Background Description: The Obake clan has existed for more than 500 years. Their existence came about during the turmoil of the 4th Great Ninja War due to the vast acres of the land, forest, and mountain that were being destroyed by ninja on both sides of the war. Seeing this devastation, the 7 greatest shamans of the world gathered together, each one of them knew that they could not stop this by themselves and so formed a clan, pooling all of their families together. They then hid the newly formed clan somewhere which has been lost to history. Whether the hiding place disappeared because the shamans made it to, or it simply drifted into obscurity due to centuries passing by will never be known.
The years after the 4th Great Ninja war had history finally take notice of the newly emerged clan. They were first seen as traveling shamans, who went by the title of Mushi Master. They were able to communicate with seemingly invisible creatures that caused all sorts of natural phenomena. Mushi Masters were readily accepted most every where for their knowledge of plants and animals was second to none. They began planting the seeds of forests across the land, making sure the fledgling trees were far enough away from the fires of industry in the villages.
These efforts continued for around 300 years after the 4th Great Ninja War, but the clan was caught up in the rapidly expanding Shadow Knight Empire. They saw within the Empire a contradictory goal; conquer all, but only destroy the villages if necessary. This contradiction has made the clan to be somewhat reluctant followers of the Empire, but they also see that they could effectively preserve nature through only having a one world government in power. The clan itself is split in its support of the goal of the Empire and that ends the history of the Obake clan for now.
Elements: Mushi- They are the smallest part of the spirits of the land. For example a Bijuu without physical manifestation is only an evil spirit with the ability to lend enormous strength to its host. Mushi are what make up that evil spirit and they exist everywhere, though they are not all evil. A spirit consists of the combination of multiple Mushi and gain certain powers based on its environment. For example, multiple Mushi who live in water form into a spirit, that spirit is basically a water spirit.
Bloodline: Obake, there are only seven spirit animals. One for each clan member; Ox, bear, eagle, fox, catfish, tiger, and snake. The member who has one of these spirit animals can transform into that animal. All of these animals have great strength and speed that rival the strongest of bijuus though they have no element other then what their hosts already have. These spirit animals are also unable to boost the chakra strength of their hosts.
Extras: There are no unique physical traits, but each member has the symbol of their spirit animal on their forehead.
