1. Please indicate the name and Japanese translation for the kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta you wish to create.

Juuryoku (重力lit. 'Gravity')

2. If it is an elemental kekkei genkai or a kekkei tōta, indicate which elements it is composed of. If it is not an elemental kekkei genkai, however, you may simply indicate so below.

Pseudo Kekkei Tota: Earth Release and Lightning Release, and Yin or Yang release.

3. Briefly summarize its capabilities and abilities. Use as much detail as possible in this process.

'''Juuryoku (重力lit. 'Gravity') allows a user to manipulate the gravitational field of a zone around him, or of masses he is touching. The most fundamental power of Juuryoku, is that it can enhance or reduce the laws of attraction between masses, or transfer the gravitational influence of one object into another. This is done by combining the foundational properties of earth with the divisive nature of lightning. By supplementing this potent mixture of chakra with yin or yang and channeling it into a mass or zone, the mass-energy potential of the object or field can be changed. Because of the expansive and pervasive influence of gravity, this power has a broad number of applications. Example Uses: •	Clinging to a surface using artificial gravity •	Crushing or rending objects with touch •	Hurling masses or projectiles at high speeds •	Creating whirling fields of debris to inconvenience foes and deflect attacks •	 Reducing the effective weight of a heavy object •	Increasing the gravity of your foes, slowing their movements •	Increasing your own weight in order to become immovable •	Creating an artificial black hole by making the gravity of an object exceed its internal resistances •	Pull down a meteor from space by gradually altering its course over time'''

4. What are its weakness? Briefly summarize each below.

'''Juuryoku is both mentally and physically exhausting, since it requires fine chakra control and deep chakra reserves. Since the magnitude of control over an object or zone’s gravity is proportionate to the chakra expended, changing the gravity of large objects or expansive areas can be extremely taxing. Moreover, the farther from the user an object is, the less influence he has over its gravity. When employing the field variant of this power, his control over gravity near him is very high, but diminishes to nothing at long range. Finally, many elemental releases such as fire, lightning or wind are not meaningfully impacted by changes in gravity.'''

5. Is your kekkei genkai/tōta clan specific? Which clan wields it? How can they awaken it, or does it appear in all members regardless?

'''It is not clan specific. This particular bloodline is exceedingly rare, being possessed by only a single individual every few generations.

There are few people in the Iwagakure that have any knowledge about this rare kekkei genkai; only the elders of the xxxx clan hold manuscripts describing this elusive bloodline. When it was discovered that xxxx possessed a dual natured chakra of lightning and earth, the young boy taken from his parents and entered their service. They wasted no time in preparing him for his Trial.

The xxxx clan has an ancient tradition, whereby the measure of those who held the potential of Juuryoku would be tested. To see if he possessed the will necessary to harness this gift, he was interred within a dark earthen cave. Without remorse, and with a strange semblance of proud solemnity, the elders placed a massive boulder over the cave entrance. The fate of the boy lie in hands of the gods of the earth. Would he gain their blessings, and the power of Juuryoku? Or would he fail, and be cast into darkness forever? Time would only tell.

The cave was no more than three yards long, and two wide. Its narrow confines felt crushingly restrictive. The boy was given neither food nor water, and was left alone. His will would determine his fate; if he had the strength to break free of the cave and shift the boulder, he would… if he lacked resolve, he would fail and die of dehydration.

The first day he cried and begged to escape. His halfhearted attempts at employing Juuryoku met with abject failure; his heart lacked resolve and his mind was fearful and unfocussed. The second day, he became overcome by his hunger and thirst, and tried to dig his way free. His fingertips were bloody messes before he gave up and made a feeble attempt at Juuryoku, but like his first day, his attempts were futile. With an unsteady heart and mind, he lacked an essential nature. It was not until the third day, after he had lost his resolve to escape, and embraced his inevitable death, that he found the peace of mind he needed. He turned inward, dispelling his exhaustion, hunger and thirst. He abandoned his fears and insecurities. He became one with the earth. He became one with its solidarity, its form and sensation. He could feel it drawing him into it. The attractive, encompassing power of the earth was awash within him. Almost unconsciously, he reached out with that power, and grasped the boulder as though it were a pebble in his hand. With a final effort, he cast the boulder aside with tremendous force, and Juuryoku awakened within him.

The boulder shattered through the roof of the temple. The elders smiled; a new disciple of their holy line had been born.'''
