Soul Sparks

Passions are granted by the three Soul Colours you assign to your character at creation, and should be used by the GM and other players to generate story hooks and plot-lines that highlight the character's distinguishing characteristics. Bear in mind when choosing your Soul Colours that they remain unchanged for the duration of play after character creation, and that they will likely have a large bearing upon the shape of unfolding story events. For instance, if your Evil-aligned character's Primary Colour is the Soul of the Elitist they will hold great (and largely unreasoning) animosity towards those they see as cultural inferiors. With this in mind, the GM should endeavour to weave a story that involves the character's interaction with slaves, prostitutes, members of a race the character deems to be "less than", etc. This will not only bring the character's passion modifiers into play, but also generate tension and narrative vividness as the player can choose whether their character will change their bigoted ways or double down and become even more reprehensible over time.
The bonus you receive from your Primary Soul Colour is +3, your Secondary Soul Colour +2 and your Tertiary Soul Colour +1.
In addition to your Passion modifiers, which you receive for free, you may purchase Sparks specific to your character's Primary Soul Colour, which are listed in the Sparks section of this book.

Good: Your Passion modifier is applied as a Bonus to Diplomacy (Awe) rolls, Diplomacy (Negotiate) rolls and any rolls made with the intent of bringing about the social and cultural betterment of a group of people, and as a penalty to Guile (Acting, Con Artistry, Lying) rolls made to mislead or otherwise provide wilful falsity to others.
Neutral: Your Passion modifier is applied as a Bonus to Diplomacy (Awe) rolls to impress those who admire the same broad qualities that you seek to emulate, and as a penalty to Insight (Emotions) and Insight (Lies) rolls when trying to pick up on falseness and deception in others.
Evil: Your Passion Modifier is applied as a Bonus to Guile (Acting, Con Artistry, Lying) rolls made with the intent of deceiving, sabotaging or otherwise leading others to ruin, and as a penalty to Diplomacy (Awe) and Diplomacy (Negotiate) rolls made when dealing with those for whom you possess contempt.
=== Corruption 0-4 (Law, Lawful Good or Good-aligned) ===
=== Expression of Status: Authentic ===
You possess undisputed and genuine significance, and truly are the cultural ideal you appear to be.
Your Passion modifier is added as a bonus to all Diplomacy rolls made involving members of your target group with the intention of uplifting, elevating and bringing about the best result for them and others, and as a penalty to Guile rolls made to appear as less eloquent, esteemed and well-cultured than you actually are.
=== Corruption 5-10 (Neutral Good, Neutral or Neutral Evil-aligned) ===
=== Expression of Status: Ostensible ===
You tend to present yourself as if you possess qualities, abilities and competencies which you in fact do not. Define a target group whom you deem to be admirable and whom you wish to emulate and identify yourself with. This group should consist of a demographic, cultural or religious base whose values and ideals you seek to embody. Your Passion modifier is added as a bonus to any rolls made to recall information and happenings concerning your target group. The modifier is also applied as a penalty to your Insight rolls, as you have lost touch with your true self beneath your exterior image, and so lost touch with others'.
For example, an ostensible cleric of Lucatile may wish to be the ideal embodiment of this god's teachings, developing an external image of flamboyant dignity and honour and absorbing as much information about the standards of the clergy (his target group) as he can in order to fine-tune this image. In one scene, a travelling companion of his enquires as to the role his church played in a relatively obscure historical event, and he gets a +3 bonus to his Academics (History) roll to accurately recall this information (Soul of the Elitist being his Primary Colour). Later, when he and his companion are met in the road by a sinister stranger with a strange accent, he suffers a -3 penalty on his Insight roll to discern that this stranger carries a certain impression that is more than human (or less - later it is revealed that she is a disguised satariel). This is because he is simply too caught up in how he himself is being perceived to notice abnormalities in the manner of others.
=== Corruption 11-15 (Evil, Chaotic Evil or Chaos-aligned) ===
=== Expression of Status: Covetous ===
You possess a great desire to usurp the wealth, status or prestige from those who possess them. Define a target group whom you deem to be beneath contempt and undeserving of their station in the world. This group should consist of both the upper and lower demographics within your own culture as well as members of up to three cultures or races/sub-races outside of (and perhaps opposed to) your own. If you are a member of religious faith, you will likely have dogmatic enemies who make up your target group. Your Passion modifier is added as a bonus to all Guile rolls made against members of your target group with the intention of deceiving, betraying or otherwise bringing ruin upon them, and as a penalty to all Diplomacy rolls when dealing with this group.
For example, a covetous human noble may be motivated to crush the poor (their low station reminds him of his own failures), betray the royalty (their higher station reminds him of his relatively lower status) and bring ruin to the nearby pech and faun peoples, whose cultures he deems unsophisticated and a stain upon the world (focusing on the baseness of others allows him to ignore his own despicable nature). In one scene, he attends the court of the king and tells a lie to direct the ruler's attention away from the conspiracy he is hatching to take the crown for himself. On this Guile roll he gets a +3 bonus, as Soul of the Climber is his Primary Colour. In a later scene, he meets with two co-conspirators (a human and a pech) in order to reconcile their increasing opposition to one another and ensure the plot's success. On this Diplomacy roll he takes a -3 penalty, as his racist contempt towards the pech threatens to bubble to the surface.
=== Climber Cinders ===
==== Incompetent (+1 Point) ====
This Cinder requires at least 1 Grade in the associated skill and is essentially the opposite of a Talent. You choose any three Talents listed under the skill (you can spread this out over multiple skills). You are treated as if they have 0 Grades in the associated skill for that aspect, even if you would otherwise have Skill Familiarity. For example your character is a great runner with Athletics 5; however, he cannot swim. Incompetence can be represented statistically. GMs have all final ruling over what you can and cannot take with this Cinder and should stop any player from abusing it. You may select this Cinder as many times as you like, and each time you do it affects different Skill Talents. You can buy this Cinder off for 1 Spark point.
