Youkai] Clan Information 
 
| h i s t o r y | 

There have been many legends told over the years of the Youkai clan, and this is one of many It was said that hundreds of years ago, when Sunagakure was at it's birth, that there was a family within the sato dedicated to summoning souls from the depths of Hades to aid them in their battles. The tale is told that the family had perfected a summoning technique to combine the soul with their own body as a host. This technique, in turn, would also increase their techniques while being able to release the souls from the seal on their backs to fight at the hosts will. This would have been a good idea, had the souls not fed off of the host's chakra therefore weakening the host whenever it was time to feed. Some members in the clan died from the stress on their body caused by the souls, but those that were strong survived, and carried the heavy burden as the souls became permanently attached to the host. 

Many members in the clan feared that their death would come of the souls and desperately searched for a way to reverse the summon. Spending years calling out pleas of help that were only left unanswered, the clan members had run out of time, as it took only a year for the soul to completely merge with the body and mind. Those who were merged with their souls have been found to gain split personalities; the one of their own being, and the one of the soul that inhabits them. Some killed themselves to rid of the madness, while others used their newfound attachment to their advantage and strengthened their skills. Those that lived grew, and continued the clan name by bearing children. Little did they know that because the souls had merged with the body, their DNA would also be shared, causing confusion among the cells of the child. This would leave the children with the same fate as their parents; a host to a soul. The souls would already be merged with the children at birth, who had no escape from the curse that was born to them. The children, unlike the adults, tended to control the souls better and maintain a stable mind state. However in some, the mental instability remained. Or so the legend was told. 

Hundreds of years later the clan still lives on, with the members becoming more and more powerful with each generation. The clan has maintained strong political affiliation with Suna ever since the hundred year wars, and two of the Clan Hopefuls, Youkai Kyo, and Youkai Karei, hold positions as two of the three Sannin trained by the Kazekage. The clan has remained on good terms with the Sato and is an ever strengthening clan that has yet to see a limit to their Jutsu. 

| b a c k g r o u n d | 

This clan of Suna is, for the most part, very peaceful and devoted. The personality of the souls waver from very light hearted and willing to help, to extremely masochistic, which can be a danger to both the lives of the host's enemy and the host themselves. The souls' powers are recognizable by their dark purple/ black aura and use of fear-bringing genjutsu. 

| b l o o d l i n e | 

When the souls are called upon for use during battle, they appear out of the Kanji on the host's back. The souls always appear as a black cloaked figure, as the identity of the soul is not recognized when summoned. The soul is joined at the waist to the host's back. The souls are able to use tools and weapons, and have their own Chakra to use. The souls move to the hosts will, and have never been seen moving on free will. 

| g e n e o l o g y | 

With the soul inhabiting the body when born, the clan has developed DNA strand confusions such as multi-colored hair ranging from black and blonde, to white, brown, and red. Also other noticeable features include differently colored eyes and lips. 

| c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s | 

All carriers of souls have the Kanji of the name of the soul sealed on their back down the spinal cord. It is said when the soul is released that it's as if a demon is awakening in the host's body. No other distinguishing characteristics can be found to be common, as the DNA of the members varies as well.
