| − | This page will be renamed to the campaign's official name once recruitment and character creation are complete. Until then, it would give too much away. By definition, the protagonists of a portal fantasy don't know where they're going or what they're going to find there.

| − | This is not an exhaustive list of possibilities. If there's a one- or two-point power in the book that you want to base a character around, and none of the templates below have it, let me know and I'll try to put something together for you.

| − | You have an unusually strong bond to a particular kind of animal, such as wolves, tigers, hawks, bears, capybaras, etc. This bond is so strong that it colors your whole personality. It also gives you power. It might run in the family, or it might be yours alone; you might have found others with a like affinity, or you might not.

| − | === Medium ===
| |
| − | To you, the world is an eerie, ghost-haunted place. You see beyond the veil, all the time. Maybe your parents laughed off your childhood "imaginary friends," or maybe your talent didn't appear until later in life—perhaps after a near-death experience? In any case, you see spirits, and spirits see you.
| |

| − | === Seeker ===
| |
| − | There's something out there, some deeper truth. It's your life's quest to find the reality behind the hollow mockery that is quotidian life on Earth. Someday you will hatch from your humdrum existence like a bird from a shell. You've already learned to see beyond the veil a little. Unfortunately, all the gurus and masters you've consulted aren't much more advanced than that themselves—if they're not outright frauds. It seems that true magic is hard to come by.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Musts:''' Your high concept must key into the idea of the search for mystic enlightenment (or power). You must take the Sight [–1] (p. 174) to reflect your developing mystic awareness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Options:''' You may also take Soulgaze [–0] (p. 174) (discounted due to the Sight).

| − | === Shadow-Walker ===
| |
| − | For some reason, you've always felt at home in the darkness. Daytime is boring, tiring, oppressive; night brings you to vibrant life. A lot of folks call themselves "night people," but you really ''are'' one.
| |

| − | === True Dreamer ===
| |
| − | Waking, you're just a normal Joe or Jane, but when you sleep, you sometimes see things that are about to happen. Sometimes you can even do something when you wake up about the things you saw while asleep.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Musts:''' A high concept related to your sleeping visions. You must take the new power True Dreamer [–1], which functions similarly to Cassandra's Tears (p. 172) but without the social penalty. Directing your dreams to a particular subject calls for a Discipline roll.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Options:''' If your dreaming powers are starting to bleed over into your waking life, you may take the Sight [–1] (p. 174) and possibly Soulgaze [–0] (p. 174) (discounted due to the Sight).

| − | === Truly Faithful ===
| |
| − | There is a Higher Power, with a purpose and a plan for the whole Universe, and you strive to discern and do Its bidding. You may focus this devotion through an established religion, or through personal spiritual practices. Whatever route you take, your faith is the center of your life.
