It saddens me to see how degraded clans, bloodlines and over all power has become within SL. Its as simple as calling it yours, and it is. Let alone the fluctuating mix of breeds. I was wondering if there were those who still called themselves, only the Uchiha or Senju or Uzumaki and what not. Not you hybrid freaks, with all sorts of bloodlines in your blood stream. I was also wondering if we could get a gist of what Clan's still hold 'power' to this day and age we have found ourselves in SL. And if any of you fine RPers may wish to rise to the occasion and lead such clan to glory and recognition. I figure a heavier involvement in clans, gives a more legitimacy towards those unique attributes. Rather than just saying, ohh my character is going to be a Yamanaka/Nara/Uchiha/Senju so he can has Rinnegan as well. I would love to see that fully devoted Uchiha, who still holds hate towards the Senju. Or that Akimichi member whom struggles with weight and cannot resist the urge to eat out. I feel like those aspects can shed some light to the gloomy world we setup SL to become. Add more NPC's to the mix and legitimacy and sense as to what is going on. Who are the clan heads? Who holds clan secrets in said faction? And again, I would love to see people rise to occasion to take care of what they value and wish to preserve. Else if there aren't people running actual clans, then their sacred abilities, lose its essence to being strictly for them. Which is what we have today
I'm not telling you to undo what you've already done, no. Simply wish to see if there are those who wish to have a more regulated field of clans and bloodline abilities. Not making it 'harder' to achieve such, but regulating it in a way to make bloodline abilities, something worth earning. Instead of just changing your last name a million times. Also would love to get a generalized list as to which clans still exist, even if its only a minor amount of followers and where.
Basically to start out from my beliefs;
Uzumaki Clan

Location: Uzushiogakure(entire island)
Attributes: Unlock Chakra Chains, Gain expertise usage with sealing formulas, Longevity and uniquely grand chakra pool, other Uzu hack traits to lazy to be listed.

Yamanaka Clan

Kaguya Clan

Inuzuka Clan

Yuki Clan

Attributes: Ice Release
Terumī Clan
Leader: Dāto Terumī
Location: Kirigakure

The unknown portions, is purely on my inability to actually know the answer. Which is why I brought it here, to help fill those gaps and possible even make new ones. I can update accordingly, as I would love to see a better regulation of Clans being incorporated into SL, rather than just being listed as where your character gained its 'power' from. Although this could just be another one of my crazy ideas. >>;
