The Forgotten Skins

A collection of skins for monsterhearts 2nd edition

Rebalances & Designs by Nicholas Francia

Foreword
“The Forgotten Skins” are a collection of Topher Gerkey’s original Skin for the Skinless supplement written for Monsterhearts 1st
Edition and a few fan favorites that did not recieve updates to 2nd edition. I am not nor do I claim to be the original designer of
these skins. Every skin has gone through some form of conversion or rebalance, through several hours and sessions of playtesting.
“The Forgotten Skins” is a love letter to these skins, and with a hope that these skins will help add variety to your next session.
Special thanks to Avery Alder and Jackson Tegu who inspired me to reupdate these skins and Topher Gerkey for creating the
original Skin for the Skinless for which inspired this project. Some skins have been simply rebalanced and look identitical to their
original skins, some skins have new moves, and some skins have their base mechanics completely rewritten. Please enjoy and
remember that this is a free supplement. Please redistribute to your friends and players alike, but I ask that you do so while
paying credit to myself and the original creators. I hope you enjoy “The Forgotten Skins”!

While never required, if you would like to support me you can do so at https://ko-fi.com/noblemannick. I greatly appreciate any
support you give. Thank you all.
Playing the Beast
Repressed and afraid of intimacy. The Beast is the one who bottles up their
passions and whose emotions are so locked away that when they do finally
let them out, they explode with a horrible, uncontrollable intensity. The
Beast’s passion transforms them into a beast with killer instincts. However
the Beast keeps a connection to others even in this twisted and malicious
state. They’ll go out of their way to hunt and attack that teacher who hu-
miliated them, the boy who they had a crush on, or that person who got in
their way. When they finally do return to normal, the Beast may be
horrified but they may also secretly have enjoyed giving into their more
base instinct.

Your two stat choices when using the Beast bring forth two distinct ways
to hunt. One whose feral nature desperatley seeks to make a normal life
and risks letting the Beast loose (Hot 2, Cold 1), or someone who is myste-
rious and reserved and believes that shutting everyone out is the only way
to keep the Beast on lockdown (Cold 2, Hot 1). The Beast can be an outcast,
afraid of their own strength, or a social butterfly whose a ticking time
bomb. When the Beast finally gets loose, there will be hell to pay.

Your Moves will not only shape the triggers and decide how easy it will be
for you to go Feral, but also the abilities you gain while Feral. Taking Tooth
& Claw turns you into a literal monster and makes you to more akin to
hunt those who have done you wrong. While taking Cat’s Eye increases your
ability to give you an edge over people mentally. If you take the advance-
ment that gives you a gang, you will discover a group of other Beasts who
also suffer from your condition.

The Beast
They were called frigid. A prude. An ice queen. Their friends always thought they
were just too uptight, and that they’d be fine if they just loosen up a little. Have
some fun. But they know the truth. When they let go - when they lose control,
even for a moment - they can feel themselves starting to change. The terrible
animal in them is always roaring at the ones they love, always trying to claw its
way out. And when it gets out, people get hurt. And the worst part? Sometimes
they kind of like it.
The Beast knows it’s nature, it’s being, that it’s dangerous, that it needs to kept
away forever. But maybe, just maybe it’s time to let it out.

Your Backstory
Two of the others have asked you
out in the past, but you turned
them down. Take a string on each
of them.
You try not to have strong feelings
about anyone. No one else can
start with more than one string on
you.
Darkest Self
You are an animal. No trace of
your human body or mind remains,
only your most primal emotions -
lust, fear, anger, jealousy, hatred.
You are drawn to anyone you have
such intense feelings for, but your
only means of interacting with
them is to savagely attack them. If
you can’t find someone you know,
any target will do. You cannot
escape your Darkest Self until
you’ve hurt someone you care
about.

o Cat’s Eye
While Feral, you may spend a string

their scent and track them to their
current location.
Playing the Believer
Certain, dedicated, paranoid, out of touch, and a bit unhinged. The Believer
is all about following hunches, taking risks, and somethings being
completely wrong. They pursue the special things in the world in the hopes
that they’ll rub off on them and make them special as well. Their Obsession
drives them in all aspects of their life. The plot implication of their
Obsession aren’t limited only to them. They are not special because of their
Obsession, they’re reaching for something that’s more interesting than the
rest of their life.

The two stat choices of the Believers are similiar but interchanging Hot and
Cold. Your connection to the supernatural is ever present, do you look at
society with ever hopeful eyes hoping to gain potential allies and
acceptance of your theories (Dark 2 & Hot 1)? Perhaps however you scorn
society for how they denied you and called you crazy throughout your
pursuit of knowledge (Dark 2 & Cold 1)? Whether your intention to protect
society or just for your own personal gain is up to you, and your
motivations behind your Obsession should drive your character as it is as
important as your Obsession itself.

Taking moves such as You Gotta Believe Me, and I Know In My Heart will
allow you to stand strong and fight back against most of the people who
would deny your research as truth. Not only does this allow you refute
their claims, it may aid as an important tool in recruiting them to your side.
Trust No One and Precaution serve as means to support breaking the rules
and going deep in the danger when it comes to pursuing your Obsession.

Your Darkest Self represents the dark ends that you’ll go to in order to
prove or find what your looking for. You no longer care about the collateral
or how many friends you need to bury before you get what you want. You
built a house of cards that is bound to come down and when it does, it
comes down hard.
The Believer
It all makes sense now. The hidden messages, the secret symbol, all the details
just outside a normal person’s perception that lie just beneath the surface. It
means something, it all has to mean something. You know you’re not crazy, and
once you get the proof you need everyone else will know it too. This is the first
small step in unraveling the whole fucked up mystery.

But remember... knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Your Backstory
You have some good evidence that

Take a String on them.
There is one person that you trust
absolutely, even if they don’t

Obsession with them. Take a String

Darkest Self
None of them will listen to you.
Don’t they understand how import-
ant this is to the world? Pursue
your Obsession at all costs, dragging
as many people along as you can. If
you can’t force them, then they’re
just another obstacle on your path
to enlightenment of yourself, and
of others. You escape your Darkest
Self when you come to understand
how much you have hurt others by
your obsessive behavior.

Playing the Calaca
Disarming, cute, freakish, and yet so cheerful. The Calaca is the happiest
person dressed in funeral blacks you’ve ever seen, a wise confidant who
gives the most profound advice writing odes to death and decay while
using a brightly colored pen. Your Haunting Visage might be horrificially
terrifying but that doesn’t change your devious sunny disposition. Solve the
problems brought forth to you and make sure, whoever they are, remem-
bers your name.

Your two stat choices both have Dark 2 because of your connection to
death itself, and how integral it is to you. But your secondary stat will
shape your actions, are you the party spirit who tells people to accept death
as a new beginning rather than the end (Dark 2 & Hot 1) or do you show
people how cruel and forebearing death really is, a literal spirit of death,
wings and all. (Dark 2 & Cold 1) The Calaca doesn’t capitlize on
oppurtunities, rather it creates them.

Moves such as Sugar Skull and Morte Alata make your Haunting Visage ever
stronger, allowing you supplment most of your moves for your strongest
stat. Pick those moves if you intend to be in your true form alot and want
to get your mileage out of it. Moves like Day of the Dead and Santa Muerte
are wild card that can change your entire pace pace around. Helping people
you care about especially by giving them guidance should be one of your
main priorities. Your story is the story that made other people’s stories
better. Your meddling creates drama but they best believe they’ll remember
you at the end of it all.

Your Darkest Self is dangerous and dark to the say the least, your wisdom
is even more profound and yet cruel. Convince your friends that death is
not the end, it’s the beginning and a beginning they shouldn’t wait to get
started.

The Calaca
Death is not the end, in fact it is only the beginning. This is what the Calca
believes. Instead of regretting their death like that of the Ghost, or just barely
hanging in as a corpse like the Ghoul, the Calaca is the embodiment of living
it as one of the dead. They want to teach others what death has taught them,
impart the lessons they’ve had over the years. They ocassionally begin to miss
the pleasantries that they had when they were alive, but who cares being dead is
awesome.
However sometimes they don’t want to accept your knowledge or your gift of
death and you can understand. If you could see how great being dead was why
can’t they? Maybe they need a little push, from your friendly walking, talking
skeleton.

Playing the Creature
Protective, territorial, vengeful, and hopeful. The Creature is embodiment of
mother nature rising up to protect itself from industrial expansion.
Whether it be preventing a company from dumping toxic waste into a body
of water, turning a forest preserve into a landfill, using animals in
experiments, or hunting endangered species, the Creature will be there to
stop them. A sort of nature vigilante, the Creature has a cause that they will
pursue considering it their highest priority.

Your two stat choices both have Volatile 2 because your naturally pissed off
that someone is threatening your cause. Whether or not you still believe
that humans can be turned around with some prodding (Volatile 2 and Hot
1) or perhaps that they are beyond reason (Volatile 2 & Cold 1), you put your
environment and your cause first before anything else.

Moves such as Cold-Blooded Fury and Apex Predator allow you to become
more monster than protector. Allowing you to take harm they attempt to
dish out and inflict it right back, but be careful once you draw blood you
might find it hard to avoid all out war against your opposition. Songbird
allows you to make rousing speeches and pursue non-violence, with Frog
Kiss being important when your taking that special someone on a magic
carpet ride of your environment.

Your Darkest Self is when you decide that you can’t stop the inevitable and
perhaps it’s better to turtle up and make best of the time you have. The
bulldozers will be here before dawn, so enjoy the last night you have in
your home. Sometimes you find that you cause is properly protected, and in
that case just take up a new cause to champion towards.
The Creature
All that time and energy on a petition - all the convincing, all the seducing, all
the threatening - and what do they get when they present city hall with a
thousand signatures? They throw it in the trash, and continue to destroy their
home anyway. The Creature wanted to do things peacefully perhaps, they
wanted to believe in the good of man to protect something precious to them.

But it didn’t work out that way, and now it’s time for plan b. If they won’t read
the signatures, listen to the protests, or speak at the debates then it’s time they
felt the horror of a pissed off monster. Maybe when the town has been
terrorized they’ll finally get it through their thick heads.

Playing the Faithful
Judgemental, hypocritical, supportive and commited. The Faithful is
someone who puts their trust in their belief even when they fall short of
their own expectations. The Faithful may lead to questioning the existence
of higher powers, but they also can bring some interesting conflicts with
the supernatural characters forward; especially those with an aversion to
religous symbols.

Your two stat choices both do not mire themselves with Dark, as doing so
would only lead to temptation further down the road. Whether you choose
to preach your word and use your natural charisma to keep to your faith
(Hot 2 & Volatile 1), with a dash of zealotry in the mix or are hypercritical
of these sinners around you (Cold 2 & Hot 1), the road of the Faithful is
about weathering doubt, navigating temptation, and sticking to your faith.

Breath of Life is your most powerful move at your disposal but with having
to tap into Dark, it’s risky and has the potential to harm not only yourself
but the others around you greatly. This move, along with Stigmata and
Unshakeable grant you the ability to defend yourself those who would
tempt you as long as you have a String before hand to spare. If you don’t,
you’ll find yourself drained and having to clear the condition before using
them again. Sanctuary can help with this and any other nasty conditions
and harm you might take throughout your story.

The Faithful is one who can stop and deter violence in their tracks and
avoid those who would attempt to brush aside them. Meant to handle any-
thing thrown at them, however eventually things will break and when they
do it’s going to be biblical. Once you enter your Darkest Self, it’s goodbye
prayer groups and hello smiting the wicked or whoever manages to piss
you off. Sure, it might seem unorthodox, but you know you’ll be forgiven in
the end.
The Faithful
Lost among a sea of ignorance and what they call sin, the Faithful is the lone
paragon amonster the rest. They know the others have no idea what faith is, or
have the humility to commit themselves to anything beyond their petty wants.
But for the Faithful that is ok, it is there job to show them. They’ll preach to
whoever’ll listen and save their souls whether they want it or not.

But your commitments wouldn’t be meaningful without temptation lurking.

dead and choose one:

Afterwards, give yourself the

Playing the Fury
Desperate, longing to be accepted and the rage, and constantly pushed
around. The Fury is one that knows rejection and pain well. The Fury
balances their life as depicted in Futile Hope. An engine that drives their life,
ability and most importantly their scorn. The Fury operates around putting
themselves out there, willingly trusting and believing in people even though
they know they shouldn’t, and when they are betrayed they are ready to
massively overreact to the provider of that betrayl.

The two stat choices for the Fury describe two very different but equally
powerful beings. The Fury who when pushed to the edge who physically
lashes out with everything forcing others to feel the very real pain the Fury
suffers (Volatile 2, Dark 1) or the Fury that when pushed to the brink
becomes emotionally numb to everything around them and takes
advantage of the emotional vunerabilities of their fellow teens (Cold 2, Dark
1). The Fury is usually but not always an outcast, but perhaps they are a
well respected member of their community but misunderstood. Whatever
the Fury’s deal is, you can bet it’s going to be a story that doesn’t end well
for them.

Your fellow players will have an incentive to be nice to you and then dump
you, taking advantage of gaining strings against you while forcing you to
lose the strings against them. But their temporary gain is ultimatley the
Fury’s greatest weapon. Being Betrayed is to your advantage since it powers
up all your Fury moves and provides lots of grist for the drama mill. Think
carefully when choosing your moves about what kind of walking
megapsychic catastrophe you’d like to be. Firestarter doesn’t need to imply
pyrokinesis; it’s just a name and can represent any ability that causes chaos
and destruction. Some of the moves are more themed around telepathy or
clairvoyance than the others, which allow you to enact your Fury in much
more devious ways.
When you are your Darkest Self, be sure to go all out with your
descriptions. Your moves can affect crowds and radically alter the
environment when you’re in a full-on rage, so cut loose and enjoy your
revenge.

The Fury
They never wanted this. They never wanted to be different or special or a freak.
They wanted to fell like every other kid and just fit in. To be liked. To be accept-
ed. Maybe even to be loved. They never felt like it was so much to ask for? The
Fury is not a bad person, not inheritantly. However the Fury is drawn to their
abilities by their circumstances. They were hurt, they were betrayed. They were a
bottle of emotional trauma that has been shaken up one too many times. Guess
what? Now that bottle is ready to pop.
We always expect those that are pushed around to finally push back. But never
like this. The Fury is unbridled anger and power, a teenager scorn. The Fury
knows in their being that if they cannot be loved, then damn well they will be
feared. Feared by everyone.

Playing the Gargoyle
Guardians, protectors, old souls, and reluctant warden of the walls. The
Gargoyle is the stone sentry who guards their domain whether it be a high
school, church, a summer camp, community center, nightclub, apartment
complex, or any other establishment that has a community and regular
hours of operation. The Gargoyle has two concerns: their domain, and the
timer associated with their curse that forces them to back to stone until
sunrise or sunset. The Gargoyle must accept the fact that the life they live is
only half as normal, and unlike most teens at their age their curfew is one
they cannot break.

The two stat choices for the Gargoyle expresses two possiblities of what
the Gargoyle represents. The Gargoyle who viciously protects the physical
grounds of their domain and punishes those who would cross it (Volatile
2 & Cold 1) or the literal embodiment of their domain’s spirit who push
to keep that spirit alive (Hot 2, Volatile 1). The Gargoyle ponders it’s own
existence but does not concern itself about the dark things that lie off it’s
ground or beyond the curtain. The Gargoyle can be stoic but relatable, excit-
ed but also lonely. Their struggle to make the best of their situation while
forcing themselves to be ever vigilant; the Gargoyle faces exhaustion and
depression about their situation.

Similarly, not all Gargoyles are stone statues in their dormant or animate
forms. You could be a sculpture of metal or wood or plaster, a painting or
mural, an old mascot costume or band uniform. Anything works as long as
it’s at least vaguely an anthropomorphic form, and it should be something
that won’t be easily missed when you are walking around looking like a hu-
man. As a Gargoyle you’re tied to your domain, so protecting and helping it
should always be your first priority. Balancing your duty versus your friends The Gargoyle

Playing the Minotaur
Violent, lonely, and a downright bullt. The Minotaur is one who secretly
longs for friendship and acceptance, easily manipulated by anyone who
knows how to push their buttons. The Minotaur is often used and aimed
towards specific people in order to carry out the agenda of those who
control the Minotaur.

The two stat choices of the Minotaur highlight similiar schools of thought
with different ways of execution. Your traditional Minotaur is hotblooded
and angry ready to punch their way through anyone while being vunerable
to the jests of others, and being as passionate in their love life as they are
in their violence (Volatile 2 & Hot 1). The other path dictactes a Minotaur
who is as mentally cruel as they are violent pushed this way through years
of loneliness and perhaps even abuse. (Cold 2 & Volatile 1).

The conditions associated with the Minotaur are largely metaphorical. In

the Maze represents a way to express that your dangerous attention has
been drawn to them, whether or not this ends in you beating them up is
up to you. Golden Thread represents someone who is in your good books or
someone who you were asked to leave alone by someone worth listening
to.

The Minotaur revolves around inflicting these conditions as often as possi-

ble. Take the moves Matador and Seeing Red in order to easily dispatch your
conditions to everyone around you. No Way Out represents a more super-
natural move that’ll allow you to track the object of your anger no matter
how far they are.

When your Darkest Self break, you got a list and you’ve checked it twice.
Dispatch as much violence as possible and don’t stop until everyone’s been
given an attitude adjustment.
The Minotaur
It wasn’t like you to be a bully. It’s not your fault your bigger than the others, or
are a little slow in your words, or are as they say naturally scary. But the
Minotaur knows it is what it is. They understand that their friends are afraid
of them or worse want to use them. But atleast if you beat people up for them
they’ll give you the time of day. Anything is better than being alone.

Sometimes you regret it, sometimes it hurts you. But getting angry always seem
Credits to be a fine solution. Anything to escape the labyrinth.

Playing the Mummy
Royal, confident, powerful, and fallen. The Mummy is a person out of time
that has lost their former glory with a unquenchable thirst to get it all
back. They are aware of exactly how great they are, and completely
convinced of their own innate royalty. Never questioning whether they
deserve it or not, because of course they do. Only the best of the best will
suit someone with their lofty status. Any actions they take to aquire these
things is justified to them. Selfish at their core.

The two stat choices paint the same story but different themes, the
Mummy can be as glorious as they think they are with beautiful stature
that truly makes them feel like the ruler they truly are (Hot 2 & Dark 1),
however the Mummy can be someone drapped in the mysticism that is
often associated with the lore, a priest or priestess that uses their magic in
order to ensnare everyone around them, forcing them to submit (Dark 2 &
Cold 1).

Taking the move Soulmate adds another whole new field of play to the
Mummy allowing you to pick another character and giving you the task to
force them under you, as your second in command, but your second
nonetheless. Mummy’s Curse deters others from attemping to harm you, and
Soul Eater giving you a powerful weapon to use against those who try to
cross you. The Cursed Artifacts is by far the most powerful move the Mum-
my has in terms of versatility but also is a double edge sword. Use it wisely.

Pursue your former glory, whether you do this through subversion or

directly, the Mummy may attempt to sate themselves with their new life
but in the end it will never be enough. When you finally enter your Darkest
Self, your plan trumps all and it’s time to go to work.
The Mummy
The Mummy once had it all. Wealth, power, station, the adoration of followers,
love, magic. They were the kings and queens of old civilizations, at the head of
the table, and that life was good. However something took it away from,
wretching them from glory and leaving them with nothing but darkness and the
cruel tides of time.

Playing the Muse
Misunderstood genius, passionate, and obsessed. The Muse is a savant who
can elevate their skill to truly be called a master, or they could if something
wasn’t holding them back. A terrible injury, disfigurement, or other obsta-
cle prevented them from truly reaching the heights they were destined for.
Both those who cannot do, teach. So the Muse takes on a Prodigy, someone
to pass down their art. The Muse is crazed brilliance manifested directed at
their one chosen student. They’ll do anything - no matter how vile - to see
them succeed.

The two stat choices for the Muse both contain Cold because they are indif-
ferent and hardened to most of the outside world. Whether you approach
furthering your Prodigy as something increasingly violent (Dark 2 & Cold 1)
or perhaps you prefer to ensure to keep your Prodigy under your thumb as
long as possible (Cold 2 & Volatile 1), your moves and your actions revolve
around your Prodigy.

If you wish to eliminate the obstacles around your Prodigy choose Punjab
Lasso in order to give the upper hand as your targets become embroiled
within your schemes and traps. Taking Grasshopper or Scorpion and Don Juan
Triumphant allows you to focus on grooming your Prodigy to become your
eternal love. When your Darkest Self strikes it’s now the time to enact that
plan and whisk them away to the land of your fantasies.

The Muse
You’ve always had an amazing talent, something that could set you beyond the
rest. But the others never could see past your flaws, whether it was your past, or
your own appearance and so you remained scorned that is until you met them.
They got your attention whether it was their own skill, beauty, or just passion.
You knew in an instant that you needed them, you wanted them, and their
success became your own.

oppositon, teaching them personally, or leaving a trail of bodies and bribery. You

Playing the Proxy
Victim, villain, slaver, and slave. The Proxy is under the eye of a cruel entity,
forcing them to choose between their own survival or the survival on
others. Aware of their actions some times and other times not, the Proxy
dawns the mask in order to serve it’s master. Their task, to torment the
target that It gives them and bring these poor unfortunate souls closer to
It’s grasp. When their target’s spirit is broken and consumed, the Proxy can
rest easy if only for a bit. Another one in it’s ranks.

The two stat choices for the Proxy allow you to choose a path of a violent
and dangerous being (Volatile 2 & Dark 1) or the silent watcher who waits
among the tree (Dark 2 & Cold 1). With a consistenly low Hot stat, they
are unhinged and the feeling of something being off is ever present. From
their masked alter ego to their increasing paranoia and prey mentality; the
theme of desperation and survival are big for the Proxy.

While you play the Proxy, your information gathering is your greatest toll.
Use the Proxy’s ability to quickly gain strings in order to entice your targets
into the grasp of It. Entice and over experience for investigating your clues,
taking trips into the woods or abandoned houses at night, or convincing

Playing the Reaper
Legendary, sought after, burdened, and inadequate. The Reaper has a great
deal of power, but it comes with responsibility and using it to benefit
themselves personally is problematic. Others suck up to the Reaper, but the
Reaper wonders if anyone cares about them, personally, or just their job.
They often live in the shadow of their predecessor. It’s hard to live up to
the name.

The two stat choices for the Reaper present two very different sides of the
same coin. A character who is cruel and very much in touch with their
position as the ferrymen of the dead (Dark 2 & Cold 1) or a Reaper who is
much more in touch with their emotions and very much here to stop to
punch a timecard (Volatile 2 & Hot 1). Your powers of death make you leaps
and bound stronger than most people and other skins, however just keep
in mind the code of the reaper, which is a guillotine that hangs over your
neck at all times.

All in a Day’s Work and Don’t Fear the Reaper allow you to play to the duality
of your nature, rewarding you for just following orders if you choose to
simply stick to the protocol or encouraging you to go off-book and aid in
whatever problems you deem fit. Are you a Reaper because you are fulfill-
ing a debt or an obligation, or perhaps you see yourself as a dark avenger
ready to strike at those that would bring the realm of the Underworld into
play.

Your powers of death make you ever so versatile for every situation, choose
The Reaping and Gate of the Underworld if you wish to play as something
more akin to the Chosen. Choosing to go with Convene, and License to
Depart puts you more on the role of a spiritual medium than your typical
loose cannon Reaper.
Using your Sex Move not only brings them into the messy business of
reaping but may also aid them at their darkest hour. When Darkest Self is
in effect, you are “fired” from guiding, ferrying, and executing, those powers
should be lost as well. It is important that, without the mantle of Reaper,
you are just a normal person.

The Reaper
They are the teens with the strange jobs they are always going to, always
cancelling at the last minute because they got “called in”. They might not want
this job but deep down they know it’s what makes them special. The Reaper is
a defender, a salary man, and most of the time it’s errand boy. The Reaper is
called in to face the threats to the sanctity of life and death, the Ghoul that lives
forever, he’s on the list. That Ghost that keeps attacking the students after dark,
they’re another name for the reaping.
The Reaper is an ally to all things living and scourge to everything undead or
immortal. Armed with great power, and even greater responsibility.
But sometimes you just need to let loose and break a few rules.

Playing the Succubus
Lonely, heartless, public, dangerous. The Succubus is temptation in the
literal flesh: always there to give everyone what they want, to make up for
their weaknesses, to save them the trouble of becoming a better person. All
they have to do is ask. But deep down they know, everytime they ask, the
Succubus takes something from them and eventually they’ll be nothing left
to take.

The two stat choices for the Succubus both have Hot 2, because turning
people on and enticing them with your assets is exactly what you were
born to do. If your looking to play a mega bitch who isn’t afraid to be a
tease and put down those lesser than them (Hot 2 & Cold 1) or perhaps
maybe your more in touch with your infernal side and want to better emu-
late the true legend of the Succubus (Hot 2 & Dark 1), the Succubus has got
you covered. The Succubus relies on buying their friends rather than mak-
ing them. Horde all the strings you can, and keep them under your spell.

Your Infernal Gifts allow you turn the whole tide of the game, the trade
off is you never decide how they get used. Don’t get directly involved with
conflicts, instead play the role of the arms dealer and fuel both sides with
your infernal delight. Take Addictive to help better keep NPCs and other
players under your thumb. Take advantage of the fact it doesn’t require a
full sexual act to activate. Wet Dreams is a powerful tool that allow you to
better manipulate and position for your agenda, but note that while pow-
erful you’ll need to be cunning in order to be in someone’s prescence while
they sleep.

Your Sex Move is going to be going off alot, netting alot of Strings on ev-
eryone you take a turn with and giving you more leverage for your other
actions. When you Darkest Self finally comes to light, your not worrying
about playing a sensitive game anymore. You want to mess with enough
relationships until the whole social order of the school comes down.
The Succubus
Everybody wants them. Hell, you can’t deny that you want them to. They are lust
incarnate. People come to them begging for a moment of pleasure in the school’s
toilet, or to help seduce the object of their desire. Everyone wants something and
the Succubus is there to give to them. They understand that their relationships
are based off a system of give and take, and that the people who claim to love
them are nothing more than junkies of their flesh.

Credits The Succubus feeds of people desire and hidden kinks that make them feel a
bit better about their own jostled existence. When their partners get what they

Playing the Unchained
Repressed, looking to be freed, addictive, and wrapped up in immense
dysphoria. The Unchained is violent dysfunction wrapped in a package and
topped with a pretty bow. The Unchained has their other self as an outlet
for all their secret needs. Constantly warring between accepting
accountability for the actions of the other, or living the life they always
wanted to. There is no obstacle the Unchained can’t break through with the
aid of his alter ego.

The two stat choices of the Unchained reflect not just yourself but also
your other self. Is your base identity someone who is cold and has
immersed themselves in keeping others at bay before transforming into a
social butterfly of flirting and violence (Cold 2 & Dark 1)? Or maybe your
base identity is someone who is outspoken and slightly vunerable, leaving
your other self as a cold uncaring beast who only wants to hurt others (Hot
2 & Dark 1)? Because of your natural connection to both sides of yourself,
you are naturally immersed in Dark.

Taking Dysphoria/Eurphoria allows benefits for each stat spread you can
choose from allowing you to perform normal actions to your transformed
form’s strength rather than their weakness. Taking Addiction and Unholy
Glee allows you to play as someone who enjoys their transformation rather
than fearing it, but be careful it’s a slippery slope. If you want to make your
other self a truly frightening change, take Your Not Me! for the potential to
turn your other self into a full blown menace.

Play to your strengths of versatility and don’t be afraid to cause a mess,

by transforming there is no problem you can’t solve. Understand that one
cannot exist without the other and balance is always needed. When your
Darkest Self you are at your strongest but you are also at your most
vulnerable.
The Unchained
Most people wonder about the person they should be, doing the things they
shouldn’t do. The Unchained doesn’t need to wonder because their id and ego are
in constant war with one another. All day, every day, burying their real desires
because giving in would mean losing everything - family, friends, and a place
in the world. So they kept their head down, and hated themselves. Everything
feeling wrong to them.

Playing the Unseen
Voyeuristic, constantly tempted, and watched by no one. The Unseen is
alone and unnoticed. An urban legend and a phantasm, unseen and usually
forgotten. For some reason the Unseen is gone from this world, whether
she is literally invisible or just unable to be noticed. The Unseen is alone but
they are free, they don’t have to go to class if they dont want to. It’s easy
for them to skulk around and spy on everyone, and go about unchalleneged
by anyone.

The two stat choices for the Unseen set you on two different paths. Are
you a being who is cold towards everyone and out of touch, looking to
torment those for her lonliness (Cold 2, Volatile 1), or perhaps you are the
embodiment a literal urban legend and a connection deeply ingrained with
the Abyss (Dark 2, Cold 1). With a low Hot stat across the board, the Unseen
cannot interact with others to the point were perhaps they have forgotten
what it means to interact with people in the first place. Whether it be the
mystery of tracking down the reason for your condition or learning to live
in a world that recognizes you one moment and forgets you the next.

When playing the Unseen, your main mechanic is your gift as well as your
curse. While you won’t be able to interact with others most of the time,
you will be able to use your talents to gather information and complete
your agenda unopposed. Taking Voyeur allows you to capitilize on this more
