Sanctuary

Choose and underline 2 downsides of your sanctuary:

Difficult to access, draws dangerous attention, location known to many,

easily damaged or tampered with, tied intricately to your doom

When you call upon the deeper nature of your powers in your sanctuary, you can solve impossible problems. Say what you want to do. The GM will give you one to four conditions you must fulfill to complete your solution:

- First, you must _

- You'll need help from _

- You and your team will risk danger from _

- The best you can do is a lesser version, unreliable and limited

- You'll need to mark one box on your doom track

- You'll have to obtain ___

Doom

You're doomed. Your powers may be killing you, or you may represent some horrible fate waiting to spill out and break upon the earth. But one way or another, you're doomed.

What brings your doom closer? Choose two.

□ Overexerting yourself □ Injuring innocents □ Facing danger alone

□ Frightening loved ones □ Showing mercy □ Talking about it openly

Whenever you bring your doom closer, mark one box on your doom track.

When your doom track fills, clear it and take one of your doomsigns.

Nemesis

You have a nemesis, an epic and powerful enemy representing and embodying your doom. It's going to take everything you have to take them down in the time you have left.

Who is your nemesis?

---

At the end of every session, answer the question: Did you make progress on defeating your nemesis? If the answer is yes, mark potential. If the answer is no, mark your doom track.

Doomsigns

These are abilities that come to you with your approaching doom. Once you have taken all five doomsigns above the line, you must take “Your doom arrives” the next time your doom track fills.

Choose one doomsign you already hold at character creation.

□ Dark Visions: Mark your Doom Track to have a vision about the situation at hand. Ask the GM a question; they will answer it honestly.

□ Infinite Powers: Mark your Doom Track to use an ability from any playbook, one time.

□ Portal: Mark your Doom Track to appear in a scene with anyone you want.

□ Burning Bright: Mark your Doom Track to ignore one of the GM's stated requirements when

you call upon the deeper nature of your powers in your sanctuary.

□ Bolstered: Mark your Doom Track to use an Adult Move one time.

---

□ Your doom arrives; confront it and perish.

Moment of Truth

The only thing stopping you from unleashing the full extent of your power is your fear of your own doom, always looming over your shoulder. But right here? Right now? You don't care. You'll let it loose and do impossible things. Do anything. But mark a Doomsign after you're finished.

Team Moves

When you share a triumphant celebration with someone, give them Influence over you and spend 1 Team from the pool to clear one box on your Doom track.

When you share a vulnerability or weakness with someone, give them Influence over you and ask if they honestly think there's hope for you. If they say yes, mark potential or clear one box of your Doom track. If they say no, mark a condition or mark your Doom track.
