from a roleplaying standpoint it would be fine because whichever clan(the character lineage) you choose first will just accept you as a clan member and fill in your memory about your past with the clan.

 the downside to this is that it would put all clans(the character lineage) under gm control.

 im not sure of a way to make clans(people that play the game together) and clans(the individual character lineage) work together? except to call^this clan an organization??

but this idea kinda clashes with whats planed so it may be a moot point. This is from the FAQ!

What are the chances of getting a Kekkei Genkai?
Extremely low. During character creation a special algorithm will be used to randomly grant some players a Kekkei Genkai and/or select a couple of players and give them a genetic mutation that results in a special power. These people will also be given the opportunity to pass on their special power to new players and progressively build a clan consisting of people with that special power. The ones getting a special power from someone else in this manner can call it a Kekkei Genkai (a technique limited to inheritance by blood). And in the same way the people that inherited their power from someone else will be given the opportunity to pass that power on to new players. This will result in some truly exclusive clans that have a Kekkei Genkai circulating.

once kekkei genkai are in the game can you chose one at character creation putting you in that clan and if you do dose this effect the algorithm chances of getting new kekkei genkai?

it only works if your chakra reserves are low, once full it stops. If that happens mid jutsu it will connect and you will take damage say from the flame jutsu all ready in game... the other thing is its week against genjutsu if you are c.c. then taijutsu can finish you... i wanted to put this up there because i think it would help people think of other ways to counter such a ability

Since genjutsu itself,doesn't cause any damage,and ninjutsus would be absorbed,you would be only vulnerable to taijutsu.


But if your opponent isnt skilled in taijutsu at all,the fight is pretty much over.
You would just have to spam very strong jutsus that consume a large ammount of chakra,so that you are always out of charka and able to absorb your enemies ninjutsu,s.

true but abilities such as these make people train  in more then ninjutsu.
even if there only basicly skilled at taijutsu if your opponent can't move because you have trained good genjutsu then a basic taijutsu is all you will need

this kind of ability is not without precedent either several naruto characters used abilities like this pain and kesama for starters

Jutsu Name:heavenly regeneration
Jutsu Type:Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: self healing ninjutsu
Jutsu Level: beginner to master(basted on chakra control)
Chakra Nature:none
Jutsu Range:short
Effects if hit:jutsu cast on ones self transforms chakra into health.
the effectiveness is as follows:
                 chakra used         health gained
beginner-=     10                             1
novice   =       5                               1
intermediate=  1                               1
expert=           1                               5
master =         1                               10

jutsu Name:healing wind
Jutsu Type:Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description:wide area( AOE) medical ninjutsu
Jutsu Level: beginner to master based on level of bass jutsus
Chakra Nature:wind and water nature release(optional Kekkei genkai but was thinking more like a calibration jutsu requireing 2 medical shinobi)
Jutsu Range:mid
Effects if hit:any wound begins to clot and close at varying rates depending on level of mastery stops any tic- damage and recovers a little to a lot of health

Kekkei Genkai Name:Suponji(SPONGE)

Kekkei Genkai Description:absorb chakra of all natures

Kekkei Genkai Effects:suponji is a continuous clan ability  ninjutsu attack of a single chakra nature gets broken down into chakra and absorbed through the skin. this can only occur when there is room in the user's chakra reserves. at higher levels this becomes a passive effect. at its highest level you can draw chakra out of your opponent's body by contact with there skin.(Edit) This effect must be trained and you can only absorb jutsu that are within your ability to control. the more chakra control the jutsu uses the you must have chakra control one level higher.

Kekkei Genkai Rank:C-A

Would it have different paths and skill sets?:(D-S)
C= tree skill enables effect on block

B=tree skill enables passive ability always on

A=(scroll needed) learn suponji taijutsu

Would it have Jutsu?:(A&S only)
taijutsu with grapple combos

i think all kekkei genkai should open up a  added level in your MAIN skill tree (genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu) but not all of them would necessarily allow you to learn new and unique jutsu...the A and S ranks would be the villages jutsu which as has been well established only a very few of games population can ever achieve.
D-B kekkei genkai can have other stat helpful effects such as reduced damage, increased chakra reserves, increased health, longer cc. times, stronger physical damage, increased accuracy,ect.

But its still not RP,if you dont act how your character would act.

if you don't act the way the character would act ist that the same as being a rogue?

except science supports the arguments that he dose exists more then it disproves it
