Editing Cortex Prime: Urchins (section)

=Distinctions=
Distinctions are unique personal traits or tropes that set characters apart from one another beyond the pure mechanics.

'''BACKGROUND | QUIRK | SLEEVE'''

Distinctions are valued at [[file:d8a.png|24px|d8]] by default. Chose one distinction that highlights your Urchin's unique '''Background''', one that highlights a peculiar '''Quirk''' of the character, and one that highlights something unique about the sort of '''Sleeve''' the character is adept at.

'''Note:''' The Sleeve Distinction can only be used as a [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] when the character is not actually sleeved to a machine. This does not earn a free PP as normal. Sleeve SFX cannot be triggered while not sleeved to a machine.


==Background Distinction [[file:d8a.png|32px|d8]]==
Urchins are orphans, forgotten and unseen, scraping by in the streets and sewers and stations of the verse. Despite sharing a similar fate with their fellows, however, each Urchin followed their own unique path to get where they are. '''Sample Backgrounds''' might include ''Core Royal, Kidnapped, Born in the Black, Stowaway,'' etc . . .

==Quirk Distinction [[file:d8a.png|32px|d8]]==
Urchins are a hardy lot of survivors with their own bizarre coping mechanisms. '''Sample Quirks''' might include '' Obsessive Gum Chewer, Wears Clothes Backwards, Speaks in Rhyme, Kindness Tourettes,'' etc . . .

==Sleeve Distinction [[file:d8a.png|32px|d8]]==
Each Urchin is bonded to a specific sleeve, a specific type of machine. That is a separate player choice and not a function of this distinction. Your sleeve distinction should define something unique about your character's sleeve beyond the basic role of that sleeve in the game. '''Sleeve Distinctions''' might include ''Sharpshooter, Can't Stop the Signal, Doc, Puddle Jumper, Don Juan de Mecha,'' etc


'''Note:''' As mentioned above, the Sleeve Distinction can only be used as a [[file:d4a.png|24px|d4]] when the character is not actually sleeved to a machine. This does not earn a free PP as normal. Sleeve SFX cannot be triggered while not sleeved to a machine.

==Distinction SFX==
Each of your three distinctions comes with the '''Hinder SFX''' active:

:[[File:Check002.png|24px]] '''Hinder:''' ''Sometimes your distinction works against you.'' Gain 1 plot point when you roll a [[File:d4a.png|24px]] instead of a [[File:d8a.png|24px]]

After that, each Urchin starts play with two more '''SFX''' related to their distinctions. Further Distinction SFX can be earned via character advancement.
