Physical Appearance:
The Hagane Clan really lives up to the tall tale stories of their clan. The members of this clan are all naturally beefy with their enhanced muscles and despite their differential in body sizes. The members of this clan have a slightly darker complexion than most. They usually wear their hair in a short style thus creating less distraction of the battlefield. These clan members usually wear a flak jacket similar to that of a jounin but differ in color for they are of the brown color and cut short just above the abdomen.

Taijutsu Specialist:
This clan pride is within their Taijutsu. They spend no time training anything but their than techniques and their martial arts. So much time and dedication is spent om them training in Tai, their clan has gotten a nifty title of being one of the best clans around at hand to hand combat. The Hagane members are all Taijutsu specialist.

Clan Ability:
The Hagane involves clan members being able to use their skin as a weapon and as an extension of them self. By manipulating the skin cells themselves, they can cause them to have dense skin, rapid growth, skin cell regeneration, and cell shaping manipulation.

The most notable part of this skins manipulation is the ability to create a dense skin that is more resistant to physical damage. Being that their skins is so tough they Hagane are willing to be hit anything and anyone with full force without little if any trace on consequence. The ultimate expression of this focus is the ability to concentrate their body's natural energies into their entire, manifesting as a supernatural glow around themselves, making their body "like unto a thing of iron." So concentrated, this "iron skin" can smash into targets or be target with superhuman hardness and impact, while they becomes dominant to pain given by taijutsu up to their rank. Pain delivered by weapons, and small explosions are reduced to 50% damage though their skin will grow back as if nothing happened. Although the Hagane skin can be cut through, however piercing fatally them straight through is nearly impossible.

A few of the clans other abilities are rapid growth and skin cell manipulation. By manipulating the skill cells the Hagane have a natural ability to grow back skin at a very rapid pace. Small cuts and gashes mean nothing to the Hagane because they heal up in almost the same instant they are created. Not that the Hagane doesn't feel this damage they just heal quickly from it due to their natural ability to regenerate their skin covering any tracks of previous damage. The Hagane's recovery time from physical trauma is significantly shorter than that of a normal shinobi. This being so, the Hagane body normally heals 25% faster than other shinobi.

The final ability to the Hagane is that the have free will to skin cell shape shifting. This meaning that the Hagane even without a weapon in hand can manipulate their skin structure in making a weapon out of themselves. These weapon can range from swords and spears, to projectile daggers. The weapons such as swords, spears, and axe are apart of the Hagane members, meaning they are always just a manipulation of the skin and an extension of the body. Only small parts the size of daggers can be used as projectile.

Drawback:
A major drawback, however, to this superhuman durability is that when they do sustain serious injury beyond this ability to heal on it's own, medical care is difficult, given rookie doctors' inability to get past their hardened skin.

History:

Quote :: For as long as history has recorded shinobi and there ability to manipulate chakra for fighting use the Hagane clan has been in the records as a prominent clan. With the ability to control and manipulate chakra and chakra waves they have been noted as a great clan in the history of Iwagakure. With stories and legends dating back to the first arrival of shinobi in the land there presence is a mystery.

Nobody knows how the ability to manipulate chakra came about in the clan, but as the building of the great village Iwagakure, a family of chakra controllers came forth to assist in the building. The leader of the clan, Taka, Presented an alliance with Kumogakure, They provide a home, jobs and a school for the members of his clan and they would serve as members of the ninja force there in the village. With many wars and outbreaks as to who would own where, people were building there ranks to defend there homeland, which seemed to always be the center of attack. The Hagane clan pledged there alliance to Iwagakure and was mixed in as members of the village.

As years went on rising ninja from the clan made names for themselves and even took top honers in many places. But as the wars and battles for power dulled down many people began to point fingers and blame the clan for these attacks. Since there origin was unknown and there ability unique, no one had known where this clan served, or even started. So many people shunned them as a cursed clan, a clan with dark secrets that needed to be shone. But the Tsuchikage would not allow the clan to be persecuted and blamed, after all they helped to defend the village and protect it. So there fears and worries were put in the back of there mind as the village grew. The members of the Hagane clan continued to grow and were eventually a part of the village of Iwagakure.

Clan Jutsu:

Quote :

Quote :: Name: Ryūtai (Meaning: Fluid)
Clan: Hagane Clan
Emphasis: Ryūtai practitioners believe the same as the Wing Chun Art. The person with better body structure will win. A correct Ryūtai stance is like a piece of bamboo, firm but flexible, rooted but yielding. This structure is used to either deflect external forces or redirect them.

Balance is related to structure because a well-balanced body recovers quicker from stalled attacks and structure is maintained. Ryūtai trains the awareness of one's own body movement derived from muscular, tendon, and articular sources. Ryūtai favors a high, narrow stance with the elbows kept close to the body. Within the stance, arms are positioned across the vitals of the center-line. Shifting or turning within a stance is carried out variantly on the heels, balls, or middle (K1 or Kidney 1 point) of the foot depending on lineage. All attacks and counter-attacks are initiated from this firm, stable base. Ryūtai rarely compromises structure for more powerful attacks because this is believed to create defensive openings which may be exploited.

Structure is viewed as important, not only for reasons of defense, but also for attack. When the practitioner is effectively "rooted", or aligned so as to be braced against the ground, the force of the hit is believed to be far more devastating. Additionally, the practice of "settling" one's opponent to brace them more effectively against the ground aids in delivering as much force as possible to them.
Requirements: Must be a member of the Hagane Clan

Description:
Punches:
Because of the emphasis on the center line, the vertical fist straight punch is the most common strike in Wing Chun. However, the principle of simultaneous attack and defense suggests that all movements in the Siu Nim Tau with a forward execution flow into a strike if no effective resistance is met, without need for recomposure. Other explicit examples of punches can be found in the Chum Kiu and Bil Jee forms, although these punches may appear to be superficially different they are simply the result of the punch beginning from a different origin position while following the same fundamental idea, to punch in a straight line following the shortest distance between the fist and the opponent.

The vertical punch is the most basic and fundamental in Wing Chun and is usually thrown with the elbow down and in front of the body. Depending on the lineage, the fist is held anywhere from vertical to horizontal (palm side up). The contact points also vary from the top two knuckles, to the middle two knuckles, to the bottom three knuckles. In some lineages of Wing Chun, the fist is swiveled at the wrist on point of impact so that the bottom three knuckles are thrust forward adding power to the punch while it is at maximum extension.

The punches may be thrown in quick succession in a "straight blast" or "chain punching". When executed correctly, it can be used as a disorienting finisher.

However, it is often misunderstood and criticized for encouraging weaker punches that do not utilize the whole body. But in fact, the formal name of it in Chinese is translated as "The Sun-character Rushing Punch", practitioner typically would rush forward with his full body weight "throwing" towards his opponent, with the fist as the "nail", and his full body weight as the "hammer". Also with each successive punch, practitioner would step in closer and closer to the opponent, and hence maximize the so-called "power in an inch" without the need of big swings or big punches.

Wing Chun favors the vertical punch for several reasons:
• Directness. The punch is not "loaded" by pulling the elbow behind the body. The punch travels straight towards the target from the guard position (hands are held in front of the chest)

• Protection. The elbow is kept low to cover the front midsection of the body. It is more difficult for an opponent to execute an elbow lock/break when the elbow occupies this position. This aids in generating power by use of the entire body structure rather than only the arm to strike. Also with the elbow down, it offers less opening for the body to be attacked while the forearm and punch intercept space towards the head and upper body.

• Strength and Impact. Wing Chun practitioners believe that because the elbow is behind the fist during the strike, it is thereby supported by the strength of the entire body rather than just a swinging fist, and therefore has more impact. A common analogy is a baseball bat being swung at someone's head, as opposed to the butt end of the bat being thrust forward into the opponent's face, which would cause far more damage than a glancing hit and is not as easy to evade. Many skilled practitioners pride themselves on being able to generate "short power" or large amount of power in a short space. A common demonstration of this is the "one-inch punch", a punch that starts only an inch away from the target yet delivers an explosive amount of force.

• Alignment & Structure. Because of Wing Chun's usage of stance, the vertical punch is thus more suitable. The limb directly in front of the chest, elbow down, vertical nature of the punch allows a practitioner to absorb the rebound of the punch by directing it through the elbows and into the stance. This is a desirable trait to a Wing Chun practitioner because it promotes use of the entire body structure to generate power. Whereas, the rebound of a horizontal punch uses only the arm to strike. In this elbow-out position the hinge-structure directs force outwards along the limb producing torque in the puncher's body.

Kicks:
Kicks can be explicitly found in the Chum Kiu and Mook Jong forms, though some have made interpretations of small leg movements in the Siu Nim Tau and Bil Jee to contain information on kicking as well. Depending on lineage, a beginner is often introduced to basic kicking before learning the appropriate form. Traditionally, kicks are kept below the waist. This is characteristic of southern Chinese martial arts, in contrast to northern systems which utilize many high kicks.

Variations on front kicks are performed striking with the heel. The body may be square and the knee and foot are vertical on contact, or a pivot may be involved with the foot and knee on a plane at an angle. At short distances this can become a knee. A roundhouse kick is performed striking with the shin in a similar manner to the Muay Thai version with most of the power coming from the body pivot. This kick is usually used as a finisher at closer range, targeting anywhere between the ribs and the back of the knee, this kick can also become a knee at close range. Other kicks include a stamping kick for very close range and a sweep performed with the heel in a circular fashion.

Every kick is both an attack and defense, with legs being used to check incoming kicks or to take the initiative in striking through before a more circular kick can land. Kicks are delivered in one movement directly from the stance without chambering/cocking.

Quote :: Name: Iron Fist [Passive Ability]
Rank: N/A
Type: N/A
Range: Close
Element: N/A
Description: This is the clans natural ability. Being that their skins is so tough they Hagane are willing to hit anything and anyone with 100% power without any trace on consequence. Most shinobi only use 70% powers though they think they are full force. The brain has an automatic control function over the body holding people back preventing them from damaging themselves. The ultimate expression of this focus is the ability to concentrate their body's natural energies into their hand, manifesting as a supernatural glow around their clenched fist, making their fist "like unto a thing of iron." So concentrated, this "iron fist" can smash into its target with superhuman hardness and impact, while their hand becomes impervious to pain and injury while also being able to punch 30% harder than others.

Chakra Cost: 26

Name: Senninriki - Strength of one thousand men.
Rank: S
Type: Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Element: N/A
Description: This technique is more of the result of using Nimpou no Naibunpisen on the body for an exceedingly extended amount of time. The Hagane will increase their own strength by releasing hormones like growth hormones, Parathyroid hormone(Vitamin D activators),and Calcidiol(inactive Vitamin D). At this point any wear down on the muscles will like usual, be met by an increased physical strengthening.

To further this, the Hagane will use their chakra to damage their muscle fibers, and bone cells, then heal them up speeding the process without exercise.

All these things added to an Eisei-nins chakra control and focus, allow the Hagane to display, and execute amazing fetes of strength. This strength is almost unfathomable to have, especially when the factor of Hagane not weight training or anything of the sort comes to mind. It also transforms his physique to beyond a natural peek. Their bone density surpassing that of the many softer metals.

This technique that is the result of one use of Nimpou no Naibunpisen (Ninja Art of the Endocrine Gland), is rendered impossible to be done on someone else because it takes continuous practices to create the initial effect. Just as difficult, to increase or even continue the effect takes more and more ‘applications’ of the originating technique. Hagane currently does this to themselves twice a day, four days out of the week.

This is an upgraded form of the Full Body Empowered Technique. This jutsu boost Speed, reaction time, Strength, recovery time 100%. The down side is that can only be used for the max of 4 post and alone. This meaning while in the forum no other jutsu besides Taijutsu, Weaponry can be used. No other forms of chakra molding of any sort can be used while in this state. Also after this jutsu is worn off a great deal of body strain will be cast upon the user. This being that their body muscles will rip apart to the point where they are immobile. For every post after the first post their is a 14 CP drain on the user.
Chakra Cost: 34

Quote :: High IQ:
The member of this clan have a slighted increased degree of intelligence. Not to the exceptional degree of the Nara clan by far but they are very prominent with their IQ. Because of their clans ability they seem to have somewhat of a knack to logistics and the human anatomy. However, they are not medical specialist nor do they have any medical ability. The Hagane just seem to have a slight increased knowledge of their clans ability.

Remove. No reason for it and its an SC.

- If they are supposed to be the best in the ninja world at taijutsu then that would be there only specialty. Otherwise they can only be proficient in tai and weaponry. Just class them as expert physical combatants enjoy close range. You have a habit of exaggerating abilities which automatically OP's everything! Razz

there is no need to.

- Regarding your clan ability there needs to be better structure. Start off with describing and explaining your ability very well e.g what it is, how it happens, strengths and weaknesses. Then add anything that comes from this ability like add-ons e.g strength stamina.

Quote :: The Hagane Involves clan members being able to use their skin as a weapon and as an extension of them self. By manipulating the skin cells themselves, they can cause rapid grow e.g excess skin.

This is a good start. You need to talk about the actual skin ability more. Take of the skin cells themselves more and perhaps the ability to be able to duplicate them rapidly at will having complete control over them. This could allow you to tighten/combine the cells closer together, thus, allowing for thick/harder skin. Regarding the healing ability perhaps there is a technique where by pumping chakra into your skin cells they heal more rapidly. You actually need think in more detail with the ideal itself. Get inspiration from Kaguya (similar thing just with calcium and bones) and Luffy off One Piece (his rubber skin would have some similarities).

- Remove all primal focus.

*Now follow what I have said to make this moderation go smoothly, I am trying to help and do not have enough time to keep going over the same issue Smile

Quote :: Hagane Clan possesses superhuman strength and stamina, and has extremely dense skin and muscle tissue which render them highly resistant to physical injury.

Shouldnt' start with this sentence. Superhuman strength and stamina can be achieved via SC so please remove. Also, remove muscle tissue. Highly dense skin is a variation of your ability as a whole so it should be stated later in the description.

- The ability you need to outline so start off with "The Hagane involves clan members being able to use their skin as a weapon and as an extension of them self. By manipulating the skin cells themselves, they can causes....(now describe every aspect of it)

Rapid growth - (how)
Denser skin - (how)
skin cell regeneration - (how)
shaping the cells freehold manipulation - (how)

Quote :: A second ability of this said experiments further enhanced their strength by forcing the myofibrillar’s to be slightly more increased raising the clans’ physical strength above the normal shinobi standard (25% increase). This attribute is described as being significantly as strong as their first enhancement. The strength of the Hagane is the only clan to rival that of the Akimichi. Though they aren’t quite as strong physically they surely put up a good fight and strong enough to over power anyone if taken lightly.

Remove the 25% increase, once again this is achieved by SC. The only way that their strikes can have more power behind them would be through pressure or force. Perhaps chakra enhanced built up skin (folded or more dense with the cell fortification) they can strike harder. This could be outlined in the KKG but enforced in individual technique's.

Please refrain from bumping multiple times. The PM system is here for a reason and I'm sure that it would be much appreciated by all if you used it instead of bumping your topic back up to the top.

Quote :: However, no member of the Hagane clan is an official expert of this art, these members are actually more proficiant in Tai among the other granting them 1 Taijutsu technique one rank higher than than their rank. The highest ranking jounin Hagane can only be as proficient as a B-Rank Fuuinjutsu specialist.

-Denied.

Also, like Todd requested, remove the strength and speed percentage increase for that falls into SC's.
