Your life was fairly normal, before you were Marked. You were a hopefully normal teenager, with a semi-normal life. But that all changed when one day a Tracker came to your school, Marking you as a vampyre forever. You'd heard about the House of Night; it was a place for freaks, according to your classmates. And now you were one of those 'freaks'. Great, as if your life wasn't bad enough.
You were shipped off to the school the next day. So now you had to deal with a new school, new friends and an entire new life. Who knows, maybe being a vampyre won't be so bad. You could only hope.
House Rules:
Rule #1:
If you’ve been Marked by a Tracker, night has chosen thee. You will go through the Change
and turn into a vampyre. However, if your body rejects the Change, you die.
Rule #2:
If you are Marked, you must leave your home and move into the House of Night school,
where you will take your place as a fledgling and live for four years.
Rule #3:
At the House of Night School, classes begin at 8pm and end at 3am.
The gym is open until dawn.
Rule #4:
You can never be far from an adult Vampyre for long. And it’s not like you’ll turn into a
pumpkin. It’s a much bigger deal than that.
Rule #5:
Formal rituals are held at Nyx’s Temple twice a week. At the ceremony’s commencement,
turn to the east, south, west and north to summon (in order) air, fire, water and earth.
Rule #6:
If one of the cats at the school chooses you, you will belong to him or her.
Not the other way around.
Rule #7:
Every High Priestess is given an affinity, or special powers, by the Goddess.
Rule #8:
If you ever leave school grounds, you cannot wear any part of your uniform (which is primarily
basic black) and must conceal all tattoo markings.
Rule #9:
Here at the House of Night school, there are no lockers. You will have cabinets in your
homeroom, which is also your first period. If someone steals something, the vamps will know it. As will Nyx.
Rule #10:
Uniforms must be worn at all times, unless you leave the House. As long as you are wearing a part of the uniform that shows your emblem, you can add to the uniform however you want.

Other House Information:
IMPRINTING:
An Imprint between vampyre and human does not occur every time a vampyre feeds. Many studies have been performed to try to determine exactly why some humans Imprint and some do not, but though there are several determining factors, such as emotional attachment, relationship between the human and the vampyre pre-Change, age, sexual orientation, and frequency of blood drinking, there is no way to predict with certainty whether a human will Imprint with a vampyre.
FLEDGLING – VAMPYRE IMPRINTING
Due to the possibility of Imprint, fledglings are prohibited from drinking the blood of human donors, but they may experiment with each other. It has been proven that fledglings cannot Imprint one another. However, it is possible for an adult vampyre to Imprint a fledgling. This leads to emotional and physical complications once the fledgling completes the Change that are often not beneficial for either vampyre; therefore, blood drinking between fledgling and adult vampyre is strictly prohibited.
BLOODLUST
Though the frequency of need differs depending upon age, sex, and general strength of the vampyre, adults must periodically feed on human blood to remain healthy and sane. It is, therefore, logical that evolution, and our beloved Goddess, Nyx, have insured the blood drinking process is a pleasurable one, both for the vampyre and the human donor. The older the vampyre, the more endorphins are released during blood drinking, and the more intense the experience of pleasure for vampyre and human. Vampyres have speculated for centuries that the ecstasy of blood drinking is the key reason humans have vilified our race. Humans feel threatened by our ability to bring them such intense pleasure during an act they consider dangerous and abhorrent, so they have labeled us as predators. The truth, of course, is that vampyres can control their bloodlust, so there is little physical danger to human donors. The danger lies in the Imprint that often occurs during the ritual of blood drinking.
