OR they just put 0 influence on it and every thing is fine.

Way of Clan cards are 0 Influence and that make them, as i see, kind of Loyal cards.

If these Characters are from out of Clan, then the Influence mechanic will limit their usage in deckbuilding. Which again, makes sense thematically and mechanically. The Phoenix honoring a Crane Courtier with a Shiba Yojimbo actually happens, but the Phoenix sending all of their Yojimbo to the Crane does not happen.

Indeed, but that isn't what I was asking. I was asking why would it be any more or less likely for conflict character card titles to include family names (since I assume cards retain their clan alignments anyway no matter what deck they are in.)

They could be the equivalent of Followers, so it's possible they could mostly be Ashigaru or Generic Characters.

Well, we have seen one Conflict character with the Vengeful Oathkeeper. It's a samurai and I think it will be a good example of what we'll have.
