Kizen Family

* Kizen Jinko
* Kizen Kenrou
* Kizen Kagerou
* Kizen Byakko

The Kizen Family (跪前家 (キゼン ケ), *Kizen Ke*) descendants of Emperor Sutoku (崇徳天皇 (すとくてんのう), *Sutoku Tennō*), one of the Three Great Onryō (Vengeful Spirits) of Japan (日本三第怨霊 (ニホン サン ダイ オンリョウ), *Nihon San Dai Onryō*). Due to this and the powerful cursed techniques passed down through their clan, they are known and feared as a powerful family.

## Overview

Although, they are a very prominent Sorcerer Family, their Inherited Techniques are not well known due to major secrecy and information keeping of their techniques within the family. For example, none of the Kizen who possess an inherited technique possess the "Showing Ones Hands" binding vow, as to not divulge the function of their techniques. This has lead to the Kizen not holding as much political power in the Jujutsu society due to their quiet and reclusive nature but their words and opinions on matters is still very important and taken into consideration. This caused them to be known as "Silent Rulers", an extremely powerful Sorcerer Family and not to be underestimated.

The Kizen Family is known for valuing strong Cursed Techniques, Inherited or Innate, thus handing down their inherited technique is less of a priority. Instead the Kizen prioritize nurturing and creating powerful Jujutsu Sorcerers, often taking the time to protect and take care of less fortunate sorcerers which the traditional system would oppress. But they are known to value their blood purity and stigmatize clan members who marry outside the clan and their descendants. One of the reasons for this is possibly due to keeping their cursed techniques within the family itself.

The Katsurai and Keraun family have a history of bloodshed with the Kizen family. But, currently the Kizen have a truce pact made with the Katsurai family and their branch family in Greece, the Keraun Family. The pact was born due to the brother of the current family head, who was supposed to inherit the position, married a member of the Katsurai family. Since both families are adverse to killing members of their own bloodline, even if they are also mixed with an opposing family.

## Powers and Abilities

The most common trait possessed by Kizen Clan members is an extremely abundant Cursed Energy pool, it is extremely common for the Kizen to naturally possess more Cursed Energy than a common Jujutsu Sorcerer of their grade. They are dotted with an extremely powerful life force as well, many of the Kizen tie this to the fact they are descendants of Emperor Sutoku.

### Lord's Authority

"Lords Authority" (卿権 (キョウケン), *Kyōken*), is more of an innate feature of the Kizen families Cursed Energy than an ability. This innate trait changes their Cursed Energy to naturally instill awe and terror in people who are within their vicinity. Of course it can be countered by having higher amounts of cursed energy or having a strong enough will. As such, many common people who can't sense curses are often very intimidated by anyone in the Kizen Family. If concentrated and amplified, it is possible for a Kizen with enough skill, power and Cursed Energy, to spread a misfortune curse, a feature which is believed to be derived from the disaster curse Japan had suffered after the death of Emperor Sutoku.

### Inherited Techniques

* Emperor's Rule

**Emperor's Rule** (帝法 (テイハッ), *Teihatsu*) is the Inherited Technique of the **Kizen Family**. This Inherited Technique is similar to the Cursed Speech of the Inumaki Family as it reinforces the user's words to compel listeners and even objects to act or be acted upon the orders. Although, unlike the Cursed Speech technique the user can use Emperor's Rule at will as it does not require the use of a cursed tool or a particular set of seals, but it is also much more taxing on the user's Cursed Energy and physical body, especially on the throat. In addition, Emperor's Rule directly affects the reflex arc systems of the body as well as the auditory functions in the brain.

This technique will usually manifest as a much more powerful version of *Lords Authority*, allowing the user to make surrounding people naturally kneel around them, but it still has the same limitations as the previous, but they are much looser. Thus, the user can use their "Authority" to bluff and make themselves look much more imposing to their opponents.

* Curse Domination

The Kizen's technique **Curse Domination** is split into two branches. The first branch allows them to control Curse Spirits and Shikigami. Dominated curses are directly stored into the users shadow, post defeating the spirits. If the difference in grade is more than two levels, the kizen can dominate a curse with no consequences or conditions. They are also able to dominate other Sorcerer's Curses and Shikigami as long as they kill the master first, or defeat them in battle. If they manage to defeat the Shikigami in battle they will be able to control them, although the master can dispel the Shikigami themselves to prevent them from being dominated.

The second branch of **Curse Domination** is used to dominate a Cursed Energy. Allowing them to control the Cursed Energy within a Technique. However, this branch of the Curse Domination is extremely difficult to use and master. The only known, living user of this branch of Curse Domination is the Current Family Head, who refined this branch to its utmost limit. His refined Curse Domination Technique allows him to take control of an opponents Cursed Energy and use it against the user. However, they are also lacking in being able to dominate Spirits and Shikigami. Hence, learning and mastering both branches of the cursed technique is extremely unlikely and has never been seen since the Heian Era, the peak of Jujutsu Sorcery.
