       Gale's Halo - Io swings his blade horizontally in a 360 motion. This technique is best for dealing with enemies that have surrounded the user.

###### Kazekami (Divine Winds)

Io uses the Arasho to summon powerful winds that he can manipulate to his will. Heaven's Gentle Breeze creates a small tornado from underneath someone to lift them into the air defenseless.  Heaven's Bellow blows a strong gust of wind that can blow away anything in it's path.

#### **Blade Techniques:**

###### Ochite Kurten (Falling Skies)

A downward slash from above the opponent.

###### Kazekami: Arashi Kiru (Divine Wind: Storming Slash)

Io uses the Arasho to trap the target within a violent whirlwind. He unsheathes the Fuhane at a vertical diagonal angle with Gale's Edge. He then jumps into the air, uses a burst of wind to propel himself towards the opponent, and performs a horizontal slash. Once he lands to the ground, he sheathes his sword as the whirlwind disperses into four sections.

## Relationships

### **Family:**

###### Shion Harumi(Son)

Io had Shion at a very young age, therefore he always been more of a big brother to him rather than a father. Because of this Shion did not have very much  seniority respect for his father outside of his strength.

###### Prince Dariel Channon (Spouse)

Io first took a liking to Dariel during the masquerade of the Clash of Kings.

###### Diore Channon (Son)

Diore is second child by surrogacy. Using the experience he's had with Shion, Io has a  more matured father-son relationship with Dione than with his first child. Whereas Dariel mostly provides him with emotional support and advice, Io provides him with the lessons and skills necessary to for him to achieve independence.
