Méiguīdào (玫瑰道, Way of Roses)

The Way of Roses is the martial art developed by the **Xian (僊; Immortal)** Kong Gang Roung. The art revolves around using the powers developed by the Lán méiguī, or Blue Rose. The Way of Roses has three major schools. **Gēndào (根道, Root Path), Cìdào (刺道, Thorn Path), and Yèzidào (叶子道, Leaf Path)**. There is also the **Huā (花, Flower)** which marks all of the dào.

Gēndào or Root Path is the base style in which the others manifest from. It involves manipulating ones Urayoku and developing of ones **Lán méiguī (蓝玫瑰, Blue Rose)**. The Gēndào is the first step toward any devevelopment of the Méiguīdào. It begins with the Blue Rose, which exist inside of them. They begin to feed it their Urayoku strengthening their core. This causes the Blue Rose to take root in themselves allowing its effects and power to flow though them. Using the Rose itself as a medium a individual can ehanhance themselves and their pressures. They can even allow themselves to take on plant like features. To truly walk the Gēndào one needs both dicipline and knowlage.

Cìdào or Thorn Path takes a step forward. They use their connection to manifest parts of the rose. They use these rose pieces in combat, and in normal life. The Thorn Path comes in two seperate forms. The Physical and the Spiritual. One understand wht a Rose represents and signifies can get more out of their Thorns than simply creating them.

Yèzidào or Leaf Path is the study of magic. It is the art of molding ones Urayoku and Tokuatsu to create spells. The users take advantage of its programable nature in order to create complex spell craft. They also use their Urayoku to interact with the Uryakou in the enviroment around them in order to extend their effects and abilites. As a Leaf greets the world and absorbs the suns rays, so does the Yèzidào which absorbs the natural Urayoku of the world.

## **Lán méiguī (蓝玫瑰, Blue Rose)**.

Lán méiguī is a Divine Rose, created by Ilmr, Goddess of Roses and the Xian (僊; Immortal) Kong Gang Roung . The Rose was created as a gift to Kong by his divine mother Ilmr, who was confused about his creation but did not want him to die.

The Lán méiguī does two things. One, it gives the person who accepts it access to domains. Two it uses Tōhū wā-ḇōhū to change the targets domain into that of Roses.

The changes to the persons spirit enacted by the rose gives the user access to Xiānhuā shùnxù (鲜花顺序, Order of Flowers) or simply shorten to The Way.

1. Those who begin The Way gain access to several abilities
2. They can naturally produce pure Uraryoku.
3. They can control and manipulate Tokuatsu
4. Their Bodies can use Rose like features.
5. They gain the ability to Flower , a unique power of the individual
6. Once they reach a certain level of mastery they themselves can produce Blue Roses

## **Huā (花, Flower**

Every individual who uses Méiguīdào can be considered a rose vine. On the end of the vine there is a Huā. The Huā is ones unique ability that manifest as their Rose matures. It is unique to them and can manifest from any of their Méiguīdào. The ability however usually manifest itself in the shape of a Flower in some form or fashion. This can be as subtale as the flow of their energy resembling a flower, or as open as a giant flower blooming from a area.

## **Gēndào (根道, Root Path)**

Gēndào is the martial wing of Méiguīdào, and the base of all the other Paths. Those who start with the root path feed their Lán méiguī with Urayoku. This causes it to grow and spread throughout their spiritual body. From these roots they grow stronger. From these roots they can direct the flow of their Urayoku and manipulate their Tokuatsu. There are a myriad of combinations of punshes, kicks, and blows that come from Gēndào and the Martial Arts. However there are a few universal moves that mark ones mastery.

**Shù pí (树皮, Bark Skin)** - Shù pí is the result of a Gēndào user extending the roots of their rose thoughout their entire body. This causes thier skin to become extrodinary durable. Like the bark on a tree. This also causes their insides to become sturdy as well, making them like a great oak. Of course the strength is far stronger than wood.

**Sǎo bù (扫步, Sweeping Step)** - The user manipulates their Tokuatsu to clash with the pressures around. This causes the other pressures to push back against their own. They then channel this push back force through their energy to lunch themselves in a direction.

**Lǜ yǎn (绿眼, Green Eye)** - A technique where the users reonates their Tokuatsu with the Tokuatsu in the enviroment. This allows them to detect the movement of pressues and enrgies as they disrupt the Tokuatsu with thier passing.

**Héxié (和谐, Harmony)** - The users resonates their internal Urayoku with the Urayoku around them allowing them to take control of it. They they then use this control to draw it out from the enviroment and use it to enhance their own strikes and movements. This causes a opponent to no only fight them, but the very enviroment itself.

**Mǎn yì bēi (满溢杯, Overflowing Cup)** - It is a strike that infuses a mass of Urayoku into the item souls of a target. This mass of energy causes the flood gates in the souls to burst. This releases a massive amount of Urayoku that then floods to the next item soul. As a result the target explodes into green energy as the Urayoku flood tears their existence apart.

## **Cìdào (刺道, Thorn Path)**

Cìdào or thorn Path, is not about manifesting the Lán méiguī not in oneself, but in ones energies and pressure. One manipulates thier pressures giving it aspets of Lán méiguī. This can be something as simple as turing their pressure into a whip made of roses, or as complex as creating an entire rose garden at will.

**Huāyǔ (花语, Flower Language)** - Diffrent types of Roses have diffrent types of meaning in the world. One can manifest the diffrent types of Roses inside of their pressure to form them. These roses when looked upon draw out the emotions from the user, or those who look upon them to empower the rose, or the effect the rose is attached to. They can also be used to express meaning to others by simply looking at them.

**Méiguī cì (玫瑰刺, Rose thorns)** - The user sees the horny veins of the roese into their pressure. They then spread the pressure out from themselves. When someone enters into that pressure it is as if they are entering into a bush of rose thorns. This turns their pressure into blades stopping people from rushing them with greater speed, as their speed now becomes their weakness. This can be extended by resonating with their enviroment causing the rose thorns to spread much faster, putting a limit on enemy speeds.

**Huāfěn (花粉, Pollen)** - The user manifest their Lán méiguī through their presure creating pollen. This pollen can then be spread around the area to infect the uryoku around them. This pollen can also effect opponents Uryoku if it touches them. The pollen can be used to carry effectss, or bloom into roses.

**Shèngkāi de méiguī (盛开的玫瑰, Blooming Rose)** - The user compress their pressure to the point it enters into themselves. They then imagine the bloom of their rose, causing it to erupt from them with great force. This bloom carries their Huā (花, Flower), and Huāfěn. The Shèngkāi de méiguī can be compared to a Bankai upon release, increasing the power of the uers Hua ten fold

## **Yèzidào (叶子道, Leaf Path)**

**Yèzidào (叶子道, Leaf Path**) is the Magical Arts of Méiguīdào. Followers of Yèzidào manipulate and control their Tokuatsu to craft **Mófǎ (魔法, Magic**), or the more common terms Urado. The amount of spells possible are infinate as shaping ones Tokuatsu can allow from a endless amount of combinations and effects. Understanding these effects and posibilieis is the work of a **Xiàngdǎo (向导, Wizard)**.
﻿
Xiangdao religiously record the effects of Magic, and store this knowlage inside of scrolls. They catagorize these magics based on what they affect seperating them into catagories. In their catagories the magic is then ranked based off power and difficulty to cast. The higher ranking the more difficult a spell is. Certain spell and spell combinations that are deemed too dangerous are kept, but are marked as Forbidden Arts or Jìnjì yìshù (禁忌艺术, Forbidden Arts).
﻿
While Magic in itself is a endless discipline there are a few magical techniques that are commonly used.

**Zhuǎnhuàn (转换, Conversion)** - Zhuanhuan is a Mófǎ that affects a targets reiryoku or Urayoku . The Jinji Yishu conversts one to the other and vice versa.

**Tiānbù (天步, Heavenly Walk)** - Tiānbù Manbu is a Jinji Yishu that allows one to convert their intellegence into speed. This allows the user to move at the speed of their wisdom. This magical effect is caused by the users experting their spell craft into the Remiyaku that creates their existence drawing out this potential.

**Tiān yīn (天音, Heavenly Sound)** - Heavenly Sound is a sensing spell where the users uses their spell craft to ping the Reimiyaku. This creates a ripple in it, that travels though the world. They can then read the ripples and locate everything around them.

**Tiānmiè (天灭, Heavenly Destruction)** - the users manipulates their Tokuatsu changing its polarity from a positive to a negative. This causes the Tokuatsu around it to repell from it, which in terms causes the Reshi to be repelled as well. The user then explands the Tokuatsu leaving a area inside devoid of any Reshi. This creates a void, and from that void they can draw out the potential of Anti Reshi. The Anti Reshi fills the void space as it is formed, contained by the repelling nature of the Negative mass Tokuatsu. The target then releases the Tokuatsu on a target opening it up. This opening forces the Anit Reshi to blast out striking a target with Anti Reshi. The Anti Reshi then combines with the Reshi to a target annihilating them both in the process.

**Tiānzhèn (天阵, Heavenly Formation)** - the user manipulates their Tokuatsu with their Mófǎ allowing them to change the state of matter the Tokuatsu exist in. They can make it into a Solid, Liquid, or a Gas. Tokuatsu already naturally exist as a plasma and thus can not be turned into such. This is imporant because manipulated of the Tokuatsu state manipulates the Mofa they are producing allowing one to give a spell a state of matter.
