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

===Step Five: The Genius Template===
Now Kirsten needs to decide on Sanjula's Inspired abilities: her foundation, her catalyst, and her Axioms.

Despite her impish disposition and love of exploration, Sanjula catalyzed in despair and regret: her mother had always had a history of heart complications, and in Sanjula's freshman year, just as Sanjula was exalting in her newfound freedom, her mother died suddenly. The tragedy hit her like a hammer-blow, but she did not give in to despair; instead, a newfound feeling of mortality afflicted Sanjula, coupled with bitter regret at her harsh parting with her mother and a fear of her own vulnerability: Sanjula, due to her own health problems, does not expect to live long, and that has made her bitter. She hides it, but Sanjula is a Neid. Every day she feels more isolated from the mere mortals whom she used to consider her peers, and every day they hate and fear her more.

Kirsten wants something a bit brighter for a foundation, and selects the Scholastics: Sanjula resents normal people, but she also exalts in her newfound knowledge. She enjoys playing up her role as a living cipher, and delights in mysteries and puzzles of all kinds. She also has a gift for computing and mathematics.

Kirsten can choose any Mental Attribute to increase. She decides to increase Wits by one dot: deviousness and cunning defines Sanjula, more than raw intellect.

Sanjula receives Epikrato as a favored Axiom for being a Neid and may choose between Apokalypsi and Metaptropi; Kirsten chooses the latter because she wants a holo-machine. For Sanjula's third favored Axiom, Kirsten chooses Apokalypsi, because she eventually plans to build dimensional scanning devices.

Sanjula has three dots that she can place in her favored Axioms. She puts one dot in Epikrato and two in Metaptropi.

Sanjula's Inspiration begins at one dot. This gives her a maximum Mania pool of ten points, some of which will be bound into her first wonders.
