Clown You rarely take things seriously and frequently joke and wisecrack, even when inappropriate. Covetous (Thrill) -- Serious -- "Daredevil" Presented with enough temptation, you might succumb even if it's against your better judgment or usual morals. Resisting can require a willpower test, with penalties depending on the temptation. Showoff You desire the spotlight and playing up your accomplishments, covering up your mistakes.

Powers Essence channeling -- 3 Allows you to pull X essence from your pool per turn and recover it at a rate of X per minute. Invocations    Invocations have three steps: The Summoning, The Focus, and The Dismissal. These are the drawing forth of essence, shaping it into the desired effect, and then dismissing the essence. Usually, a successful Focus task (willpower+invocation) includes the a successful dismissal. However, a failed focus task will require a separate task to try to dismiss the essence without mishap. Additionally, magic takes the form of the emotions with which it is used. Using invocations chaotically or with malicious or evil intent can cause additional dismissal tasks to be required, possibly even with penalties. (Arma206 or Witch199)    Invocations known and their rote uses. Other uses of the same invocations can be created (both by the character and by the player). It's best to come up with them beforehand, but if it's exciting to the plot, the might be provisionally approved during play.

Jack of All Trades Can attempt any skill, even untrained ones, as though you have a 0 in it without most usual penalties for being untrained. No Rule of 10. (From "One of the Living") Pulling Strings (Accomplices [XTreme]) ConXp80 - willpower + bureaucracy (+ influence) to attempt to call in a(some) specialist(s) for a specific task. They may require payments. Bribes give bonuses; rushing their arrival penalties.

Rough Player +1 to any strength-based use of a sports skill. (custom; 1 pt; doesn't stack) Wheel Man -- 3 levels Add the value of this quality to any driving or piloting skills (even if it is a zero). This may be restricted, such as only applying to normal operation of the device but not for special maneuvers. Compare to "Hyperlingual" but for Driving/Piloting. [This is a custom quality. May be subject to future Nerf-batting.]
