Neonate

A neonate is relatively young kindred who has undergone their Embrace within the past handful of decades. They are generally less experienced and less powerful than ancillae or elders, and as such, they are often viewed as lower on the social ladder within Kindred society.   Neonate is above Fledgling but below Ancilla.   Neonates are expected to follow the traditions and customs of the Masquerade and adhere to the rules of their Prince or Baron's domain. They are also expected to seek out a mentor, often their sire or an Elder, who can guide them in their new unlife and help them navigate the complex social and political landscape of kindred society.   As newly created vampires, neonates are often viewed with suspicion and caution by their elders. They may be used as pawns in political maneuverings or tasked with menial duties, such as running errands, performing reconnaissance missions, attending to those who are older than them and serve as soldiers. However, they may also be given opportunities to prove themselves and earn favor with their Prince, Baron, or other kindred.   Neonates are not typically granted the same level of autonomy as an Ancilla, but they may be given specific tasks or missions to complete on behalf of their Prince, Baron, or sire. They are expected to be loyal to their clan and their local sect ruler, and to follow the Masquerade at all times, concealing the existence of vampires from mortal society.   Overall, neonates are still finding their place in the complex hierarchy of Kindred society and are expected to be learning and growing in their understanding of their new existence. They may face many challenges and dangers, but if they can navigate the treacherous waters of Kindred politics and gain the favor of their superiors, they may one day rise to positions of power and influence themselves.
