Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Two: Character Creation (section)

===Step Two: Select Attributes===
Your genius' Attribute dots determine his raw capabilities. Use the genius' life before the Breakthrough as a guide to determining his Attributes. Try to imagine how the genius' Attributes would influence his personality, and vice-versa.

All Attributes begin at one dot. Divide your Attributes into primary (five dots), secondary (four dots), and tertiary (three dots). The fifth dot in any Attribute requires two dots to purchase.

When you add the genius template (step five), you will add an additional dot to Intelligence, Wits, or Resolve. This does not cost two dots to purchase if it raises an Attribute to five dots.

Though the Inspired vary considerably in talents and temperament, many possess a few common traits.

Intelligence is prized above almost all other Attributes in the Inspired community, and understandably so: only the smartest can reliably build wonders. Wits, however, is invaluable when a wonder is needed right now, not just after three days in a laboratory. Geniuses who focus on travel and adventure need high Dexterity to control the strange vehicles they build 
and Stamina to survive the rigors of hostile and alien environments. And not all of the Inspired are shut-ins: many are naturally charming, almost magnetic, and others hone their 
Social Attributes so that they might rise to positions of power as laboratory directors or executives in the private sector. Presence gives a genius the raw strength of personality to bend others to his will, to amaze, delight, and terrify, while Manipulation is less glamorous but no less useful.

Despite their tenacity, many Inspired lack Resolve and Composure and are psychologically vulnerable when taken out of their narrow environments. Many are temperamental, unstable, even gullible despite their brilliance. Those that do not suffer from this weakness, however, can be as relentless as they are smooth, able to travel from boardroom to farthest uncharted land while keeping a level head.
