Character Generation/Changeling

Important notes

• We have converted to Changeling 20th Anniversary. If you find something that has not been updated, open a +request so staff can look into it.
  

• Title cannot be taken in chargen above 1. Any increases are at staff discretion post approval.
• Sidhe (both varieties) are open ONLY at staff discretion.
  • See Birthrights wiki page for list of open kiths. Anything not listed is not currently available.
• KinFae (Kithain + Kinfolk) are currently closed as of June 2021.
• Shadow Court is currently closed.
• Kiths we will approve are limited to the 13 Common ones at this time. Any others are at staff discretion only.
• The Seelie and Unseelie Court are not deadly enemies. They have philosophical differences, and individuals may dislike each other individually, but as groups they still work together and it isn't a big deal. Their real enemies are (a) the Dauntain and other forces of Banality, and (b) the Shadow Court.
• Commoners can enter houses. Please set a +note as to how that happened.

Choose the following:

• Concept
• Court - Either Seelie or Unseelie (set as both Faction and Court for code reasons)
• Legacy Seelie, Legacy Unseelie (Nature and Demeanor are not used)
• House (if any)
• Seeming - also set a +note titled Seeming Bonus if Wilder
• Kith
• Threshold (Optional) (Musing/Ravaging)
  • Use +selfstat Threshold=Musing/Create Hope or +selfstat Threshold=Ravaging/Destroy Love
  • Set a +note as well please (Add what sort of thing within your chosen Threshold that your PC regularly does in general)
  • If your PC would use both Musing and Ravaging, list both in the +note. Only the most commonly used on in vitals.
• Antithesis set as a +note please
• House rule: Sidhe kith is open by Staff discretion only. If choosing one, Autumn Sidhe (C20) are listed as such on +sheet; Arcadian Sidhe are just "Sidhe" on +sheet

Birthrights: If your kith birthrights and/or house boon include an attribute or ability bonus, don't add it yourself, ask staff to set a +effect instead.

• Descriptions: Be sure to set both your standard Autumn World (Mortal) Description, as well as your Fae Mien. To set a Fae Mien, use: &faedesc me=Description - many people use color to set this mien apart from the mortal one. We recommend also adding a line break or two at the beginning to be sure they are separated.(%r)

Realities:

After approval, you will need to look into +help +rsee and +help +rexist. You need both turned on for FAE to be able to see any descriptions of the fae reality/Dreaming, as well as be seen (your &faedesc).

Backstory

These questions (C20 146-147) are meant to be used as a springboard to fill out your character's backstory as much as possible. While we do not require a formal write-up, we do suggest you review these and consider which answers would lead to enjoyable RP for yourself and others. This will also help your character seem like an actual three-dimensional character, not just a laundry list of stats.

Mortal identity Where did you grow up? What was your family life like? Did you drift away when you realized you wasn't really part of it, or cling even harder because of it? How did you do in school? What mortal friends did you have, and do you still keep in touch with them? Did you ever enchant anyone you knew, or otherwise try to let them in on your secret? Did you ever use your powers to try to help a mortal? What about using them to get even with a bully or a rival? How did that go? Does you have a job? If so, what is it, and how do you feel about it? If not, how do she make ends meet? Where do you live? Do you have any mundane hobbies or interests you indulge? Do you have a social life with your mortal friends and coworkers? What about a lover? Children? How do you explain things like sudden absences, broken promises, or missed occasions due to events in your changeling life? Is there anything in your mortal life you'd prioritize over your changeling one? If so, what is it, and why? What do your mortal friends and relatives honestly think of you? Do you care?

Changeling identity What event caused your Chrysalis? Was it traumatic, transcendent, or maybe a bit of both? Did anyone guide you into changeling society, or did you somehow find your own way there? What were your first impressions of Kithain life? When did you first encounter the nobility and changeling politics, and how do you feel about it? What do you contribute to Kithain society? Are you well known to local changelings? If so, what are you known for? Do you deserve your reputation? Who's your local liege, and how do you feel about their rule? If you are a noble, what are your obligations and ruling style? If you're a commoner, are you politically minded or do you accept the status quo? Do you attend large changeling gatherings and festivals, or do you mostly keep to herself apart from seeing your motley? Have you sworn any oaths? Visited the Far or Deep Dreaming? Do you view her new existence as a blessing, a curse, or a puzzle to be figured out?
