The family life cycle is a dynamic and multifaceted journey that encompasses the various stages and transitions families experience over time. From formation and expansion to midlife and later life stages, each phase presents unique opportunities for growth, adaptation, and resilience.
The family life cycle may be divided into three major stages, the beginning family, the expanding family and the contracting family. The eminent scholar of home science. Bigelow adds eight sub stages to these three major stages.

“We are the remnants of society, cast aside like the clean-picked bones of a hunter's feast. I led my flock beneath the sun-baked sands of the Wasteland to keep them safe and teach them my ways. Men of science would call us cannibals, eaters of human flesh. Society labels us as monsters, demons and the unclean.”— Vance

The Family is a small commune of cannibals, formed by Vance over the years by gathering people like himself: people who all experience a cannibalistic hunger. Vance intends to help these outcasts survive and find some sense of community by banding together and adopting a strictly vampiric lifestyle, as opposed to cannibalism.
Within the Family, they are taught how to keep their hunger under control, and their shame, fears, and inhibitions are eliminated. Furthermore, they justify their lifestyle by emphasizing survival above all else; they only kill what they consume; nothing more, nothing less. However, before they join the Family, each prospective member is asked to seek solitude and meditate on whether or not they should stay with the Family or control their urges by themselves.
The Family is named for their metaphorical relation to each other by blood (or rather, their thirst for it). Vance takes in all that the greater wasteland deems a monster and teaches them to suppress their craving for human flesh by only partaking of blood instead, but more importantly, they are "normal" within the Family, tolerated and understood for what they are.
The humans of the wasteland brand them as "monsters, villains, criminals, animals" and call for their extermination or reform, but reform would imply that something is wrong with the cannibals; Vance obviously does not agree with this notion and sees his teachings of vampirism as an improvement and a way to transcend their otherwise cannibalistic nature. He preaches to the Family that they are no different than any other wastelander that has killed in order to put food on their table or protect their territory, and that the Family would be insane to ignore the adaptation they have been provided by evolution. However, despite his zeal, Vance knows that they do not truly possess any extraordinary abilities and the mantel of "vampire" only serves to hold the Family together. In fact, their "adaptation" is nothing more than a product of their "will and sincere meditation" that allows them to focus as they drink the life force of another being. The ability can be taught to anyone willing to learn.
•Vance: The leader and guide. He is trying to make his cannibal charges leave their urge behind and feed only from blood, adopting the ways of the vampires of legend. After completing the quest Blood Ties, speaking to him and asking if he can teach the Lone Wanderer the ways of the vampire will result in him teaching the Hematophage perk allowing to regain +20 HP by consuming blood packs.
•Holly: Vance's wife, who has reservations about some of Vance's beliefs, but supports him completely out of tradition and dedication. The Lone Wanderer can acquire the access code to Ian's room via a Speech check, high Charisma, or with the Scoundrel perk.
•Alan: A new recruit who sees Vance as the savior of his kind. Depending on how Blood Ties is completed, he can be sent to protect Arefu from wasteland threats.
•Brianna: She offers prostitution services to male members of the Family, in exchange for moderate caps. With the Lady Killer perk, the Lone Wanderer is able to persuade her to divulge the entrance code to Ian's room.
•Karl: The storekeeper. He does not believe in Vance's teachings, but pretends to in order to maintain a store in his tunnels. He can be seduced with the Black Widow perk into giving the password of the security computer terminal. The Lone Wanderer can also threaten him into giving up the password with a Strength check.
•Justin: Ian's confidante within the Family. Justin guides Ian in the various teachings of Vance, and serves as a surrogate elder brother. The Lone Wanderer can convince him to divulge the entrance code to Ian's room either by passing a Speech check or with the Impartial Mediation perk.
The Family is a self-reliant commune built around the cult of personality that surrounds Vance, whose rules are law in the underground Sanctuary of Meresti. The Family's Laws are a code of conduct that Vance expects to be followed by all members, and each member is expected to remember and enforce one of these laws.
The First Law "Feast not on the flesh; consume only the blood. This is our strength."
We do not eat the flesh of those we kill for food. We will only drink of their blood and leave the body intact. The consumption of flesh is filthy and unclean. This action is what causes the humans to treat us like animals. We are not animals, we are the Family.
The Second Law "Bear not the child; welcome only the exile. This is our fate."
Because we carry the stain of our past in our bodies, we can never let it pass to our offspring who would in turn carry out those foul actions beginning the cycle anew. The Family must seek the Wasteland for others of its kind in order to maintain itself. That is our fate.
The Third Law "Feed not for pleasure; partake only to nourish. This is our dignity."
Given that the Family is not welcomed by human society, they are hesitant to allow a human into their sanctuary and will protect themselves against violence if need be. Still, they can be reasoned with and will form a compromise with Arefu if the deal is favorable to them. Attacking anyone within Arefu even before the deal is struck will cause the ...
