Belonging to a Cell, Clan or Tribe is not mandatory but encouraged

Registered individuals, who do not belong to a Cell by choice or otherwise, can participate in events as individuals unless the event is Cell, Clan or Tribe specific, in which case, they may declare themselves “Ronin” and offer their services to the Cell, Clan or Tribe.
