Challenging someone to take on my girl, Sakuya Kyoya in a T1 Moderate Power Challenge! For those unfamiliar with T1 MP, here is what it means:

T1 MP: This is the style that is commonly used now as a more realistic look towards T1 PC. The characters have special powers, just not ones that have a power that is capable of destroying an entire planet. Powers such as elemental abilities are acceptable, but if there is a power that is capable of using all elements you must keep that power in a moderate use. Ex: Bleach, and Naruto.

Rules: Fight is to the DEATH!

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Universe: Akashic Arcana
Name: Sakuya Kyoya (Sa-ku-ja, Kj-oja)
Nicknames/Titles/Aliases: The Serene Blade/Kyoya Princess
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Nationality: Japanese
Current Residence: Tokyo

APPEARANCE:

Height: 179 cm | 5’10 ft
Weight: 60 kg | 132 lbs
Eye Color: Black
Hair Color: Raven Black

Appearance:
Sakuya is the ideal image of Japanese beauty. Her skin is light and almost white with noble facial conditions as if the Gods had blessed her with the appearance of an angel. High-bridged nose, slim and small face, while maintaining a petite frame and natural long, curly eyelashes most women would kill for. Her personality is also quiet and polite, as she was bought up in the noble court of the Kyoya Clan, eventually hoping to marry her to a worthy suitor.

The ideal beauty and frame are often ruined by Sakuya's weak physical constitution. Born with an incurable disease, Sakuya is often bedridden, while coughing her literal guts out. Many say it is the curse of Muramasa, the Demon Sword of the Kyoya Family.

For regular clothing, Sakuya always wears an Imperial inspired uniform, matched with a white shirt and tie. She always shows the badge of the Kyoya Clan on her jacket.

PERSONALITY, HISTORY AND STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:

Personality: Sakuya's personality is described as polite and gentle. Her manners are befitting of a woman with her status. Her kindness towards life is peculiar, as she sees the value of all, even her enemies. She is referred as the Serene Blade due to the purity of herself and her sword.

History: Born into the esteemed 3rd Imperial Family, the Kyoya Clan of Japan. However, since birth, she was cursed with an illness that still continues to haunt her to present day. She was born with two collapsed lungs as a child, and even with all the healers and magic nurses, they were certain the child of Sanada and Himawari Kyoya was destined for an early death.

However, by a miracle, Sakuya survived just barely, as the doctors and mages had performed surgery on her frail body for two days without rest. But she would have to struggle with her illness for her remaining days.

As she grew up within the esteemed Kyoya Clan, known for their sword-technique and close-combat mages, Sakuya proved to be a prodigy with the blade, despite her illness. Her Clan revered her as the reincarnation of Uesugi Kenshin, and her mastery of the Kyoya-Ryu Sword Style was achieved at an early age.

When Sakuya awakened her ability to Soul Ignite, it was apparent that Sakuya's soul burned with such bright intensity that even her instructors were a lost for words. Her father recognized this, due to Sakuya having been near death and living with the touch of the shinigami every day, her Soul Ignite may one day surpass every past leader of the Clan when she matures enough to wield Muramasa.

Kyoya Clan
Swordsmanship, Spirit Fire, Soul Element.

The lineage of the Kyoya Clan stretches as far back to the Õnin Wars and Sengoku Era. A proud family of samurais who mastered the way of Bushido and the Sword. It is said that the cursed sword, Muramasa, was forged for the Kyoya Clan’s head, during the Sengoku times. Miyamoto Musashi, widely recognized as the greatest Samurai to have ever lived, shares the same bloodline with the Kyoya Clan. By such, it is by default that the family members of this clan masters the sword and lives by the honor of the Code.

In modern Era and after the end of the Age of Samurais, the Kyoya was the only family allowed to carry katanas and maintain the tradition of their people’s heritage. Already during the age of the Samurai, the Kyoya’s swordsmanship was regarded as divine. It is due to their soul fire technique. By igniting your soul, they can attain a form surpassing humans for a moment. This secret harnesses the sensation a person’s feeling just before their death, pushing their bodies beyond human capabilities, pumping them with adrenaline and almost divine power. However, very few people can maintain the Soul Ignite for more than five minutes, as it can seriously injure one’s body. The current family head is known to be able to Soul Ignite indefinitely while possessing the Muramasa Sword. If Excalibur was divine, then the Muramasa is demonic.

The characteristics of Soul Ignite is the left eye of the user setting ablaze with an untamed blue fire.

The School of Kyoya is regarded as the strongest sword form in Japan, as it is constantly evolving. Each Kyoya Style Master always adds one or many techniques to the compendium of Swords.
