- Clan History:
- The Kezumu were not exactly cohesive, historically. Indeed, before the First Shinobi World War, each person that later identified as such had no idea there were others of their ilk. Due to the nature of the chakra of those now known as the Kezumu, within the Shinobi nations after the first war, there were rumours that circulated, piquing the intrigue of those that felt relations to those rumours. Shinobi that felt vile to the sensory lookouts, and that seemed to curse all that they touched. Relating to the rumours, for they felt scorn from their allies that deemed them unpleasant as well, and wicked, many began listening out for more rumours.
As the Second Shinobi World War started, the rumours returned, and the, now interested, afflicted took notice, hearing even more rumours of those akin to themselves being sighted and reported in other nations, and even on their own side. Feeling desperate to infect to whatever sense of normality they could, many shinobi left their home villages to meet with others of their ilk. An act that could be deemed the greatest mistake of the soon to be clan, the Kezumu.
As so many of the shinobi that had begun looking for others of their kind began leaving unannounced, the shinobi villages began to scorn them, deeming the people traitors and missing ninja. The tensions that led to the Third Shinobi World War however, allowed the fleeing shinobi to fade into distant memory, the conflict being deemed far more important than what each village assumed was just a small collection of thugs that had a bad attitude, and a bad atmosphere about them. Yet, wounded that they were so quickly forgotten, the Kezumu that gathered together found themselves bonding over finding others that were scorned like they each individually were, and in a fit of mutual rage, set out as mercenaries, aiding in the Third Shinobi World War for any side that would pay them, and against any side that wouldn’t.
Their reputation rose once more, and through history, the clan remained a mystery that kept popping up as mercenaries, aiding in wars as the secret villains, and then fading out again, and even when it was around, and clan members were spotted, or sensed due to their vile chakra, the clan members themselves seemed to have no recollection. As if the clan itself seemed to stop existing every now and again, thus leading to the common name of the clan, the Kezumu – for they always faded away into nothing, and so too did their enemies.
However, one major incident impacted the non-existent clan, and indeed, the whole shinobi world, more than any of the wars had impacted the clan. While many clan members were working on a mission for Kirigakure no Sato, the village burned down to the ground by the black flames of Amaterasu. Many villagers knew instantly what it meant, yet others deemed it bad luck, caused entirely by the presence of the Kezumu. The shinobi of Kirigakure hunted the Kezumu, deeming the entire clan Missing Ninja, and once more, as always, the Kezumu faded out of history, and into nothingness.

Kekkei Genkai Name:
![Kezumu [Final] 0eaYDT6](https://i.imgur.com/0eaYDT6.png)
Umbral Curse (陰影罰半具, In'ei Bacchanbun; lit. "Cursed Umbral Tool")Kekkei Genkai Description: The Umbral Curse is not exactly a Kekkei Genkai, as it is not a trait that is genetically passed down, nor is it even a Hiden because it's not taught. It is, rather, a rare chakra-system mutation that manifests within certain people, several of these victims gravitated towards one another, teaching each other techniques they developed and learned together to twist the Umbral Curse into something useful, it was this group of which happened to eventually call themselves the Kezumu.
The Corrupted chakra of the Kezumu has a warped nature where on contact it infects the chakra, temporarily corrupting it and making it, in a sense, too alien within the victims' system for them to be able to manipulate it normally. The Curse within the Kezumu themselves gives the user a dark and almost malevolent aura when looking at the member with a technique that would allow them to see chakra. The Chakra within their system looks sick and twisted like it has been irradiated almost. Though, to their benefit, when an opponents chakra becomes cursed, the cursed chakra in their system for the duration of the curse is almost impossible to hide from chakra sensory techniques with the users' stealth jutsu, as they are unable to mold the cursed chakra to make it invisible.
Finally, due to the intense focus on crafting jutsu and the molding of their own insanely difficult chakra, separating the corruption to use basic non-Umbral techniques is comparatively easy. Kezumu clan members receive +2 tiers to any stat as long as they are not channeling an Umbral Technique [Must be listed on character application. Can be done in any combination].
Umbral Techniques:
- Umbral Techniques must be listed as 'Umbral' within the Element section of the technique.
- To those who see 'Umbral' Techniques, they would note that something feels deeply wrong or 'sick' about their chakra, making them immediately identifiable on sight.
- Umbral techniques are much harder to control than other jutsu, making them less powerful and far less versatile than other techniques. When made, Umbral jutsu must have the lowest damage threshold of a jutsu of it's rank and cannot have additional secondary / second stage effects beyond the Chakra Curse itself. (Ie, a cursed fireball that explodes on contact could be fired, but not one that fires which, with a second hand seal, expands into a cluster of many smaller exploding fireballs.)
- On contact with an Offensive or Supplementary/ Debuff 'Umbral' technique the victim will feel the painful and uncomfortable sensation similar to being eaten by a potent alkaline as an amount of chakra equal to the base cost of the techniques' rank becomes corrupted and unable to be molded or manipulated by the victim for 3 turns. (Ie. a C rank technique when it hit a ninja would corrupt 15 chakra on impact, even if the C rank technique costed 20 chakra.) Should the victim become hit by another cursed technique, this counter is reset.
- Maintained Umbral techniques curse an amount of chakra equal to the base chakra cost of a jutsu one rank lower per hit (though stacking a maintainable technique with a multi-hit technique will simply add the full base costs of both techniques together on impact, and curse and corrupt the combined sum. Ie, a C rank maintained umbral jutsu combined with a B rank jutsu which delivers 20 strikes in quick succession will curse 35 chakra, not 200.).
- Senjutsu techniques add 5 to the base cost as normal, increasing the amount of chakra they curse on impact.
- If the victim has no usable chakra left except cursed chakra, they are considered to be out of chakra and faint as if they had less than 10.
Drawbacks:
The Kezumu clan members, though they have largely made the best of their unfortunate situation, are still fundamentally ill in some way. The corruption is a curse that seems to becoming more and more common and has several adverse effects on the body.
- While the Umbral curse can seem daunting for an opponent, it is not impossible to be-rid ones self of. So long as they would have the non-corrupted chakra to do so, the use of Genjutsu Kai or any jutsu which cleanses the chakra system of abnormalities, be they genjutsu / debuffs, will cleanse the umbral curse from their system. So long as the jutsu has a rank equal to the highest ranked jutsu which inflicted the curse.
- Members of the Kezumu clan are still in some sense cursed as they would curse their victims. Reducing their total chakra pool. At Genin, Kezumu begin with -5 less chakra than other ninja, however, with each rank up, this reduction increases by a further -5 per rank. (To a potential total of -30 chakra at SS rank.)
- Due to their mutation, Kezumu characters must begin with one of the 'Born Ill' , 'Pharmacaphobia' or the 'fatigue' Negative special characteristic which cannot be balanced with an additional positive.
- Finally, as the Kezumu, due to their sick bodies are often geared towards dominating their opponents with aggressive rushes to tip the future scale of the battle in their favor, they prioritize offense for defense should they ever enter a serious encounter. As such, Kezumu clan members have -2 tiers to either their endurance or speed stat. [Chosen at character creation, must be listed on application. Cannot be same stat that received a +1/2].
