Hachiouji

The Hachiouji are a Hachitou clan with the ability to control shadow

History
The Hachiouji were often regarded to be malefic, presumed to be Oni because of the nature of their ability.

Abilities
The Hachiouji are able to create and manipulate darkness and shadows, as well as manipulating existing shadows. The ability is incredibly versatile and capable of being used and manipulated in a variety of different ways. First and foremost is the "texture" of a clan member’s shadows. Some are seen manifesting darkness in an energy-like form, a solid form, smoke-like form and liquid form, and switching between these phases. The user is capable of creating beams, arcs and waves of darkness, shaping their darkness into makeshift constructs such as blades and shields. The Hachiouji are contrast by their counterpart the Kurusu. Contrary to belief, neither clan is superior to the other, as they exist in equilibrium. Light cannot exist without darkness just as easily as there is no darkness without light. Thus, in a battle between Light and Darkness, none truly has an advantage. The advantage comes from the talent and usage of the clansmen.
