Hoshigaki

Legend says that the Hoshigaki clan were spawned from the sea itself. Due to their shark-like appearance and ability to breath underwater, one would do well not to encounter a member of this clan while in their element.

Overview
Although few in number, members of the mighty Hoshigaki clan are born with massive chakra reserves. Some say being born from the ocean, the Hoshigaki have absorbed the energy from deep ocean currents and tidal waters. Their complexions are that of sharks with sharpened jagged teeth and smooth wet skin. Members of the Hoshigaki clan are well suited in most faucets of combat, but excel in ninjutsu due to their impressive chakra capabilities.

History
Historical records of the Hoshigaki clan are by far the shortest compared to established clans spread throughout the word. Their legend is that of fiction and non-fiction, and starts at the very bottom of the ocean. Beings born of the sea, at the end of a short autumn day humanoids covered in seaweed and slime emerged in mass on a sandy shore one fisherman recaps. News spread like wild fire, claims of mysterious beings seemingly walking out of the ocean. An old fisherman tale is what most around the world wish to believe, but in true the original story can only be told from a Hoshigaki's point of view.

The clan itself found a desolate yet bountiful island in the middle of the ocean their original home. They lived in relative peace, but only sailors and pirates who ventured near enough to the island found out how savage they can be. Hoshigaki are by nature very territorial as many found, and would have remained in peace if not for the monstrous tropical storm that displaced their settlement, killed women and child, and uprooted the vegetation. With no natural resources to rely, they were forced to migrate inland. Knowing they were in a foreign land they used their fierce, strong-willed nature to claim land. Viewed by many as being just as savage as the Kaguya clan, the families numbers dwindled due to advanced battle strategies and poachers hunting the family for pure sport.

Eventually, the clan was approached by representatives of the Kami clan calling for groups and families in the region to band together for greater survival. And thus the beings of the sea were invited to found the village of Amegakure.
