## Background

Stemming from the sagely main branch of the **Land of Dragon’s** renown **Aoi clan**, thus born of & to their electrical-based anatomies and affinities, much was to be expected of this up-and-coming Shogun to the Draconian Isles. Having mastered three of the five basic elements at the ripe age of fifteen, it was once thought that this child; in tandem with his usage of Taijutsu and strategic proficiencies; would have become a prodigy fit to lead the rising generation. If he would have been able to continue upon this course, it is said that his path to Shogun would have been reached even sooner than his already early tenure... Though, however unfortunate, misfortune tends to follow those of greater prestige...

Due to a set of unfortunate circumstances; at the age of eighteen while attempting to replicate his clan’s Kekkei Tōta - “***Dust release***”; Mazu’s misguided calculations, while distracted by a change in his scenery, caused for him to misfire a technique - costing him the entirety of both of his arms and one of his legs by the end of the situation. Thought to be left alone to die in his arrogance, as he'd secluded himself for study & unable to seek immediate assistance, Mazu grimly thought towards ending the life he had only just began... Just moments before a mysterious figurehead under the simple alias of “**K**” stumbled upon this broken individual... After two strenuous years of training and adjusting the unique creations applied to his ruined appendages, Mazu parted with the strange, nearly mute individual, with a full set of **prosthetics** equipped with various fuinjutsu and weaponry - and the knowledge of how to use them with a deadly edge...

Upon returning to Kibogakure, Mazu Aoi found that most of his clansmen had abandoned their village during the period of his stay with the silent “**Pope: K**”; brought on by a multitude of reasonings from the evergrowing ever-hostile environments to the groups of roaming vagabonds raiding nearby establishments. With newfound knowledge that he had been truly alone in this land, Mazu set forth to truly regain his title as one of those to lead the recollected remainder of his people(s) into its future.

At the age of twenty, Mazu stumbled upon a scientific marvel, soon to be introduced to the shinobi world beneath the moniker of: “**Nanobots**”. Though this technology would/could only be found currently within the Aoi clan due to the intricate workings of the robotics as well as the need for an electrical-based anatomy, a specialized set were crafted in order to replicate and replace the previous sets of prosthetics that Mazu had previously created to assist him in battle & throughout his day.

After spending a few years training the enlisted within the Jounin forces of Iwagakure, Mazu, at the age of twenty-three would eventually depart from his beloved homeland to visit not only his patriarchal clan in ***Land of Dragons***; but to venture across the lands to see what wonders the shinobi world had to offer. Now equipped with his own militarized bioengineered “synthetic” limbs, Mazu set forth to quickly climb through the rankings of the ninja world til he had reached the heights of Anbu team leader to the prestigious village of Iwagakure, second only to the previous (Deceased) Anbu Commander himself.... That was, until recently, when he was asked, in secret, by the Daimyo of Tsuchi no Kuni to manage its ruling militia...

As this promotion to ***Draconite Shogun*** & ***Tsuchikage*** allowed him to gain reputation as both an honorable shinobi amongst his people and empathetic humanitarian citizen of the **Land of Earth;** this young man has succeeded in earning the respect of not only the highest-ranking officials within both respective lands, but the love and adoration of the people themselves; seeing as he stood with dignity for every moral found within the unbreakable "**Will of Stone**" and pledge to the "***Draco Mata***"...

## Personality:

As enthusiastic and empathetic as Mazu appears to be to the citizens of **Land of Dragons** & **Earth**, whom have grown to love this benevolent and knowledgeable influential figure despite the current affairs and circumstances of the world surrounding him, internally he tends to carry the weight of other’s decisions - causing for him to bear certain resentments and grudges. Despite this negative and somewhat judgmental attribute, he's never allowed for it to stop him from assisting or even caring for those that he has once considered his enemy. As the man practically rocketed to the heights of the Kibo & Iwagakurian military, he felt as if his attention were needed in a position that placed him closer to the people. Occupying a forgotten region of the Land of Earth for nearly five years so that he might help its economy and reputation build, he grew to understand the complexities and consequences that come from leading a people. Growing to fall in love with his place amongst his comrades after years of forced secrecy during his time with the land’s Anbu corps, Mazu has done all that he has thought necessary and possible to maintain a humanitarian frame of mind when around those he believes are his equal or in need of his assistance. At the moment, it seems as his most trusted companion had been the legendary avian beast, “***Aello***”, the stone mountain harpy he had found in its adolescence and trained in the shinobi arts.

On the battlefield, it would seem as if his entire persona changes into one as cold and unrelenting as the stone iwagakure had been carved from or hide which protected his benefactors, as his indiscriminate tactics left many in confusion over the fact that man so caring could commit such atrocious and brutal acts upon his enemies. Preferring to first vivisect, then “*erase*”, his opponent(s), he prefers his “Art of Cleanliness” over the more destructive forms of expression. While he attempts to give every opposing force the option of surrender, this man’s belief in the ”**The Will of Stone**" & "**Draco Mata**" refused him to ever allow for a threat to the **Land of Dragons** or **Earth** to go unanswered. He’d rather lose his remaining limb or life, than allow for another citizen from his homeland to be cast aside and forgotten by officials of the Lands - as many had in the recent and past histories.

## Appearance

Previously known as one of the most “handsome / beautiful” men within Kibogakure, Mazo Aoi has become but a forgotten relic of his playboy past -- as many seem to ignore him due to knowledge of his “broken form. Bearing exceedingly long & flowing black hair, normally affixed into a chonmage fashion, the contrast it bore to his pale ivory skin played to his advantage; as his emerald resembling verdant-hued gaze had been known to freeze over a heart or two in his day. Though he had built several variations to his prosthetics so that he might resemble an average shinobi, Mazu could be normally seen ordained with his “illusionary” line -- which notably carried the spare blade’s for the internal mechanism visibly at the elbow. Mazu’s possible choices of attire and wardrobe at hand may currently be extensively vast, though he is normally is spotted wearing his traditional feudal era jinbei (甚平) and traditional Waraji boots.

## Reputation Status

##### Legendary

Traveling the entire Land of Earth’s domain and beyond to neighboring countries and colonies during his time under the Kibogakurian & Iwagawain shinobi military’s enlistment, Mazu has earned a vast network of informants and influential connections - which has done much to promote his own reputations amongst the Land of Earth’s citizens. Offering much of his rewards from the extensive list of missions he had accomplished in the name of Land of Dragons to struggling villages grieve with poverty, plague, or unsuitable conditions, he is the nation’s leading humanitarian as he offers a free line of prosthetics to those wounded due to previous conflict. It is said amongst the common folk that: "*Once the Earth Dragon” enters your village or town, poverty is chased away and his blessings wash away the grime from stone*". In the fields of medical studies, Mazu has made a name for himself through the discovery of Nano-robotics with the help of his (Deceased) young brother Nakamora Aoi, and has offered vast amounts of knowledge onto the medical world in the fields of amputee and prosthetic studys.

Despite the positive light in which his allies and people have cast upon him, his enemies know him more so for his use of particle release and his sadistic methods of kenjutsu upon the battlefield. Many villages advise their lesser ranked shinobi to avoid upsetting or engaging the “**Earth Dragon**” as he has been known to deliver consequences that overshadow the offense drastically. It is widely known that his faith in the ”The Will of Stone" & "Draco Mata" are unshakable and insurmountable. He’d rather give his life than back down from his stubborn beliefs.

## Significant Locations

##### Land of Earth (土の国, "Tsuchi o Kuni" )

The Land of Earth (土の国, Tsuchi no Kuni), also known as the Earth Kingdom (地球王国, "Chikyūōkoku"), is mostly comprised of desolate, rocky areas. The border of the Land of Earth runs along a rocky mountain range, blocking communication with other countries. The wind blowing from the north passes over these mountains, carrying small rocks from the Land of Earth to the surrounding countries. Iwagakure (岩隠れの里, Iwagakure no Sato, English TV: Hidden Stone Village) is the hidden village of the land. This country is located on the Shinobi continent.

##### Iwagakure

Iwagakure (岩隠れの里, Iwagakure no Sato, Village Hidden by Rocks) is the hidden village of the Land of Earth. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Iwagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Tsuchikage, of which there have been several in its history. The rocky mountain ranges that surround the village provide a natural stronghold that it is very proud of; despite having only just recently being rebuilt due to air-raids from enemy forces. The village's infrastructure is built from the surrounding rock and stone, shaped into numerous tower-like structures that are interconnected by a network of bridges. The current Tsuchikage's residence seems to be the tallest structure with a cone-shaped roof and bears the kanji for "Earth" (土, Tsuchi) on it.

The standard attire for Iwa shinobi consists of a red outfit — which can either have one, or both sleeves — a lapel which is usually found on the side without a sleeve and a brown or white flak jacket — which also may, or may not have a pouch attached to it. They also tend to wear mesh armor beneath these clothing down to around their ankles. Many Iwagakure ninjas primarily use Earth Release techniques. Iwagakure is well-known for the rock-hard attitude of its shinobi; as soon as the Tsuchikage gives an order, the Iwa-nin follow it without hesitation, even if it means death.

##### The Stone Monument

This monument is the symbol of Iwagakure in a similar manner to the **Hokage Rock** found in **Konohagakure**. It's composed of an intricate pedestal with a simple, smooth stone on top of it. The pedestal itself is in a pool of water that is filled with similar stones. **The Will of Stone (石の意志, Ishi no Ishi)** is the Nindō that exists symbolically in the monument. Similar to Konoha's Will of Fire, the Iwa shinobi live their lives by this great principle. The **First Tsuchikage** told a young **Ōnoki** (Aoi Ancestor), that the stone holds no true significance to the monument, even going as far as simply throwing it back into the pool with the other stones and replacing it with another random stone. He uses these stones to demonstrate how essential the strong will of the shinobi is to **Iwagakure**.

##### Land of Dragons - “Aoi” (Blue) Mountain

“**Aoi**” or **Blue Mountain** is known to be a closed private property solely owned and operated by the prestigious “**Aoi clan**" of **Kibogakure**, and is used in its entirety by the clan as a whole for their own benefits and upkeep, seeing as most members never have the need to leave this fruitful mountain range. Able to sustain most farming and agricultural needs, it is noted to be a treasured landmark of the **Land of Dragons** due to the exotic wildlife that can be discovered within its confines in tandem with the absolute beauty of its scenery. Since it is laden with crystal clear rivers & lakes, low hanging waterfalls & cliffs, and multitudes of flora & fauna ; it is said that this area would have been a perfect vacation hot spot or nationally protected haven if not for the influence and protection of the Aoi clan and their allies among the **L.o.D** officials

## Kekkei Genkai

##### *Denki kakumei (電気革命, Electrical Revolution)*

**Type**: Bodily Augmentation /Transformation

**Element**: Lightning / Raiton & Water / Suiton & Wind / Fuiton

**Description**: Blessed, or wretchedly cursed depending on your vantage point upon the situation, by the turbulent god of the Ancient Aoi tribe: "**Tesshub, Lord of Lightning and Thunder**"; those of the Aoi clan have been given a percuilar ability to transform, or transfer, their physical anatomy into a being of pure energy, referred to as their "**Ionic Form**". Resembling the strengths and speeds of nature's most brutal element: Lightning; One would think that an Aoi clansmen, once their Kekkai is released, is a nigh immortal combative entity tied direct to the whims of the gods themselves... Unfortunately for them, this is far from the case...

Due to the immense strain that this ability places upon the body of the user, once an Aoi clansmen turns thirteen and have been initiated into the "**Blue Stream Ceremony**", there is a high probability they will not be able to return to their human form - lost to the endless tide & flow of the "**Aoi stream**". If one is able to refine and control this ability, returning back to their corporeal form, they would still be far from the un-achievable goals of "Godhood", due to the final key weakness to the clan. Regardless if born into the clan's bloodline trait or not, each Aoi clansmen has been cursed with a deathly allergy to certain conductive or insulative materials. (\*Gold, Silver, Magnisum, etc.\*)

(*For whatever reason, Mazu Aoi is unable to currently access the clan’s “Ionized” form, and has yet to even undergo his coming-of-age “Diffusion”;  as he currently carries little-to-no capabilities to access the clan’s electrical affinities. Possibly a large enough jolt will trigger a reaction?*)

##### *Kagamiryūgan*

**Type**: Doujutsu

**Element**: Yang, Elemental supplement

**User(s)**: Mazu

**Description**: Kagamiryūgan allows the user to begin to analyze and momentarily attempt to cautiously absorb then circumvently “burn” the detrimental energies of the realm - using their bodies to act as a sort of energy ventilation conduit. Channelling the natural manas flowing inside of an area through the spiritual connections that the coven shared, contracted to one another as the Io Lineage worked to recompose their chosen’s own capabilities - Mazu became able to see into the natural energies of his surrounding environment(s) and consciously tap into its collective reserves. While able to interfere with another’s or an object’s energies without physical contact through transferences of Natural energies, the allowance to observe the building of and exertion of kinetic forces granted Mazu the ability to somewhat estimate and predict the physical techniques and movements of an opponent or his surroundings far outweighs its barbaric heat - friction inclined assault capabilities... As a true scientist, Mazu always found it much better to fully observe and dissect a target - than to simply & ignorantly "*melt*" or obliterate its anatomy and any course for study with the restricted heat of the ***Kagamiryugan's*** overly charged kinetic stare...

The key difference to this Dojutsu, in comparisons to others like Rinne - Byaku - or Sharingan’s kinetic sight, would be the exception that this ocular bloodline limit has been refined to track the surrounding residual and cumulative physical (Kinetic) energies. Sparking this particular faculty, the user may observe, analyze and correctly trace the opposing subject’s kinetic fluctuations, that of the energies within their environment, and began to search for the obscured auras both visible & hidden to the naked eye. If one were to take a first-person viewage of this technique, it would appear to be similar to that of a thermal kinetic vision, or heat-registering seismic location. These perception capabilities are what has coined its name “Bahmut’s Eye of Judgment”, otherwise known amongst the draconian race as: the Chromatic Dragon’s Eye - as it had originally been granted onto Mazu by his sagely Draconian pedagogues…

##### *Dust Release (塵遁, Jinton, Viz: Particle Style)*

**Type**: Ninjutsu

**Element**: Fire, Earth, Wind

**Description**: Dust Release (塵遁, Jinton, Viz: Particle Style) is a nature transformation kekkei tōta, a combination of earth, wind, and fire. To perform Dust Release, users form a small three-dimensional object (e.g. a cube, a cone, etc.) out of chakra in their hands. The object expands once released by the user and moves astonishingly fast at its target; anything that passes through it (or that is passed through by it) is disintegrated on a molecular level. Because of the sheer destructiveness of Dust Release, its users are usually unmatched in a fight and they can easily fend off countless enemies. For this reason, the best way to combat one Dust Release user is with a second Dust Release user.

Dust Release techniques seem to require a certain amount of preparation time, making it possible to prematurely halt the technique before it is completed. The hand signs also play a crucial role in the preparation, so interfering with the user's arms (or weaving limb) can hinder the technique. Dust Release techniques seem to be rather chakra-taxing for the average or elderly shinobi.

## Clan

The Aoi Clan mainly originates from within the various mountainous ranges of the Land of Lightning and has effectively become a prominent and influential family to the land’s leading shinobi village, Kibogakure. While maintaining a reputation as one of the many secretive clans itself, many of its members have entered into the Shinobi world in order to make names for themselves or the various sub-sects of this clan that they may have belonged to. Said to have existed before even the time of the era of the “Rabbit Goddess”, this clan is rumored to have been blessed/cursed by “***Tessup, Elder God of Lightning & Thunder***” which granted them their various mysterious electrical abilities which more than likely acted as a foundation in their long-standing history within the land; creating their own legacy long before the establishments of modern villages. This blessing/curse acts to transform the anatomy and physical construct of every member of the clan upon the exact hour of their thirteenth birthday.; forcing each member’s physical form into a nearly permanent “***Ionized***” form. This form transforms the clansman's body into a pure form of electricity, allows them to integrate into or take control of existing electrical charges, negates the effects of electrical outputs upon their physical or ionized body, etc; essentially allowing the user to become a true “***lightning elemental***”. Though there are various requirements and stipulations placed upon the clan, so only those within its inner circle would know of its full intricacy. This clan is known to be extremely secretive to the point of hostility with their extensive sets of hiden, jutsu, and techniques. Due to their mastery of Raiton based ninjutsu, electrical feats, and manipulation of ionic forces; the clan as a collective has earned the moniker a, “***Gods of the Current / Electricity***”. Many of the clansmen wear their “***Conductors/ Grounders***” minerals as internal/external jewelry, or infused within exquisite tattoos!!!

**Known Members**: Mazu Aoi

**Affiliations**: Land of Earth, Land of Dragons, Aoi Mountain

## Tools

##### Gensō-tekina (幻想的な, Illusionary Prosthetic

***Rank***: A-S

***Element(s)***: Earth (Doton) Lightning (Raiton Release), Dust Release (Ryushiton/Hokoton), Yang Release, Yin Release

The “***Illusionary***” line of Mazu’s creations appear to be a highly advanced set of prosthetics that are extremely powerful and able to withstand electrical or temperature-based assaults with little-to-no effect; making Mazu capable of outmatching most Iwagakure nin in terms of strength and elemental endurance. These replacement limbs are made to be consistently upgraded and can be steadily developed into giving each the ability to: fly like a missile or float while “weaving” complex hand signs for necessary ninjutsu, stun enemies with an stored electrical shock or poison, or grab an enemy from far away with through puppetry techniques - while his attached blades follow through with the concurring assault. These prosthetics include: Synth-flesh over-skin, a magnetic nanobot woven plating, conductive / insulative composite siding / joints, and stainless medical-grade ***durasteel*** appendages that are all connected to his own very nerves through the use of fuinjutsu seals and nano-robotics; granting Mazu complete and visually indistinguishable replicants his previous limbs. Each of these limbs have been fitted with an internal wakizashi (*Japanese: 脇差, "side inserted nihontō"*),dubbed ***Kowareta ryū no kiba*** (*壊れた竜の牙, “Fangs of the Broken Dragon”*), affixed to Mazu’s very skeletal structure -- crafted from an almost unbreakable type of extremely durable material discovered by Mazu himself and dubbed “***Durasteel***”. This specific mineral originates from a fallen meteorite found only within ***Land of Dragons*** and completely excavated by Mazu, that previously existed as a piece of a wayward moon within the Crab Nebula. Due to its extraterrestrial travel, exposure to cosmic radiation, and various other mysterious properties; this particular mineral has the ability to change its collective structure to the Mazu’s specific needs. The prosthetic themselves carry their own unique properties, allowing for these appendage replacements to supersede anything that the average human body could attempt. When used in tandem with Mazu’s particle destroying “***Dust release***”, they're capable of catastrophic proportions in a manner similar to / on par with the effects of an atomic bomb.

*Each prosthetic is / can be fitted with various attachments capabilities such as: Doton Based Chakra Shield arrays, spools of wired netting, projectile senbon / shuriken seal casters, poisons, etc.*

##### Āsudoragon no uroko (アースドラゴンの鱗, “Earth Dragon’s Scales”

***Rank***: B-S

***Element(s)***: Earth (Doton), Fire (Katon) Release, Dust Release (Ryushiton/Hokoton)

Rumored to have been originally created through the lost Land of Earth fuinjutsu hidan know as “***Astaroth’s Anguish***” (***アスタロトの苦悩, Asutaroto no kunō***) which allowed for a user to transform a being into a thread like substance to be used in artistry, the “***Earth Dragon’s Scales***” are said to retain the durability of the dragon sealed into its creation. Its flexible tensile strength renders it nearly untearable, while it’s transformative composite mysterious negates the effects of fire based assaults. Suiton release or water based onslaughts oddly cause this material to be rendered nearly useless, offering little to no protection from the element while retaining its physical properties. Due to this it has been able to be stained and/or dyed to fit whichever owner’s style. Currently Mazu is it’s handler and with its ability to transform into whatever fashion the user desires, he normally allows it to retain it originally feudal era fashion - though he has been seen transforming this wardrobe before important events to fit it’s dress-code. This all-in-one fashion item is highly coveted amongst the entertainment world, and has been requested for study by various fashion designers… Seeing as Mazu’s family lineage held this sacred item close, none have had the chance to study it or replicate its design.

##### Sefirosuburēdo[/b] ([i]セフィロスブレード, “Sephiroth's Blade"

***Rank***: S

***Element(s)***: Earth (Doton), Fire (Katon) Release, Wind (Fuiton) Release, Lightning (Raiton Release), Dust Release (Ryushiton/Hokoton)

The ***Sephiroth blade*** is a eight-foot Odachi / Tachi blade discovered fully-crafted within the excavated fallen “[b][i]Durasteel[/b][/i]” meteorite found in the confines of the ***Land of Dragons***. Able to cut through nearly any earthly physical material presented to it, sustain and store incalculable amounts of chakra imbued into it, maintain its impossibly durable structure, and more; this heavenly blade has yet to make its debut onto the shinobi world due to Mazu’s previous lack of the need of brandishing this legendary weapon. In training, Mazu discovered that the effects of Dust release had little effect on the mineral “***Durasteel***”, which has allowed him to create techniques that apply this particle obliterating jutsu upon this physics-defying substance to create devastating effects. Mazu has placed arrays along the blade’s handle and blade so that none may take possession of this item, through various fuinjutsu meant to harm, dissuade, confuse, and undoubtedly seal those greedy enough to attempt. This array of seals also allows for Mazu to summon his trusted blade to his given location or to anything/anyone bearing the exact seal given to the blade. Due to the mysterious properties of durasteel working in tandem with the specific type of fuinjutsu set on this blade, it is utterly impossible to decipher / replicate / alter the blade or it’s seals.

##### ~~Burūsukeruton (ブルースケルトン, “The Blue Skeleton”) - Cybernetic Nano-robotic Endoskeleton~~

***Rank***: A

***Element(s)***: Earth (Doton), Fire (Katon) Release, Lightning (Raiton Release), Dust Release (Ryushiton/Hokoton)

~~A collection of biologically engineered and scientifically militarized nano-robotics found within Mazu Aoi’s anatomy have interwoven into his physical structure to create a self-repairing and regenerative endoskeleton capable of altering and bolstering his own natural abilities. The constituting elements of these bio-nanoelectromechanical biorobotic systems (***BioNEMS***) are of nanoscale size, as these small-scale machines are designed to connect together through the “***Aoi Clan’s***” natural electromagnetism in order into assemble various ***2D*** (Two dimensional) and ***3D*** (Three dimensional) shapes and perform tasks cooperatively within or outside of the body. Thiol-ene e-beams resist / allow the direct rewriting of nanoscale features, followed by the functionalization of the natively reactive /resist surfaces with biomolecules. Thanks to their size, they are incredibly versatile, adapting to any situation, able to repair external/internal damages, negate complex poisonous substances, and/or even supply reinforced strength when applied in unison with the user's natural strength. Each bot is controlled by a hive mind manifested within the psyche of their host, commanding the Nanobots to respond with mere thoughts alone. Such nanorobots were originally intended for use specifically within the Aoi clan’s medicinal field of studies, and are self-replicating, as replication increases device complexity, increases reliability, and promotes the Aoi clan’s mission to understand their own anatomy. Working to supplement Mazu’s muscular system, manage and enhance his nervous and sensor systems, notify Mazu of systematic changes through optical visual systems, and help to operate his complex prosthetic array - The nano-robotic composite plated “***Blue Skeleton***” is a marvel of modern medical sciences.~~

##### Amenonuhoko - Heavenly Emperor: Gungir's spear

***Rank***: A - S

***Element(s)***: Earth (Doton), Fire (Katon) Release, Wind (Fuiton) Release, Lightning (Raiton Release), Dust Release (Ryushiton/Hokoton), Yang Natural energy Affinity.

***Weapon Type***: Sansetsukon Glaive

Forged in the sanctum of Draco Genovah, the "***Amenonuhoko***" are a set of Sansetsukon staves melded from the supposed collection of millions of skeletons and scales of long-since deceased draconians, crafted to be the legendary artifact of their empirical archetype. Split into three sectional two foot long pieces, connected by a metallic appearing chain-link cartilage, the transformative head of this staff - crafted from the fang of a deceased Over-god to the Draco Species - allowing for it to carry varying types of ends to appear at either end... (***Total: 365***)

Carrying the essence of the Draconian race, this staff is said to possess both the spirit and body of their people, allowing for it to easily weave and manipulate the fabrics of nature to the whims of its user - making this a perfect accessory to Sage or Environmentally natural inclined individual. Able to extend, shorten, shrink, enlarge, add and less its own weight through the uses of Natural energies - it is said that the dragons crafted this armament as a replica to a long-lost weapon from tales of myth and legend, about the entity who last visited their palace and demanded to take from them a pillar to use its weapon...

***Abilities***: Natural energy affinity, Dust release inclined, Weight / Form Manipulation

##### Pantheon Septenarius - Signets of the Draconian

## Summoning(s) & Companion (s)

#### Companion

***Name***: Aello Okythoe (Ἀελλώ,"storm" or  "storm-swift") (στρίγκλα,  "swift wing")

***Alias(es)***: Kage no me (影の目,“The Kage’s Eye”)

***Species***: Sutōnmauntenhāpīīguru (ストーンマウンテンハーピーイーグル, “Stone Mountain Harpy Eagle”)

***Summary***: The “Stone Mountain Harpy Eagle”  is a mountainous range species of eagle. It is also called the “Sphynx harpy” by the natives due to it’s highly regarded intelligence, ability to fluently communicate in various languages (Even those thought dead and forgotten), riddled manner of speech, and legendary physical capabilities. It is the most powerful raptor found in the Land of Earth’s enormous mountain ranges, and is among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. Though they usually inhabit the tropical lowlands near the bases of L.o.E’s extensive mountain ranges, perched within the upper (emergent) canopy layer; this species has been rumored to hide away treasure high along the range’s peaks amongst an vast cavernous network that has yet to be fully explored by the nation’s geographical divisions. Within the Land of Earth’s Aoi clan sub-sect, the harpy eagle is also known as royal-hawk due to its extraordinary agility and unforgiving ferocity. This particular species of Harpy eagle possesses the largest talons of any living eagle, and have been recorded as lifting prey up to several tons through the use of it’s deep chakra reserves and natural strength -- this allows them to snatch a their prey from tree branches, as well as other unproportionately huge prey items. It’s said that this species' talons, beaks, and claws are able to surgically cleave through extremely durable stone or refined metals with relative ease.

The upper-side of the “[b][i]Stone Mountain Harpy Eagle[/b][/i]” is covered with porcelain-white feathers, and the down-coat is mostly slate-black, except for the feathered tarsi, which are striped black. A broad black band across the upper breast separates the gray head from the white belly. Their heads are normally pale grey, and are crowned with a double crest. The flight feathers of the tail are black with three gray bands, while the underside of it is black with three white bands. The iris is gray or brown or red, the cere and bill are black or blackish and the tarsi and toes are yellow.

[b][u]Personality[/b][/u]:

Discovered by Mazo Aoi during its fledgling period, Aello has become unquestioningly loyal to the man who has given her nothing but the finest of foods, luxury living spaces, and unending libraries to feed her sphyxian appetite for knowledge. Spending most of her time either at her companions' side or lost amongst the low hanging cumulus clouds, this avian dedicates her life in service of Mazo Aoi - acting as his eyes and ears upon the land when he cannot be present himself. Aello is known to be a vicious predator, whose wanton carelessness for lesser life forms tends to cause issues for her owner, as she occasionally takes it upon herself to dine upon the local livestock or pets. Due to this, Mazu has found it easier to keep his beloved friend fed with fully organic exotic delicacies. Able to communicate on an intelligent verbal level, retain innumerable languages, create and sustain her own chakra, and complete strategic tactics and formations with ease - Aello has become a coveted treasure of the Land of Earth, despite her tendency to harm over-enthusiastic strangers. Many regard this animal as the “[b][i]Iwagawian Sphynx[/b][/i]” due to its riddled pranks, questionable and bipolar attitude, and overbearing judgemental presence.

## Chakra and Attributes

##### Chakra Reserves - Chakra Control

***Astronomical - Outstanding***

Descendant from both the Land of Earth’s legendary Mū[/b][/i] bloodline and the Land of Lightning transcendent elemental [b][i]Aoi[/b][/i] clan, Mazu Aoi had been born with an extremely immense reservoir of chakra - instantly marking him for a place amongst the expectant “[i]gems[/i]” or prodigies born of the Land of Earth’s citizens. Testing out within the academy at an early age due to the blessings of his astonishing chakra reserves and immediate aptitude, it did not take long for the village to take not of this monster among men at an early age, allowing for him to be granted access to many of the village’s libraries - including those which held the complete history of his heritage. Time and time again, this individual has shown the capability to fire off numerous high level ninjutsu without showing a hint of fatigue or exhaustion, leading spectators to believe that his reserves may rival that of even a low-tier tailed beast. The efficiency in which he manipulates chakra and rapidly fires off complex high level jutsu hints at the possibility that this man may possibly reach the heights of a “[b][i]God of Shinobi[/b][/i]” title one day if he were to continue his studies. It is rumored that this individual has learned to tamper with the different dimensional application found within the legendary “[b][i][color=chocolate]Dust release[/b][/i][/color]”, marking him as a true pioneer practitioner of this unique technique among others. The ease in which he manipulates [b][i][color=green]Fuiton Release[/b][/i][/color], [b][i][color=chocolate]Doton Release[/b][/i][/color], and [b][i][color=red]Katon Release[/b][/i][/color] have earned him his position of Tsuchikage, as well as, the respect of each release’s collective practitioners.

##### Life Force

***Considerable***

~T.B.C~

##### Willpower

***Strong***

“***Unwavering resolve, unquestioned morals, and the will to stand unmoved by those that dare to raise a blade to harm another. Our will is the bedrock of our nation, and it shall exist forever!!!***”

Mazu’s interpretation of the “[b][i][color=chocolate]The Will of Stone[/b][/i][/color]” allows him to believe that a stone cold resolve and an empathetic world view will grant him all that he desires. Due to this, his humanitarian societal views and unrelenting battle tactics remained unchanged by the opinions of others or influences of the outside world. Though many fall prey to others' negativity, a trickster’s fancy words, or complex parlor tricks and illusions; Mazu prides himself in remaining on his path of morality - even if this can sometimes tend to get him in trouble. He concretely believes that the rights and well-being of the people far exceed his own ambitions, even if it means his own life. Through the use of biologically engineered nano-robotic technology, Mazu maintains a constantly controlled and observed state of being, allowing him to correctly perceive the effects and triggers of the average genjutsu. In a contest of Will, it is said that none outside of the Land of Earth could bear the weight of the “[b][i][color=chocolate]Stone[/color][/b][/i]”

## Abilities

##### Sensory

Mastered

As a descendant of the legendary “Mū”, Mazu had been guided upon the path of sensory techniques from a very young age, as his family and clan had decided to mold the young child in their ancestor’s image. As Mazu continued throughout his years under Iwagakurian shinobi military enlistments, the man found himself given access to many of the village signature jutsu and techniques with which he used to further advance his own ability to sense chakra and presence. Through extensive training Mazu learned to discern the similarity between chakra signatures belonging to close relatives, distinguish chakra from different populations,  avoid techniques that even other Kage found difficult to evade and from nearly every angle, even sense the activity of spiritual based entities, and more. In tandem with his use of Fuiton and Katon release to create similar, if not greater, effects of that of Suiton release so that he might replicate his predecessors own sensory/ninjutsu based “[b]Dustless Bewildering Cove[/b] ([i]r無塵迷塞­, Mujin Meisai[/i]”\* ([i]\*completely erases their presence, causing them to have neither a physical form nor detectable chakra while the technique is active. As such, they cannot be detected through traditional means such as chakra detection or through heightened senses[/i]) null form techniques which earned him the moniker of the “[b][i]Non-Person[/b][/i]”.

Using his own sensory techniques to observe his own presences and chakra residue, Mazu has succeed in obtaining a “[b][i]True Null Form[/b][/i]”, allowing him to erase his own “[b][i]existential[/b][/i]” properties to the extent that he has even obtained the ability to [i]hide[/i] or [i]disguise[/i] his own spiritual signatures.

##### Intelligence

***Genius***

Having been promoted throughout his history into either advanced programs or influential proceedings, Mazu has been given access to a vast extent of knowledge to the ***Land of Dragon's*** higher ranking official benevolence and guidance in his upbringing. Due to this, Mazu shows an extensive knowledge not only within the complex studies of shinobi warfare, but within areas of science, economics, business, and politics. With this gift, Mazu has quickly begun to further his own private inquiries and studies as he continues to create breakthroughs within the prosthetic medical sciences, so that none are forced to live as he once had due to the horrors and carnage of war. Through his military and scientific achievements, he has become widely known throughout the land of earth as a “*jack of all trades*”, or prodigy to the land.

##### Hand Seal Knowledge

***Mastered***

Despite his deformities, Mazu has learned to use his prosthetic limbs within the most intricate of manners, such as forming the hand signs necessary to create ninjutsu or form language to those without the ability to commonly communicate. Mazu rose through the ranks of Iwagakure quickly due to this knowledge, and through it, has previously been granted “*wandering rights*” due to his obvious ability to protect himself and use as a national asset. It is rumored that while he uses his hidden blades to rain down a barrage upon his opponents, his prosthetic hands are able to weave through even the most complicate of known shinobi hand signs at impossible speeds due to their lack of tiring muscular systems and expedited nano-robotic pseudo-nervous system’s lightning fast response systems - even while disconnected from the main body!!!

##### Speed Level

***Immense***

Though Mazu’s natural footwork and mobility outmatches many of the lower ranking shinobi found within the “***Scaled Empire***”, it is known that his ninjutsu based supplemented speed far exceeds that of almost any other shinobi other than those found within the higher ranking of Lightning based shinobi. Using the coveted and highly guarded “***Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique*** (*土遁・軽重岩の術­, Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu*)”; as it allows the user to manipulate the very mass, or gravity, of a subject’s being, including their own, granting them the ability of “[i]Flight[/i]” once mastered in tandem with methods such as Fuiton release or Katon bursts, Mazu has earned his reputation as one of the fastest shinobi within the ***Land of Dragons***. Mazu often holds competitions with his animal companion, “***Aello, Swift-Wing***”, in order to train his in flight mobility and overall speed, seeing as the stone mountain eagle harpy had been one of the fastest avian species within the ***Land of Dragons***.

##### Physical Strength

***Mammoth***

Despite his own physical strength being questioned due to his lacking of actual appendages, his prosthetic limbs have shown extents of physical capacity and durability that have allowed for them to easily crush stone or bend metals with relative ease. It had been assumed by many that it is merely the prosthetics, and in some truths, they were entirely correct. Mazu’s own nan-robotic supplement  physical strength are the base for the prosthetics strength, while being supplement by his naturally immense chakra reserves, allowing for him to exhibit feats of incredible strength rival that rivaled that of other shinobi within the ***Land of Dragons***, What set him apart however had not been burst of strength, rather the ferocious and acute methods in which he implemented such strength. Using his vast wells of ninjutsu knowledge in tandem with that of his own incredible strength, he is known to give the appearance and results of having an endless reserve of physical prowess, while in reality, his own power mirrored that of a mid-tier Iwagawain bodybuilder.

##### Durability - Stamina Level - Recovery Rate

***Mammoth -Immense - Advanced***

Training within extreme conditions and placing himself through several scientific experiments in order to attempt to find some sort of alternative to his prosthetic appendages, Mazu has ended up subjecting himself to experimental nano-robotic technology. Through the use of this technology, Mazu has obtained a passive healing factor which allows for him to regenerative from lesser wounds and ailments with relative ease, while allowing his body to directly syphon harmful foreign bodies from his anatomy with relative ease and little-to-no drawbacks. Due to this, his physical anatomy is set apart from that of the average shinobi, granting him the ability to heal even from fatal wounds if left unbothered for a long enough period. To Mazu’s endless frustration, despite this magnificent and unsettling healing factor, he has been unable to regain the limbs he had lost to his own curiosity and misguided ninjutsu during his adolescent years. These self replenishing, regenerating, and self-operating nano-robotics allow for Mazu’s current muscular structure to operate to its maximum capacity at an almost endless rate due to their ability to not only reduce the negative physical effects upon the muscle, but safely push them to their absolutely limit - as they have woven to form an intricate endoskeleton system interconnected throughout Mazu’s anatomy. By harding or lightning his body through the use of Doton released based techniques, reducing his own traction and air resistance through the use of Fuiton Release, and stocking his own anatomy through the combustive powers of Katon release; Mazu has become a specimen of scientific perfection despite his “[i]broken[/i]” or handicapped form.

## Styles

After training for sometime with the mysterious  wandering, yet oddly silent: “***Pope K***”, and later spending time amongst his draconian brethren within the confines of their spear wielding legions - Mazu accomplished the overwhelming task of learning how to completely operate his prosthetic limbs with the same sense of agility and mobility as those without his physical ailments. Once he had learned to manage his new form, the mysterious presence “***K***”  that had saved his life, simply left, just as quickly as he had entered. Using the knowledge of the priest’s peculiar rehabilitation footwork techniques, as well as the various other physical training required for the man to reconfigure his composure, Mazu stumbled upon a new manner of Taijutsu unique to those with his specific amputee status. Through the use of nanobots, fuinjutsu, and complex chakra manipulation techniques; Mazu is able to disconnect and reconnect the segmented joints of his prosthetic limbs, allowing him: medium-to-long range melee capabilities, access to Battōjutsu & unique “***Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū*** (*天御剣流, Flying Heavenly Sword Style*” sword style, and various allotted shinobi-styled equipment and/or poisons. Within these detachable prosthetic limbs are various layed armaments surrounding medium length blades. Through the use of these weaponized limbs and his own extensive and growing knowledge of the world’s taijutsu techniques, Mazu has earned the moniker “***The Rising Phoenix hidden within the Earth*** (*地球に潜むライジングフェニックス, Chikyū ni hisomu raijingufenikkusu*)” or “***The Earth Dragon*** *(アースドラゴン, Āsudoragon*)” amongst the members of the Underground Murim Society. Mazu’s specifically unique style of Taijutsu has rightfully been dubbed, “***Kamaitachi*** (*鎌鼬, ie: a type Land of Earth based folkloric monster ‘yokai’, thought to be a trio of weasels who appear in a dust whirlwind to cut their victim along the land’s empty plains*)”, as he has been known to make use of weight-adjustment techniques in order to swiftly dismantle his opponent with a barrage of lightning fast punches and weighted kicks intertwined with extreme feats of mobility.

##### Taijutsu

100% Mastery

***Style***: *Twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques (파천십이신공, Pacheonsib-ishingong)*

Rank : Academy - S (Rank varying depending on application)

***The Twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques*** (*파천십이신공破天十二神攻, Pacheonsib-ishingong*) are a set of a martial arts techniques that constitute a style developed by Ao Aoi, the Heavenly Destroyer, and later refined by his prodigy descendant: Mazu Aoi. According to Mazu Aoi, there weren't many who could take a Divine Heavenly Destruction Technique head on and survive. It is revealed that Ao created the Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques by combining the Aoi family's martial arts with the bizarre martial arts of Draconian species, namely Io: Matriarch to the Draconian Mata, in order to create a styling capable of defending his people's future.\*

The Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques displays a wide variety of kicks, flat palm & closed fist strikes, elbows, knees, etc. However, the users of this martial art often utilizes a full arsenal of techniques to including the sturdiness of the Iwagakure "Horse" martial arts, the intense speeds of Battōjutsu (抜刀術, "Drawing blade technique")’s Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū (飛天御剣流, Flying Heavenly Sword Style), & the fluid "bobbing and weaving" of observed draconian wild-life amongst along the astral summoning planes. Through this, the celestial and brutal stylings of the dragon have been captured within the movements and techniques of man.

In displays of extreme close range combat, The Twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques also practices and incorporates numerous take downs and grappling techniques which often begin with a rapid assault of blows, followed by the "hooking" of limbs to snare the victim's own, forcing them to lose balance or to submit in the face of grievous wounds.

###### Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū(飛天御剣流, "Flying Heavenly Sword Style")

***Rank***: Academy - S (Rank varying depending on application)

***Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū*** (*飛天御剣流, Flying Heavenly Sword Style*) is an ancient kenjutsu style from the Sengoku Jidai, developed to allow a single samurai to defeat numerous foes single-handedly, created by the Aoi clan in times before the warring states era. Rooted in the concept of ichi no tachi, or to strike in a single blow, practitioners of this style uses a combination of immense speed and agility, battōjutsu, and acquired, observation-based pseudo-clairvoyance that permits a practitioner to anticipate an opponent's movements due to muscle movement. Both offensive and defensive maneuvers are executed with minimal movement to increase a practitioner's ability to counter-attack and to conserve energy.

As powerful as it may be, Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū can also be detrimental to its practitioners. Medically speaking, the physical demands for style are tremendous. For anyone ill-equipped simply employing their techniques causes cumulative physical damage to their body.

The style commonly has the user keep one hand on the sheath at all times and stresses two-step attacks to ensure that the practitioner is never off guard while executing said attacks and allows the user to use the sheath as a shield to block attacks. Arguably, its most well-known trait is the surreal speed practitioners of this style use in battle (known as Shinsoku, or Godspeed), allowing the user to accelerate, maneuver, and strike at speeds most eyes are unable to properly follow using chakra. This allows the user to close considerable distance in seconds and strike down enemies before they can react. Despite each successor to this style becoming true masters of its teachings and skills, rarely have any of them been able to use this style to true perfection and bring out its full potential.

The techniques of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū have only been held by a select few through the course of it's entire history. In the face of this tremendous power as a style, this is due to its adherence to the strict yet responsible practice of "Ishi Soden", which involves a single master training a single apprentice exclusively. This master-apprentice dynamic continues to the point of succession in which the apprentice graduates into his mastery through a special rite of passage, in which they inherit the style's secret technique (ōgi) and the mantle of "Dragon". This process, however, results in the death of the current master at the hands of the apprentice who must use this secret technique - Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki - against them. Succession also awards the newly-appointed master an heirloom mantle which acts as the certification of mastery. This special mantle is also weighted which enables the master to continuously train their strength when worn, even with everyday activities.

###### Battōjutsu

(抜刀術, "Drawing blade technique") is a field of kenjutsu (剣術, "Sword Techniques" which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword. It is the predecessor of the art of Iaidō (居合道, "way of re-sheathing/quick-drawing"), a shinobi-samurai martial art that emphasizes being aware and capable of quickly drawing the sword and responding to a sudden attack; though their differences stem from the fact that Iaido is much like Kendo as a form of spiritual training and sport, where Battojutsu practices and studies the dynamics of sword drawing and hand eye coordination regarding live action factors of timing, distance, targeting, and the specifics of one's sword, including its size and blade, to strike readily.

It is hence practiced with live swords, in contrast to kata and sparring needs eventually developing the safer bokken and shinai. In most cases, a katana being drawn from its sheath moves with a much greater speed and force than when it is being wielded normally. Additionally, greater drawing speed gives a swordsman more of an advantage in combat than an opponent whose speed is inferior. This is due in part to the fact that a katana's sharp blade curves upward against the inside of the sheath, allowing the swordsman to use more strength in drawing it without having to worry about applying extra control to his movements - the sword's path is guided by the sheath while the blade meets no resistance, moving twenty to thirty times faster than normal.
