Secondary Abilities:
One thing that Wyrm Punk wants you to take a look at when you are building your character is balance, and the role-playing capability of the character. If the character isn't going to be fun and three dimensional, then it isn't going to interact very well with the game. We here at Wyrm Punk understand that you may not have the character’s personality built when you submit the character, but we want to make sure that you have a character that you can allow to grow and enjoy.
When you build your character, we here at Wyrm Punk want you to think about what your character enjoys doing, and what interesting things he has done in the past. This is what sets this character a part from all the others within the World of Darkness. Is it that he knows how to build excellent boats? Was he a used Car Salesman in his mortal life? Was he a Cook?
All of these aspects will allow you to detail your character with secondary abilities. If you made boats for a living then you might want to pick up Boat Making, if you were a cook, maybe you have the skill cooking. A used car salesmen would have maybe a bit of pan handling. Secondary abilities will help you find who your character is, and why.
Important Secondary Abilities for WP Sabbat:
Sabbat Lore
This knowledge allows both Wyrm Punk and you as a player to know how much information your character knows about the Sabbat. Not every Sabbat knows everything that there is to know about the Sabbat. A good number of Sabbat never know about the Code of Milan, or that there own sect has had several civil Wars in the past.
Camarilla Lore
A trait that is very important to any character that is a convert from the Camarilla. This trait will help let us know how involved you were with the Camarilla. This allows you to know not only what the positions of power are, but their traditions, and their History. Something that a lot of Sabbat do not know. This is a very powerful Secondary Ability indeed, but a dangerous one as well.
Clan Lore
This is a very important trait to every kindred or Cainite. Be it Sabbat, or Convert. This trait reflects the amount of knowledge that you have on a particular Clan, yours or another. The higher the rating the more involved you may have been with these beings. Like any other trait this is one that needs to be explained, especially if you are not of this Clan that you know about. (Be sure to select the specific Clan you know about. You must take this knowledge individually per each Clan.)
Kindred Lore
A very broad Knowledge, but useful in many ways, Cainites and Kindred as well love to speak of the ancient times, and what are to come. This knowledge brings the many legends and stories to life through the eyes of the character. This trait allows the character to know verses of the Book of Nod, and the many clans in existence, from the destruction of ancient Clans and Blood lines to some of the ancient prophecies of the coming final nights.
Important Secondary Abilities for WP Dancers of the Black Spiral:
Wyrm Lore
This is a very important aspect to the Black Spiral Dancers. Not only does it reflect their education on their own Culture, but it also covered many of the other Facets of the Wyrm itself. This like other Lore knowledge in the Wyrm Punk game requires some OOC knowledge. If you are creating a character with Wyrm Lore of 3, and you are not that educated on the Wyrm, then it is not a good idea to take this Lore.
Sometimes the Story Teller will ask you to spend some experience so that toy can raise your Wyrm Lore up, when an ST asks you to do it, it is very important that you do so, this allows the Wyrm Punk crew to make sure that we build stories that suit your character best.
Wyrm Lore is a very dangerous Knowledge, for ever dot that you have over your willpower that you have in this knowledge, you are gifted with one derangement on the character.
Garou Lore
This is a knowledge that reflects your character education upon the History, Tribes (and reputations.), and even partial knowledge on other were breeds of the World of Darkness.
If you were a Garou who was of a greater Rank within the Gaian Society coming over to the Black Spiral Dancers, you would most likely have one dot or so in this Knowledge.
