==Character Questionnaire==

==* '''[[Bacon(Character Questionnaire)|Character Questionnaire]]'''==
−
These questions must be answered as part of character creation.<br>
 
−
 
 
−
#Describe your character’s physical appearance.  <span style="color:DarkBlue">'''Words'''</span>
 
−
#Describe what it looks like when your character’s Nimbus manifests to those with Mage Sight. What does it look like when it bleeds over into mortal perceptions? (The Nimbus can be quite impressive to Mage Sight, but is always subtle to mortal perceptions.) <span style="color:DarkBlue">'''Words'''</span>
 
−
#Describe your character’s preferred Magical Tool, either a Path Tool or an Order Tool. If your character uses any Arcana Tools, describe those as well. Is there a background or back story to this item?  <span style="color:DarkBlue">'''Words  '''</span>
 
−
#When your character’s Unseen Senses trigger, what kind of sensation does your character experience? (This tends to be individual from mage to mage; some examples include a slight headache, a raising of the hairs on the back of the neck, goosebumps, a sudden change in temperature sensation, etc.)  <span style="color:DarkBlue">'''Words'''</span>
 
−

#Choose the Mage Sight your character uses most often. Describe to me how your character interprets the occult information granted by that spell; for instance, some mages perceive various Mage Sights as strains of music, strange smells, memory flashbacks from their own lives relevant to the information gained, physical sensations or other similar sensory input. Each form of Mage Sight usually has its own set of sensory symbols, often in line with aspects of the character’s personality, occult praxis or background.  <span style="color:DarkBlue">'''Words '''</span>
