The Lexicon

The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Roles

Predator

Role adopted within a primal dynamic by a participant who takes the pursuing, hunting or capturing part.

Definition

Disambiguation

'Predator' has many senses in general English. Within the Lexicon it refers exclusively to a consensually adopted primal-play role and is unrelated to the pejorative sense of the word.

Within a primal dynamic, the Predator role is adopted by the participant who takes the pursuing, hunting or capturing part. The role is a framing for consensual play rather than a claim about a person's character, and is defined by the negotiated shape of the scene.
