Character’s Name:— Kōketsu Ayano
Total X-Poinz:— 646
Note:— The totals listed in the profile don’t currently match, but the numbers used here accommodate for recent system changes.—:New Traits:—
With the recent increase to X-Poinz Totals and the not-so-recent changes to Traits, here’s two!
Unshakeable
Racial Trait
Balance
A beacon of stoicism and determination in the face of adversity, Ayano is not a woman easily knocked down. Her near regal aura takes tangible form in martial poise, allowing her to remain steady when exchanging blows with opponents that would naturally overpower her. Only the strongest and most ferocious of impacts can hope to topple her. Quite simply, she bows to nobody.
Refined
Class “D” Trait
Reflexes
Having honed her mind and body as much as her blade, Ayano’s physical ability to react at a moment’s notice has grown to the point of being uncanny. So long as her senses can perceive it, there are few things she is incapable of reacting to in at least some capacity, though whether or not she can actually respond in time is up to a variety of other factors. Fortunately, her precise nature couples well with heightened reaction times.—:New & Updated FiSts:—
A standard upgrade!
Junseiryū
“Pure Dragon” in Japanese
Class “E” > “D”, −200 X-Poinz │ +125 Rebate
Focus — Ittōryū, Parry & Counter
Kōketsu Ayano’s signature style of swordplay adapts the traditional Ittōryū (“One-Sword Style”) teachings into something more variable and defensive. Precise strikes using the scabbard and the back of the blade transform an aggressive style into a form that is more heavily centred on parrying and countering enemy attacks, using the sword to incapacitate enemies through blunt force rather than cutting them directly. Overall, the style trades in offensive potential for defensive mastery, though that doesn’t mean it isn’t capable of such devastating attacks.—:New Aspects:—
Rinzen Kagayaki
凛然輝き
“Commanding Radiance” or “Piercing Brilliance”
Class “D” Aspect | Junseiryū
Light Refraction
Focused on cutting anything except for flesh, Ayano’s conviction has pushed her to achieve what even some of the world’s most prolific swordsmen would deem impossible. Swings of her sword can now be executed with such precision and refined understanding—backed by Shirajirashī’s own lucent properties—that she is capable of cleaving light itself. Focused use of refractive principles allows her to deviate the flow of direct and ambient illumination, leading to some interesting distortive effects and optical illusions.—:New Techniques:—
The light bends…
Amenomon
天の門
“Heavenly Gate”
Rank 2, −0 X-Poinz │ −125 Rebate
FiSt — Junseiryū
Aspects — Rinzen Kagayaki
Holding her blade in a two-handed grip, Ayano performs a descending vertical slash, resulting in an unusual ‘split’ of the light around her. The resulting effect is perceptible as little more than a sudden shimmer of light, not even blinding, and causes Ayano to momentarily disappear from view—a period lasting no more than a few seconds. Such a period of time is long enough to allow Ayano to reposition herself without visual cue.—:Final Expenditure:—
