Expanded Clan Listing

We have plenty of families that will welcome new members. And these families are often well-made and come with some lovely goodies.

Instead of being alone, you can create your RPC into one of the families below. All the families below are clans, so you would be blood related somehow to the following people. Some clans are bigger then others. Some are more powerful. And others carry legendary bloodlines. Choose wisely, if you wish to join an existing family.

But, Aye there is always a but. You must gain their permission to join their family. Most people will gladly welcome you. But some clans/families restrict people since they are either powerful or are too big to gain anymore members. Either PM the poster of the family, or ask when you post your RPC. If the Clan poster is no longer active for at least 3 months, you may ask a mod to let you into the clan.

Please read their clan description thoroughly so you may make your RPC accordingly. Some clans live in specific villages. Others have specific fighting styles.

This is a list of all clans that have been posted in the Clan Registry. If your clan is missing, or you would like information added and/or altered in any way, PM an RP moderator and it will be fixed.

Global Clan Listing

Arceo Clan

The mission of the Arceo clan is to find power, and transform their members into the strongest ninjas of Seichi. The members are choosen by the clan’s leader through a careful analysis of their aptitudes and attitudes since their birth, and then they are provided with some power in order to increase their possibilities of success.

Asakura Clan

The Asakura clan are known for their wide variety in jutsu. Most families make their own techniques and then pass them down to their children and in some cases other people. They are generally easy going and carefree, but when they are serious they tend to be brutal.

Bowfingers Clan

The Bowfingers clan is not a ninja clan. They are a clan in the country of fire and are renowned for their archery skills and detection skills. The one's that are destined for great things are often sent to Konoki for ninja training in which they often progress up to chuunin before leaving and returning back to the clan.

Itakami Clan

The clan's purpose is to keep the economy of the world safe from harm, they try do the best they can to protect everyone from the outlaws. They always do their best to protect and help people with less opportunities than they have. They value peace because it is the only thing that is really of any importance in the world of hatred and violence that people live in. They also value kindness to the non-ninja of the world because they are the people that are not as able to protect themselves. They function quickly, quietly and effeciently, using genjutsu to scare and often destroy what their opponents think.

Ne' Clan

This clan believes on the Goddess of Death, a woman with long brown hair that carries a spear at all times and practices arts similar to necromancy. They believe that the goddess allows them to manipulate the dead with training, and those extremely gifted will be able to manipulate life as well. Those that follow the shinobi path are often trained with the art of puppetry and then specialized to bodies. They follow rules created by their religion and believe that one’s soul may only rest in peace if allowed by the Goddess of Death, thus they follow the rules of the religion and offer the souls of a body to the goddess before using it. The use of the body of an enemy as an ally after the ritual is due to their belief that their enemy is the soul and not the body. They also have sins on their religion, like for example the act of using a body without following a ritual first, or using a body of a close friend or family member. The members from this clan tend not to share their feelings frequently and also show subtle changes in mood.

Oda Clan

The Oda clan care deeply about their loved ones and will do anything for them, even if it means separating from the ones they love in order to keep them safe. They are very dedicated to their personal hobbies, beliefs, and loved ones. They are very tolerant of what others in the clan choose to belief, and so there is not a specific religion or belief system. This tolerance, however, does not extend to those who choose to break the law, as the Oda belief in doing what is best, not only for themselves and their loved ones, but for the clan and the village as a whole.

Tamashii Clan

The Tamashii's Clans main drive is to study the various jutsu's, gen, nin, tai and rituals in order to collect them all for safe keeping. They have an obsessive need to experiment, and learn the various mysteries of the world has lead to a very nomadic and secretive clan with a need to learn more regardless of side effects.

Tremere Clan

The Tremere are a secluded clan who seem to exist simply to further the bonds between the rest of the clan, and to study everything they can relating to manipulation. Manipulation of the mind, the energies (what they call chakra), and even manipulation of the self. By studying all these methods of manipulation, the Tremere act as a group to influence others to create a change in the world. This change doesn't have to be big, and they rarely are. The Tremere like to influence the direction that technology is advancing, or even mathematical and scientific theories.

Web Clan

The Web Clan is truly a group of information hordes, they started to write things down years ago and continue to do so even now. Everything from family births, deaths and marriages to the rise and fall of monarchs and kages, they have it all. This has lead to the current generations interesting way of expanding their archives with information trading as well as the general information selling. The majority of the clan consists of civilians and the number of members who follow the path of the ninja is low even for a civilian based clan.

Za Hisui Naga

Za Hisui Naga are a clan of proud, but very stubborn and often short tempered people. Each member is borderline obsessed with what they do, and will not hesitate to stand and defend what they believe in.

However, they would rather not work with another clan member if they can help it. Their pride not allowing them to show what they call weakness through seeking help. Often, members of the clan carry grudges or other types of strong emotions towards people or places for years until either they finally move on naturally, or finally get their revenge.

More often then not, the members of this clan are a little unsociable, or tend to come off pretty abrasive. Some of them however end up being really nice or enjoyable, though that is uncommon. Much like a snake, if you don't bother them, they don't bother you. They prefer to live their life and do what they do best.

Despite some of these short comings, the members find themselves having a soft spot for one thing or another, and will not turn a blind eye to bad situations or people who really truly need help.

Fire Country Clan Listing

Aiko Clan

The Aiko is a pure hearted clan. But they will fight for the pride of their village using their custom weapons. They create their own weapons to show that they are unique and different from others. Their creativity has led to skill in weapon design, because of which they now have a modest reputation among the shinobi villages.

Hachuu Clan

The Hachuu clan protects the secrets of reptiles in exchange for they're blessing. Though small every hachuu is blessed at birth to be gifted by a different reptile. When gifted, they will develop traits (no abilities, just like a change in eye color, or a pigment affliction) similar to their deity. Even mythological lizards can be chosen, for example a basilisk. Down to a newt or an iguana.

The hachuu's live away from other people so news travels slowly in their settlement. The ones that train to become ninja's tend to let them know whats going on in their free time. They believe that peace should be constant, and that all war does is upset the balance in nature, due to the destruction it causes. They tend to be territorial though so they will feel threatened by the presences of intruders, but never attack unless provoked.

Haruko Clan

Basic poison makers with great speed. Often dip their kunais or senbon needles in their poisons to strike their foes.

Ikemoto Clan

The Ikemoto is known for their bravery, heroics and fierce battle skills during combat. They believe in a strict code of honor. The clan is very well known in battle, specifically their skills in counter attacking. Ikemoto's are also known for their cockiness and a quick temper. They are not only skilled in taijutsu, but also ninjutsu, taking affinity to the Katon element. The clan is also well known for their fascination with wolves.

Ikuzuyo Clan

The Ikuzuyo Clan has long been protectors of peace throughout Seichi. Through their skills at metal working, and even their highly intelligent shinobi. They don’t generally agree with war, but they will do what they can to protect their village and friends. The clan, knowing that harmony must be found through the individual before it can be shared with the world, have dedicated themselves to harmonizing with their elements. Mainly wind. However, the clan techniques have only become public family knowledge with the first clan leader Ikuzuyo Karasu. Now that the family is united at last, they stand together for justice.

Kitsune Clan

They are well known hunters around the Konoki Region. The Kitsune clan is in touch with their instinct and their male children generally become hunters, and upon the age of 10 usually depart the family for ninja training. They however only allow the first female born in each generation to become a ninja, and later become the clan leader.

There are however 2 branches that have been separated quite recently. There are allowed to be 8 males in the main branches after they have so many children many of the females become members of the breeding branch. It is rare to find one from the breeding branch becoming a shinobi but it has happened.

Ronin Clan

The Ronin clan is largely a clan of social outcasts. Some of them are just stubborn or forgetful, but there are more extreme cases. Intense amnesia, psychosis, schizophrenia and the like are common within the clan.

The other thing to no about this clan is they are notoriously unpredictable. They have no central style. Two clan members rarely have even similar fighting styles, unless they are direct relatives. What they lack in mental stability, they make up for by being a wily group of fighters who will keep you on your toes.

Ryuuki Clan

A fairly recent main clan formation they are actually a huge family with various surnames and members. The main clan normally holds the top diplomats or heirs.

Saizetsu Clan

During an operation intended to cripple the village of Shine, a mistake was made regarding the sabotage of a major power plant near the village. While rigging the transformers to explode, there was a freak power surge, resulting in premature detonation. Caught in the blast, the ancient Saizetsu member had his chakra painfully melded to electricity. He passed on this gift to his brood before passing away.
Throughout the entire legacy of the Saizetsu clan, they've noticed the strong affinity that all members have towards Raiton. The fact that they have a magnetic field around them means nothing usually, however they have stronger electromagnetic fields than any normal humans. They are unable to use such a thing at all. It is simply...there.
Over the generations, the Saizetsu clan has refined their capabilities to focus purely on what they seem strongest in. They've rarely ever had a genjutsu user that was good, however many members are often skilled in Raiton based Ninjutsu right away and others show their abilities in Taijutsu.
Oddly enough, they seem to have bad hearing. They aren't sure why, but really it is the magnetic field that causes this. Saizetsu clan members have managed to work more towards increasing their already strengthened affinity to Raiton over the many years. So far it isn't known if this has payed off.
The clan was founded some 50 or so years ago, it was within konoki territory. The clan grew and then extended it's hand to Konoki offering to become part of the growing village. Many of it's leaders participated in wars to defend konoki often times getting themselves killed trying to defend their kin. The clans numbers haven't grown in a time but they seem to remain vigilant and loyal to a fault to Konoki, the last leader to go into war was Zecht whom lived he was one of the few from the Saizetsu clan that was extremely gifted at the time. Over the years since Zecht has truly been leader of the clan it has gained strength and some respect from Konoki village.

Shinju Clan

The Shinju Clan is a fairly new clan amongst the clans in the Konoki Village. However, they offer one of the swiftest and deadliest martial arts known in the world. The ancient arts of Muay Thai. However, as it is a new clan, it isn't that well-known. Only those who had the privilege of fighting against Shinju Kaichi, knew the powers and the deadliness of the arts that the Shinju Clan performed. Most enemies of the clan were brutally destroyed despite the small number of clan members in the clan. The Shinju Clan's priorities are to guard their family members, even with their lives. If one failed to do that, they were looked down upon. No matter what circumstances.

Shea Clan

The Shea tribe live a simple existence out in the Konoki Grand Forest, refusing to give in to the modern civilisation and live out their ancient culture as their forefathers did before them. However this is not the only thing that seperates their lifestyle from those of the civilised realm, all members of the Shea tribe do not lead a solitary existence, in fact they share their bodies with a number of symbiotes and live their lives together as one until death seperates them.
There are a few members of the tribe that discover mysterious gifts from their gods and learn to utilise the elements to serve the tribe, to the Shea these people are considered shamans and they are respected greatly for their abilities, however it is these shamans that more often than not leave the tribe for Konoki…where they can train and hone their powers beyond their wildest dreams.

Sugiyama Clan

The Sugiyama clan are organised in a structure very similar to their symbiotes. At the top of the clan is the Clan Head, passed down through inheritance of Nikubae. Unlike other clans, the Clan Head is chosen from those who contain a symbiote Queen directly descended from the first Primus Queen. The Clan Head must have a suitably strong hive, and as such, sometimes the leadership has been passed on to a more suitable member of the bloodline. The Clan Head carries within them the Primus Queen of the clan’s Nikubae. The Clan Head is assisted by a council formed from other members of the clan. The Shinobi of the clan serve as its protectors, as well as fulfilling Konoki’s requirement for military recruits. They are the masters of their symbiotes and work to further the clan’s goals (and their own) through their understanding and application of shinobi arts. Civilians of the clan are no less respected by their kinsmen, they help provide food, supplies and services to the clan, and many are skilled Entomologists and Medical Practitioners whom work with their shinobi kin to further the clan’s understanding and mastery of their symbiotes. Each Sugiyama takes on the role which they desire, and are capable of, and no Sugiyama is forced into a role by their clan.

Takayanagi Clan

The Takayanagi Clan is one of the highest ranked clans in Konoki. The clan is made up of a two families, the head family and the branch family. The Clan symbolizes the Honor of Power in Konoki. The Takayanagi specialize in one-on-one combat without weapons, to disable opponents only, and to kill only during rematches as they believe is the punishment for those who are unable to inteprete their belief.
The Takayanagi clan is also noted for their loyalty to and sense of dignity of Konoki. It must also be said that they are one of the only true martial artists left in Konoki. Although the Clan is based on morals, dignity, pride, and quest for honour, they also produce shinobi who are albeit heartless to the core…the kind of shinobi that play strictly to the rulebook.

Wind Country Clan Listing

Ahn Clan

The Ahn Clan speciallises in making music. To be in the Ahn Clan, one does not need to be a shinobi. Yet, most who are in the Ahn Clan are competitive therefore enrol in the Ninja Academy anyway. Most members of the Ahn Clan are squimish, therefore tend to frown upon the usage of sharp objects. However, this does not mean they are afraid of swords or shuriken etc. They simply avoid bloodshed, and use music to mentally attack their targets. They are taught to be respectful to their elders, and are very posh.

Ariachi Clan

The Ariachi live in Kagesato, a shinobi village based just outside the walls of Nagare to the North East. The village itself has been a standard village up till recently acting simply as a home for the members of the Ariachi clan. However its recently that the old shinobi bloodline of the Ariachi has returned so many new shinobi, untouched by the old way of thinking, have begun emerging.

The clan itself is split into two sides, the main branch, and the side branches. The main branch is made up of the Elder, the Head of the House (usually the eldest son of the Elder), and their family (brothers of the Head of House's brothers, their wives and children). The side branches are made up of descendants of the family not connected to the main branch.

Fuma Clan

The Fuma clan is ninja clan that specializes in combat most especially with Shuriken. They initially started as farmers and smiths who forged tools for the farmers but over the years, they’ve transformed their size, specialty and standing. They have as well unofficially earned the nickname “The Shurikeneers”. Members of the clan who aren’t involved in Shinobi arts take to making of weapons, and these weapons are either utilized by the clan or sold out to source revenue to the family. The clan’s specialization in shurikens does not mean they’ve lost the ability to wield other weapons efficiently, but they’ve grown a bias nature to utilization of other weapons.

Higashi Clan

Mysterious family that hide their true nature, not yet a lie, but an act. They idolize the serpent which symbolizes their meaning in life. Sweet on the outside, nasty on the inside.

Jiiton Clan

The Jiiton Clan is divided into three Branches. At birth, they use an ancient Ninjutsu known only to the head of the Clan to determine the strength of child. Based upon that information, the baby is handed over to someone in one of the Branches - the strongest going to the Sword, the mediocre to the Bow, and the weak going to the Shield. The Clan is based out of a large, 150 acre wooded estate near the Kazekage's mansion; the land of which is home to hundreds of deer whose antlers are used to make medicine. Sword Branch members go on to become high-ranking members of Nagare while Bow Branch members go on to leave normal lives. Members of the Shield Branch are forced into a life of servitude as bodyguards from early in their childhood. The Sword Branch is incredibly wealthy because it takes the income of the other branches, which are merely allowed to live upon the Sword Branch's land.

The Sword Branch is full of elite swordsmen. They take no jobs within the village except for ones that give them great power, such as being a Ninja Councilman. Almost all members of the Sword Branch go onto become ANBU Captains, though occasionally some may become a Med-Nin or Hunter-Nin. A fair number of Nagare's current ANBU are Sword Branch members. The higher ups of the branch rarely make public appearances, as they prefer to manipulate things from the shadows. The Bow Branch produces many skilled shinobi. They will do just about anything to put coins in their coffers. Most members of the branch go on to become ANBU or Hunter-Nins as well. The Shield Branch produces some of the finest shinobi in Nagare. Because of their bodyguard status, they are trained to be the best warriors they can be. Shield Branch members rarely hold civilian jobs. Most members of the Shield Branch go on to become Med-Nin so they can be more efficient bodyguards.

Kami Clan

The Kami people are very devout and deeply religious and aware of the spiritual entities that survey the common world. Their true calling is to find enlightenment and find peace in thir life.

The Kami people have not forgotten about their shinobi roots either, and actively train in Ninjutsu to protect and defend their village. Users are all skilled in Ninjutsu and use Suiton techniques, as they have related water to their own spiritual energy and have found it pure.

Sosei, the head leader teaches his followers the way of Seishou, it's beginnings are unknown to most, and others don't know whether it is a rumor, a jutsu, a pact or a bloodline. One does not know until Sosei teaches the art.

Kyuusai Clan

The Kyuusai was a clan consisting almost entirely of merchants, up until the day that the clan’s current leader decided to enroll in the academy during an economic depression. Over the years, more and more of the clan’s children were allowed to enroll into the academy. With both excellent Shinobi and prosperous businesses, the Kyuusai have become a force to be reckoned with.

Lune Clan

The primary goal of the Lune Clan is to establish a reliable network between villages. They believe that communication leads to understanding, and that it would prevent future wars. Their secondary goal is to gain profit from their businesses, using the information that they gather from the networks. This is to ensure the survival of future generations. Members of the clan will fiercely protect each other, as they firmly believe that “Blood is thicker than water”.

Misutsu Clan

The Misutsu clan are a fairly small clan who have dedicated their lives to the preservation of nature, due to this even as shinobi they adhere to their ideals about protecting and working with nature and therefore generally try not to cause any destruction to their surroundings if possible although they are taught to use the local environment to their advantage.
Generally, their personalities are somewhat humble and kind to most people especially in the elder generations that were forbidden to fight as they have had to struggle on with the clan ideals even when they do not generate much income for their family. Due to this ‘poverty’, all clan members are well used to living on very little luxury and are generally overly grateful when they get it.

Nagahiro Clan

The Nagahiro are a well known clan of medical shinobi and surgeons that originated in Konoki. From a young age, traditionally and very rigidly, men were trained to be medical shinobi and women trained to be surgeons. They have a decently large amount of money due to this. After the leader of the clan died in battle, his younger brother came into power. The young new leader completely revolutionized the clan. Financially and diplomatically he made the clan more ambitious and expansive. He allowed young women of the clan to become kunoichi and developed a martial sect within the clan. Quickly a plot developed as other members tried to usurp him and return the status quo.

After an attempt on the Hokage by the conspirators failed, the blame fell upon the new leader who was forced to leave and transfer power to his cousin, the only surviving traitor.The true clan leader however simply rebuilt in Nagare. Here they became a moderately well known clan known for their medical contributions.

The usurped leader of the clan became restless though and, sadly, was killed in a rushed revenge attack, his power transferring to his wife Nagahiro, Meko. Under Meko's rule the Nagahiro are a peaceful clan who strive to be as prestegious as the Hinatase clan through art, development, and passive slow diplomacy. Nagahiro, Sanada is the faction heir, and, much like his father, plans on changing the was of the clan to be a bit more aggressive againt his mothers wishes.

Noari Clan

The Noari are a clan of ninja, once famed for their ferocity on the battlefield, though recent conflicts between Nagare and the other hidden villages have reduced their numbers considerably. Though the Noari clan strives for superiority of the battlefield, where they are most at home, they hold the defense of Nagare above all other things. The Nagare clan also have a history of missing-nin, as their member's short tempers often end with them becoming rogue ninja, though even these missing nin are loath to harm their village.

Shun Clan

The Shun Clan is a close knit family that owns many restaurants in Nagare that offer fast, health, and enjoyable food. When not helping in one of the many restaurants in Nagare, members on this clan normally spend time training to achieve the clan's goal. The goal of the Shun Clan is to mold shinobi/konochi that would rival in speed to that of the famous Speed Demons of Nagare. This goal has lead them to specialize in espionage type missions.

Takahashi Clan

Members of the Takahashi clan are trained to become able assassins. Whether they do this through use of genjutsu, poisons or other means it doesn't matter so long as they can complete their assignment as quickly and effectively as possible. In order to further improve their skills, many clansmen choose to become ANBU of the village. From such a position they can then even further help their clan.

Takashima Clan

The Takashima is a clan that produced many able-bodied shinobi both in Nagare and in Hyouga. The Takashima are one of the few who have been able to master the Ice. What is the Ice that they so much control and work as their own? Well of course, it is the most prominent and strongest element, but indeed it proves that the Takashima are as cold as ice, and as dangerous as it’s shards. As soft as the laden snow and as strong and as tall as the glacier that surrounds them.

Tanaka Clan

The Tanaka family are usually attractive individuals, the women calm and seducing but a blade within their fingertips. The men more brutal. The Tanaka family holds no empathy or remorse for individuals and deem themselves as powerful people. They bear strong connections to Kages, political figures, missing nin and the black market.

They assassinate anyone that is in their way, and manipulate any lost minds. To keep themselves elite they hide their prodigies and children in the families of others until they are genin or higher, which then the children are then let into the family to further the power that would benefit them all.

Frost Country Clan Listing

Bastiato Clan

due to its violent past the members of the clan have grown to be distrusting of outsiders, They also clime that they can communicate and fight along side with spirits. They believe that spirits serve as guides companions and in some cases pets, but this ability serves no true purpose except in rumored jutsu and making clan members into social pariahs.

Dao Clan

The Dao's of the civilian branch are nice and friendly, their polite behavior is like a warm breath to the people around them. The shinobi branch of Dao are often quite the opposite type. Unfriendly, rude, kinda sadistic and cold. Dao's don't really care about rank but about age. They see the process of getting older as a process of getting wiser, calmer and stronger. They follow a religion of perfection. Living in every breath, beeing one with nature.

Hanako Clan

The Hanako clan believes that the basics come first, learn the most important things in life, such as survival skill and the basics of jutsus. But water is their ideal element. Water is nothing but pure and beauty to the clan. Over with founding ones life with such essential principles, they leave no time but to utilize in their ruthless training using their metal-made gear. Moreover, since they're raised to know the dangers that accompany a ninja's life, they hesitate not to fight for their village and people and respect their profession to the farthest extent.

Hyoujun Clan

The clan has changed, no longer is it three branches each with high attunement to ice but now a single branch, its effects have changed due to new blood being added. Though they do not have a confirmed bloodline with any major effects they have their heritage, and perhaps more... There are rumors of a bloodline that slumbers within, something the elders whisper and wonder at.

Ikeda Clan

The Ikeda Clan is simple and ordinary. It is, in every bit, as normal as a clan can be. The clan’s specialty lies in the members’ ability to create beautiful yet deadly works of art, weapons that are unique to each clan member- weapons worthy of being called Legendary.

Kagemaru Clan

The Kagemaru are a small family of eight for now but will continue to grow as time progresses. Although there are few of them, they hold great allies in each of the hidden villages, and without a doubt can hold their own. A strong will and determination to do what you want with your life is what being a Kagemaru is all about, learning that you don’t have to be blood to be family.

Nomura Clan

This clan are commoners in their village and have never known nobility to fit in since they aren't used to be waited on hand and foot and always pull their own weight when needed. They have various shops around Hyouga and those who become a success expand to other villages, leaving the shop in Hyouga to a fellow relative, most likely an heir (son or daughter).

Senuki Clan

The Senuki clan consists of tactical shinobi that serve mostly as spies and scouts for the village of Hyouga. Generally speed and stealth oriented they excel in the art of deception and espionage while neglecting hand to hand combat abilities.

Sumiyori Clan

The Sumiyori clan is spread out amongst Frost and Water. They descend from a Sati noble clan, the Minowara, but most members are unaware of this history due to events which occurred during the reign of the Nidaime Ooikage. For the last two generations, the Sumiyori family have remained civilians for the most part, but the current generation has been encouraged to seek the path of the Shinobi, either by their elders or by the stirring of the very blood within their veins, the blood of an old Shinobi Clan.

Both males and females of the clan traditionally grow long hair, usually to the shoulder blades, although those males of the main family are required to grow their hair to waist length as a sign of their status. Sumiyori clansmen tend to be very attractive, though males lean towards a more effeminant sort of beauty, rather than masculine.

Members of the Sumiyori clan have gem colored eyes, vibrant greens, blues, purples, reds, oranges and yellows, as well as either very dark or very light colored hair. Pale skin and slender physique are another physical aspect of the clan.

All members of the Sumiyori clan are raised with the belief that family matters above all else. A member of the Sumiyori clan will always treat a relative as a family member, regardless of differences, such as social status. All members are equal within the family, barring the respect given to those higher in the clan’s hierarchy, such as the Clan Head or the Elder Council. All disagreements within the clan are kept within the family, to all non-members they show only a united front.

Water Country Clan Listing

Anei Clan

The Anei clan will do anything for Sato. They are fiercely loyal to the Kage and are willing to take any mission for the betterment of Sato, no matter how distasteful or demeaning. That is also how many of the ninja members have perished. They took suicide missions and died. Even the non-ninja members hold a special place in their hearts for Sato, often making themselves bankrupt because they cannot bear to charge anyone from Sato full prices. An Anei will be suspicious at first to those from other villages besides Sato, even if the village is allied to Sato. They like creating and bettering ninjutsu and genjutsu they have learned, and hold a special affinity for cats. The Aneis consider the creation of jutsu the greatest thing a ninja can do over the course of their career. The cats of the household are basically worshiped. The Anei clan uses the elements of nature, which they believe corresponds to the 4 cardinal directions as well as the 4 patron cats of clan lore: Tsunami of the North, Chouseki of the South, Shippuu of the West, and Tatsumaki of the East. The cats are considered to be embodiments of the elements of wind and water. The east and west are the swiftness and skill of wind, while the north and south embody the power of the tides. They combine to create some of the most powerful forces on earth, including hurricanes, water spouts, and tsunamis.

Even though most of the family members have left the shinobi path, the Anei are still fiercely loyal to their country and even subconsciously continue to help their home of Sato. To the merchants and diplomats it is the greatest reward to come home to their beautiful nation, bearing good news and prosperity. To the shinobi it is the pride of fighting for ones county and bettering it's future that drives them forward. Anei will do anything for their country and its people; the merchants are known to never be able to cope with charging full price to their fellow countrymen. However this loyalty will still emerge as the fanatic rage of their ancestors when someone or something insults Sato or displays disloyal behaviour, be it to a clan, a friend or a way of life. Trusting of a foreigner is also difficult, it's okay so long as the outsider obeys the customs and virtues the Anei believe in.While immensly loyal to those they do befriend, this judgemental nature of theirs brings difficulty at first.

A creative lot, all Anei use their mental gifts in some way or another but their strong minds tends to make them somewhat perfectionist with their creations, always striving for improvement. The bettering of one's self, one's friends and one's country being a principal virtue to the Anei. Teamwork is a great strength to them but in reality it seems people don't work together like they truly should, which is frustrating and illogical to the clan members.

While not being members of any particular religion, each Anei holds a place in his/her heart for cats. Nearly all families own a house cat and feline worship is near unanimous among the clan and they all display some cat like tendacies and personailty traits.
Food will be offered to strays and prayer at special shrines is a regular practice. The clan even holds a special day dedicated to cats.

Bakuto Clan

The Bakuto clan is primarily a gambling clan. However, it is not unheard of for the members of the clan to become ninja. Though the gambling background has lead to the development of some odd jutsu.

Hebi Clan

Hebi clan members enjoy torturing others. The clan consists mostly of poison ninjas that have at least one poison that causes mental or physical torture to others when the poison goes into effect. The Hebi clan works with underground networks that have ties to both missing ninjas and other evil organizations, so they may inform Sato of incoming threats. At least those are the intentions on paper,their true intentions no oneknows.

Kabashira Clan

Nests of mosquitoes, there bodies are. They posses the ability of generating double the amount of red blood corpuscles [RBC] that a normal human being produces normally. For that, they contracted with different species of mosquitoes to reside there bodies and feed on the iron and protein of their reach blood, and in return they have full control over these vicious insects and utilize them in battle.

Similar to the leader, the entire clan league believes in the morals of loyalty and the significance of blood relativity. They would reach extreme limits for there siblings, fellow colleagues, villagers and beloved ones.

Even though often they are considered the best tools of combat and war devices, they are rather ambitious internally. Looking up to the leader then the kage, there has been times were individuals of the Kabashira competed on those positions. An ultimate dream is to have one of them become Ooikage.

My fellow colleagues and family, our gifted abilities are ours, and ours alone. Enemies and intruders shall taste our torment, the agony that is us.

Ketsueki Clan

The members of the Ketsueki clan are all vampires, who struggle to survive in the world. Most of the members are as normal as it gets and try there best to blend in as much as possible.

Rumors and stories have been leaked but few are true, the really truth is that the Ketsueki vampires (or just vampires) can travel in sunlight but there eyes are sensitive. They did at one point feed or bite humans to calm their thirst for blood but that has long been stopped. The most common of the rumors was that vampire’s being able to turn others into vampires but that is completely and utterly a LIE!

Kimera Clan

Trying to harmonize the spirit of both the Nao and the Nylin while blooming in its own way, the Kimera walk a perilous line, in which any decision could bring their downfall; There uncomfortable position forces them to maintain the stealthy arts, that flourished in the Nao while protecting the animalistic path of the Nylin and standing in a balance the new culture, born from new blood running through the veins of the Kimera.

Kurohoshi Clan

The Kurohoshi, though counted as one clan, has two parts to it. There is the Genjutsu Using Branch, more formally known as the Dark Walkers, and the Taijutsu Using Branch, more formally known as the Wind Walkers. Though they aren’t all specialists, each member of their respective Walker Section strive to better their Branch. But this is a generalized breakup of the clan.

There are many factions in this clan. The Information Seekers (Called the I.S.), The Shinobi, The Civilians, The Merchants, The Emissaries, and the Builders.

The Information Seekers are not relatively known to the outside world, only to those who are in the clan, or ears for the clan.

The Shinobi, the most known, are the ones that bring the Kurohoshi their glory and fame.

The Civilians are seen walking everywhere and anywhere, and are often the ones that go unseen because they are so common.

The Builders are the inventors of the clan and fall into two catergories here: Jutsu Builders and Accessory Builders. The Jutsu Builders only work for the clan creating jutsu, while the Accessory Builder will work for anyone for a fee, creating just about anything under the sun with the right blueprints.

The Emesarries are the peacemakers and ambassadors. But are cold and ruthless with their tongues. These people are usually breed just for this job, as this regulates who the clan accosiates them with.

Lastly the Merchants are the real money makers for the clan. They gather artifacts and will sell them to the highest bidders, as well as auction off the items that the Accessory Builders create.

Mishima Clan

The clan’s main purpose is to uphold what little understanding there is between the villages both minor and major. One of their time honored jobs is to eliminate people that are deemed a threat to peace. The clan is divided into 3 groups namely the Kizoku, Totei and the Shinzoku. There are only 12 Kizoku at any given time in any part of the world and there may be no more than 3 Kizoku per village so that there may be a balance in power. It is the Kizoku’s duty to actively enforce law on the populace of the villages whereas the Shinzoku are the minor branch (not in numbers) of the clan and do most of the real dirty work. Many Shinzoku usually end up as the village police force while some others become shinobi.

The Totei are 12 young children who are chosen to become the successors to the Kizoku in the event that they should die. Each Kizoku has a totei of his own, destined to replace him/her when the time comes. At a young age the chosen children are taken under the wing of a Kizoku who then teach them of the workings of the clan and how it is best run. They are also taught the various functions and methods of governance of their particular charges.

The totei are selected totally by the wish of the Kizoku, there is no hard and fast rule that the totei even have to be of the Mishima clan. The prospective totei are all monitored passively to find the most favorable candidate, the other candidates are kept in reserve lest the worst befall a totei in training. Usually the selected children are those that have experienced major upturns or hardships in their lives so that they are already familiar with the need for peace. Also there is no real age limit to a totei, while it is still favorable to have a young totei.

Ryuuko Clan

Members of this clan typically show an affinity for doton techniques, though several of the non-main branches have displayed other affinities of late. The main branch is the only true Ryuuko family. The rest are cousins and relatives that married in from other clans. Everyone in the clan is required to use wires from an early age, and many in the clan are masters of wire manipulation, trap-making, and strategy.

Sumiyori Clan

The Sumiyori clan is spread out amongst Frost and Water. They descend from a Sati noble clan, the Minowara, but most members are unaware of this history due to events which occurred during the reign of the Nidaime Ooikage. For the last two generations, the Sumiyori family have remained civilians for the most part, but the current generation has been encouraged to seek the path of the Shinobi, either by their elders or by the stirring of the very blood within their veins, the blood of an old Shinobi Clan.

Both males and females of the clan traditionally grow long hair, usually to the shoulder blades, although those males of the main family are required to grow their hair to waist length as a sign of their status. Sumiyori clansmen tend to be very attractive, though males lean towards a more effeminant sort of beauty, rather than masculine.

Members of the Sumiyori clan have gem colored eyes, vibrant greens, blues, purples, reds, oranges and yellows, as well as either very dark or very light colored hair. Pale skin and slender physique are another physical aspect of the clan.

All members of the Sumiyori clan are raised with the belief that family matters above all else. A member of the Sumiyori clan will always treat a relative as a family member, regardless of differences, such as social status. All members are equal within the family, barring the respect given to those higher in the clan’s hierarchy, such as the Clan Head or the Elder Council. All disagreements within the clan are kept within the family, to all non-members they show only a united front.

Umeda Clan

For those who don't know the clan, the Umeda clan stand for three things, to love the land and the plants, to love the village, and to love the people. The plants of the Sato region has helped the clan in numerous occasions. Their first leader had told them about the miracles of plants and that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. Knowing this, the clan would often take care of land all over Sato and all over Horizon when they go traveling. They would also educate the people about plants and how they could help people in everyday situations.

Loving the village is next, and just is important. Being proud of your village is something that the Umeda clan expects from everyone and tries to show that without making them look ridiculous or obnoxious. You must be proud of your village because that is where you live and whom you will work for. To not be proud will be like shunning the people and the kage of the village.

The final motto is to love that people. The people of the village is what makes the area so unique, physically, spiritually, and culturally. To love everyone is something that his hard and strenuous to do, but doing so will gain you love, trust, and pride. By helping people, the people will help you back.

Yuzuki Clan

The clan has a reputation for being honorable, intelligent, kind, and fierce.

Kemuri Clan

A clan that holds a general dislike for Missing Nin. The clan, while being truly not powerful enough to do anything about the problem, is strongly against the idea of a missing nin, and considers any missing nin, no matter the reason for their missing status, a traitor who deserves nothing more than a smoky death. They are a clan of sun-worshipers, and take their religion very seriously. Any Kemuri who tries to move outside the religion Kemuri, (Named after the clan) is disowned by the clan, and anyone in the clan found supporting a Sun-traitor, as they call Kemuris who have converted to another religion, is similarly disowned. Some members of the family enjoy burning themselves, and so it's not uncommon to see a Kemuri with several burn scars. While these self-burning habits used to have religious meaning, now, only the Kemuri zealots still partake purely for the religious aspect. The average Kemuri who burns themselves simply like the sensation.

SouthChild Clan

The SouthChild are hard workers and hard fighters, they are more than willing to fight for their rights and for their lands, and are experts of the desert of Rikuhi. In this clan each member is a warrior, and has an amount of honor to keep. The SouthChild have their own customs as well as their own language, but often learn common, and Rikuhi out of courtesy since their language is almost impossible to learn by an outsider.

The SouthChild Leadership:

Generally the SouthChild is ruled by one person, male or female, this person is chosen by a council of elders that deem an individual worthy of becoming the clan head. These elders have no real power, but they are allowed to advise the leader. The leader is generally called a ‘Captain’ – therefore, a SouthChild calling someone captain means that they are willing to accept their leadership, and to even die for that leader – The SouthChild don’t understand how the term captain can be used so lightly by the outside world.

At this point in time the council has appointed no one to the position of Clan Head due to the fact that there is no one that meets their standards. Not only must the shinobi in question must have great wisdom, but must prove that they have great strength. In addition to these requirements, the Shinobi must also survive a perilous trip through the clan’s sacred collection of caves that have recorded in them, the entire history of the clan.

Example customs:

The SouthChild consider water sacred, and any deal is usually sealed by transference of water – water is considered the ultimate gift for treaties which often involve phrases like, “May our water be one” for marriages, or “May it rain at your back” for a goodbye – most SouthChild consider rain the ultimate sign of fortune, thus leading to this phrase; “Let it rain.”, more or less meaning good luck.
The SouthChild are the only ones to be able to successfully raise ‘Pum-kins’ and are very serious about keeping the secrets of its growth hidden from the Itahase clan, whom have stated their interest in this plant.
The SouthChild believe that the spirits of warriors inhabit their weapons and consider them sacred.
The SouthChild believe that if a woman can fight then she is a man’s equal, otherwise she is property of her Father, Husband, or closest male relative.

Takashi Clan

The Takashi clan is, or rather, were, a nomadic clan. Accustomed to travelling the world and exploring every little thing life had to offer. Recently, they decided to stay in Rikuhi. As such, as a whole, they wear light clothing, such as short to no-sleeve T-shirts and shorts/light material pants. A promenent feature of a clan member is their varying shades of brown hair and brown eyes. Despite not always being out in the sun, most clan members also have tanned skin. For equipment, outside of the standard kunai/shuriken/etc, most clan members carry some sort of bladed weapon, be it a katana, a tanto, or a dagger. However, the katana's are fairly short, just falling into the range of a katana.

They are nature lovers at heart, and see no problem in 'camping out', rather than staying inside a home all the time. They like to enjoy the scenery around them, and while not many members have pets, they have a fondness for animals. Most of all, they look at the earth as an entity of sorts, not neccessarily a god or deity, but something that should be looked after and taken care of. This would be akin to Deism. (By real-world 'religions')
