:INFORMATION:
(1) The Tsubasa Clan is an old clan that is in charge of protecting the Land of the Wings from danger. Each member of the clan is trained from child to adulthood to fight and defend. There are levels of ninja in the Tsubasa Clan system similar to the ways of the rest of the ninja world.
Lowest is Miro-nin or Achedemy students. They train until they can master basic jutsus such as Transformation Technique, Rope Escpae Technique, Body Replacement Technique, and Clone Technique.
Second lowest is Jokin-nin or Genin. When a Miro-nin masters the basic jutsus (Some special students train from masters as apprentices, they don't attend the achedemy), they are given the Land of the Wings hitai-ate, or headband. Like genin, they do hard work, rarely ever 'real' ninja work and spend most of their time honing their skills.
Third level is Mimo-nin, the level between Genin and Chunnin. When a Tsubasa is able to summon their weapon, they advance to Mimo-nin. They get harder missions that test their strengths as they advance into more difficult training. This level usually lasts for at least a year or so.
Fourth level is Nazin-nin, Chunnin. When a Tsubasa masters the more advanced training, they move into Nazin-nin. These nin are able to lead other ninja, teaching them and becoming bosses or teachers themselves. The larger half of the Tsubasa Clan do not stop at this level though, only those who believe they cannot continue training. These nin do 'real' ninja work very rarely, only sent to battle when absolutely needed. These nin are usually found around achedemies or training others.
Fifth level is Otao-nin, or Jonin in their beginning years, somewhere around ANBU in their later years. When a Tsubasa is able to tap into their bird spirit's power, they are immediatly declared Otao-nin. Most members of the clan stop at this level, settling into the level and creating their own jutsus, gaining more power and harnessing it. Controlling their abilities comes second, though, to completing missions that they are given. These missions are more difficult than Nazin-nin missions and usually involve more powerful people to complete the job. When a Otao-nin is able to harness their power to a good level, they are somewhere around ANBU and given more specific missions or placed as security and bodyguards.
The final level is Nemni-nin, somewhere around S-class nin or ANBU. This level usually includes the most of the Clan leaders, very rarely any other members of the Tsubasa Clan. These nin only become where they are by showing that they can use the full powers of their bird spirit and able to control it. Nemni-nin are ninja who prove that they are exceptionally powerful, strong and capable of anything. Nemni-nin are classified as specialists in their area, including assasination, torture and tactics. The Clan Heir, as well as the House Heirs, are expected to enter the level of Nemni-nin or are deemed failiures.
Tsubasa medic-nin are of four levels.
Mikja-nin: Beginner medic-nin
Jungya-nin: Intermidiate medic-nin
Dana-nin: Advanced medic-nin
Noma-nin: Master medic-nin
(2) In the Third House, members use jutsu's that include shadows. A typical Third House member uses their chakra and combines it with their own shadow so they have complete control over it. An average Third House member uses these shadows to sap chakra from an opponent nin to use for other purposes. For experts, like Manni and Riku, they use their shadows to sap chakra out of opponents to make their shadows larger and stronger. Using their more powerful shadow, they twist their chakra to mold into different shapes.
Riku uses a particular technique that molds his shadow into various weapons to throw at opponents. Manni uses this technique to turn into raw shards or arrows to pierce an opponent. These weapons can be used to pin and opponent own or kill them, depending on it's creator. If needed, they revert back to their original forms at it's master's will.
These techniques make the Third House the perfect assasins. Some Third House nin, like Sohlum, tip their twisted shadows with poison for swift kills.
(3) Fourth House members are naturally gifted in physical strength and speed. They combine these natural gifts with chakra, giving them enhanced abilites. These abilities make Fourth House members choice soldiers, perfect for charging into battle and very good backup.
Fourth House members are also masters at Earth based jutsus because of the time they spend in forests and living in the wild. A small number of the Fourth House nin, only highly advanced members, are able to summon large trees or forests if needed.
(4) Sin-Lin, because of a dog obsessed father, is bonded to three nin-dogs, Siberia, Malaysia and Tibet. These three nin-dogs also have the ability to turn into woodpeckers (Sin-Lin's bird spirit) because their master is bonded to that particular spirit. Sin-Lin uses her dogs in battle similar to Kiba. If needed, she uses various jutsus with them to enhance their abilites and senses.
(5) Members of the Fifth House are blessed with physical strength more powerful than thatof Fourth House members. An average member of the Fifth House has natural physical strength equal to a Fourth House member's with chakra supporting it. Fifth House members use this physical strength to defeat their opponents, using basic taijutsu. Their natural endurace is high, making them good at pure one-on-one spars with no chakra.
Members of the Fifth House have some control of sand, being surrounded by it for most of their lives. By infusing various amounts of chakra into the sand, they can use it to harden around their bodies for a slightly durable and useful armor or to stun an opponent for a short amount of time. They also have some degree of control over wind, using wind based jutsus to enhance the power of their punches and kicks.
Yuri, being bonded to the spirit of the vulture, has power over sand almost in par with Gaara's. While Gaara's is soaked in blood, however, her's is soaked in the chakra of herself and her opponents.
(6) Yuri is bonded to the spirit of th vulture and in turn, holds powers over the things of the vulture. One being that of sand, the other of a special breed of snakes. In the Forest of Chaos that surrounds the Land of the Wings, lies many dangerous species, including the very rare species called the Albino Boa Cobra. It is a special breed of reptile, a cross between a boa constrictor and a cobra.
It is highly intelligent and only listens to those it knows is more powerful. It's fangs holds poison that ensures a painful death in a minute at most. Vultures are the only creatures they truely respect, although they somewhat respect Setsuna and phoenix also. For that reason, Yuri is able to communicate and command albino boa cobras without having to fear them. Her connection to these reptiles make it so that her whip is able to turn into an albino boa cobra at her command.
(7) The Tsubasa kekkei genkai is the blue tint in their eyes. The kekkei genkai, is an imitation of the Byakkugan and the Sharingan, but a weak one. When this kekkei genkai is activated, the user's eyes turn blue, and they are able to see the chakra levels and critical details of a certain person or motion. The power of the kekkei genkai is split into two main different jutsus.
The first being the Tsubasa Mimicry Jutsu. When activated, the Tsubasa's eyes turn blue and they copy the first jutsu or action that they witness. This jutsu, however, varies on how well the user is able to pick up the details of the jutsu, and the results can be poor if the user is not aware of something crucial or excellent if they pay attention to every detail and action and mimic's it perfectly. Mastering this jutsu is a must for every member of the clan, required to be accepted as a true member of the clan.
The second jutsu, and more difficult one, is the Tsubasa Imitation Jutsu. This jutsu is a larger, more powerful version of the Mimicry Jutsu and very difficult to master. When activated, the Tsubasa's eyes turn blue and they copy the first jutsu or action they see. The difference between this jutsu and the Mimicry one is that this jutsu is able to copy more powerful jutsu and, in the power of a true master, able to copy kekkei genkai.
The user of the Imitation Jutsu, however, has to pay attention to every spot, every motion, every action and how much chakra used and executed to imitate kekkei genkai, though, and incredibly difficult to do. If the user wishes to copy the kekkei genkai of a Hyuuga or an Uchiha, they must maintain direct eye contact and memorize and copy every detail in the other's eyes. Every ounce of chakra used must be copied and used to the last drip and every motion but be the same, or else disasters may occur. If done correctly, the user is able to activate a bloodlimit equal in power to that of the Hyuuga or Uchiha or a jutsu identical to that of the other.
There are side effects to the Imitation Jutsu, as well as the Mimicry if the jutsu is too advanced for the user. These side effects vary on the jutsu or kekkei genkai, how much energy was spent by the Tsubasa, if there were any mistakes, and how long the jutsu or kekkei genkai was used. An example of this would be Manni, who imitated Neji's Byakugan and used it for a bit longer than planned. The effects of the Imitation Jutsu rendered her blind for several minutes and confusion to her mind.
