| Households Author: Larae | Also referred to as Orders, Households are fraternal or family-like organizations within the vampyre community. These organizations are groups of individuals who share common philosophies, ceremonies, membership requirements, traditions, belief system, sigil, hierarchy and theme. The organization and purpose of each household varies from fraternal to spiritual. There are no requirements for forming a household, however becoming recognized in the community is the challenge, as a reputation, respect and name must be built and earned. Households range in size from as few as three members to as many as a hundred. Some large houses have clutches, which represent a branch of the family tree and are usually organized into inner and outer circles; with the Dedicants, Pledges, Swans, and Affiliates in the Outer Circle, and full members and Elders in the Inner Circle. |
| Hunter Author: Larae | A person, who stalks, threatens or causes harm to those involved in the vampyre community, or to those who they believe are vampires. Hunters are not only conservative Christians; there are others who are self-proclaimed hunters, as their religious systems view vampires as negative or evil. The term Hunter applies to seriously unbalanced people who are on some sort of Holy hate crusade and intend to follow through with violence or action. Hunters do not have to actively attack or physically harm their victims; often the emotional and mental distress of having someone like this hounding you is damaging enough. Hunters may also be those who stalk vampyres in order to gather information on them, presumably with the intent of using this information to bring them harm sometime down the line. |
