Clan History: The Guardia Clan originated in the Land of Iron and were samurai's, however about 100 years ago one of the clan members fell in love with a ninja from the land of fire. At first they both left their responding lands and she became a missing nin. They were soon discovered a few years later and confronted by Hidden Leaf Ninja. They both surrendered and were brought before the Hokage. Understanding the dilemma and foreseeing the opportunity that this entailed the Hokage pardoned the ninja and gave her Ronin husband permission to stay in the village with his wife. The Ronin abandoned his former name and instead took up the name Guardia both to prevent those from the land of iron from discovering him and to pledge an oath that he and his descendants would be solemn guardians of the hidden leaf. One odd querk, no clansman ever refers to himself or herself as a Ninja or ninja rank, instead referring to themselves by the equivelent samurai title.
Aonisaibushi
(Amateur Samurai)
[Genin]
The lowest official rank among the samurai, Aonisaibushi are apprentices that have completed their training, usually under a Seieibushi. Aonisaibushi are generally accompanied by their masters or other Jonin to ensure their safety.
Chukanbushi
(Middle Samurai)
[Chuunin, S. jonin]
The most common rank among the samurai, Chukanbushi-level samurai are intermediately skilled samurai. They often act as guards, sentinels, watchmen, and other miscellaneous positions
Seieibushi
(Elite Samurai)
[Jounin or Anbu]
Traditionally the highest rank among the samurai, Seieibushi are highly skilled fully-fledged samurai. Most samurai at the level of Seieibushi take on apprentices or Aonisaibushi-level samurai as their disciples.
Kodenbushi
(Legendary Samurai)
[Sannin]
A highly coveted rank, and often seen as the highest attainable position, with the sole exception of the rank of Shogun. Seieibushi are samurai of legendary status with tremendous capability, and are regarded as being of Shogun-level. Kodenbushi are hired to accomplish some of the most dangerous international missions. Samurai of Kodenbushi rank are extremely rare.
Shogun
(Force Commander)
[Kage or Clan head]
The apex of the samurai, the Shogun is the most prestigious rank possible for a samurai. Shoguns are the leaders of their given district, or country, and are regarded as the most powerful samurai. In the Guardia clan only the clan head is known as the Shogun.
As the clan continued to evolve, so did the fighting style of the clan. Some of the clansmen began to experiment with a more aggressive weapon created by merging two katana's to create a double sided glave. this gave birth to duel fighting disciplines that were taught both using the teachings of their ancestors. The first type is distinguished using a katana like the traditional samurai of their ancestors. The katana being a well balanced weapon gives both a good range of offence and defence, it can be manipulated within close quarters, is the easier of the two weapons to learn, and works fairly well with the lightning style to enhance it's speed and cutting potential. The glave on the other hand has a much higher learning curve and is used by very aggressive samurai, however it's second edge makes manipulation more difficult in tight quarters. Its strong shape and cutting style gives greater velocity to its subsequent attacks that makes attacks with the wind style even deadlier then those with a katana at the expense of defense and agility. This duel style has led to two heirlooms used for succession, The Dreamseeker Katana and the Mastermune Glave. The head of the clan keeps both weapons, when it comes a time to choose a successor he gives one of the weapons to them to keep as a symbol of his succession. the successor gains the other one when his predecessor dies or retires.
Kekkei Genkai Description:
"Every warrior knows that war is more than arms and armor, every warrior carries an image of impending victory in his heart. When the image shatters, to be replaced by defeat, he is beaten. But sometimes a warrior receives assistance from an unexpected source, an in-rush of light, blasting away his fear and despair, releasing new inner strength! Yes, a war is much more than arms and armor. Half of every conflict is the will to win. We are samurai. We must recognize that the will to win, and the power of war, are given sometimes by dispair. And sometimes, as dawn throws back the night, victory is given…by the light!" ~Muramasa Guardia"
Drawbacks: Clan members due to their dedication to their own fighting style have not the time to master medical nor fuuinjutsu. Clan members are forbidden to preform any tratorous act against the clan or the village. A curse mark is placed upon their chest that erases their memory should such a violation occur.

- Zen Trance:
- When activated the "Trance" manipulates the users brainwaves from a [normal] beta state and either slows the brainwaves down or speeds them up to manipulate the brain into triggering either a alpha, delta, theta or gamma state. While the alpha, theta and delta states help the mind to rejuvenate the body, the gamma state increases a bodies functions by speeding up the firing rate of neurons in the brain. This Gamma state seems to make time slow down and increases sensory perception. colors are more vibrant, sounds are clearer, textures are more defined, taste and smells are stronger and more pronounced. Reaction time is increased. your mind becomes completely focused and can process and store information quicker. Only one trance can be active at a time.
- Alpha trance:
- Alpha Trance
perks- The mind slows down and becomes more receptive to external information. the heart rate slows and breathing relaxes. the body begins to rejuvenate faster allowing wounds to heal/stop bleeding 1 post faster, and allowing medical jutsu used upon the user to be preformed as 1 rank higher. chakra is restored at +10 a post while this is active.
Cons- Focus drifts causing speed to drop by 1 rank(rounded down to nearest number) while active, sensing speed remains unaffected. Eyes turn a blue color when active. Cognitive functions are lowered and the body seems to begin to react on reflex and instinct instead of reason. This is only a rejuvination trance and is only effective when trying to recover in battle.
- Theta Trance:
- Theta Trance
Perks- The mind slows down even further allowing your subconscious to being to subvert your higher self. you are more receptive of information and can retrieve information easily. You react instinctively without requiring thought. Healing and rejuvination is much faster as you walk the border of awake and sleep. In addition to the effects of alpha trance, the user's chakra is restored by 25 a post. medical jutsu used on the user is increased by 2. By forcing yourself into this state you can recieve a full nights rest in about 2 hours. Out of battle even serious wounds and broken bones will heal in 1/2 the normal time.
Cons- Speed is reduced by 2, sensing speed is uneffected, consciousnesses and subconscious intertwine. your grip on reality will start to waver as your reality will become distorted, like you are sleepwalking. eyes turn light blue when active. In this state Genjutsu attacking the user becomes unpredictable as the user is already semi-dreaming. The user may not react like a reasonable person to the genjutsu, similar to how walking next to a giant flying robot in a chocolate filled sky could be considered normal in a dream. This is only a rejuvination trance and is only effective when trying to recover in battle or out of battle.
- Delta Trance:
- Perks- In this state the body is in a complete state of rejuvenation and repair. If kept active for 3 posts all of your stamina and chakra is restored and any minor wounds [small bruises and cuts] are healed and life threatening injuries, while still serious, will no longer be fatal. You can get a full nights rest in 20 mins. When activated your body will almost completely shut down, your heart rate will slow to a mire 3 beats a minute and your brain functions will shut down to lower the oxygen requirement on your body. your breathing becomes very sluggish yet and deep. Poison and other toxins will purge from your system bleeding out of open wounds, blood loss will almost immediately cease due to the heart not pumping blood at a rapid rate. your chakra network will be supressed. To all but the most trained medical ninja, you will appear dead. Potentially fatal wounds received[with the exception of the removal of vital limbs, organs, brain damage or other situations that make sense] while in this coma trance will not be fatal as the blood isn't pumping and has time to clot and heal.
Cons-When activated you are in a dreamless Coma. outside stimuli will not break you out of this. you cannot defend yourself. If you put yourself into this state in battle, you are depending on your allies to protect you while you rejuvenate. eyes are completely white and glazed over. for all intents and purposes you are asleep in battle. you cannot move, you cannot attack, you cannot defend, you do not even have a sense of time. Delta trance's duration must be decided when entering Delta Trance. That duration cannot be changed.
- Gamma Trance:
- your brain's neurons begin to fire from a Gatling gun instead of a single action revolver. your focus is increased, Perception of time is slowed dramatically increasing your reaction time, your senses are heightened, Genjutsu is easily discovered and broken due to your hightened state of awareness. Sight speed is increased by 2 ranks, genjutsu can be broken with only 1/2 the chakra usage with genjutsu kai once discovered[user is consitered 1 rank higher when being attacked with genjutsu while in this trance]. due to increased reaction times, and the increase of neurons to the muscles grants +1 to speed and strength as well. Opponents can be tracked not only by sight, but with all of the user's senses.
Cons-this uses 20 chakra a post to remain active.
Master Gamma Trance- after remaining in this state for a total of 50 posts, the users body becomes accustomed to fighting in this state lowering the chakra consumption to 10 a post.
Drawbacks: Clan members due to their dedication to their own fighting style have not the time to master medical nor fuuinjutsu. Clan members are forbidden to preform any tratorous act against the clan or the village. A curse mark is placed upon their chest that erases their memory should such a violation occur.
- Required Special Characteristic:
- Name: Guardia Style Battoujutsu
Canon/Custom: Custom
Type: Positive
Element: Lightning or Wind
Range: varies with style
Specialty: Bukijutsu[onojutsu or kenjutsu]
Description: Battōjutsu is a field of kenjutsu which deals specifically with the rapid drawing and sheathing of a sword. In most cases, a katana or Glave being drawn from its sheath moves with a much greater speed and force than when it is being wielded normally. Additionally, greater drawing speed gives a swordsman more of an advantage in combat than an opponent whose speed is inferior. This is due in part to the fact that a katana's sharp blade curves upward against the inside of the sheath, allowing the swordsman to use more strength in drawing it without having to worry about applying extra control to his movements - the sword's path is guided by the sheath while the blade meets no resistance, moving two to three times faster than normal.
The emphasis of training in battōjutsu is on cutting with the sword. All terms are somewhat more specific than kenjutsu (sword techniques) or kendō (the Way of the sword), as the latter two refer mostly to techniques where the sword is already out of its scabbard (saya) and is therefore engaged in combat.
Battō-jutsu usually incorporates multiple cuts after drawing the sword. The emphasis of training in iaidō is on reaction to unknown situations, or reacting to sudden attack. Traditionally The guardia clan brought battōjutsu with them when they came from the Land of Iron, but as generations passed the style has split to two different disciplines, One with the Katana[kenjutsu], and one with the double-sided glave[onojutsu] of the Clan. This in itself doesn't do anything but allow one to learn the abilities of the clan, and allow one to withstand the strain on their body that preforming these jutsu and abilities can cause.

Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
- Universal Guardia Jutsu:
Name: Samurai Sabre Technique
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: C
Type: Offencive
Element: ---
Range: up to 3x the weapons original length, projectiles have a range of 50 meters before discipating
Specialty: Bukijutsu[kenjutsu]; Bukijutsu[onojutsu]
Duration: until canceled
Cooldown: until canceled[read below for projectiles]
Description: A technique that originated from the Samurai in the Land of Iron, using this technique, it is now possible to coat your weapons with chakra to add greater length, and power and speed to the weapons.
Whilst using this technique, the user can flow their chakra around the weapon to extend the length, this can be no more than 3X the weapons initial length. Length can be altered at any time, but cannot surpass thrice the weapons length. the power and speed of the weapon are 1 rank stronger.
While utilizing a chakra enhanced weapon, the user project the chakra outwards from the blade, in a crescent shape. The user must swing said weapon to fire forth the projectile, the size of such is the weapons size with amplifications. up to 5 projectiles can be made per blade, within a three post period, or else they cannot be used again for another 2 posts.
While in the enhanced state, the weapons can be molded to reflect the shape of other weapons, however they keep the same power and speed of the previous weapon. when using this ability the user is not required to have the subspec of the weapon that he is currently changing the shape of his weapon into. I.E. can make his katana take the form of a polearm and wield it without normally knowing how to wield polearms. this jutsu cost 15 chakra a post to remain active. This jutsu isn't limited to just the guardia clan.
Name: Ryu-no-sou[Paired Dragon Seal]
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary
Element: ---
Range: ----
Specialty: fuuinjutsu
Duration: permanent
Cooldown: N/A
Description: his is a small seal placed upon the saya of a guardia clan member's sword. when activated it instantly replaces the katana that is sheathed within it with another sword of the user's choosing whose saya also shares the seal. [example: use sheathes his blade while wielding a Katana and activates the seal. The next time he draws the blade, instead of a Katana he will instead draw a Sakabatō from the sheathe.] this requires that the user owns all the weapons involved, and places a seal upon each of their weapon sheathes. the seals in actuality only teleport the blades between the different saya, allowing access to other blades across great distance while they remain in storage. the seal will not activate unless the current weapon is sheathed in it and it requires the chakra of the person who created the seal to activate it. If the seal on the saya is damaged it will not be able to activate until repaired. A saya may have multiple seals placed upon it each pairing it with a different weapon. weapons must have identical profiles[length/width/shape] to be compatible with this seal. [can't attach this to a tanto saya and then activate to pull out a katana]
- Kenjutsu Path:
Name: Iaido Quickdraw
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: C
Type: Offencive
Element: ---
Range: up to 10 meters
Specialty: Bukijutsu[kenjutsu]
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: N/A
Description: Using the basic principles behind battojutsu, the art of drawing the sword, the user will preform the basic motion of quickdrawing the blade.
The quickdraw is engaged by one first gripping the neck of the sheath with the hand correspondent to the sheath's location. (Example; If it is on the left hip, you hold it with your left hand, if your simply holding the sheath then you use the same hand.)
Once the neck is gripped the opposite hand reaches across the body to draw the blade is one powerful slash. as the wielder is directing their blade with their off hand this leaves the main hand to draw the blade with a much greater force and speed then if the blade was already drawn. During the first slash the user gains +1 to speed and strength.
The boost only lasts for the first action, this can be done as many times as the user wants but the blade must first be sheathed before it can work again. The speed at which this technique can be executed — the initial strike in particular — is such, that when performed by a skilled user, it can prevent enemy shinobi from forming hand seals (and thus ninjutsu), by exploiting the small opening that these movements create. If attacking an opponent that is preforming handseals, this attack has +2 to speed +1 to strength, by taking advantage of the opening created when preforming handseals. It is because of techniques like this, that made great ninjas such as Hanzo proclaimed that it was pointless to attempt to fight a samurai with ninjutsu.
Name: Rai-ryu-sen[Thunder Dragon Flash]
Canon/Custom: custom
Rank: D
Type: Offencive
Element: Lightning
Range: up to 5 yards
Specialty: Bukijutsu[kenjutsu]
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts after deactivation
Description: the user preforms the Serpent->Dragon->Monkey->Tiger->Dragon hand seals to mold lightning chakra, he then grabs his weapon and overloads his Katana with lightning chakra before throwing or striking with the blade, when the blade strikes an object, ground or otherwise an electrical field explodes out of it about 5 yards in diameter electrocuting those within the field and lasting for 3 posts or until the user deactivates it. while energized a weapon has +1 strength if wielded or +1 speed if thrown, this force is lost after the inital striking of an object. anyone caught in the field loses 1 rank of speed and strength and has their chakra drained by 10 for each post that they remain within the field as they continue to take damage. the user of the jutsu is immune to these effects.
- Onojutsu Path:
Name: Fuu-oni-iki[Wind Demon Breath]
Canon/Custom: custom
Rank: C
Type: Offencive
Element: Wind
Range: 20 degree cone extending 15 meters
Specialty: Bukijutsu[Onojutsu]
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts after deactivation
Description: The user preforms Serpent->Rat->Monkey->Tiger->Dog seals and then grabs their Glave, empowering it with wind chakra. the user then begins to rapidly spin their Glave ahead of them causing a powerful force of air to be expelled from their blade out from them. this can either be used as a sucking motion drawing objects to the blades or pushing them away. those moving against the air lose 1 speed and str per post and begin to develop lacerations across their body increasing in severity from the wind the longer they remain in the area of effect. should an opponent's strength become weaker then this jutsu they will be unable to keep their footing and will be flung in the direction of the wind.
Name: Oni-sou-gyaku[Double Demon Reverse]
Canon/Custom: custom
Rank: D
Type: Defencive
Element: ----
Range: Self
Specialty: Bukijutsu[Onojutsu]
Duration: 1 posts
Cooldown: 2 posts after deactivation
Description: The user grabs their glave and begins to spin it rapidly around their body creating a shield of moving metal. solid objects strong enough to resist shreading upon hitting the blades are reflected back where they originated. If the samurai sabre technique is used along with this, the weapon can be fortified with chakra to allow complete protection from techniques that could normally bypass the gaps formed by the shield. this jutsu is consitered of C rank strength if SST is used in conjunction with it. objects reflected back return 1 rank faster then the speed they struck the shield with.
