Clan History
The Red Ink clan, originally founded by a Jounin in Konoha over a century ago. When the clan was first established the Kekkei Genkai abilities were only used for decorative purposes, early members of the clan used their ink manipulation techniques as a way of earning money quickly; creating great works of art at a much quicker speed than any other man, using their power to create a simple secure way of messaging. It was not only until two decades later that the clan's abilities were transformed into something more than simple artistic supplementary. A young woman who was a well-known member of the clan had brought to the attention of Kenshi how the abilities could be used for battle. This was considered by some people to be when the clan was truly founded as Ayumi became the first to use Akasumi jutsu in battle and later enhance the capabilities of the current members.
Kenshi was not a big fan of the idea to use and create clan jutsu for battle, he believed that it was enough to just have defensive techniques but Ayumi felt different. This created many difficulties between the two. Soon enough Ayumi split away from the original branch of the clan and since some of the members believed her to be the real founder of what the Akasumi clan was all about, they chose to follow her and eventually started their own branch known to many as the OFFENSIVE branch of the clan and Kenshi's to be the DEFENSIVE and SUPPORTIVE branch. The branches weren't really seen as rivals or anything like that, they just had different views on how to use their Kekkei Genkai so there was no hostility between the two and they often worked together when required to.
Both Kenshi and Ayumi recently passed away, Ayumi died in battle and Kenshi of old age leaving the clan without a leader, although many have suggested that the clan designate a new leader the majority have decided that there has not been any member yet worthy enough to take that title, for either of the branches.

Specialized Jutsu
~Flames of power come to life when people need it the most...~
Jutsu Name: Inscribe Mark
Jutsu Description: By first dipping their finger in ink the user can use chakra to place a mark (either a general Mark or a readied mark) on a target or upon themselves. A general mark can be activated with any Mark the user knows, but is less powerful. A Readied mark can only be activated with a certain technique, but uses the techniques full power. As long as the user can maintain contact, they can inscribe one mark per post on another person, or three on themselves, at no additional chakra cost, although the maximum duration of this technique is four posts. This jutsu can also be used to inscribe a single mark on any surface.
The Marks made by this jutsu only last for twenty four hours, afterwards they fade away. The marks can be removed early if the user wills them away. Another ninja who has a mark placed on them can force it away after three posts, if their level is higher than the user's when the mark was placed on their body.
The user can have a limited number of marks on themselves at any time. The total number of marks allowed at one time is 2 for Genin (+1 each rank above). They may start a topic with half this total, unless there is a logical reason why they would prepare more ( I.E. They knew they were going to fight a strong opponent, or they knew the chuunin exams were that day).
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: B
Stamina Cost: 18
Jutsu Name: Pull The Mark
Jutsu Description: The user can use their chakra to pinch the ink of a mark, and pull it off of their skin. They can then slap it onto any surface, including enemies. The ink will seep through any clothing or armor which doesn't guard against chakra and attempt to place itself on an enemies skin. Mark removal functions the same as Inscribe Mark. The mark that is placed counts for the user's total marks until it is activated or erased. Any mark that isn't placed on another surface after being pulled disappears.
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: A
Stamina Cost: 20
Jutsu Name: Mark of the Shadow
Jutsu Description: The user pushes chakra in to the mark on their skin and after glowing briefly the mark evaporates into a thick black(or another color depending on the color of the ink) smoke. This smoke can take on any shape, but is still just that, insubstantial smoke. The shadow's shape will reform after any attack, and cannot be destroyed. The shadow can destroy itself to form a mark on the victims skin. This mark functions as though it was placed their with Inscribe Mark.
General: If this jutsu is used with a general tattoo only one shadow is created. The shadow has the same mass as the caster for creating it's form. This version has the shorter duration.
Readied: If activated from a mark designed to use this jutsu the user can create three shadows equal to their size, or one giant shadow. Each shadow can still inscribe only one mark. The three shadows can merge and separate freely. This version has the longer duration.
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: B

Jutsu Name: Mark of Blades
Jutsu Description:The user activates this mark to create a small collection of thrown blades. These blades act as normal blades, except they vanish a moment after they hit something.
General: Summon five kunai or shuriken.
Readied: Summon ten kunai or shuriken, or three windmill shuriken.
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: B

Jutsu Name: Mark of Karma
Jutsu Description: This mark allows the user to inflict upon his foes the same damage they have inflicted upon him. Once this mark is placed upon someone it begins recording the damage they deal. When activated the mark inflicts them with similar wounds.
General: The mark only records damage inflicted onto the user of the mark, and only causes pain similar to the wounds, no actual damage.
Readied: The mark records all damage inflicted by the wearer, and inflicts pain similar to that inflicted on the wearer's victims, although it deals no actual damage.
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: C
Stamina Cost: 11
Jutsu Name: Mark of the Beast
Jutsu Description: This mark can only be activated from a Readied Mark. This jutsu acts similar to the summoning technique, except it summons creatures made of ink and infused with chakra.
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Grade: B
Stamina Cost: 16
Jutsu Name: Mark of Submission
Jutsu Description: When this mark is activated it slithers along the victims flesh and forms two rings, one on either wrist. Immediately the victim is hit with a surprising surge of chakra that shoves them downward. Most individuals would be caught off guard and brought at least to their knees, although less experienced ninjas may get a face full of dirt.
General: The victim is pushed to their knees every few moments for 2 posts. Can be resisted by someone whose strength is higher than the caster's chakra, although it may still distract them.
Readied: The victim has a constant downward push for 3 posts. Can be resisted by someone whose strength is more than twice the user's chakra. Anyone who can't resist but manages to fight it will likely stumble, and feel as though they have a massive weight on their back.
