Stats on Mortals
*No starting mortal character may have any stat at 5
*No starting mortal character may have any supernatural lores
*No vampire paths of Enlightment
*Only GHOULS may have basic disciplines, these should be according to the dom's clan.
*No influences higher than 1 at creation, some exceptions allowed
*No combat stat higher than 3 (firearms, brawl, etc), total no more then 5 combat stats at creation.
*Stat ratings of 4 requires an explanation
*WP for character creation is restricted to 6 and below. Characters wishing to obtain a WP of 6+ must have good reasoning in their background to justify it.
*Occult ratings of ANY level does NOT mean a character is truthfully aware of the existance of vampires, and other major game elements such as werewolves. Factual awareness of supernatural creates is represented by lores.
*Please, play your flaws.

*Clone Characters*
We do have a rule against 'cloning'. That meaning, you are not welcome to play a character here, if you are playing the exact same character elsewhere. A person can change the character name, and tweak the concept to get around this. However the exact same character, on several sites is not okay by us.

*Influences* List of the current Influences PCs can attain: Bureaucracy, Educational, Entertainment, Finance, High Society, Media, Legal, Medical, Occult, Police, Political, Street, Transportation, and Underworld. Characters may only start with an influence of 1 in any area, and begin with a maximum of 3 influence dots combined. Banned Influences: Military, and Government.

*Lores*
Mortals are, mortal. At creation, with very few exceptions, mortals should not start with lores. Starting with lores on a mortal sheet requires special ST approval. An occult rating is not the same as a lore rating.

*Merits & Flaws on Mortals*
Merits & Flaws should be from the vampire system. Please do not submit mortals with merits and flaws taken from systems such as Demon, Mage, and Werewolf. A bit of common sense should be applied to these merits and flaws, obviously a merit like 'Powerful Childe' would not be a suitable merit for a mortal.

Mortals are NOT the main element of the game offered on PL. Mortals are subject to those vampire pcs and npcs around them. That being said, the mortal game is a secondary subgame of vampire: pcs will be subject to feeding, ghouling, death, and more. If you are uncomfortable with such themes in relation to your mortal, we do not think this game is ideal for you.
