There are several Families on Fallcoast which PCs can app into for an established, ready-made playgroup. Things to bear in mind when apping into one of the Families:
- The Families are not Sphere-specific and will not be Sphere-exclusive.
- Family Status will be handled via the existing Status merit
- There are no additional mechanical benefits or drawbacks to joining a Family
If you wish to app into a Family, please join the Family channel to discuss your concept with existing members, to be sure your PC will mesh well with the Family theme and established RP. While players cannot outright approve or veto a PC concept, following this step will ensure that you will be able to start RP on your bit with a good relationship with the players already on grid. Please do not app in a PC with ties to an existing PC if the other player has not given their okay for this.
