Clan History: A long time ago, when the sage of six paths defeated the ten tailed bijuu and split its chakra, there was a clan who saw this great feat taking place and admired the chakra beasts somewhat more than the sage for some reason. They saw the power beasts could hold and wanted to have that power, to become stronger than others and so they decided they would take on the traits of the beasts, and make themselves into something like them.

As the many years passed, the clan repeatedly tried and failed to take the power of the beasts, becoming shinobi thinking if they were strong to start, they could become even stronger. Each time they attempted to take the power of the beasts, they were stopped at every turn. It was very demoralizing and still they continued to try, vowing to become the most powerful clan out there.

The clan never really had a village it belonged to, they were simply nomads who stayed on the road to follow the tailed beasts and attempt to capture them or steal their chakra and take on their aspects. It wasn't until after the first shinobi world war that one of the clan members; Aizonate Shinzoku, began to develop his own jutsu using a technique he had perfected and used against the tailed beasts. Aizonate was known for his skills in fuuinjutsu and it is beacause of him all members of the clan learn fuuinjutsu. He developed a sealing technique that linked man and beast, allowing chakra to be borrowed, and aspects of the beast to be used by a norm shinobi.

Since then, as times passed, the clan passed down it's Kekkei Genkai, developing the skill used with it and the power of it until it came to be that the members of the clan could use their jutsu to take on aspects of the beast without the sealing jutsu and so they chose the easier way. Along this line, two paths developed. One side regarding power as the most important, another regarding speed as the most important. Since the paths were chosen, the clan has been uneasy with those not in their path and soon tensions could arise.

Kekkei Genkai Description: Two paths dictate what the Shinzoku can do and the members of this clan MUST choose a path to be regarded a Shinzoku in their community.  Despite either path, the user must take the 'Trained' perk. Given their strong ties to the Clan's legendary fuuinjutsu user from long ages past.

Members of the Okami path gain +1 to Strength, +1 to defense and have one blue and one golden hued eye[Cosmetic Until Jutsu Is Active]. They are regarded the frontline of the clan as the shinobi of this path tend to see the most battle. The members of this path also have a mouth full of sharp canine teeth, and tend to be quite hyper and blood thirsty.

Members of the Chita path gain +1 to Speed, +1 to Reflexes and have orange cat-slit eyes[Cosmetic Until Jutsu Is Active]. They are regarded as the assassins of the two seeing as they rarely see battle except for when they must kill, many of these become ANBU. The members of this path also have sharper teeth than normal but have sharp feline front teeth, and are usually more quiet than others.

Drawbacks:No matter which post is chosen, the members of this clan will not be able to learn their tertiary specialization or element until jounin level. The members of this clan find it a bit harder to learn their newest specializations or elements and as such they add a +10% Wordcount when learning them. NOTE: The drawbacks of this clan cannot lower abilities past Genin rank.

Those who choose the Okami Path MUST take bulky and short fuse negative characteristics. This balances out the strengths given to them by their passive alignment with the wolf.  Members of this path are also forbidden to learn Summoning as a specialization as they find it weak and pathetic, same goes for Puppetry. The members of this path also suffer a -1 penalty to speed and reflexes, given that their normal bulky bodies can not react quickly enough or move fast enough.

Those who choose the Chita Path MUST take frail and one track mind. As they are faster, they are unable to defend themselves properly without dodging and as assassins are only used to focusing on one target, so it balances out.  This path is also forbidden from learning Medical Ninjutsu, and Ninjutsu. As their minds simply can not grasp the fact of healing themselves or others and Ninjutsu goes against their stealth. The members of this path also suffer a penalty of -1 to defense and strength.[Ex: Chuunin will hit as have throwing strength of genin and defense of genin]

Cooldown:6, 8, 10[Following Original Order]
Description:The user focuses their chakra to grant themselves the strength of the Wolf. This gives the follower of the Okami path a +1 to Defense against all physical attacks[Bukijutsu,Taijutsu, and Strikes]. But it has another use. It can absorb one jutsu of a higher rank than the user, or two of a rank below the user. After this jutsu wears off though, the user suffers a fatigue-like state giving them -1.5 Defense and Strength.

Code:

Name: Lycanthropy Seal

Type:Supplementary
Element:None
Location:Stomach, in a spiral around the belly Button
Range:Personal
Duration:
Genin/Chuunin: Two Turns
Spec.Jounin/Jounin: Three Turns
Kage: Five Turns
Cooldown:4, 6, 10[Respectively]
Description:The user bites their thumb, then follows the spiral seal on their stomach with the blood and after doing so, places their palm against it uttering: "Let the moon rise." Shortly after, the user goes into an anthropomorphic form, taking on the aspects of the Okami. They grow snow white fur all over, their ears go onto the top of their heads, and the grow a tail. They are in essense: a wolf standing on it's hindlegs[Werewolf]. This gives no real boosts to their attributes, but does allow them to use the same tools a real wolf would have at its disposal and allows the use of 'Lunar Rage' jutsu. Once this jutsu ends, the user is found in just their undergarments[unless the have an armor that conforms as they grow].

Code:

Name:Lunar Rage

Description:Imbuing their eyes with their own chakra to make blood channel into them, the user will go into a short state of berserk rage. The user gains a +1 boost to Taijutsu, Strength, and Defense. In this mode, the user is unable to distinguish between friend and enemy, and will attack any and all within range. Due to the blood in the user's eyes, they are only able to see a maximum of fifteen meters in front of them, everything else behind that is either too blurry or just black. Even at fifteen meters the forms and shapes are blurred. Once this jutsu wears off, the user falls out of their lycanthropy form, regardless of how much longer they had. If the user triggers this jutsu as they are about to get out of the lycanthropy form however, the form will last until the jutsu ends. After the jutsu ends, the user suffers a penalty of -1 to Defense, Strength, and Taijutsu. As well as requiring a post for eyesight to return to normal.

Description:The follower of the Chita path imbues themself with chakra, giving them a boost of +1 to speed and gives them the ability to have soundless steps. They can track their target faster and quietly, making no sound. If they get a hit from behind with a jutsu, it gets a 1.5x damage boost. After this jutsu wears off though, the user is given a penalty of -1.5 speed.

Cooldown:4, 6, 10[Respectively]
Description:The user channels chakra into their palm, and places it upon the seal. The seal reacts, speeding up the user's heart and shifting their form into an anthropomorphic representation of a Cheetah standing on its hindlegs[Werecheetah?]. This gives no real boosts to the user, aside from the appearance of a cheetah as well as any tools the animal itself would have at its disposal. This allows for the ability 'Hyper Assault' to be triggered. Once this jutsu ends, the Chita Path follower is found to be in only their undergarments[unless they have a special armour that conforms to them.]

Code:

Description:The user channels their chakra into their eyes, forcing the cat-slit eyes to dialate as their heartbeat rises. The user gains a +1 To relfexes, speed, and taijutsu for the remainder of this jutsu. The user also receives a penalty of -1 Defense against Bukijutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu. The user is able to move at incredible speeds now, attacking their opponent quickly and moving away quicker. Once this jutsu wears off however, the user will fall out of their cheetah form, regardless of how much longer they had left. If they trigger this jutsu just before they switch back, however, they will be able to stay in their cheetah form until this jutsu ends. Once the jutsu ends, the user requires a post to allow their heart to return to normal and suffers a penalty of -1 speed, reflexes, and taijutsu.

Code:

No matter which path is chosen, anyone who joins this clan will NEVER be able to learn sennjutsu as this clan's jutsu and passive abilities are already too close to sennjutsu, and already resemble it.

This is not a drawback, I am about to leave but I will read more when I get home.

Fixed

Those who choose the Okami Path MUST take bulky and short fuse negative characteristics. This balances out the strengths given to them by their passive alignment with the wolf. Members of this path are also forbidden to learn Summoning as a specialization as they find it weak and pathetic, same goes for Puppetry.

As you usually know the character you are designing inside of a clan, barring specializations or elements from the clan are not considered draw backs. As they will not effect your play style at all, please find suitable draw backs for the immense strengths you are giving this clan or tone down everything, I will not read further until you have balanced the drawbacks to match the KKG.

On top of this a clan may only have five clan jutsu, this has six

Fix bump

Bump the 5% Word Count increase to 10% minimum and you can have my 1/2 approval.

I want another global mod or admin to look over this as well before it is cleared.

Bump

Added a note to drawbacks, as it came to mind

Defence isn't really a stat we recognise, you could say Receive +1 or -1 damage from Taijutsu and Bukijutsu techniques, that would work.

I'd also like to point out that right now as it's written, your Okami clan MUST take bulky, and recieve a -1 to speed means they recieve -2 to speed all up, just, letting you know, and for those advantages, Its about on par. same goes for the other clan

JUTSU

Strength of the pack:
"Can block a technique of one rank higher than the user." not of higher than the user, being able to block an SS rank jutsu with a C rank jutsu, is not going to happen, not ever.

Lycanthropy seal:
Once it ends they're found in their undergarments? do they fall unconscious without them? You make it sound lie they just suddenly disappear and are then found, and it needs clarification.

Lunar Rage:
No. 3 stats, and i assume again you mean -1 to tai and bukijutsu damage. Thats like, 4 buffs, when a B rank jutsu gets 1 buff. (without a balance). How long do you have the -'s for?

Chita stealth thing:
you need to give an example of 1.5x damage. and define from behind and how it effects you, with the +1 to speed you're stacking on it, spinning around and negating that weakness every time does not seem hard as an observer.

Warecheetah: Same as warewolf

Warecheetah ability:
The only way i can see you getting these buff abilities, is, if you have to have the negatives you state for the ENTIRE cooldown, not just 1 post.
