History: Yukiko was born and raised on the westernmost peak of Japan, in a small fishing village. Her family were fishermen, and Yukiko quickly took up the trade. One day, when sitting at the beach and fixing a net, Yukiko saw a piece of wood out at sea with a man on it, drifting closer and closer to shore. Yukiko was 9 at this point, but she knew how dangerous the sea could be, and so she waded out to help this man. She managed to get him to land, unconsious as he was, but still alive. Yukiko put a spare cloth over him, then ran to fetch her father, who came with a few other villagers and helped carry the stranger to a warm and dry place.
A few days later, the man awakened and noticed Yukiko sitting beside him, as if she'd been there all the time. He said that he couldn't remember much, but that he had been in an accident...he didn't even remember his own name, but somehow he knew that he was a warrior of some sort.
Yukiko, intriqued by this mysterious man, started questioning him over the days, weeks, even years, trying to help him remember.
The man, being invigorated by the strong-willed spirit of Yukiko, started to slowly regain his memory, and in gratitude, he taught her some basic combat knowledge and common etiquette, as it was outside their village.
Yukiko took the information in like nothing the stranger had ever seen before, she learned so fast.

At her 20th birthday, Yukiko decided to venture out and explore Japan. And so, she left her parents and her younger brother and her mentor, the Stranger, as she always called him, and ventured towards the east.
the Stranger had given her his katana that had floated to shore with him, and that he had cared for vigorously, with the words that she had more use for it than he did.

Yukiko later aquired a second katana to match, naming her pair Kuki-matsu and Ruki-matsu.

Note: Yukiko have only heard of firearms, never seen one herself except from a distance. (And luckily not pointed at her)

Weaponry: Kuki-matsu and Ruki-matsu, two standard length masterwork katanas.


Critical Strike:
Curse of the Tsunami:
Yukiko goes into a meditative state, channeling elemental power into her katanas. After a while, when the power reaches it's peak, she can unleash a watery grave by lashing out with both her weapons, with the force of a tsunami, having rumors said to have washed away even larger pieces of forests. By a watery grave, I mean that she goes into a dance of death, swinging her swords at everything that moves in the vicinity, enemies or allies, while her swords drips of salty sea water. No, she doesn't literally summon a tsunami, but the force is like one, hence the reference. She did raze a part of a forest this way, but she was nearly unconscious afterwards, as it drains a lot of energy.
She can use it twice per battle/thread and cannot use it again for five posts. MUST be using both weapons at the same time.

"She can unleash a watery grave." I'm going to need you to elaborate on that more. I doubt that your character can summon a tsunami, but I also do not get what you are stating. Possibly that her attacks are just ferocious, but it is up to you to explain yourself and not the members to guess.

Then just need you to state how many times she can use her Critical Strike per battle/thread and a cooldown.

Ok, I'll be changing it slightly, to make it more comprehensible, but by a watery grave, I mean that she goes into a dance of death, swinging her swords at everything that moves in the vicinity, enemies or allies, while her swords drips of salty sea water. No, she doesn't really summon a tsunami, but the force is like one, hence the reference. She did raze a part of a forest this way, but she was nearly unconscious afterwards, as it drains a lot of energy.
She can use it once per battle/thread and cannot use it again for three full days, aka 72 hours.

If it doesn't clarify, I'll try to explain further.

That is what I thought when I read it, but I'm sure you understand where I was coming from. Also 3 days is a bit extreme. Most like to have a cooldown of so many posts, but its fine. You may change it at anytime as long as you inform the Staff.
