Name of Fighting Style:[/font][/size] Hamon (Ripple)
Type of Style[/font][/size] Fists.
Description of Style:[/font][/size] Hamon • [波紋 - Ripple / Ring on the Water]
The Martial art taught to Katten by Gabriel, this is the skill of conducting one's own energy through other objects and even the air and water, basically allowing them to manipulate their surroundings to a degree. For an example, when the user throws a punch with the Hamon the energy is released and conducts through the air and explodes into a shock wave, expanding their fighting ability up to roughly forty to fifty yards. The Hamon was influenced by a stone being thrown into a lake and creating ripples. When techniques are preformed usually ripples are always preformed before hand - as such, Katten's ripples are in the form of a star. Items that have the Hamon conducted will increase in density and/or hardness, and is unlike Haki which uses an "invisible armor" since the items in question can still be damaged. For example, he can change the density of cigarette smoke so he could actually grab it. The Hamon can actually be used to improve qualities of the body, usually with "Kairyougata no-" meaning "Improved Version."

Hamon uses and depends on the vital energy of the user, requiring stamina and strength to use. Therefore, training is usually done beforehand to enhance stamina and endurance. Over doing performance of Hamon can cause exhaustion. Hamon is also a fighting style that depends on the user, whether they prefer kicks or punches. Katten himself prefers punches, elbow jabs, knee strikes, and kicks to both attack and defend - then again, Katten's doesn't normally hold a fighting stance but to just raise his fist and spread his legs apart.

Moves:[/font][/size]

[/u] • [天涯拳 - Tengaiken / or Horizon Fist ]
Katten utilizes the Hamon through his fist and conducts it through the air before him in a punch, sending the energy out before him in the form of ripples that take the shape of a golden star. The ripples cause a shock wave, transferring a physical blow into a long range one by conducting it through the air via the Hamon. With Katten's physical strength the punch is absolutely devastating, capable of sending a grown man flying and punch through solid stone (even punching clean holes through several stone walls). It is Katten's signature technique.

Outer Ripple • [外側波紋 - Sotogawa Hamon ]
Similar to Skyline Fist, the Outer Ripple is used to strike at foes through an object while leaving the object in question completely unharmed, transferring the impact beyond the object struck. For example, if Katten would to punch a wall using the Outer Ripple the impact would turn into a shock wave beyond the other side of the wall, striking whomever or whatever is beyond it. This occurs because Katten conducts the energy from his impact through the wall. When Katten strikes the object in question golden ripples in the shape of a star appear. He can even do this to people.

[/u] • [外側波紋 - 上昇拳 - Sotogawa Hamon - Joushou Ken ]
Instead of conducting the Outer Ripple through objects Katten conducts it through the surrounding air. Katten punches upward and releases the ripples all around him, causing a shock wave that strikes everything around him in a perfect radius and then goes upward, similar to a volcano. Whatever is above the user is struck as well. It's a powerful technique, but should be used when allies are among battle nearby, but that's only for the outer shock wave. Katten can use it just fine as an uppercut. [/ul]

The Improved Canon • [改良型 の カノン - Kairyougata no Kanon]
The improved fist is simply a wrecking ball of a hammer. When Katten's intense fist won't prove to deal enough damage, the Kairyougata no Kanon will. Katten focuses the Hamon into either arm, a ripple ring flowing throughout the entire arm and ends at his fist with a golden flame-like aura flowing from his forearm and fist. This hardens the bones of the arm for increased striking power. This also tightens the muscles, thus improving the speed of his arm considerably. The flame itself isn't hot or anything, but simply the result of preforming the Kairyougata no Kanon, and in a sense, the manifestation of his own vital energy. The destructive power of his punch increases in folds, and the impact itself is capable of demolishing most things with sheer force alone, hence the name Improved Fist. Usually a shine would occur when the fist makes contact.

The Improved Canon takes a considerable amount of stamina, however. The arm would be damaged after repeated uses, unless he improves in his control of the technique.(3 post cooldown after each use)

[/u] • [波紋チャップ - Hamon Chappu]
With the Improved Canon Katten can turn a hand chop into a sword. The power is outstanding, capable of breaking through thick steel and several steel plates. Quicker than a punch, if someone were to be struck by the Ripple Chop they'd be sent soaring for yards. It's sometimes simply called the Hamon Chop.

Ripple Claw • [波紋鉤爪 [/size][/color] - Hamon Kagizume]
Whether it's a palm strike or a claw, with the Improved Canon heightening Katten's striking power he can send someone flying through a thick tree with overwhelming force. It also doubles as a blast of compressed air, acting similar to a canon ball. With his flame aura, it would appear something similar to a energy blast. With all of Katten's might, he can send a ship flying out the water.

Ripple Destroyer • [波紋 デストロイヤ - Hamon Desutoroiya]
To simply put it, it's Ripple Claw with two hands instead of one. Katten will shoot both palms out forward, creating a devastating attack that's a powerful shockwave with shards of his flame-like golden aura, making it somewhat similar to a air tunnel. This attack is always done with all of Katten's physical power, working every muscle of the body, usually making him exhausted by the time this attack is done. But its well worth it, capable of punching clean through several walls and continue to speed off the island. Normally a finishing attack.(4 post cooldown)
[/ul]

The Improved Machine Gun • [改良型 の マシンガン - Kairyougata no Mashingan]
Basically, with the Improved Canon, Katten begins to rapidly attack his opponent with a barrage of fist. Even to the experienced, his fist would appear as if they were many. He's capable of striking dozens of targets with great accuracy with this technique, and with the power of the Improved Canon behind its speed makes it one of his signature attack.

The Improved Jump Start • [改良型 の ジャンプ スタート - Kairyougata no Janpu Sutaato]
Much like the Improved Canon, this improved either a leg, or both legs. With this, the same golden flame aura will flow from his foreleg, increasing the power of his legs in folds. He can jump higher and run faster, and with this boost his dashing increases in sheer speed. His kick would have the same effect as the Improved Canon, more destructive since there are bigger and powerful muscles in the legs.

Meteor Shower • [流星雨 - Ryuuseiu]
One of Katten's strongest attacks roughly. Katten outspreads his arms, keeping them relaxed, and spreads his feet apart. The stance is pretty sturdy, and pretty much the starting point of the attack. Katten will begin to let a ripple flow all throughout his body and his body will begin to let loose a white aura. Katten would then take a step forward and then let loose a right punch with multiple star-shaped ripples occurring before him instantly, similar to rain falling into a pond. From each ripple-star shoots a Skyline Fist, making the technique similar to a machine gun or a gatling gun, causing immense damage in an instant. While there's a radius where the attack can be avoided, once caught it’s unlikely that one would escape the onslaught without keen reflexes.(4 post cooldown)

Surface Tension
The vital energy of ripple energy conducts perfectly well with liquids, allowing Katten to manipulate water to a degree. An example is that Katten can activate Hamon through his body and the moment he hits water surface the energy conducts at the surface, causing a ripple and increasing the water tension wherever Katten steps or happens to land on. This basically allows Katten to walk on water or any other liquid, acting as if a lake or ocean were land. This extends to his ability to magnify the density or hardness of an item, but water is a totally different story. [/ul]

Strengths:[/font][/size] Strengths of this fighting style are devastating attacks that can cause a lot of damage and excellent technique when performing moves.
Weaknesses:[/font][/size] Weaknesses of the style are overexertion with the attacks. The user has to have a lot of stamina and energy to preform theses attacks. Overusing them while tired or fatigued can lead to injury.

[Admiral Hakutori]

Name of Character:

[/font][/size] Hakutori
Name of Fighting Style:[/font][/size]Gurenryuu
Type of Style[/font][/size] Two Sword Style
Description of Style:[/font][/size] Gurenryuu [ 紅蓮流 ; Crimson Lotus Flower Style]
The Gurenryuu is a swords style passed down from generations of Katten' family line, specifically designed for killing. This is turning an ordinary sword swing into something stronger through a velocity spin. The secret to these velocity empowered techniques go down more to working the muscle, most notably the arm muscles, hand, and finger muscles. The energy produced from the velocity can be also be maintained through practice, and since velocity with force means more power, Katten can literately multiply the force of his own physical attacks.

Moves:[/font][/size]

[/u] [ 紅蓮;サンライズ シミラ Guren; Sanraizu Shimura]
The technique that turns the simple into devastating. By spinning the weapon in question at a high speed, the weapon changes color into a glowing blue with steam escaping from it when the spinning is done. The more the spin, the more the power. From the velocity, force is added to the weapon, giving it much more power. This lays out the ground plan for many of Katten' more destructive techniques.[/ul]

Machina; Heaven and Earth
Techniques used with both swords, Heaven and Earth, displaying a great balance in power, resulting in devastating and fast attacks.

Phoenix Wings [ 鵬翼 Houyoku ]
A direct strike by taking both swords Katten dashes with both Heaven and Earth in his hands and slashes simultaneously at a blinding speed, having enough force to send them soaring through several objects. Usually this technique leaves a cross shaped scar in whatever is struck, normally a wound.

[/u] [ 鵬翼; 炎天下 Houyoku; Entenka ]
Using Crimson Lotus Flower; Sunshine Shimmer to increase the power of Machina the swords ignite into dark orange flames with Katten spreading them upward similar to wings. The flames even shape into wings, and Katten preforms Houyoku, giving it more power and capable of causing mass destruction. The slash itself leaves burning hot flames wherever is slashed in the shape of a cross. A larger scale version is an explosion in the shape of a blue cross.
[/ul]

Bullet Storm [ブレット_ストーム Bureto Sutoomu ]
A pretty cool attack where Katten unloads both Heaven and Earth, letting twelve bullets drop. Immediately, before the bullets could hit the ground, Katten performs a full circle spin with both swords in hand, causing the bullets to surround his in a tornado. Whoever is in the tornado won't only be slashed, but struck by the bullets. This technique can also be done while Katten is shooting both Heaven and Earth, giving it the same effect. It's also strong enough to rip a ship apart as it is pulled into the air. The technique comes in many forms, for that Katten can use himself as a drill to shoot through objects.

Crimson Lotus Flower; Sensational Song [紅蓮; 気味 の 歌  Guren; Kimi no Uta ]
Katten swings his swords and unleashes a glowing blue energy wave in the shape of a cross before it spins and compresses into a single energy projectile. Technically, Katten is using Sunrise Shimmer all in one motion. The force of the projectile can bust straight through several objects, such as a building, before becoming a brilliant blue explosion. The technique can become even stronger by Katten giving it a spinning motion for it to drill through objects.

Machina; Heaven
Using just Heaven, Katten uses quick and accurate techniques for devastating attacks meant to slice his opponents a multitude of times. These are attacks that can be used even if Earth is held in the opposite hand.

One's Last Moment [ 最期  Saigo ]
Katten quickly draws his sword, slashes, then heaths. It's extraordinarily quick, and can be used in a rapid attack before sheathing Heaven. Normally, the last thing his victims would see is his drawing his sword before they're on the ground bleeding.

Cross Roads [クロス_ロード  Kurosu Roodo ]
Katten, while holding Heaven in his hands firmly over his head and awaits for his opponent to make a move. When they come close and within range, Katten swings downward with such force it looks almost instantaneous, slashing at whomever or whatever comes toward his before they can make contact with his.

Crimson Lotus Flower; Sensational Song [紅蓮; 気味 の 歌 Guren; Kimi no Uta ]
Sensational Song can be used with a single sword, but with less power. It becomes a crescent moon shaped blue energy projectile. Even though it has less power than it does with Heaven and Earth, it's sill pretty destructive.

Steel Pecker [スチール_ペッカ  Suchiiru Pekka ]
A powerful attack that strikes several times in a near instant at the opponent that requires powerful arm strength, speed, and accuracy. This multi-quick slash technique's lethal potential isn't within the quickness, which can shock practically any opponents, but the formation of attack which aims at several areas with great organization. Therefore, it's extremely difficult to defend against. The more strikes preform, the more effort needed, the more difficult it is to defend against. The technique is so fast it seems as if it happened in a near instant. The technique got its name from how it seemed as if a woodpecker pecked through solid steel, which is similar to how the technique can cut through steel easily.

Machina; Earth
Using just Earth, Katten heavy and powerful attacks. These are attacks that can be used even if Heaven is held in the opposite hand. These attacks are practically some of his strongest techniques. With Earth's destructive power he can cut through sea stone.

Blooming Crimson Lotus Flower Secret Technique; Great Sensational Song [花紅蓮奥義; 気味 の 大 歌 Hana Guren Ougi; Kimi no Dai Uta ]
The Great Sensational Song is basically a upgraded version of the original. Gripping Earth with both of his hands firmly and over his head he takes aim and then swings with everything he has. A huge torrent of energy will be released before his, capable of covering yards and plowing through whatever is in the way. Usually, he can easily adjust the power should one guard against the Dai Uta. It's practically his strongest long range attack.
