General Information Type: Clan
Village: Iwagakure no Sato
Size: Small (10+ families)
Traits: While not specific in the slightest, each member of the Akari clan has something about them that stands out, due to the shiin that manifests in their body. This ranges from wild hair and eye color combinations to being larger or smaller than those of their age. For the most part, an Akari clan member will never blend in with the crowd and will always stick out.
Traditions: While not having too many inherent traditions, birth and death are both very important aspects of the Akari clan. Whenever a child is born, the entire clan celebrates the new life, the old traditions of envy and possessiveness culled for now. Death is celebrated as a way to pass on whatever strength the Akari had to a child, willed recipient, or even whoever bested them creating the stronger ninja for Iwagakure's sake. No longer are any shiin burned; they are now stored and preserved for the clan as needed as the clan grows and recovers.
In order to gain shiin, the most direct route is to consume it. While non-Akari must use the Organ Transplantation style, Akari are able to eat it directly from another Akari's body. Because this is the main way that the clan's bloodline evolves, Iwagakure no Sato has allowed some leeway with the clan's tactics and growth over the course of their history. Each time that they would gain a rank in the village, they are expected to consume another shiin to show off their development and growth as shinobi. In the past, those who did not consume a shiin upon ranking up were eyed as weak, and although some lingering sentiment remains in the few elders Akari who survived, the view is now seen as old and outdated as it only hurts the clan and Iwagakure rather than strengthens them.
The Arena gladiator-style battles of the past have been expunged from the clan. Instead of fights to the death, the winner is presented a shiin of their choice from the Clan Vault containing the preserved and stored shiins of fallen clan members.
Influence: Once a clan with little political holdings in Iwagakure no Sato, this has changed with the reign of Tsuchikage Akari, Tatsuo. Under his leadership, Iwagakure no Sato and Earth Country had expanded to the point of taking over the traitorous Wind Country. Hailed as a hero by people of his nation, Tatsuo and his brother Kotaru are infamous throughout the older Akari clan members as being the pair of brothers who tore down the Elders and their Arena system while implementing a lifestyle that uplifted the clan instead of it feasting on itself. His brother, Akari, Kotaru, serves as the current Elder of the clan and village Bannin granting him considerable political sway in a nation where strength is respected above all.

Founding HistoryShow
A rather middle-aged clan compared to others, the Akari clan has stuck to its traditions in Iwagakure no Sato, and, as payment for the city's willful 'ignorance' of their dealings, has produced many strong ninja to service the village. While the true origins of the clan have been lost to time, what is known is that eight ninja, each with a different shiin, was able to enlarge this new organ and fight with it. By today's standards, their methods were crude and barbaric, but, with the help of Iwagakure no Sato bringing these people together, the clan was founded and started to grow. Out of the founding eight members, one of them was much different than the others. Less content with staying in one place, working for a ninja village, he left and was never seen again. Upon further experimentation of shiin, it was discovered that each of the founding ninja's shiin correlated to a chakra. Begging the question, it was unknown what the missing founder's shiin attached itself to, being completely different than the other seven.
As the clan grew, each ninja was perfectly satisfied with their own, singular shiin. However, once missing nin started to grow from the clan, and with the revelation of a now unnamed Akari with a phasmashiin gave in to some unnatural urges and started to devour a captured missing ninja. As soon as the missing ninja's shiin showed signs of manifesting itself in that ninja, the entire clan panicked. If not for the current clan leader, the clan would have consumed itself. Giving into what the people wanted, along with what he thought was best, he instituted what are now the clan laws. Funding the arena all by himself, the clan's ritualistic cannibalism and death combat was set in stone. While most of the clan members were fine with these rules, those that weren't tried to throw a coup against the leader. As they were unwilling to engage in cannibalism, they were vastly outmatched by those that had, and, their punishment, was being thrown into the arena to be cannibalized. The fights were very short and ended as one would expect. With the command given, more rules were added, basically detailing and fulfilling survival of the fittest and, if one had a problem with it, they would be required to fight in the arena over it.
Since then, the clan has grown, with 'bonuses' given out to families that birth more kids, allowing for more and more shiin to be put up on the market. However, by doing so, the unintentional hierarchy was created, by those with more common shiin reproducing faster, creating an artificial shortage of certain shiin, making the rarer shiin rarer and the more common ones show up and diluting the market.

Current Age The overwhelming strength of Tatsuo and Kotaru Akari revolutionized the clan as they tore down the Arena where the ritualistic cannibalism was glorified and encouraged among the population. The clan elders were purged and Kotaru stepped into their place enforcing a new minimum standard for the clan. The Arena was turned into a monumental vault outfitted with state of the art security measures provided by the village and those killed in its destruction were harvested. Their shiin were preserved and stored within the vault for the future generations of Akari to be rewarded with as they grew in service to the village.
Shinobi Information
DefinitionsShow
Shiin:A Shiin is the most important and sacred thing to a member of the Akari clan. While the main manifestation of their bloodline, it is also their lifeblood, being an organ in their very own body. Without the shiin, an Akari not only loses their bloodline, but their own sense of worth as well. Because of it being a singular organ, it is highly sought out by those with the Organ Transplantation because of the ease of transplanting the singular organ.
The organ itself allows an Akari member differing abilities based on its location. Almost every single Akari member is born with a single shiin. However, an Akari's body is able to house many more and, in fact, unlike other bodies, a clan member can have a near endless amount of shiin located inside of their bodies. In fact, one of the only ways that an Akari can gain more shiin is through the consumption of other shiin. Without any form of cannibalism, an Akari's shiin will stay the same. It can grow in power, but it will never branch out or cover any of the other chakras in the body.
In its dormant state, a shiin is invisible to the naked eye, but, to sensors, they can see the organ as a mass of chakra that's the color of associated with the shiin. When used, however, a shiin inflates out of the Akari's body into its full size. The size, shape, and usage of the organ depend on which chakra it covers, while the durability is equal to the user's [Endurance], unless otherwise stated.
While each type of shiin is different, the easiest way to describe a shiin and how it operates is thinking of it as a liquid muscle, able to move and alter itself to the clan member's thoughts and whims, while still following its own pathways. Though, each shiin, no matter which type, never truly looks like the rest of the Akari's body, making it impossible to hide while manifested.
Types of ShiinShow
Melashiin:The most common of the shiin is the Melashiin. Connected to the Root Chakra, a melashiin manifests itself as a fleshy protrusion from the skin. They can range from long and thin to thick and short with any combination in between but their main usefulness is they have massively high regeneration rates. When damaged, they are able to recur themselves at an astonishing rate, following the rules for regneration without other jutsu being used. Most melashiin are dark red in hue, though there are exceptions. For the most part, those with a melashiin are the lowest caste of the clan, due to having the 'weakest' of the shiin.
Eroshiin:A relatively uncommon shiin is the eroshiin. Connected to the Heart Chakra, a eroshiin manifests itself as almost fire-like jelly from solid flesh, encompassing the shoulders and branching out into wing-like forms. While incapable of flight by their own, they are aerodynamic, allowing for swift movement even with their added bulk. With an addition of the user's own [Speed], the eroshiin can allow for gliding around a battlefield, jumping from place to place. Most eroshiin are green in hue, though there are exceptions. Members of the clan with eroshiin tend to be spies, scouts, and diplomats, proud of their own speed and ability to get out of any situation.
Lacrishiin:A slightly rare shiin is the Lacrishiin. Connected to the throat chakra, a lacrishiin manifests itself as an armor around the user's body or as a large, scaled and skeletal-like weapon over one of the clan members limbs. The amount of armor or function of the weapon depends on the user's own body. Lacrishiin are smooth and dull, appearing as a dim and opaque glass and are as strong as the users own [Strength]. Most lacrishiin are blue in hue, though there are exceptions. Members of the clan with lacrishiin tend to be bodyguards of those of importance and high ranking members of the clan.
Derghoshiin:The second rarest shiin is the Derghoshiin. Connected to the Third Eye Chakra, a derghoshiin manifests itself as a growth around where the user's third eye would be. The smallest and physically weakest of the shiin, the derghoshiin gives one very simple ability. It is that it is able to shoot out bits of itself at targets. While few other shiin are able to manifest projectile attacks, the derghoshiin are the only ones that are able to manifest chakra-based projectile attacks and fuse differing chakra-based abilities into their projectiles. Most derghoshiin are purple in hue, thought here are exceptions. Members of the Akari clan with derghoshiin tend to be high ranked ninja or diplomats, highly valuing their own [Willpower] that the build up of chakra in their head supposedly gives them. Most clan members tend to respect the words of those with a derghoshiin.
Astrashiin:The most rare of the shiin is the Astrashiin. Connected to the Crown Chakra, an astrashiin manifests itself as a helmet over the Akari's head. Appearing as a partial contradiction, the shiin is slimy, cold, and course at the same time. Appearing more alien in nature than the other shiin, it also commands the most respect. Very rarely showing up in children, and, for some reason, having such a low birth rate, those that are born with an astrashiin are looked after at an astonishingly high rate. Guarded by the clan almost as much as a village guards a Genma, all hungrily waiting for any mess up, it is completely unheard of for an Akari with an astrashiin as a missing nin. The abilities of the astrashiin tend to be hidden until after genin-level, whenever the Akari first consumes a shiin of another Akari, it 'activates' The astrashiin fuses with the shiin, meshing with it in whichever way, depending on the user, the basic shiin, and the astrashiin itself. Unlike other shiin, which are each composite parts, the astrashiin, and those that use them, are adept at fusing different shiin together, making new and beautiful combinations. This leads to many different fusions, such as a lacrishiin with the regenerative powers of a melashiin. Every single astrashiin has shown to be violet in hue, giving that same light color to any shiin that they consume. While valuable to the clan, due to different types of experimentation, they are also looked at by the entire clan as a predator looks at their prey. Each clan member hopes that they will be the one to absorb and consume the astrashiin.
Size of Shiin:While the exact size of each type of shiin isn't noted, each should follow the following guidelines:
- Melashiin: Long and thin, in comparison to others. Range is equal to [Endurance/2]m.
- Eroshiin: No more than 3/4ths the user's body length.
- Lacrishiin: The user's body length exactly. It only adds bulk, not height or size.
- Derghoshiin: No longer than the user's head.
- Astrashiin: No longer than the user's head.
Starting Shiin:It is assumed that a character starts with the following number of shiin:
- Genin/D Rank: 1 shiin.
- Chuunin/C-Rank: 2 shiin
- Special Jounin/B-Rank: 3 shiin
- Jounin/A Rank: 4 shiin
Additional Shiin:The ability for an Akari to house more than one shiin, while non-clan members are able to house only one, is one of the defining features of the clan. In fact, the clan's philosophies, structure, and group-thought all stem from this very fact. Whenever a clan member consumes a shiin, there is a high chance that it will be incorporated into their own body in unique ways.
The main process on how an Akari evolves their bloodline is by consuming others of their bloodline. While this process is essentially just cannibalism, the moral centers of the Akari are much different than other ninja in the entirety of the world. Whenever they consume a shiin of another Akari, there is a chance that their own shiin will either absorb it (if it is the same type) or let it take over another one of the user's chakras (if it is a different type). If the shiin is the same type and it is absorbed, the user's current shiin commonly takes on characteristics of the consumed shiin.
Jutsu:Clan jutsu must have an extra line that shows which type of shiin they can be used with.
Acquiring ShiinShow
When acquiring new shiin, an Akari must be aware how the shiin's rarity will affect the difficulty of the endeavor. Rarer shiin tend to be more heavily guarded and protected, often by those who wish to gain the shiin themselves. In doing so, this creates an abnormal body guard service for those with rarer shiin. However, this does make those with more common shiin completely unprotected, able to be consumed with very little effort. Regardless of shiin, all new shiin gained after creation must be acquired in character and cannot be done via solo roleplay.
- Melashiin: None
- Eroshiin: 10 Speed
- Lacrishiin: 10 Strength
- Derghoshiin: 10 Control
- Astrashiin: 10 Chakra Pool
Shiin:Clan Concentrations and StylesThe main bloodline of the Akari clan is their shiin. While the size, shape, and abilities of the shiin depends on which chakra the organ is connected to. The shiin, while manifesting itself, is a constant within them. Unlike other similar clans, the shiin is the only thing that alters itself, leaving the Akari's body largely in tact. However, because of this, the shiin is just another part of the body, just as someone's arm or leg.
Shiin Usage:The fundamental skill of Shiin usage indicates the user’s proficiency with all types of shiin. This facilitates their use of related Taijutsu.
Combat Style:Clan Jutsu[color=#CC00FF]Shiin Usage[/color]
Each shiin can be used differently. The majority of the shiin are melee-combat based and rely on using the extra reach granted by the Mela to gain an advantage and overwhelm the opponent with added appendages or the added defensive capabilities of the Lacrishiin to shrug off damage and place decisive blows while the enemies guard is down. Those fortunate enough to be born with the Dergoshiin are outliers within the clan due to their ability to engage at longer ranges than their counterparts and as such are more likely to stick to hit and run tactics.

D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
Type: Melashiin, Eroshiin, and Lacrishiin.
Due to training with their shiin, Akari members are much more at balance than those without a shiin. This holds especially true for those with temershiin, as the tail-like protrusion provides a counterbalance. This also allows for clan members to use their shiin as legs for balance, if able.
[color=#CC00FF][b]~Slow Fall[/b][/color]
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
Type: Eroshiin
While not quite the same, by opening their shiin to the fullest, an Akari is able to slow their fall without fear of falling, even if thrust downward. While unable to gain height, even with gusts of wind, this protects an Akari from damage caused by falling, given they have enough space to fall.

While still part of the body, each and every shiin has remarkable regeneration rates. Normally not enough to fully recover in battle, with rest, a shiin is able to recover itself in a few days, even if the manifested organ has been sliced to pieces, as long as the base organ remains in tact, taking chakra from the Akari, forcing them to rest longer than a normal ninja.

By focusing chakra on their shiin, the Akari is able release bits and pieces of the shiin, causing a group of fifteen kunai-like projectiles to be launched by the shiin at strength and speed equal to the user's [Control] in a spray 5 meters wide. While effective, much use can tire out the shiin, just as throwing a kunai with a single arm would overwork it.

Just like the parent technique, the user focuses chakra on their shiin, while also doing the needed hand seal, releasing bits from the shiin, causing fifteen kunai-like projectiles to be launched by the shiin with strength and speed equal to the user's [Control], in a spray 10 meters wide. The difference, however, is that the user focuses chakra into the launch, causing them to be imbued with Katon chakra.

C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Lacrishiin
By doing the needed hand seals, the user is able to channel chakra directly into their shiin. This strengthens the armor, giving it an extra 10 Strength. However, while doing so, they are unable to use any ninjutsu or genjutsu while this is in effect. This lasts as long as they continue to channel chakra into their shiin.

B-Ranked Iijutsu
Requirements: [color=#CC00FF][b]~Basic Regeneration[/b][/color], Iijutsu Concentration
Going above and beyond the normal regeneration capabilities, a shiin is able to utilize some of the user's chakra in order to restore itself to fighting capacity. While not instant, a shiin is able to recover and rebuild itself in [20-(Endurance/3)] posts. A melashiin is able to recover itself in [20-(Endurance/2)] OR [20-(Chakra Pool/2)] posts instead, based on the user's permanent drain. Either way, the fastest that a shiin can recover this way is in 2 posts. During this time, the shiin is unable to manifest.

Coming close to perfecting the regeneration factors of their shiin, the Akari member is able to recover their shiin almost as soon as it is destroyed. While the pain is still there, the shiin can recover itself in [15-(Endurance/3 posts)]. A melashiin is able to recover itself in [10-(Endurance/2)] OR [10-(Chakra Pool/2)] posts instead, based on the user's permanent drain. Either way, the fastest that a shiin can recover this way is in 1 post. During this time, the shiin is unable to manifest.
