Virtues

While virtues are traits presented in the Vampire books, they are part of the mortal character generation. Every type of character (Mage, Werewolf, Sorceror, Changeling) all start of as mortal who experience something that changes them. Such as Awakening, First Change, Chrysalis. Just because you change from a mortal to a supernatural doesn't mean you stop having a connection being who you use to be, and we feel they are important for a characters personality.

All pre-made characters will have virtues. Custom chargens will not.

Conscience

Conscience is a Trait that allows characters to evaluate their conduct with relation to what is “right” and “wrong.” A character’s moral judgment with Conscience stems from her attitude and outlook. Conscience factors into the difficulty of many rolls to avoid committing a transgression. A character with a high Conscience rating feels remorse for transgressions, while a character with a lower Conscience may be more callous or ethically lax. • Uncaring •• Normal ••• Ethical •••• Righteous ••••• Remorseful

Self-Control

Self-Control defines a character’s discipline. Characters with high Self-Control rarely succumb to emotional urges, and are thus able to restrain their darker sides more readily than characters with low Self-Control. • Unstable •• Normal ••• Temperate •••• Hardened ••••• Total self-mastery

Courage

All characters have a Courage Trait. Courage is the quality that allows characters to stand in the face of fear or daunting adversity. It is bravery, mettle, and stoicism combined. A character with high Courage meets her fears head-on, while a character of lesser Courage may flee in terror. • Timid •• Normal ••• Bold •••• Resolute ••••• Heroic
