*The vampiric species is the height of evolution - it should always be strengthened, never weakened. While stalkers accept that vampires have weaknesses and penchants, qualities such as compassion and the Beast are akin to an appendix - parts of one's self that should atrophy from disuse. Their urges must be suppressed in one's self and others. Vampires who have been poisoned by their "humor" must be corrected or destroyed for the good of all. Likewise, vampires who display weakness (not cunning or the ability to dissemble, but genuine failing) should meet Final Death. *Those who have fallen to the Beast are atavisms and must be eliminated. These undead are threats to Cainites as a whole. They are as feral and dangerous as any predator, but they are out of control, like rabid dogs. They must be put down for the good of the species.' *The mark of the ideal predator is its capacity to conduct the perfect hunt. Vampires are much more than killers, but hunters first and foremost. One's skills can be honed on the streets, in clubs or in high society, and are always foremost on the mind of the perfect stalker. *The Beast is a guide and tool, not a master. It is useful to a point; it would not be a part of vampiric makeup if it weren't. The mark of a true vampire is one's capacity to leash the Beast, drawing on its strength without letting it run rampant. The Animalism Discipline is therefore prized among path followers.' *Vampires who seek to retain ties to their past humanity- or worse, Golconda - are deluded and must be shown the error of their ways or be destroyed. Golconda is not only a myth, it is a fatal distraction. It keeps a vampire focused on ideals directly counter to those in his best interests - survival, strength and power. *Do not sire needlessly. Vampires are a species in transition. Best not to Embrace before the Beast has been thoroughly purged. |
