I. LOTKA-VOLTERRA
Lotka-Volterra (LV) is a racial vampire elite group in the Nation of Remembrance.
The name is derived from the Lotka-Volterra equations, also known as the predator-prey equations, are a pair of first-order, non-linear, differential equations frequently used to describe the dynamics of biological systems in which two species interact, one a predator and one its prey ((http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra_equation)).
II. MISSION
Lotka-Volterra is not a faction, a clan or an alliance and does not follow any clan/faction logic and is not meant to intrude specific factional business.
Main goals of the group are:

III. JOINING LOTKA-VOLTERRA
Lotka-Volterra is an elite group; joining is not a right, it is a privilege.

- To be a pure vampire (Defined in the OOC Notes below)
- To be a member of the VoN group
- Having a decent knowledge of Nocturnal powers and skills
- To be approved by the LV Elders.
*** OOC NOTES:
(1) We define "pure vampire" as: both, "Nocturnal" race in the meter AND equivalent RP (so - sorry - no: "I'm a vampire-neko-human hybrid" or "yes, I am a machina in the meter but I rolplay a vampire").
(2) Have a minimum level of 9, (The level cap ensures members possess enough combat knowledge to teach spells and general combat to the younger of our Race)
