Kage-Hebi- Hidden Serpents

[Wolfy]

Not everyone agrees upon the origin of the Kage Hebi, but a popular rumor seems to be common enough to be held as truth; during thetimes before refined ninjutsu and the birthing of the ninja arts by the Six Path Sage, a rather mad scientist that possessed an intellect ahead of his time began tampering with chakra and the alternation of humans to fit certain traits of the animal kingdom. Although many failed, a certain species seemed to consistently yield positive results for the doctor - snakes.

By splicing genes of humans with that of snakes, and letting one's chakra system assimilate the change and adapt to it, the name had successfully created a small family of 'snake people'. Unfortunately, rumors of his experiment broke free, and the town's angry mob burnt his dark mansion down, which house his laboratory and his subjects. it is said he burnt with all the creations, but some say a few escaped.

To this day, only a handful appear. But when they are, their power blooms full, and they remind the world of the supremacy of the snake. Amongst the Kage-Hebi is a strongly respected and defended belief that their origins were not from the hand of some curious brainiac, but from the God of Snakes themselves. Believing to be of royal blood, all bloodline members hold themselves in high esteem, and are not afraid to strike down those whom they feel have wronged them. It is said the worst thing to say to a Kage-Hebi would be regarding the "fable" of their origins - the scientific one, of course.

Regardless, origin does not matter, for the last Shinobi World War has leff the world in shambles. With the 'reset' button pressed on the world, the surviving Kage-Hebi have slithered back into the bright light of the sun, ready to face their new reality with the same tenacity that allowed them to survive all the madness before.

Because of their snaky nature, as well as the prejudice they've faced before, Kage-Hebi are not naturally inclined towards group settings.

MASTERY

[/b][/u]: Due to their unique bodies, the Kage-Hebi have an innate ability to soften the damage from blunt-force trauma by quickly making the impacted area more malleable than natural. And while they aren't able to eliminate the force entirely, they're able to substantially hinder the damage caused by the attack in question (this does not work on slicing or piercing abilities).


-Tier 2 - Silent Predator: One of the most lethal aspects of a snake is the fact that you never hear them coming; you never know they're there until it's too late. Calling upon their more "primal" instincts, the Kage-Hebi can enter a state of "absolute" stealth. With this, they can silently move closer to a target (up to 3 meters) without being noticed. Due to the strain this puts on the body, it can only be used once every three turns.


-Tier 3 - Venomous: Kage-Hebi are renowned for their snake-esque physiques, including the variety of poisons that snakes have at their disposal. While the kage-hebi cannot use them all, due to their human DNA, they have acquired the ability to develop three new very unique poisons exclusive solely to their clan. These poisons can be applied via a bite, or by inflicting damage with a weapon that has been coated in the substance.

[/b] This unique poison slowly corrupts a victim's chakra flow, severely dampening the power of their ninjutsu (reducing all enemy ninjtusu-based damage by one tier while doubling the chakra cost [ a mid costing technique would cost x2 Mid, et cetera ].

Nidokueki: The complete opposite of shodokueki, Nidokueki focuses more so on crippling a victim's body. From the moment the poison enters the victim's body, the suffer a 25% mobility loss. This drain continues for three additional turns (after the implant), until the victim enters a state of full paralysis for one full post.

Sandokueki: Arguably the strongest poison that the Kage-Hebi have at their disposal, this specific poison can actually be launched toward the victim. This poison is incredibly corrosive, capable of melting through even the toughest of steel (one post; half a post for lesser substances [wood, flesh, et cetera]). However, due to how corrosive this poison is, the Kage-Hebi can only employ it threetimes per thread. Using it once more will result in the user being unable to perform this poison conjuration until they are healed (by a PC medic); likewise, using it twotimes over their limit will result in the user's immediate death.

These three unique poisons retain their lesser kin's property, in the sense that the only cure known is the Kage-Hebi's blood. Medical techniques (such as remove poison) take twice the effort (double chakra) to remove them.
