Hmmmm, would it be possible to become a "freind of the Shuuhei"? My character wold never join you (as you noticed I think xq) he is too attached to his freedom, but he would always be there to help, or to aid the Shuuhei! Or even do little jobs you might need to be accomplished, but that are not conform wiht your rules (:o). Or just be a kind of helper, who supports the clan, but is not in it. :)
Also, my char might have been awful to your earlier today, but It was for a reason, nd I'm going to change that :)
