Greetings, everyone! As some of you know, the Mandalorians recently established a Clan System which allows the faction to have its own divisions in which members have more freedom to do as they wish in order to determine what motives and goals they wish to do, or what specialty they wish to have.

The Chiss Ascendency is considering establishing the Clan System as well. People will be able to establish Families, possibly Ruling Families, to bond together. Families will not be restricted to canon Ruling Families; people may create their own families. Focuses, such as espionage, industry, military, diplomacy, etc., may be decided by the Families. Like the Mandalorians, clans will be able to carry weight in the faction, like the Ruling Families have.

Families are not restricted to Chiss characters. People may join the Chiss and create a family, though all families do require approval from either myself or Black Noise. One faction may be created to focus on non-Chiss, so that they can have some weight too.

This thread is to judge interest in this Clan/Family System. If enough support is given, it may be implemented. If enough support is given, Families will be able to have subboards just like the Mandalorians Clans do. Vote here, and if possible, explain why you are in support or oppose. Non-Chiss writers are free to submit their opinions too.

Yes, I think this would work. The Chiss naming system relies heavily on family and caste.

With the adoption clause, one does not necessarily have to change their name to join a Family (more of a recommended, rather than required, in regards to name).

Makes sense. Someone of a lower caste joins up, they change name. Higher to lower, keeps their own.

Wait, if you get adopted does your root name change?

I believe so, but I will leave it to the Family heads on whether they want it changed or allow people to keep their original names.

Well I can make Mar a family since Nuruodo is probably taken

But the root name is derived from the family name as well. Take my character of the Slaatru family. Her root name is Rurean. What would happen if she joined the Mar family? Would she then be known as Marean?

Oh, you meant the core name. I assumed you were referring to "root name" as in the theory that I wrote about how Chiss names were made. In theory, yes the core name does change. However, there does not seem to be any limit to how many families there could be - ruling families have been fairly established in canon, but not birth families.

There doesn't seem to be any opposition to this, so we'll try to implement this within the next couple of weeks. People who want to create (or use a canon) Family, please PM me the details.

The Chiss have revitalized work for the implementation of the Family System. At this current time, there are officially two Families that would have IC and OOC influence, due to submission of a request. They are Arch and Prard. Unofficially, Mar and Derro are as well, and will gain official status once their writeups are complete. Note that people can still submit applications for a Family, even after the Family System is OOCly and officially enacted. At this current time, there is no official application form to fill out; just write up about a Family and PM it to me, Weiss; if people wish for an actual application form, I can create one (which even then would be optional, kind of like the Profile template). I look forward to seeing this implemented. The Family will have a Council of sorts; separate from the Council of Eminence, of course. They'll serve a more legislative role, in a way. Good luck and may people enjoy this.

Also, for an additional announcement, before I required at least 2-3 members in your Family to be approved. I am willing to waive that requirement if the application for the Family is done well and requested with reason.
