Abilities

Anyone you asked would merely tell you the Izumi had the ability of shadow manipulation but that's not the case. Yes, they do have control over the shadows but it's not like they automatically know many of their abilities. Izumi have to be taught many of the tricks they can have up their sleeves and most of the teaching almost all the teaching comes from Yin. The only teaching not coming from the leader of the clan would be the teaching of activating the eyes and a basic shadow manipulation to grab things and throw them.

Also unique to the eyes is a random quality to tell if someone is lying. It's a strange ability that none of them have any idea where it came from. But if activated the eyes can tell you someone is lying. Izumi's senses are razor sharp.

~Shapeshifter

The first trick that most Izumi learn is how to mold their shadows into shapes. It's a very simple technique and can be pretty easy to learn. The easiest is the basic circle or whip and the more complicated is the bird shape and the wolf shape. The two animal shapes take much longer to learn then the basic two other shapes. But learn these four shapes and you've basically mastered the shapeshifting technique.

~Shadow Control

The ability to take control of another Izumi's shadows, but good luck if that Izumi has a higher eye level. This ability is rather weak since most Izumi only have the stage 2 in their eyes. But it can come in handy for those who are able to go into the higher eye stages as they can stop shadow attacks and turn it against the attacker. This is one of the Izumi's secret scroll moves. Can only be taught by Yin.

~Shadow Movement

A very simple technique that includes vanishing into the shadows and reappearing somewhere else. It is a form of transportation that is quite efficient.

~Shadow Illusions

An advanced technique that is considered a secret scroll move. The surrounding area will become pitch black and the one using the move will fade into the darkness. Red eyes will appear everywhere and mimic exactly what the real one does. The user's voice will echo as well as footsteps so it's nearly impossible to predict where the user is. This is usually a death trap for many. Can only be taught by Yin.

~Shadow Rejection

Another advanced technique that is also an Izumi secret scroll technique. This is the ability to make the shadows if someone were to try and use them as transport for the shadows to spit the person out and reject them. It turns all shadows against the person and the user will easily be able to fight since the person would be at a disadvantage. Depending on your eye level this technique can be weak or strong. Can only be taught by Yin.

Eye Levels

No stars, automatically available
*-Taught by another Izumi who knows it
**-Must be taught by Yin


Stage 1: The eyes are unactivated and in their normal state. They're just normal, coal eyes and no shadow manipulation. The only reason this is considered a stage of the Izumi eyes is because it is rare to gain the eyes. Unless a half-breed or full Izumi there is a 4% of gaining the eyes.

~Abilities Available: None


Stage 2: The eyes have just activated, this is the stage that 96% of the Izumi remain at. In this stage shadow manipulation becomes available and minor abilities can be learned. Learning is the only way the tricks can start to be learned. Of course, all the tricks will be weaker compared to the other eye stages above this one. They're easy to overpower if an Izumi can go higher in eye stages. An Izumi must also be taught by Yin to be able to go to stage 3 of the Izumi eyes.

Abilities Available:

~ Shadow manipulation
~ Shapeshifter_*
~Shadow Control_**
~Shadow Movement_*


Stage 3: This eye is activated when stress and anger swell together. It will increase a user's speed and strength, but stresses the body. The body is in a constant mental pain with this eye activated, tearing away at the mind. The Izumi is still aware of what's going on in this stage. There is a 2% chance of any Izumi ever being able to activate these eyes, and of course you need Yin's teaching. 98% of Izumi are permanently injured from trying to reach this stage.

~Abilities Available:

~ Shadow manipulation
~ Shapeshifter_*
~Shadow Control_**
~Shadow Movement_*


Stage 4: Damage mentally to the mind is increased when these eyes are activated. An Izumi who cannot control him or herself will become unaware of their actions. It will take a lot of training and help from Yin to get to this stage if the Izumi has already made it to stage 3. If an Izumi does not have control they follow the instinct to kill. They cannot feel pain dealt to them and unless immobilized, killed, or snapped out of it will continue to attack. Someone close to the Izumi or Yin may be able to calm an Izumi that loses it. With these eyes an Izumi will get a burst of energy, strength, and speed. Shadow abilities grow stronger and shadows may even swirl around the user to protect them. There is a 1% chance of living with these eyes.

~Abilities Available:

~ Shadow manipulation
~ Shapeshifter_*
~Shadow Control_**
~Shadow Movement_*
~Shadow Illusions_**


Stage 5: This is the stage were an Izumi will most likely snap. Emotions become too overwhelming and the Izumi loses him or herself completely. There is less then 1% chance of calming an Izumi in this stage. Now if they lose it they'll become nothing but a killing machine. The percent of getting to this stage without certain death is much less then 1% but abilities are pushed beyond limits and incredible strength is gained. But all of it has the downfall that even with control the Izumi still may die afterwords. They can be reckless in this state and their thinking can be blurred, focused mostly on blood. Izumi ignore their injuries and the fact they could be spilling blood. They also ignore that their mind is pretty much being literally ripped to pieces. Some Izumi even lose some memory from this stage and will not remember their actions. Or they may even forget their whole name. The only Izumi known to be able to use this stage and keep control for a few minutes is Yin.

~Abilities Available:

~ Shadow manipulation
~ Shapeshifter_*
~Shadow Control_**
~Shadow Movement_*
~Shadow Illusions_**
~Shadow Rejection_**

Flaws! Many of the flaws are posted above. As the Izumi goes up in the eye levels, it causes harm to their bodies both phyiscally and mentally. The Izumi can lose themself and have to be destroyed. Too much of the stress and pain from the eyes can also make the Izumi drop dead or suffer for life whether it be with constant headaches or a disability such as going blind. Thanks to a thing the eyes do, a punch to the stomach can disable the eyes for days and knock an Izumi out cold. Their stomachs also become senstive, so a powerful punch may just cause internal bleeding. Which can lead to death.
Effects! The bloodline can be a benefit or a curse to both the fighter and the user of the bloodline. It's not recommended to let the shadows touch you. Also, it's not recommended to hold onto the bloodline for long in fear of losing it and becoming highly arrogant and bloothirsty to where you're vulnerable.
