Miyamoto Musashi
Master of the Art of Combat
Swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi (a.k.a. 宮本 武蔵)
Summary:
A legendary Kensei and master tactician renowned across the country for her skill in both the physical and conceptual arenas of combat. She is currently working on a volume containing all of her accumulated knowledge, The Book of Five Rings, and travels the country to collect ever more experiences to add to it. In the pursuit of this, she has recently joined the Hashinara Clan for a time, in order to participate in their relatively frequent battles and test herself ever further. Musashi's personality is exactly as one would expect, for the most part. She is serious, unforgiving, and harshly critical of everyone, including herself most of all. Attacking every problem with the same fervor she would on the battlefield, her fierce disposition drives most people away, but also makes her an iconic figure for many fellow warriors. Secretly, however, she enjoys exercising her cute and feminine side whenever possible. Musashi collects, and hides, fine clothing in her room, only dressing in them when she's sure no one is around to see her. She also has a fascination with stuffed animals, but hasn't allowed herself to purchase one yet.Unique Abilities:
Go Rin no Sho: Miyamoto Musashi's complete mastery over certain aspects of battle have given her capabilities far beyond those of most fighters. These are reflected in her five unique ki techniques, which represent the five rings of combat. Musashi is treated as having a limitless supply of ki points for the purposes of using and maintaining these techniques, and may have them active at all times without consequence. She is also treated as having the Total Accumulation advantage for the purpose of accumulating ki for these techniques. As she still needs to accumulate ki to use them, even if that ki is limitless, these techniques may be cancelled by abilities which prevent her from accumulating, such as Ki Cancellation. Musashi may learn other ki techniques as she progresses, but these advantages only apply to the five "Ring of..." techniques she begins with. All other techniques must be accumulated for and paid for in ki normally. Her unique techniques may, however, be upgraded. Despite being a Warrior for all other purposes, Musashi purchases accumulation multiples at the Technician cost (10).Mental characteristics
Personal history
Miyamoto Musashi entered Katsusada Shishauezaemon‘s celebratory tournament anonymously as a combatant. She faced against Tsunawara Mishiko, samurai bodyguard of the Tanahase, in the first round, and placed her opponent at weapon’s point almost immediately, one katana hovering just above Mishiko’s throat. The match was won without a drop of blood being spilled.
Musashi faced Nakajō Kageyasu in her second match. Though the enemy Tengu was faster, and too stealthy for her to track, she nevertheless simply stood in the center of the arena, eyes closed and breathing even. When Kageyasu launched her sneak attack, the armored swordswoman’s ki gathered in response and absorbed the strike harmlessly, even as she herself swung both katana in a deadly arc that sent the tengu into immediate unconsciousness.
