Sidereal Character Creation 1 : Skills

So, I'm playing in a Sidereal game pretty soon, and like Dragonblooded characters that work for Lookshy or the Realm, non-ronin Sidereal have some pre-requisites. And they're pretty strict, actually. Luckily, they get 36 initial skill points to work with, but like most pre-requisites in a game like this, life isn't fair. Some Chosen come out of the deal better then others.

All Sidereals have a certain baseline they're required to meet regardless of Caste. It works out to 15 skill points out of  the initial 36, broken down into 9 different skills. This is a little misleading, because the Castes that favor those skills are spread out. Here's the breakdown.
