Kokuyouseki The Kokuyouseki are a nomadic clan of craftsmen that roam the mountain ranges north and northwest of the Fire country. They don't claim to any one village or country, preferring to keep to their ways of migration by moving between seasonal homes; they live in massive caverns that they carve into the mountainsides, but never stay in one of them for too long. On occasion one of its younger members will leave to make his or her mark on the world. The entirety of their clan is focused on crafting, taking great pride in their works of metallurgy. They craft not only armor and weapons of great caliber, but fine jewelry made from minerals and gems they come across during their excavations. All of the Kokuyouseki look on their metallurgy with reverence and spirituality, seeing a soul in every single piece of metal they craft. Some even go so far as to see themselves kindred spirits with earth and metal. Origins There is little written history recorded on the Kokuyouseki clan. All their history and techniques are passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth alone. Thanks to this their elders are highly revered and cared for long into their old age. Most of their spoken origins are steeped in folk-lore. Several of the clan's elders will tout that their ancestors were born in rock and fire centuries ago, giving rise to the first of their lineage and making them sturdier than the average mortal man. Being of a solitary nature they have no recorded history of wars, except for the few squabbles among roaming groups and legends of their best and brightest members. Clan Highlights
Subterranean Sensory-this clan's affinity with earth is so great that as long as a member of their clan has his or her feet on the ground (not while jumping, leaping, or in flight) they can sense disturbances and pockets of valuable minerals under the earth. This helps them accrue the best materials for their creations. They -cannot- sense chakra signatures this way. Doton and Fire Affinity- legends say the clan was born in earth and fire, and their affinities with both stay the same to this day. Each of its members has doton and fire for their chakra natures. There are no exceptions. Thanks to their ability to sense different minerals under the ground, they can also amplify their doton abilities (to a certain extent). Potential Magma/Lava Release- the creation and control of lava is a closely and jealously guarded secret of the Kokuyouseki clan. They will never divulge it to outsiders, and rarely share it even among their own kind. Though all of its members have the potential to wield it, it must be taught and passed down by a revered elder. Within the clan its use is for the maintaining of special forges, and almost -never- used offensively. Superior Craftsmanship- thanks to years and years of refining their art, members of the clan pass on techniques of smelting and crafting to others of their shared lineage. Their ability to sense in the earth helps with this, too. Edited by Tyr's Hand, Apr 27 2014, 03:58 PM.

Am willing to compromise also on some of the clan's core qualities. |
