==Characters==
All characters will be magi. Even though this is a ''World of Darkness'' game, and other supernatural types could be shoe-horned in, they would be at a tremendous disadvantage. 

In this game it's critical that the players begin as relatively normal people with relatively normal lives until they receive their calling. They need to have ties. 

In addition to the standard character sheet, I will expect each player to write a list of no less than six friends and family that the character values. Each of these characters may be detailed to any degree that the player desires, down to a complete sheet and their own background, but at minimum each must have a name and an occupation. These characters may be called upon by the player character for minor aid, such as a place to stay or a few bucks, but should otherwise not have useful knowledge or skills that could impact the course of play. 

Also, a brief history of the character should be written up; detailing jobs, romantic entanglements, and other significant events in the character's life up to his or her awakening. As with the friends and relatives, this may be as detailed as you wish to make it. If it lacks sufficient detail, I will ask a few questions and fill it out for you.
