An outcast vampire suffers an additional 0.25l/day of subsistence, and has no direct contact with The Source and limited assistance from the Grave Designs support team. Outcast vampires do not need to abide by the Vampire Society laws passed by the Grand Council, but also have no protection (other than their wits) against attack from other vampires.

Potency

Potency is an abstract term for the measurement of power in a vampires blood stream. Potency is generated naturally over time. The older the vampire is, the faster they generate potency. Potency is the property of the blood that allows it to impart vampirism during the siring process.

In Game Terms; potency is a system that prevents abuse of the free nature of the system, by restricting how quickly one can create progeny, especially at early stages. This in turn adds value to the gift of vampirism as sires tend to be far more picky with whom they choose to spend their potency on.

Potency, Apparatus

The device used when an individual wish to store their accumulated Potency into a Crystal.

Potency, Crystal

The item with which an individual can store their accumulated Potency into. Crystals will be marked with the name and date of the individual whose Potency is stored in it. Consuming, or taking, the Potency removes the existence of the Crystal and leaves only the egg it was held in.

2. A member of Progeny, as they’re embraced under a Sire, they’d be the Sire’s Progeny.

Proxy

A Clan officer or the third in charge of a clan.

Quick

AKA Human or mortal. Any avatar who is not a member of the Progeny system, they are humans and the source for blood, a vampire’s sustenance to avoid from having Subsistence bring them down into a Coma. Humans are referred to as Quicks because to the immortal vampires their little human lives pass so quickly. Quicks are looked upon as food, by the long lived races of the Progeny system. Also note their Health can lead to Quite Dead which turns a Quick into a Shade.

Recovery Cycle, Coma

This is a naturally occurring process for vampires, over time a slain vampire will recover to coma state where they can be revived with the aid of another vampire. This state lasts for a short period before the vampire cycles back into the slain state. The time it takes to recover increases each time the vampire transitions into slain from coma without being revived.

Recovery Cycle, status

To see where you are in the cycle, lay on a revival altar. It will tell you how many days have to pass before you are next in a coma state. In the event that the estimated time is too long to be desirable, a Vampire Restoration Potion (VRD) can be purchased and consumed to effect instant recovery.

Re-Liege

To change the one you you have sworn your loyalty to.

Renegade

Status applied to a Clan under the following conditions:

1. Denouncement of GCSC authority and laws

Restoration

Under certain special circumstances, the Source may enact a ritual to bring a slain vampire back to un-dead status w/o the intersession of recovery time or revival altars.

Restoration Potion

A potion consumed by a slain vampire to return instantly to an un-dead state. This magic is not without cost to the vampire’s well being and will cause the vampire to require more blood to survive than prior to the ingestion of the potion.

Resurrection, Clean

If a vampire has not created progeny during it’s time as an un-dead, then it is resurrected cleanly, leaving little or no trace of its presence in the world of the un-dead.

Resurrection, Purge

If all the progeny of a resurrected vampire also become resurrected, the corpus shadow of all disintegrate and the chain become “clean”. This has only happened a few times in history but is, nonetheless, possible. Legend has it that once an entire blood line was purged. This may or may not be true. But the fact is, if a vampire and all their progeny are resurrected no corpus shadow remains after the last of the Progeny is resurrected.

Resurrection, Tainted

If a vampire has created Progeny, that vampire cannot be cleanly resurrected. A shadow of the resurrected vampire’s corpus remains. The resurrected vampire’s progeny remains sired by its Corpus Shadow. And its minions become the minions of its own sire. The sire of the resurrected vampire still feels the potency weight of the previous embrace and shows to be the Sire of the corpus shadow.

Resurrection

A very rare act of Source Intervention that “cures” a vampire returning them to life as a human.

Revival Altar

A ceremonial platform that has the ability to revive a vampire from a coma state with help from another vampire willing to donate potency for this purpose. The altar is also a way to get a new or replacement HUD.

Revive

To be returned to un-dead from a coma state.

Rogue House

A Rogue House is a house that is formed when 25 Outcast Vampires decide to band to gather. Rogue Houses do not need to follow the rules of vampire society.

Scrutinize

Also referred to as scanning. Scrutinizing allows you to check the status of avatars near you to see if they are edible or another vampire.

When a vampire consumes too much of an individual’s blood, they fall into the Shade status. Biting from a Shade will result in vomiting blood and losing it, as it is consumption of “Dead Man’s Blood”.

Sire

Being embraced into Progeny requires someone providing the Gift of The Source, vampirism. In doing so, they become an individual’s Sire. Re-Siring is to take

Slain

Status that occurs when an individual is killed by another Vampire or if they persist in Coma status, leading to this.

Slayer

Humans who will take up arms and be combat-oriented in pursuit of standing against the infernal blights that are Vampires and Lycans. They will be HUD-supported in the future.

Source Ichor

Extremely rare, to say the least. The Source Ichor is vintage bottles of Lachiel’s blood, with which the consumption of in sips, or entirely in one go, will yield statistically various results ranging from boosts in Age, drop in Subsistence to even the sliver of a chance of producing a new Arch Vampire.

The Source

The Source is the progenitor of all Vampires. Known as Lachiel, what little is known is that he is a fallen angel who primarily resides in the depths of Hell.

Sovereign

The authoritative leader of a Clan, they dictate who’s to be their subordinate Clan Officers and have final say in Clan-level actions and decisions.

AKA “VRD”, the Vampire Restoration Draught exists as an immediate solution to bring a Vampire out of Slain status at the cost of a permanent .020 addition to Subsistence.
