Clan Template

Clan Template



A
clan is a group of people united by kinship and descent, which is
defined by perceived descent from a common ancestor. Even if actual
lineage patterns are unknown, clan members may nonetheless recognize a
founding member or apical ancestor. As kinship based bonds merely
symbolical in nature some clans share a "stipulated" common ancestor,
which is a symbol of the clan's unity. When this ancestor is not human,
this is referred to as animallian totem. Generally speaking, kinship
differs from biological relation, as it also involves adoption,
marriage, and fictive genealogical ties. Clans can be most easily
described as sub-groups of tribes and usually constitute groups of
7,000 to 10,000 people.

Some clans are patrilineal, meaning its
members are related through the male line; for example, the clans of
Armenia. Others are matrilineal; its members are related through the
female line. Still other clans are bilateral, consisting of all the
descendants of the apical ancestor through both the male and female
lines; the clans of Konoha are one example. Whether a clan is
patrilineal, matrilineal, or bilateral depends on the kinship rules and
norms of their society.

  them stand out. The Aburame are the Clan of a specific Bug Type. The
  Nara is a Clan that can manipulate their own shadow.
  

Now, I shall go by step by step and list all of the important details.

Clan Name

• The
  Name of the Clan is important because, obviously, you need to have a
  name for your Clan. It can be in any language, but since this is a
  pre-dominantly English-speaking board, you’re also required to attach,
  in parenthesis () the name of the jutsu. Doing the name in another
  language adds some unique flavor to your jutsu, but it is not
  necessary. There are several online translators available for use in
  the production of names. The name of a Clan is always important it is
  what others establish for, it is what others try to take the time to
  understand and know. Names usually are known to have the meanings
  within their capabilities, however this is not always true. A good name
  is always important because without a name you are considered nothing,
  with a name you are everything.
  

Description

• This
  is where one would consider to be the meat of the Clan explanation.
  This is the area where you go through, step by step, listing stating
  what the Clan is. Here you must describe the Clan's Appearance in every
  way, what they usually wear, what is their normal hair color, eye
  color, any type of unique differences within them. What are they in
  general. What are their General Personalities. Do they believe in
  anything, do they have their own way set of life. These must be placed
  within the Description of the Clan. Is the Clan dominantly women? Or
  Men? Or is it undetermined. Does the Clan have their own ranks of
  power, such as who is considered stronger and who is weaker? If so what
  are these. Within this section the user must take the time to write out
  at least four paragraphs of description. Each Paragraph must have an
  average of at least Five sentences. In general it must be indepth. Here
  are a few Examples Example One ; Example Two
  

History

• One
  of the most lengthly section within the aspects of the Clan template.
  Within this section you must state how and why it the clan was created.
  when it was created, how old the Clan is. Who created the Clan, and who
  else knows about the clan. It must be in depth, and creative. Without
  this stated the Clan will be denied, and will be archived. The History
  can not state anything about it being in existence since an unknown
  time, and it can not just suddenly appear out of the blue one day
  through the magic of society and love with peace. The questions within
  the history must be answered such as the Who, the Why, the Where, the
  When, and the How it was created. Something can not be suddenly
  mysterious in creation. Reasons why is because of the fact that in
  depth history creates Roleplay Capability, it adds story line for other
  people to interact with. Just because if something we know out of
  character does not mean that we would know it exists in character.
  Within this section the user must take the time to write out at least
  four paragraphs of description. Each Paragraph must have an average of
  at least Five sentences. In general it must be indepth. Here are a few
  Examples Example One ; Example Two
  

Restrictions

• First
  off we will not allow Clans where only one person can go into it. It
  must be plentiful to create Roleplay. What is the restrictions of this
  Clan? Is the Clan hidden? How hard is it to start out in the Clan? Is
  the Clan very secretive? One of the biggest things that must be known
  is, in order to make a character within the Clan do people need to
  contact the creator of the Clan before so getting permission? What is
  needed, are there any enemies, restrictions? Such as do they not have
  to be part of a village? Do they have to be part of a certain village?
  

Side Note: Please Take into consideration that The Description, The History, and The Restrictions should take up, or really take up a lot of space within the first post. Everything else should start out in the second post.

Clan Capabilities and Equipment

• Weapons and Equipment
  
  
  
  • Some
    Clans are known to create their own weapons, these weapons have the
    capabilities that are similar to that of the Clan itself. These weapons
    are unique to the clan only, they are different, and they have their
    own advantages. Most weapons that are created by clans however are
    usually part of the clan because a member of the Clan created the
    items. However please note that any item that is not unique towards the
    Clan itself may be asked for it to be changed to universal, or to a
    village only type of item. Please use the Weapons and Equipment Template for all Weapons and Equipment.

• Rituals
  
  
  
  • Some
    Clans are known to create their own Rituals, these rituals have the
    capabilities that are similar to that of the Clan itself. Sometimes a
    Clan may be made up by a certain type of Ritual. These Rituals is what
    makes the Clan in its own way. An example of a Ritual would be the
    Ritual of Aburame to allow the bugs to be bonded with the User. Another
    Example of a Ritual would be the six arms given to the Kumomusha
    (Spider Warrior Clan)/

• Seals
  
  
  
  • Some
    Clans are known to create their own Seals, these Seals have the
    capabilities that are similar to that of the Clan itself in which may
    hinder, or benefit the clan, however since this is a Seal does NOT make
    up a Clan. These Seals are unique to the clan only, they are different,
    and they have their own advantages, or disadvantages. Please note that
    any Seal that is not unique towards the Clan itself may be asked for it
    to be changed to universal. Please use the Seal Template for all Seals.

• Jutsus
  
  
  
  • The
    heart of the Clan. In here you must state and place within all
    techniques that are known within the Clan. This shows exactly what the
    Clan is made out of, it shows their capabilities and disadvantages. It
    also shows if the Clan is actually acceptable, or if it is not
    acceptable. Please follow the rules of the Basic Jutsus, as well as the
    rules within the Bloodlimit Capabilities. Keep them simple, but
    detailed. Please use the Jutsu Template for all Jutsus.
