Name: Akira Clan
Founder: Ichiro Aoi
Location: Konohagakure no Sato

History: Once upon a time, a samurai, Hiroshi Aoi and a kunoichi, Hitomi Akira fell in love with each other and eventually married. Soon after, they had a son named Ichiro who had a big decision in either following his father’s footsteps in becoming a samurai or following his mother’s in becoming a ninja. Eventually, Ichiro decided upon becoming a ninja, taking in his mother’s maiden name to signify this, and mixing his father’s Kenjutsu with his mother’s ninjutsu.

Over his older years, Ichiro "Akira" started to revolutionize the Kenjutsu Arts into the land of shinobi, using as a landscape for his method of actions. Over these years, Ichiro also studied abruptly into combining the arts in an even further way, first starting off by making his first chakra conductive blade and eventually making a living off of selling these types of high ranking swords.

The practice of making these blades was also brought down from generation to generation until eventually the secret was stolen from the clan and spread all across the ninja world. The fact that the secret was stolen brought on a competition across the lands about making the best swords to make the best money and then the whole meaning of it was changed until a clan member found a way to make an even closer combination between a shinobi and their swords by making swords unique to their user at birst but this time, the secret was only meant for the clan to prevent a repeat of history.

At some point in history, many years before the current time, several members of the clan was sent on an invasion in which they were to assist in the neutralization of demons, not to be confused with the Tailed Beasts. During the war between demons and shinobi, a clan member by the name of Kyousuke Akira, who excelled in the art of Fuunjutsu, granted a plan in which they would weaken the demons and seal them within specially made blades. Within a time of desperation, this idea was granted as an official plan so the Akira clan had gotten to work on these seals & blades. After some time, they had finally succeeded in weakening & sealing the hundreds of demons within these swords. The Akira clan then took possession of the weapons and kept them sealed and stored deep within the Akira Clan's estates.

Akira Blades

Traditionally, when a child within the Akira Clan is of age, they are taken deep within the Akira Estates and into the secret storage where the "Demon Blades" are kept. From then on, the clan member has the choice of selecting any one of the blades of their choosing. One detail that is notable is that most clan members also report that when they choose a blade handed down from generation to generation, they feel as if they are drawn to the weapon rather than simply being appealed to it, as if the weapon was choosing them instead. After the selection process is finished, the blade is then augmented with a sample of the wielder's chakra and the sealed demon becomes somewhat of a partner towards the user, becoming their main weapon, normally for the rest of the member's life.

After the blade is chosen, the demon sealed within the weapon typically becomes a type of partner towards the wielder, dependent on their relationship as well as grant him/her additional abilities using it. Before the weapon user is able to reach those stage, they will first have to connect with their demon partner. This is achieved by the wielder evolving through training and utilizing their weapon as much as possible, basically "spending time with your partner".

There are several steps to complete connection between an Akira blade and the wielder. The first step is awareness (D), to which the wielder is aware of the sudden separated feeling between his/herself and their blade. The next step is communication (C), where the user is able to hear the thoughts of their weapon and communicate. Step three is interaction, where the wielder and sword begin to interact and work together in and out of battle(B). Step four is submission, where the wielder takes command over his/her sword and gains great control over it (A). The fifth and final step that no Akira Clan member has been reported to obtain is unification, where the sword and the wielder are no longer to separate beings and the entirety of the blade's mental traits (i.e personality) are implanted into the user, essentially making them a "new person" (S).

*Note: The capitalizes letters within the parenthesis represents the letter rank the user has to be to reach this level of connection.

Requirements: Birth | Main specialty : Kenjutsu
Current Members:
Ayame Akira

Name of Jutsu: Teikei
Rank: C
Users: Akira Clan
Type of Jutsu::

Training Link:
Description: This clan related skill allows the clan member to completely fix their broken Akira sword with but a high supply of their chakra in a matter of seconds by connecting the blade back together with their chakra as the medium. However, the entire process doesn’t happen instantly but takes approximately a minute (3 posts) to become fully powered and will instead be ranked a rank lower than the current user until the process is complete. This, however, can only be done if the user possesses all of the metal for the broken section/weapon, otherwise, they will need to have their own material.

Name of Jutsu: Telekinesis

Type of Jutsu:: Secret Clan
Element Affinity: N/A
Training Link: -
Description: Should the user be within distance of their Akira blade, he/she will be able to call onto it by holding out a hand and concentrating the chakra within ones blade to the point of retracting it. This jutsu requires an E rank of chakra to use but it does require the member to have their sword at an B rank level or higher.
B - 15 meters
A - 20 meters

Name of Jutsu: Tsukuru
Rank: A
Users: Akira Clan
Type of Jutsu:: Secret Clan Jutsu
Element Affinity: N/A
Training Link:
Description: This ability allows the clan member to materialize their chakra into their birth given sword should it be destroyed. Like the Teikei ability, this blade will be weaker but unlike its processor, it will be 2 ranks weaker than the user for 2 posts and then a rank weaker for another before the process is complete. Multiple blades shouldn’t be made for it would be too complicated of a process to do, though it isn’t impossible, it has never been known to be done.


Name of Jutsu: Bakyaku
Rank: S
Users: Akira Clan [Ayame Akira & Kenji Akira]
Type of Jutsu:: Secret Clan
Element Affinity: N/A [Can vary]
Training Link:
Description: This skill is the greatest skill an Akira clan member can learn and is only known by dedicated masters of the Heritage. There are only five members that have been known to even know this skill and only two [Keiji & Reiji Akira] to have completely mastered it. This skill activates the full potential of the Akira Blade into the form of a changed blade and appearance, upgrading their strength in accordance to their will level and experience.

Clan Traits:
-The Art of Kenjutsu
Due to focusing much more on Kenjutsu and physical arts than the average shinobi, members of this clan tend to have an immense amount of skill when it comes to attack speed. Because of this, their Kenjutsu prowess is regarded as some of the best this world has to offer. As such, every member of this clan's ability in the Kenjutsu arts, sheathing of the blade, attacking speed and strength, etc. is increased by 15%.

-Blacksmith (Enhanced)
Due to a strict law of continuing to the tradition and secrets of the blades, members of this clan have at least the basic knowledge on most materials, even the rare ones that are seen in only the strongest weapons. They also have the tendency to be just just a top notch above the average blacksmith of their level, giving many clan members reputation as top blacksmiths of the world, providing them with better quality weapon creations than the next blacksmith.

Hnn approved unless said otherwise, understanding that Bakyaku requires further explanation with each individual as the technique is unique from person to person.

Unapproved- Given the specific nature of the Clan's swords [in relation to Tsukuru and Bakyaku] this will need a KKG and/or a more expansive explanation on their abilities in relation to the swords.

Would a more expansive explanation of the swords and their mechanics themselves suffice?

Seems likely

Bump

Overall the idea seems flawed to me. I fail to see how taking DNA and chakra and combining it with metal to create the sword can make the actual sword evolve over time and later become its own entity. Typically with something like this one would have take a spirit of another entity and seal it within a blade. Maybe then it could evolve over time and the being within could eventually become unlocked and unify itself with its user. Like they could give each other their spiritual energy if you get what I mean or maybe chakra. If they lended energy/chakra then it would be a good reason for the user to gain strength and power. Get what I mean?

Other than that, in the steps it takes to unify with the sword, I feel there should be a more detailed explanation as to how much experience the RPer must have. Say for instance they need to at least C rank to even begin to grow awareness of the separation between them and the blade. This way other members who may want to be apart of this clan won't try to accomplish all the steps in a few days or so.

Saihatsu - Although you combust the chakra, how exactly could the blade reform seeing as how it is made out of both chakra AND metal. To me this requires a sort of metal control as well.
