The Path Gold Alignment

The Path Gold Alignment is the kekkei genkai of Ukyo Hara. Followers of the Tao, the way, believe in simplicity as a virtue, for in simple the truth is revealed all the clearer. Thusly, in the history of the universe, simplicity is applied to make the much seem the little.

The Tao produced the one, Tai Chi. The one produced the two, yin and yang. The two produced the three, the Three Pure Ones. The three produced all the myriad beings, all of existence.

This is as it is known to Ukyo Hara, devoted followers of the way. Thusly, the highest of the deities becomes the Three Pure Ones, for the way is practiced through Tai Chi, and order is maintained through yin and yang, but the Thee Pure Ones are the highest level of beings. The Three Pure Ones are as follows:

Yuanshi Tianzun The Jade Pure One, known as "The Universally Honored One of Origin". Lingbao Tianzun The Supreme Pure One, known as "The Universally Honored One of Divinities and Treasures". Daode Tianzun The Grand Pure One, known as "The Universal Lord of the Way and its Virtue".

Ukyo knows himself as one of the "pure ones" of the mortal world. Yuanshi is known as the creator of the universe. Lingbao is praised as the creator of the gods, life, and all things. However, it is Daode that is praised above the other two, for the Grand Pure One was the forger of the way, the deity responsible for leaving a path between the world of mortals and the world of the gods. The Tao is the path that Ukyo follow in respects to the Three Pure Ones, the noble pathway of health, longevity, immortality, non-action, and spontaneity. Though this way that Ukyo is able to transcend the bounds of a human bodies and enact the power of spiritual harmony, which can serve as a devastating weapon.

Ukyo unlocked all the secrets of Harmony within his own rhythmic being, unlocking both the secrets of eternal life, prosperity, and foresight. So great was Ukyo that he could obtain a state of golden alignment with his harmony energy, nearing to the purest of energy to the point where he could communicate with the three great deities of the Taoist ways.

Abilities
Balance and Chaos

These are the two principals upon which the universe is built. All that was, all that is, and all that shall be are dictated by the flow of both balance and chaos. One cannot exist without the other, for without discord, there is no order. There is no understanding of peace, without first experiencing war. Nor can one understand the darkness, until they have seen the light. These are principles so basic that they become complex, the hidden truths within the world that guide the flow of the universe. Those that can understand these principals are endowed with limitless power, but those that use this power for selfish gain, without and understanding of maintaining the divide between balance and chaos, are torn apart as they fall into entropy.

This is the principal upon which Ukyo follows, the very foundation of his strength. This is the "Tao" of the clan. It is the path and doctrine, the guiding force of life.

Tao is the flow of the universe, the force behind the natural order, equating itself with the influence that keeps the universe balanced and ordered. For this order to be maintained there must be divide between ying and yang in equal proportions. Thusly, for the universe to be in harmony, there must be both good and evil within it, neither one gaining more threshold then the next, both being in perfect proportions. To attain perfect balance is to unlock infinite power, a foresight beyond what humans can achieve. This is the concept of Nirvana, which is a state of pure energy without either desire or need. It is said that only one human from the clan has ever achieved this state, a feat never to be reached again.

Tao is associated with nature, and nature demonstrates the Tao. The shift of the seasons represent a balance between the elements, for no one season can claim dominance over the other without throwing the world into entropy, and all things that fall into disorder move towards an equilibrium. To Ukyo, the best places of the world are those that experience equal proportions of all four seasons, and equal proportions of all the benefits and disadvantages that come from the progressive flow of a year. While there are places of the world that know only one season, whether it be the shivering cold of the Land of Snow, or the intense heat within the rain forests of the Land of Rain, the makeup of the world is still within order, for the two extremes balances each other out, with the central level being the regions of the world that know both extremes in perfect proportions. The Tao of nature can be understood from how the natural world around us possess qualities of both ying and yang. The rhythms of the world flow from day to night, from sun to moon.

The tides rise, and they fall. When the world reaches the point where there is too great of balance, when the world around use has reached a state of peace, great natural disasters arise to resort chaos, and by the time the dead have settles, the world is once again at a state of order.
