The other major thing to consider is your character's name. There are common Clan names for the each of the various different Tribes, but these are stripped from the Fallen when they are cast out. A good source of inspiration for character names comes from popular names in modern-day Quebec, which you could then alter or bastardise somewhat. For example, David might become Divd or Davi, whereas Siobhan might become Chevon. Most Fallen have only one name, and perhaps a byname (“the Ox,” “the Wraith,” “the Hunter” or similar) they have earned through their deeds since Falling. You may be better off waiting to earn a byname in play than assigning one to yourself.


Once your character is done, email us at gm@fallingdown.chaosdeathfish.com along with a short public biography (a quick two sentence summary of what other people might know about you by reputation) for us to include on the game character page.
