Clan Name: Hirotori
Clan Traits:
In order to open their minds and release hidden abilities many members of the clan practice harsh almost cruel training with a focus on gaining incredible speed to their movements. The members of the Hirotori clan practice dissociation and meditation and rarely engage in normal family pastimes such as celebrating birthdays or holidays in order to make themselves into stable self-sustained shinobi. In fact the Hirotori's are less like a clan and more like a Shinobi Academy. They often take in orphans to train up into shinobi. They are ninja's in the most traditional sense and have no problem with killing from behind unannounced.
Clan Techniques:
- Shadow Dance: It is said that the members of the Hirotori clan have the ability to disappear into the night this is often called The Shadow Dance, and it is the ability to Move within Shadows to another Shadowed Location. This is a special clan ability and as such no one knows the secret of this magic like maneuver except for clan members. It requires the shadows to be rather dark in nature and the user to be rather detached and cold in personality. The less mastery one has of the ability the darker the shadows must be to allow movement between them and the smaller the distance one can travel. This is used as both a stealth and an assassination technique.
- Shadow Hand: The Shadow Hand is a Martial Art developed by the Hirotori Clan. It is characterized by flowing movements that often lead from one move directly into another much like Shoulin Kungfu. It is very smooth and can be applied to weapons as well as hand to hand combat. Because of its smooth and flowing movement many Hirotori's use duel or twin weapons. It is said some members of the clan can manipulate the air or water around them but this requires excellent mental control and a mastery of the form.
