This includes but isn't limited to: deadly knife throwing, cutting carrots uniformly, hand to hand knife fights, juggling knives, being able to say knife several times without it sounding wierd, and making specialized knives. --- Methods: She strives to keep fights as exciting as possible while still fighting gracefully and efficiantly. She can't stand standstills or waiting and will be busily tieing up the beaten bad guys while someone else is still giving their "I will defeat you" speech. ----- SPECIALS Advatages: If she has a knife, she's a force to be reckoned with. She can gouge deep holes in steel walls with a kitchen knife, and pin a wasp to a tree branch a football field away with a dirk. She can even use her knives as a defensive tool as well, spinning them at high speeds to ward off blows that could easily punch through other defenses. Basic Set Of Martial Arts Abilities. --- Disadvatages:Without her knives she's a snowball in hell. She knows how to dodge and occasionally try to hit and thats about it. She's easily a rank 1 when she's like this. If she's even convinced that her weapon isn't really a knife her skills will decrease drasticly, although this also works vice versa. --- Techniques Kuuki Kai(Air Cut) A moderately strong Knife-fu technique, it involves using a mediocre amount of ones Chi to sharpen the blade of a knife to the point where it actually causes a bright blue outline of the blade, due to the air atoms being split briefly when they come in contact with the edge. It allows the user to cut the strongest things with a minimum amount of strength, and is more draining exponentially the longer its held. Hasaki Tate (Edge Sheild) A simple Knife-fu technique where one spins a knife so quickly it has the consistancy of a braced steel disc for about half a second. Used mainly for blocking physical attacks, it can is quite easy to pull off and can be used consecutively with no real side effects. Blow of 1,000 Knives This technique involves striking quickly with twenty or so knives - so quickly, in fact, that it looks like only two knives are striking at the opponent. Tako Ken (Kite Blade) A Knife-fu technique emulating a gust blowing against a kite, the user making a large amount of knives the gust and a group of opponents the kite. Not as damaging as a normal, more accurate attack, this move redeems itself in the ability to hit many people (friends or enemies) at once. Fire or Ice Knives A technique Chochi developed on her own, using hollow crystal throwing knives and explosive phosphorus or 2 freezing chemicals. Its effects are devastating to the normal person and surprising for even a strong martial artist who isn't expecting it. ----------
