| * Your character’s seeming reflects her outlook on her life as a changeling and the Dreaming in general. While often tied to her mortal age, changelings can be any seeming at any age. Childlings view the world with wide-eyed wonder, wilders are seekers of adventure, and grumps are builders and keepers of tradition. Seemings get a full writeup in C20 on p. 83–87. | * Your character’s seeming reflects her outlook on her life as a changeling and the Dreaming in general.

| + | * The only kiths allowed are those in C20 to new players. | ||
| + | * Kinain are not allowed. | ||
| + | * Arcadian sidhe are invite only. Please do not submit one unless invited by the ST. These are extreme difficult to portray. | ||
| + | * Pooka: Wolf are not allowed. If you would like to play WtA please join that venue. | ||
| + | * If you are a veteran player on the site, with no history of issues, you may look at the kiths in other books. This HR is subject to what the STs will allow and are comfortable with. | ||
| + | * The most fundamental choice involves what type of changeling you want your character to be. Many elements of your character, both mechanical and narrative, will be influenced by this choice. Even if your character goes against kith stereotypes and expectations, | ||

| + | ===== Arts and Realms: ===== | ||
| + | * Neither may start above 3 either at creation or during a rework. | ||
| + | * Naming: This is one of the rarer Arts. The Art was developed by the Eshu, but limitations and bans have led its practice to be almost exclusive to the Sidhe - a slight that the Eshu are not inclined to forgive. Due to this it is a restricted Art. | ||
| + | * Sovereign: This is limited to Sidhe players and may only start at 1 at creation. | ||

| + | * Title Background: Maximum of 1 dot allowed at CC. | ||
| + | * No background can be above 4. Make sure you justify those at 4. | ||

| Myths and fairy tales are populated with characters in archetypical roles. Likewise, Legacies are the archetypical roles a changeling plays in the narrative of her life. Choosing Legacies is a vital part of creating a character. They help guide the player as to her character’s nature. Is the changeling a hero or a coward, selfless or selfish? Her Legacies answer these questions. All changelings have both a Seelie and Unseelie Legacy. Her current court usually determines which one she follows, her primary Legacy. Her secondary Legacy can influence her actions and add nuance to the character, but it never overrides her primary Legacy.

| * A changeling who exemplifies his Legacy finds it easier to live out his personal narrative. All Legacies have a Quest and a Ban. Quests are behaviors that model a changeling’s archetype. Whenever he accomplishes his primary Legacy’s Quest, he receives a point of Willpower at the Storyteller’s discretion. Bans are actions that run counter to the Legacy’s archetype. If a character violates his primary Legacy’s Ban, he forfeits a point of Willpower. A changeling can go against his primary Legacy’s Ban without penalty if he can justify it using his secondary Legacy. However, if the changeling invokes his secondary Legacy too frequently, he might be on the verge of trading Courts. | * A changeling who exemplifies his Legacy finds it easier to live out his personal narrative.

| - | Colorful as an autumn harvest and chaotic and isolated as a winter ice storm, followers of the Unseelie Legacies tend to be passionate individualists.
