For the most part, it sounded vaguely like the traditions. Except the part about not feeding on the unwilling. As far as Mina knew, there was no such thing as willing. Not without a serious Masquerade breach. She sighed. "We have similar rules." She ticked them off on her fingers, reciting them almost mindlessly. "Do not reveal your true nature to those not of the Blood. Doing so forfeits you your claim to the Blood. Sire another at the peril of both yourself and your progeny. If you create a childe, the weight is your own to bear. You are forbidden from devouring the heartsblood of another of your kind. If you violate this commandment, the Beast calls to your own Blood."
Mina shrugged. "Not being the maternal sort, I have no desire to Embrace anyone, so that's not a problem. And being an upholder of the Masquerade, I'm not inclined to harm or terrorize anyone. Well, terrorize anyone. I'll harm anyone who tries to harm me, of course. But that's a separate issue from my Kindred nature. That's self defense."
There was the matter of the Hippocratic Oath, but Mina separated it, in her mind, from her work as an Amazon.
