    Paranoia You have a natural distrust of everyone around you, and are always on edge looking for threats.

If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome your fear.
    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.

You are highly receptive to therapy and may "cure" one of your Traumas with counseling on a Downtime.

You know someone in a specific industry or area of influence, and can lean on them for assistance. Once per Contract, and once per Downtime, you may call in a favor from Azra, successor owner of the Red Star Nightclub. (Your contact is not brainwashed or supernaturally compelled, and they may refuse to do things which are unreasonable or absurd. You may attempt to call in additional favors beyond the first one, but these are not guaranteed, and over-use of your contact may cause you to lose them, as well as create potential Loose Ends. Riku has recently moved up in the organization and is an important member of the Red Star.

    Biography

    Riku Nakamura exists in the liminal spaces between worlds—a half-yokai descendant unknowingly carrying the supernatural legacy of his mother, now further transformed by an alien parasite that has rewritten the very fabric of his being. Born into a lineage steeped in Japanese supernatural folklore, Riku was always destined to be more than human, though he spent most of his life unaware of the mythical blood running through his veins. The silver osmium bracelet he inherited—a powerful magical artifact connected to his maternal lineage—became a silent witness to his transformation, first by his hidden yokai heritage and then dramatically altered by the alien parasite that invaded his system during a contract. Now, Riku navigates the entertainment world of Los Angeles and Tokyo as a carefully constructed performance, using his professional persona as a shield while harboring a deep, unspoken desire to understand the true nature of his fractured identity. Caught between the ancient supernatural traditions of his mother's bloodline and the cold, invasive intelligence of the alien parasite, Riku has become a living bridge between worlds—a strategic operator who sees reality not as a fixed construct, but as a narrative waiting to be manipulated, rewritten, and ultimately controlled.
