Jorōgumo (Spider Master)

[/XxEN/]

Jorōgumo Clan

[/b] Ninjutsu
Location: Land of Sound
Type: Bloodlimit
Clan Leaders: n/a
Restrictions:

• Must sacrifice 1 class slot to learn all the Jorōgumo techniques.
• All Jorōgumo start out with six arms instead of two. These arms function exactly as the user's other arms, however, the user cannot use two different techniques at the same time due to the strain on the user's concentration. 
• Jorōgumo techniques do not require the user to actually make handseals. But, unless otherwise noted, the Jorōgumo techniques still take chakra and an amount of time equal to their rank to perform. The Jorōgumo techniques still take away from the user's total amount of handseals per round like other ninjutsu.

"The Jorōgumo are a clan of spider masters -- users who look and act like the arachnids that they so revere. The Jorōgumo are born with six arms and can produce a special sort of webbing from their mouth, made out of both parts chakra and saliva. Most of the Jorōgumo have dark hair and wear loose, darkly colored clothes, the better to scout and hide among the landscape. Jorōgumo are known for being close to arachnids, snakes, and other predatory wildlife. Most Jorōgumo live solitary lifestyles, or in small groups within their clan, preferring not to organize into complex communities. 

The first Jorōgumo are said to have originated when a man laid with a spider goddess, who he'd worshipped, and she bore his children. Those children grew into the first clan leaders of the Jorōgumo in the Land of Rice Paddies, or so it is said. The Jorōgumo grew numerous, over time, and occupied many regions throughout the country. There were numerous other clans in the land at this time as well, however, so often the Jorōgumo would be at war. Still their warriors were fierce, and over the decades the Jorōgumo clan thrived in this bloody atmosphere. 

When Lord Orochimaru approached the clan about helping him start a civil war, the Jorōgumo made an alliance with him. Their warriors helped Orochimaru take over the Land of Rice Paddies and turn it into the Land of Sound. However, after they were done, Orochimaru gave many of them over to his experiments and kept only a few alive. Those who survived were released during the Fourth Great Ninja War, moving back into the Land of Sound to repopulate their clan. Today many of the Jorōgumo have hidden away in burrows, and city ruins, not often seen among the residents of the hidden villages." [/ul]

Basics

Name: Sticky Spider Thread
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Can only travel in a straight line. Pure chakra techniques, such as the Hyuga's Gentle Fist or the Rasengan, can break through the spider threads.
Description: This is the basic technique of the Jorōgumo and influence the rest of their techniques. The user weaves chakra and spit together in their mouth in order to produce a web-like material. This material takes an amount of time, and chakra, equal to a C-ranked technique to activate (however, all associated Jorōgumo techniques require time and chakra equal to their rank to perform). The user can spit this webbing out up to a distance of 15 meters + 5 meters per rank the user knows in this technique. The webbing can only be shot in a straight line, meaning that it is not very useful on its own. Any creature that comes into contact with the webbing must roll to see if they can escape. The opponent must roll 1d20 + Stamina. They must beat a difficulty class of 10 + the user's character level +  the user's Chakra. If the opponent loses the roll, then they cannot break free and are stuck to the web. The webbing disappears after an amount of rounds equal to 5 + 1 per rank the user knows in this technique. The webbing has 30 armor and 50 health points if someone wishes to destroy them, meaning they are incredibly durable due to the chakra that runs through them. Fire-based attacks deal double damage to the Sticky Spider Threads. Pure chakra techniques (such as the Gentle Fist or Rasengan) can rip right through the threads. The user can only use this ability, or any Jorōgumo webbing technique, an amount of times per day equal to 1 for every 2 points of Chakra. The user can never be affected by their own sticky threads, but everybody else will be.
Requirements: Must be a member of the Jorōgumo clan.

[/b] Extra-Sticky Threads
Rank: "C" (Multiple, Max 5)
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user has become more adept at shaping their Sticky Spider Thread and make it even more difficult to escape. The user's DC to escape their webbing is now increased by +1 per time the user has learned this technique.
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread
[/ul]
Name: Spider Sticky Gold
Rank: "D", "C", "B"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Takes a full-round to perform. Cannot stick to objects or people like the Sticky Spider Thread.
Description: Instead of producing their typical webbing, a Jorōgumo can produce threads that are look like pure gold and harden upon contact with the air. The user can shape these threads into whatever object they desire, thereby crafting it in a moment. The user cannot, however, craft complex gadgets or objects with moving parts. This ability is considered a full-round action. With the D-ranked version, the user can produce a tiny object or weapon. With the C-ranked version, the user can produce a small object or weapon (or two tiny weapons). With the B-ranked version, the user can produce a medium object or weapon (or two small weapons / four tiny weapons). If the user would produce a weapon with this technique, then that weapon would deal its normal damage + 2 hp from the golden threads superior craftsmanship. This techniques lasts the same amount of rounds as the Sticky Spider Thread technique. This technique takes away one use from the Sticky Spider Thread technique. The objects produced by the Spider Sticky Gold have the same durability as the user's Sticky Spider Thread, but are affected normally by all types of damage (do not take extra damage from fire, can't be automatically broken by pure chakra, etc.). 
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread, at least B-rank

[/b] Quick Spider
Rank: "C" (Multiple, Max 5)
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user becomes quicker at producing their Spider Sticky Gold objects and weaponry. The user may subtract one second per time they've learned this technique. Ordinarily crafting the Spider Sticky Gold takes one round, or six seconds. So, for example, if the user learned this technique twice then it would only take them four seconds to produce the Spider Sticky Gold.
Requirements: Must know Spider Sticky Gold
[/ul]
Name: Steel Threads
Rank: "C" (Multiple, Max 5)
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: With practice, the Jorōgumo's Sticky Spider Threads, and all subsequent techniques that deal with the threads or sticky gold, will become even more strong and durable. For each time the user has learned this technique, the spider threads / gold will gain an additional + 1 armor and + 5 health points.
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread

Name: Poison Threads
Rank: "A"
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: Can only work on the Sticky Spider Threads, not the Spider Sticky Gold.
Description: The user weaves a special type of chakra into their webbing, causing it to fill with poison. Those who come into contact with any of the user's Sticky Spider Threads, or any related techniques that are not made of the sticky gold, will need to make a 1d20 + Health check to see if they are affected by the poison. The poison has a difficulty class equal to the DC of the Spider Sticky Threads. If an opponent loses their roll, then the poison will deal 5 + 1d10 hp of initial damage and 5 + 1d20 hp of secondary damage. This technique requires that any modified spider thread technique take up 1 extra use of the Sticky Spider Thread, an extra A-rank's worth of chakra and time equal to handseals, and an additional movement. The opponent must still make a roll to determine if they are stuck by the webs, since the poison does not negate this effect. The user cannot be affected by their own poison, but everybody else will be. 
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread, at least A-rank

Advanced

Name: Spider Bind
Rank: "C"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique acts like Sticky Spider Thread except as noted: The user can shoot a wide cone of webs out of their mouth for a frontal assault to capture all targets in one area. The cone reaches out to half the range that the user knows in the Sticky Spider Thread technique, due to how much webbing is needed for the jutsu. All characters within range will be caught in a single, large net which might prevent them from being able to move.
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread, at least C-rank

Name: Spider Cocoon
Rank: "B"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: Takes a full round to craft.
Description: This technique acts like Sticky Spider thread except as noted: The user takes a full-round action in order to wrap the opponent in a large, spider cocoon made of their spider thread. This technique takes up two uses of the Sticky Spider Thread do to the amount of webbing. A character who is trapped inside of a cocoon cannot move at all. Furthermore, the cocoon is very durable and has 30 Armor and 100 hp. The webbing is so tight that is constricts and strangles a victim, causing them to suffocate after a certain amount of time (see the rules for holding your breath).
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread, at least B-rank

Name: Spider Web Area
Rank: "D"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique acts like Sticky Spider Thread except as noted: The user to cover a wide area in small, spider threads that detect movement. The user often casts this technique while they are hiding so that they can track an enemy. The threads float in the breeze, and stick to bushes and branches. They are not strong enough to stick to a person. However, the user can detect the general direction of any movement (by creatures small or larger) within a 10 meter per character level radius. This technique works best when the user is in dense areas, such as cities or forests, to hide the origin of their threads.
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread

Name: Spider Web Flower
Rank: "C"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique acts like Sticky Spider Thread except as noted: The user blasts a series of small, web nets from their mouth toward one, or many, foes. The nets are 1 meter in diameter and can snugly wrap around a person's torso -- either sticking them to a wall or binding their arms and hands. The nets can also be aimed to wrap up a user's legs. There are many possibilities, and the choice is up to the user. The user can spit up to 1 net for every 2 character levels.
Requirements: Must know Sticky Spider Thread

Name: Ranged Sticky Gold
Rank: "C"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique acts like Spider Sticky Gold except as noted: The user can shoot the weapons made with the sticky gold from their mouth, as if they were a ranged weapon or projectile. The user may shoot out as many weapons as they are allowed to create with the Spider Sticky Gold technique. The range of this technique is equal to the user's range in Sticky Spider Thread. If a weapon would hit an opponent, then it would deal its normal damage (based on the Spider Sticky Gold technique) + 2 hp damage per user's character level. Takes an amount of time equal to Spider Sticky Gold to perform.
Requirements: Must know Spider Sticky Gold

Name: Armor of Sticky Gold
Rank: "B"
Type: Ninjutsu
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique acts like Spider Sticky Gold except as noted: The user can only use this ability once per day. It does not require time equal to handseals to use, but is instant. However, this technique still requires an amount of chakra equal to its rank. The user suddenly allows Spider Sticky Gold to leak out of all the pours on their body. This secretes a type of golden armor that can instantly protect the user from physical attacks such as taijutsu and ninjutsu. The armor has the same durability as the Sticky Spider Thread technique. If a technique would break through the armor, its damage will be reduced accordingly. This armor can remain over the user's body for an amount of rounds equal to 1 per every 2 character levels before it shatters and falls to the ground. While covered in this armor the user can't move very easily so their movements are reduced by 2 per round, and they can't perform taijutsu attacks higher than D-rank.
Requirements: Must know Spider Sticky Gold, at least B-rank
