 Another aspect of character creation is clans.  You can choose to belong to a clan straightaway, and build your character to suit that clans needs.  The other option is be clanless for awhile, then choose later one based on RP reasons, or simply wishing to be part of a clan.  You can drop a clan at anytime, and join one as well.  More detail can be found on the [[clan]] wiki page.
