[Clan] Kouseki

Post by Archives » Thu Jan 14, 2016 9:00 pm

Kouseki
General Information

Type: Clan
Village: [Sunagakure no Sato]
Size: Large 20+ Families
Traits: Kouseki have two very distinct features. The first would be a gem found on the back of each of their palms. The gem can be any type of crystal or gem, and doesn't seem be based on parentage (two clan members with diamond gems could have a child that has a ruby gem). In addition to this gem, the clan members lips are always the color of their gem, giving them the appearance of always wearing lipstick. Shinobi clan members will have a gem in the center of their forehead, though this is explained below.
Coming of Age TraditionShow
On top of their odd appearances the members of the Kouseki clan all have a rather unusual habit. Upon reaching maturity and or entering into the academy for becoming a ninja for the village the clan members undergo a coming of age ritual. Each clan member will have to create a flawless example of their own gem. This gem must be created by hand with no chakra to be used. They are to mine the gem themselves and cut it to perfection without the use of chakra.

Once they create the gem (which is normally but not always of the same color as their own crystals) the clan member and his or her parents will graft the gem into the center of the member’s forehead as a symbol of awakening. The process itself is painless and safe but permanent.
Influence: One of the oldest clans in Sunagakure, the Kouseki clan is respected for it's opinion, but often abstains from matters that don't involve them and prefer to be observers.
History
One of the oldest clans in Sunagakure, the Kouseki claim their heritage to have always been in Wind Country, and elders pass down stories of the role they played in freeing Wind Country from the holds of the ancient Genma. Early in Sunagakure’s history, the Kouseki played a key role in politics and leadership, and helped guiding and defining Sunagakure’s cultural presence. Much of the early Sunagakure military was composed of the Kouseki clan, who were a strong force at the time. Over the course of Sunagakure’s history, the size of the Kouseki clan did not change much, but the clan’s ability to generate crystals and naturally utilize doton, and fuuton meant they could use sand, generate infrastructure, act as merchants, builders, or other key roles in village social structure. As Sunagakure grew in size and became more politically and socially stable, the Kouseki’s desire to be politically front and center waned. In the recent years, the Kouseki have elected to minimize their impact, and while clan leadership still is relatively present in most major village decisions, they often elect to listen and observe, and only interject their opinions to help guide the conversation and decision.

Shinobi Information Definitions:
Crystal:
All clan members have a crystal they're born with embedded in the back of their palms. All uses of shouton by that clan member manifest as that crystal, which has no effect on their jutsu. A clan member with an emerald would produce shouton emeralds while one with a ruby would produce shouton rubies, despite the fact that the effects would be identical.
Shouton:
Shouton, also known as Crystal Release, is an elemental fusion that combines Doton and Fuuton to create crystalline structures similar in nature to doton. Shouton release alone is durable, hard, makes good defenses and produces weapons with ease, but is unique for its absorbing quality. Shouton jutsu have the ability to absorb qualities of chakra it interacts with. This means that any jutsu that does not immediately destroy shouton techniques can actually make them stronger. If a Shouton technique is struck by a 30 [Control] jutsu, it is damaged as normal, and if it is not destroyed, an effect can be activated with up to 30 [Control], using the attack that struck it as the basis for the new effect. This energy can be accumulated, where a 25 [Control] jutsu and another 25 [Control] can be combined for one 50 [Control] jutsu. The limitation to how much energy can be accumulated in a single Crystal is equal to the user's own [Control].
Activation:
Shouton Jutsu have an absorbing quality, which causes them to be created in an inactive state. When a shouton jutsu absorbs chakra it will glow, which signals that it can be activated. Additional jutsu must be used to activate a shouton technique, which can cause a wide variety of effects. Once activated, if the crystal is not destroyed, it defaults to normal Doton, losing the [Absorbing] effect and gaining Doton's [Enduring] effect, but only having 1/4 it's original strength, rounded down.
Requirements:
  • Clan members history must include details of their rite of passage when coming of age.

Shouton jutsu have the ability to absorb chakra effects, and can be manipulated based on the effects they interact with. This means that any jutsu that does not immediately destroy shouton techniques can actually make them stronger. This effect is limited to the strength of the absorbed technique, however, sometimes requiring Kouseki to absorb multiple jutsu to get particularly strong responses.

Clan Jutsu
-D-Ranked- ~Crystal Shield

~Crystal Trap
D – Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals and then place their hands on two points. From their hands crystal will grow towards each other at [Control] speed, wrapping around anything they touch.

~Crystal Slab
D – Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals causing three Shouton crystals the size of tennis balls to form in their hands. The user can throw them, and upon contact with anything the crystal will rapidly grow to a 5m by 5m crystal slab at [Control] Speed, with [Control] strength. This allows the user to rapidly place crystal around the battlefield for their use.

-B-Ranked- ~Crystal Worm
B – Ranked Ninjutsu
Doing a series of hand seals, the user will throw a hand over their head. From behind them, a large circular crystal pillar, approximately 3m in diameter will grow out of the ground and shoot through the air at [Control] speed like a giant worm. The arc the worm flies at, and the direction its aimed it is based on how the user throws their hand, allowing the technique to used both as a long range attack, and a way to bat targets out of the air. The worm strikes with [Control] strength. When it touches the ground it will bury into the ground, remaining a giant arc until destroyed.

~Crystal Armor
B – Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals then slam their fists together, causing crystals to form at their palms and grow around their body from their hands at [Control] speed, forming into a suit of armor, jointed where necessary and not including a helmet.

~Activation: Piecemeal
B – Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Crystal Armor
If the Crystal Armor a user is wearing has been activated by a jutsu that involves Doton (includes fusions [such as Youton or Shouton] or an extension [such as Sand]), the user can do a series of hand seals to activate the crystal. Once activated, the user’s armor will gain the [Enduring] passive of Doton, without losing it activated state (and thus having the Enduring effect at full strength). When the armor is damaged, the user can eject portions of the armor off their body at [Control] strength and speed, and trigger it to explode at [Control] strength, to a maximum of the control of the absorbed technique(s).
-A-Ranked- ~Crystal Corridor

Large crystal walls 20m in height will form around the perimeter at [Control] speed, then form a ceiling across them at [Control] speed. This massive crystal room can be left as is, but within 8 posts and by forming a final seal the user can cause the ceiling to slam down towards the ground with 30 strength, and then all the walls to slam together over rubble of the ceiling at [Control] strength as well.

~Activation: Spark Gun

If a crystal has been activated by a jutsu that involves Raiton (includes fusions [such as Hiton or Ranton] or an extension [such as Salt]), the user can do a series of hand seals to activate the crystal. By striking the crystal, the user can cause up to 4 bolts of lightning per post to fire from the crystal at any chosen directly at [Control] speed and strength (maximum of the control of the absorbed technique(s). They can do this for up to 4 posts. However, if they have at least 4 bolts left by the end of 4 posts, they can choose to destroy the Shouton crystal, causing it to release a surge of electricity along the ground for 50m in all directions , causing numbing and paralysis to any struck by it with [Control] speed and strength.

~Crystallization
A – Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will do a series of hand seals, causing the gems on the back of their hands to start glowing as if activated. For the next 5 posts, crystal will spread from the users hand anytime they touch anything, wrapping it in crystal at {Control] speed, spreading until contact is withdrawn, completely immobilizing anything it wraps around with less than [Control] strength.
-S-Ranked- ~Activation: Repair
S – Ranked Ninjutsu
If a crystal has been activated, the user can do a series of hand seals to reinforce the jutsu. Any damage to the jutsu will be repaired at [Control] speed, undoing any damage to it and returning it to its base strength, the strength then being boosted by [Control/2] strength. This allows the Crystal to retain it’s activated state and endure further damage to absorb more effects.

~Crystal World
S – Ranked Ninjutsu
The clan member will do a series of hand seals then throw their hands out, causing crystals to burst out of the ground at [Control] speed in all directions from their body. The crystals growing from the ground are jagged and sharp, bursting out in all sorts of directions, spreading out a 80m radius from the users body. They strike with [Control] strength, and anything they strike into the points will burst out with more crystalline spikes like a morning star.

~Activation: Reproduce Katon
S – Ranked Ninjutsu
The user will perform a series of hand seals, forming a small, perfectly round crystal only a few inches in size in their hand with [Control] strength. Within the next 3 posts, the user can throw this crystal at any Katon jutsu. If the crystal has greater [Strength] than the jutsu it comes in contact with, it will rapidly expand into a massive 100m by 100m Crystal wall, absorbing the entire Katon jutsu before shrinking back down to it’s originally size and returning to the users hand in an activated state. The user can then perform a single [Kai] seal, to activate the crystal, releasing an exact reproduction of the jutsu it absorbed for the user to control. If the crystal is weaker than the jutsu it was thrown at, the crystal is destroyed and the user still pays the full cost of an S-rank technique.
