An ancient word from a far away land meaning “one who endures”. A way of life that focuses on survival, first for the clan, then of ones self, “For the tree can not sustain if the roots were to wither. It’s leaves may wilt in the fall, and die in the winter. But, like the roots of a tree, should the members of the clan survive, it will live again in the spring”. Ninja know how to hide both in shadow, and in plain sight. Being seen, yet remaining unseen. They train their bodies and minds to achieve astonishing feats, and endure every imaginable hardship. Train their wits, so they are prepared for anything the world or their enemies might send their way. They know the curiosities of society, relationships, and individual minds and how to use that to their advantage. And master the secrets of nature’s healing powers.

Suggested Characteristics
While individual ninja can be of any personality type, they all tend to value the continued existence of their way of life and traditions. To that end they are willing to bend laws and social mores, and are equally willing to break them if it is the only way to ensure their safety and/or survivability.
