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.
Daredevil
You have a penchant for taking wild, unnecessary risks, and somehow manage to survive them.
You get +3 dice when attempting an action that is especially risky, and may ignore a single 1 on that roll.
Jack of All Trades
You are naturally capable of most things, even without any training.
When making a roll which utilizes a Primary Ability that you don’t possess, you do not suffer the standard +1 Difficulty penalty, and you receive +1 dice to the roll.
Nightmares: Electric Sheep
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.
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.
Forgetful
Your mind is a sieve, and while you can recall broad strokes, committing anything more detailed to memory is quite difficult.
You must roll Mind Difficulty 6 in order to remember any details (locations, names, address, where you left something that you set down, physical descriptions of things, bits of information you were told, etc…) If you fail the roll, you may Exert your mind to remember, but if you botch the roll, you are stuck.
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.
Bane: BIO-HAZARDS
You are weak to a specific material or type of attack.
All Damage you take from your weakness is increased by 2 and ignores any non-material Armor you may have.
Short Fuse
