Main Techniques

Blue Dragon: A technique taught to all Kyr dragoons. It is a series of five attacks, relying more on speed than power. It starts with a horizontal slash into a diagonal uppercut, a downward strike on the opposite diagonal into a straight upward thrust into a final jump attack meant to knock the opponent back. This is used primarily as a defensive move to gain distance from an opponent, should they close inside the lance’s guard. The strikes are by no means weak, but only the last part of the attack is capable of serious damage due to the nature of the weapon.

Thunderbird: The offensive version of Blue Dragon. Taima leads with a jumping attack, as soon as the lance strikes the opponent or the ground she uses the momentum to vault up and flip, slashing down at their upper back and head, then flipping up a second time and twisting to finally land and launch a powerful thrust at the opponent’s (hopefully) unprotected back. Very beautiful and difficult to pull off, as she does not touch the ground until the final part of the attack. The full attack is only successfully completed about 25% of the time because of the amount of sheer strength it takes. Taima does not use it often unless she is sure she can land the last hit, which has been known to make or break a fight in past tournaments.

Lightning: Taima charges Tempest with electricity and leaps high into the air, diving at her opponent with earth-shattering force, the electricity forming a whirling vortex around her. The impact disperses the energy with a powerful but short range secondary blast.

Stormwind: Her signature technique and namesake. She distances herself from her opponent and spins Tempest in a rapid vertical whirl, charging the entire lance with electricity. Once charged she releases it in a wide vertical arc, discharging an expanding horizontal energy blast with a strong following wind at her opponent. Its power weakens as it travels, with a max range of approximately 30 feet in normal conditions. An approaching or present storm can intensify the power and extend the range to as much as 50 feet or more, depending on the storm’s strength.

Bio:

The Valkyrja are an ancient warrior tribe with a small but powerful empire called Kyr. They are not aggressive toward neighboring countries but instead a deeply religious society based on honor and the holy spirit of battle. They are not often seen beyond Kyr’s borders.

Taima Aolani the Stormwind is an exception. She is a hero among the Valkyrja, remaining undefeated in seven consecutive Hero Campaigns, the great tournament held every year at the sacred city of Valkyr. However, on the eighth tournament she was defeated by a newcomer’s underhanded tricks, though to the empire it was a clean victory. No Valkyrja has ever cheated or acted dishonorably in or out of the Campaign. She could not object to the crowning of the new Hero without dishonoring herself.

Although her standing in the eyes of her people did not suffer, Taima herself was devastated by the loss. After many long days of soul-searching, she decided to leave the empire and seek new opponents and above all, answer one question: the true identity of the new Kyr Hero. Taima strongly believes that she was not defeated by a Valkyrja, but by a pretender. She fully intends to find the truth.

Two years into the journey, Taima learns of a powerful and noble order, the Phoenix Knights. She immediately decides to apply to the esteemed ranks in the hopes of learning from other great warriors. It may not help find her answers, but is determined to return and defeat the imposter. To do that she must become even stronger. As strong as a Knight of legend. That is why she requests to join the Phoenix Knights.
