Found a list for the merits/flaws. used that now. [hider=Sheet (outdated)] [img=http://student.umb.no/~henrgj/diverse/texarkana-ellri] [u]Some other details:[/u] [b]Gender:[/b] Female [b]Age:[/b] 17(9) [b]Appearance:[/b] [img=http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2012/025/6/5/653257a96f730d33c79958c5f60c3698-d4nm0je.jpg] Pretty much like this, only with some variation in clothing, depending on some abstract reason. No, the image is not our own artwork. We liberally borrowed it from DeviantArt. We'd make our own image, but that takes too long, and we no longer have a renderer we're familiar with. [b]Merits & Flaws:[/b] Higher Purpose (1 pt. Merit) Dual Nature (2 pt. Merit) Soft-Hearted (1 pt. Flaw) Concentration (1 pt. Merit) Amnesia (2 pt. Flaw) Acute Hearing (1 pt. Merit) Natural Linguist (2 pt. Merit) Luck (3 pt. Merit) Judicial Ties (2 pt. Merit) Short (1 pt. Flaw) Prey Exclusion (1 pt. Flaw) Inoffensive to Animals (1 pt. Merit) Prestigious Sire (1 pt. Merit) Insane Sire (1 pt. Flaw) [b]Brief history:[/b] From the Journal of Alodia: [i]We don't remember where we came from. Or do we? Cheese, said our father, our sire. That makes perfect sense, we think. It explains everything. In the end, everything comes down to fish. All logic leads there. You don't understand, you say? Pah. You are blind! You are all blind! Hold this torch into your left eye. Fire will open it. You will see better. We think. No! Don't hit us with that branch! Fish we say! Fish! We will not stand for this. Father will teach you, should you open your eyes. We remember studying science. And it all led to fish. Except language. That led to moose. We did not fit in with the others. They mocked us. Lied to us. Claimed our theories were ridiculous. We taught them otherwise. All that remains of their blood is now in my papers. No! You won't read them. They are ours. OURS! Northern Europe, we remember. Or is that from Father? It is hard to say. He is in here. He is everywhere. And nowhere. Moose. The theory of fish states all. Fear not. You will not die yet. Or will you? Chased walrus, we were. Fly, we did. Or was it swim? Matters not, it does. This place is home now. We like it here. Many fish. Ample blood. We like it.

Those 20 freebee points. Are they for merits/flaws or for anything? EDIT: We think maybe that requiring a certain balance of flaws vs. merits is wise. Just noticed that we ourselves used a bad balance there. (6 flaw points vs. 14 merit points). Also, maybe open up for flaws not on the list? The other flaws on the list simply did not fit with our concept. We're generally overfond of flaws in our characters, but still ended up with an imbalance. There are some vague ideas we have for flaws in our character that do not match any on the list.
