Creation

this is a basic overview of character creation. further details can be found on genesis.

the first thing to remember is ...

nothing is free

the second rule to remember is ...

anything is possible

rule two can and will be tempered by those things deemed 'forbidden' as times go on, but the intention is to keep such things as limited as possible.

each character is created using 150 experience points.

everything must be purchased from this total. all traits, all virtues and morality, even willpower. there are no starting 'freebies' in any category.

merits remain limited to seven points, to be purchased from the total. trait limits are capped based on creature type, and generation/rank/whichever is appropriate as normal.

negative traits (up to the standard total of five) and flaws (up to seven) may be taken for value. morality sacrifice gains no points as starting morality must be purchased. negative traits includes negative attribute traits and derangements (you may have only one for value, they are worth two points).
