=== Backgrounds ===

Representing advantages of relationships, circumstances and opportunity, Backgrounds are a measure of a character’s internal and external resources. As with Attributes and Abilities, at CC your character’s Backgrounds should be based on essential elements of your character’s history. During the creation process you’ll start with seven free Background Traits to assign.

=== Record your character’s Affinity Sphere ===

There are nine [[Spheres]], each of which represent a certain element of reality. In game terms they represent a mage’s ability to manipulate that aspect of reality. Each [[Tradition]] has a heritage of study that covers one Sphere in great depth. It is this heritage that determines your character’s Specialty Sphere.

After marking one level in your Specialty Sphere, you will be able to assign an additional five free levels of Spheres to any of your choosing. Note that your maximum level of a Sphere is capped by your character’s Arete; in other words, if your [[Arete]] is 2, you can only have two levels in any given sphere.

In total, at CC, your character will get six levels of Spheres to spread among the nine Spheres of magick understanding.
