Serpent Style
To control one’s attacker you must control their joints and pressure points. Thus is the philosophy of the Serpent Style, which uses a series of setup strikes to build openings in an opponent which can lead to more devastating attacks as well. By taking advantage of join manipulating strikes and pressure points on the opponent’s body, a user of this style can chip away at their opponent’s defense and create their own openings that will lead to even further punishment to the enemy. This style was derived from a very harsh Judo philosophy that originated in Denchi no Kuni. Taught and practiced by farmers as they traveled between villages for trade to help protect them from bandits, the users of this style would often find themselves against opponent’s who were stronger. It was because of this that the style evolved as it did.
Effect: Venom Charges reward the user bonuses based on the amount of charges that they currently have. If a user is ever struck by a critical hit from an opponent they immediately loose all Venom Charges they have.
0 Charges: No bonus.
1 Charge: The user gains +4% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
2 Charges: The user gains +8% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
3 Charges: The user gains +12% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
4 Charges: The user gains +16% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
5 Charges: The user gains +20% chance to Critical Strike with all Taijutsu techniques.
Additionally, the user may at any time during their Main Phase spend x Venom Charges to increase the chance of a single attack to critically strike. The amount of charges spent determines the bonus to the technique (see below). If five (5) charges are spent in this way and the user does not successfully hit any targets with the attack they regain all five spent charges.

One (1) spent Charge gives +8%, two (2) spent Charges gives +20%, three (3) spent Charges gives +50%, four (4) spent Charges gives +90%, and five (5) spent charges gives +100%.
Requirements: Otogakure Ninja or 5 post training session with a ninja who already knows this skill.
Cost: ⁿ/ₐ

What this topic is for:

This topic is to help everyone learn more about their village's available clans. It is designed to give you easy access to the already approved clans. Here you can also receive a few tips on how to choose a clan that is best for you.

What to look for in a clan:

There are many clans out there. There are also many perks to them as well as disadvantages. Try to pick something you know you would have fun role-playing. Remember, most clans have specific jutsu, skills, and sometimes items or summons, which are specific to them and no one else. Some clans even have bloodlines, which can provide and interesting twist to your character.

There are a lot of clans out there, try to steer clear of the legendary ones(Example: Uchiha or Hyuuga) until you are a well-known player, you probably won't be accepted otherwise. Also pay close attention to the clan capacity. Some clan have a certain number of possible participants, if a clan is full you will be denied entry.

Clan Role-play advantages and disadvantages:

Role-playing within a clan can be rather fun and unique depending on how many people are in the clan. When you and another player share the same clan, you become family. It would be like having a partner and someone you can role-play with regularly, simply because your characters know each other. This is helpful when looking for training, mission help, or even something to pass the time.

Sometimes role-playing in a clan can be confining. When in a clan, you must follow the clan's perspective. In other words, if the clan is affiliated with Ncia then your character should also be. If clan members usually are aggressive and cold, your character should be as well. When deciding which clan you want, be sure to read the clan history to find out this information.

Contacting the Clan head:

The clan head is usually the person who posted the clan sheet unless otherwise stated. To enter a clan you must PM the clan head for approval. If the Clan head has been inactive for a while sometimes they will hand over leader status to someone else. If the clan head has not done so, you should assume the clan is closed and pick another.
