***Quick Character Details*** Name: Raitoningu Burēdo Age: 18 Gender: Male Race/Ethnicity: Human/Minkai Height: 6'2" Weight: 200 lbs Hair: Black, shoulder length hair Eye Color: Steely blue eyes Alignment: Chaotic Good Token Deity: Occupation: Student of the Sword Current Rank: Ronin ***Background*** Most Samurai are born into the honorable Warrior profession; however this is not the case for Raitoningu Burēdo or Rai or Raito for short. In his youth, his first encounter with the Samurai was a horrifying affair for his father was killed by warring Samurai. Rai escaped and hid from the aggressive Black Daimyo Samurai. Fearing for his life, he did not return to the site where his father was killed until he had gone back to his village to tell his family and villagers of what had happened. After his father was buried and unable to neither forget nor forgive, Rai's desire for vengeance grew. One day, Rai found a mature row of bamboo growing and decided to cut down one that could be used as a wooden sword of sorts. Rai cut down the bamboo to roughly mimic of a bokken, the wooden practice sword of the Samurai. He begins practicing every day after his chores first with one wooden bamboo then with two. If Rai was not practicing, and there was a nearby war, he would watch the battle from a hidden safe vantage point. One day on the road to his favorite fishing spot, he found a bokken that was lost the child of a Samurai. He immediately brought it home and convinces a woodworker to make a smaller version of the bokken to mimic a Wakizashi. One day while walking to his fishing spot, he ran into another Black Daimyo Samurai from the same Order who killed his father. Since it was dishonorable to be staring down a Samurai, wearing a set of bokkens and not being a Samurai, and being a citizen from the opposition, the Black Daimyo Samurai attacked Rai. Not being geared for a mounted Samurai, Rai ran into the trees to level the playing field. The Black Samurai was not going to let this opposing citizen dishonor him nor the Samurai caste, he dismounted and confronted Rai. Under estimating Rai, the Black Samurai attacked and before he realized he made a tactical error, he was on the ground unconscious. When he awoke, all of his weapons and armor was missing. Rai hid the armor and weapons. He began practicing with real weapons to become accustomed to the differences and modified the armor hoping to disguise it. Realizing he needed more practice with living Samurai and would bring death to his family and village, Rai gathered "his" weapons and disguised armor, and then headed out for more practice until he can one day challenge the Samurai who killed Rai's father. Rai heard of a Samurai he could challenge, so he boarded the Gedatsu (Salvation). Just in case the ship would sink or someone would see through the disguise, Rai secured the armor on the ship. However, it appears that Rai's vengeance would never be fulfilled or would it just be delayed? ***Physical Description*** Raitoningu Burēdo is a strong and tall human male hailing from Minkai. He has black shoulder length hair that he curls up when wearing his Kikko armor helm and has steely blue eyes that seems to pierce Raitoningu Burēdo is a strong and tall human male hailing from Minkai. He has black shoulder length hair that he curls up when wearing his Kikko armor helm and has steely blue eyes that seems to pierce you as you look at him. Rai is wearing Kikko armor from head to toe which is well worn but functional and clean. Under Raito's armor, parts of a hitatare Robe and hakama pants can be seen. On his belt, are a Katana, Wakizashi, and a belt pouch which contains contents. Lastly, Raito is wearing a backpack that also obviously contains contents. ***Personality*** Raito is very stoic but does show outwardly emotion when the emotion becomes too strong to hold back, then he quickly gains control to become stoic once more. This is not to be confused with his battle visage and war cry (kiai) which is necessary for combat for swift and powerful strikes, and staying in the fight. Unlike most Samurai, he does not go about cutting people's heads off because they do not give him the upmost respect for he only desires the same respect as any other living being. He loves sword practice, sparring, and sword duels. He does not believe in following a lord or lady who can bleed if wounded and wears clothes made from earthly materials. He loves battle tactics and loves to have discussions about such tactics. CHARACTER PROGRESSION:

MONK SOHEI ARCHETYPE TO UNCHAINED MONK UNCHAINED SOHEI ARCHETYPE CONVERSION NOTE: This martial art is Androffan Combat Martial Arts or ACMA (ACK-ma). It is similar to Krav Maga. Archetype features that alter or replace slow fall replace the unchained monk’s 4th-level ki power. Archetype features that alter or replace high jump replace the unchained monk’s 6th-level ki power instead. Archetype features that alter or replace wholeness of body replace the unchained monk’s 8th-level ki power instead. Archetype features that alter or replace abundant step or diamond body replace the unchained monk’s 12th-level ki power instead. Currently, this overlap doesn’t affect any published core monk archetypes. Archetype features that alter or replace diamond soul replace the unchained monk’s 14th-level ki power instead. Archetype features that alter or replace quivering palm replace the unchained monk’s 16th-level ki power instead. Archetype features that alter or replace empty body replace the unchained monk’s 18th-level ki power instead. As a result, unchained monk archetypes earn such archetype features one level earlier than they would have if the character had levels in core monk. Archetype features that alter or replace any other monk class feature continue to do so. The unchained monk gains some class features earlier than the core monk, namely ki pool and tongue of the sun and moon. Archetypes that alter or replace such class features have had the level that they grant such features adjusted to match the new level of that class feature. For instance, archetype features that replace tongue of the sun and moon are now earned at 13th level instead of 17th level, reflecting the earlier level that the unchained monk gains tongue of the sun and moon.

Feather Balance (Ex): A monk with this ability can spend 1 ki point as a swift action to achieve perfect balance. While this is active, the monk treats any Acrobatics attempt made to balance as if he had rolled a 20. This ability lasts for 1 minute. High Jump (Ex): A monk with this ki power adds his level as a bonus on all Acrobatics checks to jump, both for vertical jumps and horizontal jumps.

A monk must be at least 6th level before selecting this ki power. Ki Guardian (Su): As an immediate action before he rolls a saving throw against a targeted effect that also targets other allies or an area effect whose area includes other allies, a monk with this ability can spend any number of ki points and designate a number of adjacent allies equal to the number of ki points spent. The monk rolls one saving throw for each designated ally, using his bonus instead of the ally's. For each successful saving throw, the corresponding ally treats the effect as if that ally had succeeded at the saving throw, and for each saving throw failed, the corresponding ally treats the effect as if that ally had failed the saving throw.

If the monk successfully damages the target of his attack, that opponent's cost to activate abilities with ki increases by 1 ki point for 1 hour. If the monk spends 2 points from his ki pool, he can use this ability to affect the target's arcane pool, arcane reservoir, grit points, inspiration, or panache points instead of its ki pool.
