The time was early 1900's, and the Old West was slowly dying. The United States dreamed of stretching from sea to sea, and they have successfully done so. Along with the territory, businesses began to sprout everywhere. On the other side of the Rio Grande, Mexico is on the brink of a civil war themselves. On both areas of the world, bandits still terrorize the weak, while the natives of the area are either being assimilated or having their final struggles against the Americans. At least, that's what history tells us.
The setting of the clan is not in the past, but greatly based from it. The old days of the West return. All four realms are at its prime, along with powerful Pokemon to back them up. This is the time of war, and also the time when an individual rises up the ranks, hoping for his/her name to become immortal. .
Welcome to Manifest Destiny, a clan focused on helping one achieve individual greatness!
Spoiler:- About the Clan:
The Clan is led by four leaders, who all have unique jobs of their own.
Extroph is in charge of the main post and the Nature's Natives Division TrainerChris is in charge of the Militar de Mexico Division and the War Team imperiumemperor is in charge of the Federal Force Division DarkCharizard2 is in charge of the Bandit Berserkers Division
In Manifest Destiny, there are a few rules and guidelines that must be followed. Follow them at all times and try to be civilized men and women.
- Follow Sppf Rules
- Respect the leaders and more importantly, other members
- Avoid flaming in this thread, the xat, and in any clan wars the clan partakes in. MD members who flame during wars will be punished.
- Have fun!
Spoiler:- Punishments:
A leader will contact you when they catch you breaking a rule. The first few contacts will be warnings, but after three warnings, you will be banned from this clan. Any posts after being banned will be reported. All Rules apply for punishments, except having fun (but why wouldn't you have fun?).
A member must strive to be famous in the Old West, making a name for him/herself. You can be famous for your strong Pokemon, your skill with guns, your good looks, your talent, etc.

Once in a while, there will be group tournaments, such as 3-person teams, 2-person teams, or even 2 teams against one another (like a mini clan war.) Extroph chooses the teams and the team names, and will always be in charge with these tournaments.
Spoiler:- About Gold Rush:
Once in a while, when there is not much activity, Extroph will post a Gold Rush challenge with a time interval on when it can be finished. Whoever finishes these challenges in the time interval will receive Fame that will be listed beforehand. For example, Extroph can post a challenge to win a battle with a set team, between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm on a saturday. People must finish this challenge between that time interval to win the Fame.

~~:||Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.||:~~
Welcome to the Federal Force division. Here you will train with your Pokemon to become good, law-abiding citizens, citizens who hunt down criminals that
is. In this great nation of ours, we can't afford to raise crime like livestock. That's where people like you and me come in. We will rid the West of these
lowlife criminals, along with hostile enemies such as the natives. The Mexican Army is weakened by a new revolution, so now is the best time to work
with the winning side for the benefit of the United States. We now stretch from sea to sea, the only thing to do now is keep it that way.
A speech from our President, titled "America's Century":
Spoiler:- Speech:
This is America's Century--the same wind that carried us towards our Manifest Destiny is now carrying the seeds for our Empire. The Civil War is over, the South conquered. The Gilded Age has left our nation rich and strong; and our businesses our taking the world by storm. The United States has successfully freed Cuba from that ancient tyrant Spain; and our great nation now spans 10,000 miles from tip to tip. Now, my friends, is the time to take care of matters closer to home. Our country--this great Republic--means nothing unless it means the triumph of democracy and western civilization. Bandits still roam our Western lands, and pose a threat to our interstate trade. Them Indians are still a scourge to our country--we have yet to assimilate them to our great society. The Mexicans below us look like they might be having their hands full with yet another revolution. We must tread carefully and side with the winning faction, lest we risk a hostile, reactionary neighbor to the South.
These are the times that will go down the pages of history....the time for destiny has come....this is America's Century!!
There are a few in-realm rules that needs to be followed if you are to be part of the Federal Force:
-- Follow General Clan Rules
-- Respect other leaders, not just Imperiumemperor
-- Never flame members from other realms about their realm
The leader of Federal Force
Imperiumemperor
~ An elected officer in a county who is responsible for keeping the peace.~
You are the official peacemaker of a county. Your great skill and experience placed you in this rank, and it is now your responsibility to keep all people in your area safe.
Spoiler:- Members:
--
~A peace officer subordinate to a sheriff. ~
You are very close to becoming a sheriff, but first, you must work under one. Being a deputy is a very important job, and you will face many dangerous situations.
390 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:
--
~ One hired to fight for or protect another. ~
Although not as an official federal officer, your skills have definitely been noticed. The government wants you more on their team than against them, and they hired you to do what you do best.
290 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:
--
~ A person who is admired for courage or noble qualities. ~
You're becoming more famous for your heroic acts. Whether they are for money or you're just an angel, the people of the land see your acts as a new hope to control the rising crime rate.
200 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:
--
~ A person who brings about peace, esp. by reconciling adversaries. ~
Although you are known mostly for your skills in talking, it is still fame nonetheless. You are an idol for other people, and your kindness towards friends and hatred towards enemies can be widely seen as the typical Good Samaritan.

You are a desperado, a lone cowboy. You choose your own fate, and you go wherever life takes you.

~~:||Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.||:~~
Welcome to the Nature's Natives Realm. We used to be peaceful men, respecting the gifts of nature, taking only what we get and never asking for more.
But it all changed many generations ago, when the first Europeans came to our land, dividing it into territories, driving our people away. As years passed,
the number of these men grew larger, and stronger, with new technology that outmatched our old ways. But with the size of their territory, they cannot
protect all of their cities and towns at once. We are few, so we will use that advantage to weaken every part of their nation, one by one. Our men are both
traditional and modernized, both skilled with horses and guns. And more importantly, we have the power of the Grass type with us. Our Chieftain is
Extroph, and he will lead our people to victory!
There are a few in-realm rules that needs to be followed if you are to be part of Nature's Natives:
-- Follow General Clan Rules
-- Respect other leaders, not just Extroph
-- Never flame members from other realms about their realm

Every veteran is a hero. -Joe Walsh
You've survived an enormous amount of battles, raids, and ambushes. You've been face to face with death many times, yet you are brought back to earth to help your realm. Battle scars and a respected name clearly shows your rank.

Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior. -Karl Von Clausewitz
You are now qualified to be a warrior. As a villager, you've looked up to warriors who fought for the realm. Now, as a warrior yourself, it is now your duty to be one of the many who sacrifice the chance of death every day for the victory of our realm as a whole.
290 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:

A Scout is never taken by surprise; he knows exactly what to do when anything unexpected happens. -Robert Baden-Powell
As a scout, your duty is to infiltrate enemy lines, and partake in raids and ambushes. You are trained greatly about surviving in the wild by yourself with very limited supplies.
200 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:

Every villager that hopes to become great must start somewhere.
The first step has been taken, you are in the process of becoming a representative of your realm. Although you are still a beginner, your individual skill must shine greater than your rank.

~~:||Behind every great fortune lies a great crime. ||:~~
Welcome to the Bandit Berserkers Division. We live by simple rules. To look over one another, and to take anything we want! The only limit is
how much money we can hold. Of course, it's no easy task to stay hidden, but we can utilize fear to get what we want. Unlike those who live
under laws, we can play rough, wage total war against our enemies. We will do what it takes to be victorious, to be rich, and to be feared!
There are a few in-realm rules that needs to be followed if you are to be part of Bandit Berserkers:
-- Follow General Clan Rules
-- Respect other leaders, not just DarkCharizard2
-- Never flame members from other realms about their realm
The leader of Bandit Berserkers
DarkCharizard2 - 29 Authority
Fear is your weapon. Your name is their bane. People call you a force of nature. Your wealth is enough to buy anything. As the highest ranking member other than the leader, you are greatly respected by your peers and feared by other divisions.
500 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:

People call you a punisher of those who sin. The truth is, however, that you only do these crimes for personal gain. Sky is the limit for what you are capable of doing, no law can stop you now!
390 Fame
Spoiler:- Members:
cooloolcool - 303 Fame
Being capable of killing someone in cold blood is no easy feat, yet you do it on a regular basis. No rank, authority, or money can stop you, your gun, or your Pokemon.

A train is not easy to rob, but with the help of a posse, it's a walk in the park. Many train riders hold lots of cash, or jewelry.

Stealing cattle is good business, because it's very easy to scare a rancher. But beware of ranchers with experience in shooting, you might get yourself killed.

~~:||Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.||:~~
Welcome to the Mexican Army. Here you will learn the principles of discipline, and how important it is to keep the Army going. Small rebel groups are beginning to rise throughout our nation; their leaders giving false promises and a fake sense of security to the poor. The Army is needed to put an end to this nonsense, to take down these rebels, and to restore the Mexico everyone once knew. But, this will not end if we are too lenient towards American bandits entering our great country. We must also strengthen our foothold in the Americas, never letting the USA push us around. All these tasks sound impossible unless we have a strong backbone for our Army. ĄViva México; Viva el Militar de México!
There are a few in-realm rules that needs to be followed if you are to be part of Militar de Mexico:
-- Follow General Clan Rules
-- Respect other leaders, not just TrainerChris
-- Never flame members from other realms about their realm
-Extroph for doing the writing for the Clan Intros and being in charge of main post
-Chris for helping Ex with the clan and being a founding member and being in charge of the War Team
-DarkCharizard2 for sticking with the gang and being a founding member and being in charge of the Bandits
