LION CITY CLANS: THE 36 CHAMBERS
Born and bred under absolute autocracy, clans of the City of Lions practice their craft through the years under a shroud of secrecy and constant suppression. Battles blazed through the years, hidden amongst shadows, the sanctity of the silence broken by the sudden spurts of spheres clanging around the shell of a metal can and the innate resonance of pressurized paint escaping its valve. Urban lords and kings claimed their dominions over the streets; attaining kinship over the pugilistic aerosol warriors of their clans.
The fallen, countless in their numbers, weakened in their resolve not in the pursuit of their craft, but to the unattainable path of false idolhood and kingships. Divisions and discord sowed its seeds among these warriors but alas, only the strong shall survive and only the strong has survived the trials and tribulations of their craft. Getting up under the allegiance of the banners once again, the clans unite under the banner of the City of Lions, 36 warriors in their numbers, bearing oaths of their clans but each personifying their 36 styles through their 36 minds evoking the perfection of the 36 Chambers. Styles will clash through the unison of their chosen armaments for today the can will be king, for today THE CAN WILL BE MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.
