PERSONALITY AND MANNERISMS
Sumaki is a slightly brash teenager with a tendency to become emotionally overwhelmed when faced with subjects of a highly personal nature. She will generally seem very even tempered and level headed, trying ( at first ) to deal with any given problem in a logical perceptive. However , this quickly falls wayside when said situation starts to become even mildly frustrating for her. When left to her own devices, others tend to think her a little anti-social, as she tends to avoid large groups of people and activities that involve others. To a greater extent, she may even seem somewhat elitist, as her general interaction with others gives off the impression that thinks they are beneath her notice. This is not truth of the matter however as Sumaki ,by her own admission, simply has trouble relating to 'normal ' people, given her particular lifestyle and circumstances.
Sumaki has been raised to respect traditional Japanese values and social customs as well as American social diction. Likewise , she has been ingrained with a respect for the laws of Bushido and the authority of her elders. Despite this, Sumaki has adapted many American teen-aged views and she is very non-formal when addressing most adults, particularly those she is familiar with[2]

POWERS
In her human form, Sumaki has no true superhuman powers. Credited to her martial arts training, Sumaki possesses abilities that have the given appearance of being superhuman. Sumaki is four times stronger and faster than the average fourteen year old of the same build, height, and weight due to her training, with her strength increasing a little more each day as she matures and grows as a martial artist. Still considered little more than a novice practitioner by her "sister", Sumaki's overall fighting ability is still quite high , as compared to an above average martial artist, especially given her age. Sumaki is considerately more advanced in her swordsmanship than one ( a master swordsman ) would expect as well, her natural aptitude for swordsmanship having given her a distinct edge[3].
When in her enhanced Bioweapon "Messenger" form, Sumaki demonstrates numerous superhuman powers, all of which have either not been seen or have been developed. These powers include::
- Organic Nanite Production : Each of the "Messenger" Bioweapon subjects were created with a specific unique ability unto themselves, in conjunction with their general abilities and powers. In Sumaki's case, her specialized principle ability comes in form of the production of highly adaptable nanoscopic organic machines. These "nanites", which are all created and housed within her armored body, are all essentially miniature extensions of her being rather than actual independent automatons . They have no true autonomous functions and only react,respond, act upon commands given to them by Sumaki[4]. At any given time there are an approximate number of about 500 billion nanites in Sumaki's body, of which 25 billion are lost, destroyed, or used on average during normal everyday activities when in her "Messenger" state. The mini machines receive their power via the electrical network that is Sumaki's "nervous system" when in her "Messenger" form. Sumaki's nanites afford her certain abilities that are unique, even among her "Messenger " brethren:
- Viral Encroachment : Sumaki is able to transfer a varying amount of her organic nanites into a target, "infecting" said target. Depending on the size of the infection payload, Sumaki can perform tasks ranging from simple 'tagging'[5] to full-on override possession, giving her the ability to bend said target to her own will. When infecting a target, Sumaki fully power charges the expedited nanites as they will only be able to remain active for about a period of two standard hours without a suitable external power source to draw from.[6] Sumaki is able to infect practically anything she touches[7], with computer systems being her most often target of such directed infections. It is unknown at present how long Sumaki's nanites can operate separated from her main body,even if a usable source of energy needed for their operation is present. The effectiveness of her infection ability is determined on such factors such as her own mental focus, fatigue, and her chosen target's ability to withstand and/or drive out her nanites.
- Information Assimilation: By infecting her chosen target with an off-loaded mass of nanties via touch, Sumaki is able to "read", retrieve, and partially assimilate[8]any information stored within said target. By having her nanites decode the impulses that make up information transmitted via electricity, Sumaki is able receive and read back the decoded information. As she does not have a full understanding of her ability, of all the transmitted information she receives Sumaki has about a 18% read back error rate. This ability can be used on practically any electrically based system, i.e. computerized locks to data lines to human nervous systems.[9]
- Radio transmission Communication : The nanites that Sumaki produces are able to communicate with each other in two separate fashions: by electrical network and by closed wave radio broadcast. The first is used within Sumaki herself, allowing for speed of thought transmissions to all of her nanites body wide. The second is used when giving instructions or receiving information from her nanites when away from her body. This particular method can also be used to communicate with an infected target, allowing for a type of closed circuit communication network between the infected and Sumaki herself. The exact range of this communication is not yet known but has been seen to extend pass dimensional boundaries, as she often uses this to communicate with Professor Seigfrid Donner of Firebase Zulu when out on exploratory missions within the Shadow Shard. At present Sumaki is able to actively communicate with up to eight people simultaneously via her nanite radio transmission without hampering her focus or other abilities.
- Armored Body : The total transformation into her " Messenger" body can take 2.597 seconds to as long as 30 seconds, depending on factors such as stress, fatigue, mental state. When triggered, an unknown catalyst in Sumaki's genetic makeup releases a yet unidentified mutagenic chemical bodily at an incredible rate. The most visible sign of the process is seen in the complete reformation of Sumaki's epidermis. As the change occurs, Sumaki's entire body, except her hair, is covered in an almost totally jet black substance. While Sumaki's hair is not seemingly covered in the same protective coating as the rest of her body, each individual strand has, in fact, been changed directly into the armored covering. Why the color of her hair does not change as it does with the rest of her body is not known at this time. However, the more vulnerable areas ( i,e, chest, stomach, back, crotch, upper thighs, upper arms, rear ) are covered with an almost fluorescent green version of the same substance that is covering the rest of her body. When completely enclosed, Sumaki's epidermal layer has the surface appearance of interlocking grooved strips. Originally, the substance had a physical composition and properties similar to that of Twaron. However, as she has matured, the nature of her armored epidermis has ,likewise, changed. During a recent study of her abilities ,conducted by Gold Meteor, the black substance covering Sumaki's body has been shown to now have a physical composition comparable to that of Titanium Diboride at its base while still retaining the elasticity of high grade rubber, allowing her to move freely about as she would with her human body. Sumaki's body is able to withstand ballistic punishment up to, and including, 12.7 mm ( .50 AE, .500 S&W,.50 BMG, 12.7 x 108 mm ) caliber rounds , like those fired from a desert eagle or up to a M2 machine gun, with moderate discomfort.With a sufficient continuous barrage, it is possible to breach her outer protective epidermis and cause massive damage up to and including death. Likewise, Sumaki's body is able to withstand temperature extremes, to varying degrees. Her body is able to withstand great heat without blistering ( up to 3200 degrees Fahrenheit / 1760 degrees Celsius ), intense cold without freezing ( down to - 140 degrees Fahrenheit / - 95.5 degrees Celsius ), and atmospheric pressures approaching 32,000 pascals. The transformation into her alternate form is an act of conscious will and cannot be incited without her consent.
- Enhanced Strength and Weight : As natural side effect due to the nature of her armored body and hyper dense population of nanites, Sumaki is far heavier than she would normally be and looks, otherwise. When transformed, Sumaki's body is three times heavier than normal, gaining almost an additional 91 kg ( 200 lbs ) to her frame. This additional weight gives Sumaki higher degree of stability, increasing her overall defensive power. Another benefit, that is in direct relation to her weight, is a significant increase in strength. As a result of her greater weight, Sumaki's muscular structure is reinforced to handle the task of moving and supporting her addition mass. It is because of this her upper and lower body strength are far greater than it would be with her normal human body, especially for a child of her age. Sumaki is able to press ( lift ) an equivalent of 8165 kg ( 18000 lbs ). This, however, does not seem to be her maximum lifting limit. It has been determined that her strength is accumulative in nature, meaning that as her normal human body becomes stronger so does her "Messenger" form in conjunction. It is unknown at this time as to what heights of strength that Sumaki may reach as she matures into adulthood.
- Enhanced Speed :The super humanly powerful muscles in Sumaki's legs allow her to run at speeds greater than that of the finest peak level Olympic athlete. At her normal running speed, Sumaki travels at roughly a rate of 97 km ( 60 mi ) per hour. If needed, Sumaki can also run a higher rates of speeds, approaching 241 kilometers ( 150 mi ) per hour, for up to 1 1/2 hours before she begins fatigue impairs her performance.
- Self Sustainment : Since her epidermis is completely covered, including her face, Sumaki has no nose or mouth when in her " Messenger " form[10] . Sumaki ,when transformed, apparently has little to no need for breathing nor the consumption of food or water. When transformed, Sumaki is apparently completely self sustained. This does not seem to hamper or limit the amount of physical activities that Sumaki can perform, beyond her normal endurance level. This effectively makes Sumaki immune to attacks dealing with gases and air borne poisons. It is unknown whether or not Sumaki takes in nutrients directly from her environment or if she has a self sustaining environmental system within her body. Gold Meteor has tested Sumaki's environmental tolerance limits, using a combination of Vanguard's Hazardous Operations Trial Training Room ( so nicknamed The H.O.T.T Room ), the former's own private research facility, and sorties into the varied regions of the Shadow Shard. Sumaki has been tested in environments ranging from deep sea to airless vacuums. Generally, in most of these tests, Sumaki has been shown to suffer no more ill effects of the environment she was in past the natural conditions existing in each than she would in a normal environment. It is still not positively known whether or not she would be able to survive in such environments indefinitely. When in her "Messenger" form, Sumaki does not produce any bodily waste, produce sweat, nor flake off layers of skin as should in her human form. Since Sumaki does not consume food when transformed, it is not known if her digestive system still functions in this form or if it even exist at all.
- Structural Adaptations : An additional physical adaptation to her "Messenger" form is that of a 1.46 m ( 4 and 3/4 ft )long tail that originates at the base of her spine. This tail is composed of the same dense substance to covers her body and has many of the same durable qualities however, much like her head, the surface of which is covered in a fine layer " hair ", giving it an almost simian appearance. The tail has been found to be prehensile and extremely strong for such a thin appendage. Sumaki's tail is able to, easily, support her own weight, as she is sometimes accustomed to using it as a sitting prop, much in the same fashion as a tripod. Tested ,by using a leverage system, the tail can pull lift approximately 230 kg ( slightly over 500lbs ). As stated before, the tail is prehensile and can manipulate many objects and perform many grabbing, lifting, and holding tasks, with the only limitations being what it can wrap around and the object's weight. Sumaki's control and dexterity with her tail is quite extensive, being capable of perform several tasks at once incorporating her tail( i.e. reading a book while simultaneously writing notes with her tail or juggle three hand sized objects with her tail alone ). Sumaki can even use her tail to brandish a weapon, such as a sword or knife or use it as a weapon itself. Sumaki is able to whip her tail at speeds approaching 56 km ( 35 mi ) per hour, striking with enough force to shatter cinder block. An unique ability, having been seen associated only with the appendage, Sumaki is able to stretch the material of her tail up to an additional 3 feet in length. While this give her a longer reach, it diminishes the grasping and lifting strength of her tail considerably.
- Energy Manipulation : Sumaki has the ability to manifest a unquantifiable field of energy. This field of energy can be manipulated to form a powerful defensive shield. It has yet to be confirmed, but it is believed that all the Messenger bioweapon subjects may be able to produce this energy field. However, with Nephilim - 01 being the one other confirmed case, this is merely speculation. Under optimal conditions, it has been observed that the field has the strength to withstand the explosive effects of armor-piercing bazooka shells ( 20 pounds of high explosives ). However, producing a defensive field of that strength has shown to have an extremely fatiguing affect ,both mentally and physically, on her. At present Sumaki is unable to form a complete protective field around the whole of her body but can produce up to three smaller individual energy fields at, and around any section of her body. The energy field is most effective against light or energy based attacks, having them generally be reflected off her protective shielding but can be used to also repel physical attacks, to a lesser degree.
- Like Nephilim - 01, Sumaki can also manipulate this energy field for attack purposes. She can use this energy field as an offensive weapon to strip similar defenses from other individuals, rendering them vulnerable to more conventional forms of attack[11]. However, in using the field a direct offensive manner, Sumaki differs. While Nephilim - 01 has demonstrated the ability to fashion the energy in such a way as to make it solid enough to use as a bludgeon ( i.e., a hammer or battering ram ), Sumaki can compress this field across and along the length of her swords. By doing this ,she can extend the reach and cutting radius of her sword swings. Likewise, her swords gain an additional slicing force and the power of her strikes are increased to an unmeasured,but far stronger, degree than her normal strikes. Using the energy field in this manner is extremely taxing of Sumaki's body and has only been used when her normal attack methods have been rendered ineffective.
- Sumaki is able to produce a discharge of energy that resembles a laser beam from the optic lenses in her eyes. This ability may be related to the same energy field manipulation that she uses to create her defensive shielding, however this has yet to be completely confirmed. This energy discharge carries both concussive force[12] as well thermal output[13]. At current, it is Sumaki's only long range attack[14], with an effective range of 15 m ( 50 ft ). As she has not been as diligent in mastering this power as she has with her other abilities, Sumaki has very little overall control of the power of her discharge, only being able vary its temperature to a small degree[15].
- Adaptive Camouflage : By mentally causing a shift in the coloration of the top layer of her armored epidermis, Sumaki can effectively ' vanish ' from sight in any environment. In a manner almost exactly of that of a chameleon, Sumaki's armored skin mimics the patterns and coloration from the background she is against, giving the illusion of her 'melting' into her surroundings. The active effect of watching this process is so incredibly seamless that to the average person it seems although she has turned completely invisible. Sumaki's control of this ability is so precise that it is still effective in keeping her hidden from plain sight even while see is moving[16]. The full extent of her ability to mimic her surroundings is unknown but it has been confirmed that Sumaki cannot alter the composition and physical texture of her armored skin,only its coloration.

CHI MANIPULATION
Sumaki is a second level adept of Ying qì ( or more commonly called chi / ki ) manipulation on a six- level scale ( the sixth level being the highest )in this discipline and a first level adept of Yuán qì manipulation on a six- level scale.[17] As all humans are capable of generating chi, Sumaki is able to produce far greater quantities than the average person. It is because of her disciplined training that she can continuously generate excessive quantities of chi ( twice her normal level ) for an average period of approximately 2 hours, after which point, Sumaki's body will have used up it's reserves and will no longer generate chi at it's normal levels until she has rested for an unspecified amount of time.
At present time, Sumaki is able to manipulate her chi in a variety of methods, many of which add to and boost her overall physical performance. These chi manipulated boosts in her physical activities allow Sumaki to operate on almost superhuman levels. Much like her older "sister", Sumaki can channel her chi into the rapid regeneration of wounds ( minor ones being healed at a greater rate than major ones ). Despite appearances to the contrary or speculation of her abilities, Sumaki cannot use her chi manipulation abilities to project the " traditional fireball ". Most of Sumaki's manipulation of chi is internal and not wholly visible, with the most notable exceptions being the active glowing gold tinge to her normally brown eyes. One of the most notable usages of her chi manipulation is Sumaki's ability to see and track specific chi signatures, a skill taught to her by her "sister", Maki. By touching another person, she is able to " ignite " that person's well of bodily chi energy. In this manner, Sumaki is able to " see " where that person is without the use of her eyes, using only a mental tether as a guide. As no two chi signatures are exactly alike, Sumaki is able to follow one with relative ease up to two hours before the signature's trail starts to dissipate.
MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING
Sumaki possesses a growing amount of abilities stemming from her practice of her father's Japanese"Iron Wolf" Kenpo, and several Chinese martial arts , most notably Gōngfū ( in western cultures called " Kung- Fu) ", Shaolinquan ( Shaolin - style martial arts ), and Wushu, all of which are being taught to her by Maki Aikawa. Her abilities can be broken down into two categories: Internal and External.
EXTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS
The usage of Wàijia ( external or "hard style" ) martial arts is rooted in her teachings based on a number of different schools of Japanese and Chinese disciplines but are mainly sourced from her tutelage in her father's martial art practice, Okamiken Tetsu Kempō . Many of Sumaki's signature techniques are from this school of martial arts.
Okamiken Tetsu Kempō ( lit. Wolf Fist Iron Kempō ): Iron Wolf Fist Kempō ( 鉄のオオカミの握りこぶしKempō ) ( RP )
- Okamiken Tetsu Kempō or, loosely translated, "Iron Wolf Fist" is a Japanese Martial Art developed in mid 17th century Japan by a traveling vagabond named Shirōmastu Nōbutaki. Nōbutaki had bartered passage on a ship sailing to the main continent of China in exchange for indentured servitude as a ship hand one of the many Red seal ships sailing during that time period. He had been only two weeks in his travels in the southern region when he was attacked and left for dead by a gang of roaming thieves. Luckily, he was found by a small group of monks returning to their monastery from a trading trip with the local major city. These monks took Nōbutaki back to their monastery and nursed him back to health. During his recovery, Nōbutaki became enamored with the daily practices of the monks in what he would later describe to his students as " The great mountains made flowing flesh, unyielding, unbreakable, yet gentle and without malice ". He was referring to the martial arts practiced by the monks and how they seemed to belie a tremendous amount of power behind seemingly harmless movements. After he had healed, Nōbutaki decided to stay with the monks for an additional two years, learning the essence and foundation meditation and self defense techniques from what was a blend of Bak Mei and Southern Praying Mantis. After Nōbutaki left the monastery, he then traveled most of the rest of the southern region of China and a good deal of the Middle Kingdom, continuing his education in the great martial arts of the main continent. It would not be another eighteen years before he would finally return to his homeland of Japan, having amassed a great deal of knowledge and techniques from his many travels. He would go on to open a school in the teachings of the first and his most loved of martial styles learned and modified to encompass the totality of his journeys, Bak Mei. It is primarily from the teachings of Bak Mei that Okamiken Tetsu Kempō was born. Shirōmastu Nōbutaki would go to teach his new martial art to both males and females ( which was unheard of generally during this time period )until a ripe old age, having opened several school across Japan. However, after time, some of his students began using their teachings to commit horrible crimes and spread fear. It was because of the unusual strength gained by learning the martial art and the fact that it was based from a Chinese martial art that the Tokugawa shogunate banned all practice of this martial art with any found still doing so to be punished by death, usually by beheading. Although sadden by some of his students dishonoring of his teachings, Nōbutaki still continued to instruct to those who still wanted to learn, believing that the purity of this martial art would be recognized instead of shunned because of the action of a few. This was not the case however and the shogunate issued an order for his immediate death. It was thanks to the efforts of one of his star pupils, Hideaki Aikawa, that Nōbutaki was hidden away in a remote mountain region where he would spend his last days instructing Aikawa in the highest secrets of Okamiken Tetsu Kempō, with the wish that he keep the martial one now only to be practiced by Hideaki and his descendants. Ten years after Shirōmastu Nōbutaki's death, the practice of Okamiken Tetsu Kempō was all but extinguished by the Tokugawa shogunate. Hideaki Aikawa would go on to train in the martial art , passing along the knowledge to his descendants, with the instructions that none but members of the main branch of the Aikawa family would be able to learn it and that eldest child of the generation would be responsible for its safe keeping and continued tutelage. In present day, Maki Aikawa is the oldest known living practitioner of the original martial art, now currently instructing her younger "sister", Sumaki.
- As Okamiken Tetsu Kempō was developed as a combination of Shirōmastu Nōbutaki's knowledge of Bak Mei and his many travels, it contains both elements of internal and external principles in it's dogma that allow it to be an adaptable martial art. So while the main bulk of its teachings and techniques are based in the external school of thought, it allows allows for the cultivation of a deeper internal power that can only be achieved by understanding the internal martial art principles that help make its foundation. Like Bak Mei, Okamiken Tetsu Kempō also concentrates on its classification of the following 6 powers: biu (thrusting), chum (sinking), tan (springing), fa (neutralizing), tung, and chuk. However, Shirōmastu Nōbutaki preferred to focus on the powers of biu (thrusting) and fa (neutralizing)in his teachings, therefore granting a practitioner of the art an amazing striking strength. Likewise, while the original focused on the movements and power of the tiger, Nōbutaki instead used the cunning and overall collective power of the wolf as his template. At present, Sumaki 's tutelage in Okamiken Tetsu Kempō is not fully complete and has yet to be taught the higher level techniques of the martial art.
- Collapser Tempo ( RP ) : Thanks to her constant training and conditioning, Sumaki has mastered a shoulder-originating rapid punching combo that is able to strike an opponent so quickly it appears that a multitude of fists are attacking all at once. This is an Wàijia( external ) technique because of the fact that the power and speed of this strike comes purely from the muscles in the user's arms, not from a usage of chi.[18] This technique is also known by the name " Thousand Fists of the Fang ".
- Collasper Beat ( RP ) : With extensive conditioning and personal self- training, Sumaki has developed a close ranged rapid kicking attack. Sumaki has trained to the point where she can deliver an assault of 6 kicks per second, with the attack often varying in target range from the head to the lower legs. Generally, Sumaki will attack in burst of about 3 to 4 seconds however, she is currently capable of maintaining this attack for a full 15 seconds.[19]. With this technique, her favorite target point is usually head. The strength of this attack is rooted in the incredible power in Sumaki's leg muscles and her precise striking, maximizing the effectiveness of her kicks.
- Iron Hunter ( RP ):This kicking technique utilizes the full power of the leg muscles to deliver a powerful flying round house kick to the head.If used in a non-lethal capacity,when connected properly, this kick can send a man, weighing roughly 136 kg ( equal to about 300 lbs.), cross a distance of 50 yards of point of impact.[20]
- Iron Mountain Body ( RP ):This technique is based in self-hypnosis and mental conditioning. Hardening of the body tissue to absorb more damage is achieved through a self imposed hypnosis that allows the user to unlock the body's potential to become " as strong as a mountain of steel ". The body becomes able to withstand a far more greater amount of blunt force and, to a lesser extent, piercing damage. The user of this technique has also conditioned their minds to not so much ignore the pain of physically being struck but to work past the pain, direct it as so not to so hamper their focus. This should not, however, be mistaken for a form of invulnerability. It is merely a reinforcement of absolute muscle control. The user of this technique is still susceptible to many of same dangers and human frailties as any other non-combat oriented human.[21]Iron Mountain Body is a modified technique derived of the Chinese martial art Pāidagōng,also known as Qigong.
- Pinwheel Needle ( RP ) : By using a combination of Karate and Jujitsu, Sumaki will perform a Jujitsu style twisting side Fireman's Carry to her opponent,as a countermeasure to a physical attack. Using the leverage she gained and the still forward motion of her captured opponent, she tosses her target up into the air, causing them to spin much in the same fashion of a pinwheel in the wind. Sumaki will then perform a devastating reverse spinning hook kick into a straight kick to her still airborne opponent, generally causing a good deal of damage to whatever part of her opponent's body she strikes.[22]
INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTS
The usage of Nèijiā ( internal or "soft style" ) Martial arts is rooted in her teachings based upon many Chinese martial arts, such as Bāguàzhǎng,T'ai_Chi_Ch'uan,and Xíngyìquán. It is because of her manipulation of her chi, or life energy [ which all humans generate to varying degrees ], Sumaki is able to perform feats of physical prowess that seem to be superhuman in nature, especially for a child. Through an act of concentration, Sumaki can direct a portion or all of this energy to any point of her body or to her whole body simultaneously. Due to her current skill level, Sumaki has yet to unlock the potentially unlimited well of universal chi that only few grand masters have been able to tap into. She is still, however, a formidable opponent for her age, with many applications still to be learned as she advances. Listed here are a number of the techniques that she has been able to learn to utilize.
- Shadow of the Wind ( RP ): By using a special breathing method, which allows her to use less oxygen then normally needed when running and directing the flow of her chi into her legs and tendons, Sumaki is able to run with superhuman light foot over long expanses. This technique resembles the classic power of superhuman speed. With this technique, Sumaki can travel long distances without the need of transportation. Sumaki can even use the technique to run across the surface tension of water, providing that she has full concentration of her breathing and using a specific stepping method that allows her not to break the water's surface tension. Sumaki can even carry a load up to 50 kg ( roughly 110 lbs ) as she travel across the surface of the water by evenly displacing her weight across the entire surface of the sole of her feet, granted at a slower pace than she would without the additional weight. The rate of travel at which Sumaki forwardly moves depends on the amount of chi directed through her legs. This action takes very little chi to perform, due to her continued training, and can be used constantly by Sumaki.[23]
- Cloud Ladder ( RP ):By directing to the flow of chi into her leg muscles and tendons, Sumaki is able to jump to heights normally unattainable by normal physical standards[24]. This ability is often employed when trying to reach areas which only those with flight powers could easily get to. This action takes a moderate amount chi to perform, becoming easier with continued training, and can be used constantly by Sumaki.[25]
- Burst Break ( RP ): Wanting to distinguish herself more from her "sister", Sumaki modified this technique from Maki's Soul Palm Burst to be her own. By channeling and focusing chi directly into her clenched fist, Sumaki can explosively release it outward, upon impact, into a target. The delivery of the attack normally comes in the form of a power straight punch. The concentrated burst of directed chi will , not only, forcibly push an unanchored impacted target backwards but, against weaker opponents, will also render them unconscious .[26]
EXCEED
Exceed ( RP ): Sumaki has developed an ability to, for very short spans of time, to "overcharge" her maximum chi production capacity, thereby exponentially increasing her physical performance to unknown degrees. This ability is very similar to Maki's "Overdrive Hunt" technique,with two major differences. The first difference is that this technique is purely a Nèijiā ( internal ) technique, totally unreliant on Sumaki's physical strength. The second difference is the level of danger in performing this technique is nowhere as extreme as with "Overdrive Hunt". However, due to the fact it does not critically draw on power as much as produce it, the "Exceed" technique is not as powerful in force or lengthy in duration. The detrimental side effects of utilizing this technique are intensely physically draining and mentally taxing, as it requires a extensive amount of direct focus to continue. The "Exceed" technique is most often used to augment the strength of her basic attacks or to perform 'special' techniques that she would not normally be able to execute.
- Sumaki Unlimited ( RP ) : This technique is somewhat similar to the classic ninjitsu skill of "multiple replication ", where the user seemingly creates a number of indistinguishable copies of themselves[27]. Sumaki will channel a incredibly concentrated amount of chi into her speed, allowing to move fast enough to create the image multiple copies of herself[28]. However, unlike an actual illusion, Sumaki's doubles carry weight and are able to physically strike a target. Sumaki can maintain this technique for a duration of 15 seconds before she begins to tire, losing the necessary focus to keep it active [29] .
- Golden Hunter ( RP ): This technique is the chi enhanced version of the "Iron Hunter" technique. The name comes from the seemingly golden glow that surrounds the lower half of Sumaki's leg when she is attacking an opponent. The exact extent of augmentation to this technique has not been measured however it can be assumed that the strength is increased by at least double that of the original. While this particular technique is a quite powerful it is also extremely damaging to Sumaki's body to repeatedly, the stress placed upon both her skeletal and muscular systems comparable to the shock of being hit by a moving vehicle.
WEAPONS TRAINING
Under her father's tutelage, Sumaki has been learning the art of Kenjutsu, primarily from the school of Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu,using Nito Seiho, which emphasizes the use of her katana and wakizashi together. Sumaki has been practicing the fundamentals Niten Ichi for over 6 years now and has become quite proficient, already having absorbed the core teachings of the sword art at an early age. While she is far from being considered a master, Sumaki has proven herself to be a natural swords woman. She continues to study the principles of Hyoho Niten Ichi-ryu and practices ,at least, one hour everyday. This, along with her normal martial arts training regime, has boosted her overall reflexes and strength significantly pass that of a child her equal age,weight, and height.
Sumaki has used three different sets of swords in her sword art. The first are a katana and wakizashi set given to her by her father. These unnamed swords were made specifically for Sumaki's size and both are engraved her name at the base of each blade in kanji. The second set of swords are extended katanas that were given to her by her 'sister',Maki. These katanas are forged of impervium and are virtually indestructible, only being able to be sharpened and/or damaged quantum shapers or other weapons made of an equal or higher grade of the metal. The third set are the sentient swords that can be manifested when Sumaki transforms in to her "Messenger" form.
Due to the city area where Sumaki lives, she cannot constantly carry her swords with her. To compensate for this, Sumaki has trained herself in the usage of combat knives. As she feels 'naked' without her bladed weaponry, Sumaki wears a harness underneath her everyday clothing, which allows her to conceal her knives behind her back. Much like her swordplay, Sumaki is well adapted to both single and dual wield combat with her knives allowing her to engage a similarly armed opponent or opponents.
PARAPHERNALIA
When she was younger, Sumaki would carry a traditionally made set of Japanese swords, crafted customary for her size. This set comprised one Japanese long sword, a katana, and one Japanese short sword, a wakizashi. These were unnamed swords given to her by father, Haikaido Aikawa. These swords are of a high grade of refined Spanish steel and are partially extra strengthened in their spines for enhanced durability. Both swords were weighted and scaled for Sumaki's proportions and use as a child. As she continues to age, new swords will be made for her to adjust to her skill level and size. Of note, both swords are engraved with Sumaki's full name in kanji script at the base of each blade. Other than the engravings, the swords, themselves, are common ones and posses no supernatural or superhuman powers.
Later on, Sumaki came to start wielding a pair of Impervium katanas. These particular swords actually belonged to Maki , given to her as a birthday present from Toy Dispenser on her nineteenth birthday. Each blade is approximately 3 and 1/2 feet long with a single sharpened edge. The blades posses a blue seen to their surface due to the process and mold they were fashioned in. Generally, Sumaki will wear both blades in sheathes attached to the back of her battle uniform. However, she does have a special belt harness that allows her to wear both swords on her left hip.
When in her "Messenger" form, Sumaki uses two long swords of indeterminable origin and classification. The swords are produced from Sumaki's body itself and can be manifested at any time when she is in her altered form. While the hilts of each sword is similar, the actual blades of said swords are different colors,one being a crimson red and the other a deep sky blue. As described, they have the exterior appearance of a high grade metal alloy, however, the swords are not actually made of any metal known to man, but are literally physical extensions of Sumaki's will. The swords names are Morukumo and Shinkai and both appear to be sentient, each with a distinct personality.
Sumaki, for a long time, simply relied on her " Messenger " form as a costume when on patrol. After she hit puberty, Sumaki felt that she needed to fight more in her human form, in the mindset of improving her martial arts ability. As such, and to honor her teacher, Sumaki decided to have a slightly modified version of Maki's battle uniform made for herself. Sumaki wears a black short sleeved full top, made from a spandex/ fine steel mesh blend, to allow for greater resilience. A similar blend ( one of cotton and fine steel mesh ) was used in the creation of her trousers. The design of her clothing was intended to give Sumaki the range of movement she needed and the capacity to survive a particularly rough beating. Both the top and trousers are flame resistance, highly tear proof, and mildly insulated against mid range electrical discharges. The whole of the uniform remains unchanged from the original that Maki wore, with three minute differences. The first being that Sumaki refused to show her mid drift with a belly tee, thus the full cover shirt. The second is that Sumaki has added a sleeveless vest to the uniform. The vest is made of the same material as her trousers, white with a black trim on the collar and lining the outer ridges. The third alteration to the uniform is the addition of a twin sword belt, which is worn to allow the handles of both of Sumaki's swords to face to her left.
Sumaki also wears her own pair of compression-formed bracers, made from a mixture of Hard carbon and Semi- pure Onyx. The bracers extend from the edge of her wrists to the end of her forearm. The bracers can be used as shielding , mainly from opponents with bladed weapons,and also as bludgeons. The bracers have the material hardness of reinforced steel without the metallic properties. Sumaki's bracers have both been imprinted with the engraving of a wolf's head silhouette near the top of the cuffs.
MORUKUMO
Morukumo is Sumaki's blue- bladed sword and is normally held in her left hand. He describes himself as Sumaki's " will of compassion " ,or, more accurately, her " willingness to want to help or defend ". He goes on the describe that: " the more Sumaki wishes to want to help, the sharper i become to defend that which she holds dear ". Morukumo's personality is that of a refined gentleman who normally speaks in a proper manner, always mindful and polite, unless provoked otherwise[30]. Always at Sumaki's beck and call, Morukumo tries to guide Sumaki when she has doubts or questions and wants nothing more than to help his master to remain safe and happy. Sumaki's well being is always his first and second and last priority. Apart from the color of his blade, Morukumo has the same design as his twin brother, Shinkai. Morukumo will obey any command given to him by Sumaki, without question, unless that command ,in any way,will put Sumaki in immediate danger or risk. Used in conjunction with Shinkai, Morukumo is used to create defense techniques:
Reflecting Flash: By quickly swinging Morukumo in a downward horizontal slashing movement, Sumaki is able to create a temporary vacuum of air in the swing's wake. This pocket vacuum provides a cushion by which incoming inertial force can be negated, thereby allowing the actual swing of the blade to successfully deflect oncoming projectiles. The extreme speed of the slash itself produces an illusionary blue trailing glow to the blade.
Soul Lock: This defensive technique has the outward appearance of a frontal attack when, in fact, it is a non-lethal tactic to subduing Sumaki's opponent without harming them. Sumaki will dash straight at her target, doing her best to dodge any counter attack until she is within sword striking distance. When within range, Sumnaki will thrust Morukumo[31] into her opponent[32], normally trying to pin them to either a wall or the ground. As long as Morukumo remains attached to that person's body part , and or shadow of the same, the target cannot move said body part.
Gradient Barrier: This particular technique is one based on echo location. If, in the event, Sumaki would find herself shrouded within complete darkness or blinded somehow, she would slap the flat sides of both her sword blades together, after which inserting Morukumo ,blade first, into the ground until the tip of his hilt was about at navel level with Sumaki. The unique properties of Morukumo's 'metal' would produce a cascading circumference of vibrational energy. The wave is 'seen' to Sumaki as a 5 layered type early warning, each layer a separate color and each color a varying danger rating[33]. Anything coming within the detection radius of the barrier is reflected as a color disturbance, allowing Sumaki to gain an estimate of where and how far her opponent is from her central location.[34]
Unity Maximum: By joining the end of their hilts together, Sumaki bonds both Morukumo and Shinkai into a singular weapon. When combined in this fashion, they become a versatile dual ended weapon that now can be thrown, giving it long ranged attack capabilities as well as increased defensive properties when used in close quarters.
SHINKAI
Shinkai is Sumaki's red- bladed sword and is normally held in her right hand. Shinkai states that he is Sumaki's " will of violence " , or ,more accurately, her " will to fight and defeat all that stand against her ". He further states that : " the more we fight together,the deeper i cut, the stronger we come and those idiots stupid enough to stand in our way get mowed down like the insignificant insects they are !! ". Shinkai's personality is extremely abrasive and crass and speaks ,usually, in a very disrespectful tone, often coming off as a thuggish brute who only cares for disorder[35]. He is quick to insult all those he considers weak and beneath him ( which is practically everyone, with the exception of Sumaki )and will actively point out their faults. On the other side of this, Shinkai hates when other demean him in any way and will, almost automatically, threaten any who do ( again , with the exception of Sumaki ). Shinkai wants nothing more than to fight. This want even takes priority over Sumaki's safety at times. However, all appearances to the contrary, Shinkai does care for her safety and sense of self. He will adamantly defend Sumaki's honor and pride as a warrior and then will proceed to verbally chastise the offending party. Like his twin brother, Morukumo, Shinkai will , even if he disagrees, listen and follow Sumaki's commands. Used in conjunction with Morukumo, Shinkai is used to create attack techniques:
Twin Arc Flashing: By quickly swinging both swords rotational clockwise in one complete circular arc, Sumaki is able to create thin vacuum of air which expands in radius, in accordance with the strength of the swing, and cuts through practically any force it meets. The extreme speed of this dual swing creates an illusionary ring of golden light[36]. This technique is a close to medium range attack, mainly used in a multi-opponent or crowd scenario.
Divided Paths: Swinging Shinkai in an upward arc, using the totality of her arm strength in the swing, Sumaki creates a funnel wave of high pressured wind. This wave travels forward in a straight line, its path being ripped up as it runs its course, literally dividing in half what comes in front of it. The technique is a mid range to long range attack. While this particular attack is designed to be most effective when performed in contact with the ground, it can be utilized as an aerial projectile as well.[37]
All Return to Dust: By utilizing an combination of both precise and random sword thrust and swings in conjunction with an inhuman attack speed,Sumaki performs a full frontal standing assault on a singular target. The rate of speed of the attack is so great that Sumaki's arms seemingly disappear from plain view while the only visible conformation of her swords come in the form of purple slash paths generated by the mixed red and blue hues of the blades. The attack is designed to decimate its intended target however Sumaki can exercise enough overall control to only severely cripple rather than destroy.
UNUSUAL FEATURES
When in her "Messenger" form, Sumaki has no mouth, nose, or visible ear structures. Yet, somehow, she can still seem to speak and hear sounds. If she can still smell odors in this form, Sumaki has not made any indication that she could. The individual strands of hair on Sumaki's head when transformed are not actual hair but hair-thin strands of the same armored material that covers her entire body. Her feet are as one whole in themselves rather than each having individual toes. Also, when in her "Messenger" form, Sumaki possesses a 4 and 1/2 foot long tail that looks simian in appearance and it is prehensile. When in her "Messenger" form, Sumaki's eyes glow incandescently, giving them a sometime unearthly feel.
RELATIONSHIPS
- Lumena - The woman known as ' Lumena ' has always been a pillar in Sumaki's life. There is very little that Sumaki would not do or lengths she would take to please her. Sumaki's childhood admiration of Lumena has crossed over into her teenage years and has grown to include an overzealous infatuation, actually physically assaulting just about anyone who insults her hero within earshot. This has lead to many a misunderstanding and many a fight for young Sumaki, with her being scolded a couple of times by Lumena herself.
- Maki Aikawa ( alternate twenty-five year old version of herself ) - Both Maki and Sumaki try to get along with each other as best as two people who are technically the same person can. Since the time Sumaki has come under her charge, Maki has constantly tried to raise her "younger sister" with the values and lessons that helped mold her but, at the same time, giving Sumaki the space she needs to develop on her own. Likewise, Sumaki is trying her best to live up to the example that her "older sister" has set without feeling that she is literally becoming Maki , losing any sense of her own individuality. Truly , they have become sisters in almost every sense of the word.
- Gold Meteor - Teacher, Drill instructor, menace to her innocence. Gold Meteor has become all these things and a little more. If it is not the constant teasing about her developing body or shyness around certain boys AND girls, Gold Meteor mercilessly hammers knowledge pertaining to quantum mathematics into the young woman. Sumaki's fear of Gold Meteor is only matched with her begrudging respect for her. Living under the same roof with the golden heroine, Sumaki has even come to have, not only, share her mentor's scientific mindset but also some of her personality traits as well.
- Nephilim-01 - Few people have left such an impression with Sumaki as the walking tank called Nephilim-01. As a child, Sumaki enjoyed this large humanoid as a thing of wonder. Now, as a teenager, that wonder has not faded from Sumaki's mind as she is helped trained by Nephilim to help develop and master her Bio-weapon abilities. She hopes that one day she will be able to stand toe to toe with Nephilim in a fight, mainly just for the bragging rights that she has stood up to one of the strongest people she knows.
- Mercy.Killing - Sumaki's "older brother" is still very active in her life, despite his many off- world and on- world abroad excursions. Happy to come to Mercy when she has a personal problem that she cannot even discuss with her "sister", Sumaki looks to him as the mountain of calm and strength that he has always been to her.
- Labal - Always a welcome sight to the young woman, the Ashen High Demon King Labal is not what you would or who you would expect to be, especially considering he is a being whose ultimate goal is the destruction of all things livings. For what ever reason, Labal treats Sumaki with an genuine affection naturally unbecoming of a demon of his standing. Sumaki is not oblivious of her friend's nature or his reputation as the ' King of Lies ', however, none of that dissuades her own personal view and mutual affection for the Hellspawn, often with her seen treating him as if he were something of an older brother, much to the dismay of those around them.
- Haley Hadron - This young woman from the group of children collectively known as "The Nuclear Ninety", whom Sumaki met while " testing out Gold's time travel theory", is for all purposes Sumaki's only real friend around her own age. Haley reminds Sumaki A LOT of Gold Meteor in her mannerisms, tact, and general attitude. Although she is loathed to admit it to anyone, it grants her a bit of comfort of 'normalcy' that she enjoys. Unfortunately, Haley also acts like Gold Meteor in the same manner as the latter does with Sumaki's "older sister", Maki , as she does with her. So this is a constant source of physical aggravation and emotional turmoil for Sumaki as she is still trying to gain an understanding of her own sexuality.
- Jamie Blackthorne - Sumaki has known Jamie since she was eight years old and, equally, has had a crush on him just as long. Jamie's own background as a human weapon developed for warfare was a common point in the pair's beginning friendship, blossoming into a mutual like for one another[38]. Sumaki grew up, now fifteen years old, with her puppy dog like crush evolving into a full blown one, constantly following the exploits of her romantic interest, Jamie now twenty-one years old. Now that Sumaki has encountered Jamie again in the past, her feelings for him resurfaces as both that initial puppy dog love and very confusing tingling in her chest whenever she sees him. Like with Haley, Jamie is a major source sexual confusion for Sumaki.
And these are some of the good people Sumaki calls friends:
(( feel free to at your name to the friends list if you know Sumaki ))
WEAKNESSES AND LIMITATIONS
Despite all her powers and abilities, Sumaki is not immortal nor is she invulnerable. In her human form, Sumaki has many the same frailties and weaknesses that most humans share commonly. While she has yet to actual contract any known virus, Sumaki can still become sick due to factors such as overeating, poisonous substances and or chemicals, or, even, white radishes, of which she is deathly allergic too.
Sumaki has a very short and exremely quick temper when either the subject of her family or Lumena are brought into a negative light. Although she is surley by her teenaged nature, Sumaki is generally calm. Her aspirations to be the heroine her 'sister' was sometimes fall short due to her temper. While this would be no different normally from any other teenaged outburst, Sumaki tends to transform to her "Messenger" form out of habit in response to her anger.

TRIVIA
IN CHARACTER
Did you know that...
- Sumaki is quick to temper when either her family or Lumena are the subject of insult or ridicule
- Sumaki's metabolism and digestive system cannot properly break down nor digest most forms of red meat ( mainly beef ), becoming very quickly ill if eaten. This is a problem as she often forgets this and tries to eat hamburgers without thinking.
- Sumaki is 1/16 Irish on her mother's side
- There is a natural curl to a tuft of hair on the back of Sumaki's head. This curl, oddly, cannot be straightened.
- Due to her mother being poisoned with a blow fish toxin right before her birth, Sumaki was born with a natural immunity it. Likewise, this immunity also renders her blood mildly poisonous to others, making her unable to donate blood or give blood transfusions to any but her own self.
- Sumaki has never contracted the flu or had a cold.
- Sumaki has an irrational fear of ghosts and most spirits
- Sumaki is a math prodigy ,with an intuitive ability to solve highly complex mathematical equations in mere moments
- One of Sumaki's favorite snack foods are french fries
- Sumaki's favorite flavor of ice cream is strawberry
- Sumaki's favorite candy is Jolly Ranchers, with cherry being her favorite flavor
- When Irudiel is in full control, her thoughts are in binary and she does not talk
- While her GPA is high enough to advance her forward several grades, Both Maki and Gold Meteor have asked her school to keep in the young girl in her proper grade as they feel she needs the interaction with students around her own age
- Sumaki's favorite American band is My Chemical Romance
- When either highly frustrated or excited[39], Sumaki tends to speak alarmingly fast, words coming out sounding like one long run-on rather than understandable sentences.
OUT OF CHARACTER
- Sumaki has become something of an experiment in evolution. That is to say that I am enjoying seeing the progression of Sumaki from a child to pre-teen to actual teenager. This has given me a nice opportunity to play around with her personality as she matures. The greatest thing about this is watching her ever-changing surface values go through the trials and labors of growing up while still maintaining the core values she had learned early on in her life. From living with her father as a child, under his direction and watchful eye, to living with Maki and Hannah as a teenager, the years that will shape her as an adult to come. Every time I look at Sumaki the more I am so glad I decided against deleting her.
Footnotes
- ↑ mildly poisonous to most other baseline humans if exposed via ingestion or transfusion
- ↑ the most notable exceptions , of whom Sumaki always shows the proper respect for, in speaking or in person, are: Lumena, Haikaido Aikawa ( her father ), Tamako Honda ( her mother ), Mr. & Mrs. Jowlsanski ( her elderly next door neighbors ), and Professor Seigfried Donner ( head of scientific studies and research at Firebase Zulu )
- ↑ this statement does not translate as Sumaki being a child prodigy of swordsmanship ,just that she has fairly keen talent for the art
- ↑ keep in mind that while Sumaki treats her nanites as separate entities they are ALL, in actuality, herself spread out among each of the miniature constructs
- ↑ a term used in describing placing a tracking device on a particular target
- ↑ in cases where her nanites are to be used in a long term capacity,i.e. longer than two hours, away from her own body, Sumaki will designate a number of nanites as power converters, adapting whatever available electrical source within range for a usable power to be transmitted to the other nanites in that same group. This merely extends the amount of active run time that Sumaki's nanites may operate separated from her core body and does not give them the ability to function indefinitely.
- ↑ the infection transfer is a conscious act and does not happen automatically when she touches another object
- ↑ When Irudiel is in dominant control, she has full control of this particular ability. Sumaki does not have full control over this ability due to the way her brain functions. As Sumaki believes that her brain still operates as organic when in her "Messenger" form, it has the limitations of such,hampering the full capability of her assimilation ability. It is because of this 'limitation' that Sumaki can only retain the information she gains for a short time, where as Irudiel seemingly can hold on to the same information indefinitely
- ↑ a seemingly major limitation to this ability is the fact Sumaki cannot use this ability within the medium of any large body of water
- ↑ Through some yet to be determined manner, Sumaki can communicate with people around her as easily as she would normally, despite the lack of a mouth to do so with. Those around her can hear Sumaki, but it is not known ,whether or not, if her speech is heard through audio wavesor a form of telepathy. It should be noted that Sumaki still gestures normally as she speaks, even in her altered form.
- ↑ not to the same degree of control and usage as Nephilim himself
- ↑ equivalent to 9 kg( roughly 20 lbs) of TNT
- ↑ temperatures approaching 950 degrees Fahrenheit / 510 degrees Celsius
- ↑ in either form
- ↑ Sumaki has not learned how to manually control the amount of concussive force behind her ocular discharge so all attacks with it hit with the same impact strength regardless if that is what was needed
- ↑ this ability is not completely full-proof as with any person who is trained in spotting differences in their surroundings or has impeccable eye sight ,such as Lumena, would notice Sumaki if she were moving while camouflaged
- ↑ The highest level ever attained by a human being has been the fifth, granting the user almost demigod-like abilities.
- ↑ The "Flurry" power from the "Speed" power set is used as basis for this Role Play ability
- ↑ The actual strength and duration of this attack is dependent on factors such as Sumaki's balance, strength level, and focus. Likewise, another determining factor in this attack is whether or not Sumaki is performing it when airborne or when she is grounded. The power of the attack ,at this point in Sumaki's training, is strongest when performed from a balanced position on the ground
- ↑ The "Storm kick" power from the " Martial Arts" power set is used as the basis for this Role Play ability
- ↑ The "Dull pain" power from the "Will Power" power set is used as the basis of this Role Play ability
- ↑ Again, Sumaki's favorite target in this case is her opponent's head
- ↑ The "Super Speed" power form the "Speed" power set is used for this Role Play ability
- ↑ Originally, Maki refused to teach Sumaki this particular technique ,as she believed Sumaki "not ready for the responsibility". However,much like Maki when she self taught herself "The Phoenix Gate" technique, Sumaki decided to teach herself the 'Cloud Ladder',making note of how her older "sibling" performed it. As such, Sumaki's version of the 'Cloud Ladder ' technique slightly differs from the original
- ↑ The "Super Jump" power from the "Leaping" power set is used for this Role Play ability
- ↑ Unlike the technique from which it is based, this revised technique works both on living and non-living targets, however it does not posses the same capacity to affect a living target's internal workings as the original
- ↑ Sumaki basically copied the idea from her favorite television program 'MechaHiro',watching one of the show's characters perform the move and wanted to make one just like it. Added, this technique is one of four that Sumaki has created using her fictional hero as a basis
- ↑ When performing this technique, the bodies of both Sumaki and her copies will glow with a golden shine
- ↑ This technique can be performed only while Sumaki is employing her " Exceed ability "
- ↑ even then he is unflappably polite
- ↑ As a note of reference, Morukumo is primarily a defensive weapon and is not used to actually cause harm to his targets. When being used in an offensive manner,he is used as either the setup strike or the capture feint. While Morukumo does not inflict wounds in the same manner as Shinkai, his defensive abilities are far greater than the former's. Morukumo can directly be used to attack a person's is a person's 'killing intent'. By Sumaki using Morukumo to pin down a person's 'killing intent', she can effectively pin said person to the spot. Sumaki merely likes using the shock of her stabbing her target to throw them off balance, giving her ample time to make her strike with Shinkai, knowing full well that even if she thrust Morukumo through her opponents' hearts, it would do nothing to actually harm them
- ↑ Aiming for whatever body part , if not the body itself, needed for the strike
- ↑ the farthest layer being seen as blue while the closest layer is seen as red, going in sequence: blue, green, yellow, orange and then red
- ↑ Sumaki needs to be touching Morukumo to receive the "early warning" return echo in order to act upon it
- ↑ although it hidden by his primarily rude nature , Shinkai's intelligence is the equal of Morukumo's
- ↑ this particular technique is used to attack a large number of opponents surrounding her
- ↑ the functional strength of this technique comes from a grounded foundation, allowing the user to put their full weight behind the attack. When performed in the air, there is little to no foundation to allow for a proper full strength swing
- ↑ Jamie was fourteen when he first met the eight year old Sumaki
- ↑ more the latter than the former
