## Ninja Clan Background

You grew up in a ninja clan, and were taught the secret ways of the shinobi. A ninja understands the art of stealth and infiltration, whether as a sneaky rogue, a clever master of disguise, or a student of illusion and misdirection. Ninja clans tend to exist in remote locations, training hard in a family, clan environment, and are often hired by warlords and generals to accomplish clandestine military objectives. While feared and renowned as assassins, in reality ninjas encompass a much broader range of types.

**Suggested Characteristics**
Due to their isolation, ninja clans often breed individuals with values and traits which do not always fit in well with others; however, the concentration on clan and family means that a ninja’s companions can rely on her as a fiercely loyal ally.

**Personality Trait**
1. I grew up in a remote, rural location, and place little value on wealth or nobility.
2. I feel far more comfortable in the outdoors, away from city life.
3. My clan was attacked when I was young, giving me a fierce distrust of outsiders.
4. I believe strongly in loyalty, and can be trusted and relied on whatever the circumstances.
5. Deception is part of life. Believe nothing I say.
6. I will never sit with my back to a door or window, accustomed as I am to the arts of assassination.

**Ideal**
 1. Clan. My ninja clan is my family and my life. Everything I do is for them. (Lawful)
 2. Friendship. I always knew that things change; but true friends remain always. (Good)
 3. Tradition. The ways of my clan permeate everything I do, even if they would impede my progress. (Lawful)
 4. Chaos. I grew up an outsider, and I will always be an outsider. Civilized order is designed to oppress. (Chaos)
 5. Aspiration. I hope one day to perform a great deed and return to my clan a hero. (Any)
 6. Greed. I’m in it for the money. I’ll take any job if it involves money. (Evil)
