Well I spent most of the day working on the Bedlam. I’m not 100% happy with this one but I didn’t want to lock them into “just depressed,” “just bipolar,” or “just fuxxored by the fae” with their ideas. Here is what I currently have! The Bedlam is about altered perceptions and reactions to situations, and the more Corrupt they become the more likely they are to “snap” and rely upon violence and extreme psychosis to get their way. Song influences: “Die In a Fire” by The Living Tombstone, “100%” by Angelspit, and “So Down Low” by The Elwins.

Get three of the following
Voices Aren’t My Own
At the beginning of the session roll Mind. On a 10+ Hold 2, on a 7-9 Hold 1, on a 6 or fewer the MC Holds 1. You may spend these Holds to gain an additional option on Mislead, Distract, or Trick or treat an NPC as belonging to your Faction on a Figure Someone Out roll. The MC may spend her/his Hold to take an option from those rolls from you or to lie to you.
Stop Picking on Me!
You may Unleash an Attack with Mind instead of Blood but if you choose this option you must always pick to Inflict Great Harm as one of your options.
Pessimistic Optimism
When someone Gets In Your Way of a roll you may choose to take -1 on your next roll to only let them give your roll -1.
Depressive Endorphins
When you roll to Let It Out you may choose to take 1 Harm instead of Marking Corruption.
Manic Monday
When you are giving moderate help from a Debt you may go above and beyond the call of duty to either clear an additional Debt or Carry 1 Forward to your helping.
I’ve Seen Worse
When you Investigate a Place of Power you get 2 questions to ask the MC.
Numb The Pain
