Step 9: The Spark of Unlife

It's time to really flesh out the basic concept you gave to the Ref's and which they approved.

You will need to not only include who you were but who you are now, and what your various goals are for the near and far future.

Things to Consider
The Becoming:

So, you get embraced… Why? Why did the vampire choose you above all those other schleps in the world? What makes you Special for them?

'''Your Sire:'''

Is your sire still in your life, such as it is, or have they since dropped you in favour of some other play thing? Are they still alive or have they since suffered the Final Death some how?

Here:

And why ? The Prince performs a frequent census which your character and sire wouldn't be on, meaning you've come here in the last few months… What brings you to and what do you bring to ?

'''Now and Next:'''

And what does he want, next month, next year and in five years time? How does he want to exist in life, tied to the job, a name on peoples lips or in obscurity until he finds something that grabs his attention…

Generation and Background Length
It's worth noting that you should in general aim to provide a page to a page and a half "background" for your character, essentially half a page on who you were, half on why you were selected and how it changed you and a final half page on who you are now.

In addition to this, the Ref Team ask that you try to include an additional page for each point of generation you purchase.

We also ask that the maximum length of your background is no more than six (6) pages (size 10. font: arial) for your background.

Your background should be concise in the details presented without too much waffle or unnecessary information. It should include the information regarding the sections featured in the things to consider paragraphs above.

Backgrounds for independent and advanced clan characters must be a minimum of five (5) pages and include one (1) page on why the character would work in a primarily Camarilla and Anarch game.

Once you have done this you have a completed character and may now play the game.
