Title: If a clan leader dies...
Post by: Chickenllamacactus on December 05, 2014, 06:34:14
I know that there has been a lot of posts about clans but my question is what would happen should the clan leader die. would there be an option to pick a successor or will it be picked automatically? Also, what would happen if the leader of a clan gets a kekkei genkai and starts a new clan?

I'm sure if a clan leader dies the clan members will be able to pick a new leader, and if the clan leader got a kekkei genkai and started a new clan he would be able to pass it on to his clan, through a code which can be entered at character creation, there's no chance of this failing and your character dying, and in game, but for this option there is a chance of it failing and your character dying, you also need someone with high medical ninjutsu to transplant the kekkei genkai, and there's a 0.02% chance of someone getting a kekkei genkai.

I think Kai might have tried to explain a little too much in too short of sentences, so I'll try and rephrase it.

This is actually a good question, and I agree with Kai. The clan members will probably be able to choose their next leader.

As for the next question, that is also a good one. I am not really sure myself, but I am assuming that if a clan leader decides to leave his clan and start a new one for a kekkei genkai, then they would choose a new one. However, what I think Kai was trying to say is that it won't be necessary. Your character is determined to get a kekkei genkai at character creation, and it is unlocked at Jonin level. Once you unlock it, you receive 3 special DNA codes you may use on someone else (with a 33% chance of success, if I remember correctly.) So, if a character was a leader of a clan and was a Chunin, then graduates to Jonin level and unlocks a kekkei genkai, they would be able to pass it down their current clan as opposed to just leaving them.

I hope I was able to answer your questions c:

As a clan leader, you most likely have someone who you trust enough to succeed you in case you die while you're still alive. We don't even know at the moment whether a clan's leader would be a game mechanic or just a mutual agreed chosen leader by the clan members, no mechanic involved whatsoever.

As for the Kekkei Genkai thing, you get to pick a new family name and thus start a whole new clan. You must leave your old clan though, leader or not.

And you could use the above mentioned 3 codes to try and get 3 members of your old clan into your new one. Then if a code succeeds that guy can just pass it to another 3 persons and so on until you shift all your old clan into your new one. That'd be almost impossible though.

In my personal opinion, this should be the case. Let orgs and clans do whatever they want. If they don't want a leader, then they don't need one. If they want elections, make them hold it for themselves. Ya feel.

Let me explain you more about clans. The leader of a clan is by default the person who created the clan.

Being a clan leader will allow you to do the following:
Anyone can leave their clan at any point, they will however keep their last name and not be able to join a different clan. A banished or departed clan member can still be re-recruited by their clan.

When a clan leader leaves his clan, gets killed or is offline for a long period of time, the next highest in rank will be the new appointed leader.

Dismantling a clan won't be possible unless you plan to kill all clan members. However, a clan can still get dismantled if all the members decide to leave it.

And finally, nothing prevents banished clan members from coming together and forming an organization.
