First things, first. This game is GAROU ONLY. No changing breeds. The only tribes allowed are all of the common tribes except for Red Talons. No lost tribes or Black Spiral Dancers!
**NEW** You do NOT have be in a tribe to be cliath. You can remain Tribeless and this does not mean you are a Ronin. You are simply a Garou who hasn't chosen a tribe, so you have no tribal gifts, and there is no obligation to choose a tribe later. If you choose this, you may have one extra breed or auspice gift at creation. If you're a cub, you still only get one breed and auspice gift at creation.

- Please answer the following question at the end of your backstory sheet: What story are you looking to tell with your character? This game is a story telling game. We are looking for real, well balanced, characters. Keeping that in mind, we want to see your backstories before your character sheets. Please write your backstory and submit the backstory for your character FIRST. Players who submit backstories and character sheets together will not be approved or given feedback until it is corrected. Once your backstory is approved, then you may submit your character sheet.
- Follow the instructions on the character sheet template. Please copy/paste the template EXACTLY how it appears in the character sheet template section.
- All characters begin the game as Cub or Cliath ONLY. Also, no one may start out in a camp. That can come later
- Beginning willpower for all player characters is capped at 6, and you may not have willpower above 8, period.
- Everyone gets 4 free dots in Lores in addition to everything else. Cubs only get 2 to start with. The Lores you may start with are Garou Lore, Tribal Lore, Spirit Lore and Umbra Lore. No additional Lores will be allowed at character creation. Your character has never knowingly met another supernatural, lost tribe member, or Black Spiral Dancer. *barring special circumstances. We have ended up with a lot of fae crossover in the game*
- You may not have any attribute above 4, even after freebies at character creation, and you may not have more than 2 attributes at 4. If you have more than two attributes at 4, your character sheet will not be approved. No ability may be above 3 before freebies, and you may only have 2 abilities at 4 after freebies. That said, if you have multiple abilities at 3 or 4, your sheet will be highly scrutinized by the admins.
- Your max freebies are 22. You may have more than 7 points of merits and flaws, but you don't get more than 7 extra freebie points from your flaws.
- Certain merits, flaws, and backgrounds have been banned, modified, or restricted to meet the needs of the game. Those specific ones are outlined in the House Rules section of the Rules Forum. Otherwise, any merit or flaw that would be reasonably applicable to your character will be allowed.
