Proprietary Backgrounds

Backgrounds in the World of Darkness are an ephemeral thing, representing either one’s connections to others, whether people, objects, organizations or places. Some are mundane in nature, while others require some supernatural component. Some are more specific still, only being accessible to a certain group of people.

Backgrounds may be purchased with base dots and freebie points at character creation. However, after the character creation process is finished, backgrounds are not purchasable with experience points. Instead, each background must be earned through in character actions. Backgrounds are acquired in game through spending a number of downtime actions. Depending on the background there may be other requirements as well such as certain rolls that must be made or supplies acquired. Once a character has a given background though, that isn’t the end. Backgrounds are ephemeral and easily lost if not tended to. Each background also has a given Maintenance Cost, which is paid by taking more downtime actions that must be made regularly. If a background’s required maintenance time lapses and the character has not taken the downtime actions to maintain it, that background decreases by one level. Maintenance may also require additional rolls or supplies to maintain, though maintaining an existing background is significantly easier than acquiring new ones. To acquire and maintain a background, the player must also justify how they are acquiring it in these downtime actions to the Storyteller. Backgrounds may be purchased with experience points as part of character creation only at a cost of 3 experience points for the first level and 2x current rating thereafter.

Acquisition and Maintenance requirements may be bypassed with sufficient story at Storyteller’s discretion.

Proprietary backgrounds refer to backgrounds that only some players have access to. Unlike Herd or Fame, these backgrounds are exclusively for a few players of specific clans or persuasions to possess.
