  NEW MUNDANE IDENTITY FEATURES
  READ PASSION OR OBSESSION
  What makes people tick is vital to understanding who
  they are. With this feature you’ve honed your sense of one
  part of the human landscape to the point you can pick up
  up on the subtle cues that everyone puts out about it.
  Pick a type of Passion (or the Obsession) and with a
  little observation and a successful roll you can get an idea
  of what someone’s got going on in that department. The
  better the result the more specific the GM should be. Fail
  or botch on the other hand and they’re a lacuna or you get
  the entirely wrong idea.
  Very useful  to set yourself up to take  advantage of
  someone’s foibles or avoid uncomfortable topics at the
  dinner table.
  TOTEM
  Everyone relies on beliefs for comfort. They form the 
  bedrock of our world and provide succor and a sense of 
  security in times of peril. For some people this takes the 
  form of a bond with an object like a memento, religious 
  icon or encouraging text message from a departed loved 
  one.
  By psychologically leaning on the object and what it
  represents you can steel yourself and negate the panic,
  paralysis or frenzy result of a failed stress check with a
  successful roll. The object must be at hand or relevant to
  the situation for more abstract totems. Totems do not
  remove Hardened or Failed notches or deal with the long-
  term problems that come with maxing out gauges. The
  talking cure isn’t so hot when your psychiatrist is a 1911.
  NEW SUPERNATURAL IDENTITIES
  ALTER PASSION
  Examples: MKUltra  Washout,  Devil’s  Tongue,  Svengali
  Wannabe.
  You’ve  developed  the  ability  to  realign  someone’s
  foundational  beliefs.  A  drastic  change  like  this is  only
  temporary  without  maintenance  and  will  likely  have
  lasting consequences.
  Select a passion (fear, rage of noble) and method of
  alteration to be effected by your identity. The method
  should  be  classed  as  long-exposure  or  short-exposure
  depending on the lengths you have to go to. Changing
  someone’s mind with a handshake and some measured
  words has less impact than tying someone to a chair and
  forcing them to listen to a looped recording while pumped
  full
   
  of
   
  LSD
   
  for
   
  hours
   
  on
   
  end.
  This  identity  provides  no  special  insight  into  people’s
  passions.
  Fumble  or  Matched  Failure: The  target  reacts  in  an
  extremely negative way and takes, at minimum, a rank-5
  Unnatural check (and likely some others depending on the
  circumstances).
  Failure: Nothing changes. Depending on the method the
  target probably thinks you’re weird, dangerous or crazy.
  Success: You alter the target’s passion in a major way.
  There  must  be  some  connection,  however  tenuous,
  between  the  original  and  the  implant.  Reversals  are
  common  and  actually  easier  than  picking  something
  unrelated. The change lasts for a number of minutes equal
  to the roll for short-exposure or hours equal to the tens
  place of the roll for long-exposure.
  Matched Success  or Crit: You completely rewrite the
  target’s passion. The change lasts for a number of hours
  equal to the tens place of the roll for short-exposure or
  days for long-exposure.
  The flip-flop/reroll for that passion is available if it has
  not  already  been  used  this  session.  Acting  against  an
  altered passion is a Self check with a rank equal to the
  tens place of your roll. Other Self checks are likely during
  and after the effect, depending on the circumstances. The
  erosion of Self likely to accompany ongoing exposure to
  this identity will manifest as a disorder related to the
  modifications.
  TERRORIZE
  Examples: 
  Night  Hag,  Kurdaitcha,  Hallucinogenic
  Pheromones.
  You have a supernatural capability to monster someone
  whether it’s through dream invasion, a jacked-up personal
  presence or psychically tickling the right/wrong parts of
  their brain. Pick a gauge and a method of transmission for
  your identity.
  Fumble: As Matched Failure plus the target knows who
  you are and what you tried to do – although they probably
  can’t prove it.
  Matched  Failure: The  target  resists your influence so
  handily that you cannot target them again until they fail a
  stress check on the relevant gauge.
  Failure: Nothing Happens. You cannot target that person
  again for a while.
  Success or Matched Success: The target suffers a stress
  check ranked equal to the tens place of the roll.
  Crit: The target suffers a stress check ranked equal to the
  tens place of this identity.
  Menacing someone repeatedly in a short period of time
  does not inflict additional stress checks, although it may
  increase the rank of the check at GM discretion.

  MUNDANE IDENTITIES
  AMNESIAC
  Pure retrograde amnesia. That’s what the doctors called it.
  Like something out of a movie they explained that while
  your previous memories had been, hopefully temporarily,
  lost that you would have no difficulty forming new ones.
  Less like out of a movie, your home life is a mess: you’re
  constantly  introduced  to  strangers  who  know  you
  intimately, you’re surrounded by reminders of things you
  cannot recall and you’re not sure how you feel about the
  person who says they’re your spouse.
  I’m an Amnesiac, of course I can surprise myself
  with hidden competencies, act like I know people, not
  remember a damn thing from before it happened.
  Substitutes for: Lie.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  Feature: Unique – Can shift 10% per session from this
  identity into others as (or if) memories resurface.
  ASTROTURFER
  Call it shilling, public relations or advertising – you use a
  swath of digital tools to create the false impression of
  grassroots  support  for  business,  politics,  ideologies,
  whoever pays the bills short of the outright criminal really.
  One week you could be pushing a climate change denial
  angle and the next discrediting fracking. Anyone who does
  this for very long either checks out of having opinions or
  develops a  thick  callous  around  them  for the  sake of
  sanity.
  I’m an Astroturfer, of course I can follow a script,
  espouse principles I don’t care about, regret going to
  college for this.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Knowledge.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Self.
  ATAVISTIC PREDATOR
  Dehumanized and savage. You’ve embraced the idea that
  you are both less and more than human, reveling in the
  bestial desires that are only natural. If people were honest
  with themselves they’d see the world free of the cage of
  civilization like you do.
  I’m an Atavistic Predator, of course I can lay in wait
  for hours, make people cross the street to avoid me,
  tell the wolves from the sheep.
  Substitutes for: Pursuit.
  Feature: Substitutes for Struggle.
  Feature: Substitutes for Secrecy.
  AUTODIDACT
  Everything you learned, everything important at least, you
  taught yourself. You’ve got a natural inquisitiveness and
  gumption when it comes to discovering new things and
  not a lot of patience for the stuffy confines of traditional
  learning.
  I’m  an  Autodidact,  of  course  I  can act  like  an
  authority on any given subject, spout malapropisms,
  fix problems with solutions from unrelated fields.
  Substitutes for: Knowledge.
  Feature: Substitutes for Notice.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Unnatural.
  BARFLY
  You like to drink, you like to be social and there’s nothing
  wrong with that. Some folks might call you a drunk but
  that’s only because they haven’t had the chance to really
  appreciate the charm and community that whiling away
  the hours in a bar has to offer.
  I’m a Barfly, of course I can open a tab, tell a bunch
  of stories “about that time”, get a twofer out of the
  jukebox.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  Feature: Unique – You have a place where everybody
  knows your name.
  BLACK SHEEP
  The tenured professor with the outlandish opinions, the
  artsy sibling of a buttoned-down family, the guy with a
  steady job in a circle of delinquent friends: like these you
  are an outsider within a group. Whether cast in this role by
  yourself  or  others  you’ve  learned  to  play  the  part  of
  dissident for the social cachet it grants you.
  I’m a Black Sheep, of course I can get away with
  behavior  that  would  get  other  people  ostracized,
  avoid group engagements, be the one people turn to
  in secret.
  Substitutes for: Status.
  Feature: Substitutes for Secrecy.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  BIG
  You’re  a big guy or gal. Towering and hefty, your size
  draws stares and comments wherever you go. Whether
  you revel in it or try to ignore it and get on with your day
  it sometimes comes in handy.
  I’m Big, of course I can reach things down off the
  high shelf, clear a path, bang my head on doorframes.
  Substitutes for: Struggle.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Violence.
  Feature: Provides Wound Threshold.
  3
  
  BOUNTY HUNTER
  Subject to state requirements you are licensed and
  bonded  to  act  as  a  recovery  agent  for  a  bail
  bondsman. When someone jumps bail it is your job
  to track them down and bring them in using guile
  or force to earn your commission.
  Depending on your tactics (and if not covered by
  another  identity)  consider  switching  in  more
  physical  features such as Struggle and  Provides
  Firearm  Attacks  or  mental/social  features  like
  Knowledge and Coerces a Gauge.
  I’m a Bounty Hunter, of course I can tail
  someone, sift through records, reach out to
  local law enforcement.
  Substitutes for: Pursuit.
  Feature: Substitutes for Notice.
  Feature: Substitutes for Lie.
  BUREAUCRAT
  You  are  the  glue  that  holds  modern  society
  together.  Without  the  functionaries  that  make
  large organizations possible we’d be stuck living in
  anarchy  or  tyranny.  While  often  ignored  or
  disparaged  by  those  who  take  the  rules  as  a
  personal  affront you  have  made  it  your  life  to
  master  a  chunk  of  this  ecosystem.  From  the
  lowliest  clerk  to  the  highest  administrator  you
  understand the power inherent in your role. How
  do you handle it?
  I’m  a  Bureaucrat,  of  course  I  can parse
  byzantine forms and legalese, know who gets
  things  done  in  an  organization,  deal  with
  indignant people.
  Substitutes for: Knowledge.
  Feature: Coerces Helplessness.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Helplessness.
  CANNIBAL
  Eating human flesh is a major taboo in just about
  every culture on earth. Wherever you developed
  your taste for it from you’ve learned to keep things
  tidy, behave normally in polite company and hold
  your predations to a minimum.
  The  average  adult  male  has  roughly  126,000
  calories of meat on him and given that you are
  able to supplement your diet with other foodstuffs
  you can go a long time between restocking. Still
  that leaky chest freezer in the garage might not be
  the best place to keep that guy who sassed you.
  I’m a Cannibal, of course I can dress and
  joint a carcass, dispose of evidence, explain
  away that shirt stain as ketchup.
  Substitutes for: Struggle.
  Feature: Substitutes for Lie.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Violence.
  CHARLATAN
  There’s no such thing as ghosts. The same goes for
  psychic  powers,  cryptids,  magic  and  whatever
  other nonsense people cook up to make sense of
  the world. That said it’s a solid market niche and
  the rubes are lining up to fill someone’s pockets.
  Might as well be you.
  Alternatively you really believe your own press or
  save the real stuff for when it matters. In this case
  consider switching Lie for Connect or even Status.
  Other  versions  might  include  taking  a  Unique
  feature for ‘out there’ technical skills, like creating
  and performing illusions.
  I’m a Charlatan, of course I can take credit
  for seemingly supernatural events, cold read
  people, identify a credulous mark.
  Substitutes for: Lie.
  Feature: Evaluates Unnatural.
  Feature: Coerces Unnatural.
  CHILDISH
  People  take  life  too  seriously.  Not  you.  You’ve
  discovered that the only things you need to be
  concerned with are what you learned in your first
  decade or two. Everything else is just the chains
  people wear to make themselves feel grown-up
  and important. How sad is that?
  I’m  Childish,  of  course  I  can avoid
  responsibility,  exude  infectious  excitement,
  inspire scorn, jealousy or pity in adults.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Self.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Helplessness.
  COLLECTOR
  You just have to have it. ‘It’ in this case can be just
  about any type of object: books, art, autographs,
  deodands,  antique  cans,  people  in  small  cages.
  Motivated  by  an  emotional  connection  to
  whatever it represents (security, a time and place
  or the satisfaction of pursuit and attainment) the
  important thing to you is assembling an extensive
  and well-maintained collection of your object of
  desire.
  I’m  a  Collector,  of  course  I  can tell  you
  everything you don’t want to know about my
  collection, maintain exhaustive  spreadsheets
  and dossiers, keep in touch with a host of like-
  minded obsessives.
  Substitutes for: Knowledge.
  Feature: Totem (item from collection).
  Feature: Unique  –  Has  a  collection  of  a
  specific type.

  If you are what you 
  eat, what are you when 
  you’re eaten?
  
  CONNECTED
  You  have  influence  based  upon  association  with  an
  establishment that translates into social status. Variants of
  this identity range from the criminal (Mobbed Up) to the
  moneyed (Heiress) to the political (Aide De Camp), but all
  are united by the fact that ultimately your power derives
  from others. You might resent this status and seek to
  establish yourself independently or revel in turning the
  mass of greater forces to your own ends.
  I’m  Connected,  of  course  I can get that parking
  ticket fixed, rub shoulders with a restricted social set,
  demand attention.
  Substitutes for: Status.
  Feature: Resists challenges to or Coerces a Gauge
  (pick one).
  Feature: Unique – Call in a favor.
  CONSPIRACY THEORIST
  It’s all connected and someone is doing it on purpose, if
  people  can’t  see  that  then  they’re  just  not  paying
  attention. You’ve managed to put it all together though,
  making the connections and  finding the evidence that
  they don’t want people to know.
  Despite this the public still labors under the assumption
  that  none  of  it is  going  on.  In a  world where mass-
  surveillance  and  heinous government malfeasance  have
  proven genuine this is mind boggling to you. You need to
  either find a way to shake them out of their complicit
  stupor or at least protect yourself.
  I’m a Conspiracy Theorist, of course I can make
  wild leaps of logic, blame a (possibly fictional) group
  for everything,  keep a stock of tin-foil and pretty
  concerning gear on hand.
  Substitutes for: Knowledge.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Helplessness.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  COWARD
  You’re terrified of pretty much everything but you’re not
  afraid to admit that much, being scared is just a survival
  mechanism that is unfairly regarded. Sure, rugged courage
  gets  things  done  but  fear  covers  every  case  where
  survivorship bias tries to plaster over the consequences of
  failure.
  There’s nothing wrong with the ability to back down
  from disaster rather than inviting it in. So why take the
  risk since you know there will always be other pies to take
  a slice from?
  I’m a Coward, of course I can cave under pressure,
  run like the devil is after me, maintain a constant low-
  grade paranoia.
  Substitutes for: Pursuit.
  Feature: Substitutes for Dodge.
  Feature: Provides Initiative.
  CRYPTOZOOLOGIST
  Ghost hunters, Bigfoot researchers and Thylacine seekers
  are all united by their search for entities widely regarded
  to not, or no longer, exist. Spurred by a sense of wonder in
  the  face  of  an  increasingly  measured  and  categorized
  world you are an expert on the subject of these and other
  cryptids.
  I’m  a  Cryptozoologist,  of  course  I  can cobble
  together an EMF reader, map the distribution of yeti
  sightings  over  a  geographical  area,  pull  out  my
  (heavily) annotated history of the Chupacabra.
  Substitutes for: Knowledge.
  Feature: Substitutes for Notice.
  Feature: Evaluates Unnatural.
  CULT LEADER
  People need meaning, it’s a cornerstone of the human
  psyche that everything requires an order and proper place.
  For a lot of people it’s their faith or political leaning or
  community  that  provides  this  bedrock.  For  the
  downtrodden and the vulnerable, it’s you.
  You take these people from their fallen state and fill
  them up with love and purpose. You give shape and order
  to the chaos of their world. All that you ask in return is
  complete and undying obedience.
  I’m  a  Cult  Leader,  of  course  I  can project  an
  authoritative  presence,  sway  the  hopeful  with  a
  mishmash of philosophy and spiritualism, delegate my
  dirty work.
  Substitutes for: Status.
  Feature: Reads Fear.
  Feature: Coerces Self.
  EMOTIONAL VOYEUR
  People are fascinating. Observing all their troubles and
  dramas allows you to experience the gamut of human
  interactions without the messy entanglements that come
  with being involved in them.
  You  like  to  position  yourself  as  disconnected  but
  available. Keeping people at arms length lets you retain
  your sense of being above it all. It also lets you walk out
  on any problems that become too rough to watch.
  I’m an Emotional Voyeur, of course I can tell you all
  about micro-expressions, ask probing questions under
  the guise of concern, know the juiciest gossip.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Evaluates Self.
  Feature: Reads Passion or Obsession (pick one).

  FORMER AVATAR
  You were on the path of an avatar and you fell. Hard. All
  the way down. It might have gotten too difficult to walk
  the  narrowing  confines  demanded  by  the  collective
  unconscious. It might have been a case of being pushed
  out by the competition. Maybe you just found something
  else that was more important to you.
  Even  without  being  plugged  directly  into  the
  statosphere you catch glimmers of the old power here and
  there and you also have the experience to play them off
  like more than they are if necessary. It’d be a long, hard
  climb if you wanted to get back in that saddle though. Too
  hard.
  Are you off the path for good?
  I’m a Former Avatar, of course I can make guesses
  about the collective unconscious that are better than
  a stab in the dark, hobnob in the Occult Underground
  like I’m not a has-been, make dire predictions.
  Substitutes for: Secrecy.
  Feature: Evaluates Unnatural.
  Feature: Use Gutter Magick.
  FREEGAN
  4.4 pounds of garbage is generated per person per day in
  the  USA.  You  are  a  lifestyle  dumpster  diver  taking
  advantage of this wealth of waste while thumbing your
  nose at the corporate-inspired consumerism that drives it
  on principle. Depending on your underlying motivations
  and  temperament  your  ethos  might  range  from
  community-minded hipster to anti-corporate recluse to
  something a little more Paper Street Soap Company.
  I’m  a  Freegan,  of  course  I  can mentally  map
  locations  where  goods  are  disposed  of,  evade
  security, live within a barter economy.
  Substitutes for: Notice.
  Feature: Substitutes for Pursuit.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  GOOD PERSON
  You’ve got a strongly internalized sense of the fact that
  you’re a thoroughly decent human being. Whatever the
  source (“WWJD?”?), your guiding principles give you the
  courage to act on your convictions and the people around
  you appreciate you for it.
  I’m a Good Person, of course I can get someone to
  vouch for me, rely on a strong moral compass, keep
  track of everyone’s needs.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Therapeutic.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Self.
  “GOOD PERSON”
  The flipside to Good Person is someone who believes they
  have those qualities, but doesn’t. Maybe you started out
  decent before the real-world came and ground you down
  so that only the patchwork self-image remained. Maybe
  you’ve always been kind of a shit.
  In  either  case  you’re  an  awful  human  being  hiding
  behind the certainty that you’re the good guy. Every villain
  is the hero of their own story.
  I’m a “Good Person”, of course I can rationalize my
  actions, guilt-trip my loved ones, lie about terrible
  things I’ve done without blinking.
  Substitutes for: Lie.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Self.
  Feature: Resists challenges to Isolation.
  GUN NUT
  It  could  be  that  you  understand  that  the  only  thing
  keeping society intact is the ability of the individual to
  shoulder the burden of self-protection that governments
  can’t and wont. Or you grew up with firearms and they’re
  as much a part of you as any other life-long hobby. Or
  maybe you just like the way that holding a gun makes you
  feel.
  Regardless of the reason, you love firearms and what
  they represent. That intricate piece of machinery capable
  of spitting little pieces of metal at high velocity is really
  something else and you get a great deal of satisfaction
  from using and learning about them.
  I’m  a  Gun  Nut,  of  course  I  can identify firearm
  models by sight, maintain constant vigilance, rattle
  off pro-gun statistics and politics.
  Substitutes for: Notice.
  Feature: Provides Firearm Attacks.
  Feature: Totem – Specific firearm.
  HACK WRITER
  See that guy sitting in the coffee shop with their laptop
  writing their first novel like a worn-out cliché? That’s not
  you. It might have been you a decade and a half and
  thirty-five pounds ago but you’ve descended beyond that.
  It might have once been about art or the need to tell a
  story  but  now  it’s  just  because  you  don’t  know  any
  different. For the most part you do piece work in the gig
  economy to keep afloat and harass publishers. Sure, you
  could get a job writing copy somewhere and make a living
  wage but that would mean swallowing what little pride
  you have left and admitting defeat. You haven’t come this
  far to do that.
  I’m a Hack Writer, of course I can crap out a shitty
  novel for pennies per word, drink and smoke a lot,
  wrestle with self-publishing and publishers.

  HARDCASE
  You’re  tough.  You’re  tougher  than  tough.  You’re  the
  toughest there is and you know it. You’ve built a big part
  of who you are around how tough you are and you make
  sure that everyone around you knows it too.
  I’m a Hardcase, of course I can pretend to walk off
  being stabbed, use improvised objects as weapons,
  open a beer bottle with my eye socket.
  Substitutes for: Struggle.
  Feature: Coerces Violence.
  Feature: Provides Wound Threshold.
  IMPOSTOR
  Perhaps you were mistaken for a long-lost family member?
  Maybe  you deliberately set  out to use someone  else’s
  identity to get that job? Or was it opportunistic when you
  found the guy who looked a whole lot like you dead in the
  parking lot? Whatever the circumstance you’ve taken on
  the identity of another person and are using it as a vehicle
  to live a whole new life.
  It’s time for you to sit back and enjoy all the perks that
  being  someone  new  has  to  offer  while  occasionally
  navigating the pitfalls that come with never really owning
  it. Would you ever go back to your old life? What would
  you do to defend the new one if someone found out?
  I’m an Impostor, of course I can live a lie, plaster
  over inconsistencies in my story,  leverage people’s
  motivations.

  LIMINAL SEEKER
  You saw or experienced something impossible and now it’s
  all you can think about. No ordinary Pony, your sudden
  galvanization  is  all-consuming  and  the  Occult
  Underground will either open the door to you or you will
  find a way to break in. As your former life withers around
  you will you complete this transition or pull back and
  salvage the vestiges of normalcy?
  I’m a Liminal  Seeker, of  course  I can ignore my
  friends and family, clear out the ‘witchcraft’ section of
  the  local  bookstore  and  library,  dip  into  my
  emergency fund for magick beans.
  Substitutes for: Notice.
  Feature: Evaluates Unnatural.
  Feature: Casts Rituals.
  NEGOTIATOR
  You’re an expert at getting people to cooperate. You can
  look at the needs and desires of two parties and if not find
  a way where both benefit then at least make them both
  think they got the better end of the deal. Backed up with
  the gift of the gab and a studied technique in human
  manipulation you might work in sales or public relations or
  maybe you’re someone a community turns to when they
  need a mediator (or someone who can skew one).
  I’m  a  Negotiator,  of  course  I  can get  where
  someone is coming from, identify compromise and
  advantage, exploit personal narratives.
  Substitutes for: Connect.
  Feature: Substitutes for Lie.
  Feature: Substitutes for Notice.
  OCCULT BURNOUT
  The  depressingly  common  failure  state  of  the  Liminal
  Seeker is someone the Occult Underground chews up,
  spits out and then charges rent. On the wrong side of one
  too many raw deals, destitute and usually homeless you
  can only dream of the normal life you once lived. Maybe
  there’s some ritual or artifact out there that can get it all
  back for you?
  I’m  an  Occult  Burnout,  of  course  I  can scream
  hysterically at things that aren’t there, trail a wake of
  unnatural  phenomena,  disappear  when  no  one  is
  looking.
  Substitutes for: Secrecy.
  Feature: Coerces Unnatural.
  Feature: Use Gutter Magick.
  OLD
  Your back might hurt, your knees might be creaky and
  your eyesight might not be so great anymore but you
  don’t get to be your age without figuring out how the
  world works. People will underestimate you just because
  you’ve been around the block a few times but when you
  pick your battles you can still surprise them.
  I’m Old, of course I can tell a heck of a lot of stories,
  know how to do things without using the internet,
  sell my medication for extra cash.

  ORGAN TRAFFICKER
  A bathtub full of ice, a poorly stitched incision and a note
  to the victim. That’s the urban myth. The truth is that
  demand  outstrips  supply,  waiting  lists  take  years  to
  traverse and human nature is infinitely corruptible. You
  navigate the sidelines of official commerce in the organ
  trade, taking advantage of both sides for personal gain.
  How you live with that is up to you.
  I’m an Organ Trafficker, of course I can eyeball an
  appropriate  dose  of  anesthetic,  make  use  of  red
  market contacts, muss official paperwork.

  POLITICIAN
  You are an elected representative, theoretically beholden
  to the will of your constituents. In practice those who
  prioritize electioneering and horse-trading over principle
  tend to survive however, so it’s little wonder that the
  stereotype of your profession  is  unflattering.  You may
  have gotten into politics to make a difference (or not), the
  real measure is whether you can (or want to) avoid losing
  sight of it.
  I’m  a  Politician,  of  course  I  can sort  out  an
  appointment, smear my opponents, indulge in a little

  PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
  Occasionally you’ll get an interesting case like a missing
  person but by and large petty human perfidy – insurance
  fraud and cheating spouses – is your bread and butter. If
  there’s  a dollar  in  exposing  wrongdoing  or  uncovering
  mysteries it’s your business. How far you go is down to
  what the client is willing to pay and your own scruples.
  I’m  a  Private  Investigator,  of  course  I  can look

  compromising pictures.

  PSYCHIATRIST
  A medical doctor focused on the treatment of mental
  illness, your specialty involves prescribing drugs to quiet
  the maladies of your patients. But that’s only half the job.
  Once you’ve started pharmaceutical triage the attempt to
  heal or manage the condition by getting to the root of the
  problem really begins.
  I’m  a  Psychiatrist,  of  course  I  can prescribe
  medication, talk people down, keep a secret.

  PSYCHIC SURGEON
  You have the ability to plunge your bare hands into a
  patient's body and physically remove their illness. With a
  little  tweaking  this  identity  could  fit  a  faith  healer
  (consider switching out Coerces Unnatural for Connect
  unless your practices are particularly Pentecostal). Often
  mundane con-aritists and hoaxers will use claims of this
  ability to take advantage of the desperate and needy (see
  also Charlatan), be careful you’re not taken for one.

  Altered  states  are  the  biggest  frontier  of  human
  exploration and you’re on the beachhead. You’ve run the
  gamut of consciousness-twisting experiences and feel like
  you’ve come away a greater  person  for it. Ego  death,
  depersonalization  and  psychedelia  are  all  just stepping
  stones on the path to personal transcendence.
  I’m a Psychonaut, of course I can discuss Buddhist

  Quitting is for suckers and like a Terminator on crack you

  SHADY LAWYER
  “The  law  is  an  ass.”  It’s  been  a  known  quantity  for
  centuries and yet we persist in the charade that the basis
  for our society is anything other than a handshake and
  some sweet words. You get it, the public gets it, those in
  charge  certainly  get  it  –  but  no  one  with  a  stake  is
  interested in actually saying so.
  That’s where you come in. You’re willing to jack the law
  up  like  a  car  making  expensive  noises  and  get  in
  underneath  it  while  everyone  else  worries about  their
  fingernails. You are willing to do whatever it takes to free
  your  client,  secure  those  damages  and  slip  that
  contractual  obligation.  Plus  so  long  as  you  don’t  get
  caught breaking the rules you get paid handsomely for it.

  wholesome take on the rule of law or Connect for Status

  You  come  off  as  untrustworthy  and,  frankly,  kind  of

  you  aren’t  stuck  pretending  to  work  a  normal  job
  inveigling and blackmailing people for the greater good.
  Or so your side can get a leg up on the opposition. Or
  money, money works too and after all the drudgery and

  SURVIVOR
  You went through something terrible. It damaged you in
  ways that you’ll never fully recover from. People talk about
  not letting the experience of their trauma define them but
  you  think  differently.  You  came  away  from  your
  experience with a set of tools you’ll use to keep yourself

  TABLOID JOURNALIST
  It used to be print publications of celebrity gossip and wild
  stories about  alien-Hitler  babies  that no  one  believed.
  Now the new frontier is all clickbait and fake news that
  merely strains credibility in a post-postmodern era.
  The underlying premise is still the same for you though
  – feed the public from the trough of the most salacious
  and  outrageous  stories  you  can  find,  for  profit.  The
  internet age has made it easier than ever to vote with eyes
  and ears and emotional impulse is king.
  I’m  a  Tabloid  Journalist,  of  course  I  can color

  SUPERNATURAL IDENTITIES
  ABULIC STORYTELLING
  You have a gift for a very particular form of writing. You
  can create happy, semi-biographical stories about a person
  which  they  will find incredibly  engrossing  if they  give
  reading something that creepy a shot. The details are
  always at least a little off (depending upon how well you
  know  them,  this  identity  doesn’t  provide  any  special
  insight into their lives) but it isn’t until they reach the end
  that the full extent of the differences that have crept up
  on them are apparent. Ripped away from a fantasy world
  of second chances and fulfilled regrets that they were
  never aware existed the reader is scarred by the phantom
  loss your story generates.
  This  identity  uses  the  Terrorize  feature.  The
  transmission method is a story specifically tailored to a
  single person which pings their Isolation meter.
  There are two additional qualities, the first is that the
  stories are addictive. It is a Self check equal to the rank of
  the highest story encountered, each week a reader goes
  without immersing themselves in something you wrote
  with this identity. The rank of this check drops by one per
  week but is refreshed upon re-exposure.
  The  second  quality  is  that  each  story  is  a  reusable
  source of Isolation checks but each time it is less potent –
  reduce the rank of the check by one, cumulatively. When
  it drops below the threshold of the reader’s hardened
  notches  in  Isolation  the  story is  spent and  no  longer
  effective for quenching the addiction.
  EX-AGENT OF RENUNCIATION
  You don’t remember much from before, it’s all a little hazy.
  Something to do with a woman on a throne dressed in
  green, a street in what might have been India, the notion
  of misspent power and then being shoved through a door
  before your first concrete recollection – dodging traffic on
  a busy highway.
  If there’s one thing that has stuck out to you about the
  world in the years since it’s how passionate people are
  about things. It’s the passion that’s the important aspect,
  not the issues themselves. Of this you’re certain and you
  can prove it. With a stern rhetorical push you can convince
  people  to  defy  their  deepest  principles  but  the  drive
  always remains. Sure they run straight to the other end of
  the spectrum when you do, but where else is all that
  passion to go once it’s untethered?
  This version of the identity is a short-exposure Alter
  Passion: Noble with the conditions that it can only invert
  the target’s Noble passion and you have to demonstrate
  to them why the current Noble passion is inadequate. It
  doesn’t need  to be  a categorical  refutation,  the same
  standard it would take to coerce somebody is sufficient.
  Other versions of this identity target the other passions
  with the same conditions.
  FLAGELLANT
  Mortification of the flesh, scarification and auto-sacrifice:
  many cultures attribute special credence to the idea that
  purposeful  harm  to  the  body  is  purifying  and  even
  empowering. You’ve been taught or developed your own
  practices  which  rest  upon  these  well-worn  universal
  furrows. Even something as hokey as a homemade Gom
  Jabbar can carry the right resonance for those sufficiently
  focused.
  After a period of ritualized self-harm roll this identity.
  Take the result as hand-to-hand damage and if successful
  gain a minor charge. This effect works a maximum of once
  per day, but that doesn’t stop practitioners from all but
  flaying  themselves  alive.  More  sedate  variants  of
  flagellants, such as those who practice inedia, generate
  charges more slowly (say, once a week). By default you
  can’t do anything other than use the charges to power a
  ritual, beef up some gutter magick or discharge them as
  undirected minor unnatural phenomena (which happens
  automatically  after  about  a  week  anyway).  For  adepts
  charging this way is a taboo violation, but it has been a
  gateway for more than one budding flesh mage.
  GNOMIC PROPHECY
  You’ve got some  kind of  line  on  the future, the only
  problem is that it comes out a bit garbled. This is Vague
  Information which you inflict upon another person in the
  form of  an  oblique  pronouncement: a cryptic  couplet,
  inscrutable aphorism or enigmatic koan. It’s a fun identity
  for players and GMs who want the chance to wax lyrical
  and sneak double-meanings into predictions.
  Unlike a conventional hunch roll the result does not
  have to be used for the next roll. Instead it is banked until
  circumstances arise in which the prophecy could apply, in
  which case they can choose to use it. This is a two-edged
  sword however, the GM can steal or trigger the hunch roll
  if they beat that character to the punch on realizing the
  prophecy.  It’s one  per  customer:  if  you  want  to  load
  someone up with a new prophecy you have to wait until
  the current one is discharged.

  MAGICKAL REFUGEE
  You are the product of magickal interference, either by
  creation or transformation, and now you depend on a
  steady diet of charges  to survive.  This  identity covers
  everything from displaced denizens of a previous universe
  or Otherspace to abandoned tulpas and excommunicated
  hivemind members. It provides two features instead of
  one, balanced by a substantial cost.
  The first acts as Provides Wound Threshold with the
  caveat that it caps Wound Threshold regardless of value. If
  this identity has a value of less than 50 then you’re more
  deflated or ephemeral than the average person.
  The second is Versatility under the umbrella of your
  origin  or modification:  poltergeist effects  for  someone
  frankensteined together out of a bunch of ghosts or the
  ability  to  notice  and  take  advantage  of  metaphysical
  inconsistencies  for  a  Neverwhen  Person  exploring  the
  Mandela effect. You can get away with using it more than
  once per day at a cost in minor charges equal to the
  previous number of daily uses.
  The upkeep for this identity is a daily tariff in minor
  charges.  Either  one  charge  or  the  highest  number  of
  charges used to activate Versatile in the past 24 hours,
  whichever is greater. If you can’t pay reality will take it out
  of  your  hide,  your  Magickal  Refugee  identity  will
  hemorrhage 5% daily for a number of days equal to any
  outstanding charges. Gaining enough juice to cover the
  shortfall  will  stop  the  bleeding  but  not  restore  lost
  percentiles. No prizes for guessing what happens if your
  identity hits 0%. Hope you’ve got a reliable source.
  NEO-ALCHEMIST
  There  is  an  entire  school  of  magick  built  around  the
  refinement of narcotic substances that elevate the user
  physically and spiritually into their purest platonic forms.
  That’s not you.
  You’re  part  of  a  group of  students and  students of
  students  of  a  failed  Narco-Alchemist  apprentice  who,
  depending on who you listen to, either killed, robbed or
  fled the killers of their former master dragging with them
  all  the  scrawled  notes  and  unnatural  recreational
  substances they could carry. They never put enough of it
  together to sail into glories of adepthood themselves but
  they  did  get  something  replicable  out  of  the  bargain.
  Something they could teach.
  This identity allows you to imbue gutter magick effects
  into consumable objects (food, drink, drugs, etc.). All the
  other criteria and features of using gutter magick apply –
  you have to build a ritual around the desired effect, gather
  appropriate components, etc., – but if the roll succeeds
  you’ve  got  yourself  a  handy  one-use  minor  magickal
  artifact at the end of it. It is worth noting that Neo-
  Alchemist  creations  are  unstable  and  only  keep  for  a
  limited time: three days with a success, three weeks with a
  matched success and three months with a crit. There’s
  always talk kicking around of someone who’s found a way
  to circumvent this limitation but it hasn’t amounted to
  anything yet.
  Narco-Alchemists tend to be leery of Neos and the
  mistrust is mutual. Even in the absence of hostility any
  temptation to cooperate and learn from one another is
  tainted by the suspicion that one side is ultimately going
  to try to strip the other for parts.
  NOBODY
  You’re  forgettable,  completely  and  utterly  forgettable.
  People don’t remember your name, what you look like or
  whether they’ve met you before. It’s not down to you
  being  a  complete  nebbish, you  just  slide  right  out  of
  people’s minds when they can’t see you. Carjack someone?
  Half an hour later the driver is struggling to explain to the
  cop that they can’t remember your hair color, height or
  age. A little later and you’re down to a vague blur in their
  mind. Did you trade away your ability to be recognized for
  something? Is this the result of a curse? Or are you so
  intensely reclusive that the universe does its best to ignore
  you?
  This identity has a unique effect that is always active.
  Whenever  someone  attempts  to  recall  details  of  a
  previous  interaction  with  you  it  takes  an  opposed
  Knowledge roll against this identity to grasp particulars.
  This compounds over time: previously remembered details
  require a roll to retain every time they are recalled, once
  forgotten  something  is  gone  for  good.  It’s  predictably
  difficult to maintain relationships.
  Nobody  does  not  effect  physical  records  such  as
  surveillance camera recordings or cell phone pictures or
  interfere with the ability to identify you in the present.
  Neither  does  it  work  on  anyone  with  a  supernatural
  identity including adepts and avatars, they’re sufficiently
  plugged in to the unnatural that you’re harder to scratch
  out of their minds.
  RELATIONSHIP CHAMELEON
  When you talk to people you unconsciously alter your
  diction  and  body  language to  play off their  reactions.
  Everyone kind of does this just to fit in, but not like you.
  When you do it people can’t help but associate you with
  their nearest and dearest. That newlywed waiting at the
  bar knows you aren’t his wife, but he’ll be damned if you
  don’t  make  his  heart  ache  just  like  her.  Is  this  a
  sympathetic  phreaking  of  their  connection?  Do  you
  subliminally signal yourself as some kind of ur-expression
  of social expectation? Or are you an emotive empty vessel
  just waiting to be filled up by interaction?
  Mechanically you can hijack existing relationships for
  your own benefit. This identity works as Influence with
  the following additions. When you create the identity pick
  one  of  the  five  relationships  (Favorite,  Guru,  Mentor,
  Responsibility or Protege), this is the persona you project
  to others. For the first roll the identity is capped at a
  target's  relationship  as  you  trigger  a  subconscious
  association with that person. If they don’t have one that
  fits you take its place at the default level until contact
  ends. Fail this initial roll and you don’t manage to breach
  the target’s social amnion, leaving them puzzled and your
  efforts frustrated.
  However after a successful roll you may use this identity
  to coerce that relationship with all the attendant costs
  levied against them (the relationship will drop by 5%, pass
  or  fail  excluding  a  matched  failure  or  fumble  which
  resolves as per Influence and renders this identity useless
  on that person thereafter). For unoccupied relationships
  your plundering damages the prospects and percentiles of
  future connections. Once bitten, twice shy.

  SIN-EATER
  You  have  the  ability  to  consume  the  wrongdoings  of
  others,  alleviating  their  emotional  burdens  while
  increasing your own. This involves some sort of symbolic
  trade  (the  ritual  consumption  of  proffered  food  is
  traditional but by no means universal) and willful intent to
  dispense themselves of the experience. It only works for
  experiences which the target was responsible for whether
  by action or inaction. You can only eat up the notches
  gained in a car wreck  if the person  caused the  crash
  somehow.
  The identity works as follows: make the exchange and
  roll,  if  the  successful  you  take  a  stress  check
  commensurate with the experience to be shouldered (or
  equal to the target’s hardened notches in the appropriate
  gauge if the GM is uncertain) as it worms its way into you.
  If doing so causes you to gain a hardened or failed notch
  then the target gets the immediate benefits of long-term
  therapy based on your roll. You also get some weird, new
  memories.  If  you  don’t  gain  a  notch  then  nada,  your
  capacity for soaking up hardship is as finite as its effect on
  you.
  TIME TRAVELLER
  You’re from the future or believe you are and now you’re
  stuck here. You might have been stranded after your time
  machine broke down or been flung on a one-way trip
  through time by a magickal accident. You might not even
  be in your original body, instead having commandeered
  the brain of someone from the present. You have some
  knowledge  of  the  past/present  but  like  all  heretofore
  hypothetical scenarios you were a lot less prepared for this
  eventuality than people usually tell themselves they are.
  This  is  Vague  Information  covering  things  your
  character might readily recall or infer about events based
  on their future knowledge. If you whiff the roll you either
  recalled incorrectly or have changed things enough that
  the timeline has begun to diverge (is that even a thing?).
  You  might even be  able  to  push  for  big  changes like
  amassing wealth and developing future tech  based on
  your know-how but those are considerable undertakings:
  use the objective rules.

  PROXY PIE                                         
  Minor Artifact – Neo-Alchemist
  A pastry of dubious quality, the Proxy Pie incorporates
  an elemental representation of one individual ready
  for consumption by another. When eaten it skips right
  by the requirement to bond two targets and proxies
  the consumer to the one baked in effigy. Multiple
  servings are possible from one pie (at an equal cost in
  minor charges when created), otherwise it only hits
  whoever eats the most. The effect lasts as long as the
  pie  is  within  their  digestive  system  (3-4  hours,
  notwithstanding syrup of ipecac or the runs).
  Owing to an upswing in popularity Proxy Pies are
  becoming successively harder to concoct, requiring
  increasingly baroque methodologies to create them
  (-10% shift to rolls to create a Proxy Pie unless the
  ingredients are especially weird or unique).
