Clan: Kurosaki

Location: Scattered

Clan History: The original origins of the clan have long been lost to time; the stories of their people hint to a time when they lived in the warmer regions of the world; but whether or not these stories are true is unknown. As far as anyone is sure of, the Kurosaki clan has lived and worked in the snowy regions of the far north for as long as anyone can remember. The clan has long been famous for their work as weavers and tanners; taking any material or animal pelt and making the finest quality clothing around. The clan has long used special seals to make clothing water-proof or warmer then it would normally be; giving rise to the ability of the people of the north to wear very light-weight, yet extremely durable and warm clothing; usually made of silk from the hidden forest, or bird skins that have been tanned a special way.

The seal that they are most famous for was created on accident; one of the master weavers was attempting to repair on of the massive looms used to create the industrial cloth for large window treatments or wall hangings when a far small, exceedingly important part fell into a crack that was too small to reach into. Thinking quickly, the Kurosaki retrieved a bolt of 'defective' cloth and attempted to fashion a magnet hook from the cloth and some other spare bits. When that failed; he started trying to think of another way to get at the part without having to dismantle the entire loom. After several hours, the idea to modify a seal and use a length of cloth like a snake came to him; he could see the part after all, he just needed to maneuver the fabric and wrap it up to pull it free. It took the better part of the rest of the day to get the seal right; and when he was able to successfully retrieve the loom part; he realized just how effective controlling cloth in that manner could be.

From there, the idea of controlling cloth was born and nurtured by the clan; each generation improving upon the last until the current seal was created. It is almost unheard of to fine a Kurosaki without a bolt or two of cloth on their person at all times; at least one bolt of spare fabric for repairs, and a second with the special seal that they use whenever an extra hand is needed.

Specialization: Fuuinjutsu
Kekkei Genkai: Cloth Control
Kekkei Genkai Description: By inscribing bolts of chakra cloth with a secret seal, members of the Kurosaki clan are able to control the cloth as if it was an extension of their own body; similar to a prehensile tail or additional arm. By adding additional seals to the cloth in various places, the user is able to create different effects and use various jutsu that wouldn't normally be possible without access the to cloth. The actual power of the cloth comes from the seal, and the user's ability to manipulate it. Because of this, low ranking seals lead to slow, jerky movements of the cloth; better suited for physical attacking or constraint.The number of bolts carried is limited only by the user's ability to carry them. Each member of the clan receives 1 free C-Rank bolt of cloth.
Drawbacks: The clan can only control cloth that has the clan seal inscribed into it. Usually the clan member accomplishes this by placing the required seal at the deepest point of the bolt; in order to maximize the amount of cloth they can control at any given time. However; any time the cloth is cut away from that base, control is lost of the part not still in contact with the seal. (EX: You have a 3m³ bolt of cloth to work with. An opponent slices off a section 1m³. The part sliced away is now useless and unable to be controlled by the Kurosaki ninja via the Cloth Control Seal.) Because the cloth is just that, basic cloth, it is highly susceptible to fire and slicing based attacks. Katon gains a +1 rank damage against the cloth itself, and Kenjutsu or other slicing type attacks of C-rank or higher will slice clean through the cloth with no resistance at all.

Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:

Name: Kurosaki Seal: Cloth Control
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: C-A
Type: Supplementary
Element: /
Range: /
Specialty: Fuuinjutsu || Kurosaki Clan
Duration: Permanent
Cooldown: /
Description: Simple in terms of Fuuinjutsu, this seal is special not for it's power but for what it does. By affixing it to a bolt of chakra impregnated cloth, the sealer is able to control the cloth as if it was an extension of his/her own body. The seal is normally placed on the very edge of the cloth to be controlled, in order to maximize the amount of cloth that can be controlled at any given time. The only difference between the seal at various ranks is the amount of cloth per bolt that can be controlled at any time. C-rank may control a maximum of 8m³; B-rank may control 15m³; A-rank may control a maximum of 30m³. Be aware, these numbers are for individual seals placed on singular bolts of fabric cloth; the clan member may carry more then one at any time.

C-Rank: 1 bolt can be controlled, cloth moves at ~14m/s
B-Rank: 2 bolts can be controlled, cloth moves at ~20m/s
A-rank: 2 bolts can be controlled, cloth moves at ~31m/s

Clan Item:

please measure in meters and not in yards, and you''ve changed the layout of the clan app, could you fix this please? Also, speeds and applications of the jutsu would be possible~

The template change was a spazz on my part. That's fixed. Switched to meters, although now it's going to be hard for anyone to understand the measurments because the conversions aren't clean. @@

Applications are endless, actually. So long as it doesn't violate the rank rules and falls within the restrictions of the cloth itself, you can do it; technically. Is there a speed table somewhere; otherwise I'd be throwing numbers at the wall and using what sticks. xD

Your speeds seem fine, just make sure you put them under the actual jutsu for the KKG so when you use it people will see it. And I think by application maybe an example of a couple of things you could do? eg. Wrapping people's limbs/bodies, etc. Once again so we can kind of get an idea. Even if there's a lot something can do, there should still be an example~

(This is Mitsuo)

Moved the speed. The problem with giving an example of what you could do with it is that people reading the clan are going to stick in what's given, instead of actually thinking. The very nature of the clan means everyone is going to use the cloth differently in battle, or in general, dependant on their personal tastes. The way I use the cloth is not how someone else would; entirely because of my personal styles and the way my character is built. I get why you would want examples here, but beyond what's already said, namely "control the cloth as if it was an extension of their own body; similar to a prehensile tail or additional arm", there isn't much else I can say here without killing half the heart and soul of the clan. I've seen it happen hundreds of times with custom clans, I'd prefer not to keep the problem going.

We ask you to do that so that future members of this clan don't go: "Well, it didn't say i can't use it to magically zap people to death, so i can"

A clear explanation of what it can and/or can't do doesn't mean that people are limited to just say stretching the cloth, it's used to explain what the KKG allows and not just what it should always do. Are you able to bend it to a certain degree, are there limits to how much cloth you can control at one time? If the cloth is say ripped, will you still be able to control it? Questions like that help explain the overall nature of the technique.

If the cloth is say ripped, will you still be able to control it?

However; any time the cloth is cut away from that base, control is lost of the part not still in contact with the seal. (EX: You have a 3m3 bolt of cloth to work with. An opponent slices off a section 1m3. The part sliced away is now useless and unable to be controlled by the Kurosaki ninja via the Cloth Control Seal.)

So long as the cloth is still attached to the main bolt, control is retained. You can't use a seal to control something that isn't in contact with it. Unless the rules of Fuuinjutsu have been changed and no one told me.

an extension of their own body; similar to a prehensile tail or additional arm.

That is literally the best I can offer here, because this is the entire point. You want the limits of the cloth?

Because the cloth is just that, basic cloth,

It's stated that this is basic cloth. Stretch? Sure, but you can't exceed the given amount of controllable cloth per rank. The exact abilities and such of the cloth are determined by /what kind/ of cloth the person is using. Ranmaru personally uses silk for his bolts; which has highly different properties to say wool, cotton, etc.

I have one more thing to nitpick about here. When you're not using the jutsu (which it is assumed is enhancing your cloth) what can cut the cloth? Because silk and linen should not need a B rank blade to cut them. In my opinion a C rank cloth not being able to be cut by anything less than a B rank blade is crazy, but if you could address what I have requested please, it would be appreciated.

Oookay, I forget ya'll have E-rank still; I see now why it seemed excessive. The B-rank was because you needed something sharp as a fine katana to cut it originally; that was my bad for forgetting to read up on the updated item guides here when I brought it over. Dropped it to C-rank, which is the min-rank of the cloth anyway. The cloth's rank is equal to that of the seal you put on it; so in a sense setting the cutting to B-rank isn't actually that outrageous, because by that logic even the A-rank cloth can be cut by B-rank weapons/attacks. But again, bad logic for this site, because rules are different.

Anything else?

I imagined that was the case with the seals enhancing the cloth. As is, I believe this clan is fine personally and will give you my 1/2 Approved~

Change mph to m/s and i will approve this

Changed to m/s @@

I know Binsu went to bed, I'll throw my 1/2 Approved~ back up and see if I can get someone else to full approve this for you

Everything looks good. . .sooo 2/2 . . . it's APPROVED

The clan and jutsu seem fine. The only thing that needs to be edited is the item. All members start at D, so either they get a C-Rank bolt or a D-Rank needs to be made in place of the current write up.

Edited & Approved
