'''No Hybrids.''' You can be a Psychic, and you can be Sorcerer, but you cannot portray a Sorcerer who is also a Psychic. Please stick to either Hedge Magic or Psychic Numina.

= Stats =
You will need to log into the game and follow the on-screen instructions in order to actually assign stats to your character sheet. The character generator walks you through this process and contains explanations, but since you're already here on the wiki, here are some resources:

* You will be asked to pick a [[Archetypes|Nature]] and [[Archetypes|Demeanor]].
* You'll then need to set your Attributes, which are defined on pages 96 through 99 of V20 Core.
* Then you'll need to set your Abilities.
** Abilities are defined on pages 100 through 110 of V20 Core.
** If you are looking for Secondary Abilities, please check out our [[Secondary Abilities]] house rule.
* You will have 5 points to spend on [[:Category:Backgrounds|Backgrounds]].
* You will have 5 points to spend on Numina, with the available selection determined by your choice to be either a Psychic or a Sorcerer.
** Paths and Rituals show up on page 64 forward of Sorcerer Revised.
* You have 7 points to spend on Virtues.
* You will then select [[Merits And Flaws]].
* And then you'll spend 21 Freebies.
** Freebies are described on page 86 of V20 Core.
* You'll then pick your [[Specialties]].
* And finally you can spend 50 starting XP.
** You can find the XP chart on page 124 of V20 Core and 45 of Sorcerer Revised.

= Backstory =
You'll be prompted to write a backstory for your character. You can do it in bullet points, you can do it in prose, it can be short or long, but it does need to cover the major story beats. In the character generator, use '''+note/write backstory=<text>''' to provide your backstory. You can format with %R (carriage return) and %T (tab). If you are writing a lengthy backstory, feel free to part it out (+note write backstory 2=<stuff>, +note/write backstory 3=<stuff>).

In this backstory, you'll be expected to cover the points detailed below.

'''Why You?''' What happened that your Sire created you?
:''Example: Jimmy was noticed by Tracy, a Sorcerer. When Jimmy got in his horrible wreck, she had heard about it and wrote him off. But she took notice when she found him back on the car scene, and asked him about his recovery. She was impressed by his tenacity, knew of his academic career, and decided he would be a great pupil thanks to his determination.''

'''How Did It Happen?''' Give us an overview of how your character came about their powers.
:''Example: Jimmy was approached by Tracy later, who revealed the supernatural world to him. He thought she was crazy until she demonstrated her powers! He then spent time as her pupil under her direct instruction.

This then notifies staff of your application for them to process it and add you to the game.
