Clan Name: Sōseiji
Location: Scattered
Specialization: Ninjutsu
Elements: N/A



Clan History: The Sōseiji clan was originally one of two armies fighting in a civil war, from an expansive village in a minor country. They overcame their enemy using a powerful ninjutsu that their leader (a man whose name has been lost in history, and is now only referred to as "Genten") created which allowed for hyperrealistic, semi-permanent clones. Having won the war and assumed control of the village, they thrived there as a booming community, and the clone technique became their hiden. Shortly after the Genten's death, the Sōseiji's village was bombarded by attacks from raiders and missing ninja alike who sought to steal the secret to the clone technique. Higher-ups in the village were killed ritualistically, often symbolically cut in half by the invaders and held up in public places within the village as a warning to others who dared to resist. The survivors, rather than giving up their hiden to be abused by the raiders, set off a trap and destroyed the village with a large-scale collaboration jutsu using their clones and paper bombs. Leaving the ruins of their past behind, they became nomads, and now live in places across all five great nations, their glory days long forgotten but their clone jutsu stronger than ever.

Kekkei Genkai Name: Second Star: Eizō Bunshin no Jutsu (二星映像分身の術)
Kekkei Genkai Description: The Sōseiji are extremely proficient in the use of clone jutsu, and are experts in chakra control. Their biggest claim to fame is hiden clone jutsu that has been passed down through every generation, and remains unknown to anyone outside of the clan. The clones that they can create, often called Eizō, are formed by essentially splitting the chakra and life force of their creator in two; this makes them unique from other clones in that they cannot be dissipated through typical physical damage, and thus must be killed the same way a human would. An Eizō is made of flesh and bone, and it possess all of the characteristics, jutsu, and even personality of the user, but it cannot speak, though it is able to communicate with its creator telepathically since they share the same mind.

Drawbacks: Sōseiji are trained in Ninjutsu and clone techniques, but they have a hard time utilizing multiple fighting styles and elements, and thus are less versatile as a result. All members of the clan must either take the Hesistant (Element) -or- Hesistant (Specialization) special characteristic without a positive characteristic to balance it. In order to create an Eizō, the user sacrifices half of their max chakra and it becomes the Eizō's source of chakra. If an Eizō is killed, the user's chakra is not returned to normal for the rest of the thread. Finally, when they don't have their hiden or some other clone jutsu active, Sōseiji have a much harder time taking in their surroundings and adjusting to them accordingly due to being used to having more than one perspective; as such, their perception and reaction time stats are both two tiers lower without a clone on the battlefield.
