Editing Vetrovnak (section)

==Vetrovnak Society==
Vetrovnak society is deeply intertwined with that of their mortal charges but it cannot be said to be wholly coterminous with it. Like humans they are judged by the Noosphere system but becuase they are made of sterner stuff they can be trusted to remain socially functional at higher NAVs—each "bracket" is roughly 2.5 times that of what is permissible for humans. In addition to a higher permissible range the vetrovnak have less severe restrictions placed upon them for exceeding regulatory values as they are likely to recover even whey reach the upwards of 1250 given enough time or a bout of torpor. Their psychological stability is trusted enough that execution won't be called for until around 2000 or so.

Most vetrovnak spend until their late teens growing up along humanity. This serves a dual purpose, first it gives the young vetrovnak a firm grounding in humanity and enables them to soften their protective instinct as they learn not to be overbearing with it and how to cope with the wildly conflicting emotions when feeding from live donors. The second is to acclimatize and endear themselves to humanity. By 20 most vetrovnak will begin to move into careers and positions where they can protect, supervise, or advise humans while still interacting with them regularly. This pattern will generally hold true until they become old enough to see that their human peers are aging while they aren't. By the time their human peers are dead and buried most of them will begin to settle into longer term thinking and moving into careers with broader scopes.
