Gyojin Clan

Clan name: Gyojin clan
Clan Symbol: N/A
Clan members: Alucard
Clan History: A long time ago, when the five great nations were yet to be born and the clan wars was at its peak, a small group of gifted shinobi lived in peace near the coast. They were incredibly talented with water jutsus, making it almost impossible for anyone to attack their village because of its strategic location near the sea. Each day was spent training and trying to understand the mysteries of the ocean. Without surprise, the Gyojin Clan had a very deep connection with every water creature that lived near their village. With time and careful studies, a crafty new art was develop to allow user to breath underwater. However, it was not without any consequences. With every genetic alteration, every new generation was slowly turning into a creature that can only be classified as a combination between a human and a sea creature.

Then, when the wars couldn’t be avoided any further, the Gyojin Clan took their weapons and marched to combat. However, they were crushed, outnumbered by the recent alliance of the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan. In a desperate move to save what was left of their clan, those who could now survive both on land and underwater exile themselves into the abyss of the ocean. The elders, who weren’t fit to survive underwater, were left to die on the surface.

For years, the Gyojin Clan remained hidden, rebuilding their village inside the perimeter of a vast barrier jutsu, creating the illusion of an underwater island.

To this date, the Gyojin Clan is still hidden, and forgotten from history.

Clan abilities: The Gyojin clan share some basic abilities related to their genetic traits, such as: their incredible physical abilities (about 2 times stronger and 1.5 times faster then a regular human), a naturally occurring mucoprotein (common to fish) that is both a protection against bacterial infections but also a natural insulator, the ability to breathe underwater, an uncommon resistance to D-rank and under water techniques, and finally incredible swimming speed.

Then, as you rise amongst the clan’s rank, a clansman develops/is taught some new abilities: a strong affinity with water (being able to use B-rank and under without handseals as well as defining their resistance to water jutsus, being unaffected by C-rank and under), a new branch of taijutsu called Gyojin Karate, the ability to sense bodies of water and everything inside a water source.
