Blacklisted
Flaw · 5 pts
Having crossed some Powers That Be, you’ve now been pariah-fied among some segment of the Masses. The results
impact your employment potential, social standing, legal status, credit rating, background checks, rental possibilities, and other significant elements of existing in the everyday world.
Originally presented as an Adversarial Background for Cer tification, this Flaw affects your regional, national, and perhaps international official status. The degree to which you’ve been professionally shunned depends upon the value of this Flaw:
• (1 point) Trivial – poor driving record, suspected shop lifter, banned from a local union.
• (2 points) Minor – misdemeanor criminal record, sus pended license.
• (3 points) Significant – disbarred lawyer, defrocked clergy, unpopular political affiliation, dishonorable military discharge.
• (4 points) Major – convicted felon, registered sex offender, government watch-list, revoked medical license.
• (5 points) Pariah – FBI’s most-wanted, suspected terrorist, convicted pedophile, declared legally incompetent or insane.
A four- or five-point Blacklisting will also wind up in the Technocracy’s supervision database – a very dangerous place for a mage to be! And although the Awakened don’t typically check in with mundane authorities before recruiting or making alliances with their own kind, a mage who’s had major problems with such authorities is likely to have problems with mages too… especially if such problems include offenses like terrorism or pedophilia, which certain mages take very, very poorly.
