https://youtu.be/5jfU1HN2pSQ - APARTMENT AMBIENCE
The woman staring back at you from the reflection frightens you. Not because of what she looks like. Bright pink blouse, simple dress jeans, short and messy reddish-orange hair, simple flats. If you paid attention to only that, you would just be a normal and lovely person.
The rest deceives any attempt at normalcy. Your pink eyes dart around, focusing on random points of the room. Your clothes loosely hang off of your wiry frame, long since having gotten too thin and ragged to wear them properly. Tremors run through your body whenever stray thoughts threaten to enter your mind.
<span class="mu-s">You are Nicole Smith.</span>
You try your best to put on an award winning smile. It might've worked if it didn't look like you were snarling at someone. Well, you can work on it, you got a while to make first impressions after all. Grabbing your assessment sheet, you begin to review it. To see how other people view you.

BOONS:
[SEEKER OF THE CITY]
You have extensive knowledge of the City and its workings, the supernatural, and all sorts of knowledge they certainly don't want you to know about. When encountering an anomaly, you get hints on how to handle it through visions and internal dialogue.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES]
You're not sure how but suddenly, one day, you managed to find a way to bend and break the laws of the world. This revelation currently manifests as minor telekinetic powers. Over time, you'll may gain more abilities or develop finer control over your current abilities.
>Telekinesis (Free/1): You may move small items (anything you can hold in your hand), open and shut doors, and manipulate simple mechanisms from a distance if you have line of sight. If you spend 1 Restraint, you can send medium objects (like tables or shelves) flying. Attacks made this way will roll VIOLENCE and WILLPOWER together. BANES:
[UNSTABLE PSYCHE]
Your mind has cracks in it and it shows. As your Restraint gets lower, your perception of the world starts decaying, the more unstable your abilities will become, and you might just totally lose control over yourself. Try to keep your head on straight.
[PERSON OF INTEREST]
The Companies have their eyes on you. Corporate Agents stalk, hassle, and may even step in if they deem what you're doing too dangerous to their activities. Remember, They glow in the dark.
STARTING EQUIPMENT:
$500
Map of your hidden supply caches across the City
A bottle of Joyvel (3 doses remain, each dose restores 1 Restraint.)
After putting the assessment sheet down, you exit the bathroom and shut the door behind you with a simple thought. You have some downtime to burn before you must pick your first job. Your mind races at what to do. So much to do, so many options.
How do you prepare yourself? You may select up to three activities.
