Character Creation Guidelines

A single player may have up to six Vampire, Ghouls (you cannot play your own Ghoul), or Mortals. They may not share Clan and Covenent (they may all be unaligned).

Experience Allowances

Neonate: 0-60 experience or less

All players are required to start with a Neonate character. All character must be submitted to and approved by the Requiem ST before character posting may begin. (This includes a character description)

No more then 35% of your XP may be spent on Disciplines and Blood Potentcy.

 

Mainstream: 61-160 experience or less

(LOOKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROOVEN THEY CAN PLAY A NEONATE FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE REQUIEM STAFFS CHOOSING)

A mainstream character is an older and more experienced character then a Neonate. This type of character may have lived in the city for a long time or may have an extensive background in another city. A player may have two Mainstream vampires.

Mainstream characters may have restricted items, but they require a good background to explain said restricted items.

No more then 40% of your experience may be spent on Disciplines and Blood Potentcy. The book states that your BP goes up the longer you are alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody of higher potentcy then you. This DOES NOT mean that you do not have to spent experience to reflect this.

 

Elder: 161-300 experience or less

(LOOKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROOVEN THEY CAN PLAY A MAINSTREAM FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE REQUIEM STAFFS CHOOSING)

An Elder character is one that has established herself within the city or has just been around for a few centuries. Each player may have only one Elder vampire.

This type of character may have items from the restricted list but must have an extensive background. We are not demanding an explanation of every single dot on your character sheet, but we do wish that you give it your all.

No more then 45% of your experience may be spent on Disciplines or Blood Potentcy, The book states that your BP goes up the longer you are alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody of higher potentcy then you. This DOES NOT mean that you do not have to spent experience to reflect this.

ALL character require ST approval before any IC posting may begin. This includes character descriptions.
