Addition of 9.B. to the Character Regulation Bylaws
Open Votes
As council member of Winchester, Virginia: Sins in the Valley, I propose the following addition, 9. B., to the Character Regulation Bylaws of OWBN:
9. Rare and Unusual
(The R&U Bylaws, Section 9, has been made into its own Bylaw document, per the 12/18/08 vote.)
A. All characters, PC or NPC, be they played or portrayed by player, chronicle or Coordinator, must comply with the Rare and Unusual Bylaw Document.
B. All characters of R&U classification, PC or NPC, following approval, must be logged with the Archivist.
In order to maintain consistency, the following changes will also be made to the R&U Bylaws:
2. Classifications of Rare & Unusual Categories
A. Genre Coordinators may propose a category assignment or re-assignment for any element type that is not well captured by these guidelines.
B. Restrictions and Definitions of the Classification Categories:
i. Unique:
1. PC: Majority Vote, NPC: Majority Vote and logged with the Archivist
a. All characters published in White Wolf books.
b. Historical figures, real-life persons.
c. Fictional personas used as character concepts (ex: Caine, Vlad “Dracula†Tepes, the vampire Lestat, former President Bill Clinton, Sir Lancelot, wrestling person “The Rockâ€, etc.)
ii. Very Rare:
1. PC: 2/3 Majority Vote, NPC: Simple Majority Vote and logged with the Archivist
a. Characters of very small groups in the World of Darkness.
b. Creatures of very extreme power levels.
iii. Rare:
1. PC: Majority Vote, NPC: Notification to Council and logged with the Archivist
a. Includes characters of small groups and bloodlines
b. Characters of a power level where free inter-game interaction could become a concern.
c. Characters of types considered fringe to a main genre.
Reason: As R&U classifications shift, it would make sense to keep record of all characters that have been approved, not just some of them, as is currently required by the rules.
