Let's Play Make Believe

For character creation, Timekeepers is following the rules from the World of Darkness Changeling Shining Host setting.

Limitations/Restrictions:
-At this time characters may not begin play as part of the Shadow Court. This may become a plot opportunity as the game develops.
-Characters may not begin game with the Background Title above 2 points.
-Merits and Flaws are not being utilized at character creation.

Character Creation:
1. Build your character and input your character information into the template below. Send a Private Message (PM) to Admin with your character template.
2. Read, review, and take time to answer the Prelude questions. Once you have answered the questions, send a copy to Admin.
3. Admin or an ST may reach out to you with questions, concerns, or suggested tweaks to the character. Any suggested changes will be made to help build character connections or to ensure that the character fits the setting/genre of this specific game. Changes that cause a character to deviate from an initial concept will be avoided unless a concept is overly problematic.
4. Admin will review your sheet and your prelude. A private character forum will appear for you and your sheet and prelude will appear there!
5. Once you have a private character forum- you are ready to play!!
