Sorcerer Family (5e Background)

Sorcerer Family

The represantation of the Sorcerer's families, [1]

Sorcerer Families are clans of jujutsu sorcerers that pass down inherited cursed techniques through generations. These attributes make sorcerer clans prominent figures in the jujutsu world. This is especially true for the Big Three Sorcerer Families who hold the most prestige and influence due to their bloodlines' innate talent for jujutsu. The three great sorcerer families of the jujutsu world are the Zenin Family, the Gojo Family, and the Kamo Family. You have been born into one of the three great sorcerer families, having been raised by them since you were young.

Tool Proficiencies: One artisan's tools of your choice.

Clan

You have been born to one of the sorcerer clans, roll a d3 to choose.

d3	Clan
1	Kamo Clan
2	Gojo Clan
3	Zenin Clan

Kamo Clan Feature: Pure Bloodline

You were born in the family that values it's blood purity, making you learn to avoid the external jujutsu world but also giving you more knowledge about it. You have an easier time searching for or remembering information that involves the history of the jujutsu world, and due to your knowledge and wisdom the higher ups will be more complient to help you.

Gojo Clan Feature: The Strongest Clan

Due to being born in the family were the strongest sorcerers are born, your voice have maximum authority on others. Fellow Sorcerers will listen to your ideas more easily, and will not oppose to most of your actions. You'll also can stop conflicts more easily, since your mere presence already settles things down. However, the higher ups will dislike you despite being willing to hear your ideas.

Zenin Clan Feature: Power Above All Else

You were born in the family where power is the sole thing that defines your value, weakness is seen as shameful and will be ridicularized. You take half the time to learn a new combat skill, be it a spell, fighting style or a cursed technique (Example: While for a normal person learning martial arts would take 2 weeks, you can do it in just one). You will also receive better treatment from your fellow Zenin clan members depending on your power status.

Additionally, a significant portion of the Special Grade Cursed Tools will be in possession of your clan, such as the Split Soul Katana and the Inverted Spear of Heaven.

Depending on the urgency and your status within the clan, you may either acquire them or steal them. These tools are strictly unknown to the rest of the world, and only blood members know where they are stored.

Alternate Feature: Exile

You have been exiled from your clan due to a terrible crime, breaking a rule, or simply because you decided to leave and never come. Whatever were your reasons, one thing is certain, you want nothing to do with your clan anymore. Due to your newfound neutrality since you left your clan, the other clans have become more acceptant of you. You may get information, ask for help, and even trade easier with any clans outside of your own.
