istorically there are hundreds to thousands of individuals born on soil who carry ideals fed to them; through an upbringing or a mentor. In their escalated state they become unbreakable, diamonds with rough edges but the defense to protect hearts and break through other mindsets. Sarada, the head of the Nakano Clan, has had several individuals before her pave the way - their words and thoughts, dreams and hearts, were opened to her through numerous books and fables of great power and fortune. Never once announced as a troublesome or angry child, Sarada was generally known to be brash and direct.

Leaving no quarter for mistake, her emotions were very much enclosed and logic took hold of her cortex. When the art of warfare became documented as the only way to extend dreams to reality, Sarada began to recollect fables of old and saw a new Japan , one in which the weak fed the strong and the strong lay a knee to one who held the strongest dream.

With clashing thoughts of Japan's future and the potential for it to be united, the book reader from Kyoto has now honed her body for the birth of a new future in which the books will retell her creation of a living fable; Japan in ashes under nightfall, reborn for the hunter's moon.

Vapid

emptiness hugs virtue.

Sarada unsheathes Samehade and shakes the sword twice, this dispells the violet blade, causing the actual sword to vanish into a fine mist of decay, plague, and shade. This technique requires a Perception check which must meet equal or greater levels to be seen within the air. If the check fails, the enemy cannot ever see which direction or what attacks come from Sarada unless she visibly makes them so.

Bloom

from death, life.

Once Samdehade is exposed into the air, Sarada is capable of controlling torrents of darkness with the sweep of her fingers and the thrust of her palms. Like a black sand the oblierating current of shadow like filth, when it touches it erases and shreds reality like razors over a corpse. It carries heavy weight, it drops with massive collision and undeniable strength, but it otherwise is just that, darkness. This technique becomes a passive regardless of whether the check is met or not. When attacks are slung from Bloom any user that is hit by Bloom must go through an Element check. If their element is not equal to Sarada, then every attack for up to five posts will fill an individual with dread, fear, and anxiety. If the element check is equal, the defender will strong will themselves through the psychological, but will not take less damage.

Exhaust

rush the landscape; desecrate.

Samehade enrages as life and light carry on, it bolsters itself and then erupts in towers of darkness while being sightless. Exhaust requires an Agility check to avoid being struck by random geysers of darkness and void power. Every five posts a geyser will erupt and continue to increase after every five continuing posts of combat. If the individual passes the agility check, they can avoid these geysers, dodge them, or take the blow freely and suffer no damage. If the agility check fails by being lower than Sarada's own, the poster has to actively waste one post turn to block the incoming wave or dodge it.

Nightshade

listen to the whispers.

Samehade and Sarada become one, as Sarada begins to inhale sharply to pull the darkness into her body. After consuming the malignancy that is Samehade, she becomes absolute in her control over darkness. Strength and Ranged Combat become maxed out, however the Intelligence of the Daimyo drops to a complete nothingness, only being drawn towards consumption, destruction, and death. After ten entire posts of Nightshade being active, the effect will drain and Samehade returns to a solid visible state. At which point, Sarada is unable to use Vapid, Bloom, or Exhaust for the remainder of combat.
