Clan: Ryujin Clan
Clan Traits:
The Ryujin are a fierce clan that believes that combat is the root of truth. They used to be a very high standing noble clan though recent inner struggle and assassinations have weaken their unity. Their basic fight style mimics those of large felines and dragons and many members take on a style of dress and weapons that mimic this. They prefer straight on confrontation and dislike many forms of subterfuge even though they are highly trained in assassination techniques. The Ryujin can be very violent if provoked because they have a harsh temper. For the Ryujin strength is a way of life and weakness should be conquered. Injuries and sometimes death is the result of the training style the Ryujin follow. One could say that they follow the mantra of "What does not kill you only makes you stronger".
Clan Techniques:
- Animal Forms of Martial Arts (Specifically Tiger/Cat Style and Dragon Style)
- Blood Eyes: From a very young age members of the Ryujin clan study the human body in order to gain an understanding of how it works and where its weakness are. As such they have developed a technique that focuses on the nerve centers, pressure points, and joints of the body. Young Ryujin ninjas are put through strict training on locating their opponents weak points and using those to disable them. This includes many strikes directed at pressure points that immediately cause pain and paralysis that can sometimes be permanent, they are also taught how to cause massive bleeding with simple seemingly irrelevant strikes to joints of blood vessels. Mastery of this skill allows the user to unconsciously target weak areas of the body making their opponents believe that they have eyes that can see through the skin and to the blood and nerves below. When combined with any weapons technique especially acupuncture like needles it can be devastating, though it takes many years of singular training and concentration to be considered a master of this skill though all young Ryujin ninjas have a basic understanding.
