NARWHAL is a Muddler, which is a fun role. She advances if within a session she “describes a piece of simple, common knowledge which is in fact wrong, and attempts to describe the infinitely more complex correct answer.” To advance that has to make things for the team more majorly complicated, or maybe cause catastrophe by obfuscating something. Hope the other players like complications coming their way!
Traitwise she has a Pet, which can give one of three boni. Let’s go with adding +1 to Creative if fed a treat. Let’s say it is a sugar glider that helps with social interaction due to its cuteness. The other trait is Director, which means once per mission she can say ‘Cut!’, roll back the current scene while giving directions to the NPCs and other players, and redo the scene as if on a movie set. Fun! The two traits mean that she has Forceful 0, Tactical 0, Creative 1, and Reflexive -1, a stupid hat, and three uses of pet treats. She opted for adding some HP but rolled a 1 for a maximum of 7 HP.
In the past NARWHAL was a small indie movie director. Typical CV for that profession, really - dreams of becoming the new Felini at a young age, doing their time as a student, making a few gorey horror and art movies, and then a small production company financed their first movie. Given that they hadn’t managed yet to leave their home country of Australia, not exactly known for internationally renowned movie work at the time, they were thrilled that this happened. The movie would be a combination of two very disjunct genres - film noir and alien invasion disaster movie. Only something went wrong with a prop, and when the smoke cleared all members of the small crew were dead or missing, and NARWHAL found themselves on a grassy hill in Dallas, waking up as a small animal licked their nose. Waking up their mind was racing with possibilities and realities, and they didn’t realize anymore that the two weren’t always the same. Shortly after F.I.S.T. recruited them.
