History: The Seishin is an ancient order of ninja, steeped in a long history of service to the Land of Fire. It has long stood as the spiritual strength behind the land, as well as a physical defender. The clans creation happened some Corren hundred years prior during a tumultuous time. During a great ninja war, a young ninja named Gen became gravely wounded and hid in a shrine. Their he prayed to the spirits for assistance and was granted their boon. He was infused with the spirit of an animal, one of his favorites, the Eagle. He returned to the battle, now in the form of a giant eagle. Together with his ninjutsu and the Eagle's natural abilities they defeated the enemies of the land. The eagle had become a part of him, and he lived with the spirit inside of him till his death. However he had two children and in them the spirit was passed on. The spirit then took the forms of their cherished animals, fox and turtle. In turn when they had children the spirit was passed to them and took on new forms and so on and so forth. today there exists three separate families which share the Seishin family blood. The direct Seishin line and two others which have remained hidden, leaving the land of fire for other lands.
Kekkei Genkai:
Spirit Form: The user of this ability is cloaked in a shroud of chakara and has the enhanced abilities of their spirit animal, up to two. These traits are based off the animal of choice and are defined in the application. Here the spirit animal passes on it's abilities while the user remains in human form. this ability is most often used for hunting and tracking by enhancing the users sensory abilities.
Physical Transformation: The user transforms into their spirit animal. This animal form has the same chakara nature and ninjutsu abilities as the human form, but with an increase in power with a usage of 45 chakara per post in form. This is an imperfect form with the person and spirit being of two different minds. The user controls the body fully but the power belongs to the spirit who can at any time become angry with the user and revert the form, denying the user until a formal apology is made.
Pure symbiosis: While in spirit form the user initiates an enhanced version of the physical transformation linking the animal spirit to the subconscious of the person, granting the animals instincts and intuition. This form is unsteady and requires years to master fully, at first only the user and the spirits thoughts are linked but slowly through the use they become one, their instincts and actions merging perfectly while in this pure form. A sign that one has become truly merged with their spirit animal is that glowing runes of chakara are seen throughout the animals body.
