D-rank
Symbol:
Clan: Aeko (安依子一族, Aeko Ichizoku)
Clan: Aeko (安依子一族, Aeko Ichizoku)
Kekkei Genkai: Ancient Wisdom (古代•悟性, Kodai-Gosei)
Specialization: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu (recommended, not required)
Location: Scattered.
Clan History: This is no clan. This is something far beyond.
It's spirituality.
Ancient Wisdom does not awaken itself in a specific line of people, a clan, per se. It may be concentrated there, but by no means does it limit itself to one strict set of genetics. The Aeko are only a select group whose origins and traditions lie heavily within their zeal. They do not worship a god they can see, nor one they associate with any one thing. They, rather, revere the world and its workings. Not placing it on high nor giving it any special properties, such devotion lies solely within what could be called appreciation.
Their abilities developed slowly fom this; their extraordinary way with the manipulation of elements and their attunemement with nature arose from their great respect for the things that compose this world. The supreme chakra control came later, when the clan became attuned to the idea of internal energies, and perhaps this is also around the time that chakra and ninja arts became widespread. Their adeptness with many ninja arts was an evolution in self-defense of the peaceful lifestyle they always led. The Ninja Wars doubly devastated the numbers of this people; the initial casualties not sufficient, the mindset of wars and between wars led to a decrease in the number of people who shared such ideals. Even at this time, only a few small compounds remain, ever willing to take in those that share their ability. Not to proliferate, no, nor to become a great and known clan.
Yes, the truest wish of an Aeko is to do a most spectacular thing:
To live. To be. To be free.
Kekkei Genkai Description: As a general trait, all Aeko possess hyperpigmentation of the iris, with comparatively normal or even small amounts of melanin. This means that no matter what color it is, the iris will be piercingly vibrant.
- Clan Taijutsu Style:
- Boundless Flow Fist (意万里満潮, Ibanri Manshio; contracted Iban) is a largely self-defensive, technically hybrid Taijutsu style. It involves a static set of katas that can be combined with each other; the Eight Liths and the Six Steps are the cornerstone of this martial art. The Liths are arm positions created for different leverages, parries, and manipulations. The Steps are footwork created for even more leverage, and, most importantly to the style, effective dodging. While the katas are set in stone, the applications are not; each individual user creates their own expression of the combination of these fourteen stance components. Fourty-six different combinations to memorize means that the chances of an Iban practitioner being predictable are slim, not even considering individual variations. (A revamp of this clan is requested once all the Liths and Steps are formulated.)
Those who learn this heavily guarded style also are instructed in the channeling of internal chi. Due to this, all of their physical stats like Strength and Speed do not originate from training of the muscles or bones, only from chi. This also allows them to keep normal balance even when not in stances that would normally allow it. The focus here is on moving, preferably as little as possible, to dodge the opponent's attacks, and developing one's sensitivity and internal chi. To this end, they can use body movements similar to stances, gestures, and rarely, attacks in place of hand seals. (This saves them neither time nor energy, and does not result in a more efficacious jutsu, but it is a different outlet.)
The ability to dodge is key in this style, and its most powerful (for some users, its only) attacks occur when an opponent's attack fails because of their dodging. This style's offense only consists of breaking bones and injuring muscles or connective tissue via attacks on the joints, but also upsetting the opponent's balance as a lesser attack.
Iban focuses largely on spatial awareness, and those who choose this Taijutsu style gain their initial bonus in Perception as opposed to Speed or Strength.
- The forms and techniques of the Aeko are a spiritual journey exploring the energies of the body and of the earth, very much akin to Ninshū. (They use Chi, not chakra, to execute techniques; however, due to Chi flowing through the meridian systems of the body and being a form of energy, it interacts with other chakra as if it were chakra itself.)
- Aeko are so attuned with nature in mind, body, and chi that they are unable to be differentiated from the surroundings by Sage Mode and sensory techniques derived from its method. They can use Supernatural Walking Practice on any surface made of a naturally occurring (forged metal, for example, is excluded). They must know at least one Specialization to control their energy to this extent, however.
- Due to their heavy attunement with nature around them, and their control over their inner energies, Aeko can learn a third specialization and element at D-rank. They can learn their fourth specialization and element at C-rank. They can train their fourths to A-rank for 10000 words apiece.
- They can use multiple elements in the same jutsu due to their complete mastery.
Drawbacks:
- Aeko cannot learn Kugutsu, and cannot use metal weapons or wear metal equipment or flak jackets. Wooden bladed weapons are only effective up to D-rank; A or S-ranks are as effective as C-ranks. Alternative materials are typically not the preferred ones for a reason, and these items are as durable as an item of 1 rank lower. (They obtain no Starter Pack items except a Hitai-ate of wood; if a Ronin, they receive an item of equal value to it.)
- Aeko may be able to attain great feats of ability, but they do not get there easily; such people to fall under this 'clan' are known for being quite mediocre ninja without proper motivation or guidance due to their spirits being so free. (This may be the reason that a good deal of th do not become ninja at all.) No Aeko starts with Primary or Secondary specs or elements; they must learn them for 1000 words and train them according to the Guidelines. (However, they do not need to pay Ryo to be taugh these first two without a player teaching them.)
- A spec/element may not be learned or trained until the spec/element preceding it is (1. Two ranks higher than the ninja's rank, and (2. One rank higher than the rank the second, third, or fourth spec/element is going to be trained to.
- In addition, learning or training specs/elements at any rank takes 1000 extra words.
- The training for specializations and elements must be relevant. Normal social topics cannot be used for this.
- An Aeko gets no Academy jutsu, and must learn them as a regular jutsu.
- Senjutsu may not be learned as a D-rank ninja.
- They are taught to use resourcefulness and strategy as opposed to raw power; they have one less S-rank jutsu at all ranks. In addition, whatever S or SS-rank jutsu they may obtain cannot be Offensive.
- Aeko must train each rank of the Energy Extending Art as if it were its own jutsu. This does not cost Ryo.
- They must take the Peacemaker trait without balancing it.

- Code:
[b]Name:[/b] Peacemaker
[b]Type:[/b] Negative; Active
[b]Details:[/b] Due to a profound sense of connectedness with the universe, the person will do everything in their power to not kill their foes (and other people in general); they will avoid causing great harm, due to feeling it hurts more than one person. Neither, of course, will they allow others to do so: the individual then, expends himself protecting the foe and team mates from each other's attacks until the battle is resolved gently, either by capturing the foe, or either party flees. The user cannot of their own accord take any mission that involves killing the target.
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
- Spoiler:
- Name: Energy Extending Art (氣混在の術, Kikonzai-no-jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Custom.
Rank: E-A.
Type: Defensive.
Element: None.
Range: 2m, 6m, 12m, 28m, 72m. See below.
Specialty: Ijutsu | Ninjutsu.
Duration: Passive.
Cooldown: None.
Description: Possibly most famous among the Aeko's line of arts, a technique which allows the user to connect with the surroundings, and it is one they practice constantly. This technique meshes the user's energies with that of the environs, allowing them to perceive within the the range of this technique using not only the human senses, but a detection of life itself; by sensing living things, so too can they sense people, that is to say, ninja. By staying in one spot and making bare-skin contact with the ground or a living thing in contact with the ground, the user can multiply their normal range by two on the first post, and by three instead on the second. The passive and metitative versions of this technique technique both cost no chakra, but the caster cannot be using offensive jutsu during its meditative utilisation. By using this technique through a living, cognitive organism, the user can detect those within range with strong bonds or ties to the subject.
At A-rank or higher, the Aeko can meditate for up to three posts, multiplying range by 4x.
