Powers And Abilities

Ki - This simple power is extremely effective and is composed of Ayamu's raw life energy. Ayumu channels her ki and launches it at a target or enemy. This ability can be executed as an energy wave or as an aimed blast from the palm of the hand. When different executions of this ability are chained together in combat, it is extremely effective. Not only is Ki used as an offensive tactic, it is also used in Ayumu's defensive, mid-range, and short-range moves.

Healing - When Ayumu's Ki is harnessed and channeled through the tips of her fingers, she is able to heal someone else by donating her Ki. This leaves her in a weakened or dazed state if she gives too much away all at once. When healing herself, she doesn't need to do anything in order for wounds to heal. Ayumu's Ki heals her wounds immediately even during combat, and she does not have to control it to do so. This is similar to how a reflex works.

Mirage - A complex, long-range or mid-range ability, Ayumu can create a mirage, or illusion, of anything she wishes. These images can be seen along the ground or wherever Ayumu believes the trickery is more useful. A mirage is only conjured when Ayumu has the image in her mind, and is executed when Ayumu exerts some of her ki. Neither an offensive or defensive move, it is more likely that Auymu uses this to create distractions and proxies when necessary. She cannot conjure true clones with this technique, yet she is able to create false, temporary and intangible ones.

Imagery - This ability works in a similar way when compared to Ayumu's Mirage technique. However, Imagery is far more powerful and Ki-draining. Imagery only works when Ayumu has a mirror with her. In reflecting a mirage she conjured, she can make her Mirage come to life under her control. She cannot conjure any kind of clone of herself using this technique.

Mirror & Image Walking - Ayumu requires none of her Ki to perform this ability. Since Ayumu originated from a painting herself, she can enter through mirrors or paintings and appear in a different place where another mirror or painting is located. This is similar to teleportation. While she is within a mirror or painting, she cannot use her Ki or her other abilities. She simply becomes a part of the painting, or a lonely reflection in the mriror, and moves through it to another mirror or painting.

Doppelgӓnger Reflections - Several hundred Mirage-Based clones can be produced with Ayumu's entire reserve of Ki, yet the maximum number of true clones she can produce without fainting on the spot from exhaustion is only a dozen or so. Since this move drains her Ki very quickly, the clones come in handy for whenever she really needs them, and their purposes are endless. All of the true clones she conjures wield all her abilites and powers, with the exception of this ability. While they may be only twenty-five percent as srong as the real Ayumu, they are just as cunning. When clones are defeated, or simply dismissed by Ayumu, they either break apart like shattered glass or melt into a puddle of black ink.

Aura Sensory - A spirit herself, Ayumu has extremely acute nerves and senses. Able to see other spirits, ghosts, wisps of another being's aura, and powerful spirit energy, Ayumu can detect the source and define the nature (positive/negative, strong/weak, male/female, demon/human) of the aura(s) around her. She will sense any nearby auras within a quarter-mile radius at best.

Intangibility - Without using up any of her Ki, Ayumu is able to make herself translucent, and anything tangible cannot harm her. She has mastered this technique enough so that she may use her Ki while intangible. This is mainly used as a form of defense, ambush tactic, or means of escape. Ayumu can only become intangible for about half an hour at most. If she exceeds that limit she is either drained and can pass out immediately after becoming tangible again, or on the brink of ceasing to exist.

Counter Illusion - As the Spirit of Illusions, Ayumu can tell when an enemy is trying to confuse her with an illusion of their own. Depending on the strength of the opponent's move, she may or may not be affected by it. However, she can ricochet the illusion back to whoever cast it so as to counter her enemy's original plans.

Foresight - Ayumu is not a seer, but she may tap into a spiritual state of mind, and then see visions of catastrophes, important events, battles and other such things in the near future. This ability requires a well-sized portion of her Ki, and will cause her severe migrains and nausea if she is in her spiritual state of mind for longer than twenty minutes.

Dry Ice And Smokescreen - Dry ice and smokescreen that Ayumu shoots out of her hands and mouth to make sure she can make a quick getaway. Dry ice is a water-based move and smokescreen is the fire-based one. When dry ice is sprayed, it is a white puff of cold smoke that does not allow her target to see through it. If smokescreen is used, a black ash cloud accumulates in front of her target, making it feel hot and almost suffocate from the smoke. Both of these moves require a chunk of her Ki, depending on the area the dry ice/smokescreen will cover.

Kaleidoscope

This is her most powerful move, and can only be used when her Ki reserve is full. Think of this move as Imagery, Doppelgӓnger Reflections and Mirror-Walking all put together while putting her weapons to good use. [/center]

Ayumu begins by creating one hundred mirrors of Ki, and aligns them in a circle around her opponent. Ice-Flames bathe the outside of the mirrors, and tie the circle together. She appears and re-appears through each mirror, using her Mirror-Walking technique. This confuses her opponent, and she then conjures one hundred other clones; ten are Doppelgӓnger Reflections, the other ninety are Mirage-based. The clones disperse, standing in front of each of the mirrors while Ayumu herself flies up into the air, standing atop the 101'st mirror.

She and her one hundred clones throw their Konki Shuriken; the ten Doppelgӓngers and Ayumu throw real ones, the other ninety just toss ones to confuse the enemy even more. This makes the total number of shuriken used in Kaleidoscope reach a maximum of 1,100. The real shuriken are able to use their own powers while in flight, multiplying and shape-shifting much to the horror of the target. At the end of this (if the opponent is still standing), Ayumu will make all clones melt or shatter away, because she will want to deal the final blow herself. Unsheathing Shourai-Sangai, Ayumu performs the Dance of the Red Crane and Blue Koi.

By the time she finishes, the enemy would have fallen and Ayumu would be completely exhausted of her Ki, putting her in a numb state of mind. But, if the enemy is still standing, Ayumu could cease to exist...

Shourai-Sangai

Bipolarity - When Ayumu unsheathes Shourai-Sangai, one half of the blade is meant for fire-based attacks, and is weak against cold temperatures and attacks and cannot melt easily. Likewise, the other half of the blade is meant for water/ice-based attacks and is weak against heat and fire-based attacks but cannot be affected very much by the cold. But, there's a third "element" that Ayumu's sword controls. Ice-flames are a combination of both halves' powers, and are mainly executed with the very tip of the blade. The only weaknesses of the Ice-Flames are the elements of light, dark, lightning, wind, and earth.

Ki Missle - Ayumu can send more accurately-aimed and more concentrated waves of her Ki by slinging it using Shourai-Sangai as a medium. This move works very much like a slingshot does. It also drains her Ki by about 1/4.

Dance Of The Red Crane And Blue Koi - Primarily used to finish off an opponent when in use with Kaleidoscope, this is Ayumu's second most powerful move.

Ayumu begins by drawing a circle around her with the sword's tip, setting the ground ablaze with Ice-Flames. When she traces the circle in the air, a ring of fire settles about her waist. Or, when in use with Kaleidoscope, the Ice-Flames settle about the mirror-disk that she stands upon.

As if performing like a dancer, she then begins to spin in a clockwise motion, dragging behind blasts of water and ice behind it. Ayumu then repeats the motion, only counterclockwise, this time with fire and embers shooting off its edge. Then she moves her mirror-disk above her target in Kaleidoscope, and with both hands on Shourai-Sangai, she thrusts the tip of the blade down, shattering the mirror-disk and plummeting on top of her enemy, killing it with the tip of her blade.

Limitations

Rust - Rust is a problem because Ayumu only used an ordinary alloy of metals and the skeletons of the Nozomi clan. Chronically, she will cleanse and sharpen her sword, however she will fuse some of her Ki into it as well, so it will not break when used in battle.

The Elements - Water/Ice, Fire and Ayumu's Ice-Flames are not considered powerful or harmful against Shourai-Sangai. However, the elements of Wind, Earth, Lightning, Light and Dark have potential effects on the blade.

Owner - Ayumu is the owner of this blade, and as such is the only one who can use it with her Ki. To anyone else who uses Shourai-Sangai, it's just a normal blade.

History

The blade was forged when the last of the Nozomi clan passed away, and was made entirely up of their remains which Ayumu had dug up specifically to forge the blade. An additional combination of her Ki and an alloy of iron was mixed with the remains. Ayumu keeps the blade with her at all times and makes sure it is replenished with her life energy so it won't break easily.

Duplication - The Konki Shuriken is really just one shuriken in its common form. However, it can duplicate with the help of Ayumu's Ki. If the original copy is fazed, damaged, or just "called off" by Ayumu's signal, the copies deteriorate, leaving the damage they wrought. The maximum number of copies that can be created (if this is used in Kaleidoscope) are 100 per Ayumu, including the original shuriken. So, a total of 1,100 shuriken may be flying at you in Kaleidoscope.

Morph - The Konki Shuriken may change into anything that is about the same size as itself. Butterflies, stones, metal claws or spikes, the number of possibilities the shuriken may morph into are endless. This move is by far one of the most Ki draining, mainly because Ayumu prefers to combine it with Duplication.

Disintegration - This is what happens when the shuriken either are deflected by the enemy, or hit something, though it leaves some damage when it hits something tangible. Much like the way Ayumu gets rid of her clones, she can also "call off" the shuriken copies so the original is left. When the shuriken duplicates are no longer needed, they either melt like tar or fade away.

Rotary Ki-Spindle - A move that requires a lot of her condensed Ki, her energy is wrapped around the shuriken and then flung with a spiral motion towards a target. The rotation of the shuriken as it flies towards the target causes the Ki to spin out at all directions from it. The Ki oftentimes is shot out in needle-shaped Ki slivers that cause an unbearable sting in the skin if the enemy comes into contact. This move is incompatible--or rather, can't be combined with Morph, and Duplication.

Limitations

The Elements - Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning, and Darkness all have a particularly strong effect on the shuriken when they come into contact with it. Even Ayumu's own specialty, Ice-Flames, can cause damage to her shuriken if she's not cautious. The only two other elements that have no effect, or rather, actually strengthen the Konki Shuriken are Wind and Light.

Rust - Since this weapon is forged from an ordinary alloy of copper and scrap metals; not to mention the leftover human remains of the Nozomi clan, rust is a problem when it begins to grow and take over the parts of the weapon that have not been cleansed well routinely.

Heat - Like Shourai-Sangai, the Konki Shuriken has the melting point of any other ordinary weapon forged in the Feudal Era. Ki cannot "heal" or repair the metal that has been damaged by heat or otherwise as it does within Ayumu's body, so excessive amounts of heat projected at the shuriken must be avoided at all costs.

Owner - As with Shourai-Sangai, the Konki Shuriken is just a normal shurien to anyone who isn't Ayumu.

History:

At around the same time Ayumu forged Shourai Sangai, her Konki Shuriken was created using the same remains of the Nozomi clan. She gave it a portion of her own life, which is the reason it has the powers listed above. Literally meaning "Energy Shuriken," Ayumu always has it with her, hanging by a thin cord by the side of her rugged kimono. Every so often she will sit down sharpening it and tending to it for the battles to come.
