Possible player intrusions based on your character type:
Perfect Setup
You're fighting at least three foes and each one is standing in exactly the right spot for you to use a move you trained in long ago, allowing you to attack all three as a single action. Make a separate attack roll for each foe. You remain limited by the amount of Effort you can apply on one action.
Old Friend
A comrade in arms from your past shows up unexpectedly and provides aid in whatever you're doing. They are on a mission of their own and can't stay longer than it takes to help out, chat for a while after, and perhaps share a quick meal.
Weapon Break
Your foe's weapon has a weak spot. In the course of the combat, it quickly becomes damaged and moves two steps down the object damage track.
Dauntless
+2 to your Might Pool.
Granted from Virtuous
Possible GM intrusion from your focus:
It's easy to break delicate things or hurt someone accidentally.

", "description": "Background:
Warrior
You're a good ally to have in a fight. You know how to use weapons and defend yourself. Depending on the genre and setting in question, this might mean wielding a sword and shield in the gladiatorial arena, an AK-47 and a bandolier of grenades in a savage firefight, or a blaster rifle and powered armor when exploring an alien planet. Warriors are physical, action-oriented people. They're more likely to overcome a challenge using force than by other means, and they often take the most straightforward path toward their goals.
Virtuous
Doing the right thing is a way of life. You live by a code, and that code is something you attend to every day. Whenever you slip, you reproach yourself for your weakness and then get right back on track. Your code probably includes moderation, respect for others, cleanliness, and other characteristics that most people would agree are virtues, while you eschew their opposites: sloth, greed, gluttony, and so on.
Performs Feats Of Strength
A muscled prodigy, you can haul incredible weight, hurl your body through the air, and punch through doors.
Choose how you became involved in the adventure:
- The PCs are doing something virtuous, and you're all about that.
- The PCs are on the road to perdition, and you see it as your task to set them on the proper moral route.
- One of the other PCs invited you, hearing of your virtuous ways.
- You put virtue before sense and defended someone's honor in the face of an organization or power far greater than you. You joined the PCs because they offered aid and friendship when, out of fear of reprisals, no one else would.
Background Connection:
You were conscripted into military service, but you deserted before long.
Focus Connection:
Pick one other PC. Their occasional clumsiness and loud behavior irritate you.
