All characters must be members of Clan Angliae, and therefore should be able to function reasonably well in upper class Victorian society

The Ride, Engineering and Stewardship abilities replace the Drive, Computer and Finance ability for obvious reasons

The Wealth background replaces the Resources background - note that you do not get a free house with the background, but rather the ability to maintain one. Houses, Mansions, Estates, Palaces, etc can be acquired separately IC. These do not cost additional XP.

All characters must have a Class Merit (some are free)

Characters who aren't Caucasian should check the Exotic Merit which depending on their character may be optional or mandatory

All PCs are either Fledgelings or recent arrivals in London with no significant influence or power. As such, players start without backgrounds. If you must have a background for your character concept, please contact the storyteller to see what can be done. Don't worry: backgrounds will be available during play

Be mindful that your character's gender will have a relevant influence on the game.

Certain unique details beyond the scope of the rules are allowed, but please talk to the Storyteller about it first.

The clan will provide some basic income, as well as a place to live which is decent for its members.
