Nokemono Clan

Formation (unknown date)
The Nokemono Clan's origins are unknown, but are believed to have been formed by a group of 'outcasts', from one or more clans. After finding land away from the other clans, though in just the right spot to be found by future members, the Nokemono Clan's base was built.

The presence of the Nokemono Clan became more known over time, becoming a symbol of dishonour amongst the other clans.

Loss of Order, Ongoing Poverty
The Nokemono Clan started well, but as their numbers grew, so did poverty and chaos. Leaders began to fall out of power rapidly, and conflicting views on other clans and how to run a clan even brought about civil war.

At one point, the Nokemono Clan even tried going to war with the other clans, only to be forced to back down after losing many lives and a lot of resources. This significantly worsened the pre-existing poverty in the clan, descending them further into chaos.

Present Day
While less new members from other clans appear before the Nokemono Clan (due to extinction of various clans), the Nokemono Clan remains in poverty and chaos, but on the rare occasion trades with other clans in hopes of being able to restore the order, or at least gain support from another clan to help them do so.

Beliefs & Traditions
The Nokemono Clan has no set 'clan system', as such, however there are some common beliefs that have been established amongst the disorder and chaos of the clan. Other beliefs varied among different leaders, and even the people of the clan, due to the clan not sharing a common set of values to live by.

The Rank "Chief Nokemono" Is Open to Anyone
Since there isn't a royal bloodline as such within the clan, the spot of leader is open to just about anyone, that has the will to kill the previous clan leader or defeat them in combat. Reigns of leaders are often short, often much shorter in comparison to the reign of a leader in any other clan. However, those that are 'more fortunate' in the clan are often those who are more eligible, and last longer. Leaders and their specific beliefs have greatly varied throughout the clan's existence, but mostly have had the best interests of the clan in mind.

All the Other Clans Are The Enemy
The 'other clans', being the reasons the Nokemono Clan exists in the first place, are deemed the enemies of the Nokemono Clan. Believing the other clans have wronged them, the Nokemono Clan wants to be known as a force not to be messed with, that is one they have the ability to make a stand against the other clans.

Ranks

 * Clan Leader/Chief - Known as the "Chief Nokemono", the leader is the authority of the clan. Their power is deemed limited, due to the widespread poverty of the clan.
 * Advisor - The advisor is usually a close friend or relative of the chief, or may be their partner. Advisors are often seen as a rather shady people, the position gaining a reputation after many advisors overthrew their chief throughout time.
 * Shopkeeper/Trader - Shopkeepers and traders have to work with very little resources in order to earn money. Sometimes, if not often, they steal from others to resell in order to make a living.
 * Doctor - Doctors have a reputation of being a 'death sentence' in the clan, due to the lack of proper training and medical resources.
 * Farmer - Farmers are the one of most common ranks within the clan, providing some of the food the clan needs to sustain themselves, though the amount they can supply is limited, due to the limited resources they have.
 * Scavenger - The lowest rank of the clan. Scavengers find everything from building materials to food to provide for the clan.
