Welcome to Gaia! ::

What is a Clan?

A clan is a family of ninja who share common ancestry and as a result are bound together. Clan's maintain a number of secret training methods and techniques that they guard not only against foreign villages but often against other clan's even within their home village. Some clan's have even gone so far as to develop Bloodline Limits that members of other clan's are physically incapable of reproducing.

Clan Alliances and Wars

At certain times clan's may form alliances with one another or wage wars against one another. Often this will result in members of the clan acting in a pre-prescribed way towards members of other clan's. This is not a reflection of your character, but merely an extension of the relations between your clan's and can lead to many interesting story lines.

General Avoidance

Lone Wolf

While it is often used as a story telling element, we encourage individuals to avoid the lone wolf mentality that comes with building extinct clan's. Many village leaders will not allow these sorts of clan's in their village due to the clan regulations and as a result it is often very difficult to build these clan's.

Jumping the Gun

Many who join our community jump to the conclusion that their idea for a clan is unique and will build their own clan without exploring the existing clan's to search for similarities. As a result there are often many clan's with overlapping abilities that could easily be merged together into a single all-inclusive clan. It is often much easier to search for an already accepted clan than it is to build your own and most clan leaders are more than willing to accept new members.
