So, for example, there's, at any one time, only 20 Clansmen with the bloodname 'Ward' or 'Malthus' or 'Howell', etc, etc. ,etc. It's all very politicalized and bullshitted, as, for a meritocracy, the vast majority of bloodnames are 'given' to those who know how to game the system (Altering BattleROMs, for example) to make themselves look better.<br/><br/>IIRC, there's only been a total of Two Bloodnames given to Freeborn/Bondsmen. Pryde, given to Diana, biological daughter of Aidan Pryde, Jade Falcon Hero of Tukkayid (Aka; the only reason the Falcons eked out a Draw instead of a defeat in detail), and that was only due to the direct intervention of the Khan of the Jade Falcons, Mathe Pryde. The other was Phelan Kell Aka. Phelan Ward / Wolf / Kell (again), an inner sphere barbarian that was made a bondsman, was freed, was made a warrior, was promoted a lot, became SaKhan of the Wolf Clan, and, as of 3058, is Khan of Wolf In Exile, and is living with his dad, Morgan Kell, on Arc-Royal again.<br/><br/>And that's your BT 'future history' splood from me for the week.
