History:

Racial Breaker — Regal Plumage
Description: Over the centuries, bird feathers have evolved to serve a function of survivability to the fortunate creatures that sport them. This is true to an even stronger extent in the Gousha no Chourui, who have evolved a step farther than their natural brethren. Powder down feathers are mixed in with their natural plumage, giving them protection against water (blocking Suiton jutsu up to 'A' rank); it simply slides right off. Similarly, their massive body heat is trapped beneath their feathers, insulating them from frigid temperatures and ice (blocking and melting Hyouton jutsu up to 'B' rank).[/font][/blockquote][/div]

[Megumi]

Name: Karasu no Gikai.
Classification: Junior.
Rank: D.
Chakra Consumption: Low per bird.
Statistics: Offense (0). Defense (0). Speed (3); High x2.
Description: Not actually a singular summon, this contract calls forth multiple ravens for the appropriate cost. Ravens are considered one of the most intelligent birds, which is why they are used as both spies and message carriers. Each one has their own personality, some calm and some annoying. However, for the right cost — they particularly enjoy shiny baubles — they will work hard to complete even the most dangerous mission. If the summoner does not have the appropriate present, they will not follow orders. Each bird is of a normal size for their species: 56 to 78 cm in length with a wingspan of 100 to 150 cm.

Fukuwajutsu (Ventriloquism)Type: Supplementary
Cost: Mid
Description: Even though birds tend to be a natural part of the scenery, when spying is the intent sometimes it becomes necessary to distract the target. With this technique, a raven (or multiple ravens, for additional cost) can call out, but the sound will not come from their actual location. Instead, the noise will be thrown in the exact opposite direction they are in up to 20 meters away, confusing the target.

[Megumi]

Name: Kyokusen.
Classification: Senior.
Rank: B.
Chakra Consumption: High.
Statistics: Offense (3). Defense (1). Speed (5); Massive.
Description: If any member of the family is based purely on an intimidating appearance, it is Kyokusen, who sports one of the most recognizable specie: Peregrine Falcon. A beneficial adaptation in her species is the notch on her beak, near the tip, which enables her to kill prey by severing the spinal column at the neck. At twelve meters in length, with a wingspan of thirteen and a half meters, this could definitely be dangerous to humans as well. However, it is not her offensive capabilities that make her stand out, but her speed.

Flight Harness
Rank: B
Limit: -
Description: It would be suicidal to ride Kyokusen without some way to strap yourself on during high-speed maneuvers; that's why the flight harness was crafted. The leather saddle is secured to her body around her wings and under her belly so as not to interfere with movement. It is large enough to comfortably seat up to three grown adults, and they will remain on so long as they utilize the built-in harnesses. However, riding this giant avian still requires a high amount of training and skill.

Jinsoku Hikou (Swift Flight)
Type: Supplementary.
Cost: -
Description: Peregrine Falcons are known to be the swiftest flyers, but Kyokusen is the best among them. Her streamlined body allows for top-speed movement and aerial maneuvers, both for travel and in battle. Normally she can reach speeds of up to 100 mph, but when she dives she can reach speeds up to 200 mph. Unfortunately, her light bones and particular bone structure come with a great cost: her durability is low, and almost any damage could prove disastrous.

[Megumi]

Name: Sensui-kan.
Classification: Senior.
Rank: A.
Chakra Consumption: High x2.
Statistics: Offense (3). Defense (2). Speed (4); Massive.
Description: At nine meters long, with an eleven meter wingspan, Sensui-kan is perhaps the largest black-throat loon documented in history. He is sleek but not particularly aerodynamic—no, this avian's body is built to soar through the water like air, stalking his favorite prey: fish. Sensui-kan should not be underestimated however, as he is still capable of flight like his brethren. While his feet are webbed and not situated for harming a target, his beak is dagger-shaped, sharp and potentially deadly all on its own. It is said that over time he has learned not only to thrive in water, but to control it.

Fushizen Era (Unnatural Gills)
Type: Supplementary.
Cost: -
Description: Black-throated loons are quite at home in the water, perhaps even more so than in the air. Sensui-kan's chakra automatically filters oxygen from the water he inhales, allowing him to breathe under water. He can remain under for up to 10 turns, but then he will need to return to the surface for at least 1 turn to supplement the levels of oxygen he took in.

Reiteki Tori (Spiritual Birds)
Type: Suiton / Offensive
Cost: High per bird
Description: By focusing his chakra, Sensui-kan can call forth birds made of water to assault his opponent. These birds are looking to kill and will not hesitate to stab with their beaks or maim with their talons. Each one is 2 meters long and can move up to 50 meters away from him. However, they require a large water source (such as a lake) to be made and must remain within it, or they will return to their natural state.

[Megumi]

Name: Akushitsuna.
Classification: Senior.
Rank: A.
Chakra Consumption: High x2.
Statistics: Offense (5). Defense (2). Speed (5); Massive x2.
Description: Akushitsuna is not quite your average bird; he is, in fact, a cassowary. He's just a bit taller than the average human at 2 meters tall, with most of that height made up by long, heavily muscled legs. While is body is round and his wings are tiny, he's still covered in beautiful violet feathers. His beak is long and hooked, capable of stabbing and gutting opponents with ease; atop his head is a horn-like crest, called a casque, made of keratin, protecting the skull from damage. While most of his features are very striking, none is more so than his three-toed feet. Each toe has sharp claws, but the middle one sports a larger one, like a 5 inch-long dagger, that comes in particular handy for kicking opponents. If all of this wasn't enough, Akushitsuna's personality is one of aggression and masculinity; he takes orders from his summoner and no one else.

Keri Tatsumaki (Tornado Kick)
Type: Taijutsu / Offensive.
Cost: Low.
Description: A surge of chakra is sent through the muscles of Akushitsuna's body and, more importantly, his legs. By leaping into the air and spinning at just the right moment, he can perform a powerful kick at high speeds that is said to look like a tornado. The kick itself is enough to break bone because of his size, but his dagger-like claw has the added a effect of gutting whatever it touches.

[Megumi]

Name: Mou Fubuki.
Classification: Senior.
Rank: S.
Chakra Consumption: Massive.
Statistics: Offense (3). Defense (3). Speed (3); Massive x2.
Description: Mou Fubuki is the most balanced of his family in all aspects, from combat to personality. Despite his 20 meter tall frame and 10 meter long wingspan, he's cool and collected, preferring tactic over brute force in most situations. Large, hooking talons can scoop up his prey and his beak is capable of ripping his targets limb-from-limb. As a Snowy Owl, his thick plumage gives him decent defense and insulation from the cold.

Hikami Shinwa (Ice Affinity)
Type: Supplementary.
Cost: -
Description: Mou Fubuki has developed the Regal Plumage even further. Because of his heavy feathers and affinity with ice, he is completely immune to Hyouton-based attacks. Any water within 50 meters of him will freeze, making it more difficult for Suiton users to perform their abilities; any technique they use that requires a source will have its cost doubled. However, unlike the other Gousha, he has no defense against Suiton jutsu that do make contact with him.

Shimobashira (Frost Crystals)
Type: Hyouton / Offensive
Cost: Mid x2.
Description: Mou Fubuki's natural affinity with the snow allows him to transform the very water in his body, freezing it into a new form. When he exhales, up to five needles of ice are shot from his beak at high speeds. Not only are they four times the size of a normal senbon, but they are just as hard and sharp as steel, capable of piercing flesh and armor alike. The needles can travel up to 10 meters in a linear fashion.

Shimo Shuriken (Frost Shuriken)
Type: Hyouton / Offensive
Cost: High, Mid (optional)
Description: Mou Fubuki's natural affinity with the snow allows him to transform the very water in the air, freezing it into a new form. A 2 meter diameter shuriken is formed from ice, hovering next to him. After flapping his wings the shuriken will shoot out at a high speed toward his target, travelling up to 20 meters away. For an additional cost, two shuriken can be made instead of one.

Shimo-kyuu (Frost Sphere)
Type: Hyouton / Offensive
Cost: High x2
Description: Mou Fubuki's natural affinity with the snow allows him to transform the very water in his body, freezing it into a new form. This technique allows him to freeze a basketball-sized sphere of water in his mouth, which can then be shot at a target at high speeds. The sphere can travel up to 20 meters and upon contact explodes into shards of ice that can impale anything in a 5 meter radius.

Shimo Bougyo (Frost Shield)
Type: Hyouton / Defensive
Cost: High x2, Mid (upkeep)
Description: Mou Fubuki's natural affinity with the snow allows him to transform the very water in the air, freezing it into a new form. After giving a strong flap of his wings, a 20x20x20 square shield of ice will form in front of any target within 5 meters. It can protect against attacks B rank or below so long as the upkeep cost is held. However, Katon attacks of C rank or above will melt it easily.

[Megumi]

Name: Fenghuang.
Classification: Sage.
Rank: S.
Chakra Consumption: Massive.
Statistics: Offense (4). Defense (3). Speed (3); Massive x3.
Description: Known as the Queen of the Birds and a goddess of the sky, Fenghuang is a massive, almost mythological-looking avian. Her feathers move in gradient from light brown to a sumptuous chocolate. Her body is 15 meters long, not including her tail, which adds another 20 meters to her total length. With a 30 meter wingspan, a giant beak and deadly claws, she's more like a sentient airplane that wants nothing more than to tear apart her foes. She's capable of fighting small prey when necessary, but it is against larger opponents that Fenghuang truly shines. She cares only for her family and her summoners; for everyone else, there is not even a shred of remorse in her cold ruby eyes.


Equipment

Regal Saddle
Rank: B
Limit: -
Description: Amazingly, the Queen of the Birds is quite docile and loving, almost motherly, toward the summoners she has hand-chosen to contract with her. Because she is so determined to aid in their endevours, a special saddle was crafted to fit her enormous body; it is made of the finest rubies and light-weight metal that money could buy. The saddle can comfortably fit up to five people at a time and allows them to be secured on her back. Otherwise, they are liable to fall off during aerial maneuvers.

Regal Leg Guards
Rank: A
Limit: -
Description: While head-to-head combat is not her forte, Fenghuang knows that protecting some of her more vulnerable parts is necessary. These light-weight, golden guards hide her legs from various attacks. They were crafted to match her other accessories, and so are also set with large, spherical rubies.

Regal Head Guard
Rank: A
Limit: -
Description: A giant ruby is set into the face of this bird-sized forhead protector, allowing it to match the rest of Fenghuang's equipment. It serves to guard her vulnerable cranium from on-coming attacks while also looking stylish.

Tamashii Saiken (Soul Bond)
Type: Passive
Cost: -
Description: Fenghuang cares deeply for the summoners she has contracted with, so much so that they are considered part of the Gousha no Chourui family. When the contract is signed, the souls are bonded; because of this, she is able to communicate telepathically with her summoner at will. While she is capable of human speech like other summon creatures, these quiet interactions provide a chance for hidden tactical movements.

Kazoku wa Mure (Family Flock)
Type: Supplementary
Cost: x2 High, Mid (upkeep)
Description: Fenghuang's ability to manipulate lightning, thunder, and wind is well-known, but a secret of the family is that she can extend these powers to her summoner, too. If the summoner possesses the ability to use Fuuton or Raiton jutsu, the offensive and defensive power of those techniques is elevated by 1 rank. If the summoner cannot use one or both of those elements, they gain access to them. However, the summoner must train techniques normally to be able to use them when granted these releases. Kazoku wa Mure's effects last only so long as the summoner is within 100 meters of Fenghuang.

Kuuki Rikigaku No (Aerodynamic)
Type: Supplementary
Cost: High, Mid x2 (upkeep)
Description: By focusing Fuuton chakra beneath and around her feathers, Fenghuang enables herself to move even faster and more fluidly in the air. So long as she is flying or using her wings (not walking on the earth), this technique increases her movement speed by 2 statistical points.

Inazuma no Oura (Lightning Aura)
Type: Ninjutsu / Offensive.
Cost: Mid, Mid (upkeep)
Description: The goddess of the sky is well-versed in all things related to her domain. As such, she has the ability to channel a chakra-fueled aura of pure lightning energy (manifested as a semi-transparent, slightly yellow glow) around her entire body. While this does nothing innately, it adds a 'B' rank of Raiton damage to any physical attack enacted on an opponent. Likewise, anything that attempts to touch her, friend or foe alike, will suffer an equally powerful shock.

Kaze Touei (Wind Projection)
Type: Ninjutsu / Offensive
Cost: High x2, High (per extra tornado), Mid (upkeep)
Description: The wind is Fenghuang's best friend; the sky is her playground and Fuuton chakra bends to her will with ease. By concentrating her massive supply, she can change the air pressure in certain spots, thereby manifesting a 4 meter tall tornado. While this tornado is relatively small in size, it spins much faster than its natural counterpart; the wind is like blades, and it can shred even the strongest steel that it makes contact with. Fenghuang can manifest them so long as their upkeep is maintained and is capable of controlling their movement with her thoughts.
