--Gens Umbra--

The criminals of Gaia. The world has a dark side and this is where you find it. Gens Umbra is a rolep laying Guild, based on the Yakuza of the real world, the setting takes place under the very streets of Barton. The entrance to this large underground "village" is located on the wall surrounding Barton via a secret door disguised as a piece of the wall. The village is comprised of four "Houses". Sub Families with in a Main Family. The four Houses are Special forces that can fit to the ideals of the individuals. Each has a different view on how things should be run, and they don't always get along with other houses. This leads to the ever famous Family wars, that have been known to last centuries.

Kaibon (Kie-a-bon) The leader of a sub-family. These are very rare and many things come into play for a person to be allowed to start a sub-family. Not as powerful as a Main House. But have the ability to vote on Issues brought up in the Hall of Heroes. They are loyal to the family leader they came from.

Family War Like most families, not everyone gets along. this in turn, turns into a family war. Most family wars are fought through secrets, blackmail, and if necessary, Battle between a Houses Greatest warrior. (Battle system uses the dice function - See Battle section for more information)

Those who have no house that they belong to are seen as out casts, lower then those who belong to houses. They have no protection from any member of the Houses.
