History:
Nosuke was born in Nakatsugawa in the last years of the Ashikaga shogunate to poor and stagnant parents. He was left at the door of a buddhist shrine knowing the monks within would raise him and care for him better than they could. As he grew he learned the teachings of the Ikko-Ikki and as the turmoil escalated the monks and priests of the Ikko-Ikki joined in the ensuing chaos to claim religious freedom. However, Nosuke chose not to fight. The skills and techniques he had learned during his training were meant as a weapon of salvation; not destruction. So unable to reconcile his beliefs with the other he parted ways with the Ikko-Ikki and journeyed throughout Japan helping the sick, curing the wounded, or excorcising demonic spirits that infested peoples homes.

However, one cannot avoid conflict in a wartorn nation and soon Nosuke was forced into a fight for his life during a stay in a village. He joined with a local militia to drive off a contingent of warriors attempting to take the city in order to protect the villagers who had shown him hospitality and out of a desire for survival. The militia drove the attacking force back, but Nosuke was heart stricken to learn later than the town was destroyed by a larger force soon after his departure. Nosuke continues his travels in his mission to aid those who need him. Now his travels lead him to the province of Nagato.

Weaponry:

Sutras
Magical paper talismans infused with spiritual energies used for various effects.

Exploding Sutra
Sutra's overcharged with spiritual energy and designed to explode on contact once thrown.

Stun Sutra
Sutra tags that can be placed on an enemy to paralyze them and hold them in place. Only works on enemy troops and not generals as their spirit is generally too strong to hold.

Sutra Barrier
Ward used to repel spiritual and magical energies. Allows the user to deflect magical and spiritual attacks, but has no effect on melee attacks. Has a cooldown time of 3 posts.

Sutra Knife
The user enchants the sutra with their spiritual energy to create a knife that can be used in melee or be thrown at more distant enemies.

Excorcism Sutra
Expels demonic entities that have possessed a human. Requires 5 posts to recite the spell and expel the demon.

Quarterstaff
A standard monks staff made of carved wood. The top has a bronze ring with several other bronze rings hanging from it.

Critical Strike:
Sutra Shield-
A stronger version of the sutra barrier that allows the monk to shield a large amount of allies from attack. The shield can defend from 1 large scale attack before it breaks. If in a duel with an opposing officer the barrier shrinks to a personal barrier that defends against half of all attacks for 3 turns. The drawback for the extended shield is that it requires intense concentration and Nosuke is unable to take other actions while the shield is active. The shield only defends against projectile attacks no matter whether they are magical or physical, but has no effect on melee and does not prevent enemies from walking through it.

Alright Raven, from what I can see, there is nothing out of place, you seriously put some work into this one, the Critical Strike is reasonable (Also the first defensive one I've seen so far) and the Sutra idea reminds me alot of Kanetsugu, whom I played as alot (After a certain Iga Ninja, of course)

Anyhow.

I expect that none of these said 'explosions' are to harmful towards players. If that is so, I see no issue.

Yea, forgot to include that. Would be too easy if I could blow up generals lol.
