Politics

Politics
Each race has their own politics and you are expected to follow them unless you want to suffer the wrath of that group or any other group you happen to offend. You might even find yourself imprisoned if you flaunt your blatant disregard of the unspoken rules that have been set down to keep the world and its inhabitants co-existing in peace with each other.

This is not to say that your character has to accept these beliefs but if they grew up with them, then you'll need to tell us why they no longer hold to them. There are those who do express contempt at the way things are run but they typically hold considerable power and are thus able to safely express their scorn without suffering to much for it. Expressing scorn and deliberately committing taboo are also two separate things as well, one can get away easily with the first, the second however unless you have considerable protection, can see you hurt or at worse slain.

That said, it should be obvious that the political views of each race hold much weight within the game and at times are the meat of some events. In this case, while it can be stated that ignorance is bliss, it will prove to often be a very fatal sort of bliss.

Views on other Races


 * Anything above the vampire in power/ability is to be respected.
 * Weres and Humans are considered lesser creatures, in fact both (with the exception of pure weres) are treated as if they're no more than intelligent animals. Humans are often considered cattle with the ability to speak and a small amount of intelligence.
 * Pure weres, while respected, are still considered one step beneath the vampire, though at the actual political table/territory dealings they are treated as equals in position if nothing else.
 * Kuinshi are to be avoided at all costs and when dealt with using utmost caution and respect. However some vampires will try to take them out provided they believe they can do it without endangering themselves.
 * Phoenix are to be avoided and failing that respected highly and treated as superiors due to their power over fire and their immortality.
 * Fae are unwelcome but given a healthy dose of respect usually, though this isn't always the case as with the Kuinshi, some vampires will express their dislike of this race via unpleasant acts which are for the most part petty violence.
 * Warlocks are treated as animals whom have gotten hold of power or akin to spiders in that while most of them are human, not all of them are and they do tend to come in rather useful at times depending upon the power and intelligence of the warlock in question.
 * Dragons are considered superior and are highly respected for their power and great age.
 * Angels are to be treated with utmost respect so as not to offend them and bring down divine wrath upon the offender and those around him.
 * Demons are considered superior due to power and are generally respected, however if the vampire learns of the demons true name they will see nothing wrong in using this knowledge to their own benefit.

Views on other Races


 * Anything above power of a Vampire or a Kuinshi is to be either respected or at least treated with a healthy dose of caution.
 * Vampires themselves are to be watched carefully, if the vampire is obeying the laws and is not a menace to society or the Kuinshi, then it is to be left alone and merely observed. If the vampire is making himself a menace and/or breaking the laws set down, then he is to be dealt with as soon as it proves feasible or immediately if it is deemed necessary to prevent the vampire from committing another crime.
 * Were's are to be treated with decency provided they act with such and are following the laws laid down to keep the peace between all races.
 * Humans are to be generally left alone, treated with civility and in the case of a human attacking (or being attacked by) one of the supernatural sort, aid should be given to the one being attacked.
 * Warlocks are to be viewed with caution, as while they're not much of a danger to the Kuinshi by themselves, their spells and their ability to summon aid is to be respected and not provoked if it can be avoided.
 * Shinigami are to be generally avoided at all costs, if necessary to interact with one, be civil at very least. If one attacks you, flee to the nearest clan estate and seek aid within. Never attempt to engage a Shinigami alone in any sort of combat.

 * Rebel Shinigami are to be either imprisoned or killed upon sighting of them if possible.

Views on other Races


 * Those races which are not mortal and above the Shinigami in power are to be left alone.
 * Vampires, Weres, Humans are to be observed, but left alone unless they threaten to destroy the balance of things, then they are to investigate just why the race is doing what they are before actually moving to deal with the situation.
 * Kuinshi are merely observed and left be, unless the balance becomes threatened, either by something moving against the race or by the race themselves. They realize the Kuinshi are necessary to keeping the balance themselves and thus act to protect the remainder if there's need for it.
 * The Shinigami based within Seireitei are to be be observed and dealt with using considerable caution.

Views on other Races


 * Those races which are not mortal and/or above the Shinigami in power are to be left alone.
 * Weres', Humans, and Kuinshi are merely observed, if one dies and the soul reminds behind and chained for some reason to the earthly realm, then they act to undo this and bring the soul in to Meifu.
 * They view the other Shinigami as distant comrades but stay out of their affairs if it does not concern them.
