Moves
The Sight: You can see the invisible, especially spirits and magical influences. You may communicate with (maybe even make deals with) the spirits you see, and they give you more opportunities to spot clues when you investigate a mystery.
Tune In: You can attune your mind to a monster or minion. Roll +Weird. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. On a miss, the monster becomes aware of you. Spend one hold to ask the Keeper one of the following questions, and gain +1 ongoing while acting on the answers:
• Where is the creature right now?
• What is it planning to do right now?
• Who is it going to attack next?
• Who does it regard as the biggest threat?
• How can I attract its attention?
Jinx: You can encourage coincidences to occur, the way you want. When you jinx a target, roll +Weird. On a 10+ hold 2 and on a 7-9 hold 1. On a miss, the Keeper holds 2 over you to be used in the same way. Spend your hold to:
• Interfere with a hunter, giving them -1 forward.
• Help a hunter, giving them +1 forward, by interfering with their enemy.
• Interfere with what a monster, minion, or bystander is trying to do.
• Inflict 1-harm on the target due to an accident.
• The target finds something you left for them.
• The target loses something that you will soon find.
The Dark Side
Your powers have an unsavory source, and sometimes you get tempted to do things you shouldn’t. These could be orders from whatever granted your power, or urges that bubble up from your subconscious. Something like that. Whatever it is, it’s unsettling. Pick three tags for your dark side:
• Lust
• Addiction
• Pain
Gear
9mm (2-harm close loud)
Big knife (1-harm hand)
Leather bracelet with a pewter-looking coin (The Spooky Talisman)
Introduction
As a young girl Cassidy was a rising star in the world of Judo in her home country - Ireland. Her sights and ambitions firmly set on the Olympic Gold. She had the talent. She trained hard and did what was necessary to achieve her dream. She had the support of her family and friends and her coach and team. Or, so she thought.
Tragedy struck on the eve of her Olympic participation. Cassidy tested positive for PEDs. It was a huge scandal. Her parents, ashamed, disowned her. Her team of coaches and trainers condemned her actions and withdrew their support. Her friends abandoned her.
No one listened! No one believed her when she defended that she didn't take the drugs.
Only, it wasn't drugs. Not really. It wasn't until the freak abilities started manifesting and She began speaking to her that Cassidy found out what had really happened to her. And then there was the talisman! That creepy looking pewter coin, strapped to a leather bracelet that her coach, or so Cassidy had assumed at the time, had left for her as a good luck charm gift. She'd put it on. And the next thing she knew she'd woken up and was late to her testing.
After everything... After she'd had to leave Ireland in shame, she'd tried taking it off. As it was a reminder of what had happened. But it wouldn't come off! She'd tried almost everything to take it off, but nothing worked. Instead, She appeared. Loud in her head. Demanding more, always more!
After a lot of time and a lot of hardships, Cassidy finally learned what had really happened. Her parents and coach, pinning their hopes for fame and financial security on the young girl, invoked strange powers in order to secure Cassidy's performance. Only, they miscalculated. The drugs that they put into her system were meant for the thing in the amulet to absorb and transform into sporting prowess. But they got the timing wrong and when Cassidy was tested, the drugs were still in her system. So her parents and her coach did the only thing they could do. Washed their hands of her, condemning her and getting away with ruining her life scot-free.
But their due is coming. Just like Cassidy's is. Nothing in this life goes unpunished... or unanswered!

Who knows what plans her mother actually had for her daughter besides winning Olympic Gold and all sorts of athletic laurels.
