Clan: Jōruri
Location: Scattered
Specialization: Kugutsu
Elements: Any


Clan History: Once it had been realized that the human consciousness and chakra system could be stored away into vessels, it didn't take long for many to attempt the ghastly process. As time has passed, the technology and ability to do this has only improved, and it has now been seen accomplished in a few rare cases scattered all about. The origins of these strange individuals are all incredibly unique, as the cases of this human puppet transformation are very few and far between. To some it is horrific, to others it is art.

This is not a bloodline or a clan. The last name of the character created with this concept is up to each individual.
Members: As of yet none.


Kekkei Genkai: Puppet Anatomy
Kekkei Genkai Description:
Puppet Anatomy
Members of this clan are, in almost every way, puppets. Every part of the body is made out of the same materials as any puppet would be and reflects the same durability and damage capabilities as what an item of that rank would be capable of. The stats of the clansmen are reflected by the values of the rank their body is.

D-rank: D-0 stats
C-rank: C-0 stats
B-rank: B-0 stats
A-rank: A-0 stats
S-rank: S-0 stats

Every clansmen begins with a D-rank body and two free D rank puppet modifications (Senbon launchers, flame-throwers, armored plating etc)

As a concession for the user, if they wish to, they may app modifications in place of a weapon slot (C-rank puppets can have up to 4 modifications etc) that can maximize a stat to tier 3 of their current rank. They may only do this with available mod slots of EQUAL rank to their body.

Example: An A-ranked puppet may have 2 A-ranked mods. The rest are lower. This means an A-ranked clansmen could only possibly trade in 2 of his total modifications to gain 2 A-3 stats.

In addition, any previous modification which raised the base stat can be simply upgraded to the next rank up, as they become useless when the user does a full body upgrade.

Immune to Human Error
This is in fact a double edged blade, which ought to be considered among the benefits and drawbacks of puppet anatomy. As they are not organic in any way, the stats of the clansmen cannot be increased or decreased by means of buffs and debuffs which interact with a human anatomy to gain effect. They are also wholly immune to any forms of medical ninjutsu that would act on the body's normal functions, Such as the nervous system or blood of a victim, as no such thing exists for a puppet. Medical Ninjutsu such as chakra scalpel are completely unaffected.

This Isn't A Body
Impressively, because they do not possess an anatomical body, they cannot use Taijutsu in the sense of specialty, but they may use Kugutsu to accomplish many of the same feats. For instance, one may harden and strengthen their puppet arm to deliver an enhanced punch. Kugutsu takes on new properties once the user himself becomes a puppet. As such, any abilities that would require or interact with Taijutsu interact with Kugutsu in the same way.

Unnatural Puppetry
Due to the unique nature of the puppet body, The puppet technique has a distinct when used by a human puppet. Being the fact that the chakra strings used from the technique are created from the core of the user, rather than the fingers, with the benefits that entails, such as it not requiring hands. However, this is incredibly unnatural for an inexperienced shinobi. Because of this, until a ninja achieves the rank of Special Jōnin (B rank) The only chakra strings they can manifest are of the Multiple control type.

Drawbacks:
Living Weapon
Once biological anatomy is given up, there are certain aspects of life one may never touch again. Biological evolution and improvement are two of those aspects. As a living weapon, every physical aspect of the clansmen's body is dependent upon how the body has been apped. They may not increase stats through mere training, but must app and purchase upgrades to obtain higher ability.

Unfeeling
Without a nervous system, the clansmen must take the negative SC Numb without balancing it with a positive. While the clansmen's taste is not affected, there is little to no benefit from consuming food anyway.

Unnatural
The living puppet would classify as a monstrosity to most, and is outside of nature. They receive +1 level of damage from both Senjutsu and Fuinjutsu. They may also never take Senjutsu. Additionally, Pets have a much more difficult time bonding with such a person, Increasing the training requirements and cost of Seijutsu by 20%. Additionally, A pet for Seijutsu costs 20% more. (Due to having to specifically find a pet willing to even so much as approach the living puppet.)

Chakra Core
The users consciousness and chakra is stored within the core. This core typically sits within the chest of the user, but can be anywhere on the body. It is what gives the puppet life, and contains everything the user ever is or ever will be. If destroyed, the character is dead. End of story. Strikes from things which interrupt chakra flow, if applied directly to the core will have the same effect, shutting down the Jōruri clansmen as if pulling the batteries out of a robot. This does not kill them, only renders them unconscious. Additionally, all of the ninja's puppets are considered to have a slot for the core to be placed, An ally (or particularly chivalrous enemy) may place the core in another one of the user's puppets as use as a makeshift body for the rest of the thread (at which point the original body is automatically considered repaired.) While in the body of an actual puppet, the user only has the same stats equal to that puppet's rank, as if it was his own rank.
The core has a durability equal to the rank of the users puppet body. It is a 6 inch cylinder, with a girth of about 3 inches.

Locked In
Once a human has sealed his/her "soul" or consciousness into the chakra core, they surrender the ability to learn new elemental natures. Members of this clan begin with only one chakra nature, the one they were born with. The second chakra nature they possess exists, but lies dormant within them. They may access this upon reaching Chunin, and it will begin then at D-rank. They may never learn a 3rd or 4th element.

-You need to put this into the new clan template, which is in the clans guideline.
-Kekkai Genkai Jutsu are no longer a thing, so you will have to remove them.
-Your Chakra Core, while totally fine, is probably more of a drawback than a positive.
-What would happen to the other senses besides Touch? Would you lose taste as well?

Honestly, other than what is above, this seems pretty good.

Cheers for being quick about moderating it. Though I do wonder, In the clan guidelines, Kekkei Genkai jutsu are indeed there. Is that a mistake? Also I've swapped some things around and added stuff.

If it is in there it is indeed a mistake. Kekkai Genkai jutsu cannot be apped with the clan anymore. You are able to app them seperately but you have to train and pay for them like any other jutsu.

You also still need the clan template with the red banners and whatnot.

AAA turns out i was looking on the old page because I still used the old link rip me. Anyway, that should be good
