:ph34r: someone told me that there are laws that turned
vampires hav-ta fallow...like u can only feed on donors
and familiars..and u cant go into someones house without
being invited and oce u take a master vampires blood to
turn u gotta be appart of their family forever....
..and stuff..is that true?
just wondering if there is more laws.

"cant go into a house without being invited". Thats bull, its from the original "Dracula" book by Brahm Stoker.

hmmm ok..then what about the other 2?

None of its true. Trust me on this one.

The only laws I know of aren't so much laws but just an extension of what a few idealists would like vampires to be . .

1. Be just always. Never hesitate to be swift with knowledge if not kindness.

2. Honor your name and your blood line without fail.

And there are more but I can't get into it as I'd like now but I hope you see the general idea that its going in.

The one's that you listed are from modern day writers and corrupted mythology. (no offense)

I haven't heard of any other than in ficticious books.
Follow your morals.
or try to weigh the possible outcomes good to bad. that is the only law I follow... My own

I suppose it would all depend on which beliefs you choose to follow. For example, another member of the forum posted info on the "official vampire religion" called The Temple, and it listed several rules/laws to abide by, and then there's laws layed down by the individual themselves, and I'm sure many of these 'laws' were taken from fiction books or movies.

I don't think there is really any set-in-stone rules about vampires in general, it kind of depends on if you are part of a particular group or belief. That's my opinion anyways, make sure to let me know if anyone disagrees.

well i dont believe any of it..really..i was just
wondering the person who told me was a bunch of
bullshit or not.
and if not..then it got my courosity to know more,
about there laws..u know.. :fpope: heh.

I don't thinkt hat if there were general rules to being a vamp that they woudl be alot different form those of the wicca followers

i dont know

Well I would supose that depends on your views of laws, after all, most creatures are bound to some sort of honor code however decrepit and misguided it may be...well thats just my thoughts anyway..

Well I hope that helps; it is a thread on the Black Veil (a code of ethics if you will)

^The Black veil by the Strigoii vii lists 13 'guidelines' which most vampires find wise to abide by..im surprised that no-one mentioned them before

really there are no laws but the one thing that is true is you cant enter a persons home without being invited if the current owner is home. and a simple cry for help can be an invite but you have to actually try helping because a force will kick you out. once yourinvited you cant be uninvited unless someone else buys the house.
i know all of this from experiance so trust me. as for the other laws they are all bull you can feed from whom ever you wish as long as they arent a priest or minister or something like that something in theyre blood just taste relly bad.

I think the reason that no one mentioned them was either because they didn't know that it existed or because these laws require a voluntary oath and are not a "must" upon being a vampire.

In Louisiana you can not ingest blood. I'm sure other states have something like this as well. While not a law specifically for vampyres it is against drinking blood.

Speaking of the Black Veil here are its code/laws...

I. DISCRETION Respect yourself and present yourself so that others also respect you. Take care in who you reveal yourself to. Explain what you are, not to shock, but to teach and to inform. Do not flaunt what you are, and know that whether you want them to or not, your actions will reflect upon the rest of the community. Share your nature only with those with the wisdom to understand and accept it, and learn to recognize these people.

II. DIVERSITY Among us, there are many different practices and many points of view. No single one of us has all the answers to who and what we are. Respect each person's individual choices and beliefs. Learn about them and share what you know. Our diversity is our strength, and we should not allow misunderstanding to weaken our community. Find the path that is right for you and uphold this freedom for others.

III. CONTROL Do not allow your darkness to consume you. You are more than just your hunger, and you can exercise conscious control. Do not be reckless. Always act with a mind toward safety. Never feed because you think this makes you powerful; feed because this is what you must do. Be true to your nature, but never use it as an excuse to endanger those around you.

IV. ELDERS Give respect to those who have earned it. Anyone can claim a title, but a true leader will prove him or herself through dedication, hard work, and great deeds. Even so, leaders should be guides and not dictators. Look to them as examples, but always decide for yourself what you must do. Respect the person, not the position, and understand that your choices are always your own.

V. BEHAVIOR Know that there are repercussions to every action, and that you alone are responsible for your decisions. Educate yourself about risky behaviours, then always act with wisdom and common sense. Do not allow others to abuse you, but also, do not selfishly abuse. Respect the rights of others and treat them as you would be treated.

VI. DONORS Feeding should occur between consenting adults. Allow donors to make an informed decision before they give of themselves to you. Do not take rapaciously from others, but seek to have an exchange that is pleasant and beneficial for all. Respect the life that you feed upon and do not abuse those who provide for you.

VII. COMMUNITY Reach out to others in your community. Exchange ideas, information, and support. Be hospitable to others, and appreciate hospitality when it is extended to you. Do not engage in illegal activity, for this can endanger us all. Seek to nurture our community and support all those who do the same.

i am a vampire and i am only 13 but i do not listen to ruls i only feed when i have to even if i go with out blood for days and i try to respect it i also can go out in the sunlight and drink from who ever i wan i have only been around as a vampire for about 3 months my make left me to die after he made me so i have some one to hate but i have some one to love because i was taken in by a mortil he let me feed from him so i toke only as much i needed he is still alive he lives near me so we have a connection that my new liofe is based on

I think that rules are unique to the individual . .vampire or not . .but it is good to have a few guidelines . . just in case.
