Notice
Physique
Provoke
Rapport
Resources

Survival

Stunts: Stunts can either expand a skill's use or provide a bonus to a specific use of a skill. I'm allowing players to come up with their own stunts, but you must run them by me first and I will determine the exact bonuses and limits of the stunts. For example regular skill in Scholarship will be used to determine basic knowledge most learned folk would have, reading, writing, basic history, etc, but if you wish to use it in a specialized field such as medicine or lingustics you would have to take a stunt. Alternatively you could take a stunt under Hand to Hand for a specific style of martial arts and gain a bonus vs certain types of opponents, or in certain situations.

For clarity's sake, Caerus is functioning more as an NPC than as a PC. Most of everything he does action-wise has GM approval; the GM cannot (unfortunately) control his attitude or tongue.
As by request, here are his aspects:
High Concept: Master Nightblade Instructor
Trouble: High Functioning Dependence
Sophisticated as Hell
Jack of All Prodigies
No Empty Threats
Taunting the Gallows
A'rakhasa
Abuse the information/invokes at your own expense.
