CHARLOTTE CHARACTER CREATION

by **Ninja** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 8:14 pm

Charlotte by Night is a mortal chronicle set in 2010. It takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is a mature setting and a mature game for mature players. Players and their characters will deal with personal storylines specifically tailored to their needs as well as the underlying theme of supernatural villains of all varieties. In addition the small cities of Concord and Kannapolis will have roles as well.

In this Chronicle, characters will be mortal. No, that doesn't mean Ghoul or Kinfolk or Gypsy. It means mortal. Players will have the option to play a "Psi" character, who can have supernatural abilities of a psychic nature. True Faith is also allowed but Numina is not. Everything typically in the World of Darkness is open as an adversary, and some things I can promise you will not be expecting. This is essentially a Hunters Hunted game. I am looking for 5-7 reliable, regularly posting players who can meet my two posts a week standard. If you're interested in playing, PM me your character concept and a brief bio, and we'll take it from there.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT MAKING A CHARACTER

A. Use my character sheet template. I do not accept others.
B. Nature and Demeanor are replaced by the nWoD's Virtue and Vice system.
C. If you have questions, ask. Do not assume. Ever.
D. My Merits & Flaws list is restricted, heavily. Check with me before you take it.
E. My Backgrounds are restricted, heavily. Check with me before you take it.
F. I have "customized" the "Psi" powers. You will use my custom power rules as I have them printed.
G. Have fun. Seriously. This is supposed to be fun.
H. Finally, don't waste my time. If you're not going to take this (or me) seriously, why should I return the favor?

Here are the answers to hiccups some of you may receive.

A. Virtue and Vice: Virtue and Vice replace nature and demeanor and consist of the heavenly virtues (Justice, Hope, Prudence, Faith, Temperance, Charity, & Fortitude). Resisting your Vice and fulfilling your Virtue regains all of your spent Willpower. Your Vice on the other hand is one of the seven deadly sins (Envy, Sloth, Greed, Lust, Wrath, Pride, & Gluttony) particularly apparent in your character. Fulfilling your Vice regains 2 points of spent Willpower.

(More detailed information on Virtue & Vice can be found --> +2 freebies for anyone who finds me a good link.)

B. Dots. Yes, I know the dots are different then a vampire or werewolf or whatever. Yes the Mortal seems a little weaker. It is. The only thing I caution here is to spend your dots wisely. In my games it is always better to be well rounded then focused on one thing. Before you ask, I do not allow 5s in any Abilities at the start of the game for any character. I only allow two 4s. Don't forget the rule of 3. You can't have any Abilities start above 3 before spending Freebie points.

C. Backgrounds. It's a short list and you've only got 5 dots. Pick wisely. Influence is special because I use the Minds Eye Theatre rules for influence, and so each "Influence" is it's very own background. Thus you could have Influence ({Police) 2, Influence (Media) 3, and Influence (High Society) 2. At the start of the game, every character can have a maximum of 3 total dots in the Influence background.

D. Psi Powers: Okay, here we go. These are like "Disciplines" or "Gifts" from the various genres. There are only five and they are specialized for this game. True Faith is an additional but highly restricted power. See my next response for more information on Psi Powers and True Faith.
1. Tough As Nails - Your character has spent some time keeping in shape and ready for a fight.
2. Pyrotechnics - Your character is capable of setting things on fire by sheer force of will.
3. Second Sight - Your character has a knack for detecting things through altered perceptions.
4. Focused Mind - With a Focused Mind your character is capable of pushing, pulling, or levitating objects.
5. Witchcraft - "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." A variety of useful abilities that puts a drain on the soul.
6. True Faith - Your faith is unshakable. With True Faith even vampires flee your presence when commanded.

E. Virtues: I almost left this out because I figured everyone would know, but just in case...Conscience + Self-Control = Humanity. Courage = Willpower. If you want True Faith you must maintain a Humanity of 7 or more.

F. Merits, Flaws, & Freebies: You have 18 of them. Attributes cost 5, Abilities cost 2, Secondary abilities, Backgrounds, and Willpower cost 1. Humanity costs 4. Psi Powers cost 10. I allow no more then 10 points of Merits and Flaws combined. So if you take a 5 point Flaw and a 5 point Merit, that's it. I should also point out that neither Merits nor Flaws are mandatory. Therefore, play them or lose them. See my next response for more information on Merits and Flaws.

G. Inventory is important because I have one simple rule. If it's not on your sheet, it doesn't exist.

PSI POWERS:

FOCUSED MIND: Focused Mind is the power of moving objects with just a thought. With the plethera of other paths within the practice of thaumaturgy, this path is often overlooked. There is no direct application of force available to the practitioner until they progress deeply into the path, nor is there any real ability to affect others around the thaumaturge. The use of the power can be construed as a breach of the masquarade if there are witnesses.

So why is it studied? The ability to move something without touching it is very powerful indeed. Many novel applications can be used by a clever thaumaturge; such as grabbing something that is out of reach, using an item that the thaumaturge does not wish to touch themselves, or (in the case where the thaumaturge is particularly powerful in this path) to lift something they could not lift themselves.

Level 1 - Up to 10 pounds
Level 2 - Up to 50 pounds
Level 3 - Up to 150 pounds / 3 dice of bashing damage
Level 4 - Up to 375 pounds / 6 dice of bashing damage / lift and move others up to 5 feet per success, Willpower roll difficulty 8 to resist
Level 5 - Up to 750 pounds / 10 dice of bashing damage / lift and move others up to 5 feet per success, Willpower roll difficulty 9 to resist

PYROTECHNICS: This power grants the hunter the ability conjure mystical flames - small fires at first, but in the hands of skilled Pyro (The nickname given to the users of this power) entire conflagrations may be called forth. This path is greatly feared, as fire is one of the surest ways to bring Final Death upon a Vampire. Fire created by this path is not "natural," with many Hunters believing the flames are to be conjured from Heaven as a gift from God.

Fire conjured with this path must be released for it to have any effect. Thus a "palm of flame" does not burn the hunter's hand and cause an aggravated wound - it merely produces light. Once the flame is released it burns normally and the character no longer has control over it.

System: To activate this power, spend a Willpower point and roll Intelligence + Occult difficulty of the power's level +4. The number of successes determines how accurately the character places the flame in his desired location. One successes is all that is necessary to conjure a flame in one's hand, while five successes places a flame anywhere in the Pyro's line of sight. Once a flame is conjured, to throw it at an enemy, the character must roll Dexterity + Occult at diffculty 7. At upper levels of mastery, the hunter may learn to throw more then one flame a turn.

Level 1 — Candle (soak difficulty 4, one health level of aggravated damage/turn)
Level 2 — Palm of Flame (soak difficulty 6, two health level of aggravated damage/turn)
Level 3 — Campfire (soak difficulty 7, three health levels of aggravated damage/turn or 2 Palm of Flame size fireballs)
Level 4 — Bonfire (soak difficulty 8, four health levels of aggravated damage/turn or 2 Campire sized fireballs)
Level 5 — Inferno (soak difficulty 9, six health levels of aggravated damage/turn or 2 Bonfire sized fireballs.)

ST NOTE: For the purposes of this as an attack, consider it to do quite a bit of damage. To make separate attacks when available, you will have to split your dice pool as the rules in the Revised V:tM Core book.
