You would not believe the day I just had... wow. My school is like a million years old (or at least 50), so today I was in the middle of a math lesson when the power just went out. It is a beautiful spring day, mind you, so this was really weird. We did my entire math class in the dark before finally the power came back on and everything was normal. Then, during my last block, the fire alarm went off so we had to do a fire drill. A bunch of fire trucks were there and it was super freaky but we ended up getting to go back inside to the complete dark because the power was out again. Turns out there had been a water leakage and they had to turn off all the electrical stuff so that it wouldn't get set on fire. I was walking back to class and everything seemed perfectly normal so I was a little annoyed that they had the lights all shut off, but then I pased the theater and there was water pouring down the doors, and the floor was sopping wet. Apparently inside the theater had flooded as well, which is the 2nd time in 2014 that my school flooded. It's been insanity...
I'm kind of a pro at making up new words. There is this whole inside joke between me and two of my friends that revolves around the fact that I don't actually know how to speak... XD Coolio, young little fledgling vampires it is.
Okay so what I had in mind for the hierarchy is loosely based on a novel that I am writing and also one that I have read. The vampire species should kind of be in a power play with each other, and there are different ways to exert your power over another. These could be something like physical power over other vampires (which is very interesting to write, this was how the hierarchy in my novel is played out and it's kind of like a constant battle of strength and wits), age/elder status, and also your vampire "linage" (the novel I read focused a lot on this; having some “family lines” be weaker and some stronger and also having that almost family bond mixed with the power lust.)
The whole system is based around a set of rules that don't really have any consequences other then the lose of honour, which in a species like this is a big deal. Don't aimlessly change people/you're responsible for your own fledglings, don't announce to the world that vampires are real, respect other peoples territory, clean up after yourself, etc. These aren't written in any sort of legal document, their just common knowledge so obviously they aren't as dumb as I'm making them seem. Anyways, in my mind I don't picture this being incredibly structured. I picture it as very gritty, creepy, dangerous society that is completely underground and is in constant battle for power.
Wow, uh can you tell that I love this kind of stuff? XD Sorry if this is more in depth then what you wanted, I tend to go a bit overboard sometimes.
Anyways, here is a bit about Lisette that I didn't post.
Lisette Marion Conrad
Lisette grew up in the very early 1800s. Her family, which consisted of three surviving children, including herself, and her two parents, was more privileged then most African American families of her time. Lisette had been born free, after her mother and father narrowly escaped slavery as young adults, and was blindingly grateful for that. She enjoyed her life, especially after she was engaged to the wealthy (or wealthy enough) Clifford A. Burkley, a man who never ceased to remind her just how lucky she was to have him. Despite his self-righteous ways, Lisette saw nothing wrong with her groom-to-be and was head over heels in love. The night before her wedding however, she found her fiancee locked in an intimate embrace with another. The events that followed were a blur to her delirious, heartbroken mind but the next morning she woke up... different. Faster, stronger, livelier and with a thirst that burned her throat like a million knives.
Lisette is cunning, smart and witty. She has embraced her new nature and enjoys the power that she has acquired; although, like with most cases, just a small bit of predominance isn't enough and she will do anything to get more. Lisette is very domineering and doesn't take well to orders.
And btw, I don't mind you talking about customers! I think it's funny, actually (:
