Wraith: the Oblivion
"What is the
terror of death? That we die our work incomplete. What is the joy of
life? To die knowing our task is done."
-- Dark
Angels Space Marines Battle Litany from "White Dwarf #213"
(Warhammer 40K)
OVERVIEW:
Description of the Necropolis in DC
(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
RESTRICTIONS:
The Wraith ST currently has no
restrictions on character creation.
MAKING A W:tO CHARACTER
Placeholder nonsense
Some temporary sites for help
on Nature & Demeanor
(These are incomplete but decent enough to help):

http://www.homestead.com/autarkis/Archetypes.html
Concept:
There is an actual list of concepts HERE
(link under construction). We
do realize that some of them may not fit exactly but do the best you
can. Concepts are usually a 1-2 word root-level label for who your
character is at the core (not in a supernatural sense). Examples might
be: Drifter, Intellectual, Party Animal, Politician, Misguided Prophet,
Socialite. These are stereotypes and needn't be literal; details would
be covered in your background.
Temp
Link containing examples of Concepts:

NB:
Specializations (Attributes and/or Abilities) -- If you have a 4
or higher, you may take a specialization in something, but the bonus
rerolling ONLY is done when you are using that specific specialization.
Example, if you have an Appearance of 4 and your specialization is
"Sexy", you only get the bonus when you are trying to
deliberately be "sexy" in your RP.
Temp
Links to use for Merits & Flaws. The VOE one is incomplete and VTM
-centric in coverage; the Pen&Paper one doesn't give details but
it DOES give the sourcebook for tons of them in every genre so you
know what's currently legal and what isn't.

WHO APPROVES YOUR
SHEET/WHO IS WRAITH ST?: slander
See my shadow
changing, Stretching up and over me.
Soften this old armor. Hoping I can clear the way
By stepping through my shadow, Coming out the other side.
Step into the shadow.
