Types of Ghouls

There are two main types of ghouls that we keep in our lives.

Retainers

The ones that drive us around, clean up our houses, etc who are unaware of the existence of vampires do not need to be presented to the Prince and be acknowledged. These are your personal retainers and they are not the business of the Praxis. Other retainers may include non ghouled mortals but you consider them loyal servants.

Enlightened Ghouls

Those ghouls who have knowledge that vampires exist, those the domitor wishes to have access to Elysium and those aware of other kindred in the Camarilla besides their domitor must be formally presented to the Prince and your clan Primogen. Failure to comply with this edict will result in penalties for the domitor and the immediate destruction of the ghoul. They must be vetted by any Primogen and a report given to the Sheriff, with the Imperator making the final decision if he chooses to intervene. Otherwise, all enlightened ghouls will be considered valid as long as they bear a Primogen's seal of approval.(an actual physical object or tattoo delineated to the specific purpose of marking clan property without being obvious about it, is preferred.)


Situations that call ghouls into question

Unbondable Ghouls

Any ghoul that is proven to be unbondable, the domitor will be penalized and the servant will have one of several things happen to them. The first option is that they are mindwiped. If they prove to be resistant to mind control then they might be embraced as a second option. In other cases they could be destroyed if it is proven that they are not under control and are not serving the best interests of this Praxis. The Sheriff and Deputies can and will perform routine checks on servants that exhibit suspicious behavior. Failure to comply to the Sheriff’s enforcement of this edict, will result in the final death of the ghoul and detainment of the Domitor.

Rogue Ghouls

A ghoul that loses their Domitor for any reason; be that the death of the Domitor, abandonment or the ghoul ran away from a vampire of another sect, will be judged on an individual basis. The bulk will go into the Imperators stable until auctioned off to the highest bidding kindred. If no one takes responsibility the alternative to this is the final death of the ghoul.

Taking a New Ghoul

Council of Greater Prospect Constitutional Laws:

*10 - Ghouls - Before the Masquerade is revealed to any chosen to be an enlightened ghoul, they must be vetted by any Primogen and a report given to the Sheriff, with the Imperator making the final decision if he chooses to intervene. Otherwise, all enlightened ghouls will be considered valid as long as they bear a Primogen's seal of approval.(an actual physical object or tattoo delineated to the specific purpose of marking clan property without being obvious about it, is preferred.)

Properly Requesting a New Ghoul

NPC Ghouls - the Prince does not need to meet them unless it is necessary as part of your RP, or a PRP.

PC Ghouls - Do some background investigation, including a +request to staff. Vetting can be handwaved if staff OOCly confirms the would-be ghoul has no relevant secrets, otherwise staff needs to OOCly oversee what you do and what you find. A Primogen or the Sheriff will not put that +request in for you, and will conduct their own investigation separately. Only Vampires in good standing should be allowed to enlighten a ghoul. If you are denied permission to enlighten a ghoul, consider bringing it up again later when you’ve raised your standing or have earned a boon from the Imperator.


Do the steps in this order

1: Petition a Primogen to vet your prospective new servant, and offer to pay at the minimum a minor boon.
2: If a Primogen has accepted, they will vet your prospective new servant. They /must/ submit a report to the Sheriff. If they approve, then proceed to next step.
3: Blood Bond that ghoul 3 steps. Only a fully bonded ghoul should be brought to the Imperator for acknowledgement. Anything less, is a risk to the Masquerade. (OOC: Read +rules blood bond)
4: They must know the Traditions to be acknowledged.
5: Acknowledgement in court by the Keeper, Duchess or Imperator is the final step in officiating full acknowledgement, or to bear a Primogen’s seal of approval. Any new ghouls found with a seal, but not reported to the Sheriff will face consequences.
