Sharing Trauma Carl stares daggers at the enemy attacking him, before both double over in pain.

1
The power to inflict mental trauma on a target.
Used by Carl Baskins, Created by Metal.
(When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. )

Carl stares at a target, and perceptive onlookers can notice the vague outline of something huge swimming across his blue irises for an instant. Both his and the target’s eyes, if the target possesses any, flicker green, before both double over in pain. For an important instant, both Carl and the target see a flash of something horrifying.

Carl always sees a fractured, out of context traumatic memory that was repressed by his previous amnestics use. His target sees something awful, but Carl doesn’t know what it is that they see. This scares him. Deeply.

If they fail, your target will take 1 point of Mind damage and gain a new Trauma selected by the GM. This trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy as per normal rules. Affected targets are aware that they are being attacked and can generally tell who did it.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

The Golden Rule, espoused by most philosophies of the world: Love thy Neighbor. Do no Harm. Do unto Others as you would have them do unto You.

Everyone knows this moral lesson, for Man is inherently good. Yet, in the cut throat world of seeking one's daily bread, it is a lesson easily forgotten. Pushed aside in the mad race to reach the heights of self gratification!

Yet, no matter how far the sheep has strayed from the shepherd, they still yearn to do what is right. With some, only a gentle word is needed...for others, the Imperious Command from the Top Hat clad figure of Emperor Norton the II is required - this resounding decree shakes even the coldest heart, awakening them to an enlightenment they will not soon forget!
