Advantage - Empathy
The character is naturally empathetic. They have a deep understanding of people and are able to detect emotions and moods with little difficulty. In game terms, when the character attempts to determine the state of mind of an NPC or another PC, they receive one automatic success to their Instinct based skill check and can ignore any critical failure results.
Disadvantage - Convict
The character was recruited into Avalon while a prisoner, and is still considered a dangerous convict. To make sure they don’t try to escape, Tarasque division implanted a remote-controlled micro-explosive in the character’s brain. This allows Avalon to terminate them if ever they step out of line. In game terms, their main motivation must be the following: Win back their freedom. Until this motivation is fulfilled, the character cannot regain hope points by any means. The conditions required to fulfil the motivation are to be decided on with the GM. It could mean going on a number of successful missions, performing a selfless act or sacrifice, and so on.
