Ibuki

Through Fire and Water

==STYLE DESCRIPTION==
This Style represents those who fight disaster itself or work in
emergency relief, such as firefighters, lifeguards, and rescue workers.

In Japan before the Hazards, the word "ibuki" meant a state where
one was overflowing with the energy of life. In the Neuro Age, however,
"ibuki" has come to mean those who protect the energy of life, or those
who put the lives of others above their own.

This Style may be compared to Kabuto, but they are both distinctly
different. Kabuto protect the life of their clients. They guard those who
have fallen into danger, their lives threatened by others. Ibuki, on the
other hand, protect the lives any number of "victims." Risking their own
lives in order to save the lives of those they've never met before, that
is the Style called Ibuki.

REASON: 1/4
PASSION: 2/3
LIFE: 3/5

MIRACLE: ASCEND LIFE

A Miracle that heals the wounds of another through a rescue proceedure.

By using Ascend Life, at any time one character may recover from all
physical wounds, mental wounds, and bad statuses they are suffering
from, and also remove any effects of Style Skills affecting them. That
character then may continue combat as normal. However for {Death} and
{Catatonia}, they may only recover from it if it was inflicted in the
current scene. You may use this Miracle on yourself. However, if you do,
then you recover from {Death} or other incapacitating wounds during the
next scene.
Condition: If you heal damage that wasn't intentionally inflicted with
Ascend Life, the "used Miracle skillfully" XP bonus should be awarded.
