The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

You also gain the following effects:
- Hey, Listen!: You cannot be ignored or unheard when directly addressing an entity.

- Poker Face: You never give any outward indication of dishonesty. It is impossible to tell that you are lying, and you are able to fool any method of lie detection without making a roll.
- In rare cases, GMs may require you to make a roll to detect a lie from particularly powerful beings (trickster gods, etc).

I Call It Me
"Call it talent, call it power—call it whatever you want. I just call it me."
Cloé doesn’t need to try, she simply is. Some people claw for attention, but for her, it’s effortless. She walks into a room, and eyes turn. She speaks, and people listen. Charisma isn’t something she learned,
it’s something she breathes.
But for all the energy she gives to the world, there’s always the ringing. A constant hum in her ears, a phantom of every bass drop, every night spent drowning in sound. And just like she trusts the beat, she trusts people too quickly, too deeply. It’s a dangerous way to live, but what’s life without a little risk

Latent Instincts
"People find it really hard to say no to me."
Minerva begins subconsciously imposing her will on the world around her. Even without focusing, her as long as she's honest, her desire to be believed will make her be believed. Whenever she can hear something, read something... if it's not true, there's a soft... static, to it. She's learned what that means.
When she focuses... every word she says is just the word she has to say, and is taken in the most favourable manner. It's impossible to stay mad at her, or to deny her.
Anyone who sees her attacked feels a subtle reflexive instinct to protect and defend her, even if she isn't in the room. She's trying to learn to intensify that.
