Vampire & Ghoul Character Guidelines

Please direct questions and character submissions to the Requiem Story Teller,  DaevaDude

Experience Allowances

1) 0-60 experience or less

All players are required to start with a Neonate character. A single Player may have up to three Vampires or Ghouls (you cannot play your own Ghoul), they may not share Clan or Covenant (they may all be unaligened). However all characters must be submitted to the venue ST before IC posting may begin.

No more then 45% of your XP may be spent on Disciplines and Bloodpotency.

2) Mainstream- 61-160 experience or less

{LOCKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROVEN THEY CAN PLAY A NEONATE FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE VAMPIRE STAFF'S CHOOSING)

A mainstream character is older and more experienced then an instant play. 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 also require a background and ST approval.

No more then 45% of your XP may be spent on Disciplines and Bloodpotency. The book does state your BP goes up the longer your alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody that is of higher potency then you. THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER make it that you do not need to spend xp to reflect this.

3) Elder- 161-300 xp or less

{LOCKED UNTIL THE PLAYER HAS PROVEN THEY CAN PLAY A MAINSTREAM FOR A TIME PERIOD OF THE VAMPIRE STAFF'S CHOOSING)

An Elder character is usually on that has established herself in 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 the character 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 XP may be spent on Disciplines and Bloodpotency. The book does state your BP goes up the longer your alive and the more times you happen to diablerize somebody that is of higher potency then you. THIS DOES NOT HOWEVER make it that you do not need to spend xp to reflect this.

Elder characters do require ST approval.
