Among the most persecuted clans in Kirigakure history, the Yuki Clan are powerful ninjutsu users whose persecution is a result of fear towards their efficacy during war; as a result, they live in a quiet corner of Kirigakrue. While they generally keep to themselves, they are not above defending their home with lethal force. Its members continue to be born with the rare Ice Release kekkei genkai.

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

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

Yuki Clan members are born with dark hair and pale skin, possessing traditionally feminine and ‘beautiful’ appearances, even if they are male. Due to being persecuted in the past for having ‘cursed blood’, they generally prefer to keep peaceful and quiet lives away from the activities of the ‘Bloody Mist’.

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

Unlike other clans in the Bloody Mist, the Yuki Clan seem to remain neutral or indifferent towards the village’s activities as opposed to openly supporting or denouncing it. Clan members are quiet, serene, and keep to themselves, but when called upon to defend the village, will do so without complaint. They continue to send their children to be trained as shinobi, but many such children return to live quiet lives with the rest of the clan after their training, where they continue to develop their kekkei genkai under the tutelage of clan leaders.

Comining Water and Wind Release to create Ice Release, the Yuki Clan was once feared for their incredibly rare and powerful kekkei genkai. The ice created through Ice Release techniques are incredibly resistant to heat, and require chakra-infused fire to be melted. Ice Release users can also lower their surroundings’ temperature, causing snow to fall, and freeze large bodies of water at a time.

(D-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 2 (unless broken) // CD: 3) The user condenses the moisture in the atmosphere into swords of ice, which they can then use as conventional weaponry. These swords possess the same durability and sharpness as regular blades, and melt after a certain amount of time passes unless they are broken beforehand.[break][break]


(D-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: NA // CD: 2) The user covers their fist with ice to block incoming taijutsu attacks. This technique can be used to defend against taijutsu at or below D-Rank, lessen the damage significantly from C-Rank attacks, but is not very effective at mitigating the damage of physical strikes from stronger attacks.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user summons large spikes of ice which emerge from the ground to impale everything within a short radius around the user. The rate at which this occurs makes this technique difficult to dodge in tight spaces, and easier to avoid if there is ample room for escape.[break][break]


(C-RANK // RANGE: MED-LONG // DURATION: NA // CD: 3) The user unleashes a barrage of ice darts. The intensity of the cold is so great that should a person attempt to block them, it will cause severe damage to the afflicted limb or body part.[break][break]


(B-RANK // RANGE: SHORT// DURATION: 2 (unless broken) // CD: 4) The user quickly freezes the surrounding air to create an icy, transparent igloo-like dome around themselves or an ally to act as a defense. It is strong enough to withstand the assault of a dozen explosive tags at once, remaining almost undamaged. This technique cannot be used if the surrounding air lacks moisture, and can be broken through with techniques above B-Rank.[break][break]


(A-RANK // RANGE: SHORT // DURATION: 2 (unless broken) // CD: ONCE PER THREAD) The user creates several large mirrors out of ice, which they surround a target with. The user’s reflection will appear on all mirrors, giving the appearance that they occupy all of them simultaneously. They can then jump between the mirrors and attack from them quickly, making their movements exceptionally hard to track and allowing them to overwhelm their targets’ senses. It is difficult, but to impossible to escape these mirrors if a target are trapped within, but it is usually easier to have an ally from outside assist in their escape.

[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 ice release, positions will be limited, and no new spots will be added.[break][break]
