Welcome to The Coven of Inari!
The first Asian themed Society of Vampire Rave.

The goal for this Coven is to have a place where working people and those with heavy real life schedules can be a part of the Society system. Members going into it will know that most people here have other things going on. For instance, I am the Coven Master- and I work two jobs. On my days off I enjoy spending time on Vampire Rave and being able to get the most out of what the site has to offer. Many Societies would not be so understanding and view my participation level as inadequate. I simply can't help what I have to do in my real life, so I have created a place for people like myself. This will be the first Vampire Rave Society that specifically caters to the real life schedule. You won't be judged by how often you are able to be online, as long as when you are logged on Vampire Rave- you show an interest in this Coven. Of course, if you also have an interest in Asian themes- this is also the place for you.
I am NOT a vampire. I am a fan of fiction and folklore- but we don't judge others and are open-minded. If you are looking to be 'sired' or to find guidance in your 'awakening', you will not be able to find that with me. You may be able to find a member within the Coven to help you- but it's not me. We are here to enjoy this site for what it is: "It is my goal to have this site catalog every occurrence of the vampire throughout history." -Cancer. We're interested in that, and also what we can bring to this site as a Coven.
This membership is EXCLUSIVE. Numbers are not the goal- it's quality, like-minds. DO NOT ask to be inducted. If you think you would be a good fit, strike up a conversation with our staff. We won't tolerate those who complain about the way we choose to participate. Our affiliation is unique- yet still of very high standard. This is our realm on Vampire Rave.
Forced inductions are a way of life on VR. We are not against forcibly inducting members if we feel they will be an asset to our Coven. Though it may not be our first choice in increasing our ranks, it certainly isn't something we're against.
Favor of course is encouraged. Although they may not be forced, you show your support by what you do when you can.
Rules of this Coven are simple, and extend to the rest of your actions on Vampire Rave:
-Respect
-Good moral character
-Tact
-A will to be a part of this community
Our Membership may always be small. We will only induct after sufficient, careful consideration. If it takes weeks or months to find people we feel will fit, so be it.

About our Representation/theme:
Inari is the Shinto god of the kitsune 'spirit fox' or 'vampire fox'- and all these specific kitsune are pure white and act as messengers. Kitsune can have up to 9 tails. Kitsune also come in different colors, but those are not specific of Inari. The kitsune feeds on human life forces by shapeshifting into humans. Kitsune characteristics are: great intelligence, long life, magical powers, and can be either good or evil. Kitsune are known as tricksters. But despite their role as tricksters, a kitsune will keep a promise it has given and will strive to repay any favor it owes. A Kitsunetsuki is a person that has been possessed by a kitsune.
Some ways to reveal a kitsune in human form:
1. They sometimes cannot hide their tail/s
2. Their shadows are that of a fox
3. Their reflections are that of a fox
Powers of the kitsune:
1. Possession
2. Ability to manifest in dreams
3. Ability to fly
4. Ability to create illusions
5. Breathe fire or generate fire from their tails
Star ball- sometimes kitsune are depicted holding a star ball. It is said that those who acquire the star ball can force the kitsune to help them- and also that they retain some of the kitsune magic. Due to this significance, the star ball is our Coven Master's Mark.
Misc.
-In Japan, kitsunetsuki used to be a common diagnosis for insanity and this was as recent as the early 20th century.
-Kitsune are also commonly portrayed as lovers.
-Rain falling from a clear sky is known as kitsune no yomeiri or "the kitsune's wedding".
