Blackthorne Roles

Night Master/Mistress is the head of the Blackthorne Family, lord of all vampires in the clan and taught to be the leader for the future of the clan. Under normal circumstances,  only those with the Blackthorne Blood can truly be a Night Master/Mistress, however should they be defeated or die,  the Butler takes over for a temporary time until another of the bloodline is found, for better or worse. The lord vampire is overall the strongest if not oldest and most skilled in combat and knowledge, however this has proven to be false before on rare occasions. 

Nightstalker, a secondary leader acting as overall commander of the other ranks. The Nightstalker can be older or younger than the Night Master/Mistress, however they must have great knowledge of warfare, magic, and of the enemy. There can only ever be two of these ranks, as theyvare extremely important and given to handpicked individuals, referred to as a Prime and Second. 

Mistwalker ranks are generalized as moderately powerful, above the "common" vampire, the Mistwalkwler acts as spies, assassins, and considered elite soldier's above others. While anyone could potentially obtain this rank, they would have to prove their loyalties, skills and strengths to become such. 

Corpse-Sowers are the doctors of the Family, having both basic, advanced, and magical knowledge in the medical fields for their Vampires and Humans. They have magic primarily based around medical care, as well as having the requirements to be actual doctors. The head of the Corpse-Sowers is called a Doctor, while all others are Nurses or Assistants. 

Blooded are the generalized soldiers of the Blackthorne Estate, the common vampire, both strong and weak, are used for any application in combat, between assault to defense, scouting and recovery operations, Vampires that follow understood role take orders from the Nightstalker, Night Master/Mistress, and oddly enough the Butler. 

New Bloods are the newly turned Vampires or Strays brought into the Blackthorne Estate. They vary in power, as New Bloods are new born Vampires with weak powers, and Strays are often a wildcard. 

Thralls are the life slaves or servant's of any given Vampire, as they are bonded so too do they receive the gift of endless aging. Thralls are varies as well, as normally the Blackthorne Family take Humans indebted to them or those willingly, however it's not uncommon to see a Thrall be bonded against their will. They can be personal servant's, blood bags, and whatever else a Vampire might want. 

-------------------

The Butler, while not in charge of combat, is an advisor and council to the Blackthorne Family as a whole. They can give commands of defense to the Vampiric and common ranks, but can even send then on their own behalf of it is truly important.  The Butler, or Head of the Estate, makes sure operations,preparations,  and chores are done on the grounds on the regular, truly never a break in sight. There can be several Butlers, but only the "Head" can call the shots, and is intrusted by the Night Master/Mistress

Maid is a common worker, normally doing chores and delivering items such as food or clothes to their masters. They are not Thralls, and are to be treated in respect. They follow direct orders from only the Butler and the head of the Family, however they tend to also do favors for everyone else as well if they have the time. Not only are they not to be fed on, but any Maid (even of they are Human or Vampire) abused by any Vampiric ranks will answer to the Butler and the Night Master/Mistress, punishment will follow swiftly and just. 

Detective and Guards are two main bodies of security, let them be Human or Vampires, or any undead for that matter. While the Detective is only given to one individual,  they are responsible for seeking out intruders, murders, and anything that could harm or be illegal toward the Family. Guards are just that, a main body of defense for keeping out the riffraff and undesirables, they have useful tools to help then do the job, but other than that keep patrols and a watchful eye over the Estate.

Vampires are mostly nocturnal as direct sunlight can harm them. And if they remain in sunlight for too long they could die. It can start with blisters which then leads to combustion, silver can have this effect on them too. They can however bundle up clothes and cover their body to go out during the day. Vampires have the ability to charm humans using a magic spell. Charming is temporary and can only last an hour at most. Vampires can transform into a bat for faster traveling, however there are cases of vampires turning into a small swarm of locusts or even a crow, this shapeshifting ability is limited to the ability of the vampire, however they can only transform into that one avian-like creature. 

Vampires are visible in mirrors even of silver, however if they are near mirrors with iron their powers are dampened. Silver has a toxic reaction to vampires, touching it burns them. Vampires can touch garlic abd even eat it, however if around even uncut garlic their senses are blocked from smell to hearing. 

Vampires need to feed daily, they can not feed off of eachother, but they can feed off of animals and humans. A human can become a thrall or life long servant of a vampire either through curse or contract. A vampire does not die unless through an outside force or by not being able to feed, however, if starved a vampire will turn ravenous and will consume any living or even dead creature it finds, even other vampires.
