Status

= Giving Status: =


 * To give or take away status to another kindred the Status Giver must: 1] Have a valid IC Reason and 2] possess {Recipient’s Status}X2 + 1 Status [Personal + Station Apply].
 * Station holders that have such authority may give personal status if they have {Recipient’s Status} + 1 Status [Personal + Station Apply].
 * Personal Status is used to determine what is needed to petition those with higher status for meetings, such as Seneschal, Prince, Justicar, etc.
 * Changes in status may be announced in the Elysium Secure Message System as a valid form of announcing the Status to the community.
 * Status may be removed from a kindred by certain station-holders if specific conditions are met: See Further Stations by Status, below.
 * A negative status substracts from the total number of the holder, instead of adding to it

''*Note: All changes in Status must have a valid IC reason on the part of the character granting or removing status in another. A ST may ask for this and citation of deeds in certain circumstances. No Kindred, regardless of station, can or would be willing to give an individual status that would cause the receiving Vampire to rise above the giving Vampire in status. I.E. a Vampire holding 6 status may not give a Vampire who holds 6 or more status, any additional status regardless of station.''
