Choose and underline two downsides of your sanctuary.

Draws dangerous attention and tied intricately to your Doom

When you call upon the resources of your sanctuary to solve a problem, say what you want to do. The GM will give you one to four conditions you must fulfill to complete your solution.

Nemesis

You have a nemesis, an epic and powerful enemy representing and embodying your doom. It’s going to take everything you have to take them down in the time you have left.

Who is your nemesis? Dr. Morpheus

At the end of every session, answer the question: Did you make progress on defeating your nemesis? If the answer is yes, mark potential. If the answer is no, mark your doom track.

Burn

When you charge up your powers, roll + conditions you currently have marked. On a hit, hold 3 burn. On a 7-9, mark a condition. On a miss, hold 2 burn and mark three conditions. Spend your burn on your flares. You lose all burn at the end of the scene.

Moat: Spend 1 burn to create a barrier that will hold back threats as long as you keep your attention on it. The GM may call for you to spend another burn if the barrier is threatened by particularly powerful enemies.

Overcharge: You channel the full capacity of your incredible powers to overcome an obstacle, reshape your environment, or extend your senses. Spend 2 burn to take a 10+ when you unleash your powers.

Shielding: You call up a fast protective field to stop a danger. Spend 1 burn to defend someone else from an immediate threat, rolling +Freak instead of +Savior.

Backstory

When did your first learn of your doom?

• It was a simple shortcut through an abandoned, under construction part of Halcyon City. When I tripped and fell into a hole, I woke up deep underground inside of an ancient temple long buried by rubble and progress. I somehow found my way to the temple's relic containment room, and that unleashed the long dormant temple guardian on me. In desperation, I reached out for a weapon - a sword that was glowing with energy, as if enticing me to it. When I took hold I became imbued with immense power and destroyed the guardian in a tough battle. But it was only later after the exhaustion set in that I was to discover my curse: that I was doomed to die slowly, the weapon that was now permanently bonded to me devouring my life force bit by bit until it consumed it all.

Where did you get your Sanctuary?

• Azoth - the sword - bequeathed the mysterious temple and its secrets to me as its wielder, granting me access to its myriad resources. Accessing it is simple - I need only use the blade to draw a door to order to enter.

Why do you oppose your nemesis?

• Dr. Morpheus is a madman! He knows the truth of the weapon I hold and the entity contained within it, and yet would seek to acquire both my weapon and a number of other eldritch artifacts for some insane plan to end everything!

Who outside of the team, is crucial to defeating your nemesis?

• Wisconsin Johnson, a retired archeologist and dabbler in the occult. We've put our heads together numerous times in order to try and banish the sword, or find another means of containment, or... something. Anything. But so far, nothing.

Why does the team matter to you?

• I... I need help. Someone to talk to, people who can understand, is nice. And I absolutely must have the backup - if I face any threats on my own I die even quicker.

When Our Team First Came Together... We Paid a High Cost for Victory, What Was It?

In order for us to win, I shattered reality at the seams, and in doing so ended up accidentally killing the Silver Savior's only granddaughter. I... I didn't mean to. I swear! I didn't! I'm so sorry...
