Clan History:


Storytellers. Orators. Keepers of ancient secrets. The Kuinshī is an old clan, with older secrets. They are the keepers of an ancient library, one that recorded the history of man before the time of shinobi. Nowadays, the clan is little more than a family name but at a time in history, the Kuinshī were revered.

The clan were infamous as shamans, priests and priestess of the old religions; men and women whose lives were inexplicably tied with the deities they worshiped. To the people around them, the Kuinshī were strange folk, obsessed with what they believed were 'the spirits of the world'. Mythical creatures; dragons, dijinn's and aspects of the elements, just to name a few. The Kuinshī worshiped them all, and in return were protected by these creatures.

As time passed, the old religions fell and the world of the Shinobi rose. The collective deities, knowing that they would have no place in the 'modern' world, gathered their followers for one last request. The Divine Court, as they were known, gave their followers one final decree; the members of the Kuinshī clan were tasked with carrying on the legacy of the Divine Court. The Kuinshī were to keep the stories of the of the Court alive through the ages; in return the Kuinshī would forever be protected by them.


But those of the Kuinshī clan took this literally, They were angered that their Gods were cast aside by the rest of the world in favor of the teachings of Nishu and Ninjutsu. The elders of the clan declared that the followers of Ninshu were weak; there was to be War! In the name of the Divine Court, the followers of Ninsho and Ninjutsu were to be exterminated by the degree of their Gods.

It was at this point in time, the clan changed their purpose in life; rather than preserving the memories of their Gods, the Kuinshī weaponized them. They called upon their gods, and bound them to their mortal bodies to grant themselves immense power – the ability to harmonize with their god's natural power in a heightened state of awareness. At the same time, knowing that thier fallen gods lifeforce was scattered in the very air around them, the clan found a way to harness it; they forged talismens made from a special living metal to gather thier god's power for them so that the clan members would not have to actively focus upon doing so. Through these methods, the clan transitioned themselves from humble orators and storytellers into warriors, armed with weapons fashion from the lifeforce of their gods. Their goal was simple in the beginning; to prove their Gods – and by extension themselves –  worthy to exist. This gave birth to the strange, warped sense of philosophy within the clan, that of Sword Logic.


Armed with this new understanding of the world and themselves, the Kuinshī set out into the world. Through their talismens, the Kuinshī channeled the might and fury their forgotten gods, an ability they called Seiken, and began their campaign of destruction of the followers of Ninshu and Ninjutsu. They attacked everywhere they were able to, forcibly recruiting those they conquered into their cause by demonstrating the power of their gods. It was not long until the clan found the eyes of the world turned upon them, including those of the Rikudō Sennin. Upon hearing how the Kuinshī wished to preserve the existence of their gods, he approached the elders of the clan to speak.


Through his words, the Rikudō Sennin was able to convince the Kuinshī to abandon their campaign of destruction. He informed him that their mark on history was surely set, given all they had done. He revived the Kuinshī's gods to them in their full glory, something the Kuinshī were grateful for, but it came at a price – the Kuinshī, once the harbingers of this World's End, were charged to protect it, to keep the world going along its natural course. The Kuinshī agreed, and settled themselves as the watchful guardians of the world.



Kekkei Genkai Description: The Kuinshī are a unique clan in that they are able to utilize aspects of Senjutsu without having access to Sage Mode.  Upon completing their initial clan training, each member of the Kuinshī recieves a special clan talisman. This talisman passively gathers the natural energy around them. This item is entirely non-combat, and as such has no innate offensive or defensive abilities what so ever, merely acting as a collector and container for the senjutsu chakra gathered.

Name: Talisman
Type: Unique
Description: This does not require a Negative SC. [Describe your item]

Code:

[b]Name:[/b] Talisman
[b]Type:[/b] Unique
[b]Description:[/b] This does not require a Negative SC. [Describe your item]

This clan starts with Bukijutsu as their primary and Senjutsu [D Rank] as their secondary specialization; which much be trained following normal Specialization training rules.

Kuinshī clan members are able to passively sense chakra signatures around them in  15 meter radius as. This effect cannot be hidden from unless a senjutsu stealth technique is used to do so.

In the event that a Kuinshi member uses Final Form, they must undergo a ten thousand word training in order to unlock thier KKG once more. During this thread, the user mus make a sacrifice to thier patron diety, and reforge thier talisman.

Drawbacks: While the clan itself utilizes Senjutsu and Nature Chakra, the clan members are incapable of taking on a random Sage Mode, or training in any existing Sage Style. The clan is forced to take their custom Sage Mode if they wish to utilize one.

Members of the Kuinshī clan are only able to use three specializations, and cannot take Hesitant [Specialization] as a negative SC.

Members of the Kuinshī are not able to use any elemental nature naturally.

The talisman used by the Kuinshi is essentially an E rank Item. If the talisman is broken by means other than the user attempting to use Final Form, the user must under take a fifteen thousand word training during which they must make a sacrifice to thier patron diety, and forge a new talisman.

Description: The Kuinshi, by  regulating the chara within themselves and thier talisman as well as syncing the sum total of thier sage chakra between the two, are able to activate this ascended form. While the asthetic details of this teqnique will vary from person to person, there are several core perks of this technique that do not change;

Chakra from these blocked techniques can optionally be transfered to the Kuinshi's weapons, giving them the elemental affinity of the blocked technique for a single strike.
  

Name: Destruction Sage: Final Form
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Element: /
Range: Self
Specialty: Senjutsu
Duration: Five Posts | Six posts.
Cooldown: Once Per Thread
Description: Once a Qunicy has mastered the basics introduced in thier Completed Holy Form , for an additional ten thousand words [10,000] they are able to unlock this ability. The Kuinshi, by destroying thier talisman and drawing the sum total of thier sage chakra from it and into thier body, are able to activate this ascended form. If this technique is activated while Completed Holy Form is already active, then the effects are able to be extended for one more post than normal. While the asthetic details of this teqnique will vary from person to person, there are several core perks of this technique that do not change;

• The user's techniques while in this form recieve a full +1 [damage, interaction, ect], and are considered one rank higher than they are stated to be [A technique stated to be C rank will be treated as if it were B rank coming from the user, and will interact with other techniques as if it were A].
  
• The user recieves a +2 tiers to a single stat of thier choice.
  
• The user gains two,  meter wide wing made from senjutsu chakra that is capable of blocking and destroying a single jutsu that is not senjutsu enhanced that comes into contact with it. This effect can only be performed once every three posts per wing. Chakra from these blocked techniques are then transfered into the weapons of the Kuinshi, enhancing them by one rank for a single strike, as well as giving them the elemental affinity of the blocked technique for that strike.
  

However, there is a reason as to why this technique is called 'Final Form'. When a Kuinshi enters this form, they are destroying thier link to thier gods by breaking thier talisman. While the Kuinshi will recieve an great boost in raw power and damage output, at the end of the duration, the Kuinshi is locked out of thier KKG and unable to utilize it anymore for the remainder of the thread.

Note: If this technique is used while Completed Holy Form is active, it overwrites the effects of it. In addtion, the duration of this technique is extended by one post.
