The Coterie
A close-knit group of vampires centralized in Frostmaw, currently all bearing the same sire in Kasyr, head of the family. All included follow a strict set of rules designed to protect themselves and the family, and strive to maintain their undead existence. The Coterie itself are all related by siring, but there is likewise a niche among them for foreign vampires, dubbed the Coven.
Coterie
Kasyr Azakhaer, Ashen
Name: Kasyr Azakhaer
Race: Vampire Revenant (Human/Figment)
Sire: Terra
Home: Vailkrin
Description: Swordsman of medium height, with sandalwood hair tipped in silver, amber eyes, perky calico ears, and a matching calico tail. Clothing of choice is a black trenchcoat lined with Preklek armor, black scarf, set of enchanted goggles, fingerless mithril gloves, and a never-ending supply of cigarettes.
Class: Kensai
Weapon(s) of Choice: Gospel, Vesper, Boundless Trash Tier Katana's, unarmed brawling techniques
Vampiric Gift: A boundless sanguine appetite- and what accompanies it.
Current Status: Returned to Vailkrin, and cranky about it.
Satoshi Azakhaer, Phantom Song
Name: Satoshi Azakhaer
Race: Kit Vampire Ice Eidolon
Sire: Kasyr Azakhaer- No longer bound as Sire and Fledgeling, still happily tied by all other means
Home: Frostmaw
Description: White-haired foxkin of petite stature, lightly furred with amber-flecked eyes, long, silvery whiskers, and four vulpine tails--three white and a solitary black. Typically garbed in a fur-trimmed winter longcoat, boots, gloves, goggles, and magus hat, and often with a waterweave scarf and hoarfrost manteau. Gives off a distinct, frigid aura, and rules in Frostmaw as its Queen, with Kasyr as her king-consort.
Class: Cryomancer
Weapon(s) of Choice: Ice magicks, Asorial, Winter-Imbued Xalious Staff
Vampiric Gift: Snow Blink, a shadow-stepping performed specifically through snow. Limited range, with disorientation being more potent the greater the distance crossed. Momentum does not change with teleportation. Amount of ice needed to trigger the blink is minimal, although the technique is easier to use if the supply of snow, ice, or water is larger. Cannot be used mid-casting, while distracted, or otherwise incapacitated (i.e. requires the same level of concentration as a spell would). Gift has carried over despite her vampirism being transmuted into Eidolon status.
Current Status: No longer a vampire, grown into an undead state of an Elemental. Still unfalteringly loyal to her Coterie mates despite the ties of obedience being severed.

Coven
Those Vampires outside the immediate 'family', that have chosen to declare their allegiance to the Coterie. This agreement of mutual alliance is sealed upon a magically binding contract, signed in blood by the recruited vampire and either the Head of the Coterie, or his eldest fledgeling. The contract's binding is a powerful compulsion to adhere to the Tenets of the Coven--although not as powerful as the compulsion found between sire and fledgeling.
Three Tenets of the Coven:
Loyalty: You will be loyal to the Coterie; you will do them no harm, nor will you willingly aid their enemies.
Discretion: Feral vampires will not be tolerated. You will not draw unnecessary attention to yourself, or to the Coven, by hunting publicly. Avoid, when possible, killing what you feed from, though feel free to feed from those you kill. Bringing vampire hunters down upon the coterie will not be tolerated.
Responsibility: You will not sire another vampire until such a time you're deemed powerful, wise and responsible enough to deal with the inevitable repercussions of such an action.
Failure to adhere to these rules will result in you being hunted down and destroyed.

His garb is that of a man who is dressed in tuxedo, dress shirt, pants, shoes, tie, leather gloves, and fedora. On top of this, he has gone through great efforts to mask the fact he's a vampire. He has a locket that produces a heart beat, a mass amount of cologne to mask the scent of death, and wears gloves to cover the clammy skin.
Class: Rogue
Weapon(s) of Choice: Two miniature repeating crossbows, one sabre, two coalition vambraces, poison, traps, and anything he can find to use at a moments notice. Basically, you never know exactly what he's going to use.

Description: The woman has thick, wavy, burgundy locks, reaching down to her waist. Her eyes are long-lashed, almond-shaped, and light mossy green. Her skin is pale, soft, porcelain, a single scar on her right cheek, near her jawline; a small jagged line, where the blood of the dragon Ravina grazed her. She stands at about five foot, seven inches, the majority of her height made up of her long, slender legs, and weighs about one hundred thirty five pounds. She's slender, athletic, with curves in all the right places, and has a generous bosom. Her face is long and slender, with full, rosy lips. Typically wearing a dress of some kind.

Shishi, Blue

Class: Assassin
Weapon(s) of Choice: Animated Shadows, Wand of Mordant Flame
