Aburame The Aburame bloodline is rather aberrant; their unique abilities are often perceived as grotesque by other ninja. Originating from Konohagakure, members of this generally reticent clan are offered at birth as a nest to a special breed of insects. These insects, dubbed "kikaichuu" (parasitic destruction insect, live and breed within the Aburame's body. The insects themselves are special, having many abilities related to chakra and its manipulation; they feed off of chakra as an energy source. In exchange for their body as a nest, these bugs serve their host completely, able to be controlled telepathically and instantaneously. This mutual symbiosis is beneficial for both the kikaichuu and the Aburame; allowing them both to have access to powers otherwise unheard of. Spoiler: RP Notes Your bugs can be any insect genus that you wish, but their makeup will not affect their abilities, in or out of combat; all Aburame kikaichuu function the same, no matter what kind of insect it is. Spoiler: System Notes Kikaichuu cannot be targeted, affected by AoE attacks, and are immune to genjutsu.

They are not immune to damage or death, and will often die when their living hive is damaged. The insects reproduce at a high enough rate that this doesn't affect the Aburame's combat abilities. Instead, when their insects die, they expel their chakra, which is then absorbed by their host to replenish their own.

Ability Costs None Mastered EffectsMastered Effects Information Whenever you take damage, you recover CP equal to 5% of the damage dealt. Ability Costs None Kikai Adaptation InformationInformation Type: Ability Description Although the insects are rudimentary, their chakra nature and sheer age have made them very adept at adapting to various conditions.

Each hit of a multi-hit jutsu is considered a different damage 'time'. Ability Costs None Bug Trace InformationInformation Type: Ability Description The kikaichu, unknown to most, are actually gendered. There are only very subtle differences between the males and the females, most of the time this makes no difference. The primary differentiation in their gender is that the females emit a special pheromone that is only able to be detected by the male kikaichuu. This pheromone is very potent and instantly recognized, so much so that the insects have the ability to lead their host to the females almost instantaneously, even in the heat of combat. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Whenever you successfully deal damage with a full hit, you leave a female bug on the target. You gain a +2 Accuracy bonus, a +2 Awareness bonus, and have a +1 Critical Range against any target with a female bug on them.

Ability Costs None Bloodline Jutsu Insect Clone Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu InformationInformation Rank: D-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Misc Ninjutsu Subtype: Clone, Maintained Description The most basic technique in the Aburame's repertoire; this technique utilizes a massive group of insects to create a clone of the user. These clones are relatively rudimentary, but they serve the purpose of distracting opponents. Because they are completely comprised of the kikaichuu, when the clone is hit, the attacker now has to wrestle with the bugs themselves. At higher levels this technique can instead opt for being much more resistant a the cost of being less offensive. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Range: N/A You create up to two material clones made of kikaichuu which have 5% of your HP. Whenever these clones are hit by a melee attack, the attacker takes 150 chakra damage. You recover CP equal to the amount of chakra damage dealt.

Chakra Costs Cast: 450 CP Maintain: 250 CP Insect Jar Mushi Kame no Jutsu InformationInformation Rank: D-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Defensive Ninjutsu Description This technique uses the Aburame's bugs to form a protective shield by having them fly in a dome shape at a very high speed. This guards the small area from harm and disrupts attacks that were aimed at it, but it is rather weak; dissipating quickly and not being able to guard very much damage. Masters of this technique also have the ability to utilize the dying bug's chakra in order to restore the chakra of those that were shielded by the dome. Requirements Can only be used as a reactionary action. EffectsEffects Information Range: 30ft AoE: 10ft You shield the AoE within the range against a single attack, blocking up to 450 damage of that attack.

Chakra Costs Cast: 450 CP Kikai Swarm Attack InformationInformation Rank: C-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Ranged Ninjutsu Description A basic but strong technique; this jutsu disperses the Aburame's bugs into a heavy cloud of bugs that swarm an opponent, using not only their chakra draining abilities, but their insect teeth and claws to hurt their targets. Masters of this technique can add more bugs to the swarm, affecting a large group, or forgo the physical damage entirely for wholly chakra damage. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Range: 30ft You launch a swarm of bugs at the target, dealing 950 non-elemental damage and 500 chakra damage.

Chakra Costs Cast: 1000 CP Spindle Formation Bousui no Jin InformationInformation Rank: B-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Ranged Ninjutsu Description An almost beautiful skill; the Aburame commands their insects to attack a target in a set of spiraling, sweeping motions that hinder their ability to react. Masters of this technique can utilize it to make very specific types of attempts. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Range: 30ft The target takes a -2 Dodge penalty for 3 rounds. Chakra Costs Cast: 1600 CP Mastery - Called SpindleMastery Option Effects Information Range: 30ft You can use this jutsu to make a called shot action attempt against the target. The action has a +15% chance of succeeding, but other than that functions exactly as per the normal called shot action rules. Chakra Costs Cast: 1700 CP Insect Chakra Bullet InformationInformation Rank: B-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Ranged Ninjutsu Description A devastatingly quick technique, this jutsu charges a number of the kikaichu with extra chakra, launching them off in rapid succession. The technique, although powerful, can be a little unwieldy because of the speed the bugs are fired. Mastery of this technique allows the Aburame more precisely control the bugs. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Range: 30ft You fire 7 bugs with a -1 Accuracy penalty each. Each bug deals 250 non-elemental damage. Up to 7 different targets may be attacked with each cast. Chakra Costs Cast: 1750 CP Mastery - Controlled FireMastery Option Effects Information Range: 30ft You fire 7 bugs. Each bug deals 225 non-elemental damage. Up to 7 different targets may be attacked with each cast. Chakra Costs Cast: 1850 CP Chakra Destruction InformationInformation Rank: A-Rank Type: Non-Elemental Ranged Ninjutsu Description An underhanded and potent jutsu, this skill targets an opponent's chakra holes; the microscopic vents that allow them to expel their chakra and mold it for attacks. By placing very hungry kikaichu on the most important of these holes, the Aburame effectively creates a vacuum that will eat a large amount of chakra. If the bugs eat enough chakra, they use that to explode painfully. Masters of this technique can use more bugs, effectively making it more difficult to counter. Requirements None EffectsEffects Information Range: 30ft On a full hit, the target has bugs placed over their tenketsu. The target receives +15% increased CP costs for as long as these bugs remain on them. If the target expels a total amount of 5000 CP while these bugs are on them, they explode, dealing 2700 non-elemental damage. This damage cannot be dodged, but can be reduced as normal. A target that has been bugged in this way can take an action to remove all the bugs. This action costs 1.5 AP. Only one target can be affected by this jutsu at a time.

Mastery of the technique increases the speed of the bugs, increasing its pulling and debilitating power.
