# Working with the Character folder

## Backstory

Self explanatory and the first thing you will likely need to work on.

## Character Sheet

It is the main document that you need to use. It consists of 5 tabs.

### Bio

A description of your character and their art/photo

### Sheet 1 and Sheet 2

They work as any editable PDF sheet that you may be familiar with with the benefit of being easily customisable. Filling them shouldn't be hard. If something isnt included in the dropdowns, you may easily add manual input.

### Blood Sorcery

A page for mages to keep track of their paths and rituals. Feel free to delete it if not needed.

### XP Log

A useful tab that counts how much XP you spend on what. Filling it is mandatory.

From the dropdown menu choose the type of expenditure you are making. in the next cell write the name of the the thing you are purchasing. On the next cell choose your current level. Cell after that the level purchased. The costs will be calculated and added up automatically. Simply record the date on which the expenditure was made and teachers if any.

### Notes

A playground for you to add any other information you see fit. Duplicate it if you need more space and if you are savvy with Exel, feel free to play with its formatting.

## Downtime Log

Backgrounds are not purchasable with XP. For advancing and using them, as well as for investigations, crafting and a number of other activities we use the Downtime mechanic. In more detail you may read about it here. This log exists for recording every action made using the system and is mandatory for it.

For each InGame month you use your Downtime, duplicate the main tab, name it for the current IN game month and fill in the activities you did this cycle.

## Journal

This document is more a tool for you rather than Storytellers. They are optional but may help you keep track of what you have done in game.

## Additional sheets

Any retainers you possess also need sheets and their sheets have to be included in your Characters Google Drive folder as Exel files.
