Clan

Clans are associations of individuals in the K series. Different clans have different codes of conduct. For example, SCEPTER4 is a police force that fights for justice, while Homura carries itself in a way that is similar to that of a street gang.

Membership
To symbolize which clan a person belongs to, when the entrance exam is passed, the associated King brands the new member with a mark of said clan anywhere on their body, making them an official member.

Hierarchy
Each clan is headed by a King, a powerful individual who exerts authority over other clan mates. Each clan member swears loyalty to the King as well as to the other members of the clan, who in turn take care of one another as allies.

Kings
The Kings seem to each be given a specific number. If this is a ranking on their strength or just the order in which they became Kings is yet to be revealed. It is shown that not all the Kings are at war with each other, as Adolf and Daikaku were having a normal conversation with no hatred towards each other. Daikaku has stated that the country will be destroyed by this war between the Clans.

Aura
The members of each clan have been seen to use Aura, a powerful force enabling the user to use a variety of offensive and defensive techniques. The color of the aura emitted, as well as its associated element, varies from clan to clan.
