What are the expectations of a childe? Are they to be hardworking and stay up with the family? Are they to do their own business and not bother the sire with it, or are they to check with their sire beforehand? Are they for clan purposes?
I am young myself, but I am sire to Tohru-Chan and Chazz_Ryu. Both of them have taught me things about myself, about the City, and about them. I think it is a safe bet to say that I have taught them, and will continue to do so based on my experiences and my perception of the City. A childe to me is like a friend, a student and someone I trust.
Before I sire someone, I make sure that they are willing to work and have potential to be someone great, and that we are compatible and will bring forth the best in each other.
What does it take to become your childe? What are your expectations?

My childer both handle themselves well enough. If they really need my help with anything I'll probably give it. But as they're not completely incompetent, I'm not really expecting the call.

I've tried the whole pick-out-a-kid-and-teach-em deal, and it's not for me. So now, I only sire fully-powered vampires. Right now, I've got one - Lionsheart - and he's pretty much the perfect childe. He's independent, but likes to talk to me whenever we have the chance. For the most part, he doesn't bother me with his problems, unless he needs advice or thinks I have the right to know. Sure, he's not around much these days, but when he is, he makes me proud.
I sire people who will NOT come crying to me cos Vampire A was a big fat poopyhead. But I want them to know that I'll do whatever I can to help them, and if they get in trouble, that they CAN (and SHOULD) tell me about it.

If I eventually do turn a childe, they will be actually TURNED by me. If they happened to be turned and abandoned by Ravenblack or a sire who has completely left them, I will bleed them dry so that when we bind the blood within their veins is more than just a satchel of coins and a signed document, they will be reborn under my line. It's very important for me to make that step, which is probably why I never have. I don't believe in severing, I don't understand it. No one but jodee turned me, so having another 'sire' doesn't make any sense to me. But I'm the minority, I'm fully aware I understand blood siblings. I understand ritualizing that you have bound your blood to another, therefore mixing and creating a link or bind as it were, but since I can't be turned again I still just don't get it. Yet, that is what this city calls binding, so sire hopping can continue to run rampant. Yet, I honor when two find each other - even after traveling within the city for years and having other sires. Circumstances create different things. Vampyres require different things. It doesn't have to be to be able to succor, although I see that as a big attraction to the more strategic sirings. Yet, if you're building a bloodline, it certainly isn't stupid to grow numbers under you. I just find it sometimes lazy on the part of swapping sire/childe that the parties involved don't work it out. Hell - I actually find it much more interesting when the sire and childe DON'T like each other. It's way too easy to just sever. Seems cheap. Off topic, I know...I rambled on and I apologize. My expectations would be to know before hand that I'm in it for the long haul. For eternity. I will never sever you. If you decide to do so, I can't stop you, obviously, but it would never ever come from me. I'd rather see you at zero before I'd sever any that I sired. It's that important. It's the sharing of my essense, of everything that I am. Besides - white's childer are enough to handle, the Hellions!

You captured my thoughts on the severing/resireing issue perfectly rel.
I won't even sever my own childe if they ask. If I have that much of a problem with something they do, I'll deal with them by my own means before I sign some court document. Blood in, blood out.
Daddy loves you though, kiddos.

The only childer that I have had was one Kaze something-or-other and Akito (not Sohma.). I consider both 'practice childer', which is rather cruel. I had that small connection with both, one just didn't work, and the other I couldn't get a hold of and he fell into Shadows permenantly before disappearing. Hey, shows how I'll take care of kids.

I VERY rarely sire. A tight bond must be there, I can't imagine siring someone I don't adore. I have to see some extraordinary potential in them and loyalty to the line is a must, because I will not leave my bloodline. I expect my childe to listen to instructions, and show me a certain amount of respect. Other than that, Jae pretty much has free rein in whatever she does, as long as she's not squandering coins on petty bets. >.>

My childer take care of themselves pretty well on their own. I don't expect a whole lot out of them.. they know that if they need my help they can always come to me with questions or what not and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge. I respect them and they respect me....wouldn't change it a bit. ;D
