TEAM MOVES: When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, ask them if they think you're cool. If they say yes, give them Influence and take Influence over them. If they say no, mark a condition or spurn them immediately. Either way, add a team to the pool.

When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, give them influence over you, and ask them who they'd like you to be. Mark potential if you show them that person. Add a team to the pool no matter what.

LABELS: Freak: +1 -- Hopeless [] Danger: +0 -- Afraid [] Savior: -1 -- Insecure [x] Superior: +3 -- Guilty [] Mundane: +0 -- Angry [x]

PLAYBOOK MOVES: I don't give a damn what you think!: Whenever you reject others' influence, add +2 to your roll.

Mary Contrary: When someone tries to pierce your mask, comfort or support you, or provoke you, you can interfere. Roll +Superior. On a hit, they take a -2 on their roll. On a 10+, take Influence over them or clear a condition. On a 7-9, you expose yourself to retribution, cost, or judgment. On a miss, they get a 10+ no matter what they rolled and you mark a condition, their choice.

Are you watching closely?: When you mislead, distract, or trick someone, roll +Superior. On a hit, they are fooled, at least for a moment. On a 10+, choose 3. On a 7-9, choose 2. - You get an opportunity. - You expose a weakness or flaw. - You confuse them for some time. - You avoid further entanglement.

On a miss, you're hopelessly embroiled in it and under pressure; mark a condition.

BACKSTORY

How did you get your powers?

Certainly not from my father. I’d like to think I inherited nothing from him but his good looks and his money. In any case, I know for a fact that I got my abilities from my mother. Perhaps I should explain who my parents are (even though you probably already know):

My father is Naser Al-Farouq, a Bahraini businessman who owns—what else—The Oasis Corporation. In all honesty, I don’t know precisely what my father or his corporation does, just that they’ve made a lot of money doing it. My mother is, of course, the one and only Fatima. Surely you’ve heard of her? She had a smash hit in the late eighties? She was like the Cher of Bahrain. No?

Anyway, do you notice how my mother's face, at 40-whatever, is wrinkle-free? She really hasn't had those plastic surgeries the tabloids keep accusing her of. She told me when I first started showing signs of my powers: it's all an illusion. I don't think my father knows she has powers, or else they probably wouldn't ever have gotten married in the first place. Their marriage is hardly happy as it is.

What do you do for fun?

I post vlogs, manage my Twitter account, go shopping, practice kickboxing. One of those things is not like the other, I know, but it's difficult being a socialite and a hero-in-training; especially when you don't have freaking super strength or lightning speed or whatever. Not that you even need those things when you have as many Youtube subscribers as I do. Besides, kickboxing gives me one hell of a bikini body.

Who, outside the team, thinks better of you than you do?

My brother, Faisal. Or just Sal, for short. He's just a couple of years younger than me, but our father seems to have finally realized that being a dad involves actually spending time with your kids, so Sal has a much better relationship with him than I do. I don't hold that against Sal, though--he's cool in my book. I won’t let him become like our father, insha’Allah.

Why do you try to be a hero?

It pisses my father off, which is hilarious. He hates metahumans, and his own daughter being one, well…(crying laughter emoji).

Plus, it boosts my follower count on Instagram.

Why do you care about the team?

Easy: they make me look good.

RELATIONSHIPS I keep trying to impress ---- with my antics…


and I pulled an awesome (if illegal) stunt together…

People who Influence me: People who are Influenced by me: Adults who don't have influence on me
