Ningyo Clan(Mermaid clan)

[kairu]

Clan Name: Ningyo (mermaid)
Country Of Origin: Mizu
Village of Origin: Mizu
Kekkei Genkai: Ma-meido
Kekkei Genkai Description:
Ma-meido is the ability to turn into a mermaid. The legs blend together and scales cover from below the belly button on down, layering itself until it becomes truly like a fish-tail. The bosum is typically covered in a large variety of shells of all shapes and sizes, to allow some 'cover up' for the mermaids. They also gain gills on the side of their necks. It is the main source of 'breathing' under water, despite how they only need a part of their body to be under water to be able to breathe.

A downside is that the apart body must constantly be submerged inside of the water to be able to breathe. Constant moist-to-the-touch must be the texture of the skin when the ladies are in human form.

Clan History:
The exact beginnings of the clan are unknown. Some think the worst case scenario of a fish mating with a human....but most think the latter. Which is a woman was blessed by a water goddess a long time ago. The woman dedicated her life to the ocean, learning to live as a fish, rather than a human.

The woman found a sailor and fell in love. The woman had children, but was forced to raise them on land, due to the simple fact a human in an ocean world wasn't too smart. The two girls she bore seemed to have their mother's mer-gene, them finding themselves being able to swim at a ripe, young age. They were able to turn themselves into mermaids when they were ten years old. They preferred the aquatic life, spending most of their life submerged in the water. Each generation of the clan spent more and more of their life in the water, to the point of their bodies adapting and gaining gills on the side of their neck, so they could be under water for longer periods of time.

The mermaid clan has always lived in Mizu's waters. They considered themselves more fish than people, so they tended to keep to themselves and away from the village affairs, not wanting to get tangled in something that could potentially mean the death of them. Some of the newer generation children wanted to fight, alongside the shinobi. The kids got their way and they learned the shinobi way, learning to fight to defend themselves, the clan, and the village.

The clan began to have their own areas of specialty. The ones who were particularly handy with weapons became clan guardians. They protected the elders and came to fellow clansmen's aid whenever they got themselves caught in a fishermen trap. The spies excelled in speed and agility. They would often use their natural 'mermaid charm' to charm men. Their main duties was to keep up with information outside of the clan's circuit to help make sure there weren't any plans to exterminate their clan.

Description: A high pitch screech-scream that a mermaid will let out when she's either bleeding a lot, or in a lot of pain. the screech triggers other mer-folk (or possibly near by sea creatures) to come to their aid and help them. this is only recommended when the mermaid thinks they received a fatal or near fatal blow, because it takes up a lot of chakura.
