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 or React more than once to a given Action.

Will to Survive

Once per Contract, you may reduce the severity of an incoming Injury up to 5 Severity levels (to a minimum of Severity 5). You also take a point of Mind Damage and suffer a Battle Scar as normal.

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

Injuries

(Riku Nakamura is unharmed)

(TapClick for Severe Injury reference)

Injuries Severity 4+ cause a Battle Scar or Equipment destruction and always 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 surgery setup 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 if it caused one.
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.

Battle Scars

Dice penalties from Battle Scars do not stack with Stress

Weak Stomach (Whenever you face an extreme or overpowering smell, you must succeed a Body roll, Difficulty 9 not to throw up.)

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.

From Maelstrom

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.

Member of the Red Star You have accepted the offer given to you and joined the Red Star, to fight the important fight. 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.

Monitored by the Government Is the experiment over? I could have sworn I saw that van outside my house yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that.

What is that thing? FEED ME! Whenever this thing eats around 200 pounds of flesh, the contractor gains the loose end, "What is that thing? - Count down 1, Threat - Riku's body will produce a new entity that hungers..." This can occur more than once per scene.

Stomach Face A single eye, and many toothed mouth are in the same place as your stomach. It takes about an hour to eat 200 pounds of flesh. If you don't have a shirt or some way to cover this deformity, Beautiful is suppressed. This entity hungers for flesh. Whenever you come across any dead body, make a mind check. On four successes, you manage to keep this thing from eating the carcass.

Ingested Artifact This artifact was...consumed...sort of... The legendary artifact "Once More, With Feeling" has been integrated into Riku's flesh. It can be retrieved by - painfully - cutting it out.

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.
