Alt Event Question

Alt Character Creation
The following link will take you to the downloads page where you can download the Alt character creation packages. This file contains skill sets for each kind of the professions, all set at fifth level. Please try very hard to read over these and pick one prior to arriving at the event. You will in effect have the base stats, plus package A or B. As you will be also receiving your normal character card at sign in, the alt cards can look informal. Therefore it is acceptable and encouraged that you come having already cut and paste the skill set you have chosen for your character into a word file and print it out and bring it with you to sign in. In case you do not get this opportunity we will have copies of the skill sets on hand at the event.

Skills and Pre-Reqs - Some of the skill pre-reqs and the such may be old... we will just roll with them if we can... I at the very least cut the career points down by 1/3, please be sure to do the same thing if you are printing your own card for a casting class.
Alterations - You can make alterations to your card, but they must be legitimate build for build skill swaps. Please try very hard to already have such alterations planned out ahead of time. After you finish signing in, someone will review your card and help you legitimize any alterations.
Races - If you choose to play a race other than human, you can add the starting racials of that race to your alt character sheet.
Resistance or Not - If you are part of the Resistance your card needs to be marked as such. If you have decided you are not part of the resistance no additional mark is necessary.

Money and Market Fair
You can use your regular characters coin. Also you may buy and sell at market-faire, assuming any in-game items items you buy, or gold you earn, your reg character comes across and now has.

Alt Equipment
You will pick randomly from a pile of weapon cards, for whether your weapons are normal, silver, mythril, enchanted etc... After getting your weapons, you will roll for a small chance to start with a alt magical trinket. Armor will work off of normal armor cards. Use the ones you have, or if you dont have one, we can write up a normal armor card.

Build Gain and Advancement:
You gain build and advancement opportunity for your regular character for playing the alt event.

If you pay the PC price for the weekend you gain +6 build and your regular character and can automatically learn any skill without a teacher, as per the same rules as learning a skill at the Awards Banquets or Moresca Ball.  You will also be allowed to PC your regular character from when the alt plot ends Saturday night. (As far as build goes, you can still gain RP Build, extra bought build, SP build, Commodity build etc... on top of the 6 build earned for PC'ing)

If you pay the NPC price which is free. You receive regular NPC compensation and must follow all standard full time NPC obligations for the entirety of the weekend, even after the switch takes place.

The Switch Over
As indicated above, when the alt weekend plot ends, sometime around 10pm on Saturday, we take a brief 1 hour hold to switch costumes and get back into the regular game as our regular characters. We will not be switching the in-game building locations and decor, so please just roll with that.

Focus and Attunement
The focus is located in the mages guild. Anyone who is a healer or priest can choose to be attuned already to the focus.

Restricted races are allowed but be sure that you do them according to the correct make-up requirements and role-play.

Branded (Continuous)
Social
With this skill, the Dark Elf carries the brand of purity that marks her rejection of Dark Elf society. The effect of this brand on other races varies, but among other Dark Elves it is a clear sign that the character stands against her kind. Branded Dark Elves are highly inclined to trust one another, while unbranded Dark Elves tend to hold the branded ones in contempt and treat them as enemies – and the feelings are mutual. The statistical effect of this skill is that the racial skill Vengeance v. High and Sylvan Elves becomes Vengeance v. Dark Elves if a character has this skill. In addition, the Starting and Prohibited Profession lists are modified so that Priest and Cleric become available as Starting Professions, and Assassin and Torturer become Prohibited Professions.  This skill may only be learned with prior approval from the Director or Atmosphere Officer, as per the rules for a Restricted Race.

Restricted races are allowed but be sure that you do them according to the correct make-up requirements and role-play.

So, we don't need to get them approved first? Someone could just walk in (in proper make-up requirements and role-play of course) and say "I'm gonna be a dark elf" ?

Now, if we decided to play a dark elf, would we still need to get the Branded part approved for the alt event?

True or False?
you are able to use the self teach to learn a master list skill, as long as that master list is open to you.

I have seen no mention of this which is why I ask.
