(TapClick for Combat reference)

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

(Jacob Cruz 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

Disfigured: Faded Body (All social rolls are made at +1 Difficulty. The Beautiful Asset is suppressed as long as you have this Battle Scar)

Altered DNA: Upper Nullspace Resistance (You do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in a particular environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.)

Favours Owed: Cassiopeia (2) & Goro

Given by Bigswordsman

For one reason or another, you owe these people a debt. They may come to claim it at any time, so be ready.

Finances: Average

From Assets and Liabilities

You can live stably off your money. You have access to $2,520 (or equivalent currency) per Contract.

Database: Criminal Cases (ie Case reports, Crime scene information, Victims/Convicts, Prosecution/Defense/Judge, etc.)

From Assets and Liabilities

You have access to a specific database of non-public information. As long as you have internet access or cell service, you may search for relevant information in your database. GMs may require you to make a roll and/or spend a significant amount of time for particularly complex or nuanced information requests, at their discretion.

Point of Contact: Cara Chau

Given by athanasynt

You know someone in a specific industry or area of influence (Investigative Reporter from Vancouver) , and can lean on them for assistance. Once per Contract, and once per Downtime, you may call in a favor from Cara Chau. 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.

Terrorist

Given by athanasynt

yeah. DONT say anything. Insinuating you did the Canadian 9/11 will cause issues for you.

906,000 USD

Given by HumbleMemeMumbles

You sold Whyte Power for this monrey

Notorious for at the scene of Trump's assassination

Given by athanasynt

You are easily recognized and treated badly by the public at large due to something bad in your past. There is a strong hatred of you in English speaking cultures, and anyone who watches the news or is tuned in to popular culture will reflect that attitude. You get -3 dice for any rolls in social situations, and must roleplay your notorious status when relevant.

Alias: Zephyren Sangris

Given by Cryst0lline

You have an officially established alternate identity... at what cost? Your alias has all proper legal documentation and will hold up to the highest scrutiny. While using this alias, you must be disguised as this old friend...

Confidant: Pine(?)

Given by Cryst0lline

That's not Pine, that's the guy who considered you his favourite friend... right? And friends... talk... to each other. Maybe the real therapist was the Pi- I mean Zeph we met along the way.

Illuminated: Confirmed

Given by Beezleboppy

You are known to be a supernatural being. Compelling evidence is available to all, and even skeptics are convinced. You did 9/11 and Koriol ratted you out. The government knows what you did. You can never show your face here again... Not like you could show your face beforehand.

Notorious for everything you've done

Given by Beezleboppy

You are easily recognized and treated badly by the public at large due to something bad in your past. Your crimes have been made public, Jacob Cruz. The Knobbler revealed your role in the terrorist attacks on VPD, and the amount of allies you have dwindles with each passing day. You've plunged the world into a new age, will you succumb to the torrent or embrace its pull?

$2.3 million to Goro

Conditions

From Assets and Liabilities

Cat-Eyes Your eyes catch the light in the dark like a cat or dog's, granting low-light vision. You suffer no penalty to rolls in low-light situations. You cannot see in pitch blackness.

Contortionist You are unusually flexible, and may squeeze through small spaces with ease. Reduce the Difficulty of any roll to escape a grapple or Dexterity roll involving flexibility by 2.

Nimble Fingers Your fingers are particularly long and slender. You receive a +2 dice bonus to any action that requires fine manual dexterity.

From The Torrent

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.

Golden Lily Iris and Glowing Ear Canals Body parts that pulsatingly glow, and glow brighter in the dark! Might look strange and raise questions when noticed by others.

Zephmares The Death of one surprisingly close to you has effected you greatly. In your restlessness, you can hear his voice... "Live." There is a flash of light, and suddenly, nothing. 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. If you botch, you take 2 mind damage.

Seen Things Your exposure to unspeakable horrors has hardened you. You are at -1 Difficulty to all Trauma rolls. You receive this automatically upon reaching Seasoned status (10 victories), and cannot take it prior to that.

Insufferable Know-It-All: You need to be right. You need to be the one that can help. It's the least you can do. Any social rolls you make are at +1 Difficulty, and if someone else can answer an informational question or solve a puzzle before you do, make a Trauma roll. The Difficulty of this Trauma roll cannot be reduced by any means.

Echoing Regret Fuck. You're a real piece of work, aren't you? From here on out you can never forget your past actions... it haunts you. Whenever you would roll for trauma, roll it twice. Your second roll is at +2 difficulty. Double the rolls, double the chance of failure

Additional Languages: Tagalog and Cantonese You are fluent in two additional languages. 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.
