Clan Creation

One feature that RoS possesses, unlike many of its contemporaries, is a system dedicated to the creation of shinobi clans. This page mostly affects original clans created by the community. We begin with first creating an original clan on the wiki, as well as their limitations when first starting. From there, is a walkthrough that will loosely guide the process of how a starting Clan, or Family, will ascend to becoming a full-fledged shinobi clan that could rival even the noble clans of Konohagakure.
==Creating a Clan==
To create a clan page, first you'll need to visit the Clan Template page. Following the same instructions as you've already done when creating a character, you can create the page. There is one caveat to this however, when titling the page of this original clan: You must put them down as "(Clan Name) Family". This is because all original clans will start off as families. The difference between them, and say a clan such as the Uchiha, is mostly due to the amount of people within that family. Instead of consisting of possibly hundreds, they are instead at best in the dozens of members. The Family, as well as any of its accompanying Jutsu or Kekkei Genkai, will go through the approval process once finished. After which point, it can be role-played out in the community.
===The Do's and Dont's of Shinobi Families===
This is a list of guidelines that we would appreciate you follow at all times when first role-playing a shinobi family. This will contain a bullet list of various suggestions, to help maintain immersion in-character.
*Do not role-play your family as a noticeable or even famous group of shinobi. This includes having them possess large amounts of wealth, being recognized by strangers, and so on. Like they are out-of-character, in-character they should be a new presence within their respective community. It would make no sense for a small family with a KKG that just popped into existence within Konoha to receive as much political sway or recognition that the Uchiha or Hyūga might.
**This also goes to role-playing out a family's home. Your Family should not be starting with their own manor, or a specific place that only represents them. It's more likely that you have a regular home, or depending upon how many people exist within your Family, that you live in an apartment within Konoha.
*Encourage others to interact with you and your family, give them a reason to want to be around and even get their own clan/family involved with the storyline you're pursuing.
*Get World Masters involved in the Discord to create stories that will further lead to your Family'sgrowth.
*Take advantage of your Family's starting squalor, use it for story hooks or motivation for your character to want to support that family into becoming something bigger.
=== Growing Your Family ===
Soon after stretching the limits of your Family as they currently are, you're likely to have ambitions to becoming bigger and stronger, both in-character and outside of it.
