Any issues must be first addressed by immediate Clan Leaders,
then to the Coven Leaders if deemed necessary. Anyone not following this chain of command
will be referred back to the Clan Leader.

The Nosferatu Coven are a Combat Role Playing Family
and as such have rules
and guidelines for all members to abide by.

The first rule is REAL LIFE FIRST!

The rules are in 2 parts; Coven rules and Role Playing Guidelines.

The Coven rules refer to joining the family, tagging and such where
as the role playing guidelines are about how we play within the family.

Please note these are separate to KS rules and these guidelines are for within family only.

Each clan has a Chosen Son and/or a Chosen Daughter
who will receive leadership training
and will assist in leading their Clan as and when necessary.

Only Kings/Queens and higher can sire and pass on the Nosferatu Bloodline.

Kings/Queens and above
are responsible for tagging new members.
Once a potential member has been introduced to the family,
they will then wait a minimum of 3 days before they are offered
a place in the family. During that time, they will be referred to an Envoy who will share family information.
The Envoys works for the whole family not for a particular clan.
Potential slaves must additionally be interviewed by a Slave Trainer
who will make sure they are entering the family at the correct level
(submissive or slave) and that they understand the training they will be required to follow
(see Slave Guidelines for further details).

New members will be tagged as Sir or Lady (or sub/slave)
and tagged in any clan.
They will complete a 2 week trial during which time they will
get to know everyone
and be able to choose a different clan if they wish.
On siring they will become Baron/Baroness.
Sometimes new members may be sired straight to
a higher role such as IG or KotB
if they have shown an aptitude in this area and have had approved trained for it.

Clan Leaders MUST inform Coven Leaders of new recruits
(and in particular Elder_Kika_GNC)
and to introduce new recruits to family chat in world, via the profile
e-mail and/or on Skype.

No double tags. If a person wishes to marry, they must seek the Coven Leaders permission
and there must be a minimum of one month engagement before a wedding takes place.
If a person marries within the Coven, they may take either tag;
if a person marries from outside of the Coven they may keep their Nosferatu tag.
The Coven leaders will not sanction a request if such a marriage would
conflict with the Nosferatu life and values.

All Members are asked to log into the family channel in world (this is regularly changed)
which is meant as a place to share news and updates.

Clan Leaders Meeting will be held on alternative Sundays at 1pm EST.
If a Clan Leader cannot attend they may send a representative.
NO PETS or SLAVES.

The General Coven Meetings are Private and to be attended by members and slaves ONLY.
Sired members are the only ones with the right to vote.
These are held when deemed appropriate by the Coven Leaders however
Clans are expected to hold their own regular meetings and pass on concerns at the Clan Leader meetings.

Clan members may take on other work within RLC such as dancing,
DJing or as WGs however they may not double tag. Members must make sure their Clan Leaders
are aware of other commitments. Where possible members should still endeavour to attend family events.

When a member leaves the family, it is done politely,
with grace and dignity.
Coven Leaders must be informed.

Please read the Role Playing Guidelines for more information on this.

All members are expected to act respectfully and with dignity.
To this end we ask that members avoid making
negative bulletins at all costs.
Do not respond to bulletins about our families
without Leaders ' permission.
This Coven WILL NOT stoop to the level some do.

If a member wishes to switch clans, they may apply to their
Clan Leader who will seek approval from the Coven Leaders.
Members will only be granted this once. However, if a new clan is formed,
members will be permitted to apply to change clans.

 

If a person wishes to marry, they must seek the Coven Leaders permission and there must be a minimum of one month engagement before a wedding takes place. If a person marries within the Coven, they may take either tag; if a person marries from outside of the Coven they may keep their Nosferatu tag. The Coven leaders will not sanction a request if such a marriage would conflict with the Nosferatu life and values.


Slaves may be recruited to any clan and will have a
2 week trial as either
A slave or a sub must be tag with the slave or sub title
in small caps letters; for example: slv_name_?NC or sub_name_?NC.
If in doubt, please contact a Coven Leader for guidance on this matter.
After training , a slave may be collared and become a personal pet
or remain as a slave. Slaves may progress to Alpha Slave.
There is a Nosferatu_slaves (http://www.utherverse.com/Nosferatu_slaves)
profile which gives more rules and guidelines regarding slaves.

No , one in any Clan , will not have anyone in any Clan on there ,
Ignores / Iggy - list -- EVER ...

Complaints against Coven/Clan members may be brought to the attention of their Clan Leader
ANY complaints MUST and are REQUIRED to be backed up by a Screen Shot. Heresay, i.e.
