Aburame
The Aburame are infamous for the usage of unique insects with their techniques. The Aburame breed and wield Kikai; a name given to several species of parasitic insects capable of devouring chakra from all forms of life. The Kikai’s symbiotic relationship with the Aburame enables their host to control them instinctively.

Hive Body - Passive
An Aburame is implanted with Kikai at birth, to both serve as shelter for the tiny insects and to enable them to develop a resistance to the Kikai’s chakra draining effects. To the average shinobi, the Kikai would rapidly deplete their reserves of chakra, but by the time the Aburame are skilled enough to wield the Kikai in combat, their own bodies have long since developing the resistance needed to serve as a hive for thousands of the small insects.
Rank 1/2/3: The user's non-Aburame Techniques cost +10%/7%/5% more CP and any Chakra Burn on the user deals +50% damage when not maintaining any [Kikai Swarms]. However all actions taken by [Kikai Swarms] ignore any debuffs on the user.
Notes:
---
- Attacks made by the [Kikai Swarms] do not count as attacks made by the user, and any conditionals would need to specify "by a [Kikai Swarm]" or not specify a target at all to take effect.
Kikai Swarm - Passive
Breeding millions of Kikai insects within their body over their lifetime, an Aburame can unleash swarms at will. Controlling them from afar, the Kikai can perform a variety of techniques as the Aburame requires.
Rank 1/2/3: The user may generate a [Kikai Swarm] every 0.5 seconds for 0 AP. For 0.5 AP and 3% Max CP, the user can create additional [Kikai Swarms] that have HP equal to the CP expended. While active, the user can perform Basic Strikes using any of the active [Kikai Swarm] in place of an equipped weapon, dealing Basic Strike damage on a successful hit and inflicting Chakra Bite. The user may have a maximum of 2/3/4 [Kikai Swarms] at a time.
Special Action - Recall: The user may recall any number of [Kikai Swarms] for no cost, dispersing the swarm and regaining CP equal to the Kikai Swarm's remaining HP. Any CP that exceeds the user’s maximum CP is lost.
Notes:
- Basic Strikes made by the user’s [Kikai Swarms] use count as Non-Elemental Ninjutsu, using Ninjutsu Accuracy and Buffs instead of Taijutsu,
- Basic Strikes performed this way do not count as a Taijutsu technique or Melee Contact.
- Basic Strikes performed this way deal Elemental Damage.
- This does not count as a Creation or Clone technique.
- [Kikai Swarms] expended for Aburame Techniques cannot be recalled with the Recall special action unless otherwise stated.
- Chakra Bite drains 1% of the target's maximum CP and the [Kikai Swarm] regains HP equal to the same amount (this may exceed its maximum HP)
---
Pheromone Release - Bloodline Style
While a Kikai can naturally be controlled by an Aburame through their own chakra, they are still insects and as such their nature allows the Aburame to trigger natural instincts that exist amongst all insects. An Aburame is able to produce a variety of pheromones to induce their Kikai into an extremely heightened state.
Rank 1/2/3: The user enters into this style selecting a Focused/Scatter/Aggression Pheromone to release.
- Focused Pheromone - Attacks made with [Kikai Swarms] are made with +2 Accuracy.
- Scatter Pheromone - Attacks made with [Kikai Swarms] that initially miss may attempt to target a new target at +0 Accuracy or the same target again at -3 Accuracy.
- Aggression Pheromone - Attacks made with [Kikai Swarms] deal twice the Basic Strike damage.
Cost: 0.5 AP and 120 CP/rnd.
Notes:
- The user may switch Pheromones for 0.5 AP and 120 CP.
- Pheromones affect any offensive techniques made with the [Kikai Swarms].
- Pheromones last for 30 seconds or until a new Pheromone is activated.
- Counts either as Chakra or Physical Style. Must be declared upon entering.
---
Kikai Clone - Non-Elemental Ninjutsu
Controlling a cloud of insects, the Aburame can release a large amount of Kikai and shape it to their exact size. Due to this unique composition of chakra and living creatures, this technique creates the most deceiving clone possible without Genjutsu.
Rank 1/2/3: Converts an existing [Kikai Swarms] into a [Kikai Clone] of the user, retaining its current HP and gaining secondaries equal to -9/-8/-7 of the user's and AP equal to 1/4 of the user’s. The [Kikai Clone] can perform up to E/D-Rank Non-Elemental Ninjutsu the user knows at Master Rank and Bloodline Techniques at Rank 1. Rank 3 allows this Technique to be affected by Pheromone Release. When under the effect of Pheromone Release the [Kikai Clone] gains the following effects:
- Focused Pheromone - The user gains +2 Stealth vs Awareness tests.
- Scatter Pheromone - The user creates 2 [Kikai Clones], this uses a single [Kikai Swarm] and the HP is split evenly between the 2 [Kikai Clone].
- Aggression Pheromone - The [Kikai Clone] may no longer use Ninjutsu Techniques and gains a copy of the user’s currently equipped weapon, excluding augments, allowing use of E/D-Rank Taijutsu Techniques of the matching sub-type.
Cost: 1.5 AP and 240 CP, 120 CP/rnd.
Notes:
- Switching Pheromones while there is an active [Kikai Clone] will immediately switch the effects to the new one.
- [Kikai Clones] count as a [Kikai Swarm] and all rules and limits related to [Kikai Swarm] still apply.
- [Kikai Clones] may use the Recall special action to end the Kikai Clone Technique.
---
Kikai Dome - Non-Elemental Ninjutsu
The Aburame can release a flood of insects to encapsulate themselves or their prey, either for protection or for isolation. A trapped opponent has drastically reduced vision as the countless insects slowly rob them of their precious Chakra.
Rank 1/2/3: May attempt to trap a single target (including self or ally) at +1/+2/+3 accuracy with an active [Kikai Swarm]. On a successful hit, this creates an [Kikai Dome] with HP equal to 1350/1690/2025. The Kikai Dome has the following properties:
- All Offensive Techniques directed at or used by a target within the [Kikai Dome] become a Blind Shot, and on a miss the damage is dealt to the [Kikai Dome] instead. Any excess damage will attempt to hit the original target at -3 accuracy.
- Every 10 seconds, the user can choose to make a Ninjutsu Check vs the trapped target, and on success the [Kikai Dome] deals CP Damage equal to half the [Kikai Dome]’s remaining HP and restoring the Kikai Dome’s HP for an equal amount.
- Rank 3 allows this Technique to be affected by Pheromone Release, with the following appropriate effect:
- Focused Pheromone - +2 to the ninjutsu check vs the trapped target.
- Scatter Pheromone - May target 2 targets
- Aggression Pheromone - May be used for basic strikes that do not count as blind shots against a trapped target.
Special Action - Swarming Kikai Dome: Using [Kikai Swarm]’s Recall Special Action, the user may choose to infuse one additional [Kikai Swarm] into the Kikai Dome instead of the user, adding its current HP to the [Kikai Dome] current HP..
Cost: 2 AP and 450 CP, 225 CP/rnd.
Notes:
- The [Kikai Swarm] used for Kikai Dome original HP is ignored, any additional HP the [Kikai Swarm] had over the Kikai Dome’s HP is lost.
- May be maintained for a maximum of 30 seconds.
- The user can only have 1 active Kikai Dome at a time.
- Kikai Dome can have a maximum of 1 additional Kikai Swarms infused into it using Swarming Kikai Dome Special action.

Swarm Master - Passive
Reinforcing their bodies to be able to withstand becoming a host of the most dangerous Kikai species, the Aburame-Hashoku can unleash more adaptive Kikai swarms that can change the outcomes of a battle. Able to continuously produce stronger Kikai with each passing generation these swarms become a true force to be reckoned with as the host ages.
Rank 1/2/3: The user’s [Kikai Swarms] now cost 5%/7%/10% of their Max CP when created and now have a maximum limit of 4/5/6 [Kikai Swarms]. In addition, the Chakra Bite effect now drains 2% of the target's Max CP and when the user uses the [Kikai Swarm]’s Recall Special Action, the user may choose to regain the [Kikai Swarm]’s remaining HP as Temporary HP or normal CP.
---
Kikai Subspecies - Passive
Basic species of Kikai are first introduced into an Aburame during their birth, but for Aburame-Hashoku additional, more exotic Kikai are also introduced as they mature. An Aburame-Hashoku can eventually utilize a vast variety of Kikai subspecies and cross-breeds, increasing their versatility when the situation deems it.
Effect: The user gains access to Kochu/Kidaichu/Rinkaichu swarms. When the user creates a [Kikai Swarm], they may choose to instead create one of the following Kikai Subspecies:
- [Kochu Swarm] - Upon creation the user selects an Injury Type Poison in their inventory. A single use of the chosen Injury Type Poison is consumed. For 10 seconds all Techniques used with the [Kochu Swarm] apply the chosen Injury Type Poison.
- [Kidaichu Swarm] - The first successful Single Target Technique used with the [Kidaichu Swarm] will make an additional Ninjutsu Check against the target. On a hit, the [Kidaichu Swarm] is no longer a valid target, the victim’s CP Costs are increased by 10% for the next 10 seconds and the user can no longer use the [Kidaichu Swarm] for techniques. After the 10 second duration the [Kidaichu Swarm] becomes a normal [Kikai Swarm]. The user's [Kikai Swarm] Recall Special Action cannot be used on a [Kidaichu Swarm].
- [Rinkaichu Swarm] - A successful Called Shot made with a [Rinkaichu Swarm] will attempt to inflict a second level of Called Shot (rolled separately) with -10% chance.

Sochukon
There is a small and unrecognised branch of the Aburame Bloodline, they are called the Sochukon. On rare occasions, an Aburame's body will eventually become incompatible to host their own Kikai nest, these unfortunates are usually shunned or exiled. Though no longer accepted by the Aburame Clan, there are those Souchukon who go on to forge a new path, embracing their bloodline aberration by taking up specially modified weapons to house their Kikai Swarms and adapting their Aburame Techniques to grant them powers akin to and sometimes exceeding those of their denied heritage.
