Seinaru

Bloodline: Junsuina Kaminari: Holy Lightning

Bloodline Ability: The Seinaru are the second of the unique races in the world of Province and as such are significantly different to both regular humans and the Henkaku. The Seinaru are believed to be literal 'gods' that fall from the heavens above to reside on the earth. Seinaru are not born like regular people, instead they descend as infants already capable of speech to select families of 'Guardians' that dot the world. These Guardians raise the Seinaru children like regular humans within the villages they inhabit and do not reveal their ward's heritage until they reach the age of 11 where they are given a choice to either learn to harness their abilities and better the world or return to their original home. Those that return are never heard from while those who remain go through the equivalent of the ninja academy and join a village's ninja force upon completing this course at the age of 14.

The Seinaru consider themselves to be the 'ultimate being' and posses an unlimited source of power. Unlike humans who draw upon their own chakra, or the Henkaku who have no resource aside from their own genetic potential, the Seinaru constantly draw energy from the substance of all things. This allows the Seinaru to use their techniques an unlimited number of times and are only constrained by their own cooldowns and rules. As a result the Seinaru techniques function differently to both Jutsu and Morphs. Because of this they cannot use chakra and as a result have to follow a few rules.

1. They cannot use jutsu, nor can they learn any technique that requires chakra.
2. When creating a character no specilisations can be taken and the only element able to be listed it "Junsuina Kaminari"
3. Any hostile techniques that require chakra to be spent can be paid at a half cost with charge.

The Seinaru have only a few techniques which all start at D rank at the beginning of any given topic. As the topic progresses and more techniques are used these techniques will 'Ascend', becoming more powerful and higher ranked versions of themselves. Once the Seinaru hit the limit of absorbed energy (dependant on rank) they are able to use a more powerful version of their technique once, doing so uses up their stored energy and resets their techniques to their base forms. The energy limits and rate at which it charges are detailed below, along with special rules assigned to each rank of Seinaru.

Playing as the Seinaru: The Seinaru are vastly different to other clans and even to regular shinobi and as such have a very unique playstyle. To help you understand how to make the best out of the Seinaru this short segment will detail what you should keep in mind when making one. The Seinaru are all about weighing up your options and deciding where to spend power and when, their greatest strength is that they have an unlimited store of power and can use an endless stream of techniques. While this may seem strong at first glance you will undoubtedly notice that your power is limited depending on how you manage your charged up energy. As a Seinaru you are faced with the decision to either hold onto your charged energy for the bonus it provides or use it to access your most powerful techniques, deciding what to do when is crucial to playing successfully with the Seinaru. Be aware that when you use these more powerful techniques you are forced to resort to weaker forms of these techniques while your power recharges once more, sometimes it can be beneficial to simply hold onto the stored energy for later.

Clan History: They say when that when the world was created three forces struggled for power, darkness, light and the angles who joined both sides. These early wars are lost to the overwhelming decay of time until there is nothing more than whispered tales of legends half forgotten a millennium ago. The Seinaru are believed to be literal 'gods' that fall from the heavens above to reside on the earth. Seinaru are not born like regular people, instead they descend as infants already capable of speech to select families of 'Guardians' that dot the world. These Guardians raise the Seinaru children like regular humans within the villages they inhabit and do not reveal their ward's heritage until they reach the age of eleven, when they regale their ward's with the Seinaru's secret history. The Seinaru live in a world above our own, invisible to all, in fact what we perceive as the sky is actually the lowest tier of their kingdom, hidden by an incredibly powerful technique. In the ancient war long ago the Seinaru won, claiming their place as the overlords of the world and claiming the title of 'gods'. In the millenia that followed the Seinaru lived idyllic lives with no conflict, no strife as they watched over both the Humans and their ancient nemesis the Henkaku. When the age of the shinobi began the Seinaru had begun to decay, their ancient cities so magnificent had become cesspools of immorality, crime and poverty. A civil war had begun in the heavens hidden from the world of men and in a year of outright warfare the Seinaru came close to destroying even themselves. It was during this time they began sending their children to the world below, both to protect them and to harden them so they could return to continue the war above. These chosen children would live amongst the shinobi for years, learning and growing stronger until the day they would decide to return home. In the most secret meetings the Seinaru they speak whispered words of a truth so important that they have kept it hidden for generations, they are the worlds light, raised to the heavens after their struggle for dominion in the ancient past of the world's creation. In this time they watch and wait, terrified that the world of men below will discover their weakness and rise up once more in a war for dominion.
