Small summary of clan: One of the newest of clans to ally with Kumogakure within the last fifty years, the Majutsuchi is a bloodline with deep ties to the Yin release with a Kekkai Genkai revolving around physic powers and nightmarish Genjutsu. They possess a powerful grasp over the mind, but are born mentally defective with one extreme psychological issue that is the basis for their power. They are exceedingly intelligent, follow a matriarchal culture, and have an innate darkness within them.



Characteristics of members: The Majutsuchi are a dark, extremely secretive bloodline that withholds their culture from the rest of society, and are almost cultish in nature. They are a matriarchal clan with dominant genes based on the mothers, and children who are born from only paternal genes of the Majutsuchi, will never have the intelligence, psychological defect, or suffer from the innate darkness of the clan from their Kekkai Genkai, the Majut.

This Kekkai Genkai that is the basis for the Psychic and Mental-Based Jutsu, can only be activated by their mother when the child begins to exhibit mental issues near the age of seven, where the mother forces the child to drink her blood that makes the psychological defect livable. Their psychological defect causes most of their members to suffer a brain aneurysm at or before the age of fifty, and so they are encouraged to reproduce early into adulthood.

The Clan follows a century-long hierarchy, with the leading branch of the family being the Queen’s Branch, who all have dark-skin and have taller, broad features. The younger sister of the Queen is referred to as the Consort, where their children bear light or tan skin and have shorter, naturally-thin features. The Clan, in all their types of clothing, generally wear all-white or all-black clothing with the clan symbol in the inverted color on their back.




Your clan's role in the world today: Members of the Majutsuchi Clan are far and few between not only due to their psychological usage and mental duress of their powers leading to brain aneurysms, but also due to a conflict with the Hattori Clan that severely culled their numbers, and are taught to have a deep hatred for the Hattori Clan and Amegakure, with a deep loyalty for Kumogakure.

Though those with deep knowledge of the Majutsuchi mental defect see them as potential liabilities, their high levels of intelligence make them great political and battlefield strategists, while their feared Genjutsu and the innate darkness within their bloodline makes them excellent interrogators.



Any special powers or abilities?: KEKKEI GENKAI: MAJUT
A rare mental Kekkei Genkai based on an innate connection to Yin nature. This awakens a deeper connection to the world and allows one to mentally connect with up to three willing participants with eye contact. This creates a hivemind, allowing the connected to communicate their thoughts over long distances seamlessly, while the Majut-wielder is able to track their presences. In low stress situations, this hivemind allows the Majut-wielder to communicate their emotions and impart their knowledge wordlessly through chakra. Alongside high levels of intelligence, Majutsuchi members make excellent strategists and are vital members of teams. All Majutsuchi are all connected to the same hive mind within a large distance, such as within the same village. This opens a pathway to Yin-based Ninjutsu and Genjutsu.

CHAKRA IMPRINTING
The Majutsuchi are trained mid-range fighters, and almost all clan members partake in a ritual to imprint their chakra onto one or two weapons. This imprinting process creates a mental link between the inanimate object(s) and allows for general short-range telekinetic control of the object in their mind, and advanced and technical mid-range control of the object when using their hands. This imprinted chakra allows the Majutsuchi to pinpoint the location of the item or weapon(s) within kilometers. They are completely blind to all Yang-based chakra usages.

SENSOR NINJA
The Majutsuchi culture leaves much to be discovered in Taijutsu and throughout the years, many within the clan awaken their Kekkei Genkai with a sensory awareness for survival. Their sensor capabilities are particularly heightened in detecting the subtle changes of Genjutsu, making them very difficult to put into a Genjutsu and to keep within one.




Any special techniques? SUFFERING SYNCRHONIZATION: HIVE PAIN TRANSFER (苦痛同期：ハイブペイン転送)
(D-RANK // RANGE: LONG // DURATION: N/A // CD: 5) By tapping into the collective consciousness of their hivemind, the user may synchronize pain and damage amongst the connected minds for enhanced team resilience and survivability. This does not transfer the damage of immediate fatal attacks such as heart piercings, decapitations, or eradications.

MIND’S ABYSS: COGNITIVE EROSION JUTSU (心の深淵：認知浸食)
(C-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 3 // CD: 5) The Majutsuchi, while within a short five meter range, following six hand seals with eye contact, casts a short-range Genjutsu that plunges the victim’s mind into a realm of acute psychological trauma of emotional distress. This erodes higher cognitive thought and strategy, progressively growing worse until the end of the third post. The effects depend on the personality and life of the victim, ranging from rage, to sadness or depression, to manic euphoria.

KINETIC SURGE JUTSU (動能衝撃)
(C-RANK // RANGE: // DURATION: 1 // CD: 2) Kinetic Surge Jutsu is a powerful psychic ninjutsu that channels telekinetic energy through the hands, generating a compressed wave of force resembling dense wind. Upon impact, it delivers a deep blunt force trauma capable of sending opponents flying, making it a defensive technique in close-quarters combat. This can knock away projectiles and thwart certain D and C-rank projectile ninjutsu.

MIND GRASP JUTSU (心掌)
(C-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 2 // CD: 4)
The Mind Grasp technique allows members of the Majutsuchi clan to manipulate inanimate objects within a short range using telekinetic powers. By focusing their chakra and holding Dog hanseal, they establish a psychic connection with the surrounding environment, enabling them to lift, move, and throw multiple objects with their mind. This can be used to remotely activate traps or exploding tags. While limited to objects lacking chakra or elemental energy, skilled users can wield this ability with precision and versatility in both combat and utility scenarios. When using this Jutsu, Majutsuchi lose control over their imprinted item(s) and the weight of objects thrown depends on the level of chakra.

SERENITY JUTSU (平静)
(B-RANK // RANGE: // DURATION: 0 // CD: 0)
Serenity is a self-based genjutsu unique to the Majutsuchi clan, which manipulates the user's perception to dull all physical pain and distort their sense of time, allowing for heightened reaction speed. The user's consciousness becomes enveloped in an ethereal tranquility, shielding them from the burdens of sensations.

ETHERIAL SOAR (霊的飛翔)
(B-RANK // RANGE: SELF // DURATION: 5 // CD: 3)
The most famous of the Majutsuchi clan’s hidden jutsu. Using the psychic dominion of their Kekkei Genkei, the Majutsuchi submerges their body in chakra, granting levitation and moderate speed flight.

ECHOING MIND ASSAULT (鳴り響く心襲撃)
(A-RANK // RANGE: MODERATE // DURATION: 3 // CD: 5)
The Majutsuchi clan member activates this powerful Yin-based jutsu by unleashing a psychic scream that bears enough power to deal deep blunt force damage and knock away anyone within close range. The echo of the Majutsuchi’s voice reverberates outward and invades the motor cortex of the brain with negative energy of anyone not connected into the user’s hive mind, inverting the control of the right leg and the left arm, and the right arm of the left leg. The vision of the right eye and the left eye are changed. This effect can be nullified by extreme positivity and outsmarted by masters of Taijutsu, who have great physical intelligence, by the second or third post.

SECRET MAJUTSUCHI TECHNIQUE: DARK BLOOD UNLEASHED (漢字: 暗闇の血液解放)
(S-RANK // RANGE: MODERATE // DURATION: 6 // CD: Once Per Thread)
This forbidden yin-based kuchiyose merges illusion with reality, causing nearby surfaces to ooze black blood as five large and powerful demonic entities materialize, wreaking havoc indiscriminately and acting independently. Usage is strictly prohibited within or near Kumogakure, permitted only twice per user's lifetime. The first activation induces a paralyzing migraine, while the second results in a fatal brain aneurysm. Only the Queen and Consort are permitted to learn this forbidden jutsu. This requires staff permission to use while within an event thread.
