Introducing
A Member of
Mortality
The human race is full of
normal people who walk
around all day having no
idea of what goes on
around them, what truly
goes on in the shadows.
Those who are Aware,
awakened to the real
world, have the power to
stand up and fight for their
people, to spit in the eyes
of the dark beasts that
roam their world, and if
theyre very lucky, live to
see tomorrow.
Corruption
When you kill a person or when you ignore someones crimes against
humanity, mark corruption.
Intimacy Move
When you share a moment of intimacy - physical or emotional - with
another person, if you love them, you both erase a point of corruption, if
you dont love them, you both mark corruption.
End Move
When you die, each PC chooses whether your death redeems or destroys
a part of their humanity. For redemption; they erase a Corruption
Advance they have taken, if any. For destruction; they immediately take
a Corruption Advance.
