Families:
People from the Tokugawa family are always to be respected, no matter their rank.
Vessal families are always open, Bushi from a family do not have to follow orders from anyone below the rank of Sotaisho when their own leaders are online. A vessal family is easier to rank up into, but when you leave that family, you go back to peasant instantly. Family leaders can take orders only from the Kijin. A Family leaders command goes over the command of any officer below the Kijin.
To start a vessal family you need to have official permission from the Daimyo himself.
