I've yet to work up the courage to /actually/ RP (I'm such a wuss! ), but I'd like to have some history to work with once I get the ball rolling.
Do you mean join our K tribe as an immigrant member from another sub-clan? If so, I'm sure there are ways to work you in! One of our members is actually "adoptive" in that sense, as her K sub-tribe was decimated by an Amaljaa attack, so when our K tribe found her, we took her in.
A bit more on-topic: This reminds me I need to go through the Hipparion wiki and make sure everything is kosher. Certain bits of our lore have adapted over the months of RPing as we come up with better ideas.
I really meant if I were already a main clan member, but I'm just not listed as such currently as she has no background/story written yet? It's hard to describe. Though as you've said, there could be alternate methods of entry to the clan, such as "adoption".
That being said, I'm just testing the waters for the backstory/current life of her. So any opinions on these matters are good.
On topic question: Are "adoptions" common, and if so, do they also adopt the clan name? Would "Y'shtola" turn into "K'shtola"?
I can see a few reasons a clan might lose members rapidly, so it doesn't seem like such an odd idea overall. That being said, rivalries or things such as lack of food would prevent clans from adopting outsiders I would suspect.
