This page will help you get started and on your way to creating a character Bio. It is mandatory to create a bio.

A bio is a blurb or brief description about your character.  I will post the outlines of what a bio should entail. Simply highlight the empty bio right click on it and hit copy. Once you have done that enter the bio into the Bio's to be approved section or simply click on the link below in to take you there.

MENTAL STATS

WITS:1


This section gives us insight as to the mental, social and physical make up of your character. Stats for each of the 3 columns cannot exceed 4 points.  Your initial points are 7, 5, and 3, to add into these categories.  Each of your stats automatically start off with a one so you can build up from there.

Ex: You could decide to take the 7 points you have and add it to the str/dex/stam/ section. Having 7 points you can divide them as you see fit.

IE: You put 3 points into str& dex and add your last one point in stamina.

That would give you a total score of STR 4, DEX 4, and STAM of 2
However please be aware that your stat total including your freebie point cannot exceed 4 points for any starting bio.



SKILLS

As with the above explanation this is similar but your characters start of with 0 in their skills. each section must be awarded their points and you distribute them as you see fit.
Again with no skill exceeding 3 points in initial creation....

The points to be used in this section are 13, 9 & 5

VIRTUES   Your character starts out with one point in each and has 7 more points to divide between the 3 areas/

 CONSCIENCE: 1    SELF CONTROL:1     COURAGE:1


HUMANITY &WILLPOWER

These starts are decided on how you spent your points above. Humanity is decided by adding your total sum of conscience and Self Control.  And your Willpower Score will be your courage score.

HUMANITY:                 WILLPOWER:




 CLAN DISCIPLINES

Each character has its own set of special abilities known as disciplines for some its the ability to become invisible for others its the ability to turn into a wolf etc. Find out what clan disciplines you get and add them here. You get 3 points to divide into your disciplines and all clans get 3 disciplines.

On average most players sink a point into each discipline to start off but then again you might just have a vampire thats really good at only one thing and they don't have any points in the other two clan disciplines. (refer to the clan area to see what abilities that your char has access to.
