[B]Demeanor:[/B] Charming

[B]Starting Character Stats:[/B] (Added +1 to Mind) Blood -1, Heart 1, Mind 2, Spirit 0

[B]Starting Factions:[/B] (Added +1 to Night) Mortality 1, Night 1, Power 1, Wild -1

[B]Intro Questions:[/B]

[I]Who are you?[/I] Wouldn't you like to know? I am Sam. Samantha, Samuel, whichever I want or need to be on any given day. I'm the guy or the girl in the background. I know stuff.

[i]How long have you been in this city?[/i] I was born here, as was half my family. The other half? Well, they're from all over. Every wave of immigration has left its mark, and, if you believe some family history, we go all the way back to the Native tribes. [I] How did you learn about the supernatural?[/I] Pete went on the rampage. ’99 was a big year.

[I]Why is this city worth saving?[/I] It’s my home. I don’t need another reason.

[i]What mystery are you currently investigating?[/i] ...

[b]Gear[/b]

A simple apartment, a decent car, a smartphone

Snub-nosed revolver (2-harm close loud reload concealable)

[b]Debts[/b]

Someone told you their secrets and you haven’t told anyone about them yet. They owe you two debts.

Someone thinks they’re protecting you, but it’s really more like you’re protecting them. You owe each other a Debt. [This sounds perfect for Sam & Pete.]

You’re leveraging dirt you have on someone to get their help with something. You owe them a Debt. [Maybe Ashja? Sam’s ignorant of the Wild faction, so may have turned to Ashja for help on that.]

[b]Aware Moves[/b]

[i]Snoop[/i]

When you keep an eye out for trouble, roll with Mind. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. While you’re there, spend your hold to ask the MC questions, 1 for 1:

What’s my best way in/out? Who or what here is not what they seem? What happened here recently? What here is the greatest danger to me? Whose turf is this?

On a miss, you find yourself in over your head. The MC will tell you why this is a bad spot.

[i]Did Your Homework[/i]

When you [b][i]put a face to a name[/b][/i] with someone politically important (your call), roll with Mind instead of Faction. On a hit, you know a dangerous secret about them or their political machinations. On a 10+, you know how to leverage that information; take a Debt on them as well. On a miss, your snooping has already landed you in hot water with your target; they know you’ve been looking into their business.

[I]Hard-Boiled

[/I] When you get into trouble while chasing down a lead, gain armor+1.

[b]Drama Moves[/b]

[i]Corruption Move:[/i] When you ignore your mortal responsibilities to deal with the supernatural, mark corruption.

[i]Intimacy Move:[/i] When you share a moment of intimacy – physical or emotiona – with someone who isn’t mortal, mark corruption.

[i]End Move:[/i] When you die, each character chooses whether your death inspires or corrupts a part of their being. If it inspires, they erase a corruption advance they’ve taken (if any). If it corrupts, they immediately take a corruption advance.
