Okami, Izanagi Iza
[Touch my sister and you die.]
General Information Age: 25 Gender: Male Height: 8' Weight: 425lbs Hair: Izanagi's long raven tresses flow to the small of his back, and his bangs frame his face perfectly. Eyes: His eyes, like Izanami's, are a very light brown, almost tan, color. Physical Features: It is not only his massive size that scares most people away from Izanagi, though it is the main reason. Standing eight feet tall, Izanagi is a giant among men, and his broad body only increases his size. His arms are thicker than the trunks of most trees, his hands are large enough to completely wrap around a normal man's skull, and his chiseled torso is said to be harder than steel. He has very broad shoulders, and his torso, and the rest of his body for that matter, is made completely of muscle, though he is not without body fat. Like his twin sister Izanami, Iza has the usual horizontal and vertical scars from their samurai training.
Clothing/Accessories: Izanagi keeps his clothing simple, a haori to cover his torso, and umanori to cover his lower body, both off white in color. Izanagi does not wear shoes. Forehead Protector: Discarded Personality:
Izanagi is not the brightest person in the world, but is extremely aware of his surroundings. Able to detect even the smallest sound, and change in scenery, Izanagi's awareness is his greatest trait. He is not one to draw out battles, but prefers to end them quickly, in one fail swoop if possible. When it comes to fighting with his twin Izanami he will attempt to be every where at once, making sure she has nothing to do, even though she can more than take care of herself. While he knows Izanami can take care of herself, Iza feels that it is his duty as the "big brother" to protect her from all harm, even if it causes him more pain than is needed.
Iza does not view women like most do, but instead sees them as a means to an end, though he does not think this way about his sister. The only pleasure Iza gets out of women is just that; pleasure. He sees no reason to be in a relationship as he is always on the run, nor does he believe it would be a good idea to have children since there is no telling when he could die. While he and Izanami have been known to share a girl or two, he has never, and would never, sleep with his sister.
Because he is linked so closely to his sister, Iza often blocks out all thought, so that he does not begin to feel like a woman. While it is hard to separate his thoughts and feelings from his sister's, he has learned that in order to work in perfect harmony with her he has to share every thought and feeling with her. When in battle Iza will "merge" with his sister, allowing him to experience the battle with ten senses rather than five, which often gives him the upper hand.

Equipment:
Kamikaze Kamikaze is Izanagi's main weapon, and is his favorite weapon. Kamikaze has no sheath, nor does he have a guard, he is nothing more than a blade with a hand hold. Kamikaze is six feet in length, made of blue steel, and only has one area that is not able to cut; the "hand hold." From the tip of the blade, to the rounded edge at the bottom, every part of Kamikaze is razor sharp, allowing for a multitude of different attacks. Kamikaze also has a hidden ability. When Izanagi channels his Fuuton chakra into Kamikaze a great gusting wind kicks up around him. There are no hidden blades in the wind, nor is it strong enough to damage anyone, but it serves as a shield from thrown weaponry. Kamikaze is six feet in length, two inches thick at its thickest, and six inches wide at it's widest.
Kamikaze
Thorn Thorn is Izanagi's second weapon, and his kept on his left hip, secured to his hip by his belt. Thorn's sheath is forest green, as is the tsuba, and the tsuka, while the ito is a deep brown color. Thorn's blade is a deep brown color, like the ito. Thorn's sheath is made of steel. Thorn's blade is four feet in length, and her hilt is two feet in length.
Combat Style:
- Shinden
-
Shinden Kenjutsu is a style originating in Marsh Country that emphasizes heavy and damaging slashes from positions that allow flexibility and focus. Typically the user will draw their sword and then lift it over their shoulder or head, in a downward slashing angle to allow for gravity to act as an enhancer for the blow and because of this, heavier swords such as nodachi or odachi are typical fare for the style but the moves can be done with a katana. This style also emphasizes firm and powerful body movements to deal with the lack of blade defense afforded by the stance assumed.
- iaido
-
Iaido Kenjutsu is a sword style originating from the Land of Tea that focuses on the fact that when first drawn, the linear motion and force of pulling a katana from its sheath are able to generate unusually fast slashes. Iaido capitalizes on this, it's samurai equally skilled in close range hand-to-hand fighting and then being able to switch to single fast slashes and stabs before returning to previous combat, making them unpredictable fighters.
Jutsu Information Abilities:
- Twins
-
Twin This character is a twin to another character. This ability takes up 4 companion slots of each character and takes up two character slots. Twins are siblings, and as such, they must be from the same clan if applicable.
- Twins' Bond
-
The bond between twins goes above and beyond any bond made between two people. The Okami twins take this bond even further. There exists a bond so strong between the Okami twins that every thing about them is linked. The can communicate telepathically, they share all of their senses, and what happens to one twin happens to the other. What this means is that they can see through each other's eyes, hear what their twin hears, but should one twin get injured, or killed, so will the other twin. Not only do injuries happen to both twins, but should an Iijutsu be used on one twin, it will be used on both of them without doubling the chakra needed to use it. The twins share every sense completely, and are unable to turn it off without the use of specialized Ninjutsu, and because of this each twin suffers a -1 to their Wit stat.
Jutsu:
Iaido *Iaido • Swift Draw D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu, 4 Speed With the most widely recognized attack of Iaido style, the user draws their katana at a very quick speed, making a powerful slash in tangent with the draw. This technique is dependent on the user's overall reaction speed as it is usually only used when an opening presents itself or when the user needs to draw their sword quickly.
*Iaido • Line Draw D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 4 Speed The technique is recognized by its signature stance of one hand just below the opening of the katana sheath and the other firmly on the sword. Drawing the sword in one swift motion, the user creates a horizontal or vertical slash in front of themselves before sheathing the sword, often chaining these strikes together for greater effect.
*Iaido • Sheath Draw D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 4 Speed As the style favors sheathed swords, the user will pull both the sheath and sword free, using the sheath for defensive purposes as well as granting a greater range of attack than normal 'at the waist' draws. When used properly, this can allow a user to perform a quick switch from a sheath block to an attack. The user must be careful, however, as with a damaged or missing sheath, the proficiency of many of their attacks will decrease.
*Iaido • Clash Draw D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 4 Speed In this technique, the user assumes a firm stance and then draws their weapon in an upward arc. This sort of draw makes it easy to bat away projectiles moving at a Speed and Strength equal to or lower than the user's Speed and Strength. This also enables the user to cut through advancing techniques or to clash with an opponent's weapon. This movement, however, may leave the user without the ability to sheath his weapon for some time, limiting the effectiveness of their techniques until they can.
*Iaido • Beheading Draw C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 6 Speed The user draws their katana with one hand and slams their palm into the back of their blade to increase the force behind the swing made in any direction. This works with blunted side of a sword, but it can also draw out their strength and the blade's cutting power in full to quickly slash apart obstacles. Re-sheathing after this technique may take a bit longer; the placement of the hands following this technqiue make it difficult to resheath properly.
*Iaido • Double Back Draw C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 6 Speed The technique realizes the concept of a draw's momentum increasing attack speed rather than the technique of drawing itself. With this concept, the user draws their weapon and then makes an upwards slash followed by a second downward slash, and then an immediate re-sheath. This causes two deep diagonal cuts in the direction of the draw and re-sheath that happen near instantaneously.
*Iaido • Snap Draw C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 6 Taijutsu, 6 Speed With a honed body capable of producing torque within the user's muscles, the user is capable of achieving a 'Blurred Sword' effect in an attack. The user draws their sword with such speed and power, the strike itself goes undetected by opponents lacking Taijutsu greater than a third of the user's Taijutsu stat. While essentially similar to the basic Iaido technique this one is literally beyond the normal capability of the user and as such, it can only be used a number of times per thread equal to the user's stamina and taijutsu divided by 2.
*Iaido • Iai Beheading Draw B-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: Iaido • Beheading Draw, 8 Speed With a Variation of the Beheading Draw technique, the user forces a very quick snap of tension and torque through their arm as they draw their sword sending it vertically or across with great speed. With its speed, the strike takes on a blur, many times not even appearing to be drawn from its sheath. Opponents will not see the slash unless they have a Taijutsu or Speed equal to or greater than half of the user's Taijutsu stat. This slash is also incredibly powerful with its speed, able to slice through stone in most cases with enough power.
*Iaido • Reverse Beheading Draw B-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: Iaido • Beheading Draw By building tension in two places in their body, the user unleashes a spin and then draws their katana in a swift motion without pause until returning to face their original direction, sword sheathing in the process. The attack has incredible destructive power, though lacks the visual blur in speed. The attack is still fast enough, however, to disorient opponents greatly.
Shinden *Shinden • Stream Splitting D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 5 Strength Lifting their sword above their head the user of this technique drives it down in one fluid motion with their blade aimed to slash through or into whatever they are attacking. The force of this technique is amplified by the fact that their stance is aimed to enhance muscle tension and torque, allowing them to make the single slash a very powerful one.
*Shinden • Branch Cleaver D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 5 Strength While the basic techniques of Shinden revolve around heavy slashes from standing positions this technique is about harnessing the same destructive potential while moving. Rushing at a foe quickly, the user slashes in a downward motion in order to maintain momentum. The sword is typically swung from right to left or from left to right instead of straight down, the attack usually stopping at waist level to keep from potentially stumbling. While less destructive than some Shinden techniques, it still retains utility in battles of movement.
*Shinden • Fake Out D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 5 Strength A technique designed to interrupt foes; the user pulls their hands up on their sword to expose more of the hilt while in typical Shinden stance. Once an opponent comes within range, the user yanks the hilt down in a smashing manner against the foe or a similar target. Afterwards, the user follows with a less damaging downward slash at a foe, making this effective for surprise purposes.
*Shinden • Grass Cutter D-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 5 Strength With a stance shift, the user quickly draws their weapon to their waist with the blade facing away from their body. The user then delivers a quick and brutal horizontal thrust forward, followed by a slice, inspiring its name by cutting down unwary opponents. The technique is defensive in nature, allowing the user to guard with the intent to counter.
*Shinden • Form Improvement C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 7 Strength The user assumes a somewhat curved stance by drawing one elbow down and bending it back so that the sword points straight up above the user with the left hand at cheek level and the right hand at eye level. This shifts the sword into pointing straight up instead of curved in any direction, allowing for firm and quick slashes and thrusts. This stance also allows the user to recover from an attack at a greater speed, preserving the user's defensive position without sacrificing the power behind their attacks.
*Shinden • Grounding Blade C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 7 Strength The user slams the blade of their sword into the ground and then slashes sideways creating a fairly deep deep crater, around five inches, in the ground in front of them, kicking up a splash of rocks and dust to blind and harry foes. The user then lunges into their foe with an attempt to knock them over or slash at their legs. Foes with at least equal Strength to the user can avoid being knocked over and can maintain ground, preventing the follow-up slash.
*Shinden • Aerial Saw C-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 7 Strength Leaping up off the ground in any Shinden stance, the user draws their blade down and creates a powerful overhead slash which doubles as a defensive movement, the user capable of moving the sword to displace weight and momentum to change direction if needed. With this technique, the user can also form heavy slashes on uneven or unstable terrain without dependancy on solid ground.
*Shinden • River Splitting B-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: Shinden • Stream Splitting, 9 Strength The user focuses an amount of muscle tension and force of a Shinden stance into a single point on the blade, usually the upper half, and then drives it down with enough force to cause a pressure backlash against everything it hits. This creates a pressure wave that flies 5 meters forward at a Speed of 7. The wave is capable of striking back water and kicking up rocks and dirt as it flies.
*Shinden • Lightning Bolt B-Rank Kenjutsu Prerequisite: 9 Strength A technique similar to the Fake Out technique, it can cause incredible damage for anyone caught in it. The user assumes a standard shinden stance, bringing their blade down. In mid-slash, however, the user quickly spins the sword and grips it like a dagger, switching from a slash to a quick downward thrust that can trap weapons, impale objects or skewer through most normal substances with the length of the blade.
Fuuton *Wind Element • Air Cushion D-rank Ninjutsu After forming a short string of hand seals, air will compact itself into a 4 meter radius "cushion" of sorts that is used to soften a fall from a great height. This won't prevent all damage but it will prevent major injury. It can be used up to twenty yards away from the user. It lasts until the end of the post it’s used in and dissipates after one use.
*Wind Element • Air Gun D-rank Ninjutsu After forming the needed hand seals, the user will take a deep breath before blowing it out in the form of a football-sized bullet. If hit by it, it can cause many small cuts at the place of impact. The further this is shot, the weaker it becomes, becoming completely ineffective at twenty-five yards.
*Wind Element • Wind Launch Technique D-Ranked Ninjutsu After completing the needed hand seals, a tightly packed circular gust of wind forms right at the feet of the user. The moment someone leaps on it, it sends that person flying in the direction they jumped on it. It's quite powerful and can send an average-sized person and anything else that lands on it over fifteen yards at their base speed in a straight line. It disappears after one use or lasts unused for three posts. A strength of four or higher is required to resist the effect of this technique.
*Wind Element • Wind Skating D-Ranked Ninjutsu After performing the needed hand seals, the user is able to glide on air as if they were skating on ice. This allows them to move faster (+1 speed) but lowers their accuracy (-1 Taijutsu). This doesn't allow them to fly, but rather to travel over things like land, water, and ice with greater ease. The user is only held several inches off of the ground. This Jutsu does not expire until the user’s chakra supply runs out or the user shuts it off.
*Wind Element • Great Breakthrough C-Ranked Ninjutsu By performing the needed hand seals and bringing their hands to their mouth, the user can release an incredible blast of air. This blast of air moves outward in a cone shape with a five foot radius at the end of the cone and moves with a speed of six. Once it makes contact with a substance, the wind both cuts at it and pushes it away. The cone causes cuts that are deep enough to bleed a fair amount and the air is rather strong, pushing with a strength of five. This blast goes out for a maximum of thirty feet if it doesn’t hit anything, where it will dissipate into the surrounding air.
*Wind Element • Godly Wind from the Mountains C-Ranked Ninjutsu After forming the necessary hand seals, the user will thrust their hands forward as a vortex of wind blasts through with a speed of (Nin+Control)/2 with a max of eight. The vortex's direction can be controlled with a Control stat of at least five. The control, however, is limited; it can only be moved in a 45 degree angle, up to three times. A hit from this vortex packs a large push back force, though the person can avoid being pushed back with a strength of three or greater. Control of this Jutsu fades after two posts and spans an area five feet wide and up to fifteen feet in length. Direct hits result in long but shallow cuts on the victim's body, covering the whole radius of the techniques point of contact, no deeper than half an inch.
*Wind Element • Gale Wind Palm C-Ranked Ninjutsu After the user forms the needed hand-seals, a strong gust of wind will be launched at any opponent within a fifteen foot range. This increases the speed of a weapon thrown with this Jutsu to equal the user's control (max of six) and can also potentially knock back foes within ten feet who have a strength of three or less.
Wind Element • Gale Wind Blade B-Ranked Ninjutsu Prerequisites: Character must possess a sword of any kind. After a quick set of one handed seals, while holding their sword, the user will launch a powerful crescent shaped "blade" of wind. This blade of wind not only creates a large gust in it's wake, but also travels with a speed of eight. The crescent is capable of cutting with a strength of 7, intended for removing limbs when focused at the weakest part of the body, the shaft of the bone. Outside of this it may cause additional lesser wounds from its wake.
Wind Element • Wind Scar B-Ranked Ninjutsu Prerequisites: Character must possess a sword of any kind. After a quick set of one handed seals, while holding their sword, the user's swing will rip up the earth while it travels in a straight line with a speed of eight. (8) This is done by forcing his Fuuton chakra through the ground while he swings. The Wind Scar is capable of cutting with a strength of seven (7), intended mainly for massive damage in the form of multiple severe cuts. Wind Scar travels outward in a V shape away from the user's body. At the point of the V, the affect area is only ten feet wide, but, at the mouth of the V, the affected area is seventy-five feet wide. This jutsu is able to travel up to seventy-five feet away from the user.
History
Growing up was a hassle for Izanagi, mainly because he was always so much taller than the other kids. By the time he was eight years old he stood five feet even, while his sister barely reach four. He towered over the other children, and when he was entered into the academy at the age of twelve he was already nearing six feet tall. Because of his height many of the students would not practice Taijutsu with him, and because of this Genin, and even Chuunin, were asked to practice with him, as they were closer to his size. He had always had a hard time with the non-physical side of being a Ninja, and just barely scraped by in his Genjutsu class, but he had become a Genin, which was something he thought would never happen. With Izanami's help he learned to use Fuuton jutsu, and grew quite adept at using it, though his samurai training with his parents came before everything else. Now that he and his sister were both Genin their parents had decided it was time to pass on what they knew, and so began the training that would later lead to their rogue status.
Because of his size Izanagi's mother put him through strength training that would have killed lesser men. She had him hold boulders over his head while she struck his abdomen with bamboo canes to increase his endurance. Had him climb the Hokage mountain with a boulder strapped to his back. His mother even had Izanagi wrestle with bears, and alligators. Though his mother's training was insane, the monstrous women's, who he got his incredible size from, training had worked. Izanagi's Shinden style was feared, even among the villagers. When he raised his blade people cowered in fear, even when he was defending them. What terrified the villagers the most however, was not his strength, but his speed. Having learned all his could from his mother, Izanagi began to train with his father and sister.
Iza's father told him that because of his long legs, and his strength, he did not need to train Iza as hard as his mother had. With his immense strength Izanagi for accelerate much faster than most people, and his long legs allowed him to cover much more ground in a shorter period of time. The only things Iza's father had to teach him were the stances, the techniques, and how to make his body much more flexible. Because of his size Izanagi's parents had to get him much larger blades than usual to use with his Shinden and Iaido techniques, as Katana's appeared to be Wakizashi in his massive hands.
Once their training was complete, which took a while considering they had missions to go on for the village, Izanagi and his sister took their Chuunin exams together. It was during their exam that their bond became their greatest ability. Because of their mental link, and the fact that they shared ever sense, they were able to perfectly time their attacks in a way that the Chuunin could not stop them, and passed in under ten minutes. Now that they were Chuunin Izanagi and his sister were allowed outside of the village on missions, and while they were tracking down a D rank from the village, to bring them back for rehabilitation, they were offered a job. In exchange for escorting a seemingly harmless old man to a village in a neighboring village they would each be paid double what they would be paid for a B rank mission.
The old man did not seem to be in any trouble, but their parents had just died on a mission, and they needed the money for their funeral. Escorting the old man took about a week, and they only ran into a couple mercenaries, which they dealt with quite easily, but it was not until they reached their destination that they realized what they had done. The old man was the head of one of the largest crime families in the Land Of Fire, and by helping him out of the country they had betrayed their home. They knew that they would not be able to go back, so they took their money and fled.
Now on the run Izanagi and his twin sister decided that they would hide out on the outskirts of the Land Of Lightning, hoping that those who hunted would not be willing to enter enemy territory to find them. They lived in a small, abandoned shack where they trained their bodies to such a degree that no one they cam across could defeat them. Once they were sure of their strength they began to wander the world once more, killing any hunter from Konohagakure that found them.
