Clan History: In its earliest days, the Sima clan was a humble albeit reputable clan well known for their Dōjutsu, the Memorigan. The moment villages were being organized by more than one clan’s collaboration within a region, many of the founders of these villages came to the Sima with the intention of having them on their side since the likes of Konohagakure already had two clans with very powerful Dōjutsu. The House Head had a plan regarding each power’s desire to have the Sima clan in their ninja village; the clans decided on dividing its members into every village and eventually, when the time is right, supplant the current powers all at once with the exception of Konoha, which would require an invasion.
The goal itself was far-fetched, but in the meantime the Sima clan would act as the dutiful servants of each village, without ever exploiting the fact that they had family in sister villages. Fortunately for the Sima, this was easier to cover up than it normally would have been for a progressive, prominent family. As more generations came along, nothing but good fortune and a good word came the clan’s way. They positioned themselves carefully and with foresight, always remembering their clan’s ultimate rise to power and putting family before village.
The few Sima who were well aware of their grand scheme, but didn’t support it were either branded a traitor of his country and shamed/exiled for the rest of his/her days or inescapably assassinated by the clan itself or their unknowing lackeys, typically the village officials that they had their fingers wrapped around.
When Sima clansmen come of age (20) they are given a style name. Due to the clan’s private nature, they marry exclusively within their family so that no outsider can ever chance upon hearing of their plans or be aware of their undying ambitions. They also do this with fear of their clan losing its greatest advantage, the Memorigan. As a failsafe, the Sima clansmen are taught at an early age to "automate" the Memorigan to erase all memory of itself, should it ever be taken by someone from outside the clan.
The Sima clan meets once every year in a random location commonly located in one of the smaller, lesser known nations and in anonymity. It’s at this time that they reunite as a family and convene to discuss current events and affairs regarding their clan’s ongoing ambitions. At the forefront of these meetings are the Heads-of-House who lead one of each subdivision of the Sima clan. There are four in total.
Kekkei Genkai Description: The Sima’s visual jutsu, when eye contact is made, has the power to modify, fabricate, suppress, influence, repair, restore, erase, detect, and view the memories of someone. The effects vary and must be “awakened” through the practiced application of the technique.
Appearance:
- Spoiler:
It’s a minute albeit sharp mutation in the center of the Sima’s pupil that is white in color. It’s purely cosmetic and marks the “activation” of the Memorigan.
Drawbacks: Memorigan can only be used once per thread. It can be used a maximum of three times against a given target. However, once the Sima reaches S-rank, he/she is able to use it three more times on the same target since the power of his/her Memorigan will have dramatically increased by that point in time. It costs twenty chakra to use Hyōji Memori, thirty chakra to use Shinrei Hensō, forty chakra to use Shinrei Hensō and fifty chakra to use Memori Ishoku. The Memorigan has no effect against another clansman’s Memorigan, since every Sima has adapted greatly to its effects overtime. It can be detected as chakra secreted from the Sima’s eyes to other visual jutsu users with the ability to see chakra. A Sima that matches the level of the jutsu in question can reverse the effects the Memorigan has on the target, in other words, should Sima A use Memori Ishoku to fabricate the target’s memory, Sima B can use his Memorigan to reverse the effect, nullifying it completely so long as he is the appropriate rank.
Members: Sima Lin (Heir of the Sima clan, based in Iwagakure no Sato)
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu
- Spoiler:
- Name: Hyōji Memori “Memory Viewing”
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Element: n/a (Dōjutsu)
Range: Requires eye contact (15m).
Specialty: --
Duration: --
Cooldown: Once per thread.
Description: In an instant, the user can look deep down into the target’s memory storage and view memories as well as copy them as one of his own. Memories appear as film frames to the Sima in question. Essentially, the user can copy the memories of others and immediately gain access to those memories. It is the Sima’s fundamental technique and is required to master before possessing the knowledge to do otherwise to a target’s memory. This jutsu can also be used on the recent dead (so long as they were alive no more than fourty-eight posts prior) to view the target’s recent optic sight.
Derived Jutsu: Shinrei Hensō
Name: Chishiki no Sōnyū “Knowledge Insertion”
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Element: n/a (Dōjutsu)
Range: Requires eye contact (15m).
Specialty: --
Duration: --
Cooldown: Once per thread.
Description: The Sima is able to project knowledge onto another mind, allowing either instant transferal/learning/understanding or slower process where the target integrates the knowledge without a risk of overflow. A skillful use of this jutsu can transfer not only knowledge but experiences as well and in varying degrees. Should a Sima be teaching a technique to another shinobi in a training thread, it will reduce the word count by 5% for the technique being taught.
Name: Shinrei Hensō “Psychic Disguise”
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: n/a (Dōjutsu)
Range: Requires eye contact (15m).
Specialty: --
Duration: Since this technique allows for the Sima to delete EVERY memory of himself from someone's memory storage it takes three posts to complete the deletion process.
Cooldown: Once per thread.
Description: After the Sima accesses his/her target’s memory storage using the Memorigan, he/she can selectively delete all traces of him/herself in their memory which cannot be recovered. Conversely, the Sima can restore those memories of him/herself to the target’s own memory. Should the Sima cast this jutsu on him/herself, he/she can delete as many of his/her own memories as he/she wants resulting in selective amnesia, which can later be restored by said Sima. During the deletion process, the Sima is still able to perform in battle, but is somewhat distracted by the use of this technique. This is why the Sima targets the opponent's short-term (since thread start) memories of him/her giving him the time he needs to accomplish his task whilst leaving the target mystified.
Name: Memori Ishoku
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Element: n/a (Dōjutsu)
Range: Requires eye contact (15m).
Specialty: --
Duration: Since this technique allows for the Sima to fabricate the target's memories going as far back as years in their memory storage it takes five posts to complete a thorough fabrication.
Cooldown: Once per thread.
Description: After having made eye contact and infiltrating the target’s memory storage, the Sima is able to forcibly implant memories into the mind of the target. Said memories can either be the memories of others, or false memories manufactured by the user. This technique is more commonly used to distort the memories of others or even him/her, so that one can believe fantasies or lies without giving off cerebral implications of deception and also to implant twisted memories within others to drive them into insanity. The target's most guarded (life-changing/milestones) memories cannot be tampered with by the Sima. During the fabrication process, the Sima is still able to perform in battle, but is somewhat distracted by the use of this technique. This is why the Sima targets the opponent's short-term (since thread start) memories of him/her giving him the time he needs to accomplish his task whilst leaving the target mystified.
