Kinain

Kinain Character Creation
The following is a step-by-step guide to creating a Kinain character for WoD: White Pine. The information here may be altered to conform to room and venue-specific rules, and takes precedence over other sources (be it the books themselves, or online resources, including those approved for room use).


 * Character Concept
 * Character Name
 * Heritage - (Which kith your character is related to, by blood).


 * Court - Seelie or Unseelie.
 * Legacies - (One of each Seelie Legacies and Unseelie Legacies. Romantic Legacies are optional and are to be taken in addition to standard Legacies, not in their place.)
 * House - Applicable only for characters with Sidhe heritage, and optional even then. Descent from a particular Sidhe house may have minor affects on temperament, but no in-game advantages; kinain very rarely swear House oaths or are almost never granted House titles.
 * Motley/Oathcircle - (Again, if applicable.)


 * Select Attributes


 * Prioritize the three categories: Physical, Social, Mental. (6/4/3) (These stats start at 1.)


 * Select Abilities

Free: One dot in Lore with a specialty of Kithain (or the specific Kith that the character is related to)
 * Prioritize the three categories: Talents, Skills, Knowledges. (11/7/4) (These stats start at 0 and cannot exceed 3 before Freebies are spent).


 * Select Advantages

Arts (1): Select 1 dot of an Art. This only applies if your character has had experience with the fae; unaware Kinain do not begin with Arts or Realms.
 * Birthright: Select ONE of the birthrights associated with the heritage kith.
 * Backgrounds (5) - This may include the Kinain-specific Faerie Blood background. It may not include Dreamers, Holdings, Remembrance, Retinue, or Title.
 * Realms (2): Two dots of realms. 1 of these must be in the kith's affinity realm; the other may be in any other Realm.
 * Mage, Garou, or Vampire Kinain cannot have Glamour, Arts, or Realms. Additional Arts and Realms can be learned by normal Kinain only with the IC tutelage of a Kithain character.
