Roll 2d6 for, or choose or make up on your own, a hidden conflict that might affect one or more of the other characters. These are very much optional, so agree as a group if you’ll be using them, and then, once you’ve got one, chat with the others or just the GM about how it might be roleplayed during the game to create tension, but without disrupting too much, having fun for all in mind!
2. I owe one or more of the characters, but maybe there’s a reason I’m refusing to pay up. Ever think of that?
3. I know who I really am, but do they know? What’s my secret identity? How might I let it slip out now and again?
4. This thing we’re doing, I’ll go along with it for now, yeah, but I know something they don’t, and will work to sabotage & make sure that, in the end, they don’t succeed.
5. Someone’s paid me, or maybe blackmailing me, to spy or inform against the group’s interests as time goes on.
6. My main aim is to get my hands on something, or someone, but I’ll play along with this unrelated quest or mission thing...until the time’s right and I get the chance!
7. I’m a team player, that’s for sure, but if I ever encounter this, well, consider me triggered - I just can’t help myself!
8. If only I’d got it seen to before this. It really is festering now. Curse? Infection? Running from something? Don’t wanna hold you guys back, but...I’m in big trouble here!
9. What we’re doing here, it’s plain immoral. So yeah, I’m gonna question our motivations every chance I get!
10. I’m running out of time. Why is that? Just hurry up!
11. Those voices in my head...what are they telling me to do? Can I quell them? How do they manifest?
12. I’m paranoid? Why would you say that? I mean, maybe you’re the one who’s paranoid!
is there a cunning way you can work around your discord, so the others actually benefit?
what's next?
Ok, so that's you put some flesh onto the bones of your character. Next up then, it's time to gear them up!
...or return to the start of souls of the chaos.
