Clan Creation

Insignia:

Group color: #CC0066

Population Count: 100

Head of Household: n/a (as of yet)

Settlement Location: Hi no Kuni

History: The Akimichi clan (Akimichi Ichizoku) is one of the four most powerful clans of Hi no Kuni, with a long line of family heads. The Akimichi clan has a special relationship with the Nara and Yamanaka clan. For generations, members of these three families have formed "Ino–Shika–Chō" trios, named after the first part of the names of the members with the Akimichi members being the "Chō" in the trio. To strengthen the unity between the three clans, a member of the Sarutobi clan will give them special earrings to present to each generation head when they've come of age after which they will swear their oaths. The earrings also symbolize that they are considered adults by their respective clans.

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait name: Calorie Control "Karorī Kontorōru"/Expansion Jutsu "Baika no Jutsu"

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Trait: This ability grants members of the Akimichi clan free control of their body's calories — which they convert into chakra in order to perform their techniques. At the highest level of the technique, the user converts calories into chakra and releases the chakra in the shape of two large butterfly wings (Butterfly Mode). In this form, the user can use some of their clan's high-level techniques, such as the Butterfly Bullet Bombing technique several times without experiencing fatigue or other adverse effects. The user still experiences weight loss but it isn't nearly as severe as when the pills are used.

Expansion Jutsu is a secret technique passed down in the Akimichi clan that increases the user's body size by converting their calories into chakra. The user can freely alter their size at will when using this technique, and can use it for an extensive period of time. A common application of the techniques gives the user a very round appearance by mostly increasing the size of the abdominal section, which is done in order to use the Human Bullet Tank technique. Other, more common applications increase the size of the entire body, turning the user into a giant.

Drawback(s): While the "Butterfly Mode" is active, all cooldowns are reduced by half for Hiden jutsu. Butterfly Mode lasts for ten posts. Once the user's Butterfly Mode is deactivated (after ten of his/her posts), all Hiden jutsu cooldown are doubled and chakra levels are significantly lowered. Butterfly mode can only be activated (without Three Coloured Pills) by Akimichi B+ rank.

Clan (Hiden) Jutsu

Name: Human Bullet Tank
Rōmaji: Nikudan Sensha
Canon: Yes
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Class: Offensive
Range: Maximum of 8m
Description: A threatening taijutsu trick that converts the users large frame into a destructive weapon. The user first uses Expansion Jutsu to make themselves into a human-sized ball, then they tuck in their limbs and use chakra to propel themselves into a powerful roll. Its effective use of weight and the force of rotation make for an even greater lethality than appearances would let on, enough to pulverize someone's hand with but a mere touch. It is difficult for the user to turn in this form. This technique has the added effect of plugging up the user's ears.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of three posts.

Name: Partial Expansion Jutsu
Rōmaji: Bubun Baika no Jutsu
Canon: Yes
Classification: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self; can stretch expanded limbs up to 2m.
Description: A practical application of the Expansion Jutsu which lets one expand their own body. The point of swelling a single part of the body is to use the weight to increase the power of one's physical attacks. Any bodily part may be augmented this way, but for ease of use the arms and legs tend to be chosen quite frequently. The speed of the expansion is exceedingly sudden, which makes it extremely difficult to avoid. Like the majority of the Akimichi clan's techniques, this one requires a considerable amount of chakra. Because of this one may choose to use one of the Three Coloured Pills.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of three posts.

Name: Super Expansion Jutsu
Rōmaji: Chō Baika no Jutsu
Canon: Yes
Classification: Hiden, Ninjutsu
Rank: A
Class: Supplementary
Range: Self
Description: The Super Expansion Jutsu is the height of the Expansion Jutsu, which multiplies the user’s body to a size beyond belief (stand 20m tall). The attack method depends on the situation and the user’s inventiveness, but massive punches, kicks and body slamming is common. However, the abnormally extreme physical change also places a large burden on the user’s body. The clothes of the user also expand along with the body. Normally, due to the immense size, the user takes the Akimichi clan's Three Coloured Pills to increase his chakra reserves before using it.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Lasts six posts. Cooldown of six posts.

Name: Super Open Hand Slap
Rōmaji: Chōharite
Canon: Yes
Classification: Taijutsu, Chakra flow
Rank: B
Class: Offensive
Range: Self; size of palms can become a maximum of 12 x 12 (feet)
Description: After using Expansion Jutsu to increase their size, the user funnels chakra into their hands, which causes special markings to appear in them. The weight and power of the hands are greatly increased because of the larger size, the muscles are activated with concentrated chakra, and the thickness is also increased. With so much chakra that it becomes visible, the user's palms become like an iron hammer. This gives this attack the power to even cave in the earth, causing extensive crushing damage to anything that may be caught beneath them. This attack is also shown to have a wide range due to the increased size of his palms.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of four posts.

Name: Spiked Human Bullet Tank
Rōmaji: Nikudan Hari Sensha
Canon: Yes
Classification: Taijutsu
Rank: C
Class: Offensive
Range: Maximum of 8m
Description: With its effectiveness raised several times by using it together with weapons, this technique is an enhanced version of the Akimichi clan's Human Bullet Tank.

One application of this technique first involves the user wrapping ropes with kunai attached around their body, after which the Expansion Jutsu is used. From that state, one switches over to the Human Bullet Tank. Using the kunai as spikes, the rotation power increases, and the attack power also drastically goes up.
Drawback/Duration/Cooldown: Cooldown of three posts, also requires the use of all kunai/shuriken equipped to the character for that thread.
