Prime Trait Sets

Primary trait dice should be included every roll Add one die each from Objective, Role, and Distinction sets to form the base of every dice pool.

Objectives

The first Prime Trait set we will be using is Objectives, broad goals that a given action is aimed at achieving. Each character is ranked in four Objectives:

INFILTRATION | INVESTIGATION | NEGOTIATION | SABOTAGE

Chosing the Infiltration Objective means a character is trying to insert themselves into a given place or headspace or situation.

Chosing the Investigation Objective means a character is trying to learn something about a given situation either in the moment or via research or interrogation, etc.

Chosing the Negotiation Objective means a character is trying to get someone to alter their thinking or action via intimidation or reason or compromise, etc.

Chosing the Sabotage Objective means a character is just trying to fuck up a given situation.

Set one Objective value at one at and two at

If none of the objectives above would apply to the action at hand and the GM determines that the stakes are such that a roll is still required, the player may roll a as their objective die, indicating that completing the task is, in and of itself, the charcter's primary motivation. Sometimes stuff just needs to get done.

Roles

Second in the Prime Traits sets are Roles. If Objectives define the primary goal of a character's action. Roles give scope to the means by which those goals are achieved.

Characters tend to fill multiple roles in the regular course of things, but as might be expected, different characters develop more in certain roles than others, becoming top tier skilled in one, highly skilled in two others, competent in most of the rest, and abysmally less competent at that one role that just eludes them.

Each character is ranked in seven roles:

Crafter: Crafters create things from raw materials, be it physical objects such as furniture or computer chips or dinner, or more esoteric craftsmanship, like a manager who builds a sales force from the raw potential of other people or a sergeant who whips a platoon into fighting shape.

Fixer: Fixers are skilled at setting a messed up situation right. Political scandal? Didn't happen. Wrecked car? That'll buff right out. Messy murder behind the Dean's office? You would not believe what this solvent can make go gone.

Runner: Runners move things - information, people, cargo, etc. They are the smugglers, the digital pirates, and the traffickers of the new world. Need a ward bound demon? Runner can get you a greqt price.

Scrapper: Scrappers get into it. They ain't met the fight they didn't like and often act as enforcers, skirmishers, etc, for those that have need of their professional talent.

Skulker: Skulkers excel at getting things done in such a way that no one is the wiser, whether it be physically entering a secure facility undetected, accessing systems via unknown back doors, or setting up a cache or dead drop in plain sight.

Tracker: Trackers are skilled at hunting down anyone or anything that doesn't want or isn't meant to be found, locating people, resources, and rumors as needed, dogging them relentlessly until their quarry is in hand.

Tricksters: Tricksters are experts at misdirection, be it sleight of hand or the clever turn of phrase that changes the subject or the explosion at the old factory that keeps the cops busy while someone deals with the demonic familiar masquerading as a python at the local animal shelter.

Assign one of the following dice to each Role:

Distinctions

Distinctions are the third set of Prime Traits and thematically define aspects of each character to paint a clear picture of them as a whole. All Distinctions are rated at

Each character is loosely defined by three Distinctions:

ECHO | PROFESSION | WILDCARD

Each of your three distinctions comes with the Hinder SFX already active.

Hinder: Sometimes your distinction works against you. Gain 1 plot point when you roll a

instead of a

to represent your distinction.

Echo

Echo describes where your character's life intersected with the supernatural and how that changed them. Echo also determines your character's Power Set.

Bloodless - An encounter with vampires left you half in and half out of their world. You have access to the Bloodless power set.

Changeling - An encounter with a specific species of lycanthrope left you infected or cursed to share their form and appetites. You have access to the Changeling power set.

Fallen - An encounter with disposessed angelic beings branded you, searing your soul to your flesh and claiming you as a soldier in their fight. You have access to the Fallen power set.

Mystic - An encounter with elemental forces opened you to worlds beyond the mortal realm, enabling you to call forth powers from one realm to another. You have access to the Mystic power set.

Null - Despite countless encounters with the supernatural, you have remained stubbornly untouched and relentlessly human throughout. You have access to the Null power set.

Revenant - An encounter with literal ghosts nearly drew you entirely over to the other side, but you fought your way back. Changed. But alive. Sort of. You have access to the Revenant power set.

Touched - An encounter with creatures of the Fae realms marked you as one of their own. You have access to the Touched power set.

Unfettered - An encounter with beings from beyond time and space has left you seriously disconnected from what most folk consider reality, to the point that your mind reverberates with a near constant sense of cognative dissonance. But oh the things your mind can see now that it is free of the chains that bind the rest of creation. You have access to the Unfettered power set.

Profession

A character's Profession is what they do outside their place in the supernatural world, though Profession and Echo are often a hand in glove prosopect, the one supporting and enhancing the other.

Examples of Profession might include (but are not limited to) cop, medical examiner, private eye, soldier, carpenter, criminal, entreprneur, author, student, slacker, playboy/playgirl/playthey, etc.

Wildcard

The Wildcard distinction represents something truly unique about your character that sets them apart from their fellows and can be just about anything within reason. Wildcard Distinctions might include (but not be limited to) collector, chronic smoker, comes from money, knows a guy, mama bear, on the run, etc.

Note 1: Supernaturally flavored wildcard distinctions do not gain the character an additional power or power set and should be broad based in implication rather than specific. For example, Friend of the Fae would be great, but Teleporting Daemon Spawn would be way too specific.

Note 2: Wildcard distinctions that read like a professions are fine, but should be clearly written as a hobby or pass time than a full time profession.

Secondary Trait Sets

Secondary trait dice may be included as appropriate Secondary traits represent character abilities or assets that may or may not apply to an action. Dice from these sets can be added to the dice pool only when they specifically apply to the action at hand.

Power Sets

Each character starts with a power set of the same name as their Echo Distinction. Each set comes with a selection of powers, from which the player will select five, ranking two at and three at The player also selects one SFX for their power set to start the game. Limits are set according to type.

Note: The Hinder SFX can never be added to a power set.

The power set description indicates static abilities that the character can just use without requiring a roll.

Bloodless

Automatic Ability: The Bloodless are not burdened by a need to breaathe and cannot be killed by any means that rely on lack of oxygen to bring about death.
