employment (but only while they are working not just hanging out ).

"Only those with the gift given by Lachiel; who adheres to the laws and rules set forth by the council of clans shall be present in officially sanctioned Progeny events. Furthermore those who have been slain by any means, have neglected to feed and went into coma, as well as those who have been placed in hibernation shall not be permitted to attend functions or meetings as well."
"Simply put, it will keep in tradition to what with Lachiel has posted before((about the slain, coma and hibernated is the rule he stated)), make sure outcasts and rogues are not permitted, and keep it a strictly vampire affair, which is what it should be in the first place." ________________________________________ Yea 6 - Nay 2 - Abstain 1 Voters: Cammy, Very Sinister, Suraya, Neuntoter Davidov, Raine Mapholisto, Rade, Tirris Inferni, ZoeBlue Braveheart, Mel
