Name: Masanori
Age: 22
Pronouns and Gender: Non-Binary, They/Them
Breathing technique: Phoenix breathing (Shunten no Kokyu)
Derives from: Flame breathing
Forms in the technique: 11
Form names & how they perform in battle:

First Form: Ashes Reborn, Scorch
(Ichi no kata: Hai ga umarekawaru, Koge) The user moves forward and gracefully dodges every attack while delivering strong attacks. This acts as a means of counterattack or getting close to the enemy. The enemy can visually see their opponent turning into ash and reappearing that can confuse their vision.

Second Form: Helios' Wrath (Ni no kata: Heriosu no ikari) The user delivers a forward slash and leaps in the air and deliver a downward slash while enemies see flaming wings behind the user as they strike down.

Third Form: Wings of Phoenix (San no kata: Shunten no tsubasa) The user moves forward and gracefully dodges every attack while delivering strong attacks. This acts as a means of counterattack or getting close to the enemy.

Fourth Form: Scorching Illusion (Shi no kata: Shakunetsu no uzu) The user swiftly darts forward before making a fatal slash at the neck of their opponent, killing them in a mere instant. The sheer speed of the form leaves behind a mirage of the user, confusing the user's opponents and allowing them to be more easily slayed by the user.

Fifth Form: Phoenix Eruption (Go no kata: Fenikkusu Funka) The user darts forward before jumping into the air at a large height and swinging their body around, bringing their blade down at a slant. This form allows for incapacitation to some degree, as the move itself involves striking very close to the spine of the user' opponents. Depending on the angle that the user jumps from.

Sixth Form: Fading Embers (Roku no kata: Kie yuku moesashi) The user shifts into a stance where their feet are placed a good distance apart, before their enemy can react they leap forward at them, sword outstretched at neck. This technique is best used in a confined area and where the opponent has almost no move to dodge, but also similar to the fifth form of water breathing this is a technique that gives an enemy mercy in the end.

Seventh Form: Flare Feather Slash (Shichi no kata: Fureafezāsurasshu) The user condenses a large amount of power at the tip of their sword before unleashing it in a large slash of momentum, cutting through the neck of their opponent like butter. The slash is also unpredictable against lower ranked demons as well as Lower moons.

Eighth Form: Quenching Ash ( Hachi no kata: Kuenchinguasshu) The user swiftly bends and contorts their body in order to avoid incoming strikes from their opponents, while unleashing a swift, almost undetectable slash that burns rapidly when placed in mere surface contact with the skin of their opponents.

Ninth Form: Flame Circle (Ku no kata: Fureimusākuru) Similar to the second form of water breathing the user leaps into the air and slashes their blade forwards creating a ring of flame around their enemies weak points slicing through them like butter.

Tenth Form: Phoenix's Dominion ( Jū no kata: Fenikkusu no shihai) The user darts forward at their opponent, making several swift and strong piercing stabs, accumulating consecutive slashes of flames before dashing into the air and diving forwards, slicing the enemy's head clean off.

Eleventh Form: Ascending Flames ( Jū Ichi no kata: Asendingu fureimusu) The most powerful form. The user dashes in blinding speeds and executes multiple strikes almost burning the enemy. The user visualizes themselves engulfed in flames taking the form of a phoenix with bright, burning phoenix-like wings behind them, or rather the user strikes down on an opponent like a comet with a kick (though if done wrong it can cause life-threatening injuries) and slices off an enemies head forming Phoenix wings towards the ground.
