===Janet the Parrot=== VILLAIN<br> Janet the Parrot a.k.a. Janet Parotisio Known Aspects: *Inhuman Witch *Uncanny Evasion *Darkness *True Form *Reinforcements From Beyond *Ethereal Jaunt *Soul Feast *[Aspect8] *[Aspect9] *[Aspect10] *[Aspect11] *[Aspect12] Assumed Key Skill(s):<br> Stealth Rumored Stunt(s):<br> '''In Plain Sight''' [Stealth]<br> Your character suffers no environment-based difficulty increases when using Stealth. This means that even when he’s out in the open and wouldn’t normally be able to justify using Stealth, he may. This also means that, once hidden, even people actively searching for him (page XX) do not get a +2 to their Alertness or Investigation rolls. This ability only functions so long as your character does not move, and does not do anything other than hide. The moment he does something else, he breaks cover and is immediately visible. '''Master of Shadows''' [Stealth] ''Requires In Plain Sight.'' Your character is one with the shadows, and lives in every darkened corner, unheard and unseen. You gain the full benefit of In Plain Sight, but may also move one zone per exchange without automatically breaking stealth, allowing you to remain hidden while moving, even when you shouldn’t be able to hide in the first place. If your character is in an environment that could give a bonus to stealth (like one with a Dark or Smokey aspect) or even one that would normally justify the use of Stealth to hide, you may pay a fate point to make a full sprint action without automatically breaking stealth. The upshot of this stunt is as follows: Whenever the character moves while hidden, discovery penalties (see page XX) may still apply, but are cut in half. Outside of conflict, this leaves observers at +1 for a cautious creep, +2 for walking pace, +3 for a jog (short sprint) and +4 for an out-andout run (long sprint); inside conflict, observers only get a +1 to detect the character for every zone moved in an exchange. If used in combination with Like the Wind (see page XX), these discovery bonuses are eliminated entirely. '''Quick Exit''' [Stealth]<br> A momentary distraction is all you need to vanish from the scene. Provided you are not in the midst of a conflict, you may roll a quick contest between your Stealth and the highest Alertness in the room. If you succeed, the next time someone turns to look at or talk to you, you’re not there. '''Vanish''' [Stealth] ''Requires Quick Exit.'' This stunt functions the same as Quick Exit (above), but the character may vanish even if he is in a conflict, as a full action. This requires some dramatic flourish (smoke bombs or bright flashes are classics) or the invocation of an appropriate environmental aspect (like The Darkness of the New Moon). '''Shadowed Strike''' [Stealth] ''Requires Master of Shadows and Vanish.'' The character strikes from out of the darkness, leaving his foes bewildered and in pain. When hidden, the character can launch an attack while remaining hidden, using his Stealth for any defense rolls for the duration of that exchange. '''Deadly Shadows''' [Stealth] ''Requires Shadowed Strike.'' When using the Shadowed Strike method the character may use his Stealth to make attacks as well, rather than using his Weapons skill or the like.
