KIRIGAKURE, the kaguya clan

[attr="class","nintales-title"]「 かぐや 」the kaguya clan,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]






Among the most aggressive and vocal of the clans within the Bloody Mist, the Kaguya Clan are comprised of shinobi trained in savage battle tactics and traditional values. Members also inherit an uncanny ability to manipulate their own bone structure to weaponize in battle— this kekkei genkai, called Shikotsumyaku, is so effective in physical combat that many call it the “ultimate taijutsu ability”.

[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]CLAN MEMBER CHARACTERISTICS,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]

Members of the Kaguya clan possess skin tones that range between pale and tanned, and they traditionally cut their eyebrows short and possess a zigzagged cranial pattern— which they view as a sign of the purity of their blood. Kaguya Clan members also tend to keep their hair in old, traditional styles and paint their clan's symbol, two red dots, on their foreheads to showcase their pride.

Kaguya Clan members are noted for being exceptionally savage and battle-hungry, having no tactics when entering battle and starting fights unnecessarily out of their own bloodlust and need to show off their ferocity. They often refuse to back down, preferring to fight to the death simply to entertain their own bloodlust.

[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]THE KAGUYA CLAN IN MODERN DAY,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]

Though once close to extinction, the Kaguya Clan have found resurgence in recent years as welcome citizens of Kirigakure. Their bloodlust is appreciated by the village, although the alliance between clan and village is a shaky one at best. The Kaguya Clan remain as ferocious and wild as they were centuries past, and it is their respect for the Bloody Mist’s brutal policies that keep them from revolting against the Mizukage.

Their members possess a different body structure than others and, unfortunately, responds differently to healing techniques and medicines. As a result, traditional healing techniques hardly work on Kaguya Clan members, and any injuries they receive must be healed in a natural manner if possible.

[attr="class","nintales-subtitle"]KAGUYA CLAN ABILITIES,

[attr="class","nintales-body"]


The Kaguya Clan’s signature kekkei genkai which gives its user the ability to manipulate their own bones to lethal effect. They can control their osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and regulate their own bones’ calcium and density to harden them like steel. So long as their chakra does not run low, users of Shikotsumyaku can take advantage of these abilities without limit.
[break][break]
With Shikotsumyaku, users can grow new bones anywhere on their body, using them as weapons or even launching them like bullets or spears over shorter distances. This versatility makes Shikotsumyaku a most excellent ability to be used in tandem with taijutsu.

(C-RANK // RANGE: LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user parts their fingertips, creating holes that expose hardened finger bones. In volleys they the shoot these bone bullets at a target by swinging their hand. These projectiles travel very quickly and, upon impact, can tear through skin and flesh with ease, as well as pierce samurai armor. Techniques above B-Rank can block or deflect these bullets.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 2 // CD: 4) The user produces long, hardened bones from their body that can puncture opponents, dealing serious damage while they dance and move across the battlefield like the branches of a willow tree in the wind. Movements while using this technique are mostly evasive.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) When the user is about to be attacked with taijutsu or another physical attack, they can sprout bones from parts or all of their body, causing the attacker to skewer themselves. The stronger and faster the attack, the greater the counterattack damage will be.[break][break]


(B-RANK // RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) The user lengthens their spine and unsheathes the extended segment from the base of their neck to use as a whip, which they reinforce by sharpening each vertebrae into spikes. When this spine whip is wrapped around a target, it holds them in place, making them susceptible to follow-up attacks.[break][break]


(B-RANK // RANGE: SHORT-MED // DURATION: NA // CD: 4) The user concentrates all their Shikotsumyaku powers into the creation of a single bone weapon, made as hard as possible with a considerable amount of chakra. Wielded as a slow but powerful battering ram or a spear, this weapon is often used in conjunction with Dance of the Clematis: Spear to better increase its accuracy.[break][break]


(A-RANK // RANGE: LONG // DURATION: 3 (unless incapacitated) // CD: ONCE PER THREAD) The user produces as many as ten thousand blades of bone that sprout from the earth, piercing and skewering indiscriminately over a large area. If targets should escape this technique, the user can merge and emerge from any single of their summoned bone blades, chasing their targets to finish them off with an attack. This technique creates a veritable forest of bones, with each bone reaching as tall as trees towards the sky.

[attr="class","nintales-body"]

This is a clan that can be freely applied for. When creating your character, note your role in the clan and whether you're taking up any leadership responsibilities. If you are creating a leader, you are expected to actually direct your clan and make decisions regarding its activities. Due to the powerful nature of shikotsumyaku, positions will be limited, and no new spots will be added.[break][break]
