Adept:
A vampire so trained and
imprinted
as to be able to tolerate indirect sunlight, human
food, lack of blood for short periods, and mastering human
mannerisms in such a way as to be able to blend with human society
and not be detected.

Adjust hearing:
The ability for a
properly mentored vampire to adjust the acuity of their hearing so
as to hear extremely well in near silent conditions, and also to
reduce hearing sensitivity in noisy conditions. This is necessary
for any successful
Adept
vampire who desires to mix in human
company in cities.

Banque de Lafayette:
Bank owned by
vampire Henri Lafayette of France who is also a judge on
Supreme
Council
.

Blood Fast:
The length of time a
candidate can do without blood. This is best achieved by denying
blood during the imprinting process. It forever makes the candidate
less dependent on blood and more able to tolerate being without it
and able to not lose control when smelling it. The associated pain
when denying one’s self blood during
imprinting
also
enhances the candidate’s ability to tolerate pain. Only
well-imprinted
Adepts
do a blood fast when imprinting. Many
do not even know to imprint that characteristic.

Brought over:
To become a
vampire.

Crossing over:
To become a
vampire.

Edwards and Milliken Bank:
Bank in
London owned in part by Robert Milliken, vampire and judge on
Supreme Council.

Eye lights:
A term used to instruct
candidates who are being brought over to become vampires regarding
the control of the tendencies of vampire eyes to glow when emotions
are stirred, whether passion or anger. A candidate is properly
mentored when he or she is taught to ‘control their
eye
lights’
.

Generational Move:
The period where a
successful Adept vampire changes his identity and home. This can
involve wearing a wig in public if staying in the same country when
in cities they might have lived in before the name change. This is
done to prevent recognition by a human who might have known them
before they changed their name, and to prevent humans from
realizing that they have not aged.

Grover Merchants’ Bank:
Bank in New
York City.

Imprint:
The act of imprinting, or
the sum of the characteristics achieved due to imprinting.

Imprinting:
The three week long
process of body and physiology and mental changes that a vampire
undergoes after being brought over. During this period, permanent
characteristics are forever imprinted on the candidate. Physical
characteristics such as length of hair and nails are permanently
established. Ambidexterity can be easily accomplished during this
period, as well as a tendency to excel at various things whether
linguistics, music, hand to hand combat, weapons mastery, etc. Also
a refinement of touch is far easier to learn at this time, such as
how to handle delicate things without causing damage in spite of
having far greater strength. Even such minor things as how one’s
breath will smell, the length of their hair, how to control the
acuity of their hearing, and control of their tendency for their
eyes to glow are mastered during this three weeks if the candidate
is properly mentored. Vital characteristics such as how long one
can be without blood will be set during this period as well as how
much daylight they can tolerate. This in turn helps the candidate
to be far better able to endure pain of all kinds.

Bank:

Rogues:
Vampires that may or may not
be
Adepts
, but who do feed on humans.

Sensitivity and touch control:
This
training is necessary for well mentored Adept vampires to mix well
in human company. It teaches the vampire to have a delicate touch
and to be able to control their great strength at all times. One
common method of teaching this is to toss eggs back and forth
rapidly without breaking them. This is another vital trait for
vampires who would successfully mix with humans in human
society.

Supreme Council
(or
‘
Council
’): The nine
Adept
vampire judges who hand
down life or death decisions regarding vampires who have done
things causing humans to become knowledgeable regarding vampires
and their existence. This can include death warrants being issued
for humans who will try to make known the existence of
vampires.

Wellington Bank of Commerce:
Bank in
New York City.

Wig Generation:
The twenty years
following a generational move where a wig needs to be worn in
public to avoid humans recognizing the successful vampire from a
time when they had another name and did not wear a wig. Generally
speaking a wig generation occurs when the previous twenty years
involved no wig or disguise, and begins when the vampire begins a
new twenty year residence somewhere unless it is in another part of
the world far from where they were living.
