3. You can only kill another member’s character if they agree
4. If you are a Vampire you can chose to prey on humans, lurking in the shadows of the night, or you can go to the feeding grounds where humans have been put in cages for food.


Feeding
Here is where the trouble begins. Feeding is something that is quite easy, but if you are feeding off another member, it can cause trouble. Feeding is one of the only times where you can use power play. You cannot fully control the other’s character, but you can use a little power play to feed from them.

Example(Good): Johnny reached out and snatched Anny’s hand. He jerked her roughly into his arms and lifted a hand to brush her hair away from her neck. He opened his mouth, his fangs sliding from his gums. He bent down and sank his teeth into her neck.

Example(Bad): Johnny reached out and snatched Anny’s hand. He jerked her roughly into his arms and lifted a hand to brush her hair away from her neck. She screamed and tried to pull away, but Johnny held her tight. He sank his fangs into her neck, and she screamed again.

The bad example shows the member controlling Johnny was controlling Anny, who belongs to someone else. If I see any of this, you will be warned, and if it goes too far, you will be suspended.
