Embrace (VTR)

The Embrace is process by which a mortal is turned into a Kindred, called a childe, by another vampire, known as the sire. The vampire drains the subject completely of blood, then - at the point of mortal death - gives the mortal some of her own vitae. The mortal then dies and becomes an undead Kindred, also called a neonate, with a starting Blood Potency of 1, and a soul forever scarred and damaged: cursed in the eyes of God. The Embrace is performed at considerable psychological cost, leaving the sire mentally drained. Too many Embraces over a short period can leave a sire too feeble minded to function properly.
