Dark Aura Cost 16
Trait: Usually determined by a brooding nature.
Effect: During a turn, the Dark Aura can be used either as a
weapon or as a defense. It takes 5 REA to have the character’s
shadowy aura spring from his body into his hand to be projected
as an attack. Once it is ‘mobilized’ (for 5 REA) it remains in
weapon form.
It does 22 IMP damage and cost 5 REA to lash out with (a ranged
attack). In that form it can block like a Large Shield.
As a defense it acts as either a 28pt Power Field or a 16pt Force
Field if the character doesn’t have any other armor. The Power
Field is reduced for each point of damage done (and if the attack
is Penetrating and is double or more the remaining field it offers
no PEN resistance. If the base damage of a PEN attack is less
than double the remaining Power Field it automatically doesn’t
penetrate).
As a Force Field, the rules are the same but the field is reduced
by 1/10 the total damage done if the total damage is from half
the remaining field strength to exactly equal the field strength.
It’s reduced by 1/5 the total damage done if any damage gets
through.
The Dark Aura may be reinforced up to its maximum, adding
4pts for every 5 REA Medium action taken to reinforce it. If it
goes down entirely it takes 10 minutes to regenerate.
A Dark Aura gives +3 to Stealth attempts.
Dark Beauty Cost 4
Trait: You are vain. This can also come from jealousy,
arrogance, or envy.
Effect: Beauty is perfection. Dark Beauty always has some
intimidating-looking flaw. Perhaps red eyes? Perhaps a shock
of white in otherwise black hair? Possibly a strange birthmark
across the face. Maybe you are unhealthily pale and thin in a
waifish way?
The character is Level 3 Appearance (and boy will they dislike
anyone with actual beauty!) They get additional STR based on
size.

Dark Heart Cost 8 or 10
Trait: “If you knew me, you couldn’t love me.” There is
something inside you that you keep secret from others. Maybe
it’s a dark secret—maybe it’s nothing—but you’re afraid that
if it was out … no one would like you. This belief, in its way,
keeps you safe since you don’t get “too close” to people.
182
Effect: There are veins of blackness that run through you and
your skin (this may appear artistic, as though the character has
marbleized skin—or may simply appear repulsive—as though
the character has a blood disease).
The character regenerates at a rate based on the chart at the end
of each turn. A blood transfusion will heal others (a syringe will
do—it doesn’t have to be a “medical procedure”) although giving
someone your black blood will tell them your secrets (both your
“hidden nature” and whatever secret you may presently be
keeping. Other people can recover half of their maximum DP
that way. This usually takes 1pt per 10 seconds.
If the character has a truly damaging secret, the cost is 8pts.
Otherwise, the cost is 10.

Darts Cost 2
Trait: You are disrespectful in general. Usually this has
something to do with anger or authority issues and a lack of self
control.
Effect: You grow metallic or bone knives/darts from your hands
or wrists (or possibly elsewhere) and can throw or shoot them!
They strike for Listed damage and ignore up to 6pts of Armor. If
the Armor is reduced to zero, the PEN defense of the character
is halved. You can usually generate 2 per turn. They can also be
used as +3 damage knives in close combat.
For 10 REA the character can throw three darts in a “spray.”

Double Faced Cost 1
Trait: You tend to betray people socially (talk about them behind
their backs, make and break social alliances, etc.)
Effect: You are hard to sneak up on—however, your second face
may often provide commentary you’d rather it keep quiet. The
second face gives +4 to Perception rolls (it may be off to the side
or directly behind the character’s head). This sort of counts as
the “Can’t Lie” defect (sometimes) or perhaps Obnoxious (the
other face says cutting things about people you are talking to).
Dwindle Cost 10
Trait: You’ve got a quiet mousy personality—you are afraid to
speak up or stand up for yourself or others.
