The main character will use a self-devised sword style he developed from his past life's knowledge of real world swordsmanship and fictional sword styles, in addition to his spirit ring abilities. This style tentatively named Dance of the Jade Scale. The name will make sense when his spirit(s) are awakened. (When I actually write it)
1st phase - (Flash Cut) high speed slash from an Iaido stance
Range: close 0-5 meters
2nd phase - (Rupturing Wind) Horizontal slash releasing a pressure wave for a range attack
Range: long 0- ??? Meters
3rd phase - (Deception Cut) A powerful spin, generating the momentum needed to slash at any opponents around the user
Range: short 0-5 meters
4th phase - (Afterglow) in conjunction with Flash, a second slash is made while the opponent is disoriented from Flash's speed
Range: close 0-5 meters
5th phase - ( Retreating Cut) user jumps back and draws his sword. His drawing is so fast it creates a shockwave that damages his opponent
Range: middle 5-10 meters
6th phase - (Earth Breaker) Powerful 2-handed downward strike aimed at opponents head
Range: short 0-5 meters
7th phase - (Shredding Fang) user thrusts the sword forward with the rear hand while stepping forward and twisting his wrist
Range: middle 5-10 meters
That's all I got for now.
I figured instead if of just ripping off a anime/manga sword style that I would make one that is a hodgepodge of different styles mixed into one. I plan on having 13 phases to the style so if you guys have any ideas for moves he could use, feel free to suggest some that fall into the speed/power category of offense or even some defensive moves.
