-	~~==Approval==~~
-	Your character is not approved until a Storyteller says something to that effect. Once that happens, a few more things are necessary before beginning play. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask, either on your character sheets or in [http://nwod.org/chat/ Chat]. First off, you are required to set up a [[Form:Add_Vampire_Character\|Wiki Page]] for your new character and your [[Mini Character Sheets]] before you begin playing. You can also set up a [[Character_Accounts\|Character account]] (this is not mandatory, but some people prefer to).
