Surname: Gentou
Traits: Known for their rough raven tresses, their is no set hair style among the Gentou. With that said, many members, both male and female, keep their hair cropped short to keep it from hindering them in battle. While the clan is known for their raven hair, it is very common to see the elderly of the clan with hair as white as the snow they are able to create. While their bodies are devoid of any hair, Gentou men are able to grow beards quite easily, though they are usually only seen on retired clan members. Though it is rarely seen in those with dark hair, members of the Gentou clan have eyes that are different hues of blue.

Unlike the rest of Kirigakure's inhabitants, the Gentou clan does not have a pale complexion. Instead, their skin has a blue-ish purple tent, as if each member of the clan had hypothermia. This trait, coupled with the fact that their bodies are naturally cold to the touch are representations of their control over Hyouton. Gentou are known to have Mesmorph body types, meaning that their bodies are naturally muscular, though this does not mean they are stronger than usual. While they do build muscle easier than most, many of the clan forego strength in favor of speed, as they are primarily Ninjutsu users, though they are also trained in physical combat.

As the clan determines one's rank among its members by merits won in battle, the Gentou use tattoos to show the merits they have won. The more tattoos a clan member has, the more merits they have won, while a clan member with no tattoos is shown to have won no merits. There are no set tattoos within the clan, though it is required that the tattoo represent the merit that they have won. For example; killing a rogue shinobi is often represented as a skull, or other bone. Gentou Genin are unable to have any tattoos at start up.

History:

Legend states that in order to gain mastery over the element of ice, the first Gentou sold his soul to an Oni demon. With his new power he devastated battlefields, killing all who opposed him with not only his control over ice, but with his physical prowess as well. It was through his feats on the battlefield that many begin to call him a demon, for he seemed untouchable. However, this is a mere legend that the clan has passed through the village over the ages to spread their infamy, not only in the village they call home, but in all the lands.

In truth the Gentou clan began with a girl named Amaya. The daughter of a samurai of the Frost country Amaya was expected to be "the perfect wife" for the man her parents had arranged for her to marry, and as such she was trained in everything her family thought a wife should know from an early age. However, as she grew up, Amaya became more interested in the Kenjutsu style her father not only practiced, but taught within their village. Having watched him train many times, she began to train herself in secret whenever she could get time to herself.

After years of practice, Amaya was able to hold her own against most any man, but it was not until the night her husband nearly beat her to death that she discovered her Kekkei Genkai. The man was outraged when he caught her practicing her Kenjutsu within thew woods behind their house, and as he beat her she prayed to her gods for help, and as she screamed out in pain, huge spikes of ice erupted from the ground around her, impaling her husband. Scared out of her mind, Amaya gather only that which she could carry without any real hindrance, and fled into the woods.

Resolving to leave Frost country and never look back, she made her way to the one place she knew no one would dare follow; The Narrow. She knew enough of the land to know that if she could make it through the narrow, she would be able to escape into the land of lightning. During her journey through the mountain pass, the cold finally got to her, and she collapsed into the snow, believing she would surely die there. When she awoke within a cave she very nearly screamed with shock, for not only was there a pack of wolves surrounding her, but laying across her as well. It was then that she slowly began to realize how she had survived; the wolves had saved her by using their fur and body heat to keep her warm.

She had no explanation as to why the wolves had saved her, but the longer she spent with them, the less she cared. At first the wolves would not allow her to leave the cave they lived in, but after weeks of living with them, eating only the scraps of meat they brought her from their kills, they let her leave, though at least two wolves stayed with her at all times. As she began exploring the land around her new home she realized why the wolves had kept her in the cave; it was the worst possible time of year for her to be in the narrow. The longer she lived with the wolves the more they came to trust each other, until she began to learn to hunt with them. She fashioned weapons out of whatever she could find, and learned to track as flawlessly as the wolves she had come to call her family.

During the three years she spent living with the wolves she learned to control the power that had saved her life that fateful night. With her mastery over the Hyouton element, Amaya thrived within the Narrow in ways no person ever had. It was because of this power that the wolves deemed her fit to lead the pack, and lead the pack she did, until the prey they hunted for food migrated out of their home. In an effort to follow their prey, Amaya and her family of wolves left the narrow for good, tracking their main source of food through the hot springs country, and ever the fire country.

During her travels, Amaya began interacting with humans more and more, and was astonished that she had almost forgotten how to communicate with them. Whenever she spoke it was more of a guttural language, that sounded more like snarls and growls than actual words. However, the more she reintegrated into society, the easier it became for her to appear as a "normal" traveler, for her pack never followed her into the villages she visited. It was not until she decided to travel to the water country that she parted ways with her new family for good. She had wanted to take them with her, but the wolves had refused to get on the boat, and so the next chapter of her life began.

Finally arriving in the water country, Amaya was astounded to find that there were ninja controlling the country. Not only that, but when they found out about her mastery over ice they brought her into their fold, and taught her to use her powers in ways she never thought possible. While she was able to refine her control over the Hyouton element, the ways she learned to hunt, and fight, from the wolves never left her. She was fierce in battle, and the loyalty of her pack had transitioned to the village she now considered her family. Amaya felt like the village of Kirigakure was her new pack because, like the wolves, the village had taken her in as one of their own, and taught her everything she needed to know to not only survive in their world, but to dominate it.

As she rose to fame in the village, she picked her mate out of dozens of warriors she deemed worthy, and settled down just long enough to raise three children. Once she deemed them old enough, she trained them in all of the ways she had learned to fight, including that which she learned from the wolves. The children, two girls and a boy, had been gifted, like their mother, with the power to control Hyouton. And through the decades the traditions the Amaya had set forth evolved into a culture that has led to the Gentou being known as one of the most ruthless clans in the world.

Does the clan expect members to become shinobi

No matter their views on the matter, each member of the Asajimo clan is trained first by their elder clan members, and then are sent into Kirigakure's ninja academy. War, and battle, is everything within the Asajimo clan, so the thought of one of their members not being a ninja never crosses their minds. Though some would call it indoctrinating their children, the Asajimo raise their children to believe that nothing matters more than prowess in battle.

Is the clan fiercely loyal to it's village, casually affiliated with it, or unhappy with it?

The Asajimo treat the Mizukage as a knight would his king; they are soldiers to use at his/her discretion. Willing to give up everything for the village, members of the Asajimo clan are always prepared to die in service to their clan and village. The only jobs the clan has ever refused to take are ones that have involved the killing of innocent clan members. With that said, they hunt each and every rogue from their clan with extreme prejudice.

Is there a moral code the clan teaches to the children.

The moral code of the infamous Asajimo clan consists of two traits each member posses; Loyalty and strength. Asajimo pride themselves on the loyalty of their clan members, to such a degree that when a member of their clan leaves the village as a rogue, they send groups of at least ten clan members to hunt the rogue. The second trait that clan values the most if Strength. This does not mean that they only value clan members' strength in their element, but every aspect of battle.

How big is the clan?

The Asajimo clan is a moderately large clan.

Are they centralized, as in they live in a compound. Or just a few small families that do their thing?

Members of the Asajimo all live in a centralized compound that is based around one building; their training facility. No member of the Asajimo clan ever walks for more than ten minutes to get to the facility, as they each live in townhouse like buildings. The facility itself is stocked with anything, and everything that the clan may need to train. This varies from training posts and dummies, to practice weapons, and even obstacle courses.

How does the clan treat elderly?

In a clan of pro-war individuals, elderly are treated with such respect that an outsider might think them a god. The Asajimo believe that any elder within the clan is to be treated as a king, or queen, for their merits in battle are unmatched. There are no other people within the clan, or outside of it, who are treated with the same respect as their elderly, not even the clan leader, or the Mizukage.

How does the clan treat deceased?

The bodies of those who have died in the line of duty are frozen completely, and shattered to symbolize the fragility of life and the ice that they hold power over. Those who betray the clan and the village are burned to ash, this symbolizes that they are not a true member of the clan, and clan belief holds that they will never be reborn if turned to ash instead of ice.

Where/Who did the clans ability originate from?

The ability to create, and manipulate, ice has been traced back to a single person, and girl by the name of Hitomi. Though her original surname is lost to history, it is believed that the village gave her the name Asajimo, because of her control over ice. It is said that Hitomi fled from her father's home once he had found out about her abilities, though why she fled is unknown. In order to put as much distance as she could between herself and her father, Hitomi took the shortest, and most dangerous, path through Frost country that she knew. She believed that her ability to control ice would make the journey easier for her than any other, but some time on her journey through the mountain pass she lost consciousness.

When she awoke, Hitomi was startled to find that she had been rescued by a pack of wolves. These wolves brought Hitomi meat from their kills, that she cooked on camp fires while she melted snow for drinking water. When she was confident in her ability to finish her journey, the wolves joined her as if they were her personal protectors. The wolves guided her to what would become Kirigakure, and have been treated with respect ever since. It is against clan law to ever harm a wolf, no matter the reason.

How does the clan feel about war/etc.

The Asajimo are bred for war. From the time they can walk they are trained to fight, and from the moment they learn to speak they are taught art of war.

Is the clan heavily involved with politics, or more to itself

The Asajimo prefer to deal only with their clan, but understand that they must have a place within village politics, and as such has at least three people at any given time who do nothing other than handle the clan's politics within the village.

What do they do to people who betray the clan.

No matter their reason for betraying the clan and the village, any Asajimo who goes rogue is hunted with extreme prejudice. No matter the rank of the rogue Asajimo, unless the village council/Mizukage says otherwise, the mission is always hunt to kill.

Do they do anything to indoctrinate children/control clan members to some extent?

The Asajimo are indoctrinated to believe that, while they are not a pawn, they are simply a soldier who always has a chance to rise within the ranks of Kirigakure's military.

Why is the clan with it's village

From the time of the clan's creator, to it's present day, Kirigakure has given a home to, trained, and protected the Asajimo, and they feel that they must serve their "king" until the day they die.

What steps does the clan take to protect it's secrets?

No matter their reason for betraying the clan and the village, any Asajimo who goes rogue is hunted with extreme prejudice. No matter the rank of the rogue Asajimo, unless the village council/Mizukage says otherwise, the mission is always hunt to kill.

Is there any important symbolism associated with the clan?

The bodies of those who have died in the line of duty are frozen completely, and shattered to symbolize the fragility of life and the ice that they hold power over. Those who betray the clan and the village are burned to ash, this symbolizes that they are not a true member of the clan, and clan belief holds that they will never be reborn if turned to ash instead of ice.

Does the clan have it's own religion?

To say that the Asajimo do not have a religion would be incorrect. The Asajimo "worship" war, to the extent that a member's rank within the clan is not their rank within the village. The Asajimo rank their members by their merits in battle; the skill in leadership, tactics, and combat. However, those with the highest ranks within the clan are those who have shown the most prowess in battle, meaning those who have killed the most people. As such, in order to become the clan leader, one must not only match the current clan member's clan ranking, but must also best the current clan leader in a fight to the death.

The Aisu clan values skill in battle above all else, it is the foundation of how they establish hierarchy within the clan. Each victorious mark they earn in combat comes with a corresponding tattoo. It isn't surprising then that those littered with various tattoo's are considered the elite in the clan and often enough can handle almost any situation thrown at them. It is through proving themselves in battle that the clan leader, and clan council are determined. While anyone can obtain the status of clan leader, or join the council, by trial of battle, those that are challenged this way have the right to refuse based on the the feats they have accomplished as shown by their tattoos. Because they value skill in battle over everything else, the elderly are often treated like royalty within the clan. The Aisu believe that those who live long enough for their hair to grow snow white are gods among men, for their prowess in battle is unmatched.

However, it is not only through battle that these commendations are won. While the Aisu are a clan of warriors, there is more to war than simply combat. A great mind, and the ability to control the battle field are valued even more than prowess in battle, for those who control the battlefield control the battle. The Aisu treat tacticians unlike any other in the clan. While they often have fewer tattoos than the warriors of their clan, their tattoos are much more respected. Many times, the clan council is made up almost entirely of tacticians, while the clan leader is the greatest warrior within the clan.

As they are a clan of warriors, those that betray the clan are treated pariahs. It is believed, among the Aisu, that those of the clan clan that go rogue are no longer apart of the clan. As such they are treated as people who have stolen their Kekkei Genkai, and are hunted with extreme prejudice. Often times the clan will request that they be the only ones to hunt the fugitives from their clan in order to protect clan secrets, and while this request is not always granted, their elite team of hunters is always on standby. Once the rogue has been eliminated, the body is burned to ash. This burning of the body represents that the rogue is no longer apart of the clan, and that by burning their bodies, they will never be reborn into the clan.

While the rogues from the clan are burned to ash, those that die with honor are frozen solid, and then their bodies are shattered. This tradition is used to symbolize the fragility of not only life itself, but the fragility of their unique element as well. In order for the ceremony to be performed properly, the clan council must gather around the body, and use the same jutsu in unison to achieve the goal of freezing the body entirely. Once the council has finished with their task, the clan leader will give a speech about the clan member's life to the entire clan, before the shattering the body with a massive hammer known as Gyokusai, or, Honorable Death.

In the dead center of the clan's compound is a pillar of ice that never melts. While only a select group of the clan know the true purpose of the pillar, the majority of the clan believe that it is a show of the clan;s power. In actuality the pillar of ice hold's the Aisu clan's secrets. Everything about the clan is inscribed on a scroll that is hidden in the very center of the pillar of ice. This pillar has a six foot radius and is twenty feet tall. Should anyone outside of the clan touch the pillar, their skin will begin to freeze, until they are no longer touching it, or until they are completely frozen.

While they do not have a true religion, the Aisu clan do have their own set of beliefs. Among their varying beliefs, is the legend of the original clan leader Hitomi. It is said that, on her journey through Frost country to Kirigakure, she approached the brink of death, only to be saved by a pack of wolves. These wolves nursed the girl back to health, and followed her on the rest of her journey to Kirigakure, protecting her from the dangers of her travel. Legend has it that the bond between the wolves and Hitomi was so strong that on the day of her passing, each wolf died the moment she took her last breath. It is because of this legend that the clan has outlawed any member from ever harming a wolf, no matter the reason, and to do so means immediate death.

Some might call what the Aisu teach their children brainwashing, but they see it as nothing more than preparing their children for battle. The training of Aisu children begin on their third birthday, and persists until they join Kirigakure's ninja academy. From the very beginning they are taught to kill their enemy without mercy, as well as how to take control of the battlefield using not brawn, but brains. It is because of this training that each Aisu child spends four days out of their week in school learning about everything from the science of Iijutsu, to clan history, village history, war tactics, and even about the human anatomy. By the time the children of this clan enter the ninja academy they are often on a completely different level than the others in their class, simply because of their extensive training.
