Mizuto~
D-rank
Mizuto limped down the alley behind the store, his clothes dirty and ragged. His once-red coat was now a dark maroon, stained with both mud and blood. His heavy gourd, it's sand now half-gone, was littered with cracks, and the soles of his heavy boots now showed his scabby feet. A bottle of sake rested in one hand, Mizuto trying to coax one last sip from it's cold shell.
'This isn't what I planned,' Mizuto reflected on his actions. Rubbing his scruffy beard he had been trying to grow, though now rather patchy and itchy, Mizuto tossed the bottle in a dumpster. 'I thought Iwa could make me a man.' He traced a wound on his arm, bandaged with his torn-off sleeve.
'What I wouldn't give to go back. I need to feel the desert wind, not this. Nothing but rock.' Mizuto reached a hand back into his gourd, pulling out an immaculate metal band. The only thing he cherished in this world, little more than scrap metal. He replaced it back into his gourd.
Mizuto exited the alley and turned onto a crowded street, which meant it would be close to afternoon. Mizuto had walked the building hundreds of times the past week, trying to build his courage. Instead, it lead to a bottle, and him in the gutter.
'Not today. Today's the day.'
He walked around the building again, his dirty prescence carving a way through the crowd. No one wanted to smell his despair, or his unwashed undergarments, or the mixture of both.
Mizuto entered the store, a rather peaceful and serene flower-shop. There were a few women walking through the place, smelling the flowers or looking at seeds. Mizuto turned and closed the door, before he channeled his chakra. Feeling the little sand in his gourd rise up, it burst forth with unrestrained fervor, creating a rather solid defense over the door. Mizuto dropped his coat onto the floor, revealing his scrawny frame, before yelling to get the attention of the shoppers.
"THIS IS A ROBBERY! EVERYONE, GET ON THE GROUND!"

- Chakra-110/130:
- Name: Sand Control
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D-SS
Type: Supplementary
Element: Sabaton
Range: See Description
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: None
Description: This technique allows the user to freely manipulate sand within a certain radius around themselves, simply by willing it to happen. The range and amount of sand the user can manipulate varies depending on the level of the jutsu used. Regardless of the rank used, however, the sand speed stays constant, at 10 metres a second.
This technique has no offensive properties [For example the sand cannot be used to form sharp edges that would hurt on contact, nor to crush someone] and exists solely to allow the user to reposition their sand.
Amount manipulatable, range and Chakra cost:
D-Rank: 5 cubic metres of loose sand within 5 metres of the user. Costs 5 chakra.
C-Rank: 10 cubic metres of loose sand within 10 metres of the user. Costs 5 chakra.
B-Rank: 15 cubic metres of loose sand within 15 metres of the user. Costs 10 chakra.
A-Rank: 20 cubic metres of loose sand within 20 metres of the user. Costs 10 chakra.
S-Rank: 25 cubic metres of loose sand within 25 metres of the user. Costs 15 chakra.
SS-Rank: 30 cubic metres of loose sand within 30 metres of the user. Costs 15 chakra.
Note: this can be changed each post. For example If the user is controlling 15 metres of sand it costs 10 chakra, but if they relinquish 5 meters in the next round, it will only cost 5 chakra.
