Playing the Wishmaker

You just wanted what was yours, but you never thought it would cause everyone
else all this pain; still, why can’t they just accept things the way they are now? The
Wishmaker can do virtually anything they want, but someone else always has to
foot the bill for them and, until it strikes close to home, they won’t hold back from
using their wishes to try and ‘fix’ things.

The Wishmaker calls upon one of the greater supernatural powers in order to
change the world to match their vision of how it ought to be; the consequences of
this can be great though, so they need to be ready to handle whatever shit comes
their way (Volatile 2, Dark 1.) Then again, if they feel everything has been settled and
all is right with the world at last, why not kick back and enjoy the new order? (Hot
2, Cold 1)

Playing the Wishmaker is all about trying to make the world a better place… for
themselves. They get the classic three wishes all told, but each one they make just
pushes everyone around them into a worse position. Luckily, each wish can only be
made once, so even if the other player characters start getting in on the action,
there’s a limit to how fucked up everything can get.

With everything else they’ve got going for them, of course the Wishmaker will end
up leading the Student Council, so their opinion carries a lot of weight on campus.
They might not have the influence or resources that other gangs do, but they are
always there: every day at school is another day under their eyes, within their
reach…

The Wishmaker
Bitter and resentful, you felt cheated by fate, denied what ought to have been yours.
Then you got the chance to set things right and you seized it with both hands. Things
didn’t quite work out how you expected though, but you know how to fix that.
