Storm

Storm is the school of martial arts created by Wade Tritschler.
==History==
The Storm style was developed in pre-history times when a group of four individuals, one for each element, appeared to mankind and began training them in different aspects. The styles were developed cooperatively with their followers, reaching their peak after many years. However, with the introduction of the final form, a disaster occurred, nearly wiping out everything and everyone. No record of the full styles remain save mysterious accounts of them from observers. While there have been imitations, the real Elemental Fury Styles are all but forgotten. It should be noted that no outside observer has truly been able to understand the techniques, likely due to each requiring some fundamental modification of the human body to work properly.
==Philosophy==
Storm is all about agility and speed. Along with Quake it is the the most martial arts like of the Elemental Fury Styles.
==Practitioners==
* Soon Li (Combined Storm Style)
* Shampoo (Lightning School)
* Akane Tendo (Wind School)
* Ranma Saotome (Lightning School)
* Ryoga Hibiki (Wind School)
==Branches==
Storm Style is divided into two schools.
===Wind Style===
The Wind Style is not primarily an offensive technique and instead its main purpose is for defense. It works on the principle of a blade of grass bending in the wind. Its focus is on agility, and defensive action. The training allows a great loosening of the body, allowing one to literally bend with most attacks, reducing their effectiveness often to nothing. Furthermore as its name implies it uses the winds as a weapon. Masters can direct blasts of air that carry the force of a punch, or manipulate air pressure to create vacuums. The idea behind this style is to keep your opponent at a distance, yet still be able to attack them, while they cannot attack back. Wind style on the other hand lacks some utility in close combat. Many of the upper level techniques are designed for a maximum range, and are not usable in close combat.
===Lightning Style===
The Lightning Style relies on total offense, speed and of course analysis of an opponent’s defense making it the perfect match against the Wind Style. The Lightning Style’s main focus is speed, along with offensive action. Not only is it more than a match for the Joketsuzoku’s Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken technique it allows its user to reshape their chi into the form of electricity and use it offensively. It also allows them to draw on natural electrical charges and currents. While an incredibly formidable art it only has a limited ranged arsenal. Electricity naturally wants to travel towards the Earth, so blasts have only a range of ten, perhaps twenty feet. Additionally, Lightning style is not as effective defensively as it is offensively.
==Special Techniques==
===Wind School===
*Cyclone Assault: User throws a twisting punch and a cyclone like wind surrounds their twisting punch that then races forward at target.
*Vortex Punch: User thrusts their fist forward then pulls their arm back while twisting it causing a vortex of wind to suck in target propelling them directly into the waiting user.

===Lightning School===
*Grand Lightning Punch: The fundamental first advanced form of the Lightning School. The user's has their perception of time enhanced such that any sudden action in their vicinity triggers a type of hyper speed perception (like bullet time). Together with a modified nervous system, the user can attack with incredible speed, even an order of magnitude faster than the typical Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken, although at the expense of individual punch impact power. By contrast to the Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken, which a user can punch through water without appearing to get wet, full mastery of the Grand Lightning Punch requires a user to retrieve coins from a body of water seemingly with the water undisturbed. In truth the action is so fast that no normal observer can see anything happen. While the technique is named for the punching aspect, in truth the entire body is affected, and it also allows incredibly fast motion in all aspects, such as running. Use of the technique naturally generates electricity which can be harnessed by other techniques in the school. While the technique is powerful, it is also quite taxing to maintain for long so is generally used in short bursts. A straight minute of use caused Shampoo to be exhausted.
*Thunderclap Shock Wave: Electrical arcs start traveling up and down the right arm. User jumps into the air then comes down, punching the ground with their lightning covered arm. A wave of electrical arcs and exploding cement surges forward from users punch as thunder fills the air the wave slams into the opponent, blasting them into the sky. This is the technique that earned the style its infamy in ancient times trainees were required to withstand and harness the power of a lightning strike. In this day and age with modern technology trainees are able to utilize Tasers.
*Thunderclap Punch: This is a technique in which the user focuses precise chi into their hands or feet and releases it with pinpoint timing, which greatly enhances their strength. The sound of this attack is deafening imagine VanHalen, AC DC, Guns and Roses, and the Who all having a battle of the bands in the same room. Then imagine that ten times as loud and you'd get roughly the volume.
*Grand Lightning Blast: The user lets lose a stream of electricity on opponent.
*Thunderclap Barrage: A series of Thunderclap Punches
*Art of Focus

*Grand Chain Lightning Assault: This technique is very draining because you draw ki from yourself; user lets off a series of kicks and punches that push their speed to its limit. With each blow they let loose a bit of their built up charge. Each attack is aimed precisely at a ki line junction, the points of greatest weakness. It only takes a few strikes to utterly destroy target. The technique is ended with roundhouse Thunderclap Punch.
*Lammasu Batsu: A technique combining Happosai's teleportation technique with the Grand Chain Lightning Assault. First the teleportation is used to close the gap suddenly with the opponent. Then, the user’s hands and feet immediately blur as they throw every piece of strength they have into the attack, striking with lightning covered fists, precisely at the ki junctions. Every strike carries with it the force of a shock wave, and in finality user spins into a multiple backhanded Thunderclap Punch.
*Dance of The Chained Lightning: This technique allows the user to create a wave of electricity from their hands. The user can vary its power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock.
