Kinain

#### Kinain Character Creation

The following is a step-by-step guide to creating a Kinain character for WoD: White Pine. The information here may be altered to conform to room and venue-specific rules, and takes precedence over other sources (be it the books themselves, or online resources, including those approved for room use).

* Character Concept
* Character Name
* Heritage - (Which kith your character is related to, by blood).

* Court - Seelie or Unseelie.
* Legacies - (One of each Seelie Legacies and Unseelie Legacies. Romantic Legacies are optional and are to be taken in addition to standard Legacies, not in their place.)
* House - Applicable only for characters with Sidhe heritage, and optional even then. Descent from a particular Sidhe house may have minor affects on temperament, but no in-game advantages; kinain very rarely swear House oaths or are almost never granted House titles.
* Motley/Oathcircle - (Again, if applicable.)

* Select Attributes

Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social, Mental. (6/4/3) (These stats start at 1.)
* Select Abilities

Prioritize the three categories: Talents, Skills, Knowledges. (11/7/4) (These stats start at 0 and cannot exceed 3 before Freebies are spent).
Free: One dot in Lore with a specialty of Kithain (or the specific Kith that the character is related to)
* Select Advantages

Birthright: Select ONE of the birthrights associated with the heritage kith.
Backgrounds (5) - This may include the Kinain-specific Faerie Blood background. It may not include Dreamers, Holdings, Remembrance, Retinue, or Title.
Arts (1): Select 1 dot of an Art. This only applies if your character has had experience with the fae; unaware Kinain do not begin with Arts or Realms.
Realms (2): Two dots of realms. 1 of these must be in the kith's affinity realm; the other may be in any other Realm.
**Mage, Garou, or Vampire Kinain cannot have Glamour, Arts, or Realms. Additional Arts and Realms can be learned by normal Kinain only with the IC tutelage of a Kithain character.**

Finishing Touches
