Nightmares: The Ones Who Came Before
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful
You're quite the specimen!
Rolls where your good looks could help– be it via sexual attraction, first impression, or trustworthiness– are at -2 Difficulty. Social interactions should be role-played accordingly. Effect activations are unaffected.
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.
