Deep Sleeper
You require more sleep than most people, and are quick to fall asleep but slow to wake up.
All attempts to put you to sleep succeed automatically. A full restful sleep requires at least 10 hours of sleep. Attempts to wake you up while sleeping, as well as Perception checks you make while you’re sleeping, are at +2 difficulty.
Short
You are very short, 4’6” at most.
You have difficulty reaching or manipulating objects designed for normal adults, and your move speed is reduced by half.
Compulsive Liar
You have trouble with honesty and generally find it much easier and safer to make things up.
Any time you are asked about yourself, or are offering information about yourself, you must succeed a Self-Control roll in order to tell the truth. If you are ever caught in a lie, you must Exert your Mind in order to come clean; otherwise you must attempt to justify the initial lie with more lies.
Forgetful
Your mind is a sieve, and while you can recall broad strokes, committing anything more detailed to memory is quite difficult.
You must roll Mind Difficulty 6 in order to remember any details (locations, names, address, where you left something that you set down, physical descriptions of things, bits of information you were told, etc…) If you fail the roll, you may Exert your mind to remember, but if you botch the roll, you are stuck.
Lycanthropy
You are possessed by an impulsive aspect that physically and mentally transforms you on the full moon and the surrounding nights.
At the start of each Contract, roll a d10 and multiply the result by 2 to determine how many nights until the full moon. On the two nights leading up to the full moon, you experience minor physical changes and all Mind rolls are +1 Difficulty. On the night of the full moon, you transform fully into an obviously unusual creature and all Mind rolls are +2 Difficulty.
Short Fuse
You have major issues controlling your temper.
Whenever tensions run high or someone disrespects you, you must roll Self-Control not to escalate the situation or have a violent reaction.
Nightwalker
You find the daylight unbearable.
You suffer a -3 dice penalty as long as you are exposed to sunlight. This stacks with any other penalty you have.
Lizard Brain
You are so unintelligent, you're accustomed to acting on instinct alone.
As long as your Intellect rating is 1, being reduced to 0 Mind does not incapacitate you. Instead, you are able to continue to take Actions, though you are limited to dog-like level of intelligence, and Penalty still applies in full.
Oblivious
You frequently fail to notice the soul shattering horrors that drive others mad.
As long as your Perception rating is 1, all Trauma rolls and defensive Mind rolls are made at -2 Difficulty. Does not affect any Trauma rolls made as an additional cost to Gift activation.
Tough
You can function under intense pain.
Stress from Injuries is reduced by 2.
Attuned Autoimmune
Your background has exposed you to a wide variety of toxins and diseases, and you have adapted to resist.
+2 dice to resistance rolls against any diseases or toxins.
Ageless
You are not immortal, but the passage of time takes a lesser toll upon you.
For every four years that passes, you age a single year.
Jaded
You are difficult to disturb, perhaps because of a traumatic past, or perhaps you're just emotionally detached.
You only have two Limits, instead of the normal three.
Iron Will
When you are determined and your mind is set, nothing can sway you from your goals.
You receive +2 dice to all Mind rolls.
Imbued
After accepting your first Invitation to a Contract, you are Imbued, altering you in several ways.
After completing a Contract, your learning and conditioning improves rapidly. However, you require the Contracts to advance. You have an indomitable Will to Survive. You may Exert your Mind to improve the Outcome of your Actions. You are highly receptive to therapy and may "cure" one of your Traumas with counseling on a Downtime.
