Character Generation/Changeling

Important notes

• We are in the process of converting everything to Changeling 20th Anniversary. If you find something that has not been updated, open a +request so staff can look into it.
  

• If you're new to the sphere, we strongly recommend you read this Changeling the Dreaming Primer before proceeding further. This will give you an idea what to expect.
• 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.
• KinFae (Kithain + Kinfolk) are currently closed as of June 2021.
• 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. To begin as a member of a house, you need to follow the same rules as a Sidhe; you need to either be sponsored into an existing household or come in with 3+ new characters (who can also be of the household).

Choose Concept, Court (set as both Faction and Court), Legacy Seelie, Legacy Unseelie, House (if any), Seeming and Kith

• House rule: When open, Autumn Sidhe (C20) are allowed and are listed as such on +sheet; Arcadian Sidhe are just "Sidhe" on +sheet
• Shadow Court: set Faction = Unseelie, Court = Shadow

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.

Seemings:

• In C20, Seemings reflect his/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. See WW92041 Changeling: the Dreaming (20th Anniversary) pg.#83–87
• Set +note for Seeming bonus based on the following:

Seeming	Bonus	Description
Childling	+1 Glamour	Childlings view the world with wide-eyed wonder. NOTE: As PCs must be at least 18 years of age, and Childlings are at least mentally underage, if not physically, we DO NOT allow Childling PCs.
Wilder	+1 Glamour OR +1 Willpower (set +note)	Wilders are seekers of adventure.
Grump	+1 Willpower	Grumps are builders and keepers of tradition.

Note kith Birthrights and Frailties. If they affect your mortal seeming, then they're recorded via permanent +effect (ask staff to set these).

Kith	Birthright +effect(s)	For use in Autumn realm

Satyr	+1 Stamina

House	Boon +effect(s)

Leanhaun	+1 Charisma
Scathach	+1 Brawl, +1 Melee

• Descriptions: Be sure to set both your standard Autumn World (Mortal) Description, as well as your Fae Mien. To se at 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).
