Mage: The Ascension

See Making a Character for explanations of the rare and restricted lists, or go back to the spheres list.

As this is a game with active storytelling and a metaplot, Player Characters must be created to mesh with that theme. As a result, Marauder and Nephandi-aligned Player Characters will not be permitted.

Open concepts:

• Technocratic Union-aligned characters, enlightened or not
• Traditions-aligned characters, awakened or not

Unenlightened Technocratic Union agents are open. They get the full stats of an enlightened agent, but are not allowed to take Arete, Genius, Spheres, Awareness, or other traits tied to enlightenment.

Unawakened Traditions-aligned characters are open. They are allowed to use the character generation for Kinfolk, excluding shifter-specific stats. This opens them to the Numina rules.

Rare concepts:

• Disparate-aligned characters, awakened or not

Unawakened Disparate-aligned characters are rare. They are allowed to use the character generation for Kinfolk, excluding shifter-specific stats. This opens them to the Numina rules.

Restricted concepts:

• Nephandi and their allies
• Marauders
• Pentex-affiliated Technocrats
