Mortal+/Theme/Plain/Joining

 When making a Plain, one should consider how the individual came to espouse the views of the Plain Blog. One need not be religious or even Amish, but it is necessary to explain how one came to follow such an eccentric ethos. Pacifism is one thing. Pacifism unto standing still to receive a beating to one's death is quite another. How does your character engage with the community of the Plain here in Philly? What causes do they support? What causes do they oppose? Are they opportunistic, only responding to violence that manifests in their presence? Or are they proactive, seeking out violence to oppose, and working to alleviate its causes within the community?

 Plain must take one dot in the Plain Reader merit. This merit is not free. It is a prerequisite for every Plain merit, so make sure it's on your sheet at character creation. Vanilla mortals can become Plain by being introduced to the Plain Blog and by investing 1xp into the Plain Reader merit. With that purchase, they can begin to spend XP into amassing the other merits of the Plain.

 It is not necessary that a Plain character have contacts or allies within the Plain community, but it is highly encouraged for established Plain, as this is the global hub of the movement.
