You don’t want to be down here, but you don’t have any choice. You’re a prisoner, an initiate to a cult or someone’s blackmailing you.
Core Ability
COLLATERAL: You have a knack for getting behind someone else when things kick off. Once per session, allocate stress to the nearest friendly target (PC or NPC) instead of marking it yourself.
Character creation questions
• Who, or what, are your masters? • What do your masters want? • How are your masters maintaining power over you? • How do your masters contact you? • Choose another player character. They have history with your masters too. What’s their relationship?
