Hikari Clan

Bloodline: Hikari no karada (Body of Light)

Bloodline Ability: The Hikari have the ability to use light in their jutsu as they would other elements. Unlike other advanced elements the Hikari's light release is not a combination of two basic elements, but a stand alone primary elements. Hikari may have two other elements like all other Shinobi, but Light must be their primary element. As part of the bloodline the Hikari have phosphorescent lines running beneath their skin, which they can cause to glow a pale blue light. These lines are the paths along which chakra flow, and the special chakra the Hikari possess can shine and give off light at will. This glow can light up a 20 ft area, and the light provided is enough that anyone can see easily within that radius. The Hikari are able to make specific parts of these lines glow, and can isolate the glow to specific parts of their body.

When a person is hit by any light element jutsu, they are 'marked' for one post, the area where they were struck glowing slightly. If hit by another light jutsu before the mark fades they are drained of 10 chakra. A target can only hold one mark at a time, and a jutsu that detonates a mark does not proc another, unless stated. A single jutsu cannot both mark and detonate unless otherwise stated.

Clan History: They say when that when the world was created three forces struggled for power, darkness, light and the angles who joined both sides. These early wars are lost to the overwhelming decay of time until there is nothing more than whispered tales of legends half forgotten a millennium ago. Truth fades into obscurity, reality lost. Obscurity fades into history, the things we record, and take for fact. History fades into legend, and those who believe are ridiculed. Legend fades to dust, and so it is with the origins of the Hikari. There is a legend, and who is to say it is not the remnants of truth, that a millennium ago stars fell from the heavens in the creation of the world. These stars were pure, and made from light that made the sun seem dim, and dull. These lights fell over endless oceans and mountains, forests and plains. As these lights struck, they faded, dulled by the earth on which they found themselves. Over the many years, only one light remained bright, hidden deep in an ocean as deep as the stars are far. It was on a fateful evening when a lone sailor was struck by a storm, many say the storm was an omen of the many wars to come that would befall the land, but nevertheless, the storm sunk his ship to the bottom of the sea. As it sunk, he was trapped inside, kept alive by a tiny pocket of air in which he could stay. Darkness surrounded him as the boat sank further and further, until he was about to go made from the solitude and the cold. It was when he was at his lowest, that he saw a light right outside his window, he stared and was amazed, that in the pitch black depths of the ocean, something was glowing. Knowing that he was a dead man, the sailor swam from his boat towards the light, hoping to die in its warm embrace, but as he drew nearer the light pulled at him, and when he reached out to touch it the light rushed inside him, filling him to the very core of his being. He looked around to see millions of fish, each glowing with an inner light just like he was now. The fish surrounded him, and in a rush of water raced him to the surface.

Many years later he married, and he and his wife bore child. Like his father, the boy possessed an affinity for light, and glowing lines appeared under his skin to comfort him in the dark. Time passed and the family stretched into generations, each possessing the same abilities bestowed by the light unto their ancestor. Years later the family, now having taken the name Hikari, meaning light, moved into the village that now resided in the very ocean their great ancestor had found his salvation in the light. To this day they still reside there, grateful for the mercy that light bestowed upon their ancestor, and now bestows upon them. They are a light in the dark ocean floor, and are well revered by their other villagers. In the most secret meetings of their clan's they speak whispered words of a truth that they have kept hidden for generations, they are the descendants of the men who fought in that first war as angels and demons for both sides in the struggle for dominion in the world's creation. The Hikari know the origins of the ancient light which gave them their powers, it was the corpse of an ancient Seinaru fallen from the heavens and preserved for millenia on the ocean floor. The Hikari possess a fraction of the immense power of the Seinaru and have a secret name given to them long ago by the Guardians and the Seinaru themselves. Angels. To this day they watch and wait, fearing the time their clan will be called upon to defend the source of their power if the war of dominions begins again.

This needs a drawback

Edited.

Left the Twenty Beams in because that extra speed is just to add visual effect, and make sure the jutsu finishes, they have to actually be hit first for it to happen and it doesnt affect the jutsu at all

Well I think it's ok then but at the same I'm hesistant would appreciate another look over by another mod but It isn't required.

Code:

Approval Given

Badass

Alright, clans need two moderatory approvals to work, or one administration approval, so I'm going to pull this out of the approved list and go over it after noticing a few things. Current Hikari will be allowed to battle based on the previous state of the clan if they're already in a fight now (Looking at Rand), but any battle topics made after this going over will have to use the edited clan.

First things first, the bloodline.

Genin should not be able to drain 10 chakra (especially if most of the jutsu attack more than once so can drain the chakra in one jutsu), unless you specify that it's once per jutsu and not per attack. Genin and Chuunin should be able to drain 5, Sp. Jounin and up can drain 10, making the majority of it an elite clanmember trait.

Make the edit and bump it so we can redo the jutsu.

Alright here's an overall request of what I want done, as discussed in the CB:

KKG- 5 chakra drain for Genin, it can be 10 otherwise

2 D- Add in that the target has approx. 1 second to avert there eyes if they are caught looking at you when you activate it, also that once the opponent is blinded, the jutsu ends.

1 C- Get rid of the trail damage, just state that the trail is there

2 C- How many beams are there after the balls explode? Also, either get rid of the 10 chakra drain or state that it can't mark

1 B- How far can they bend? Bending is changing direction, so I would like a little bit of explaining as to how sharply they can turn, or what it takes for the opponent to get them off their tail. Get rid of the 100mph bit, 50mph is already faster than any average B rank. Reduce chakra drain to 10 or state that it can't mark. Clarify that the trails can't damage anyone.

2 B- lower the overcharge amount to 10 chakra, to match how much the user spends to cast it initially

A- Add equivalent exchange. Make it so that it either causes some bad side effects afterward (Ideally losing 60% in speed for the same duration after the jutsu), or that it lasts only for 3 posts and the jutsu negation changes to C and lower. You should also include that either you can't physically hit people unless you're using a jutsu, an effect of ethereality of sorts, or that you clearly state that they can hit you with basic punches and kicks. Otherwise, you're a crazy fast beam of light that can't be hit unless the jutsu is REALLY tough and that uses less chakra to cast a bunch of attacks that hit the target normally for a total of 5 rounds. Basically Jesus on wheels.

S- I'm all about death potential for victims of S rank jutsu, but this is too much. If it completely vaporizes anyone that isn't a Jounin, and it leaves a Jounin and S rank basically dead afterwards, it definitely can't be 40ft in diameter and it definitely can't travel at 120mph. Even my clan's S rank, that vaporizes only what it hits and not automatically full body, takes three posts of a very detailed process that you die instantly if you explain incorrectly. That's just.. instant death with absolutely no to extremely minimal chances of countering. Add more of a preparation time, and state that you can't move while you prepare it or there's severe repercussions (just like mine). Get rid of the auto-full body disintegration, and state that it only disintegrates what it hits, meaning if a Genin gets hit in the arm, they lose their arm, not.. well.. everything. Lastly, either lower the speed or lower the size, that one's up to you, but the other edits I mentioned are required.


Also, one last thing involving your clan as a whole. When you "drain" chakra from the victim, it's not added to your chakra pool, right? Because I can't allow that if that's the case.

You forgot getting rid of the speed doubling on the 20 beams. Also, on the A rank, since you added neither that the duration is shortened, you have to raise the aftermath to -60% (Not 40), like I said in my last post. On the S, clearly state that you can't move for those posts after the handseals, and that you suffer from all physical stat reductions (strength, speed, reaction) by 40% for the duration of the other repercussions.
