Poor Self Control

Source book: Chrome Flesh

Bonus: 5 or 8 Karma

See p. 158, Run Faster for more information on this quality. New variants of this quality are as follows:

• Attention-Seeking (5 Karma): The spotlight is the character’s natural habitat, like a fish in water—and she suffers just as much when she’s not in it. The character goes out of her way to be vivacious and gain approval from others. Unless she succeeds at a Composure (3) Test, the character seeks to be the center of attention when- ever possible (this may or may not include combat situations, at the gamemaster’s discretion). • Sadistic (8 Karma): As a child, the character bullied others and tortured small animals. As an adult, she’s moved on to inflicting pain and suffering on those around her, physical and mental, whenever she has the chance. A Composure (3) Test is required to stop from inflicting some form of pain whenever the character has the reasonable chance to do so without incurring danger, even when it might interfere with her own safety, like when the team’s face is trying to talk their way out of a firefight.
