I'm trying to get together some friends for an ATOW campaign. Initial setting is 3050s, and the focus will be the secret struggles between the Warrior caste and other castes (specifically Scientists, as a precursor to the Society/Reaving), but I'm considering going earlier. I could see a Golden Century or even immediately before Revival as good settings. I've even thought of the Burrock absorption as an interesting time. The asterisks mark Clans that are gone before or close to Revival.
Their collective lore knowledge is nonexistent. The campaign would be set in and around the Clan Homeworlds, with their characters being Clan members. Instead of limiting them, I want them to have the opportunity to choose different Clans, but I'm looking for "elevator pitches" for each Clan. So far, I'm trying to find 3-7 words to describe each Clan.
Blood Spirit- isolated, self-righteous, skeptical, independent
Burrock*- forgiving, secretive,
Cloud Cobra- religious, outgoing, righteous, cooperative
Coyote- mystical, crafty, secretive
Diamond Shark- mercantile, open, progressive,
Fire Mandrill- excitable, aggressive, fractitious, hostile
Ghost Bear- patient, family-focused
Goliath Scorpion- inquisitive, wanderlust, sentimental, drug use
Hell’s Horses- strong, teamwork, determined, infantry, tanks, straightforward
Ice Hellion- erratic, active, mercurial, aggressive
Jade Falcon- Honor-driven, “something to prove,” traditionalists
Mongoose*- political, scheming, harassing
Nova Cat- mystical, conscientious, spiritual
Smoke Jaguar- violent, brutal, improvisational, vain, severe, traumatized
Snow Raven- political, thoughtful, planning, aerospace
Star Adder- patient, independent, practical
Steel Viper- unyielding, hard, strict, impersonal
Widowmaker*- cruel, clever, chaotic,
Wolf- Accomplished, noble
Wolverine*- principled, self-centered
Any input? Have ideas of your own? I'm seeing that each Clan has been carefully written to be both good and bad (with the exception of Mongoose and Widowmaker, who don't have much clear and available information).
