Academics

Tech Support (••)
Its the strangest thing - you have the photograph of the killer except there is one problem. It was taken accross a busy street. With lots of Cars. And People. And Trees. With Leaves. Behind a Window. With the Lens cap half on. And a fingert on the lens. Not to worry though, through countless hours of playing with photo-manipulation software for your own "personal" use, you know exactly which hidden filter to change to make it as clear as can be. Take +2 to any Computing roll after you hit a brick wall to manipulate hidden settings to your advantage. Note: Alt+F4 = Botch.

24 Seconds (••)
When in a high pressure situation shout DAMNIT and gain +2 to Expression rolls to more effectively convey the fact that if the person does not co-operate with your sleep deprived self in the next 24 seconds, they will get shot in the kneecap. Drawback: if the roll fails, they're clearly a terrorist and thus an enemy combatant. They are deprived of civil liberties and you become convinced the next step is to wire their genitalia to a car battery. You are after all, running out of time.

CSI Chicago (••)
At a Crime Scene get +2 to investigation if you can take off your SUNGLASSES OF JUSTICE and say an awful one liner with a straight face as a part of your soul dies.

Its Guy Love (••)
When with your best buddy, you can over come any medical problem, so take +2 to medicine when you work together.

Occult

Politics

Science

== Gunning for the Top (••) == Gain +2 for athletics whenever you challenge someone in a friendly totally platonic game of one-upping each other. Such as volleyball.

== NYPD Black and Blue (••) == Take +2 to brawl whenever you attack someone shouting hilariously inappropriate abuse.

Drive

If It Bleeds…We Can Kill It (••)
While wearing baby oil and no protective armour, take +2 to Survival Rolls.

Firearms.

Larceny

Stealth

Tom Selleck Moustache/Chuck Norris Beard(••)
If your character has full grown facial hair, you are clearly a manly Republican. Therefore take +2 to Survival, since you had NAVY SEAL training at kindergarten. Note, if you have groomed facial hair, take -2 as it’s blatantly obvious which team you bat for, and thus are more likely to get shot at. You pussy liberal you.

Weaponry

That was FUN (••)
While acting like a psychotic sociopath take +2 to Animal Ken. Clearly you are in touch with the animal kind. Especially the exploding ones.

The Mentalist Psych (••)
You had a psychic in your family, however since psychics dont actually exist, you were actually very good (+2) at spotting tiny tells that someone is lying in a persons body language. However to inform others you must act and behave like a real psychic, to keep up the family tradition!

How The Fuck Am I Funny? (••)
Completely over-react to a perfectly innocent remark and get +2 to Intimidation.

The Man From A.U.N.T.I.E (••)
When teaming up with someone who is the opposite of you, get a +2 bonus to persuasion for fighting the greater good

Socialize

Streetwise

Chicago Vice (••)
When wearing a 80’s outfit, get +2 to subterfuge since you absolutely are not cops, to go deep undercover and whack them moles!
