[Clan] Kuruma

Post by Archives » Sun Jun 21, 2020 7:17 pm

Kuruma
General Information Type: Clan
Village: Land of Tides
Size: Medium, roughly 12 families
Traits: The Kuruma clan members are distinguished by their dark hair and dark eyes. Many clan members are considered to have black eyes, making it difficult to distinguish the pupil from the actual iris. Additionally, Kuruma clan members are notoriously cold blooded and cruel, unrelenting in their principals, and incredibly protective of what they consider their own. While many consider the Kuruma clan to be a clan of evil, the Kuruma consider themselves to be a clan of bonds and value, and consider their bonds with others and promises they make to be sacred.
Traditions: The Kuruma, despite being one of the smaller clans in the Land of Tides, are considered one of the strongest. The Kuruma have designated their area in the country, and rarely tread outside of it. They live simple farming lives, and have few traditions to speak of. However, they are great fighters, and will defend their homes fiercely if anyone intrudes on their lands. Never, according to their history, has a Kuruma member instigated a war with another family in the Land of Tides, or the neighboring countries that the Land of Tides is often at arms with, but when instigated, the Kuruma wage complete and total war, aiming to reduce the opposition to its smallest numbers.
Influence: The Kuruma’s battle might is considered one of the reasons Shio no Kuni has not been completely ravaged.
History Despite its small size, the Kuruma clan claims to have existed for centuries. A battle faring people, Kuruma clan members are incredibly mighty fighters, who use a mix of their unique ability with close quarters combat to completely obliterate anyone they face. Their mental prowess and physicality makes them a tough opponent for anyone. The Kuruma Clan has never been in complete possession of the Land of Tides, likely due to their small size, but at one point were a small family that simply scavenged for what they needed. Eventually, the continual warring in the region with the other families drove them to bunker down in the region in the country they now call their own. They delineated a specific space they considered their own. The families of Shio no Kuni and the surrounding area were made aware that this area would be the Kuruma's, and they welcomed -- and warned -- those families to try and take it. The Kuruma vowed to hold this land and no other, and responded with extreme violence any time any of the families outside of their land tried to come in, or got too strong. Many of the families in the Land of tides consider the Kuruma to be an almost police like presence in the country, and a safety net should the surrounding countries get too close to taking over. Any time the country has been in turmoil, the Kuruma have always come forward and put the turmoil to rest.

Shinobi Information Definitions:

[Shared Cognizance]

Shared Cognizance is the Kuruma Clan’s ability to perceive sensory information of those they look at. Through the use of jutsu, Kuruma clan members can manipulate the Gensyruugan to modify what sensory information they receive. Most commonly this is used to perceive the hallucinations that the target is experiencing, but any neurological activity can be experienced so long as they can maintain eye-contact on the target. Shared Cognizance cannot mirror neurological activity that creates thoughts, making it incapable of mind reading or memory reading.

[Hypnotic Depressant]
Hypnotic Depressant, an evolved ability of the Gensyruugan, is the ability to lock eyes with a target to dampen neurological activity. This means the techniques can reduce how hard someone is willing to fight, numb their body, and in extreme cases induce depressive moods or sleep. Hypnotic Depressant techniques are Ninjutsu techniques that are based off of the Control of the user versus the Will Power of the target and a target with higher Will Power can resist them. Higher ranked techniques often require longer sustained eye contact, and can have stronger effects as base.

[Hypnotic Shock]
Hypnotic Shock, an evolved ability of the Gensyruugan, is the ability to lock eyes with a target to elicit neurological activity in pain neurons. This means the techniques can induce varying levels of pain in parts of the body, to the point of simulating extreme cardiac events. Hypnotic Shock techniques are Ninjutsu techniques that are based off of the Control of the user versus the Will Power of the target and a target with higher Will Power can resist them. Higher ranked techniques often require longer sustained eye contact, and can have stronger effects as base.

[Hypnotic Control]
Hypnotic Control is the final ability of the Gensyruugan, and is the ability to lock eyes with a target to induce hypnosis, both reading their mind and inducing thoughts. While lower Hypnotic Control techniques elevate the users [Shared Cognizance] to mind reading, higher ranked techniques can introduce thoughts to the target, sometimes creating thoughts and impulses too strong to be resisted. Hypnotic Control is not all encompassing, however, and below is a list of restrictions for the skill.
  • Complex Hypnosis is not possible, meaning a series of actions cannot be embedded into the target. Only singular actions.
  • A gap of 10 points between user and target makes the impulse impossible to resist.
  • The target cannot be made to hurt themselves or render themselves defenseless when in peril, as their survival instinct overrides the hypnotic effect of techniques.
[Jutsu Reductions]
All Gensyruugan techniques have an effective Control reduction when being used. The amount of the reduction decreases the longer eye contact is sustained. For every post eye contact is sustained, the reduction decreases by 1. So a C-rank has a reduction of -8, if sustained for 3 posts would have a reduction of -5. The table below details the reduction of each jutsu rank.

Kekkei Genkai:
Gensyruugan:
The Gensyruugan is a doujutsu utilized by those of the Kuruma Clan. Awakened in the heat of passion, the Gensyruugan is revered in Shio no Kuni for its hypnotic prowess. Kuruma Clan members have incredibly developed mirror neurons that feed into their ocular nerve, the Gensyruugan]’s inherent ability is to focus this information, allowing Kuruma clan members to perceive the hallucinations experienced by individuals around them. Clan members have developed techniques to focus the Gensyruugan making them able to use sustained eye contact to stimulate the mirror neurons in others, tricking the target’s body into relaxing, and even simulating pain. The strongest Kuruma clan members can invoke full hypnosis, forcing those they make eye contact with to perform certain actions. Each stage of the Gensyruugan is unlocked by a jutsu. The Gensyruugan can be used for for [Chakra Pool] posts in a thread, consecutive or non-consecutive.

[Follow Me]

[Hypnotic Control]
Performing a series of hand seals, the user will lock eyes with their target.

This allows the target to endure great levels of pain while remaining conscious.

[Impulse]
A-rank Ninjutsu
[Shared Cognizance]
Performing a series of hand seals, the user will watch their target with an activated Gensyruugan. For the 3 posts this technique is active, the user will feel a shadow of any physical impulse the target has. Because it is happening in real time, this doesn’t give the user any precognitive or predictive abilities, but does allow the user to increase their reaction time and catch onto minor movements that they might miss.

[Absolute Terror]
S-rank Ninjutsu
[Hypnotic Shock]
Performing a series of hand seals, the user will lock eyes with their target. The target will suddenly experience body wide pain, increasing in damage as the user’s Control gets closer to the target’s Will Power. At whatever point the user’s Control is greater than the target’s Will Power, the target will feel as if every nerve in their body is on fire. If the targets Will Power ever becomes 10 or more less than the user’s Control, the sensation will be so painful they’ll immediately pass out from the shock.

[Sleep]
S-rank Ninjutsu
[Hypnotic Depressant]
Performing a series of hand seals, the user will lock eyes with their target.

[Submit]
S-rank Ninjutsu
[Hypnotic Control]
Performing a series of hand seals, the user will lock eyes with the target. The target will be flooded with thoughts telling them they have no chance, to give up, to surrender. Whenever the users Control becomes higher than the targets Will Power, the target will stop resisting, submitting to the thoughts, and beginning to strip themselves of any weapons they have, kneeling, and placing their hands behind their head. They will remain in this state as long as eye contact is sustained. If the target would be in danger in any way while in this state the technique will fail.
