MINT Name: Mint RL: Blade E-mail: kumonryuu@hotmail.com AIM: Kiima ----- RANK & TRAITS Rank: 8 --- Attributes Agile Fast+ Loyal Fragile --- Skills Martial Arts Swordsmanship ----- ATTITUDE Style: His style is a Musk swordfighting technique that vaguely resembles Kung Fu sword styles and depends on his superior, inhumanly fast speed. The style involves repeated intricate combinations and fast strikes with the user closing in and sticking to their opponent like glue, not giving them a chance to evade or counterattack if at all possible. --- Methods: Mint does what Incense tells him to. As her appointed guardian he follows her orders to attack or withdraw without question. He likes to play melodramatically with his opponents and lets himself get drawn into verbal duels before and during the fighting. Once the combat truly starts he is like a relentless wind, driving towards his opponent and attacking until they go down. He dodges so fast he can usually do it without missing a beat against most opponents. ----- SPECIALS Advantages: Standard Martial Arts Abilities. Mint is fast. Mint is very fast. Mint is so fast that he makes even some of the fastest fighters in GRIT seem like they're standing still in comparison. Mint can move fast enough to seem to teleport from position to position and run at a significant fraction of lightspeed through the atmosphere. The only limit to how fast he can move is that he can not break lightspeed, though going at a very high percentage of it will tire even him. Mint's sword is finely honed enough to cut through even the strongest materials and withstand the great stress he puts it under in combat. In melee it gives him a reach advantage over most fighters. Mint has a virtually unlimited supply of throwing spikes/daggers. These tiny weapons are shaped like fluted diamonds, and he can throw them with enough force to pierce several foot thick military-grade armor. Mint has matured and is over his breast fetish. --- Disadvantages: Mint is loyal to Incense and will do whatever she asks him to, including fighting opponents he isn't well equipped to fight, or in ways that put him at a disadvantage. Mint isn't as good on the defensive as he is on the offensive. His defense is mainly dodges but he concentrates so much on simply not giving his opponent an opportunity to attack that he can't perform a solid dedicated defence very well. Mint can't take a hit as well as some of his similarly ranked fellows. --- Techniques Roga Ryusei Dan (Wolf Fang Shooting Star Bullets) Mint's only real technique, he sends out a flurry of knives so fast that they literally fill the air with a wall of sharp, high velocity metal shards capable of punching holes in battleship's armor. He likes using this to pin opponents to walls or similar hard surfaces, where they will (hopefully) be slowed down to the point where he can deliver an even more devastating strike.
