"the balance between life and death, body and soul"
"is as simple as the colors black and white"
Clan Element: N/A
Special characteristics/traits:
- Most of the user's are known to bare a magatama, each a color unique to them only. This magatama is the second symbol is something that they will encounter randomly when they turn five years old, and will literally always come back into their grasp somehow even if it was to be thrown away.
Location: Scattered
Bloodline Name: Tamashī
Bloodline Ability: User's of the Tamashī's abilities are commonly referred to as whisperers or even more extreme names as Exorcists or Shinigamis. They are referred to as Angels, and there purpose is as important to the universe as the sun is important to the universe. As the name suggest, the clan's abilities involves the use of literal souls. It is not an actual clan as most members are in no way related to each other, and is more so of gift given to very few individuals at birth.
The most priminent ability is that they can naturally perceive the souls or both the living and the dead. Doing this on the living, they can see/feel a person's characteristics, personality, feelings, memories, etc. They can also see, feel and communicate with the souls/spirit of those who would have died, and if there are spirits/souls who don't want to move on, they're responsible for helping their move on or not so as to not best with the "balance of life and death".
Besides these two passive applications, the clan members are capable of using their abilities for supplementary purposes. The primary means is their ability to use a technique comparable to the Yamanaka's Mind Body Switch technique on either others or themselves. This makes it possible for them to transfer their subconscious or other's subconscious onto others or onto themselves. This ability comes in particularly handy as while a person is possessing their body, as long as all non physically biological prerequisites are met they can use the abilities of those inhabiting their body and vice-versa.
The clan though is considered a gift for a reason though. This gift isn't necessarily good, but also bad as well. Most of the people who have been known to wield this gift are known to have either gone insane as they have to deal with tons of dead souls/spirits everyday, some of which can't be moved on by force, as well as there have been cases of some people taking over the user's entirely.
All of those who wield this power have always bare a spiritual relation, which usually causes them to get dreams of eachother.
Secret Clan Jutsu:
Name: Shoji (所持, Possession)
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Duration: When used against a player's character of a rank lower than the user's, this technique can last up to 6 posts, for those same rank as the user, it may last up to four posts and against those of a higher rank, it can last two posts. With permission from the person being possessed though it can used for much longer for plotting purposes. Against non-player characters (NPCs) it may last for days and even years.
Hand Seals/Charge up: 7 seconds
Description: By attaining extensive physical contact with a person, this technique enables the user to inhabit the body of another. In doing this, the person they take over will still remain in their subconscience, albeit the user will have full control over that person's body (unless that person has a strong resolve, such as love). While in that person's body, they can utilize the techniques they know that person possess (even kekkei genkai and doujutsu) as well as their own (providing that their are no physical biological requirements). The user's body itself, unless they use the "Soul Lend" technique beforehand, they will be left as a lifeless corpse (albeit, there body won't actually decay).
This can be used on those other than the user themselves, in which case the user can have someone else, or even a sirit from the other side inhabit the person(s) in question. Doing this the same rules apply.
Weakness: The user's real body is left vulnerable.
Name: Yukubarai (厄払い, Exorcism)
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Duration: 1 post
Hand Seals/Charge up: 7 seconds
Description: The parent technique which enables the user to extract a spirit/soul from one's body. By establishing extensive contact, this technique will "Exorcise" a person, removing spirits which may be inhabiting them, this will include those put their by the user or via other means. When extracted, the spirit in question will be sent to to "the other side", also known as the spiritual world where only the user and other Tamashi's or spirits can see them, from there the user can choose to "move them on".
This can be used on people who are already in their real bodies, although if such is the case, the effect is only temporary, lasting two posts at max before the person would have returned to their body. As nature means of maintaining balance, a person can't actually be killed using this as even if there physical body was to be completely disintegrated, it will be completely restored in its former state when their spiritual body returns. This makes this technique very handy in the event of saving other's.
Weakness: This is very painful to the perosn being exorcised. A person can't actually die while their physical body is unoccupied.
Name: Tamashī no dōki (魂の同期, Soul Synchronization)
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Duration: This technique has a set duration of seven posts, irregardless of rank.
Hand Seals/Charge up: Ram
Description: This technique is one of these Whisperers most feared. Activated by a simple touch, this technique will enable the user to synchronize their own spirit/soul with another person's. In doing this, their spirit/soul would have become one, making it possible for them to access each other's senses as their own. Anything felt, seen, smelt, tasted or heard by one will affect the other. This also establishes a link between them, making it possible for them to feel eachother's presence no matter how far away. The damage though is never physical, albeit if one person was to die, then the other will die as well as it will be their spirit dying not their body.
Weakness: The user has no choice when using this technique, meaning that they can't decide what they want to feel, hear or see, etc. This technique also can't be cancelled, and so the user must wait the duration.
Name: Tamashī no ken (魂の拳, Soul Fist)
Rank: S
Type: Genjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: Close-Mid
Duration: 10 posts
Hand Seals/Charge up: N/A
Description: A fighting style developed utilizing the member's unique ability to manipulate souls. When they attack, instead of dealing physical damage, they will instead deal damage to their foes soul/spirit. What this does is very versatile. The user can attack the user making them feel pain that is enough to cripple most people in a few hits, they can attack their spirit to make that person go through various pychological trauma or illusions, etc. This technique isn''t limited by physical contact though as the user can extend it's reach by using the same spiritual power, enabling them to strike their foes with the aforementioned abilities from up to 5 meters (or 10 feet) away.
Weakness: The damage is entirely mental/spiritual, and so no actual damage whatsoever is done to a person physically even though it may feel that way.
Clan History:
Over the years there have been hundreds who have been chosen to grasp the powers of the spirits, and maintain the balance between life and death. There existent extends back to the very beginning of the universe as there purpose is comparable to that of a Angels. Over the years, the number of people who have been granted this gift have never exceeded seven.
Over the years, knowledge of their existent has mostly been known as myths. The few people who know of them have feared them, believing them to be Shinigami (死神, "death god") who can kill others by touch or who bring death wherever they go. This has caused many of them to have died at the hands of these people, to the point there have been pass incidents of mass murder in fear of them, such as nine hundred years ago when a group of villagers started killing each other in fear, which was called the "The Night of Harvest". Others have worshipped them as messengers or Angels, having a few religions well wish worship and study them. Albeit, with those who had feared them, this has caused a few wars well for those who oppose to these beliefs.
Many of those who possess this gift have been known to go insane as many of the spirits on the "other side" can very well decide to drive them insane. There are many cases of dead spirits taking over them, in turn returning to life. This essentially makes this a gift for those with strong wills and minds, but a terrible curse for those who don't have these traits as they can be overwhelemed.
In the modern age, most people don't indulge in the belief of the Whisperers anymore. Albeit, there are still religions and cults who still follow these beliefs.
