Sex MovePlaying The FaeWhen you lie naked with another, youcan ask them for a promise. If theyrefuse, take 2 Strings on them.Alluring, exotic, fickle, vengeful. TheFae is all about extracting promises,and wielding faerie vengeance whenthose promises are broken.Darkest SelfEverything you say is a promise.Everything you hear is a promise. Ifa promise is broken, justice must bewrought in blood.

Their lowCold and Volatile stats make it hard toshut others down or keep them at bay.Instead, they excel at getting close topeople.Faery Contract gives mechanicalweight to broken promises. You gainStrings and new powers. Those newString-spending options are assumedto be magical in some way. You cancause them to “fuck up somethingsimple at a crucial moment” just bysitting on the bleachers and wishingthat they would. Your will seems tomanifest itself in the world.Write down any promises you receive.There’s no move that allows you toforce a promise out of someone, butclever roleplaying and mechanicalincentives can help you here.Beyond The Veil introduces the ideaof a Faery King. Choosing this moveprompts a number of questions: whatis faery society like? What forces doyou owe fealty to?Your Darkest Self has a very ambiguous“escape clause.” What is required tore-balance the scales of justice willbe entirely situational. You and theMC should both be in agreement thatthings have been set right, before youcan escape yourself.At the edges of this world, justbeyond the veil, there are coloursthat few mortals even dream of.Beauty enough to shatter anyheart. The Fae live and breathe atthe edges of this world. They keepa dusting of that magic tuckedbehind their ears, just in case.And the Fae are willing to share.They’re nothing if not generous,asking for only one thing inreturn. A promise. Keep it, andthe true beauty of the world willbe revealed. Break it, and feel thewrath of faery vengeance.The FaeNameLookAnders, Aurora, Crow, Gail, Harmony,Iris, Lilith, Ping, Selene, Sienna, Walthusdainty, girlish, gaunt, mysterious,disheveledA name taken from nature, a newage name, a soft-sounding name, amystical namequick eyes, lyrical eyes, mesmerizingeyes, laughing eyes, piercing eyesChoose a name:Circle one in each list:OriginCircle one:fae born, fae blooded, adopted,touched with the gift, stole the gift

If your Hunger is for Flesh,then a steak from the supermarketwon’t do. Or it’ll do, but you requirepounds and pounds of steak everyday. Whatever the specifics, Hungersshould be a big and difficult strugglefor your character to deal with.Death changed you. It took awayyour contemplative joy, it dulled yoursenses, and it left you impossiblyhungry.

Add 1 to Volatile (max 3). Add 1 to Dark (max 3).The central mechanical game that TheInfernal plays is choosing when to givethe dark power Strings (via Bargains).The Infernal is extremely powerfulwhen they’re borrowing power heavily,but eventually they crash and becomepowerless for a while.It’s important to remember that thecrashing part isn’t a punishment,but part of a story arc. There’s noneed to avoid the crash, nor to stopusing Bargains once the dark powerhas 4 Strings on you. Your characteris interesting and powerful becausethey are compliant with this storyarc of meteoric power and suddenwithdrawal.With Dark Recruiter, the specifics ofwhat it means to “bring someoneto the dark power” is left up tointerpretation and context.
