Character Creation Template Player: Your player name. Character Name: Please try to avoid names of famous celebrities and fictional characters. While we accept that many celebrities and characters have very common names we prefer to try and avoid them as best we can. Species: Kindred, Ghoul or Human Gender: Male, Female or other (specify) Age: Characters can have a non-specific age, however in such cases you must indicate their approximate age to the closest decade for OOC reasons. Age of Embrace: Only Kindred and Ghouls need answer this one. Remember you subtract your age of embrace from your overall age to calculate your age as a kindred. Clan/Bloodline: A full list of the allowed Clans and Bloodlines can be found here. Generation: The average generation in Lemuria for Kindred is around 12, this is the baseline generation and anything lower must be reasonably justified. Sect: Only Kindred and Ghouls need fill this in. Camarilla, Anarch or Sabbat. Faction: This represents which faction your character belongs to; for kindred this is important too as the Sects are divided into Factions. Disciplines: A kindred may have a baseline of between 1 and 3 disciplines which must correlate with both their clan and their backstory. Additional disciplines must be reasonably justified. Appearance: You can structure this how you like; most people prefer descriptive prose, however you can list salient features in bullet point form if you prefer. A picture can also be included by a picture alone is not sufficient. Derangements: You can find a list of Derangements here. Personality: As with the Appearance category you can structure this how you like; most people prefer descriptive prose, however you can list salient features in bullet point form if you prefer. Haven: Where your character lives. If you need ideas and suggestions given the fictitious nature of our city just ask. Background: This is the longest and most detailed section of your application; we generally prefer prose however detailed bullet points or a timeline are acceptable in some cases. Stats Sheet: Visit Dalines and fill in a sheet there accordingly and post a link to it. More details on building your character sheet will be in another post. Template Copy-Paste

Character Sheet Generation For sheet generation and tracking we use Dalines; you will need to register and account at the site to do this. Until we have a better way to do them this will be our chosen method.

For human characters use the Hunter: The Reckoning sheet, but ignore the Advantages section and its content.
