Serpent of Kilika:: This is an ability unique to Tai-Ho only. It draws all the moisture out of an area, even having the potential to drain a lake.

It lasts only for this instant and how powerful it is depends on how much moisture Tai-Ho has taken the time to collect. [Can only be used once per battle]
History[/size][/b]
Tai-Ho had lived on the quiet, ocean town of Kilika. His family had been one of professional fisherman - that was how they made their living. The island town was close-knit which Tai-Ho enjoyed a lot. Something that many did not know about Kilika was that there was a tiny population of Chocobo roaming the island. Tai-Ho had always sought these yellow bird-creatures out as a child because he simply believed that they were amazing. Over the years, he's attempted to gain a closer connection to the creatures. Even in his teenage years, he had plenty of experience on the back of a Chocobo. Tai-Ho is probably one of the town's largest "celebrities." He built his life on taming Chocobos and even acted as a part of the warriors who patrolled the island for monsters. His alcoholic nature is, to no surprise, another of these celebrities that peers its ugly head oh so often. When Tai-Ho wasn't dealing with Chocobos or patrolling the item, one could find him in the tavern. He'd either be at the bar ordering drink after drink, showing-off to an equally inebriated party, or somewhere passed out. In this fisherman's life, he's learned that any combination of the three could happen.
However, things changed when Sin showed its ugly face. Hearing the stories of the tragedies that Sin had caused in the past, Tai-Ho couldn't allow Sin to come to Kilika. This village was everything to him and he'd be damned if he let some monster take it away.The tragedy at Kilika was his call to duty. He lost many friends and family to Sin's attack on the village. Luckily for him he'd been off in the forest with his Chocobo. However, Tai-Ho was lucky enough to watch Yuna perform the Sending for the poor souls of the village. Tai-Ho used his decades of monster combat experience and his talent as a Chocobo rider to help combat Sin; Operation Mi-ihen. The use of machina by the Al-Bhed unnverved Tai-Ho quite a bit. He felt that they'd be going against all of Yevon if they dared use these forbidden machines. Regardless, he couldn't allow Sin to take another step forward. The fisherman had participated in the battle under an unaffiliated status because he didn't belong to the Crusaders nor had any ties with the Al-Bhed. The warriors present that day knew they would need all the help that they could get, so they accepted Tai-Ho's help graciously. The Kilika native fought first on the frontlines to combat the Sin-spawn on the shore. He fought heroically on the frontlines and witnessed the carnage that would happen moments afterwards. Sin appeared and unleashed one powerful attack on the united forces. Tai-Ho caught most of this attack along with his "comrades" fighting on the beach. Miraculously, Tai-Ho was one of the few who'd managed to survive the attack. As quickly as Sin had appeared, it'd left with death in its wake.
Needless to say that put the fisherman out of commission for quite a while - 6 months in fact. Tai-Ho had been bed-ridden with severe injuries for half a year. When he heard that Sin had been defeated once and for all, the hardened fisherman could only smile. At least he had lived to see the day that Sin would be defeated for good. Once he healed up, Tai-Ho decided to dedicate himself entirely to Yevon. He felt as though Yevon had saved his life. Even with the fall of Sin, the spirit of Yevon continued to beat strongly in Tai-Ho's heart. Upon showcasing his expertise with a blade as well as his veteran riding experience with a Chocobo, Tai-Ho joined the Chocobo Knights. To this day, he follows the will of Yevon...and when he isn't...he's out getting wasted. Typical.
