Backgrounds
What is a background?
Your background determines your clan of origin. Your clan grants you many features including proficiencies, jutsu, and special features that originate from your lineage. In terms of narrative and roleplay, your clan is your family. Consider how you relate to your clan. As seen in Naruto, clans differ greatly in terms of their interpersonal relationships and their ties to other clans. Are you a devout member of the main branch family? Have you been shunned by your clan due to a past failure? Do you see others within your clan as rivals or allies?
