Changeling/Joining

We try to make life easy. Here are some basic guidelines. You can find the full Approval Guidelines here.

Formatting Your Approval Ticket

• Use the formatting here -- it is required and we will return your ticket to you if you don't use it. This makes sure we don't forget anything.

Sheet

• Changelings use the template here
• Fae-Touched use the template here
• Do not change the formatting on your sheet or your application will be returned! You can use whatever format of sheet you wish for your personal reference but submitted sheets must all use this format. Use the 'extra space' tab for any overflow.
• Changeling: the Lost 2.0 core rules + 275 XP
• Mantle and Goodwill are both capped at 3 at character creation; no justification is required for Mantle up to 3
• Make sure your Frailties and Favored Regalia are listed where they belong on the sheet!

Backgrounds

• Forbidden Concepts: Changeling cops, officers of the law, prison guards, prosecutors or bounty hunters are forbidden concepts. The daily and persistent Clarity implications of working in such a profession simply make such concepts untenable.
• Antagonistic concepts, including former antagonists. We will never have current or former Loyalist PCs of any stripe. What you did during your Durance was one thing. What you did outside of it is another.
• Bullet points are fine; please just give staff enough to work with on crafting stories
• Choose from setting Gentry or create your own.
• Please detail how you were taken, what you did, what you remembered to allow you to escape, and how you escaped
• What do you do for your Court, or why don't you currently belong to one?
• You can't start with Wyrd 10, and we recommend people start no higher than 5 or 6. Where are you going from there if you start at Wyrd 9? You're there already.
• Want ties to NPCs? Talk to staff! This is encouraged. You may not purchase True Friend for Setting NPCs. You may purchase Mentor for Setting NPCs with staff approval. Crowns may not be purchased as Mentors at character creation, and must be earned in-character.
• You may be a newcomer or a longtime resident - please see the Notes on Freehold membership. You may not be someone who has been present in Philadelphia and not a member of the Freehold.
• You may only start with one of the bottom 2 positions on each Court page -- the Page position or the one above it. All other Court positions must be gained IC. All characters are Pages of their Court if they do not have another position. No one with a Court Mantle is without a position/job/expectations in their Court.
• Frailties must have some sort of thematic connection to who your PC is. Please don't just pick a frailty off of a list - be able to connect it to your PC's Durance or evolving status as a fae creature. If you pick "sunlight" as a major bane for your mermaid PC, be able to explain why that makes sense.

Wiki

• Please make one, they are mandatory for final approval!
• Give us a description for your character's mien as well as either a description of your Mask or images of a played-by. You must also add a brief description of your character's Mantle.
• Please include at least 3 RP hooks and basic biographical information in order to help other players approach you for RP!
• If you need help, please ask on Discord! We can set up a very basic wiki for you to fill out if you need help.
