The Counsel Of Blood
The Counsel Of Blood is a Mentor Program set up to match fledgling vampires with vampires who have greater experience in the City. The main aim is to provide support to those who wish to grow and learn yet have not found a way to do so alone. By matching a more experienced vampire with one who is willing to learn, we hope to create a new generation of vampires who have a greater understanding of the history of the City and the joys it can bring.
Many vampires are created within the RavenBlack City walls each night and although most do not survive, there are also several who strive to develop past the first few nights. We want to help those who show the desire to learn to ensure that future generations of vampire grow with a deeper knowledge of the history and politics of RavenBlack City, and the way our City works.
In our mentors, we are looking for vampires who have progressed in their training and have a fully rounded knowledge of City unlife. The emphasis here is not on powers or blood level, but on personality and patience. We do not have a set criteria that you need to fill in order to become a mentor, in fact, we welcome vampires from all factions. You need to understand that our staff will pair you with a fledgling who best matches your personality although we will strive to make matches who have similar unlifestyles. All we ask is that you make sure you can set aside time each week, that you have a good enough understanding of City unlife to answer any questions put to you and that you are able to provide support to one who is perhaps treading a path you yourself walked many years ago.
In our fledglings we ask for just as much dedication as we do from our mentors. You do not need to have a sire nor know what one is, although we will also not turn away those who are already sired into a family. You need to understand that this is not a quick fix for getting powers but it will increase your enjoyment of City unlife as you are shown the bigger picture, after all, being a vampire isn't all about hunting and feeding. You will need to display a willingness to learn through your actions once you have registered with us and be prepared to talk to our staff as they evaluate you and pair you with your perfect mentor.
We are not an adoption agency nor are we here to recruit members for clans. We ask that our volunteers do not over advertise their clan attributes or attempt to make their ward into their childe. Mentors are under no obligation to provide funding for powers, weapons etc, in fact we would advise that our members do not engage in this practise. The idea of this program is to teach and support the next generation, to explain the purpose of the powers available and the way these are achieved. We hope that our members form long-lasting friendships with their wards that go beyond the educational basis of this program.
Our staff will be here to support you from the moment you register. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about this program, no matter how trivial you may think it is. We will be the ones who select the match between mentor and fledgling. This is too minimise the risk of favouritism and to ensure that all our mentors and fledglings are matched as quickly as possible.
If you wish to help but cannot spare enough time to be a mentor, we will be accepting donations. These do not need to be in coin form as we are a non-profit making organisation. Any coins received will be put into the program and used to buy starting powers for those fledglings who truly need that extra help. Another way of donating would be to provide basic information on your clan or to be the guest speaker at a one-off training session on a relevant subject of your choice. If you wish to help in any way at all, please speak to a member of staff. We won't turn down any offer of help, no matter how small.
The Counsel Of Blood is a non-clan affilated, non-profit making organisation. We rely on your support and input to make us a success. Please help us to make a difference.
