Amaya Again

nd exclusive to Amaya revolving around and demonstrating her steadily growing mastery and comfort with the blade. Stemming from the name given to her by her older sister due to the rapid "jitters" she would previously make when engaging in a battle of blades with an opponent, Amaya has created a swordsmanship style based on the owning of those mistakes and transforming them into her strengths.

The results of her efforts, Jitterbug is a a swordsmanship style powered by "vibrations", previously from nervousness, but now in response to her intent; and an ideology that everything, no matter what it is, animate or inanimate, living or dead, "jitters", and that everything that jitters can be cut by her, a Jitterbug. Amaya believes that there are styles of jittering, one referred to as a Hard-style, where one stores up the power of their jitters into one massive "breakdown" as Amaya calls it, and a Soft-style, where one's jitters are constant and transmitted through the blade to alter the way it interacts with the jittering of other things. However, any technique or slash does not need to be solely one form of Jitter.

* "Burst: The most elementary of Hard-Style jittering techniques, Burst is perhaps the most useful and potentially the most devastating Hard-Style technique in Amaya's arsenal. Burst is the heart of the Hard-Style, revolving in the storage of her jitters within the blade, as if an echo chamber. This is accomplished through the use of a unique grip of the blade Amaya developed to accomplish such a feat. Upon detecting a critical point in the flow of opportunity, whatever that opportunity is, one rotates the blade, releasing a potent wave of the stored up force to accomplish her tasks."

* **Phase:** By rendering his blade intangible and imperceptible to the world and back extremely rapidly, Michael has determined that with his blade he can distort the atmosphere around his blade to produce miniature shockwaves that flow around his katana, dramatically amplifying not only the force of a cut, but the impulse felt by an opposing swordsman or combatant from a clash. Thus, combined with the rapid acceleration allowed by Persona and his own intellect Michael has demonstrated the propagation of miniature sonic booms around his blade at his own discretion, granting his blade the ability to literally burst through its target if he so chooses. When parrying a strike or thrust, Michael has demonstrated the ability to time the use of these miniature shockwaves to break the posture of his opponent or against lesser swordsmen disarm them completely, allowing him to make a decisive strike. Finally, these shockwaves are extremely useful against projectiles, as Michael has demonstrated the ability to stop incoming projectiles with this technique without his blade ever needing to come into contact with the object in question, or at least slow it down for a quick dodge.
	+ **Cleave:** By applying the concepts of Persona to his mind, and combining it with an external manifestation of Persona in the form of his selective tangibility, Michael has demonstrated the ability to see nothing but that which he intends to cut, and cut nought but which he intends to cut. As a result, Michael has demonstrated the ability to move with a single unified purpose of cutting down his target, his blade simply phasing through unnecessary substances or individuals being tangible only to his target.
