Clan History: Long ago, when demons ran rampant, a sole tree existed that would sap the power of demons so much so that the demons avoided it. It is this tree that this clan’s history is based upon. The tree in question is The Durian Tree of Demonic Knowledge that sits atop the same mountain as the Administration Building.

It is said that long ago, the founder of this clan made a deal with a demon to seal their soul within an object so that their spirit could live on forever within the object. To make this deal with the demon, he used the fruit from the tree as a way to control the monster. As with all diabolical pacts, the clansman was fooled and instead only his chakra system was put into the object. He was surprised to find that he did not, in fact, die on the spot, but instead had a small amount of chakra remaining in his brain that allowed him to continue living. The rest of his chakra was indeed deposited into an item that he chose, saving the demon from being punished. After all, dirt dealings don’t always go as planned, and the founder was no monster.

During the first few years of dealing with the changes that came with the demon pact, the founder discovered that it certainly didn’t come without some benefits. While it was difficult for him to use chakra flow throughout his body, it wasn’t impossible. This also meant that it was harder for genjutsu users to manipulate the chakra in his body, and his chakra system couldn’t easily be attacked by those who might be capable.

The founder knew full well that the contract between him and the demon was not singular in that it only affected him. The pact would be passed down to others in the village, essentially cursing the entire village. He lived on, got married, and had a child. It was a strange situation when the father had his child tested to see what had become of the demon’s contract, as it would seem that it had not been passed to the child. Now an older and more well respected man in the village, others came to him and told him of their own children who had inherited the demonic pact. It seemed that there was no rhyme or reason that discerned who would inherit the contract, thereby making this “clan” less so a pure family of inheritance and more or less a conglomeration of people from different families who have the contract.

Kekkei Genkai Description: The spiritual energy of the clan member is inserted into a phylactery of their choosing. This means that there is still physical energy in the body of the person, so the clansman must exert their energies towards their item to create and use chakra. The container may be a ring, medallion, cape or other regular item; given freely at the time of character creation. If one wants something like a weapon or armor to be their container, then it must be purchased first. The item is to be described in the SC category of the character application.

Name: Phylactery
Type: Unique
Description: This does not require a Negative SC. [Describe your item]

Code:

[b]Name:[/b] Phylactery
[b]Type:[/b] Unique
[b]Description:[/b] This does not require a Negative SC. [Describe your item]

Since it very nearly makes it only difficult to utilize chakra, the demon who created the chakra gave sufferers of the curse a benevolence. Their bodies were made stronger so that they could better protect their item. That is, physical blows taken to their body (Taijutsu & Bukijutsu) have less effect on them by one rank.

Members of this clan also have the ability to change one of their eyes to show the symbol of their clan at will. Which eye it is is up to the user, and does not change. Using this ability, one is capable of enhancing their strength.

Drawbacks: Due to the nature of the swap of energy into the phylactery, Puppetry and Medical Jutsu is impossible. Genjutsu used by clan members are reduced in power by one rank. Overuse, using any clan jutsu for more than 10 posts in a single topic, will cause the user to pass out.

The body is strengthened with the primary element of the user. This cannot stack with other clan jutsu.
Fuuton - Physical contact with the user gets cut by a thin veil of wind around the user which causes 2cm deep cuts into the point of contact.
Doton - Similar to having stone skin, blows are ineffective by the same rank of this technique and lower.
Raiton - Electrical current runs through them. Physically touching the user electrocutes the victim, causing a first degree burn and stuns them for 1 post.
Suiton - A thin veil of water coats the user, though not in such a way that it causes them to drown Physical contact is largely unfeasible since it causes landed blows. of the same rank or lower.to be glanced off.

Duration: / -25 Chakra per post
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: Once activated, the user will blink and one of his/her eyes' iris will have changed to that of the clan's symbol, colored in green, denoting the contract with a demon. The user's speed is henceforth increased by one rank for the duration of this jutsu. This can be stacked with another jutsu of the same type, though the chakra cost increases by 10. For example, when stacked with the standard Seal Reveal, the chakra cost will be 85 per post. Increased speed cannot go over the max of SS rank speed.

All right, doing it the right way...

I would prefer if you made the Phylactery into a unique Clan Special Characteristic (it need not be balanced by a negative trait). Leave a blank spot in it so each clan member may specifically say in their application what their phylactery is. We had some trouble with a wave of clan members not specifying where theirs was (thus removing the weakness of not being able to use chakra if the phylactery was removed).

The -1 to physical blows....detail if this is only Taijutsu or includes Bukijutsu, and whether you mean basic unaided blows or all physically-oriented attacks, including jutsu.

This being your only positive bonus, it balances nicely with a -1 to Genjutsu power, and the inability to use Iryoujutsu or Kugutsu-jutsu. Overuse of what? Be specific. I know you probably meant any of the Seal Reveals, but just to specify to others.

Reveal....this is mega-uber-super-OP. A C-rank jutsu that increases the power of another jutsu by one rank, regardless of all specializations and elements? That might be passable as an S or SS-rank.

Vitalization. First off, you may want to entail what kind of damage/effects occur when Reveal is used along with this jutsu, as it seems like they go hand-in-hand as clan jutsu.
Fuuton and Katon are fine. Raiton is mostly fine, but define 'stun'. Doton is fine, as long as I'm reading it right and it's only C-rank jutsu deflected. Same with Suiton, but how can it be used for water jutsu (most jutsu create their own, so how does this affect that? Power boost? faster jutsu casting?)

Defense: You say it can't stack. What does this entail? Not stacking with another jutsu that increases defense, or not stacking with any jutsu at all? I assume it would stack with your clan bonus.

Speed should be A-rank. Also, what kind of boost do you get when Reveal is used with it?

" Clan Special Characteristic"
The only issue I have with that is if that affects the Max of 3 positive SC's.

"-1 to physical blows"
Edited.

"Overuse of what"
Edited.

"Reveal"
I made it S rank. It's 30 chakra per post now, so even then that's combined with the cost of the other jutsu they're using, so I feel that's an even trade off.

"Vitalization"
To be honest I didn't even think of how this would stack with Reveal, and since I really don't care enough to add stronger effects, since the user would have to come up with what would happen with any other jutsu, I'm just taking away its ability to stack. Doton: you read correctly. Suiton: I'll just take that away.

"Defense"
It cannot stack with the other clan jutsu. This has been edited in.

"Speed"
Since Speed is increased by one rank by itself, when stacked with Reveal it would increase to two. I edited it to be maxed at SS.

It does not, it is a clan-specific one that is more for flavor than an actual positive benefit. Unless there's something you're not telling me

Everything else is pretty solid.

Alrighty, I added that part in. Is there anything else?

This looks good. Approved.

Since midnight is no longer here, I'll take over.

I talked it over to Miles a while ago, and he said that Reveal is okay to stay due to the fact that the maintenance cost for the chakra is abnormally high as a trade off. But I will definitely edit the others in new post for the revamp.
