Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clan Name: Hoshigaki (干柿, Dried Persimmon)
Village: Kirigakure
Element affinity: Water
Description of clan: Anthropomorphic shark people of extremely violent nature. A warrior race native to Kiri and having sworn allegiance to the Mizukage in exchange for insurance they will always have a place on the battlefield.
Physical appearance: The Hoshigaki have thick shark skin in tones that range from white to blue, but usually in shades of grey. They have small shark eyes under which are three small gills in triangular patterns. They also have three large gills on their shoulders. They are usually much taller and muscular than regular humans. Their teeth are extremely sharp and they have two rows of them, old or broken teeth are therefore replaced if any are lost.

The Hoshigaki are a battle oriented clan of extreme violence. To them, hunting is a sport and killing a pleasure. They do not have a very complex social structure. The patriarchs lead the clan and decide of its general orientation. The priests take care and protect the shrine where Samehada is kept. The rest are warriors.

When Hoshigaki come of age, the clan decides whether they will become shinobi or be eliminated. This decision can be postponed if they are still unsure about certain individuals (mostly if members of their family are influential enough) but the weak are systematically discarded, exiled, or killed. This selection serves a double function of maintaining a powerful genetic pool for the clan and keeping the clan's image of only generating strong and powerful warriors.

Even though the clan will almost systematically ally themselves with the current dominant faction, recognizing its strength, they do not tend to mingle with members of other clans unless absolutely necessary. Normally, once Hoshigaki become full shinobi, they return to their clan and take orders only from the patriarchs, who themselves receive the orders from the leading faction of Kirigakure. There are exceptions to this however as Hoshigaki will sometimes remain under direct orders from the Mizukage or special faction if they are part of specific cells.

At home, the dynamic is as most would expect, step out of line even a little and you will get the snot beaten out of you. The Hoshigaki regard parenting as a duty to the clan and is only aimed at develloping warriors from the youngest age possible. Affection is kept to a bare minimum, and parental displays of affection are nearly never seen at home, and absolutely never in public.

Note: Suiton techniques performed without a water source cost 25% more chakra unless stated otherwise. {Round up} Therefore if a technique costs 100 Cp, without a water source it would cost 125 Cp.

Suiton: Amesuikōha (Water Release: Rain Water Shark Wave)

The user slams his or her palm onto a nearby water surface, sending a large surge of water into the air. This water then forms into a number of water sharks, which then rush towards the target from above. As they progress, they reform into countless droplet-sized sharks, which continue to rain down upon the target and inflict damage whenever they come into contact with them. This technique, at first, appears to be one that can be dodged fairly simply since only a few sharks are heading for the target. However, it gradually divides into countless miniature sharks that spread to cover a fairly large area, making it, to all accounts, impossible dodge if the target didn't realize what was going on fast enough to run away.

Samehada (Shark Skin)

Type: Legacy (Seven Swordsmen of the Mist)
History: A living blade, considered by many to be the most dangerous of all the swords of the Seven Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist. It has been stolen and returned to Kirigakure frequently over the course of history, mostly due to its incredible raw power and its tendancy to switch hosts, sometimes even in the midst of battle, if it finds a new wielder more compatible.
Description: Samehada is a large living sword comparable in size to the Kubikiribōchō. It is described as "the most terrifying of all the Seven Swordsmen's blades". Its actual blade is covered in scales, which causes it to inflict shredding or shaving damage rather than cutting what it comes into contact with. The effect is similar to a shark's skin, hence its name. While it ordinarily remains rigid, Samehada is able to stretch and bend to a great extent, allowing it to be used like a flail. Samehada is unique for being a sentient weapon that gains nourishment from the chakra of others. The blade is happiest when engorged with chakra. Although it constantly feeds off of the chakra of its owner, its largest "meals" come from fights wherein it absorbs the chakra of its owner's opponents. Such an ability allows Samehada to literally slice through an opponent's technique and even prevent techniques from being performed by absorbing all of the opponent's chakra. With every bit of chakra the weapon drains, it grows larger and more active, increasing its effectiveness in combat.
Cp: No known limit.
Damage: (10 - 20) + 1.5x str mod
Range: Melee + 5 to 15 feet, depending on the blade's chakra level.
Requirements: Strength 30, Chakra 50.
Acquisition: Plot specific.
Special: Allows use of Samehada specific abilities.
Dual Wield: No.
Owner: Seven Swordsman of the Hidden Mist.



Chakra Hokuka (Chakra Eater)

Samehada has an insatiable hunger for chakra. It's physiognomy is specifically made to drain the chakra of any living being it comes into contact with and store it inside its own reserves in order to feed itself and fuel its abilities. It is therefore always grateful to face enemies with large chakra quantites that can grant it plentiful meals.
Cp Cost: n/a
Dice Rolls: n/a
Special:
*Every time the blade causes damage, damage dealt is also caused as chakra damage for a maximum of 5% of the victim's total chakra pool.
*If an attack with Samehada was blocked, chakra damage occurs as though it had struck the blocker but at 50% efficiency.
*Double chakra drain for critical hits.
*All chakra points drained through physical blows or shoukenpou jutsus are added to Samehada's chakra pool.
*If used as a conduit for chakra draining techniques from the user, increase their efficiency by 25% and reduce their chakra cost (if any) by 50% (the reduction to chakra cost is added to Samehada's reserves rather than the user's).

Special: Add [Samehada Cp / 20] to base attack bonus for attacks using this weapon.

Chuujitsubuki (Loyal Weapon)

If someone other than its wielder tries to wield Samehada, it will continuously stab the user's hands with sharp spikes until it is finally dropped. If separated form its wielder, it will by any means try to find its way back to him or her, using its mobility to close the distance as fast as possible. If wielded by a hostile target, it will use its strength to move out of the way of any swing aimed at a friendly target.
Damage: (5 - 10), damage dealt is also dealt as chakra damage.
Fortitude DC: 10 + str mod (victim) + 2 Per 20 hp past half hp (victim)

*If blade is not held back, it will autonomously find its way back to its primary wielder.

Shinshikujizai Nigiri (Extensible Handle)

Dice Rolls: n/a
Damage: (10 - 20) + dex mod + 0.5 x str mod
Special: Samehada can be used as a long range weapon for medium to medium-long distance attacks (about 25 meters).

Soritansen (Shredding Edge)

Samehada's blade is made of hundreds small razor sharp scales that make it much more potent at shaving than cutting. This has the downside of inflicting less initial damage, as it won't cut off limbs or pierce organs; but will leave nasty wounds that bleed significantly and heal very poorly.
Cp Cost: n/a
Dice Rolls: n/a
Special:
*Critical hits do not cause additional damage for the intital blow.

Sokonashi Youki (Bottomless Container)

Samehada has the ability to store objects inside its body for its wielder. It is unknown how exactly it does so, since even though it can be filled with numerous solid objects its movements or flexibility do not seem to be impaired by their presence. It has been theorized that it actually seals them inside its body and summons them back at its wielder's command.
Cp Cost: n/a
Dice Rolls: 1 to spit out (can be used as reaction).
Special: User can store various objects inside Samehada that can be summoned back when needed.

Kyōseikankei (Symbiotic Relationship)

This also has the effect of making the bond between the two organisms even more profound and synching their chakra signatures much more deeply than what could be accomplished with a Samhadamaku.
Cp Cost: n/a
Dice Rolls: n/a
Special:
*Double the effects from Sougokankei.
*No chakra is lost during chakra transfers between the wielder and the blade.

When Samehada and its wielder have have develloped sufficient affinity for their chakra to become nearly indistinguishable, the blade can use its unique ability to restore any damage done to its body to restore wounds inflicted to its wielder.

A-Rank

Shoukenpou: Kenjin Heigou (Living Blade Art: Human Blade Merge)

Samehada merges with its wielder, fusing the two beings' chakra systems, sharing their abilities, and increasing their overall physical abilities. The resulting creatures greatly resembles a practically perfect human/shark hybrid and is particularily effective in underwater combat. Since it takes full advantage of Samehada's unqiue ability to use its accumulated chakra to increase its size and activity, this technique increases the capabilities of the user proportionally to the quantity of chakra saturating his system. As is the case when two consciousnesses merge into a single body, the user becomes incredibly resilient to genjutsu, since one of the two organisms will be able to wake the other should he or she fall prey to an illusion. Over the course of history,rumours would have it that, in the right environment, a wielder of Samehada who achieves this fusion has no weaknesses.
