Tips for Creating a Character at Nightfall, Toronto | a World of Darkness inspired Role Playing community

Things to Keep in Mind When Creating a Character

No Exceptions

No Characters may engage in incest, RAPE or pedophilia or ANY form of sexual abuse, including beastiality or necrophelia -- this will result in an IMMEDIATE BAN from the site, no questions asked.

Striking Looks
Not banned or restricted, but understand that in taking it, you're asking for a tremendous amount of attention, and a lot of it negative. Be beautiful, but be prepared for the consequences. Also, include a description of the type of beauty your character holds: ie. "Striking Looks 2 (Innocence, Roguish, Noble, Seductive, Exotic, Refined, etc.)"
Multiple Characters
Requiem: You may play two characters of the same clan; but not of the same covenant.
Forsaken: You may play two characters of the same auspice or tribe; but not of the same Pack.

Flaws
You may take a Flaw. You will be expected to roleplay it consistently. XP will be awarded if your Flaw truly was an obstacle for you.
Child Flaw
Unless you have permission (and a good story) all Characters must be (or appear to be) 17 and above.
Fighting merits above 2
Unless your concept supports it (e.g., professional boxers, martial artists, police). Those who aren't professional fighters can get the first two dots without it counting as a restricted slot. The first dot of a fighting style should represent an enthusiast who trains weekly, while two dots would be an active hobbyist who trains a few times a week.
Unseen Sense
Gunslinger
Eidetic Memory
Giant
Brawl 4+
Fame 3+
ANY Attribute at 5
ANY Skill at 5
Yes, this can be circumnavigated by buying Specializations in that Skill.
Higher Blood Potency or Primal Urge
Each Dot of Blood Potency / Primal Urge requires a Restricted slot.
Silver weapons

Vampire: the Requiem Specific
