Yeah, that's just sort of a summary rather then just "hey guyz lok at my uber backstory *One line*". I'll think of something more indepth. Anyway, investigation is things you would need to know in a combat situation. Sarah wouldn't be able to know who the killer was, but she'd be able to tell if it he's still nearby or what weapon he killed with. Anyway, thanks for the rest.

I think I fixed mine...(?)
I'll read up on skill specializations, before I choose.

Fixed the attributes. Damn misleading charts. It should be good now.

Yeah, I figured as much but it never hurts to take the safer path and bring it up.
Your attributes check out now, but you still have too few skills and merits. It's 7 dots for merits (you only have 6), 11/7/4 for skills (you only have 5 in social).
Like I said, the specialty is fine.

Yeah, attributes are good. I pointed out the only other issue in IRC (10 points in social, 11 in physical when skills are 11/7/4), and you're working on specialties so it's all good. Just let me know when everything is fixed up.
E: Ok, all clear. Adding you to the character list. I'm going to wait to start until at least one or two more people have finished their apps.

[scriver]

I'm interested, but havn't got the books. Can you guide me through it?

[thatkid]

If you can get access to the core rulebook, character creation is rather straightforward and simple.
There's an irc channel on freenode, #tknWoD that I've set up for helping people with just such things.

[Deep Waters]

Hm... this sounds interesting. I've heard of WoD before, but I've never played it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up a commitment, since I've never done an RPG like this before either, but paint me intrigued. I'll give it a try.

I have a character concept in mind; however, she has a few character traits that could be reflected in flaws, which the book said was optional. I can't seem to find your policy on that, though; can you explain?

You may have up to three flaws, but you only gain the experience bonus from one flaw per Day (essentially a "Chapter")

E: As I pointed out to File when he brought up starting with Sadomasochism as a flaw, you also don't need to have every flaw marked down. If you want to be near-sighted as well as a one-armed, one-legged, alcoholic just RP it out.

World of Darkness? Count me in.
My sheet

World of Darkness? Count me in.
My sheet

Mind if my character replaces one of your NPC employees? It'd help fill in my backstory, and the character's similar conceptually.

Also; the manual states that if a character's Strength level is below the Size level of a weapon, they have a -1 penalty on attack rolls; is this a flat penalty, or is it -1 per point of difference?

Okay, I kinda went a bit wild with the character background there, but I'm willing to change it or even delete parts of it if it's not what you're looking for.

Also, due to the nature of the information I put in my character's backstory, I ask that other players not look at my character sheet until the GM approves it first.

I'm not sure that's enough backstory and if i calculated everything correctly ( i never played wod before) so let me know if something's wrong.

You can either replace one or just be a third employee (assuming my character is accepted). In fact, having you as a third person would free up some time for me for adventuring. As for strength, it seems to be a flat penalty. I'll change it now.

[HailFire]

Sweet. Should have my sheet up soonish (i'm most of the way through the backstory); I'd been hoping to run it past thatkid first, but that'll depend on whether he's on by the time I finish it.

Also, the cane should probably be size 2 instead of 3 anyway, so it's a moot point in your case 

ED: I'd suggested replacing because you'd saved me the trouble of coming up with a last name, but you've got a good point. 

[SingularByte]

For names, I just use this.
I've just checked the armoury and a sword cane is size 2/L so I think you're right about a regular cane.

[thatkid]

Haven't been able to look through everybody's stuff yet, but whoa totally was not expecting so much interest here.
This is a response to backstorys, haven't checked any technical details yet. Right off the bat, though, I should let you all know that I have  a peculiar view on specialties. They should be vague-specific, and as an example of that Persuasion (Calming People Down) might be too vague but Persuasion (Calming The Angry) or Persuasion (Calming The Fearful) wouldn't be.

Singular, you can probably expect some macguffin hunts tossed your way. Hope you're cool with that.
Deep, it's gonna take me a bit to decide what exactly is going on with you and that crazy cat lady/voices/etc. but otherwise looks good. (I actually have an idea already, though)
Simple, your backstory looks good. You should be aware that Frank will be a primary suspect in his contact's death. Does he still have the book?
Hailfire, I won't be in the IRC for a bit tonight. Just post the sheet here (or pm it to me, if you want it to stay hidden for some reason), and I'll scrutinize it here/there.

Like I said, haven't looked at anyone's dot placement yet or anything. I'll get to that in a little bit.
