Unless you have also taken your kin under the Allies background, your family won't go out of the way to help you. They just don't ask the questions that you can't answer.

Common Sense (1) - Whenever you are about to act in a way that's contrary to common sense, the Storyteller can make a suggestion as to the likely outcome of the action, possibly warning you away from it. (note: Do not take this merit if you are an experienced player because I will be less likely to help you. If you are a new player, or just new to Hunter then I recommend this merit as then I can provide aid to keep you alive, at least for a little while)

Religious Devotion (1 to 3) - Your character has a strong belief in a particular religious doctrine, the intensity of which is reflected in the Merit rating you choose. this belief gives your hunter strength, comfort, and calm in trying times. His devotion grants 1 to 3 additional willpower points when he is tested, when he must perform a challenging task, or when he needs confidence to succeed in an action. Your character probably prays or asks for guidance or depends upon his own trust in a Supreme Being during these moments. You then have a seperate pool of Willpower points that you may draw on for the remainder of the scene. These points must be spent in efforts to support or affirm your character's devotion, such as saving another's life, lifting an obstructing object, or controlling his own fear. They cannot be squandered on selfish acts or petty efforts. If you squander the points you may wind up losing this Merit and additional willpower points as your faith will have been broken. The Storyteller is the final arbitrator in all regards to this merit

The first point of the Ability costs one point instead of three. You also gain one extra die on any roll involving that Ability (note: Make sure that if you take this Merit the ability affected fits your character. In other words don't make Bob the Janitor have this merit in relation to firearms without that being included in his history. I.E. He was born in Kentucky and shot regularly with his father. As usual the ST has final arbitration on this merit so please talk with me first)
Unflappable (3) - You are a naturally placid person and take most things in stride. You gain two extra dice on any Willpower roll that involves staying calm and not overreacting to mundane experiences. (note: this is in relation to everyday real life occurrences and not supernatural ones.)
Direction Sense (4) - You have an innate sense of where you are and the distance you've traveled. You can make a good guess of which way is North, even without clues like position of the Sun. You rarely get lost and can estimate distances between two points pretty well.

ECONOMIC:
Alimony Recipient (1 to 3) - The level of Merit you buy indicates the number of Resources points you can have (must be purchased separately) for which you don't have to work. Your rating also suggests how wealthy your ex was. Chances are you have the children flaw as well. (note: If you're going to take this merit talk to me first)
Bargain Hound (1) - The difficulty of any resources roll you make is reduced by two
Independent Income (1 to 5) - Similar to Alimony Recipient above. (Talk to me in advance before you take this Merit)
Good Credit Rating (2) - You've always had a reasonable income, paid your debts on time and built up financial security to keep the most cynical banker happy. You must have a 3 or more in Resources to purchase this merit
Wealthy Partner/Parents (2) - Your other half or parents are pulling in a fortune, at least by earning standards, and happy to be the breadwinner/support. With someone else covering the bills and living expenses, you can always get away with a part-time job that allows you time to pursue the hunt (note: Again, talk to me before taking this merit)
Flexible Job (3) - Your job allows you to a flexible schedule or allows you to travel a lot. However you do it, you can earn your resources rating through a job that doesn't significantly restrict your hunting activities
Paid Mortgage (3) - Your is house is your own. Even if hunting costs you your job you will always have a roof over your head.
- Flaws - Social Note on all flaws: If you fail to role play any of the flaws you take I will dock you XP and willpower. Do not take flaws just to“pump” your character up. If you cannot handle role playing your flaws then please stop right now and find a different game. This is the only warning I will give anyone!
Bad Liar (-1) - While telling a fabricated lie you stutter, stammer, blush, and generally look guilty. Increase the difficulty of any roll that involves verbal deception by two.
Balding (-1) - Increase the difficulty of any Ability rolls involved in Seduction by one

Children (-1) - You have children for whom you are a primary emotional, social, and economic provider. you take a lot of joy in your kids and pride yourself on being a good parent. Unfortunately, the hunt gets in the way of parenting. If you go more than three days without seeing your kids because of work or activities related to your calling, you feel tremendous guilt. Until you see your kids, you cease to regain a Willpower point after a night's rest.
Chronically Late (-1) - You're always running behind schedule. If you agree to meet someone at a particular time, you must make a successful Willpower roll (diff ) to arrive on time. Failure means you arrive between 15 and 30 minutes late. A botch mean you show up an hour late if at all.
Chronic Pessimist (-1) - You are the impeccable voice of gloom and doom, always ready to point out a potential problem no matter how remote a chance it has of coming to pass. Add two to the difficulty of your Leadership rolls
Chronically Shy (-1) - You become very nervous and ill at ease when dealing with strangers in social situations. You often go out of your way to avoid meeting new people. Increase the difficulty of all Social rolls involving strangers by two
Clannish Family (-1) - Your family is as loving ans supportive as anyone else's. They don't take kindly to strangers, however. YOur relatives either disapprove of your friends or they like to keep favors within the family. Your kin don't do anything that directly or indirectly helps anyone apart from their own
Crude (-1) - You never learned any manners while growing up. You talk with your mouth full, burp loudly and slurp your soup. When interacting with others in any refined or formal environment, increase the difficulty of all Social rolls by two.
Cultural Snob (-1) - You have nothing but disdain for popular music, TV and movies. You couldn't name any of the current top 10 songs, and you think knowledge of TV is a sign of poor taste and incorrigible stupidity. Unfortunately, this means you have a hard time relating to people who aren't equally snobbish about such things. When dealing with strangers who don't share your allegedly enlightened views, increase the difficulty of any Social rolls by two
Defensive (-1) - You have problems taking responsibility for your actions. Perhaps you view yourself as a perfectionist, or maybe you're too immature to accept the blame or failure. When things go wrong, you look for ways to blame others and rarely accept the blame or criticism for your actions without contention.
Eccentric Appearance (-1) - You dye your hair pink, wear clothes that are fashionable only among fringe subcultures such as goths or punks, and otherwise appear nothing like the average citizen. When dealing with people not familiar with your particular subculture, increase the difficulty of any Social rolls by two. Furthermore your appearance is eye-catching, though people tend to focus on your attire rather than your physical characteristics, such as eye color.
Gambling Addict (-1) - You are addicted to wagering money on games of chance. You're too much of an addict to walk away with a profit over any extended period of time. Increase the difficulty of any Resources rolls you attempt by two.
Ghoulish Sense of Humor (-1) - You find humor in situations that make most people uncomfortable or even nauseated. Your questionable taste doesn't make you particularly resistant to the horror of gruesome sights. Your defensive mechanism is simply to belittle the situation or those involved in an inappropriate way. When confronted with a horribly gory scene or otherwise uncomfortable situation such as people trying to console one another, you tend to crack jokes and sling insults. The difficulty of any Social roll you make under such circumstances is increased by two
Icy Demeanor (-1) - You're uncomfortable relating to people on an emotional level, which is reflected in your mannerisms and speech. YOu clam up, avoid eye contact, or seek escape. Increase the difficulty of any Empathy rolls made towards you by two.
Ignorant (-1) - You tend to miss common cultural references that others take for granted, such as knowing that the Statue of Liberty is in New York City. You're not necessarily dumb or uneducated; a cloistered college researcher could just as easily dive so deeply into his field of study that he dismisses anything outside of it. You tend to give people the impression that you're slow or uneducated, however.
Impractical Dresser (-1) - You tend to dress with an eye toward impressing others rather than personal comfort. Unless you explicitly state that you dress appropriately for physical activity, you wear high heels, tight jeans or something else that hampers physical activity. Increase the difficulty of Athletics or Dodge rolls by two when you wear such clothes.
Insensitive (-1) - You have problems understanding how to gauge others' emotional reactions. You can be rather blunt in handling delicate matters, and you often find yourself apologizing without really understanding what you've done to offend someone. Add two to the difficulty of any Empathy rolls you attempt
Intolerant Neighbors (-1) - Your neighborhood is exceptionally placid and people like it that way. Any odd noises or disturbances coming from your place invariably cause someone to call the police.
Misinformed (-1) - You uphold some odd belief, such as conspiracy theory or UFO visitation, that flies in the face of accepted science or conventional wisdom. You tend to incorporate this misinformation into your world view. Whenever you test a Knowledge that in some way relates to your belief, increase the difficulty by two. This penalty kicks in when you roll a failure. It represents your tendency to come up with off-the-wall answers that others see as obviously incorrect.
Mistaken Identity (-1) - You bear a striking resemblance to a notorious figure. this person could be someone known to the hunter underground, such as a particularly feared rot or radical hunter, or you simply look like an infamous media star. While most people can quickly figure out that you aren't who they think you are, hotheads might not think twice before confronting you
Needy Friends (-1) - Your friends and other non-imbued social contacts have a pattern of falling into bad situations and turning to you for help. You're the bedrock of their lives. Whether what they need is bail money or advice on dealing with a significant other, they look to you. If you have the Allies Background, this effect is magnified even more, at the Storyteller's discretion
No Internet Access (-1) - You lack an email address, web access, and perhaps even a computer. You're unable to keep up with developments on hunter-net, assuming you even know it exists. You must do your research through nondigital outlets such as libraries or by old fashioned legwork
No Phone (-3) - You do not have a regular phone number through which you can be contacted. You are very hard to get in touch with on short notice and are difficult to track down. It's hard for you to keep in touch with fellow hunters, and you must rely on face-to-face meetings for planning and to arrange meetings (note: I'm adding to this flaw! It is usually a -1 flaw but I'm bumping it up to a -3 as you're so paranoid of “the Man” listening that you avoid phone altogether.)
Nonconfrontational (-1) - You have a hard time bringing up difficult subjects with others. You're wiling to make a lot of sacrifices to avoid interpersonal confrontations. You let people have their way simply to avoid fights, and often you step into arguments and attempt to end them without an thought about the outcome of the discussion, so long as it ends. You have a hard time coping with pushy people and find yourself making lots of compromises that you later wish you hadn't. Add two to the difficulty of any roll that involves debating or arguing with someone who is normally friendly with you
Poor Dental Health (-1) - Your teeth are very obviously in need of serious work. They jut out at weird angles and some may have fallen out. When interacting with others in superficial social settings such as a nightclub or bar, increase the difficulty of any Social roll by two

Poor Taste (-1) - You wallow in bathroom humor, lowbrow jokes and other practices that make more refined people uncomfortable. You've seen movies like Dumb and Dumber a dozen times, and don't plan on giving up on them any time soon. Your sense of humor makes you an instant pariah in any reasonably cultured company, and you can't help but let your true colors shine through in even short-term social contacts. Add two to the difficulty of any Social roll that involves peopel who might dislike your brand of humor
Shadowy Past (-1 to -3) - You aren't proud of your life before the imbuing, and if word of it ever got out, your fellow hunters might abandon you. Perhaps you ran a kiddie-porn ring, dealt drugs, or were involved with organized crime.

A botch mean that you suffer two health levels of bashing damage.
Compulsive Liar (-2) - You feel the need to put your personal spin on the truth. You don't necessarily do so out of spite or malice, and you may come to genuinely believe the tall tales that you tell (especially when you've spun them often enough). This trait is especially troublesome when other hunters rely on you for information about monsters and their habits. You might have to spend a Willpower point to force yourself to be honest, especially if it mean publicly revealing a lie
Conspicuous Consumer (-2) - You tend to blow a lot of money on useless items and overpay for brand-name clothes and other impractical items. You tend to live beyond your means, and you're always short of cash. Add two to the difficulty of any Resources rolls

This crank occasionally follows you to try and discover some dirt on you. Unfortunately, and in true modern journalism style, he tends to catch you in bizarre circumstances that he simply cannot understand. Of course, he tries to interpret them anyway.
Foreigner (-2) - You are not native to the area in which you currently live – and hunt. Although you may understand the language and general customs, you have trouble with many of the details. You have a distinguishing accent and the difficulty of any Streetwise or Etiquette checks you attempt are increased by two
Honest to a Fault (-2) - You always try to tell the truth, no matter what the situation. You won't stretch it, bend it, or manipulate it to take advantage of others, unless human lives are in jeopardy. If you do attempt to lie to someone, the difficulty of any roll involved is increased by two

Maybe you were involved in a local scandal involving a politician, or perhaps you were charged but not convicted in a sensational case. No matter what the cause, you tend to attract a lot of unwanted attention wherever you go. People look down on you, though they don't necessarily hinder or harass you. Add two to the difficulty of any Social rolls that involve people who know about your past

Your neighbors are always dropping by for unannounced visits, and they take an active interest in your comings and goings. You might want to wash up before heading home if you've just killed a rot and are covered with guts
Poor Judge of Character (-2) - Your the type of person who always ends up hanging out with the wrong crowd. Maybe you just like to date dangerous men or you're a sucker for women in trouble (or vice versa). Whatever the reason you have a hard time figuring out whom to trust. Increase the difficulty of all Awareness and Intuition rolls you attempt in social circumstances by two. Also your friends and acquaintances tend to be sponges and other lowlifes.
Stalked (-2) - Someone has an unhealthy obsession with you. Despite repeated calls to the police and several restraining orders, this person continues to harass you. Any time you head out on a hunt, the ST can make a Perception roll diff 6 on your behalf. If it fails or botches, your stalker has managed to tail you throughout the night and may put in an appearance.
Technophobe (-2) - You are severely intimidated by computers and other technology. You never use an ATM if a teller is available, and you get nervous at the sight of a keyboard. You must make an Intelligence roll, diff 6 to perform even the simplest of tasks on a computer, ATM, or similar device. In addition all Computer or Technology rolls have their difficulty increased by 2
Moneygrubbing (-3) - You exist to make money. Family, friends, and other concerns are trivial when compared to the almighty dollar. If someone offers you a bribe, you must make a Willpower check diff 7 to resist. If the bribe involves something that as far as you know won't directly result in injuries or lasting damage, increase the diff to 8. You also tend to target monsters that have a lot of material wealth. Sometimes, the best part of the hunt is looting the bodies of fallen monsters…..or allies
Wavering Faith (-3) - You were once a strong adherent of a religion, but your faith has faded (or fades) in the face of the enemy. If a divine being exists, how could He let such creatures prey on humanity? ghosts are concrete evidence that the afterlife is flawed. Your confidence is severely shaken. Add two to the difficulty of all Willpower tests.
Criminal Entanglements (-4) - You owe a lot of money or a big favor to someone on the wrong side of the law, and you have refused or been unable to pay. Although hitmen aren't being sent after you quite yet, the threat hangs over you constantly. The exact nature of the debt and the individual(s) behind it are left to the ST, but they should suit your character concept.
Unlucky (-4) - You've dealt with bad breaks all your life. From that true love who had to move across the country to the struggling Internet company you quit two months before its billion-dollar IPO, you seem always to make the wrong moves at the wrong time. Once per game session, teh ST may increase the difficulty of a critical roll you make by two. If you fail the roll, its due to some random, hard-luck factor. Your bad luck seems to crop up at the most inconvenient times. You may not take this flaw and the Fool's Luck edge. Acquiring that edge frees up points spent on Unlucky for other flaws. Nor can you have the Lucky Merit.
Pacifist (-5) - You utterly refuse to use violence against anything, even if your life or the lives of others are in immediate danger. Furthermore, you work hard to prevent others from using violence, though you do not recklessly endanger yourself or expect others to do so. You never carry weapons and refuse to procure them.
