Village: Iwagakure
Element Affinity: Any/(Users Choice)
Description of Clan: A combat style in which the wielder wields dual weapons typically a blade in right hand and a second blade in left hand facing downwards out of hand. It can be taught by the experienced members that know the style and is not a blood line. In most cases katana's are used but are not necessary.
Physical Appearance: Typical of any villager of Iwagakure, they have rough skin and have a gruff look about them.
History: Hisakata Yaiba Jikei dates back over several decades to the feudal era, when a single man whose idea for peace drove him to war as he fully believed that "The end justifies the means." This was his battle cry as he would try to obtain peace for his country by any means necessary. He lead a revolution against his countries Shogunate, but many times their henchmen numbers simply overwhelmed the untrained and low in number revolutionaries. With time, most of his followers believed there would be no chance for victory. Then, as desperation set in, the man came up with his own duel bladed fighting style and it proved to be very effective for him as he had slain far more than his share of enemies. Yet his revolution was still beginning to die as the shogunate still seemed too well trained and too far numerous. At this point, the man began to teach the revolutionaries the same combat style, with no time to lose, they learned simple Hisakata yaiba jikei techniques, and each man had became the equivalent of ten of men with skill alone. The leader, in time, defeated the corrupt Shogunate and set in a fairer form of government diplomacy. It was the teaching of Hisakata yaiba jikei which had turned unskilled and unmotivated revolutionaries into great warriors and changed their country forever. This sword style has been kept alive throughout the generations basically as a Bushido school which has survived over the many decades.
Habits and Social Structure: They train constantly and keep up the code of Bushido. They adhere to this moral code and consequences are very severe. Many go through regular civilian life as samurai, with their weapons strapped to their body, ever ready for a fight.
Quirks and Special Features: They aren't exactly a single family, but more like a gathering of men and women that have come together to share ideals and to teach the next generation of willing students. Due to the innovation of certain members in history, they have developed sub-styles within the lunar blade style, the ones mainly used are offense, defense, or they meet in the middle to grant balance.
