Name: Torikami (鳥神, literally Bird God)
Clan: Karura
Appearance: See below.
Traits:
Basic Abilities
Those with the most basic stage of the bloodline gain one or more bird-like traits or instincts. At least one is required for a character of this clan. These personality traits are as follows: greed, curiosity, extravagance, flamboyance, predatory instincts, and motherly instincts (females only). These personalities often evolve into habits or hobbies like spying, stealing, hunting, and child care bordering on, or going as far as, obsessive. Those who transplant DNA for this bloodline must choose two or more of these personality traits.
By focusing Chakra into their shoulder blades the Torikami can grow or retract a pair of bright white feathery wings. These wings can be used as any other part of the body. Flight is slow and dangerous at first until at least 5 posts have been spent learning to fly, at which point they gain +10 speed boost.
Upon becoming a Ningen no Tori the user develops real physical wings; only those with the KKG can achieve this level.
Ningen no Tori (人間の鳥; literally Human Bird)
Those who have learned Feather Release as an element may further expand upon this bloodline and begin to tap into the true potential locked away within. Those wishing to become Ningen no Tori must spend 10 posts practicing Feather Release to manifest their chakra as physical wings. At least 60 natural Chakra is required to accomplish this.
Those achieving this level of Torikami will find that their wings are given physical form with the same white feathers as their mane, granting them a +20 speed boost and allowing them to achieve their max movement speed instantly upon activation. The Torikami also find that their arms, halfway past the elbow, are now scaly and hard as are their fingernails which turn black and grow 6 inches long, granting +20 durability. Speed boosts from this bloodline do not stack with other speed boosts from this bloodline.
Garuda no Bijon (ガルーダのビジョン; literally Garuda’s vision)
In order to reach the final stage, the Ningen no Tori user must find and defeat the White Garuda, a six-foot seven-inch Brahminy kite, and force it to pledge its eyes to the victor until death. Loss results in blindness, as the user's own eyes were wagered. The White Garuda nests in the mountains, but is elusive to all but the Torikami, who may speak with it freely. It has 300 total stats as well as the abilities from Ningen no Tori and Garuda no Bijon, including the bonus speed (meaning it can become an anthropomorphic bird).
Only one person can be in possession of the White Garuda's eyes at a time. The current owner of Garuda no Bijon must be slain for the eyes to return to the White Garuda where they may be challenged for normally. The battle goes on until either party becomes unconscious or dies. Upon death, a regular Brahminy kite will become the new White Garuda, in a process similar to finding the Avatar. The White Garuda must be NPC'd by a mod.
Few Torikami have achieved this. Garuda no Bijon manifests as hawk-like eyes with golden pupils and black irises when activated, a form of Dojutsu.
In addition, the eyes grant +60 perception while active, 30 chakra to activate with 15 upkeep, and allow the user to see things in full detail as far as two miles away, but not through objects. Those with transplants can not reach this level. The eyes also can not be taken from a human Garuda and be given to a Ningen no Tori.
