[Clan] Chōjū

Chōjū

---

General Information Type: Clan
Village: Scattered
Size: Small

Traits:
Chōjū, when looked at purely on the physical would seem no different to the average bouncer. Large builds, heavy brows, pronounced jaws and foreheads as well as a tendency for veins swollen like snakes embedded under the skin centering in a mass over the heart, a side effect of their blessed blood. Chōjū, although they typically don't use this name, have no aversion to violence as a means to an end. Despite this physical presentation that is laid out, the true underlying theme running through their blood is the inherent desire to exert some form of control over the world around them, a primal urge to see what there is, take it and then mold it. It's no secret that the clan has had a scattered history within various gangs and mobs, in short they have a conniving spirit and a body that allows them to throw their weight around.

Traditions:
With a history long forgotten and a family name that conquers stories of being forced to pay a 'protection' fee, it's easy to understand why the clan has moved so far away from their roots in recent time. While it's true that many still seem to focus on the under belly, a more present concern for the group seems to be business and politics. Regardless, it would seem that as long as structured social systems exist within the ninja world, the Chōjū will find some way of taking advantage, be it for a positive or negative end.

Influence:
It's often said that a dollar doesn't change hands without the Chōjū getting a cut. They're either loved or hated, there seems to be little in between. Be it their small sizes or muddled motives, the group has never amassed political power at large, with individual members tending to favor pushing their own goals rather than being a heel to their family name. Despite this, their is an air of importance that comes with the blood, be it a straightened back or a glob of spit going into their meal behind closed door.

History Born from the unholy pairing of man and a steel golem made in his image. Despite the various accounts on the authenticity of this tale, as well as the multiple variations on it, it would be foolish to claim that this common consensus that has managed to prevail throughout the clans scattered residency is totally without merit. It only takes an inspection of their clans biology to see that there is a sense of validity to the idea. No matter how they originated, it's a secret that has been lost through time and muddled into something completely different, to the point where most of the Chōjū pay it no mind, preferring to look upon direct family heritage over signing their loyalty to some homologous group or patch of land. The result of this being that the Chōjū's history mirrors that mostly of the ninja world, despite their small numbers, their natural ambition allows them to stake a claim in any group accomplishment throughout time, something that they're usually more than happy to bring up.

Shinobi Information Definitions:
Requirements: Due to their large size, members of the clan are expected to have an above average strength stat.
Kekkei Genkai:

Name: Nanomachine
Definition: Those swollen veins aren't just to look pretty, each serves a vital part in pumping the Chōjū's natural gift, their nanomachines, through their body. These little critters run through every inch of the body, giving their blood a orange tinge and their fluids an intense smell of diesel. These benefit of these guys are two fold, first and foremost they perform maintanance on the body, going over each and everything that's out of place and aiding along with the bodies natural healing, resulting in all healing times being reduced by one post. Secondly, the act as a reflexive barrier when the body is placed into harm. This means that be it throwing a punch or taking a rock to the back these machines will harden the body on the area of contact, turning the skin a dark grey as they meld together. This acts as a passive defense, equal in strength to the users strength and stamina stat added together divided by two.

Nanomachines are way too advanced for our setting, even as a KKG. My suggestion would be to have it be some sort of insect. Clans also require a D-S-rank pyramid of jutsu.

Hey, sorry for getting back to this so late.

You're totally right, I kinda went into this short on sleep and didn't put enough effort into having it fit within the universe. In actuality I'm actually probably not going to end up using this in the end. Would it be possible to have this moved to trash or the equivalent. If anyone was eying this and actually wanted/wants to use it they're totally welcome to take over, but otherwise I'm happy to let it go.

Cheers, and sorry again for coming to this so late into the piece
