Character sheet post format
UPDATED December 30, 2004

Here's the format I'd like character sheets to be sent to me in. Please send them to thegamemistress (at) livejournal.com.

Please use the form below when applying, and type or paste everything into the body of the message -- no attachments or fancy formatting (multiple columns, etc.).

Effective August 13, 2004, attachments will be deleted without reading, and you will be asked to re-send your application as specified above.

Before submitting a character, make sure you have read the rules of this game, and understand how they apply to you as a player.


Character sheet post format

LJ Username: (the one you will be using for this game)
E-mail:
AIM:
YIM:
ICQ:
Are you over 18? (Note: If you are under 18, please say so)
Character's Name (Mortal):
Character's Name (Faerie):
Court:
Seeming:
Kith:
House (if any; all sidhe must have one):
Seelie Legacy:
Unseelie Legacy:
Character's Mortal Age:
Attributes: Physical, Social, Mental. Include specialties as appropriate, i.e., Strength 4, Wits 5 (conversation)
Abilities: Talents, Skills, Knowledges. List only those your character has a stat in; i.e., Crafts 2, Lore 3 (sidhe)
Backgrounds: If your Background is a mentor, chimera, etc. describe and name them here
Arts: List with score, i.e., Wayfare 3
Realms: List with score, i.e., Fae 4
Glamour, Willpower and Banality: List only the permanent values; do not list temporary ones, as they will fluctuate
Birthrights & Frailties, House Boon and Flaw:
Merits & Flaws: List these, and provide a shorthand description of what it involves. [i.e., Poetic Heart (3 pt merit, great artist, May make a willpower roll (diff perm banality) to avoid gaining a point of temp banality, once per story)]. The shorthand is so I'm not constantly looking up Merits and Flaws.
Background & Personality: This should be the longest section! In it, please remember to include details of your character's early life, family, Chrysalis, and so on. These are important things, so take the time to think them out.
Description of your character: Include both mortal and faerie appearance
Equipment: Any equipment, either real or chimerical, that your PC has
A sample post:
EDIT: The sample post is an example of an IC journal entry for this game. It can be something as simple as, "Aidan got up, brushed his teeth, and put on his favorite Old Blind Dogs T-shirt and black jeans. Walking down the hall to the kitchen, he filled a teapot with water and put it on the stove...," or as elaborate as you like. This gives me an idea of what your character is like, how s/he behaves, etc.


***

A few notes -- I will accept any of the kiths or houses in the main book. Redcaps are restricted -- before you send me a redcap character, send me an e-mail discussing what sort of character s/he is going to be, and I'll let you know if I think it'll work out.

Characters may be Seelie or Unseelie. No Shadow Court characters will be accepted (sorry!). Sidhe from the Unseelie or "Lost" Houses are not accepted; neither are sidhe from House Scathach.

Gallain, Nunnehi, or Kinain characters are accepted at my discretion. Adhene, Dauntain, hsien, Mer or Thallain characters will not be accepted, nor will character types from other World of Darkness games (Vampires, Garou, etc.).

The Holdings Background is not allowed in this game.

Non-sidhe characters may have up to two dots of Title. Sidhe characters may have up to three dots of Title.

This game will concentrate more on character interaction than on combat -- characters created solely for combat will likely be at a disadvantage.

Please try to avoid the stereotypically angsty World of Darkness character types; this game is lighter in tone and mood than most World of Darkness games, and tends to concentrate on the sort of things that affect teenagers.

Please check with me before taking any additional abilities (what White Wolf sometimes calls "Secondary Abilities") not listed on the standard Changeling character sheet.

Feel free to comment here, or e-mail me if you have any questions.

What do you mean by a sample post?

The sort of post you'd be putting in either your character's journal or the IC community. Essentially, an IC writing sample.

You can go here to see a sample post that I did for a game based on Marvel Comics' Excalibur (for the curious, I play Rachel Summers/Phoenix)

Is it too late to ask if we can join?

Seeing as I haven't started the game yet, no, it's not too late to ask to join. :)

Cool.

May I?

(Actually - I am beginning to write up a character description and all as listed above. Expect it within the next 24 hours. Just a warning.)

Thank you.

Concept has been sent.

Let me know if you need anything else. Or if it needs adjusting. I typed it up blind, so to speak.

Thanks

Writing up one now. ;)

Would an Ailil be all right?

Quoted from above:

Characters may be Seelie or Unseelie. No Shadow Court characters will be accepted (sorry!).

So, no Ailil -- sorry. Eiluned would be OK, though.

I was considering a Fiona Sidhe, but you said that you had two of them...

Also, how many freebies points do we get for Wilders?

I'd be willing to take another, actually...

Also, how many freebies points do we get for Wilders?

Everyone gets 15 (with up to 7 addtional ones from Flaws, as per White Wolf's rules).

I guess I'm a little confused. I would love to join this, but how would the group interact?

Mostly through the IC community ([info]rowan_academy).

Satinalien and I would like to collaborate on a pair of pooka twins, one seelie and one unseelie. We will be making a single username to play both, and will be quite clear about which of the twins is doing what. As they will be inseperable and very difficult to tell apart, we thought it appropriate that we should share the name. Is this acceptable?

I'll need to see the character sheets to make a final decision, but it sounds all right tight now. :)

Oooh ooh! Are Kithbook Merits allowable? I'm considering playing a emotionally roller-coasterly bad boy satyr and I want to know what I have to use. Fine if it's not, but I like using everything available, etc.

I'm used to the LARP system for changeling. are you using larp rules/stats/points or tabletop?

Tabletop, actually. I'm not that familiar with LARP.

So, a quick question.

What's the date, ICly?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]thegamemistress
2004-04-23 08:01 am UTC (link)
IC start date will be Fall, 2003. That way, everyone gets off on the same foot, more or less. :)

Unless anyone has any problems with that?

Do characters have to be students, or can we take a teacher or some ancillary staff member (gardener, janitor, etc)?

[info]thegamemistress

PCs must be students.

Ohhhh... My Changeling game online has just been cut short by GM problems... :) So I'd love to join if still possible?

Tho' he's a fiona sidhe with a 4 point treasure... *unsure* Tho' the treasure's abilities & limits are decided in the old game, they'd probably have to be knocked down in this...

Meh. I'll drag up his character sheet tonight & try and bring it in line and send you an editted version on his history... He'd have to be grade 12 and transferred in at the start of the year tho' to make his concept work... Hmmm...

~Ryuu...

I have this problem, IRL I have no one to RP with and I gave away all my White Wolf to my friends, even the Changeling one. I can't find a new copy, the book stores aren't selling them. Could somone please help?

There is a Changeling Introductory Kit available online. It's an abbreviated version of the rules, but it should suffice for character creation, I think.

If you need character sheets, character legacies, Arts and Realms, or kith or House info, try Ravenskeep.

And, if no, do we introduce ourselves? Gosh >.< I have never done a LJ rpg before...
