Cellar Door Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 "The soul of the shinobi remains the same." - Uchiha Sasuke The Uchiha Clan Country of Origin: Hi No Kuni | Land Of Fire | 火の国 Village of Residence: Konohagakure No Sato | Village Hidden In The Leaves | 木ノ葉隠れの里 Clan Progenitor: • Ōtsutsuki Indra: While the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths did not directly found the Uchiha clan, the stone tablets that once resided beneath the Naka Shrine detailed how his lineage came to spawn the Uchiha clan. Such knowledge is obscure, with few understanding the connection between the Uchiha and the Sage of Six Paths, save for scholars of shinobi history. Clan Head: • Uchiha Koga: Recently appointed as the head of the Uchiha clan following an embarrassing incident in which a younger clan head shamed the clan and was replaced. Koga is a man in his mid-forties, and while he is a shinobi of some talent, he is better known for his work in the Konoha Archive Library, where he works with his sharingan to record written information and copy it over to a digital format. He is considered reserved and stoic by most, and due to his job, he is extremely knowledgeable. Clan Status: • Infamous: The history of the Uchiha is one that is steeped in tragedy and violence. In recent years the Uchiha have worked to improve their image within the village, but are happy to allow other villages to see them as terrifying enemies who steal eyeballs from each other to strengthen their own tremendous powers. In recent history, they made a name for themselves once more after a previous clan head did battle in the Sunagakure Academy. Clan Age: • Ancient: The Uchiha clan is directly descended from the very first peoples on the planet to possess chakra, making them arguably one of the oldest shinobi clans in existence. Through every major shinobi conflict, the Uchiha have played important roles, gaining them an age-old reputation as fierce warriors who possess unnatural abilities due to their kekkei genkai.

Cellar Door Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Cultural Information The venerable Uchiha clan is one that is steeped in history as well as surrounded by myth. Only a few generations ago, the Uchiha clan was forced to the brink of extinction, with only a single nuclear family emerging in the wake of the slaughter. Were it not for an extensive written history, much of the Uchiha clan's culture would have been lost. Since the massacre that reduced their numbers so greatly, the clan has made a remarkable comeback, with the clan's population now numbering in the hundreds. Clan Traits: • The Uchiha are possessed of very dominant genetics. Dark hair and eyes are exceedingly common, with deep blues, blacks and grays making up the bulk of both eye and hair colors. Their skin is usually very fair, with even mild tans being uncommon for them. Despite these very common characteristics, it is not unheard of for some Uchiha to be born with features that set them apart. Some Uchiha are known to be born with pink hair or green eyes. These features are considered good luck among the clan, and pink-haired Uchiha are often referred to as Cherry Blossoms. White hair is an ill omen for members of the Uchiha clan though, and is treated as something of a birth defect. Clan Outlook: • Though historically the Uchiha clan has had a rocky relationship with the shinobi villages, the newest generations of Uchiha have worked very hard to rebuild their reputation from that of dissidents and rogues. Many members of the family prefer to uphold the older traditions of the clan, but like any large family, others tend to be more progressive. As a whole the clan works to be a positive force within the walls of Konohagakure, and a fearsome bogeyman to those who would seek to do harm to the people of the Leaf. Clan Marriage: • It was once quite common for native members of the Uchiha clan to inter-marry, often being part of marriages arranged with distant cousins. This practice is not entirely unheard of in the modern-era, with some Uchiha families still attempting to preserve the potency of the Sharingan by ensuring that both parents of the new generation already possess the kekkei genkai. However, because this method of arranged marriage was all but impossible following the massacre of the Uchiha clan, it is far more common for Uchiha to marry for their own, personal reasons. Clan Families: • Modern Uchiha live in more private families than they once did, comprised of one to three generations of immediate family members living under a single roof. A clan leader is still appointed to attend village meetings on behalf of the clan or mete out punishments and reprimands within the clan itself, however such occurrences are rare. Elder members of the clan are held in high esteem, and are often strong sources of influence to individual families and the clan as a whole. Clan Professions: • Uchiha run the gamut of professions inside Leaf Village. Though their kekkei genkai ensures that they will always be very potent shinobi, many Uchiha still seek out lives away from combat and warfare. Some work as cooks or artisans and others enter the service industry, parlaying shinobi training to work as members of Konohagakure's infrastructure. Uchiha have returned to working for Konohagakure's police force, though they do not dominate its ranks as they once did. The Konohagakure Orphanage is another institution which has long been synonymous with the Uchiha, and is currently run by a kindly Uchiha of extremely advanced age. Clan Estates: • The ancestral lands of the Uchiha clan remain largely unchanged. However the bulk of the clan no longer resides there. The clan's holdings were donated to the village several generations ago by Uchiha Sasuke, and have since become a park and training ground for all villagers to enjoy. Many of the older fixtures of the estates remain, such as the pond with the small dock where young Uchiha practiced their fire jutsu. One, traditional-style house remains on the lands that is the home of the Uchiha Clanhead, who is responsible for the day to day upkeep of the land. Most Uchiha possess apartments or houses not far from this park, once again claiming a small section of the village as something of an Uchiha district. Clan Relationships: • The connections and rivalries between the clans of Konohagakure drive the village's politics less than they once did, but that does not stop clans from forming opinions about others as a whole. While the modern Uchiha clan has done much to repair their once-tarnished reputation, some clans have not adjusted their opinions of them, leading to strong rivalries.

Cellar Door Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 Clan Kekkei Genkai Sharingan | Copy Wheel Eye | 写輪眼 Originally thought to be a mutation of the Byakugan, the Sharingan, or Copy Wheel Eye is a dōjutsu blood inheritance that appears in some members of the Uchiha clan. It is still commonly believed to be descended from the Hyūga clan’s kekkei genkai, but certain texts hidden within the Naka Shrine in the Uchiha Estates are written with the details of the Sharingan’s evolution and its relationship to the most legendary of dojutsu, the Rinnegan. Along with the Byakugan and Rinnegan, the Sharingan makes up one third of what is collectively known as the Three Great Dōjutsu. An activated Sharingan alters the color of the wielder’s irises to a bright crimson which has been described as possessing its own luminescence, making the eyes seem to glow in the dark. Depending on the wielder’s mastery over their blood inheritance, an activated Sharingan possesses a number of slightly swirled pupils, or tomoe, which orbit the center pupil. A fully matured Sharingan has three tomoe per eye. The Second Hokage referred to the Sharingan as ‘the eye that reflects feelings’ because of the particularities in how the dojutsu manifests in the Uchiha clansmen. The Sharingan is assumed to manifest when an Uchiha’s body and psyche are under great duress, but in truth the kekkei genkai most often manifests when a person, place or thing that an Uchiha feels very strongly for is put into jeopardy. This is accomplished by a special form of chakra being released in the brain which specifically effects the optic nerve endings, mutating them on contact. It has also been called the Heaven’s Eye due to the large range of abilities that it bestows on the wielder. The first of the Sharingan’s considerable powers is its ability to see the flow of chakra. The Sharingan is able to give color to the varying types of chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate between them. This allows wielders of the dojutsu to detect the presence of Genjutsu by noting irregularities in the flows of chakra in people, and even in themselves. The eyes grant exceptional clarity in combating illusions, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. The exceptional detail at which the Sharingan processes visual information extends beyond just viewing chakra. This also allows the wielder to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movements or mimic something like pencil movements. As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the wielder, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement. However, even though the wielder may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react. The most well known ability of the Sharingan is that it grants its wielder the ability to copy almost any technique they witness. In order to reproduce a copied technique though, the wielder must possess the necessary skill to perform it. Lastly, the Sharingan is capable of inducing hypnosis in others that involves suggesting actions and thoughts. This is usually performed through eye contact. The Sharingan requires the wielder’s chakra while activated, but being a naturally occurring aspect of their body, most Uchiha who have properly adapted to the dojutsu do not experience significant drains on their chakra levels. Anyone who receives an incomplete set of Sharingan eyes, through theft or transfusion though, must spend more extreme amounts of chakra, both because a single eye is incapable of deactivating, and a non-Uchiha body is not adapted to the drain on their bodies. Restrictions: Ranks within the Sharingan do not stack, If the Sharingan is active all advanced regeneration is suspended until it is deactivated. Each rank overrides the previous except Mangekyō Sharingan, which does not override Mitsudomoe Sharingan. Activation/Upkeep: The Sharingan may be activated in the Setup Phase as a standard action and may be deactivated during any phase as a Free Action. The upkeep and activation cost of the Sharingan are paid at the end of the user's Setup Phase. IF a character is unable to pay the upkeep cost of the Sharingan, it is deactivated automatically at the end of their Setup Phase during that turn. Sharingan Keys: A character must meet any requirements of the rank of Sharingan whose key they are attempting to roll for. A GM, with staff consent, may allow a character with the Sharingan to make a Key roll without meeting its requirements. Key to Hitotsudomoe Sharingan Once per stat battle, or once per role play topic (All rolls made must reflect situations of great emotional stress, and roll may be made no more than 1 time per day [OOC & IC]. A GM may award additional rolls.), this character may roll a D100. If the roll turns up any number with a 4, 5, 6, or 7 in its digits, then they are awarded the Hitotsudomoe Sharingan. This skill cannot be used in the Practice Arena. Upon a successful roll during a stat battle, corresponding Sharingan ranks may be purchased during battle in the phase that the roll took place. Key to Futatsudomoe Sharingan Once per stat battle, or once per role play topic (All rolls made must reflect situations of great emotional stress, and roll may be made no more than 1 time per two days [OOC & IC]. A GM may award additional rolls.), this character may roll a D100. If the roll turns up any number with a 5, 6, or 7 in its digits, then they are awarded the Futatsudomoe Sharingan. This skill cannot be used in the Practice Arena. Upon a successful roll during a stat battle, corresponding Sharingan ranks may be purchased during battle in the phase that the roll took place. Key to Mitsudomoe Sharingan Once per stat battle, or once per role play topic (All rolls made must reflect situations of great emotional stress, and roll may be made no more than 1 time per three days [OOC & IC]. A GM may award additional rolls.), this character may roll a D100. If the roll turns up any number with a 6 or 7 in its digits, then they are awarded the Mitsudomoe Sharingan.

Key to Mangekyō Sharingan Once per stat battle, or once per role play topic (All rolls made must reflect situations of great emotional stress, and roll may be made no more than 1 time per four days [OOC & IC]. A GM may award additional rolls.), this character may roll a D100. If the roll turns up any number with a 7 in its digits, then they are awarded the Mangekyō Sharingan. This skill cannot be used in the Practice Arena. Upon a successful roll during a stat battle, corresponding Sharingan ranks may be purchased during battle in the phase that the roll took place. Sharingan activation/upkeep • 5% total chakra • Mangekyō Sharingan activation/upkeep • 7.5% total chakra • Hitotsudomoe Sharingan The initial state of all Sharingan, the HitotsudomoeSharingan is the first step in attaining all the powers that the Sharingan offers its possessor. With the addition of another pupil into the eyes of the wielder, they are capable of perceiving their environment with much greater clarity than before. That clarity, combined with their ability to view chakra allows the the possessor of the HitotsudomoeSharingan the abilities to predict the movements of their opponents, defend against the effects of genjutsu, and mimic the abilities of their enemies. Requirements: Dormant Sharingan; Key to Hitotsudomoe Sharingan [success] Sharingan Insight – Rank One Effect: While the Sharingan is active, a character with this skill’s Accuracy, Evasion, and Concentration statistics are increased by x, with ‘x’ being equivalent to the character’s level. The value of ‘x’ may never be less than 20. All statistical bonuses provided by this skill may not exceed 1.5x the base value of the individual statistics. Bonuses to Accuracy and Evasion are nullified when the character targets an opponent whose Speed statistic is 1.5x greater than the character’s. Description: The first ability that is attributed to the Sharingan is the heightened state of awareness that the wielder enters when activating the dōjutsu. The eyes are able to predict the movements of enemies, or photographically catalog the details of the environment with great superiority. The enhanced accuracy and evasion that is the root of many of the Sharingan's abilities becomes stronger as each new tomoe develops. In its early stages, the Sharingan's influence increases the wielder's sensory awareness greatly, but opponents with great speed are capable of besting the dōjutsu. At more mature stages, the Sharingan is capable of predicting the movements of even the fastest foe. Cost: -1 Sharingan Hypnotism – Rank One Effect: While the Sharingan is active, a character with this skill’s non-Forbidden Genjutsu techniques with the ‘Dōjutsu; Sharingan’ descriptor gain the following effect; “The target of this technique must roll a 20-sided dice. On an outcome of 1 or 2 the target may take no other actions in response to this technique. If the target of this technique is afflicted with the status effects ‘Impaired Eyesight’ or ‘Blind’ they may increase the outcome of this roll by +2 or +5 (respectively).” Additionally, characters with this skill may purchase the technique ‘Genjutsu: Sharingan’ and while the Sharingan is active, ‘Genjutsu: Sharingan’ is considered seal-less. Description: Though the many other facets of the Sharingan are greatly desired across the world, none can argue that perhaps the most potent aspect of the Sharingan is its ability to entrap a target within a Genjutsu at just a glance. Early stages of this ability manifest in incomplete ways, no more or less potent than comparable genjutsu- but later evolutions tap into the eye's ability to completely enrapture a target within the Sharingan wielder's mental whims. Cost: -1 Sharingan Copy – Rank One Effect: If the Sharingan is active during the Response Phase, a character with this skill may pay .8x Chakra, where 'x' is the cost of any technique used after this character's previous turn. The character must roll a 10-sided dice, and on an outcome of 1 - 5, the technique may be added to the character’s list of known techniques. Techniques added in this way have no Jutsu Point cost. Techniques of a certain Element, Archetype, or Style may be used without the necessary skill, but the Sharingan must be active to utilize techniques which require skills that the character does not possess. Techniques with bloodline or clan skill requirements that the character does not possess, or techniques that the character could not purchase for their standard Jutsu Point cost may not be copied. This skill may be activated 1 time per battle, or 1 time per role-play topic. Activating this skill is a free action. Description: The power to record and store the details of any technique witnessed is a feat that has long made the Sharingan one of the most coveted kekkei genkai in existence. By simply having their bloodline active, wielders of the Sharingan are able to see the most minute details in the muscles of their foes, identify handseals in mid-combat, and even see the exact patterns of the enemy's chakra. These abilities make Sharingan-wielders impressive copy cats. In it's formative stages, the act of copying a technique is more strenuous on the body, and can produce hit or miss replications, but as the bloodline matures and the wielder becomes more practiced, the ability becomes almost fool-proof. Cost: -1 Sharingan Reflection – Rank One Effect: When a character with this skill successfully utilizes Sharingan Copy against a technique, the unresolved technique has a 10% chance of being negated. This is a triggered effect and may only activate 1 time per battle. The character consumes their Set-Up and Main Phases on a turn in which this skill activates. The activation of this skill is a free action. Description: So fast are the reaction times of those who wield the Sharingan, that the brain is capable of quickly responding to incoming threats, and exactly duplicating the attacks of their enemies. In doing so, the wielder is able to match the exact force of the threat and nullify it. At this early stage of the Sharingan, the art of reflection is difficult, and often only performed by luck and instinct. Cost: -1 Futatsudomoe Sharingan Only with the appearance of the second extra pupil, does the Sharingan eye begin to truly develop its considerable powers. At this stage it is must more difficult for the exemplary vision of the eyes to be bested with speed. The Sharingan's capabilities with chakra and illusions are enhanced to a higher level. At this stage, the eye begins to manifest its own forms of hypnotism. The ability to copy techniques viewed in passing is made easier through the growth, causing less strain on the body of the wielder. Most astoundingly though, the wielder develops the ability to reflect enemy jutsu back to their source. Requirements: Level 20, Dormant Sharinan; Key to Futatsudomoe Sharingan [success], Replaces Hitotsudomoe Sharingan Mitsudomoe Sharingan For many years it was thought that this rank of the Sharingan was the pinnacle of what could be achieved. Despite this being proven untrue, the Mitsudomoe Sharingan is still considered a fully mature specimen of the kekkei genkai. As such, it has fully developed strength and range of its abilities. The chakra drain on the wielder is significant, but many who train themselves diligently are capable of keeping this rank of the Sharingan activated almost continuously. Requirements: Level 40, Dormant Sharingan; Key to the Mitsudomoe Sharingan [success], Replaces Futatsudomoe Sharingan Mangekyō Sharingan | 万華鏡写輪眼 | Kaleidoscope Mirror Wheel Eye The Mangekyō Sharingan is the very peak of the Sharingan's power. So rare is the ability to manifest this stage of the Sharingan, that some once said that it was a myth. It was then believed that to induce the Mangekyō Sharingan, the wielder would have to witness someone very dear to their heart die. The powers presented at this stage, are much greater than even the Toripuruha. The standard abilities of the Sharingan are all available to the Mangekyō Sharingan, but at a state that is beyond comparison to the other stages of the bloodline's evolution. The true power of the Mangekyō Sharingan lies in the abilities unique to it. Each wielder's eyes are different, holding different amazing powers. The use of the Mangekyō Sharingan is a double edged sword though. Extended use will eventually blind the wielder. Requirements: Level 70, Dormant Sharingan; Key to the Mangekyō Sharingan [success], Does not replace Mitsudomoe Sharingan. Activation: The Mangekyō Sharingan may be activated during the Setup Phase as a standard action. If the Mitsudomoe Sharingan is active, the Mangekyō Sharingan may be activated in any phase as a free action, though its activation cost must be paid during that phase. The Mangekyō Sharingan may be deactivated as a free action, either on its own(returning the user to the MItsudomoe Sharingan) or alongside a standard Sharingan deactivation. While the Mangekyō Sharingan is active, its Upkeep cost replaces MItsudomoe Sharingan's. Quote
