Character Creation

* **\*\*\* USE THE OFFICIAL LIMINAL CROSSROADS CHARACTER SHEET HERE \*\*\***
	+ Remember to make a copy instead of trying to edit the original.
	+ After you submit your sheet, the ST will make an official copy and a Discord channel dedicated to your character.
* Your character must be mentally and chronologically 18 years old or older. You may not take the Child archetype as your nature or demeanor.
	+ You may take the Child flaw. Characters who appear underage may not be in any way involved in sex or romance.
* You get 10 bonus XP at character creation. If you submit a backstory, you get an additional 10 XP. If you don't have a backstory at character creation, you can submit one later to get the XP.
* You may take a maximum of 7 points each of Merits & Flaws.
* Everyone may begin play with one piece of equipment (subject to approval), regardless of backgrounds. You may request additional items based on your Resources. No PC may begin play with more than two weapons.

## Names

* You and your character are not allowed to have the same name. If possible, do not give your character the same name as another player.
* Two characters may not have the same or similar names, unless the similarity is a plot point and you are okay with the possibility of accidentally getting sent one another's downtime responses.
* I would really appreciate it if people made an effort not to call players by their characters' names and vice versa.

## Clans & Bloodlines

* The 13 clans are allowed without restriction, with the following notes:
	+ Dementation and Dominate Malkavians are both allowed
	+ Giovanni
		- Giovanni cannot have been Embraced before 1444.
		- Anarch Giovanni must explain how and why they (or their sires) left the family and how they are avoiding being dragged back. Independent Giovanni do not.
	+ Tremere
		- Tremere cannot be Embraced before 1022.
		- Anarch or Independent Tremere must explain how and why they left the Pyramid and how they are avoiding being dragged back.
