Charm

Charm is how pleasant and persuasive you are. Charm is the social stat of our game. Charm is added to your dice pool’s result for the basic moves of Deceive Person, Defuse, Manipulate Someone, Read Person basic moves

-2 Asshole You are about as charming as the most offensive asshole out there. You’ve just stopped caring about other people, what they think, what they like, or what they care about. There’s only what you want, what you care about, and what you need. Trying to empathize with others is a waste of your time. There’s just something not right about you and people can sense it from you in waves.

-1 Robot You are like a little robot. You get the whole “feeling” and the whole “talking” thing, but by and large it’s usually a waste of time- either because you're surrounded by idiots who don’t understand you or simply because you lack the capacity to care about them. Frankly people are confusing and more trouble than they are worth. There’s something a bit sketchy about you and people aren’t sure what to do about it.

0 Average You are able to hold a conversation, and you are able to fade right into the background. You are generally a nice person and probably have several friends.

1 Friendly You are a general nice person, or at least you come off that way to most people. Small children probably trust you implicitly and ask for help from you before they go to others. Sometimes, not all the time, but sometimes, you walk away with free stuff because people genuinely seem to like you.

2 Silver Tongued You have the capacity to be a natural leader. You know how to persuade and manipulate and generally, with good or bad intentions, be able to get people to do what you want, when you want them to do it. You have significant personal magnetism and it’s not all that unusual for strangers to buy you things in an effort to get you to favor them with attention.

3 Bard You have a silver, glib tongue and your one manipulative person. You are either the best at manipulating or the most sincere, empathetic person ever that everyone just naturally wants to do what you say. There’s a quality about you that can charm birds from trees and wild animals to eat from your hands.

Cool

Cool is how calm and collected you are. Cool is the willpower and calm, collectiveness stat of our game. Cool is added to your dice pool’s result for the basic moves of Act Under Pressure, Help Out, Hiding/Sneak/Stealth, Interfere with Someone.

-2 Childlike You are like a child, you live in and out of the moment in the extremes with huge highs and huge lows and very little in between.

-1 Temperamental You have little to zero control over your emotions or your ability to pay attention, you're probably a little impatient. You are likely considered something of a hothead or a crybaby.

0 Average They're neither the best nor the worst at keeping their temper or their cool.

1 Level-Headed Your considered pretty level headed and cool under pressure.

2 Calm-Hearted You have a calm heart, and it takes a lot to really ruffle your feathers.

3 Iron-Hearted You are in control of your emotions so much that you only reveal what you want to reveal. Some might even think you are a little robotic in your interactions with them. That’s just the kind of sheer control you have over yourself.

Sharp
Sharp is how observant and wise you are in our game. Sharp is the mental stat of our game. Sharp is added to your dice pool’s result for the basic moves of Investigate a Mystery, Item Creation, Read a Bad Situation, and Search/Tracking.

-2 Caveman/woman You are not exactly known for your critical thinking skills. It’s probably best to leave the thinking to other people. Your IQ is considered pretty low or you’ve taken one too many hits to the noggin.

-1 Oblivious You are not the most quick to notice or to think. Perhaps it’s because you're a little to busy having an internal monologue to notice what's going on around you. Perhaps you're a daydreamer. No matter what distracts you from your surroundings (or thinking) it’s enough that your ability to process information is neglected.

0 Average You have an average IQ and while it takes time to figure out some things not in your normal areas, you can get there without too much trouble.

1 Bookworm You probably got high grades in school or you an exhibit an above average intelligence. Your rather initiative and notice a lot about what’s going on around you.

2 People-Watcher You not only like books, you like knowing what's going on around you. Guessing what’s going on around you and how people will react/think is both an interesting pass time and it is ever changing. If you didn’t get honors in school, it’s simply because you didn’t bother with the paperwork.

3 Genius No really you are. Albert Einstein and you could have had fascinating conversations.

Tough

Tough is how strong and mean your character is in a struggle. Tough is the physical stat of our game. Tough is added to your dice pool’s result for the basic moves of Dodge, Intimidate, Kick Some Ass, Defend, and Seize by Force.

-2 Delicate Butterfly You have a missing limb, a debilitating disease, you are constantly falling asleep or you are a very delicate butterfly.

-1 Out of Shape  You may or may not have been a couch potato, or perhaps you just hate fighting and much prefer to squeal like a small, high pitched terrified horror-movie person and run away..?

0 Average You can run when motivated by zombies for short periods of time. You aren’t going to fall over and die if someone punches in you in the arm. You are just nice and average.

1 Dabbler of Sports You have a sport or two you call your own, you are a bit athletic and coordinated.

2 Athlete You are a professional, or nearly professional athlete or someone who is just very much into the outdoors, hiking or in the military. You are pretty hearty and steady on your feet.

3 Heroic You are by some combination just one of the most healthiest, physical people around. Your stamina, dexterity and strength are just heroic in levels. Making you one of the best in the world.

Weird

Weird is our game’s version of magic, intuition and gut instinct or anything relating to the supernatural/ paranormal. Weird does not determine your MP pool or your magic proficiency. Weird is added to your dice pool’s result for the basic moves of Channel Energy, Invoke Past Lives and Use Magic.

-2 Disbeliever Your almost magically and innately magically dead. Oh, you still have access to magic but your ‘belief’ in that magic, that ‘trust’ that the magic will be there to help you just isn’t there. You don’t believe in it, so when your magic actually ‘does’ work, you probably won't’ believe it was yours anyway.

-1 Flukes Your magic is almost completely based on a mixture of luck and sheer desire. That is, when it happens it happens like a Fluke, with little control and a lot of chaos.

0 Average You believe in magic but your a bit skeptical. There’s parts of having magic that are cool, and parts that aren’t so cool. You're not sure if this is a good thing- or a bad thing.

1 Awakened You believe in magic, and you’ve studied up on it a bit. Perhaps you are a natural at figuring out how to use your magic. 

2 Myth Junky Fairytales and mythology are your bread and butter. You know more myths and fairy tales then you can cram into your head and on top of that, you are pretty sure you innately understand how to translate that magic into the real world.

3 Magical You are magical, you’ve probably been sensitive to the paranormal your whole life. Spirits and magical powers aren’t anything new for you. It’s something as normal as breathing or air.
