Future Wars Assets:

Acute Senses (2)
One or more of your character’s senses is better refined than normal. When you purchase this asset, choose a certain sense from the list below. This asset may be purchased multiple times to gain additional Acute Senses, but not purchased more than once to gain additional benefits for the same sense.

Acute Hearing: Your character has exceptional senses of hearing. He/she can tell the difference between very similar sounds, can also determine the direction of a sound’s source, etc. Your character gets a +1d10 to sound based-observation test skills.

Acute Sight: Your character has extremely acute vision that can allow him/her to pick out details a normal person would have missed. He/she gets +1d10 to all visual-based observation tests.

Acute Tactile Senses: Your character’s sense of touch is very well developed and can feel very subtle differences in texture, vibration, temperature that others without this would miss. Your character gets +1d10 to all touch based observation tests.

Acute Taste/Smell: Your character has a well defined sense of smell and taste that goes with it. Your character can distinguish between various scents, smell things that a normal human character may miss, and has a very indiscernibly scrutinizing palate. Your character gets a +1d10 to all scent and taste based tests.

Alluring (1)
Your character has something very exotic/captivating about him/her. It could be the fact they have a unique personality, are very beautiful, or are exotic. Your character gains +1d10 when it comes to Presence in an attribute test-except for Intimidation-against members of the opposite sex (Well depending on the target’s preference). When trying to intimidate a member of the opposite sex, your character suffers a -1d10 penalty. Other presence bonuses related to this asset give the character additional bonuses.

Alien Ally (2)
Your character is in league with another character of another species. This could gain your favor with a certain government, allow you to go into certain circles within this race, or get an insider’s knowledge about a certain species. The GM can figure out what sort of bonuses you would get. Best to work that out with the GM.

Ambidextrous (2)
A character with this asset does not favor one hand over the other and can utilize both equally well. This cancels out the Off-Hand test penalty for using two weapons if the character at least has an agility of seven.

Authority (1-4):
Characters have put in a place of responsibility. Depending on what you choose you can have varying types and amounts of authority. So work it out with your GM. Just make sure your character has a few abilities at Adept level so they may qualify to have this asset.

1. Supervisor, low-ranking military officer, store owner.
2. Private military contractor, regional manager, high-ranking non-commissioned military officer.
3. Low-ranking warranted military officer, colonial politician, or regional director
4. High Ranking commissioned military officer, national politician

Bio-modified (1-4):
In the future customized genes and gene rewriting have become common place amongst mostly human societies, but a few other species such as the Simeons (only can use Bio-modified 1-3) and Xiliens have done similar. This chart shows the degree of this process.
Bio-modified 1: You have + 1 to two attributes, but they can’t go over the basic 11, unless otherwise stated.
Bio-modified 2: You have + 2 to two attributes, but they can’t go over the basic 11, unless otherwise stated.
Bio-modified 3: You can get + 3 to two attributes, and they can go over the basic 11, however you also get the Watched (1) for free,
Bio-modified 4: You get + 7 to divide up amongst any attribute and you gain up to four traits that make your character different compared to the others of its kind.

Commendation (1-3):
Your character starts off with some note worthy distinction. Sometime before the story your character excelled or performed beyond someone else’s expectations and proved themselves to be very worthy of official notice.
1. A medal, ribbon, or certificate of achievement.

3. A major award that is rarely received.

Company Backed (3):
