Good with temptation and power. A real user.
And I can see the others out there, like me.
Kept me in my frock all during that long slow
slide into damnation. And now I wear that on
the outside. That doesn't mean you're safe
though, so just stay away, cause' lately I've
been replacing whiskey with blood.
With this description we get a good sense of
Scratch's strong suite in Intuition, as well as a mouthful
of his self-loathing, and self-pitty. We find out something
about his personality, and get a feeling for the kind of past
that could create such a creature. Try to use your
Attribute descriptions in this way, as a vehicle to begin
realizing your character as a complete entity, right from
the start.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Skills are a measure of the depth and facility of your
persona's knowledge in particular areas, or expertise at
various tasks. The Skills available to describe your char­
acter with will differ greatly from Setting to Setting. For
example, a character out of the Old West should probably
never possess the Skill of Warp Drive Technology, al­
though a starship Captain (to signify his ability to operate
such rare weapons) might posses the Skill of Ancient
Firearms. Some examples of other Skills might include
Sword Fighting, Investment Finance, and Political In­
trigue. We'll provide comprehensive Skill lists along with
the other background material included in our Setting
Books. If you're designing your own Setting, then you'll
have to write out your own Skill list for your Chronicle.
Such a list will also help you to define your Setting more
fully.
Abilities are paranormal feats which your character
may perform that wouldn't fit into an ordinary Skill list. We
may give suggestions as to what Abilities would be
appropriate in our genres, but it's up to the discretion of
the Director as to what will be allowed. Whether using our
background material or your own, as Director you have
final say over what Abilities can be taken, and how they'll
work within your Setting. There is no complete list of
Abilities, and any Actor who wishes their persona to have
them will have to describe those Abilities to the Director,
in such a manner that both of you are clear on the their
functioning. The following are a few examples of Abilities
from various Settings ...
¢ A character who can foretell the future using
Tarot cards, and sometimes get unexpected
glimpses of the future in her mind. The higher
the rating of the Ability, the more accurate
and specific these foretellings will be.
