Social Points: 6
You can spend 2 points to improve Intelligence or Wisdom, or 1 point to improve another stat.
You can also buy skills. You've had a lot of your father's henchfolks trying to earn favor by tutoring you or showing you things. You're not sure whose favor they're trying to earn, because the Nazis aren't getting any from you, but the skills are handy.

Parasitically attached to a small, under-formed Warrior Bud there sits something completing the connection, duping the Shards nearby by showing up as the full form of the Warrior bud.
Power Points: 7
How old are you? How did you trigger?
[X] 9, it's 2005, your mom, Heith, just died.
[X] 12, it's 2008, your Father has made it clear that as soon as this marriage gives him a proper heir, you'll be done.
[X] 14, it's 2010, and Purity, your lifeline out of E88 culture, lets you shadow on a patrol.
[X] 15, it's 2011, and you got caught out in Bakuda's bombing spree.
[X] -6 SP: "Plan Thicc Theo" +1 Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, & Charisma; learn Martial Arts
[X] 14, it's 2010, and Purity, your lifeline out of E88 culture, lets you shadow on a patrol.
let's give Theo a bit of a physical tone up, and making him old enough to actually be able to give people a fight, plus it best to Give Theo at least maybe a year or few months before canon to have a better chance against most BB capes, depending on the power he gets
I rather him being 9 so we can change some things
[X] -6 SP: "Plan Thicc Theo" +1 Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, & Charisma; learn Martial Arts
[X] 9, it's 2005, your mom, Heith, just died.
[X] Plan: Dodging Danger, Actual & Social
[X] +3 Dexterity
[X] +1 Acting
[X] +1 Reading Body Language & Facial Micro Expressions
[X] +1 Acrobatics/Gymnastics
[X] 12, it's 2008, your Father has made it clear that as soon as this marriage gives him a proper heir, you'll be done.
Between Victor to Teach stolen Skills and Theory for Physical stuff, Cricket and Storm Tiger to teach Acrobatics/Gymnastics and making him Dodge attacks with Othala to Heal up what he cannot Dodge and Strains obtained during exercise, these skills and gains should be doable.
[X] -6 SP: "Plan Strategic Theo" +1 Intelligence & Charisma; learn Strategy and Tactics
[X] 12, it's 2008, your Father has made it clear that as soon as this marriage gives him a proper heir, you'll be done.
I'm thinking that we could make Theo more of a battlefield commander than a front line fighter; so I added a point to intelligence to balance with wisdom and added a point to charisma so we are not completely hopeless in a social encounter, the Strategy and Tactics are there so Theo can help control the battle.
[X] Plan: Dodging Danger, Actual & Social
[X] +3 Agility
[X] +1 Acting
[X] +1 Reading Body Language & Facial Micro Expressions
[X] +1 Acrobatics/Gymnastics
[X] 12, it's 2008, your Father has made it clear that as soon as this marriage gives him a proper heir, you'll be done.

You mulled over life while you coasted through Geology at Immaculata Jr High.
Your father's never hit you. No, he's too refined for that. Instead, he has people for that. Melody and Brad in particular seemed to enjoy 'putting you through your paces'. It was Victor's inclusion in the sessions that resulted in actual improvements. It was Othala's inclusion afterwards that resulted in your survival. Over the few years since then, you've maintained some of the exercises.
Enough exercise to accidentally crush a sandy rock when the door slams behind you. Just a student being excused; using the restroom or running an errand.
The thought of martial arts in the face of this, though. It's laughable. You're certain of it, he's going to kill you. Er- he's going to have someone kill you. Can't go getting his hands dirty. properties: brittle, flakes easily, falls apart readily
You could learn every throw, every kata, every counter, every strike, and yet nothing you had could put up a fight against the Empire. The Empire that doesn't leave loose ends.
You hold the dark rock like the handle of a weapon. A bladeless, guardless hilt, as powerful as you are.
You can't help but look back through your childhood. You understand you're young, but you feel old. Where so many times you've told yourself you could've done better here or there, you can see for yourself now that you've always done your best. Always, that hasn't been enough.
You'd gotten used to his comments about wanting a 'worthy heir', but you were still surprised. By how quickly he moved once he decided on Purity, sure, but also by a particular fragment of a conversation you'd overheard between them: "not to worry, Theodore will be out of the picture, our dear child wi..."
Maybe you'd be able to ignore that if the martial arts instruction hadn't suddenly stopped a few months ago. You'd hesitated to reach out to them, but when Victor didn't respond, you'd tried Othala, then Brad and Melody, and none had responded.
You're on your own. You're going to die.
You feel close to something, and as you come to a decision, you see something vast feeding on something beyond comprehension.
[X] Confront Max Anders, Kaiser of the E88 and your Father.
[X] Squirrel away food and pack a bag until a week before the wedding. Then RUN and make for Boston.
[X] If there's anyone your Nazi family & not-so-friends might not beat, it's the heroes. Skip class to turn yourself in.
Did you pick up any hobbies while you were under the shadow of the Kaiser?
[X] Yes, (Write-In what)
On one hand I'm not sure if we can defeat max. If it was a sure thing then that would be my vote. But since it's not and i don't want our character on the run I'm voting this.
[X] If there's anyone your Nazi family & not-so-friends might not beat, it's the heroes. Skip class to turn yourself in.
[X] No, I focus on my studies
Rewards: 'Reliable' Trait
