Contest Clan - Hanto

Hantō

Clan History
The Hantō clan is rather obscure. The root of such is that their Clan utilizes a unique Hijutsu that when put upon a newborn, weakly manifests a near un-seeable wave of energy; otherwise coined as a ‘Colorless Aura’. This Aura appears quite nearly invisible beyond the fact there are the occasional sparkles of energy, like stars in the night sky.
As a Hantō grows older, they begin to take form of their own true aura. This aura is often a direct resemblance to their personality, something that they can cherish, build upon and discipline much like themselves. By this time, their aura often will take form in a unique color and bares its own unique traits alongside the Hantō’s growth. Notably the user’s element, through their base affinity too, often maintains relative traits to their aura.

When one meets a Hantō it is often described as a disciplined warrior, someone who values their prowess, discipline and maintains a composed, calculative stature amongst the shinobi ranks. Although their personalities do differ without a doubt; this does not dismiss their duty and honor to their clan and the village.
