Kinain Character Creation
The following are the guidelines for creating Kinain (Fae Kin) in Vegas in Shadow.


Choose Legacies:
Seelie and Unseelie

Choose Seeming:
Childling, Wilder, or Grump. This relates to their actual physical age.

Choose Heritage:
Kinain take on appearances related to the kith (Pooka, Ogre, Sluagh) that is strongest in their lineage. Pages 14-15 in The Enchanted give details on what to expect for appearances.

Record beginning Glamour, Willpower, and Banality:
These are based on their seemings, and it differs from the stats used for Changeling.

Childling
Glamour � 4
Willpower � 1
Banality � 2

Wilder
Glamour � 3
Willpower � 3
Banality � 4

Grumps
Glamour � 2
Willpower � 5
Glamour � 6

Attributes
6/4/3

Abilities
11/7/4

Backgrounds
5
Anything above 3 must be explained sufficiently in the character's history.


Fae Gifts:
5
The character's degree of Faerie Blood defines how many Fae Gifts can be taken, one for each dot in the Faerie Blood background.

Please note, that Faerie Blood is something the characters are born with. It cannot be increased. Therefore, the Kinain will not learn any other fae gifts.

Flaws: Maximum of 7 freebie points can be gained by purchasing flaws.


Freebies
A character sheet with a history of at least three paragraphs gains 10 extra freebies.
The ST may prompt a player for more history if it is not felt that the history warrants the extra freebies.

Kinain have 21 freebie points to spend.

In this section, you may spend for changeling Arts and Realms, but only up to the level of dots that you have in fae blood. For example: if my character has two dots in fae blood, and I want her to learn Chicanery, she may only learn up to level two in that realm. I will be allowing Arts and Realms to be purchased only for characters that begin play with faerie mentor or gain one in the process of RP. Kinain that use arts are quite rare.

Attributes	5 points per dot
Abilities	2 points per dot
Secondary Abilities	2 points per dot
Backgrounds	1 point per dot
Willpower	1 point per dot
Glamour	3 points per dot
Arts	5 points per dot
Realms	3 points per dot

Merits/Flaws
All of the Merits and Flaws from CtD books are allowed but must be in line with the character concept and/or be explained sufficiently in the character history. Any Merit or Flaw that lists another person (Vampire Companion, True Love, etc) must have the other person played in the room by another mun. A maximum of seven extra freebie points may be gained from purchasing flaws. Further flaws may be taken but offer no additional points.

Buying off a Flaw requires ST approval and costs 2x the original cost of the Flaw.


Spending XP
It is not necessary to contact the ST for regular XP expenditures however certain things do require approval. Raising any background trait (Title, Resources, etc) will require ST approval and potentially an XP cost of 3x the background's current level. Please be responsible with XP expenditures. A character ought to have earned their new ability or Art.

Any restricted Art must have ST permission prior to being gained with XP. Raising any Art above 3 must also have the ST permission prior to being raised with ST. The ST has the right to deny any gains/raise in Arts.
