Name: Kurogane
Founder: Unknown
Location: Kumogakure

History:
One hundred years ago the Kurogane clan once lived on an island three miles off the coast of the Mist Village. They were a small village known as the Beast Village, which took up a fifth of the whole island, which could be more considered a continent like Australia almost. The village was located on the shore of the land and was then surrounded by trees that were about five stories tall. A few miles in land from the trees, they would become less and less till you reached a hot Savannah. The Savannah didn't go out far but led to a long desert. A few miles through the desert, you would start to see mountains. A mile from the desert the land will start to change from desert, to rocky, to snow covered. Snow continuously falls around these mountains which are about as tall as mount Everest and taller.

Some scientists in the Kurogane clan experimented with animals deep in the woods, desert, and mountains. They crossbred genes and even created new species. But one day when the leader of the village found out, he sent his best shinobi to shut these places down. But something went wrong. The animals got loose. They were stronger and faster than normal animals.

The ones that found the forest as their home began attacking the village one night. This surprise attack had caused many of the citizens to die. Only a few were able to escape the village and get to other land. Though no one seemed to care, they were just glad to be rid of the clan they called Demons. However, the Kurogane clan were not Demons. They're bloodline just got them the nickname Demon.

The Kurogane clan were well known for their strength and speed. They were exceptionally skilled in taijutsu and kenjutsu. They were also good for assassination and top secret scouting missions. The Kurogane clan founded the Beast Village and
denied forming alliances with other villages, for the Beast Village did not approve of war or unnecessary violence. They fought to protect others, not to fight wars and gain land or power.

A few years later, a man known as Ryota Kurogane reformed the Kurogane clan in Kumogakure. He had traced back family ties and found those with the bloodline. He brought them to the village and from there the clan grew. The clan is still small but it is slowly becoming bigger.

Description:
All members of the Kurogane clan are born with the ability to control all five of their senses. An example of which is going from normal vision to being able to see as if looking through binoculars. Another example is by going from normal vision, or smell, or hearing, to where they go to as if they are blind, deaf, or have no sense of smell. Same with being able to feel the slightest touch or being to where they feel nothing at all. These are advantages in fighting as well as disadvantages. And advantage would be like being able to over hear from a distance or scouting an area, or detecting poison, or being unable to feel the pain of an attack. A disadvantage would be like as if they had their sense of hearing high and then an explosion went off, or something foul smelling was in the air, or not being able to feel any damage on their body so they would not know how much damage they are in. (The range these enhanced senses have is up to 2m once they reach B rank in skill.)

The Kurogane also has an animal spirit, which is takes the shape of their animal as their birth mark. The animal spirit is key to their transformations because their characteristics take after that of their animal spirit along with their attitude. Their personality is even similar to that of their animal.

The Kurogane bloodline also has two "transformation" stages to them. But these two stage can only be unlocked under certain extreme circumstances and have a very serious side effect. After the transformation has been unlocked, they can freely transform at will.

1st Transformation: The Kurogane clan's first transformation is unlocked when they are about to die. In this transformation the person takes minor characteristics to their animal spirit. An example of which are markings and increase or decrease in size, nothing too tall, maybe a foot or so. Also, slight transformations like sharp teeth, sharp pointed nails, etc. Also, with most transformations, the person strength, speed, stamina, and endurance are doubled.

2nd Transformation: The Kurogane clan's second transformation is unlocked when someone they care about is close to being killed or something similar and they are too weak to do anything about it. In this transformation the person's characteristics are much more detailed to their animal spirit. An example would be an increase or decrease in size, nothing too tall, maybe a foot or so. Also, they may get a tail, have more teeth, fur, or even parts of their bodies change shape. An example would be like their fingers join together or their legs join together to form a merperson like tail. The stats that were originally doubled in their first transformation is further doubled.

Side Effects: The main side effect is that with them being able to only go into their states with a high adrenaline rush, as soon as their adrenaline slows they revert back to normal. Once they have reverted back to normal they become unconscious. Depending on how much damage they've taken and how much they have done will determine how long they are unconscious. This is because they have pushed their body beyond its limits and it allows their body to go under a healing process. This could take hours or even months. (Injuries that require a healing topic in which to recover from: Loss of limbs, Major burns or over wide spread damage, Use of the first transformation for more than 15 posts, use of the second transformation for more than 10 posts.)

Another side effect is that when they transform, they lose their mind to their beast spirit's instincts.They still have a strong sense of decision in their first transformation, but they become more wild in their second transformation. It is possible to gain stronger control over themselves rather than their instincts being in control, but this takes a lot of intense training. Usually taking years just for some mild control over their transformations.

Normally, you have to have at least minor control over your first transformation to unlock the second transformation. But in rare times, the second transformation can be unlocked, but this is only at the threat of their life and the life of someone they care about to be at risk.

The clan is exceptionally skilled in Taijutsu and Kenjutsu. Though the clan's chakra type varies between Earth, Fire, and Wind normally.



Type: Control Over the 5 Senses
Conditions: Born with it.
Effects: The Kurogane clan member has control over their fives senses. They can make their five senses increase or decrease. An example would be increasing your eye site to see long distances, increasing smell to smell poison or far away things, increasing hearing to hear whispers or talking from another building, or decreasing your sense of touch so you won't feel pain from an attack. You can also make it to where you decrease your senses making you blind, deaf, or even unable to taste. Though these each have a downside. An example would be a bright flash of light would temporarily blind a person making them unable to see even with control over their site, a loud noise would harm ones ears drastically if they had their hearing increased, or unable to feel how much damage they have taken making them unable to know when they should stop or if they have broken something.
Duration: It can be used whenever, but takes 1 post to change 1 sense.
Ranges:
E-D = .5 mile
C-B = 1 Mile
A = 1.5 Miles
S = 2 Miles

Type: First Transformation
Conditions: The first transformation can only be unlocked by having a near death experience, in which a true reason for survival is needed. An example would be to save someone or to protect someone. After being unlocked, the transformation may be accessed at will, but it still has the same risks. It also can be mastered, but the instincts are still there and will try and fight the user. However, most of the time, the instincts are what you should truly follow in order to win and survive.
Effects: In this transformation the person takes minor characteristics to their animal spirit. An example of which are markings and increase or decrease in size, nothing too tall, maybe a foot or so. Also, slight transformations like sharp teeth, sharp pointed nails, etc. Also, with most transformations, the person strength, speed, stamina, and endurance are doubled. A downside to all this is that when they revert to normal they become unconscious so their body can undergo a healing process. How long they are unconscious depends on how much damage they have taken anall they have done in their state. The first transformation usually lasts from an hour to a few weeks in the healing process. Another downside is that with all this, they go into more of a primal instinct state rather than being able to keep their full sanity. Though in the first transformation they are able to keep most of their sanity and decision making.
Duration: The person can be in the first transformation state for as long as their adrenaline is pumping.

Type: Second Transformation
Conditions: The conditions to unlock the second transformation is similar to that which unlocks the first transformation. However, to unlock the second transformation you not only need to have to be near death, but so does another that you truly, deeply care about. Not just some random love. Someone you truly, deeply love. Or a village you care about or multiple people are about to be destroyed or seriously harmed. After being unlocked the transformation can be accessed at will. With enough training, the transformation's instincts can be held back from controlling the body so the person is more in control of the power.
Effects: In this transformation, the person's characteristics are much more detailed to their animal spirit. An example would be an increase or decrease in size, nothing too tall, maybe a foot or so. Also, they may get a tail, have more teeth, fur, or even parts of their bodies change shape. An example would be like their fingers join together or their legs join together to form a merperson like tail. The stats that were originally doubled in their first transformation is further doubled. Theside effects are the same as the first transformation's. However. The primal instincts are much stronger than in the first transformation. Also, the time that is normally passed before they awaken is somewhere between a day and a couple months.
Duration: The duration is the same as the first transformations.

Jutsu: None.
