Dear Ninja, Although the Clan system is still quite awhile away, since I'm making the changes to display name policy. I should quickly explain why we're going this route for Clans. It has been the plan all along for clans to be a selection of presets, unlike Organizations, which players can make and join. What Clans are in the Ninja World When designing the clan system, the first thing I want to look at is what clans are supposed to be. In most cases, a clan is a family. When there is a structure, a leader, an elder, and there is still a clan house or home. It's a bloodline in some cases, when there are few remaining ninja in your clan, and there is no longer a family structure, we know it as a bloodline. You trace your special abilities back to a bloodline lineage. We know ninja from a some clans can potentially learn special jutsu passed down through their clan, and ninja from other clans sometimes have bloodline limits that can give them special abilities naturally - like doujutsu (eye jutsu). Clans can be small, but they can also be large. They tend to stay within the village, but can decide as a whole to turn their backs on the village sometimes, and have small subsets remain. Clans don't pop out of nowhere. They are ingrained in a village's history, when generations die, generations below still continue their legacy. So I took all this into consideration for Nin Online's Clan system. What Clans will be like in Nin Online (Not Anytime Soon™) Do note: All of this is subject to changes, I am still deciding a lot of things regarding WHEN you choose clans. There is a chance we might do it later in the game and not at character creation for example. On character creation, you select from a variety of clans of that village. Each clan will have unique outfit(s), and a default hair color or eye color recommendation. Some clans will have fixed eye colors for their unique doujutsu (eye jutsu). Some clans don't have eye jutsu and do not limit your hair colors. (All of these colors are still changeable in-game with the premium eye color changer - take those as colored contact lenses and rainbow hair dye - hair dye literally, but your character's natural hair color is always your clan's) Having a manageable number of presets per village will allow me to give each clan unique jutsu and outfits, because it will become a sustainable feature. If clans were player made, they would not be able to get these things because we cannot infinitely add more clothes into the game for every player clan made. This would be unsustainable for me as an artist and for our server which cannot infinitely add more items. Every clan outfit is one less important that everyone else can wear in-game. It will also allow us to create clan houses for each clan, where you could learn your new clan jutsu and get clan clothing pieces. Having preset clans will create belonging for new ninja, and make it so you have to work together as family. We'll be able to see special RP occurrences like an entire branch of a clan decided to leave their village and become a sub-set of their clan as criminal missing ninja. You might see that older players are less accepting of new members in a clan and do not work together to create a welcoming clan. This will cause splits in the clan. Whereas in clans where the senior family members have good structure and are welcoming will be more holistic and united. We will see clans that dominate the politics in their villages and clans that feel underappreciated and leave. New ninja who choose that clan in the future will also be more likely to join their kin as missing ninja as being a ninja from that clan would lead them to being ostracized by their village. The way "clans" in Nin Online are right now, you see players who form their family name and have people change their name to join them. It doesn't feel permanent, unlike what a family should be. Having a limited selection of permanent clans that will remain around indefinitely will make it so that each clan will potentially have a large number of family members. Instead of 5 or 6 player-made clans with 10+ members that see maybe 5-6 online at a time. I'd love to give the chance for current pre-made clans to have their clans turned into one of the preset clans for their village. This will most likely be the case. I will of course have my own ideas that I might want to impose onto the clan's overall aesthetic and name (got to keep them as lore friendly with the other clan names) and of course, I will be the one to decide what clan gets what jutsu as that falls into balance. I hope this gives you a better idea of the vision for the in-game clan system of the future. Don't get your hopes up on when you'll see any of this anytime soon! Regards, Rory

Sasayaki | 囁き|"Whisper" Logo: Brief Description: The land of fire serves as the primary residence for the kinsmen of the Sasayaki clan. Peering from the outside in, these shinobi can often mislead others into thinking they are the utmost lazy and most boring individuals listed in the bingo book(s). This, however, isn't the case at all. This unit is very active whenever their skills are applicable. Given the fact young shinobi are exposed to "rigged" shoji boards at early ages, the brain has already begun training in the arts of critical thinking. Typically an individual would spend one's lifetime figuring out how to win this unbeatable game of shoji. When the correct answer is finally figured out, the kinsmen are no longer required to play the game however in most cases, even though the game is won these shinobi typically continue to play it in addiction thus furthering their tactical capabilities which prove resourceful in the long run both on and off the board. In addition to their intellect, shinobi of Sasayaki bloodline are born with naturally developed keen vision and inhumane flash-like speeds. The combination of these attributes pose the Sasayaki kinsmen as ironical figures having to be so gifted yet "lazy". Even so, it is within these skills that these shinobi have developed a comfortable reputation not just around the leaf but around the shinobi world. History: The Sasayaki bloodline runs deep with ties of a lot of the newly spawned clans in our modern shinobi world. In fact, the Sasayaki were one of the eldest clans to contribute to the leafs construction and/or development. All the forests north beyond the jungle belonged to the Sasayaki clan. These grounds were primarily the hunting areas in which they'd occupy. Typically the Sasayaki would hunt creatures through natural bio aids such as birds. With bird calls, the birds would return melodic whistled responses detailing where the nearest herds of prey were. It was in these actions the name, "Sasayaki" would be assigned to these shinobi which translates to "Whisper" from its Japanese origin. This name would serve as a metaphor detailing how the shinobi would "whisper" to the birds to aid them through targeting their foes. Gradually over time, these shinobi would encounter other shinobi that had ambitions for peace. The clan would then contribute to the cause thus spawning the era of youth for the modern day leaf village. It is in this the First Hokage holds the Sasayaki in favor of the noble deeds of their recent ancestors and has awarded them with the identity of nobility to commend them for their hard work. Clothes: (White, Green, and Dark Navy Blue as well. Cool breeze clothing style.) Members: Deathmall Corgee Ishyn Leevi Konahri Ori Hawt Dairuto Hoseki Fritzo Achievements: (3rd, 4th, & 5th Hokage, 6 Jonins, 8 Chunins, 1 Specialized Jonin, & 8 Council Members). The Sasayaki Clan members have individually and as a family has dedicated a lot of time to the well being of the Hidden Leaf Village.

This thread is for players to submit their existing player-made RP clans to be considered to be made permanent families of their village. Our priority is to allow people to continue their legacy and the impact they've made in our Ninja World into actual gameplay content. This is the evolution of your clan from RP-only to actual gameplay mechanics. However, there are a lot we have to consider in regards to names, for example - it has to not be used in the Naruto series. It has to have good meaning and be a japanese word to be lore-friendly and the name of the clan will impact the abilities and clothing they get in the future. Submit your village, your existing clan names (or new clan ideas) and tell us about your existing activity in-game, what you symbol is (if any), what your ideas for clothing are and just any information you have. If a clan is added, it's name will become permanent and it will become a clan open to all new players in character creation. Reply in this topic!

Introduction: Mirana was the first clan born inside of the Leaf Village and it is made of individuals genetically bred for the art of war. The members usually take the path of joining the Leaf Military Police Force where they can support the village by using their strenght and courage to bring justice and peace inside the Leaf territory. Mirana shinobis are also always ready to fight for the Hidden Leaf Village in any war against other villages or factions. Name (OUT OF RP): Since Mirana isnt a Japanese word, we decided to apply Mirana in here with a new name that is yet to be decided. We are open to suggestions from both players and staff members. Founding and Leadership: The clan founder and first leader is well known to be the strongest shinobi of all time, Aghila Mirana. The leadership of the family has been passed down to Shotoho Mirana and it's now held by Caio Mirana. Achievements: 3 Jonins, 5 Chunins. 2 Council members, 1 LMPF Leader, 7 LMPF members and Classified ANBU members. Lore: Details about the Mirana lore can be found in the clan post here Clan outfit: Started but never finished by Sezu unfortunately (The first version created by Sezu was in black/purple/red colors and i changed to black/purple/green later on just to create family pictures like this one below to our personal use). Main colors being Green and Purple (Applies to the hair that family members are born, and the clan outfit too). Mirana Moon Sage Mode (Fan Art still being developed):

Dear Ninja, It is after deep consideration for the well-being of the game, that I've decided that, we will be changing our policy of name changes. Starting February 2019, Non-Gold/Silver ninja will no longer be eligible for name changes and Gold and Silver ninja will be eligible to 1 name change per year. This might eventually phase out completely depending on how much trouble this feature continues to cost us. I have observed that the ability to change names has been both a scourge to RP and Moderation. One reason for this removal is due to the lack of weight it creates on having a name. It has also become increasingly hard to track player reports due to name changes, and we simply do not have the resource to do that. Another reason we've decided to remove this functionality is due to players buying/selling accounts and rebranding it for others to use them. The reason why name changes were never regulated properly in the past was that the privileges were decided on when the game was still in closed alpha, where there was no game to play and where it was just a forum community. It has been one of the harder decisions to make because I know there will be backlash. These changes are here to stay and hopefully, players will be forced to choose their names more wisely. Important For players who frequently change names for "clans", we advice for you to remove your current clan names as eventually, when the actual clan system does arrive, it will add your real clan name in front of your username in-game. Eg. If your username is Kuro and your in-game clan name is Kishin, your display name will appear as Kishin Kuro automatically, while your username will be just Kuro. Regards, Rory

Sashiba clan(Sa-Shiba) A group of Nomadic Shinobi tribes who have made the Sand village their home after Tragic events of the past. 3 Tribes have become one to set a Shining example of what is possible in the harshest Desert Climates. Being on top of the Food chain, many Birds of Prey find it advantageous to hunt in groups. In the Sashiba clan our Shinobi know that our survival is based on our ability to maintain the hunt. Another reason Birds of Prey stay together is to maintain our family unit. The nomadic Tribes of the Sashiba clan are eager not to puff their chests in battle, but to move with Purpose and only with purpose. In the past many of the Sashiba clan were nomads of the desert, Some Settled in the Village hidden in the Sand. Those who have over time called the Sand village their home have brought their culture and traditions there. Many of the trinkets, customs and even foods have become part of Sand Village life over time. When the Clans Founder TetsuHawk first settled in the Sand village, he never realized just how many of his own long lost relatives he would meet in the village.

So what role will YOU play Young Ninja of the Sand village? Join a clan of ninja fiercely Dedicated to the prosperity of the Sand village!

Clan Name: Takahera Village: Leaf Objective: The clan is aiming to be undying servants to the lead , as we aim to integrate ourselves into every aspect of the village so that we can better protect and serve the village and it's villagers. We have been forced into hiding from some time, but the clan is looking to come out of the shadows and once again serve the lead in plain view. Origin: The name Takahera is derived from hawks as we have gotten our name from our close relationship with Hawk summons and have used them in a long partnership to Hunt for food and enemies before settling down in a village. and have gained abilities akin to a hawk as our eyes have been honed to be extremely keen and sharp , and in our strongest members after a month of complete darkness due to our ritual where they must go to the clan's secret grounds and spend the month blindfolded in complete darkness to train their other senese and see without seeing. Upon completion of this ritual their eyes evolve into the Takaeigan a dojutsu that allows them to see limits far beyond the limits of the normal human eye, as well as the ability to pinpoint the presence of chakra being able to see chakra as if it was physically manifested. Symbol: Our Symbol Represents our clans connection to hawks Clothing Ideas: Our clan is usually associated with Hunting gear like the black hermit cape, as anything that allows for mobility we normally wear cloaks as to keep our weapons and tools concealed and our color scheme is Blue and Yellow

Non-Clan should have their benefits as well. The clan concept in general is good.

Clan Name: Magatama. Affiliation: Missing STORY: Magatama clan was founded by Great Sage Magatama, for many generations, our main activity was supervising local temples and helping normal people. We bless people and help them resolve unnecessary conflicts. As priests/monks we don't use violence even if it costs our life. We have huge Temple but most of our members is scattered across whole world. We get money from donations or little trades. One of current leaders is reincarnation of Great Sage Magatama. CLOTHES: We usually wear used kimonos, ponchos or rarely on special events Monk robes(we would be grateful to wear blessing monk robes).

If clans do get their own jutsu I could only tolerate clans with extra abilities being made if they are not to access for example, forbidden jutsu. I wouldn't want to be at disadvantage just because I am not in a clan. Also, there's nothing really wrong like you try to point out with the current ones. The large clans that were made example Kuraen, Hozuki, Mirana, Sasayaki all function and were large/semi- sized groups that became more than just an ingame clan. Some even already have their own uniforms. So in my opinion forcing players to only choose from selected few clans instead of creating their own, limits the possibilities of imagination and rp and simply amassing a horde of players into few clans isnt really good idea. Also Name-changes do not affect gameplay in anyway since the game is rp/pvp, again taking out the freedom and possibilities just to make some ban-tracking job easier... Joining a clan will never feel permanent if you dont commune with other members and just do it for the name change or for some "ability"... sigh PS. Game already feels limited because of certain "rules", don't make it less so. Also I am in no way trying to disrespect or bad mouth the ideas set by the development team and am simply stating my honest opinion on the case.

It is a much more interesting approach with preset clans, rather than the current "Family" system, that we (players) are using. It would lead to, as you state, more RP occurrences for players where RP normally wouldn't be a factor. For instance, a long-time rogue ninja could be a part of a noble Leaf or Sand clan, almost forcing them to RP with one another on an encounter.

Maybe. But don't rely on it. That's why I only advised it. You can still choose to do whatever. But I would say, as a gold ninja, save your name changes for that! Note: Non-gold/silver players name changes are extended to February as well!

If clans get benefits like their own jutsu, then people who do not pick a clan should get a bonus as well. Perhaps like 15 extra stat points at character creation. Some people don’t want to join a group. And with this system it’s almost forced.

This is great news to our community. I don't enjoy dealing with same people under different names without knowing who they are.

We can certainly offer the option for that, but the chances of people choosing it will be much much lesser because most people will want to be included and get at least one of the benefits.

Can everyone get a free name change when clans are out? Cuz some ppl like me wanna keep their RP clan till ingame clans are added

Well that sounds so interesting.Specially if RP is part of this clan. 1.)Name:Ishyn 2.)Age:23 3.)Masteries:Water / ? 4.)Activity:~4 hours working days / 4+ hours days off. 5.)Why do you wish to join:One of the reasons I want to join this clan,is the background story.It's really interesting and would really like to RP something like this.Morever,Ishyn's personality In-Game(and a bit IRL)is very similar to this clan's characteristics.Calm,bored,smart yet strong and always doing his best to help.Also,joining a fresh clan and building seems really interesting.Would like to take part in this.Ishyn's habbits are reading books,smoking and chilling in general,yet he is well trained and pretty strong,making him a trustful fighter. 6.)Roleplay:(Check my profile) ( @Yousei Izanagi You did an awesome job again as it seems )
