Character Creation Rules and Sheets
1. Background Generally, the larger your background, the better. Want to have learned to be a surgeon? Mention it in passing in the BG and how you have it, and you have the skills. You were once a fighter pilot of WW2 style aircraft? Not a problem. A mystical sage? Not a problem. A vampire? Not a problem...(in the right shadow). A Robotech mechanic? Not a problem. Learned to pickpocket on the streets of Faraquer? Not a problem. If you can justify an ability based on your BG, I'll likely allow it.
2. I'd rather start things with mostly Amber characters, or their descendants, but I will accept a few Logrus players. Powers made by the players will be considered, as will point bids for important positions in Amber or Chaos if you contact the ST by PM. Also, we'll be avoiding an auction first time out, so you'll end up with even less info about your fellow players than usual. We'll be doing a 150 point game to start, though once we're out of the gates, you'll never see your true character sheet again. Contribution points will also be awarded to those who might want to help me create a web page for the campaign. Please remember to send me a wish list too, and change it anytime. And remember when dealing with stuff...
3. Contribution points of all sorts are welcome. They need to be sent to and/or approved by the ST.
4. The grand-scale creation rules can be found here
5. Please try to use the provided character sheet.

Shadow laws will change based on the shadow. You may apply for shadow specific powers in your BG which will not cost points (ex. In your home shadow you are a wizard, but since you don't know how to cast spells in other shadows you are not buying Sorcery. If this changes you'll need to buy the ability.) and you can feel free to start, hang out, or live in any shadow you like, though if you're not starting in Amber or an Amber knowledgable shadow you may find your introduction to Amber... somewhat traumatic.

Your character's physical description... and perhaps emotional if you wish
Your character's background goes here. Make it as in-depth as possible for your own
good.
This is where you put your wishlist of powers and ability increases. Along with each desired thing put whether or not you're willing to take bad stuff for it. At the end of your wishlist mark how much bad stuff you're willing to take for any of the abilities you're willing to take bad stuff for.
If you so desire you can fill out a quiz to fill in more data about your character. Here are a few example questions:
1. What is there about your character that might lead others to dislike him/her?
2. What is your character�s greatest desire?
3. What is your character�s darkest secret?
4. What is your character�s deepest fear?
5. Who was your character�s first love? And what has happened to him/her?
6. what was the color of your first horse? When did you get him?
7. What kind of games did your character play as a child? Who did they play with?
8. What is your favorite color?
