CallMeCanon
This is an overview of my various fan builds, house rules, etc. and how they all fit together with each other, with the official canon, and with other fan builds.
(I want to apologize in advance for how messy my page histories are; I'm not very good about checking "minor edit" when appropriate. I'm working on getting better at that ^_^ )

The CallMeCanon

On this, and on all my pages, please leave comments on the Talk page. Thanks! :)
Pretty much all of my builds reference or are related to one another in some way; they really are all part of a connected canon (the CallMeCanon, if you will ^_^ ). You are of course welcome to use bits and pieces in your own campaign if you like, but you will probably have to do some homebrewing to disconnect it from the other pieces.
Like so.
Anything labeled in this image as "Borrowed from elsewhere" not credited on this page was borrowed from my Storyteller.
House Rules
Chakras (Based on my Storyteller's adaptation of the Renown system from cWoD)
In addition to that, I also have all Celestial Exalts spend EXP with the Solar Price Chart (Bonus Points stay segregated). The Mandate of Heaven and Solar Rule work great within the story, but for balanced and fair gameplay mechanics while running a mixed campaign... it doesn't work nearly as well. For the sake of equity among the party, all Celestial Exalts use the same price sheet. (Terestrials still have their power dampeners on; if you want to have Celestial power as a Dragon-Blooded, you have one path available to you.) (Well, two if you count Immaculate Mastery.)
New Background: Past Lives. (Based on the official Infernal canon, but is available for anybody)
Lytek cleans the Exaltations of all their memories when he receives the shard before passing it on to the next incarnation. However, sometimes some memories slip through the cracks, and the overall patterns etched by the memories will always remain. With dots in Past Lives, you are able to draw on those memories, or see into those patterns, and remember things from your previous incarnation(s).
x None. You have no knowledge of any of your prior Exaltations.
• You remember the Motivation of a single prior Exaltation.
•• You remember two Motivations and three Intimacies, spread across a maximum of three prior Exaltations.
••• You remember three Motivations and four Intimacies, spread across a maximum of four prior Exaltations. You also have a single more detailed memory of one scene from a past Exaltation's life.
•••• You remember five Motivations and ten Intimacies, spread across a maximum of fifteen Exaltations. You also have three more detailed memories of scenes from past Exaltations' lives.
••••• You can, if pressed, recall all the Motivations and Intimacies of any and every of your prior Exaltations. You also have up to ten more detailed memories of scenes from past Exaltations' lives.
