Sorcerer Families (術師じゅつし家け Jutsushi Ke?) are clans of jujutsu sorcerers that pass down inherited cursed techniques through generations. These attributes make sorcerer clans prominent figures in the jujutsu world. This is especially true for the Big Three Sorcerer Families (御三家ごさんけ Gosanke?) who hold the most prestige and influence due to their bloodlines' innate talent for jujutsu.
In this server, some clans are publicily available and their inherited techniques up for grabs. You can ask a mod to take one of the techniques listed below!
When you are taking an inherited technique, the Base Technique CANNOT be adjusted from what's listed on the document. Though sub-abilities listed are all optional to take for your OCs as you can submit custom sub-abilities for inherited techniques.
Do note that you can actually have your OCs be a part of some of these clans as part of their backstory, though they just won't have the inherited CTs.
The Gojo Family (五ご条じょう家け Gojō Ke?) is a clan that who descends from Michizane Sugawara, one of Japan's renowned Big Three Vengeful Spirits. They only have two inherited techniques -- The Limitless and Boogie Woogie
The Gojo clan hold their heads high with pride, considering themselves to be above everyone else. They are quite pompous and act like royals, dressing up in fancy garbs and showing off their wealth and status at every opportunity. While the Gojo do not have the number of sorcerers as the Zen'in or Kamo, they have a long-standing tradition of powerful cursed techniques that have earned them respect and fear among their peers. These techniques, such as Limitless, Boogie-Woogie, or even the Six Eyes, have earned them high status and influence in the sorcerer world. They have a tough time swallowing their pride and admitting their wrongs, going as far as to cover up any mistakes or failures to protect their reputation and maintain their perceived superiority.
The Zen'in Clan stand heavily against the Gojo clan due to conflicts in the past, and hatred between the two clans running deep into their blood. Many of the Zen'in and Gojo members, higher-ups and common members alike can be found showing distaste and insulting others incessantly. Despite this, war hasn't broken out between the two clans for a while due to mutually assured destruction. Ten Shadows and Cursed Spirit Manipulation pose quite a threat to the Gojo clan, as much as they wouldn't like to admit it.
Due to a mutual hatred of the Zen'in, the Fujiwara clan stands with the Gojo, the two clans having a relatively positive relationship. They have animosity with the Kamo due to their alliance with the Fujiwara, though it wasn't outright hatred, the two clans could never be on good terms.
Gojo Clan members claim to be accepting and open on the outside but the higher-ranking members will often shun those who do not meet their standards or challenge their authority. They have bigoted undertones, displaying xenophobia and racism within their clan. While they won't say anything to outsiders, tolerating them unlike the Kamo and Zen'in, many Gojo will frown upon their fellow kin marrying or taking in someone from a different race, country or social status.
The Zenin Family (禪ぜん院いん家け Zen'in Ke?) is a combat-oriented clan where those in control only value and respect power. The sorcerers of the Zenin clan place an emphasis on talent in sorcery above all else to the point where they will oppress even their own relatives. Their ideology is self-righteous and archaic but the fighting strength of the clan is very potent. Enough so that they constructed battle units in order to defend the jujutsu world.
The Zenin family has two inherited techniques.
The Kamo Family (加か茂も家け Kamo Ke?) is considered the core of the conservative faction at the heart of jujutsu headquarters and are close with the higher-ups of jujutsu headquarters. They are an orthodox group who value tradition and blood lineage above all else.
The current inherited technique is Blood Manipulation.
The Inumaki Family (狗いぬ巻まき家け Inumaki Ke?) is not one of the Big Three Families, but they are a widely recognized sorcerer clan made up of cursed speech users marked with the Snake Eyes and Fangs sigil across their mouths.
Their current inherited CT is Cursed Speech.
The Fujiwara Family (?), also known as the Toh, was a prominent sorcerer family during the golden age of jujutsu. They had at least two elite squadrons of sorcerers including the Sun, Moon, and Stars Squad of the Northern Fujiwara forces.
The Fujiwara family has been altered greatly within this server due to the lack of lore in canon. Instead of granting a Cursed Technique, they have an inherited Heavenly Restriction. In this server, the Fujiwara clan hold a value of sacrifice-- Believing to gain something, another thing must be taken. Their Heavenly Restrictions correspond with these ideologies.
Body over Soul, where the body forsakes their cursed energy in return for a strengthened body.
And soul over body, where the user leaves their body weakened in return for their cursed technique to be greatly bolstered.
The clan members value eachother a lot, considering the 'Body over Soul' restriction sometimes leads to members being shunned by the Jujutsu Society. Without cursed energy, some would argue those with this restriction aren't even sorcerers.
Body over Soul users are relatively common within the Fujiwara clan, being easier to create and come across, also objectively weaker than their Soul over Body counterparts in most cases. Despite this, both sides of the clan get along exceptionally well, ironically due to one thing-- Oppression. Jujutsu Society heavily oppress and kick down Body over Soul users. People with this restriction are not even considered to be a sorcerer, due to failing the basic condition of being one, being able to see curses.
For decades, the Fujiwara have fought off this oppression, having their kin being outcasts. Body over Soul users have been trained in special classes by the Fujiwara for many years due to their inability to attend Jujutsu Technical schools. However, this has changed in recent times. With the arrival of more open-minded Principals at Jujutsu Tech schools, such as Jian Wei in Tokyo, Jujutsu HQ were pushed back and regrettably agreed to allowing Body over Soul users to attend the school. That being said, they are never to be promoted above Grade Four and often find it hard collecting their pay as the system is intentionally rigged against them.
The only reason why Body over Soul users are allowed to go on higher grade missions is due to a lack of care from the Higher-ups for their lives.
On the flip side, with their scarcity and true proficiency for Jujutsu, Soul over Body users are cherished by Jujutsu HQ. They'll often find themselves paid more, promoted easier, higher-ups attempting to goad them into their ranks. Most other clans or people may fall for this, but after seeing the way Jujutsu HQ treat their counterparts, many Soul over Body users don't give in. It makes it evident that Jujutsu HQ is trying to pick them based on bias for their power rather than their achievements, toys for their liking.
The Fujiwara are one of the nicer clans, the oppression knitting their bonds even tighter, that being said, it leads to the clan having a distrust for others and society. They have a decent relationship with the Gojo clan, albeit not perfect due to some of the high-ranking members in the clan having conservative views. They stand against the Kamo and Zen'in, being the main oppressors.
