Yozen (Bloodline)

## Yozen Clan History

A clan of people who were once peasants among the land of tea who cultivated the art of crafting tea in the traditional manner, creating brews that were given to the highest of councils, even crossing the lips of emperors and kings across the world. After generations of depending on shinobi and samurai to protect their lands and exploiting their known wealth, the clan would develop it's own unique art of combat. The clan would turn to Fuuinjutsu, inscribing seals upon their bodies and learning to scribe them on others as tattoos. These special clan seals often sealed the abilities of all foes, making their attackers frail as any common farmer. This would make the Yozen clan more famed, creating a rather prestigious clan with the head of their clan giving thanks to Ō-Inari, the deity they worshiped that presided over tea, rice and fertility. In later years, when the Yozen joined the ranks of shinobi, they sought to use their sealing arts to empower themselves against the jinchuuriki and sages. Many of them believed that Ō-Inari gave them blessed chakra seals and that nature chakra is the actual unholy force. These zealots of Ō-Inari reject and denounce natural energy, sage arts, and Evergreen as a result. They also reject the notion that forbidden seals are in any way impure.

## Blessings of Ō-Inari

The Blessings of Ō-Inari is a powerful manifestation of the corrupted nature chakra unique to the clan. While most others outside the clan refer to the mark as a curse seal, the deity Ō-Inari's blessing on the clan causes all their members to be born with it, granting them strength to defend their people. The mark is formed on the tongue of the clan member at birth, appearing in the form of three circles in a triangular pattern than have a single line connecting them in the center of the pattern. At D-Rank body the clan member is able to train for [5] paragraphs to reveal their mark in its dormant state. While user who choose to activate the Blessing of Ō-Inari can have a second forbidden seal they cannot become summoners unless they absolve themselves of their curse through a personalized narrative mission that can be completed by the character at any time. Implanting DNA from any other clan that grants a curse immediately curses the blood and places the new clan's curse upon them. However, implantees may only have the Blessing of Ō-Inari and no other forbidden seal outside clan seals. Primary members of the Cursed Clans may have the Blessings of O-Inari and one other forbidden seal but cannot use them at the same time. The phenomenal statistical buffs provided by the Blessing of Ō-Inari will revert back to your class's stat cap once the seal is dormant again. If the awoken stage is used then there are no drawbacks but if the unleashed stage is used then all stats are set to [-4] for [5] posts after the Forbidden Seal is fully unleashed and made dormant. The forbidden seal may not be accessed again until the [5] posts are up.

### Dormant Stage

The passive stage: Provides the host with 400 Natural chakra. This chakra can only be recovered while the host has their seal in its dormant stage. In addition, the host gains a passive chakra and stamina increase of +50 per body rank. Natural chakra when the forbidden seal is not active passively gathers natural chakra. In a non-combat situations, the seal regains 50 chakra per post and 25 chakra per post in combat situations.

***Training***:

* Requires the user to write out five posts of the user training to activate the Blessing of Ō-Inari.

### Awoken Stage

This is the first stage usage of the Blessing of Ō-Inari. The forbidden seal spreads throughout the body as a pattern of curved lines and blotches originating from the seal's original position, generally morphing the face first. This is the usual pattern but can be unique to the individual.

***Basic Effects:***

* Increases all stats to [10] automatically.
* Grants Overwhelming to Fuuinjutsu based techniques as well as a single chosen bukijutsu or taijutsu style.
* Costs 25 Natural Chakra per post used to maintain.

### Unleashed Stage

This is the second stage usage of the Blessing of Ō-Inari . The forbidden seal spreads further and reddens the skin, creating horns atop the head that resemble fox ears. The user's teeth become long and jagged while the fingernails grow longer to resemble claws. The bone structure of the user's legs often change into that of a foxes, allowing their speed and agility to shine while they are coated with a light grey exoskeleton like armor that covers the shoulders, upper torso, forearms and groin. Overall the user resembles a humanoid fox but this is just the typical design and may vary with other users.

***Basic Effects:***

* Increases Speed and Agility to [12] and Endurance and Strength to [10] automatically.
* Grants Overwhelming to all fuuinjutsu based techniques as well as two taijutsu or bukijutsu styles.
* Costs 50 Natural Chakra per post used to maintain.

## Yozen Traits

* Family have some sort of tattoo upon the body, the larger the better.
* Fuuinjutsu can be expressed through the body art with handseals.
* Fuuinjutsu are to be listed under the Clan Jutsu heading, requiring no slot to learn.
* Fuuinjutsu techniques require [10] less chakra per body rank of the Yozen clansman (maximum of 60 at S+) without losing their potency.

## Bloodline Attributes

* **▱▰▱ Inscribed Flesh |** The Yozen can create any and all seals, and therefore cast any sealing technique - no matter how intricate or complex - upon their skin without handseals. This alternative method for Fuuin must still adhere to the alternative jutsu casting clause as chakra must still be gathered to accomplish a technique as a seal isn't instantly created. In addition, with one-touch and one action, the Yozen is able to summon up to three creatures from a contract for only the chakra cost of the highest-ranked creature summoned.

* **▱▰▱ Ō-Inari Incarnate |** While in the Unleashed Stage of the Blessings of Ō-Inari forbidden seal, the living tattoos conjured by the Tea Spirit Guardian Technique can have corrupted nature chakra applied to them to make all attacks they use overwhelming. The corrupted nature chakra must pay for half of the cost of the Tea Spirit Guardian Technique when cast.

* **▱▰▱ Sacrosanct Seal |** Forbidden Seals, including Blessings of Ō-Inari, owned by this rpc have an additional 100 corrupted nature chakra stored in their seal. Additionally, by rejecting that forbidden seals/curse marks are curses at all, the Yozen clansmen are able to keep full summoning contracts while having the Blessing of Ō-Inari and any other forbidden seal.

## Yozen Clan Techniques

**▰ Body of Ō-Inari [ Ō-Inari no Tai ] | Rank E | Supplementary**

The user channels chakra through the desired portion of their body, allowing them to create, alter or remove tattoos upon their body.

**▰ Seal of Ō-Inari [ Fuuin no Ō-Inari ] | Rank X**

The user channels chakra into their hand, coating it in their chakra. For two posts per rank of the technique the user's physical contact with any target allows them to apply a fuuinjutsu technique or clan technique on that target as well as creating permanent tattoos to willing targets. Tattoos applied unwillingly must be removed with the flesh, surgically or removed by another clan member and allow fuuinjutsu techniques and clan techniques cast by the user to be applied directly to the target for two posts per rank of the applied technique. This technique must be paid equally in rank to the highest body rank among targets if used for several targets.

**▰ Skill Modification [ Sukiru Shūsei ] | Rank X**

The user targets themselves or a target opponent. The user is able to enhance or ravage the abilitity of the target's physical techniques. For two posts per applied rank, if an opponent is targeted their taijutsu and bukijutsu techniques are considered two ranks lower in power during collisions while the user or allies taijutsu and bukijutsu techniques are treated as one rank higher if they are enhanced. This technique must be executed at the rank of the target's body rank.

**▰ Contract Summon Jamming [ Keiyaku Shōkan Jamingu ] | Rank X**

The user places their hand on the ground as a tattoo created previously on their arm moves from the arm to the ground, creating a seal upon the earth no larger than a baseball.

**▰ Spiritual Modification [ Seishin-Tekina Henkō ] | Rank X**

After making contact with a target with the Seal of O Inari or targeting oneself, the user enhances the abilities of the targets spiritual tiered techniques by one rank by passively drawing chakra from this technique as a supplementary source. Chakra must be expended from the user each time this action is preformed. This requires chakra one rank below the casted rank to preform. Alternatively, when debuffing a target's spiritual attacks, the user must pay one rank below the effected technique to lower it's effective rank by two.

**▰ Nature Chakra Modification [ Shizen no Chakura Shūsei ] | Rank X**

After making contact with a target with the Seal of O Inari or targeting oneself, the user enhances or reduces the target's active nature or corrupted nature chakra by the rank of this technique.

**▰ Binding Ceremony [ Kōsoku-Shiki ] | Rank X**

**▰ Chakra Negation Seal [ Chakura Hitei Shīru ] | Rank X**

**▰ Tea Spirit Guardian Technique [ Ocha Seishin Gādian ] | Rank X**

The user designates one of the tattoos they've made that is in the same thread as themselves, channeling chakra into the flesh with the tattoo. That tattoo physically manifests as the artwork it was representing, seperating from the target's medium to create itself. Regardless of its design, the tattoo creation has the same activation ability of the Shadow Clone Technique. The animated tattoo can use basic combat attacks logical to its physical design as well as sealing based techniques the user has access to as well as the user's elemental attacks. This technique remains active for two posts per rank of the technique. The living tattoo returns to the place it had been animated from after it is no longer in use unless it is destroyed or if its source has left the locale; if the source leaves the same topic then the tattoo automatically fades from existence, destroyed by techniques of their own rank and below if undefended.

**▰ Expansive Sealing Art [ Kakuchō Shīringuāto ] | Rank S**

The user touches a surface, applying one of their tattoo's to the surface. When this is done, the user's tattoo expels chakra that effects a twenty foot radius per rank of the technique that allows effects of other techniques that target specific individuals who bear active tattoos to be applied to an area of effect instead. This requires an A rank upkeep cost every other post and replaces the duration for techniques cast when targeting this specific seal.
