You may take an Entitlement upon character creation if it is fitting to the back story and suits the character from the Core Changeling book.  However, if one is not taken then, we ask that you wait at least 6 months of play to becoming situated with your character.  With this, you may write two glimpses (one per month), or show us how it has come to play in scenes with your character.  You do not need a plot run by an ST to gain an entitlement, but it should make sense with your character.

Characters must be in play at least 6 months to become eligible for an Entitlement. This way, your character will be able to build in characters experiences as well as XP which will help explain your character's entrance into their chosen entitlement. After the six months have passed, and you gain permission to enter the entitlement (which can be done through a request on your character sheet, like an XP purchase submission), you will write two glimpses that show both why your character is entering the entitlement, and how they enter it (such as meeting a mentor for the first time). You do not need a plot run by an ST to gain an entitlement, but it should make sense with your character.
