I feel oddly obligated to throw a hand up from the back of the class and say "Um, teach? Can I join?". For real, though. 5 members? If Ling is going through some low membership issues I will gladly offer to un-shelf Kyle. Is Changeling, in fact, open?

Changeling is open and I believe with Forn's approved character today is up to 7.
Kyle is unavailable; he was dropped mid-scene and the issue of his Fame/Fetch/etc was never resolved. You're welcome to submit a new character.

Hello. So. Concepts. I have two right now. I've only taken a cursory look at the story threads themselves, so I'm not sure which one, if either, will be appropriate, but I'm just going to throw them up here for right now. Hopefully this is an acceptable format. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?
Concept 1: Angry (Scary?) Librarian
The character is either a wizened author or a darkling antiquarian, and is in the summer court. Prior to her durance, she worked as a librarian and a moderately successful short story writer. She was taken by her Keeper to produce stories as payment for a debt he owed to another True Fae. Once the debt was paid he threw her into the hedge. She came out near her southern Oregon hometown, and worked with an old friend to kill her fetch. She was happy to live there quietly, but then her friend was killed. For various reasons, she blames Fairweather for his death. She came to Sacramento to be on the front lines. Unfortunately, she might find that she's in over her head.
Concept 2: A Friend Seeking Friends
The character is a fairest playmate(?). She and her friends were on a road trip celebrating their graduation from high school when they came across a rather nasty trod. Her friends were taken by one of the True Fae. She was not. This didn't stop her from chasing after her friends once the police proved useless. She tracked down the Fae in question and traded her willing service for the freedom of her friends. Which was exactly what the Fae wanted in the first place. Unfortunately for the Fae, she then proceeded to make friends with all the other changelings in the realm, forcing the Fae to either release her from her promise to serve the Fae willingly, or free all the other slaves. She managed to escape some time after that. She has come to Sacramento because the last thing anyone heard about either of her friends was that one of them had checked himself into a nearby asylum. She doesn't really want to get involved in the battle with Fairweather, but she has a tendency to decide that a person is her friend after talking to them for no more than ten minutes, and, as proven, she will do anything for her friends.
Thoughts?

To comment on the first idea, having specific knowledge of an antagonist from halfway across the world might seem a little odd. Sure, the Wyrd works in mysterious ways, but it might be safer to have her form opinions of Fairweather after she's been told about him by the Freehold.
To caveat to that, the second one is more plausible as it's suggested. She comes to Sacramento but does not make herself known to the Freehold until the Fairweather incident is over? Sure. I can see drama hooks in there, too (so I hope you don't mind character conflict).
As far as kith and all that is concerned, I'd say play what will be more fun for you. Hope this helps, and look forward to meeting a new Changeling!
Thank you Travis! It'll probably be a while before I've got the character the way I want it, but I look forward to seeing you in play.
Quick question: if there is no dedicated ST, where or to whom should I submit my character for final consideration?

To my knowledge, character submissions go through West. He isnt actively role playing but he still moderates. So he will get the notification when you do submit a sheet.
Hey again, and Happy New Year! I think that I've got this mostly worked out. This is mostly mechanical information. The overall backstory for this character is mostly the same as what I posted above, but I'm keeping the extra details to myself for now!
I think that the only thing I have left to decide is what virtue to pick. I think that either fortitude or charity would work based on the backstory, but I can't decide which one fits better.
Tell me what you think.

This is onlyaccentuated by her dark hair, and her tendency to wear white andblack clothes. She always wears a silver snowflake on a chain aroundher neck.
Mein: Laverne's eyes are a luminous,pellucid blue that rivals the colors of the sky. Her hair is dark,midnight black, and is braided with silver beads, bones, pearls,shards of ice, leaves, and blue flowers (mostly forget-me-nots,periwinkles, and nigella, but others sometimes make an appearance). The leaves and flowers are a recent addition, courtesy of her mantle. Her skin is pale, almost pearly, with only a faint pink blush in hercheeks and lips. Her nails, veins and soles of her feet are silver. There are silver rings around her ankles, flush with her skin. Herteeth are literally pearl white. When she is cut, her blood is mixedwith flecks of silver.

She also providesstress relief. Laverne isn't very nice to Autumn. (If asked about Autumn, Laverne willclaim that she's a cousin, rather than her fetch. There was a bit ofunpleasantness concerning Autumn's continued existence in Laverne'sprevious Freehold, and Laverne is wary of causing that unpleasantnessto repeat itself in Sacramento.)

Looks okay from what I can see.
Up the age a bit. I believe there is a site house rule that no character can be under 21 years of age (either chronologically or physically under that age).
You may wish to rework your Physical stats as once in play, you won't be able to improve 1 dot stats for the first six (6) months of active play (another old site rule).
Retainer won't work. You probably need Mentor to set up the Fetch relationship the way you envision.
Thats all I can think of off the top of my head.
