IDEA DESCRIPTION

Explained by the author.

Skill Icons taken from League of Legends (Sue me) Hero Portrait take from kachima from Deviant Art https://www.deviantart.com/kachima/art/CM-kusarigama-s-Kunoichi-456789678 Shinobu, The Shinobi, is a hyper-mobile melee carry who is capable of gracefully dancing through the battlefield whilst pulling her enemies along. Armed with her trusty Wakizashi and Kusarigama, she can surgically pick apart foes no matter how far away they are. Aiming at the enemies' weak points, she can perform Hissatsu on them, preventing them from escaping. Through the battlefield, she slides and dashes with the move called Ryuusei No Uchi. Being highly trained in Kusarigama Jitsu, Shinobu can use them to their fullest capacity by pulling herself and her victim towards each other.

LORE & HISTORY

Unveil the backstory and characteristics of this idea.

Like others who were born and raised on the Isle of Masks, Shinobu was fated to die. The collapse of the Isle and the exile of its only savior was, what one can call, a fixed point in time. No matter how many times the ancients reversed the clock, the Isle would always fall, and all of its inhabitants except one would die. That was until a single branch of the timeline causes Shinobu to discover a Claszuremian Artefact. The Artefact allows Shinobu to automatically rewind time when she is killed. So when the time comes for the Isle to fall, time would always be rewound. Armed with the knowledge of the collapse, Shinobu decided to try and help evacuate people. But her efforts are all in vain as the fall would always come earlier than expected. Countless times she died trying to help. It was a hopeless battle; one that she cannot endure any longer. So she decided that in her next life, she would take off her mask and exile herself as she is not worthy of the Isle anymore. Stowaway on a ship, she reached the mainland within 2 full moons. She would spend the next few months in and out of guilds trying to find work until one morning came the news of the collapse. The Isle has felled. Two survivors remained. The clock did not reverse this time as Shinobu did not die. This would be the spark that reignites her determination to save her people. Now on the battlefield of the ancients, she would do what is necessary to gain the power to defy fate and prevent the fall of the Isle.
