Organisation- Ninja Clan

Founder- Unknown to the uninitiated

Leader- Identity unknown

Public Awareness
This secret ninja clan is so mysterious that it is not fully known whether they truly exist. Any clues to their location or identity lead to dead ends and no-one has come forward to claim any knowledge of them.


Those who search for them are treated with the same scepticism as those who follow ghost hunting stories and conspiracy theories.

The purpose of the organisation, if it exists, is unknown to the public.

Insider Knowledge
Members of this secret ninja clan are sworn to keep secret all knowledge of it and all that it represents. Any infraction no matter how small is punishable by death.

The training to become initiated is incredibly taxing and it is not uncommon for many trainees to not survive the training process.

Faces are never revealed and are always hidden behind a hood and a metal mask that covers the lower half of the face. Above the eye hole are two triangular 'peaks', one over each eye, that represent rank. The higher the peak the higher the rank.

The peaks represent an individuals progress in their training and although each peak represents a different aspect of training (one represents the body the other represents the mind) they cannot advance in rank until they reach the same level in both areas. Peaks must rise together.

Masters of the clans training gain a third peak that joins the two peaks together and forms the third peak in the centre of the forehead. This symbolizes that the individual has gone beyond the mind and the body and has reached a state of spiritualness or soulfulness as the third peak represents the spirit or soul.

Apparel
In addition to the mask members of the clan also wear standard black ninja clothing but with some modifications. They wear silver metal shin guards with plates that cover the top of the foot and arm guards with spikes on the back.
The arm guards have been designed so that they can fit different attachments in order to adapt to different situations. Some of the attachments available for the claws include; claws, a 1-shot miniature gun, grapnel gun. shuriken/knife throwing mechanism.

Training
Being modern day ninja they keep to all of the original values and training processes of the original ninja clan. This means that they train in all forms of combat and in the use of all kinds of weapons. Although they prefer not to use guns they learn how to use them anyway. They train in the ways on bomb making, although this is primarily for tactical purposes, as well as training with swords and with knives.

The purpose of the ninja is to be able to adapt to any given situation and that is exactly what they train to do.

No two ninja are alike as each one has their own preferences as to what items to use. Some may prefer knives over swords and others prefer shuriken over the gun.
