6) Click the yellow button on the upper right of the page that reads "Create a Character"
7) In the input box where it says "Unnamed" ... enter the name of your character.
8) Be sure the circle that says "Vampire the Masquerade" is selected and click the gray "Create" button.

In this picture you'll see we've indicated the "edit" link for the top section of your sheet. Go ahead and click that.10) Enter the name of a clan you want to play. If you're not spending player points your choices are: Brujah, Gangrel, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue. You can find descriptions of these clans here: http://myworldofdarkness.com/mgpedia/index.php?title=Category:Clans
11) In the box labeled sect you can choose which political faction your character is a part of. You can be part of: The Camarilla, The Independants, or The Anarchs. Descriptons of all the sects can be found here: http://myworldofdarkness.com/mgpedia/index.php?title=Category:Sects
12) In the box labeled sire you can put the name of the character who turned your character into a vampire. If you don't know yet, just put "Unknown."
13) In the boxes labeled nature & demeanor ... A character's nature is the type of person she is at her very heart - while her demeanor is who she pretends to be for the world to see. These things can be the same but this is rare as people are seldom so transparent. Choose one nature and one demeanor to start the game with. These may change with ST permission. You can find descriptions of the nature and demeanors on pages 73 & 74 of Laws of the Night Revised.
