Taikoubutai Clan

Posts : 2

Clan Name:Taikoubutai
Location: Fire country, they possess a compound within the Leaf Village.
Signature Traits: Members of the yunaiteddo clan tend to have light hair, usually around red, and can also be rather short tempered or have little patience, at times both. Supposedly the "lasters" were a bit more even tempered and patient, although they still had the same light coloured hair. Considering this it is easy to make the connection of short tempered or impatient to the rapid, bursts of power associated with yunaiteddo jutsu and tactics. In addition to this the clan members focus largely on melee combat and taijutsu as that compliments the Gekihatsu best. Finally, most members tend to wear a strange black garment, usually in the form of gloves or arm bands, these are their aura seals, which keep the Gekihatsu in check. Only the truly elite don't wear them as they have complete control over the Gekihatsu.
Kekkei Genkai: Gekihatsu, or Outburst, is the kekkei genkai of the Taikoubutai clan. The way it works is that those who bear this bloodline can create an "aura" out of their chakra, for the purpose of unleashing very dangerous and powerful attacks, which are almost exclusively close ranged. The Gekihatsu aura appears as a very dark purple cloud around the fist, foot, knee, or what have you of the user. The thing about the multiple locations is why the burst part of the name is so important, it's quite literally a brief, sudden burst of power, lasting only for the length of a single attack. The aura is not permanent and is not sustained in any way shape or form, conjured up from chakra only for the purposes of an attack and then the user goes back to normal.

Basically the dark purple aura is just chakra translated into a form of raw power, allowing the strikes of the user to hit with much more force. Technically it can be channeled along weapons and such but this is rarely done, and in that case the cutting ability, piercing power, or whatever kind of damage the weapon would inflict, is amplified instead of just plain impact. Additionally, more advanced techniques make the aura itself strike more forcefully, allowing for more variety in the method of attack. This can make an attack from the clan member rather dangerous, however each time they bring forth an outburst, or Gekihatsu, it lasts for only a few seconds at best, depending on things such as technique. For instance a basic Aura Strike would last for as long as the single punch, kick, what have you, while the Aura Blitz usually lasts anywhere from five to ten seconds due to how it works, but that's about as long as any single activation of Gekihatsu lasts. The reasons for this limitation are twofold, first is that that's how the clan members are trained, with the clan member wearing special equipment that seals their ability to summon this aura except in very limited quantities. Only the truly elite of the clan, such as some jounin and the clan leader, don't have any seals on their Gekihatsu as they've gained enough control to keep their aura from flaring up without the need for seals.

The second reason is that the aura can be every bit as dangerous to the user as it is to whoever their attacks are directed towards. Without proper control a Taikoubutai's aura could flare up out of control, draining all their chakra including that which they need just to survive, hence the seals. They work as a replacement for the control the clan member has not yet developed, allowing them to use their power safely. (Note: Naturally any training to be able to control Gekihatsu without seals must be extensively written via RP, at least two thousand words.)

History: The Taikoubutai have a long, and rather complicated, history. For one thing, they are technically only half a blood line, just one side of the coin of a greater Kekkei Genkai, the other half was...wiped out. To begin with the clan began many, many years ago with Akuma Taikoubutai who developed a way to turn his chakra into a deadly aura that could be kept in a passive form and just increase his overall abilities, or focused into a more brief burst for more devestating attacks. He taught no one his methods, and through some long forgotten method sealed the knowledge into his own blood, giving these strange abilities to his offspring, however, he was a man who believed in...healthy competition. As such of his two sons, one was taught the art of Gekihotsu, and the other the art of Chinchaku. Theoreticaly they could have learned both but Akuma did not tell them how to balance the two out, the calm, passive aura of Chinchaku was antithetical to the sudden bursts of Gekihotsu, even though they were technically from the same Kekkei Genkai. This kept the two close as their offspring and relatives could learn either one based on preference, but also gave them a nice little rivalry, Chinchaku versus Gekihotsu, Bursting versus Lasting, as the shorthand for the two separate "houses" came to be known.

At first things went fine, the clan prospered and did rather well for itself, but as time passed and the generations wore on, a rift began to appear. The rivalry became a bit less friendly, the competition became a bit less friendly. The two houses withdrew from each other a bit more, not letting young ones of the other study their techniques nearly as much, until finally, it boiled over. The clan leader died and was replaced with a young burster named Tamachi, and a few of the older, more experienced members of the Lasters...well they didn't like that much. A coup was attempted, and it failed and escalated into an all out civil war between the two houses, in the end the Bursters won out, annihilating the Lasters entirely. What was left of the clan picked itself up and began to put itself back together, this time as just one unified group, with nothing but the teachings of Gekihotsu. Now they are much more unified, focusing on loyalty in all things, to clan, to village, to team, and betrayal is the absolute worst thing anyone can do in their eyes. As such those of the clan that get into the Anbu are considered to be particularly honored, for theirs is the job of going after the traitors that would dare abandon village and kin. One thing is certain, they don't intend to repeat the past, and with half their legacy gone, it's not likely.

Oddly enough, the civil war took place during many of the serious events of Ninja history, and by the time it settled down and the clan was ready to start dealing with those outside, most of the villages had been formed. Seeking to avoid the conflict and cruel rivalry that had nearly destroyed them in the first place, the Taikoubutai settled with the Leaf Village, seeing as how it was the most peaceful of all the others, at least as far as a ninja of shinobi went towards peaceful. They've served the Fire Country faithfully and loyally ever since.

Toss me a bone here and give me a decent word limit for this training.

Also can you spoiler your jutsu and maybe even organize them? Makes things much easier. You may also want to put a code section for your jutsu so that you can just copy paste it rather than have to reformat it yourself.

Also I need you to go through your jutsu and mention how much damage these may do. From bruising to hurting or even breaking bones.

Alright, I added those things you asked, and I'm fairly certain I didn't overdo it with the damage.

Quote :: Name: Reiki Tsume (Aura Talon)
Rank: A
Type: Taijutsu
Range: Melee
Element: N/A
Description: A much more complicated and advanced form of Gekihatsu manipulation, this technique requries the use of an arm, while the others generally allowed freedom to punch, kick, knee, or elbow as preferred. With this they draw their arm back, feeding chakra into their aura, it forms around the limb, giving the shape of some clawed talon rather than a normal arm, and is immediately used for a powerful slash with devestating cutting ability. Naturally this is quite advanced, and it's impossible for anyone who still requires the sealed equipment to be able to learn it. As one would expect of an A rank technique with slashing qualities the user will cut through just about anything, most armour, bone, flesh, in a demonstration of brutal cutting power, definitely something to stay away from. (Cannot be learned if the clan member still requires sealed equipment)
Chakra Cost: 25

I take it this can be blocked if the shield is high enough ranked and this can be dodged. Mind giving me an idea on how big this is?

Quote :: Name: Yakushin (Onslaught)
Rank: S
Type: Taijutsu
Range: N/A
Element: N/A
Description: The single forbidden jutsu of the Taikoubutai clan, the clan leader is the only one who learns this technique. Anyone besides him or her, would have to sneak into their quarters and steal the scroll it is written on. It is the clan's most powerful technique, and most deadly. For this they feed a massive amount of chakra into their aura and let it engulf their entire body. The user will become entirely black with purple edges, giving them a shadowy, monstrous appearance. Their physical abilities are dramatically enhanced to incredible levels for a brief ten seconds, during which they unleash all hell upon the opponent in a desperate bid to end their opponent. The technique is not without cost beyond chakra, as a user should be wary that a limb or two doesn't simply turn to ash and blow away in the wind from the sheer force of the destructive power engulfing them. Thanks to the ten second limit and the sheer power the user possesses it's not unlikely for the opponent to have close to every bone in their body broken, assuming they survive the onslaught. (Cannot be learned if the clan member still requires sealed equipment.)
Chakra Cost: 39

So you die after using this? Also how drastic are we talking?

As for your other jutsu can you put it in meters?

Preferably following our classification.

Quote :: • Close (0 - 5m): These techniques are close range; anywhere between a single inch up to five meters. Almost all taijutsu moves are of this range.

• Mid (5m - 10m): These techniques are mid range; anywhere between five meters to ten meters.

• Long (10m+): These techniques are far range; anywhere above ten meters. Almost all puppeteers are of this range.
