Clan notes

The skydiamond clan is a strange, secretive, semi-normadic clan that lurks somewhere in the sinnoh region... usually in the area near the small islands north-east of iron island.

The clan is known to be secretive, but has customs that are very unusual to lucario clans... most notably their semi-normadic nature, acceptance of non-clan members into clans, leadership by voting, as well as allowing members to get a human trainer. Additionally there's no sex requirement or serious linage requirements for being the Alpha of the clan. About half of all alphas in history of the clan are females. Though this does sometimes present problems when dealing with male-dominated, more traditional lucario clans.... beating the alpha of the opposing clan in a duel is a great way to shut them up.

The clan also does not appear to actively seek out other clans for diplomatic reasons, although they are known to be rather friendly when approached.... their semi-normadic (seemingly random wandering) nature makes locating them for further diplomatic ties rather difficult. The clan seems content in staying obscure and only on very rare occasions does the clan make the first move or step out into the public light... and this only happens before a major demon invasion.

To other clans, this particular clan is somewhat of a legend, being poorly known and being regarded as being very mysterious and secretive... and has somesort of ultra-secret agenda... especially due to the fact they seem to have most of the world well-surveyed for something..... and appear to be unusually well-informed about events in the world for such a reclusive clan.

Even human trainers who DO have the fortune/misfortune of getting a skydiamond clan lucario as a companion are usually not aware of their lucario's clan allegiance... particularly as they don't often display their badges when out of clan territory alone. Many of the times these lucarios take advantage of that to travel and survey the world with their trainer....

Though trainers that engage in demonhunting find skydiamond clan lucarios as the best partner to have.

Skydiamond clan lucarios are also generally (exception being Lucy Hikari) well trained in combat. Ordinary non-combat members are known to be as good as typical lucario clan warrior classes.... Demonhunters are known to possess skill levels beyond most warrior elites. This appears to be largely due to the fact that the majority of the clan appears not to have any more base power than a typical lucario... and considering what horrors they have to fight, the make up for that by having very high level of skill and combat training.

Also they are one of the few lucario clans known to wield aura-enhanced weapons as a standard.

In fact, the most well known part of skydiamond clans amongst others is that they are generally exceptional fighters. Most of the rest is mainly rumour and speculation.

Notes on rank

In the skydiamond clan, all members take a form of a loose "rank" system. This system is strange as it is not absolute as per a typical military pecking order, rather it is an indication of the individual's abilities, specialisation and accomplishments.

Naturally their rank takes on a role of respect rather than superiority.
All clan members start as members or "Greens" as what the clan refers to new recruits.

The majority learn the arts of identifying, tracking and scouting for demons, hosts or such unholy events. They learn the arts of reconnaissance, surveillance and scouting and when qualified, earn the rank of the "Seeker" and title of "Demonseeker". To earn the rank they must complete at least one surveillance mission involving surveillance of a demon.

These then branch out to two paths. If they choose to continue and specialise in tracking, they eventually earn the rank of "Tracker" and title of "Demontracker", and become the best scouts and intelligence agents of the clan... and possibly the world.

Those that tire of scouting specialise in combat and eventually earn the rank of "hunter" and the title of "Demonhunter", becoming fully fledged warriors of the clan. Interestingly enough, becoming a "seeker" is the prerequisite for being a "Hunter" as recon skills are regarded as integral for any of their fully fledged warriors. Another requirement is the completion of a set number of missions or more. Oddly enough slaying a demon is not a prerequisite for this title, as actual intervention is rare and clan rules specifically avoid lethal contact unless absolutely necessary.

Demonhunters who are veterans of several battles, who have lead campaigns and have slain at least two greater demons will earn the rank of "slayer" and title of demonslayer. These are some of the mightiest warriors of the land. In times of peace, Demonslayers are rather uncommon.

An alternative to combat path is the path of the mystic. Members talented in spellcasting or similar aura techniques may specialise instead to become Acolytes. On time and with sufficient training and skills they join the ranks of the mystics of the clan.

A mystic earns the rank of Warpriest when they participate in enough battles and have slain or assisted in the slaying of at least one greater demon. Needless to say, Warpriests are rarer than slayers.

The 202nd Oracle of the clan is a Mystic. Oracles are either Mystics or Warpriests. But vast majority of Oracles are Mystics, even though Oracles are regarded as the highest ranked in that rank pathway.

Alphas may be from any of the 3 rank paths, although most alphas are of slayer rank, there are some that are hunters, mystics, warpriests and even the odd tracker. The role of Alpha is largely decided on leadership ability, voting and combat skill with the katana.
