Age : 31 Posts : 175

Clan Name: Kazami
Location: Water Country, Kirigakure
Signature Traits:
Appearance: Due to not being ones in favor of the light, most of the Kazami clan members have pale or light complexions along with darkly colored eyes, the rarest of the colors is yellow. Due to avoiding natural light and radiation, Kazami clan members have darker shades of hair from black to brown but it isn't uncommon for other darker shades of colors such as blonde or red to appear among the list. Kazami clan members are known for having long hair among them, males having hair that usually reaches down to their shoulders where as female members have hair reaching down to a certain length on their back, yet there are others of both sexes to have it a shorter style.

Darkness
The main reason for their light complexion and dark hair is the fact that the land that the Kazami clan members hailed, their village was surrounded by mountains which blocked the suns rays from breaking through which made the lifestyle of growing crops and food very difficult which was the reason that they moved. But due to living in the dark, their eyes had grown accustom to the dark, allowing them to see regardless of how dark it is but their eyes are still effected by brighter lights than normal.

Tricks of The Trade & Intellectual Studies.
Clan members naturally learned the basics of repairing and maintaining their own weapons as well the principles of haggling, goods such as cloth, weapons, and raw minerals for their own gain. This also came into the areas of construction such as building houses, stores, making new settlements and expanding. become natural builders in their society. From their lineage the clan members talents stretched into new origins of discovery be it from strategies to astronomy to creating new structures, the list is endless.

Nocturnal: Kazami clan members being adjusted more to living in the dark, the large majority of the members became nocturnal where as others kept into the normal routine of sleeping patterns. The nocturnal sleeping pattern became most common in the warriors of the clan.

Corruption: At heart, the Kazami clan were corrupted. Seeking power in different ways, shape and form which lead to their clan abilities and the use of dark chakra. Though their personalities may of changed over the years as the clan grew, for the cost of using their techniques and not steel release, it fuels their mind in wanting to seek out their true intentions and return to the clans original corrupted stated.

Dark Chakra

Kazami Clan members manipulate the pure dark chakra in their body in which is used for their techniques. However due to the Kazami clans dark chakra it changes the appearance of a standard element they can control for example the water would seem more like a shade but still contains the property of water.

Kekkei Genkai: Kōton - Steel Release

Steel Release (鋼遁 Kōton) is an Advanced Chakra Natures that involves bending the users chakra into a physical shape around their body to enhance their own characteristics for offensive and defensive purposes as well as other forms other styles of techniques. The techniques were originally created by a member of the Kazami clan who once used it for honest work as a blacksmith before the clan learned of its secrets and used it for other means. This also allows the clan members to manipulate their chakra into black steel and use pre-existing metal as components for their techniques. The metal still contains some of its original properties making it able to withstand high temperatures, fire is one of its biggest weaknesses making the metal reach a temperature where it is unable to be used without causing harm to the clan users. Another weakness would be reducing the temperature with ice, causing the metal to be brittle and break easily than it should. The strengths that come into show while using these techniques are strong against attacks such as Earth, Water, Weaponry and other form of blunt or sharp attacks. Lightning however is not a weakness due to what is produce isn't conductive but only conductive to the users chakra.

History: In their homeland the Kazami Clan can trace its lineage as far back from when time began. That is, although not back then they were known as a clan just members of society that did not know their power. In their land once the clan became into existence the head of the family who was the queens brother and served directly beneath his older sibling. This became the earliest of record when the clan came into existence and became known as both servants and warriors to the noble family which ruled the homeland.

Yet in the kingdom with royalty and nobles becomes betrayal, which nearly ended in the erasure of the Kazami clan. Scholars from their land argue over what happened over the events that took place but the answers and the reasons were unclear. The conclusion that members of the kingdom came to the decision of which was jealously of the clan head, jealous of his sisters royalty and having to serve under her which resulted in the members of the clan being banished from the kingdom and hunted down, shortening their numbers.

However this caused self-destruction between the remaining members of the clan which lead into the clan to break into two separate "tribes" with different clan heads, one of them originally being the brother of the Queen who was murdered alongside the King. This lead to a battle between the two in their ancestral home which they had no choice but to leave behind after the battle was over and the surviving members were those that were lead by the young brother of the queen.

The betrayal between the clan left their numbers short as they traveled to find new refuge which left to a lingering doubt of when would the people try to turn on each other once again but on their travels the remnants of the clan came across a small tribe living among the mountains in which they migrated into and bought new life and reformed the Kazami clan for many years to come.

Years went by as the Kazami clan members restored their numbers but it would seem that tragedy is a burden which follows them wherever they go as their village surrounded by mountains were struck by an earthquake and ended up with their numbers dwindling yet again. With no other options left the clan had come to the decision but to leave this land behind them in search of a new start elsewhere. Using the remains of their village, timber, metal and whatever else they could scavenge in order to build a boat large enough to carry them off into the sea to start their journey.

Preparations had to be quick they couldn't afford to lose food and water waiting around for too long only to have their numbers shortened even more from the voyage. It took some time before the boat was complete, the clan had to ration the food out and have daily allowances having little choice but to make do with what they had. The biggest fear of which the clan had was the fear of the unknown, they had no idea on where they would end up, if anywhere at all, but they couldn't stay in their homeland any longer and with the final preparations they set out on their voyage to sea.

The journey out at sea was rough, the surviving clan members had no clue on what or where their destination would be all they could do is hope for the best. Their numbers fell short as the elderly fell ill and passed away, the children were struggling to survive as well. After weeks of traveling and many casualties the boat reached an unknown dock on the outskirts of the Water Country.

Upon their arrival they were greeted by unfriendly faces, ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village but once explaining their situation, going through the correct procedure the clan became apart of their culture and thus began another rebirth of the clan and to restrengthen their numbers yet again.

But just as it was stated in the past tragedy seems to follow the Kazami clan wherever they go, as if it was a curse lingering around them. The destruction of Kirigakure as the Three Tails went berserk, leaving nothing left of the hidden village, leaving the Kazami clan short in numbers once again.

All right. So from the description of this type of kekkei genkai, I wouldn't classify this as an "element." It isn't a combination of the five elements that is fire, water, wind, lightning or earth. If anything, this is a specialized chakra type KKG. The chakra is made physical and it is align in making a 'dark' type of chakra thus making dark type jutsu. So, I don't know if you want to make edits to adjust the jutsu accordingly to being plain dark tech and not an element tech.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

I'm cool with it just being a dark tech, does that still count as a KKG?

Posts : 760

Yeah, that's fine. As long as you don't classify it as an element, we cool.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Alright made the edits to the jutsu and just stated it as Dark Chakra instead of Dark Release.
That cool?

Posts : 760

All right, here's the deal.

From this particular descriptions

Yuuji wrote:: Kazami Clan members manipulate the chakra in their body in which is used for their techniques, however they can be related to the Nara Clans shadow techniques but they take on a more physical form.

and

Yuuji wrote:: However due to the Kazami clans tainted chakra it changes the appearance of the element for example the water would seem more like a shade but still contains the property of water.

This makes it very hard and ambiguous to write out a proper review for the jutsu. Like if this is pure dark chakra manipulation then you need to clarify your jutsu description. Some jutsu have burning damage and melting damage(related to fire element).

So before I even look at your jutsu, you need to edit the description because, again, this isn't an element.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Pretty much changed it to cutting, slashing, kinetic damage etc.
Since apparently chakra burns are only for the fire element.

As for the second part, it simply states that it changes the appearance of an element of which they control, as the chakra is pure darkness or whatever it was you stated.
Hope that cleared it up.

-Grand Eclipse: No to the enhancing of your techniques. I can see this as a strategic bonus towards dark related technique because the opponent can't see.

-Arms of Darkness: No to the corruption unless there is a affliction within the clan that states the decline of their mental health.

-Spiraling Dark Wheel: I am confused on the white wheel around the orb. If the concept of the clan is dark chakra, I'm puzzled that it can create a white wheel around it. Nevertheless, the scaling damage is really high for this. Edit accordingly.

-Dark Wave: High speeds, give a comparison of how fast it is going.The scaling of the damage is way too high, especially early ranks. Ease up on the damage significantly.

-Darkings: From what I gathered, this was something of a combination of the elemental clone and the shadow clone. If you want a custom shadow clone, then that's fine. At that rank? No. The premise of the shadow clone was for scouting in the first place.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

AoD - Naturally the clan were known for being evil with dark intentions, regardless of how good a person in the clan might be. By using that technique, it becomes an affliction because to them it seems like the heads have minds of their own when really it's just their true intentions coming out as stated unless they've already took that path and it just drives them further. So its more or less a drawback effect on the kinder clan members I suppose and just makes it somewhat interesting.

SoD - I guess the white ring was just to make it somewhat prettier instead of this dull dark orb, should've made it like a darker color, like a light or a dark grey but that can be changed. Damage will be reduced.

DW: High speeds, I'm not really sure what to compare it too personally, i mean if you treat it like a projectile such as a fireball. The damage I don't see a problem with this one personally but will be edited re accordingly.

Darklings - I guess you kinda can say its like a clone of some sort or similar too one. But it isn't anywhere near a shadow clone, due to a shadow clone can attack, fight and whatever else where as these guys can't do none of that, they simply gain vision and run around. They'd proof in one hit just like the academy clone jutsu.

But other than that, all done unless theres anything else.

-Arm of darkness: That I understand. It's just that it couldn't be exclusive to one technique. It would have to be a clan trait.

-Darkling: Ok, so with this particular technique their has to be some type of substance. Like the elemental clones that uses the water and earth have a solid substance. Granted, water clones can't move far from the user and there has is a certain limitation with earth clones but it has a certain mass to them.. Shadow Clones are the standard clone from the description you have where it can move somewhat freely and increase range. Elemental clones that involve fire, lightning and wind have the B-rank shadow clone as a basis.

What you are asking for couldn't be possible at C-rank just by using dark chakra alone. It needs some sort of substance. In this case, from the way you're describing it and its lack of a simple elemental base like water and earth, it'll need to have the basis of a shadow clone which is B-rank.

Grand Eclipse-Also, I forgot to add that the range of the ability needs to scale down to at least 10 meters at max rank. Although that might seem small in terms of numbers, it's quite huge when scaling it on the battlefield.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Alright cool, don't worry about the darkling one then I suppose we'll scrap that for now.
The scaling for Grand Eclipse, yeah I suppose you have a point it is rather large considering what a battlefield would be like.
As for the whole corruption thing, I guess it could come along with as a trait for the clan.
Using the clans abilities, induces corruption for their darker intentions in which they have to fight back unless not corrupted already.

Posts : 760

Whoops, also the arms of darkness. Reduce that as well to ten meters.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Right, lowered the ranges massively and stuff as asked.
Added in the trait, another thing I might aswell ask while Im here since it came up in chat.
Since this trait is simply chakra based, questions if KKG is allowed or would this count as it, as it simply effects elements because of its darkness.
So maybe by paying additional cost to already existing techs you could add a dark effect to them, if any suggestions or just a simple no would be fine.
Don't ask don't get xD

By dark effect, do you mean an aesthetic change?

Age : 31 Posts : 175

No no, not that since I already stated elements have an aesthetic change because of it.
But I mean like, say a clan member does the handseals and forms a fireball, it's appearance would be dull and dark but remain all of its normal properties but roid it up slightly, not to be overpowered just to make it like.. have a weakness effect if it connects if the member pays an extra cost to put a.. dark spin on it if that makes sense?

It was a random idea that came up in the chatbox, its a shot in the dark really.
No pun intended.

Oh. You would have to edit all the jutsu that were canon into custom if you do that. If you wanna do that then by all means go ahead.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Alright, thats cool.
Does that have to be done here or can it simply be done on an character application.
Or I mean even if its just using the canon jutsu and when it comes to RPing, mentioning the description or it and such.

But I guess the other parts a no, since it increases the strength of already made jutsus.

Posts : 760

Correct, that is a no on the enhanced strength part.

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Thats cool with me then dude, like I said don't ask don't get.

1/2 Approved

Age : 31 Posts : 175

Appropriate changes have been made.
-Old KKG became just a trait.
-New KKG, Doujutsu along with the bloodline jutsu.

Posts : 760

All right, I'll have to retract my 1/2 to look at it again.

You added the chakra cost per post for the activation of the doujutsu. However, the technique for the barrier itself will be listed as a jutsu. By it being a multi-rank, it'll need to have a the initial chakra cost upon activation plus the chakra cost per post. The reason for the chakra cost per post is because as you stated, at certain ranks it can block a number of techniques before breaking.

Done and done, sorry for being a pain in the arse about this.
