WELCOME TO BECOMING
e
Inspired by the lifepaths system found in the Cyberpunk TTRPGs, BECOMING
presents you with ideas to help you build a character for Vampire: The Masquerade in
table format. Take a d and roll with each table to learn more about your character’s
life, personal style, and motivations, or pick the options you like the most. Then,
elaborate. The options provided are starting points meant to fit into any chronicle,
not complete answers, so add in details that jive with your world and the other
players. Make sure to record everything you pick on the included Character Story
Worksheet so you don’t forget any details.

e
You can also pick out a table on the fly to add a detail to an existing character, or
do a few rolls to quickly generate an NPC. Use a single table, a select few, or try all of
them. There’s no right or wrong way to go about it. Whatever you choose, be kind to
your fellow players and have fun.
A NOTE ON SAFE PLAY
Sa
m
Vampire: The Masquerade is a game of personal and political horror. The stories
told within it often contain elements which may be frightening or disturbing
for some people. As you develop your character, remember to consult with your
storyteller and fellow players to ensure that everyone’s needs are respected.
The options in this supplement are just that: options. If, in the course of using this
supplement, you roll something which you are uncomfortable portraying, you are
encouraged to reroll or pick something else. No one should ever feel that they have to
play a character which they find distressing to portray.
All new players are encouraged to read the Core Book’s Appendix III: Advice on
Considerate Play (pg 419) and make use of the lines and veils system.
Remember: This is a game about monsters, not an excuse to be one.

THE KINE
What was your upbringing like?
fil
e
Before you died, before you even knew that life beyond death
was possible, you were kine. An ordinary human, living a normal
life. In this section, you’ll learn about the life you left behind.
pl
e
Once upon a time, you were a child, dependent on others
to care for you. Scientists may argue over whether nature or
nurture has a bigger impact on who you become, but your
upbringing does shape a part of you. What sort of home did
you live in? What were your family members like? How did
that time influence who you are now?
I raised myself because my parents were absent. I was
independent from an early age, for better or worse.
2
I was middle class and never wanted for much, except for
excitement. I was constantly bored of my life.
3
I didn’t have a stable home and moved around a lot. I found it
hard to settle down anywhere.
4
I had helicopter parents who were always watching. I had no
privacy and didn’t get to make my own choices.
5
I was extremely spoiled and given whatever I wanted. I lacked
self control because I never needed it.
6
I lived in an unsafe environment with little supervision. I stayed
away from home as often as I could.
7
I was pressured to do well in everything I tried. I was afraid of
the consequences of failing at anything.
8
I had separated parents and moved between their homes. I
often played mediator for their fights.
9
I was the scapegoat whenever anything went wrong. I
resented being blamed when it wasn’t my fault.
10
I took care of an ailing relative. I never had a chance to put
myself first or be a kid.

Imagine the most difficult, life-altering situation you’ve been
through. Maybe it happened to you or someone you were close
to, or maybe it was an event in the wider world. Everyone has a
moment where it felt like everything was turned upside down
and they weren’t sure how they were going to make it to the next
day. This is the most difficult moment of your mortal existence.

1
It radically changed my personality.
How did that incident affect you?
2
I retreated from society to be alone.
3
I found a new religion/spiritual practice.
When everything came crashing down, what
happened? How did you make it through, and what
did that do to you? Your strength and weakness in the
moments of greatest stress leave a long-lasting impact
on your psyche and flavor your reactions to this night.
4
I developed some bad habits.
5
I pushed myself harder at something.
6
I lost faith in something important to me.
7
I gave up on a long-time dream.
8
It gave me a new purpose in life.
9
It caused me to make poor decisions.
10
It made me cling to something.
What did you do for a living?
Money can be exchanged for goods and services. For most kine, the best way to obtain money is by working.
Whether you pursued the career of your dreams with absolute focus or hated every monotonous day of
employment, your job shaped your skills and perspective.
