Player Character Background on the linked pages is not considered ingame knowledge except for physical description. Every Player may add a ''Profile'' section between a Characters physical Description and a Characters Background on his profile page. This profile is considered common knowledge among player characters.

''All kindred in town have a profile page. Player Characters shall attach a Charactersheet. It is possible to attach an out-game Background to your Profile. Profiles are automatic in-game knowledge. Everything else is out-game knowledge unless revealed in the In-Character thread. Otherwise we end up with 50 pages''

:A NSC Kindred is always linked as if (s)he had an individual page. If one kindred has a ''no'' individual page then there is not enough ingame knowledge available to justify an individual page. Check out [[Amsterdam_by_Night/NSC_Kindred | NSC Kindred]] first.

==== Allies ====
 
−
Allies refers to mortal allies from your former life. Kindred you influence are a bit more powerful then mortals. So they fall into a different category
 
−
:See also:
 
−
*Clan Members don't count for Allies as Allies dots
 
−
*Boons(1pt to 6pt Merit) vs. Prestation Gifts (2pt - 6pt Flaw)
 
−
*Childe, loyal (3pt)
 
−
*Companions, Spouses, True Love ...
 
−
 
−
==== Duties and Offices ====
 
−
There are several duties in a vampiric city. Duties are assigned at players whim. Duties how ever are duties. Holding an office is a honorable position, but also some work.
 
−
 
−
Typical offices are : ''keeper of the Elysium'',''harpy'',''sheriff'' or ''prince''
 
−
 
−
Further there are typical effects of being an elder: Holding a domain. Domains are granted by the prince, but elders often claim a domain - and a prince will often accept this to avoid unnecessary casualties. How ever both a granted and a claimed domain cause some work or they are meaningless. Letting it come to public that the Sabbat should hide out in ones domain would be very juicy gossip till the situation has been handled properly.

−

−
Player characters are intended to have a Generation between and including ''10 to 6'' using Elder Generation as Background.
 
−
 
−
This is a bitter world and there are diablolists out there. So a character with a Generation of 9 or better automatically a target. The better the generation the more vampires are after your blood. 8th and 9th Generation attracts usually some weak enemies, while true elder generations (7th and 6th) attract serious hunters. Generations that are 5th or closer to the biblical father are of course targeted by many and even strong kindred.

Especially traditional additional languages in Netherlands would be German (eastern area) or French (southern area) - both have historical and minority ties. Many Dutch speak one of these two languages and their choice is often tied with some pride on their side and a slightly derogative position towards the other fraction. Young ones usually learn English in school.
 
−
* We use the European Exponential Method for foreign languages.
 
−
* First it is assumed that Player Characters speak Dutch.
