Tankou Clan

Name: Tankou Clan

Founder: Koumanzen Tankou

Location: Kirigakure

History: The Tankou Clan originated from the lands of Iwagakure. The Earth Country Daimyo had ordered the Stone Village to build him an indestructible killing machine from which he can control if this weapon disaobeys him. The tsuchikage had placed one of his top Jounin and several Chunin squads tin order to construct a new bloodline that shall serve the Daimyo for eternity. However, the Jounin known as Jiyasha Kiroko had plans of his own. He had wanted to create a new instrument that will serve under him and destory the village that killed his family- Kirigakure. While the teams werw working, Jiyasha dumped all of his assistants into a volcano where they'll all be burned and incenrated by the volcanic energy. Jiyasha used hundreds and hundreds of peasants and also "yamabushi". One yamabushi who was also a former samurai, going by the name of "Koumanzen", was Jiyasha's prime experimental specimen. "Koumanzen" had a unique feature inside of him where instead of blood flowing through his veins, there laid yellow fluids called "senkyuu". The unique flood tastes and feels very much like blood. Senkyuu allows a person to contain an unusually large stamina capacity. They'll be able to stay up without going to sleep for long periods of time and can maintain fights longer than normal. However, Senkyuu also contains and produces energy cells, similiar but slightly inferior to a soldier pill. Because of this, Koumanzen's chakra color is purely golden. But more interesting would be that metallic particles are also flowing within Koumanzen's senkyuu.

Jiyasha had stimulated and activated these metallic particles to a certain extent. Experimenting on Koumanzen's body, he injected an absorption virus, from which it would denote into absorption cells by a chakra signal from Jiyasha. As Jiyasha gave the command, the absorption cells combined with the metallic particles and multiplied throughout Koumanzen's body and skin. Because he had a little "white blood cells" to sustain the senkyuu, the cells had manifested and mutated to newly created cells. The mutation awakened Koumanzen in a fustration of pain and power. Jiyasha had marveled at his successful experiment, he had created a super soldier with superhuman strength. However, a certain event occured that had turned Jiyasha's plan gone wrong. Koumanzen had touched the nearby iron bars and it had seemed as though it had burned his entire head and inflicted great pain. He laid there- moaning, but was sticked to the bar. Suddenly, Koumanzen's skin began to darken and change color and the iron bars crumbled. Koumanzen gotten angry that someone had degrated him and reborned him as a savage monster, and turned against his "creator." Jiyasha was defenseless against Koumanzen and was killed before Jiyasha could evade, but he left a chakra mark on Koumanzen's core before he was crushed to oblivion. The scar later became known as the symbol of the Tankou Clan.

After the destruction of the base that Jiyasha had experimented in, Koumanzen had traveled the world in order to find use of his newly found powers. In truth, Koumanzen's abilities were not complete. Jiyasha had wanted to extend Koumanzen's power to an unknown extent. Koumanzen was left alone to find out what could have been advanced and how to advance it. He traveled around the world until he met a young female cook in the Land of Water. Her name was Nami "hijo" Tankou and she had tended the wounds that had scarred the priests's former self. Koumanzen had fell in love with Nami and enhancted her with his "magic" to win her heart. They had settled in Kirigakure where they raise their children, three boys and one girl. Eventually, Koumanzen's children grew more children and their children grew more children and they had become a family of long generations. Furthermore, Koumanzen's legacy and powers passed on to his desendents as well as his senkyuu, where the "Tankou" clan became known for their abilities. All of the clan are currently striving in Kirigakure, where their clan members are training as shinobi and developing prized metalworkers to create more metal variety for their clan.

Special Info: Tankou clan members utilizes a special Taijutsu style called Kinzoku Ryuu utilizing their kekkei genkai- Kinzoku Senshin. Kinzoku Senshin is a Secret Clan ability unique to the Tankou Clan. The Tankou clan have the ability to absorb the properties of any metallic object they touch. They'll be able to increase their strength, durability, structure, and speed depending on the type of metal. At minimum absorbing even the weakest of all metals, their physical features increase by 10-19% [Mohs Hardness- 0.1-2], by 20-35% [Mohs Hardness- 2.1-4], by 36-50% [Mohs Hardness- 4.1-5]. by 51-75% [Mohs Hardness- 5.1-7.5], by 75%-85%[Mohs Hardness- 7.5-8.5], and 85%- 100% [Mohs Hardness-8.5-10 (ten-fold)] and >100%[>10]. It is on a Hardness of 5 or higher that Tankous must rapidly consume chakra. For most metals, a Tankou's strength can be increased by 15-30% on average.

Tankous also possess a unique bodily fluid that replaces blood called "senkyuu." With senkyuu, Tankous are usually energetic and possess abnormal stamina. They can use their senkyuu as minor replacements for soldier pills. Tankous have a special positive-negative cycle with Raiton elements. While in their metallic state, they're more prone and weaker against Raiton techniques used by somebody else. However, their capabilities and metallic powers can be enhanced by using their own Raiton energy to enhance their metal body. Their power would be amplified and can perform more severe tasks and can even reduce their weakness against foreign Raiton chakra. Although they can stay in their metallic state as long as they have chakra, Tankous do have a limit when absorbing iron due to a "rust" effect. When absorbing metals, they of course cannot inherit any unique abilities of any special metal sword/weapon unless that weapon has been equipped with it a special item that can adapt to a Tankou's ability (and even so they'll only inherit one ability.) If an enemy's weapon has a "living mind", the Tankou clan member would feel intense pain and cell damage as that metal quickly retracts with the Tankou. If the sword is dipped in poison, the Tankou just easily allowed the poison to enter his/her body and would require medical atttention.

Requirements: Tankous are honored their clan name once they're able to absorb metal into their body whether it'd be full or partial. A Tankou's name is shunned by the clan if they commit murder against another clan member or if they went through evil methods to obtain the clan's dangerous techniques. Their name would be erased from the clan's databook of clan members and be hunted by every other clan member.
