Description:
The Suna Hito are a clan that were once known for their skill in merchantry. This set of skilled traveling merchants originally started their trade in the deserts of the wind country where they originally hail from. Although they have originally started within the wind country, they sold their Merchandise to the highest bidder where ever the highest bidder may be. This means that they travel all over the world from one city to the next, giving them no true homeland, but an origin. The Men are the dominant ones in this clan. The women, have been given their shot, however they have been known to make repeated bad sales within, and with such, are looked down upon. This fact rarely conflicts with the women though, as very few of them stay within the clan for very long, and 90 percent of the clan members settle down within a village when they have children, however which village is never really chosen, its whatever one they are closest to when the child is to be born. Being good merchants and fair dealers, they have become renown throughout the world as such, and are often welcomed within all hidden villages and like very much for their business. There is however one thing about them, that makes most people forget about the good they do the world's economy, and thus are mostly looked down upon by the major clans of the world.
Each member of the clan carries a unique bloodlimit ability that tends to make them a scarier group of merchants then needs be. This bloodlimit ability is having a body entirely composed of sand. This bloodlimit and its users always seem to have no weakness to most, especially in the deserts of the wind country, where they can absorb sand and grow to great sizes, and making their abilities seem unlimited. They do however have a few big weaknesses within them, and one big one is the fact of their heart. In order to mold chakra, everyone needs a heart at least. This "heart" so to speak comes in a form much like the rest of their body. A large rock, much larger then the tiny particles of sand that lace the persons body. This large rock however, is very tough and big like most rocks are. The hard rock like heart does contain some soft contents within it, a liquid to be more precise. a Purple gooey sticky liquid, as well as a solidified purple mass that is the clans poor excuse for a heart, protected with the very large covering rock. They have been known to make the already hard rock harder with time and training, however its usually not needed since they large rock is so well hidden within the body, it is rather hard to find.
The whole ability to live is a bit of a tricky subject. The Suna Hito don't have stomachs, and are weak to water. So how are they supplied energy? It was once thought that they had enormous chakra supplies they fueled them, but through rigorous study by medical shinobi, it turns out this is not true. Their energy source, believe it or not, is the Sun. Prolonged exposure from the sun stores energy within their rock hearts which also is used as their hearts and brains. The purple goo seen when killing a Suna Hito, is this energy, which one once thought to be Chakra. The adsorb sun light the same way a plant would, Photosynthesis. The body turns these sun rays from a heat source, to an energy source, fueling the Suna Hito's movements. Energy is stored within a small pocket within the rock heart, similar to how energy is stored in human fat cells. Prolonged time out of the sun will cause the Suna Hito to get drowsy and sleepy like. This also cause them to gain aches and feel what one would call "Hunger". In order to satisfy this, the user most bake within the sun for an "X" amount of time (Use your best judgement, it won;t take as long for a smaller person, etc.).
The heart rests within the body where any most normal heart would lie. The Sun Hito, while decked out in merchant attire, usually wears long brown hooded cloaks as they travel through the desert alot and often. Mostly outside the deserts of Kaze no Kuni, Suna Hito members have been known to wear T - Shirts and Shorts, or even Muscles shirts. However, they don't don't really have actual "clothes" per say. The Suna Hito have learned a special way to manipulate the sand on their body with a mixture of Henge to make the sand on them manipulate and appear to be clothing. Another important thing remember about the clan is that they have been known to regenerate their limbs and most of their other body parts. This allows them to reform their body parts. For example, if their Jaw was punched off, the sand would slowly reform the jaw, should the user have a ready sand source to use and reform the jaw with.
The Suna Hito also have two other inate weaknesses about being composed completely of sand. If they are exposed to extreme heats. Fire Techniques will make movements very hard, and repeated useage of them upon a Suna Hito's body will eventually turn them into glass, or that part of their body into glass. The Suna Hito are completely immobile in a full glass like state, and can never recover from this. They are not dead, but instead lifeless until the glass is broken. When the glass is broken, they can cut it back up into small sand particles again and become whole once more. This however leaves their Heart wide open and exposed, and with such they can easily be finished off in this state. If they are left alone however, they can cut the glass up with their sand release chakra and become glass beings again with their regenerative skills, this however will take much time. Their final weakness would be obviously water. When water hits the and, it becomes weak and mud like, and unusable. When their bodily sand is wet, it becomes heavy and much much harder to move, if movable at all. There is no way to recover from being wet, other then waiting for the sand to dry up and evaporate the water molecules out of it, making it light once again. This, also makes the rocky heart like structure exposed and much weaker and easier to kill them. Most Suna Hito are only about 6' in height, and 350 pounds in weight. Since their body in composed completely of Sand, they weigh alot more then normal humans.
History:
The Suna Hito originally started as two people living the harsh desert life of Kaze no Kuni. It was a man and his wife. Living in the harsh desert made it hard for them to have and maintain a proper income, especially selling random assorted goods to travelers throughout the desert. This income would not suffice for these two young love birds, no, they would travel further and sell their goods to only those who choose to pay as the highest bidder. They traveled every land and sold all types of different goods that ranged from boats, all the way to ninja gear. they were experts in their trade, truly admirable to be honest. And they did, in fact, live and honest life and made an honest and good income. They were good people, but they did make alot of money, enough to perhaps, bear a child. If they were to do such a thing however, they would do it in their homeland of old, and have him grow up a shinobi, making them proud parents. They would embark on a journey, with other merchants who had been taught by them, other people who did as they, and embark on the journey back to Kaze no Kuni. They would pass by many places and eventually find themselves in the desert of Kaze.
Unfortunately, as legend holds, they were lost, and could not find their village in the deep sands of Suna. They wandered and wandered, lost for days, no food and water, supplies running out fast. Soon, as if all hope was lost, they were met by an intense sand storm. Perhaps need for food and water is what propelled them forward in their push to find their once home land village. The sand storm killed countless in their platoon throughout the night, and others were extremely damaged, but there were those, that survived. In the morning, the only thing to be found were loose pieces of cloth and back packs, emptied. They rose, from the desert sands like the sun in the morning. Slowly, but surely, they became into their human form. It took time, but it happened. They quickly learned to form themselves into human forms, and more even after that. Their new sand hearts, destroyed their need for food and water. Water infact, actually turned them into Mud like substance, and destroyed their movement.
Many tests were done on their own people in the deserts to see what could and could not be done. Like most sand creations, too much fire, would cause them to turn into glass statues. The figured out a way while keeping their unique sand forms, to do a special type of Henge to have active at all times to make it appear as if they had clothes on and such. Also, other experiments proved that they did not bleed. Infact, they could only make it appear as if thy had a human form, when in reality they did not. Only sand was revealed on the part of the body that was effected by the strike. Infact, they did not even have organs, other then one large rock like structure that held their heart, a purple substance, and some veins. This, was their main source of life, and if it was damaged or destroyed, they would obviously die. This "Rock Heart" as it were however unknowingly to them, did in fact have more then one organ within it. Something happened during the storm that compacted their hearts and brains together in one large rock (Yes, they can be affected by Genjutsu). It would not take long for this odd individuals to take up in Sunakagure, once they actually finally found it. Their children, would be borned and blessed or cursed, as some found it, with the same traits, and it appeared, as if a Kekkei Genkei had formed about these people. They would be given their own section within Sand Village by the Second Kazekage, and their clan would form. They would live with each other as merchants, still traveling the world, thus making it possible for more of them to born throughout the rest of the world.
Today, they reside mainly in Sunakagure, but it is not unlikely to see them throughout the rest of the world or in other ninja villages.
