Role-playing

Role-playing Clans are clans that are based around a theme, storyline, book, etc.

Example: A clan based off on Naruto where all the ranks, events, jobs, and all that stuff is based off of Naruto

Role-playing Clans have all of the normal clan features (events, ranks, stuff like that). But, the theme element that the clan members put into the clan can make it a bit more fun than just randomly going on events with no particular purpose. They often make challenge events that have to do with the chosen theme. Challenge events can be anything from dueling another clan member (somehow fitting into a clan storyline), collecting items, etc.

I, personally, have been in a clan based on the Ranger's Apprentice book series. the clan has different groups of players for all of the towns in the book, has some people play certain characters in the book, and had ranks with challenges that matched the book's theme.

So, role-playing clans can be based on anything and can every fun to be a part of!
