely short-lived, sometimes a split-second’s defense can make all the difference.
JP: 4 (8)

Razor Sound
Type: Taijutsu [Weapon Technique; Odachi; Thundering Auroch Style]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 114 Stamina
Damage: 30
Effect: The target suffers from [bleeding; 60] for 2 turns.

JP: 5

Jonin Taijutsu

Tempest Flash | Arashi Senkō

Type: Taijutsu [Weapon Jutsu; Odachi | Thundering Auroch Style | Travel | Hachimon | Multi-Strike]

Rank: Jonin

Cost: 270 Stamina, 1 Thunder Charge

Strike 1: 40 Damage, 'Exposed' for one turn.

Strike 2: 340 Damage

Effect: This technique is composed of two strikes; both strikes must target the same character. You may not use this technique unless ‘Seimon’ is active. This technique can be used twice per battle. When this technique is used, before modifiers are calculated and for one turn Celestial Gates do not boost Taijutsu or Evasion; any stat boosts from the Eight Gates to those stats are added to this character’s speed instead. For one turn after this technique's effects resolve, stat boosts provided by the Eight Gates are halved. When this technique is used during a travel thread, the user may reduce the required word-count by 50% (rounded up).

Description: A delicate technique that demands great mastery over the body and the Eight Celestial Gates, the Tempest Flash is the fastest technique in Madoka’s arsenal. Focusing all of the power released by the Eight Gates into the legs for speed, the Tempest Flash appears as no more than a shining, screaming blur. Such is the incredible speed of this technique that it creates a pressure wave of compact air before the user, often surprising and unbalancing the target before the true attack even comes. Overuse of this technique is heavily damaging on the user's legs, necessitating a short recovery period after each use. This technique can also be held at a lesser intensity, vastly increasing travelling speed.

JP: 9

 

 

Genin Ninjutsu

Kamigami | Hair God
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: Genin
Cost: x (up to 20) (x = a+b+c; a=1 if changing the texture, b=1 per inch grown or shrunk, c=1 per color added/changed to)
Damage: N/A
Effects: Changes the texture, length, and color of the user's hair. Adds 1 to the missing-nin modifier per 5 chakra spent.
Description: A relatively simple technique in which the user charges their hair with chakra in order to mold it so as to better their disguises... or perhaps as a way to circumvent any need to spend their earnings on the trivial cosmetical pursuit of the perfect hair.
JP: 1

Hybrid Jutsu

Shunshin No Jutsu | Body Flicker Technique | 瞬身の術
Type: Ninjutsu-Taijutsu [Void | Style-Less | Response | Evolving]
Rank: Chūnin
Cost: 75 Chakra; 75 Stamina
Effect: This technique may only be used in the Response Phase and is done before any Dodge rolls. The user of this technique gains +20% to dodge during the Response Phase that this technique is used. This technique must be referenced in the dodge roll that it is affecting. This technique has a 10% chance to fail per rank of the unresolved attack when performed. This technique may be performed 2 times per battle.
Description: One of the basic techniques taught to most students during their time at the academy. The Body Flicker Technique is considered an extremely versatile ability, and is one of the most widely used general shinobi skills. The jutsu itself is a high-speed movement ability that uses chakra to temporarily vitalize the body, allowing movement that is nearly untraceable to the naked eye. The user often disappears from the field of their opponent’s vision in a puff of smoke, as a means to further distract their path of escape. Though Shunshin has many applications, its most common use is in evading hazardous attacks.
JP: 6 [Evolving 1; Shunshin no Jutsu]
Jutsu learned from Jounins: None

"Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work."

Description: It's unknown how the sturdy, metal plates that make up this set of leg-armor has existed, though they appear to predate the founding of the Hidden Villages, and are remniscent of the style of the Warring States Era. Some place the leg armor back to even earlier points in history, but what is known is that the armor has always seemed to embue its wearer with unnatural quickness, almost as if they had lightning coursing through their veins. Those who wear the Lightning Greaves are often able to move faster, and with more agility than even the quickest foe.

--Weapons:
-Main Weapon:

Kyōshinken | 共振剣 | Resonant Blade

Type: Odachi

Size: Large

Level: 50

Special Effects:

Resonance

Description: One of Kyoshinken's unique properties it is incredible resilience, especially under the aegis of a properly trained wielder. The blade is so durable that in the throes of battle its intense vibration can provide a kind of sonic barrier, protecting it from crippling damage.

Effect: When Kyoshinken would be destroyed by a 'Destroy Weapon' effect and its wielder has three or more Thunder Charges, the user may choose to negate the effect. If they choose to negate the effect, they are reduced to zero Thunder Charges.

High-Frequency Cuts

Description: One of the unique capabilities of Kyoshinken is it's tendency to vibrate while in use, especially when used in concert with certain techniques. This high frequency vibration turns any hit into a series of dozens of individual cuts, compromising any armour the target might be wearing and hammering through with comparatively little effort.

Effect: When this is weapon is used as part of a [sound] attack, the target only applies 30% of defensive bonuses granted by items.

Attributes: Indestructible, Sharpened Edge, Razor Edge, Pristine Edge, Link Formation, Inlaid Element [sound], Elemental Resonance [sound], Chakra Blade, Greater Affliction; [Exposed], Unique

Description: An oversized katana comissioned by Nakayama Madoka upon her promotion to Genin and arrival in Iwagakure, Kyōshinken is a solid, durableblade made of the finest steel Iwagakure can mine. While its great weight and length demands that it be wielded in two hands, its single edge means that the bearer can rest the blade's back against their shoulder for ease of carrying. Honed to the finest edge possible and tempered to be virtually indestructible, Kyōshinken cost almost the entirety of Madoka's savings from her activities in Metropolis. It also incorporates a chain-link coil inside the weapon's grip, allowing the blade to be detatched and attack from range and retract at the wielder's command. Though functionally complete, the structure of the blade does allow for more future modifications (both mundane and esoteric) should the opportunity arise.
