Stone Breathing Teacher Kiano Tsung

One part of a two person group Kiano has been hunting demons well before the corp was formed. Earlier in her life she came across a demon hunting in the night stalking a family walking home on an empty road. Not much is known about Kiano's past or anything that brought her to the level of skill she is at. As the demon launched itself from the cover it had stalked them from Kiano's speed had brought her in between the monster and its prey. Tackling the weird creature and immediately breaking its arm with the strength of a gorilla while through gritted teeth telling the frozen fear family to run. She hadn't lost in a feat of strength to anyone before and even with breaking this mans arm it was still strong enough to fling her off him and stand. Once to his feet the arm quickly rotated back to its former position and the fractured bone returned under the skin with a smile appearing on its face. Kiano bringing herself back up watched the entire thing happen with clear agitation and wonder, this clearly wasn't a human, the strength, speed, and sheer determination proved that. However a faint smile appeared across her face as well as she stretched her neck while cracking her knuckles and gritting her teeth before charging the demon once more

From how she tells the story the fight lasted through the night into the next morning as she fought through dislocated bones, fractures through her ribs and even a broken leg. Each time she suffered an attack she rose to her feet once more beginning the assault once more testing her strength and pushing her body to its breaking point. As the sun began to rise she could see the demons expressions change from pure rage and excitement to fear and despair. Each moment that the sun grew closer the demon would attempt to draw back into the shadows and escape, Kiano noticing this fought with renewed vigor switching to a grappling style locking the demons movements down allowing the few rays of sunlight coming over the horizon. As the sun rose the rays hit the demons skin in varying spots causing it to reel in pain and the spots the sun touched to begin to burn and smoke. With each push and shrug the demon gave to get her away from him she rushed back in with labored breath grabbing the monstrosity and pulled it back into the sunlight till all that was left were the clothes the thing had worn burning away in her hands.....

Kiano was brought into the slayer corps when she was found passed out on the open road clutching a makeshift flail with an extended chain which seemed to be used to keep distance and possibly hold things down. Her body was mangled and broken, from what Ryu Enma could tell she had seen countless battles with things no normal human should be interacting with yet she had come out on top each time. When she awoke in the main healing unit they had a conversation on what it is she had been doing and both he and the leader were surprised when she had mentioned the death of 22 demons had come at her hands. She had found her own way of hunting and holding the things till daybreak by using her entire body as a weapon of destruction incorporating the elongated flail as a way to increase her ability to stop demon movement.

She was made the stone breathing instructor due to her resilience and indomitability and those characteristics follow into her training as well. her sessions taking place in Ome away from prying eyes. Her brash nature and straight forwardness only softened by the flame breathing teacher that resides in the same facility as her. Those attempting to learn stone breathing endure strenuous physical training as she attempts to turn her students body just as hard as the forms movements suggest making the user like stone. Those who survive the training come to the selection exam and have the highest passing rate of all other breathing styles.

Stone breathing special ability
The user of the stone breathing techniques has hardened their body to the utmost level of human durability. Activating a technique gives the user 15 armor that negates slashing and blunt strikes. Once the armor is broken they will take damage as normal, all over damage will be dealt as normal damage to health. This goes on a 3 post cool down once broken due to the user needing to regain their composure and breathing.

(Stone breathing was made with the intended weapon to be anything with a chain, however if you think you can make it work with another weapon by all means please try)

First Form: Serpentinite Bipolar- The user throws a chained weapon towards their intended target and manipulates the chain by rotating it thus causing the weapons on both ends to also rotate in order to drill and grind right through his target. +4 to damage, -5 breath. Earned once you finish training.

Second Form: Upper Smash- The user throws both his chained weapons for a pincer move before smashing down on the chain to cause the end weapon to then rebound and smash his target from afar. +6 to damage -10 breath. Free once you complete training.

Third Form: Stone Skin - The user unleashes a series of slashes with their weapon deflecting nearby attacks. -10 breath reduces damage taken by 5 for ranks Mizunoto-Kanoto, -8 for Kinoe-Hinoto, and my 12 for Hinoe-Hashira. Due to the weapons range this will deflect all attacks against allies. 1000 words of rigorous training under constant barrage of attacks from Kiano after the election exam

Fourth Form: Volcanic Rock, Rapid Conquest- The user manipulates both the weapons at both ends of the chain by swinging the chain on both sides in order to strike their opponents using a two pronged wide ranged attack. -8 to damage, -10 breath. This attack hits all enemies in the vicinity if successful. 1000 words mastering your weapons ability to change direction, force and speed practicing feints against Kiano.

Fifth Form: Arcs of Justice- The user utilizes a powerful barrage with their chained weapon, doing a great amount of damage. The first weapon is destined to hit first with the trajectory of the other following from the opposite side and slamming into the opponent. +6 damage, -15 breath. This is a consecutive attack and can be continued with each successful hit adding +3 to damage, the breath cost is reduced to 5 for each consecutive attack used after the first. Training with Kiano in a battle to satisfy her lust for another strong opponent....good luck. Make a topic and you will be joined.

When you learn all of the breathing techniques you can make your own at your own leisure.
