Moisson Clan

''This page is about the Clan formed by the Moisson family. Do not be confused by the Moisson Family themselves, who have their own history predating their clan.''

Formation (2898 BCE)
Atsufumi Shūkaku, who married the granddaughter of the late Kina Atali, founded the Shūkaku Clan as a safe place for his growing family, as well as other families of Oscuri descent. The clan practiced the Dark Arts, just as the Atali Tribe did 51 years ago. Unlike other clans of the time, the Shūkaku Clan was not incestuous, though over time the beliefs of leaders varied, subsequently adjusting the beliefs of the clan.

Female Leadership
The Shūkaku Clan was one of the very first clans to be led by a female, having previously only allowing a male to lead them. Takamasa Shūkaku allowed women to train as within the clan at any rank, with the belief that if done so correctly, anyone can be made into a warrior, as well as training his own daughter to become his successor. Generally, the clan thinks more of their female leaders than the males, that is excluding the extremely sexist Himiko Moisson.

The 'Ideal Moisson'
The Moisson Clan has unenforced, but somewhat discriminative ideals of how people should look. How imposing these ideals are varied over time depending on the views of the clan's leader. Both the 'ideal males' and 'ideal females' have pale skin, purple eyes and an 'above average' height. Visible Oscuri traits (i.e. tails, horns, ect.) are of high value to the clan. Battle scars are seen as signs of courage and bravery, however, should those scars be in one's back, they are seen as signs of cowardice and/or incompetence.

Female Ideals
In the eyes of the Moisson Clan, females should be tall (above 5' 8" ft at least), and have well defined hourglass figures, with a large bust and hips, and a thin waist. Traditionally, very long hair was seen as ideal, but this gradually shifted to shorter hair in recent centuries, believed to derive from depictions of Kina Atali with shoulder length hair. Depending on their rank, more 'muscular' women are seen as attractive in the clan, alongside the usual curvy, clear skinned female. To a degree, women with scars are seen as very attractive, although too many can land said woman into finding difficulty getting married.

Male Ideals
Males are seen as ideally above 6 feet tall at least, with wide shoulders and thinner hips, and a muscular, bulky figure. Ideally, males have long hair, which can either be tied up or left out, with well groomed, tidy facial hair. Full beards usually symbolise wisdom and high levels of respect, and are usually worn by older men. The more scarred they are physically, the more attractive they are.

R anks
Both in it's Traditional and Modern periods, the Shūkaku/Moisson Clan was very military-based
 * Clan Leader - The head of the clan. This place can only be held by one that is within the Moisson family bloodline. They have almost total control over the clan, although there are some powers that either their advisor hold or that simply nobody can change. If the spouse of the clan leader is deemed qualified to, they can lead alongside the current leader, however this is at the decision of the clan leader and advisor.
 * Advisor - The one person who has the powers over the clan that the leader does not. As their title may suggest, their job is to advise the clan leader and the rest of the clan. They help the leader make decisions by offering them advice. The advisor is the only person who can de-throne a leader, within reason. The advisor is also responsible for legal decisions within the clan alongside the leader.
 * Heir - The next potential clan leader. Typically heirs are the offspring of the clan leader/s, however if the leader does not have their own children, an heir can be a nephew/niece of the leader. If there are no children within the Moisson bloodline, the heir can be another relative of the leader, one that is usually younger than them.
 * Royal Guard - Special soldiers dedicated to protecting the clan and specifically its leader.
 * General - Hand picked by the clan's leader and advisor, they are in charge of the different military sections of the clan (i.e. the assassins, foot soldiers, scouts, royal guard). They are also responsible for the training of their allocated sections.
 * Assassin - Deemed the most stealthy and agile of the clan, assassins are incredibly dangerous. At various points in time, assassins became more common with the circumstances of the wars the Moissons fought in. Many have the ability to shapeshift, and they are considered the most respected military force of the clan.
 * Sorcerer - Can be considered a branch off the assassin rank, although they specialise in types of dark magic other ranks do not learn or are incapable of using.
 * Foot Soldier - The typical Moisson Clan member. All are trained in the arts of dark magic, and can wield light swords or shurikens. All can at least use short-range magic.
 * Scout - The 'spies' or long ranged soldiers of the clan. Although they're below the typical foot soldier, they often use specialised, enchanted weaponry, or longer range dark magic. Typically scouts are the shortest people of the clan, females being below 5' 8" tall, males being below 6' tall.
 * Nurse - Highly trained specialists in medicine and certain areas in dark magic. As their title would suggest, they do not fight, but rather heal and rehabilitate the injured or ill within the clan.
 * Servant - The lowest ranking in the clan. Often they have little to no skills in magic, but are trained in self defence, may a life threatening situation arise. Roles can include as maids/butlers, blacksmiths, shop owners, farmers, etc.
