Any members looking for a family? Post here.

[Jin]

Any forum members looking for a family and wish to join one but are not sure which one is right for them? Why not write a little bit about yourself and write what type of ideals, philiosophies, and other misc. things you look for in a family? This is a way for family leaders to know about you by lookng at this thread and contact you if they meet your expectations.

Here's an example of what you could write:

IGN: Hitori Ikiru
Personality: Generally nice and friendly, outgoing and dedicated.
Profession(s) in-game: I would like to be an artisan and a master swordsman
What I'm looking for in a family: Highly social, adventurous, warm and honorable family that follows peaceful ideals and resorts to violence only if absolutely necessary.

[ODA-NOBUNAGA]

What an excellent post Jin, nice one :You_Rock:

[ToshiMaru]

maybe change the IGN to "Possible RP Name", personally i might think of changing my name ingame. so, just a thought.

[Mumyou]

I am looking for a family.

[Tomoshibi]

Hee hee. Unless you don't care what kind of family you join, I suggest you put down your interests and ideals. Or, if you're not feeling overly lazy at the moment, I suggest you read a little in each of the family forums. Good luck on finding a family.

[Ronin]

IGN: Nodin (wind :D)
Personality: I am generally nice, and I almost always want to help someone who could help me back, i am also extremely dedicated to my friends. If it's needed i am ruthless and if i become angry (which is extremely rare) i can get... aggressive.
Profession(s) in-game: I would like to be a Blacksmith and a travelling master swordsman, but i can stay in one place for a while if i am needed, or my friends want me to.
What I'm looking for in a family: Helpful people not worried to lend a hand, especially if i can help them back. Also, i don't care about honor or anything like that, it is a code for... i'll just say others :hitwithro lol. I do, however, expect people to stick to agreements and deals. that is the one part of honor i stick to indefinitely

[Jin]

^ Nice description Nodin. I'm sure a family representative will contact you soon. I would myself, but we're a ninja family, heh.

[Ronin]

Oh, and just for the record, i will be on a search to find all ninjitsu schools, and maybe even dabble in their arts of stealth... could be useful

[ComicP]

IGN: chakkari
Personality: errrr...i'm an honest person with slightly mean additude, usually when i'm trying to be funny.
IG proffession: Either a theif or a vagabond with taming and hunting skills.
Family: people who don't care what i do as long as it's not complete and utter betrayal.

[Takeo]

IGN: Tachibana Takeo (not sure^^)
Personality: honest, loyal, friendly ect...^^
IG Profession: maybe espionage, stealing, assassination,...
Family: uhm...kinda ninja-clan or something^^

[Ronin]

This is a good thread... people need to keep posting here!

[selmo]

Takeo, you may find a spot in the Yakuza branch of Ikko, we focus on espionage assassination and theivery.

Stop by and apply if you wish.

[Alden]

IGN: *Masato* Aruden San
Personality:
IG Profession: Horse Raiser/Tamer/Instructor, hopefully high up in the family, if not equal to the leader
Family: Interested in one which will have Vent or TS, with a website and forums setup, looking for something very organized, has to have this up before the game actually goes out for retail, I can put a lot of my time into it, however, I must see results.



*My last name can change.*

[Ronin]

Well, at this point I don't think you can really become as high up or equal to a leader in the Ikko, and no TS or nething, but we are the largest, plus we will own land, where you could raise horses. I will try to keep it organized as much as possible, but if it all succeds then it will become spread out and les organized...

[Alden]

sorry, forgot to add this, but i can develop websides as well as maintain them, am an expereneced HTML/java coder plus skills are going while currently in enrolled with school, expericence in most if not All of Adobe products, and same with the Macromedia Suite

I'm just used to pre-setup guilds/squadron's with WW2OL, WoW, GW etc., so it was just a thought, as TS/vent are surely needed for organized game units.

Obtaining the rank of leader of a family/clan wouldn't really be important, the only reason why I said that is because the game is newer and I would've thought that there might be an open space in a Family/Can.

[nobody4422]

you asked alot about external out of game features for the family you want, but what about the ingame personality?

As far as gaming and roleplay goes what kind of family are you interested in?

[Alden]

Anything can go, it doesn't really matter to me, as long as the family is active/has its own city or castle or town, it doesn't matter.


*Oh sorry, and another sidenote, if animal husbandry and taming or raising of horses is available, then I wouldn't mind become an armorcrafts man specializing in the creation of daiymo or independent samurai crafting

[Jin]

Can I ask you about your personality? And are you considering any combative professions/skills? (ie: ninjutsu, samurai, etc.)

[Alden]

Oh yeah, I want an all Samurai alt and another alt thats all ninjitsu


I have mostly sarcastic humor and laugh at low brow mostly, history/computer/video game nerd for well, almost my entire life, pretty outgoing but if needed can contribute all the time needed

[selmo]

Hmmm maybe if you want to be equal to or leader of a family you should make one....

[Telsist]

So, I've been around for a bit, read a lot of the threads and am trying to soak up as much information about the game as possible. I've got some ideas about the family I might look at closer, but I'd like to hear some of your thoughts to see if they match.

I'm a person who's bound by the honor of the word. It's not just the word, it's the intention behind the word that matters. If I state my intention, you're guaranteed that I'll follow through. Exceptions only occur when my memory fails me. I want absolutely nothing to do with ninjutsu as I refuse to fight an unprepared** opponent. I consider myself to have high amounts of respect for all things. I expect most people to equate or surpass my level of honor. Failure to do so isn't usually in your best interest. Politics, both of mouth and sword, are my cup of tea(warm tea only, please). Although I enjoy company and socialization, You can often find me in the serenity of a secluded location where I can self reflect.

My goal is to be as upstanding a citizen as possible. Your problems are my problems until they are no longer problems. Through good will, my name will be recognizable, this I can guarantee, not for my benefit...but rather your own. Learn from me what you can. My ear is open for what you teach.


**underskilled is different than unprepared. If I fight them, they will know I'm fighting them before the first swing is made. I consider this the "Gentleman's Duel" concept. Exceptions are made during large scale battles. Walking onto the field denotes that they've prepared themselves.


Tell me, what do you think best fits me?

[Jin]

I would recommend some families, but quite honestly, the ones that match your philosophies and goals are really inactive (on these forums anyway). I haven't seen any of their members for a LONG time, but then again, there's probably not a lot to talk about these days, heh.

The most active families on the boards are the Bakemono, Ikko, and Togakure in my opinion.

[Ronin]

Jin is right. We need em all to become active again ><

I Don't know if your thinking about the Ikko though.... You could be, but you just wouldn't sign up for the Yakuza branch? We don't exactly like Ninjitsu either... well... Selmo does.
As for politics and fighting, only a real Land owning family could give you that... and i think so far we are the only ones who are going to own land
As for Company and Socialization, the Ikko again. We have the most people right now and we are almost all partially active ><
and the serene location... there can be one somewhere in the land we own? i dunno, probably more
As for the intention thing, that can always carry you far in any Family, not only the Ikko

I think the Taifuunome fits you pretty well, as well.


P.S.:I will take this moment to also say that what the Ikko family does in the RPing isn't exactly what they will be like ^_^

[selmo]

Aye, if your interested in that kinda of family and join the Ikko, just stay away from the yakuza...we are pretty much the opposite of what you want, fighters with some ninjutsu, we can be honorable but more like we are oportunists we will stab an ally(not our own family) in the back if we see good reasoning/personal gain for it.

[Ronin]

well, u guys won't be that bad....

[Jin]

I dunno, he wishes to be an upstanding citizen.....while you guys aren't evil, you're aren't exactly good either, heh. He seems to be a very positive person and he's bound by honor.

I actually think Bakemono fits you best....wait are they going to learn some ninjutsu techniques?

[ToshiMaru]

The Bakemono is active, in some ways or another. Most, if not all of my members are inactive right now due to some things. But be asure that our family will become active again near beta, or during it. As for the details of us, I myself am in many ways, like you. I value honor over many things, and i do prefer duels...unless, the situation calls for a different means of combat.

The Bakemono isn't necessarily a ninja family, the members of our family can be whoever they wish. But, honor, loyalty, and many of these virtues are still stressed and will be taught repeatedly among the Bakemono. It does not matter what kind of person the member is, it only matters that they understand the importance of our values, and obey our rules.

From your personality, i would say the most fitting family would have to be, the Taifuunome Family. I consider them for the part because they are a group that is meant for peace and helping others. They are a monk sect though, so dont know if they will have much fighting. Other than they, i wouldnt mind recommending us. Although, we do take our share of fighting among other things. Loyalty, and moral ethics though, is something that i do hope to establish among my family.

[Shinzui]

Hello all, I am very new to this community, but I am interested in joining a family.

IGN: Shinzui
Personality: Shinzui is a mysterious person, inexplicably happy, and virtually always smiling. A shallow person might see him as being carefree and immature, but those who know him understand there is a much deeper nature. He has his own unique philosophies and will never hesitate to engage in conversation with anyone and everyone. His most significant weakness is strong drink.
Profession(s) in-game: His main interest is martial arts, and would like to work as a ninja. Learning new skills and perfecting his abilities is his main interest. His weapon of choice is the Naginata.
What I'm looking for in a family: I'm looking for a practical, but supportive and *active* family. Obviously a group that has a ninja background is preferable.

This is subject to some tweeking and fine tuning but this gives you a general idea.

EDIT: I have some more info on my character posted HERE (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503&page=3&pp=10) my post is towards the bottom.

[Ronin]

lol, post more about yourself and less about your character, we need to know about what you will be doing ingame to recommend you to somewhere ^_^

[Shinzui]

Well I'm still not too sure about that honestly. Anything in particular I should tell you about? Im basically just looking for something to shape my path. I gave him a pretty open ended bio for that reason. This character is pretty much based on how I plan on acting ingame so.. yeah.

[selmo]

Well, I have edited the yakuza we are now more mysterious opportunists, but the Ikko pretty much has a place for everyone so its hard not to recomend it. What I suggest is going through the major families, see if you find people who are doing what you think would be what you want to do in game.

Togakure
Taifuunome
Bakemono
Ikko
Kiri Shini

are the most active and major ones. I would say pick what you like best out of those, or dont let that list stop you from joining any others.

[moses]

oh sure just take Kiri Shini of the major ones. Just cause there are only 3 of us doesnt mean we arent gonna pwn. you make me sad :(

[Jin]

EDIT: I have some more info on my character posted HERE (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1503&page=3&pp=10) my post is towards the bottom.

The link doesn't seem to work. I think you were trying to goto HERE (http://eoeforums.com/showthread.php?p=22789#post22789).

Good description, since mercenary work is not for you, I would recommend the Taifuunome or my family, the Togakure. If you are interested in further advancement in martial arts and ninjutsu however, I would definately recommend my family for only in a ninja family and you fully advance in the ways of ninja. We are a very supportive, protective, and determined family. Our forums are HERE (http://eoeforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=113), so check it out whenever you have free time.

[selmo]

Another good ninja family is the bloodwheel though they are fairly innactive, I usta be in them.

Dunno what you mean jin the link worked fine for me but its all good!

[Shinzui]

Yeah it seems to work for me too, but technology doesnt always work the same for everyone haha.

[Ronin]

Well, i guess i could recommend The Ikko for flexibility and power, the Tokagure for ninja background, the Taifuunome for peace, and the Bakemono for mystery ooooo.

[Shinzui]

Thanks, I think I've found my place.

[GenghisKhan]

IGN: Takeo Hattori (dunno yet)
Personality: honest, very loyal to family, does wat is needed for the family, friendly
IG Profession: Warrior, Assassin, Blacksmith (very different i know :P)
Family: hhhmmm..., well, i want a family thats owns some lands, and is not entirely dedicated to war. But, the family should be in a couple of wars too.... xD

[Shinzui]

Just to let you know, you need 20 posts to join a family. That might be something you would want to work on as well. Welcome to the community though. ^_^

[Jin]

Welcome to the forums. I hope you find a family most suitably for you.

[Hakinhi]

Khan, you would be PERFECT for Kumamoto!
Click here for our Family Overview. (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839)

[Ronin]

Perfect for us as well, we are so far the major land owning family on these forums ^_^ go ahead and check us out in the Ikko Family Forum.... We can supply everything you wish, along with wars lol

[Senshi]

...... Ikko is big enough Ronin. Let Kumamoto (熊本) grow.

[selmo]

yeah haha, from now on we shall have a pop quiz!!

1) Who is the leader?
a.sykoi
b.shininshado
c.Kiros
d.ronin

>.> yeah thats all i got

[Senshi]

leader of what?
well....
I kno Ronin is leader of Ikko
Sykoi is leader of Sykoi.
Shininshado is leader of Taifunoome.
Kiros is leader of.... I don't know.

[Ronin]

Kiros is a leader???

[moses]

ya well who can get this one.

What is moses leader of?

hehehehe

[selmo]

leader of what?
well....
I kno Ronin is leader of Ikko
Sykoi is leader of Sykoi.
Shininshado is leader of Taifunoome.
Kiros is leader of.... I don't know.

i think Kiros is just the leader of everything else....

as for moses your the leader of riddles?

[moses]

well i didnt think of that, but i am that too! i was going for leader of the Campaign of Getting Members in the Flash Chat or CGMFC :P

[Telsist]

well i didnt think of that, but i am that too! i was going for leader of the Campaign of Getting Members in the Flash Chat or CGMFC :P

How can you be the leader of CGMFC when you're not, as of this very moment, in FC yourself? I checked. You're not there.

[SePPukU]

IGN: seika (sacred fire)
Personality: im a nice guy im confident but not outspoken and if talking in general conversations i dont say alot but when the right discusion on say issues arises i am more than willing to get my views accross.
Profession(s) in-game: i would like to be a philosopher and a travelling master swordsman.
What I'm looking for in a family: a family who's views agree with those of mine (please check some of my posts in serious discussion).and with members who arent afraid to voice theyre opinions or speak the truth no matter what the consequence but also are a little eccentric.

[Ronin]

I'm just wondering but how r u gonna be a philosopher in this game? lol ^_^

(i have already expressed my feelings of those saying master all the time >< i dunno if that is still arouund... go anger fueled posting!)

[Shinzui]

I don't think you should analyze it so deeply. The game won't allow people to be ungodly strong, and if someone gets ridiculous in the forum RP it's pretty easy to just let them know they are overpowered. When it comes to the philsopher thing, being a philsopher is only words. You can be a philospher anywhere. I plan on doing some philosophising myself ingame. ^_^

[selmo]

I'm just wondering but how r u gonna be a philosopher in this game? lol ^_^

(i have already expressed my feelings of those saying master all the time >< i dunno if that is still arouund... go anger fueled posting!)

Ronin...they are saying that would like to...its a goal im not gonna argue here im just saying if they want to be a master swords man let them set their sights to the unacheivable because yes you cannot totally 'master' somthing in this game but that way they are always working to get better and just dont stop when they are 'good enough'

[Ronin]

o god, don't start this up again >< plz.... :P i no i no...

[Senshi]

o god, don't start this up again >< plz.... :P i no i no...
Start what up? Heheheh. I wana kno, what do you want Selmo (or Shinzui) not to start up? (seriously I don't kno but i wana :P)

I would let u (SePPukU) into Kumamoto, but you hav to be mor active. And I'm not sure if u would want to anywayz.

[Ronin]

if u wanna no what then search through the tatsu forums in like a few months back. I found it but i forget its name now :P

[Telsist]

I'm nearing my 100th post and I still have found no family that screams "JOIN ME!" Does anyone know if we can still create new ones, or has that time passed? With the forum changes of late, I don't see a "Family" button at the top any more.

I am pretty sure you need to wait tillt eh new site that Sykoi si working on...he just upgraded the forums and has yet to impliment his 'mods' to it...so the ability to create familes I THINK has been disabled for now but permanently deffinatly NOT.

[Senshi]

I still have found no family that screams "JOIN ME!"
Kumamoto Family screams, "JOIN ME!!! JOIN ME NOW!!!"

I am pretty sure you need to wait tillt eh new site that Sykoi si working on...he just upgraded the forums and has yet to impliment his 'mods' to it...so the ability to create familes I THINK has been disabled for now but permanently deffinatly NOT
I can't wait! I want to mod my family's forum again. (wait, i can do that right)

[Zicdeh]

IGN: Zicdeh
Personality: I'm a nice dude, who is also very loyal
Profession in-game: A protector using hand to hand or a sword.
What i'm looking for in a family:A family who is deticated and will help out and always has each others back

[Senshi]

You could try Kumamoto :)


This is a summary of the
Kumamoto (熊本)
Family and its goals.

Kumamoto was a name I randomly came up with. Its name sticks with the
Japanese two Kanji family name rule. Also I later found out that there is a city
named Kumamoto.

We focus on how a person acts, and how our members treat others. Our
Objectives are:
• Keep our family strong and maintain control over our city. (after we build
it)
• Train hard to become stronger in all areas possible.
• Fight others only with reason and not recklessly.
• Help those in need. (Food, Water, Lodging, etc.)
• Help keep the peace.
• Make ourselves better, modeling ourselves on other people’s positive
actions and deeds.

We accept any kind of people. (Ninja, Samurai, Priests, etc.) Monks, farmers, and
other common folk are not always accepted, but are free to live in Kumamoto’s
city. The only people not allowed in the family under any circumstance are
loners, and criminals.

If you join there will be rules that you will have to follow:
• Betray us and DIE!
• Must have family sig image and In-game name in your signature.
• Help maintain the family’s city.
• You must not kill fellow family members without good reasoning.
• Serve the family and obey all orders
• Must be somewhat active

[Ronin]

You can also join the Ikko, we are a land owning family and we have so far the largest amount of players with us. We have many branches, will be engaged in battle sometimes, have multiple towns, train together, provide supplies, encourage the economy, and reward loyalty.

JOIN ME! :P

[Senshi]

Oy, question. Dos Ikko own In-Game land already? Or are u gonna own it later? Cuz if you don't own it now then u gotta say,"We WILL be a land owning family," instead of,"we are a land owning family" :P

BTW, yur family is big enough already. =_=

OO! and another question. When R U gona put the Ikko sig img into yur signature?

[Ronin]

Ok, i'll put it in now... and it's a type :P we don't own land yet but all it takes is two villages and we own land ^_^

[Jin]

heh, guys, please keep posts that are irrelevant to this thread to a minimum.

And Zicdeh, please visit our forums (at http://eoeforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=113) and read about our family background, our goals, etc. If you are interested please send me a PM with some more information about yourself and I will get in touch with you ASAP. :)

[Svage]

Well, Just in case anyone who is still looking for a clan, Dragon and Rose is still looking for good people. So far we only have the HIDA family, but other families are welcome. So I guess I am posting for both the Hida family and the Dragon and Rose clan. (yes, I did take the Family name from L5R, but no one else had it here that I saw.)

[knightwolf2]

IGN: Knightwolf

Personality:Cautious,when angry somewhat aggressive,and when in battle I tend fight to the death at all cost

Profession: I like to be a master swordsman (Katana/No-doshi) or master polearm (Halberd) and blacksmith

What im looking for in a Family: Loyalty,Honor,Honesty,and Team work (my favorite clan is the Hojo clan)

[Senshi]

Kumamoto would be happy to have you. ^_^
http://freewebs.com/kumamoto/

(But, I think Tatsu IGNs are supposed to be Japaneseish. Yours could be like, Kiishi Ookami, which is Knight Wolf in Japanese)

oh ok Senshi sorry about don't no much about the japanese culture,but I love the Japanese 16th-18th century civil war life style. Thank you for the advice.

[Ronin]

Well, the Ikko is still recruiting ^_^ we already have a nice amount of people and we are always looking for more, the more the better. Team work is a must for us, Honor and Honesty are, of course, required for interactions with people in our family but not in their personal dealings with others, just so we aren't strict ^_^ We leave personal dealings personal.

As for the fighting, we will try to conquer territory and there will most likely be much fighting to do in the beginning as well as later. Everyone who joins us is required to pick a craft in order to make our family selfsustainable

[Bai Kai]

I haven't decided on my in-game name yet.
I am a mature player.
Not afraid to roleplay. :D
I haven't exactly decided on my character class but, it will be a warrior/fighter of some type with a secondary crafting ability.
In a clan I look for comeraderie :grouphug: , assistance both given an accepted when needed, exchanging clothing and equipment to those that need it before selling items for cash.
Over all, making gameplay fun! It's a game, there is no point in being angry over the little things that happen, like dying on occasion :eek: or a bug interupts an adventure.

Any clan out there looking to recruit someone like myself, please let me know.

[Senshi]

Kumamoto would be happy to have you. :)

[Bai Kai]

Thank you for the offer.
Where can I learn more about the Kumamoto clan?

[Senshi]

Click on the Kumamoto image in my signature :)

[Bai Kai]

Thanks, Will do.

[Ronin]

You could also check out the Ikko Family, if you would like. we are the largest family so far and we are out for fun ^_^

[Senshi]

Too late :P

[Telsist]

You can't really call dibs, Senshi...unless of course you use terrorizing techniques of stabbity-doom. In which case, nicely done.:fing02:

[Senshi]

He applied at http://www.freewebs.com/kumamoto/joinkumamoto.htm

[Bai Kai]

I appreciate all the offers that I have received.

As you may be able to tell I have been accepted into the honorable Kumamoto clan.

Two reasons; 1] they have rules I easily understand and can follow
2] they were the first to respond

I imagine I will see all others on the battlefield as allies or my potential victims. Either way as long as we have fun I am all for it!

[Ronin]

right now the only people that will really be on the battlefield are those in the Ikko or Kumamoto families.... we are the only land owning families *high fives Senshi* ^_^

[Svage]

so what does it take to be a land owning family? If it is just a declaration, then the Hida family is land owning too, just not in this land. :P

[Link293]

You guys will never buy me out. Link flies solo, biznatches.

[Ronin]

Hmmm.... I'll give you a cookie, maybe two, but that's final!

[Zorbon]

hey link, we're in the eoe union remember? =P

Fear the power of the eoe union, my mad leader skillz has made team members green on the forums and ninja masters darker color! fear our power!
next up, no more spit in our coffee!

but really, i agree, solo for me ^^

[Ronin]

I'll give you some cookies as well ^_^

[Bai Kai]

Mmmmm..... Cookies!

nearly 42 years old and my 90 year old Grandma still calls me a cookie monster :D

[Senshi]

so what does it take to be a land owning family? If it is just a declaration, then the Hida family is land owning too, just not in this land. :P

Its really more of a planning thing, as in we plan to own land.

[yuir]

IGN:Dont know yet still thinking
personality: well you could say im a nice person to freinds and family and a nice person to who are not.
profession: it does sounds nice being a ninja or swordsman but i will live the simple life of a hard working farmer planting veg and looking after my chicken's and cow's

[Senshi]

Kumamoto (http://www.freewebs.com/kumamoto/index.htm) would be good for you. :) If you want to join click here (http://www.freewebs.com/kumamoto/joinkumamoto.htm).

[Ronin]

Or the Ikko, we are set up to support each other in the beginning and continue doing so as we go, conquering lands, and training family members.

Also all members are required to have a starter craft so you could try out the farmer system and still learn swordsmanship.

To join apply in our family forums

[Katsuro]

Hello. I'm interested in joining a family as well.

IGN: Katsuro Takahashi

Personality: Rugged, raw, ruthless, but not really a trouble maker. Does what he does to come up, has no fears, and is also very humble.

[Ronin]

You sound like a nice candidate for the Ikko. We are striving for power and you would work well in one of our branches. We are currently still the largest family and we are organized into branches instead of one large blob of members running around doing everything at once, but we are able to specialize because of our size. Any additional members will be happily welcomed as as our numbers grow so does our potential to make it in the game and make an actual impact on the game.

Ruthless, but not really a trouble maker is excellent and is what we want.

We don't have a web site, but you could check our forums.

[yuir]

HI HI Katsuro, well it is true that the ikko family is the biggest to the moment but bigger is not always better, now if i may put upon you the the idea of the Kumamoto family which I'm a member of, i wont put any presser on you but if you would like to know were about the kumamoto family just click on my Sig and it will take you to the Kumamoto family page

bye bye:)

ps we do have a website:P

You would also seem a good candidate for the Hida family. We are about strength. We are small now, but strength cannot be judged only by size, A bear will back down from a wolverene. If you want to know what the Hida famliy is like, Look at The Legend of the 5 Rings Crab Clan and Hida family. Only those who wish to join the family will be considered, no one shall be pressured. ALso take a look at the Dragon and Rose Clan, which the Hida are foremost in.

[Ronin]

Svage you are actually recruiting? :P

As they say, bigger isn't always better, except when you want to cover more are if you are a land owning family.

HI HI Dmaiyo and welcome to tatsumaki, it;s always good to see a new face around here, well if your looking for a family i recommend the kumamoto family(well i would since I'm in it ;) ) but there are other family's out there too so i recommend if you want first check all the family's out. then after you have read all about the other family's you then can make a informed decision and pick kumamoto :-p OK bye for now

bye bye


PS if you post in the Introductions section you will get a much bigger welcome then from just me:o

[selmo]

yeah post in the intro...if yuir was my only welcome id go crazy and kill myself...to avoid such a travesty welcome aboard!!!!!!

[yuir]

yeah post in the intro...if yuir was my only welcome id go crazy and kill myself...to avoid such a travesty welcome aboard!!!!!!

you know selmo some time i wish you would kill your self since you are already crazy:o...only jokeing dont kill your self becuse im the one who going to kill you!!!!!muha ha ha:D

ps join kumamoto

[selmo]

i look forward to watching you try yuir :-P you cant touch dis! i rock hardcore biatch btw this is a recruiting thread :) stay on topic

[Dmaiyo]

I appreciate both of your kindness. I look forward to playing this game when it comes out and I hope its everything I expect it to be. As for joining a family, I have no clue what kind of family I want. I encourage you all to post offers here so that I can have a wide variety to choose from.

Thanks!

[Ronin]

Dmaiyo you may also want to look at the Ikko family. We are a land owning family who will vie for power in Tatsumaki, and where better to practice your swordsmanship than on the battlefield among your brothers in arms?

We are the largest family so far and would gladly welcome more into our family. we are organized into branches for effeciency and you would probably, if you joined us, want to apply to the field ops branch.

We do, however, require that you choose a craft to be proficient with at the start of the game, because it will help us out immensely in the long run. If you're a swordsman than why not choose blacksmithing and make your own blades? That is if you decide to join the Ikko.

Also, Welcome to Tatsu!

[Katsuro]

i'm interested in the branches of ikko.
anywhere i can read more about this?
-katsuro~

[yuir]

i'm interested in the branches of ikko.
anywhere i can read more about this?
-katsuro~

*sigh* again with the ikko i just dont get it?, any way just look on the ikko family page's that should have all the info you need, or just ask ronin when you join:thumbsdow



(the more there is, the more i kill)

[selmo]

i swear i replied to this >.> i wonder if it got deleted...anyways mostly it was bashing everyone in this thread, then bashing yuir for being lame, then promising yuir ill kill her for rizzzzzle

i found a song by bhg that makes me think of you yuir!

anyways, stay proud!

[Ronin]

Katsuro read the threads in our family forum to learn about the branches.

Yuir don't take it to badly, people just want to join our family for different reasons, the reason why i would join us is because with this many members at the launch we can make a large effect on the game and start a prosperous land for players of all families.

[Ronin]

*shrug* rather be tool then a fool, Selmo

[Katsuro]

who said anything about joining anyone?
i'm interested in your branches, i want to see how organize you truly are.
-katsuro

[Ronin]

Well it's pretty much all there in the forums... of course the branches and our plans for them have been discussed in more depth by some leaders

[Shichi]

Is there any family that is focused on perfecting there sword fighting? I'm not talking about senseless battles. I'm talking about taking there sword fighting to an art form? Perhaps like establishing a great school of swordsmanship or something similar. Also are there any families that have a senior sword instructor that like tutors the family leader? Like in old samurai flicks the shogun's mentor.

[Senshi]

Raises Hand. Kumamoto is focused more on the Economics, Art, and other less violent ways. While Ikko, the other active family, is focused more on fighting, conquering, and power.

[Ronin]

Kinda, ya. We always could use a good sword style for the field, but if you want to make it a art form, go ahead and join up with the Kumamoto

[water737]

im new id like to find a family.

character name with most likely be shinka.
im friendly but tempermental so if i die u will hear me scream lol.
for profession all i have so far is i want to be a swordsman ill see how the game pans out and what job id like.
id like a family that will be fun, adventurous, organised, maybe have some rp, allow me to kill our enemies or criminals without being told off because being an arrogant samurai swordsman helping the peasants, why would you hesitate to kill him? ummm thats about it i suppose.

ciao :)

also can i found my own family if none jump out at me after a while or so? and also i said this in my introduction post but any intel on alpha or beta tests or new media content because it will take a while for me to gather money for the lifetime subscription and seeing wat u pay for is kinda my thing but from what ive heard so far if i had the money id be clicking subscribe rightr now. thanks.

[yuir]

i would say Join Kumamoto, but bear in mind we are not a actively hostile clan, we lean on the side on law and order, and a well structure foundation but it does not mean we want kill people it just that we will do if we have to. so kumamto is a clan for the mind and the soul

or on the other hand you can try are alliance partner the ikko clan, who are by far the largest and are always looking for another sword to join there army. the ikko do tend to have a yearning for power.so ikko is more for the body and spirit

[Ronin]

you should join either the Ikko or the Kumamoto, as Yuir said.

We, The Ikko, require people to pursue a craft as a extra to what everyone will train in, fighting. So you could start experimenting with swords and crafts early on and if you liked someone else's craft then you could learn it from them.

As Yuir said, we are larger and more aggressive than Kumamoto, while the kumamoto is smaller and more peaceful. Larger isn't always better for all people so it's really up to you in the end

[Delerium]

Well i am trying to start my own family but it appears I don't know how to start a forum. Is it disabled? Thanks for any help you can give

[Ronin]

its not working right now

[Katsuro]

so i'm interested in some dirty work.
anyone interested?

[Ronin]

dirty work? Well we do have the Yakuza Branch and thats about the only place to find that kind of work in any of the active familiees...

[hessan]

IGN: 武田信玄 - Takeda Shingen
Profession: undecided, but more likely to be a Buddhist monk, Shinto priest or warrior then anything else

I'm looking for a strong daimyo (family head) preferably with a active family to back him, but the former is more important to me. Beyond that, I will keep an open mind.

[Sokuku Ishimaru]

IGN: Sokuku Ishimaru
Personality: Calm and quiet, he will rarely speaks, instead, he simply acts. His motives in life would be simply to serve someone to the end of the Earth, he personally prefers not to rebel, but if Leader proves himself worthy, even he will convert to the cause of rebellion. Much of his personality devices from who controls him, and he will act according. On his own, he will be very law abiding, and even go as far as to instantly strike down criminals without a second thought. Of course, if someone comes to him with ideals to sway his mind, he will convert..It does not take much to make him a followers, simply a sound mind.

Ideals: Anarchy is unacceptable, those who cause trouble for there own well being, or kill without a cause must face his blade. His belief also falters some in the current government, though he is loyal, he finds there punishment to kind. In his mind, any act of crime shows a man destined for murder, or worse..Rape. He has a high respect for women, rare in the time, and would openly defy even an army if they intended to harm a woman. He is a very virtuous man, and in others, he is blinded sinner, as well as easily converted to causes not his own.

Wow. I like your ideals and morals. You, are of "a rare breed of the gamer species," since many of the gamers out there are asses, and don't care about anyone else. Kumamoto would be glad to have you in the family.

[Sokuku Ishimaru]

I will think about it, thank you for the offer and compliment.

[gundam9891]

Im looking for a family i will pre-order sometime this weekend when im not work -.-

[Ronin]

Please post your information like all the other applicants on here, then you will be considered by all active leaders that see you (i'm always watching.... muhahahahahahahahaha)

[Vahn]

Nothing has happened on this thread for awhile, so I'll use my post to bring it back.

I have two characters in mind, I'll go ahead and post both. I apologize for how long this is as I look back over it, but it is 3AM and I am enjoying the thinking process.

"Samurai"
IGN: Mizutani Makoto
Personality: Prone to silent contemplation, with bursts of humor often at unexpected times. Logical in conversation, philosophical in meditation. Has no problem wandering or remaining grounded to an area. Kind at heart, but will not hesitate to carry out any act in the protection of his self or loved ones. Would certainly help a stranger in need, but is also one to assess the situation and respect the value of what can be learned by an individual if help is not given constantly. While he keeps it in check publicly, he has no real disdain for the lower classes; be they peasant or eta, Western medical practitioner or Eastern 'magician'. Will follow orders from superiors but is not beyond questioning them if circumstance requires it. Honor above all else, but an honor that is not set in stone; the world changes - so to does the applicable points of an honor code.
IG Profession: The pursuit to understand his soul through his sword, bringing body and blade together as one. Unfortunately, this does not pay, unless a job as an instructor opens up. Therefore, financially, the pursuit of Whatever Is Available At A Given Time.
Family: A Family that respects individuals for their assets not only to the Family, but to the land as a whole.
----------------------------------------------------------------

"Shinobi-Ninja"
IGN: Watanabe Tenzo
Personality: Inquisitive by nature. Understands the value of information, regardless of its relevancy to the present time. Knows that to gain victory in combat - be it physical or mental - an understanding of the opponents thought processes is essential. Birth order, astrological sign, age, family, job - all information that can be used to determine how one thinks so as to better stay one step ahead. Values silence and secrecy.
IG Profession: "Publicly", his profession depends on mission objectives. Should he stay in one place for an extended period of time (as a Spy), a merchant or like position would suit him well. Should he be on the move (as an Assassin), a traveling position (traveling actor, swordsman, ronin, etc) would work better. Essentially, a job suited to his needs at the moment. Because of this, he is also somewhat of a scholar - needing to "stay on top of the game" in any profession he may be required to take up - a Jack of All Trades, if you will.
Family: A Family that values the information network, does not keep its members in the dark entirely as they understand respect and expectancy is a two-way street, and a Family that is supportive of its members.

[Senshi]

I like the Mizutani Makoto character. :)
Well, if you are interested in joining the Kumamoto, feel free to apply here -> http://eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795

[Ronin]

Everyone of all shapes and sizes are allowed into the Ikko. You can see us at our family forums (applications are there as well)

[Letum]

IGN: Koroshiya or Letum
Personality: Usually nice and helpful. i enjoy philosophical conversations. patient, depending on situation though.
IG profession: Whatever is required, preferrably killer for the family (no matter how hard or easy the combat will be in the game i will do every assignment).
Family: a family that will provide me challenges, "physical" as well as mental.

[Senshi]

You are welcome to join the Kumamoto family if you wish. If you do, please apply here. -> http://eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795

[Ronin]

You are also welcome to join the Ikko, see our family forums for info.

Another soldeir or fighter will be more than welcome with us.

[Tenshin]

Vahn, Watanabe Tenzo would suit the Togakure very well, take a look at that family.

[Vahn]

Thanks, I'll take a look if the game ends up being such that I can manage two characters. However Mizutani Makoto is now a member of Kumamoto, so that is my primary focus.

[Tenshin]

Welcome to the Family.

[Mikey]

hi, my name is mike. I intend to form a small ninja clan.

i really like the Kumamoto Clan, as they are very bureaucratic minded and have done their homework on the period. i would like to form a strong nation in cooperation with the Kumamoto Clan. In our opinion, they are a contender to be a ruling clan in Tatsumaki, and as we have no such aspirations ourselves, we intend to cooperate and specialize in our own tasks so that they can specialize in theirs. We will build a strong nation of many clans.

our clan intends to cooperate with other clans towards building and maintaining a nation. my clan would be more oriented towards having fun and goofing around. it would not be a particularly violent clan compared to ninja stereotypes, but instead a humble tool for our nation and Daimyo. i figure a nation's ninja should be specialized towards different peacetime tasks as well as warfare. my clan will specialize in running really fast. we hope to be the mail carriers and couriers for our nation and possibly others. (hopefully communication in the game is difficult enough to merit mail carrier services.)

also i figure there will be enough killers in the game. I intend to go fishing and play minigames. (boardgames)

if the mail thing doesn't pan out, we may be an elite ninja gaming & fishing clan. if the daimyo ever wants to solve a conflict with another daimyo via Shogi tournament or fishing contest, we intend to show the enemy no mercy rawr.

*twitches slightly

hi hi mikey, i like the sound of you clan for why fight a war with life an death at risk, when you can fish :) anyway in my semi offical postion as one of the governers, we welcome any cooperation from any peacefull clan, that will help build a stable nation, but if you wish for more then just simple cooperation, you will have to send a offical document, with your seal on it, to my lord, senshi

As for your clans profession i think that the game world, will be large,and i dont think there is going to be a global chat put in (hope not) so that a trusted runner or courier serves will be usefull,as well as profitable as information is the key to all thing, oh coures you could also sell information to other ppl or deliver misinforation at the right price too:P

ok bye bye for now

Ps whats your clans name

[Mikey]

i don't know much of kanji, so maybe i could get some help here.

i was leaning towards Kasaru

"Fire Monkey" Clan unless i've made a mistake, which is very possible. google educated'

and thanks, lindsey lohan's tits are super

[Senshi]

It would be great to add another clan to the alliance. :) (Kumamoto & Ikko)

But I believe that 'Fire Monkey' would be Hisaru - 火猿.

[lordtemplar]

Shinobi Clan in Development, the name has yet to be finalized however it will either be based off of the Fuma Clan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C5%ABma_Kotar%C5%8D) or the Legendary Sanada ninjas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanada_Ten_Braves).

I am personally making the website for the clan, as I've made guild sites for WoW before, and it will be done fairly soon. The site contains a strong roleplaying feel and contains many images familiar to Feudal Japan (the images are my own) and also has a complete set of music reminescent of Feudal Japan (all music has been licensed and is owned by me).

5 unofficial members so far.

Clan Preview
This clan is purely based off of the shinobi during the Sengoku era. Unlike many clans, this clan has no false historical background. The clan is based on principles:

“During the day, we are the craftsmen, we are the peasants, we are the nobles, we are the wanderers, we are the merchants, we are the farmers, we are the builders, we are the soldiers- we are the people. During the night, we are the ninja.” Daytime... we are the noble samurai, the blacksmith, the farmer, the adventurer. Then at night, we are assassins.

"The shadow of all invisible, the soundless of all silence: will he assassinate the night itself?” This is what it says, the best weapon of an assassin is stealth. How better to beat a stealthed enemy than to be better stealthed? I won't get into the details, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobi-iri shows it well.

“Whenever there is someone in need, they always have a friend.” From personal experience, a good way to gain respect from both allies AND enemies is through power... but the best way to gain respect from both allies and enemies is through power and sincerity. Helping others is a big deal, and it's always a good idea to help newcomers... remember that saying? "Today's beginners are Tomorrow's experts." So by helping someone, you may gain a valuable friend.


Ranks
This will either be based off the Genin, Chunin, Jonin system for shinobi. (As historically accurate as possible) or off the Go-dai elemental system of ranks. Chi [EARTH], Sui [WATER], Ka [FIRE], Fu [WIND], Ku [VOID].

Fighting
There is no clan specific fighting styles that members must use. Anyone can fight with whatever weapon they want, and whenever they want, as long as they are able to remain within the boundaries of a shinobi.


More information to come as the website is developed.

[kazze]

well id like to join a family once i get to play..
i have pre-order and etc but i dont know were to download the game =)

[Shiro]

Lalal - Wrong post.

[yuir]

hi all i thorught i would post this again, for all the new members we have gotten, but my not have found there way to the family pages yet

so too all you people out there pick family or end up like selmo:P but no rush.....or is there

Any forum members looking for a family and wish to join one but are not sure which one is right for them? Why not write a little bit about yourself and write what type of ideals, philiosophies, and other misc. things you look for in a family? This is a way for family leaders to know about you by lookng at this thread and contact you if they meet your expectations.

Here's an example of what you could write:

IGN: Hitori Ikiru
Personality: Generally nice and friendly, outgoing and dedicated.
Profession(s) in-game: I would like to be an artisan and a master swordsman
What I'm looking for in a family: Highly social, adventurous, warm and honorable family that follows peaceful ideals and resorts to violence only if absolutely necessary.

[Kusoyaro]

IGN: Kusoyaro (prolly gonna put some kind of lastname to it, suggestions would be appreciated)
Personality: Otherwise silent and observating, but when talked to, tends to start babling, likes to daydream and think rationally
Profession(s) in-game: Bathhouse owner who's hobbys are Martial Arts
What I'm looking for in a family: Very active, Tournaments/Clan wars occasionally, otherwise rather peaceful clan who need a Bathhouse :P

Hi Kusoyaro, well if you are looking for a peaceful clan i recommend Kumamoto:P we believe that the land need to be in peace and under laws so that you can build a good foundation and prospers but if you are looking for a more aggressive clan are try ikko, they also believe in peace but more the peace thought power approach, but there are other clans out there it just that they are not active at the moment, but you can check them out on there family pages

ps how about Emiko

[Ronin]

Thats a good response yuir, may your rule of this thread be long and happy.

it is exactly as yuir said. and no matter which side you choose, we will be seeing eachother ingame, because of our alliance.

Long live the alliance!

[Staje]

They call me the staje ((Pronounced Staj)) My real name Is kyoukan Toroi. ((A merciless Warrior who travil's the mountain side.)) I have nothing but the clothing on my back and a blade at my side. I am not to be crossed or recconed with. I would cut you down at my feet and sell your soul. ((Katana)) To feed my own starving hunger. The Imperialist Law does not move me. My passion is my crime. I seek that witch i wish to find. For Greed make's us all blind.

OOC. Hi im Staje Im just looking for a good role playing clan That would maybe accept my style. In paticular "if" i had a choice in the mater i would hope to find a home in the Kumamoto Clan. You guys seem like you know what your doing. Any way Im friendly but shy i think. . .

I usualy like to play a shady charecter. Who has done horrible things in his past. who one might think just would flip out and do the worst thing. But he would make the right choice at the end when it realy count's. The one who seek's redemption.

[yuir]

HI HI staje, Glad to see that you want to join the kumamoto clan, while you character profile seems to be at odds with the kumamoto ideals, i will see if Senshi will accept you, but if he says no try are alliance partner the Ikko clan who would be happy to have another merciless Warrior in there clan:-P
ok bye bye for now

[Senshi]

If you wish to join Kumamoto, please pick a signature image from here -> http://eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796 (I'm sorry that I haven't gotten around to fixing the background color to match the new forums yet)

I should also say that Kumamoto isn't just about roleplaying, but it's also ingame too. :)

[Vahn]

Staje -- Seems Senshi gave you the thumbs up, congrats - if you choose to join.

On the point of your character: "[quick to anger, may cause trouble but]...makes the right choice in the end. the one seeking redemption" -- It'd be interesting to have that kind of outlook from one of our clan members.

[Staje]

((Hmm. This is awsome. Thanks guys So much Senshi esspecaly.))

I am honored. I vow To do The will of the family. Follow your code.

[Crimse]

IGN : Not yeettt..(that's not my IGN, i just don't have one yet ;)) Aiming for Crimse, just crimse, no last name unless i get into a family that wants my last name to be my last name then it would be ____ Crimse or however they do it in japan.

Personality : Not even I know. Mixtures and mixtures of impure emotions. To sum it up, it all depends on my mood, the person i'm directing my attention to. but i can tell you one thing, i'm not so much for kissing the ass of my authority figures. (that'll get me a family!)

Profession : Something unique, no ninja stuff cause well, we already know that'll be over populated. (probably something within weapon craft and well, i really havn't looked at the professions yet, just gunning it.)

What i'm looking for in a family : Active, that can tolerate diffrent my bipolar ways, i don't go extremo emo, i either don't talk at all, or i talk alot, depending on my mood. bit more complex than that but that's the summary of the book.)

as a side note, I really don't role play, i find it kind of fake, as i do with all acting, so i just be myself, but i can role play as myself >:).

edited to make it easier to read.

sumed up version.
name : crimse
Personality : scratch my back, i'll scratch yours, stab my back, i'll stab yours, but with a bigger sword.
profession : craft
family i'm looking for : active, not power hungry fiends.

and i'm done!

[YyriSan]

HI HI, Yyrisan and welcome to tatsumaki, and to answers your question, no you dont have to pre order to join a family, you should check out each family's pages as they will tell you about them,then ask to join them or you can wright a littel some thing about yourself on this post and how you will want to act in-game and then a family that thinks you match there ideals my offer you to join them.

ok thats it for now bye bye and welcome


what i'm looking for in a family :Acitve/helpful/friendly/ then i think the kumamoto clan for you( well i would:p )

[YyriSan]

hehe thx
gonna look for some now

[Lonelyassassin5]

Do you have to pre-order to start a family?

[Ronin]

No, you don't need to preorder to start a family, i don't think the family system has been up for a very long time now.

Yyri, the Ikko are always looking for more people and i want a greater range of players than just fighters to join. The one catch to you joining would be that you'd have to learn a craft as well to help insure a more productive start and a better player economy in the long run.

[Lonelyassassin5]

Im not looking to join a family, I want to start one. But not yet soon though.

[blacknebula]

Hey guys, ok I was here a LONG time ago and then I got inactive for a while, but now i'm back for good. I don't have that many posts and I know I need 20 to join a family but here's my profile for consideration.

I like to think of myself to be a badass, but also I take the word Honor really, really, REALLY, seriously. Therefore I will do anything to protect the name and Honor of my family. I will help anyone who needs me and I will be there when things get tough even if I have to fight someone more experienced than me. I love war and fighting (for a good cause), and I never start fights, but if someone is looking for trouble they will find it. I also love horses (ummmm mounted combat) I wonder if I can do that, I'd like to tame animals if it can be done. :D In conclusion, I want a family who can provide me with all this good stuff. Ronin, I want In. :cool:

Hey guys, ok I was here a LONG time ago and then I got inactive for a while, but now i'm back for good. I don't have that many posts and I know I need 20 to join a family but here's my profile for consideration.

I like to think of myself to be a badass, but also I take the word Honor really, really, REALLY, seriously. Therefore I will do anything to protect the name and Honor of my family. I will help anyone who needs me and I will be there when things get tough even if I have to fight someone more experienced than me. I love war and fighting (for a good cause), and I never start fights, but if someone is looking for trouble they will find it. I also love horses (ummmm mounted combat) I wonder if I can do that, I'd like to tame animals if it can be done. :D In conclusion, I want a family who can provide me with all this good stuff. Ronin, I want In. :cool:

Actually you don't really need 20 posts to join a family. That was just a requirement of the forum's family system that has long since been dead.

And remember, that Kumamoto has room for members too. :)

[blacknebula]

Ummmm... hey senshi I'll check out ur family page if Ronin doesnt respond soon. Awesome I didnt expect any1 to answer so fast. Btw love ur family pic dude.

[Senshi]

Thanks. It doesn't really matter which family you choose as mine and Ronin's families are in an alliance together. (though if you joined Kumamoto I would retain a better grip on bragging rights as the family with the most active members)

[blacknebula]

Gotta say I found a PDF file u made about Kumamoto and I liked it, I want in. Problem is... how do I get into a family... (srry still noobish).

[Vahn]

Blacknebula: It's easy to join a family. You find the family thread, read their rules about applying, apply, and hope you get in :D

For instance, you could head over to the Kumamoto Family (http://www.eoeforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=116) section of the forum, and apply in the Info & Joining Thread (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795).

[blacknebula]

Awesome Thanks Vahn!

[Ronin]

wow i'm sorry i don't get on more ^_^ i see you've already applied to the kumamoto but if there is a last minute change you want you would be happily welcomed to the Ikko (i don't know if its too late)

[Jahagwa]

IGN: Miyamoto Musashi something tells me someone already has that name -_-
Personality: Silly, Dorky, strange at times, friendly and i am a thinker (when i need/have to be).
IG Profession: Master of the Katana or a Shaolin monk maybe even a blacksmith.
Family: A family that takes joy into harming others.

[Joeru]

IGN: Joeru Asura

Personality: I'm a Ronin, what else can I say, the lone wolf who steps in when needed, to defend those who have no honour. I have discarded Bushido as it is useless in a time like this, when Lords send all of their men to die for them, how is that honourable? Though of course I have a strong tendency to drink alcohol.

Profession(s) in-game: A Ronin looking to become the best.

What I'm looking for in a family: A family that takes care of its own and upholds honour. One that is active as well.

EDIT by Senshi
You stated that the reason for you deleting your own post was that you don't have 20+ Posts. That rule requiring 20+ posts to join a family is very old, and was only required by the forum's family system which has long since ceased to work. So I have undeleted your post. It is now up to individual families to set how many posts a user needs to join his/her family.

[Ronin]

Well, the Ikko could be a choice for you, although you'd have to be more... specific about yourself. I can also recommend the Kumamoto, but they are more passive then the Ikko.

[HonSo]

Ronin have you thought about the answer i gave you and your decision on me joining your family?

[Ronin]

This is not the place to ask that, but i'll go look at it

[Jahagwa]

Well, the Ikko could be a choice for you, although you'd have to be more... specific about yourself. I can also recommend the Kumamoto, but they are more passive then the Ikko.

I need to be more specific... Hmm...

Name: same as before but Jahagwa (ja-hag-wa) would be fine; long story with that one, lol.

Personality: to add from before, i am an unorthodox person. I hope i spelt that right, English is not my subject. Being unorthodox, i mean that i am creative in problem solving, even if its abit on the ghetto side or just genius. However my brain works differently everday, so the odds of it being just werid or clever idea is unpredictable. I am also a friendly person, i enjoy helping others with whatever the problem is.

Profession: When i said Shaolin... I'm going to change that, i practiced a few martial arts, and my strong points are quick never ending strikes, very similar to fighting with a Bokken. If i were to be a blacksmith, i would specialize in weapons, and i would be mostly making Katanas or throwing daggers.

Family: Doesn't harm others for their own enjoyment, a honorable family. Will fight to protect themselves even other families if their getting kicked around more then they should.

I hope this helps, lol.
Thanks for helping everyone find their families/guilds/linkshell. I see you here alot on here ^^

[Raion]

Hi. Im looking for a family too.

IGN: Raion (thunder)

Personality, philosophy: strict moral code, bend bushido, zen-budhizm and such to fit in my philosophy. Social but sometimes need time alone. "If something cannot bedecided by words, let the sword decide and honor the decision."

Proffesion ingame: swordsman, swordsmanship instructor, swordssmith

looking for: A family wich could accomodate me. A noble and honorable family. No rogues, thieves.

[yuir]

hi there, i would say that for the both of you, jahagwa and raion the Kumamoto caln would be ideal, as we are more...lets say peaceful in are nature, and we are always looking for a few more souls to joins us to help build a strong foundation in this land at war, plus also to help give senshi braging right to who has the biggest family:-P

[Ronin]

Well for Jahagwa I think the Ikko would be a solid option. We are morere aggresssive and you will most likely get more combat on our side, we require everyone to learn a craft at the beginning, and we are reasonably honorable.

For Raion it depends on your definition of rogues and theives, as we have a Yakuza Branch.

And yuir good luck :P I will keep the bragging rights as long as i can ^_^

[Senshi]

@Joeru, Jahagwa, Raion
Kumamoto always has room for new members. Kumamoto and [Ronin's] Ikko are allies. Kumamoto is more about honor, skill, and trade. Ikko is more about power and combat. Kumamoto is the fastest growing and most active. Ikko is older and is the largest.

If you want to join the Kumamoto, go to the Kumamoto Family (http://www.eoeforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=116) section of the forum, and apply in the Info & Joining Thread (http://www.eoeforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795).

@Ronin
What do you mean by passive?

[blacknebula]

I think he meant more "Passive" in a kickass kinda way. :D

[Ronin]

Well I meant Passive as in you don't try to actively gain land (at least thats what i'm remembering from your description, i could be wrong). And in the Ikko we are also about skill and trade, but we require much less honor and will be decidedly less peaceful. We are currently looking for merchants who wish to join our economy branch as top priority recruits but we still accept most people if they agree to follow the rules we have set and choose a craft.

[Kotsuke]

IGN: (Insert Family Name Here) Kotsuke (or here)
Personality: Friendly and generally social, committed and trustworthy.
Profession(s) in-game: I would really love to train in the ways of the Ninja, assuming i am able to find a dojo, possibly cooking or blacksmith when not tangled in Ninja activities
What I'm looking for in a family: Social, friendly, helpful, resorts to violence when the situation calls for such, and stands behind other members.

[Ronin]

The Ikko would welcome you if you chose to at least postpone your attempt to learn Ninjitsu until after we have gotten a steady base. Finding a Ninja dojo will be too hard to do alone, especially in the beginning when no one is really sure about everything yet, and there is always the problem of bandits and pkers.

Personally i think ninjitsu will be too much trouble for what its worth, but that discussion isn't for this thread.

However, if you want to be stealthy there are always uses for that and you don't even need ot be a ninja.

[Joeru]

Hmm, Ikko or Kumamoto, it's a difficult decision, power is always good, but Ikko have honour... hmm...

[Senshi]

Hmm, Ikko or Kumamoto, it's a difficult decision, power is always good, but Ikko have honour... hmm...

I believe you have gotten that mixed up.
Kumamoto=Honor, Ikko="Requires much less honor" (in the words of Ronin)

[blacknebula]

Yup, Kumamoto is ALL about honor. That is why people tend to believe we are more "Passive" than Ikko.

[Ronin]

Black, people believe the Kumamoto is gonna be more passive than the Ikko because it says so in your family description.

But ya, here at the Ikko we're looser on the whole honor thing, we still require some honor, but just enough that it keeps order and doesn't restrict you.

[blacknebula]

I know I know... :rolleyes: But back to the thread, The Ikko and Kumamoto alliance will be unstopable so either family you join will be fine. As long as is one of the two. :biggthump

[Ronin]

Yep, its a fact. We will rule Tatsu.

[lordtemplar]

To Kotsuke,
If you are interested in a ninja group, then you should join the Sarutobi Ninjas. We are a sub-clan of the Ikko, but we are otherwise very independent.
One of our attributes is that "We are farmers, blacksmiths, merchants, swordsmen, peasants, and nobles during the day; we are the ninja at night."
Unlike many ninja clans, we don't operate in the open, which means that all techniques, information, and missions will be secret. As far as everyone else is concerned, we wouldn't exist. So if you enjoy secrecy, you would like enjoy our clan.
We also have a strong emphasis on group learning. We will have Sarutobi-only dojos and we will have our own techniques that will only be shared between clan members. You may even be the sensei of your own ninja dojo.

-Message me or Ronin so you can register under the Ikko
-Since it's final's time and my friend doesn't have time to finish the website, we don't have an official place to register yet, but you can join Ikko for now if you want to join us

[mmstick]

IGN: The Apocalyptic Samurai
Personality: No known enemies, kind, never gives up, pursues to help others in need, generous, quite, knowledge of many things, love of Japan and games
Profession(s) in-game: Master Samurai, Blacksmith, Skilled Merchants, Farmers wouldn't mind being a mercenary or ronin
What I'm looking for in a family: People who are willing to help others, those in need, poor, weak, defensless, trustable people. People of whom are Thrown out of Society.

[Ronin]

I'm going to ask you to.... be more specific. You listed a large amount of ingame professions, and what do you mean by people thrown out of society? Criminals?

[Senshi]

I second Ronin's post.
Also, IGNs would be Japanese names. (as in names for Japanese people) So, the Apocalyptic Samurai wouldn't work as a name. You could use the word "Mokushi" (黙示) which is Japanese for apocalypse. I think...
So your character's name would be "[insert family name] Mokushi"

[Wyxz]

IGN: Kami Haruki
Personality: I am honest, loyal, calm, friendly and honorable
Profession(s) in-game: I would like to be envoy/messenger that’s represents family and if needed defends family honor in battle.
What I'm looking for in a family: Loyal friends who always will help you. Well this is main criteria :) I would like to join family which draws swords only when there is no other option. :)

[Ronin]

Well, we Ikko will be helping each other out a lot, especially in the beginning, but we are going to be seeking more land.

If you care about the seldom drawing swords thing, then you should join the Kumamoto, our ally.

[blacknebula]

YUP :sleeping1 thats us :lmao: If you would like to join us then go here and apply for our family.

[Kurogo]

IGN: Kyoto-no-Yurei/Kurogo
Personality: Independant, meticulous, and dedicated. I will set goals for myself and work to attain those goals regardless of how hard or how long it might take.
Occupation: Artisan/ninja
Family: Looking for a family that can operate as contacts while I travel the country selling my wares. Will take missions of espionage and sabotage, and assist in assassinations. For those of you familiar with Naruto, think Akatsuchi. Also looking for a partner for a 2 man team.

[hessan]

Kurogo, I would recommend the two most active families, Ikko or Kumamoto. lordtemplar has a post on this thread above about the "Sarutobi Ninjas" he leads, which are a branch family of the Ikko.


EDIT: here is the post he made

[Kurisu]

Have a look at your PM's, you might be interested in the one I'd like to found too.

Ikko and Kumamoto have enough members, I need some too :D

[Jahagwa]

I dont know if im being to serious or not, but i cant decide between the Ikko and the Kumamoto families... Ive been busy lately but i do still visit this site time to time, its like choosing between strawberry soda or a strawberry shake sort of speak, lol.

[Gheari]

Well I shall try to help you with your dilemma. The Ikko are slightly more war based, but need more workers as everyone that comes to us is purely interested in fighting. The Kumamoto are more peaceful, (as of now) more structured and as far as I can tell more strict, however the two clans are allies so you can't really go wrong. Whatever floats your boat buddy.

I'm sure no one will complain too much if you go with one and then jump ship to the other when we get in-game if you don't like the way things are going.

[Gheari]

So long as ye leave all our booty on board.

[Maxin]

I myself am looking greatly foward to this game. Am i'm exited to look for a family to join. Main things i am looking for, are not the best players, but consistant ones. A big problem for me is finding players that will have time and devotion to the group or family in this case. Above all, i demand respect. That is the main aspect i'm looking for in a family. So if anyone is looking for a player like me, PM at any time.

[lordtemplar]

The Ikko clan is always looking for good respectable members, I myself am co-leader of the Sarutobi ninjas (a sub clan of the Ikko) and I believe integrity and respect are priorities of any group. If you are thinking about taking a more stealthy and possibly lucrative path, the Sarutobi clan is always looking for players.

If you prefer a more direct path, you can message Ronin to join the Ikko. There are endless possibilities of what kind of warrior (or craftsman) you can make in the Ikko.

Another good clan is the Kumamoto. Ask any of their members to learn more about them.

[Gheari]

Note that these are the only two established AND active clans at the moment... so you don't really have much of a choice.

[Delerium]

You can make your own clan, there is just not the function on the boards to do so at the moment. That doesn't mean anything. Make whatever you want and try to get interest. As the game gets closer to release, I imagine that there will be many clans to chose from.

[Kurisu]

I wanted to found a family but appearently noone has interest :(

'Nyway, I don't think the forum familything does a lot. Sure, you'd have an own forum but that's about it.

[Delerium]

i guess just work out what you want to do now so you are ready when it happens. People will be interested as it gets closer to launch.

[Kurisu]

Oh well yeah, it's a good idea. I didn't really expect an answer, it was just something to catch pity, y' know :D
Well yeah, I guess I'll write down what I think it will be like. But I think I shouldn't exaggerate it, not many are willing to read 1+page and even less 2+.

[quette4000]

Not to get off subject or anything. If Kumamoto and Ikko are the 2 biggest families, who will be there enemies? Just curious, because it seems like theres going to be quite a few alliances.

[Xemos]

I would like to join a family... Most likely i would be a Carpenter/Fletcher/Woodworker I like building things with wood... :)

My fighting style would be Bojutsu with a little bit of Akido. Naturally, I would be using a Roku Shaku Bo for my weapon.


So any questions or offers?

[hessan]

See the two families mentioned in the post above...

[Ronin]

Quette: Families will come to try to get land, its not like we will control all of japan overnight. Who knows? maybe after we conquer Japan we can have a awesome super war? Man i'd never want to organize a war that big :P

Xemos: As Hessan said, Ikko or Kumamoto.

Quick Summaries of both: Ikko: Military, land, members required to take a craft, less honor needed.

Kumamoto: More passive, will build a city and possibly expand from there, rping, more honor required.

Those are just brief summaries and i cannot vouch for the accuracy of either as i am very tired :P

[quette4000]

Well I can't decide on a Family until I see more from this game. I am very interested in the lore tho. I will keep my eye on this game.

[Sokuku Ishimaru]

Well, i'm back after a long absence, and looking for a Family.


Edit:
Total character rework, may be completely different.

Still looking for Rp Intensive Family. If none is found, I shall found one myself.

[GenghisKhan]

Having been inactive and away from the forums for quite some time, I am trying to find a family once again. I was invited by Mouko to join the Ikko family some time ago, and if that offer still applies to what I intend on doing with my character, I would gladly join the Ikko:

IGN: Takeo Hattori (not sure yet)
Personality: Honest, treasures loyalty to the family above all, and despises treason above all else, only offers friendship to those who have earned it
IG Profession: Assassin, and on a crafting area, Blacksmith
Family: Land Owning Family, that fears no one, and knows how to reward those who are loyal, and punish those who betray their oath.

[Ronin]

We are more than happy to welcome you.

[Gheari]

Can we invade Korea? Or maybe attack Manchuria?

[hessan]

Haha! I'm sure that we'll busy enough just trying to maintain order at least during the land grab that's sure to happen in the first couple weeks.

[Ronin]

well ikko and kumamoto are all planned out already :P although depending on starting places it could change

[Lord Shino of The Katana]

IGN: Shino Uzeakuni ((Not sure but is just starter))
Personality: Kind to His Family, Willing to Negotiate, Will Follow The Way Of the Sword, Loyal, Brave, Can Kill When Needed.
IG Profession:Samurai
Family: Planning To Join A Top-Notch Samurai Family.

[Ronin]

The Ikko is the warring family, the Kumamoto is the peaceful family.

both have opportunities for samurai such as yourself

Both will welcome you

Which will you choose?

[LinuZ_]

IGN: Muto Kenji

Personality: Patient, quick when needed, sneaky - both in-game & "in-head" able to do deals and hoax people, loyal, observant, and last but not least: When I deside to do something-I'll do it.

Profession(s) in-game: In-family profession a spy or an assassin.Outwards a traveling merchant maybe, I like to travel nearly all the time.

What I'm looking for in a family: A family that really is like a familly, family-hierarchy - everyones has a leader (xcept the headleader :P), family-protection, I do not need peace.

[Ronin]

Well the Ikko always has room for another, however we do have requirements for players to join us, and we will need you to not travel too far at least in the beginning.

So, you could join our "Yakuza" branch if you wanted to get into the clandestine work, but I cannot stress enough that if you join a family, especially a land owning family, you should not just leave it to travel. In time, of course, we will expand and travelling will be easier, but at the beginning i think any family you join will require you to help outin the start up.

Check out our family forums for more information.

[Black Echo]

Future In Game Name: Echo
Personality: I love the art of stealth, i sneak up on my friends all of the time in real life :) Im very social, yet prefer to use my quiet and wise words rather than waste my time talking.

@Echo
I'd like something very alike! Can we deside together?

[Black Echo]

sure. maybe we can do some research and create our own family?

[LinuZ_]

sure. maybe we can do some research and create our own family?

Yes! That sounds great! When I get on my computer tomorrow, I'll PM you, and we can have a chat!
By the way, what GMT are you from? About where do you live?

[Black Echo]

i live in EST, -5 hrs from GMT. i live on east coast USA

[LinuZ_]

i live in EST, -5 hrs from GMT. i live on east coast USA

Okey I am from Finland, +2 GMT :D
EDIT: I can't send you a PM, can you check whats wrong please!

[hessan]

Black Echo likely doesn't have enough posts. If I remember correctly PMs are disabled until you hit a certain point to try and cut down on spamming.
