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.
The Hunger: cat food
You have an insatiable urge to consume something unusual.
You no longer recover Mind through restful sleep. Instead, you may recover 1 point of Mind per day by consuming the subject of your hunger. Any day you fail to do so, you take a point of Mind Damage.
Anti-Social
You struggle with engaging in social interaction.
In order to start a conversation with someone you have known for less than an hour, you must succeed a Self-Control roll. If you become the center of attention in a large group, you must succeed a Self-Control roll or Exert your Mind to avoid fleeing or shutting down.
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.
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.
Cat-Eyes
Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision.
You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.
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.
Convenient Klutz
Your manner of tripping over yourself is so unpredictable, it makes you difficult to target.
When you are attacked, you may spend a Reaction to instead fall on your face and take a Severity-1 Injury, avoiding the attack. Only works if your Dexterity rating is 1.
Trained Reflexes
Your life has been filled with tight situations and violent encounters, so when the fighting starts, you act quickly.
You get +3 dice to all Initiative rolls.
Vengeful
An insult to or an attack on your person simply cannot be tolerated.
Each time someone wrongs you or disrespects you in a major way, you must succeed a Self-Control roll to resist taking revenge.
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.
Defective Sight
You have trouble seeing things accurately.
All Perception rolls which involve sight are at +2 Difficulty, and rolls which involve aiming at a target are at +1 Difficulty (this includes ranged combat, as well as called shots in melee combat).
Paranoia
You have a natural distrust of everyone around you, and are always on edge looking for threats.
You must roll Self Control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or to allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome your fear.
Focused
You’re cool under pressure.
Stress from Mind Damage is reduced by 2.
