Clan History:
- Men of the Wild:
- Men of the WildIn the beginning, nature ruled all. Forests towered higih as mountains, and the seas teemed with exotic life. Man and beast lived side by side, sometimes in competition, and other times in friendship. The circle of life was unbroken, and all were born, all lived, and all died, only to be born again to continue in harmony with the planet as one. Spirits of the elements communed with and bred with man vibrant and terrible in their majesty, and spirits of the ancestors offered wise guidance to the living.
This was until the others came.
They were men, but somehow different from those that had dwelled in the primeval lands. They had forsaken the wilderness, and could no longer shift their bodies into other forms. These newcomers hunted not with their claws and teeth, but with bows and spears fashioned from metal, and their spirits and gods were strange and alien to this world. The first men took pity on the newcomers, and attempt to teach them, against their better judgement, how to be one with nature once more.
Some accepted the teachings, and began what would come to be known as Sage Schools, though many simply didn’t have the knack for doing what was so natural to those who called the wilderness their homes. However, as time went by, the newcomers grew greedy, taking more than they needed and cutting down forests and homes until nature was a fragile shell of its former self. The spirits of the elements and those of the great ancestors grew furious at the extreme avarice of the newcomers, with their black-smitheries belching smoke and pouring effluence into the streams and rivers. Upon the spirit’s command, a party of wise women went to speak with the Kages, instructing them to either cease their destructive activities and leave, or face the consequences.
The leaders of the summit laughed at what they thought was primitive nonsense, making rude and demeaning remarks at the technologically less advanced. When they were told there would be consequences, however, their visages became deathly serious, and the then Raikage had imprisoned them upon the request of the other Kage. The women were taken as his slaves and gifted to each of his sons as concubines, forced to use their shape-shifting talents to fulfil the princes’ perversions. When word spread that their message had been ignored, and their ambassadors enslaved, the people of the forests grew furious. One terrible night, they shifted into their monstrous forms, beings of war and destruction, and assaulted Kumogakure, sparing no one in a deluge of blood and death feasting upon the corpses of the fallen, and tearing down the hated factories that perverted their way of life.
The losses Kumo suffered were immense, but nothing compared to the massacre that followed. The Raikage, who had lost four of his seven sons to the attack, called the other Kage to his aid, and began a genocide against the people of the forest. This barely-precedented show of international unity overshadowed the genocidal nature of their activities, hunting down the propagandised demons and boogeymen, until all that was left was a meager population so few they were more endangered than their animal counterparts.
- Men of the Dark:
- Men of the DarkThe only Jūgo to fled did so to the darkest caves and the deepest forests, their hearts filled with hatred and sadness over what they had lost. They only convened in secret and in passing, keeping their existence hidden from the rest of the world even as they met and parted. In time, much of the more ‘civilised’ word, as they had come to know them as, had forgotten about their brief, if significantly devastating, existence. Their gifts, bestowed by nature and spirits, were shrugged off as myths, as the rest of the world progressed into a more technologically-dominant era. Passing mentions of their existence were meant as entertaining folklore of a people who never existed but should have, or as tales spun by parents who wanted more obedience from their offspring, telling tales of boogeymen who snuck off with irresponsible and disobedient children in the night.
The only man to look past these claims, believing there to be truth behind the inflated mythologicals that surrounded this fabled people. His incessant investigations into their existence, despite the people’s attempts to cover their tracks and remain hidden from the eyes of the world, allowed him to stumble upon a small group of them, no larger than four in number. The pseudo-family fought bravely, but against the mad scientist’s insane mind and even crazier physical abilities, they were easily taken down and brought to his lab as experiments, forced to fulfill their unwilling role as animals to be tested on.
Even if what was once an entire race of people were now tiny in number, meeting only rarely to talk and breed in secret, their flames of war still burned as brightly as when they had stormed Kumogakure. Laced with hatred that they were now hunted, with humanity seemingly refusing to even allow them their solace in seclusion, they attempted to fight back. The greatest fighters, the most fearsome warriors, and the most unstable of the kind were let loose upon the mad scientist in a vain attempt to halt his vicious and vile perversions of their culture, but only one of these great warriors returned, bleeding, in critical condition, and on death’s door. He only had time to deliver the tale of the mad scientist’s work of genius, and dread - the curse mark - before passing.
Now lived a people, who were not only small in number, but small in strength and small in hope. Any thoughts of safety were dashed. They were being hunted. Once proud, they had been beaten, and even in their defeat they were not allowed peace. The people were agitated. The people were growing fearful. The people were growing restless.
And worst of all, the people weren’t growing.
- Men of the World:
- Men of the WorldTheir image tainted and their grounds perverted by humanity, it seemed as if the clan was doomed to fail. The few people who roamed the lands didn’t find solace in living out their lives, as it was possible the next day would be their last, hunted as they were to be monsters born unto the world to do a madman’s bidding. The lack of peace in their lives did little to help them remain at one with nature, giving rise to further complications in their connection with the wild. It seemed as if the people’s future was doomed to extinction.
Or so it seemed.
Their saving grace came from an unexpected person: the madman himself. His craze led him into breeding the people he had marked, and breeding the Jugo that he had caught, in an attempt to exponentially increase the size of his army. The first, the son of two mad Jugo, grew with the uncanny ability to control his abilities. He was the scientist’s prized possession, his trump card, his secret weapon… and also his downfall.
The boy ran rampant, destroying his labs, taking down the few people who opposed him, while also releasing the other Jugo who lived through his vile experiments. Unfortunately, in this entire endeavour, the boy himself was lost with the lab, a six-year-old child who had an immeasurable mastery over the people’s abilities, unseen since the days of their prime. A boy who acted as the martyr for their clan, not old enough to read, but old enough to take down the man who had been overconfident with his success.
The remnants of this people began to roam once more, now no longer preyed on by humanity, with no targets painted on their backs. But, as free as they may have been, they still lugged around the chains of their past, no longer the race they once were, and no longer as welcoming or in control as they would have liked.
In the end, they were little more than the monsters they were once accused as.
Kekkei Genkai Description:
Zoanthropy
Members of the Jūgo clan have the innate affinity for nature chakra built into their very cells, though they lack the delicate and precise touch needed to control it. Their kekkei genkai gives them the ability to shape portions of their body into more beast-like forms. This includes blades, spikes, additional limbs, extra organs, and so on. Unfortunately, the effects of such abilities are similar to the effects that a curse mark has (being their source), trading such power at the cost of their sanity and freewill. The Jūgo clan are an aggressive bunch, and easily sparked into uncontrolled rampages, during which neither friend or foe is safe.- Berserk Mode:
- Berserk Mode:
When a Jūgo overuses his innate abilities, he is negatively affected by the strain that it places on his mind and body. The Jūgo hence goes berserk, entering a mode known as the Berserk Mode. While in this form, Jūgo clan members turn into mindless beasts that lack nearly any and all ability to reason, relying purely on their emotional desires and instinctive responses. While in Berserk Mode:- The Jūgo will target the person closest to them, regardless of it is ally or enemy.
- The Jūgo will suffer a varying change in their stats. They will receive a +1 to both Strength and Endurance, but suffer a -1 to Speed, Reaction Time, and Perception.
- The Jūgo will be unable to use any jutsu other than jutsu that utilise their clan kekkei genkai. They are also limited to using kekkei genkai jutsu of their rank or less, with a maximum of A-rank. As such, an S-rank Jūgo may use a maximum of A-rank while berserk.
- The Jūgo will not build up rage while using clan jutsu. Rage depletes at a constant rate of 3 counts per post.
The Jūgo clan member only exits Berserk Mode when their rage count drops to a minimum of zero. If they have 1 more count of Rage, they will have to wait another turn for 3 Rage to be deducted, leaving them with zero, before they regain control of their sanity.
Usage of the Jūgo clan’s kekkei genkai causes strain and damage to their body and mind, causing them to go berserk. For every kekkei genkai jutsu used or maintained every post, the Jūgo clan member gains a certain amount of Rage. Once the Rage count exceeds a certain threshold, they will enter Berserk Mode.
The number of Rage accumulated per jutsu, which increases indefinitely, varies on the jutsu’s rank as following:- E-rank: 1
- D-rank: 2
- C-rank: 3
- B-rank: 4
- A-rank: 5
- S-rank: 6
Rage is computed upon the activation of a clan jutsu, not the completion of one. Using maintainable jutsu does not cause Rage to accumulate indefinitely per post; rather the cost is only accrued upon its activation.
The upper threshold for the amount of Rage a Jugo may withstand before they enter Berserk Mode varies on their own rank as following:- D-rank: 10
- C-rank: 12
- B-rank: 15
- A-rank: 18
- S-rank: 21
- SS-rank: 25
For every post the Jūgo does not use any kekkei genkai jutsu, they will lose 3 counts of Rage, down to a minimum of zero. This decrease is disabled when Berserk Mode is on.
Jūgo clan members that have mastered control of their connection with nature chakra, however, are able to fine-tune the amount of nature chakra that flows into their jutsu to the point where usage of their kekkei genkai does not cause strain and damage to their body and mind. As such, while in Sage Mode, Jūgo clan members are able to use their kekkei genkai without accumulating any counts of Rage. Any Rage accumulated decreases to a minimum of zero at the rate stated above. - The Jūgo will target the person closest to them, regardless of it is ally or enemy.
- Abilities that make use of the transformations of their body are considered Senjutsu techniques. As such, their abilities abide by the physics described by the Senjutsu guidelines. Such abilities interact with other jutsu of their rank as if they were one rank higher.
- Jūgo clan members’ kekkei genkai abilities all require the use of Senjutsu. As such, all Jūgo clan members begin with Senjutsu as their tertiary specialisation, regardless of their starting rank.
- Jūgo clan members are able to activate Senjutsu abilities without the use of Sage Mode. Due to the presence of Senjutsu in their arsenal, they receive a +20 to their chakra pool, but are unable to access the ability to regain chakra until they learn Sage Mode.
- It has to be noted somewhere in the jutsu (i.e. Specialisation or Description) that a jutsu uses the clan's kekkei genkai.
Drawbacks:
- Jūgo clan members have their primary, secondary, and tertiary specialities beginning at D-rank. Their Senjutsu specialisation, complying with tertiary specialisation requirements, may only be trained up to S-rank, and thus they may not learn kekkei genkai abilities of any higher than S-rank.
- Kekkei genkai jutsu must be complemented by another appropriate specialisation (e.g. Senjutsu/Ninjutsu or Senjutsu/Taijutsu), as per the Senjutsu rules.
- With no knowledge of the human body, Jūgo clan members are unable to form proper additional limbs or organs for extended periods of time. As such, in the absence of Medical Ninjutsu, clan jutsu that form additional limbs or organs will interact with other jutsu as if it were one rank lower, i.e. counteracting the boost from the Senjutsu component, due to their structural inaccuracy, as well as having a maximum duration of only 2 posts, including the post it was created.
- Without Medical Ninjutsu, Jūgo clan members may also not create critical organs to replace the ones they have lost to avoid death, e.g. a second heart for the purpose of avoiding the destruction of the first, for whatever reason.
- Destruction of the Jūgo clan member's transformations or additional limbs will also cause pain to the person unless specified otherwise, as it is by proxy destruction of the Jūgo clan member's own body.
- Jūgo clan members receive +1 in damage from Raiton jutsu. Their kekkei genkai jutsu also act as if one rank lower when interacting with a Raiton jutsu.
- Jūgo clan members are unable to learn a tertiary or quaternary element. They may not take the Hesitant (Element) negative Special Characteristic.

Description: Jūgo clan members have, while not perfected, adapted a meditation technique to help them remain focused and calm in combat so as to not allow their rage to take over their senses in the worst of times. This jutsu is the result of years of study into the Jūgo physiology and psychology, and is the brainchild that allows Jūgo to remain in combat for extensive periods of time if absolutely necessary. This jutsu is taught to every Jūgo child for their safety and sanity, and is almost second nature once its concept is grasped even remotely. By adopting a chakra focusing technique in their minds, the Jūgo are able to reduce their rage by a certain amount, with the amount and the extra chakra cost (in addition to using this E-ranked jutsu) varying based on the ninja’s rank as follows:- D-rank: Reduction of 3 Rage, costs no additional chakra
- C-rank: Reduction of 4 Rage, costs 5 additional chakra
- B-rank: Reduction of 5 Rage, costs 10 additional chakra
- A-rank: Reduction of 6 Rage, costs 15 additional chakra
- S-rank: Reduction of 7 Rage, costs 20 additional chakra
- SS-rank: Reduction of 8 Rage, costs 25 additional chakra
Jūgo clan members may only reduce their Rage count by the amount equivalent to their rank, not lower. Use of this clan jutsu still incurs Rage, i.e. 1 count.

Description: The user channels nature chakra through their body, and transforms their body to a form better suited for combat. The user is able to induce transformations including but not limited to ridges, spikes, or firm blades out of their flesh sporadically all over their body to act as weapons, as their skin becomes a dark slate gray. They may make up to three such transformations using this one jutsu, each up to a foot long. Weapons made in this way can cause up to:- 1-inch deep cuts
- Minor external bruising
Transformations made this way are able to be broken or destroyed when hit with 1 C-rank jutsu or 2 D-rank offensive jutsu each, causing the user the full extent of the damage by said jutsu after the destruction of the transformation. Hence, 1 D-rank fire jutsu does not burn the user when defended against with the transformation, but the second fire jutsu destroys the transformation and burns the user. All transformations must occur in the first post this jutsu is used. Throughout the course of this jutsu, no extra transformations may be formed using this jutsu, regardless if the limit of three transformations via this jutsu has been reached.
