TAIJUTSU
Wolf Claw
The user of this technique channels Rinki into his fingertips, making them likes wolf claws that are hard and sharp enough to be used as weapons. He then aims a raking slash at his target, which, being used just like a normal physical strike, can effectively counter an enemy's strikes.
Dire Strike
The user of this technique channels Rinki heavily into the limb he intends to strike with, using it to put an extreme amount of force behind the strike. The technique gives up speed to create an explosively powerful strike, intended to cause as much damage as possible.
Dodge II
An improvement over the basic dodge technique.
Jumping Knee Strike
This technique is exactly what its name implies. The user jumps into the air, driving his knee directly toward the bottom of chin of the target. If landed, it will momentarily stun the target, as well as cause damage to the head, particular in the jaw and parts surrounding it.
Dire Strike Combo
This next step in the Dire Strike series is a combination of strikes on the target. The user of this technique channels volatile Rinki into two or more of his limbs, pushing himself to strike as hard as physically possible then harder through the added force his ki allows. Once enough Rinki is focused, the user bursts into a combination of explosively powerful strikes, intended to cause as much damage as possible.
Dire Feint Strike
The user of this technique or any similar must possess a style that practiced projection of ki. The user projects ki as he makes a feint strike, leaving an after-image to cause the target to attempt to avoid a strike that is not really there. As this distraction occurs, the user steps into a side flip-kick, bringing his foot down at the back of the target's head to attempt to knock him down on his face or at least send him stumbling to allow for a follow-up attack. Used as a counter, the user simply skips making a strike and leaves an after-image that appears to take the hit as he jumps into the strike.
Blink
Blink is a sklll made to model the quicker instincts of the animals found in nature, of the quick retreat of the feather as your hand tries to scoop it up, of the quick redirection of a bird that doesn't wish to hit something. It is a skill that represents speed, but not just any speed, speed that surpasses what the typical body should be able to create and handle. A quick burst, a quick movement and a quick dodge. All of these are the weapons of the most desterous parts of nature, the ability to quickly move away despite the conditions.
Just remember, a blink is all it takes to miss the movement and a blink is all it takes for a master of this skill to move.
STYLES
Wolf Fist
The "Wolf Fist" style is a Kemonoken style that focuses on the swift, powerful, and vicious movements of a wolf. It is suited mostly for close-combat, using Rinki to create vicious strikes to bring down prey. In addition, its users tend to excel in stealth and group combat. A pack mentality is not uncommon among groups of Wolf Fist users.
Dire Wolf Fist
The "Dire Wolf Fist" style is a Forbidden style branching off of Wolf Fist style. It is focuses on power, strength, and fierce destruction of prey. It utilizes Rinki-fueled attacks for explosively powerful strikes, as well as allows for Rinki to be projected from the body for attacks that resemble Ninjutsu and are dangerous, even to the user if not done properly. Due to its destructive power, this style is considered Forbidden and is quite difficult to master.
The first user of this style destroyed much of his body creating it. The current Grand Master of Dire Wolf Fist is Wu Youkio, a mercenary who stole the scrolls from their vault as a boy during war and was exiled from his home village for practicing it.
TRANSFORMS
Dire Wolf I
Simply put, this is the first stage of a Beast Fist user's transformation. Depending on the style of Beast Fist, it can take many different forms, but they all essentially look the same, a cross of human and animal. As one learns to control the ki better, the transformation can make one almost appear to be fully beast-like, along with major changes to physical appearance.
In a Dire Wolf Fist user, this means beginning to take on the physical appearance of a mildly-transformed werewolf. His hair turns completely white and grows out a bit, along with some facial hair growing out. His ears take on a pointed look as they grow out a bit, his cheek bones shifting a bit to take on a more beastial look and hands taking on the form of a werewolf's claws. He also gets a slightly taller and growing a bit in lean muscle, allowing him to move faster and with more ease of reach in hand-to-hand combat.
