General Information
This is the section at the top of your sheet that contains your character's basic information such as Name, Forum Name and Clan.

• Bloodlines are not permitted as a player's first character. No exceptions.
• No mortals are approved, vampires and ghouls only.
• Please familiarize yourself with the Group Rules [link] for your intended character-type.

Attributes & Skills
These are by the book. Ghouls also get one of their domitor's chosen Attribute dots (we use the optional rule from Ghouls).

• Daeva - [link] Dexterity or Manipulation
• Gangrel - [link] Composure or Stamina
• Mekhet - [link] Intelligence or Wits
• Nosferatu - [link] Composure or Strength
• Ventrue - [link] Presence or Resolve

Other Traits
These are by the book, generally. Traits like Willpower or Speed will update automatically when something that modifies them is added or removed. If anything is needed to be edited, such as a loss of Humanity, it will be done by a Storyteller during the approval process in #gamehelp.

• Specialties and Merits - Please do not use ' or " when adding a specialty or merit. Trust us. :)
• Flaws - Flaws have no mechanical bonus in our game.
• Merits - [link] There are house rules on merits, look them over carefully. Also, you may not start with more than three types of Allies higher than level 1 during creation [?].
• Disciplines - [link] There are house rules on disciplines, check 'em out. Also remember that you cannot have clan-specific disciplines (Majesty, Protean, Nightmare, Dominate, Auspex) without a mentor if you are not of that particular clan that possesses that specific discipline in their set.

Equipment

• Resources' Assets [?] amount dictates what characters may start with.
• Cost Charts [?] are a list of all items and modifiers allowed for equipment.
• Character's primary havens are dictated by their Resources rating. Any additional havens must be appropriately gained (purchase or Haven merits).
• Characters will not be allowed to increase their equipment via Assets after creation (so it's recommended you take your time here). Furthermore, any excess resources assets can be gained as liquid cash - but it will only be 75% of the left over assets that weren't spent (and you will need to remind a ST to do it for you).
• If something you want is not on the list, pick something similar and use those stats. Do not create your own stats for stuff, it'll just be deleted.

Character Information

• Appearance - [link] Read this for what you should put into your description.
• Living & Hunting - [link] Look at this map and select a place for your character. Don't worry about picking the right place to begin with, you can always change it via a Storyteller in #gamehelp whenever you'd like after creation.
• Contacts - [link] List them in a simple manner. Put their name, function and how your character knows them and uses them for information in a neat list.
• Mentor & Retainers - [link] Listing them neatly in this space in a list is required.
• Haven - You should describe your haven(s) in this space.
• Backgrounds & Status - If you wish your character to have Status 1 in a covenant, you should make sure there is a reason why your character should be a full part of an established covenant, otherwise you will start with Status 0 and not have the benefits granted by that covenant available to you. Status for vampire characters (City/Clan/Covenant) is granted for free by the STs where appropriate.

Experience Spends

• We allow 1 Anywhere Dot (As in, it can be spent to up anything 1 point, before XP is spent on creation) but it must be justified within your background, much like you would do any other statistic on your sheet.
• Additional XP For Characters - Vampires 50XP; Ghouls 15XP
• Maximum XP On Disciplines - 25XP for Vampires. No exceptions. Ghouls may not spend starting XP on disciplines.
• Humanity/Morality Loss - You may choose to lower your humanity a maximum of 2 times at creation for a 5XP bonus for each loss. Derangement checks will be rolled as normal for a Storyteller at approval.

Other Notes:

• Remember, Blood Potency increases at a rate of about once every 50 years of downtime. Torpor only drops a Potency point if a character stays torpid for 25 years.
  Characters Returning From Torpor - [link] There are benefits and disadvantages to having a character which returns from torpor to our chronicle. Please familiarize yourself with the link given here for such rules.
• Recently-made Ghouls - Use mortal stats, gain 1 domitor clan favored attribute, gain 2 disciplines as normal.
• Older Ghouls - Starting Morality is 6. Starting Blood Addiction at -3 dice.
• Blood Potency with Merits - Purchasing Blood Potency with three initial merits is possible. If you want to use three inital merits to raise your Potency, select Blood Potency @ 1 for your merits, if you wish to use 6 initial merits in Blood Potency, select Blood Potency @ 2 in merits.
• Resources Justification - Please note, we require people to actually justify their resources amount in their background. If you do not justify well enough, you will likely have your resources rating lowered appropriately. Additionally, please do not use "my character owns a Business" as justification for your resources. If you want your character to be involved in business, please use other justifications like "...owns stock" or "...has invested money from a business venture sold off before moving to Atlanta" (though it would be expected that those be expounded on) or something similar. The reason for this is because we have rules for Businesses [link] which must be created in-game .
• In-Character Embraces - [link] There are multiple benefits to starting the game as a childe of an existing character. For the full benefits, you should read the linked section.
• Character Age - Characters may not be younger than 18 years of age or even appear to be under the age of 18 (yes, we think pedophilia is sick, nor are we okay with statutory rape and no one is going to cater to anything like that on this game). It is non-negotiable. Players submitting for characters that are considered "Underage" will have their accounts banned and their IP and any available information (including submission that triggered the response) reported to the ASACP and FBI for Child Pornography.
