The rules for Character Creation are held true with the rules in Laws of the Night: Revised Edition (LotN:R) with any and all exceptions noted below.
This chronicle strongly encourages characters to hold to the fifty years awake recommendation, meaning they should not have been active for more than fifty years, since this is increasingly difficult to play effectively. Also, at this time, characters more than 200 years old are strongly discouraged.
These are the clans that you are able to choose from without prior ST permission: Brujah, Caitiff, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, and Ventrue. All other clans and bloodlines must be approved by an ST. It is not necessarily that we don't want people playing them. It is merely a matter of being sure that any clans are played with certain concepts in mind that the ST will discuss with you. It is true that some clans and bloodlines are restricted in number to continue the idea of a rare/unusual clan.
All characters start on the morality path of Humanity unless otherwise allowed by an ST.
Backgrounds are limited to level three in any category without good reason, Generation is also capped at 12th, without Storyteller approval. All influence must be registered with the Influence ST. All actions with that influence should be written on a card and submitted or sent via email. At character creation, influence may be purchased up to level three in any category. The special rule for Sabbat listed in LotN:R is enforced.
Within the Abilities section of this manual are listed any restrictions on whether or not a character may acquire them. As per LotN:R, all characters start with five pips for the acquisition of abilities prior to use of any negative points.
Up to five points may be gained from taking negative traits in any of the three categories. No more than three may be selected in a single category. As many as seven points of flaws may be used to acquire negative points. A derangement may be taken to gain two points toward the negative points total. In addition, there are five freebie points allowed. Characters may apply up to 19 points worth of negative points (if you max all sources) to increase traits, abilities, disciplines, influence and merits, though you may choose to take more than 19 points of negatives for role-playing purposes. Unlike in LotN:R, a character cannot take 2 freebie points in exchange for a morality trait. You may purchase more than the seven points of merits recommended in the LotN:R with special ST permission.
The three free pips for disciplines and negative points may be spent only up to the second Basic level. The first Intermediate or higher level disciplines may not be purchased using negative points. This rule is only lifted for Nosferatu, so that they may purchase Mask of 1000 Faces.
For Tremere, only the primary path of Thaumaturgy is considered to be in-clan. Secondary paths may be purchased using negative points up to first basic. Further rules regarding Tremere and Thaumaturgy may be found in the Thaumaturgy section.
Milledgeville allows the transfer of up to ten points of saved experience from one character to the next. This is not open to discussion, so please don't come to us with your wonderfully creative ideas of why you're so much cooler than anyone else. The special rule for Sabbat listed in LotN:R is enforced. No characters may enter the game with out-of-clan disciplines if they are Camarilla loyal. This is a special advantage for Sabbat characters. The additional Discipline level granted to Sabbat PCs may be used to purchase a Basic level of an out-of-clan discipline that is one of the eight common disciplines.
Any shelved character may be recalled as a PC with ST approval. Retired characters can be recalled as PCs with approval from both the Character ST and the Narrator's Council.
Milledgeville is currently awarding experience for a background write up and for a haven description. There must be at least two pages of background and a map is required for the haven write up.

The Milledgeville game is not distinguishing between Sabbat and Camarilla Natures as such that only those within a certain sect may take a certain Nature. Any character may take any of the Natures listed below. A player may petition for a Nature or Demeanor not listed below but final approval is at the discretion of the Character ST. When choosing a Nature you should be aware of the potentially destructive guidelines concerning the morality path your character may be on. For example, Characters on the Path of Humanity are recommended to not take Torturer as a Nature. Characters that disregard their Nature, will likely be required to make a Morality test, or they may even have Morality stripped without a test, by an ST. Your Nature is the foundation of your own strength, which is used to overcome many struggles, including The Beast. If you violate your nature, you will be subjected to a Morality test
