Alliance: Neutral
Clan History: The origins of this clan are mostly unknown. The only recognized member being Jugo. Many members of this family were only ever seen berzerking in their stage 3 cursed forms. As such, they were seen as barbaric. Rumors of monsters formed around their presence. However, after the disappearance of Bipolar Jugo, the entire clan fell into obscurity.
Over the course of many years, rumors of monsters and entire villages being destroyed turned into urban legends and myth. Eventually, fables and bed time stories were adapted for children. The members of the Cursed Clan became to the people of the world as unicorns and trolls; fanciful, but ultimately nonexistent.
A few years before the start of the Fifth Great Ninja War, the Chuunin exams were starting. During the third stage of the exam, one fight in particular stood out. A young Chuunin from Iwagakure demonstrated a peculiar ability to change parts of his body. His fighting style became almost feral and his demonstration proved quite the spectacle.
This Chuunin later become involved in a battle at Iwagakure, during the war. With many of the villagers watching, a sound shinobi severely wounded their lord Tsuchikage. This Chuunin, a Rivu Aiasan, gave another spectacle of himself. Going into a rage, his body turned gray, his eyes black and yellow; with amazing strength, the Chuunin dispatched the enemy, rescuing the Tshuchikage and defending the rest of the village from harm.
As of right now, he was the first of the Cursed Ones to appear. It does prove that they at least exist. Rivu Aiasan stands in Iwagakure, standing as a welcoming figurehead for any Cursed One's that may surface.
Clan Leader: Rivu Aiasan
Current Members: Rivu Aiasan
Member Positions: TBD, when more members arise.
Elemental Affinity: Nature, when using Kekkei Genkei abilities.
Kekkei Genkei: The Cursed Ones have the innate ability to absorb nature chakra from their surroundings. This nature
chakra, combined with a naturally occurring enzyme in their bodies, can be used to undergo varying and drastic changes to their bodies. As a result, they can attain different stages of transformation. Increasing in power, however, means also increasing the intake of nature chakra. This causes
the Cursed One to gradually lose their sanity. Each stage must be trained to use effectively, or the effects are far more adverse.
Inherent: The user is always exposed to nature chakra, giving a permanent boost of 10 to Stamina.
Stage One: The user begins to take in more nature chakra that before. As they take it in, their bodies begin to display dark black markings along their body. The specific pattern varies from person to person. At this point, their physical capabilities are increased significantly. At this point, the nature chakra does not negatively affect the user that much.
All physical stats are increased by 25.
Training: 75 XP to master.
If training has not occurred, all physical stats are increased by only 10 and wisdom is reduced by 10. If this drop forces them at or below 10 wisdom, they lose control and are forced to continue to the next stage of the curse. Wisdom will no longer be reduced.
Stage Two: At this stage, the black markings spread and fade to grey at various parts of the users body. Certain parts of the body may significantly alter, based on the Cursed One's will. The eyes turn black with a yellow iris. The nature chakra becomes a bit more versatile at this stage. The Cursed One's body begins to surge with it and, at the will of the user, it can augment their abilities further. At this point, they begin to lose a grip on their mental capacities.
The user gains 75 stat points (maximum of 25 to any given stat) to allocate as they see fit. These bonuses can be rearranged once per post.
Wisdom is reduced by 10. If this drop forces them at or below 10 wisdom, they lose control and are forced to continue to the next stage of the curse. They will also be unable to end the form until the end of the scenario in which it is used. Wisdom will no longer be reduced.
Training: 100 XP to master
If training has not occurred, the available stats are reduced to 25 and wisdom is reduced by 20 and, once arranged, the bonuses may not be redistributed until the end of the topic.
Stage Three: Nature chakra fills the body and begins to alter their physical form directly at the Cursed One's will. The amount of nature chakra flowing through their body is enough to further augment the users physical capabilities. They're bodies can become fully transformed at this point. In addition, they have enough power to devote to an ability. Their wisdom is further decreased. At this stage, only the Cursed One's closest allies are not targets; any and everyone else is an enemy to be taken down.
The user gains 75 stat points (maximum of 25 to any given stat) to allocate as they see fit. These bonuses can be rearranged once per post.
Wisdom is reduced by 10. If this drop forces them at or below 10 wisdom, they lose control and are forced to continue to the next stage of the curse. They will also be unable to end the form until the end of the scenario in which it is used. Wisdom will no longer be reduced.
The Cursed One gains an ability (outlined below)
Training: 200 XP to master
If training has not occurred, the available stats are reduced to 25, wisdom is reduced by 15 and the chosen ability and stat arrangements are maintained for the remainder of the scenario in which they are formed.
Stage Four: At this point, the body has absorbed as much chakra as it can. The Cursed One has enough chakra to further augment their body and maintain an ability. Their mind is so disturbed by it that they lose their sanity. Allies are no longer seen as such; with the exception of very special cases, every single person is an enemy to be attacked.
The Cursed One gains an ability.
This stage, once achieved, is active for 3 posts. After that, the Cursed One must wait until the end of the topic, or until 5 consecutive posts have passed, to use it again.
Training: 400 XP to master
If training has not occurred, this stage can only be active for one post per topic.
Abilities granted by Stage Three can range from flight, body part enhancements that increase stats (up to 25), jutsu empowerment, etc. In order to use a Stage Three ability properly, it will cost of 100 XP in training.
An ability may be used that is not trained, but it halves the available stat points given to the Cursed One by this stage.
Stage Four abilities are identical, except that they must be trained to be used with an already trained Stage Three ability, otherwise, it will not work. For example, if you have wings for your Stage Three, you can train a Stage Four to be used with the wings, but only with those wings. They also cost 100 XP to train.
All XP used to train the stages or abilities must be obtained while using a cursed form.
