ARASHI
Sovereign storms of steel that trample the battlefield

Arashi are those who pilot war machines such as Walkers, tanks, or fighter or bomber planes. They are specialists at using their vehicles as weapons.

Though they are similar to Kaze in their mastery of driving, Arashi see vehicles other than their own as something to be destroyed. To perform this task is their very way of life.

In the city, far removed from any battlefield, one would think their specialty to be of little use. Yet, though they may not be fighting a way, there are many who have not last their identities as Arashi.

They will someday realize, as night engulfs the world, that there is a place for the roar of cannons and the scream of twisting metal even on the streets of Tokyo NOVA.

MIRACLE: BREAKTHROUGH

When inside your vehicle, whether with its weaponry or more direct means, you can break anything.

Choose one Outfit such as a Vehicle, or alternately a building or structure. That object becomes [Broken] after you trample on it, blast it with your cannon, or some such method. You can also target a single group of Troops; if you do this, they are instantly destroyed.

This Miracle cannot do damage to any Cast Members or Guests. Though causing a building to collapse may kill any Extras inside it, Cast Members and Guests will escape unharmed.

Though this Miracle ignores range and conventional defenses, you must be able to reach your target. If they use Exodus in response to your Breakthrough, the two will cancel each other out.

CONDITION: If you use Breakthrough to quite literally break through (or otherwise eliminate) an obstacle, the [Used a Miracle fittingly] bonus can be awarded,
