Justice

There is right, and there is wrong. And those who do wrong must be punished, to protect the innocent. That is Justice. Without Justice, there is only chaos, and in times of chaos, the innocent are preyed upon by those who do wrong. Characters motivated by Justice see themselves as needing to be the ones who will stand up for the innocent, and who will punish the unjust.
Justice is much like Conviction, in that a character has a belief that transcends any ordinary Allegiance. But Justice motivates characters go a step beyond, because entwined in their deep-seated devotion to Justice is their willingness to mete out punishment to those who deserve it. Part in parcel of their Motivation is to stand for Justice by punishing the wicked.
Characters Motivated by Justice very easily cross the line to becoming Obsessed, and their gung-ho attitude can earn them many Enemies.
* 1 Hero Die: A character Motivated by Justice gains 1 Hero Die whenever he or she enters battle against a serious criminal. The foe must be at least the character's Power Level or higher, and the character must suspect the foe of committing a major crime.
* 2 Hero Dice: If a character Motivated by Justice manages to deliver a serious set-back to a major organized crime group, such as arresting or punishing the head of such an organization, he or she earns 2 Hero Dice.
* Noble Conclusion: A charater motivated by Justice who manages to deliver the wicked a truly crippling blow may finally feel that Justice has been served. If a character affects a Paradigm Shift to increase Security in his or her home region by 1, he or she earns 5 Hero Dice. He or she is then entitled to choose a new Motivation.
* Failed Conclusion: Characters Motivated by Justice aren't always able to see their missions through to the end. If their unjust foes prove insurmountable, a character Motivated by Justice may choose to abandon his or her quest after a particularly crushing defeat. When doing so, the character earns only 1 Hero Die, and is then entitled to choose a new Motivation.
