character design and development

Hi all,

I asked on Recruitment: Players Looking for Games whether there is a Maga or Magus interested to take an apprentice and silveroak responded that Praesidium Orae has some Maga offspring that might need a player. I wouldn't mind waiting another 5 years to take over a completely blank sheet character or take Bravery if raccoonmask is only planning to take him because nobody else is (not sure from briefly following the discussion what is the case).

If the troupe is interested in having me as a player, how should we best proceed?
I am new to PbP and relatively new to ArM5 (I started or am about to start playing in Bad Apples), I played a bit of ArM4 back in the days. After that we played WoD and nobody took the task to lead another Ars Saga.

If I see that correctly the Ex Miscelanea tradition will be Praxologist, involving

Virtues: Inventive Genius, Comprehend Magic
Flaw: Chaotic Magic

not Fertility Magic in particular, is that about right? My long term goals would then probably involve following my mater and her parens in integrating some ancient magic into hermetic magic myself (I thought about Canaan Necromancy). WDYT?

I am completely blank on Fertility Magic, so I have no idea how that interacts with character creation. What is the most important thing I should read about?

Best
Jan
