[House] Nara

Post by Archives » Thu Mar 03, 2016 10:44 am



Type: House
Village: Konohagakure no Sato
Size: Medium (10 Families)


Traits: The Nara are a house within Konoha that excels in their abilities with Ninjutsu to create Shadow-related techniques. People from this clan tend to be great tacticians and have nonchalant demeanours. The clan members are usually born with dark, black coloured hair, thin eyes and small pupils.

Traditions:
The Day of Shadows
This in the exact same day as the The Paper Lantern Festival starkly, only members of the Nara House partake, and only occurs during the daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset. Each member stays in doors and isolates themselves, they wear a thick blindfold so that they can’t see anything and fast during the daylight hours. They use this time to meditate, believing that they become one with the shadows and furthers their ability to manipulate the shadows. Once the sun sets, they will celebrate with the rest of the village and take part in the festival.
The Bladeless Ceremony
The Day a member of the Nara House graduates from the Academy they will be gifted a bladeless kunai, it is simply a hand wrapped in bandage and a metal pommel. How they use this is entirely up to them, it is often kept in their kunai holster.

[I]Bladeless Kunai[i] - A handle of a kunai without a blade is kept within the users kunai holster.

**At start up, 14 Kunai can be bought for 2 points and 1 Kunai Handle or any other ratio, even 15 Kunai Handles.**
Influence: A medium sized house in Konoha, the Nara have been around since the early days of the village and have always played an important role and are often involved with village affairs, due to their analytical personalities.

Though not as old as the Senju Clan, the Nara came to Konohagakure soon after it was founded and helped during the early years to build the village and took a seat on the original council. They surprisingly have a close bond to the Awai clan and see them as Kin as they are a descendent of the Nara household and they have retained no knowledge of the Nara techniques, meaning they bear them no ill will.

However, they are much closer to another set of clans and have developed a special relationship with Akimichi and Yamanaka Clans. For generations, members of these three families have formed "Ino–Shika–Chō" trios, named after the first part of the names of the members with the Nara members being the "Shika" in the trio.

Due to their relatively small size it has allowed them to maintain their secretive techniques, and are often involved within military forces due to their analytical demeanour and for this reason, the clan has become well respected among the Leaf Village, and around the world.


Definitions:

Eiketsu, also known as Shadow Binding, gives the user the ability to manipulate shadows, which are dark images cast on the ground or some surface by an object obstructing the path of light. Members of the Nara clan are able to manipulate these shadows in various ways that normal ninja cannot. This is not to be confused with darkness (the absence of light). If a clan member were to be located in such a place (i.e. a room with no windows and no doors) then they would be unable to use their shadow techniques because there is no light and therefore there are no shadows. Therefore, for shadows to be present, they need a source of light.
Concentration:
Eiketsu:
Eiketsu
The members of the Nara house are able to manipulate both their own shadows and shadows in the surrounding. This chakra allows them to use various techniques that allow them to create effective traps to use against an opponent as long as there is enough light in the area to create the shadows needed to do so. If there is absolutely no light present in the area of the Nara member, they are unable to use their shadow techniques. The range at a clan member can manipulate shadows is dependent on their control stat:
  • 5: Can control their own shadow.
  • 10: 20 Meter Area
  • 15: 30 Meter Area
  • 20: 40 Meter Area
  • 30: 60 Meter Area
  • 40: 80 Meter Area
  • 50: 100 Meter Area
