A 2-Victory Newbie Contractor played by loveisdahlia in The Torrent

Report

Joseph D'Angelo is a aspiring drag queen who will risk his life to become the ultimate universal superstar and make literacy cool again.

He is 16 years old, lives in a fancy house in Sapperton, New Westminster, and often appears as a Filipino teenage boy, 4'9, the classic Southeast Asian tan, black hair, and brown eyes. In the daytime, wears normal polo t-shirts and pants and fancy coats in coral shades. Looks very put-together and serious, but sometimes if you squint you can catch flecks of glitter on his eyes and cheeks or weird black clumps on his lashes.

Joseph D'Angelo lives in The Torrent, a setting where there’s an ongoing torrent of the paranatural. His journal, 合同中的教训, has 4 entries. His Questionnaire has 9 answers.

Initiative: 0 dice

Movement: 0 feet

Dash: 0 feet

Perception + Alertness: 0 dice

At the start of Combat, roll Initiative: Dexterity + Perception Difficulty 6.

Each Round of Combat represents 3 seconds of near-simultaneous action.

It's my Turn

You get one Movement and one Action on your turn every Round of Combat.

Movement

Movement is taken immediately before OR after your Action. It cannot be split.
You may Free Move (0) feet. Minimum 5 feet.
You may Dash up to an additional (0 feet).
- Dashing penalizes your Action -1 die per 5 feet.
All-out Sprint: instead of using free Movement or Dash, you may spend your Action and roll Brawn + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. You move (0 + (Outcome x 5) Feet).

Actions

Attack with your weapon or hands.
Evade by rolling to Defend or Dodge. Your Outcome is "spent" to reduce the Outcome of any incoming attacks until your next Action.
Activate a Power or use an Ability as normal.
Hold your Action by declaring an Action and a triggering event. If the event occurs before your turn on the next Round, you perform the Action.

I'm being attacked

If you have not yet spent your Action this Round, you may use it as a Reaction.

Reactions

Dodge by rolling Dexterity + Athletics ( dice) Difficulty 6. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's.
Defend with your weapon by rolling its attack roll. Your Outcome is subtracted from the attacker's. Availability depends on weapon match-up (tap/hover).
Clash with the attacker using the same roll you would use to Defend. The higher Outcome (not contested) is treated as the result of a successful, undefended attack roll against the loser.

Desperate Defense

If you have already used your Action, you may Exert your Mind to perform a Reaction. Your next Round's Action receives a -2 dice penalty. You cannot Clash as a Desperate Defense.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 4 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 4). You take a point of Mind damage and suffer a Major Battle Scar that lingers after the Injury is healed, even with proper Stabilization.

If an attack's Outcome is positive after defense, it results in a new Injury with Severity = Outcome + Weapon damage - Armor

Injuries

(Joseph D'Angelo is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar and require Stabilization

Stabilization is the Injury's main treatment, and each Injury can only be successfully Stabilized once

Unstabilized Injuries worsen by 1 Severity level every half hour

Proper Stabilization

Requires an advanced first aid kit for Severity 4 Injuries, a field surgery kit for Severity 5 Injuries, and a surgery theater for Severity 6+ Injuries.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty equal to Severity

An Outcome of 1 or greater will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
Outcome 4+ puts the Injury on track to heal clean: its Battle Scar heals with it.
On a Botch, the Injury's Severity increases by 1.
Failed or Botched attempts may be re-attempted at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Makeshift Stabilization

Attempt a major treatment using insufficient or improvised medical equipment.

Roll Intellect + Medicine, Difficulty > Severity

(Difficulty based on materials and tactics used)

Outcome 1+ will Stabilize the Injury and stop its degradation.
However, any Outcome less than 4 increases the Injury’s Severity by 1. Botches also worsen its Battle Scar.
Regardless of Outcome, any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will persist after it is fully healed.
Failed or Botched attempts may be retried at +1 Difficulty per failure.

Self-stabilization attempts are rolled at +1 Difficulty.

Fear of the Dark You are utterly terrified of darkness. You must succeed a Self-Control roll in order to leave a well-lit area. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to face your fear. Take a Mind Damage if you are ever surprised while it’s dark.

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Nightmares: The church Your sleep is plagued with horrible nightmares. At the start of each Contract and each time you fall asleep, make a Self-Control roll. If you fail, you take one Mind damage.

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.

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.

Biography

Joseph Rafael Rosario D'Angelo seems like your average 16-year-old Filipino boy. He lives in a fancy home in Sapperton, New Westminster, BC with his grandfather, parents, 18y/o brother Daniel, and 15y/o sister Gabriella. Their father is the head pastor of a big New Westminster church that his grandparents founded in the Philippines. As such, the three children had an incredibly strict Christian upbringing, growing up with the only goal of dedicating their lives to the church and nothing else.

Although he's abnormally short, laughably skinny, and hopeless in physical activities, he makes up for it with his talent and intellect. He is an incredible performer with a beautiful voice and skill in multiple instruments, and he is at the top of all his English and Literature classes. He is rather popular in his high school and in the community for these reasons, and to top it off, he is extremely involved with church as the head worship leader.

However, Joseph doesn't want to have anything to do with the church. He hates the inhumane practices of the church in the name of "upholding the will of the Lord", and despises the constant misinterpretation of the Bible even more. One could say this disdain for the latter stems from a superiority complex where he thinks everyone's just too stupid to read between the lines correctly. At the end of the day, he just wants literacy to be cool again, and longs for a day where these 'righteous' Christians stop warping the words they didn't write just to fit their twisted ideals.

As for a more personal endeavor, Joseph wants to put his performing abilities to use in the form of drag. Or, at least, he wants to try. He'd only recently discovered he was gay and that's still a whole thing he's trying to cope with. But when everything in his life is controlled by his father, or the church, or even his brother, he at least wants his personal space in the late nights to sparkle for himself.
