Welcome to Gaia! ::

Clan Name: Teishin
Village: Kumogakure, or more appropriately the mountains just outside Kumogakure
Element Affinity: Lightning
Description of Clan: A clan that lives in the mountains of Kumogakure, they specialize in scouting and raiding. Suffers from a lack of social contact outside od thier small villages, and can have trouble adjustin to regular life in Kumogakure.
Physical Appearance: A life in the mountains is a tough one and does not favor the weak or heavy. Generally members are thin yet stout, they are strong but not overtly, thus their muscles do not usually show. Otherwise there is a great diversity of what members look like. That is of course until they learn of a coming battle, it is a common practice for them to darken their faces, and any other exposed skin. When preparing for an ambush/raid they'll commonly adjust they're hairstyle, in one way or another to make them appear more frightening when the amush/raid commences. Mohawks are common in such situations.
History: The exact beginnings of the Teishin are unknown but I is known that for as long as there has been a Kumogakure, they have lived in mountains nearby. For many years there was tension between the Teishin and Kumgakure, leading to several bloody wars. After centuries of fighting a peace treaty was signed, the Teishin could continue to live in their hunter lifestyle but would be required to send boys to be trained as ninja. At first the boys had to be chosen and forced into service, over time though they proved themselves excellent scouts and raiders. Slowly the members became more open until it became a tradition that every member serves some time as a ninja. The a fair percentage of Kumogakure's ANBU are believed to come from this clan, or, according to some foreign news sources, they are actually specially recruited bloodthursty criminals.
Habits and Social Structure: The clan is lead by the clan Elder, who has sworn allegiance to the Raikage, even though he technically is of equal rank. After the Elder the clan is run by a council, who are elected to actually run the day-to-day business of the clan. Commonly the members will wear the Kangi for mountai on back of thier clothes, as a constant reminder to where they have come from.
Quirks and Special Features: Though every member grows up with a bow in their hand, by far their favorite weapon in the Throwing Hatchet. Members have even been seen to cast away other weapons in favor of the hatchet. Unfortunately for them the mountain life does not lend itself to producing large amounts of Chakra. Every boy who is sent to the academy always takes both thier bow and thier hatchet with them, as they are the only weapons they trust at the beginning of thier careers.
In game Stats: Dexterity x 1.2, Chakra x 0.8, starts with +2 to Survival, Bow, and Throwing Hatchet.
