☼Kyohaku☼
Location: Glacier
Notoriety: 3
Size: Small - 50
History: Originally forming from a man who studied nature chakra and biology, the clan developed slowly but surely. In the depths of the Glacier village, the clan began to take hold, showing themselves as terrifying assassins rather than the powerful warriors their opponents often were. Oddly, they often found themselves at odds with the summon clans, their methods of using nature chakra being considered either a violation of nature, or a mad grab for power.
Culture: The clan behaves exactly like someone would expect a clan of assassins to behave, hiding secrets, using code words in basic conversation, and generally letting no one get the full picture of what goes on inside the clan. However, in the current time, a bit of unrest is happening so the younger generation is leaning more towards warrior focus rather than an assassin one. This means the older generation will be more discreet and subtle, while the younger ones will tend to be both directly confrontational and respecting strength more than guile.
Traits: As expected of a clan with such powers, any Kyohaku member gains 1 point to both Strength and Potency. Their lungs, being able to process Nature Chakra and convert it to their own chakra stores, do not function exactly the same as others. This means normal healing operations involving the lungs would both take longer and be more difficult. Members of the clan share an odd trait of leaving their skin exposed, despite the bitter cold of their home. It is also known that their chakra is colored uniquely, each individual having a color and type, often reflecting their elements rather than the pure blue of normal chakra. All colors have been witnessed, except periwinkle.
Ability: Risai
Type: Kekkei Genkai
Description: The bloodline functions by filtering nature chakra in through the lungs and purifying it for the members of the clan to use. This doubles the amount of time required to enter sage mode, should any sages from the clan exist. The clan also has the ability, because of their special lungs, to expel pure chakra blasts from their mouths, eerily similar to Bijuu.
D-Rank: The ninja can regenerate a single point of chakra per post, regardless of activity.
C-Rank: The lungs now function better, allowing the user to even breath in difficult conditions, such as with extremely thin oxygen, or with only one lung working.
B-Rank: The clan member regenerates one and a half points of chakra per post (3 chakra per 2 posts).
A-Rank: The clan member's chakra begins to change, rendering their own chakra almost invisible to chakra based sensory, registering just as nature chakra. This ability is negated if the user's Potency reaches S rank.
S-Rank: The clan member now regenerates 2 chakra per post, and is able to breathe even underwater, so long as the water is natural.
Clan Jutsu
Jutsu Name: Star Cannon
Rank: B-S
Primary Skill: Shape Ninjutsu
Focus: Balanced
Duration: N/A
Cooldown: 3 posts, after 3 uses the ninja cannot use it again until either another topic, or their throat is healed.
Description: The user breathes in, focusing all the chakra they would normally absorb in the act into a small ball inside their mouths, growing with each post. If the user decides to unleash it there, the blast will be of normal strength and speed for their rank in Shape. However, if the user decides to keep focusing, the blast becomes stronger, each post it is contained causing the effective rank to raise by a single letter.
Once the blast is released, it acts exactly the way the Bijuudama does, either becoming an orb of pure chakra that explodes on contact, or a focused beam of chakra. It is up to the user to describe this upon release. If it is an orb, the maximum radius of the orb is equal to the Power of the jutsu measured in meters. If it is the beam, it is twice the power, in inches wide. The maximum effective range of the orb is 100 meters, at which point it will explode regardless of contact. The beam however, has a range of 50 meters, and will simply stop at that point rather than exploding or detonating.
