Nightmares
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.
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.
Mute
You cannot speak.
You may communicate with the GM and describe your actions, but cannot talk to a player character or an NPC unless everyone concerned uses sign language or you write things down.
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.
Anti-Social
You struggle with engaging in social interaction.
In order to start a conversation with someone you have known for less than an hour, you must succeed a Self-Control roll. If you become the center of attention in a large group, you must succeed a Self-Control roll or Exert your Mind to avoid fleeing or shutting down.
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.
Short Fuse
You have major issues controlling your temper.
Whenever tensions run high or someone disrespects you, you must roll Self-Control not to escalate the situation or have a violent reaction.
Nightwalker
You find the daylight unbearable.
You suffer a -3 dice penalty as long as you are exposed to sunlight. This stacks with any other penalty you have.
Hemophilia
Your blood doesn't clot as normal, making any Injury a potentially lethal one.
All Injuries Severity 2 or higher degrade at a rate of 1 Severity per minute. Stabilizations are made at +2 Difficulty, and all Proper Stabilizations require a blood transfusion.
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.
Avoidance
You are so off-putting, that most people just avoid you.
As long as your Charisma rating is 1, you may Exert your Mind to cause someone to ignore or avoid you in a social situation. Any Stealth rolls you make as a part of that attempt get +2 to their Outcome.
