| − | | |
| − | Flying Dragon is a celestial martial arts style that dates back to the First
| |
| − | Age. Seen by some sifu as a precursor to Air Dragon Style, this martial arts was
| |
| − | actually developed by a Solar Eclipse Caste as one of a series of elementally
| |
| − | aspected styles for the sole use of Celestial Exalts. Mastery of this style
| |
| − | gives no benefit to Terrestrials that have been initiated into the bulb of the
| |
| − | perfected lotus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This style relies on the speed of the user and on the control of esoteric flows
| |
| − | of Essence around him. Users benefit from the ability to move unhindered by the
| |
| − | enemy and often turn their opponents strengths against them. This Style was
| |
| − | designed for use without armor and is incompatible with any type of armor. It
| |
| − | was also designed for use bare-handed, though users may choose to weild Wind
| |
| − | Fire Wheels as a signature weapon of the style.

| − | The martial artist strikes a balance between the force of the wind dragon
| |
| − | pulling him into the sky, and the claws of the earth dragon pulling him to the
| |
| − | ground. For a single turn, your leaping distance is equal to your permanent
| |
| − | Essence x 10 yards. This Charm is incompatible with other Charms that increase
| |

| − | By filling his body with the Essence of the wind the character can propel
| |
| − | himself across the battlefield like a wind blown leaf. This Charm may be
| |
| − | activated after any unarmed attack or dodge the character makes that scores at
| |
| − | least one success. He may instantly leap up to his Essence + Dexterity in yards,
| |
| − | propelling himself with the force of his blow. This movement may be in any
| |
| − | direction and may specifically exceed the characters usual maximum movement
| |
| − | allowance. Watching two master of this Charm engage in combat can be unnerving,
| |
| − | as they seem to hover or flit about the air for long moments before coming to
| |
| − | the ground.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The character makes a single unarmed attack, his attack seeking out a weakness
| |
| − | in the opponents armor with supernatural alacrity. Masters of this art often
| |
| − | strike multiple times, hitting all the opponents weak points in a single flurry
| |
| − | of nearly invisible strikes. When used, this Charm reduces the opponents base
| |
| − | Bashing or Lethal soak by an amount equal to the character's Martial Arts score.

| − | The character performs a short kata, attuning his body to the breath of the wind
| |
| − | and of all his opponents. The character's moves become as fast and undetectable
| |
| − | as the flying wind. For the rest of the scene, opponents subtract a number of
| |
| − | dice from all attack rolls they make versus the martial artists attacks equal to
| |
| − | the characters Martial Arts score. Additionally the martial artists strikes so
| |
| − | fast he can distort the flow of Essence with his touch. For the duration of this
| |
| − | Charm the characters blows can effect dematerialized spirits as if they were
| |
| − | material. This grants no special ability to see dematerial beings, however.

| |
| − | <b>Min Essence:</b> 2
| |
| − | <b>Prereqs:</b> Flying Dragon Form
| |
| − | | |
| − | This charm is named for its bizarre training methodology, in which the martial
| |
| − | artist places objects in a roaring bonfire and snatches them free wihtout
| |
| − | burning his hands. This emulates the air dragon reaching into the maw of his
| |
| − | southern brother and snatching his fangs away. At the same time, this attack is
| |
| − | equallt devestating to the opponent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When used the character purchases a number of Extra Attacks against the opponent
| |
| − | for 4 motes each. He may purchase no more then his Martial Arts in extra
| |
| − | attacks. Roll each attack seperately but the opponent applies his defense only
| |
| − | once, using any successes he achieves against the first attack to also reduce
| |
| − | any subsequent attacks.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, instead of applying the damage from each attack seperatly, total up the
| |
| − | number of successes acheived in all the attacks made this turn and add them
| |
| − | together, applying them all at once as if they were the successes of a single
| |
| − | attack.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The character imitates the coils of the air dragon, moving with sinuous grace
| |
| − | and avoiding all attacks against him with ease, while leading his opponent into
| |
| − | the perfect position for a devestating counter-attack. This charm may be evoked
| |
| − | whenever you attempt to dodge an attack. If successful you may immediatly make
| |
| − | an unarmed counter-attack at your full Dexterity + Martial Arts with a number of
| |
| − | bonus dice on the roll equal to the number of successes you scored above the
| |
| − | minimum needed to evade your opponents attack. This charm may not be used in
| |
| − | response to any other counterattack Charm.

| − | <b><i>Heart Of Ice</b></i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Cost:</b> 2 motes, 1 Willpower
| |
| − | <b>Duration:</b> Martial Arts in turns
| |
| − | <b>Type:</b> Simple
| |
| − | <b>Min. Martial Arts:</b> 4
| |
| − | <b>Min Essence:</b> 3
| |
| − | <b>Prereqs:</b> Flying Dragon Form
| |
| − | | |
| − | Evoking this Charm fills the users soul with the icy certainty of the elemental
| |
| − | pole of air. Using it channels the essence flows in your body completely inside
| |
| − | your body and requires supreme self control. The first obvious effect of this
| |
| − | Charm is that it snuffs the users Anima Banner instantly and prevents the banner
| |
| − | from manifesting for the duration of its use. This charm also prevents others
| |
| − | from percieving the characters Essence flows. For the duration of this Charm the
| |
| − | character is immune to any Charm which can alter, prevent or re-direct the use
| |
| − | of his own Charms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example, this Charm would prevent someone from benefiting from Power Reaping
| |
| − | Prana, or from using Sequential Charm Disruption on them for the duration.

| − | <b><i>Flying Dragon Ascend To Heaven Blast</b></i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Cost:</b> 5 motes, 1 Willpower
| |
| − | <b>Duration:</b> Instant
| |
| − | <b>Type:</b> Reflexive
| |
| − | <b>Min. Martial Arts:</b> 5
| |
| − | <b>Min Essence:</b> 3
| |
| − | <b>Prereqs:</b> Snatching The Dragon's Fang, Dragon Spiral Dance, Heart of Ice
| |
| − | | |
| − | The character spins himself in a circle, grabbing onto twisting contrails of his
| |
| − | opponents Essence and turning it around, all while maintaining a center of
| |
| − | perfect cool and calm. In a flash the character becomes the center of a tornado
| |
| − | that reaches high into the air, tearing apart the body and soul of the opponent
| |
| − | in a raging torrent of air and Essence before ejecting them into the sky.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Characters may not use this Charm unless they have already activated the Heart
| |
| − | of Ice charm. To activate this Charm the martial artist must be atacked by an
| |
| − | Essence fueled attack of some kind and successfully evade it. This can be a
| |
| − | Charm supplemented attack, a Spell or other magical effect. At the moment the
| |
| − | character evades the opponents attack he rolls his Dexterity + Martial Arts
| |
| − | against a difficulty equal to the opponents permanent Essence. If successful the
| |
| − | opponent is caught in the tornado of the Flying Dragon Ascending to Heaven. This
| |
| − | counterattack may not be dodged or blocked unless the effect can explicitly
| |
| − | avoid undodgeable or unblockable effects.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The damage from this Charm is equal to the number of motes of Essence the victim
| |
| − | used in their Essence fueled attack against the martial artist. In the case of
| |
| − | Combos use the total Essence cost. Also add in the total number of Essence the
| |
| − | character has commited to Charms at this time, but not those commited to
| |
| − | Artifacts. Damage is bashing or lethal at the character's option. Opponents that
| |
| − | take damage from this Charm suffer twice the usual amount of knockback.
| |
| − | Characters that have evoked the Heart of Ice are explicitly immune to this
| |
| − | Charm.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example: Wild Horse is attacked by his arch-rival in a sudden burst of
| |
| − | essence. Wild Horse evokes the Flying Dragon Ascend To Heaven Blast. The
| |
| − | opponent has a Flow Like Blood and Whirlwind of Searing Blows active and used a
| |
| − | Combo of Excellent Strike and Fires and Stones Strike on his attack. This means
| |
| − | that the Flying Dragon does a base damage of 5 + 7 + 5 (for Execllent Strike) +
| |
| − | 3 (for Fire and Stones) for a total base damage of 20 (bashing or lethal).
