Brink/Torch

Name	Torch
Campaign	Brink
Player	Jason
Playbook	Faceless
Look	Man, scrounged armor, merciless eyes, muscular body. Mask: scrounged mask, cracked. It's recognizably the mask worn by the 'neers in the station core, but cracked and beaten up. As of session four, it's wired to Torch's broken jaw.

Weird	1
Moves	Oh yeah! roll+hard to smash your way through scenery to get to or away from something. 10+, the scenery moved or smashed and you get what you want. On a 7–9 you get what you want and smash or move the scenery, but take 1-harm (ap), and are disoriented and under fire in follow-up actions, leave something behind, or take something with you. Think smashing through walls or pushing through burned out husks of cars. Scent of blood: at the beginning of the session, roll+weird. On a 10+ hold 1+1. On a 7–9 hold 1. At any time, you or the MC can spend your hold to have you at the scene of a battle (a real battle, not intimate violence between a couple people). On a miss, the MC holds 1, and can spend it to have you there and pinned down. Norman: you seek the advice of your mask. Roll+weird to see what it directs you to do. On a 10+ mark experience and take a +1 if you do as your mask wishes. On a 7–9, take a +1 if you do what it wants and act under fire if you don’t. On a miss, it has its own agenda and act under fire if you don’t follow it. The Unexpected: when someone sees you unmasked for the first time, they take s-harm, in addition to anything else that happens. Beastly: you get +1hard (hard+3). Bloodcrazed: whenever you inflict harm, inflict +1harm. Rasputin: shot, stabbed, and poisoned, you just keep coming. When you are being scary as fuck and coming at someone, you get +1-armor. You still get shot and stabbed, bleeding just doesn’t bother you that much anymore. Juggernaut: take -2 on all “when you suffer harm” rolls. All basic moves advanced.
Gear	modified engineer's structural cutter (3-harm hand autofire messy) pair of SMGs with loads of ammo (2-harm close autofire loud) shotgun (3-harm close messy) - out of ammo Vac-safe engineering coveralls (2-armor). Oddments worth 0 barter
Hx	Cipher: -1 - He helped me do something terrible once. Absinthe: 2 - I think she's pretty. Swan: 1 Chronos: 2
XP	0

Add a vehicle:

Unmasked, you are (choose 2):

• Irresolute. When you inflict harm, inflict -1harm.
• Ashamed. You have hard=0 until you cover your face again.

Many years ago, in a misguided attempt to salve his conscience and keep the 'neers from cutting power to some hab compartments, Torch (with a little help from Cipher), destroyed the systems and codes that enable the 'neers to selectively control power distribution. Unfortunately those same controls managed the day-night cycle in the ag dome, causing a disaster called The Great Bake. Torch was ritually exiled from the 'neer clans at that point.

What Swan knows:

• Torch has a reputation for being a psycho who loves to hurt people, but it's not that simple. Torch's... issues... have left him uncomfortable with decisions. Being Swan's bodyguard requires him to constantly decide who's a threat, who's not a threat, and how to respond to all the potential threats that present themselves. When he finally gets to stop worrying about all that and get to the fighting, the relief from the pressure of making decisions leads him to overreaction and excess.

Lives near Swan in Ring 23, which is an unpowered wide ring.
