Myōsome Clan: 妙染一族, Myōsome Ichizoku
Location: Scattered (Wanderer Only); can never join Iwa or Kiri.
Specialization: Ninjutsu.
Elements: None.
Clan History: This Bloodline began first as a Hiden, practiced in its imperfect form by a loosely-bound group of people: otherwise non-notable ninja who shared a desire to know more about the secrets of chakra. As with all things, however, the desire for knowledge slowly transformed into a lust for power. Their development of various techniques was upset by the Second Shinobi World War, although the heavy and widespread conflict of the Third served as a perfect time for the gang to collect test subjects and further their research into the workings of their new - and forbidden - jutsu. Three months after the Third Shinobi War ended, the stronghold they had managed to keep until then was destroyed by the rubble dislodged in the Tragedy of Yosuga Pass; before this, they were humble neutral residents of the border between Earth Country and Water Country.
Nearly a decade passed, and one of their ilk had his Kekkei Genkai stripped from him, though the manifestation was not as potent as a natural user of the style, even if the thief's chakra certainly made his techniques impressive. In the centuries that followed, however, they branched out, staying hidden underground. Few lived to see their techniques and tell the tale, and even those have been lost to history's weave.
Struggling out of the raging sea of time, their blood is fortified. It's filled with hate, with resentment. With longing.
Members: Hiruko (Stolen Kekkei Genkai)
Kekkei Genkai:
Advanced Chakra Control, Dark Release ⌠高度チャクラ制・冥遁, Kōdo Chakra-Sei: Meiton⌡Kekkei Genkai Description: Dark Release is an outdated misnomer from earlier times, as it has been discovered that it is not an advanced nature transformation. Rather, it is pure control over mental and physical energies; as such, having "KKG" in the Specialization section of a jutsu is enough to distinguish a technique as using Meiton.
A user of 'Dark Release' can exert much more acute control over their own chakra than those without, making exceedingly complex jutsu even at low ranks. This strong form of chakra control can even control others' chakra using jutsu, either in the form of controlling their jutsu or directly siphoning chakra. Supplementary jutsu that control chakra, when used by a Myōsome, ignore bonuses to interaction, such as from Senjutsu. (This negates both the Myōsome and the opponent's bonuses to interaction. Jutsu and effects that grant a full +1 rank in power are not negated, and this does not ignore elemental interaction.)
Dark Release requires users have a mark on their palm, as this is the primary entrance to the secondary chakra pool. Concentrated Tenketsu form this mark, giving those with it a total of 403 rather than 361; Each Meiton marking may be different, but always consist of two identical shapes overlapping in some fashion. Jutsu that require hand seals allow the caster to absorb chakra through the mouth, as well.
- Chakra Absorption:
- Any jutsu a Myōsome creates with a speed, power, and range lower than maximum for the rank, or a drawback of some sort (moderator judgement on both), can drain a small amount of the victim's chakra at the same time as it executes its primary aim, as an additional effect listed in the jutsu. This auxiliary effect begins at D-rank jutsu (drains 5) and increases to 10 at B and 15 at S.
If chakra absorption is the main effect of a technique, it can drain chakra equal to its own cost +5. Maintainable techniques can drain chakra equal to the maintenance cost +5 per post, or half the maintenance cost per hit (so a -5 maintenance cost would take 2 hits to drain 5 from the victim); drawbacks can increase this number, but not by more than 5 over the normal amount.
Meiton defensive or supplementary jutsu can negate or absorb all traces of the targeted jutsu, reducing collateral damage and auxiliary effects to zero.- Such techniques, as their sole ability, may neutralize 1 technique of 1 rank higher, 1 technique of equal rank, or 2 of 1 rank lower.
- However, such a technique may also instead grant the caster Dark Chakra equal to the absorbed jutsu. However, it can then only absorb one technique of equal rank, or 2 of 1 rank lower.
- Such techniques, as their sole ability, may neutralize 1 technique of 1 rank higher, 1 technique of equal rank, or 2 of 1 rank lower.
- Dark Chakra Pool:
- The chakra absorbed from other entities cannot mix with the user's; unlike techniques that share chakra, which can let the chakra flow naturally, stealing it causes a hostile inbalance in the mental energy comprising the chakra. Thus, a Dark Chakra Pool evolved in users of Dark Release to store this chakra, known as Dark Chakra. Both of these are, like the Kekkei Genkai's name, misnomers, as there is nothing wicked or truly corrupt about the chakra except for the ill will carried by it from its owner via mental energy.
Stealing chakra from others can only fill the Dark Chakra pool, and does not replenish the caster's normal reserves in any way. Unless stated so by a jutsu, this also cannot confer any other positive effects. Because they stole it from someone else, they cannot use it for the activation or maintenance costs of techniques.
Elemental techniques absorbed by Dark Release, or chakra stolen from someone casting or maintaining an elemental technique, will grant the wielder Elemental Dark Chakra of the same element. (The amount of each element's chakra that has been absorbed should be noted by the Myōsome.)
The Dark Chakra Pool can only contain one element at D-rank, or two at A-rank. If they absorb more elements than they can hold, they must abandon one nature, though they do not lose the chakra.- Chakra Infusion:
- One would think that, due to being unable to cast jutsu with it, Dark Chakra is useless. They can, however, infuse techniques of their own with stolen chakra, essentially "pumping up" an already structured technique by simply giving it more "fuel". Jutsu with this capability must be applied for as such, with modified attributes included.
By paying Dark Chakra 5 less than a jutsu's activation cost, the Myōsome can increase one of the attributes of that jutsu (speed, range, power, auxiliary) up to the next rank's equivalent. Alternatively, if Elemental Dark Chakra was used, they can add an auxiliary effect to the technique relevant to the element.
If a jutsu has two such bonuses applied, it is treated as having a full +1 rank in power, and thus interacts with other jutsu as if it was a rank higher. No attribute can be increased twice this way, normally; once a technique 'ranks up' due to Chakra Infusion, the same jutsu attribute can be increased again.
Example: Gen uses "Dark Release: Inhaling Maw" to absorb an incoming C-rank jutsu, gaining 15 chakra from it. He then casts "Ninja Art: Tile Shuriken", a D-rank jutsu.
By paying 5 chakra (5 less than the jutsu's cost of 10 chakra), he can increase its power, which normally deals 3/4" cuts, to the next rank's equivalent; because it has maximum power at D-rank, when boosted it now deals 1 1/2" cuts, the C-rank maximum.
However, he cannot use Chakra Infusion to boost its Power again until he spends another 5 chakra to boost its Speed or Range.
Lambent Darkness: A wielder of Dark Release will only fall unconscious from chakra exhaustion when their normal reserves are below 10 and their Dark Chakra is below 20.
Forays by Limitation: Being devoid of elements and thus never actually needing to devote time to learning how to use them, those of this clan have extra time to learn new disciplines and further their knowledge of the ones they possess.
Myōsome start with three Specializations, and may train their Quaternary to S-rank, for 6000 and 9000 words respectively.
Drawbacks:
- Due to their constant absorption of others' elements, over time it warped their own ability to create Nature Transformation. Myōsome do not start with, nor can they ever learn, an element. This does not stop them from using others' via stolen chakra, it simply means they cannot generate the change in nature by themselves. However, this also means they cannot steal Advanced Elements made of two other elements, because they cannot recombine them into one again.
- Myōsome start out not being able to control chakra very well at all, not just that of others. Their tertiary spec starts at D-rank, with their secondary and primary at C and A-rank, respectively.
- The Dark Chakra pool starts every thread empty, and must be filled manually by absorbing chakra. A Myōsome has the following limits to their Dark chakra pool:
D-rank - 20 chakra
C-rank - 30 chakra
B-rank - 40 chakra
A/S-rank - 50 chakra
SS-rank - 60 chakra
If more chakra is absorbed than one's Dark Chakra pool can hold, even 5 more, it ruptures, causing moderate internal bleeding. If the entire pool was filled at once, it instead causes severe hemorrhaging. After the Dark Chakra pool ruptures, techniques that absorb chakra will fail for the rest of the thread. - Absorbing a Senjutsu technique deals damage to the Myōsome of the technique's rank -2, which is constrained to the absorption area; through the hand seal would deal damage to the arm's muscles, and through the mouth would injure one's organs. If one possesses Senjutsu, this drawback is negated.
- Due to their inclination to absorb it so easily with their Meiton, Myōsome have less endurance towards Ninjutsu, taking 1 rank higher in damage from opponents' attacks that primarily use Ninjutsu as their offense. (Offensive techniques that use Ninjutsu for support, such as Crescent Moon Dance or a speed boost, do not gain this advantage.)
