Chimerical Magnet: (5 point
Flaw) For some reason, chimera notice you more often than
usual. In some cases this is beneficial, hut more often than not
it causes problems. Chimerical beasts on a rampage will tend to
turn on you before attacking others. Nervosa find you irresistible,
and sprites of all types surround you constantly, often
making you the butt of their harmless but annoying pranks.
Past Life: (1-5 point Merit)
You can remember one or more of your previous incarnations.
This can be as simple as constant sense of deja vu in places
known in your past lives, or as complex as conscious, waking
memories of being another person. In practical terms, this
means that your character knows things about situations through
dead memories. You might know your way around a past life's
hometown, or might back away from a past life's murderer
without knowing why. This is a good Background for beginning
players; the Storyteller can tell them that something they are
about to do is stupid, dangerous or both. This Background
cannot be used to "remember" Abilities.
The Storyteller can, and likely should, take the opportunity
to flesh out one or more of your past selves with you.
However, unless your memories are very detailed, your character
isn't likely to know everything about that past.
• One point — Deja vu memories of one life
• Two points — Dreamy, vague memories of one life,
with deja vu from several lives
• Three points — Vague memories of several lives and
one or two well-remembered impressions from one life
• Four points — Several well-remembered impressions
from many lives
• Five points — A clear but broken thread of memories
back to the Mythic Age and beyond...
True Love: (l point Merit)
You have discovered, and possibly lost (at least temporarily)
a true love. Nonetheless, this love provides joy in an
otherwise arid existence that's usually devoid of such enlightened
emotions. Whenever you are suffering, in danger or
dejected, the thought of your true love is enough to give you the
strength to persevere. In game terms, this love allows you to
succeed automatically on any Willpower roll, but only when
you are actively striving to protect or come closer to your true
love. Also, the power of your love may be powerful enough to
protect you from other supernatural forces (Storyteller's discretion).
However, your true love may also be a hindrance and
require aid (or even rescue) from time to time. Be forewarned:
this is a most exacting Merit to play over the course of a
chronicle.
