The Yuki Honor guard
For one to become an honor Guard the Yuki, you must have done a feat service to the Yuki worth being directly sought after by the head of the clan. Also, you must be in the top six strongest fighters in the Yuki. To demonstrate this, it is usually pro quo to fight a Honor guard or Jin himself to prove your metal.
Upon a passing grade, you will have to vow your life to your purpose, separating yourself from everyone you’ve cared about, your previous life gone and never to return. Then, you must pay a toll, a price that varies from every Honor guard. Upon initiation, you are taught how to use an ancient powerful art passed down by the Yuki for generations: the art of shattering sword.
The Yuki Honor Guard also double as leaders of six different divisions within the Yuki’s infrastructure. They are the strongest warriors in the Yuki’s ranks as well as the strongest of minds. Each one has given up their former life and ties to said life to follow a new path devoted to a lone principle:
Guardian of Knowledge
Guardian of Change
Guardian of Heritage
Guardian of Strength
Guardian of Will
Guardian of Heart
The Guardian of Knowledge is in charge of the vast amount of intel the Yuki have in their possession. Some that is widely known, and some that only Jin himself knows. The Guardian of knowledge also has a diverse skill set due to knowing and memorizing many of the skills and forbidden skills that they have kept under their protection. The Guardian of knowledge has sworn an oath to speak no words to anyone except fellow Honor guards and Jin himself.
The Guardian of Change is devoted to improving the mist from the inside, making brilliant infrastructure in both design and functionality. Creating defenses and powerful fortifications which rarley falter even under the most extreme pressures. Their fighting style is as fickle as it’s title, ever changing to be hard to predict.
The Guardian of Heritage is a valued historian that is aware of the passing of events in rest detail. Has the unique ability to write with chakra on any surface, proving very useful to his occupation. They keeps the history of the Yuki and the mist and records of every person in the village and where they were (to the most part) during key events. They have an ancient fighting style that pre-dates most to the point where it’s considered an extinct fighting style
The Guardian of strength is the sword and shield of the clan, the first one the clan head calls in a time of war. In charge of the arsenal and military training, the Guardian of Strength is unrelenting, only putting up with the cream of the crop. He has the most raw power of ninjutsu amongst the honor guard, and has the most skills in swordsmanship.
The Guardian of Will is seen mostly at Jin’s side. He keeps Jin on course and is there to advise him of possible outcomes and plans. He is incredibly intelligent and make foolproof plans that proved to turn the tables in the civil war. His tactics are second to only Jin himself within the ranks of the Yuki, and his the key strategist amongst them. His fighting style is all about precision strikes to areas you wouldn’t expect a foe to propel an assault upon.
The Guardian of Heart’s speciality is reading the people. A key advisor directly to him and has the main purpose of being the voice of the clan, being one with the people, keeping Jin updated on the state of the people and if there is unrest or any trouble makers. He is impressive at raising morale and lowering the morale of the enemy. He knows how to build soldiers up and how to shatter them, being a master of psychological warfare. His fighting style props him to always aim for the head, weather to inflict instantly fatal ninjutsu, or cast rather violent genjustu.
