Nadja (formal, OSV)

The OSV formal title for an Apprentice or Gevanma who is being taught the traditions of a specific House or Order, such as the OSV or Kheperian groups. They are taught by a mentor known in this system as an Adra, and in others simply as a mentor or a Pibliar.

Najgja*(formal, Sanguinarium)

The head and leader of a Cabal from the old Sanguinarium system, they are also known as the Gatekeeper, and are responsible for screening new members of a local Cabal. This term seems to have been made up like so many associated by the Sanguinarium. See also Cabal.

The Need (general, Illuminatti, Sanguinarius)

1. (Illuminatti) The biological urge or craving to drink human blood.
2. (Sanguinarius) The need to feed. When experiencing the Hunger, one is said, "To be in Need." Very strong feelings of the Hunger are referred to as "Deep Need". (See also "feeding", the "hunger", the "thirst")

The Nephilim (general)

A rather widespread belief within the vampiric community, which asserts that vampires are the descendants of the Nephilim. The Nephilim are demi-human beings that were sired by angels, as related in Enoch I, a book that was dropped from the Bible in the early stages of its canonization. Some Nephilists believe that the vampiric condition is genetically traceable to these otherworldly fathers. Others are content to suggest that the Nephilim simply represent a higher kind of being which came down and intermingled with humanity. As far as the beliefs of the second order of Nephilists are concerned, vampires experience their condition because they are more spiritual than most beings, with a higher "vibration" or "frequency" to their spirit which somehow burns their bodies out quicker and makes it necessary to feed. Some Nephilists feed upon blood, while many others feed primarily upon life-energy. Most seem to incorporate blood into their magic and ritual.

Nightside/Noctum*( general, Sanguinarium)

The spiritual and magical side of the Twilight balance, used Exclusively by those following the philosophies of the OSV and related groups. The vampiric instincts, gifts, urges and training of a vampire.

Night-Timer (general, Nightpoe)

Night-timer is a title given to a race of beings who are actually also Inheritors. Although, they are distinguished by the term Category 2. They are also, a Bourne or Inheritor Vampire, and very similar to Class 1 Inheritors. Night-timers are affected and infected by a much weaker strain of what’s come to be known as the V5 virus.
Night-timers normally Live Much Longer than humans: They outwardly age more slowly and stay younger looking in appearance much longer. The average live span of a Night-timer is 200 to 300 years. They look about 80 to 90 at age 300. On the whole, nowhere near as long as the average Classical or Class 1 Inheritor Vampire. They may be killed by most of the normal ways of killing humans, but not as easily. Usually, they tend to be much more psychic than the average human and, most often are just as psychic as the most skilled Vampire. If healthy, they average three to five times as strong as their counterpart human, but much less powerful than a Vampire at the same stage of life at any given point. Night-timers Have Extreme Sensitivity To Light, Heat And Sun: As their Vampire counterparts suffer, so do Night-timers. They are also prone to eye problems and digestive maladies.
As their Classical and Inheritor counterparts, Night-timers consume blood as nourishment, in varying amounts. If they do not do so on some sort of regular basis, they become very weak and prone to illness. Like other Vampires, Night-timers can eat and drink as well as consume blood. Unlike Inheritor Vampires, who tend to heal faster and regenerate to a greater extent, Night-timers do not regenerate organs, but are more like humans in this respect. It was once said that Night-timers inherited the worst of both species. The ailments and other characteristics of both human and vampire without the strength, regenerative abilities, health, or long life of the Vampire. Actually, there are two forms of Night-timer. The ones who more strongly resembles Inheritor vampires in their attributes, (they heal faster, are physically stronger, and tend to be more arrogant) and those who more strongly favor humans. That which causes these differences is believed to be the original strength of the infecting virus.
Night-timers never get much respect from the Classical or Inheritor communities. Most vampires consider Night-timers to be half-breeds or even think of them as human. Humans think of Night-timers as vampires and insist on calling them vampire. Most vampires, especially Bornes, refuse to recognize Night-timers as vampires, even though Night--timers are born the same way. Usually from human parents or skipping generations and resembling ancestors such as Aunts, Uncles, cousins, etc. Night-timers choose to call themselves Night-timers to help differentiate themselves from true Bornes. Unlike Class 1 Inheritors we are not sterile, but we die, and it is difficult for Night-timers to get pregnant. Many first pregnancies are lost, or the children die very young.

Nomaj *(formal, Sanguinarium)

A vampire mystic, astrologer or user of sangomancy in the OSV system. Updated by the OSV to describe someone who has mastered the Nine Pillars of their system of Sangomancy, which is an Inner Teaching of this Order taught by one of their Synod Priesthood.
