Training Resources

To embrace a mortal, the Sire must drain them to exactly 2.5 litres of blood — the threshold between life and death. The Sire must carry a full 5 litres and sufficient Potency. Upon completing the transfer, the mortal dies and rises as a vampire. The newly Embraced receives their HUD and Fangs free of cost.

Generation is your distance from your bloodline’s Arch Vampire. Arch Vampires are Generation 0; their direct progeny are Gen 1, the next level Gen 2, and so on.

• Deliver the HUD & Fangs — walk them through attaching and using both immediately.
• Explain the Self Scan: Status, Bloodline, Generation, Age, Sire, Potency, Blood, and Compulsion / Willpower.
• Teach the three Bite Modes: Gentle (slow, minimal spillage), Normal (balanced), Ravage (fast, maximum drain).
• Explain Subsistence and Coma risk — blood depletes nightly; falling to zero triggers Coma.
• Introduce all three articles of the Veil Covenant.

• Introduce your bloodline hierarchy — Arch Vampire, Blood Regent, Arch Advisor — and your clan & house structure.
• Explain the political factions: RAF, Traditionalists, and Arch Cabalists.
• Cover key GCSC laws — especially Fledgling protection (Law 8), bloodline war rules (Law 2), and the ban on charging for Embraces (Law 11).
• Show them the Progeny Mall, Blood Bank, and any clan or bloodline spaces.

• Blood Bank strategy: deposit 5L regularly as insurance against unexpected Coma.
• Hibernation Kiosk: No Aging (100L in / 50L out) vs. With Aging (1,000L in / 50L out). You can still be bitten while hibernating.
• Status recovery chain: Undead → Coma → Slain. 30 nights in Coma before lapsing to Slain; Slain auto-recovers with escalating cycles (10, 20, 40, 80 nights).
• Help them set long-term goals: reaching a new age tier, earning a rank, siring their own progeny.
• At 30 nights, celebrate — your Fledgling is an emerging vampire.

Your lifeforce, measured in litres. Blood drops nightly at roughly midnight SLT and is also lost when bitten by another vampire. Feed daily to stay healthy. At zero, you enter Coma.

Accumulates naturally over time. Consumed when you Embrace new progeny or revive fallen vampires at the Revival Altar. Lost entirely if you are Slain.

Every vampire slides between Willpower (+3.00) and Compulsion (−3.00). Newly Embraced start at −3.00, governed almost entirely by hunger. Willpower climbs naturally as you age — no shortcuts.

Undead → Coma (blood = 0, needs revival) → Slain (30 nights in Coma or combat defeat, all Potency lost). Slain auto-recovers with escalating cycles.
