Anything Else?

Inner Stuff
Likes:

• Practicing his acrobatics and fighting.
  
• Being with Elika.
  
• His job as an EMT. He likes helping people.
  
• Playing his taishōgoto, a Jūrzoku family heirloom.
  

Dislikes:

• People who tell him to get a job and stop doing "all that dangerous stuff up there." (read:parkour)
  
• Monsters in general, but especially Gedoushuu.
  
• Elika in certain circumstances
  

Strengths:

• Reika is nearly superhumanly acrobatic, being able to run up and along walls for short distances, climb pipes, columns and the like, swing on horizontal poles and walk across beams with ease.
  
• Very fast fighter.
  
• His training as an EMT gives him extensive emergency medicine knowledge.
  
• He can manipulate his Mojikara unhenshined to weaken gravity's pull on himself, enabling him to leap really high and stay in the air for a while.
  
• Incredibly highly skilled swordsman.
  

Weaknesses:

• He feels a compulsive need to protect Elika, and takes strong blows meant for her rather often.
  
• His fighting style is best when he fights with Elika, as such, he fights worse without her, but not too much worse.
  
• Sometimes oversteps his acrobatics boundaries, and hurts himself.
  

Goal(s):

• To reestablish the Jūrzoku Clan and wipe the Gedoushuu off of the face of the earth.
  

Habits/ Quirks:

• Tends to zone out when doing his acrobatics, and only pays attention to what he's doing and Elika.
  

Relationships:

• Elika Shinsei- Trusted companion, girlfriend, partner in combat.
  
• Gin, Rai and Hime- Fellow Ronin, occasional battle companions.
  
• The Shiba Shinkengers- Not a big fan of the Shiba Clan's uppity attitude, and only grudgingly fights alongside them.
  
• Elika's cat, Shinji. He doesn't really pay him much mind, except when he brings home the carcass of some poor bird or squirrel. Then, the only reason he doesn't punt his little furry butt out the window is because Elika convinces him to not do it.
  

Overview: Reika has a few sides to himself. First, usually, he's a hardworking, work-then-play type of guy, who likes to get sh*t done, and not get distracted. With Elika, he is a joking, jolly guy, who can make nearly anything into a joke and has a near-magical ability to raise the mood the moment he enters a room. Finally, in battle, he's a sarcastic jerk who mocks his opponent and taunts them as he leaps and dodges around their attacks while slashing and clawing them.


Hero Stuff
Name: The heavy grey warrior, ShinkenGrey!
Type Of Hero: Shinkenger
Henshin Device: Tanto-Phone- A strange device, a thin flip-phone with a black body, which, when opened and switched to "Slash Mode" produces a tanto blade from the speaker end. However, the tanto isn't a weapon, but rather a tool to use the ancient Shijima clan technique, used by the Shinkengers of Yaso (The Ronin), Zan Mojikara (Slash Letters). Like normal Mojikara, the Zan Mojikara is used to draw upon the power of Kanji, but unlike normal Mojikara, Zan Mojikara is slashed into the air with a blade, rather than using a brush.
Forms: Reika opens the Tanto Phone and switches it to Slash Mode, then slashes the kanji for jūryoku (gravity) into the air, then slashes a line vertically through the letters, causing them to split and wrap around his body, forming his grey bodysuit, as well as his shoulder plates, bracers, greaves, knee plates and boots. Then his helmet forms, with the crests rising off of his forehead, and his ShinTsume forms over his right hand.

• Form Name: Jūryokutai/ Gravity Body (default form)
  Image/ Description: Overall, his armor looks like a Shiba Shinkenger, but with a few differences. First, the suit is mainly a dull, gunmetal grey color. Second, he has shoulder plates, bracers, knee plates, greaves and armored boots, all a slightly lighter grey. Finally, his helmet features the first character of Gravity, with the middle of the square part being taller so he can see, and a crest on his forehead which looks like a samurai helmet. His WanShinkenmaru is strapped to his right hip and his right hand has the ShinTsume on.
  Motif: Jūryoku Kanji, Samurai
  Color Scheme: Grey, Black, Silver
  Transformation: See above.
  Fighting Style: Reika draws upon all of his acrobatics, and often fights with Elika as a tag team.
  Weapons:
  • The WanShinkenmaru- It looks like a normal Shinkenmaru, but the blade is curved much more drastically, like an Arabian scimitar, but the blade is thin like a regular Shinkenmaru.
    
  • The ShinTsume- A more heavily armored version of his claw gauntlet, with thicker armor, sharper claws, and a mount to place a Disc on.
    
  • The ŌjiKen- His unique weapon, formed by him holding his WanShinkenmaru with his right hand (the one with the ShinTsume), attaching the JūryokuSai Disc and spinning it, the ShinTsume loses the claws, but the blade of the WanShinkenmaru extends about half a foot, and the edge becomes serrated.
    Abilities: When not wielding the ŌjiKen, he can slash with the blade, and slow his fall by digging the claws of the ShinTsume into a wall if one is available. Can do all of his usual acrobatics and does, as it is a very integral part of his fighting style. He can use his Mojikara to decrease gravity's pull on himself or increase it on his foe, and can focus this ability into an invisible implosion beam with the ŌjiKen. He can have Elika charge his WanShinkenmaru with her holy Mojikara, and use it to deliver energy slashes and finishers, if he doesn't want to do a big technique. He can use his taishōgoto to summon his Origami.
    Finisher(s):
    • Jūrzoku-ken Kosokojutsu- Jūryoku Konbo Kōgeki (Jūrzoku Fast Sword Technique- Gravity Combo Strike) - He can only do this attack with his WanShinkenmaru and ShinTsume equipped. Reika concentrates, and says the name of the attack, then dashes forward and hooks the claws of the ShinTsume under his opponents ribs and tosses them into the air, then slashes the Jūryoku Kanji into the air quickly, weakening gravity on himself, and leaps up. He performs a ridiculously fast combo of sword strikes with the WanShinkenmaru, then grabs his opponent's neck with the ShinTsume, spins in midair, and throws his opponent down. He then dispels the Mojikara in himself and falls, landing next to his target and walking away as they explode.
      
    • Futarijutsu- Shinsei Hayai-konbo (Double Person Technique- Sacred Fast Combo) - He performs this attack with Elika. First, he says the name of the technique with Elika, then he grabs her hand and throws her at the target, and she hits them with a blast of Mojikara and leaps off. Reika leaps forward, grabs her hand again, and spins over the target, slinging Elika at the target again and she hits it with another blast of Mojikara and bounces off. He grabs her hand again, spins in midair, lands, throws the target into the air with the ShinTsume, and throws Elika again, and she hits the target with another blast of Mojikara. As she falls, he leaps, grabs her hand and she slings him upward, and he cuts the target in half with the WanShinkenmaru.
      
    
    
    Other Equipment:
    
    • His claw gauntlet, which he can use unhenshined to slow his falls by digging the claws into the closest available wall, and for attacks.
      
    • His loft apartment, which he shares with Elika. On the second floor, there is a king-size bed, a closet and a sleeping bag, which Reika sleeps in if he's having an argument with Elika, a small TV, and Reika's laptop. On the main floor is the kitchen, the living area, consisting of a couch and a 50-inch flatscreen TV, as well as a large window, which they usually leave through when going to a battle.
      
    • Reika's laptop, a run-of-the-mill laptop, nothing special except that he has a program on it which he can use in a conjunction with an antenna on the roof to detect kaijin.
      
    
    
    
    History
    
    
    Yaso. A place of legend, rarely known, and even then spoken of as myth. A fabled town of samurai, protectors of mankind. However, it wasn't always a legend. Once, long ago, it was a famous yet infamous town, a town of mighty warriors and skilled craftsmen. Indeed, Yaso was once known as the town of the elite, and the two ruling families of Shijima and Nojo, as well as the vassal families of Inazuma, Jūrzoku, Shinsei, and Kojin, were known as legendary warriors, on par even with the great Shiba samurai clan. In fact, for a great many years, the Shiba clan and the Yaso clans were close allies, working hand-in-hand to defeat the Gedoushu time and again. However, this alliance wouldn't last forever. As time went on, the Shijima clan began to grow frustrated that, despite having an equal hand in handling the Gedoushu, Yaso was being overlooked, and the Shiba family was getting the entire glory. Because of this, Yaso cut ties with the Shiba, claiming that they would be the ones to defeat the Gedoushu for good.
    
    Unfortunately, the Gedoushu were one step ahead. Once the two groups had cut ties, it was none too easy to wipe out the pesky Yaso fools, as the Gedoushu staged a huge raid, annihilating the entire village, no more than a few years after their assault on the Shiba. Unfortunately for the Gedoushu, the six heirs of the families were out of the village training with their teachers, and as they returned to the village and saw what had occurred, each decided on a path to avenge their people and return Yaso to glory. Reika decided on the Path of the Ninja, striking from the shadows and working quietly to regain his family’s honor.

    Sample RP: Reika was running along a rooftop, Elika close behind, his WanShinekmaru bouncing against his leg. He leapt over a wall and flipped around, planting his feet on the wall and launching himself onto the roof of the next building. He landed on the backs of his shoulders, rolled into a standing position, and turned and caught Elika as she came flying over.
    "Nicely done, Prince." Elika said.
    "No problem." Prince said as he put her down, then began running again, performing another roof-launch, then catching sight of the Ayakashi. His computer had found an Ayakashi, and he and Elika were chasing it down. Reika leapt from the roof, and slid down the wall with his claws, yelling "AYAKASHI!"
    The Ayakashi turned, and said "Ah, a hero come to try and stop me."
    "Two heroes, jackass." Elika said as she landed behind him and flicked him in the back of the head, slamming him with a decent amount of Mojikara, and said "Get it right."
    "Mojikara?!" The Ayakashi said, then threw a punch at Elika, yelling "Shinkengers!"
    "Technically, we're ShinkenRonin." Prince said as he grabbed the fist with his claw gauntlet and stepped between his girlfriend and the Ayakashi, saying "Get it right." then punching the Ayakashi in the face.
    They both got out their Tanto Phones and switched them to Slash Mode, and began slashing their kanji into the air. Prince assumed his Shinkenger form, and pulled out his WanShinkenmaru, while Elika assumed hers and lit her hands up with holy Mojikara.
    "Bring it." Prince said, beckoning with his ShinTsume. The Ayakashi roared, produced a blade and charged, slashing at Prince. He nimbly sidestepped, and Elika gave the Ayakashi a face-full of holy Mojikara. Prince said "Elika! Aerial combo!"
    Elika nodded, then punched upward with a Mojikara-enhanced punch at the Ayakashi, sending him flying into the air. Prince, having already slashed “Gravity” into the air, thus weakening gravity on himself, leapt and began slashing, while Elika juggled the Ayakashi with blasts of Mojikara.
    Eventually, they both let up, and the Ayakashi crashed to the ground, thoroughly broken. Prince held out his WanShinkenmaru, and Elika laid a hand on it and charged it with holy Mojikara, causing it to glow white. Prince walked up to the monster and said "Checkmate." and slammed his blade through the Ayakashi's back, causing him to explode.
    After that, Elika and Prince undid their transformations and ran away, nimbly climbing the side of a nearby building and running off into the night.
