geistnet | Entitlement for Vampires: Ordo Daywalker.

WHAT IS ORDO DAYWALKER?

Riley Falner, one of the few vampires in the world who are living, “breathing” proof of the possibility of Golconda, has sworn loyalty to Netsach and become a Keeper of the Vigil. He has but one requirement to any of the Damned that he ends up saving: that they join the Hunters, uphold the Balance, and walk the straight, narrow and incredibly difficult path to Enlightenment. He stayed behind to make sure that other Kindred find the way, just like he did thousands of years ago. As a result, many of the Kindred who find themselves in the ranks of a compact or conspiracy devote nearly every spare hour they have outside of the Vigil to remembering what it was like to be human, in the hopes of calming the Beast within them and eventually breaking the Curse.

Members of the Ordo Daywalker refer to themselves as Dayseekers as a reflection of their hope that one day, they might be able to walk into the light as free individuals, immune to the siren call of the Blood, unaffected by the howling of the Beast within them. Their loyalty to Riley (and, by extension, loyalty to Barbara Gomez, his Golden Hand), the vampire whom all of them owes their lives and continued existence to, is rivaled only by their devotion to the Hunt. The viciousness with which they deal with their primary targets – Kindred who stand against the Methuselah – is unrivalled by nearly anything in the World of Darkness.

PREREQUISITES.

Sire must be a member of Ordo Daywalker, or sire must be dead
Status 3 or higher in a compact or conspiracy
Blood Potency ••• or above
Humanity 7 or above
Rank •• or above a Clan Discipline

MEMBERSHIP & INITIATION.

A vampire who wishes to become a member of Ordo Daywalker must present herself to Riley Falner himself, or to one of Riley’s closest confidants. If Riley or his confidant finds the candidate suitable, he or she will send the candidate on a job that he feels matches their skill level. If the candidate passes, he or she is welcomed into Ordo Daywalker immediately.

THE RULES.

Uphold the Vigil. Something that stands even before their Kindred nature and their search for Golconda is their loyalty to the Hunt. They should, beyond reasonable doubt, be devoted to the cause of their home compact or conspiracy.

Feed only upon the blood of the wicked. Members of Ordo Daywalker must never prey on innocents, most especially if said innocents know nothing about the World of Darkness. The only free game are criminals and marks.

Hunt the Damned brethren who have crossed the line with a vengeance. Ordo Daywalker solely exists for the purpose of serving as a vampire solution to a vampire problem – as such, its members are expected to have no qualms with hunting down and killing Kindred if the job calls for it. They are still, however, expressly forbidden from committing diablerie.
