What I would do, if I were you, is to set the clan data to be an int and
then use an index to reference the name of the clan. Just like what is done
for class. A person's class is not stored as "cleric" it is stored as "0"
and then you do something like: class_types[GET_CLASS(ch)] to get the word
"cleric".

That will save lots of RAM usage since an int will invariably be smaller
than any decent clan name and it will allow you to have clan names with
spaces in them and such.
