Haru Muramoto

Haru Muramoto (春村本, Muramoto Haru, lit. "Spring Beneath the Valley")

Martial Arts
Haru's main form of combat revolves around the usage of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, specifically the Yang style. It is a Chinese martial art that features slow movements and elegant forms that evoke the feel of flowing water. Rather than supporting a separate set of offensive methods, this martial arts style employs defensive techniques that can be transformed into attacks and counters making an opponent believe they have the upper hand while Haru is actually waiting for the perfect time to throw them off balance and launch a counter. Instead of simply deflecting an attack, Haru's defensive maneuvers focus on control, achieved through turning an opponent's own strength against them, rather than directly harming the inidividual. While his fighting style is mostly fluid with grounded and striking-based attacks, Haru has shown proficiency in takedowns, throws, body-locks, and counter-strikes. His style of combat also is more unorthodox, regularly able to adapt to any situation and use any item or part of the battlefield to his advantage.

Magic
With this Magic, Haru is able to create and manipulate vacuum, the atmospheric region devoid of physical matter and energy. Since air molecules exist within what would be an otherwise empty space, Haru can twist the region of vacuum to manipulate air, creating tornadoes, hurricanes, or reject a portion of the atmosphere in order to create large blasts of air. This magic grants Haru an innate defense against both Fire Magic and Sound Magic, as both require atmospheric air as a medium to function. Haru can absorb air from a given area to cause a massive implosion or to create a Vacuum around an opponent to cause suffocation. Haru can also release the air from a Vacuum in order to create an explosion that can even break through rock.
