## LOCATION

**The Great Wall Of Fujita**, eastern part of the spiderweb.

## Samsara

Xhiphine clan originated in the east wall of Fujita during the beginning era. They are one of the first living realm clan's, and their existence was heavily respected within the great wall barracks. It gave them reason to expand upon the lands, and eventually they claimed it as Samsara. According to the few written scrolls current Deities have preserved, the real reason for their expansion was simply to indulge in the chaos of the small ongoing civil wars that struggle to find peace through negotiation. "They find it thrilling when they endanger themselves." The Xhiphine clan had only consisted of no more than 2000 members before their sudden growth.

## MEANING OF THE NAME

"We are alive, bound and vibrant." - Enyo Gyou Douja

## RELIGION/BELIEFS

One of the founding clans (the second largest one), created by Enyo-Gyou Douja. They are the heart of the religion known as *Samsarism*, the belief in the cyclical of all life, body, soul, and spirit. That when one dies, his or her soul will be passed on through another life. It is the cycle of death and rebirth. In their religion, it is common for both men and women to shave and keep healthy, because their re productivity abilities are very active. Having twins and triplets in the Xhiphine clan is very common. Some Samsari's even go as far as to have many kids in hopes that one of them turns out to be an Enyo-Gyou Douja reincarnation. This was until they began to view men differently, after the Law Of Estaban was enforced.

## PHYSICAL TRAITS

The clan's hair colour tends to run cool, the most common shade being purple, but can range from green, blue, red, brown and black. Eye colour doesn't have any real commonality other than running cool in colour. Xhiphine, as well as their surrounding region, have pale to tan complexions, with very few being dark skinned or brown.

## BLOODLINE TRAITS

The Xhiphine clan are secretive, and tend to keep all abilities hidden to even their own people. They don't have a cool flashy ability like that Korobu or Hitomi Clan's, so usually they rely on creating abilities of their own since they already have an naturally large amount of oddee. The only common traits among them is:

#### 1. Xhiphine Instinct.

It heightens their physical and mental abilities and sharpens their surroundings, keeping their minds as sharp as a falcon's, all while being able to cut off all sense of negative emotion. This instinct will activate when a Xhiphine feels endangered, threatened, or angry. Only one's who can activate this willingly are the Eleven.

#### 2. Density.

Supernatural physical durability without the use of mana or aura. Xhiphine clan members are 5x heavier than they look, as well as harder skin to penetrate. An example being Uenyo, who is 430+lbs at the age of 16.

#### 3. Oddee Theft

Since the Xhiphine clan are made up of **unstable oddee**(see how/why), they are the only species in the entire world that can steal actual oddee and add it to their own, increasing their own oddee.

#### 4. Mana Afilliation

Commonly fire affiliations.

Other than this, most of them are trained to be naturally good in stealth situations. All of these traits are how they gained the nickname 'assassins.'

## CULTURAL HABITS

### The Face Paintings

The most prominent commonality between Xhiphine are the painted patterns they wear on their face; some even go as far as to look tattooed on them. The paint is most commonly red. But any colour of paint is fair game. The patterns can range in length, width, and placement, but traditionally are worn as simply triangles down the cheeks, below the eyes. The reasons involving *why* the Xhiphine where these paintings vary in:

#### Cultural identity

A symbol of their cultural identity and heritage.

#### War paint

The face paintings are also used by warriors/assassins to intimidate their enemies and display their bravery and fighting skills.

#### Artistic expression

To communicate a message or tell a story.

#### Religion

Spiritual rituals, ceremonies, or festivals.

### Thinkline

Traditionally, the Xhiphine rely on wrist tattoos to signify ranking. The tattoo is a band of circles above a bracelet called Thinkline. In modern times, it is common to see a Xhiphine with this tattoo as a symbol of pride for their clan. Additional stripes imply higher rank, with the maximum being 11.

### Clothing

Originally, red & gold on women, and gold & black on men were the pallets of traditional garb, but that tradition is no longer regarded for most Xhiphine since the clan grew too large.
