The first step of character generation is inspiration; a concept of what to play. At this stage, determine who your character is, what their personality is like and what their goals could be. A well-developed character should have personality quirks, both good and bad, that make the character a living, not-breathing, real figure who can be imagined as part of a novel. Your concept should explain how and why the character was embraced and what made this character a good choice for a clan, as well as hint at personality traits that may later come to life as beast traits and inhumanities. Being someone's Childe is a choice that reflects on Sire and often incurs serious debts; it is rarely something done lightly.
Other items that could fall within the parameters of the concept are: age, clan, sect, sex, ethnicity, country of origin, profession, goals, alliances, enmities or a specific OOC purpose.
