~A Hojo~
Hojo Clan members are known to be good team members and deadly light users. They possess the Kokoro toride, a dojutsu that has the ability to cancel out other dojutsu, and use light and mirror-like clan jutsu to overpower their opponents. The Hojo clan is known to be very strong and talented, but at the same time, patient and in control.
The Hojo clan have also been the local special tailors of Sand Village, this has been in the clan for decades as they have always fashioned themselves experts and leaders in the field of fabric/textile study and creation.

* +1 to DEX/Light Ninjutsu(WIS)
~The Mind Fortress ( Kokoro Toride )~
Members of the clan who possess the bloodline all possess the same reflective eye that takes on the dominant colour of their environment; it has a mirror-like shine. The bloodline is a passive dojutsu. The user cannot control it, but more it is an automatic defense. When an opponent uses their own dojutsu, the Kokoro Toride reacts by taking on the appearance of the dojutsu being use against them. At lower ranks, this ability simply confuses an opponent... giving the Hojo some extra time before the actual dojutsu is used against them. At higher ranks, the Kokoro Toride can actually cancel out an opponent's dojutsu. The eyes also have the ability to see the light spectrum more clearly aiding their jutsu and themself in battle.
* +3 Attack/Defense rolls
* Kokoro Toride (Lvl 3/Level 35+):
-The user is able to imitate the opponent's dojutsu appearance and cancel the effects for the remainder of the time they are within one anothers vicinity.
-Bonuses: +2 to rolls to cancel opponents dojutsu.
-PvP Effect: A WIS vs WIS roll is made upon the opponents activation. If successful, the dojutsu is canceled for the rest of the fight. If failed, the user may use a turn at any time to try to force it to work. This may be done as many times as the user wants, using a turn up each time.
(Note: The Clan Bonus ALSO applies to these rolls.)
~Character Lore Roles~
Lore 5: The Hojo clan have reflective eyes that take on the dominant color of their surroundings, white to bronze skin, and platinum white to grey silver hair.
Lore 10: You know of the Hojo clan. They are known for their affinity for light jutsu. They are a wealthy merchant class family famous for their tailored garbs and wears (Hojo Tailors & Design). The clan is very old, and so strictly adheres to rules and tradition; this is most likely why clansmen wear similar designs and colors. Recently they have branched out into other merchant industries such as interior design and overall aesthetic design for a variety of items and accessories.
Lore 15: The Hojo clan is spread out between Sunagakure and Konohagakure, counting distant cousins as nin in both. Until recent improvements in relations between the two villages, this fact often caused conflicts of interest and in turn had limited the social influence of the Clan in both hidden villages.
Lore 20: The Hojo clan was originally based in the Land of Rain, but with the numerous civil wars and instablity of the country in general... they eventually left in search of a better life for their future generations.
Lore 40: The clan is actually made up of two groups. The primary clan consists of 'pure-blooded' Hojos, having come into the family at birth. The secondary clan are those born outside the family, but with the use of a secret sage class technique, have been willingly and physically transformed so as to adhere to appearance expectations of a typical Hojo. This is held in high regard as it has allowed the clan to continue for so long with little change. The technique is not complete however. It does bind the outsider to the clan, but they still tend to stand out as they retain highlights of their original hair color in their white hair. The Hojo bloodlines may or may not appear in the new secondary clan member.
