"You must learn to channel your power, give it an avenue to expand and grow with you..."

Quick Explanation of Character Focus

A Focus is something that makes you truly unique. No two characters in a campaign share the same focus. A focus gives you additional abilities beyond your Type, and will grow with you each Tier as you advance. Your focus will also give you a unique connection to one other character in the campaign. You choose the connection from a few options, and the PC to connect to. Then, the player you chose gets to iron out the specifics with you.

You'll want to determine how you got your special abilities once you've chosen your Foci. The specifics are up to you (or can be randomly rolled if you wish). Some examples:

• Natural evolutionary mutation.
  
• Unexpected viral reconstruction of your body.
  
• Ancestral exposure to chemicals, radiation, or virus.
  
• Experimental science performed on your ancestors.
  
• An encounter with the Iron Wind.
  
• Abduction by extraterrestrials/rogue scientist/a machine intelligence who experimented on you.
  
• Encounter with an ultraterrestrial intelligence who mystically altered you.
  
• Intentional or accidental fusion/implantation with mechanical devices.
  
• Hidden artifact secreted on your person.
  
• Cloud of nanotech that follows and responds to you for an unknown reason.
  
• Implant that provides knowledge and powers from the Datasphere.
  
• Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.
  
• Training by machine intelligence/secret order/extraterrestrial entities.
