Alright so for organization reasons I’ve tried to gather the scattered details of characters in the next couple of posts. I’ve added a few comments.
We’ll do this one at a time.

You don’t have ‘rote skills’ or high speech because that requires and order. (Aside - are you looking to have you character join one at some point during the chronicle, or do you want to keep him more of an outsider?) However, you should still have:
Rotes - You have 6 dots to spend. To help keep the ‘raw power’ idea you could buy fewer high dot rotes (1 or two 3dot rotes).
Merits - I’m not sure this adds up. What’s the rule for raising your Gnosis with merits? I can’t seem to find it.
Specialties - You seem to be missing one. Was it suppose to be with subterfuge? There’s nothing between the brackets.
Experience - Did you do anything with it yet?
[sblock=background]
Place of Birth: Wheelright, Massachusetts
Relatives: Emily Faust (mother), Robert Faust (father)
Mentor: Charles Walker (real name unknown, (Forces Space Ruling), Tremere Lich)
Marital Status: Not attached
Occupation: Graduate History Student (University of Massachusetts)
Current Residence: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Born in a small rural town, Joseph found himself totally unprepared for awakening. It wasn't until college that he fully understood or could control his powers, and in that manner they remained a secret.
He used his status as a history major at UMass to research all things arcane, using all resources he could get his hands on at the library there. During his studies, he found another who shared his interests, Charles Walker, and the two grew fairly close. One day, Joseph entered Charles' study unanounced, only to find the other moving books around magically. Delighted at knowing another like himself, Joseph told Charles everything about his limited mystical career. In turn, Charles taught Joseph some of what he knew of magic.
Joseph learned much over the course of his time with Charles, learning about the essence of magic, Prime, Mind, and Time. However, he learned nothing of paradox, cabals, or orders. Only through natural caution did he not suffer from the first, nor the attention of the other two.
However, when graduation came around Charles had gained entry into the Tremere. Through his true name, Charles has repeatedly attacked Joseph, and only through luck has he survived thus far. Recently, Joseph has hidden his trail from Charles, but the problem remains unresolved. Daily wards from scrying are all that separate him from his predator.
Through his experience with Charles, Joseph learned the rudiments of magic, but his knowledge is incomplete at best. He depends mostly on his sheer power to perform spells, in a way that other mages might describe as brutish. Pushing spells through carelessly, many of his spells go awry. Furthermore, his knowledge of true magic is blended in with his knowledge of the occult in general (he can't read high atlantean). Still to suffer from a paradox, he has no qualms about casting spells when he needs to. Only his natural caution, and his fear of Charles, stay his hand.
Since then, he has experimented with Sleepers, attempting to figure out the things that go with awakening. As of yet, he has had no success. In fact, he has yet to witness an awakening other than his own. In the cabal, he hopes to find out something of awakening from the other members, and to apply it to his study of sleepers.
He chose Prometheus as a shadow name to finally hide his true name, only several days before he joined the cabal. He chose it to represent giving 'fire', or magic, to the sleepers. In reality, its meaning more closely resembles 'forethought' of awakening a personal army.[/sblock]
[sblock=chronicle so far]
As a trial by the Nemean, Promeheus (partnered with thorn) encountered a really sad child ghost who likely had his soul sucked out by the tremere lich whos aura tainted the room. He also encountered a random succubus, who he never saw, and was not actually affected by. Then there was the first spirit of alpha. He seemed quite out of it, but vanished utterly at pictures of real places in 'beta'.

Cool background. Is there anything that should be added possibly came up later in either thread?
