Yurei
Unaffiliated
Dojutsu: Akayurei
Clan Leader: Naito Yurei
Clan History/Description Once upon a time, a long time ago, in the age of myth, the Yurei clan developed. Men and women of terrifyingly effective visual prowess, defying logic and sanity with scarily effective assassinations. Their visual abilities were so feared at this time, they were rumored to be able to read the very mind of the unfortunate soul that earned their ire. Soon, their reputation caught up with them, and they were driven out by those who feared them, eventually leaving Lightning Country altogether. They wouldn’t return for many, many years.
Over time, they lost much, but most of all they lost the size they once had. Once, they rivaled the most numerous clan, but as they wandered and intermarried, the Yurei began to dwindle, eventually only a few dozen remaining. Their power dwindled as well, their knowledge and most powerful techniques being but a mystery. Though they still remain quite the powerful force to be reckoned with, much of their glory has faded into ruin.
Now leaderless, they wander the outskirts of many countries but belonging to none.
Clan/Bloodline Traits & Characteristics: Several things bind the few members of the Yurei together, that mark them as part of this distinctive clan. The most notable, perhaps, are the discolorations of their eyes and hair. Unlike most of their kin tend to be, the Yurei possess bright violet eyes, so much so that they tend to almost glow in the dark. Their hair, as well, tends towards violet colors, though unlike the unchanging shade of their eyes, can vary between light shades of lavender to purples so dark they’re almost black. All pure-blooded Yurei possess these traits, while those mixed with other bloodlines possess at least one. It has become somewhat of a calling card among the family, how others among the clan know each other at a distance.
In addition to the violet colorations, the Yurei clan possess a petite, seemingly sickly frame. Pale of skin and small of stature, they are oft mistaken for someone stricken with a deathly illness. Despite this apparent weakness, however, they possess no such faults.
Bloodline Description & Abilities: In myth, the yurei are ruined souls, rent from their body to never see nirvana; departed and corrupted spirits to which physical boundaries mean very little. It is unclear if the Yurei clan or this myth developed first, but regardless of the origin, it is an apt theme. The abilities of the Yurei mimic the mythological creature they’re named after, their supernatural ability to peer through space, heedless of any barriers in the way, glowing red eyes burning with emotion. As their Dojutsu develops and their skill with it advances, the Yurei can cast powerful Genjutsu, see the chakra flow of all living things, project their full senses forward, and even determine if a person is close to death. Despite its ancient bloodline, the dangerous occupation of the Yurei oft means the ninja rarely have time to develop it. The potential power of this bloodline is still undiscovered.
Akayusei: Stage One: 500 EXP
lit. Red Ghost
The first stage of this Dojutsu, there are several benefits to the Akayusei at this level, even though it has not yet achieved its full potential. First and foremost, the Yurei gains the ability to passively see the chakra levels of individuals he or she looks at. While the method this is done varies between Clan members, it is typically an aura around the individual, with a larger aura indicating a more powerful aura. At this level, the Yurei cannot determine exact levels of chakra. The eyes of the Yurei are also extremely analytical. While Akayurei Stage One is active, the Yurei Clan member gets a passive “+” to Perception, while also gaining the ability to use ”Yurei Shiryoku”.
While activated, the Yurei possess glowing, bright red eyes, replacing the color of their pupil and iris. While typically a soft glow, at times of intense emotions, it can glow to reflect those, growing brighter or even leaving a flame-like trail. While activated, the Yurei clan member loses “.5 CP” per post.
Akayurei: Stage Two: 500 EXP
The penultimate advancement for this Dojutsu, and the stage at which most Yurei achieve sometime in their life. Training and experience has improved their sensory abilities quite a bit. The Yurei can now pinpoint exact levels of Chakra in living things they can see, an instinctive knowledge that is achieved simply by looking at an individual. Their analytical abilities have greatly increased as well. Simply by looking at a group, be it people, a pile of money, or trees in a forest, the Yurei will gain instinctive knowledge of the amount of objects within said groups; even with numerous groups of various types, the Yurei does not become overwhelmed by the information. Additionally, the Yurei Clan member gains a passive “++” to Perception. They gain access to a wider range of their clan abilities; “Akai Hekikai Technique”,”Chakura Yurei”, and “Yurei Shiryoku: Sakasame Ni”.
The red in the eyes is more pronounced now, even glowing red. Its almost a liquid, viscous form, roiling and pitching with the emotion of the member. When activated, the Yurei clan member loses. “.5 CP’ per post.
Akayurei Zentai 500 EXP
lit. Red Ghost Ultimate
The final stage for any Yurei to achieve, the ultimate ability for any member of the Clan. Their training, their experience, and ultimately, their experiences have culminated to activate Akayurei Zentai. Yurei with this level of Dojustu have the passive ability to see the exact amount of life any individual may have, determined by a red aura around the individual. Their sensory abilities are so enhanced that, by this point, the Yurei can detect subtle changes in an individuals chakra flow and body features to determine even small things, such as lying or movements; some akin this to mind-reading. In terms of precognition, and determining movements, lies, or an opponent's jutsu, the Yurei with Akayurei Zentai is considered to have 1 tier higher in Intelligence. Their analytical abilities are increased astronomically as well, gaining a 1 tier boost to Perception that replaces previous boosts. Finally, the Yurei can learn the ultimate Jutsu of their clan; “Yurei Shiryoku: Zettai Kankaku”.
The red is much more pronounced than the first two levels, filling their entire iris and covering their vision with a red, heatless flame.This flame is purely aesthetic and can take on many forms, from a streak of red across their eyes to a circular disc, to even appearing like make-up covering the eyelids. While activated, the Yurei clan member loses “1 CP” per post.
Bloodline Limits & Drawbacks: Like all Dojutsu, the Akayurei possesses its fair share of weaknesses. In addition to the specific weaknesses that the jutsus bring, the eye itself has faults as well. The jutsu themselves, unless otherwise stated, can only be used one at a time. Additionally, most of the Jutsu require concentration that can be interrupted by taking damage or other things that can cause damage. Akayurei Jutsu and abilities affect allies and enemies alike.
Clan Techniques
- Yurei Shiryoku:
Name: Yurei Shiryoku (lit. Ghost Sight)
Rank: D
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: up to 500m
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Sensory
Classification: Clan-Exclusive: Yurei, Supplemental Jutsu
Requirements: Akayurei: Stage One
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The technique that made the Yurei Clan a formidable force within their Village. At will, the Yurei can cast their vision up to 500 meters in whichever direction they are looking, bypassing most mundane and chakra-infused defenses. While vision is projected in this way, the Yurei has the same field of vision as their normal self, as well as possessing their innate analytic and visual abilities. While under the effects of Yurei Shiryoku, the clan member can still move their body if needed, but due to the separation and unable to see, they receive a “-2” tier penalty to Coordination for any movements they make.
Weaknesses: While under the effects of Yurei Shiryoku, the Yurei Clan Member is quite vulnerable and cannot use any other jutsu except for Taijutsu. Yurei Shiryoku cannot pierce through certain techniques; anything that is immune to sensory, such as certain fuinjutsu, are immune to this jutsu as well. To change the location they’re looking at, they must pay the activation cost over again. Using this technique for extended periods of time (more than five posts consequently) can cause damage, leading to damage to the eyes represented by a -1 tier reduction to Perception and bleeding from the corners of the eyes for the duration of the thread. Like all versions of this technique, ninjas with Sensory can sense it.
Name: Yurei Shiryoku: Sakasame Ni (lit. Ghost Sight: Upside Down)
Rank: C
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: 10m
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Sensory
Classification: Clan-Exclusive: Yurei, Supplementary Technique
Requirements: Akiyurei: Stage Two
Parent Technique: Yurei Shiryoku
Hand Seals: None
Description: A variant of the base technique, Sakasame Ni takes the concept of the Yurei Shiryoku and expands on it. The Yurei projects their senses above them, essentially looking down at themselves and the area around them with a wider field of view than normal, giving them an advantageous view of the battlefield, perfect for examining the area around them. In this area of sight, they possess the same visual acuity they possess without it. Unlike the base technique, Sakesame Ni can be projected from any space around them. The Yurei can move while this Jutsu is active, with a reduction of “-” to Coordination.
Weaknesses: While under the effects of this technique, the Yurei is quite vulnerable and cannot use Jutsu, other than some Sensory techniques and Taijutsu. While the Yurei can see the area around them, they cannot use the base technique at the same time. Extended use of this technique (more than three turns in a row) results in damage to the eyes, resulting in a “-1 tier” to Perception and bleeding from the eyes for the duration of the thread. Like all version of Yurei Shiryoku, this technique can be detected by ninjas with Sensory.
Name: Yurei Shiryoku: Zettai Kankaku
Rank: A
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: 10
Range: up to 500m
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Sensory
Classification: Clan-Exclusive: Yurei
Requirements: Akayurei Zentai
Parent Technique: Yurei Shiryoku, Yurei Shiryoku: Sakasame Ni
Hand Seals: None
Description: The final ability in the Shiryoku branch of techniques, Zettai Kenkaku is the ultimate in Yurei Sensory abilities. While the base jutsu is useful, but quite limited, Zettai Kenkaku is much less limited in its application. At will, the Yurei Clan Ninja can cast not just their vision, but their entire senses across a vast range, up to 500 meters in any direction they choose. During this time, from wherever they choose to project their senses, they have full facility of the five senses, along with the visual perks they acquire during the development of the Akayurei. This allows the Yurei to not only see, but project their hearing and sensations to where they projected themselves.
Weaknesses: While under the effects of this Jutsu, the Yurei is completely vulnerable. Because of the complete sensory transmission, the Yurei are incapable of moving their body at all and are completely at the whims of their allies to protect them. Extended use (more than 3 uses in a row) can cause severe bleeding from the eyes and ears, as well as sensory damage, represented as a tier and “--” reduction in Perception. Like all Yurei Shiryoku techniques, Chakra Sensory techniques will be able to view this jutsu as “External”.
- Akai Hekikai:
- Name: Akai Hekikai lit. Red Cleave
Rank: C
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 5
Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: Touch
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Akayurei
Classification: Clan-Exclusive, Supplementary
Requirements: Akayurei Stage 2
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Dragon -> Clap Hands
Description: A technique most used against other Kekkai Genkai, and particularly against other Dojutsu. The Akayurei’s unique visual abilities can be inverted. Any living thing the Yurei clan member can touch becomes subject to this Technique. After doing the necessary handsigns and touching the individual the clan member wishes to use this Jutsu on, the chosen individual becomes infused with the Yurei chakra. What this does is simple; it renders the individual immune to most other visual effects, particularly those of other Dojutsu. The chosen individual cannot be detected by equal or lower-rank Sensory or visual Dojutsu, nor can they be placed underneath any Genjutsu that require visual triggers. Higher rank techniques can still be blocked, by paying the equivalent cost of the technique (for visual Dojutsu, this is the rank of the Ninja in question.) This cost is applied every time the Ninja in question attempts to use the technique or Dojutsu against the individual affected by Akai Hekikai. This technique can be used on the Yurei clan member themselves.
Weaknesses: Other than the initial cost, the Yurei clan member must remain within 3m of the target in question for this technique to remain. Any technique higher than C-rank the Yurei must pay; this is an automatic process. Due to this, the Yurei can easily be drained of Chakra, during which, of course, the technique ends. While anyone is under the effects of Akai Hekikai, the clan member cannot use any other Akayurei technique save for the basic Yurei Shiryoku.
- Chakura Yurei:
- Name: Chakura Yurei lit. Chakra Ghost
Rank: B
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost: 5
Range: 100m (AoE)
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Genjutsu
Classification: Clan-Specific: Yurei, Genjutsu, Illusory
Requirements: Genjutsu Skill, Akayurei: Stage 2
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The Genjutsu that made the Yurei clan feared and infamour. Chakura Yurei possesses the capacity to fool even the most powerful Sensory and visual techniques in the world. By using their unique chakra, the Yurei clan member can cast an illusion over an area centered on themselves, creating a large number of illusory clones. These clones are exact duplicates of their caster, save for being semi-transparent. Unlike normal Genjutsu clones, these are so lifelike to even possess their own chakra system, making the real one impossible to determine through these means. When struck, the illusion appears to take damage, before reappearing elsewhere again. When used with other illusory techniques, such as the Hiding in Mist Technique, the usefulness of this ability only increases.
Weaknesses: Without any other techniques to boost stealth or decrease visibility, the illusions are easily seen through, due to their see-through quality. This Genjutsu affects allies and enemies alike. This technique cannot be used on allies, and as a result only the ninja who cast it can benefit from the illusory clones.
