Community Traits Index

5IREPROOF: The number 5 personally despises you, and the feeling is mutual. If the total of your roll is exactly 5, you may roll again and take the first result that isn’t a !@#$ 5. If the total of your roll is exactly 10, do the same, because a 10 is just two 5s in a trenchcoat.

• Bottle of 50 proof vodka (+1D6 HP, reroll on 5s)
• +2 CREATIVE

ABOMINABLE: You’re an experiment gone horrifically wrong (or horrifically right) that can change between a humanoid and monstrous form. Describe your monstrous identity and roll 1D6 to determine your CHOKE score for PEEP THE HORROR. Whenever you PEEP THE HORROR, your true form is revealed and your stats are modified as follows: Max HP is multiplied by 1.5 rounded down, ARMOR starts at 0 but may be increased by spending WAR DICE (or eating your teammates), and DAMAGE equals 1D6+ your number of character traits. While in your monstrous form you’re not exactly in full control, and the other players and the referee will decide on something irrational you must do before the scene ends. You revert back to your humanoid form at the end of the scene.

• Stress ball (allows you to ignore transformation, one use)
• +1 to chosen attribute

ABSORB: You have a highly advanced suit that can redirect kinetic energy. Whenever you take damage, even if nullified by ARMOR, mark a triangle on your sheet. When you hit a target with a melee attack, you may consume your triangles to add that much to your attack's damage.

ACCEPTANCE: It doesn't matter what they say, your belief never wanes. For without love, it cannot be seen.

• Your best friend (a stuffed animal, it is as alive as you believe it to be)
• +1 CREATIVE

ACCESSORY: your consciousness is tied to a wearable accessory. Whenever something wears the accessory, alive or dead, your consciousness inhabits it. living things that do this have their own consciousness immediately destroyed, and removing the accessory from a living thing that you are inhabiting effectively kills it. when you inhabit a new body, work with the referee to determine what your new stats, traits, and inventory look like. any traits or stats you obtain through character creation and advancement are intrinsically tied to you, and manifest on anything you inhabit.

• Your choice (1 ARMOR, accessory)
• -2 MAX HP

ACROBAT: You can do feats of acrobatics, such as backflipping or diving over a barrier, without rolling the dice. If it’s something particularly difficult, such as doing cartwheels to avoid machine gun fire or diving through the crevice of falling rocks, you do so, but you’ll be rattled - the next time you would take DAMAGE, double it.

• Black trench coat (1 ARMOR)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

ACROBAT: You can tumble and twirl through the air with ease, crossing great gaps, rising to greater heights, without rolling. If attacked while navigating an exceptional height (flipping off a cliff onto a moving train, swinging across a suspension bridge, you always stick the landing but injure yourself in the process.

• Baston (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

ACME: Up to three times per mission, you can get any base weapon or gadget mentioned in the FIST Ultra rulebook delivered to your location in 30 seconds by using a communications device - any communications device. However, use of that weapon or gadget always requires a roll, and any roll of 7+ with it is always a partial success, never full or ultra success. Rolling a failure comically explodes the object without doing you any harm. Once per mission, you can paint a tunnel on a surface and go through it. Nobody can follow you - it's a painting, remember?

• ?, +2 CREATIVE
• -2 TACTICAL

ADAPTABILITY: You have raised various attributes to ensure your survival, increasing your agility and resistances. You can always find the time to use items quickly in a fight.

• -2 FORCEFUL

AERO: With a deep breath, you can inflate the helium sacs surgically implanted throughout your body and float up to a maximum of 20ft for as long as you can hold your breath.

• Confusing backstory (+1 per role on rolls made to distract someone)
• -1 TACTICAL

ANIME: You’re a living anime character, with a striking art style to match. When you take this trait, declare the genre of anime you’re part of (such as mecha, shonen, slice of life, etc).

• Worn-out teddy bear (destroy to gain 1D6 WAR DICE)
• +1 CREATIVE

ANTIMEMETIC: You emanate an anti-psychic field that causes physical pain to everyone around you. Most people will experience mild headaches in your presence, and your mind cannot be read by psychics.

• Psychic inhibitor (prevents head explosion, one use)

A quarter is about equivalent to a gunshot, whereas a loaded credit card is closer to several tons of tnt.

• Roll of pennies
• +1 TACTICAL

• Hardhat (1 ARMOR, accessory)
• -1 CREATIVE

Choose one of the following for whenever you use your inhaler: 1). +2 to the next attribute you roll, 2). +2 ARMOR the next time you would take DAMAGE, or 3). Immunity to the next breathing based effect you would suffer. If you roll the dice to do something risky involving stamina and endurance and you don’t have your inhaler, roll 3D6 and take the worst two. When you advance, you may choose to take another bonus for using your inhaler instead of taking one of the usual advancement rewards.

• Kitted out inhaler (6 uses)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

AUDACITY: Confidence allows all kinds of things that wouldn't be possible otherwise. Make all checks in secret.

• Confusing business card (STUN conversational target, one use)
• +1 TACTICAL

AUTHORITY: You exude authority, and the lowest-ranking members of any hierarchy are eager to win your approval.

BACKGROUND: You have a way of blending in with the scenery. When lying or bluffing to convince rank-and-file people (e.g. CYCLOPS grunts or privates in a hostile army) that you’re supposed to be where you are, roll 3 dice and keep the highest two. Additionally, once per mission when the ref narrates a scene without you in it, you may declare that you’re actually there unnoticed.

• Clipboard (reveal someone’s current schedule, one use)

• +1 MAX HP

BEHEMOTH: You are a fledgling colossal monstrosity, destined to herald unfathomable ruination in its wake. Describe the form which your destructive implement takes (horns, claws, radioactive breath etc.).

If you have more ones than zeros, your next roll becomes an OMEGA SUCCESS, a success that can turn the tables in even the most dire of situations. If you have more zeros than ones, your next roll will become an OMEGA FAILURE, which can absolutely ruin even the most perfectly executed plans. If you have an equal amount of zeros and ones, treat your next roll as an ultra success.

• +2 TACTICAL

You must also harm yourself by 1D6 to gain the stat bonus.

• Ritual dagger (1D6 DAMAGE)

• -1 CREATIVE

BULLY: You know how to push people's buttons. You do not need to roll the dice if you attempt to make a person upset or angry. If you want to agitate a large group of people, you do so, but you'll end up getting caught in the crossfire, the referee will tell you how.

• Rotten tomato (Pisses someone off, 1 use)
• +1 FORCEFUL

• +2 REFLEXIVE

BUTTERFLY: It’s funny how things work out. Once per mission, you can choose to have an extraordinarily unlikely set of circumstances or coincidences resolve any one challenge, obstacle, or situation--within reason--that you are personally involved in. Afterwards, the referee will tell you what you need to do in the past to make sure these circumstances arise; the greater the magnitude of the resolution, the more difficult the setup becomes. Failure to do so will result in a time paradox and the subsequent erasure of your personal timeline as time repairs itself.

• Curious stopwatch (use to set up circumstances, one use)
• -2 CREATIVE

BUTTERFLY: You see the world in never-ending strings of cause and effect, and possess the ability to nudge fate in your favor. You may observe any event or object and get a rough estimate of how it might influence the future without your intervention. Additionally, once per mission, you may twist fate in a situation by stating what immediate future you want to nullify, such as stopping a bullet from killing a friend or stalling the villain's kill-switch. Note that your intervention will still cause a new butterfly effect to occur, of which the nature of this new future is decided by the referee.

• -2 TACTICAL

• Espresso shot (+1D6 HP, one use), + 1 CREATIVE

CALCULUS: You are able to predict what physical moves the people around you are about to make. So long as you are able to observe a subject, they can never make a physical move that surprises you, and you can tell if their reaction to threats will be to flee, back down, fight back, use lethal force, etc. Once per mission, when the referee narrates that a character makes a move, you can interrupt their action with a move of your own, which happens almost instantly and takes priority over their action. You can use this ability additional times per mission by spending a War Dice each time.

• Rear-view glasses (can focus to observe things behind you while worn)
• +1 TACTICAL

All allies who noticed you taking that damage get +1 to their next roll to avoid damage from the same source.

• Small robot bird (chirps when in danger)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

CAPED CRUSADER: You are an icon of the night, your name feared by those who hide in the shadows. Whenever rumors of your presence in the area are spread, your enemies will fear your arrival and cower at the sight of you. Additionally, once per mission, you can make a dramatic entrance into a room full of people and cause all unnamed characters to flee the area.

• Night-black cape (always billowing), +1 DAMAGE against unnamed characters

CAPTURE: You are skilled at capturing, taming, training, and battling with all sorts of creatures. You can throw a Capture Capsule to attempt to capture a creature or entity. These captures have an X-in-D6 chance to resist, where X is their remaining HP. Successful captures are added to your inventory, and can be summoned and recalled at will to aid you. Captures will obey your commands, but largely retain their free will, so powerful ones may require training, and ones with arguable personhood will fail to capture entirely. If a capture reaches 0 HP, it is lost for good.

• Capture Capsules (3 uses), -2 DAMAGE with all weapons

CASSANDRA: You've developed an uncanny knack for anticipating the future. Once per session you may ask for a vision and the referee will give you a kaleidoscopic series of images and impressions as an answer. The vision will pertain to your mission, but may be difficult to interpret.

• Predictive movement (1 ARMOR)
• +1 CREATIVE

CARDS: You love a contest of fate, maybe a little too much. Your stats are irrelevant.

Upon rolling the Dice with a stat, reveal the card associated, your stat bonus shall be the value of the card divided by 2, rounded up. Aces low, face cards count as 0. Cards must be shuffled by the referee prior to drawing cards.

• Playing cards (2 DAMAGE, thrown)
• +2 MAX HP

CATCHPHRASE: it may be tired, trite, or cliched, but there’s a phrase that’s uniquely associated with you. you gain +1 on rolls in which you work your catchphrase into a description of what you’re doing. Once each session, you may remove your sunglasses and repeat your catchphrase to reroll a failure.

• Flashy sunglasses (one use)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

CATMAN: feline ferocity at its finest. you can see in the dark, and once per session, if you were to drop to or below 0 HP, you can replace another trait on your sheet with a different one (either selected or randomly chosen) and come back to life at the end of the combat encounter where you died. you can only do this 9 times.

• Retractable claws (1D6-2 DAMAGE)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

CAUSAL: You know how this is all going to end. Once per mission upon rolling a failure, you may declare that the dice are breaking the timeline that you know is supposed to happen and force a scene to play out in the way the players vote on, essentially forcing a cutscene. After doing so, you suffer psychic exhaustion from stabilizing the timeline and take -2 to every roll until the end of the mission.

• Calendar (every day is the 30th of February?)
• +2 CREATIVE

CENSORED: You just can’t seem to ****ing express yourself. Your attacks can never kill their targets or cause gory effects like limb loss, instead miraculously knocking enemies out if your damage would reduce them to 0 HP. You’re also incapable of swearing, using drugs, and similarly censorship-worthy actions (For any determined during play, mark them down somewhere on your sheet). However, once per mission you may censor something grim, violent or otherwise objectionable and shift reality to fit the change (for example, an ally’s gruesome death by a monster might instead result in their capture, or a stockpile of chemical weapons might become glitter bombs).

• Can of blurred pixels (render something briefly imperceptible, one use)
• -1 CREATIVE

CEO: You are a flesh automaton animated by neurotransmitters. Due to a lucrative deal with a corporate death squad, you are capable of using their state-of-the-art resurrection systems. When you die during a mission, keep this character and choose to either revive them at the start of the next mission or liquidate them to pay off your corporate debt. However, they expect you to do intern work in exchange for using this tech. Your role is irrelevant, and you can only advance by completing your contract - You're a gig economy assassin now, so you've gotta kill someone during the mission. (roll D6, 1-2: Kill someone who really doesn’t deserve this, 3-4: Kill the toughest person there, 5-6: Kill the most important person there).

• K&H X20 assault rifle (1D6+2 DAMAGE, ACCURATE)

• +1 CREATIVE

CHARGER: You're an unstoppable force. You do not have to roll the dice whenever you try to knock someone or something down. If it's something particularly hard to knock over, such as a statue or a battle tank, you get badly bruised, giving you a -2 FRC penalty until the end of the mission.

• Chargin' Targe (1 ARMOR, accessory)
• -1 TACTICAL

CHALLENGE: You’re always up for a good challenge.

• Bandana (tighten around head for +1 to WAR DIE rolls once per mission, accessory), +1 WAR DIE per mission

COINSHOT: You can ricochet bullets off of coins to deal massive damage to your foes. At the beginning of the mission you gain 4 coins that you may toss into the air at any time; roll +REFLEXIVE to shoot the coin flying in the air. If the roll succeeds, the bullet will ricochet towards the nearest enemy and deal an extra 2 DAMAGE and ignore ARMOR. If you ricochet a bullet off of multiple coins, the damage bonus doubles (2 becomes 4, 4 becomes 8, etc.), but you take a cumulative -1 to your REFLEXIVE for every coin used. You gain a coin on a full success and can instantly gain 4 more by spending a WAR DIE.

• Revolver (1D6+1 DAMAGE)

• Zweihander (1D6+1 DAMAGE)
• +2 FORCEFUL

COLLECTOR: You have a cursed sword that gives you great power in exchange for the taking of heads in its name. Whenever you kill an enemy with 6 or more HP that has a head using this weapon, you gain +1 MAX HP and +1 DAMAGE for this weapon. The more heads you collect, the more you will be compelled to try and collect the heads of your own allies- at the beginning of a mission, if you have at least 3 heads, roll3D6. If you roll equal to or below your number of collected heads, your role becomes irrelevant and your will is subsumed by the sword - the only way you may advance is by collecting the head of an ally. Your role returns after completing the mission.

• Eyelander (1D6+1 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

COMBO: You are the pinnacle of combat! Every time you make a unique attack against an enemy, add +1 to your attack rolls. This bonus accumulates until your attacks become bland and samey, in which case this bonus returns to 0.

COMBO: Your power grows as you display your mastery. You have a combo meter starting at level 1- note it somewhere on your sheet.

Your combo meter has the following levels: 1: Deal -1 DAMAGE, -1 ARMOR 2: -1 ARMOR 3: Deal +1 DAMAGE 4: Deal +2 DAMAGE, +1 ARMOR 5: Deal +3 DAMAGE, +1 ARMOR, +1 to your highest stat 6: Deal +4 DAMAGE, +2 ARMOR, +1 to your highest stat, gain your COMBO TRAIT When you make a roll that doesn’t repeat anything you did in the last two rolls (like attacking with the same weapon twice, repeating a tactic, or utilizing a trait twice) and it’s at least a partial success, increase your combo meter by 1 and gain the appropriate benefit or drawback.

• UNO Reverse Card (reverse incoming DAMAGE, 1 use)
• -2 CREATIVE

CONTRARIAN: It's your life's purpose to argue, to be the devil's advocate, and the devil has granted you reality-shifting powers. When the referee says "no" to another player, you say "yes", and when the referee says "yes", you say "no". For each, once per session, your interruption can supercede the referee, and reality shifts appropriately. Your dice rolls are inverted. Snake Eyes (double 1) is an Ultra Success, 4 and under a success, 5-7 partial success, 8+ fail.

• Weaver gloves
• +1 CREATIVE

CONTAGION: You have an anomalous infection. If you gained this trait on character creation or as an advance, you’re a carrier and must randomly roll another trait as well. That trait is the infection’s symptom, and you’re encouraged to come up with a name for the condition after determining it. When you make skin-to-skin contact using your contagious touch, roll 1D6 and apply the corresponding effect: 1: Give the target CONTAGION and its symptom (but not the symptom’s associated item or stat bonus). 2-4: The target is briefly stunned by a physiological response such as intense coughing or sneezing. 5-6: Halve the target’s health, rounding up.

• Contagious touch (3 DAMAGE, doesn’t count as equipped)
• -2 FORCEFUL

CONVERTER: Whenever you spend a WAR DIE, you can instead use a METRIC WAR DIE for a guaranteed +3 instead of rolling 1D6. Additionally, whenever a measurement of something is given, found or described in either Metric or Imperial units, you can instantly convert whatever that something is to the same number or figure, but in the other measurement system. Shorten that 10 metre mecha to 10 feet! Swap out room temperature for below freezing! You can initially do this only once per mission; you can spend a METRIC WAR DIE to gain an extra three uses (but only once).

• Pocket Supercalculator (changes trajectory of incoming fire by converting attack vectors to algebra, one use)

COVENANT - THE SUN: You have pledged yourself to the Covenant of The Sun, setting yourself on the path of cooperation. You always know if an enemy has BOSS MOVES, and what they are. You may never take items off of defeated foes, and you cannot attack anything that is unaware of your presence. Your covenant items are Sol Medallions. These are created when an enemy with a BOSS MOVE has been defeated using the power of teamwork. Your role is irrelevant. Instead, you advance by spending these items on advancement rewards as if they were XP. (FIST ULTRA PG. 74) Once per mission, you can perform the Secret Gesture of the Sun, which opens up a free Rendezvous Point (FIST ULTRA pg. 6) in the area, either figuratively through an NPC's trust, or literally through hidden doors or paths.

• Phone (three uses, summons driver to your position)
• +1 TACTICAL

DRONE SHEPHERD: you have a drone or two under your command that fights by your side. Choose either a Shield Drone or an Attack Drone. Both can fly and do simple tasks remotely.

This trait can be taken twice.

• Drone (4 HP, 1 ARMOR, 1D6 DAMAGE), +1 ARMOR (shield drone) OR +1 TACTICAL (attack drone)

• -1 REFLEXIVE

DULLAHAN: You are immune to decapitation and can function without a head. Removing your head allows you to telepathically see through it (50 meters before things get too hazy).

• Headsman's axe (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

EDIT: The world is a story, and you have the power to rewrite it.

• +2 CREATIVE

EFFIGY: By spending 10 minutes using your crafting supplies and any similar materials you can gather, you can create one inanimate, life-sized replica of yourself or a bandmate.

• Attack tongue (1D6 DAMAGE, ARMOR-PIERCING).
• +1 CREATIVE

ELF: You can see in dim light as if it were daylight, but daylight doesn't do the old school night vision goggles blindness deal. A partial success to find a hidden door is treated as a full success. You live hundreds of years, it never really comes up and no one remembers so it doesn't affect anything. Dwarven bromance is an inevitability. If there is more than one elf in the group, they must slowly nod with respect each time they greet one another. It is the law.

• Yew longbow (1D6+1 DAMAGE)
• +2 REFLEXIVE

ENGELWERK: A cache of holy documents has taught you the secrets of building an angel. Well, most of the secrets anyway.

• Genetic enhancer (three uses)
• +1 TACTICAL

ENTANGLED: Once per session, you may choose to become quantumly entangled with another character that you can see as a reaction to something happening to them or them taking an action, instead making you the subject of the action, even if it defies logic.

• +1 CREATIVE

EMPYREAN: Humanity only exists at the whim of an entity from beyond the stars. You have created a face mask designed to represent this beautiful entity, and you wear it proudly. While wearing the mask, you may roll +FRC to enrapture another living being; on a success, they become a thrall under you as a cleric to the entity, performing their normal duties but ignoring you and your allies.

These events are guaranteed to happen, one way or another, next mission.

• VHS tape (briefly flash back to something you did offscreen last mission, one use)
• -2 TACTICAL

EQUALITY: you really like things to be equal. Equal distribution of pay and loot, equal opportunities for every FIST agent and equal chance of rolling any outcome. You now roll a D12 instead of 2D6. Once per mission you can force any 2D6 roll to be rolled on your D12 instead.

• Distributor pack (evenly distributes all players HP once per mission)
• +2 MAX HP

If it is an object you are capable of carrying with you, it instantly disappears. Erasing intangible concepts like specific memories, ideas, or even a rule in the game will require you to roll +CREATIVE, taking the worst three out of 4D6. If you roll a DAMNATION this way, you are instead erased from reality, and can’t be brought back by any means.

• Portable bottomless pit (send one of your enemies… nowhere, one use)
• -1 CREATIVE

• Unreliable handgun (1d6 DAMAGE, Jams on 6)

• Pistol (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +2 CREATIVE

FREESTYLING: You have mastered the art of storytelling, and no matter the situation you're always ready to light some sick fires. You gain +1 to rolls that you can spit an appropriate bar for off the dome. This bonus accumulates until you make a roll without rapping along, at which point your bonus reverts to 0. Rolling a failure with a cumulative bonus from this trait will incur DAMAGE equal to the bonus as you fall off the beat and say some goofy shit.

• Boombox (contains a random Cassette Tape)
• +1 CREATIVE

However, damage you take from fire ignores the armor bonus. Once per mission, you may sacrifice your aura to nullify all non-fire damage dealt towards you in a single instance, shattering the layer of protective ice, and losing all benefits and drawbacks of the aura. You regain your aura at the beginning of your next mission.

• Ice blade (3 DAMAGE, melts into water under high heat), Special modifiers (see trait description above)

YOUR BODY EXISTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM: from radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light, x-rays, to gamma rays. In your fully manifested form you appear as a blindingly bright figure, cause extreme interference with technology around you, and are dangerous to be near for most life. However, you are fully capable of controlling which wavelengths you exist on and filtering between them at will for as long as your fractal prism is intact.

• +1 FORCEFUL

GAY: Also, you're gay.

• Pride flag bandana (accessory)
• +1 to chosen attribute that you justify by saying it's because you're gay

GESTALT: You are greater than the sum of your parts. When you take this trait, it replicates one other trait you already have, including all of that trait's unique quirks, abilities, inventory items and ability boosts. Any "once per mission" ability that trait confers consequently becomes "twice per mission"; extrapolate additional quirks as necessary. While functionally replicating that trait, GESTALT is still GESTALT and can't be taken again.

• +1 CREATIVE

GHOSTS: You can see and communicate with the spirits of the recently deceased before they pass on.

• Spectral pendant (pulls gently towards powerful ghosts)
• +1 CREATIVE

GIANTKILLER: You are skilled in taking down foes many times your size. When wielding a melee weapon against a colossal opponent, add +1 to your Reflexive Score and the Damage you deal to them for each time their size is a multiple of yours.

If dealing with people who would recognize you without the glamour, or maintaining it for extended periods of time (long/multiple scenes), you must spend a war die to really lay it on thick.

• Your glamour (accessory, three uses)
• -1 TACTICAL

• Signal suppressor (one use)
• +1 FORCEFUL

GOBLINLORD: Though excruciating, the rituals seem to have worked; the triad of talismans passed down from your great uncle resonate with power when you pick them up. to use one, make a FORCEFUL roll: 0-6, the glass ball goes dim; 7-9: you summon a goblin, the glass ball goes dim; 10+: you summon a goblin, and the glass ball continues to hum; 6+6, as on 10+ but you summon two goblins.

• -2 TACTICAL

GUNKATA: You use guns more like melee weapons. You cannot make long ranged attacks using firearms (e.g. anything farther than 10 feet). However, you deal +1 DAMAGE with your attacks, and may apply melee and ranged bonuses/effects to your attacks.

• Sawn-off shotgun (1D6+1 DAMAGE)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

GUNKATA: Your mastery of guns and gun-like weapons is breathtaking. You can always perform feats of dexterity involving ranged weapons (such as quickly switching to a defeated enemy’s pistol, aiming a cumbersome LMG in a cramped space, or quickly attaching a new scope to a rifle during a pitched bale) without rolling the dice. You also deal +1 DAMAGE when shooting a target at point-blank range, and may bludgeon targets with ranged weapons to deal their standard DAMAGE.

• High-end pistol (1D6 DAMAGE, GRIP)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

GUESSWORK: You can read into the future—not by some psychology trick—but literally seeing into one of the many possible chain of events in an active scenario. You may roll a CRE, and on a success, the referee tells you what the enemies will do in a moment and a vague instruction on how to make it work in your favor. On a partial, the referee only tells you what the enemies will do. On a failure, you see nothing. The referee is allowed to intentionally lie on some of the events that happen (unless an ultra success occurs), as it is just one of the many possibilities; not a fixed outcome. (–1 FORCEFUL)

• Notebook (to write down what you see)
• +1 TACTICAL

When you take this trait, roll (or pick) 2 weapon tags. Whenever you have some time to rest out of combat, you can use your Kit and Roll TACTICAL to put one of those tags on a weapon. When you advance, you can roll or pick another tag instead of the usual advancement rewards.

• Gunsmithing kit (three uses)
• +1 TACTICAL

HAEMATURGE: You are among the very few who mastered the forbidden art of blood magic, gambling with your life just for the taste of the occult. In addition to WAR DICE, you have access to a special D6 BLOOD DIE. Once per mission, you can roll on your BLOOD DIE, taking damage equal to the result through ritualistic bloodletting. You may then use the result rolled to do one of the following: a) add to a roll to do something risky as you would with a WAR DIE, b) heal another character for HP equal to the result, or c) invoke spontaneous haemorrhaging within a single target, dealing instant damage equal to the result, ignoring armor, without needing to make an attack roll.

• Ritual bloodletting kit (stores one vial of your arcane blood, one use)
• +2 MAX HP

HAIR: Your golden locks are shiny, healthy, and very, very long. They have a mind of their own, and can be used as a secondary set of limbs, allowing you to climb surfaces or grab things while keeping your hands and feet free. The only thing they can’t do is wield weapons or shields.

• 2-in-1 dry shampoo + conditioner (+1D6 HP, one use)
• +2 MAX HP

HALE: you are perhaps the healthiest and hardiest person alive. Your physical form is a Frank Frazetta painting come to life. You have never fallen ill, your metabolism is godlike, and athletic feats are trivial for you. You are also as dumb as a bag of hair, but in an endearing kind of way.

HANDHOLDER: You’ve never had to do this on your own, thankfully. You don’t know what would happen to you if you ever did. When you start a mission, you may explain how a teammate gifted you a trait before the mission and immediately advance by taking that trait.

HAWKEYE: For whatever reason, you always carry your stash of trick arrows with you. If you wish to use a trick arrow: after you roll to attack with your trick arrow bow, but before you deal damage, roll on the weapon tags table (Pg. XX) for the effect of your arrow. With sufficient time a drawn arrow may be identified prior to rolling to attack. A war die can be expended to reroll on the weapon tags table.

• Flaming Jack-o'-lantern (1D6 DAMAGE)

To perform this hidden technique, accomplish the following tasks in order: 1) personally deal damage to a target, 2) throw any equipment you’re wielding on the ground and perform the secret kata, 3) calmly walk up to your target, 4) punch them right in the heart, twice. their heart’s chambers will separate the next time they act.

HECKLERS: You have a gang of people who berate and heckle your enemies and cheer you on. These people cannot attack anyone and generally act like buffoons and/or make a lot of noise.

• Bulletproof vest under suit (1 ARMOR, inconspicuous)

HELLBOUND: Thanks to the pact you made with your demonic patron, you gain the power to cheat fate. DAMNATION always counts as a normal failure for you, and you can spend a WAR DIE to add +2 to any attribute until the end of the mission, or immediately regain 1D6 HP when you drop to 0 HP. However, your role is irrelevant - in exchange, your advancement (and life) depends on your obligation to fulfill your patron’s cruel demands - roll 1D6 to determine them each mission (1-2: Turn your bandmates against one another. 3-4: Convince a good-natured person to commit great evil. 5-6: Sacrifice six innocents to your patron.)

LUCKY: Did you make a deal with a supernatural entity? Is your quantum probability field abnormal? Have you just been lucky about being lucky? Whatever the cause, put your feet up and take a break, because when the going gets tough it’s better to be lucky than good. Once per session, use a War Die without consuming it.

• Prototype Medusa revolver (Worst 2 of 5d6), -1 CREATIVE, +1 War Die

MACGYVER: You are a genius-level improvisational engineer. If you have a reasonable amount of time, you can create gadgets or booby traps out of everyday items. When attempting to defuse a bomb, roll twice and take the better result.

• Swiss army knife (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 TACTICAL

MAGE: You have the ability to use magic, explain why. Pick what sorts of spells you’d like to use, before a session you can add up to five prepared spells to be able to use in a mission, every time you go to use one of the five prepared spells, roll+Creative to see if your spell casting goes correctly, Failures means the spell goes completely awry and does something different( the referee will decide what), this will always be negative. Partial successes means an element of the spell is different from what you wanted, but this isn’t always bad. Full success does what is expected and 12’s means the spell has additional positive effects. Spells can only be used once per mission. If you have prep time during a mission, you can change unused spells to be something different

• Spellbook
• +1 CREATIVE

MANIC: You have a distorted view of reality. Whenever you roll to do something risky, roll a d6. On a 4+, you add +2 to the roll, otherwise you add -2 to the roll.

• Prescription pills (+1D6 HP, one use)
• -1 CREATIVE

MARK: You leave an impression on your foes, which in turn makes them want to kill you even more when you would deal fatal DAMAGE to an enemy, you may instead leave your mark on them, such as a scar across the eye or a missing finger, and have them retreat from the mission area. Every time you leave your mark on someone, you gain either 1D6 MAX HP, +1 to an attribute of your choice, or 1D6 WAR DICE. However, your humiliated enemy is going to want payback, and they’ll gain new strength from their hatred of you. These nemeses gain double their MAX HP, +1 ARMOR, and an appropriate trait-like ability; this bonus becomes exponential for every 4 nemeses you create (4 nemeses makes the bonus triple their MAX HP, +2 ARMOR, and two traits, 8 makes the bonus quadruple their MAX HP, +3 ARMOR, and three traits, etc.). Your bonus for humiliating enemies increases alongside nemesis strength in a similar fashion. Before the beginning of a mission, roll 1D6; if you roll equal to or below the amount of nemeses you have, one is guaranteed to appear in the mission.

• Calling card (Throw on the corpse of an enemy you killed to heal 1D6 HP, 1 use)
• +1 FORCEFUL

• The mask
• +2 TACTICAL

MASKING: You have trouble displaying your emotions, so you possess a limitless menagerie of masks to assist you. You always have a mask to depict your desired emotions or image, including images of subjects which you have not even seen. Once per mission, you may create a perfect mask portraying someone else, while wearing this mask you have a complete understanding of their memories, ideology and thought process. You are able to do anything the portrayed individual can do, within the bounds of your physical limits.

• Big fist (1D6+1 DAMAGE)
• -3 REFLEXIVE

MASOCHIST: You live only to take on more pain. You always take double DAMAGE from all sources. However, you may use the DAMAGE you take to enhance your abilities: mark down every 1 DAMAGE you take. You may use up one of these markers to add +1 to any of your rolls. Additionally, once per mission, you may completely ignore death for a short period, allowing you to absorb a theoretically infinite amount of DAMAGE. However, you die after you roll the dice six times while in this state, and you can only exit this state if you are healed back to your MAX HP.

• Whip (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +6 MAX HP

MASTERMIND: You have a plan for everything to a point of absurdity. Once per mission, when you or an ally fail a roll to do something risky, you may describe how the failure was secretly a part of your master plan, making the consequences of the failure help you out in a way of your choosing.

• Bag of potato chips (+1D6 HP, one use)
• +2 TACTICAL

MASTERMIND: The spotlight is not for you. You prefer to exert your influence over the situation through whispered suggestions and planted ideas.

• Collapsible chessboard (good way to pass time)
• +2 TACTICAL

MEDIGUN: You own a piece of marvelous technology that can instantly heal even the most grievous of wounds. Once per mission, you may set this device to overcharge, giving it one of the three following effects: +2 ARMOR for a teammate while your beam is attached to them, +2 DAMAGE for a teammate while your beam is attached to them, or setting the Medigun to heal 2D6 HP instead for the rest of the mission.

• Medigun (1D6 Healing)
• +1 TACTICAL

MEMBERSHIP: You’re a loyal customer of Colony’s, and they’re always happy to offer you their best merchandise. While you have this trait, Colony is guaranteed to appear to you (but not necessarily the rest of your team) every mission. Additionally, anything you purchase from them is discounted- colony’s STANDARD INVENTORY costs one item, and their DELUXE INVENTORY costs three. Colony will burst out of your body if you die.

• Extraterrestrial gene splicer (reroll one dice on a bacteria canister you own, three uses)
• +1 CREATIVE

METALLIC: maybe you’ve been dipped in chrome, had most of your organs replaced with stainless steel and electrical wiring, or were always made of metal, but the result is the same: you can conduct and redirect electricity and are weak to magnets. when touching a source of electricity (or attacked with such), you can make an attack to shoot a bolt of electricity that chains to your FORCEFUL score’s targets. [Author: ghostlenin]

• Rubber jumpsuit (0 ARMOR), +1 ARMOR
• +1 FORCEFUL

METAMORPHOSIS: You can shapeshift, freely altering your anatomy into new biological forms. Once per mission, you may transform to gain a useful adaptation—work out a special power with the referee that reflects your new form (e.g. gills to breathe underwater or compound eyes that see heat signatures).

• Mutagenic serum (+1D6 HP, one use)
• +2 MAX HP

METROPOLITAN: your knowledge of urban areas borders on the supernatural. you always know directions to a place as long as you know the name of it and once per mission you can locate a shortcut to a place, even if it is inaccessible otherwise.

• Psychic ID card (gain access to most restricted areas)
• +1 CREATIVE

MIDNIGHT: Once per mission, you can instantly change your appearance on a superficial level. Your clothing, hair, and any makeup can all be altered, but what lays underneath must remain the same. At exactly midnight (adjusts to timezone), everything will revert back to normal.

• Magic gourd (transforms into orange van, consumable)
• +1 CREATIVE

MIMICRY: You have trained yourself in the ways of the parrot. You do not have to roll the dice to replicate any voice or sound you’ve heard before.

• Tape recorder (plays back sound)
• +1 CREATIVE

MIND BULLETS: You can shoot psychic energy from your brain! Who needs guns? Once per session you can use your psychic energy to destroy any weapon in sight automatically, causing it to explode like a grenade (1D6 damage). This trait can be taken twice, increasing the damage of your mind bullets.

• Mind bullets (1D6+1/+2 DAMAGE)
• +1 CREATIVE

MINGLE: You have a distinct ability to make people think you belong somewhere you don’t. Once per mission, if you would be noticed by someone in a restricted area, you may give them a silent nod that makes them accept your presence as if you’re supposed to be there.

• Bag of sandwiches (Heals 1D6 HP, three uses, good for sharing)
• +1 CREATIVE

MIXUP: You have a nasty four way mixup that can catch anyone off guard; scrubs are already petitioning the devs to patch it out next update. Whenever you would roll to attack, you may choose to roll 4D6 instead of 2D6; If any of the dice rolled lands on a six, you hit your opponent and deal your maximum DAMAGE. However, if none of the dice land on a six, your opponent blocks your mix and counter hits you; you receive double the DAMAGE you would normally receive from them.

• Magic shoes (allows you to airdash)
• +2 REFLEXIVE

MONKEY: you’re like a gorilla but smaller with a tail and penchant for flinging feces. you can manipulate items that require fine motor control with your feet and hands. you can also use your tail to manipulate objects, just not very well.

• Cool looking stick covered in bugs (+1D6 HP, one use)
• +1 TACTICAL

MONTAGE: You get so many things done that the narrative simply can’t keep up at a normal pace. Once per mission, you may declare three unique, risky actions you’d like to attempt and make a roll with no stats, bonuses, penalties or WAR DICE applied.Your result will apply to all three actions, and the ref will narrate the important highlights (or lowlights) of their results.

• Cassette player (comes with a tape of your theme song)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

MORTICIAN: As an expert in the care of the recently deceased, you can determine the cause of death within a corpse without needing to roll the dice. With a reasonable amount of prep time, you can also treat a corpse with your embalming toolkit and do one of the following: 1) repair and fortify it, granting it +2 MAX HP if it rises from the dead. It is considered fresh for a week for all purposes of traits requiring a fresh corpse; or 2) give proper funerary rites to it, preventing it from rising from the dead. Once per session, if you perform this to give a proper send off a dead comrade, you gain +1 WAR DIE.

• Embalming toolkit (three uses)
• +1 TACTICAL

MOTH: Between real and unreal, factual and conspiratorial, mystery flutters on dark wings. When investigating a scene or searching for clues, you may roll +CRE to perform a leap in logic. On a success, you're able to garner useful information about a scene from mere scraps. On a failure, the Moth takes delight in the mystery, and an impossible wrinkle (ex. cryptids, double identities, aliens) becomes temporarily true, making the situation worse. Your role is irrelevant- advance at the end of a mission if you put yourself in danger chasing a secret, mystery, or truth.

• Dead moth (Comes to life near danger)
• +1 CREATIVE

MOTLEY: Nothing about you is cohesive. you seem to be made of multiple different, competing components that are barely held together by solid stitching and sheer force of will. it is hard for you to speak in coherent sentences. When you roll the minimum on a damage roll, roll 2D6: choose 1 of those dice to deal as damage and the other to regain that much HP.

• Jester’s hat (0 ARMOR), +1 TACTICAL, +1 REFLEXIVE
• -1 FORCEFUL

MYCELIAL: You've always preferred the underbelly of things, darker and removed from the rest of the world — and now, some of the dark underbelly is in you. You have a fungal infestation, a parasite to be frank; but it's not all bad — some nutrients here and there, a chunk of your skull or chest cavity taken up by mushroom (internally! Probably...), and you get some nice benefits. Like tendrils that can connect to the recently dead, letting you once per scene examine through someone's memories, and discover information that they knew (the clarity of information dependent on how 'fresh' the body is).

• Spore breath (1D6+1 DAMAGE, POISONED)
• -1 MAX HP

MYCELIUM: You are an emissary of the fungal superbrain. You are capable of communicating with colonies of any type of fungus; they will be able to answer any question as long as they could reasonably do so (e.g. describing a vibration they felt, what they have eaten recently, or a nearby person that carries a fungal infection). Additionally, once per mission, you may unleash a cloud of spores from your body that will irritate and inflame flesh, causing most biological entities to flee from you.

• Bad apple (heals fungal creatures for 1D6 HP, consumable)
• +1 CREATIVE

NAME: A name holds great power, and you know that most of all. You have +1 on rolls made against characters whose real name you know (not nicknames, not callsigns, not codenames). You lose this effect if they also know your real name.

• Magical contract (learn one characters true name, consumable)
• +1 TACTICAL

NAVIGATOR: You are skilled in travelling unmapped and unfamiliar terrain, from industrial zones to alien wastelands. If you find a viable vantage point, you can immediately identify key points of interest and always know where you are in relation to them.

• Old compass (anomaly detection)
• +1 TACTICAL

NECROBIONICIST: You never let a good body go to waste. With a reasonable amount of prep time, you can reanimate a fresh corpse to do your bidding using experimental technology. It is restored to MAX HP, and retains all traits or other abilities it had in life, but is otherwise (mostly) mindless. However, there is always one complication - roll 1D6 (1: It becomes hostile and aggressive, attacking everyone on sight. 2-5: It is visibly falling apart, losing 1 HP for each action taken. 6: It regains memories of its former self, and begs you to end its torment.) Unless you rolled a 1 or 6, you can always command your cyber-zombie to perform an action by rolling +TACTICAL.

• Reanimator’s toolkit (contains cybernetics and bio-mechanical ligaments, three uses)
• +1 TACTICAL

NECROMANCER: Through some uncanny methods and enough prep time, you can raise the dead. These men are under your control and listen to only your command, which might bite you in the ass as they take everything literally and are always listening. The dead retain some of their motor skills and unique abilities from life.

• Suspicious book
• +1 CREATIVE

NECROMANCER: Through ritual magic, you may animate and control undisturbed corpses within eyeshot without rolling the dice (but you cannot control more at once than your CREATIVE score, with the minimum being one). To determine the HP of a reanimated corpse, roll 2D6, take the lowest, and halve the result (rounding down) with the minimum being one. Undead cannot follow complex instructions, use tools, or act without direct necromantic oversight. Clear, simple orders like “follow me,” “wait here,” or “guard this” will always be followed, but more complex tasks will require a +CREATIVE roll. Note that the exact results of this roll may not always be immediately clear, at the referee's discretion.

• Necromancer's staff (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 CREATIVE

NECROMANCER: You can manipulate the dead to do your bidding. You may resurrect the corpse of a dead being after 10 minutes of undisturbed dark sacraments, or instantly by spending a WAR DIE. The resurrected dead will have half of their MAX HP due to their decaying flesh, but +2 ARMOR at all times due to their inability to feel pain. The resurrected are capable of following simple commands, but are incapable of doing complicated tasks such as repairing a vehicle or hacking a computer. Agents of death such as psychopomps will always be hostile to you.

• Dark robes (0 ARMOR)
• +1 CREATIVE

NEEDLES: Your study of both chaos theory and acupuncture has given you insight into the weaknesses of abstract and physical systems. Three times per session, you may have your attacks ignore ARMOR.

• Metal quills (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

NEMESIS: There’s someone out there you have been fighting against for your entire life, and you’re not about to let them win. Upon picking this trait, create another character sheet with an equal amount of traits and other bonuses as your current character and hand this sheet to the referee. This character advances when you do; describe who this character is and why you hold a grudge against them. Before the beginning of a mission, roll 1D6. There is an X-in-1D6 chance that your nemesis will be in the mission area and attempt to destroy you, with x equal to the amount of missions passed without your nemesis appearing. Your nemesis is like you, and whenever you or they would roll the dice to do something risky, you make an opposed roll to them and vice versa. Whenever you would deal fatal damage to your nemesis, there is a 3-in-1D6 chance that they survive the encounter and retreat to fight another day. If you would kill your nemesis, you receive their traits, WAR DICE, and MAX HP. If you are able to reconcile and put your differences aside, they join your team and follow you into missions similar to the RECRUIT trait.

• Dueling sword (1D6+1 DAMAGE, clashes with your nemesis for one WAR DIE once per mission), +1 WAR DIE per mission

NEWSWORTHY: beyond just being famous, your name always seems to be in the news and everybody has an opinion about you, whether good or bad. In any group you’re in, the limelight always seems to fall more onto you than anyone else. whenever you do something risky that involves a social interaction, roll an extra 1D6. if you roll an odd number on this die, subtract it from your roll. if you roll an even number, add it.

• Business suit (0 ARMOR)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

NOBODY: You're easily forgotten by friends and foe, even by those that are closest to you. Whenever an enemy deals damage to you, there's a 1-in-1D6 chance that they forget about you (including the fact that they hit you).

• flashbang grenade (disorients targets, one use)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

NO MERCY: No prisoners is your motto, roll a d6 when near a dying enemy to pull a gruesome finisher on 5-6, otherwise your blow doesn't land(this probably can’t stack with harvest) when you land a finishing blow, describe what you did in detail(or don’t, ask the ref) and then gain an extra dice on your next roll and take the best 2, using this trait might make enemies more brutal towards the team as well.

• Large blade (1D6+2 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

NON-EUCLIDEAN: You’ve realized that the physical world is not a flat surface, and is instead akin to a folded piece of paper with holes within it; You have learned to travel through these holes. You may create a fold in spacetime that allows you to pass from one physical point to another; this path will include hard to traverse geometry and entities that may be hostile towards interlopers. This fold may be accessed by anyone, but you may seal either end of the fold by rolling +CREATIVE. On a success, you close it without a hitch. On a partial success, spacetime will experience a minor rupture, and everyone inside will experience some adverse effect until they leave. On a failure, the fold collapses in on itself, destroying everything inside.

• Quantum thievery gloves (allows you to reach through solid surfaces, accessory)
• +2 CREATIVE

NOISE SUPPRESSION FIELD: You use an energy field that makes all your actions silent. Enemies can't hear you and your weapons have "Silenced" keyword. Loud actions will become regular.

• Heavy pistol (1D6+1 DAMAGE, ARMOR-PIERCING)
• +1 TACTICAL

NORTH STAR: You are learning an ancient martial art which focuses on attacking opponents' pressure points, allowing you to kill them instantly. Once per season, on a humanoid target, you can instantly kill them using their pressure points. Afterwards, you can attempt to do this again but will instead have to Roll+forceful to see if it’s a success, partials will do a 1d6+Forceful. This technique might not work on certain people at all–the referee can explain why

• ?, +1 FORCEFUL
• +2 MAX HP

NOSE: Your nose is oddly pointy and strangely sturdy. This makes it a surprisingly effective weapon, dealing 1 DAMAGE on a hit. Each time you roll a success when convincing others of a lie, it grows and gains a +1 DAMAGE bonus (maximum of +5, resets every mission), but everyone now knows you lied.

• Nose protector (accessory)
• -1 CREATIVE

NIGHTMARE: Whatever you may be, you embody primordial fear itself - even your mere presence unnerves everyone around you. Whenever you try delve into a target’s greatest fears, roll +CREATIVE. On a partial success or above, you learn what they are most afraid of, as well as their CHOKE score, if they have one. On a full success, their CHOKE score is also reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1, and they are discouraged from attacking you. When a target becomes CHOKED, you appear to them as their worst nightmare, and the damage you deal from your first successful attack roll against them is doubled.

• Shadow veil (0 ARMOR, +1 to rolls made to hide in darkness)
• +1 FORCEFUL

NUISANCE: You know just the right way to piss anyone off. Whenever you annoy an opponent, they focus their aggression on you and deal +2 damage to you. When you hit an annoyed enemy, roll twice and take the best result.

• Kukri (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

OATS: something is wrong with you at a molecular level, and the thing that is wrong with you is that instead of liquid blood, it’s oats. except it’s not just your blood. All of you is made of oats. when you walk, oats just flake off you. when you get hit, oats explode off your body into the air. when you consume boiling water, you can turn into a puddle of sentient oatmeal. it takes you 1 hour to reconstitute yourself into human form. if bits of you get separated while in oatmeal puddle form, when you reconstitute, you have an appropriate amount fewer HP until you can rest and regrow your oats. eating oats does not make you stronger

• Samovar
• +1 TACTICAL

OBSCURA: Become so good at hiding that others doubt your existence. Once per mission, choose two media through which you become undetectable, such as sight, hearing, surveillance cameras, tracking devices etc. You gain +2 to REFLEXIVE rolls against anything that requires those media to perceive you, however your imperceptibility ends if you attack, get hurt, or affect your surroundings in a significant way - the Referee decides which.

• High-tech zentai suit (0 ARMOR, obscures your entire body)

• +1 TACTICAL

ORBS: You can manipulate an ancient resource known as Orbs. You have a total of 3 orb slots; whenever you roll a success with an attribute, you generate a corresponding orb (FORCEFUL generates a lightning orb, REFLEX generates a plasma orb, TAC generates a frost orb, and CRE generates a dark orb). Lightning orbs deal 3 extra DAMAGE whenever you deal DAMAGE, plasma orbs give +1 to all rolls, Frost orbs give +1 ARMOR, and dark orbs gain an extra 1D6 DAMAGE every time you roll the dice and can be expended to deal DAMAGE in lieu of a regular attack. As additional advancement options you may gain 1 extra orb slot or double the effectiveness of your orbs.

• Cracked orb (start every mission with one lightning orb, accessory), +1 WAR DIE per mission

• -2 CREATIVE

OVERSIZED: Your small stature doesn’t stop you from wielding the biggest weapon you can get your hands on. When you attack with a weapon with the HEAVY tag, you can choose to roll + your inverted FORCEFUL score and add DAMAGE equal to your inverted FORCEFUL score (e.g. +1 if you have -1 FRC, or -2 if you have +2 FRC).

• -2 CREATIVE

OWL EYE: You can detect small details on a long distance without using optics.

• Emerald-colored glasses (makes magic shine)
• +1 CREATIVE

• Well-used dueling pistol (1D6 DAMAGE)
• +1 FORCEFUL

PHAGOMORPH: Science struggles to fit you into any one category.

But if you *don't* touch them again, and allow them to live longer than 60 seconds, someone or something nearby will die in their place. (The victim will be the rough equivalent -- a human for a human, a plant for a plant, etc.)

• Rolling pin (1D6 DAMAGE), +1 WAR PIE per mission

PIERCE: You can break armor and flesh down with your might. Whenever you roll max DAMAGE against an enemy, you remove 1 ARMOR from them permanently; If they do not have any ARMOR, you instead remove 2 MAX HP from them.

PITCHER: You can precisely throw anything that fits in the palm of your hand with ease. If an object is too large and/or too heavy, you may still throw it by rolling the dice.

• Baseball

PLAN: You always have a plan B. Before the beginning of the mission, discuss the “plan A” with your teammates, your general plan of approach. The first time someone rolls a failure while following plan A, you may declare that it’s time for plan B and do the complete opposite of your original method of approach (e.g.quiet and stealthy becomes loud and violent, lightning fast becomes slow and methodical). The first time everyone would roll to do something risky following this new plan, they automatically succeed instead.

• Hidden derringer (1D6 DAMAGE, COLLAPSIBLE)
• +1 TACTICAL

PORTER: You’re very good at carrying things. As long as you can explain how you’re carrying it (such as holding it, putting it in a pack, tying it onto your arm), you can carry any object, no matter its weight. The referee can never state that you drop anything you’re carrying.

• Portable ladder (30 feet long, folds up into a small box)

POSSESS: Many operatives resort to stealing dead bodies for their abilities. You on the other hand can possess a living creature by rolling +FORCEFUL. On a success, your body falls unconscious, transferring your soul into your host. You can pilot the host’s movements and speak through them, though this doesn’t mean they have no chance to fight back. If you actively put the host’s body in obvious danger, roll +TACTICAL to appeal to their consciousness. Failure to do so or the death of the host results in your soul getting forced back into your body, taking 3 DAMAGE. If your body dies before you return, so does your soul.

• Creepy doll (temporary refuge for your soul)
• +1 FORCEFUL

POSSESSION: Once per session you can channel demonic power to transform into a terrifying beast. Roll +FORCEFUL to force your enemies to either flee or grovel. You can roll 3D6 and drop the lowest when attacking fleeing enemies. When reduced to 0 hp you return to your normal form and hp from before you transformed and fall unconscious. When you transform roll 1d6, on a 1 or a 2 you lose control of yourself and the referee controls you until your transformation ends.

• Ravenous maw (2D6 DAMAGE, can only use when transformed)
• -1 TACTICAL

POSSESSION: You are able to exert your will and possess the bodies of other beings. You may roll+CREATIVE to project your soul into the body of any living being that you see. Your original body becomes cold and lifeless upon possession, and is completely defenseless. While possessing something, you use all of their stats and items while still retaining any traits you may have. If you take more than 3 DAMAGE while possessing something, the original spirit will attempt to reassert control and force you out, making you roll+CREATIVE to maintain control. Every time you are forced back into your body you lose 3 max HP until the end of the mission.

• ? (?)
• +2 CREATIVE

PRACTICE: When your moment arrives, you can finally show off your training. At the beginning of a mission, choose one action to begin practicing (e.g. a cool flying kick, curving a bullet’s trajectory, or the perfect landing.)

• Portable plot hole (one use)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

PRINCESS: Who let you on this mission? You’re supposed to be up in the tower, safe and sound! Once per mission, you can feign helplessness, causing a hopeful suitor to enter the scene, ready to aid.

• Lovely singing voice (attracts woodland creatures)
• +1 TACTICAL

PROTAGONIST: The story has deemed you important. Your influence on the world around you is a little stronger than others’. The first WAR DIE you add to a roll each mission has its effects doubled.

On a 4-6, you roll 4D6 and take the best three.

• Experimental tachyon launcher (4D6 ARMOR-PIERCING DAMAGE, roll 1D6 before firing (1: Actually fires properly, 2: Heals target for 4D6 HP, 3: fires, but targets something completely different, 4:Fires, but only does 1 DAMAGE, 5: Doesn’t fire at all, 6: Internal generator overcharges, causing the gun,after 5 minutes, to explode and deal 20D6 DAMAGE to everything around it))

• Wooden complexion (1 ARMOR, does not count as equipped)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

PYROMANCER: Once in a battle, you may pick a target that is mostly dry, and provided that you are completely dry and you target is in full view, roll 2d6 +3 for damage.

If your incineration failed or the target survived, they gain an exact knowledge of your location.

• Fire proximity suit (1 ARMOR), ?

QUACK: You’ve tricked everyone into thinking you picked the EXPERT trait. When you choose this trait, choose an “-ology,” such as sociology, entomology, or cryptozoology. When you successfully convince someone of a fact related to your field of “expertise” that is blatantly wrong, gain a WAR DIE.

• Obviously fake PHD (It looks pretty convincing, you think)
• +1 CREATIVE

QUEST: You’re a chosen hero who does the same things over and over again for slightly better equipment. On taking this trait and after each mission, the ref will give you a quest for your next mission and decide on an associated reward. You choose the difficulty: easy quests (e.g. ‘kill 4 enemy grunts’) grant rewards like a grenade, a healing potion or a one use consumable. Medium quests (e.g. ‘Solve the mystery of a civilian’s disappearance’) grant rewards like armor, weapon tags or a meeting with a helpful NPC. Hard quests (e.g. ‘Kill a dragon on one-on-one combat’) grant rewards like unique collectibles, a free advance or an opportunity to fight a boss you shouldn’t be able to yet.

You have a radar system in your vision that provides a top-down wireframe view of your immediate surroundings, and also has icons showing the locations of three specific things- write them on your sheet when you take this trait (such as medical items, CROs, land vehicles, gun parts, dimensional rifts, or predatory animals). These icons may get bigger and less precise if something’s particularly well-hidden, but they’ll always give you some idea of its physical location and move with their corresponding thing. Your tracking beacon creates a secondary radar map of the area surrounding it on use, which you can always view until the end of the mission. When you advance, you may add three more types of icon to your radar instead of taking one of the usual advancement options.

• Tracking beacon (one use)
• +1 TACTICAL

RADIOACTIVE: You emit some form of intense and harmful radiation. Once per mission you can unleash that radiation on an opponent for 2d6 damage, ignoring enemy ARMOR completely.

• Gravity gun (sends people flying)
• +1 REFLEXIVE

RALLY: You can summon hidden strength in you and your allies with your heroism. Once per mission, you may plant your rally flag in the ground, giving you and all nearby allies +1 ARMOR and +2 to all of their rolls. However, if anyone retreats from the vicinity of the rally flag, their ARMOR is one point less effective and they take double DAMAGE until they find cover. If using the rally flag turns around a hopeless situation, everyone gains a WAR DIE.

• Rally flag (inspires everyone who gazes upon it, one use)
• +1 CREATIVE

RAMPAGE: You’re full of destructive power that’s begging to be let out. You can always identify existing weak points in nearby structures and objects without rolling the dice.

While rampaging, you also have +1 ARMOR and can’t be stopped or restrained unless you die.

• Latex monster suit (1 ARMOR)
• +1 FORCEFUL

RAMPAGE: You can enter a blind rage at will, compounding your destructive force on itself. Each time you succeed on a FORCEFUL roll, gain +1 FORCEFUL.

RATTY: you are a human person of very few words that also happens to always be wearing so much clothing that no one else has ever seen what your totally normal human being body looks like. you like doing things that human beings do, such as playing in a band with your friends and being a mercenary soldier. you absolutely are not a jumble of rats.

RAPID: Your combat philosophy is to spray and pray. You may, at any time, attach your LEADSPITTER module to any firearm, pushing it into fuller-auto mode.

However, the recoil will become so powerful that you may as well not even bother aiming; All rolls to attack with a fuller auto weapon suffer a -3 penalty, and on a failure you will hit an unintended target(s). * LEADSPITTER module (sets firearms to fuller auto mode), -2 TACTICAL RECOGNIZABLE: you are a public figure of some renown (musician, actor, politician, etc.). whenever someone sees you undisguised for the first time, roll 1d6; on a 6, they recognize you. anytime you take a risky action that involves someone that recognizes you, roll 3d6 and take the best two.

Additionally, once per mission you can bring an object from a reflection into the real world with you.

• Tactical mirror (hand-sized)

Whenever this artificial body is reduced to 0 HP, the body must be extracted from the mission for repairs or you will have to craft another one, rendering your character unable to insert until the end of the next mission. Failing a +CRE roll with this trait will cause psychic interference, causing your traits to change as if affected by VOLATILE (not rerolling REMOTE).

• Spare parts (+1D6 HP, one use)
• -1 CREATIVE

RESIZE: You have a device that can increase or decrease the size of any object by zapping it with a laser (down to half or up to double its normal size). Objects can be returned to their normal size by zapping them again; otherwise, they automatically return to their normal size after 2D6 minutes.

After which, this may never happen in the current game ever again, no matter what.

• Redesigned outfit (opinions on you are always in the extremes, 1 ARMOR)
• -2 CREATIVE

REVENANT: You're a conduit for the restless dead. Once per mission, you may speak with one dead character in the area and ask them a question.

• Bouquet of carnations (Induces mourning, 3 uses)

They make one attack or activate one trait they had in life, succeeding without a roll, before disappearing forever into the afterlife, never to be summoned or brought back to life again.

• Grave token (accessory)
• +1 CREATIVE

SECRET KEEPER: You've been recruited to an agency that would prefer the paranormal aspects of the world remain secret. From now on your role is irrelevant instead at the start of each mission the referee will give you something to cover up. Henceforth you only advance if you achieve this goal. In addition to aid in this you've been equipped with a memory altering device, you may use it to succeed at convincing any number of people that a single falsehood is in fact true without needing to roll the dice.

• Memory altering device (three uses)
• +1 CREATIVE

SEPTICFLESH: As Patient Zero of a supernatural, incurable, necrotizing plague that keeps you alive in a strange way, you are immune to all poisons and other diseases. However, you can never have higher than 6 MAX HP. You can always substitute a normal weapon attack with your pestilent touch against bare skin (3 DAMAGE). On a successful hit, the target must also roll 1D6. If the result is equal to or higher than your MAX HP, they are infected - flesh starts rotting away, pus leaks from every orifice, and they take 1 extra DAMAGE the next time they take DAMAGE. When you and anyone you infected die, your corpses rapidly decay into sludge.

• -2 MAX HP

SERPENTSKIN: Perhaps the Devil was onto something when they snuck into Eden in an ophidian form. Once per mission, if you roll snake eyes (two 1’s) but not outright DAMNATION, you may reroll one of the two dice.

Your scales regrow at the end of the mission.

• Serpentine scales (1 ARMOR), +1 REFLEXIVE
• -1 FORCEFUL

SHATTER: Anything can break around you, whether you wish it or not. Once per mission, you may shatter any item in your inventory, as if it was an accessory.

Any stat bonuses associated with the trait vanish and the character cannot regain this trait by any means possible. Doing this leaves a mark on the character, be it physical or otherwise - the referee decides on what that mark is.

• Pocket watch (always tells the right time), + 1 CREATIVE

SHIFT: You can shift into another dimension to avoid and bypass threats.

As long as the whole party agrees, you cut to the end of the current scene to find yourselves safe, and alive. The referee will describe your new current situation, and each player can describe a flashback to a moment that was skipped. Through the flashback, you may choose to have completed your immediate objective, but the referee will include a complication (everyone gets injured, you used up some items, the macguffin is a decoy, etc.).

• Bedtime story (put someone to sleep, one use)
• -2 REFLEXIVE

SPECIALIZED: You decided that you do not need to expand your roster of powers, and should rather hone the ones you have now to perfection.

Note that the attribute bonuses of traits are not doubled.

• Black belt (accessory), +1 WAR DIE per mission

SPADE: You work best when your luck's run out. Whenever you roll a failure, you may push your roll, rolling another 2D6 and adding it to the result. If you do, any result *higher* than 10 counts as a failure. Failure in such a way is often catastrophic.
