    • [Clan]
    • [Members]



    Clan History/Description
    Existing during the time of the warring states period, the Pnévma are shockingly unknown to most despite playing a pivotal role in a number of conflicts across the ninja world. Believed to have originated from the land of fire as possible distant relatives to the senju, the clan is responsible for the creation of the paper bomb. During this time, they were known to rival the Nara in terms of intellect and were seen as their opposites due to the fact that they had no issue with getting involved in conflicts and used hiden techniques based around physical energy instead of spiritual. Despite their significant contribution to the art of ninja warfare the average ninja would be unaware of their existence as they did not side with any particular clan during the consolidation of power, instead assisting multiple clans across by supplying them with paper bombs and assisting in espionage and assassination missions. The Pnévma were able to keep their clan autonomy by creating contracts with most powerful clans during this period through their most famous clan leader, Tethys Pnévma, was famed as the "The Great Negotiator" for her ability to make deals with all of the major clans. Tethys trades her clan's innovative weapon and information for truces and protection from all of the ruling clans towards the end of the warring states period and was able to avoid extinction or forced assimilation upon the creation of villages.

    Currently the clan operates as a wandering clan, drifting across lands like a sheet of paper in the wind. Despite their wanderer status, members regularly leave and join villages in order to collect information and the clan operates an incredibly extensive spy network throughout all major villages, allowing the clan leader and other elites to be up to date an all current events going on in the ninja world. Members are usually sent to villages very young and tend to stay for generations in order to raise families of future village spies, some spies have never even been to the Pnévma base of operations yet still remain fiercely loyal to the clan with betrayal being unheard of with it being impossible for current members to give out information to others. This spy network is known as "Linden" because despite the fact that members branch out, they remain connected to the base like the branches of a Liden Tree, the symbol of the Pnévma.

    Due to their extreme wealth and use of paper creation, the Pnévma are able to easily set up a place of operations in any terrain and usually station themselves near a particular village for a number of months to renegotiate trade deals and touch base with informants. The clan is easily able to create houses and other buildings out of paper and their natural talent at sensory allows them to avoid intrusion. To this day, the inscription on all paper bombs comes directly from the hidden teachings of the Pnévma and the clan enjoys good relations with all major villages and collects royalties on all paper bomb products sold throughout the world. The clan leader still comes from the original line of Tethys and becomes the head of the paper bomb industry upon adulthood (usually 18) as well as the head of Liden. Along with the clan leader, a board of high ranking clan members, usually elder and stock traders, assist in the running of the business and clan. However, in the last few years tensions have begun to strain as the ninja villages grow more powerful and adversarial to each other, each one attempting to grab more power for themselves, and the delicate autonomy and peace the Pnévma have enjoyed for centuries could be threatened.  
    The Pnévma 52659_american_lin_lg
    Clan/Bloodline Traits & Characteristics
    The Pnévma are a clan of spies meant to blend in and infiltrate villages, as such they do not possess any defining physical characteristics beyond possessing an unnatural amber eye color. High ranking clan members usually have a tattoo of The Pnévma symbol, the Linden tree, somewhere on their bodies.
    Bloodline Description & Abilities
    Soul of the Shikigami
    Manipulating what is today known as yang release, clan members are able to utilize the physical energy that controls vitality in order to breath life into their chakra and transform it into paper with the trademark technique of the clan being the Dance of the Shikigami. Clan members are able to manipulate any form of paper be it created from them or otherwise, through techniques and are able to imbue physical energy into paper to give it other properties such as increased durability or sharpness. Paper techniques are also naturally strong against riaton based techniques due to non-conductive nature, all paper techniques do one tier higher of damage to raiton techniques. Only the Pnévma know the secrets of performing these special techniques and no one else besides the Pnévma can learn these techniques unless taught by a clan member.

    Paper Crane
    The free starting level for all clan members. Members do not yet have proper mastery over their yang release in order to turn themselves into paper and are limited to paper techniques of C rank and below. Members cannot use paper techniques in wet areas yet. Their enhancing of paper is quite limited and they do not have the capabilities to change the color of their paper for example.
    Paper Tiger-250 EXP
    At this level, clan members are finally able to properly use their paper techniques in combat and obtain the Dance of the Shikigami technique (B-rank) with purchase of this skill and have access to all paper techniques up to A-rank. Members are able to fully manipulate all aspects of the paper they use, such as the color and can link their senses to their paper. At this level, members are now able to create and maintain paper techniques in wet, rainy areas for double the chakra.
    Paper Dragon-500 EXP
    At this level, clan members have mastered their yang release, this is the level all elders and high level members of the clan possess, having access to paper techniques of all ranks. At this level, members have mastered the art of paper folding increasing the speed of all paper techniques by one rank (cannot boost to X). Members no longer have the duration of their paper techniques limited by suiton (though the durability debuff remains), and no longer have to pay double the chakra to maintain techniques in wet areas.
    Paper Angel-500 EXP but limited to clan leaders and those they teach
    A level of mastery with yang release only seen by descendants of Tethys Pnévma, "The Great Negotiator." Clan members who reach this level of mastery are able to create massive quantities of paper easily without much chakra, members are able to use the higher quantity paper techniques without needing a preexisting source. Members who reach this stage are able free form manipulate paper around them at the Speed and Coordination one tier lower than the user's base coordination stat, this is unaffected by the paper dragon speed boost. Free form manipulation costs 5 stamina points per post and the range for manipulation is a 50 meter radius.

    Original patent
    Members are able to buy 5 paper bombs for the cost of one and do not have a limit to how many they can hold. Members possess the unique chakra of the Pnévma which resonates with their paper bombs increasing the power of all paper bomb items used by them by one tier.

    Natural spy

    Known as rivals to the nara during the warring states period, clan members posses naturally high intellects and analytical abilities coupled with natural talents in espionage. All clan members receive a + to Intelligence and a + to Perception.

    Natural spy level 2-250 EXP
    Clan members have grown as spies, increasing their intelligence by another + and have an easier time discerning genjutsu. Intelligence or Perception requirements for recognizing a Genjutsu are lowered by 1 tier.
    Natural spy level 3-500 EXP
    Clan members have become master spies, increasing their intelligence by another +. Members have a natural resistance to mind reading techniques, like the Psycho Mind Transfer, requiring those that try to read their mind to have a higher intelligence.
    Bloodline Limits & Drawbacks
    Sticky
    Techniques based around oil or other sticky substances make it difficult for clan members to fold and manipulate their paper-lowering the speed of paper techniques by one stage

    Combustible
    Paper is naturally combustible, katon based techniques gain a one tier increase in power when making contact with paper techniques

    Wet Paper
    Until members have adequately trained their paper techniques, forming them in areas with rain or water is difficult. Suiton based techniques lower the power of paper techniques by one when hit and limit their duration to 2 posts. Without training, members cannot form paper techniques in wet areas such as those with heavy rain.

    The One Percent
    Due to generations of wealth, clan members have not had to do as much manual labor, instead looking down on those who choose to practice such forms of fighting. Members are not physically the strongest-members are unable to learn taijutsu above C rank.

They are also capable of flight and hovering in this form. This paper is seemingly expendable, including parts of the user's body converted to paper, making the user immune to most physical attacks.

The amount of explosive tags the user can use in total with this technique is 100. The user has a weakness to katon techniques in this form as well as they are still able to harm the user and do +1 tier damage to them.

If the user possesses the dance of the shikigami jutsu, the paper will move at that technique's speed if being controlled.
    Weaknesses: If the projectile isn't moving, this technique won't do much good and the if being thrown it is unlikely to go very far given clan member's dislike for physical strength.

They are also quite strong and have sharp claws and teeth, sharpness and strength are based on power rank. These tigers are incredibly difficult to stop as, unless completely destroyed, they will simply continue to reform from any damage, though it will cost chakra to reform them  3 for minor damages all 6 for major, and 9 for near total destruction. If tigers are use in conjunction with paper bombs they will not reform upon exploding. After the technique is finished the tigers will return into piles of paper that can be used for other techniques.

The dragon moves at a speed equal to that of the paper used for dance of the shikigami. The dragon can split itself into a max of 3 smaller dragons and it can reform continuously from any attacks done to it, though it will cost chakra to reform them 3 for minor damages all 6 for major, and 9 for near total destruction. Paper bombs can be mixed into the dragon every time it reforms, causing it be able to explode infinitely. The dragon or dragons can fire off a max of 15 paper cranes from its mouth a post total, that means that even if the dragon splits up, the sum total of all the cranes fired from the dragons must equal 15. These cranes travel at the same speed as the dragon, and can be maneuvered through the air by the user, and are able to leave deep gashes and cuts equal to the power and paper bombs can also be mixed into the cranes for more damage. The dragon is slightly smaller than that of the dragon used in the wood dragon technique.
    Weaknesses: A rank fire techniques can completely incinerate the dragon, though any paper bombs in it will go off. Requires pre-existing paper, more than what comes from the dance of the shikigami technique.

    Name: Grand Stage of the Shikigami
    Rank: S
    Power: S
    Activation Cost: 30
    Upkeep Cost: 20

Once set up the user controls the entire battle field, and melds with their paper similar to the dance of the shikigami, and link their senses with the technique. The user will also be able to pass through their created area easily, able to travel from one area to another at jutsu speed while remaining hidden from the likes of sensors and chakra seeing doujustu, as the entire area is covered and made from their chakra. The user can alter the create area into an attack in order to catch enemies off guard. The speed of these attacks and constructs is determined by the capabilities of the paper used for dance of the shikigami. They can also have paper bombs form anywhere on the area at jutsu speed, able to form explosions anywhere in range. If this technique is set up beforehand, people can walk in without even being able to tell their in the user's justu.
    Weaknesses: Needs pre-existing paper dance of the shikigami will not be enough. The user will either have to have paper stored up in a scroll, or use the multiplying paper technique. The user cannot use any justu while in this form except paper, and basic C rank justu. The area is incredibly flammable, A rank fire justu is able to start the whole place on fire.

    +2 Tiers to Speed and Power is way too strong for clan abilities and are denied.

    Having Dance of the Shikigami half the chakra of paper techs is way too strong. Cost reductions also don’t stack, be aware.

    Clarify that the Original Patent ability only applies to paper bomb items, and not jutsu that just describe paper bombs as being used.

    Free Form Manip- Remove mention of power. Freeform manipulation would have to be like the Kazehana (Magnet Release) where they have to rely on either the power of jutsu, or just use the speed and natural ability of the material paper- As this  is likely paired with Dance of the Shikigami, it would likely just use the power of that.

    Paper Dragon increases the speed of all paper techniques, yet most of your paper techniques rely on your free-form manipulation and Intelligence as a result. I would say just remove the mention of boosting speed.

    Water Paper- Change the language from “lowers durability” to “lowers the power”

    Infinitely Exploding Origami Dragon Technique: ```it can reform continuously from any attacks done to it.``` no

    Grand Stage of the Shikigami: This has a range of 0-200m but in the description it says 60. Additionally, the user wouldn’t be able to feel targets if they were in the air, as they wouldn’t be touching. The thing about being able to feel physically from any part of this technique, as if it were their body, is that you would feel pain from the scenery being destroyed as well. Upkeep will need to be 20 instead of 15.

    No instant travel. No instant paper bomb creation.

    Edited everything besides this:
    "Paper Dragon increases the speed of all paper techniques, yet most of your paper techniques rely on your free-form manipulation and Intelligence as a result. I would say just remove the mention of boosting speed"

    This is kinda confusing me because free form is only available to paper angels and not most of the clan who instead rely on dance or the techniques so I am not sure why the speed boost wouldn't be pertinent still.

    What I was trying to get across was that there can't be a speed boost and then the free form manipulation at the same time. If you want to keep the speed boost, make it so that it's either or- You either boost the raw speed of the technique you use, or it works based on free form manipulation.

    Additionally, make it so that the Free form manipulation works based on the user's base Intelligence, which means boosting it won't make your manipulation faster. This is in line with all over free form manipulation clans.

    Clan History/Description
    Existing during the time of the warring states period, the Pnévma are shockingly unknown to most despite playing a pivotal role in a number of conflicts across the ninja world. Believed to have originated from the land of fire as possible distant relatives to the senju, the clan is responsible for the creation of the paper bomb. During this time, they were known to rival the Nara in terms of intellect and were seen as their opposites due to the fact that they had no issue with getting involved in conflicts and used hiden techniques based around physical energy instead of spiritual. Despite their significant contribution to the art of ninja warfare the average ninja would be unaware of their existence as they did not side with any particular clan during the consolidation of power, instead assisting multiple clans across by supplying them with paper bombs and assisting in espionage and assassination missions. The Pnévma were able to keep their clan autonomy by creating contracts with most powerful clans during this period through their most famous clan leader, Tethys Pnévma, was famed as the "The Great Negotiator" for her ability to make deals with all of the major clans. Tethys trades her clan's innovative weapon and information for truces and protection from all of the ruling clans towards the end of the warring states period and was able to avoid extinction or forced assimilation upon the creation of villages.

    Currently the clan operates as a wandering clan, drifting across lands like a sheet of paper in the wind. Despite their wanderer status, members regularly leave and join villages in order to collect information and the clan operates an incredibly extensive spy network throughout all major villages, allowing the clan leader and other elites to be up to date an all current events going on in the ninja world. Members are usually sent to villages very young and tend to stay for generations in order to raise families of future village spies, some spies have never even been to the Pnévma base of operations yet still remain fiercely loyal to the clan with betrayal being unheard of with it being impossible for current members to give out information to others. This spy network is known as "Linden" because despite the fact that members branch out, they remain connected to the base like the branches of a Liden Tree, the symbol of the Pnévma.

    Due to their extreme wealth and use of paper creation, the Pnévma are able to easily set up a place of operations in any terrain and usually station themselves near a particular village for a number of months to renegotiate trade deals and touch base with informants. The clan is easily able to create houses and other buildings out of paper and their natural talent at sensory allows them to avoid intrusion. To this day, the inscription on all paper bombs comes directly from the hidden teachings of the Pnévma and the clan enjoys good relations with all major villages and collects royalties on all paper bomb products sold throughout the world. The clan leader still comes from the original line of Tethys and becomes the head of the paper bomb industry upon adulthood (usually 18) as well as the head of Liden. Along with the clan leader, a board of high ranking clan members, usually elder and stock traders, assist in the running of the business and clan. However, in the last few years tensions have begun to strain as the ninja villages grow more powerful and adversarial to each other, each one attempting to grab more power for themselves, and the delicate autonomy and peace the Pnévma have enjoyed for centuries could be threatened.

    Clan/Bloodline Traits & Characteristics
    The Pnévma are a clan of spies meant to blend in and infiltrate villages, as such they do not possess any defining physical characteristics beyond possessing an unnatural amber eye color. High ranking clan members usually have a tattoo of The Pnévma symbol, the Linden tree, somewhere on their bodies.
    Bloodline Description & Abilities
    Soul of the Shikigami
    Manipulating what is today known as yang release, clan members are able to utilize the physical energy that controls vitality in order to breath life into their chakra and transform it into paper with the trademark technique of the clan being the Dance of the Shikigami. Clan members are able to manipulate any form of paper be it created from them or otherwise, through techniques and are able to imbue physical energy into paper to give it other properties such as increased durability or sharpness. Paper techniques are also naturally strong against riaton based techniques due to non-conductive nature, all paper techniques do one tier higher of damage to raiton techniques. Only the Pnévma know the secrets of performing these special techniques and no one else besides the Pnévma can learn these techniques unless taught by a clan member.

    Paper Crane
    The free starting level for all clan members. Members do not yet have proper mastery over their yang release in order to turn themselves into paper and are limited to paper techniques of C rank and below. Members cannot use paper techniques in wet areas yet. Their enhancing of paper is quite limited and they do not have the capabilities to change the color of their paper for example.
    Paper Tiger-250 EXP
    At this level, clan members are finally able to properly use their paper techniques in combat and obtain the Dance of the Shikigami technique (B-rank) with purchase of this skill and have access to all paper techniques up to A-rank. Members are able to fully manipulate all aspects of the paper they use, such as the color and can link their senses to their paper. At this level, members are now able to create and maintain paper techniques in wet, rainy areas for double the chakra.
    Paper Dragon-500 EXP
    At this level, clan members have mastered their yang release, this is the level all elders and high level members of the clan possess, having access to paper techniques of all ranks. At this level, members have mastered the art of paper folding increasing the speed of all paper techniques by one rank (cannot boost to X). Members no longer have the duration of their paper techniques limited by suiton (though the durability debuff remains), and no longer have to pay double the chakra to maintain techniques in wet areas.
    Paper Angel-500 EXP but limited to clan leaders and those they teach
    A level of mastery with yang release only seen by descendants of Tethys Pnévma, "The Great Negotiator." Clan members who reach this level of mastery are able to create massive quantities of paper easily without much chakra, members are able to use the higher quantity paper techniques without needing a preexisting source. Members who reach this stage are able free form manipulate paper around them at the Speed and Coordination one tier lower than the user's base intelligence stat, this is unaffected by the paper dragon speed boost. Free form manipulation costs 5 stamina points per post and the range for manipulation is a 50 meter radius.

    Original patent
    Members are able to buy 5 paper bombs for the cost of one and do not have a limit to how many they can hold. Members possess the unique chakra of the Pnévma which resonates with their paper bombs increasing the power of all paper bomb items used by them by one tier.

    Natural spy

    Known as rivals to the nara during the warring states period, clan members posses naturally high intellects and analytical abilities coupled with natural talents in espionage. All clan members receive a + to Intelligence and a + to Perception.

    Natural spy level 2-250 EXP
    Clan members have grown as spies, increasing their intelligence by another + and have an easier time discerning genjutsu. Intelligence or Perception requirements for recognizing a Genjutsu are lowered by 1 tier.
    Natural spy level 3-500 EXP
    Clan members have become master spies, increasing their intelligence by another +. Members have a natural resistance to mind reading techniques, like the Psycho Mind Transfer, requiring those that try to read their mind to have a higher intelligence.
    Bloodline Limits & Drawbacks
    Sticky
    Techniques based around oil or other sticky substances make it difficult for clan members to fold and manipulate their paper-lowering the speed of paper techniques by one stage

    Combustible
    Paper is naturally combustible, katon based techniques gain a one tier increase in power when making contact with paper techniques

    Wet Paper
    Until members have adequately trained their paper techniques, forming them in areas with rain or water is difficult. Suiton based techniques lower the power of paper techniques by one when hit and limit their duration to 2 posts. Without training, members cannot form paper techniques in wet areas such as those with heavy rain.

    The One Percent
    Due to generations of wealth, clan members have not had to do as much manual labor, instead looking down on those who choose to practice such forms of fighting. Members are not physically the strongest-members are unable to learn taijutsu above C rank.

These tigers are incredibly difficult to stop as, unless completely destroyed, they will simply continue to reform from any damage, though it will cost chakra to reform them  3 for minor damages all 6 for major, and 9 for near total destruction. If tigers are use in conjunction with paper bombs they will not reform upon exploding. After the technique is finished the tigers will return into piles of paper that can be used for other techniques.

Paper bombs can be mixed into the dragon every time it reforms, causing it be able to explode infinitely. The dragon or dragons can fire off a max of 15 paper cranes from its mouth a post total, that means that even if the dragon splits up, the sum total of all the cranes fired from the dragons must equal 15. These cranes travel at the same speed as the dragon, and can be maneuvered through the air by the user, and are able to leave deep gashes and cuts equal to the power and paper bombs can also be mixed into the cranes for more damage. The dragon is slightly smaller than that of the dragon used in the wood dragon technique.
    Weaknesses: A rank fire techniques can completely incinerate the dragon, though any paper bombs in it will go off. Requires pre-existing paper, more than what comes from the dance of the shikigami technique.

    Name: Grand Stage of the Shikigami

Once set up the user controls the entire battle field, and melds with their paper similar to the dance of the shikigami, and link their senses with the technique. The user will also be able to pass through their created area easily, able to travel from one area to another at jutsu speed while remaining hidden from the likes of sensors and chakra seeing doujustu, as the entire area is covered and made from their chakra. The user can alter the create area into an attack in order to catch enemies off guard. The speed of these attacks and constructs is determined by the capabilities of the paper used for dance of the shikigami. They can also have paper bombs form anywhere on the area at jutsu speed, able to form explosions anywhere in range. If this technique is set up beforehand, people can walk in without even being able to tell their in the user's justu.
    Weaknesses: Needs pre-existing paper dance of the shikigami will not be enough. The user will either have to have paper stored up in a scroll, or use the multiplying paper technique. The user cannot use any justu while in this form except paper, and basic C rank justu. The area is incredibly flammable, A rank fire justu is able to start the whole place on fire.
