You're in an organization that has a hierarchy - it could be a bureaucracy of some sort or it could be military. Whatever the case may be, you've got some power due to your rank. Chances are,...
You suffer from dreams. Horrible dreams. It could be because of visions or because of childhood trauma or post-war trauma or any number of other reasons. Once per day, roll a nightmare check in...
As chance may have it (or fate, destiny, whatever) your character is way more hardy than most when it comes to certain things. Typically, the number of levels equate to a bonus applied to any rolls...
Capital. It's what makes the world go round. Resources gives a very rough calculation on how much you make and how much you're in debt and about how much cash you can throw at a shoe store. Having...
You're that teenager who ran away from home after being caught doing drugs and faking all your high school reports. Yeah. You're not just your average crappy ass American teenager, you're one...
Oh, sure, teenagers have it bad just because but someone really messed you up. Abuse? Maybe. Neglect? Possibly. Being forced to watch the Sound of Music every day for five years? We feel for you....
These are the abilities an Animal Mimicker would absorb as a second tier user. It takes a full action to absorb an animal's abilities. At this level, you may only shift between four animal forms in...
You've got a skeleton in the closet. Something you're not going to yap about during your coffee break. A serious secret that even a few pints of beer will have trouble getting out of you at the...
This could bring a whole new kind of terrorist to the fore. A superpowered human bomb doesn't need to commit suicide. You can just blow up in some poor unwitting bastard's face. I guess this brings...
You can completely change forms to mimic other humans or humanoid beings - but cannot take their powers, nor adopt superhuman attributes like gigantic height or metal skins. You can change your...
You arrogant, conceited, attention-hogger. Willpower gets -2 against resisting hogging the spotlight. And you've got to roleplay it.

You're always on the look out for the shit that will probably hit the fan. Maybe it's paranoia - or just a practiced vigilance. Whatever the case may be, it's hard to catch you off guard. You get a...
Bigger, taller, smaller, shorter. If you want to become a giant or a hobbit, this is basically your thing. Naturally, getting taller and bigger makes you stronger and hardier while getting smaller...
The character has a dark secret. Exposure of this secret could cause harm to the character in the form of public humiliation, loss of a job, arrest, injury, or even death. The number of QP gained...
Masked uses a stripped down and simplified skill system, fitting with its cinematic Unisystem roots. Skills are rated from 1 to a theoretically unlimited maximum, though in play, the odds that...

Sofia Hernandez is not the nicest person you could meet. Sometimes. Catch her at the right time and you couldn't ask for a more interesting, likeable woman. But catch her at a bad time...
This isn't just ventriloquism. You can literally make just about any sound you want within 100 yards. Yeah, you get to mess with heads. Make them think they're hearing voices. Explosions. Rattling...
