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.

Bloodlines Bloodlines are not permitted as a player's first character. No exceptions.

Allowed Character Types No mortals are approved; we allow only vampires and ghouls with an IC domitor.
We are only approving Ghouls at this time which have been cleared through Storytellers prior to creation.

Please make sure you view the House Rules for the situational rules that apply to your character. We don't expect you to know every House Rule, but we do expect that if you have a merit or Discipline on your sheet that you've at least glanced to see what House Rules we may have on it.

Creation Vampire characters get 50XP total and 1 Anywhere Dot [?]What the heck is an Anywhere Dot?
Basically, an Anywhere Dot is exactly what it sounds like; you can put it anywhere. The catch is, it has to go onto your sheet before XP Spends..

Disciplines at Creation Only 25XP Maximum can be spent into Disciplines. Characters can only use 1 of their initial Discipline dots towards an out-of-clan discipline. Clan-specific Disciplines (such as Majesty or Dominate) require a Mentor merit to be had, with that discipline on it. Finally, if playing a bloodline, your bloodline discipline is considered in-clan, but you must have at least 2 dots from your pre-bloodline discipline-spread (which can be purchased as in-clan) after XP Spends.

Age of Vampire Characters embraced earlier than 1850 are not approved for new players. Making a character with an embrace date earlier than 1850 requires Storyteller approval prior to creation. Furthermore, characters must have been a vampire for over one year prior to their arrival in Carcosa (unless you have an In-Game sire!), which means no "embrace and drop" concepts will be permitted.

Covenant Bonuses This is applicable for all covenants. We have altered the covenant bonuses for each covenant. Please view the House Rules page for your covenant for more information.

Humanity Losses You may drop up to 3 dots of Humanity at creation to gain +5XP For each drop. Derangement checks will be rolled for a Storyteller during Approval.

Character Type (Nomad or Recent Embrace) Your character can either be a recent embrace or a nomad travelling to the Kindred area of Carcosa from another part of the megacity of Carcosa (with a good explanation) - or from other nearby cities. Characters with an in-game sire gain a benefit (as does the sire), which you can find on the general House Rules. Otherwise, as a nomad, your options are limited to these starting cities.

Creation Ghoul characters get 15XP total, 1 dot from their Domitor's Clan Attributes, 1 Anywhere Dot [?]What the heck is an Anywhere Dot?
Basically, an Anywhere Dot is exactly what it sounds like; you can put it anywhere. The catch is, it has to go onto your sheet before XP Spends..

Age of Ghoul Ghouls should be "fresh"; their first scene should either be their being ghouled scene.

Morality Losses You may drop up to 2 dots of Morality at creation to gain +5XP For each drop. Derangement checks will be rolled for a Storyteller during Approval.
