SONG (Magic Ink)

[Jae]

song

The history of the Song Clan starts with an ancient folktale of Aneun Sumi and his Magic Brush. The story tells of a poor but talented painter- Aneun Sumi – who received a magic paintbrush from a traveling sage. This paintbrush gave life to anything painted with it. The young boy used it to help his fellow villagers survive under the tyrannical rule of a greedy emperor.

As time passed, so did this story, and the family name Sumi became Song. Some elements of the tale are true, and members of the Song Clan are talented artists with the ability to bring their illustrations to life.

The clan has no true hierarchy, and members often lead simple and quiet lives. The Song believes art is an expression of freedom, and the ability to create in peace is a core tenet of theirs.

Joining the Song requires a Clan trait.

Chōjū Giga (Super Beast Imitating Drawing)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Description: The Super Beast Imitating Drawing is a technique that allows the clan member to animate ink drawings, which act upon the user's will. Using chakra-infused ink, the user can quickly and expertly draw objects onto their scroll. The moment the brush is removed from the scroll, the images leap from the paper, grow to life-size, and act according to the user's will. Because they are made of ink, a single blow is usually enough to dispel them. For discreet communiques while undercover, the clan member is able to turn the words he writes into small animals, allowing them to travel unnoticed to the intended target, after which the ink animal requires a scroll to revert back into written information. In addition to the animals normally created, the user can produce explosive tags.

Sumigasumi no Jutsu (Ink Mist Technique)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: The clan member wraps their body in chakra-infused ink to hide themselves and their overall physical presence, creating an effective smokescreen. When used in combination with the Body Flicker Technique, the user can quickly leave the battlefield without being noticed.



Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu (Ink Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: A clan secrert technique that infuses chakra into the user's ink in order to form a clone of the user. If struck, the ink clones revert back to plain ink.



Sumi Nagashi (Ink Flush)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Description: By directly pouring out their ink onto the surface before them, rather than using it to draw, the clan member can quickly mass produce a large amount of creatures at once, such as a nest of snakes to attack the target, or a handful or larger beasts meant to rush their target and overwhelm them. This is used when stylistic art is of no concern, and the clan member needs to get off an attack rather quickly due to an unforeseen circumstance.



Fūinjutsu: Koshi Tandan (Sealing Technique: Tiger Vision Staring Bullet)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: After the user draws a gigantic tiger, the illustration extends from the scroll and while still connected, captures its prey with its teeth and claws, before dragging the victim back into the scroll and pinning them down within the confines of the drawing. Due to the enormity of the illustration, the user requires an extended period of time to complete the image, during which they need protection as their attention is devoted to drawing. It is said that to make this technique stronger, the clan member would have to make use of their emotions. If the user is consumed by negative emotions, their eyes turn black, their pupils will turn red, and they will secrete a dark substance from their eyes and mouth. Although this is technically a sealing technique, since it is hijutsu belonging to the Song clan, it does not require the user to possess the 'Universal Ninjutsu - Sealing' trait.



Sumi Suiho Daibakuhatsu (Ink Bubble Explosion)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Description: After designing a set of bubbles onto their scroll, the clan member brings them to life, sending a rush of ink bubbles toward their enemies, who are subsequently encased in the bubbles until more and more merge, creating one large bubble, which then appears to fill up with black liquid ink. Once full, the bubble then pops in a black inky splash, obliterating them and, if enough force is used, leaves no sign of a corpse behind.



Chōjū Giga: Hakubyō (Super Beast Imitating Drawing: White Sketch)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Description: After the clan member employs their Super Beast Imitating Drawing, they are able to create several beasts at once to attack their target. By default, the clan member can create three medium sized lions and a large hawk. The lions hit the opponent rapidly and send them upward, where the hawk waits and fires a barrage of razor sharp ink feathers at the opponent, covering them in ink and sending them crashing into the ground. If the user wishes to invest more chakra into this technique, they can increase the amount of tigers and hawks that are produced.



Chōshin Giga (Super God Imitating Drawing)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Description: Often employed in one-to-one combat, the user is able to bring forth massive and powerful entities known as 'gods' from ancient text and lore. Boasting greater power than the Super Beast Imitating Drawing, each creation can quickly deliver deadly blows capable of easily destroying stone and the terrain. Because these drawings draw on the emotions of the user, the angrier they become, the more powerful the drawings become.
