Allowed source books: Any W20 Book, the tribebooks ARE allowed to be used since there isn't a 20th Anniversary Edition for them. You may also use any 20th Anniversary Edition book in the Old (Classic) World of Darkness, just please make sure that it makes sense to use on a nearly mortal character. Any merit, flaw, gift, or background may be refused at ST discretion.

Name
Write down your character's name
Player Contact
How can we contact you?

Write down Nature, Demeanor and Concept.

Character:
Write down, Breed, Auspice, and Tribe (Write N/A for Tribe if playing a cub)
No one starts in a pack, so pack name and pack totem is N/A. This will be altered later
As this is a city game please no Red Talons

Attributes
Distribute (7/5/3) points between Physical, Social and Mental categories. These stats are for Homid form, regardless of breed

Abilities
Distribute (13/9/5) points between Talents, Skills, Knowledges. Remember that during this stage, you can't have any ability ABOVE 3. You can only buy it with freebies or XP.
Distribute (4) dots in Lores. No lore above 3, even after freebies. Beginning lores are Garou, Tribal, Spirit and Umbra. No other lores are allowed at character creation
Galliard get a +2 bonus to their starting lore. They can put it in any of the 4 lores accepted above, but no lore may be above 3.

Backgrounds
Distribute 5 points in Backgrounds. Remember Tribal limitations

Record Rage, Gnosis, and Willpower.

Pick three level one gift’s, one from Breed, Auspice, and Tribe. Cubs do not get a Tribe gift until they have completed their Rite of Passage. Also, if starting as a cub, you have zero renown to start.

Select Merits and Flaws. Some Merits and Flaws may not be accepted due to the nature of this game.
(It is advisable to pick merits and flaws that will help you and your STs craft a good story for your character.)
