XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXＳＡＭＵＲＡＩ ＣＬＡＳＳ
Samurai have mastered their code: discipline, honor, mercy, loyalty. They are the most honest of women and men, with honest motives and intentions. Samurai have always trained to be at touch with their values more than anything. They live off of code and conduct; they let it guide them. The Samurai remain proof that while humans have natural morals and emotions, they can also design their own virtues as a way to meet a more peaceful and merciful existence.
Like all other shinobi, though, they are trained to fight. They let their calm minds guide their blade. Their sword, their main weapon, is a second body to them. But their bodies are tied together in harmony. Their connection to their sword is unbreakable. They are masters of the blade. And they can, and will, rip enemies open.
XXXSTRENGTHS
SWORD MASTERY -- The Samurai Class easily rivals, perhaps even trumps the taijutsu class in physical combat. They are the true top dogs of close-battle; the Taijutsu class has their hard bodies, their balance of super strength and speed. The weapon class has their crazy speed and versatility. But the Samurai?
The Samurai's skill with the sword is inhuman. Sword fighting with them is like trying to beat a super computer at math equations. They do not make mistakes. They know the perfect way to respond to every strike by the enemy. This is because their training releases a constant field of chakra around their body to where they literally witness time at a slower pace. Samurai can see the enemy's physical attacks in slow motion, because the range of this ability expands just far enough to where they can predict these close-range attacks. Because of this, they will never falter in physical combat. They simply do not make mistakes. They can parry pretty much everything. Your super bursts of speed mean nothing to them. They cannot be defeated by stats, because they are the most skilled. Samurai are essentially the counter class to other physical classes. Other physical classes are left almost useless versus them. While many try to take their foes by surprise, and while many others simply try to be stronger/faster, against a samurai this does nothing.
XXXWEAKNESSES
LONG-RANGED ENEMIES: Samurai cannot deal well with long-ranged opponents. Although they almost completely neutralize other physical classes, ninjutsu users have their way with them. Samurai just aren't built to deal with that sort of long-ranged onslaught; their specialty is close-ranged superiority. Because their speed is only relatively above average, it's hard for them to close the distance on a target, and as they chase the enemy they can basically just get whittled down and picked on from afar. However, this weakness is easily countered if you have techniques that close distance.
XXXBONUSES
You can master two taijutsu styles
You can master an infinite amount of weapon styles, but they must all be for your main weapon; a certain type of sword. This can be a broadsword, claymore, longsword, shortsword, katana, knife... as long as it's a sword. You must pick one type of blade to be your main weapon, so you're not well versed in the use of all swords. Your main weapon's styles and techniques are boosted by a rank.
Your secondary weapon (the other one carried around with you, which can be of any type) can have two mastered styles of its type
Like weapon specialists, Samurai can use low level techniques (genin and academy) with one hand so that they don't have to weaken their hold of their weapon while they perform jutsu.
XXXLIMITATIONS
You may only carry two weapons. One will be a sword, the other is up to you.
You get one Element at Gennin, and the second at Jounin
You may learn two elements, but the second element can only be learned up to Jounin rank
You can only learn 5 genjutsu
XXXUNTAPPED POWER
With the Samurai's untapped power, your sword becomes a living manifestation of your discipline. The Samurai are all about a calm mind reflecting your elegant use of the sword, and this personifies it. First of all, your sword swipes are performed significantly faster than usual. Second, your sword strikes lead the enemy into opening their guard. They're infused with a chakra that tricks the enemy into thinking the sword is swiping from two different directions at the same time, unable to tell which direction is the real slash. This special disciplinary form, however, is marked with a purple glow around your body and your sword. It can be done for five posts every battle, during which time it's a nightmare to physically battle a Samurai.
