@CrazyFennec A passive curse? How do you mean? As in, you want your ability to be constantly active?

Strongman lost his ability to read. It would happen whether I was using my powers or not.

@CrazyFennec Oooooh, right, your Compulsion. Every character has to have a Compulsion as a part of their Contract with the Circus - it's up to you what you want it to be. Losing the ability to read books is Auguste's Compulsion.

How's this?

Ice creation/manipulation.

Compulsion-He drains the heat of any living creature he comes intact with. Even through things like thin clothes. Prolong contact causes frostbite conditions. Around 20 to 30 minutes.

@CrazyFennec
The powers of the Contract come with an RP cost, a compulsion, such as "I cannot tell a lie, not even a kind one" or "I cannot give in to fear or terror." Breaking this compulsion means your character will be expelled from the Circus forevermore. Be creative with this. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Character Template


Having the Compulsion of “He must drain the heat form every living creature he comes in contact with” would be both an incredibly strict, and incredibly dangerous Compulsion. Any prolonged encounter with the Cast, specifically in times of combat, could easily prove fatal.

The point of a Compulsion is to provide characterisation, and to force your character into doing things their personality might not otherwise allow them to. It allows for unique interactions and encounters - which is why it is recommended to be creative with it. You needn’t have your Compulsion even relate to your ability - most of us haven’t. Sure, your current idea could do that, but it could also limit your chances for interaction, and that’s something I’d like to avoid if possible.

What you have there is a negative side to your ability, rather than a Compulsion. If you want to keep that Trait for your character, go right ahead, but we’re going to need a proper Compulsion for them before they can be accepted.

If I could make a recommendation, finish the rest of your sheet first. Work on your Audition and Backstory. You might suddenly have an idea for your Compulsion while doing so. It took me a while to come up with my Compulsion. I’d also recommend taking a look through the already accepted sheets and see what Compulsions we have, to give yourself some more insight on what you should be aiming for.

@Vocab Huh.... I ran my compultion based on the Ringmaster's point of view, IE "This is an otherwordly demon, I should take extreme precautions with it" not in a view of stuff the character wouldn't normally do.

@Archmage MC Eh, that’s fair. I’ve just viewed the Compulsion section as a way to create more interesting interactions via character quirks since I read the template, so maybe it’s just personal preference on my end XD

Regardless, I think the majority of the points would still stand even if you went into it without my view of the Compulsions.

@Archmage MC sorry if I am over stepping boundries... But some complusions for an Iceman might be avoiding direct sunlight. Sleeping on a bed of ice. Only eating or drinking cold foods. Diminishing beneath the heat...
