High Concept[edit]

MY NAME IS . . . Magnus Barnaby

AND I AM . . . a Politician's Chief of Staff


Five Questions[edit]

WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?He's losing. For the first time, his candidate is losing. He's built his reputation on always winning and he's losing. He can't see a way of turning this election around.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?he's just attended a debate between the candidates. His candidate got his ass kicked. He is sitting in his car, staring at the dash, listening to talk radio giving their opinion on the election

WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE?he is tall, lean, well dressed, perfect suits, clean shaven and well turned out. Signature jewellery like a watch and cufflinks. Expensive cologne. Rolodex and Filofax on his office desk, momtblamc fountain pen in his suit pocket

WHAT LIES BENEATH?he's a snake. He'll do what ever it takes to win, including negative campaigning. No card he won't play.


WHAT IS YOUR PATH?Discovering that life isn't this great game. That his moves and decisions have consequence and effect real people.


Sixth Question[edit]

WHAT NIGHTMARE DOGS YOUR STEPS?the Administrator, s task grey man in a grey suit


Responses[edit]

You have three points to divide between fight and flight responses. You can put all three in one and none in the other or two in one and one in the other.

  • TOTAL FLIGHT RESPONSES 2
  • TOTAL FIGHT RESPONSES 1

Talents[edit]

  • EXHAUSTION TALENT I know where the bodies are"

Any dirty secret, any embarrassing mistake, anything that an opponent might want hidden, Magnus knows how to find it out. Add long as they are embarrassed by the secret. What good is a secret that no one wants to keep hidden?

  • MADNESS TALENT I'm sure you can see things from my perspective"

Magnus is persuasive, suave, charming. People change their minds. Later they may realise they have been tricked, but for that instant they agree with him.
