Kiroshika Clan

The was a powerful clan of Half-Ogres that resided within Iwagakure, but is now almost extinct after the clan was massacred by Ava Kiroshika.

Members of the Kiroshika clan were easily identifiable by their pointed ears, elongated fangs, exceptional height and red-tinged skin. They were also known to be highly violent and prone to crude behaviour.

Background
The Kiroshika are said to be descended from Ogres and came into being as a hybrid breed between humans and Ogres. They emerged within Iwagakure not long after the village was founded, acting as brutally powerful shinobi for the nation. They were prevented from harming Iwa's populous and sought out villagers of the Land of Earth or people from other nations in order to sate their rather wild tastes.

The Kiroshika stayed relatively low key for much of their existence and only really entered into history when the clan was suddenly eradicated by one of its own, Ava Kiroshika. The only person to survive the massacre was Ava's younger sister Ekaterina who only survived thanks to the sudden awakening of the clan's kekkei genkai.

The two remaining members of the clan have had their history thus far intertwined with the Reinikuitchi, serving the mysterious organization's ends as brute force.

Abilities
The Kiroshika were known for their expansive reserves of chakra, exceptional physical power, and a natural tendency towards violence. The clan was proficient in fire techniques and many such techniques appeared as an advancement of the clan's kekkei genkai. They had skill in Fūinjutsu with their most powerful technique being able to enhance the already powerful Kiroshika regenerative abilities.

Alongside their prowess in the shinobi arts, the Kiroshika had deep natural reserves of chakra from which to form techniques as well as abnormal physical traits including increased endurance and fast acting regenerative abilities. Their most powerful ability however was their kekkei genkai, the Akumanohōyō, a transformation technique that took the Kiroshika's Ogre-ish traits to its utmost extent. Their already abnormal physical traits were increased further while their body grew a bone-like coating, horns, and an extendable tail. This kekkei genkai generated a near-immunity to certain elemental natures as well.
