Character Creation Guidelines

 

 

All Characters will be made using the most recent Mind's Eye Theatre rules for character creation and game rules. If you are unsure which book(s) you may use/need we have made a list of World of Darkness Books we are using.

 

We are allowing the use of the published M.E.T. rules from the revised tabletop books (Clan, Tribe, and Tradition Books). We only ask that you bring a copy of the book to the game in case of disputes with other players. Please make notes on submitted characters what is from the books. Be aware that we do not possess all the books yet, so we may ask to see the rules before accepting the character.

 

All characters will be made at the basic book level

 

All supernatural genres have population caps, so please submit characters promptly

 

There is a limited list of what is allowed for character types in the game. We have created a complete list of allowed character types.

Equipment: All equipment is subject to Storyteller approval. Remember that a character with no points spent into the Resources Background will have very little equipment. Fetishes, Talismans, and other mystical equipment will be chosen by the Storytellers, you may make suggestions or requests though. No characters will begin with Klaives, Grand Klaives, Hakarrs or similar Fetishes!

Background Story/Notes: Do your best to have your character as developed as possible, history-wise, before introducing them to game. A developed character concept will make you a valuable addition to the player base. Please keep in mind that character histories are subject to storyteller approval. We have provided the following questionnaire for player backgrounds.

Note: Staff must approve all new characters before they are introduced to game.
