Clan Name: Drăculești
Clan element/'s: n/a
Special characteristics/traits: The Drăculești can freely switch between their human and vampiric forms, diminishing their unholy weaknesses for the sake of cover and practicality. The Drăculești are also known to wear mostly black or dark-colored clothing, as for protection when they phase into their vampiric form. Drăculești appear blurry in images, while the really old or strong members just do not show up on images altogether. If attempted to be painted, the painted image will disappear. They are also known for their striking and somewhat unholy beauty
Location: The existence of the Drăculești is considered a myth. There is no current or even any recent mention of a member of this clan since the Warring States Period, and even then, they were considered a myth. There is no main location where the Drăculești converge. The Drăculești are mostly nomadic, while some will change their last name and join a Hidden Village as a means of having a job or occupation
Bloodline Name: Children of the Devil
Bloodline Ability:
- Ochi de Strigoi:
The Drăculești have special eyes, far different from those of the Uchiha or Hyūga clans. These pitch-black orbs are unholy in their composition and meaning, as they are made not to see chakra, but the blood-flow of living organisms. Once the Drăculești activates the eyes, all else is pitch-black save for anything with flowing blood; by a weak extension anything the user may be wielding. The eyes of a seasoned vampire have been reputed to even project hypnotic effects on the victim
Note: All eye stages grant perfect vision in darkness- Innate Stage | The user can see the life force of natural things and distinguish between different creatures without confusion. When it comes to seeing blood, those organisms that possess blood (flowing or still) are seen in a fuzzy red hue. The eyes are not as sensitive to light as the latter stages, but a bright source (indirect daylight) will diminish the ability to see blood | No Cost
- Stage One | The user now sees blood more definitely, now viewing it in the veins that they carry. Organs are very blurry but discernible to a degree. Now, the user can see auras that determine if the organism is experiencing anxiety or fear. At this point, the user can project D-Rank Genjutsu with direct eye-contact after a post of constant visual contact. Bright lights (flashbang level) can actually blind the user if this stage | 200 Ryo or 300 WC| D-Rank Upkeep
- Stage Two | The user can now see perfectly the blood vessels and all the organs they go through and supply blood to. Anxiety and fear can now be "seen" through two distinct colored auras (up to the user on the colors). The user can now project C-Rank genjutsu into the victim through visual contact, however, after one post of sustained contact. The same weakness to light from the previous level is found here| 350 ryo or 500 WC| C-Rank Upkeep
- Master Stage | The Drăculești's eyes have matured to their pinnacle point in power. At this stage the eyes can see the blood, organs, neural veins and everything they connect to. The more vital points of the body have a greater red hue to it, making seeking out weak points an easy job. The user can now project B-Rank Genjutsu upon eye contact in the same post. However, direct sunlight will diminish all of the traits associated with this eye stage | 500 Ryo or 750 WC| C-Rank Upkeep
- Innate Stage | The user can see the life force of natural things and distinguish between different creatures without confusion. When it comes to seeing blood, those organisms that possess blood (flowing or still) are seen in a fuzzy red hue. The eyes are not as sensitive to light as the latter stages, but a bright source (indirect daylight) will diminish the ability to see blood | No Cost
- Cadavrul Devils:
The physical power of the Drăculești is quite mythical, due to the unholy genetic compound of their bodies. As creatures aligned with the night, they share a unique relationship with their natural-world counterparts: vampire bats. The connection between the two is an innate phenomena, as bats play a unique role in their physiology. When some clans can transmute their bodies into natural elements, a Drăculești can transmute their physical form into that of cloven of vampire bats
- Chiropterafication | 250 Ryo OR C-Rank WC:
Name: Chiropterafication
Rank: C
Type: Clan Technique
Used For: Defensive | Supplementary
Element: n/a
Range: n/a
Duration: Upkeep
Hand Seals/Charge up: n/a
Description:
This is an ability almost innate in the bloodline of the Drăculești: the ability to transmute their physical body into a cloven of vampire bats. This ability makes it impossible to receive damage from physical attacks; from the whole body to singular body parts the Drăculești can avoid death. This form grants also an odd form of flight, although the user cannot attain flights at heights exceeding 1500 feet off the ground. The speed is relative to the user's Taijutsu level as well.
Weakness: A Fire Release equal to the user's rank can effectively burn and scorch the cloven of bats, and thus forcing the user out from this stage. Strong sources of light can force the user from this form into their humanoid form as well. Lightning Release can also deal some form of harm, if the technique is able to harm all of the bats, which numbers range from 75 - 150.
Within their vampiric form, the Drăculești physical and hypnotic power is enhanced to unholy levels. Taijutsu and Genjutsu techniques performed by a Drăculești gain a rank in power (meaning a D-Rank Tai or Gen used possesses C-Rank potency. S-Rank remains unchanged). Their amazing physical ability is powerful and is their greatest weapon. The other physiological aspects of the Drăculești are listed below, along with the grievous disadvantages- Blood Contamination | The Drăculești's blood is not of an ordinary composition. Although not as complex as the blood of the Shurajo, their blood at a basic level is not meant to be ingested or taken into the body of a human. A single drop can cause temporary sickness for two posts, while greater quantities can seriously injure the organs of the body that have the most concentrations of blood
- Sunlight | The Drăculești are vulnerable to direct sunlight in their vampiric form, and can easily succumb to the effects of the UV rays and perish. An aged and/or stronger Drăculești can tolerate more sunlight than most before dying themselves. A D-Rank and C-Rank Drăculești can only last three posts in direct sunlight, a B-Rank and A-Rank four, while a S-Rank Drăculești can manage six posts before burning away forever.
- Silver | Just as werewolves have an adverseness to silver and wolfs-bane, the Drăculești are significantly weakened in the presence of silver. If in at least a three meter radius range from a source of silver , their Taijutsu and Genjutsu abilities take a -1 penalty in effectiveness.
- Staking | A well-placed wooden stake or broken wooden object through the heart of the Drăculești is an instantaneous death
- Fire Release | Fire Release and any large source of fire can greatly harm a Drăculești. Fire is what burns and purifies their tainted flesh and blood, and thus the Drăculești have a -1 penalty against Fire Release techniques when struck by it
- Soulless Undead | The Drăculești are not living beings, in a sense. While they can be damaged and destroyed, they are unable to feel pain nor do they possess a soul. Although their vampiric form carries the inability to feel pain, the Drăculești no matter the form have no actual soul. They are immune to techniques designed to destroy or seal the soul away. By an extension, they are unable to feel the adverse effects of poison (although paralysis agents still have a way or working)
- Claws and Prehensile Tongue | A Drăculești's claws are an inch long when their vampiric form is activated, and can rip into weak metals (gold and steel) with relative ease. Their tongue also has prehensile qualities, can can extend two feet from the mouth to grab small items and the like. It also helps to lap at blood if too far from the main body
- Healing Dilema | Attempts to heal a Drăculești with ordinary Medical Ninjutsu can actually further harm the user while in their vampiric form. Should the Drăculești be too weak in their human form (below 50% chakra) they cannot shift into their vampiric form. Likewise for the vampiric form: should the user fall under 50% of their chakra reserves they cannot shift into their human form
- Kinship | Drăculești cannot injest the blood of their own kind to heal themselves. That use will be explained later on in Bea Nocturnal
- Useless Organs | The Drăculești have no need for eating or breathing. While a good punch or strike to the gut will still cause some damage, their lungs are as useless as their need to sleep
- Bea Nocturnal:
Even if a Drăculești can manage to survive in human establishments for centuries, they must still drink blood. Drinking blood seems to be one of the few ways a Drăculești can truly replenish their bodies and heal wounds. To an ordinary person and all beings that have flowing blood, it is their life source and what keeps them alive. The Drăculești, not having true flowing blood, need to consume the blood of humans in order to sustain life. However, the urgency for drinking blood is determined on how much the Drăculești utilize their vampiric form. The Drăculești's need for blood in quantities does not matter; the blood source can come from a living person, a corpse or even rare steak. However, when it comes to draining a living person, things become more... "complex". When draining a living person, two things happen: regeneration and Blood Link. Blood is what truly regenerates a vampire when weak.- It takes a single post of drinking to heal scratches and bruises. Healing from this form of wound can also be done through regeneration, which only takes two posts
- It takes three posts of drinking to heal from deep gashes that do not affect vital organs (rending of the flesh, stab wound, etc.)
- It takes five posts to heal from grievous injuries that range from goring to near loss of limbs
- It takes seven posts of drinking to heal wounds to vital organs (save for the brain)
However, it takes about nine posts to fully heal oneself at the cost of draining the victim dry (killing them in the process). The Drăculești regain chakra like any other living being, and cannot gain chakra through blood draining. The second portion is not so direct as drinking blood (in the sense of prolonged draining). Blood Linking allows for the Drăculești to have a special mental link with the victim. The deeper the blood link the greater the influence the Drăculești has over the victim through special abilities that utilize the Blood Link- Blood Link:
Name: Blood Link
Rank: D | C | B
Type: Kekkei Genkai
Used For: Supplementary
Element: N/A
Range: |Varies|
Duration: |Varies|
Hand Seals/Charge up: |Bite Must Be Initiated|
Description: The Drăculești have recently evolved into the usage of Blood Linking in order to further implant their influence within a victim. Blood Linking allows for the Drăculești to have a special mental link with the victim. The deeper the blood link the greater the influence the Drăculești has over the victim through special abilities that utilize the Blood Link- Blood Link I | The Drăculești maintains a temporary Blood Link with the victim which lasts for five posts. With this Blood Link the Drăculești can understand the person's current emotional state and minimum information (Name, age, current state of mind, village allegiance and rank). This Blood Link fades away after the Drăculești or victim separate from one another for 50 meters | D-Rank | Same Post of Drinking to Initiate
- Blood Link II | The Drăculești establishes a stronger link that lasts for ten posts now. This link allows for certain techniques which involve placing the Drăculești's own thoughts into the user, although such techniques are usually B-Rank and higher. More personal information is received during this link (Kekkei Genkai *if any*, patches of the victim's history, any personal secrets they may have). This Blood Link fades away after the Drăculești or victim separate from one another for 75 meters | C-Rank | Two Posts of Drinking to Initiate
- Master Blood Link | The Drăculești can execute powerful secret clan subjugation techniques remotely, as the Blood Link is now at its zenith and lasts for fifteen posts. The Drăculești knows just about everything about the victim, including memories and events the victim may have forgotten his/herself. This Blood Link fades away after the Drăculești or victim separate from one another for 100 meters | B-Rank | Three Posts of Drinking to Initiate
Weakness: Don't let the Drăculești bite you, as an obvious measure. Running out of the range once cancels the link permanently, forcing the Drăculești to drink again to initiate the Blood Link. Should a vampire NOT write down the information gained via Blood Link before they initiate another Blood Link, that information is automatically forgotten and erased from the mind once the next Blood Link is initiated- Blood Link I | The Drăculești maintains a temporary Blood Link with the victim which lasts for five posts. With this Blood Link the Drăculești can understand the person's current emotional state and minimum information (Name, age, current state of mind, village allegiance and rank). This Blood Link fades away after the Drăculești or victim separate from one another for 50 meters | D-Rank | Same Post of Drinking to Initiate
Drăculești become unnerved when around fresh blood, even in human form. It's unsettling and it makes them hungry. Depending on the quantity of blood, the Drăculești could either find composure easily or completely lose it.- It takes a single post of drinking to heal scratches and bruises. Healing from this form of wound can also be done through regeneration, which only takes two posts
- Copil al Diavolului:
After all of what is seen of the Drăculești, what can be inferred about their human forms? Nothing special! A Drăculești's human form is as ordinary as can be, appearing measly and average to an ordinary person. However, to the Drăculești, their human form is seen as just an effective tool as their vampiric form. In their human form, they do not have such a craving for blood or the adverseness to sunlight and silver and the like. The Drăculești' only way of walking out in the sun is in this form, but they usually wear dark clothing just in case they need to invoke their vampiric abilities on a whim.
- Regele de Noapte:
Should a Drăculești achieve the powers relative to a S-Rank shinobi, they are able to undergo a permanent transformation into a Lord. Lords are the leaders of vampires within a certain area. Lords will be superior in every way to Drăculești of a lower rank. There can only be one Lord per establishment (Hidden Village), and should two or more worthy S-Rank Drăculești seek for the title of Lord they will fight to the death. A Lord's power is increased, in which Taijutsu and Genjutsu take a -1 rank and efficiency penalty against the Lord coupled with the Lord's own +1 to Taijutsu and Genjutsu The difference between a Lord and some other S-Rank Drăculești is that a Lord is gifted a special Ninjutsu only they are able to learn: Subjugating Loyalty.- Subjugation | 1200 Ryo + Kinjutsu Training:
Name: Subjugating Loyalty
Rank: S-Rank Kinjutsu
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: n/a
Range: |Ocular Range|
Duration: |Until Death of Caster or Cancellation by Caster|
Hand Seals/Charge up: Master Blood Link | Snake → Ox → Ram → Snake → Boar → Ram → Rat → Clasp Hands
Description: The Drăculești Lord performs the hand-seals listed above while they have a Master Blood Link over a victim. The user then proceeds to drink that person's blood to the point of what would be death. However the person does not die and is given a second life. During this second life, the target has an undying loyalty to the user of this technique. This means they will live their lives as they had before but find it their duty to protect and serve the person that has converted them.
Weakness: This does not make them a member of the bloodline, just a protector of their "master". The Lord is unable to destroy a slave, even if he/she feels up to it. Destroying the Lord effectively cancels the technique and the user immediately forgets all experiences with the Lord. The Lord can also simply cancel this technique if they feel pity for the person, or has a justifiable reason to do so.
A Lord can sustain more prolonged contact in sunlight than an ordinary Drăculești, lasting ten posts before frying. A Lord is no longer able to attain a human form, and shifts into a full-on creature of the night. Fire Release techniques gain an extra rank against a Lord, combined with the -1 penalty they have against Fire Release. In the presence of silver a Lord's overall rank drops to A-Rank (which includes diminishing the chakra pool temporarily). A Lord will have his/her vampiric eyes permanently active at Stage Two, but must apply extra chakra (B-Rank amount) to attain Stage Three.
Should there only be one S-Rank Drăculești in an area, he/she will simply make a thread in which they must train five thousand words describing their transformation into a Lord.
Secret Clan Jutsu:

Type: Genjutsu
Used For: Supplementary
Element: n/a
Range: n/a
Duration: |10 posts max.|
Hand Seals/Charge up: Eye Contact OR Blood Link Level 2 + Rat → Boar → Bird
Description: The user dupes the victim into believing that he/she is a friend of the victim. This technique works well if the user knows enough of the victim's knowledge and memories

--
Name: Anxiety-Inducement
Rank: C
Type: Genjutsu
Used For: Offensive
Element: n/a
Range: n/a
Duration: |Three Posts Max.|
Hand Seals/Charge up: Eye Contact
Description: The Drăculești instills anxiety, an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and apprehension, often accompanied by nervous behavior. It is the subjectively unpleasant feelings of dread over something unlikely to happen, such as the feeling of imminent death, often accompanied by restlessness, fatigue, problems in concentration, and muscular tension. The concentration of the victim lowers, and is unable to move for a maximum of three posts
Weakness: Genjutsu rules apply pertaining to not attacking the victim directly. Avoiding eye contact also helps
--
Name: Vorpal Strike
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Used For: Offensive
Element: n/a
Range: |Arm Range|
Duration: Instant
Hand Seals/Charge up: n/a
Description: One of the Drăculești's early techniques, this ability was made to use their claws in an interesting way aside from scratching. The hand is straightened like a spear and is then launched forward in a stabbing manner. Combined with the clan's Taijutsu prowess and the individual's own Taijutsu level this technique can pierce through flesh and bone alike
Weakness: Carbon steel, titanium and other dense metals aren't affected by this technique. The speed of this attack is relative to the Drăculești's own Taijutsu rank. Should someone of an equal rank have a higher spec or someone of a higher rank with the same or higher Taijutsu rank can easily dodge this ability with ease.
Clan History:
- O Poveste Untold:
The story of the Drăculești can be found in ninja monk temples and monasteries in remote areas in the Shinobi World, written in dusty and ancient tomes which haven't seen the light of the sun in over thousands of years. The first of this lineage were in truth humans, belonging to an even more ancient order of royalty. They were an order of knights and lords whose symbol was the image of two intertwining dragons. These knights and lords made this organization a secret, and before the time of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki they served no one in particular but themselves and their cause. However, when the Rabbit Goddess ate the Accursed Fruit the Order of the Dragon came out of hiding to combat her and her new powers.
They failed miserably, and were cast into the dark recesses of the earth and its underground caverns. The Order was doomed to die, but there was an ancient evil in those long and forgotten caverns. A frail and old man in appearance, the creature was not of the natural world, as it had a craving for human flesh and blood. The Order itself attempted to fight this single enemy and lost horribly, the few survivors letting themselves get lost in the various tunnel systems. The creature found them eventually, but left a single female left alive. She was the most beautiful of the Order, and the decrepit creature called her Bride and forced her to bear its unholy spawn. These creatures were disgusting and horrid, except for the last child attempted. He was a boy, named Dracul by his mother for his fierce attitude.
Dracul was ushered to the surface by his mother when he was only seven, having learned the way to escape from the wretched demon that impregnated her a dozen times. Dracul reached the surface and was almost immediately blinded by the rays of the sun. He adjusted slowly, and made his way around the area as human. Truly, he was born fully human, but there were other plans that fate had for the boy. He took his mother's advice and ran away to find an ancient castle in which he would find the answers to question he had. Truly enough, this castle was the same base of organization for the Order of the Dragon, evident by the banners of the intertwining dragons. He wandered inside and realized that his mother was of the order of secret knights and lords with a purpose of eradicating evil. Oh, the irony would seize him soon enough.
Dracul learned about what had happened when the Order attacked the Rabbit Goddess and the events that transpired on the outside world since. There was a strange and mysterious force called "chakra" that was borne into everyone in the world. The young boy sought to find teachings with this, and also, to revive the Order of the Dragon. It took him thirty years to build back the vat forces the Order once commanded: all fifty thousand soldiers. All of them possessed chakra, but still held their allegiance to Dracul as he was the son of one of the founding members. He always sought for ways to grow stronger, but never realized the power was dormant in his genes the entire time.
That infernal daemon which Dracul called father had come in search for his son, killing the now grown man's mother and the other defective children they had together. Dracul learned of this, but was sure that the daemon would be unable to reach him and breach through his army. Coincidentally at the time, to the daemon's benefit, Dracul had a wife and child. Their location was separate, and this location the daemon had found out. Dracul anticipated this move and rushed over to the location. They were safe, but something still felt off. It wasn't until actual realization that the man realized the daemon was actually going to seek and destroy his army. The events became more confusing as they went along, but in the end Dracul went out to seek his army.
The daemon killed his wife and child, and with its infernal speed it dropped their beheaded corpses within his chamber in the castle. Dracul discovered this, along with the bodies of all of his soldiers and best advisers. Words could not describe the man's sublime horror and sorrow over this, and sought to destroy his demonic father to settle the score. He did not have the aid of chakra, solely relying on his skilled hand-to-hand combat and his proficiency with his silver sword. Meeting the unholy paternal figure in the ruins of his castle, Dracul combated and managed to kill the daemon, but not before losing something vital. Dracul happened to ingest some of the blood of his father, which happened to activate the dormant unholy genes within his body.
Dracul became something more unholy and more perfect than his father. He became something that craved the blood of man but was also a being of man itself. He became a vampire, and in his brief state of rage he drank the blood of his entire army and his deceased wife and son. He was in emotional agony, and desolate without a bride. He further raged on and tapped into more darker powers, reviving his wife and conceiving a new child. That process went on for several centuries, and the clan of vampires had begun to adopt the rules and guidelines of loyalty and servitude of the Order of the Dragon.
The number of vampires decreased over the thousands of years due to vampire huntings and the like. They were forced into the dark caves of their ancestral grandfather, where they remained for several thousand years. Only in the recent two hundred years have they sought refuge on the surface world and the wonders and promises it brings for a new start
Members: Permission Only
Note: Drăculești cannot be revived via Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation nor other forms of resurrection. They are already dead, and are soulless. If transplanting from a person of this, the DNA must be taken from their human form. Someone who transplants from this clan does not receive the benefits that follow being undead
