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.
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.
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.
Sensitive
You're emotionally fragile, and very likely to be mentally and emotionally scarred by your experiences.
You have four Limits, instead of the usual three.
Lanky
You are particularly tall and have long limbs.
Your "touch" range is ten feet instead of the standard five.
Tough
You can function under intense pain.
Stress from Injuries is reduced by 2.
Focused
You’re cool under pressure.
Stress from Mind Damage is reduced by 2.
Glass Jaw
You are easily knocked out.
Whenever you take an Injury that is Severity 4 or higher, or if you take any blow to your head, you pass out for the next Round. When you pass out, you drop what was in your hands, fall to the ground, cannot move, and cannot take any Actions.
Jack of All Trades
You are naturally capable of most things, even without any training.
When making a roll which utilizes a Primary Ability that you don’t possess, you do not suffer the standard +1 Difficulty penalty, and you receive +1 dice to the roll.
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.
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.
