• A character has 4 Aspects:
o High Concept: This is the utmost statement about your character and who they are.
o Trouble: This could be a personal weakness, recurring enemy, important obligation, anything that makes your life complicated.
o + Two “free” Aspects: These can personalities, backgrounds, relationships, history, affiliation, quirks, status, interests, attitudes, etc.
May also be abilities or special nature(s).
• Aspects function as both Aspects from the FATE rules, as well as Distinctions from the CORTEX rules.

o Flair (flashy, daring, bold, hutzpah, guts, center of attention)
