What's with this three weaknesses thing?
All characters in the game must have at least three weaknesses. This is to ensure that characters are well balanced and, at the end of the day, flaws and weaknesses can really make a character interesting. Nobody's perfect.
One thing to note is that every character must begin the game with a minimum of three weaknesses (if you wish to take more, that's fine and if you take more weaknesses, you will be able to take more strengths - the aim is the creation of a well balanced character) and they must have at least three weaknesses throughout the game. We recognise that a character may have a weakness which they work to overcome, and this can make a great storyline. We encourage this. However, if they do overcome it and it ceases to be a weakness taking them below three weaknesses, this much be replaced by a new one.
The other thing to note is that we're looking for balanced characters. That is, we're looking for characters who have weaknesses that equal, if not exceed their strengths. Weaknesses, flaws in a character make for more interesting characters - nobody likes someone who is great at everything. This is especially true in a supernatural game where characters have ubercool powers. When considering your characters weaknesses, we will take into account what you've put down as their powers and what you've put down as their special abilities as well as what you've put down as their weaknesses. If we feel a character is out of balance, they're not going to be accepted and the application will be bounced back to you and you'll be asked to edit.
