SIRING, YO.
So unless you want your character to stay human or they are a born nephilim/elemental then you need to get your character sired. What's that you say? Well, this will tell you exactly what it is to the very last detail!
First, lets start with the terms that come with siring. (Trust me, this is probably the longest part!)
[/b]- [/color]the person who changes/turns/marks another character (see child) First, lets start with the terms that come with siring. (Trust me, this is probably the longest part!)
+child-a child is the person whom gets changed.
+siring- the process in which a sire changes the child into the sire's proclaimed species.
+contract- a contract is held by the head of a familia. A contract can be a contract for any species; bird, cat, dog, fox, etc. To sign a contract, one drop of blood must be dropped onto the front seal of the contract. A contract creates a shape-shifter.
+contract holder- this is the head of the familia and is the keeper of the contract, they decide who signs and becomes a shape-shifter of that species.
+familia - A familia is a family of one species of shape-shifters. These shape-shifters are normally turned after birth shape-shifters and not born shape-shifters. If you sign the contract, you are a part of the familia unless stated otherwise by the Head.
+Coven - A coven is a family of vampires. This can included a large family line. Covens are normally give names that are extended onto the end of a vampires full name, almost like a last name. Anyone in a coven is normally considered 'family'/'relatives' to each other as they are all linked to the Master Vampire (head of the Coven)
+Master Vampire - A Master Vampire is the vampire at the head of their coven, the leader, and main sire. While anyone who is a certain rank may sire, they are all related to the Master Vampire in one way or another unless they are severed.
+Master Lycan - A Master Lycan is the lycan at the head of their pack, the leader, and main sire. While anyone who is a certain rank may sire, they are all related to the Master Lcan in one way or another unless they are severed.
+Pack - A pack is a family of lycans. They are usually considered related to one another, refering to each other as Sire, Brother, Sister, etc.
+angels & bestowing wings- Angels are given wings rather than being sired. They are given wings from the Lead Angel, the head of that angel family or from anyone in his/her family that he/she approves of and is on the siring list.
+Severing - This term is what happens when the link between sire and child is cut. The child no longer has a sire and becomes a master vampire. A child is often severed because they have displeased their sire, have become inactive, or have requested to be severed.

Phew! Now! It's onto the easier parts now that understand all the terms!
Secondly, when you choose to become sired the child has the choice of their sire. A sire cannot forcibly turn a child, UNLESS it is planned this way between both creators through PM.
The ways to choose a sire: choose from the list of potential sires (which is in the next post) and PM the chosen one politely asking if they would like to be your sire, post a wanted-ad for a sire (you can even include criteria should you choose), or you may set up a roleplaying thread in which different sires come to you in-character and you get to interact with them to see how your characters fit together.
After choosing your potential sire, you have to actually get turned.
How to get turned: You have a choice whether you would like to roleplay it out or not. Roleplaying it out gets you extra skill points ontop of the skill points you would already get for posting how many posts you post in your siring thread. However, if you do not wish to then you can just get your sire to approve you as his/her child and have them add you to their family list.
That's all it takes to get sired! :D
