## Profile You started your political career normally enough. You were a level-headed, pragmatic, and a dedicated servant of the American people. As a member of several key committees, you had access to classified information that shed light on dark inner workings tied to the United States government. You began to ask a lot of questions, and unfortunately they attracted attention from the wrong sorts of people. The more briefings you had, the more you learned the extent of corruption, hidden agendas, and manipulation involved in the government. You learned the names of various entities that had deep ties to the state. This included ostensibly public and reputable groups (Eschaton Limited, the Pyrebane Academy), along with some societies more...covert. Well, you embraced an opportunity to tackle the kind of corruption that you only dreamed of and even began to make some headway before being approached by an individual named [[Conventions/PAX Unplugged/PAX 2024/Danced With the Devil/Eschaton Ltd/S Preston|S Preston]]. They listed off, very calmly and politely, the names of your family, the names of your friends, your address, your route to work, all the little details that made up your life. And then they invited you to retire. Cut off from your government contacts, ignored on the streets by former colleagues, you began to seek out alternative sources of information. You explored conspiracy theories and connected dots that matched the information you could remember. With time, you learned that the webs you once traced did not lead back to anything so mundane as a company or a cult. The more you discovered about those shadowy groups, the more you were drawn into the world of the truly supernatural. Eventually, this brought you to the doors of the Twilight Cooperative. ## Ambition When you got here, you thought you'd focus on collecting information. Get the names, the faces, all of the plans and plots and financial details that would let you break this world down. Now, those goals seem fuzzy to you, half real, half imagined. It is obvious beyond belief that the thing you need to do is rob these people of their power - collect as much of it for yourself as you can. Drain their Karma away, so that they can never hurt or threaten you again. ## Claim You studied the levers and pulleys of power up close and personal - the manners in which someone scores points are intimately familiar to you, whether social, political, military...and now, metaphysical. You have studied, above all else, the manner in which supernatural creatures may leverage their power. **Anytime you accurately identify a player's Claim, you may claim a Karma from them.** The character may continue to deny your guess, however the player must confirm whether you are correct. ## Wyrd Being wrong is dangerous in this world. Go off of too many incorrect assumptions and you'll wind up dead. Or worse, you'll be absolutely *roasted* on daytime news. **Anytime you incorrectly identify a character's Claim, you must award them a Karma.**
