These are the approval procedures for the Vampire sphere on From Dusk Till Jawn.
It is permissible (and ideal) for a background to be as short as a handful of bullet points as long as the following items are covered:
Vampire Background Review
- Where the character was born and grew up
- Embrace details
- What city they were embraced in
- If Philly, was the embrace with or without permission? If without, and after 1891, their sire is probably dead.
- The age of the character when they were embraced
- How and why the character was embraced
- The identity of their sire (name, covenant, bloodline)
- Whether their sire is still alive
- What city they were embraced in
- How did the character join their covenant? Is it the first covenant they joined?
- If the character was previously part of another covenant, what were the circumstances of their changing?
- Which family is the character a part of?
Ghoul Background Review
Note: New ghoul characters are only allowed to serve PCs.
- Where the character was born and grew up
- Ghouling details
- Who is the character's regnant? Is this their first regnant?
- Where were they ghouled?
- The age of the character when they were ghouled
Sheet Review
- Status of all kinds is capped at 3 for vampires
- If the character is from another city and not part of a family, Status (City) is capped at 1
- For ghouls, City status is capped at 1 at chargen, and clan and covenant status are not available except for Status (Carthian Movement) at 1 if the regnant is Carthian.
- Purchase of Auspex, Dominate, Majesty, Nightmare, or Protean if it isn't a clan or bloodline discipline requires a teacher who knows it. For ghouls, use the regnant's clan.
- Who did they learn each dot from?
- If their Blood Potency is less than 6, they must roll Resolve + Composure - 1 to check for vitae addiction for each such dot of Disciplines.
- Check for their free dot of Attributes based on clan or bloodline
- Check the math on the sheet
- 2.0 has flat costs.
- Check Willpower, Defense, Speed, and Humanity
- Make sure that these factor in the character's Vigor, Resilience, and Celerity
- Check for Mask & Dirge (or Breaking Points for Ghouls)
- Check for Touchstone(s)
- Review mundane equipment
- All custom mundane items must follow the custom item guide.
Finishing Steps
- A basic wiki is mandatory for approval.
- Vampires must have the following. Ghouls should have the following if applicable:
- Name (whatever name or names other characters will call them)
- Clan (and dots of Status)
- Covenant (and dots of Status)
- Dots of Status (City)
- Family
- Categories set for Clan, Covenant, Family, and Bloodline, so the page populates in all the right places
- Please make sure they haven't copied the template from the NPC page -- that's only used for NPCs.
- Any easily-seen/understood/noticeable merits/effects (e.g. Striking Looks. If you can see its effects when you look at a character or if they affect most/all interactions, it should be on the wiki. We don't need someone's Resources 5 on there, but we DO need stuff that other characters will easily notice. This includes how the Nosferatu curse manifests, for Nosferatu)
- 3 RP Hooks. They don't have to be much, but they should be SOMETHING for other players to say 'ahha, we can RP together because you sometimes hang out at Bob's Bar/you're from New York and I was once there'
- Any covenant positions.
- If your PC has a Safe Place or Haven, complete the Safe Place sheet located here.
- Once the sheet is ready, make a copy of the sheet to the FDTJ Google account
- Set the 'approved' role on the Discord
