Beginning Character Surveys

Background Survey (Required at Creation) by HST Seth
Each time you make a new character, you fill out these surveys for them. Once you have finished and posted, you email the Sabbat storytellers, and they will check your surveys, quote them, and then reward you with 10xp.

You must post these in the Player Character section of the board, under the clan to which your character belongs

These are required.

If you do not finish your surveys by your 5th game playing, your experience will become frozen and you will be asked again to submit them. Until they are submitted, you will be unable to spend experience or participate in downtimes on your character.

Copy from the code box. Write where it says "write here"; this is so you know not to put things within the tags.

The subject must be your character's full name.

Tell your story for your character to the staff.


Past


Scandals
Please describe any public scandals your character was involved in before entering play.
Self-explanatory
Please describe any secret scandals your character committed that were never discovered before entering play?
Self-explanatory

Flaws & Merits
Please list all your flaws & merits, and for any that require it, explain them. For example, if you have Old Flame, state their name, and make sure you write up an NPC questionnaire for them. If you have Hunted like a dog, explain who it is, and write a brief summary of events that led up to you being hunted. If your character is cursed, explain the curse and why it’s there.
1. Example: my character is very standard for this sort of situation, which is why he has the example merit.
2. Example 2: I ate a guy and this happened.


Plot Points

2. My mother never loved me

Background Questions
Do you still have your original Birth Certificate? What is your date of birth? (e.g. 2000-01-01)

Are you officially dead? If so, do you have a death certificate and what date did you ‘die’?

Are you using your original identity? If not, what is your current identity and how long have you used it for?
This identity is the one you are using primarily. Some people who have lived 1000+ years just have new names 'cause they do. Explain how you established it--did you just say "I'm so-and-so" or do you have supporting paperwork? Is this just what your character is known for?
Is your character famous, or was he when he was a mortal? How so, and please explain.

Do you have a concealed carry license for firearms?

Does your character have any living relatives or friends from when he was mortal?

Have you ever been a member of another pack? If so, What was its name and when were you with them?
Example: Pack 1: The Death Punch - 1902 - 1934; lost the group in a war
Who were the members of your other pack(s)? If they are still alive, include them in the relationships section.
Example: Ardu - dead Toreador Antitribu, Alison - dead Brujah Antitribue
Register a single mid-term goal below. This staff is going to give a small XP reward for accomplishing goals set by characters. An example of this is getting rid of a particularly painful negative status, or defaming a hated enemy. If you wish, you can skip this.
