The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

(from www.shades-of-night.com)

But Ravens aren't so common, as anyone who has watched them can tell you. They are dark, and coarse, and yet graceful and playful... they are a mystery of juxtaposition which calls to something deep within the human nature.

Perhaps that is why tales of shape-shifting birds have been around for a long time. These stories can be found in Japan, in some areas of Russia, and especially among the Native tribes of North America. To the Natives, Raven was a powerful Totem Spirit, who would often take on the guise of man, to walk the earth and frequently to play tricks on the people.

Unlike tales of shape-shifting werewolves, these were-ravens aren't out for blood or vengeance. They are creatures of great wisdom, and a great capacity for mischief. They have been given different names in different tongues, but in the WhiteWolf Storyteller System, they are simply, the 'Corax'.

The Corax are, for the most part, information gatherers. They are fast, watchful, quick witted, and far more curious than a cat. However, where curiosity killed the cat, it only singed the raven's feathers (but that's another story...) These children of Raven can get into and out of trouble with amazing speed... which is a good thing, because their mischievious ways seem to get them into trouble rather regularly.

You see, were-ravens want anything which someone else does not want them to have. Anything which sparkles attracts their attention - from priceless diamonds to crumpled tin foil. Puzzles and riddles have a sparkle all their own. So do hidden passages, secret plans, and encrypted computer files. They all lead to the most fascinating discoveries...

To help them survive the perils which their fancies lead them to, the Corax have been gifted by their Totem, Raven. They can change shape from Homid (human form), to Crinos, (an awkward half-man, half-bird form), to Corvid (raven form). They have special gifts to aid them in their travel through the mundane world, and the umbra. They also have special rites to help them gather information, shed light on a situation, and to propogate their race.

 Corax are not merely winged werewolves. There is a sense of curiosity about the world which marks everything a corax does... there are mysteries which need to be explored, questions which just have to be asked, information which needs to be free - and the risk is always worth it, isn't it? Sure, a few feathers may get singed now & then, but that's the price you have to pay... unless, of course, you can trick someone else into paying the price for you...

I'm not a goth....or rather, I'm more of a "comfy goth"...which means I wear whatever's black and comfortable. I do get depressed at times, but I try not to let it run my life.




As far as beliefs, I'm an agnostic with some Pagan leanings. I have an affinity towards Isis and have even had a few interesting conversations with Jesus (and not the psychotic "the voice of God in my head told me to drown my children" type either). I believe that all gods eminate from one Source and adopt forms to better interact with humanity. The true Divine is unknowable, yet in everything and can be accessed by those who can feel it, to work with in the form of magic, prayer, and miracles.



I believe in the power of magic and am working to try to regain some of it in my life. Over the past couple of years, I've become rather jaded and shut out or pushed aside the spiritual side of myself in favor of trying to obtain "the American Dream" of good job, nice car, nice house, and family.






I'm happily married (so no flirting, please!) with one beautiful faerie princess of a daughter who is 10 months old.

"I'm just like every modern woman trying to have it all. A loving husband, a family. I only wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade." -- Morticia Addams (Addams Family Values)

The Refined Vampire

What type of vampire are you?
brought to you by Quizilla



The Indian snake creature known as the naga was
believed to reside in groups apart from normal
humans, and many legends tell of their secret
citites hidden deep in the jungle, underground,
or underwater. In many tales, the naga is often
of royal lineage, or sometimes even divinity.
Nagas are often associated with water, and it
is said that they can control the weather.

As a naga, you possess strong leadership abilities,
you are highly intelligent, and you can also be
a bit intimidating. You also enjoy the finer
things in life and like to be pampered, and
you're not too keen on mixing and mingling with
the unwashed masses.


Who is your inner Shapeshifter?
brought to you by Quizilla

Mysterious and a scholar, you are a member of the Tremere clan. You are pretty loyal to your clan, well, you sort of have to...especially since you are blood-bonded to most of them. You are the intelligentsia of the Camarilla and are fascinated with the occult. Possessing the ability to use blood for magic, many clans don't like to approach you. However, that is fine with you. You tend not to trust the other clans anyway.What Vampire Clan Do You Belong To?

You are the Magician card. Magick is the use of the
will to effect change in reality. The will is
the ability to direct knowledge and experience
towards an end goal. The Magician is capable of
manipulating his environment because he knows
it so well. He effects the thoughts and
emotions of those around him. Therefore, the
Magician is often thought of as an artist,
writing or speaking in a way that strongly
influences others. The Magician understands how
to bring concepts into form and how to express
metaphysical concepts in a physical way. He is
seen with the symbols of each suit: a disk, a
cup, a sword and a wand. These symbols are each
a physical expression of a concept. They are
The Magician's tools. Following after The Fool,
The Magician acts as a messenger. His planet is
Mercury, who is Messenger of the Gods. He
brings The Fool into the new world that The
Fool seeks. The Magician represents the act of
creation. Because he can use his knowledge to
form something new, he seems to be able to make
a thing appear out of a void. Image from: L. S.

Which Tarot Card Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla


An unnerving aberration even in the eyes of most
vampires, Clan Tremere is a new arrival to the
nocturnal world. As legend goes, this clan's
founding members were a group of mortal magi
who somehow unveiled the forbidden secrets of
unlife, trading their true power for the
immortal strength of the carnivorous dead.
However, they still wield a soulless ghost of
their past arcane power. It comes nowhere close
to the strength of true magic, but it serves
the Tremere well enough. Their key weakness
lies also in their strength, which is the
clan's rigid organizational structure. Once a
member is it, getting out inevitably proves...
challenging.

WHAT RELIGION BESTS SUITS YOU?

Pagan/Occultist
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. Spending your entire life searching various forms of philosophy and religion, you choose to observe everything and believe little. You're personality is one of truth seeking, nature respecting and god/goddess accepting. Lastly, you don't judge anyone, but if annoyed, you will exact some form of revenge. You don't believe in the Three-Fold Law.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe. agnosticism 88% Islam 63% Buddhism 63% Hinduism 63% Paganism 63% Satanism 63% atheism 54% Judaism 46% Christianity 33% Which religion is the right one for you?

I have turned off biting due to the fact that I feel that if you really want to start a conversation with me, then you'd take the time to actually write a message...even if it's just a simple "Hi, I like your profile" or something like that.
I don't respond to bites and they clutter up my message box, so I've turned them off. If you've bitten me in the past and still want to have a conversation, feel free to send me a message. Thanks!
