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

Hiroigui (拾い食い, Scavenging for Food)

'''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.'''

N/A, the Hiroigui is a non-elemental bloodline.

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

The Hiroigui and it's power is can be summarized as consumption based bloodline that enables those that possess it's power to eat of animals, spirits, and even human beings and attain their traits. By consuming a creature, the Date Clan member will begin to exhibit a form of spiritual symbiosis, an evolution on a physical and spiritual level that empowers the host. The traits of the consumed become one with the Date, and they learn to exhibit these abilities and powers, their strengths and weaknesses.

The Consumed empower their host through the spiritual aspects and physical traits they portrayed in their lives or existences, even dipping into the bloodlines once the Date's Hiroigui has progressed far enough through their lifetime. With progressive consumption, the Hiroigui will develop itself more and more, increasing the power of the traits exhibited and the powers when activated, even unlocking further potential down the line. If the consumed creature is of another branching species/creature, then the other bloodlines will begin to slow and grow lax in their progress, varying on the individual. (this will be reviewed by Hexnyx herself, as she retains full rights to the Hiroigui and the Date Clan and it's entirety)

More info can be found on the Hiroigui page.

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

If the creature consumed is a spirit or human, the aspects are still passed on, however, the disabilities will occur strongly and continue to become progressively worse over time through continual consumption. For each spirit, for each human, the Date Clan member will become increasingly broken, their mental state reacting negatively to their victims.

This is the flaw in the bloodline, if a spirit or human being is consumed, the life force of the consumed will begin to turmoil within the Date. The turmoil rages on in their very blood, etched into their being, and digging into their skulls. They become manic over time, losing their sanity - and worse, craving more and more of this human flesh, of the essence of spirits. And with each meal taken, they lose more and more, until they become little more then rabid animals with no cunning, no logic, a loss of sanity leading to a loss of their ability to utilize what they have earned through their bloodline. A thousand voices in their head, with no way to turn back.

'''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?'''

Date Clan, yes, it is Clan specific.

The Hiroigui is a rare bloodline with the Date Clan, further diluted thanks to the Clan's nomadic ways of the past, combined with their descension into madness. An example would be, for each Date Clan family, if the parents were to have six children, only one would have the Hiroigui. If only one parent had the Date Bloodline, then the blood would be further broken down, becoming one out of eighteen.

If a Date Clan member with the Hiroigui were to house a child with a mate baring another Kekkei Genkai, and their child were to have the Hiroigui, it would override the bloodline of their child, inhibiting the qualities of their other bloodline from functioning.

If a Date Clan member with the Hiroigui were to select a mate from a Clan with a bloodline, and the children were known to have had no known Kekkei Genkai, it would increase the fertility of the bloodlines in the ancestry, allowing it to more easily come back into the bloodworks, or potentially even in the child itself. This allowed the Date Clan's bloodline to continue being dominant in the future, and to also regenerate deceased or extremely rare bloodlines of forgotten clans.
