Haki Development - Bryce5015

Key: Bryce5015
Character: Suffi
Applying for: Haki

Reasoning(Includes TLDR below): Sometimes there are battles that are realistically unwinnable, but that wasn't always the case, upon receiving Senketsu, Suffi had a physical guardian to help protect her at the cost of her own blood, allowing her to do more than just protect herself, but seemingly make a difference on the Miasma ridden planet, something she started the early years off with no ambition for since she just wanted to be generally helpful.

She's bonded, spoken to, and brought out her and Senketsu's strongest performance, they were seemingly an unstoppable duo, but as weapon soul users gained legendary blades, Demons running around with immense chaotic power, Killing styles that grew incredibly efficient and deadly, Super Saiyans ascending past their limits, she seemed to be at her own stopping point. A wall, Mental or not, limiting her further progress, as Senketsu had already appeared to have run out of room for growth and development.

In a recent encounter, if it were not for Hana, she may have died out in the wastes unknowingly to a zombie wielding soul edge named Balevena, even when they were on their last legs they -almost- took a perfect condition suffi aided by Hana down to the ground in a last ditch effort. Upon purifying them as an act of mercy, she was warned of ominous consequences by Isabelle, her life seemingly was now somehow at risk, a grim reminder of how she felt when Geist was around.

News had hit prior, Sage being killed by Rosa for seemingly no known reason other than Sage potentially provoking them. She hadn't spoken to him much, but she learned that he had a power that was referred to as Mumbo, or Will, that he had taught Lettuch. She could tell just how strong it was, Lettuch dodging Taro, parrying blows with his own body and sword, despite the saiyan being far weaker in terms of saiyan forms. He had this strange ability that pushed him from being the average saiyan, to quite literally one of the strongest saiyans aside from Kombu and Tokka.

She prodded him for an answer, how does he 'see' the future? how does he turn himself into what appeared to be steel, and enhance his weapon? He refused to tell her much, but hints were given, that the secret behind it was Willpower, but training for it was a requirement. Sadly, they had no interest it actually teaching Suffi, and with Sage moved on, there was no other source of learning but her own.

Taking it into her own hands, she starts to fire shots in the dark, battling against a few people in the pulp of varying powers, including Taro, whom was more than capable of beating Suffi with his overwhelming superform. She tried to steel her will, it was no secret she was soft at times, how could she resolve herself to awaken it? It had to be more than just the willpower, but from what she understood, Sage simply awoken it while training over the 10 years, the man would train and meditate a lot, but Lettuch didn't seem to be the type to meditate, so that couldn't have been a hard requirement.

In her upcoming battles, friendly or deadly, she tries to use steel herself, draw out her fighting spirit, drop the sense of doubt in her own resolve, desiring to harden her body, to harden Senketsu, and to see, even a fraction of a second into the future in situations she needed it most, something that would require a hard push to break away from her pacifist-like nature.

Did she deserve to learn such a power? It didn't matter, with it she could become a more noteable figure of peace and power within the security. Eventually several challenges was issued against Lettuch, fighting against him, aware of his abilities, and the general principle behind them, to feel what it was like to battle someone that had access, and even if her efforts were in vain- an attempt to copycat from that experience, aiming to re-discover it like sage may have, with the hints and established rules she had to give her a jump start, intentionally or unintentionally.

>TLDR<
- Defeated at her best by saiyans that ascended in varying levels, Killing style users, Weapon soul users with their legendary blade, and many other examples
- Had a close encounter against a heavily weakened Balevena, even with support nearly failing to get the job done
- Got a ominous and concerning warning of consequences from Isabelle
- Sage has died, Lettuch refused to actually teach, but she managed to gain a couple hints on what Haki/Mumbo is
- Continues to try and do what's best for those in Dharma, even if it meant going against the popular opinion at times.
- Has reason to believe a great battle against the powered up Time Dragon may occur very soon
- Begun her attempts to copy and train herself to use the techniques that required her willpower and fighting spirit, even battling Lettuch himself multiple times for a deeper understanding.

(I am aware I don't have an actual teacher, but currently the only known Haki user is Lettuch, and he seems to only intend to teach those that are close friends. I understand that if I were to be approved for Haki that I will hit a likely indefinite wall on getting any other sources of enablement, and I am willing to accept that. I wanted to try the secret out given that it's exposure in DBR is usually lesser compared to some other secrets, and I generally have not actually gotten to play with a awakening before.
Even IF I'm not approved, I do wish to attempt to keep developing for it, and will continue to roleplay the attempts to learn and understand how to use Haki even if it's seemingly without progress.)
