    Circumstances

    Famous: Cult leader of "the Golden Path"
    From Assets and Liabilities
    You are well-known and generally well-liked by the general public. You may easily communicate a message via the media during a Downtime, and you may receive preferential treatment from NPCs at the GM's discretion.
    Illuminated: Debated (Government)
    Given by Lord_of_Clueless
    There is some privatly-accessible evidence of your supernatural nature. Rumors of your capabilities circulate and some people believe them. You are imprisoned in a Government Blacksite where they are trying to confirm your supernatural tendencies.
    Imprisoned: Government Blacksite for testing on individuals with supernatural capabilities.
    From Assets and Liabilities
    You are trapped inside some form of prison or cage, and are only released temporarily to attend Contracts. At the end of each Contract, you will be returned to your prison. Your ability to do Crafting, make Moves, improve Abilities, and maintain a consistent inventory, are all significantly restricted, and you must get GM approval to attempt any of these things.

    Conditions

    From Assets and Liabilities
    Pathetic You are so pathetic, no one takes you seriously as a threat. As long as your Brawn rating is 1, opponents must roll Mind and achieve an Outcome of 4 or higher to attack you instead of other targets in Combat.
    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.
    Supernatural Condition You have some unique supernatural affliction or curse due to your heritage or background. Condition: Shattered Dominion Effect:(Anything which would cause the failure limit to be tested would trigger this condition) When Zhòng de Piànzǐ experiences a major crisis (such as a significant failure), he loses all supernatural powers for one month. During this time, the Yaojing’s influence over him is severed, forcing him to confront his true self. This period of powerlessness causes him to deeply question who he is—whether he is truly Zhòng de Piànzǐ or just a puppet of the Yaojing’s will.
    Additional Language: Englisch You are fluent in an additional language You can speak, read, and write in the chosen language. You may be given a roll to decipher some amount of meaning from a related language at the GMs discretion.
    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.
    Thought experiment You have learned from the greats, you truly are a philosopher. You can now conjure up thought experiments. While talking to someone, roll a mind roll, to come up with a philosophical thought experiment. The person targeted can roll a mind roll to defend against it, if they fail they will be affected. The person affected will ponder the predicament and roll perception rolls at two higher difficulties for the duration of 10 minutes. This can only be done once a day.
    Karpowski Conditioned You have faced your most inviolable principle and run it through. You are stronger for it. The Soviet considers you hire-able Once per day, as a quick action, exert your mind and select a limit. You may ignore that limit with no mental consequences for breaking it for the next hour.
