Edge & Power Notes
Rile a Mob [1 Surge | 5 Minutes | 1 Scene]
By spending a Surge Point and getting the word passed through a community, the character can incite an unruly mob and then whip it up into a frenzy – ready to do all manner of stupid and regrettable things.
 
---

Danger Sense*   
Danger Sense gives a Feng-Shui Master advanced warning of any imminent danger to himself (like an ambush), although it doesn’t give him specific information about what the danger is or where it will originate. While in effect however, the Feng-Shui Master gets a +2 bonus to Initiative and Reaction Saves, and cannot be caught Flat-Footed except on a Botched Initiative roll. Danger Sense lasts as long as the Feng-Shui Master has his Lopan in hand.

*When a Discord Master uses a Luck Point to activate Danger Sense, it only lasts for the Scene.

Jinx   
Jinx can be used as a Limited Free Action, but requires a Luck Point to activate. When used, it causes another to automatically fail whatever Action they are trying to do at the time. Victims can spend a Luck Point of their own to shrug off the Jinx, but doing so only removes the automatic failure and not the possibility of failure normally associated with the task (in this case roll or reroll as normal). While using Jinx is a Free Action, it can still only be used once per Round, unless a Surge Point is spent to 'force the issue' on the target. When the issue is forced, it requires 2 Luck Points to counter, provided the victim has them to spare.

Killjoy
Killjoy allows the Discord Master to spend a Luck Point, as an Action, in order to Double the Cost of another’s use of Luck for one Scene. In other words, the target must spend 2 Luck Points to get the benefit of having spent 1.

Read Aura*   
Read Aura allows the Feng-Shui Master to spend a Round to study the Lopan in such a way as to reveal the nature and condition of anyone he concentrates on. Information gleaned from the Lopan includes whether the target has a good heart or is evilly inclined; what the target’s three highest skills are (but not their level); whether the target has Psychic, Feng-Shui, or other Powers; the target’s current health status, including internal injuries, diseases, common mental disorders (including Psychosis), drug use, poisons, radiation, implants, and memory loss; and when the target is lying.

*A Discord Master can spend a Luck Point to activate Read Aura as outlined above.

Flaw Notes
Compulsive Gambler
The character has a weakness for games of chance and may not be able to control himself when the opportunity to gamble arises. He must make a Willpower Save to resist gambling and can only attempt to stop (re-roll Willpower Save) when he wins, or his money runs out.

Distinctive Features (Mode of Dress)
Something about the character’s physical appearance stands out, making him easily identifiable (whether extensive tattoos, a disfigurement, unique mode of dress, etc). Opponents get a +4 on Perception (Spot) rolls, when used to spot the character among a crowd or recognize him in disguise.

Impulsive
Impulsive characters act before they think; opening doors to see what’s inside, pushing buttons to see what they do, running off alone to see what made the horrible scream…

Once per session, the character must make a Willpower Save to avoid doing something that will get him into trouble. The GM decides when the roll must occur, carefully choosing the most inopportune time (need someone to set off a trap?).

Background
"Now, whom did you say was the subject of your paper?"
"No, I don't remember- oh, you mean James!  Yes, that's right.  James Archer."
"Oh, he was a little scamp.  Do you know, for weeks he told everyone that he had a twin brother named Jason, and it was just a coincidence no one ever saw them together?"
-- Agnes Partridge, Nurse, Pennyroyal Foster Home

"He's not in prison?"
-- George Sanders, Vice-Principal, Clarkson Juvenile Reformatory

"In my professional opinion, Timothy Marcus has deep-seated near-psychotic self-image issues."
"It's amazing he was able to keep up the deception for so long.  In retrospect, we really should have been more skeptical of a seventeen-year old with a degree in psychotherapy."
-- Dr. Abel Jansek, Ex-Director, Oak Brook Rehabilitation Center

"Who?  Oh, the little weirdo.  No, he wasn't a musician.  I booked him as a magic act.  Called himself 'Alastair valentine.' I only hired him cause he said he'd take casino chips instead of real money."
-- Martin de Beers, Entertainment Director, Rainbow Gold Casino

"What?  I don't know who you bought that info from, but I can assure you, we did not hire a fengshui master to jinx our players!  Every slot machine in the building paying out the jackpot at once was a technical error for which we cannot be held fiscally responsible.  Next question."
-- Griff Hannaford, Security Chief, Silver Saint Casino

"Ugh.  I had to share a stage with him at the Crystal Palace.  Can't believe people think that noise is music."
-- Miranda Ravenholme, Lead Singer, The Darkening

"Isn't he the greatest?  I remember one time he said to me, "Lila, the secret to--" and I said "Lisa.  My name is Lisa."  I, forget what he said after that."
-- Lisa Lila Dunham, Groupie

---

"NO."
"I don't  care if 'his lyrics illuminate the maelstrom hidden in the heart of the ordinary.'  The assignment was to research a contemporary philosopher, not your favorite rock musician.  Simon Mayhem is not an appropriate topic."
-- Mrs. Beatrice, 9th Grade Social Studies Teacher

Simon's thoughts on the crew:

Y'know, 'the Dandy Desperadoes' would be a great name for a band. . .

Cap'n Inigo Montoya:
As if that's his real name! Come on, have you ever heard a more obvious pseudonym?
The man does know how to set a stage though. 

Crystal:
Who? Oh, tank girl. Yeah. 
Don't think she's ever talked to me. Always whispering to that dog, though. Creepy.

Ethel:
Who? Is that the one with the- no?  Oh, that one, yeah. 
Heh. Science chicks. They never wanna believe magic is real. Not till their forbidden research goes horribly wrong, and they're running around with their hair on fire, screaming at you to save them with your magic, and you're all like 'whatd'ya think I am, a psychic?' Hahaha. . . Good times. . . What are we talking about?

Butch:
Which one is. . ?   The old guy, with all the freaky metal bits?
I guess he's okay, for a boring old guy.  Cute kid, though.  I didn't think robots had kids. I always thought they didn't have the you know. . . (pelvic thrusting motion)

Jacob:
Come on, I'd remember if there was a trained sniper on board!

Ezekiel:
Now you're just making people up!

Gilbert:
He's. . . pretty Farking awesome, isn't he?
If you ever repeat that, I'll sue you for libel! Hahaha.  I'm not kidding.

Natalia:
Never heard of her! No idea who you're talking about!
