Clan History/Description
Rather than being a clan in any sort of biological sense, the Arts and Theatre Guild is closer to a secret society, filled with like minded members who unite based on the principals of furthering the artistic progression of mankind beyond anything else. The exact date at which the Guild formed is unknown, but is speculated to have originated before even the arrival of the Sage of Six Paths. Little actual information about the Guild is publicly known, however various famous artists throughout history have at times been claimed or thought to have been members. The activities, events, inner functioning, and even membership of the Guild are hidden, and the true existence of the Guild is generally concealed from all but those who would dig deep enough down into the world of fine arts. Despite this focus on secrecy the Guild generally has little interest in direct interaction in political or military life, and instead keep their activities mostly limited to influencing culture. Bardic colleges, monuments, theatres, and other places of high culture are often subvertly funded by the Guild, both for the purpose of furthering the cultural heritage of the world and also to further mine for potential members. Potential members are only considered from those who show intense artistic talent and devote themselves to it beyond all else. When those of sufficient talent are discovered, the Guild generally communicates to them through dreams or vivid hallucinations, through which they’ll be given directions on how to obtain membership. The directions given are different for each individual, but generally involves the creation of a grand artifact, one that is the ultimate expression of the individual's desires, fears, memories, and hopes in art-form. After this artifact is completed, or the artist dies trying, the work will be judged, and then the decision will come on whether the artist will be allowed to join or killed.
Bloodline Description & Abilities
Not necessarily a clan of great inherent potential, members of the Guild generally rely on hiden techniques rather than anything inherently genetic due to their diverse and unrelated backgrounds. Though, those who are primarily of the Guild and have been raised in its care will receive a one-tier reduction in chakra cost to any art based techniques.
- Super Beast Imitating Drawing:
- Name: Super Beast Imitating Drawing
Rank: B
Power: E-S
Activation Cost: E-S
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 1 Kilometer
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Guild Secret
Requirements: Ink/Paint, Brush, Scroll
Hand Seals: Seal of Confrontation
Description: The Super Beast Imitating Drawing is a technique that allows the user to animate ink drawings, which act upon the user's will. Using chakra-infused ink, the user can quickly and expertly draw objects onto their scroll. The moment the brush is removed from the scroll, the images leap from the paper, grow to life-size, and act according to the user's will.
Any animal from the pet shop may be created with this technique, costing an equivalent amount of chakra for the initial cost as the pet’s rank. As creatures made in this way are under the control of the user, they have no Intelligence rank or Stamina rank. Special abilities that a pet would have may be used just as the pet would. Similar to clones these creations have no upkeep cost, and remain until dispelled, destroyed, or the user leaves the thread. These creations may be cosmetically different than what their equivalent pet would be. For example, the war dog pet may be used for the technique but painted to appear as a hyena, or tiger, as long as the general body shape is the same. Custom pets, or pets from the Secret Shop may also be used. If the user of this technique witnesses a summoned creature they may also make a painting of it and animate it in the same way they would a pet. Animals from the Pet Store with a rank of N/A, Summons, Pets from the Secret Shops, and custom animals must be registered as separate independent jutsu.
For discreet communiques while undercover, the user is able to turn the words they write into small animals, allowing them to travel unnoticed to the intended target, after which the ink animal requires a scroll to revert back into written information. In addition to the animals it is normally used to create, the user can produce explosive tags through spending a D-Rank amount of chakra, but doing so requires the Fuuinjutsu skill.
Weaknesses: The use of this technique requires a significant amount of preparation, including bringing the supplies required into combat and then finding the time to paint the creatures they wish to animate, which can be time consuming depending on the user's coordination.

Range: 1 Kilometer
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Guild Secret
Requirements:Super Beast Imitating Drawing

Description: The Super God Imitating Drawing is an improved version of Super Beast Imitating Drawing. Rather than drawing animals, the user draws two muscular humanoids that will physically attack the enemy with their great strength. These two humanoids can range in size from anywhere between the size of average humans to roughly twenty meters tall. These two humanoids have the following stats:
Strength: S
Constitution: A
Speed: B
Coordination: B
Stamina: N/A
Perception: C
Intelligence: N/A
Weaknesses: The use of this technique requires a significant amount of preparation, including bringing the supplies required into combat and then finding the time to paint the creatures they wish to animate, which can be time consuming depending on the user's coordination.
- Sealing Technique:
Name: Sealing Technique: Tiger Vision Staring Bullet
Rank: S-Rank
Power: S-Rank
Activation Cost: 30
Upkeep Cost: 20
Range: 100 Meters
Speed: S-Rank
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu | Fuuinjutsu
Classification: Guild Secret
Requirements: Super Beast Imitating Drawing
Hand Seals: Seal of Confrontation
Description: After the user draws a gigantic tiger, the illustration extends from the scroll and while still connected, captures its prey with its teeth and claws, before dragging the victim back into the scroll and pinning them down within the confines of the drawing. Due to the enormity of the illustration, the user requires an extended period of time equal to two posts to complete the image, during which they need protection as their attention is devoted to drawing. While the target is captured in the scroll they are struck in a state of suspended animation, behaving as if no time has passed between the point they were captured and the point they get released. The target of this technique may be released through any method that would result in removing a typical fuuinjutsu seal, but destroying the scroll itself will also release them. The gigantic tiger used as a part of this technique has a Strength of S-Rank.
Weaknesses: The use of this technique requires a significant amount of preparation, including bringing the supplies required into combat and then finding the time to paint the creatures they wish to animate, which can be time consuming depending on the user's coordination.

Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 1 Kilometer
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Guild Secret
Requirements: Super Beast Imitating Drawing
Hand Seals: Seal of Confrontation
Description: By directly pouring out their ink onto any solid or liquid surface instead of using it to draw, the user of this technique can create a large amount of smaller, weaker creatures to attack a target. This functions similarly to Super Beast Imitating Drawing, with the exception being that only pets of D-Rank or below may be created. To compensate for the individual weakness of the creature though, up to fifty can be created with a single use of this technique.
Weaknesses: Despite creating a massive amount, all these creatures are individually weak. As a result this technique is best used to swarm foes with massive waves of small animals such as rats or snakes. All creatures created by this technique take a -2 hit to all stats with a cap at E-Tier.
- Ink Clone Technique:
Name: Ink Clone Technique
Rank: C-Rank
Power: C-Rank
Activation Cost: N/A
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: N/A
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Guild Secret
Requirements: Ink
Hand Seals: Tiger
Description: The Ink Clone is nearly identical to the Water Clone Technique, with the exception of using ink instead of water as the medium. One or more clones may be created, each having one-tenth of the user's chakra. The clones may be used as a medium to perform ink related techniques, such as most fuuinjutsu. When these clones are struck with a sufficient amount of force they will revert to their ink form. The clones can be created anywhere within a 25 m. range of the user as long as it is produced from a source of ink, unlike the Shadow Clone technique which requires clones to be created next to the user.
Weaknesses: When casting this technique the user's stamina must be above 30% in order to maintain control over his/her clones. In addition, the user must maintain general concentration to maintain their clone's presence. If at any time the user is inflicted with heavy damage in contrast with their Constitution all clones will be dispersed. The user must be within 25 m. of their clone.
