INAZUMA GAKUEN! The place where the strong come to become stronger! A state of the art school hidden in rural Japan where the curriculum of classes is centered on the improvement of all forms of combat, unarmed or armed. Built and funded by the Japanese Government until the 80’s when the economic bubble popped and it had to be sold to a private security company. Under the new management the old techniques were fused by the newest technologies training to maintain the traditions while improving the methods. As many of the traditions from old Japan, handpicked from Shinobi Villages, Warrior clans, Samurai Families and gifted individuals are so dangerous most of the students are either part of warrior families or orphans without anything but talent for combat.
The goal of the school is to improve the students to their top potential while allowing the students themselves to improve the school, either by creating new techniques or new training regimens to enhance the Inazuma Style of Warfare, a massive fighting style that covers most of the known weapons and styles, mixing them in a single school for every single weapon, meaning, joining all the sword school into a single style and improve it constantly. Some purist oppose to this normalization of fighting, yet truthfully this style and teachers for it are the main goal to keep the funding, as it is the main source of revenue for the school a flexible fighting style that is easy to teach and effective in battle, to train foreign soldiers or mercenaries with enough money to pay up.
Currently there are 1200 students in the school divided in 6 different years of progress. Each year is passed if the students defeats a 100 fighters in his same level, 10 on the next and 1 of any class over the next one. When the students reaches the 4 year he needs to pass special test designed by the teachers, many too dangerous to even contemplate, yet a must-do to get into the 5 and 6 years. When you reach that point you can’t lose a single fight or you will be pushed back to the 4 year. A student is allowed a limit of 10 years since his entry, if he isn’t in the 5 or 6 year at least one time, then he will be expelled from the school or kept as cannon fodder for the most promising student to practice on if he proves to be a danger for the secrecy of the school.
Since it went private the school receives international students, thus the school originally small turned into a small city, with services and some entertainment as the most recent studies showed that some kind of distraction from constant training could allow the students less possibilities of shattering under pressure, still this is monitored by the faculty. Inside the Years and through them there are certain important groups with members that share objectives, traditions, styles or just the company of each other. This groups are referred as “Sento no Han” (Combat Clans) and had been incorporated to the curriculum in team battles, depending on the martial arts they employ they are matched against other similar groups and the winners get benefits upon equipment and tutelage.
Faculty
The current headmaster is the retired General from the JSDF and formerly a coronel of the Imperial Army, Kyoshi Kenmei. He is an undefeated Karate Master and formerly member of the Anti-Gainen Forces during the 60’s. He trained the Anti-Gainen Task Force (Better known for their colloquial name Gainen Satsujin Tai or GStai) and then tried to retire, but The Musai Security Corporation hired him to serve as a teacher. In matter of years he climbed positions until the previous headmaster, Kodai Senshi, master of the Ten Sashi Shokuin Style, retired. Kenmei-sensei is a Spartan trainer that keeps tabs in the most promising students with an iron hand. His only weakness is booze, so the faculty tries to stop him from drinking and going into rampages. He is a simple man, who understands the need of technology to improve the techniques and methods, yet he would prefer the traditional methods over the new ones every given day. He abandoned his former base of operations in Sakurajima to one of his students, Reiji Fukuma, who was part of the GStai. Kyoshi Kenmei is the Steel beam that supports the school and usually is the one who puts the hurt into the misbehaved students, as in this school corporal punishment is a given.
There are 20 teachers in each year; all covering most of the most common fighting style and two teachers in charge of gathering techniques and data from improve the Inazuma Style of Warfare. Each teacher is usually in charge of 10-15 students maximum, yet some have many more, especially in the first year, were most of the students are stuck, some all their careers. Usually 600 students are in the First year, 200 hundred in the second year, 100 in the third year and the remaining 300 in the 3 upper years. Since the inception of the school many students have become teachers in the school and many others passed the tests to become official Inazuma Style Warfare teachers and work overseas in other countries as instructors.
Class M Teachers
Kenmei Fukitsuna (Martial Arts Teacher)
The most popular teacher of the beginner classes, Kenmei is dashing, mysterious and gentlemanly, making him the target of half the female population crushes. He is smart, strong and has looks a winning combination. Still he is disliked by some of the Faculty for his methods and background. When he was younger he was a very promising practitioner of an ancient Kung Fu Style known as Áoxiáng shén quán (Soaring Divine Fist) which he used with almost perfect skills.
Yet he had a womanizer streak at the time and tried to make a move on a fellow martial artist woman. He was challenged to a duel and fought, yet the enemy brought back up and after a long fight Kenmei arm got chopped down. The more traditionalists Teachers of the school thought that his career should have ended there, yet Kenmei forsake the old ways and embraced the new ones. In two years he mastered advanced robotics, an amazing feat, proving his genius, and built a replacement. He destroyed the Dojo and killed all who lynched him.
He decided that teaching was something to do after revenge and offered his services to the school that previously tried to scout him. The same group that dislikes his background also dislikes his methods, as he embraces technology with reckless abandon always creating new machines or devices to train students and he gets results, but the purists insist he is taking the spirit out of their traditions as Martial Artists.
Kurogane Kotetsu
A Shinobi exiled from his clan for the crime of breaking ancestral traditions. What was exactly his crime; he broke the rule that prohibited the use of firearms. It was an accident, a last minute resort action that forced him to use a gun he took from a guard in a mission. His own brother accused him to the Village Elder and he was forced to leave. At first he hated guns, as they cost him everything, yet as he was cut from his clan other clans decided to target him, just for the fun of it, or to train recruits, stripped of his weapons and equipment he used the gun they forced him to keep on his exile. In a short time he became quite skilled with it and decided to upgrade his gear. He started Free Lancing using a mixture of his Ninpo and his Gunmanship to do almost impossible missions. He was recruited to be one of the Weapon Masters in Inazuma soon after pulling off the assassination of the Minister of Economy in Japan.
He is a master gunslinger, usually carrying a customized rifle that allows multiple different pellets. He also carries a Beam Sword he took from one of his victims bodyguards, a exquisite piece of technology that serves wonders when things get up close and personal. Kurogane can be described as strangely cheerful, considering his line of job and his past, he tends to make good relations with the students, even if the Older Teachers hate him, for similar reasons to why they hate Kenmei. He is known across the school for his sweet tooth, another rebellion against his clan that prohibited any kind of sweets.
Yoshinori Kurosawa
One of the few theorical teachers that knows martial arts, he teaches History of Warfare for several Classes and also handles the joint tutelage of Class L alongside Garo. Yoshinori is a man of wealth and tradition, coming from a long line of Samurai, even if the title was stripped from his family at the dawn of the Meiji age, more than 100 years ago. He is a master of the Spear Style Chokyori Soujutsu (Long Range Spear) Specialized in increasing the range of close combat attacks with clever techniques. He may not be as strong as Garo, but he serves as the perfect counterpoint to the archer, that is 90% experience 10% knowledge, while Yoshinori is more akin to theory than practice. Still he may look old, but he can be quite deadly in battle. He has a skill that nobody else has, he is the only one who can drink anybody in the school under the table, even non-humans.
Installations
The Inazuma Gakuen haves a large terrain, with many climates, albeit some forced artificially in domes. There are many buildings; the main building where most of the administrative labors and theory classes are done. The Dojo, a massive building divided in several dozen rooms for practical classes. The Gym outfitted with the latest in training technology and constantly updated. The Armory, home of almost any kind of weapon in the world and newer versions with more refinement thanks to superior technology. The Library holds almost any book about combat or fighting styles ever written with abundant digital copies. The Campus haves several housing buildings for the students and the workers, with some cinemas, cafes, clothing shops and other places of entertainment.
There are some places off limits for most of the student body, the 4 Cardinal Temples are the place of learning for the 5 and 6 years and immediate expulsion is the punishment for those of lower years that try to enter any of this places. There is also the underground Inazuma Style testing ground, in which the main research of the style is held; only people working on the project can access this zone. Each Student, Worker and Teacher holds an electronic bracelet that opens doors and informs them about being in prohibited areas if they get lost. The Bracelet also holds inside a GPS beacon to follow the movements of the students inside the school terrains so they can keep an eye on them and help them avoid problems.
Rules
The school works under a simple set of rules that the Disciplinary committee president, handpicked by the Student Body President enforces the rules with the authority granted by the school. The list is quite short but covers all the important points.

Current Students1st Year
Class K
Dranten comes from a wartorn country in Eastern Europe, a subject of intense coverups due to using robots in warfare. Wounded as a child, large parts of Dranten’s body, including much of his brain, were replaced with parts of war machines by Ludomir Malvus. Fearing the creature he created as it began to reach puberty, the roboticist sent him to learn some self-control and social skills in Inazuma. His fighting style focuses mostly on his speed and ability to move in an environment with the small boosters on his arms, which also grant him an enhanced punch.
Dranten is very stunted emotionally and socially, thinking mostly like a war machine. While he has a mind made for battle, giving him an analytical edge, he is inflexible, being thrown off by “irrational” tactics and unorthodox techniques.
Dranten's signature is unnamed, as he doesn't care about such things, but it is visually striking. His hands can detach from his arms and fly on their rockets for a punch, to restrain his opponents, or remove something from the battlefield.
Marceline is a doll, the creation of the mad seamstress Marika. Her powers don't lend themselves well to her style. She grows stronger with pain but would rather not feel it, using sneaky attacks and her ability to increase pain to get openings for devastating bat swings, or whatever improvised weapon she gets her hands on. Her small size causes some to underestimate her, and that suits her just fine. It makes it easier to kneecap them.
Marceline is a cynical young woman with an odd attraction to girly things despite her attitude. After constant abuse from Marika, she tends to be compliant with authority out of fear of reprisal, even as she remains bitter and unpleasant with most other people. The constant pain in her oversized eye causes her to seek out drugs to soothe herself, even briefly, although she knows she can't get away with it for long and is attempting to wean herself off.
Her signature move is still a work in progress, and she's not one to name attacks. Currently, it consists of bringing somebody to their knees by hitting the back of their legs before smashing them in the side of the head with the bat.
Ava is a 13 year old from Iran, quite unique in her parentage. Her mother is human, her father a beauty obsessed manticore. Tanking the shape of a human man allowed him to impregnate her mother with her and an older sister. While her sister got brilliant blue eyes, a gorgeous voice, and feline grace, she was cursed with a deformed face below her nose, with a mouth filled with a tiny, pointed sandpaper tongue and three rows of teeth. Due to her inhuman ancestry, Ava can leap nearly 40 meters with some effort and has retractable claws. She uses these in her style, liking to poison her claws to inflict wounds, then keep out of the way until the poison takes hold.
Being the less favored child because of her deformity, she grew up obsessed with vanity and jealousy. Despite these flaws, she tries to keep all the best parts of her Islamic upbringing intact, especially the emphasis on charity.
Ava can tap into a slight bit of power from MOG to summon a venomous needle she can use on her foes in their pressure points, usually freezing a limb. She calls this trick the Pin-down.
Daughter of an ex-cop who was paralyzed in the line of duty. She always looked up to her father, wanting to be a policewoman when she grew. After discovering her ability to create anything she wanted and making a device that would let her use that ability whenever she wanted, she became a vigilante. However, the self-defense training her father gave her isn't enough so she decided to use some money her grandfather left her to fly to Japan and join Inazuma to learn how to fight properly.
She is a caring person with a strong sense of justice, although she hides her emotions behind a stoic mask. She is also very diligent and hard working and hopes to finish her schooling in Inazuma as soon as possible.
She doesn't have a special move since her philosophy is to keep it simple and effective. Aim, shoot and hope it dies.
Pitch is a 16 year old from America. She is an Unranked Spirit Boxer, as she recently lost the 100 Rank after fighting against a stronger opponent. She is brash, impulsive and dislikes everybody, incapable to letting her guard down. She was born and raised in Detroit streets, homeless and penniless her mother planned to sell her as a prostitute but she was saved by a former pro boxer living in the streets. He trained her and used some of his contacts to get her out of the city after she started a fight against a gang. He died protecting her as she was taken to a foster family in San Francisco. He didn’t teach her just to box, but also the rudiments of Spirit Boxing. Pitch joined the Federation and discovered that she had an older brother and that he was a ranked fighter. He won’t even talk to her until she reached his level. After losing to Gen Shishioh in the Golden Gate Bridge she investigated his background and discovered Inazuma Gakuen, managing to get through the exam.
Pitch has a high opinion of herself and can be quite childish at times, especially if she is winning a fight, she will never shy from taunting or insulting the opponent, to the point you could already consider her a world class taunter.
Her signature move is a powerful uppercut called Updraft Shot, she is a natural Speed-Type Spirit Boxer.
Son of Yakuza, Great-Grandson of Samurai, Tsuyoi embodies the spirit of warriors long forgotten on his natal country. Tsuyoi Bancho is what could be called a natural, he trains and learns, but his skills in combat are almost inherited, intuitive to his body and mind, he is a prodigy through an through almost breed to be a warrior in a time that shuns them. Tsuyoi is inhumanly strong, capable of bench pressing tanks, amazingly resilient; he can take bullets without Ki-Reinforcing and is highly skilled in Karate and Judo. His speed is lacking, but he compensates with sheer unstoppable willpower and stamina. Still many think he is a mindless brute, when truly he embodies the warrior spirit of Japan, even the meditative side of it, being a young man of reflections and wisdom, behind all that muscle. He already did a full year in Inazuma and the only reason he didn’t pass the exam was that he accidentally killed his opponent in the exams, the pull of his family and the accidental nature of the kill helped him avoid being kicked out the school.
Tsuyoi is stoic and silent, rarely speaking and when he does he uses archaic speech. He was greatly shaken by killing a fellow student and greatly holds back in fights. His sole island of comfort is his girlfriend, Bathilda Berg, who is in 1st Year Class L.
His signature move is Otoko Kuchiku-kan, a powerful bone shattering Bear Hug – Suplex – Full Body Slam
The heir to a famous Iaijutsu family, Wyatt (who rejects his given name) should be a master swordsman, but his half-blooded status pushed him out of the succession in favor of his younger step brother. When he tried to protest as he was near the age to inherit and he practiced all his life under his father strict orders, never failing. His father partially pressured by his new wife exiled him from the household and Wyatt decided to pawn the sword he cherished and used the money to travel towards his maternal grandfather household in South California. There he picked a new skill, the use of revolvers. The fast movements of Iai combined with gunslinger skills turned his quick draw into world class level, even without the assistance of Ki or other energies. His grandfather calls the “Ki” Focus, and through it Wyatt enhances his speed, the power of his bullets and his reflexes. He is incredibly fast, but can’t take much of a beating, at least a Hidden World one.
Wyatt is fast talking and a world class womanizer, yet all this bravado and charm hides the scars of the rejection from his father and his family, he only wants to fit in the group and will always try to soften up any conflicts. He, as many others in Inazuma, has the hots for Laura Tatsumaki from 3rd Year
His signature move is Pacific Express Senpuu, a quick draw of six bullets in perfect line, with each bullet clashing against the last like a train multiplying the piercing power of the first bullet six fold.
An Italian Street Fighter with innate skills and reflexes. She has photographic reflexes, allowing her to copy anything she sees, an extremely useful skill in a school filled with martial artist, yet she doesn’t use it emulate his colleagues skills but she uses them to copy the moves of the Kamen Rider Franchise. She is a total fangirl of the franchise and uses her natural athleticism to bring into reality the techniques of the fictional show to the point she wants to be called “Ryo Minami” by others, a composite of two of her favorite characters in the franchise. She was discovered by one of the Inazuma recruiters through a viral video. They want to turn her into a martial sponge, but she flat out refuses to do anything but perfect her Rider Based style of fighting.
She is upbeat, friendly and lawful good beyond reason. She will fight for justice, love and peace against any force she perceives evil, she will never resort to cheap moves nor behave in a criminal manner.
Her signature move is the Black Heel Claw, a powerful axe kick that thanks to her perfect copy and Ki usage is quite destructive. She is interested in learning more about weapons during her stay in Inazuma.
A Chinese teenager from a long line of martial artist, a hard working fighter that trains constantly to the point she carries a weighted armor all the time. His father, Liu Jian, wanted a son, but he ended up getting Niu whose mother died in childbirth. Being the sole heir to a strict and traditionalist father Niu had it rough from her youngest years, yet she persisted, training with fervor and passion, almost to the point of fanatism, without caring for her own personal welfare. She carries almost 300 kgs in weighted armor over her body at all times, and increases the weight while training. Her sole purpose in life isn’t gain the respect of his father, but show to him that her mother didn’t die a “failure” as her father always seems to put it. She is well versed in several styles of Kung Fu, not a master in any and has a good basic understanding of Chi.
She is not in Inazuma to make friends and the only way to get her attention is either defeating him in any field or training with her. She is a perfectionist and has some obsessive compulsive tendencies here and there.
She lacks a “signature move” as she considers the whole concept of special techniques a waste of time, her basic skills are polished beyond measure, almost above the level of apprentices.
Rei Takayama, Zero to his friends, is Garo Takayama’s only son and heir to the Ten no Ya Ryu from his father and the Yamabushi Kodachi Ryu from his mother. He is a rebellious youth that dislikes the way both his parents treat him, as each of them try to lure him towards their side so he can become the heir to their styles. He plays both sides and tried to get more freedom, but everything changed when his father surrendered his pursuit and Rei ended up being the heir to his mother. Still he uses both the Bow and the Kodachi with expertise. He might not have a lot of proficiency in Ki, but he is the best weapon user in the class by far, almost at an advanced level with two very polished and ancient styles.
Rei is an aloof and distant guy, he dislikes crowds and likes the silence of the middle of the forest, something inherited from his father and reinforced by their periodical hunting trips, something he misses after his Garo capitulated in the war with his mother for his affection.
His signature moves are “Kami Hohaba” The traditional footwork technique of his father’s archery style and the “Senzan” Kodachi technique, a multi-slash combo without a discernible pattern.
Genius mechanic and driver, Jirou got the attention of the recruiters after he defeated an advanced Hidden World Martial Artist with a car. From a young age he loved assembling and disassembling machines and he was quite good at it. He can amp up any kind of vehicle to higher efficiency and performance with ease, even with sub-par pieces. His reflexes while driving are inhuman and he has an instinctual understanding of physics while driving, knowing how to exert the most power in each crash without breaking his vehicle. His basic vehicle is a souped up Honda NM4 with highly advanced reinforcement, increased performance and some secret weapons here and there. He calls it Skull Chaser.
He is a weird guy, mostly focused on machines than people. His aspect can be off-putting at first, but if you get to know him he is a very pleasant guy. Never insult his work, he doesn’t take kindly criticism about his sense of aesthetics or his designs. That is his sole berserker button.
His Signature move, if you can call it that, is Dead End Impact, in which he turns on a mysterious device on his motorcycle that uses energy absorbed from the attacks of the opponent to coat the vehicle in energy. He basically rams you with your strength added to his motorcycle.

Shin Akiyama Mizukara
As member of the isolated Mizukara Clan, Shin does not know anything about the modern world, but that doesn’t stop him from engaging everything and everyone new to him head on with his typical goofy self….at least for the most part.

He doesn’t seem to care about getting into higher classes as oppose to just enjoying being in an environment that can challenge him.
His typical fighting style is rather undefinable for the most part as it is not known to the world, but any expect on older Japanese martial arts could notice that some of his techniques matches some of the greatest ancient fighting styles of Japanese history. Yet, it is not only his fighting style that is unique, but his sheer raw talent with the sword and immense potential.

Class M
Reiko Tokugami
The only heir to the Tokugami Ninpo Ryu, a Ninjitsu style from Kansai. She tends to be quite open, even sometimes too open about her family activities, turning her into sort of a pariah, as many people don’t have the stomach to hear her talk about the exploits of her family and her style that is quite gruesome. Reiko is a very friendly person and if you can ignore the horrible and life scarring tales of the missions of her family she can be a very good friend. Is quite the contrast to meet a master of a style focused on gutting the enemy and removing their internal organs by hand to be so nice and cute most of the time. She is a bit of a ditz and clumsy, yet she is quite the fighter.
Lei Sheng “Wallaby” Conroy
Australian/Chinese Teen with a personal style based upon his personal experience and a forgotten kick only style from Chinese Kung Fu. His nickname comes from his preference for kicks and his accent when talking English. He was orphaned at a young age and ended up inheriting his parents fortune, still he didn’t care a lot about that as he spend most of his youth on the streets or the outback. He is a genius and his kicks are 4 or 5 Year Level, capable of shattering steel. Under guidance from one of the teachers (Kenmei Fukitsuna) he currently wears weighted bracelets and leg bands, to increase his powers. He is easy going and laid-back, not caring too much about anything but always excelling, the sign of a True Genius.

Keiji Nakahara
Keiji is the last person one would expect to be attending Inazuma, he is weaker than most students let alone kids his own age, he is a master of speed, nor is he a martial arts expert in the least bit. Keiji lacks or is below advantage in most skills one would expect to be attending Inazuma, however he does possess one quality that for exceeds the other students an unbreakable determination. No matter how hard Keiji is knocked down he never quits or gives ups, despite being bully nearly all his life he has never backed down and while most of the times he gets beat up he at least his courage and pride are intact. Despite lacking overall ability it’s this determination and a hidden well of potential that got Keiji into the school.
The clumsy, shy, and often gullible teen also possess something that not even he currently knows about, within Keiji’s body is the spirit of one of the greatest Martial Artist who walked this earth the spirit saw the potential in the young man and his unbridled courage and has taken residents in him. In times of great peril the spirit can temporarily take control of the host and unleash a sliver of a faction of its god like fighting ability. However because Keiji body can’t handle the strain of performing this impressive feats and even after a minute the spirit must let go or risk permanent damage to the host.
Alicia Weston
Alicia is second in line to the Weston Family name and company Weston Munitions, one of the world’s largest gun and Munitions Company, behind her brother Roy. Weston Munitions actually holds a contract with Inazuma providing the school with ammo and some guns for its armory. Similar to Roy Alicia was tutored, taught, and trained to be lead the Weston family should anything befall her older brother. However Roy and Alicia are two different creatures, Roy is a prodigy and was sheltered most of his life while Alicia is nowhere near the level of her brother and she was for the most part a spoiled child. Being Daddy’s Little Princess has several benefits including almost always getting her father to give her whatever she asked for with a pair of sweet eyes and few “pwetty pweases”. Alicia also has fan like obsession towards American Bounty Hunter, Crow Cementerio, Alicia claims she is Crow’s #1 Fan and the President (and only member of the Crow Cementerio Fan Club).
This idolization is what has driven the Bullet Princess to Inazuma in the first place, Alicia dream is to one day meet her idol and defeat him in a shootout (or as she has stated “Pump him for of lead”). This cause of this obsession is yet unknown. Alicia spoiled childhood has made her into somewhat of a brat she is loud, obnoxious, and short tempered when not getting her way even going as far as getting violent with people. She rarely cares for learning someone name and instead always gives them a nickname that she refers to them as (most of the time this are demeaning). Despite her size she is capable of holding her own against most foes, Alicia wields two custom made Weston .45 Scarlet Hawk handguns a surprising heavy pair of guns for such a young girl. Unlike her idol Crow and her brother Roy Alicia tends to prefer firepower over accuracy. Her catch phrase is “I’ll pump you full of lead!”

Katsuo Sakurai
3rd Year
Laura TatsumakiHalf Brazilian/ Half Japanese mixed martial artist, centering on submissions and kicks, combining Brazilian Jujitsu and Capoeira in a deadly high-flying submission style that to the untrained eye seems like Lucha Libre (Mexican High Flying Wrestling) But the quality of the movements is different, when fighting she turns into a tornado of destruction, managing several different types of locks and throws from a mid-air stance. She is quite popular thanks to her skill, but mostly thanks to her behavior, a bit less formal than other students, not to mention her preference for lighter clothing. She is also known for her immense appetite, being one of the biggest eaters in Campus.
Karasu
Member of an Ainu Clan, Karasu was born with talent to fight, he is inhumanly strong, fast and durable, yet he is a pacifist by nature and tries to avoid fighting. Still he came here not to learn how to increase his might, but to control it, as his powers are a danger to others. He specializes in locks and non-lethal takedowns. He wears restrictive gear that blocks part of his strength, so he avoids killing people. Yet his talent to fight comes from a supernatural force a Demon that uses him as a host. In times of great duress the demon takes hold of his body and destroys anything in its path. The Demon proclaims himself Ryoshi and he uses Karasu’s strength to the limit.
Koi-Koi
A mysterious teen that suddenly popped up in the School entrance, he cannot talk a word but “Koi-Koi”. His equally mysterious style emulates the movement of fish, being capable of undulating his body through the battlefield avoiding strikes and locks with a slippery aura of Ki. He is almost at Master Level when it comes to Ki Manipulation, capable of altering the density, color or texture of his Ki according to his wishes. He should be on a higher Year, yet his sometimes eccentric demeanor and his inability to read and write had stopped him thanks to the horrible results this flaws cause in his written exams
Alice Yukimura
USA/Japanese student of Aikido, she is almost in master level when it comes to skill but her father insisted that she would assist to the school, to further improve her own skills and to prove the power of her family Aikido Style, that until recent years was covered in shame by the actions of her father, that lost a match against a female boxer of North America, that ended up being Alice’s mother. Alice is split in between her mother more warm and hot-blooded personality and his father calculating and cold demeanor. She seems calm and composed most of the time, but her mother genes can suddenly pop up from time to time, creating two different fighting styles that she cannot blend into one as they are mostly incompatible. She is strong and haves the basis to become a Spirit Boxer, but his father hateful and spiteful words against her mother got to her and she dislikes the idea. Thus she hates Gen.
Yuriko Kazegawa
Heir of the Kazegawa Conglomerate, a massive enterprise that holds most of the crops in Japan under their farmlands and currently own 90% of the Beef market in Japan, she inherited from his grandfather the Kazegawa Kobushijustu techinques, an ancient Martial Art with influences from Kenpou, Karate, Kung Fu and many others trying to become specialist on fist fighting. She may look like the classical Ojou, but she is brash, impulsive and hot-blooded, think of her as female traditionalist Gen. She was already planning to appear here as she knows Rin from the school, but she changed to Inazuma to further develop his skills leaving the Conglomerate to her younger brother, that haves a head for numbers. Her style uses every possible type of strike with the hands, in combination, in fusion and in combos.
Inui "Mach Fist" Daimonji (MEMBER OF "THE HIIRO NO CHII" SENTO NO HAN)
One of the so called Speed Prodigies in the school he already moved at sound speed 10 years ago and from that point on he only increased his speed. He comes from a family of martial artist, all under the Chisoku Tenken Ryu a karate style that puts speed over any other trait. But his specialization comes to a price, he cannot have much muscle so his attacks are quite flimsy compared to others fighters, so is his durability, but to prove that weakness you first need to catch him and his trademark Ryutai Undo Sanpo (Fluid Motion Walk) allows him to avoid attacks with immense skill and speed, barely seeming to move at all. He may not be able to take a punch, but first you need to punch him.
4th Year
Velvela Gedide
Mauvais Loup
French Exchange student, a practitioner of Savate, one of the top 10 kickers in the School, yet he is stuck on the 3rd Year, not for failing, but for lack of trying, he likes to break the dreams of others, he enjoys breaking other students to the point the need to stop fighting forever, he plans to rush through the last years in a blur, but for the moment he enjoys kicking the shit out of people weaker than him. He haves bad reputation among students and teachers, thanks to his sadistic demeanor. He is keep on tight watch, as the teachers believe he can fall to the Path of the Demon, where the fighters just fight for bloodlust rather than enhancing themselves or protecting others.
Nusumi Himitsu
The heir to the Senkou Clan Ninpo, a master of stealth, the president of the School newspaper, a World Class Pervert, this and many more statements could describe Nusumi Himitsu. Generally known as one of the stealthiest members of the student body, ranking 3 according to the teachers, Nusumi popularity is two sided, famous with the men as he gets the best pictures and infamous to the women as they are the unwilling models of those photos. Nusumi is one of the students the teachers call “Genkai” as he reached his “limit” and unless there is a major shift in the upper years he would be incapable of reaching 5 Year. Still he cares not for that, but he cares to get the best pictures, considering them proof enough of his stealth abilities. His current targets include some newcomers as Raisa and the Imperial Soldiers and some of the most difficult targets in the school, people from the 6 Year.
Alois "Shuryo" Desperaux (LEADER OF THE "HIIRO NO CHII" SENTO NO HAN)
French-American kickboxer of uncanny speed, strength and durability, yet his strongest assets are his charisma, as he created one of the strongest Sento no Han in a record time and his mysterious technique only known as "THE END" that coined his nickname Shuryo, some say is a punch, others say is a kick, but it could really be something stranger. He is cold, cool and imposing, his size puts him a bit over the average height on the school and the aura around him makes him look even bigger. He was allowed to stay on the school even after killing another students as it was in self defense, that makes him one sinister yet intriguing character. He isnt fond of people weaker than him, but he doesnt bullies people. He is forcefully stopped his meteoric advancement through the classes to win this year Sento no Han battle Royale, that he lost at the hands of the Kinkishi Sento no Han last year.
6th Year
Not much is known about the 6 Year students, most of them are in secluded training or in practical trips with mentors. What is known is their organization, it exists a hierarchy between them, with one over all the others, 4 under him but over the others and the rest as a single class.
The Top Student is called “Tensai”, this position may be challenged only for the 4 elite “Saikoho” and any of the 6 years can challenge any of the “Saikoho” in fights which rules exists since the beginning of the school. Each “Saikoho” represents a virtue of a warrior.
Saino Saikoho is the Pinnacle of Talent
Iryoku Saikoho is the Pinnacle of Might
Jurodo Saikoho is the Pinnacle of Hard Work
Keimo Saikoho is the Pinnacle of Enlightenment
The Tensai represent the balance of the 4 concepts in a single warrior, many of the Tensai are much more powerful than any of the regular teachers and mentors must be recruited to teach them.
