+===== Why You Should Play A Member of the Hidden Sun Clan =====
-To start the creating you need to first come up with a name for your character. Take a look at other character names to get an idea for what yours could look like. Read over random words in their language, [[language:takavonai|Takavona]], to get a sense for how their language ought to sound.
+The Clan is a faction with a long history and a developed culture. They are hunters and salvagers who ambush and wound and employ pack tactics as though they still live on the velds of their ancient homeworld. Each member is expected to serve the Clan before themselves, and they believe in reincarnation and that the universe is a conscious deity who judges their lives and determines how they will reincarnate. Be cautious about considering them 'good'; these feline killers find it perfectly acceptable to treat strangers as prey, and they ambush the weak and capture loot and prisoners only to disappear back into their Nebula.

+===== Overview =====
+The Hidden Sun Clan claim a [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:territory|territory]] of space south of [[planet:yamatai]] in the [[places:kikyo_sector]]. For over seven-hundred years they remained hidden from the galaxy at-large, only making themselves known within the last two decades. The Clan is exploring space beyond their home Nebula, settling new colonies and battling space monstrosities and pirates, and joining allies like the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] in combat. Your character serves this Clan in some capacity, and is very likely a member of their spacefaring [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:clan_defense_fleet]]. As you read along, you should create a character sheet at this point, so that you can fill in information as you go.

+Writers who are new to the clan are urged to make a character who is of the [[species:Qaktoro]] species.
-Now that you have your character sheet, you need to decide which of the four species found within the clan you wish to play. The [[species:qaktoro]] are the most common within the clan, followed by the [[species:tula]]. However, you can play any one of the species. Each of the species has specific attributes and expectations. You can use the links to review the different species, once you choose which one you want to play, you may proceed with character creation.

-  * [[species:qaktoro]]

 ==== Physical Attributes ====
-You need to determine the following physical attributes and put them on the character sheet. These will help give you mental image of your character. Are they short and so often feel the need to prove themselves? Or are they at the other end of the spectrum and prefer to intimidate those who are shorter? You can find the information appropriate for your character in the Physiology link below (all four species' information is in on the same page).

+All young members of the Clan learn the tenets of their Code, and are taught that it is good and right to live and die by them. The following are the four tenets of the Code.

 ==== Family ====
-The smallest social group within the //[[faction:hidden_sun_clan]]// is a //[[faction:hidden_sun_clan:family]]//. A Punla consists of the spouses, children, and [[WP>Retainer|retainers]]. The size, composition, and status of the family are all things to consider. If they came from a large wealthy family, your character's view on life would be different than if they came from a small poor family. Think about the family structure, number of adults, siblings, etc. along with what their parents did for an [[faction:hidden_sun_clan:occupations]]. After all, if their parents were gatherers, then they would have been away a lot of the time, so did your character travel with them, or stay home with other relatives?
