Humanity has very little to do with non-violence and passiveness in Bloodlines, and you can lose humanity points by acts that are not self servient or violent. Showing compassion gets you humanity, harming people loses you humanity.

The quality of being human is what it deals with. You won't get much understanding from a dictionary, an encyclopedia is what you need. When you lose your humanity you don't become a monster. Not being human doesn't make you a monster.

There's no quality of good or evil in Bloodlines. I've done Jade Empire a disservice, because on further reflection the two ways aren't about good or evil either, I think what confused me was that there is also a concept of good and evil in that game.
