Takuri 'Faiz' Sugiura

Character Theme: Destinys Play - Kamen Rider Kiva

Name: Takuri 'Faiz' (spoken: Fives) Sugiura

Nicknames: Masked Wind, Storm Wolf, Goddess of Storms (only a title, she is NO god.)

Age: 9550 Years

Gender: ??? (rumored to be female)

Occupation: Black Knight of the Suigara Order

Personality: Takuri is mostly the silent type of person. Always hidden behind a mask, she hides both her face and feelings infront of others - the only person to know this lone wolf is Misaiko, who is the only one Takuri takes orders from. Always surrounded by an aura of superiority and thoughtfullness, she is one of the most serious Sugiuras. Though she can be friendly and even fool around, usually Misaiko and other old Sugiuras are the only ones who know that.
In fights, Takuri is quite wild, relying on strong attacks and wind-bursts to crush her opponents with sheer force, something that doesn't seem to work with her calm character. However, it is very hard to enrage her, as she keeps her calm and mercyless attack storms up. Many say this fighting style is the perfect antithesis to the controlled and elegant fighting style of her cousin Misaiko.
Despite her mercyless fighting nature, Takuri will not strike down a weakened enemy, or kill someone lying on the ground. That most enemies die before they can fall down into their own blood is not her problem, though.
The only person to have seen Takuri unmasked nowadays and still be alive is Misaiko herself, and some other kids of the founder of the clan. Everyone else is not even sure what gender this Sugiura actually has, since her speak through the mask is dulled and hollowed out.

Appearance: Takuri is roughly 1,90 tall, but has a rather slender and agile figure. However, Takuri is never seen without wearing heavy clothing, boots and gloves, revealing not a single part of her body. Only the hair on her head can be seen, which is in a soft brown, and goes a bit over her shoulders. On the face, Takuri always wears a fox mask, which doesn't reveal anything of her face. Removing this mask is impossible unless Takuri wishes it to be removed. She doesn't have the omega boobs her cousin Misaiko has, but is not flat, either. It can't really be seen under the thick layer of clothing, anyway.
On her head, however, something strange can be seen - like her master Misaiko, Takuri has two wolf ears on her head. They are very much alive, and she has no human ears to speak off.
Without her mask and thick clothing, Takuri looks like this:

History/Background: Takuri was born into the Sugiura Clan roughly 9950 years ago, making her the second oldest born Sugiura today - however, she is only a half-sister to Misaiko, having a different father. Originally, she should've been the second Queen of the Sugiura if anything would happen to her sister, but Takuri refused any involvement with the throne at the age of only 70.
Like Misaiko, Takuri was born with a partially animal-appearance, but had more furry parts over her body, especially her legs and parts of her arms, in addition to claws on the hands. However, this all was paired with a very animalistic and wild nature, very unlike the older sister.
This all steemed from an 'error' with her Sacred. Instead of being a seperate sword, her Sacred was actually partially fused with the body - not in the material sense, but on spiritual level. Due to this, her animalistic nature intensified even more once she started training with the sword. Matters worsened when her power over storms manifested, and Takuri became quite a danger for anyone who tried to train her in the first place. Susano'o, her spirit, was a fierce warrior spirit, not willing to go easy on anything. This all led to an isolation on the part of the young Suigara, feeling that she and her nature where not wanted amongst the other members of the clan. One night, the still relatively young Takuri - she was only around 100 years old - stole multiple scrolls with secrets and arts of the Sugiura Magic, and disappeared from the clan. No matter how hard people tried to find her, she seemingly vanished, and was thought to be dead for over two millenia.
The young wolf-like Sugiura needed nearly all of those two thousand years to master her bestial side, and harness the power of the storms inside.
One day, suddenly, someone stood before the gates of the Sugiura Clan, which had grown quite big during the time Takuri and her Susano'o where gone. Wearing a heavy clothing that hid her entire body, and a mask before her face, it took Misaiko herself to actually identify the runaway female warrior. Not one word was spoken over the time she had been gone from the clan - the magic scrolls where returned, however, not even slightly damaged. She had no further use for them, however - the study of these scrolls had been the key to tame the beast within Takuri and Susano'o. Demonstrating her power quite a few times, it was quickly realized that this 'Storm Element' was something other than simple Wind Element made stronger.

However, after this, it soon became quiet about the silent Sugiura. Staying for herself most of the time, the only person who even remembered the reason why she had disappeared all those years ago, where Misaiko and some other old members of the clan. However, both Takuri and Susano'o felt something, as the millenia passed like water, running down a long stream, drowning memories of the same days over and over. What they felt was... war. Something still unknown to the wolf Sugiura was approaching, death in magnitudes. And she felt one thing - if she stayed even one more day in the clan, she would loose herself and her own life in the flames approaching. Disappearing, Takuri left only one note behind: 'Never loose your way.'

These days where only a short time before what would later be known as the 'Edo Period'. How long in years this 'short time' was, Takuri can't say. It could be days, or a century. What is for sure, however, is an event that took place shortly after Takuri disappeared into the human world: She and her spirit Susano'o went different paths. Leaving the side of the master, Takuri actually regained a normal, human appearance as a Sugiura, while Susano'o ascended higher and higher alone - in the end, he became one of the gods of japanese folklore. Susano'o, the god of storms, the one who slayed the eight heades serpent, and wielded the sword of divine power.
However, as less and less people believed in gods, and the short-term glory began to taste shallow for Susano'o, he returned to Takuris side. Takuri herself used this time without her spirit to fully master the Sugiura arts, and accepted her Guardian Beast back without even one doubt in her heart. Transforming back into the half-wolf form she usually had, 'Faiz' once more came back to the Sugiura Clan.
This was about 300 years before our current story. Seeing as her unusually strong storm spirit had now ascended into the ranks of the gods, and thus increasing Takuris power beyond the level of any normal Clan Member, she became the Black Knight - the direct guardian of her half-sister Misaiko.


Sakkuruddo(Sacred): In the sealed form, this Sacred looks like a regular one-handed katana, and Takuri wears it on her side always.


Guardian Beast:

Takuris Guardian Beast is called Susano'o. In fact, he is actually THE Susano'o - one of the ancient gods of japanese folklore. His element is the Storm, bringing forth strong winds that can blow away man and house, and rain to drown the lands, but also to give new life. Susano'o is the only one able to wield Ama no Murakamo no Tsurugi, the divine sword of great power.


Guardian Beast's World: The inner world of Takuri and Susano'o looks like a gigantic temple, with many interwinding curves, big halls, small chambers, and wide gardens. This temple goes on into eternity, but it still has a center. In this center stands a throne made out of the bones of Orochni, the eight-headed serpent. This is where Susano'o is found most of the times. Takuri often ventures into this inner world to meditate in one of the many gardens.



Element: Storms/Water



Techinques/sugiura Kidou:Takuris basic element is a very strong kind of the wind element she was born with - the Storm element. Even without releasing her sacred, Takuri can create giant gusts of wind with a mere flick of the wirst, sending weaker individuals flying like a twig. Once using her Sacred, Takuri becomes able to control water, and create rain and thunderstorms in her higher forms. More regarding that in the Forms-Section.

God Speed- A Powerful speed based technique, Misaiko has patented down and passed down to her follower's and children, it allows for A Major burst of powerful speed that is so great that it was shown to be able to keep up with a quincy's hireyanku as well as some of the fastest shinigami to live. a trait which surprised both, during the time's the Sugiura's became friend's with both the quincy and the Shinigami. This speed usage at least by Misaiko is so great that it doesn't leave after image's, it gets to a point where her speed leaves no true trace of her sight or even reaitsu because of the fast burst's she can make the usage is shown to be even greater when infusing it with the wind as Misaiko usually does.

Fumeiko (Lit: child with a lack of wisdom)- By focusing reiatsu on the heels of the legs and pushing said reiatsu at incredible speeds, the user's speed is increased unbelievably, to the point that the technique is speculated to be some type of space/time manipulation. The user leaves behind numerous afterimages resembling the user to the highest extent - the afterimages act exactly like the user, even being able to blink their eyes and attack by themselves. They can be hit by a very strong attack, causing them to disintegrate into reiatsu.A technique that Misaiko created long years ago, to many of her follower's after noticing the speed's of the shinigami, so to speak she wanted to create her own style of speed and what not. Utsusemi and the basis for Flash Steps derived from this technique.

Growling Moon: A technique she developed while Misaiko made her own technique, Howling Moon. Focusing Reiatsu into the blade, together with strong sound waves, this is a counter technique able to shatter a whole body. 'Cutting' a circle into the air, it creates a large sphere which starts to float above Takuri. Hitting the blade in the right hand with the left fist, a deep sound emerges, like the one of a thunder.
Once the enemy attacks with either an energy, element or close-ranged move, Takuri swings her blade downwards, firing off the sphere. In addition to nullifying weak and moderate attacks completely, the enemy will be attacked by an extremely fast sound and storm technique - using vibrating, deep tones, the crushing force of the extreme wind enters the body, and beats on the bones and innards of the enemy like a vicious beast, before the sound dims down and the rest of the beats occour on the outside of the enemy. This technique can cause mortal damage to weak opponents without problems, and severly weaken strong enemies. Hierro doesn't help against this technique.

One Strike: Takuris fastest move, and arguably one of her deadliest ones without releasing her Sacred. Concentrating a massive amount of Reiatsu and pure Storm Energy directly in her blade, the Chains around the upper part of the hilt and lower part of the blade get bursted off, like when releasing Susano'o, but instead of changing form, the Katana begins to glow light blue. Dashing forward, with the katana stretched out on the side besides Takuri, she passes her enemy, slashing through with Susano'o.
However, this slash is not the main damage. Just a short moment after the blade contact, a gigantic storm force follows - this hit of blunt and cuting force can sever an enemy in two, or even rip him to shreds. One Strike is known for ending a whole war by cutting down half an army.

Hoi: Designates a person as the target of the spell.


Joso: Designates an area as the target of the spell. Needs a high focus (Sacred drawn) and more Reiatsu.



Ketsu: Creates a barrier around the target enemy or area. The barrier can be used as a defensive messure around oneself, or to trap enemies for a short period of time. Enemies of the same or higher strength can break the barrier with a bit of effort. With a drawn Sacred, the barrier gets stronger.


Kai: Releases the barrier without causing damage.



Metsu: Collapses the barrier inwards, damaging all trapped inside. The more Reiatsu is used, the more devastating the explosion inside the collapsing barrier is. Can be used without a Sacred, the sword makes it stronger, however.



Tenketsu: Opens a dimensional rift in the barrier, disorting the Reiatsu of the one trapped inside, weakening the victim with time. Enemies that are far weaker than the user can be killed by this effect. Can only be used with a Sacred.



Zekkai: Using negative energy, the Suigara fires out an energy attack at the enemy, or repells an attack. A dark aura circles around the user of this technique. It does not require the use of a barrier beforehand, but a Sacred is needed. Since this increases negative feelings inside the user, frequent use is not recommoned, since it can cause depressions, destructive bloodrages or even suicidical thoughts.



Shinkai: Often called the strongest of the Suigara magics, this either creates a huge energy shield in front of the user to not only block, but reflect incoming attacks, or fires out many energy blades onto the target. This technique drains a huge amount of Reiatsu from the user, but has extreme force. If a target gets specified with the weaker spells, the attack has homing abilities. Without a Sacred, it can be deadly to even attempt to use it. Weaker Suigara would kill themselves by casting this.



Dai Shinkai: A secret magic, designed by Takuri herself. Only she and Misaiko can use it as of now. This is a stronger version of Shinkai - it consumes less Reishi, but needs MASTER rank in Magic to be useable, since it needs incredible control. The energy gets compressed even further, allowing to reflect the strongest Kido, needing less Reishi than the enemy needed to perform the attack. This also works against all kinds of Cero. If used as an attack, a smaller amount of blades is released compared to Shinkai, but each of these blades has the strength of a normal Cero.


Nenshi: Another way of binding, this creates a glowing energy thread in the collor of the Reiatsu of the user. It can be used to bind an enemy in place, struggle or torture him. It is connected directly to the palm of the user. This can be used without a Sacred.


Sekkai: Developed to be used against Suigara techniques and Bakudo, this can disrupt barriers by quite a bit, making it easier to break free.


Shuufuku: A healing spell that heals wounds and restores damaged objects. It first creates a weak barrier around the object or person, and then restoring Reiatsu is funeled into the barrier.



Shikigami: This creates small paper dolls that the user can use as measures of spying on enemies, since the user sees everything the small papercut does.
Musou: A technique to highten the body of the user. Pumping Reiatsu into the muscles, they get faster, react better and stronger, but give up capabilities with magic casting at the same time. Lasts for about 20 minutes.

Gekidou: is a Special Sugiura Magic that can, Create a strong Prism made out of the color of the user's Reaitsu around the opponent, effectively catching them and trapping them inside the prism. Similar to Six ways of binding light, it explodes when you make contact on the user, by an attack or even a punch, often causing damage into the body of the enemy from the powerful reaitsu being pushed down on their body. This Can be used without a sacred and depends more on the reaitsu of the user. In order to completely trap them however, you must be able to fully see them and they have to be at least a bit of a mile close into your radius to do so.

Kyuusaisha: is a technique that utilizes calling on the help of another sugiura, when in their respective area they can create a small telekinetic message throughout the area to one specific Sugiura to go to their aid if they are being ganged up on or even in a very horrible and unlikely situation. Depending on the Reaitsu Level and tier. they can send more messages. This can be used without a Sacred or with a sacred to call on more help.

~Forms~

~Joushou~ (Ascending)

In this form, Takuri can't use her mask anymore. After it is taken off and her Sacred is drawn, this stage reveals her true face... which is not as human like as normal. In fact, her face looks animalistic, having brown-yellow eyes, red marking on her face, visible fangs and animalistic, fur-having body parts on both the arms and the legs. Not to forget, she also has a wolf-tail.
After the form is entered, the katana-shaped Sacred changes form, into a two-edged straight sword. The abilities are:
#1: Storm Gust. This technique is an enhanced version of the normal storm winds Takuri can throw, and is executed with the left, free hand. The wind is now strong enough to effect same level opponents to throw them off balance. Noticeable by winds circling around her left hand first.
#2: Cold Wind Slash: A swordslash enhanced by cold, cutting winds. Upon hit, they encircle the opponent and hit many times from many directions for minimal damage on all body parts. Can disable an opponent when used often enough by the sheer pain inflicted.
#3: Gale Crash: Slamming the wind-imbued blade on the ground, a shockwave is send forward, devastating whatever is in its path. If the swordstrike hits the opponent directly, the extreme crushing force can break sealed weapons or close-combat weak unsealed ones into splinters. This does not apply for the shockwave.
#4: Tornado Blow: Charging a circling wind around her Sacred before thrusting it forward, this relaeses a piercing storm, with the 'tip' of the tornado being the tip of the attack. This has enough force to pierce the hardest steel on the world, breaks through Hierro like through a ripe apple and can level an entire building with one hit.
#5: Distance Sword: Using the Sacred as a catalyst, Takuri can create storm blades that fly at the opponent from afar. Up to twenty of those can be unleashed in one combo.
#6: Rain: A basic ability, that deals no damage to opponents. Instead, the sky is darkened, and it begins to rain. The longer the fight goes on, the stronger the rain gets.


~Zenou~ (Almighty)

In this form, Takumis mask is fully removed, and her partially antromorphic look changes into that of a Wolf-antromorph completely.

Besides increasing her control over the Storm even higher, making her able to throw tornado and hurricane-strength winds with a flick of the wrist only, this form has the following extra abilites unlocked:
#1: Rain Storm: The basic strong rain of the Ascending Form gets strengthened by this. Instead of just strong rain, now extreme winds blow over the battlefield, too. Howling over the ground and in small whirls, these very literally throw the water in the enemies eyes, making spotting Takuri with the eyes alone a real bitch. The ears can't help much either, thanks to the wind noise.
#2: Orochis Wrath: Eight swift strikes with a wind-imbued Sacred. Each of the strikes has armor breaking strength, and the last blow unleashes the stored wind energy, blowing the enemy away - or, if it is a weak enemy, APART.
#3: Storm God Wrath: The sacred and left hand are both charged with enormous amounts of Storm Reiatsu, before Takuri speeds over the target and unleashes this pressure downwards. An enemy cought in it will be thrown to the ground and suffer severe injuries from the fall on the hard ground and the cutting properties of Susano'os wind blades. A weaker enemy (under Tier 2) would immedeatly be flattened into a nice pancake.


~Kyuu Kyou~(Ultimate)

For the ultimate Stage, Takuri and her blade Susano'o fuse together, forming a white, black and golden armor.

Instead of a sword, Takuri uses two gigantic claws attached to each arm. They are held like katar-blades, covering the arms with protective, thick shields. All of her previous abilities can still be executed, with even greater force.
#1: Thunder Storm: The rainstorm from the previous form was bad enough, but this is where shit is hitting the fan. The wind gets even stronger - hurricane-strong winds blow across the battlefield constantly. Daylight has no chance to brake through. In order to see anything, the user needs heightened senses and the ability to ignore the wind and rain, like Takuri herself can. Thanks to thunder and lightning now breaking about, one has to be careful that none of these lightnings actually hit the body, or they fry you alive. Because of that, it's more safe to fight on the ground once this storm hits. Takuri herself can redirect any lightning drawn to her blade and make it ineffective, as long as it is the natural lightning. This does not make her immune to lightning based attacks.
#2: Ama no Murakamo no Tsurugi: Often shortened into Tsurugi when used. When using this move, the claws of the armor start to glow slightly blue, with a hint of white. While in this state, a slash of her claws through the air releases a giant hurricane of cutting force, able to mow down an entire army of henchmen with one blow. If the claws make contact with the enemy directly, the crushing force of ten scyscrapers falling on him will be released at once. A devastating double blow of this takes a large amount of Storm Reiatsu out of Takuri, and she will most likely need to deactivate her Ultimate Form right away afterwards. The only person known to see this and still be alive is Misaiko, when Takuri used it once to protect her.
